Chapter 10: Return to Childhood
When her cousin Lanzi explained the difference between wild vegetables and hogweed, "Huh? Yinzi opened her mouth wide, and said with a look of sudden realization: "It turns out that this fern seedling is no longer edible?" I wonder why no one picks such a big bunch! ”
Lanzi smiled and asked her, "Yinzi wants to eat wild vegetables?" What's the food for this wild vegetable? It's oily and astringent, if you really don't have to eat it, who will eat it? It's really two children! Would like to eat wild vegetables! But now that the wild vegetables are old, when next spring, the eldest sister will take you to dig it! ”
Su Qiqi listened to Lanzi's words, and felt more and more that this lobby sister was really good, compared to Da Bohm's cold appearance, she liked this lobby sister a little. Because of Aunt Su's strength, after Su Qiqi got better, she never went to the Su family's house, so she had little contact with this cousin.
Looking at the two little red faces, Lanzi smiled gently: "It's okay, are you still young, where do you know so much?" You play slowly, and the eldest sister goes home to work. ”
Su Qiqi really blushed: she is an adult, and she treats the grass pig as a wild vegetable. You can't blame her, although she grew up in the countryside when she was a child, it was not popular to eat wild vegetables at that time.
Since this wild vegetable can't be eaten, Yinzi proposed: "Qiqi, let's send this back first, and then we'll play with Liu Ying." ”
Su Qiqi actually didn't want to play with such a little kid, but he couldn't resist Yinzi's enthusiasm, so he had to nod and agree: "Okay, let's first (1) (book) [read] the novel ybdu to send these to your house, since they are picked back, don't throw them away, the pigs can always eat." ”
The two of them quickly ran back to the courtyard of Su Qiuyin's house, and when they put the wild vegetables in the utility basket of Yinzi's house and came out, they happened to meet the third aunt Jiang who was returning from the vegetable garden. When he saw the two of them, he asked, "Yinzi, what are you doing with Qiqi?" ”
Yinzi didn't dare to say that she was picking wild vegetables for fear of her mother's jokes, so she pointed to the wild vegetables in the basket and said, "Mother, just now I was playing with Qiqi by the river, and I saw a lot of pigweed, so we pulled it back!" ”
Jiang smiled and said, "Oh, Yinzi will also work!" But Qiqi's illness is just right, don't let Qiqi do it, be careful to tire him! ”
Yinzi obediently said, "Well, mother, I know." Now I'm taking Qiqi to Liu Ying's house to play, and we won't work anymore! ”
Jiang looked at the obedient and well-behaved little daughter and said with relief: "Go, go home early and drive the ducks back." ”
Yinzi said as she walked: "I know, I will drive them back when the sun goes down, don't worry!" ”
Hearing Jiang's instruct Yinzi to drive ducks back to his home at night, Su Qiqi sighed and asked, "Yinzi, you still have to release ducks when you're so young?" ”
Yinzi asked puzzledly: "Qiqi, don't you know that everyone in the family has to work?" Oh, I forgot, you used to be sick all the time, and of course you couldn't work! The children in the village have to work, the girls sweep the floor, hunt pigweed, herd ducks, cook and wash clothes, etc., and the boys have to farm, grow vegetables, and herd cattle. ”
"Oh! So that's the case? After I got better, I didn't play anywhere, and I went to help my mother work. Su Qiqi echoed Yinzi and said.
As soon as the two walked to the door, they ran into Su Wenqiang, and Qiangzi asked happily: "Yinzi, where are you going to play with Qiqi?" ”
Yinzi nodded seriously: "Brother Qiangzi, Qiqi's illness is cured, we can play together in the future!" ”
Qiangzi is two years older than Yinzi and Qiqi, he is a solid young man, he listened to Yinzi's words and said happily: "Qiqi, don't you get sick in the future, I used to see you sitting crookedly at the door of the house, telling you to play and you won't go anywhere, but it's boring." ”
Su Qiqi was embarrassed to discourage him, so he nodded and said, "Well, I won't be sick again in the future, I'm all well now!" We'll play together in the future. ”
Yinzi saw the two of them standing and talking, so he urged them: "Let's go, go to Liu Ying's house to play, the four of us can play puzzles and hide!" ”
Qiangzi said happily: "Now I and Qiqi are a country, and you and Liu Ying are a country!" ”
Yinzi asked incomprehensibly: "Why do you and Qiqi be a country?" ”
Hadron laughed at her: "I don't know this? We're all boys! Of course, it's a country of men and men! Which one is in the same country as a girl, and she always squirms and pinchs things! ”
Yinzi was unhappy: "You just twisted and pinched!" I'm not! ”
Seeing that the two of them were about to blush, Su Qiqi hurriedly persuaded: "Yinzi, Qiangzi didn't mean you!" He's saying that some girls are like that, but he didn't say you. Let's go, if Liu Ying doesn't know that we're going out to play, then we'll have no company! ”
After listening to Su Qiqi's explanation, Yinzi said happily: "Let's go, let's go quickly, the courtyard of Liu Ying's house is big, and it is easy to hide the riddle." ”
The three of them turned the corner of Yinzi's house, walked on a small stone road, and arrived at the gate of Liu Ying's courtyard in a few minutes, the courtyard door was closed, and Yinzi shouted loudly at the door: "Liu Ying, Liu Ying, are you not at home?" ”
"Squeak" The door opened, and a teenager opened the door, it was Liu Ying's brother Qian Chunhu, he saw the three people in front of him and asked, "Are you coming to play with my sister?" ”
Yinzi immediately called: "Brother Chunhu, let's come to play with Liu Ying, is she there?" ”
Eleven-year-old Qian Chunhu, who was already a half-height young man, shouted into the house: "Sister, your little friend has come to play with you!" ”
As soon as Chunhu's voice fell for a minute, the thin and white nine-year-old Liu Ying jumped out: "Yinzi, Yinzi!" Ah, Qiqi also came out? ”
Su Qiqi pretended to be a child and asked, "Liu Ying, will I come to play with you too?" ”
Liu Ying said happily: "Okay! What's not to do with that. Now it's better for us to hide the riddle! The more people, the happier you are. Let's start playing now, Qiqi, which country do you want? ”
It's really a child's talk, with which country?
Without waiting for Su Qiqi to answer, Qiangzi immediately proposed: "I and Qiqiyi, we are all boys!" ”
Su Qiqi reminded Qiangzi: "Qiangzi, my body is not very good, and I may not be able to play for a long time." ”
Qiangzi thought about it and said, "It's okay, you will watch us play when you are tired." ”
Su Qiqi has only been in this body for a few days, and she is tired after playing twice, and she told them that she wants to sit down and play again. The friends knew that she was sick, so they let her sit on a small stool under the eaves and watch them play.
Chunhu came out with a cow rope and a mao knife, and when he saw her sitting on a stool playing, he asked with concern: "Qiqi, why don't you play with them?" ”
Such a child should have called him brother, but she just couldn't call him. Su Qiqi had to pull his cheeks and smile: "I'm tired, I'll just sit here and watch them play." I was just sick, and my mother said that I can't be too tired, otherwise I won't be able to get better quickly! ”
Sure enough, this excuse is classic!
