Chapter 12: Trick or Treat
After a while, the brother and sister walked to the edge of their paddy field and saw their three sheep grazing on the side of the road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The brother and sister plan to cut the sweet potato vine first and then lead the sheep home when they turn back. The sweet potato field is on the other side of the rice field, and you have to walk through the path of the paddy field. One piece of land on both sides of the road belongs to his own family, and the other side is the rice field of villager Wu Zhaocai's family.
Because her mother had just been bitten by a snake, Yujuan was still scared, and she was just wearing straw sandals when she ran to the field this summer. Yes, that's right, straw sandals made of straw rope, cloth shoes are reluctant to wear into the field. He picked up a small branch in his hand, and as he walked, he pushed away the rice leaves that had grown on both sides. His eyes were fixed on the road.
It doesn't matter if you take a closer look, you can really see that this road is different from usual. The width of this path was no more than a foot, but the side that now belonged to Wu Zhaocai's family had been dug by him for three or four inches. Isn't this grass and mud embedded in his own rice field, isn't this equivalent to moving three or four inches into his own field? If his family doesn't ask, he won't let his family occupy a lot of land in a few years. I don't know why my mother didn't see it just now.
"Tut-tut~~ This brain is really good. If I had to change myself, I couldn't think of such a good idea in my eight lifetimes. Lin Yujuan really admires the person who came up with such a method. But if you occupy your own land, you can't do it, and when you look up, there is a person not far in front of you. I don't know who is digging the road here, I have to go and see.
"Brother, look at this road, move a few inches into my field. occupy my land. ”
"Let's go to the front and see who is doing this immoral thing, expecting everyone else to be blind." Lin Yukou walked forward without hesitation. I saw that it was Wu Zhaocai himself, who was digging with his head down.
"Hey~~, Uncle Wu, what are you doing?" Lin Yukou asked knowingly
"Didn't you see your uncle digging the ground?" Wu Zhaocai didn't feel at ease when he saw that it was the two children of the Qi family, and he didn't stop in his hands.
"Uncle, where are you digging this land, what are you doing throwing this mud and grass into my field?" Lin Yujuan's tone was already very polite.
"What do you know, go play elsewhere, you don't understand this crop." Wu Zhaocai is still fooling
"You're a good bully when we're kids, aren't you? Hmph, I'll just call someone in the village to see what's going on. I advise you not to waste your efforts. Have that kung fu to get your own land servant right, don't always think about taking advantage of others. "Lin Yujuan's body lives as an adult
"Cut, who has nothing to do and has that spare time to worry about this. Let's go farther away and play, don't delay my work (time). Saying that, Wu Zhaocai also raised the shovel in his hand.
This is simply a threat, seeing that there are no adults in my own house, they are so unreasonable. Lin Yujuan pulled her brother who was still angry and ran away, and the sweet potato vines were not dug up, so she led the sheep to cut some other pigweed on the way home and went home.
After returning home, he told the eldest sister Xiujuan, and the three sisters and brothers discussed it and decided not to tell Lin Guilu and his wife first. Qi just let the snake bite and didn't want her to worry about it, this Lin Guilu was also very hard to sell his labor to pick bricks outside, and he met his mother who was bitten by a snake. He has to spend money again, and he has less labor, so he will be able to work in the field in the future, and it is estimated that he will not be psychologically comfortable.
The three sisters and brothers discussed, and when the sun went down, the sun was not so dry, and the sisters and brothers went together to put the mud dug by Wu Zhaocai back to his original place. Fortunately, don't dig hard, the three siblings can still do it.
By the time of dinner in the afternoon, the Qi family finally returned. Lin Yujuan saw her mother sitting on the boat, and the heart she had been carrying finally relaxed. Fortunately, the doctor here is not so vegetable, and poisonous snakes can also be cured. Lin Guilu thanked Boss Gu and his brother, and said that he would thank him another day. Qi's right foot was tightly wrapped in gauze, and herbal juice oozed from the gauze. It was inconvenient to walk, so Lin Guilu didn't talk nonsense and picked up the Qi family and went home.
The sisters asked their parents if they hadn't eaten lunch yet, and quickly brought the porridge they had cooked in the morning. It's just right to eat cool now. The parents were eating cold porridge, and the children were curious to ask the doctor how to show the snake venom to their mother.
"Doctor, use a knife to cut the teeth marks of two poisonous snakes on my mother's feet, and pick out two snake teeth from them. Ah, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you don't know that the snake has left all its teeth in your mother's feet, it's scary. Then put a potion in your mouth and suck out the snake's blood for your mother, and finally add herbs. It cost a tael of silver, but it was worth it. Lin Guilu drank the porridge in one go, feeling much more comfortable, plus the doctor said that the residual snake venom in the body would not be much of a problem if he drank Chinese medicine. He was also much more relaxed and willing to talk to the children. Then I feel less nervous. "In the future, you will have to take care of the affairs of the family, and you will have to take care of your mother, you have to drink Chinese medicine every day, and you have to change the medicine on your feet diligently. In this way, it can be done quickly. ”
The siblings all agreed in unison, knowing that now was not the time to be naughty. After dinner, the sisters and brothers took the sickle basket and said that they were going to cut sweet potato vines in the field. It was said that it was for pigs to eat supper. There are also two small shovels in the basket, but the palm-sized shovel head is usually suitable for digging vegetables or something. Now the sisters and brothers secretly go to the field, firstly, the parents of the big shovel must ask when they see it, and secondly, the big shovel is too heavy for a few children. I didn't want to take Brother Lin with me, but that kid had to go, and I was afraid that he would not be strict in his mouth, so it was better to take it with him.
After going out, the four sisters and brothers chased all the way to the field, and Wu Zhaocai was no longer in the field. The older siblings took turns shoveling the mud from their own fields and returning it to Wu Zhaocai's house. All the way from one end to the other, it was almost dark. There are a lot of mosquitoes in the paddy fields, and the sisters and brothers are tired and let the mosquitoes bite their legs and scold Wu Zhaocai directly, and their opinions on him are big. While walking to his sweet potato field, he complained, "This Wu Zhaocai is too much of a thing, does my family look so easy to bully?" is so fearless, it's not much different from a bright robbery. Qi Yukou said
"Now Mom has a foot injury and can't go to the ground, so tomorrow we have to go around the field a few times. Yukou Yujuan, you two will still go to the street as usual tomorrow, and come back early after selling. Now the pigs and sheep in the house have to be taken care of, and the vegetable fields have to be watered every night. We'll have to help with that, "As for this, we can only take care of it, and we have to rely on Dad to really get down." Xiujuan is the eldest sister, and she can already arrange the affairs of the family tightly and orderly. While talking, several people arrived in front of the sweet potato field, and the sweet potato leaves grew quickly and well, and the pigs loved to eat them. Next to the slope of the land is Wu Zhaocai's family, and his family also grows sweet potatoes and a few pumpkins. The pumpkin is growing just right, and the more than ten small pumpkins on the vine are almost the size of a human head. It is estimated that it will mature in the autumn and will be very large.
Suo'er rolled his eyes, "Sister, let's take off a few of his pumpkins, shall we?" "Don't, everyone has counted these pumpkins." Yujuan didn't think it was interesting to do this. The sisters and brothers muttered how to retaliate against others, and Suo'er suddenly hugged her stomach and shouted to.
Yukou felt a flash of inspiration, and a bad idea came to him: "Lock it, you hold it first, brother will get you a small toilet." "I didn't have time to pay attention to the puzzled glances cast by my sister and sister, Yukou went to Wu Zhaocai's field and picked a relatively large pumpkin, and without picking it up, he directly dug a small round hole under the pumpkin with a sickle." Come on, little brother, you poop here, don't pull outside on time. ”
"Okay, sister, you fan me with some mosquitoes, otherwise my ass will be full of bags in a while." Little Brother Lin couldn't hold it anymore, so he untied his pants and pulled a bubble of in the pumpkin. After pulling it, I picked the sweet potato leaves and wiped my buttocks. Lin Yukou didn't feel like it smelled, and pressed the pumpkin lid that he had just opened again. "It's done, haha, in two days, this pumpkin will grow well, and you won't be able to see anything in it."
"Alright, we're going to have to tidy up the vines on the ground and stuff so that no one can see it." Although this matter is disgusting, it is quite interesting for the two sisters to think that Wu Zhaocai is so disgusting, disgusting and disgusting. But it is estimated that it will take a month or two to see the effect. Lin Yujuan said and straightened out the pumpkin vines and the footprints on the ground. Over there, Xiujuan also cut the sweet potato vine and went home together.
"Little brother, you must keep this matter a secret, do you know? But don't say it, let others know that it's you who is unlucky. "If you let others know about this, it is estimated that a lot of mischief in the village will have to be pressed on your own head. In the end, Lin Xiujuan was very worried about what she had done, and specially told her little brother a few words.
"Sister, don't worry, I won't tell anyone, can you say it when you go home and ask your mother?" Brother Lin asked
"Well~ Mom and Dad, let's not say anything, just act as if it didn't happen." The sisters and brothers all agreed with Lin Yujuan's words. When they all went home, they didn't let the adults see the difference, and the children were a lot more relieved. Later, Xiujuan went to the field to see, maybe Wu Zhaocai didn't continue to stick mud into his own field because he saw it as a day worker.
Fortunately, although Qi's foot was injured, the family could still take care of it, and the raising of pigs and sheep in the vegetable field depended on a few children. Moreover, the kiln is not made every day, and the bricks are made of mud (or mud), dried mud, mud rubbing, billet making, and drying are all sold to the kiln by the surrounding farmers when they are not working. The third uncle's family is made of bricks. When the kiln owner buys the bricks, he has to load the kiln, make a fire, watch the fire, make water, and go out of the kiln to load the kiln. Even the manhole water also needs to be manually picked up into several large tanks arranged in advance on the kiln. These are all the jobs that Lin Guilu usually does in the kiln, and he can do some farm work at home when the kiln is fired in the middle.
