Although they are going to break up, they still have to live as usual. Early the next morning, Zhao Yongzhong and Zhao Yongxiao still went to the town to find work, while the Zhao Sanlang brothers followed Mr. Zhao to the field, while the Jiang family and Zhao Sanniang sisters stayed at home to take care of the housework.

I don't know if I was taught a lesson by Old Man Zhao last night, Zhao Qiao's didn't make any moths today, but after lunch, they went to the mountains to dig two baskets of wild vegetables and came back.

There are several hills in the east of the village, and anyone in the village who does not have enough firewood will go to the mountains to pick it up. Today, Zhao Sanniang and the sisters are digging wild vegetables there.

Zhao Sanniang buried her head in digging for nearly an hour, the basket could no longer be filled, and when she turned around to look for Zhao Siniang, she saw that her basket was also half full, and she couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Heart: Since my sister fell seriously ill, people have become more sensible, she used to dig at most two trees, and then walked all over the mountain, leaving an empty basket for her to dig, it is rare that she can calm down and work today. Seeing my sister squatting on the ground and working hard, I feel like my sister has just grown up, and I am very gratified.

But when Zhao Sanniang got closer, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, half of the basket was filled with unknown weeds. Seeing my sister's thin figure busy in the field, it's not good to count her down as usual.

Zhao Sanniang took a deep breath, snatched the shovel from Zhao Siniang's hand, and tried her best to persuade in what she thought was a soft tone: "Siniang, you are also tired, go to the side and rest for a while!" ”

Zhao Siniang looked up and saw her sister's tangled expression, knowing that she was probably digging by mistake.

I wanted to follow Zhao Sanniang to learn to distinguish wild vegetables, so as not to make mistakes next time. couldn't resist Zhao Sanniang's repeated urging, and when she saw her, she almost didn't say that the pestle was in the way here, so she could only flash to the side.

At this time, Zhao Siniang saw a few wild bees flying in front of her, and she didn't know what she thought, so she said to Zhao Sanniang: "Sister, I have something to do, come back later." After saying that, he ran away.

When Zhao Sanniang raised her head, she no longer saw Zhao Siniang's figure, sighed, buried her head and continued to dig wild vegetables.

Zhao Siniang did not go to the mountain, but went down the mountain directly to return home. However, instead of entering directly through the main entrance, she went around to the northwest corner and crept in through the back door.

After Zhao Siniang got what she wanted from home, she was still ready to go out through the back door next to the stove. Suddenly, I heard Zhao Qiaoshi scolding loudly in the stove room: "Don't hurry up and serve tea!" The distinguished guests have been coming to the door for a long time, and they don't know how to greet them! You only know what I'm a mother-in-law to do, you're a wooden man, right? I only heard Song's repeated promises. Zhao Qiaoshi scolded again: "You stupid mother-in-law, what kind of tea are you getting?" Entertaining guests has to be carried in a porcelain jar! ”

Zhao Siniang thought to herself, what kind of great guest is here, so that Zhao Qiao's family can go to such great lengths to greet him? Even if the second room comes back, I have the impression that Zhao Qiao's family will not make a big deal of fanfare for them?

Zhao Siniang was worried about picking up the things left by her predecessor, so she didn't have the heart to find out who this distinguished guest was, so she went back to the mountain.

However, if Zhao Siniang knew that this noble guest's bad idea would make her family almost leave the house, she would definitely regret that she didn't stay and continue to eavesdrop.

said that Zhao Sanniang on the mountain dug up the second basket of wild vegetables, looked up at the sun, and it was time to go back to help make dinner. It can be seen that Zhao Siniang has not come back yet, so she has to be patient and go all over the mountain to find her.

After looking for a while, I saw Zhao Siniang squatting on the ground in the depths of the forest, not knowing what to do. Zhao Siniang heard the sound, turned around and saw that it was Zhao Sanniang, and hurriedly beckoned her over.

"It's ...... You poked it down? Zhao Sanniang found that Zhao Siniang was squatting on the ground to clean up the hornet's nest, and was startled, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Siniang up to check it from beginning to end, and found that Zhao Siniang was not stung, so she breathed a sigh of relief. But Zhao Sanniang still couldn't help but scold: "You dare to stab the hornet's nest!" Do you know how much it hurts to be stung by a wasp? I've heard of someone in a neighboring village who was stung by a wasp and died! After that, I felt angry, and gently slapped Zhao Siniang's little buttocks twice. After thinking about it again, I felt that if I patted it gently, Zhao Siniang, the bear child, did not have a long memory, so she hit it twice again, and said: "Let's see if you dare to find death in the future!" ”

Zhao Siniang hurriedly covered her little buttocks with both hands, jumped out, and argued: "I didn't poke this hornet's nest down, I wronged you......"

Although Zhao Siniang's grandfather raised hundreds of boxes of bees in her previous life, she knew the habits of bees well, but she really didn't have the courage to poke the hornet's nest! I remember that I was accidentally stung by a wasp in my previous life, and it hurt terribly at the time, and then I had a fever for three days, and I almost couldn't save it, so that she saw the wasp walking around it from a distance.

The hornet's nest she is cleaning up now is actually poked down by Zhao Siniang's predecessor. That day, the predecessor fell into the pond because he stabbed the hornet's nest and was chased by the hornet. Speaking of which, the original body had a three-day fever because of a wasp like herself, but she was not as lucky as herself and gave away her life.

But now is not the time for Zhao Siniang to be happy, I saw Zhao Sanniang's willow eyebrows upside down, looking like she wanted to beat her hard, and hurriedly said: "I was wrong!" Good sister, I don't dare anymore! Just spare me this time! ”

Zhao Siniang was not really frightened by Zhao Sanniang's momentum, but recalled that after she was stung by a wasp in her previous life, her mother mistakenly thought that she was going to poke the hornet's nest, and she also looked like she wanted to beat her. I remember that at that time, my mother was drugged for her with tears in her eyes, and scolded her for deserving it. Later, she developed a high fever, and her mother took care of her for three days without sleep before she pulled herself back from the ghost gate. Thinking of this, her nose couldn't help but sour.

Zhao Sanniang saw her sister's appearance of wanting to cry or not, her heart softened, but she still felt that she couldn't be tolerated. After Zhao Siniang swore to never do such a stupid thing again, she reluctantly let her go.

"Forget it, what are you still messing with?" Zhao Sanniang saw Zhao Siniang squatting on the ground again to pick up the honeycomb, and couldn't help asking.

"Clean it up and take it to the town to see if the pharmacy collects it, maybe it can be exchanged for a few dollars." Zhao Siniang thought to herself, the hive can be used in medicine, and it should be accepted in the pharmacy, right? In fact, she is very afraid of the hornet, although the honeycomb has been falling for a few days, and she didn't see a hornet when she came, but she was still afraid that there would be a hornet flying over and sting her, maybe her little life would be confessed. But the family owed so much money for her, she really had a troubled conscience, so she had to give up her life.

Zhao Sanniang looked at Zhao Siniang with a complicated expression, and then squatted down to help Zhao Siniang clean up, and Zhao Siniang, who was busy, didn't notice that her sister's eyes were full of tears.

It took the sisters half a day to clean up the honeycomb, and put it in a sack to hide it in a hidden cave in the mountain, together with the honey they had collected and sealed in the jar.

To say that this small cave is so hidden, ordinary people can't find it, this is still Zhao Siniang's predecessor found when he was wandering around the mountain, and he found it by relying on the memory of his predecessor.

The two sisters rushed home with baskets, saw a mule cart parked at the door, and recognized it as Zhao Yongnian's car. The two sisters glanced at each other and thought in unison, Zhao Yongnian is back, so they can separate today. I was excited and apprehensive.

Jiang, who was washing vegetables in the yard, saw them come back and said, "Why are you only coming back now?" There are a lot of guests in the house, come and help. ”

The sisters hurriedly agreed, squatting down to help Jiang choose vegetables.

"Mother, I saw that the second uncle's car was parked outside, did I come back to discuss the separation?" Zhao Sanniang asked with sparkling eyes.

"Yes, your second uncle has been back for a long time, and he has been discussing with your father in the upper room. Later, your father and fourth uncle also came back, so you asked your brother to invite Li Zheng and a few respected old people in the village back, and they just entered. Jiang said.

Zhao Siniang jumped up and ran to the upper room.

Just kidding, where can Zhao Yongzhong be an honest man who can deal with the two old foxes Zhao Qiaoshi and Zhao Yongnian, she has to keep an eye on it. I didn't expect Lao Zhao's family to be so efficient, and they would split up so quickly, and they would not go out in the afternoon. Zhao Siniang regretted it for a while, and prayed in her heart that it was still too late.

Who knew that when he ran to the door of the upper room, he encountered a tiger blocking the way. I saw Zhao Qiaoshi take a small bench and sit at the door of the upper room, and when he saw Zhao Siniang coming, he asked knowingly: "Siniang, what are you here to make a fuss?" ”

"It's discussing how to divide our three rooms, right? Of course I'll have to come and see. Zhao Siniang said confidently.

"It's a man's business to split up, what's the mix of your girls' family?" Zhao Qiaoshi blocked.

Zhao Siniang saw Zhao Qiao's smiling expression, and knew that she couldn't enter from the door of the upper room, so she had to give up, turned around and pulled Zhao Sanniang, who came after her, and walked away.

When they got out of Zhao Qiao's sight, Zhao Siniang and Zhao Sanniang quietly went to the window behind the upper room, wanting to eavesdrop, but who knew that they found that Zhao Chengqing was guarding there. The sisters had no choice but to go back to choose vegetables.

"Mother, where are the brothers?" Zhao Siniang thought to herself, it's not okay to be a girl, but the two brothers are qualified to enter, right? Zhao Sanlang is much more assertive than Zhao Yongzhong, so it's good to go in and listen.

"Your grandmother told them to go drinking." Jiang replied.

"Drinking? Do you want two people to go? Zhao Siniang sighed in her heart, glanced at Zhao Sanniang, and thought in her heart that this must be Zhao Qiao's tricks, deliberately opening Zhao Sanlang, who was a little more shrewd in the third room, so that it would be convenient for her to do tricks on the separation.

The sisters couldn't get into the room, so they could only be anxious outside, anxiously waiting for Zhao Sanlang and them to come back. But after a while, I didn't see Zhao Sanlang and them come back.

At this time, Zhao Qiaoshi called Jiang's to take the washed vegetables to the stove to fry, and he and Song went to the upper room to set up a meal together.

The rule at the dinner table of Lao Zhao's family is that men and women eat separately, one table for men and one table for women, all of which are placed in the hall to eat. But if there is a distinguished guest in the house, it is to set up a table in the hall to feast the guests, and the rest of the people will be eaten in the stove. Sisters like Jiang and Zhao Sanniang are naturally not qualified to serve on the table, and can only eat a few bites in the stove room.

Zhao Qiaoshi was very understanding tonight, and he didn't even let them accept the table, so he sent them back to the house. After a while, the Zhao Sanlang brothers, who came back from buying wine, were also sent back. The family could only fidget in the house and wait for Zhao Yongzhong to come back.
