Chapter Twenty-Nine: Cleverness
After Li Xiao roasted the deer in front, he asked the two of them to come over to eat. Zhang Chengsi was tired and hungry, and his mouth was full of oil. Zhang Cheng muttered to Li Novel, "I think I'll still mess with the boss in the future." Eat this every day, and you are more young than the young master in the city." After speaking, I realized that I had said the wrong thing, and I glanced at her daughter-in-law and found that her daughter-in-law did not react. Keep eating.
Li Xiao said indifferently while eating: "Brother-in-law usually doesn't seem to like to talk much, is it stimulated by my feat today?" That's all there is to say." As soon as the topic changed, Siya suddenly became energetic and said: "You still dare to say, how many scourges are you doing, you can see the basket for yourself." Hey, if we don't come, we'll all have to waste it in the spring."
As soon as Li Xiao heard that he was coming again, he interrupted and said: "This venison is delicious, eat more, venison is a great supplement, it is the most suitable for winter."
Zhang Cheng knew that his daughter-in-law's words were in vain, so he asked Siya to stop talking about it, and save some strength to continue later.
Li Xiao asked them to get busy, and she would clean up the rest of the bones. Zhang Cheng and his wife went to the backyard.
Zhang Cheng took the hoe and continued to plow the snow, and Siya continued to pick up the basket in the back. When the two baskets were full, there were no baskets, so she pulled the plow. Put it on the climbing plow. At first, the two were happy, and they didn't have to worry about running out of food this winter. The more he picked up his face, the darker it became, and Zhang Cheng's mouth began to chatter, is this a disaster for all the mountains. Later, both of them were red, hot and tired. Siya looked at Zhang Cheng and said, "Let's come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I can't go down the mountain if I get down." Zhang Cheng straightened up and glanced at Siya and said, "You go through the door, go in to rest, I'll go around."
Li Xiaojian saw that the two of them dug a whole plow and said, "Why are there so many"? Siya rolled her eyes, she really wanted to cry without tears, and she didn't want to say anything. They dug for a day, and in total they dug up eighteen pheasants, nineteen rabbits. The point is that the whole body is full, the chicken has no wings and legs, and the rabbit has no four legs. Zhang Cheng's words are, this is a rabbit for a day and a chicken for a day, and this little day is beautiful.
When the time came, Li Xiao asked them to clean up. They walked slowly, afraid that they would be late to go back, and their families were in a hurry. Li Xiao extinguished the fire in the stove, Zhang Cheng tied up the things on the plow, and then sprinkled some snow. And he went out.
When Shen arrived, the Zhang family was a little anxious when they saw that the children had not returned. Their Zhang family has only one son, Zhang Cheng, and three generations of single inheritance. Village Chief Zhang was waiting at the door in a hurry, holding a hoe and carrying his heart and walking to the side of the mountain.
When I went up the mountain, my heart began to feel cold, and I really shouldn't let my child go up the mountain.
When he saw Li Xiao, he let go of this breath. When I saw my son and daughter-in-law sitting next to each other on the climbing plow, my face was as black as the bottom of the pot. His son and daughter-in-law actually let their sister-in-law pull them, this is still in their house, if this is seen by the villagers, the face of the old Zhang family will be lost.
This can't be blamed on Zhang Cheng, he is really too tired to work during the day. Siya didn't go far before she couldn't walk, so she got on the climbing plow. Zhang Cheng couldn't walk anymore, so he could only pull the climbing plow and walk slower and slower. Li Xiao was about to take the plow when he saw it, Zhang Cheng didn't give it at first, Li Xiao was his sister-in-law after all, and he was embarrassed to be a big man. Li Xiao glared at him, and he stopped cooking. Obediently gave the climbing plow to Li Xiao. Follow behind yourself.
didn't walk for a while, and Siya called out to Li Xiao and told her to walk slowly. also whispered: "Your brother-in-law can't walk." Li Xiao had no choice but to let Zhang Cheng sit up. Zhang Cheng disagreed. In the end, Li novel: "I'm not afraid to go back late, the whole family comes out to find us, you can walk so slowly." Li Xiao saw Zhang Cheng hesitate, and said: "When you get to the side of the mountain, I will put you down, and it will be over if no one sees it." This time Zhang Cheng agreed.
Then the husband and wife sat down in the back and talked about pheasants and rabbits. What Zhang Cheng said meant was that so many pheasants and rabbits couldn't be hidden, but if he wanted to say it, his father would definitely beat people. His father is the head of the village, and he is in charge of the affairs of the whole village.
Li Xiao pulled the plow and heard it, and said, "Otherwise, I'll go back to my house next time."
Zhang Cheng replied: "If you go back to your house, my father will have to talk about your sister."
Li novel: "Then forget it, it's okay to be beaten, I was also beaten by my master." Li Xiao said this, but he didn't think so in his heart, he had to find a better excuse. I was thinking of excuses all the way, so I didn't notice Village Chief Zhang. When she saw it, Village Chief Zhang was already almost in front of her.
Li Xiao quickly stopped and shouted: "Sister, brother-in-law." The two of them turned around at the same time, and saw their fathers with black faces. Li Xiao hurriedly smiled and greeted: "Uncle Zhang is good, Uncle Zhang is waiting at home in a hurry, right?"
Zhang Cheng thought to himself that he was going to die now, why did he let his father see it.
Li Xiao continued: "Brother-in-law twisted his foot, and we were delayed on the mountain for some time. Afraid that the family would be worried, the fourth sister and I grinded him for a while, and he sat down honestly." Say it, Li Xiao looked up at Zhang Cheng, meaning, how do you want to thank me.
Zhang Cheng hurriedly raised his feet, and then jumped and said to his father, "It's okay, it's okay."
After listening to the explanation, Village Chief Zhang felt much more comfortable. took the plow and said, "Hurry up, the family is in a hurry."
Li Xiao flattered him next to him: "Uncle Zhang, don't worry, my brother-in-law's feet have been snowed, and they are no longer swollen after seeing it just now, otherwise we would have gone home a long time ago." Go back and ask my sister to rub some medicine and wine, and sleep tomorrow."
Village Chief Zhang was relieved when he heard this. Zhang Cheng cast a very grateful look at Li Xiao.
When he was about to get home, Li Xiao said again: "Brother-in-law, wait a minute, bear with me, don't let Aunt Zhang and Grandma see it, they know it's time to worry."
Zhang Cheng replied: "Well, I won't let them see it." Then Zhang Chengcheng heard his father say, "You are not as sensible as the five girls." Study hard."
Zhang Cheng thought to himself, this is making me learn badly. Then he heard his daughter-in-law whisper: "Brother Cheng, don't learn the fifth sister's oily tone."
Everyone entered Zhang's house, and the meal was ready, so they hurried to the table to eat. After eating, everyone went back to the house to rest.
Village Chief Zhang and his wife went to the yard to clean up the things on the plow. The more I cleaned up, the more frightened I became, so much game, all of them were legless. The village chief's wife saw that her husband's face was getting darker and darker, and knew that this was a prelude to anger, so she hurriedly sneaked to find Zhang Cheng.
When Zhang Cheng and Siya came to the door to save people, they heard Li Xiao crying: "I don't want to waste food, it's just that I haven't been able to do laundry and cook since I was a child." I was scared when I saw those internal organs, and I didn't know how to deal with them. So you can only eat legs".
As soon as the words fell, he heard a loud bang outside the door, and Li Xiao happened to see Zhang Cheng in the house that he didn't stand firm, and fell directly.
Li Xiao hurriedly ran over to help Zhang Cheng up and said, "Brother-in-law's feet are inconvenient, don't move." The hand pinched his arm and glared at Zhang Cheng. Then he immediately turned his head and pretended to be aggrieved and said, "If Uncle Zhang doesn't believe it, you can ask my sister." Or ask my sister-in-law. My clothes used to be washed by the fourth sister, and the fourth sister got married before she could teach me how to do laundry and cook. After getting married, they were baptized by their aunts." The meaning is very clear, my sister used to wash my clothes, and since my sister married into your family. My clothes are washed by your daughter and your mother-in-law. You can go and ask, my sister may lie, but your daughter won't lie to you.
When Village Chief Zhang heard this, he remembered that his daughter had said this before, and thought about how a girl who couldn't even wash her clothes could deal with animal offal. I believed it immediately. Then he touched Li Xiao's head distressedly and said, "Good boy, it doesn't matter." Stay here a little longer, and let your aunt teach you. You're tired too, go back to sleep."
