Chapter 17: Grandma Appears
After the mention of Han Chuxue, Han Daddy and his wife remembered.
It's been almost a day since Erya came back, and they didn't tell Han Xiucai and his wife.
It was a major matter related to the little girl's "recognizing her ancestors and returning to her ancestors", and Daddy Han was immediately anxious, "Dazhu, go back to me to find your grandmother." ”
Dazhu was a little difficult, "Dad, my little sister said that your legs can't move." ”
Daddy Han's eyes widened and he wanted to scold him, but Xiuniang had already walked in and glared at him with disgust, "The kid is right, who are you glaring at?" ”
Seeing that Daddy Han, who was still full of momentum just now, snorted, his momentum was fully discharged, and he drooped his head and said, "I didn't stare at anyone." ”
The corners of Xiuniang's mouth twitched suspiciously, but she soon returned to normal, and said in a very positive manner, "Don't go if your legs are inconvenient, I'll take Erya to see my father." ”
Seeing Daddy Han puff up his chest as if he wanted to refute, her eyes turned red, "If your leg really can't be cured, what should you do if you call us a big family." ”
So he snorted again, and Daddy Han was deflated again.
In the end, in the confrontation between father and mother, Xiuniang won completely, and went out with Han Chuxue, who needed to "recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors", and the big pillar responsible for carrying the basket, as for a donkey who wanted to follow, he was given in place by Han Chuxue's eye knife.
Because Xiuniang was weak, the Han Chuxue brothers and sisters deliberately slowed down their pace, and slowly walked towards Han Xiucai's house at a leisurely pace.
Coming out of the Han family, it is a yellow mud road that is not wide, and the road is narrower without going far, because one side of the road is a field, that is, the five acres of dry land of the Han family, and the other side is also a field that is six or seven meters lower.
Han Chuxue, an idiot in farming, thought a little complacently.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I saw other people's houses, which means that the Han family was more than ten minutes away from other residents in the village.
Han Chuxue didn't feel a little strange, even if she hadn't stayed in the countryside before, but she had always seen it on TV, shouldn't the countryside be adjacent to each other, and chickens and dogs smell each other?
"Big brother, why is our family so far away from the village?"
From a distance, there are not a lot of residents in Tang Village, how can they be so far away from their own home, is it possible that it is just like what those farming texts said, because grandparents are eccentric, so when they split the family, they were treated harshly in this house, and they were given a homestead that I don't know where it is?
Da Zhu seemed to remember something angry, and snorted twice, "It was Li Zheng who deliberately embarrassed our family, so he assigned us to the wasteland far away from the Guangyuan River." ”
Xiuniang, who was walking in front, also seemed to remember the unhappy thing, and sighed lowly, but didn't say much.
Han Chuxue frowned her beautiful eyebrows, there was a river on the other side of the low field, I think it was the Guangyuan River in the mouth of the big pillar, the productivity of the ancient countryside was not high, and the irrigation except for the rain was all dependent on the river water, and that Li was deliberately dividing the Han family to a place far away from the water source, which was an obvious retaliation.
Looking at the reaction of my mother and eldest brother, there must be something in this, I have to figure it out and solve it one by one.
During the conversation, they entered the settlement of the villagers of Xiatang Village, because it was dinner time, the countryside was full of smoke, and there was no one to see on the road.
Compared with the half-human high and low courtyard walls seen along the way, Han Xiucai's house is obviously of a higher grade.
The courtyard wall that is more than one person high, a large sturdy wooden door, and a tiled roof that rises above the courtyard wall all show that this farmer's situation is good.
There is a clear contrast with the dilapidated Han family, which makes Han Chuxue frown slightly.
"Big brother, grandma's family looks pretty good."
Dazhu nodded, "Ye is a Xiucai who doesn't have to pay taxes, and he can get two buckets of rice every month when he teaches at the township school." ”
There is no need to pay taxes, that is to say, how much the production of the mouth is their own, as mentioned before, one acre of land with good soil quality can produce more than two stones, and like Dazhu, who will eat the half size of the poor girl, it is only three liters of rice a day, and those who do less work like Xiuniang and Da Ya will be more than one liter, and Han Xiu is a scholar, and the amount of food that wants to come can not exceed the big girl who does housework every day, and the yield of one mu is enough for him to eat more than 200 days, plus two buckets of rice every month, this grandma's food is very surplus.
After quickly counting in his heart, Han Chuxue's brows tightened, "In this way, grandma should have more food, why don't we come to grandma to borrow it?" ”
Dazhu kept a calm face, pursed his lips and did not answer.
At this time, there were also footsteps in the courtyard, and I heard Xiuniang calling the door and answered the door.
An old woman's voice rang out from inside the courtyard door, "Who is it?" ”
"Mother, it's me, Yongbai's daughter-in-law."
"What are you here for?"
When he asked this, not only did Han Chuxue frown, but even Xiuniang and Dazhu's faces were not very good-looking.
"Milk, dad asked us to bring a bowl of chicken."
With the words of the big pillar, the gate of the courtyard that had been closed finally opened, and an old woman with oily hair in a bun, a silver flute, dressed in green clothes, and a small short skirt with a flower cloth with a stern expression appeared.
This is Grandma Xiucai.
Seeing that the person standing outside the door was really Xiuniang, and Dazhu was indeed holding a basket in his hand, Grandma Xiucai's face was slightly better, "Why did you come here at this hour, come in." ”
It's dinner time now, and she thinks that Xiuniang is here to eat.
Xiuniang didn't hesitate to respond, pulled up the cold snow and followed her into the yard, and Dazhu was responsible for closing the door and wrapping the tail.
The cold snow swept around quickly, the house is still an adobe house, but it is built with a tile roof, which is more upscale than the thatched house, in addition to the main house, there are also wings, a kitchen, and a grass shed is built on the right side near the courtyard door, but it is not like the Han family to put sundries, but to raise a pig, that is to say, this is a pigsty, and there is a small shed next to the pigsty, which is a chicken coop.
According to the previous farming texts, this grandmother's family is still a wealthy family in the countryside.
In the observation room, Xiuniang had already dragged her into the main house, the layout of this house was somewhat similar to the Han family, but the layout was obviously more upscale.
As soon as I entered the house, there was a middle hall hanging on the front wall, with a big filial piety written on it, no wonder there would be a filial son like Han's father, but I don't know if the other two also recognize this filial piety.
There are two chairs under the middle hall, and there is also a table of eight immortals in the middle, and an old literati dressed in a gray and white straight jacket, wearing a scarf, wearing cloth shoes on his feet, and holding a scroll in his hand is sitting on the chair on the left.
Xiuniang and Dazhu were busy saluting and calling Daddy and Grandpa respectively.
Han Xiucai's literati snorted fully, but his eyes looked at Han Chuxue, "Who is this little baby?" ”
