Chapter 6 Lively
There was a rat hole in the corner of the kitchen wall, and in front of the hole there were one or two kudzu roots with rat tooth marks. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Xia Cao sighed that the eldest brother had a lot of eyes, and he used the house mouse as a guinea pig in the laboratory, and he typically left a hand everywhere. But my heart is still warm, after all, the eldest brother did not question her face-to-face, but supported her, don't worry, otherwise there will be no kudzu on the table today.
After tossing for a morning, Xia Cao fell asleep sweetly, the little fox on the side of the bed seemed to be awakened by the cold, opened his eyes slightly, and when his eyes swept to the paw that was bandaged into a bow, there was a slight disgust in his eyes, and then he fell asleep in Xia Cao's bed.
Xia Maihe, who had eaten the monster coffee, was even more inexhaustible, sharpening the knife Huo Huo to the newly returned firewood, and waving the woodcutter with a thunderbolt. After destroying the firewood, he carried the bucket and ran towards the river.
Xia Qiaomu looked at the firewood lying crookedly and scattered all over the ground, shook his head helplessly, and had to go over and rearrange it and stack it neatly. When he was done, he took out the tattered "Analects", the cover of which had long since disappeared, the paper was yellowed, and even the handwriting on it was a little blurry, but he still vaguely recognized the words.
After the sleepy-eyed Xia Cao was woken up by her good second brother, she lay on his back and entered the mountain again with Xia Qiaomu. The three of them came to the area covered with kudzu, for which Natsukusa now had a preliminary plan. Visually, these kudzu roots have thousands of catties, which is enough for their family to eat for some time.
Based on Natsukusa's incomparable longing for white flowers, she plans to grind kudzu into powder and sell it for silver. At present, Xia Cao thinks of two ways, one is to recommend it to pharmacies and earn some costs; The second is to make vermicelli and buns at home and do some small business business.
The sun was in the west, night was beginning to fall, and the whining sound from the woods, like the crying of a baby, could not help but make people chill.
"Second brother is enough, let's go home." Although Xia Cao is a human being in two lives, she believes in science, but after experiencing the crossing, she is still a little afraid of the existence of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and she can't help but urge.
Walking out of the woods, the smoke of the village's cooking stoves rises, adding a hazy atmosphere to the village at night.
When they returned to the familiar compound, it was also dark. Daddy Cheap hasn't come back yet, and Su is driving a few clucking chickens back to the cage. Next to her stood a delicate-looking girl, about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a pale yellow dress, who was none other than Li Lihua's daughter.
"Qiao Mu, you're back, if you don't come back, your aunt should be in a hurry." Li Lihua greeted generously.
"Is this grass? The day has changed. Li Lihua felt a little strange when she saw the familiar figure. Xia Cao also grew up watching her, she used to be dirty and rolling around in the yard, but now her eyes are clear, and she is a little unaccustomed to being dressed cleanly.
"Sister Rika, you're so good-looking." Natsukusa praised.
"Xia Cao, I see that you not only have a better head, but even your mouth has become stronger, so you dare to make fun of my sister." Li Lihua scolded with a smile, and the joy in her eyes couldn't be hidden. She was really happy for Su Shi, Su Shi was always frowning in the past, but today she simply chatted with Su Shi, and found that the stone in her heart fell, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was unconsciously revealed.
"Sister Pear Blossom is really good-looking, which makes people feel very comfortable." Xia Cao still likes this nanny No. 2 big sister very much.
"I won't tell you, I have to go home and cook." When Li Lihua left, she also pinched Xia Cao's little face, and after a while, she was addicted. Waved goodbye to the Natsukusa family.
Xia Qiaomu went into the kitchen to cook dinner, Xia Qiaomu counted the kudzu in the two big baskets, and glanced at Su Shi for each count, as if to invite merit. However, after he had counted to twenty, he was silent for a while and counted again from the beginning, forgiving the thing for only twenty. After counting twenty several times, Xia Maihe was dumbfounded, because he couldn't remember how many he had counted.
But the thing didn't sigh and sighed that he couldn't count, and said happily: "Mother, we have countless kudzu, enough for us to eat for a while." Xia Cao praised his second brother's rare wit.
Knowing that dinner was ready, Xia Muhan hadn't come back yet, although he was confident in his super high hunting skills, the family couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Mu Han's family, come out quickly!"
"Your husband carries back a wild boar."
"It's a big pig, a few hundred pounds"
While the whole family was up and down, there was a noisy shout of excitement outside.
Su Shi and the others hurriedly walked towards the door and found a large group of people moving towards their house. Xia Muhan and Li Dashan walked in front with one leg, two young men with similar looks in the back carried the other two legs, and behind them were two or three teenagers carrying a dozen pheasants and rabbits. At the end, there was a large crowd of people who came to see the excitement, men and women, young and old.
Xia Cao felt that there were only a few dozen families in their village, and it was estimated that half of them were dispatched at this time. Joining in the fun is not only a habit of modern Chinese people, but also a lot of fun in ancient times.
After the cheap daddy, who came to help, sent one or two pheasants and rabbits to express his gratitude, he didn't wait for others to postpone it, and said, "If you don't accept it, I will have the face to ask you to help next time." ”
The crowd slowly dispersed, and the noisy courtyard slowly returned to calm. When everyone was gone, Xia Muhan cleared his throat and said, "Today's luck is better, the wild boar I hunted was originally a little injured, so it didn't take much effort to hit it." ”
Don't look at the cheap dad who said it so lightly, but Xia Cao knows that the wild boar that can escape from other fierce beasts also has some ability. Looking at the scars on the boar's body, it is obvious that it is not fatal with an arrow, it must have been after a fight. Daddy doesn't want them to worry, so he saves some of the difficult processes in between.
The cheap dad doesn't say much, the mother and the eldest brother don't ask much, and Xia Cao naturally won't say much. Now that there is prey, Xia Cao, a carnivore, quietly muttered a few words to the second brother who was also greedy, Xia Maihe muttered about eating meat, and Xia Cao immediately echoed beside him.
Looking at the children's greedy looks, the thin yellow body should also be mended, Xia Muhan waved his hand and said that he would cook in person and treat everyone. While directing Xia Qiaomu to boil water, he held a knife and carried two pheasants on the ground, and motioned for Xia Maihe to follow out with two small bowls.
Xia Cao felt very strange, why didn't she see the Su family cooking in this house, but Xia Muhan and Xia Qiaomu, two big and small men, washing vegetables and making soup. Ordinary gentlemen cook far away, and the heroine does some housework at home.
With doubts about Xia Muhan's cooking skills, Xia Cao also walked out.
