Chapter 54: The Mascot
As soon as Zhou Yang heard that he was going to delay his work to fight sparrows, he didn't quite agree, and just wanted to speak, he was pulled by Zhou Chen. "Milk, yesterday there was such a large flock of sparrows flying out of nowhere, and today we may not be so lucky to be so lucky. Besides, everyone in the tunzi should have heard about our fight against sparrows yesterday, and all the children in the tunzi have to come out to fight, and today we can't fight as much as yesterday. ”
"You two don't fight dozens of them a day, don't think about hiding your eyes from me! Your aunt can't see you for a year, so it's begging you to let you hit a few sparrows, why are you pushing? "In the past few days, Mrs. Zhou is a hedgehog that can't be touched, whoever says anything can provoke her, as soon as she heard Zhou Chen shirk it, she immediately knocked the broom pimple on the kang mat with a bang,
"We haven't seen my aunt yet!" Zhou Jun muttered on the north kang, and was slapped by Zhou Fu and was silent.
"Milk, I'm afraid Erle and I won't fight so much, let my eldest brother go too." He played better than me, certainly more than me. Hit a few more and let my aunt and their family have a good meal. Zhou Chen didn't react at all to Mrs. Zhou's words, and then said to Mrs. Zhou.
When it comes to sending things to Zhou Hongxiang's family, Mrs. Zhou has nothing to do, but it is indispensable to scold and then agree. So in the angry scolding of Mrs. Zhou, the three brothers and sisters of Zhou Yang left home. Mrs. Zhou was still shouting in the back: "You two are going to fight sparrows, what are you doing with a dead girl?" She must not be held back? ”
"Save yourself from staying at home and making your milk angry!" Zhou Chen shouted at Mrs. Zhou, and successfully pinched Mrs. Zhou's next scolding in her throat.
Like every time she went out of the village, Zhou Wanwan was carried in the arms of her eldest brother again, but this time there was no old black cotton jacket, Zhou Wanwan could only hide in Zhou Yang's single clothes, and the concealment was not so high. But it's still very effective, at least I met a few people on the way out of the village, and Zhou Wanwan's little face was not pinched.
Out of the village, Zhou Chen looked back and forth, walked to the tall grass behind a dung heap, rummaged through it, and took out a wooden bucket. "Last night, I guessed that today we have to let us make sparrows for my aunt, and we will take this opportunity to sell fish again."
"Then you ...... this morning," Zhou Yang slowly reacted.
"Deliberately." Zhou Chen picked up his brother's words with a smile, "If it weren't for milk, how could you not go to work." Seeing that Zhou Yang was a little worried, Zhou Chen said again: "Erle can't beat a few sparrows, and he can't take them back if he does, I asked Zhao Dazhuang to go with him, and when the time comes, he will burn himself and eat it." Let's come back and play while walking, and a few are counted, anyway, there are more than Erle. ”
Zhou Chen never hid anything from his brother, and today he also told all his plans, "I hid the barrel here last night, and instructed Zhao Dazhuang to call Erle to the windbreak north of Tunzi today, so that he can't touch it which way we go to the commune." And this," Zhou Chen winked at Zhou Wanwan, took out the hairband she had never dared to wear at home from her pocket, and tied a beautiful bow on her sister's head, "We're going to the commune to eat fritters, we have to dress up beautifully!" ”
Zhou Wanwan was very cooperative with her second brother, shaking her fluffy little curly hair stinkily, raising her small chin and asking Zhou Yang: "Big brother, is it good-looking?" ”
Zhou Yang was amused by his sister's cute little appearance, how could he still tell whether his younger brother had deceived his grandmother or whether he had calculated Zhou Jun.
Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan quietly exchanged glances, one picked up something and walked towards the Hetao, the other hugged Zhou Yang's neck and asked questions, and from time to time he also instructed him to pick a flower and catch a butterfly, and crossed Nanshan with laughter and laughter all the way.
Most of the fields around the Hetao are planted with wheat, and a large area is connected together, and the three of them walk on the narrow field path in the middle of the wheat field, and they feel like they are in a sea of grass. This year's rain is suitable, and the wheat seedlings have now grown to more than a foot high, pulling out the first knot, green and soft, dense and strong, and it makes people happy and steady from the heart. In the early morning, the cool and moist breeze blows in your face, and the turquoise waves of wheat gently rise and fall, bringing the fragrance of grass and trees and a slight sweetness unique to wheat seedlings.
The three brothers and sisters were all peasant children who were accustomed to seeing this green sea and wheat waves, but they were still inexplicably attracted, and stopped and looked at it quietly for a while.
"In autumn, there will be white steamed buns to eat!" Zhou Yang smiled and gently stroked Zhou Wanwan's head.
"Uh-huh!" Zhou Wanwan's head rubbed against Zhou Yang's hands, which are not thick and wide now, but they can bring her the greatest safety and warmth, "The eldest brother and the second brother also eat white steamed buns." ”
Although he knew that it was impossible to expect the Zhou family to give their three brothers and sisters white steamed buns in their lives, Zhou Wanwan still coaxed him along with Zhou Yang's words. Her eldest brother and second brother have never eaten a few white steamed buns in their previous lives and this life combined, but they always put feeding her in the first place, so she has to work hard to let her two brothers eat well and eat good food as soon as possible.
The three of them soon came to the riverbank, and when they looked down, the Hetao looked different from the previous two times.
The water in the bubbles is a little less than when it rained last time, the reeds around the bubbles have grown to more than half a person's height, and some green grass has grown on the small sand mounds around them, which are much more vibrant than in the spring. Near the riverbank, I don't know when a lot of tall grass has grown, and it finally looks like a barren beach.
went down to the loop, Zhou Yang didn't use Zhou Wanwan's request, so he took the initiative to take her to touch the water, and teased his sister: "Nan Nan touch the water, I can bless my brother to catch a big fish!" ”
Zhou Wanwan nodded vigorously, and the small scroll on her head also swayed, "I'm a mascot!" ”
"Mascot? What is it? "Zhou Yang has never heard of this thing that only appeared in later generations.
"It just brings good luck!" Zhou Wanwan warned herself in her heart not to let down her guard and say everything, and explained to her eldest brother very seriously.
"We don't bring good luck!" Zhou Yang agrees with this statement, "I will be the mascot of the eldest brother and the second brother in the future!" ”
Zhou Chen, who had taken off his shoes and had already gone into the water, couldn't help but come up again when he heard the conversation between the two, and pulled Zhou Wanwan's head and kissed it big, "Mascot!" Today, the second brother will catch a few big fish for you to eat! ”
Zhou Chen and Zhou Yang went into the water to catch fish, Zhou Wanwan was arranged to sit on a small sandbag very close to the bubble like last time, Zhou Yang was still not at ease, and deliberately pulled out the grass around him and cleaned it up, for fear that something like a small insect would bite his sister.
