Chapter Twenty-Six: See the Old Man Again
This winter, I was going to make a new padded jacket for Qian Manxia. Qian Manxia has grown fast in the past two years, and the padded jacket has long been short, and it has been taken year after year. This year is not only shorter, but also thin. The little girl is the age of beauty, and every time she sees Qian Mandie making new clothes, she is envious.
Before, the Wu family made a wish to make a new one for her, but now that she has that money, she has to say to the little girl apologetically, "Aunt Xia, let your sister-in-law tear down the old jacket and fatten it more." ”
Qian Manxia nodded sensibly and said, "Okay." My sister-in-law is skillful, and the old jacket she changed looks good to wear. ”
Qian Yijin said on the side, "Milk, give my cotton to my aunt." I'm a boy, and I can't help but wear new clothes. "In addition to eating, other things Xiao Zhengtai has the consciousness of putting others before himself.
Yesterday, Mrs. Qian came over and said that Qian Yijin's cotton jacket and cotton pants were short, so she went to the town to buy a pound of cotton and a few feet of coarse cloth, and asked Cheng Yue to make him a set of cotton clothes and cotton pants.
Wu didn't dare to transfer the special cotton to Qian Manxia. Usually, the old lady secretly gave Qian Sangui and Qian Yijin food to eat, and also prevented the Wu family from giving Qian Yixiu and Qian Manxia food, and the words were beating. If this superficial thing is misappropriated, can it be returned?
However, dismantle Qian Yijin's original cotton jacket, draw some cotton for Qian Manxia to add, and the rest can be embroidered and changed for Qian Yixia.
Wu folded his fingers and counted the money, and the winter still passed with difficulty. The family is looking forward to the winter wheat harvest, and the family will be better.
Nowadays, the family can't even feed people, not only does Qian Yijin have more time to go to the village to eat, but even the time to go into the mountains is more than in previous years.
In addition, there is another idler in the west of the village. They would take advantage of Dashan and Qian Yijin's absence to come to the courtyard to learn how to bark dogs and frogs, and say a few nonsense words, but they still didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary in broad daylight.
Although the mountains will go into the mountains every once in a while to find food, they will always go home before dark. And these people are also afraid of Qian Yijin, don't look at him as a child, his fierce frame is not inferior to his family's "big dog".
Once, Fan Erhezi and the nymphomaniac saw that the mountain had entered the mountain, so they came to his house to learn frog barking together. was hit by a stone thrown from the yard, and with the sound of cursing, Qian Yijin ran out with a woodcutter. Looking at his bloodshot eyes and the cold light of the woodcutter, the two big men were also so frightened that they ran away.
Spring is coming, flowers are blooming, and several members of the Qian family have also come out of their sad moods. It's just that Qian Sangui's body is still very bad, and he can't get up from bed, but it's a miracle that he can survive the harsh winter.
In the early morning of the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, except for Qian Sangui, who was still resting in the house, several other people were eating breakfast in the hall. Breakfast was corn paste, but with two more hard-boiled eggs.
Wu handed over the eggs and said to the two children with a smile, "Today is your sixth birthday. In a blink of an eye, our brocade baby and embroidery are so big. ”
The two children had been waiting for this day for a long time, holding the eggs and smiling so much that they couldn't see their teeth, Qian Yijin said loudly, "Thank you, grandma." ”
Qian Yixiu also whispered, "Thank you, milk." ”
"What else?" Cheng Yue was afraid that they had forgotten about themselves, so she hurriedly asked.
"Thank you, mother." The two children said again.
Qian Yijin monkey hurriedly peeled the eggshell and ate the egg in his stomach in three bites. Then, two more bowls of porridge were drunk.
Qian Yixiu put the eggs in her purse and said glutinously, "I'll eat it when Xiu'er is hungry." Then, I ate only half a bowl of porridge.
After eating, Wu went to the ground. Since the beginning of spring, the grass in the field has grown wildly, and she has gone to hoe the grass.
The mountain also ran out. The number of animals in the mountains began to increase, and it would go into the mountains almost every day to find food.
After Qian Manxia washed the dishes and washed her clothes, she had to go up the mountain to collect firewood. Usually she goes by herself, but because she picked up a lot of dry firewood yesterday and hid a bundle in the bushes, she asked Qian Yijin to help her get it.
Qian Yijin is tall and strong, and has always regarded himself as a little adult. When I heard that I was going to work as a laborer for my little aunt, I nodded happily.
Before leaving, he still held his small chest and instructed Qian Yixiu, "Sister, after we leave, you have to close the door tightly, don't open the door when others knock, and want to go out to play and wait for my brother to come back and take you." Remember to take good care of your mother, a beautiful woman like her mother can't be let people look at her at will. ”
Qian Yixiu listened to his brother's order, and replied busily, "Okay." ”
Qian Yijin said with satisfaction, "My sister is so good, my brother will come back and pull a few beautiful big flowers for you." ”
Qian who squatted in the corner of the wall also embroidered his belly and slandered, the little fart child is not old, and the shelf is not small. Not only did he crush Qian Yixiu, but he was even more sophisticated, and he threw Qian Yixiu, who was some of the relatives of the White Lotus, off a Chang'an Avenue.
Qian Manxia laughed, nodded at Qian Yijin's head and said, "Little ghost, you're fine." ”
After they left, Qian Yixiu went to close the courtyard door. The moment the courtyard door closed, Cheng Yue suddenly caught a glimpse of a cluster of bright red outside the door, those few flowers didn't have it yesterday, but they suddenly grew today. He said, "The flowers are beautiful." ”
Qian Yixiu closed the door, stood on the small stool and plugged in the door again. I came over and took Cheng Yue's hand and said, "The flowers in the yard are also beautiful, my mother looks at the flowers in the yard." ”
At this time, the flowering period of the peach blossoms has passed, and some green peaches smaller than the belly of the fingers have grown on the branches. These peaches cannot be eaten even if they are ripe, they are sour and astringent.
Because Cheng Yue likes to look at flowers, two years ago, Wu specially planted a few roses under the courtyard wall. Now a small section of the courtyard wall is crawling with lush rose vines, and countless flower bones have emerged, and a few flowers have bloomed here and there.
Cheng Yue glanced at the peach tree and rose vine a few times, then turned to the door and said, "What Brother Jiang said is to look at the flowers outside the door." ”
Qian Yixiu took out the eggs and coaxed her in an adult's tone, "Mother, be good, if you are well-behaved, you will have eggs to eat." ”
Cheng Yue knew that only people who had birthdays could eat eggs, shook her head and said, "Jin'er is greedy, my mother is not greedy, and she can't eat Xiu'er's eggs." With that, he sat down sullenly on a small stool.
Qian Yixiu was soft-hearted, and she couldn't bear to see her mother's wronged appearance, and she couldn't bear to see her mother sitting there with her mouth pouting. Hesitantly said, "Then the mother only looks at it for a while, okay?" ”
Cheng Yue hurriedly said, "Okay, mother," paused, and then said, "Xiu'er is also well-behaved." ”
Qian Yixiu stood on the small stool again and opened the deadbolt. The two of them opened the door a crack and stood in the courtyard, their heads sticking out of the door to look at the flowers.
At this time, the sun was already a little roasted, and Qian Yixiu hid in the corner and listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter. After a while, the voice of a man was heard, and after another, the sound of several people leaving the courtyard was heard.
Qian Yixiu couldn't help but be a little worried, Cheng Yue had never been out, where did this go? Who took it out?
Except for the chirping of birds in the trees, the courtyard fell silent again.
When Qian Yixiu was uncertain, he saw the long-lost bull head and horse face coming, and there was a sign with "Zero Zero Seven" written on his neck. It was the pair of cows and horses that hooked themselves at the beginning.
