The next day, Hibiscus and Xiao's mother got up early in the morning to pick barley, and the two returned in the morning light, and the warm morning sun jumped around like elves and left mottled footprints on the two of them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two spread the bitter barley in a rice sieve and hung it on the window side of the room, and went to the kitchen to prepare a large family's breakfast, and before they knew it, the sun hung in the air, and the Xiao family also walked out of the room one after another and sat at the dining table waiting for the meal.

"Mother, are you done?" There were still some Xiao Muchen who hadn't woken up, opened the curtain and walked in.

I saw Mu Hibiscus cautiously holding a bowl full of rice porridge and staggering. hurriedly walked over and took the rice bowl, "Let go of that bowl of rice and let me come." ”

Mu Hibiscus was so frightened by Xiao Muchen that his hands shook and he almost dropped his rice bowl, "Brother, what are you doing in a panic." ”

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of burning you, so I want to help you serve it."

Mu Hibiscus put down the porridge, picked up the steamed buns next to him, and said to Xiao Muchen angrily, "Forget it, you can help me bring this bowl of porridge, I'll serve this bowl of steamed buns." ”

"Oh, okay, you walk in front with steamed buns, watch the road and be careful."

"Okay, got it." Mu Hibiscus replied impatiently to his brother's words, and when he turned around, he saw that Xiao's mother was still busy in front of the stove and said, "Mother, you better come out to eat quickly." ”

"You guys go first, I'll dry and cut this pickle and come out." Xiao's mother replied, sneering at the dried pickles in her hands.

"Oh, hurry up, then. My brother and I went first. ”

As soon as the two brothers and sisters entered the dining room with rice porridge and steamed buns, they heard Xiao Wu's scolding and scolding, "I have to worry about cooking a meal, right, I'm going to die if I grind and grind, why don't you hurry up and bring it over, are you going to starve me to death?" ”

Mu Hibiscus rolled his eyes in his heart and was powerless to complain about Xiao Wu's scolding skills, put the bowl on the table and sat down and began to eat.

Xiao Wu slapped the table, hit the steamed bun in Mu Hibiscus with chopsticks and shouted, "You dead girl is the opposite, right, ah, did I say that I opened the meal, did I allow you to eat, are you a money-loser worth eating such a good thing, wait for which of your annoying mothers brings the dried pickles, you will give me dried pickles." ”

Mu Hibiscus looked at Xiao Wu, endured the anger surging in his heart, squeezed his itchy hand tightly and said, "You have to be careful of these sweet-hearted babies of yours, don't be a thief that day, in the end, you will have no place to cry." ”

Xiao Wu fell down the bowl and chopsticks and began to howl, "Oh, Xiao Er, look at this is your good daughter, this is cursing me to be a thief, what kind of poisonous scorpion heart, I don't live anymore, my son is not filial to my granddaughter is unscrupulous, God, open your eyes and see, this kind of unfilial son should be thundered by the sky." ”

Xiao Chengren frowned, and began to be impatient with this mother in his heart, "Mother, you also know that Jin'er is still young and ignorant, and she speaks without proportion, don't be like her." ”

Hibiscus lowered her head and tried hard to hold back the laughter she couldn't contain, and gave thirty-two likes to her father in her heart.

"Second brother, this is your mistake, the girl is like that, you have to educate and educate well, if you get married in the future, you will not be able to be strangled in your in-law's family." When Xiao Wu saw his aunt Tie Qing's face, he immediately scolded Xiao Chengren with a sycophant.

Xiao Chengren glanced at Xiao Wu and said, "When is it your turn for our family to speak, you will interject." ”

"Old man, look at our good son, what he said means is that I, the old woman, is not from this family, you take a good look at this is my good son who grew up with a handful of and urine, you take a good look."

"Enough, what are you howling, I'm not dead yet, what are you howling, shut your mouth and eat." When Master Xiao heard what Xiao Wu said, his temples suddenly ached.

Xiao Wu opened his mouth and was about to scold back, but when he saw Old Man Xiao's gloomy eyes, he closed his mouth stupidly.

After eating, Xiao Chengren, father and son, each carrying a basket on their backs, walked towards Dazhou Mountain, along the way met the villagers to greet them and asked them where to go, Xiao Chengren replied, "The children in the family are very hungry, I want to try my luck to go to the mountain to see if I can catch pheasants or something." ”

I also received kind comfort from the villagers, and when I came home from the mountain, I found eggs and other things sent by the villagers, which touched Hibiscus a little.

Arriving at the foot of Dazhou Mountain, the father and son of the Xiao family rested in place for a while, Xiao Muchen opened his mouth and asked, "Jin'er, where are the edible wild fruits you said, you lead the way, and we will follow you." ”

"Then you follow me, let's go." Hibiscus tugged at the shoulder straps of the basket and began their long journey up the mountain.

After walking for about half an hour, the hibiscus stopped in front of a plant with a purple strip of fruit less than half a man's height. Looking at the purple fruit in front of me, the nose of the hibiscus wafts through the smell of fish-flavored eggplant, sweet and sour eggplant strips, stuffed eggplant mounds and other eggplant dishes.

Swallowing his saliva, Mu Hibiscus turned to Xiao Chengren next to him and said, "Dad, let's start, pick these long purple fruits, start picking them from here like this." As he spoke, Hibiscus also picked an eggplant and showed it to the two.
