CHAPTER XVI
When I arrived at the intersection of the village, I separated from Chunni, because I didn't live in the same place as Chunni, Chunni lived in the southeast of the village, and I was in the northeast direction of the village, so naturally I couldn't walk together.
As soon as I got to the door, I found my grandmother at the door, and when she saw me, I said, "Dead girl, why did you go, and you're only coming back now." I quickly shook my head and said, "Grandma, I'm not playful, what do you see in my hand?" I raised the two pheasants in my hand. Sure enough, my grandmother saw the two pheasants in my hand, and the two pheasants were shining, and immediately snatched the two pheasants with her hands. After confirming that the two pheasants in her hand were real, the grandmother asked suspiciously, "Where did these two chickens come from, they couldn't have been stolen?" ”
Although the Wang family wants these two chickens very much, they can't steal them, after all, their own family is a scholarly family. If these two chickens were stolen by this dead girl, if they were, we had to return them quickly, and we couldn't ruin our family's reputation. I hurriedly shook my head and explained, "Grandma, I didn't steal it, I caught it in the mountains, Chunni can testify to it, and she caught one too." Wang looked at Lin Xiudu, feeling that she didn't feel like she was lying, so he said, "Hmph! You don't dare to lie, don't hurry in and cook. After saying that, Wang twisted his waist and walked in.
I hurriedly came in with me, and after putting away the wild vegetables I had dug up, I quickly helped my mother start cooking. Wang's? You say where is Wang? Oh! My grandmother is cleaning up the chickens, after all, I have beaten two chickens, and I have to make up for them today. Soon, my grandmother washed the chicken, and my mother and I hurriedly prepared to make the chicken, of course, my grandmother also kept staring at me and my mother in the kitchen, afraid that my mother and I would eat it secretly. The chicken is fried with radish, it is particularly fragrant, and as soon as the dish is ready, my grandmother quickly took it away, and the people are ready to eat it again.
When my mother and I finished cooking, my grandfather and the others came back, and my mother and I hurriedly brought the food to the table in the hall. When Grandma brought the chicken to the table, everyone's eyes straightened. "Chicken"! I only eat it during the New Year's holidays, and I can't imagine that I can eat it today, which is really good.
Grandpa looked at the chickens on the table and felt very puzzled, and the old woman said that he knew, and he took the chickens very seriously, how could he kill the chickens today? "Old woman, why did you think of killing chickens today?" Grandpa asked Grandma suspiciously. Grandma replied, "This chicken is not me, saying that Xiuxiu, this dead girl, has been caught." Lin Xiuxiu saw that her grandfather was looking at her after listening to her grandmother's words, and quickly explained, "Today, I was on the mountain with Chunni and finally caught it." I said the words "not easy" vigorously. Sure enough, Grandpa listened to me and didn't ask any more.
Lin Xiuxiu saw that her grandfather didn't ask her any more questions, so she quickly breathed a sigh of relief. Grandpa said a word to start eating, everyone hurried to the chicken clip, and I was not to be outdone, and hurried to the meat clip. Finally grabbed a piece of meat, Lin Xiuxiu didn't dare to hesitate at all, and quickly ate the chicken. Delicious! Because pheasants run in the mountains all year round and eat insects, the meat is particularly chewy and fragrant.
When I finished eating this piece of meat and was about to put another piece of meat, I found that there was no more chicken. Also, we women don't have much meat at this table, and most of the meat is on the men's side? There was no meat, so I added pickles and started eating, not because I didn't like to eat turnips, but because the turnips were also added.
After eating, everyone refused to move the chair anymore because they were too tired to eat. "Show girl, you did a very good job this time, remember to catch the chicken next time." Uncle suddenly said to me, I was about to say it, my father suddenly said, "Big brother, Xiuxiu only caught a chicken this time by luck, do you think Xiuxiu has such good luck every time?" "Daddy said this for me, it's really my good daddy. Sure enough, my uncle listened to my father's words, and he didn't embarrass me.
After a while, everyone felt better, and they went back to their rooms to rest. My mother and I quickly put away our things, washed up and went to bed with my father and brother and my brother.
The next day, my father got up very early, because my father was going to work in the county, and when he was leaving, my father touched Lin Xiuxiu's head and said, "Xiuxiu, my father is going to work, you and my brother have to listen to my mother, and you don't always run to dangerous places, you know?" I nodded and said, "Got it, Daddy." Lin Zhi saw that her daughter had promised so well, touched her daughter's head with satisfaction, and went to work in the county seat.
After my father left, I absentmindedly finished my meal and went to the mountains to cut pigweed with a bamboo basket on my back. After arriving at the mountain branch, Lin Xiuxiu found that Chunni had already arrived, and Xiuxiu hurriedly ran towards Chunni. Chunni was very happy when she saw me coming, and said, "Xiuxiu, let me tell you, I took back the pheasant you gave me yesterday, and my sister-in-law was very happy, and thought that I had caught it for her, and it was better for me." I was also happy for Chunni and said, "Well, people have to compare their hearts to their hearts, if you are good to your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law will also be good to you." Chunni listened to Lin Xiuxiu's words, and felt very reasonable, and nodded in agreement. After I finished talking to Chunni, I quickly started pigweed. After a while, Chunni quickly finished her own and began to help me.
With Chunni's help, the pigweed was quickly ready, and Chunni and I went down the mountain together, ready to go home. Seeing that Chunni was far away, I turned around again, preparing to go back to the mountain.
Back in the mountains, I hid the hogweed, went to the hollow of the tree, picked up soap, and prepared to bathe in the hot springs. When she arrived at the hot spring, Lin Xiuxiu quickly took off her clothes and walked to the hot spring to soak. Comfort, that's what I feel in the depths of my soul.
I quickly washed it with soap, even my hair, and soon the dirt was washed off. When I got up out of the hot springs, I quickly reborn myself. After getting dressed, I quickly found the place where the pigweed was hidden, and prepared to carry the pigweed home.
As soon as I got home, I met my grandmother, Wang. Wang looked at Lin Xiuxiu so clean, and asked, "Dead girl, are you taking a fire and taking a bath at home, and your body is so clean." I hurriedly shook my hand and said, "Grandma, I washed by the river, not at home." Wang was much more relieved when he heard that Lin Xiuxiu didn't wash at home, but there was still a question: "Why are you so shameless, do you want a reputation?" I hurriedly replied, "Grandma, I found a brook with no people to wash, and when I washed it, I looked at it, and no one started to wash it." Wang listened to my words, and his face looked a little better, "If you dare to lose our family's face, I will definitely beat you to death." "Wang will definitely do that, I hurriedly said I don't dare. Wang saw how well-behaved I was, so he went in without saying anything, and I quickly followed.
