Chapter 0227: Pearl
During the break, Ge Kailin didn't want to move, leaning on Wu Limei's arms and falling asleep.
is worthy of being a foodie, and in a hazy sleep, Ge Kailin remembered what her mother said about the dumplings, and her uncle's red face flashed in her mind, so she asked: "Mother, why does your uncle blush when you mention dumplings?" โ
Her tone was muttering, although her voice was not loud, Zhou Daquan also heard it, and said, "I got off the set yesterday, so I'm going to take a look, maybe I have rabbit meat to eat at night." โ
Get up and go.
Wu Licui came over and pinched Ge Kailin's nose: "Little people prefer to inquire about adults." โ
"Well, it hurts." At this time, Ge Kailin was completely sober.
"Auntie, I want to know too." Wu Yinwei came over.
Ge Kailin smiled and bent her eyes, it turned out that wood also had a gossip heart.
Wu Licui's face was full of happiness: "When I was fifteen years old, my family already had a lot of fields, and whenever I was busy with farming, I would temporarily hire some short-term laborers, and your eldest uncle would come every time. As the young lady of the main family, others will say a few good words when they see him, and my uncle is a tall man who can only scratch his head and smile, so I remember him when I first met.
When the work is finished, each person is given a new set of clothes and a meal. The food that day was fried by me personally, and after others received it, they were carefully taken home to share with their families, but your uncle ate it on the spot, because he ate it too quickly, he coughed, not to mention how wolf bรจi it was, hahahaha. โ
Wu Limei answered: "Seeing that your eldest uncle is not in a proper manner, your second uncle reprimanded him, and he did not honor his parents when he got the food, and gave it to his younger siblings to eat together, and he was a son of man in vain." Your uncle stopped coughing and said in a muffled voice, "My parents are dead, and I haven't eaten this delicacy for a long time." โ
"So, the aunt fell in love with pity, from admiration to love, and in the end, turned the good guy into her own family." Gordon speculated.
"Bang," she snapped in the head. Wu Licui scolded with a smile: "You little kid, you know everything." โ
In the low-lying place not far away, Zhou Daquan scratched his head with a smile and walked towards the place where he had been set up yesterday.
Gordale hadn't been summoned by the Sleeping God after all. imagined that he was biting on the crispy and fragrant dumplings and fell asleep in his mother's arms.
When I woke up, the smell of meat penetrated my nostrils, and I got up and slipped out of bed, casually putting my shoes on my feet. Stumbled and went outside.
She remembered that before she fell asleep, her uncle went to see if there was a hare, so the meat must be rabbit meat.
Usually the meals at home are decent, especially Ge Kailin's own food, even if there is game at home, in order not to stimulate the recurrence of blood tumors, Liu's mother is also very cautious, and she does not dare to put a lot of spices, safety is guaranteed, but there is less taste to eat.
Stumbled at the door, and then Ge Kailin came to her senses. That's when she realized it wasn't in her own home.
Because of her, the threshold of her house has been changed very low, especially the door where she often enters, and there is not even a threshold.
"Kailin, did you fall?"
Wu Limei felt something when her daughter woke up, and hurriedly got up from the room, but it was still a step too late, and Ge Kailin was already lying down on her back.
Ge Kailin smiled: "Mother, the ground at my aunt's house is not hard at all, I'm fine." โ
As he spoke, he got up.
The house was paved with bricks. The house is just mud and smoothed, and at most the clothes are dirty, where will it fall.
In the yard, Zhou Daquan was rubbing rabbit skin, and he had a gray one in his hand. There's also a white one next to it, rub it for a while, rub something on it, and rub it again.
Ge Kailin was curious: "Uncle, do you know how to nitrate?" โ
Zhou Daquan smiled: "My father and mother are no longer alive since I can remember, because I have been foolish since I was a child." No one wants to take them in, and I don't even know how to do these things myself. โ
The environment is persecuted, what else can it be, Ge Kailin said in her heart.
However, Ge Kailin didn't believe that Zhou Daquan was stupid, and it was more appropriate to describe it as wise and foolish.
My aunt is also unique, and she chose Zhou Daquan as her husband, not seeking to be rich and rich, but only loving harmony and happiness.
Following the smell of meat into the room, Ge Kailin laughed, there was something more gluttonous than herself.
Wu Yinwei sat on a small wooden pier, next to Wu Licui who was burning on the fire, sleeping sweetly, and in her sleep, her mouth clicked a few times from time to time, completely subverting the calm image when she was awake.
Ge Kailin was bored, and had the idea of playing a prank, and deliberately asked Wu Limei: "Mother, are the white rabbit's eyes red?" โ
"Hmm."
"I've heard that when a girl eats the flesh of a white rabbit, her eyes turn red, just like a white rabbit."
"Where did you hear that?"
"I don't remember, maybe I heard passers-by chatting."
In fact, it was the old man who had this saying when she was a child, the second brother didn't believe it, but he played a prank to scare her, she was really scared to eat white rabbit meat, and in the end, her mother ate a few pieces to prove it to her, and she dared to eat it.
"It's okay, your mother and I have eaten a lot of game, and I haven't seen my eyes turn red."
"But I've heard that only girls between the ages of eight and twelve do."
Wu Yinwei suddenly sat up straight and asked, "Kailin, is what you said true?" โ
Ge Kailin nodded solemnly: "Well, I heard people say that. โ
Wu Yinwei was anxious: "Oh, what can I do, two rabbits are mixed together, how can I tell which one is the white rabbit." โ
"Giggles," seeing that Wu Yinwei was so easy to fall for the trick, Ge Kailin laughed.
"Haha, hahahaha." Wu Licui and Wu Limei couldn't help laughing.
Wu Yinwei had just woken up, her eyes were bloodshot, and they were even more red under the firelight, but they really looked like the red eyes of a white rabbit.
Only then did Wu Yinwei know that she had been fooled, and she got up and got up to arm Ge Kailin, and the two made a mess.
The next day, Zhou Daquan did not go to the town to buy meat, but was pestered by Ge Kailin to go to the river to play, catch fish, circle shrimp, touch mussels, clip crabs, fish for yellow eels, block loaches, and have a lot of fun, and even found a nest of wild duck eggs not far away.
Of course, Ge Kailin can't forget to pull Wu Yinwei.
Don't look at the river is not deep, but the river mussels are not small, and a few are as big as Zhou Daquan's palms.
Ge Kailin played a lot, holding a river mussel and resting on the flat place of the river dam to play with the spinning top, shouting to compete with Wu Yinwei to see whose river mussel rotated for a long time and fast.
In the end, it ended with her complete defeat.
When the two of them became like clay figures, the sun was almost above their heads, Zhou Daquan was carrying a string of small fish baskets, Wu Yinwei was holding Ge Kailin, one big and two small were laughing all the way back.
"Mother. I came back, and my uncle said to make something delicious today. โ
"Shhhh
As soon as she entered the courtyard gate, Ge Kailin shouted excitedly. Wu Licui walked out of the house a few steps, waved her hand and whispered to stop Ge Kailin.
My mother usually gets up at dawn, how can I sleep so much today, Ge Kailin asked: "Auntie, is my mother unhappy?" โ
Wu Licui shook her head: "Your mother is too tired." Don't make noise with your mother, let your mother wake up naturally, do you understand? โ
"yes, I know." Ge Kailin said distressedly.
The mother has to manage a large family, but also to manage the cloth shop, the dress, the grain store, to assist the father's business, no matter how busy, the mother will not relax the education of several children, there are a total of seven children in the family, and the relationship has to be carefully managed.
Arrived at my aunt's place. The aunt and the mother are comparable to the mother and daughter, and the mother's heart is completely relaxed, so she has been asleep, which is understandable.
Ge Kailin was a little frustrated: "If I don't drag my mother down, my mother won't be so tired, auntie, am I useless?" โ
Wu Licui sighed: "Why did you mention this again, you are still young, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, but." If you always think that you are useless, not only you, but also the people around you will not be happy.
Look at my aunt, I can't write as well as your mother. Wu is not as good as your second uncle, I am not as good as your aunt in housework, and I am not as good as your uncle in farming. I can't be angry with myself all day long, if this is the case, how can your aunt and I still have a life, and how can the people around my aunt still have fun? โ
"Kailin, my uncle has your aunt to live a meaningful life," Zhou Daquan interjected: "Your mother has your aunt, so she can relax and sleep for a long time, and everyone will not be useless." Kailin, you were in a coma for three days, and how did your mother come over at that time, do you know, if you really didn't wake up, what would happen to your father, not everything is outstanding and is a useful person, understand? โ
What happens if you don't wake up after three days? Ge Kailin was shocked in her heart and didn't dare to think about it.
What's wrong with you, reincarnated as a human being, didn't you swear not to let your mother worry about you anymore, how did you get into the horns, no matter what happens in the future, even if you are useless, as long as you are happy and alive, you are a useful person.
Thinking of this, Ge Kailin smiled and said: "Auntie, who said that the eldest uncle is not good at words, how do I think the eldest uncle is quite able to speak, there is a saying that people should not be good-looking, is it like the eldest uncle?" โ
Wu Licui laughed: "I was worried about you just now, and I didn't take your uncle to make fun of it in a while, be careful that there is no delicious food to eat." โ
"How so?" Ge Kailin looked determined: "The eldest uncle is a man, and a man speaks with a good word, how can he bully me as a child." โ
Seeing that Ge Kailin began to play cheeky kung fu, Wu Licui was relieved, and laughed a few more words, Ge Kailin and Wu Yinwei followed Zhou Daquan to serve the pile of aquatic products,
Oh, to be exact, it was to watch Zhou Daquan tease, Wu Yinwei did her best, and Ge Kailin was swallowing saliva on the side.
When Wu Licui returned to the house, she saw Wu Limei sitting on the bed thoughtfully.
"Awake?"
"Kailin woke up when I entered the hospital, thank you, sister."
"Thank me for what to do, don't say that Kailin is only five years old, even an eighty-year-old man, and there are times when she drills the horns of the bull, fortunately Kailin is smart, so she doesn't need to talk too much."
"It's too smart to be worried, and I'd rather Kailin be like a child, who only knows how to have fun."
"Are you content, if you weren't too smart when you were young, how could your mother be like a child, just thinking about playing?"
Here the two sisters were talking and laughing, and in the room, the three heads were together, staring at the big river mussel that had just been opened.
It was the river mussel that was used as a spinning top by Ge Kailin to compete with Wu Yinwei, and the three pearls in it were strangely shaped.
Zhou Daquan picked out the pearls, rinsed them, and put them in a small bowl.
The three pearls are all human-shaped, one large and two small.
The large black and purple body, the whole body is shiny, the shape is like kneeling, the two small ones are pink in color, and the hands are clasped around the chest, like fear.
"Uncle, have you ever seen a pearl like this?"
"Nope."
"Uncle, how did the pearl grow like this?"
"I don't know."
"Amitabha."
The three of them were studying the rise of the house, a Buddha horn in the courtyard, listening to the familiar voice, Ge Kailin was curious out of the room, and immediately overjoyed: "Old monk, why are you here, do you smell delicious?" โ
"Sixth Miss, the old monk smelled that there are three pearls here, so let's take a look."
Well? How can you be so serious.
Wu Limei and Wu Licui have gone out of the house together to greet them: "The master has always been good? โ
"Limei, why did you take Kailin away and make my old monk alone."
Just now, his face was unfathomable, and this face changed when he said it, but now he looks like a puppy that has been discarded.
Ge Kailin laughed: "Old monk, don't say it so pitifully, my aunt will make fried dumplings later, and let you eat a round belly today, then you don't have to rush to cough." โ
"Ahem, ahem." Behind him, Zhou Daquan coughed to himself for no reason.
On the other side, Wu Licui and Wu Limei shook their heads amusedly.
"Haha, I naturally won't let go of the food, take the pearls to the old monk first." The old monk is restored to the high and deep form.
Zhou Daquan took out the small bowl, and the old monk glanced at it, and quickly put the pearl into the cloth bag he carried.
Ge Kailin was anxious: "Hey, old monk, robbing children's playthings is not a gentleman's doing." โ
Wu Limei scolded: "Kailin, don't be rude." โ
"Amitabha, Sixth Miss, the shape of this pearl is not ordinary, I will take it back and study it carefully, old monk, and I will return it."
With Ge Kailin's familiarity with the old monk, when the old monk is joking and when he is serious, she can divide the ** without leaving ten, and seeing that the old monk is really serious, she nodded and agreed.
Wu Yinwei begged Zhou Daquan to dissect the river mussel she was playing with, and there was also a pearl the size of a thumb in it, which was all black.
The old monk carefully instructed Wu Yinwei that this pearl is precious, and it must not be exposed when it is not a last resort.
There are also pearls in the remaining mussels, but they are all small and ordinary.
The staple food for lunch is steamed dumplings, and it takes a lot of effort to make steamed dumplings, and when she gets up early in the morning, Wu Licui begins to prepare, and now she has just stopped and prepared to fry it.
Over the years, Zhou Daquan has cooperated with his daughter-in-law tacitly, not only can he do it himself, but also has just the right grasp of the heat.
The dumplings were crispy and fragrant, and the old monk rushed to eat them with Ge Kailin as usual, and the two of them ate with oily faces.
Wu Yinwei was dumbfounded, Wu Limei laughed and shouted, if you don't eat again, there will be no scum left, Wu Yinwei came back to her senses and joined the eating camp, and the other three laughed.
In the next few days, the old monk actually lived in Wu Licui's house, leading Ge Kailin and Wu Yinwei to play crazy all over the mountains every day, Wu Yinwei also forgot the original intention of coming here, no longer mentioned learning to farm, and only thought about playing every day.
Wu Limei couldn't rest assured that her husband and son, and a bunch of big and small things, when she lived for ten days, she discussed with Wu Licui to return home the next day, and the old monk made an appointment to go with her, but Wu Yinwei insisted on staying. (To be continued.) )
