"Eldest sister, do you say that they are tired? Before dawn, I have to grind soybean milk, grind rice milk, make steamed buns, and grind starch in the afternoon, although I go to bed early at night, but every time I get up in the middle of the night, which is too hurtful to the body. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Otherwise, our family doesn't make food, how about selling these condiments?"

Xiaoliu originally grinded grain and picked up firewood every other day at home. Her father saw that his two daughters were so tired, so he got the starch grinding work to do it in the shop. Now their family has no food to grind, and all they want in the shop are to go to the grain store to buy ready-made.

But the starch is still grinding in the shop, and she and her eldest sister have nothing to do, so Xiaoliu wants to bring the starch back to relieve her father's work. Of course, she can't rely on her alone, so she has to discuss it with her eldest sister.

"Won't Dad come back tomorrow, I'll talk to Dad about this matter, and let Dad put the starch at home, but Xiaoliu, don't you want to be this fan, and we'll be busy then?"

"Come here, let's make this bucket, let's see what is saying first, this potato flour is dry. If I can really do it, I will have to hire someone, and when my father comes back tomorrow and asks how much money is in the house, I want to build a house. ”

"Building a house? What house to build? Housing? "Sister Xiaoliu was very surprised to hear Xiaoliu say that she would build a house, didn't she say last time that she would pay back the money first and build a house next year? Why are you going to build a house now?

|“ I'm talking about building a house not to build a house, it's a workshop, this is just an idea, how much money the family has now, I don't know, this account is not in my father's place, we will talk about it when we come back tomorrow. ”

Xiaoliu watched her eldest sister clean up the stone mill, and she went to the kitchen to pull the grass with a straw basket to prepare for lunch. Xiaoliu pulled the turf back and saw her eldest sister brushing the pot. "Eldest sister, get some simple food at noon, eat gnocchi, and save trouble." Her family now dares to eat some good ones every once in a while, and this white flour is no longer added to cornmeal.

"Okay, can you put the sprouts in there?" After brushing the pot and adding water, the sixth sister was about to go to the hall to dig noodles, and before leaving the kitchen door, she didn't forget to look back and ask if she could add bean sprouts.

"I can add it, I can add it, big sister, go quickly." Xiao Liu pulled out the basket of straw and poured it into the open space behind her, took a handful of wheat straw and put it on the stove to start the fire, she is now much better at ignition and ignition than before, although it is not as skilled as her eldest sisters, but it is not as good as there.

After eating, Xiaoliu went back to the house, she was really sleepy, she fell asleep on the bed, and she didn't care what she had eaten there, so she couldn't sleep well.

Xiaoliu was asleep, but her grandfather and her eldest sister were busy killing chickens. Xiao Liu fortunately went to sleep, otherwise she would have to hide out when she heard the screams of the chickens.

Xiaoliu also said that she boiled water, and her eldest sister went back to the kitchen to boil water after killing more than ten. This time, her grandfather collected hens in the village, and he collected more than 40 hens like that. In winter, hens lay fewer eggs, and in spring they can hatch chicks again, and there are also people in Qingshan City who sell hatched chicks, and many families will settle accounts. Seeing her grandfather go to collect it, they were almost sold, and at most only one or two were left at home.

Xiao Liu woke up from a nap, and his nose immediately smelled the smell of and chicken blood mixed in the yard, as well as the unique smell of chicken feathers scalded on the chickens with boiling water. Xiaoliu got dressed and combed his hair, and then walked out.

"Xiaoliu is asleep, look there, your eldest sister specially left it for you." Grandpa Xiaoliu saw Xiaoliu walk out of the door, pointed to the chicken in the pot next to the bed under the tree and said to Xiaoliu.

"Just come, grandpa, when you're tired, you'll rest." Xiao Liuyi saw that there were dead chickens in the yard, some were shedding, some were waiting to be shed, and her grandfather had just pointed to the pot of shedding. Xiaoliu wears coarse cloth as long as she is at home, not because she likes to wear coarse cloth, but because she works neatly, and she is not afraid of getting dirty, and she is wearing fine cotton inside, and she is not afraid of rough skin.

Xiao Liu went to the kitchen and took a coarse cloth apron to tie around her waist, and went to get her dagger. Xiao Liu walked to the small bench and sat down, opened the dagger and began to pick the chicken breast. The sixth sister knew that Xiao Liu picked the chicken, so she directly took three wooden basins and put them in front of Xiao Liu.

"This one puts chicken breast, this one puts chicken, and this one puts chicken racks." The sixth sister pointed to the three basins in front of the sixth sister, and pointed out what to put in each pot.

"Eldest sister, where are the chicken offal?" Xiao Liu took a chicken and saw that it was empty, and there was nothing in his stomach.

"I'll pick it up, you can chicken first. No, I don't have enough pots at home, so I'll borrow two more. "The sixth sister borrowed two wooden basins, one large and one small, from her three uncles' houses before, and I felt that the pots at home were still not enough. Without saying this, he stood up, washed his hands and walked out of the courtyard again.

The sixth grandfather saw her eldest sister walk out and washed his hands too. "There is not enough water at home, I already knew that I had washed it by the pond, which was too much water, so I would carry some water back."

Xiaoliu watched her grandfather leave with a bucket again, obediently, it turned out that she slept for a while, and the family had done so many things. No, it's better to pick it quickly, and I don't know if I can finish it with so much meat at night.

The sixth grandfather came back and forth with water three times, and her eldest sister didn't know who she went to and borrowed two more pots to come back. Xiao Liutou didn't raise her head to concentrate on picking the chicken, the movements of her hands were getting faster and faster, she not only had great strength, but also good endurance, but she only picked twenty chickens after her hands were sore in half an hour.

Xiao Liu's movements also slowed down. "Little Liu, you take a break first, let your hands slow down." The little sixth grandfather is also tired, and his hands are sore. Not to mention Xiao Liu's non-stop picking, he has never stopped.

"Grandpa, you too, take a break when you're tired, big sister, you should rest too. I slept well, I'm not tired, I just need to slow down. Xiao Liu is not tired, but she can't help but lose her energy, so her movements naturally slow down.

The sixth grandfather and her eldest sister looked at half of the chickens and didn't stop the work, it was dark early this winter, wasn't it just the sun working, and they couldn't see clearly when the lights were lit at night.

It was just dark, and the little six families cleaned the courtyard. "Little Liu, I can't finish eating so many chicken racks, what do you have a good idea?"

"Grandpa, do you want to give it away? I don't recommend you to send. ”

"Why?" Grandpa Xiaoliu didn't expect Xiaoliu to see through her careful thoughts at a glance, but he was still curious about why he didn't send it.

"Grandpa, when you went to collect chickens, did the village know what to do?"

"Yes! I said it was for fresh flour. ”

"That's right! You've got forty-eight chickens, but is there one of them coming to your aid? Little Six sat under the tree and looked at her grandfather, the three of them were so busy this afternoon that they were almost exhausted.

"It's okay if people don't come to help, after all, we don't want to spread the word about making fresh noodles, and it's right that they don't come."

"Then I don't want to give it away, you see that there are many chicken racks, there are 48, but grandpa, you have 5 brothers in this village, how many have you counted? Not counting my father, not counting the fourth grandfather's family, and 19 uncles' families, there are eight eldest brothers in these 19 families who are single. You have given it to your own brother, and the cousin is also going to give it, and the cousin is finished, and the two families of the five suits should also be meaningful, and you gave it out of the five suits, and the more than ten people with outdoor surnames still wonder why they don't give it alone, these are all neighbors who have lived for decades, and think you are xenophobic. ”

As soon as Xiao Liu finished speaking, her grandfather hadn't spoken, and her eldest sister took it. "Little Liu, your brain is so good! You can think that far. According to your calculations, our chicken racks are not enough! ”
