Chapter Seventy-Nine, Erya
This kid is really clever, and he looks as if he has been tricked by her, but in fact, he quietly revealed what he wanted to say to Li Xiaoran.
I just don't know who taught him, or did he think so himself?
Li Xiaoran listened to him with a smile but didn't say anything, just asked her: "Your sister is very cute, your name is Ergouzi, what is her name?" ”
Seeing that she didn't answer her words, Ergouzi was a little anxious, but he couldn't urge, so he replied patiently: "Her name is Erya." ”
"It's called Erya, do you still have a big girl in your family?" She asked with interest.
"Yes, my sister's name is Da Ya, and she is twelve years old. Erya is six years old, and I have an older brother who is fourteen years old and is called Big Dog. Ergouzi simply explained the situation at home clearly, saving her from asking a little bit of questions.
She almost laughed when she heard it, it was really easy for the family to choose a name, and when she saw him scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, she teased him again, "Your family is just your four children and your father?" ”
Ergouzi thought to himself why this girl talked so much, his tone was a little impatient, but he endured and said: "I still have my grandparents and uncle's family, and there is also an uncle, my uncle is only one year older than my brother, and he hasn't married yet!" ”
Li Xiaoran listened and asked curiously: "So many people in your family live together, are you not separated?" "Just like before their house.
"What are you doing when you split up?" Ergouzi gave her a strange look, "None of the families have enough labor, and no one can have enough to eat." Little girl, you said, our original owner only received 50% of the rent and barely had enough to eat. I don't know what kind of people the new owner is, if they have to rent for a long time, they won't have a way to live. I can't say that my sister and I will have to be sold to rich families as slaves. ”
That's a smart kid. After a while, he turned around the words again, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Yihe, and saw that the new owner seemed to be going to the field, so he was a little anxious, and asked her, "How is your owner?" Will he also only receive 50% of the rent? ”
Li Xiaoran thought to herself, no matter how mature she was, she was just a child, so she stretched it a little. He couldn't hold it anymore.
"Don't worry, our owner is the best person. I've heard the owner say that no matter how high the rent is, it can't be as high as the Gu family! ”
Hearing this, the second dog was relieved, stood up and ran, and ran to a ravine with a face in the distance. In front of the old peasant, whose hair was gray, he said something happily, gesturing in his hand, and pointed to her.
A middle-aged man next to the old farmer stretched out his hand to pat him, as if to reprimand him, she looked at this scene and thought that if she hadn't come over, her father and brothers would have lived like this in the future!
Erya saw that her brother was gone. He rubbed back in front of her and timidly invited her, "You can come and play with us too." You will be the bride of Brother Dog, and I will be Brother Dog's sister. ”
Her hands were full of muddy water, Li Xiaoran took out a handkerchief, helped her wipe the runny nose, and then stuffed the handkerchief into her hand, "I don't play." Go play! ”
Erya looked at the handkerchief in her hand and her eyes widened and asked, "Is this for me?" ”
She nodded and touched her head. "yes, this one is for you."
In her eyes, Erya is just a doll in the kindergarten, completely forgetting that she is a year younger than her.
Erya said happily: "Thank you, I heard my mother say that this handkerchief is worth a lot of money." You wait, you give me a veil, and I will give you the same gift," she said, running off into the distance.
Li Xiaoran saw her go away, and slowly walked in the direction of Li Yihe.
Li Yihe was very happy, the output of this piece of land was better than that of his father Li Laoshi, he had a smile in his eyes, took his daughter's hand and asked: "Ran'er is not tired, is he hungry, wait a while, my father will talk to those uncles, and we will go back in a while." ”
Li Yihe himself is a farmer, and he does not look down on the farmer like a rich man. Although he is now a small landowner and has quite a lot of assets, he still calls the old farmer uncle and brother as before.
Li Xiaoran shook his head and said coquettishly: "I'm not tired or hungry, Daddy doesn't have to worry about me, if I'm hungry, I'll take snacks to eat." "When they came, they loaded some snacks and brought them to the car.
Li Yihe touched her head and advised, "That's okay, you follow Daddy, don't go far." ”
She nodded, agreed, and went to the field to pick flowers and play.
Li Yihe and his entourage came to the old farmer, and the field manager introduced him, "This uncle is also surnamed Li, and he is the old crop master in our field, they have many families, and they share 20 acres of land, and every year their land grows the most grain." Then he said loudly to the old man: "Uncle Li, this is the new owner, Master Li." Master Li said, this year's grain is still planted according to what was said before, and it is the same as in previous years, fifty percent of the rent. ”
The old man already knew the result from his little grandson, but he was glad to have confirmed it from the new owner. "The owner is a good person, just like the Gu owner, he is a good person!"
Li Yihe saw that he was black and thin, his face was wrinkled, and he looked fifty or sixty years old, and asked, "Uncle, how is the harvest in this field?" Can you eat enough? ”
The old man opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, and he clicked his lips and said: "It's okay, last year's year was good, and after paying the rent, I will have more coarse grains, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, and it will be no problem to eat a full stomach." ”
Li Yihe told him about the crops in the field again, and the field manager and Old Man Li knew that the new owner understood it as soon as he heard it, so he replied more carefully.
Seeing that at noon, Er Ya ran back, followed by Er Gouzi, he ran to Old Man Li, and said a little timidly: "The owner, the family has prepared a meal, please enjoy the light." ”
It's all gone, and the casualness when talking to Li Xiaoran before.
Old man Li grinned and patted his little grandson, and smiled at Li Yihe: "Zhuanghu, there is nothing to eat, but since it is time to eat, please invite the owner to enjoy your face and eat some of our farmer's food." ”
Li Yihe said with a smile: "Uncle said that he was joking, I am also a farmer, have you seen any old man who understands the work in the field and wears coarse cloth clothes?" ”
Old man Li laughed, no matter what he was wearing, but he was the new owner of this hundred acres of land, this was certain.
Li Yihe looked at his daughter hesitantly, and discussed with Ye Changsheng: "Why don't we eat here?" It's going to be half an hour younger. ”
Ye Changsheng was accompanying him today, and he also agreed when he heard the words, "Okay, let's eat here, then it will trouble this uncle." ”
Old man Li couldn't figure out his identity, so he said that he was an entourage, but he was wearing a muslin robe, which was much better than what the owner was wearing. Say he's not an entourage, but he's behind the owner, like a follower.
Li Yihe called his daughter over and said, "This is my daughter." ”
Old man Li looked at it dumbfounded, and then his little grandson, whose face turned pale, said with a smile: "My grandson doesn't know that this is Miss Dongjia, how offended he is." ”
Li Yihe was stunned, glanced at his daughter, and Li Xiaoran said with a smile: "I'm not offended, we spoke very well." ”
The second dog's face turned red, obviously thinking that he had touched someone's little girl just now - oh no, it was the young lady's little face.
He whispered, "I'm sorry." ”
Li Xiaoran naturally didn't bother with him, shook his head and chuckled, "It's okay." ”
Erya stepped forward and whispered: "My mother scolded me, saying that the handkerchief costs at least five big dollars a piece, how can you collect such an expensive thing." She said as she took out the handkerchief and handed it to her, "I got dirty just now, my mother washed it for me, and I will give it back to you!" ”
Li Xiaoran smiled: "This is for you." ”
The second girl looked at Li Laoshi in embarrassment, Li Yihe smiled and touched the heads of the two, "It's just a handkerchief, the uncle will just send a message to accept it, I see that they are about the same age, this is my daughter for her little friend." ”
Old man Li nodded and motioned for Erya to accept it, she happily put it in her arms, pulled Li Xiaoran's hand and went home, "I don't have anything for you, my mother's wild vegetables are delicious, not bitter at all." My mother also wrapped cornmeal vegetable buns, but they were delicious, but unfortunately, you didn't eat them, and my mother didn't let me eat them......"
She chattered endlessly, and Li Xiaoran could feel from her words that although their family was poor, their upbringing was excellent, and she couldn't help but be more interested in her mother.
The mud and straw house where the Er Ya family lived was low and low, not much better than the side house they lived in before, but it was larger, with a total of two grass houses before and after, and a large family of thirteen people were crammed into these grass houses.
Erya's mother is a woman in her thirties, because her face is a little old, her skin is rough, and her hands are the same as old bark, but her hands and feet are nimble, and her personality is bold. ”
Li Xiaoran was a little familiar at first sight, but she didn't think about it, she looked left and right and asked Erya: "What about your grandmother and your aunt?" ”
"They went to the fields to deliver food. When guests come to my house, they never come out, saying that they are stupid and afraid of seeing people. "Erya is much bolder than before, probably because she is very easy-going, and she can talk to her very well.
Li Yihe invited Steward Tian to sit down with Old Man Li, and asked the family if they had eaten?
The second girl said: "After eating, these are prepared for the owner." ”
Ye Changsheng looked at the dishes on this table with some surprise, chicken stewed mushrooms, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes and meat with fatty slices, and a cold salad.
Although these dishes are simple, they are very good, the eggs are put in the green sprouted green onions, looking at the yellow and green with a very appetizing, the stewed chicken is even more fragrant, even the cold wild vegetables are also very refreshing, which makes people very appetizing, and then taste a bite, the taste is also good, so praise: "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good, not worse than those restaurants in the city." ”
