Chapter 7 One Year
Mrs. Xu leaned against the kang table, and on her lap was a small tea plate, which was full of melon seeds and camel peanuts. She didn't speak, smiled, and looked at Xu Qinglong while peeling melon seeds. The peeled melon seeds were all placed on a small porcelain white plate, and when he saw that the peel was almost done, he pushed it to Xu Qinglong, "Eat it." ”
Xu Qinglong smiled and looked at Mrs. Xu, and then at the small white melon seeds, she had never eaten them. Curiously, she picked up one with her meat paws, and she still understood the words "let's eat". I opened my mouth wide, carefully put it in my mouth, chewed it a few times, and found that the more I chewed, the more fragrant it became, and it was delicious~~~
The melon seeds were pinched up by Xu Qinglong, and they were not hurried but quickly put into their mouths. After a while, the small plate will be empty. She eats so fast, and Mrs. Xu peels it slowly, where can she supply it. Xu Qinglong poked the small plate and wanted to eat it.
Mrs. Xu laughed, she has lived so old, she has never served anyone, she is old enough to serve the juniors. But who let this in front of her be a big baby, forget it, Mrs. Xu continued to peel it resignedly, and said while peeling, "This is a melon seed, what is peeled out is a melon seed Ren'er, Ren'er can eat it, Pi'er can't eat it, eat Pi'er stuck throat." The melon seeds are oily, eat too much and get on the fire, not a lot to eat, if you want to eat, come to your wife, and your wife will peel it for you."
Even if he didn't understand it, these words were still eaten by Xu Qinglong with melon seeds.
Then Xu Xiantong, Xu Mengtong and Xu Zinuo took turns to harass Xu Qinglong, and they all helped Mrs. Xu peel a lot of melon seeds.
After a while, Grandpa Xu came over, with a big apron around his body, seeing Xu Qinglong eating melon seeds and kernels with saliva on his hands, he hugged her with a smile, "It's so dirty, why do you eat so much?" and no one will rob you" sat down with Xu Qinglong in his arms, took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and Mrs. Xu didn't peel it anymore, she ate a lot.
"Xiao Shan and Xiao Wei's house have also been cleaned up?" Mrs. Xu asked.
Grandpa Xu nodded, "It's all cleaned up by Xiao Wei, they all live in the east wing, and they often don't come back, just clean up and live in people." These rooms still have to be built a few more, which look quite big, but they still can't live in them, and they don't even have a study. The old guard didn't have a place to live."
Mrs. Xu thought for a while, "The old guard will definitely not live in, isn't there an open space in the back, you can also build it from the back and make a backyard." The courtyard wall also has to be expanded outward, and then it will be higher, and our family will live here, which is quite far from the village, and it is not solid if it is not high."
The two elders began to plan a new home. Xu Qinglong was playing with a handkerchief and listening, while lying on the window, watching others busy. Xu Ziliang also grimaced with her, which made Xu Qinglong laugh non-stop. After playing for a long time, she suddenly interjected, where did "Goo Goo Goo" pick her up?
Grandpa Xu and Mrs. Xu glanced at each other, but they remembered that Grandpa Xu touched Xu Qinglong's little face, and he couldn't stop being smooth
"Tangtang, you're going to call her mom, mom, do you know?" It's not like an old hen.
Xu Qinglong tilted her head, repeating the word mother in her mouth, she knew what these two words meant. Even if the language is different, the pronunciation of each language calling parents is almost the same. "Mommy, Mommy!!" She has a mom!!
I remember Professor Zhang said that everyone was born by their mother. So, Mom, is it the one who gave birth to her? However, Mom didn't seem to say that, she said she was her father's sister. Can my sister give birth to her with my father?
Eh, a terrible thinking blossomed in the heart of Xu Qinglong's little pot friend. And the reason is that the Xu family's upside-down words made Xu Qinglong confused.
At this time, Grandpa Xu and Mrs. Xu were just sighing, if Xiaoshan hadn't returned to the base, she would have heard Tangtang call her mom with her own ears
Everyone thought that when Xu Shantong came back again, she would hear Xu Qinglong calling her mother, and she would be very happy. But again, it was postponed for more than a whole year.
Our sugar candy is now six years old. I just had my birthday last week. July 23rd. In addition to the appearance has not changed, the inside has undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Ma'am! Wife! Xu Qinglong trotted all the way and rushed in like a missile, "Madam, those people outside are pinching up again!" ”
Under the grape trellis in the yard, Mrs. Xu and Xu Xiantong were making clothes for Xu Qinglong. Xu Qinglong wore it from the inside out, and it was all made by their ancestors and grandchildren.
Xu Xiantong responded, pulled Xu Qinglong over, wiped her sweat, and compared the little skirt to her, "If you don't pinch it these days, don't move forward, in case they fight, I will pick you up!" You are not allowed to learn from them, do you know? Otherwise, let your grandfather hear it, and let you be punished! ”
Ah, for more than a year, the little baby who was obedient and well-behaved and only knew how to laugh at the beginning has now become a bear child that people love and hate, and the Xu family is going to die of sorrow. She's obedient, troublesome, now it's so noisy, and it's still troublesome!! I really don't know how to do it.
Let's talk about the day before yesterday, Grandpa Xu punished sugar and sugar penalization.
These days, the private land under the slope is harvested. The harvest is corn. It's all purely manual work. It's still a relay. The first took a sickle and cut it with the rod, and the next person unscrewed the rods, piled them together, and bundled them into a bundle. Of course, if an adult does this, they do it together, and if they are children, they do it separately. Finally, the mule cart and donkey cart were loaded and pulled home.
These self-reserved plots were divided by the villagers themselves, and then they found a team to build a wedge. A lot of them are close to each other, so that when the harvest is over, everyone goes up together, and more people work faster. But there are two sides to this
The nearest one near Xujiapo is a big family, surnamed Xue, the first surname in Xuefang Village, and half of the village is this surname. The old father and mother in this family can still work in the fields, and the five brothers and sons have all started a family, and each family still has children. The self-reserved land is connected together, several acres. Fortunately, it is not a ration field, otherwise it would be bigger.
So here's the problem. The little daughter-in-law of this family, who is greedy for a small amount of money, would rather give up her face to find water to drink when she is thirsty, rather than be willing to bring it from home. Then when it was time to harvest, he cut a ridge of sticks from the old four families next to him. I was mixed with my own early. When the fourth daughter-in-law found out, she quit. Let her come back.
How can you spit out the meat you eat? The little daughter-in-law said it nicely, and apologized vigorously, but she didn't pay it back. The fourth daughter-in-law also knew what virtues she had, so she didn't bother to entangle with her, and she didn't want to pay attention to the fifth child who was strict with his wife, so she asked her mother-in-law to judge the case.
But my mother-in-law is full of meat in the palms and backs of her hands, who doesn't hurt when it hurts. opened his mouth and the mud, thinking about the forbearance of the fourth family. Home and everything is prosperous. The old lady said such tall words, but she choked the fourth daughter-in-law with anger. As a result, I choked with my mother-in-law, saying that the old lady was eccentric. Then I started counting, and Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds were turned out, giving an example of how the old lady was eccentric.
The eldest son is filial, he feels sorry for his mother, and he scolded his younger brother and daughter-in-law with a sickle. All of a sudden, things are big. The fourth child scolded the boss. Then the fifth child was also scolded, and then the second and third children were not left behind.
This is harvesting and scolding, pinching badly. Anything nasty was said. This is a brother's scolding, and if the scolding is excessive, I don't worry about being hated. Well, that's exactly what they think.
As a result, the sugar candy children who went to the slope every day to wait for their brothers to come home from school were filled with these words. A sentence came out in the evening.
"Damn!"
There was silence in the room.
Grandpa Xu put down the teacup. Xu Zinuo hurriedly picked up Tangtang, "Ah, grandpa, let's go out for a walk" Hurry up and run!!
"Come back." After Qingpiao spit out two words, Grandpa Xu trained Tangtang for a long time, and then asked her to stand on the kang and punish her. Mrs. Xu is not happy, she is reluctant to punish the child, then don't punish it, I haven't heard of standing on the kang to punish the station!!
Although the sugar friends are noisy, they have a little benefit - obedience. Listen to whatever you say. Well, that's not a good thing either. The Xu family was worried that she would be taken away by Hanako, so they always looked at her with a good eye and didn't let her leave the eyes. For this, Uncle Wei is really heartbroken.
Xu Qinglong stood obediently, asked Xu Xiantong to measure the size, and nodded obediently, "I know, I don't learn." "Grandpa trained people endlessly, delaying her to watch TV.
Xu Xiantong glanced at it and knew what the kid was thinking. Gently tapped the door of the little baby's head, and hung everything on his face, what a little fool! "The water for washing your head is boiled, and my brothers will come back in a while, let them wash your head, don't stain that basin of water again."
Xu Qinglong is a bald child. Everyone in Xuefang Village knows that the Xu family has a bald child on the slope. There are a lot of bald children, but there are not many girls. If Xu Qinglong didn't wear such a colorful dress, no one would think it would be strange. But she was dressed up by Mrs. Xu and Xu Xiantong, like a little princess, but with a big bald scoop. How awkward it looks. It's all a sight to behold in the village.
If there are good things, give Xu Qinglong a nickname, called Bald. It sounds cute, but it's sad enough. Fortunately, Xu Qinglong rarely appeared in the village, and no one noticed the color of her two eyes, otherwise, she would have even more talked. Actually, it's not much better. As soon as anyone talks about the Xu family, let's start with a sentence, the bald family on the slope is too iconic.
Xu Xiantong is a perfectionist. My baby looks so good, but there is no hair, or rather, there is no hair all over the body, and there is no hair. May have eyebrows. It is long and curved, without a single stray hair around, and it is particularly clean and neat. Xu Xiantong thought, it seems that it can't grow hair. Girls, it's good to have no hair, but if you don't have hair, it's a tragedy.
