Chapter 37: Troublemaking
Jiang Minghui saw that his father finally gave in to his mother, and he didn't dare to make her angry anymore, so he hurriedly ran away.
That night, he informed the Cai family again, asking him to prepare his things and leave together tomorrow.
Early the next morning, he and the kohlrabi rocked the boat to Green Bay Village.
When I arrived at Guo's house, it was only half of the morning.
The Guo family is really killing New Year's pigs, and they are busy beating tofu.
The butcher in a greasy coat and Guo Daquan stood in the courtyard and spoke, an oval long wooden barrel was placed in a corner of the courtyard, which was used to scald the pig. Hot water is boiling in the kitchen to prepare to scald the pig; Guo Dayou and Guo Dagui were on the branch door board, waiting for the meeting to open the pig's belly, and they were preparing in an orderly manner.
Seeing them coming, the Guo brothers hurriedly went downhill to the water's edge to answer.
Baskets and bags of things were brought ashore and piled up.
The butcher asked who sent it, and he was busy complimenting Jiang Minghui with good character, good family business, good fortune of the Guo family's daughters, etc., Guo Shouye and his family were full of smiles when they heard it, and they felt very glorious.
Jiang Minghui personally and Guo Dagui moved the four screens to the dumb room upstairs.
After some consideration, the screen is placed about three feet in front of the bed to separate the inside and outside space.
Qing dumb see that the screen under the feet are made of bamboo tubes and bamboo strips, polished to a delicate and smooth texture, the upper frame is inlaid with plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum four bamboo silk paintings, it is she designed, at a glance, than the wooden screen has another kind of fresh and elegant rhyme, the heart is very happy.
"I made it up." Jiang Minghui whispered to her.
"Thank you!" Dumb leaned back at him.
"Thanks what! Poorly written. After two years of my craftsmanship, I don't need this, and I'll make it for you again. He looked at her and promised.
Dumb smiled and nodded.
"Little sister don't want it to give it to me, I want it."
Guo Dagui touched the screen rarely, and couldn't put it down.
Jiang Minghui and Qing looked at each other and smiled.
Jiang Minghui thought to himself, when he opened it in the future, it would not be easy to give his uncle a few screens, how could he let him pick up the dumb ones, but it was not easy to say this at the moment.
At this time, there was a sound of pigs screaming downstairs and began to kill pigs.
"Let's go, go down and help." Guo Dagui pulled Jiang Minghui's arm.
"I don't dare to look at it. I can't help much. β
Jiang Minghui didn't want to do that job, he just wanted to stay with Qingdu, so he didn't want to go down.
Guo Dagui dragged him downstairs alive, and Qingdue also followed.
On the field outside, the Guo brothers and kohlrabi had already tied up the big fat pig that was howling "whooping" and was ready to be slaughtered, and the little babies were all watching from the sidelines, and they were dumb and had goosebumps all over their bodies.
Seeing that Jiang Minghui didn't dare to step forward, she relieved him and said, "Help me peel bamboo shoots." β
Jiang Minghui couldn't ask for it, so he sat with her under the eaves of the porch and peeled winter bamboo shoots.
Guo Dagui couldn't, and he wanted to peel bamboo shoots under the porch, but in front of everyone, he didn't dare to take his little sister's hand, so he stepped forward to help.
Jiang and Guo sat on the small bench, and did not watch the pig killing process, but only cared about peeling bamboo shoots and talking.
After peeling one, Jiang Minghui took off the winter bamboo shoots from Qingdu's hand, picked up one of her palms and looked closer, and said, "Don't peel it, let me come." The skin of this bamboo shoot is hard and rough, and it cuts your hand, and this fingernail is broken. β
Dumb didn't know what to say, so he watched him peel it.
Jiang Minghui smiled and told her that he only took so many winter bamboo shoots first, even if he ate them, he would dig them again when he went back, and when he came to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the first lunar month, he would send another batch; I also told her how many bamboo and silk paintings were stored at home, and that my brother and they were stepping up their production; and calculated with her how much silver she earned in Wuyou Town in January, and when she went to Xiazhao County to open a shop, the rent was much more expensive, and I don't know what the result was, and so on.
Speaking engagemently, unconsciously the ears became quiet.
It turned out that the pig didn't bark, not even humming, and had been killed.
Guo Qin, Guo Qiao, and Guo Jian all moved to the porch after watching the excitement, and each of them occupied a pair of large and small stools, busy writing. Because he was dumb beside him, he just begged her for guidance and teaching.
Guo Qin was very happy today, because he could ask Jiang Minghui.
Qing Mu taught a song "Jiang Xue" by Liu Zongyuan today: Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, and thousands of people disappear. Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow. Just because it has snowed several times recently, she wants to teach them this famous masterpiece.
Guo Qin always couldn't remember the words "absolute" and "trace", so he asked Jiang Minghui.
Jiang Minghui is refreshing, and he will answer every question, and he will sue him.
Guo Qin was very happy, so he memorized it attentively and lowered his head to copy.
However, Jiang Minghui had endless words to the dumb.
First talk about weaving bamboo silk paintings, then talk about the shop pΓΉ business, and then talk about interesting things in the town: who suddenly entered the thief at night and was bitten by his dog, and what whose daughter walked on the way when she got married, the sedan chair suddenly broke down and dropped the bride, and whose son fell in love with a girl, kneeling and kowtowing to someone to ask for kiss......
Dumb listened with sparkling eyes and full of amusement.
Guo Qin Sanxiao couldn't help but listen, and looked at Uncle Minghui stupidly.
After one thing is finished, what I just asked has long been forgotten and left out of the clouds.
So he had to ask again.
But Jiang Minghui was talking to Qing Mu hotly.
Guo Qin also knew what was wrong, so he wanted to wait for him to finish before asking.
It was easy to wait for a paragraph to finish, and he hurriedly asked.
Jiang Minghui sued him again.
Guo Qin began to memorize again, rolling his eyes and looking at the sky, muttering in his mouth, crushing hard, making sure that the sentences he read left deep ruts on his heart.
However, Jiang Minghui's voice came from the side again.
He pricked up his ears again to listen, and then forgot what he had read.
After a few times, he couldn't bear it anymore.
He's going to study hard.
It's easy to catch my sister-in-law and teach it again!
However, since Jiang Minghui came, he has never left his sister-in-law, and he can't ask or remember a lot of nonsense, how can he learn?
"Uncle Minghui, why are you talking so much?" Guo Qin asked.
Jiang Minghui looked at the little baby staring at him, a little overwhelmed.
"Don't talk to my sister-in-law. I can't even read. He said.
"Me too." Guo Qiao also charged.
"Me too." Guo Jian also agreed.
Compared with Guo Qin, the two little ones have another feeling - the feeling of being ignored!
Guo Qiao felt that as long as Jiang Minghui came, followed by her sister-in-law, her sister-in-law would not be as fond of her and her younger brother as usual; She wrote the right words, memorized the sentences, and told her sister-in-law, she was also absent-minded, unlike before, with a look full of appreciation; When I asked her words, she didn't pay much attention, and the feeling of being ignored made her unbearable.
Faced with the accusations of the three little babies, Jiang Minghui's face turned into a big red cloth.
Seeing him like this, he was dumb and embarrassed, and looked at him helplessly.
It's a good thing that her nieces and nephews are studious, and in line with the principle of learning first, she motioned to Jiang Minghui to teach them and peel bamboo shoots herself.
Jiang Minghui moved the stool to Guo Qin's side and taught them wholeheartedly.
Sanxiao was very satisfied with the result, and re-wrote and read it.
However, Guo Qin obviously "has more than enough heart but not enough strength".
His heart is scattered, and his eyes are flowery.
When he recited, he "watched six ways and listened to eight directions": when he glanced at it, he saw that the pig over there had been scalded and scraped white, and was carried to the door panel to be disemboweled, and some villagers had come to buy meat; With a shrug of his nose, he smelled the aroma of boiled soy milk from the kitchen; Consciously distracted, busy collecting his mind and returning to the poem in front of him, so he forgot how to pronounce the word "absolute", and was about to ask Jiang Minghui, when he raised his eyes, he saw that he was making a mouth shape in front of his dumb mouth......
He got angry and shouted "Uncle Minghui! β
Jiang Minghui was very distressed because he saw that he had peeled off a few bamboo shoots and broke two nails, so he didn't want her to peel them. Ran thought of the difficult Guo Qin and Guo Qiao, hurriedly closed his mouth again, pulled her sleeve, opened her mouth and asked silently, "Is it enough?" β
The ability to distinguish lips is super strong, and you can know what he is saying at a glance.
She shook her head, indicating that it wasn't enough.
Jiang Minghui asked again: "How much more do you want to peel?" β
was busy playing dumb words, and was interrupted by Guo Qin.
He was like a thief being caught, and his face quickly turned red again.
Guo Qiao also found out, and looked at Uncle Minghui with disdain-
Hmph, talk as you talk, sneaking around is like being a thief!
Jiang Minghui felt very helpless, and it was impossible to think about taking three children.
At this time, Guo Dagui ran over, pulled him up, and said, "Let's go, help scoop the tofu brain." It's time to press the tofu. β
Jiang Minghui had no excuse to excuse himself, so he had to stand up.
Before leaving, I was still worried about what had just happened, and asked Qingdu, "It's not enough, do you want to peel it?" β
It's shouted directly, and I don't make a mouth and a dumb speech.
Nodding dumbly, he said, "I want to make tofu buns, tofu dumplings, fried glutinous rice balls......"
These are all used for winter bamboo shoots, so you should peel them more.
When Guo Qin's brothers and sisters heard that they were going to make so many delicious foods, such as tofu buns and tofu dumplings, it was the first time they heard about it, and they were immediately in high spirits, and they all dropped their pens and ran to help Qing dumb peel bamboo shoots.
Jiang Minghui looked dumb and smiled, and then followed Guo Dagui to the kitchen.
Next, Qingdu has been busy in the kitchen, mixing meat filling, making tofu buns, tofu dumplings, and glutinous rice balls. The two sisters-in-law were busy making pig-killing rice and invited the elders to eat. In the afternoon, come and help. Busy until dinner.
After dinner, everyone cleaned up for a long time before sitting down to rest.
In front of many people, Jiang Minghui is naturally not good at talking to the dumb.
It's easy to wait for each to disperse, but the dumb didn't go to the third brother's room, but went upstairs.
He couldn't keep up, he was anxious in vain, and he had no intention of talking to Guo Dagui, so he had to sleep.
The next morning, he woke up to the sound of the piano.
This morning is full of spring. He closed his eyes and listened, as if he saw himself and Qingmu rowing a small boat through the lotus leaves, the green air of the lotus leaves, the fragrance of the lotus flowers lingering on the tip of his nose, and the butterflies and dragonflies fluttering in the lotus pond......
He waited until the piano stopped before getting up.
After dressing and grooming, the dumbness came.
She held a jacket and a pair of shoes in her hand and unfolded them for him to try.
The jacket of the jacket is a round-necked lake blue brocade robe, with clumps of bluegrass woven on it, which is very bright and elegant. In order to facilitate disassembly and washing, the inside is made of silk and cotton. It is also equipped with a belt of the same color, with three buckles side by side in the front, which is not gold or jade, but is made of green bamboo.
Jiang Minghui was pleasantly surprised: "You asked me to make this buckle, it's this!" β
It turned out that the clasp was painted dumbly, and he asked him to do it, and he went home and asked his eldest brother to do it.
