Chapter 66: Departure
Here, Aunt Chen's family and Pei Yao sent the well-fed neighbors away, and put the dirty dishes on the table into the big wooden basin.
Pei Yao squatted down and was about to find grass and wood ash to wash the dishes, but was pulled by Aunt Chen and said, "Okay, Xiaoyao, let's rest for a while, it's been a busy morning, let's eat first if you're hungry, and this bowl will be put aside and wait for the aunt to wash." ”
After speaking, he pushed Pei Yao to sit down at the table that was cleaned, and he and Jiajia served the meal that was specially set aside before the banquet began.
The three of them sat at the table to eat, and Chen Jiacheng had already eaten with the male guests, so he sorted out the messy tables, chairs and benches borrowed from the courtyard, and returned them together next.
When he had nothing to do, he picked up the dirty bowl of the large wooden basin and prepared to go to the river to wash the dishes, saving him from having to go back and forth to the well to fetch water.
Aunt Chen hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and stopped: "Jiacheng, put it down quickly, where to use you to wash the dishes, wait for my mother to wash it." ”
"Mother, you eat quickly, you have to return the tables and chairs with me after eating, and I will wash it quickly when I bring it to the river." Chen Jiacheng said as he bypassed his mother and walked out of the courtyard to the river.
Seeing that her son is so sensible, Aunt Chen is also comforted.
Jiajia said to her mother: "Mother, eat quickly, I will go to Sister Yao's house when I finish my work." Her house is fun, and she has to take her brother with her, who is the most capable and can carry all our things on his back. ”
My brother who walked to the river sneezed, not knowing that he had been shot!
Aunt Chen nodded her nose with a smile and said, "You are naughty, I don't know if it will trouble her if I go to your sister Yao, your sister Yao still has to serve you!" ”
Pei Yao, who was gagged by the rice, also lay down the gun, and just swallowed the rice to speak.
Jiajia was already sitting next to her, but now she deliberately leaned over, sitting sideways and holding Pei Yao's waist with both hands, the baby's fat little face rubbed on her shoulder, and said coquettishly: "No, Sister Yao likes me the most, I am the most well-behaved, I can help my sister clean the food, and I can sleep with my sister..."
Pei Yao's face was black, and she wrapped her whole palm around Jiajia's face in disgust and pushed her away, and pinched two handfuls of it, and heard her scream twice, before she said slowly: "Rub me with oil!" ”
Aunt Chen smiled and watched the two little daughters fighting, such a Jiajia has the appearance of a child, and she used to suffer to make money.
Pei Yao said to Aunt Chen: "Auntie, let Jiajia go to my place to stay for a few more days, I will dry the mushrooms and wild vegetable roots with her and then bring them back, otherwise it will be too eye-catching to bring back fresh ones, the neighbors have inquired today, I don't want others to know about that place for the time being!" ”
Then he looked at Little Red Riding Hood with the eyes of the big bad wolf, and looked at Jiajia with compassion, Jiajia trembled, and had a bad premonition, and sure enough, she heard Sister Yao say: "It's not okay to eat just to my place, and I still have so many rabbit skins waiting to be sewn into a leather blanket!" After saying that, Pei Yao raised her eyebrows, which means you understand...
Jiajia lowered her shoulders and looked at Pei Yao complainingly, seeing that she had no intention of repenting, she could only say, "Okay, I'll teach you to sew together!" ”
Pei Yao suddenly felt the pain of the needle pricking her hand hit her heart, stretched out her hand to the itchy flesh on Jiajia's waist, the two of them laughed together, Aunt Chen didn't care, and happily watched the two girls want to make trouble.
When Chen Jiacheng washed the dishes and heard that he was going to Pei Yao's house, of course he was willing, he wanted to reserve more food and firewood for the family in a limited few days, so that his mother and sister could have a comfortable winter.
In particular, cut more large wood, usually when cooking some charcoal, pick it up and throw it in the yard to extinguish, and keep it for the winter to light a brazier in the house after drying.
And he also wants to help Pei Yao, a kind girl, as much as he can.
The three of them and one horse still walked up the hillside by the river, and this time the horse did not carry Jiajia, but two dozen bags of Li Mi.
It was Pei Yao who asked Aunt Chen to build a bridge and buy it from a neighbor, which was cheaper than going to the grain store, and there were horses to transport it, and everyone was happy.
Pei Yao actually can't eat much food in a winter, but Duoduo is getting bigger and bigger, and she eats more, and other cheap food is about the same price, so it's better to buy something that everyone can eat.
After arriving at Pei Yao's house, Chen Jiacheng unloaded the grain and moved it into the cave. Seeing that there was nothing for him to do at home, he carried a rattan basket and a machete on his back and went into the mountain alone.
He was going to go into the mountains to cut down some dead trees, drag them back to Pei Yao as firewood, and pick up everything he could eat by the way.
In this way, for a few days, the three of them went up the mountain and down the river as companions, walking dogs and chickens.
Chen Jiacheng also accompanied his two younger sisters up the mountain in the morning, and went home with things in the afternoon.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye it is time to return to the border city, Chen Jiacheng has repeatedly compressed the time of the return trip, if he does not leave, it will never be too late to reach the army within the specified time, in order not to receive the overtime military stick, he said goodbye to his mother in the early morning of one day, and rode back to the border city.
Before leaving, the little gangsters in the market who had already figured out the details were beaten up one by one when it was dark.
The next day, when a few gangsters met, they saw each other's noses and swollen faces, afraid of embarrassment, honest for several days, which really made the people on the set happy, and they all silently thanked the unknown hero, who played well!
And the little girl Jiajia went home and knew that her brother was gone, and she cried for a day, Pei Yao didn't coax her in any tricks, what a tear bag!
