Chapter 53: Weeds
Hua Jiao, who was tiptoeing to watch the ox cart moving away, couldn't help but turn around when he heard this, looked up at the faces of several brothers one by one, looked at the brothers who disagreed, and then looked at the seventh cousin who was confused but had a straight head, and then looked at the fourth cousin with a drooping head.

Unexpectedly, the uncle's withdrawal from school still had a great impact on these kids.
But I also know very well in my heart, the fourth cousin probably just thinks about it in vain, and he doesn't dare to take action.
After all, after the efforts and promotion of two generations in the family, it is now the norm to go to school and study at an age. Rules are rules, and they must be followed and cannot be broken, which can already be seen from the last conversation between the brothers.
When Lilac heard this, she glanced at her fourth cousin and said coldly: "Then you wait a few more days." ”
The fourth cousin looked confused: "What do you mean?"
Lilac said: "Well, you can wait for me to move two pimple hedges from the mountain and come back, so that you don't be beaten by the second uncle with a broom and bamboo branches." ”
The fourth cousin was stunned for a moment, and then his nose was crooked: "What do you mean if you beat your ass badly, you can't expect something good from me?" ”
"Can't!" Lilac ignored him: "You look for it yourself!" Uncle is already an adult, you are a person with many ideas, you dare to say such things and are not motivated, wait until I tell the second aunt, see how she beats you. As he spoke, he glanced at him coldly again, and then led the pepper bay leaves back.
Sichuan pepper knows that the pimple fence mentioned in the mouth of the clove is actually hibiscus, this shrub plant Sichuan pepper is recognized, and it is also very common in Lianxi, and it is everywhere. And most farmers like to plant it densely in a circle and form a fence. Coupled with the fact that its main branch is pimple, the pepper guesses that this may be the reason why Lianxi is called the pimple fence locally. In addition to enclosing the fence to watch edible and medicinal hair washing, this pimple fence also has a very special function in the local area, that is, it is used to beat children.
I don't know when it started, but anyway, every household has such a habit. I didn't know why before, but after being fortunate enough to watch it a few times, I realized that it should be because of the many branches of this pimple hedge. Although it looks powerful, when it really hits the body, most of the strength has been removed by the forks, and it will not cause much damage. It's not like those brooms, bamboo branches, flat poles, and shoe soles, which are really fatal to fight.
Although the grandfathers and grandmothers of the family have never advocated beating children, especially teaching children during meals, it is also inevitable. And once the grandchildren are beaten, the old couple rarely comes forward, after all, disciplining the children is originally the business of the mother.
The little girls are just themselves, they are all well-behaved and sensible, and they rarely get beaten. And so many naughty little boys in the family will inevitably be beaten, and the four cousins who are beaten the most are simply commonplace. Several times, it was the brothers and sisters who interceded together to save him.
However, the fourth cousin also knows that the most unlikely thing in this family to sue him is Lilac. The fifth cousin, who stared at the fifth cousin who covered his stomach and smiled and bent over, jumped on the ground for a while, but in the blink of an eye, he caught up with three steps and two steps, and asked Lilac with a shy face: "We will all go to the ridge later, will you go?" ”
Lilac also knew that he was just talking, but he didn't have the guts anymore, just poured cold water on his burned brain to cool down. Seeing that he came up again, he naturally wouldn't give him any more color, and shook his head: "I'll accompany my grandmother into the mountain first, and then I'll talk about it when I come back." ”
In the end, it is a family in the mountains of Gaoxiang, Qin Lao Niang has a habit when she is a child, as long as the sky is beautiful, she will go to the mountain every morning. It may not go too far, but you must go up the mountain to have a look. As long as you don't go for a day, you have to remember it in your heart. And this one looks, all year round, but more or less can bring some wild vegetables and mountain fruits back, that is, in the winter, there are also winter bamboo shoots hidden in the mountains!
And under the influence of Qin Lao Niang, the family has more or less developed such a habit. In particular, Dushi and Lilac also have to go into the mountains almost every day.
The fourth cousin's eyes widened when he heard Lilac's words, and he dragged her aside with a "brush", smiled at the two little sisters who were tilting their heads and looked at them, and gritted their teeth and bit their ears with her: "I tell you, don't get that pimple fence back for me, do you hear?" ”
"Didn't hear me!" Lilac refused, but she was willing to explain to him: "I like to wash my hair with the leaves of the hedge, and my grandmother and my aunts and sisters like it." ”
The fourth cousin is about to jump again: "I don't like it!" You haven't been beaten, of course you don't know, it's uncomfortable to hit that thing. ”
Lilac gave him a blank look: "Then don't make trouble and don't get beaten." ”
"How can you blame me for this!" The fourth cousin is really jumping this time: "My father and my mother are going to beat me, what can I do, do you think I want to be beaten!" He said and said: "Don't have no conscience, think about it yourself, how many times have I carried the black pot for you." ”
This clove really didn't deny it, thought about it, and said: "Then you think about it, there is no pimple fence, if you are beaten again next time, the guy will be a bamboo branch and a flat shoe, do you want to be unable to get out of bed for ten days and a half?" ”
The fourth cousin listened to Lilac's assumption, couldn't help but "Si", scratched his head again, Lilac ignored him anymore, and led his sisters home directly, Hua Jiao listened to the audience on the side, and couldn't help laughing, but then watched Lilac go up the mountain, and envied again.
Xiangye is also very envious, but she never dares to enter the mountain when she can't walk the mountain road, and there is nothing she dares to dare to enter, but her family does not dare to let her enter the mountain.
The two little sisters walked around the front and back of the house hand in hand, picked up grass for a while, hugged firewood for a while, looked at their grandmother, and before they had returned, they walked out of the door.
The uncles and brothers were building a ridge on the ridge of the stream in front of the door, and the second uncle was also helping.
The work in the field is almost done, and the doors and windows of the house are still to be cleaned up slowly, and after discussing the two brothers Qin Lianhu and Qin Lianlong, who stayed at home and were responsible for cleaning up the house, they decided to build the ridge of the creek that collapsed most of the way in front of the door.
The foundation of the Qin family's house is only about ten steps away from the ridge of the stream, and you have to go up the ridge on weekdays. But this time, the ridge of the stream, which was not very wide, collapsed by a third, and you have to be careful when you enter and exit. Especially if there are so many children at home, you have to be even more careful. Come to think of it, you can't just let it go, it won't grow on its own, or it's only right to make some effort to fix it.
In addition, the small wharf by the stream was also completely washed away by the flood, although the water in the lotus stream was still muddy and I didn't dare to eat it, but this wharf had to be built quickly, otherwise it would be even more difficult to do things when the weather was cold.
Almost three or five families near the Lianxi River share a small wharf, and there are no longer a few people like the Qin family who use only one. On weekdays, the laundry and water are all from here.
The two brothers said they would do it, and after the work in the field was finished, they brought in earth and stones to start building the embankment, and the little children in the family naturally followed suit. The rest of the family will also come to help whenever they have free time.
As soon as the two little guys walked hand in hand to the ridge, they were pulled by their brothers to stand on the inside of the ridge, and they almost drew a circle to circle them in the appearance of Sun Dasheng.
Sichuan pepper and bay leaves did not make a sound, and stood obediently in the local area, watching them busy. When the pepper sees the opportunity, it will also make a move.
I have to say that the vitality of weeds is really staggering. After the heavy flood and drought, the vegetables and vegetables carefully planted in the vegetable garden have just sprouted, but the weeds by the lotus stream have grown, and the tender green spreads on both sides of the river. Sichuan pepper knows that these are just those plants that germinate in autumn and winter, and the seeds that germinate in spring and summer are still hibernating in the soil!
His eyes greedily looked at the long-lost green, and suddenly pointed to the clumps of "weeds" by the stream, and asked Xiangye: "Fourth sister, what is that?" ”
PS: On the weekend, what are the sisters doing at home, I find that there seems to be only one thing left in my life, such as code words~
