CHAPTER XLII
When he returned to the courtyard of Fang's house, he saw the blood stains on Shi Lei's back, Qingshu and Guoguo were both scolded by Liang's family, and Liang left Shi Lei down to eat, Shi Lei didn't want to stay, but Liang said that he wanted to take Fang Yuqian's clothes and change them for him to wear, and asked him to replace this one on his body: "How can you go back like this?" ”
Although there is nothing to do, it is the same reason when you think about it, and besides, Guoguo is still watching his pheasant, so he will accept it. *With *dream* small* said wwwlā Guoguo Ben was scolded with a face full of grievances, and when he saw Shi Lei willing to stay for dinner, he was naturally very happy: "Brother Shi, why don't I make chestnut chicken for you to taste?" ”
As soon as they saw her flattering appearance, the Fang family felt embarrassed, and the Liang family hurriedly scolded her: "Guoguo, what is it like!" ”
"Mother, let's eat a little, and leave a little for Brother Shi to take back for Uncle Shi and Aunt Shi to taste, this chestnut chicken is delicious." Guoguo looked flattering.
Liang reluctantly stretched out his hand and touched her forehead: "I know how to ask for other people's things." ”
"Why is Brother Shi's family someone else's, Brother Shi is happy, right, Brother Shi?" Guoguo smiled and went over to the kitchen with the pheasant, hehe, Cao'er is a good hand at killing chickens, so she doesn't worry about no one killing her. Dinner was naturally Guoguo's palm, and those small wounds on her hands had healed early. Soon, dinner was ready. Smelling the fragrance, Shi Lei suddenly realized in his heart that staying to eat was a very smart decision.
Chestnut chicken is the highlight, but the chestnuts that have been cut and cooked with a little salt have already made everyone praise, and the chestnut fried bacon is also delicious, and even the grass with the most delicate mouth is rare to praise Guoguo's cooking skills: "Next time Guoguo can stir-fry while burning the fire." ”
Hearing this, Guoguo's hand holding the bowl trembled, and then looked at Cao'er calmly: "Eldest sister, is this hoping that I will burn down the kitchen?" ”
The atmosphere on the table was even more joyful. Since the chestnuts are so delicious and easy to store, Cao'er decided to go into the mountains with them to pick them up the next day.
Shi Lei is undeniable.
Liang and Fang Yuqian were left to a few children.
The next morning, Liang got up to make cakes, and Cao'er also changed into tight clothes and pants this time, and learned to tie the calves of Guoguo, which is quite capable of a martial arts practitioner. Guoguo whistled at the grass, like a swinger: "Eh, which little lady is this, so handsome?" ”
Cao'er blushed to the root of her ears, and reached out to twist her waist: "You will make fun of me, I don't learn well at a young age." ”
"Yo, I'm young, sister, you should always find a brother-in-law, right?" Guoguo laughed while hiding, "Which kid is blessed to marry my sister?" ”
Cao'er's face turned redder, and she reached out to grab it more quickly. Qingshu looked at it speechlessly, feeling helpless: "Two sisters, do you still want to go?" ”
"What's the hurry, Brother Shi hasn't come yet!" Guoguo quickly hid in the kitchen while brushing away the grass's hand, "I'll go to my mother." ”
Liang had just baked the cake: "It's time to wash your face and have breakfast." There is warm water in the pot. ”
"Mother, we don't want the chestnuts that Brother Shi picked up today, you can make him a few more cakes, we can't take advantage of him." Guoguo said as he scooped up water.
Cao'er also came in, and the blush on her face did not dissipate: "Yo, you still know that you have taken advantage of others!" ”
"Go and go, and you will know that it will hurt me." Guoguo said angrily.
"Yesterday's chestnuts should be divided into half of the people's houses, and I don't know who carried them back." Cao'er also helped, but her mouth didn't stop.
"He didn't know how to eat it when he gave it to him yesterday." Guoguo said calmly, "If it weren't for me, it would be useless for him to pick it up, so let's take yesterday's as a reward." "Guoguo is not soft at all.
"Sister, let's hurry up, how much can we pick up, and if the people in the village know, then we won't have our share." As she spoke, Guoguo carried water and went out of the door to wash.
Liang sighed, put down the spoon in his hand, and said to Guoguo's back, "You kid is thoughtful. However, it is good to let the people in the village know, and it is difficult for the village. ”
"Mother, it's difficult for them, aren't we difficult? How much can you help in these poor years? Cao'er said hatefully, Liang and Fang Yuqian are soft-hearted, but it doesn't mean that several children are soft-hearted.
"That's it, mother, our family can't eat, so we can give it to grandma." Aoki replied in the courtyard.
Liang burst out laughing: "I know, you are sensible." I don't know how my mother's family has been doing recently, but she is starting to remember it again.
Shi Lei came soon, and this time he also carried a big basket.
Although there is more grass, but everyone's action has not improved much, after all, most of the time the grass is still raised as a lady's show, so although it is not heavy to go into the mountains to pick up chestnuts, but walking far away from the mountain road, she is also tired.
By the time Liang had made lunch at noon, they had already returned, and each man's basket was full of chestnuts. Shi Lei didn't stay to eat this time, and Guoguo told him about the drying method carefully. Liang took advantage of this gap and stuffed several cakes into his back basket: "Please take a few of them in, or I won't be at ease." Shi Lei couldn't refuse, so he could only carry it home.
After having lunch in the afternoon, resting for a while, and preparing to go again, Guoguo found that several people in the village also carried backpacks into the mountain.
Guoguo watched everyone hurrying to the mountain with some doubts, and had a bad premonition in his heart. This chestnut won't be known, right? Not so fast, huh? And how do you know?
But they couldn't believe it, and the further they walked on that mountain, the more people they found. When everyone saw them, they all bowed their heads and didn't speak, and hurried away, just pointing from afar.
"Eh, Guoguo, you're here." The fifth grandmother popped up from under a big tree, "I heard that the hard fruit can be eaten, you found it first, you can help me see, is it like this?" As he spoke, he dragged the basket to Guoguo, grabbed a handful of the fruit inside, and let Guoguo identify it.
At a glance of the fruit, there are chestnuts and tea trees. Because they are all brown hard-shelled nuts, and even the shape is somewhat similar, so the fifth grandmother mixed them.
Guoguo was a little helpless, she was still thinking that her family had secretly picked up more before telling the village, but now that she was found out like this, it was not embarrassing or embarrassing, it was somewhat unpleasant.
Although the people next to him did not come around, they all listened to the situation here with their ears open. This fruit can recognize herbs, maybe, she knows all these plants!
"Fifth grandma, this is a tea seed, chopped to make a tea cake, it's good to boil water and wash your hair, this is a chestnut, you can cook it directly or dry it and save it first." Guoguo held the tea seed in one hand and the chestnut in the other, "If you look at these two carefully, there is a big difference." Guoguo didn't lower her voice, and at first she stepped forward embarrassedly, but she also surrounded her: "Guoguo, can you help me see if mine is edible?" ”
"Aoki, take a look too!"
"Cao'er, will you read it? Can I eat these? ”
