CHAPTER XIII
After my father put me down, he walked directly to my mother and asked, "Are you okay these days?" "My mother is embarrassed to return" is very good, especially Lin Yi and Xiuxiu are very obedient and help me work every day. "That's good, that's good."
Daddy looked at his mother and said embarrassedly. Hey, they've been married for decades, so why does Dad blush at every turn. "The second one, what are you rubbing! Why don't you hurry up and cook, do you want to starve us all to death! Wang called out loudly. My mother hurriedly said to my father, "Listen, my mother is asking me to cook, I'm going to cook" My father touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Well, you go, and don't take what your mother said just now to heart, my mother is actually quite good." "Yes, grandma is very good, but grandma is very good, not for us! The mother listened to her father's words, "I know, I won't rest assured, I'll go cook first." ”
After saying that, he walked into the kitchen. "I'm going to help my mother." With that, I hurried to the kitchen. When I entered the kitchen, I helped my mother to light the fire under the boil, and with the cooperation of me and my mother, the meal was ready soon, and my mother and I carried the meal together and waited for everyone to eat. Because my father came back early today, he will have to do heavy work soon, so he will have breakfast with us.
The old man said that he would start eating, and everyone immediately began to eat, after all, they were in a hurry.
Soon everyone finished eating and went out to work, yes, my mother also went out to work, and Lin Hong also went out to work. So, today's dishes are my washing. I quickly washed the dishes, fed the chickens, cows, and pigs, and went up the hill to dig wild vegetables.
In the mountains, I didn't rush back after digging wild vegetables, I went to the small river deep in the jungle, because I had to catch fish for my father and my mother and brother. I don't dare to fight pheasants and hares in the mountains, if I do, I can't tell, after all, pheasants and hares run fast, you are so easy to catch an eleven-year-old girl? It's better to catch fish, because every child can catch fish.
I quickly used my psychic ability to manipulate a lot of fish into the bamboo basket to oil, and when I picked up the bamboo basket, I found that there were half a bamboo basket of fish in it, and I walked with the wind.
When I got home, I saw that the person who went home to make lunch today was not my mother, but my grandmother, too, after all, I had already fed the chickens, cows and pigs, and there was nothing to do. Grandma saw me and hurriedly said, "Dead girl, where have you gone?" I hurriedly went back and said, "Grandma, I went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and I saw fish in the river, and I thought of my grandparents, you are working hard, so I want to make up for your fish." ”
After that, I handed the bamboo basket to my grandmother. Grandma took the bamboo basket and saw so many fish, her face improved, "Dead girl, you are quite hearted!" Okay, forget it this time, hurry up and buy three pieces of tofu back. "After that, he gave me three cents. I took the money and hurried to the entrance of the village, where there was a mill owned by Uncle Wang, who usually grinded some tofu and sold it. "Uncle Wang, bring three pieces of tofu with me." As soon as Uncle Wang saw that it was me, he said, "It's Xiuxiu, three pieces of tofu, you wait." After saying that, I went in and took three pieces of tofu with me, and after I gave the money to Uncle Wang, I hurried to the house.
Sure enough, Grandma hadn't started cooking at all. I quickly put the fish in the pond, got the fish and said, "Grandma, it's not too early, can you make lunch?" Grandma looked at the sky and said, "You have a lot to do, so why don't you hurry over and light the fire." With that, he went to the kitchen, and I hurried along. I helped my grandmother light the fire, and she quickly made three dishes and one soup.
Stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried wild vegetables, and mixed pickles, and finally there is a fish roasted tofu, the rice is said to be made of millet and sweet potatoes, and it finally seems to be the staple food, grandma is quite generous today? Actually, today I didn't use millet to do, grandpa said today that I was tired of doing heavy work, so I asked grandma to make a little more delicious to make up for everyone, I didn't expect that I caught so many fish, and the money to buy meat can be saved. Because a fish is afraid of grandpa saying, grandma gritted her teeth and cooked with millet, of course, a little more sweet potatoes.
When the meal was ready, soon the grandfather returned. This time, my grandmother and I put the rice on the table, everyone looked at today's meal, and swallowed their saliva, small rice, only the New Year or major festivals can eat something! I looked at the dish again, and the fish! The fish soup is very fresh, soaked in small rice...... Ahhh I can't think about it, my saliva is about to flow. The old man said that the rice was opened, and everyone immediately scooped a bowl of fish soup, soaked it in the small rice, and ate a bite, it was really delicious!!!
At this meal, everyone ate with a round belly, and grandpa was also happy to hold grandma's hand and say, "Old woman, you have worked hard." "Get rid of it, grandma basically didn't do anything, almost all of them were good or not. After eating, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and my brother and I stayed behind to clean up. Originally, my mother and father also had to help a lot, but my brother and I said no, and told my father and mother to have a good rest, so that my father and mother could be alone, after all, the husband and wife have not seen each other for a long time, and my brother and I are inside, and my father and mother will definitely be embarrassed.
I was washing the dishes alone, and the dishwashing water did not arrive, but I added some water and started to boil, ready to mix the pig food.
Soon the water boiled, and I cut some wild vegetables into it, and put it in with the chaff, and began to make peace. Soon the pig food was evenly reconciled, my brother and I poured the pig food into the pig trough together, and saw that the pig was very fragrant, and my brother and I left with peace of mind. I immediately began to clean the yard, while my brother went to give the grass to the cows. After we had done everything, we sat down with my brother under the big tree in the yard, and none of us wanted to go into the room, after all, my father and my mother had been separated for so long, and there must be a lot to say. Sitting in the yard, I said to my brother, "Brother, can you teach me to read?" "Actually, I originally knew some people, after all, I had practiced calligraphy before, but if I said that the gods taught me to read and write, my father and mother would definitely believe it, but others would not, maybe others would burn me as something dirty, so there was a request from my brother to learn to write. My brother said happily, "Of course." ”
After saying that, he brought two long branches. My brother gave me one of the long branches and said, "Look at what I write, and you write with long branches." After speaking, he wrote the word "Xiu" on the ground with a tree branch, and said, "Xiuxiu, look, this is your name "Xiuxiu", come and read "Xiu" with me. "I quickly read it," Xiuxiu. "I wrote it a few times with a twig, well, I hid it on purpose. One is teaching, the other is learning, and soon sleep passes.
