Chapter 163
Lu Xiaoyi didn't know when she fell asleep, like a rooster crow in the blink of an eye, she didn't want to move, shrunk in the quilt and continued to sleep, but it was not a rooster crowing, it was her own house, the west yard, the neighbor's, the whole village, the neighboring villages and even the entire Lu country The roosters all crowed one after another, even if you slept well, you couldn't stand so many roosters singing collectively.
I can't wait to tie all the mouth shells of the rooster that hangs and crows, Lu Xiaoyi sat up angrily, and the bangs in front of her forehead were raised by her, if there was a mirror in front of her, she always thought that she was possessed by the rooster essence.
The women all got up, because the grandmother and aunt were there, Xiaoyi Xiaoding relaxed, the work in the stove room did not need them to do, after sweeping the yard of the house was to feed the chickens, Lu Xiaoyi was unprecedentedly excited, the chopped vegetable leaves were divided into two parts, the small part was mixed with coarse bran, and the large part was mixed with bud rice noodles, and said loudly to Xiao Ding, who was about to serve the chicken food bowl: "Slow! Let me! ”
Xiao Ding wondered, looking at the eldest sister suspiciously, the eldest sister who usually feeds the chicken smells of chicken manure and chooses to chop chicken food, why do you have to do everything today?
Of course, Xiao Yi wanted to announce his personal vendetta and torture the rooster, but I saw her smirk and carry the chicken food bowl over, the chickens in the cage were already crazy, clucking non-stop, and the chickens perched on the upper layer of the chicken coop flapped their wings and jumped down, surrounding the trough and waiting for feeding.
There are few roosters and many hens, Lu Xiaoyi circled around the chicken coop, seized the opportunity and threw the roosters into the small cage next to them, and threw them a pot of coarse vegetables, and the rest of the hens happily ate the bud rice noodles and vegetables.
"It's been a great job! Something good for you guys! Lu Xiaoyi looked at the cheerfully pecking and laughed evilly.
Xiao Ding didn't know why the eldest sister took a lot of trouble to catch the rooster out and feed it alone, and wondered: "Eldest sister." Coarse bran can't catch up with bud rice noodles, right? ”
The eldest cousin Chunyun came over and said to Xiao Ding with a smile: "You still don't know that you, the eldest sister, are wilted, where is she to eat the rooster well, she is obviously using coarse chaff to pull the chicken's throat!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi rushed to Chunyun excitedly, "Cousin, you really understand me, do you have a way to make the rooster not crow, it is noisy every morning!" ”
Chunyun said: "Two methods, sold or stewed." ”
Lu Xiaoyi pointed at Chunyun with a look of understanding me. "My cousin wants to eat chicken!"
Chunyun's cheeks flushed. "Who wants to eat chicken? It's clear that you want to eat chicken, so you dig a pit and let me jump by begging! ”
"Okay, okay, I want to eat chicken." Lu Xiaoyi admitted with a smile, and then shouted in the direction of the stove room: "Mother." Slaughter a chicken at noon. Cousin says she wants chicken! ”
Chunyun is about to jump. made a gesture to pinch Lu Xiaoyi's mouth, but when Xiaoyi shouted to the stove room, he guarded her and ran to the front yard. Chunyun chased behind, Lu Xiaoyi was five years younger than Chunyun, he was shorter and his legs were shorter, and he was grabbed by Chunyun by the collar before he ran far.
Lu Xiaoyi is the kind of person who is going to die and is going to fly, and hurriedly surrendered his hand to beg for mercy, Chunyun said with a red face: "Are you still a scoundrel?" ”
"Don't play it, good cousin spare me!"
Chunyun said angrily: "It's obviously you who are greedy, but you call me a greedy person." ”
Lu Xiaoyi wanted to test whether his cousin had eavesdropped last night, and whispered: "Cousin, I'll take you to see the second child of the Yang family after breakfast!" ”
Chunyun's face turned red, and he threw Lu Xiaoyi away, "What are you talking about?" Do not understand! ”
Lu Xiaoyi brushed his collar, walked to the backyard, and dropped a sentence: "If you don't understand, forget it!" ”
Chunyun hurriedly followed, grabbed Xiao Yi and whispered in her ear, "Is it really dark?" ”
How so? Lu Xiaoyi thought about it, it should be whiter than Bao Hei Tan, and it should be about the same as Gu Tianle's complexion! But how to describe it to her, her cousin didn't know Gu Tianle, Lu Xiaoyi scratched her head, asked her cousin to wait, and ran to the granary to grab a handful of wheat, "Na, it's a little darker than wheat!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi's complexion is yellow, the color of the wheat is not abrupt in the palm of his hand, he was picked up by Chunyun's white hand, the color of the wheat has become much darker, I really don't know if I don't compare, I was startled by the comparison, Lu Xiaoyi silently pinched a sweat for that Yang Zhiwen in his heart, if he stood with a yellow-skinned girl like her, he would make do with it, if he stood with a white-skinned girl like his cousin, Lu Xiaoyi could only say, look at the meaning of the old moon!
Chunyun returned the wheat to Xiao Yi and told her: "Don't talk nonsense! My grandmother and mother are hiding this from me, and I can't let them know that I know, and my mother will screw my ears and scold me for eavesdropping. ”
"Cousin, as long as you don't blush, you can hide it." Lu Xiaoyi reminded, "You have white skin, and you are the easiest to show!" ”
Chunyun rubbed his cheeks, "Take advantage of the opportunity, as long as you don't make trouble!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi shrugged, "Cousin, I've always been very serious!" ”
"Don't be verbose, put the wheat back quickly, breakfast is almost ready." As soon as Chunyun's words fell, Xiao Ding came out and shouted that they were ready to eat.
Now that the autumn harvest is over, there is only some work to collect firewood in the field, and after breakfast, Yulan said to Lu Zhong: "Don't go to the ground today, it's rare for my eldest brother to come here, you sit with him." ”
Lu Zhong nodded, and Yulan said again: "The eldest brother's fish shop happens to be adjacent to the butcher shop of the Yang Tu family, the two of them once talked about you, and the relationship has become closer. Have a meal together at noon, drink and talk, and have a deep friendship in the future, there will be a foil in the meat market. ”
Lu Zhong said: "Brother Yang has to sell meat every day, maybe he won't be at home today!" ”
Lu Zhong doesn't have to worry about this, Wang Yujin didn't go to sell fish yesterday, he went to Wang Yuyin, and brought a message to Yang Tu by the way, Yang Tu is not a fool, he must be waiting at home today!
"You go and take a look, if he is at home, please come, if he is not there, there will be a chance to reunite again in the future, by the way, and the sister-in-law of the Yang family, don't forget to invite."
Lu Zhong got up and said, "Okay, I'll go now." ”
As soon as Lu Zhong left, Yujin's daughter-in-law became nervous, feeling the same as when she was married, happy and afraid. Now that it's her daughter's turn to say goodbye, she, the mother, began to be happy and worried again.
In the past, when a matchmaker came to the door, it was Mrs. Wang who came forward to deal with it, after all, Mrs. Wang's age and qualifications were there, and she was not panicked. But today is different, it is the sister-in-law's family who got married, and it is not a matchmaker to match, but to look at the man's family in front of the gong and the drum. Yujin's daughter-in-law's palms were already sweating slightly, and she was inevitably anxious, while Mrs. Wang sat with a normal expression, talking softly to Yulan.
Chunyun sat beside Xiao Ding in a regular manner, looking at the octagonal flowers on the soles of her shoes, she didn't dare to sit next to Lu Xiaoyi, she had to guard against that wilted cousin, in case her cousin deliberately made her bad, it would be embarrassing to make her red-faced. Chunyun was steady, pretending not to know, compared to her mother, Chunyun looked more atmospheric, and her calm expression was quite a bit of the style of a princess.
Lu Zhong came back soon and said to Yulan with a smile: "Good luck today, Brother Yang happened to be resting at home, and the butcher shop let him watch it." I went to ask him, and he was happy and said he would pack up and come over. ”
Yulan smiled, "Great, while Brother Yang hasn't come yet, you hurry up and slaughter a chicken, I'll go to the shop to buy some meat in a while, let's make a few hard dishes at noon, you have a few drinks!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi reminded: "Dad, slaughter a big rooster, don't slaughter the hen that lays eggs." ”
The conscientious big rooster really poured blood mold today, and he hung a few throats in the morning to put his life on the line, Lu Xiaoyi silently recited Amitabha, die early and be born early, don't be a rooster in the next life.
The Yang family came too fast, Lu Zhong was still plucking the chicken in the soup, and Yang Tu's portable family came to the door.
Yang Tu wore a new navy blue muslin shirt, Xu was used to seeing him wear linen short brown and fat pigs, but now he wears this to give people a strange feeling, even he himself is a little helpless, and his usual fierce temperament is bound by a suit of clothes, and he is uncomfortable.
Yang Tu's daughter-in-law wore a bean green dress, tied a dark green belt, her hair was combed properly, and a plain silver hairpin was inserted in her bun.
As for today's protagonist Yang Zhiwen, he is even more clean and tidy, presumably he has just taken a shower, his hair doesn't look completely dry, and he is tied into a slightly wet bun because he is in a hurry to go out. If you ask how to see it, you only need to compare it with his usual image, usually because he often tied up the pigs and slaughtered the pigs, when the hair was not obedient at all, he was always a messy look of robbing the people's pigs, and at this moment, there are obvious traces of comb teeth on the top of his head and both manes, his hair is neatly tied, and his dark cheeks have thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there is a kind of tiger and tiger vigor of a young man!
What's even more exaggerated is that Yang Zhiwen was carrying a pig's hind leg, yes, a whole pig's hind leg, to say the least, there were about twenty catties, so he easily lifted it over.
The Lu family and the Wang family are all stunned, this is just looking at each other! It's not a fixed hire! What do you mean by bringing a whole pig's hind leg to the Lu family? Even if you are embarrassed to come to Lu's house for dinner, you can just bring two catties of meat, why do you want to mention a pig's hind leg? Does that make you look anxious?
Also, can't you cover it with a straw curtain or a basket? There are many people in the village, and every mosquito has to be divided into male and female, you carry the pork leg all the way to the Lu family, don't you push the Lu family to the cusp?
Yulan obviously didn't know how to deal with it, but Mrs. Wang reacted quickly, and said to Yulan with a smile: "Hurry up and greet the guests when they come, the tea is ready!" ”
"Alright, alright!" Yulan reacted and hurriedly answered, then smiled and beckoned the Yang family to come into the house to sit, and asked Lu Xiaoyi to go to the backyard to call Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong was scalding the chicken and plucking the feathers, and he was in a hurry to go out to entertain the guests, so the work of plucking the chicken feathers was naturally handed over to Lu Xiaoyi.
Plucking chicken feathers is not an easy job, like even the iron sand palm, the hands are not afraid of burning, pull the chicken feathers and pull them out quickly, and the chicken skin can not be scalded, the provincial even the hair with the skin is torn off, no matter how little the chicken skin is, it is also meat, or cherish it?
The scalded chicken feathers had a strange smell, Lu Xiaoyi held his breath and pulled it out quickly, until the rooster became white and naked, he put it in the basin on the vegetable table, and covered it with a pot lid, and then pressed a basin, beware of the delicious cats who flew on the wall to steal food. When cleaning up the chicken feathers, Lu Xiaoyi picked out some red tail feathers of the rooster, planning to make a chicken feather shuttlecock, which is worthy of the rooster who died bravely, make a shuttlecock and keep a thought!
