Chapter 11: The Love of Grandparents and Grandfathers (Part I)

Xiao Liu returned to the room and saw her third sister and fourth sister embroidering peach blossom-like handkerchiefs, which was really beautiful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Little Six walked over to them. asked, "How much can the third sister's handkerchief sell for?" ”

Her third sister didn't raise her head and replied: "The needlework and silk scarves are all embroidered, I just embroider patterns, five is counted as a penny, and I can embroider one in two days." If you always embroider wrong and badly, you won't be allowed to embroider in the embroidery building. My mother and grandmother couldn't embroider, because they did farm work all year round, and their hands were thick and easy to get hairy. That won't sell. “

"Oh! I see, you embroider slowly! Xiao Liu walked to the side of the bed and lay down directly on her bed, "Tired! ”

When her fourth sister heard this, she smiled and said, "What are you tired of?" You don't have anything to do in the field, and you don't want to do things at home. You still say you're tired of eating white rice every day? ”

"You can't say that! I don't like embroidery, you have to let me learn, you look at my rough hands, there are people who do this, I want to learn to farm! Isn't this embroidery with you and the third sister? Grandma and mother, as well as the eldest sister and second sister, can also embroider, almost on the line. What do we want so many embroiderers to do?"

"Besides, the third sister also said that this embroidery earns little money, and it is not good for the eyes, I don't want to learn. I feel like it's just pretty with flowers on my clothes, but it's not like that. ”

"What you said, then only our peasant family work clothes are not embroidered, you go out to see most of the people, whether old or young, male or female, this clothes are to be embroidered, what if you don't embroider in the future? I'll tell my mother tomorrow that you have a year at most, and you have to learn, some of these people are from elementary school, you are not small now, you are not satisfied after two years? "Her fourth sister is still there to teach her.

Xiao Liu hurriedly said: "Fourth sister, don't read it, I said that I don't want to learn or don't like to learn, but it doesn't mean that I don't learn, so how about I worship the third sister as a teacher in winter?" ”

"That's what you said? I'm not forcing you to learn."

"Well, well, I said it, I also know that you are good for me, I understand"

"It's good if you understand, is it possible that you will let your husband embroider you after you get married?"

"That's not a bad idea, either."

"Zhao Xiaoliu, are you 。。。。。?"

"Oops! I'm sleepy, and I'm going to sleep without saying anything. Don't talk anymore! ”

Xiaoliu pretended to sleep, but she really fell asleep after a while, and when she woke up an hour later, only her fifth sister took Xiaoqi and Xiaoba to play under the big tree in the courtyard. Under the tree, there is a stepping bed made by Xiao Liu, which is convenient for children to play up and down, and they can sleep when they are tired. After playing two games with her sisters, she said hello to her fifth sister and went to the small bamboo forest behind the house, but no one saw that they must have gone to the ground.

Xiao Liu casually took a branch from the edge of the bamboo forest, turned around and walked back to the yard to lift her small basket, humming a song and wandering around the village. She also met her third sister and fourth sister in the east of the village, and said that after a conversation, she found that only the north had not been there, and Xiaoliu immediately signed up and said that she would go to the north and let her sister go home quickly, and she would have to cook dinner in a while, and the chickens had not been fed yet. Then I saw Xiao Liu hanging a small basket in his left hand, and a small branch in his right hand and flicking it to the north of the village.

At this time, Su Jingxuan, who was on the set, was listening to his subordinates report what he had seen and heard in the Zhao family, and waved his hand to order the kneeling people below, and spread the news to the people guarding the Zhao family to withdraw. It looks like it's an ordinary person. Now it wasn't that he was suspicious and went out, but the five people still didn't find the two of them, and they didn't send back a little news about them.

Where the hell did these two go? Did you let the other party find it? It's impossible! How could the two of them be so smart to let each other find it, and if the other party found it, what was the way to check their manpower?

Thinking about it, Su Jingxuan's head hurts, or are they looking in the wrong direction? Now that both sides have been looking for seven days, Jinguo is so big, where are they hiding? Or did they go to the other three countries, it's impossible! The secret guards led by two people were dead, nine were missing, and one was missing. It is equivalent to the annihilation of the whole army, even if they escape death, it seems that the two of them are more than lucky, and it is impossible to go to the other three countries. Then it must still be in Jinguo.

Our Xiaoliu looked up at the mountain bag in the distance, she remembered that when she went to get pine needles two years ago, there seemed to be a forest under the mountain bag, the trees there were very tall and thick, she thought that there must be a lot of rotten leaves, anyway, it was only two miles away, and the sum of the community where she lived before was also two miles away, and after making up her mind, Xiaoliu sang the theme song of the gourd baby and walked to the woods.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, our little six also walked to the edge of the woods, she was a little afraid to enter, regretting that the surrounding grass was too deep and there was no way to go. She didn't know what was in that wood, it was too dangerous. There are no such tall weeds in the pine forest on the mountain next to it, so why are the weeds so deep here? Even adults can't see the end when they go in, this is not scientific! On the hillside between the edge of the deep forest and the mountain bag is the place where the ancestral grave of the Zhao family is buried, and there are people walking around all year round. There is a trail to walk out.

Do you want to go in? Xiao Liu thought for a while, is she not afraid to enter the cemetery, anyway, it is now daytime, mainly because she is afraid of snakes and other animals, to enter or not? Could it be that if you go back now, the sun is so big that it's too hot on this day. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.

I don't know what the ancestors of the Zhao family thought, there are one or two trees planted next to each grave for more than a hundred years, some trees have been planted for a long time, they are getting bigger and bigger, tall and lush, and there are also small trees that have just been planted for a few years. As soon as she entered Xiao Liu, she felt that the temperature in the cemetery was different from the outside, and she never thought that this wolf pack was in the mountains over there. What if the wolves run to her ancestral graveyard and meet her? She's scared of snakes.

It's so cool! The tombs of the Zhao family are also lined up from top to bottom like the tablets, and Xiao Liu looked at the deep woods from this side but didn't dare to go to the deep woods, so she had to look at the graveyard of the Zhao family. The Zhao family's cemetery is very clean, one by one, and the grass on the ground is not very high, at most it does not reach the surface of the feet. The Zhao family comes at least five times a year, Qingming Festival, Midyear Festival, Winter Clothes Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Spring Festival, and every time they come, they will take care of their ancestral graves first. Add soil and mow the grass to take care of the surroundings.

Some graves can grow small trees on them after a long time, and this small tree cannot be pulled out. For many years, the cemetery was full of trees and large areas of shady land, and if it weren't for people, it would be taboo to go here as a good place to enjoy the shade.

The temperature difference between the graveyard here and the graveyard on the edge can be several degrees, and it is like turning on the air conditioner when you come in. Although Xiaoliu is a child's body, her soul is still an adult's soul, and she didn't feel afraid to go to the grave of her modern grandparents in the past. But there are too many trees in the ancestral grave of the Zhao family, and there are at most some small green trees in the place where she went to the grave in the past. She hadn't been in it for a few minutes, and the goosebumps were rising.

In the past two years since she came to the Zhao family, her grandfather has brought her here several times, and at that time there were living people everywhere, and now she is the only living person around. She was a little scared and retreated, and now that she was in the middle, did she go up or down? After thinking about it at last, she still walked inside, and it was all to her great-grandmother and great-grandfather's place. Why do you have to go and say hello and kowtow. The one in the Zhao family, she suspected, was crossing the ancestral cemetery, and she hadn't been there yet. It was all her grandfather's generation, and it didn't take long to reach the grave of her great-grandfather and great-grandmother.

"Great-grandfather and great-grandmother, I am Zhao Wan'er, the sixth granddaughter of your eldest son's family, and I came to see you. I didn't bring anything to see you this time, by the way" Xiao Liu put down the small basket hanging on her wrist, and took out the wild fruits picked in the cloth bag on her body, and she went out either carrying a small basket or carrying this small cloth bag diagonally. The little basket was taken out of his hand.

On the way up the mountain, when she saw that there were wild fruits ripe, she went to pick a few, and some wild fruits had wild horse nests next to them, and she saw if there were no hornet's nests. I beat the surrounding area with a branch in my hand to see if there are any snakes. Very careful, her family also has an earthy yellow dog, which has been raised for several years, how did she forget to bring it out. Mistakes, mistakes!

There are some wild fruits that can't be put in a cloth bag and will rot, she took out two big leaves from the small basket, and there were two big leaves at the bottom of the basket, and after putting the big leaves away, she took out a handful of wild mulberry fruits and a bunch of wild grapes from the small basket. And a handful of snake fruit.

She doesn't like to eat these three things, and there are no children in the village who will eat them, and the snake fruit is a little poisonous. Many people say that the snake fruit is the fruit that the snake crawls over and eats the snake. In fact, snake fruit can clear heat and detoxify and cure a lot of diseases, she even picked some leaves with fruits because it looks good! I didn't expect this to work. The three wild fruits were lined up, and Xiao Liu kowtowed three times first, and sat on the stone under the tree on one side.

She chatted with the elders who lived in the tomb.

"Great-grandfather heard that you are still a showman, right? It's amazing! Why can't I read a serious book? ”

"Great-grandma heard you're from the Gay? What kind of race is that? Like the Hmong? How did you come up with your great-grandfather? She took out a few mountain reds from her cloth bag and ate them.

After eating one, he continued, "You must love each other very much!" Free love must be romantic. And how did great-grandfather think of going to the southwest, fate is really wonderful. Grandma Great, I really admire you, Grandpa Great-Grandpa has nothing but a showman, you are willing to follow him. ”

"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, I sing to you! The grass is fragrant, the berries are sweet, I drink the dew, I lean against the tree, I raise my head, I stand on my tiptoes, I speed up the pace of my growth, whistle, hum songs, staggering to find my way, shaking my head, rubbing my eyes, I still have a little confusion when I grow up. ”

"I'm done singing, is it good? Do you want me to sing it to you again? But I remember the last little chorus, but I don't think you mind, right, great-grandpa, great-grandma? This song is for you, applause! Xiao Liu sang

"The most romantic thing I can think of

It's about growing old with you

Collect bits and pieces of laughter along the way

Stay until later, sit in a rocking chair and talk slowly

The most romantic thing I can think of

It's about growing old with you

Until we are old and can't go anywhere

You still regard me as a treasure in the palm of your hand."

|“ Great-grandpa, great-grandma, do you like this song? I think you'll like it, and I like it too. ”

"Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, I'm gone! By the way, I just ate mountain red, and I forgot to give you a few. She grabbed a few more mountain reds from the cloth bag and put them there, got up and patted her buttocks, hung a small basket in her left hand, and walked out with a branch in her right hand.

When Xiaoliu walked out of the cemetery, she felt that the sun was even more scorching, she didn't dare to go to the deep woods over there from beginning to end, she was too timid to take risks. It's a big deal, call her third sister and fourth sister tomorrow, and by the way, bring her dog with you.

Xiao Liu hummed a little foolish song and walked home, at this time there was a person standing in front of her great-grandfather and great-grandmother's grave, and he saw Xiao Liu walking down the mountain alone and muttered to himself: "Grow old slowly, Zhao Wan'er, interesting." In the blink of an eye, the man was gone, and the wild fruit in front of the grave disappeared at the same time.

Poor Xiaoliu didn't know that the fruit she gave to her great-grandfather and great-grandmother was robbed, and when Xiaoliu got home, she went to the kitchen to find water to drink, and drank a bowl full of water, thirsty! Not only did she forget to bring her dog, she also forgot to bring water. After drinking enough water, Xiao Liu went back to the treadmill under the tree, sat on the edge of the bed, and took out the wild fruits in the cloth bag he was carrying.

"There are so many sixth sisters! You're just picking wild fruits in the afternoon! Xiao Qi was still talking while eating in his mouth.

"I can't stop your mouth when I eat, are they back?"

"I'm back, it's at the back of the yard, I just went to see it, and I'll come back if it's boring."

Her fifth sister said on the side: "Little Six is tired! Rest your legs, you'll go back later."

"What about the third sister and the fourth sister? Embroidery in the room? ”

"No, they're also behind," her fifth sister continued, "Grandma just said she would cook something delicious in the evening." ”

"Really? Are you sure? That's great! My grandma was awesome! I'm going to tell her I love her, and I'm going to go behind the fifth sister. ”

"Go ahead!"

"Flow, go, pot day." Hachi slurred his words.

"Xiaoba, did you say that the fruit that the sixth sister gave you was sweet, and you also want to go to the back to see grandpa and father, right?" Xiaoliu asked.

"Yes."

"Okay, come and carry you over to the sixth sister."

"I don't go, goose go"

"Okay, you go, the sixth sister will lead you away."

"Haha, sixth sister, Xiaoba won't let you carry it, whoever you want to carry is unlucky." Xiao Qi gloated and said.

"Xiao Qi, you are careful, you don't remember it for two years, remember it so well!" Xiao Liu led Xiao Eight and walked past Xiao Qi.

"It's still my little eight, the sixth sister likes the little eight the most" She left and deliberately said this on the side of Xiao Qi.

"Who wants you to like it," Xiao Qizui said stiffly.

"I want to like you, do you like me?"

"Who said I didn't like you anymore. Stinky Sixth Sister, you've learned badly. Learn less from the fourth sister. ”

Xiao Liu smiled and took Xiao Ba to the bamboo forest behind the courtyard, and her laughter could be seen all the way.
