CHAPTER XLVI

Chi Dazhu glanced at Jiaojiao lovingly, this niece is really sensible, much better than those boys. I don't know if Chen has a boy or a girl in his belly, but whatever it is, he is very happy - someone has an orange as a companion.

Jiaojiao gave Aunt Chi a look, Aunt Chi understood, and said hesitantly: "It's the second brother, I feel distressed when I look at Orange so capable." It's not that I said, I have to be light and economical when I am a girl now, otherwise I will not be more tired when I get married in the future! ”

She took a piece of fish and chewed it in her mouth, and continued: "It's not that I said, this brother and daughter-in-law have a big belly, and the in-laws and aunts can't stay here for a long time, but our mother wants to come over to help, even the old courtyard can't do without people!" My girl is smart and sensible, and she is very capable, otherwise she will stay at your house to help. ”

Orange listened to the heartbeat on the table, her father couldn't agree, she didn't like to share a bed with others, the most important thing was that she felt that Jiaojiao had too many eyes at a young age, and she couldn't bear it.

Originally, it was rumored that in ancient times, I was troubled, and I begged these superb relatives to stay in Huohuo!

The orange cried out in his heart, and his face brought it out. Chi Dazhu is really tempted, Jiaojiao is the child of the eldest sister's family, and she looks like a Lisuo person. Wasn't the eldest sister a well-known Lisuo person back then!

However, seeing that the orange did not look like he was willing, he sighed in his heart, in the end, the eldest sister did too much in the past, there was no affection between the children, and the orange was independent and habitual. Besides, it's almost the New Year, and it's impossible to leave other people's children to work at home.

Before he could speak, the two boys from Aunt Chi's family said: "Mother, you are partial, I also want to stay at the second uncle's house to help, I don't want to go back!" ”

Orange just wants to support his forehead, Jiaojiao may still do some work, these two half-grown boys are purely greedy for food and good food here.

"Eldest sister, it's the New Year now, Jiaojiao and the two of you should follow you home, and when you have free time, please invite you and your brother-in-law to come to the house as guests."

Aunt Chi didn't give up, "Then what's the matter, my brother and sister still have bodies, I can't rest assured!" ”

When Orange saw that she was not ashamed at all, she looked like she really cared about what they planned for them, and she felt a chill in her heart, and her face was really thick.

"Auntie, it's nothing, didn't my family come over when my grandma didn't come. At that time, my mother was pushed to the ground by my uncle, and my father still had to work in the field! Now my dad is idle again, and I cook every day, I don't know how leisurely! My cousin is so capable, let's go home and help you do some work! Orange put down her chopsticks, she couldn't eat a bite, and she would see if her mother still had food there.

Aunt Chi was a little angry, her face was sneering, she looked at Chi Dazhu and said, "Second brother, you girl is really fast-talking, I'm not also kind." Since you don't want to, I don't want to put a cold face on my hot ass anymore! ”

When Jiaojiao saw her mother say this, she knew that she couldn't change it, and sighed in her heart, she really wanted to stay here......

Chi Dazhu had already made up his mind not to let Jiaojiao stay, seeing that Aunt Chi's eyes were filled with tears, his heart sighed, when did he see this eldest sister crying?

glanced at Orange discussed, and Orange simply got up directly, not leaving a chance for Chi Dazhu at all. Although she knew that it was rude to Aunt Chi and Chi Dazhu like this, she just wanted to do what she thought in her heart.

She doesn't like Jiaojiao, and she doesn't like others to calculate her...... Even though she is only seven or eight years old, she is still only a primary school student in the second or third grade of elementary school in modern times.

The ancient people were really precocious, not a little bit!

When Chen saw the orange coming, he looked unhappy. Busy letting her do it on the kang, took her hand and touched it, it was cold.

"Didn't I tell you how many times, don't wash your hands with cold water, why can't you remember? Next time, let your father beat you with a cane. ”

Huang presented her a bowl of soup, "Drink it quickly, they haven't finished eating yet?" ”

The orange "en" and took the soup and drank it slowly. She was a little depressed, why was his father still so good to his aunt, so he didn't want to think about what he did to us before?

Chen and Huang looked at each other, when did the usual orange get angry, but this time he got off the seat angrily, what happened?

When Chi Dazhu saw his daughter gone, he couldn't eat. Aunt Chi's family ate all the dishes on the table, and Jiaojiao still looked at Chi Dazhu with expectant eyes.

Chi Dazhu sighed, he wanted Jiaojiao to stay, and he also wanted Jiaojiao to be a companion for the orange. Except for Pear Blossom and Xiuxiu since Orange was a child, other girls in the village didn't get along much.

"Jiaojiao, you obediently follow your mother home, the second uncle's family doesn't need your help, wait for spring to pick you up and come to our village to play, then you can still fish!"

Jiaojiao nodded, her shoulders trembling and crying, fishing? Where can I not fish? When she has money in the future, she will definitely make them look good!

……

Aunt Chi took a lot of things with her when she left, even the loach dried fish and tofu that Orange prepared for the Huang family took away. Orange doesn't want to talk to them in vain, it's a big deal for her to do it again.

Jiaojiao stopped crying, but took the doll. Aunt Chi touched the one or two pieces of silver she was pregnant with and laughed happily, and after a while, she remembered what Huang said and took a sip on the ground.

She didn't make a fuss for the sake of a tael of silver, and she really regarded herself as a character? It's her turn to point fingers? No matter how you say this family, it's also her Chi family! I have to go to my mother's house another day and talk to her mother.

Huang was not ambiguous at all: "I don't care how much silver Dazhu gives you, it's all earned by oranges!" If you know each other, just clamp your tail and be a man, don't look for trouble! Hurry up and leave after eating, my daughter can't eat when she sees you! ”

Aunt Chi was choked at the time, and she wanted to make a noise, but when she saw Huang's face, she was waiting for her to make a fuss.

She's not stupid, and when she makes a fuss, Chi Dazhu must be on the Huang family's side - it's really a wretch! When the time comes, she will be kicked out, and I am afraid that the one or two pieces of silver will not be hers.

……

Uncle Chen drove a carriage to pick up the Huang family, and the carriage belonged to his daughter-in-law's brother's family. I happened to come to their house to deliver millet, so he borrowed it.

The main reason is that the Huang family is getting older, and he can't bear to walk so far. Fortunately, the hammer was left in the town and did not come, otherwise the carriage would not have been borrowed.

I borrowed the hammer of the carriage, didn't I shout and follow me, and the temperament that day was too annoying.

Huzi and Yanzi sat in the carriage, this was the first time they had been in the carriage, and they were excited all the way. Even the swallow, who has never liked to talk, showed a shallow smile.

The orange was so happy to see them that one of them kissed it. Holding the swallow in his arms and teasing her, the tiger snuggled up to the other side to have fun.

Chi Dazhu looked a little sad, Jiaojiao is also a good child, but Orange doesn't like it at all. He no longer likes the people in the old courtyard, and his heart is also biased towards his brothers and sisters.

That day, Chen complained to him for a long time, punished him for washing dishes at night without saying anything, and did not let him sleep in the East House. Although he was mentally prepared, he really knew that Chi Dazhu's approach was still angry.

The oranges didn't ask for it, and they went back to the house without wiping the table. The Huang family went with his daughter in the east house, and suddenly Chi Dazhu was left alone in the main house.

He smiled bitterly, he was really not a person inside and outside at this moment, so he packed up his fate and went to Zhao He to drink.

Orange saw her father's expression and knew that he hadn't turned a corner yet. But she didn't blame Chi Dazhu in her heart, this is human nature. No matter how excessively Aunt Chi did, it was different from the nature of Chi Daliang - he hurt Orange and Chen, and Aunt Chi was also good to Chi Dazhu when he was a child.

But she wears it, and she not only has memories of the orange, but she also judges. She knows who is good to her, and it is precisely because of this that she doesn't like her aunt and Jiaojiao, and the eyes of the calculating people are uncomfortable to look at.

Her family's income is still very thin, she took most of it for Songbai, and now she doesn't have any income, so she has to use all the money she earns just in case.

She didn't want to be a fat sheep to the slaughter.

……

After sending the Huang family away, it was Laba Festival. The night before, I was busy washing rice, soaking fruits, pulling skins, and removing pits. In the middle of the night, the porridge was boiled and simmered until the next morning.

When I first made braised pork, I often stewed it for one night, and the next day the aroma could soak in.

In modern times, oranges have passed Laba in a hurry, and at most they eat a bowl of Laba porridge made by Comrade Chi Bao. In ancient times, it was as grand as the New Year, after the Laba porridge was boiled, it was first worshiped to the gods and ancestors, and it was also given to relatives and friends, and it must be sent out before noon.

Laba porridge made of oranges is filled with red dates, red beans, soybeans, peanuts, mountain red, lotus seeds, sticky yellow rice, rice, sweet potatoes, etc.

After taking a sip after offering to the gods, the whole person is warm, very delicious, soft and sweet, soft and glutinous taste, and the thick rice fragrance spreads in the mouth, Bei Meier!

The porridge boiled by pear blossoms is also very fragrant, and the green brick lady also took their porridge to give it to them, everyone's faces are beaming, there is a saying, "Children and children, after Laba is the New Year".

But no, after Laba, even if the year officially began, those who worked outside are about to come back, and those who do business are about to close, and they will not open until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Chi Daliang's daughter-in-law, Xiao Zhou, came over with a pot of laba porridge, squinting her eyes and smiling happily, but she heard that Chi Dazhu gave Aunt Chi a tael of silver!

A tael of silver, that's a lot of money!

Isn't she just taking this opportunity to hug her thighs! It's a god-worshipping thing, and they can't do without it.
