Chapter 86
At night, Lu Xiaoyi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and he didn't know where the summer insects came from, perched somewhere in the window lattice, chirping and chirping like a piano. I didn't think about anything in my head, but my cranial nerves were very excited, thinking that it was a tickling battle just now, and I played with myself, and then turned my head to look at Xiao Ding Xiaogeng who was sleeping on the side, and the sound of deep and shallow breathing was mixed with the sound of insects, making the night even quieter and longer.
Anyway, if you can't sleep, then think of something happy, and the happiest thing is love. Lu Xiaoyi planned to recall the bits and pieces of contact with the surplus food after wearing it, but the drowsy god seemed to be against her, so she remembered the beginning and fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, I stretched out refreshed, and sighed that there was a cure for insomnia.
After breakfast, Lu Xiaoyi originally planned to go to find surplus grain to say about helping, but was stopped by Yulan, saying that she would take advantage of the cool morning to go to the vegetable field with her to pick some melons and vegetables and come back, and Lu Zhong would talk about the surplus grain himself.
Lu Xiaoyi had no choice but to go with Yulan.
The weather was hot, and the farm work in the field was done in the morning, and Wang Dongmei then came to the vegetable field, and the two of them were talking while pulling weeds in the vegetable furrow.
Lu Xiaoyi's cat searched under the cucumber rack, and every time he came to the vegetable field, he couldn't eat a fresh cucumber, but this time he was strange, looking for it three or five times, except for the old cucumber and the small cucumber, he couldn't find a crisp and tender cucumber.
Lu Xiaoyi wondered in her heart, the first thing she suspected was Mrs. Lu, there was no way, her grandmother had this criminal record.
"Auntie, has grandmother been working in the vegetable patch these days?"
Wang Dongmei was talking to Yulan, and Lu Xiaoyi asked twice before she heard it. smiled apologetically and replied: "She recently used the excuse of taking Xiaofeng, and she was not even willing to enter the stove room, where is she still willing to run into the vegetable field!" ”
If it's not Mrs. Lu, who will it be?
Lu Xiaoyi's eyes glanced at the courtyard of the Lu family's big house next to the vegetable field, and his heart suddenly lit up, why did he forget about this family, and if he moved back, there must be a shortage of melons and vegetables at home. However, you can make it clear that you are short of food, and her family is not a stingy person. Take it away silently. What's the matter?
Lu Xiaoyi stared at the courtyard of the big house angrily, the newly painted courtyard door was closed, and the pear branches sticking out from one side of the courtyard wall were full of green-skinned pears, and the naughty children who were used to picking in previous years. At this point, I still can't stop itching. Hide at the base of the wall and poke it with a long stick.
This is mostly the case with the country urchins. Playing together all day long, climbing flowers and picking fruits, climbing over the wall and trees, there is nothing they dare not do, and the villagers are accustomed to it. As long as it is not too excessive, and at most it is smiling and scolding, no one will take it to heart.
The pear branches outside the wall trembled, and the branches inside the wall shook with it. Mrs. Lu quickly opened the door and came out, pointing to a few naughty boys at the base of the wall and reprimanding: "Little wild donkeys, haven't you been fed every year?" Now someone in the family dares to come to steal, it's too lawless! How did your family teach? ”
The naughty boys are also thick-skinned, giggling and scattering but not going far.
Mrs. Lu walked to the corner of the wall and picked up the fallen green-skinned pears, scolded and scolded, and saw Wang Dongmei, Yulan and Xiaoyi in the vegetable field next to her, and quickly laughed, "Ouch, this vegetable field belongs to the second child's family, you say that I have this memory, I can't remember it all these years when I haven't been in the village." ”
Lu Xiaoyi sneered: "Grandmother, you won't even be able to find your own vegetable patch, right?" ”
Mrs. Lu didn't bother to look at Lu Xiaoyi, and when her words were in her ears, she continued to say to Yulan and Dongmei: "The two nephews and daughters-in-law are diligent people, tsk, look at how neatly this vegetable field is cleaned up, the red, green, and green look gratifying." ”
The more Mrs. Lu ignored Lu Xiaoyi like this, the more Lu Xiaoyi became angry, and deliberately pointed to a few naughty boys not far away and shouted: "Dog, have you picked cucumbers from my field to eat?" ”
Goudan'er jumped up, "Sister Xiaoyi, we don't have it, we're tired of eating cucumbers." ”
"Then why are there fewer cucumbers in my house?" Lu Xiaoyi deliberately observed Mrs. Lu's expression, and sure enough, she saw that her face was stiff, which was extremely unnatural.
Goudan'er smiled, "Sister Xiaoyi, I know who stole it......"
Mrs. Lu hurriedly shouted: "Little thief, don't get out of here if you steal my pears, let me catch you next time and tear your skin!" ”
Goudan'er pointed at Mrs. Lu and shouted: "It's her, I saw her stealing cucumbers and beans in your field yesterday." Several other children also came out to correct her.
Mrs. Lu jumped to her feet angrily, pointed at the dogs and scolded: "Wild donkeys, stealing my pears doesn't count, but accusing me of stealing melons and picking vegetables, and then talking nonsense, believe it or not, I knocked out your teeth?" ”
Knocked out teeth? Hum! The devil believes it! Goudan'er continued to expose: "Hehe, I saw that you were not satisfied with stealing a basket, and went to the field next to you to steal loofahs and pumpkins. Goudan'er pointed to the vegetable patch that Wang Dongmei was picking up, "You don't know, when you stole vegetables, a few of us took the opportunity to lay a few pears." ”
Mrs. Lu was so angry that she threw a few little pears in her hand at the dogs, "Smash you wild donkeys!" has been stealing chickens and dogs since he was a child, and sooner or later he will be in prison. ”
The dog dodged flexibly, and when the pear rolled to the ground, he grinned and picked it up, "Let's go, the pear is here." ”
Mrs. Lu hurriedly roared and chased after her, where could she catch up, and a few naughty boys ran away in an instant.
Yulan and Wang Dongmei stopped pulling weeds, checked in the vegetable field, and had a number in their hearts, taking care of the face of Mrs. Lu's mother-in-law, the two looked at each other helplessly and smiled, not mentioning this stubble.
Mrs. Lu didn't catch up with anyone, so she walked back scolding, explained a few words to Yulan and Dongmei in a pale language, and then slipped into her yard.
Yulan and Wang Dongmei were angry, and agreed that they should not let Mrs. Lu know about this, and don't make a noise about it for a little melon, melon and vegetables, so that the villagers can see the jokes.
Lu Xiaoyi doesn't think so, she thinks that Mrs. Lu is not a child, and being able to do such a thing can only show that she doesn't put the second room in her eyes. Guaguacai is a small thing, but looking at the big thing from the small thing, if the small thing can be done politely and politely, the big thing will also be relaxed. Mrs. Lu can come to the door and tell Yulan or Mrs. Lu that she can't grow melons and vegetables for a while when she returns to her hometown, so let the second room help for a while. Lu Xiaoyi believes that Yulan will be willing to give, and as for Mrs. Lu, she will still give it after chirping.
Lu Xiaoyi intuitively felt that Mrs. Lu would not stop, and she deliberately had eyes on the vegetable field a few times, and she had a recipe for how many melons and vegetables, so she saw that Mrs. Lu would stop.
Facts have proved that Lu Xiaoyi's intuition is very effective, the melons and vegetables in the field continue to decrease, but the frequency and quantity of the reduction have decreased, there is one less melon today, one less vegetable tomorrow, and you can't find it if you don't pay attention.
Lu Xiaoyi told Yulan about this, and Yulan sighed: "This kind of person is stupid, you can get more melons and vegetables by going to the open, but you have to choose to steal behind your back." ”
"Mother, do you think my uncle and grandmother will steal other people's dishes?"
"There are so many people in her family, how can one melon and two vegetables be enough to eat, I estimated that she started to touch the vegetable field outside her yard."
“…… If someone is caught and there will be trouble, the person who loves face so much will definitely not be able to spare her. ”
"So she's a fool, if it's me, the first thing I do after returning to the village is to get the vegetable field out, quickly find some cabbage, greens, leeks, chives, these fast-growing ones, plant them and water them diligently, and they will soon be on the table, and then have a good relationship with relatives and neighbors.
"Mother, you're amazing!" Lu Xiaoyi looked at Magnolia with starry eyes.
Yulan poked her forehead, "This is not called powerful, a daughter-in-law who lives a life can think of it." ”
"Why can't Grandmother Uncle?"
"If you can think of this, that yard won't be drenched, hehe, maybe your mind isn't on this!"
Lu Xiaoyi pouted and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Yulan, "Don't worry about the vegetable field, there are many melons and vegetables in summer, she likes to pick them, our family is not short of those melons and vegetables, let's take care of it in autumn." ”
Magnolia's generosity does not mean that others are also generous.
Within a few days, Mrs. Lu was arrested, and the person who arrested her was the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family who had a dispute with the Lu family.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family bullied the little Yi sisters and brothers in the vegetable field last year, and later was found by the ancestors and grandchildren of the Lu family to make trouble.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family wants to say that she doesn't resent or hate, that's fake, no, she caught Mrs. Lu's sister-in-law stealing her own vegetables, and suddenly the new hatred and old hatred came together, and she kept a safe distance to prevent the porcelain incident from happening again.
Although Mrs. Lu has lived in the city for a few years, her nature is not good, and she used to be a master of tricks.
It is said that it is unreasonable for Xiucai to meet soldiers, but what about the children's family members who meet the shrews in the township? And in the case of stealing vegetables and being caught stealing vegetables, it is not reasonable.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was not in a hurry to scold, but first began to build momentum, attracting many village women to watch, and then carried the evidence: a yellow pumpkin, showed the pumpkin to everyone, and then compared it with the fresh seal on the pumpkin vine, which can completely prove that the pumpkin has just been picked from her vegetable field.
After the physical evidence was demonstrated, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family began to shout: "I didn't tell nonsense, did I? I didn't frame you, did I? You don't have anything to say when I'm caught, right? Hey! I wondered, there are fewer melons and vegetables at two ends in three days, and there are not many less, but there are few, I don't believe in this evil, I don't believe that I can't catch people! ”
"Who's got me? What about a family of two children, and a woman from a scholar's family doing such a thing? Ouch, what a big laugh! Eh, let's all talk about it, is this something that a scholar can do? ”
Mrs. Lu's thin lips were tightly closed, it was false to say that she didn't regret it, she regretted her death, she knew that she picked it in the vegetable field of the second room every day, anyway, they were all her own relatives, and if she knew, she wouldn't make such a fuss.
Regret is regret, there is no regret medicine, only to die hard and not admit it, Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth and scolded back: "Phew! Where did the wild donkey hooves come from, running outside my yard with blood spraying people, which hole did you see me stealing your pumpkin, how do you say it alone, how can you be so capable! Believe it or not, let my lord write a complaint and punish you for false accusations. (To be continued......)
