Chapter 18 Killing Chickens and Entertaining Guests
When Meng Tu Hu walked away, Tu Ba Mei stepped forward to inquire about Jiang Fuhai's family from the group of children, and one of the boys, who was about eight or nine years old, straightened his waist, his complexion was dark, and he didn't know whether he was born dark or tanned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info his eyes turned a few times on Tu Bamei's mother, turned around and ran downhill without saying a word.
"He is Jiang Fuhai's youngest son, Jiang Sichun, he must go home and tell him that his aunt has gone." A boy on the slope told Tu Bamei.
Jianxin said: "Why didn't he lead us together?" It's weird. ”
Tu Ba Mei said: "He went to that road, let's go there slowly." ”
They didn't take a few steps when they saw Jiang Sichun walking quickly with a peasant woman, and the mother and son both looked restrained and a little excited. Seeing Tu Bamei's mother and daughter, his mother and son stopped and wanted to move forward. Jiang Sichun hid behind his mother and quietly stepped forward with his shoulder.
"You're Aunt Jiang, right?" Seeing this, Tu Ba Mei hugged Gu Ran and stepped forward, with a smile on her face, "This is my daughter Gu Ran, that is, settled in your house." Eighth child, call Mother Jiang, call quickly? Gu Ran stared at the peasant woman with dark eyes and did not speak. Instead, it was Gu Xi's probe who shouted sweetly: "Mother Jiang." ”
"Uh-ah......" She was so flustered that she didn't know how to put her hands, and she just looked at them and smiled.
Tu Ba Mei secretly pinched Gu Ran and asked her to call someone, "Call Mother Jiang." ”
"I, my surname is He, just call me Aunt He." Aunt He smiled humbly, "Come with me, Chun Yanzi, go and call your Ah Da back." ”
"Ah? Ah Da is ......"
"It's his father." Tu Bamei told Jianxin, and then let go of Gu Ran. Aunt He hesitated, stretched out her hand to take Gu Ran, her eyes were full of smiles, "Sister Ran is really handsome." ”
The villagers of Fangtian Township are basically surnamed Tian, which used to be called Tianjia Village. There are only five or six families with foreign surnames in Fangtian Township, and Aunt He's family is counted as one. There is usually no difference between the foreign surname and the Tian surname, but they are important in some key matters. For example, the year before last, when the production was contracted to the household, the people with the surname Tian were suppressed and excluded by the people with the surname Tian, and the surname Tian was mostly divided into fertile and fertile fields, and the surnames were not so lucky, and most of the land with the surname Tian was not wanted by the people with the surname Tian.
Aunt He's family has five sons, the eldest is half a year older than Gu Yongjun, and the father and son have one heart after the package is delivered to the household, working hard, and the life is much more prosperous than in previous years, and there is a group of chickens and ducks at home. After Jiang Sichun shouted him back, before he entered the house, Aunt He intercepted her man at the door and ordered him to slaughter a chicken for Tu Bamei's mother and daughter.
Tu Bamei heard it in the hall and hurriedly came out to stop it, a few catties of tofu and two packs of noodles were reluctant to change a chicken, this kind of cheeky thing Tu Bamei thought she couldn't do.
"Brother Jiang, don't bother, let's sit down and leave, today is mainly to recognize the door, thank you. Don't really slaughter chickens, there's still a lot of work at home, we'll go back in a while. ”
Aunt He insisted on slaughtering chickens and keeping them for lunch, and Aunt He said that the policy had been good in the past two years, and their family's life was not as difficult as in the past. If you go back a few years, let alone slaughter chickens, it will be difficult to keep them for a meal.
Jiang Fuhai looked taciturn, but he was not the kind of person who had no ideas, and the countrymen looked down on the townspeople in those years. There are relatives and friends in the town who are very face-saving in front of people with the surname Tian for those with foreign surnames. When Deng Guangming mentioned to them that the eighth child had settled down, as the head of the family, he immediately agreed. Anyway, it's just a household, and a girl can't share his family's grain and land.
Jiang Fuhai was sharpening his knife in the front yard, and Aunt He and Tu Bamei's mother and daughter were chatting in the hall. Aunt He is no longer as restrained as when they first met, she is actually quite able to speak, and Aunt He's eyes have been spinning on Gu Ran since she took them into the house. Children are the most awake, who treats her well and loves her, or it will take a while to feel it. Gu Ran would just sit in Aunt He's arms and smile at her, Aunt He touched her face, turned her head and shouted Jiang Sichun, who was watching him sharpening knives in the courtyard, let him in.
"You're not always talking about Sister Ran, why did you hide out when she came?"
Jiang Sichun smiled, stood aside, and remained silent.
"The village boy has never seen the world, and he is shy." Aunt He told Tu Bamei, "Since Sister Ran settled in our house, Chun Yanzi has been babbling all day long asking Sister Ran if she can come to our house?" I discussed with him when to take time out and take him to the town to see Sister Ran. ”
Tu Bamei didn't expect people to attach so much importance to her eighth child, so she was moved and hurriedly said, "You are welcome to go at any time." I also wanted to bring her to meet you, but I couldn't spare time for too many things. Isn't this coming for a little bit of leisure today? It's just that I'm going to let you break the bank, and I'm really sorry to go. ”
Aunt He said: "Since Sister Ran has settled in our house, then our two families are not outsiders, and they don't say anything to each other." ”
Jiang Sichun leaned into Aunt He's ear and muttered a few words, and Aunt He patted her thigh, "Look at me, it's nice to be patronized, there are a few peach trees planted in my backyard." In previous years, people couldn't eat enough and couldn't take care of it, and the peaches were sour and astringent. The past two years have been better, and he has nothing to do with the peach tree, and now the peaches are big and sweet, so I will go and pick some. ”
Hearing that there were peaches, Gu Xi and Gu Ran clapped their hands and cheered, the two of them wanted to follow, and Tu Bamei also said that she would go to the backyard to visit Aunt Tian's vegetable patch.
Aunt He led them to the backyard.
As soon as they left, a group of children poured into the courtyard of the Jiang family, and a few of them poked their heads through the door of the hall and looked inside.
"In the backyard, go in if you want." Jiang Fuhai said with a chicken urn in his hand.
A few of the children turned around and ran. Two more came in from outside the courtyard, one of whom had spoken to Tu Bamei on the dirt slope before, and looked as big as Jiang Sichun; The other looked like he was seven or eight years old, dressed cleanly and looked like a ghost horse elf, with a pair of round eyes. He dragged the older boy into the courtyard and wanted to go straight to the hall, but was stopped by Jiang Fuhai with his outstretched hands.
"Meng Yanzi, you two are playing elsewhere, if you want to bump into me, I won't have time to fight with you."
Meng Yanzi's name is Meng Jianbo, and the other is his brother, Jiang Fuhai doesn't let them enter his backyard, he has to enter. Rushing left and right, he failed to break through Jiang Fuhai's defense line, he hooked his head, and he actually broke Jiang Fuhai's legs and was about to drill under his crotch.
A few children burst into laughter.
Jiang Fuhai held Meng Jianbo's head with his legs, he was carrying a chicken in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, and he couldn't spare his hand to pinch Meng Jianbo. Meng Jianbo whined in his mouth and grabbed his crotch with one hand - Jiang Fuhai panicked, and as soon as his legs loosened, he took the opportunity to get up and shouted "Brother Chun" and ran to the backyard.
