It's another market day, it's cloudy, drizzle is falling in the sky, the weather is cool, naturally there is no need to set up a cold water stall, when the dawn appeared, Hua Ge'er was still rolling in bed in a daze and didn't want to get up, Xiao Mengfan, who also wanted to get out of bed, was already up by Li Mingjie with a low tiger roar.
After tidying up himself, he rinsed his mouth and washed his face with cold water outside the house, gently closed the door, and came to the kitchen, when his father's and mother's broken conversations stopped: "Fanfan, do your business." Li Mingjie didn't speak, and her mother gave her instructions in the stove.
She knew that adults didn't want children to listen to the topic, so she answered and took the rotten tile pot next to the firewood in the stove and turned around and walked out of the stove directly.
The two old hens in the family were about to lay eggs, and although they were not fat, they were waiting for their owners to feed them in the yard with their heads upright;
The three chicks she bought back by herself, because every night she would secretly find a few fat weeds from the space and some water from the small pool of the space waterfall to feed, so just three or five days of work, it used to seem that the little chicks were alive and healthy at any time; As soon as they saw her, they would chirp forward and circle at her feet to be fed.
Yesterday, she had the opportunity to follow her younger brother who was running crazy in Manshan Village, and by the way, she asked her brother to dig up a few earthworms, catch some green worms in her vegetable field, and she brought a few vegetable leaves back; Of course, she took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention to those leaves, so she replaced them with those produced in the space.
Earthworms contain high-quality animal protein, and cabbage leaf greenworms are the favorite of chickens; I originally thought that the two old hens and the three chicks would rush to eat the earthworms and insects, but what I didn't expect was that both the hens and the chicks grabbed the small pieces of vegetable leaves in the space she chopped and pecked violently.
While the chickens were eating, she picked up the broom in the corner and went into the house, first sorted out and folded her father's quilt, then collected her father's dirty clothes and her and her brother's dirty clothes into an old wooden basin, scooped some cold water from the water tank, and then went to the small pot in the kitchen to scoop some hot water and mixed it in the bucket, and then laboriously carried it to the wooden basin and poured it out slowly, hammered a few pieces of soap with a wooden hammer, and when the juice was kneaded, then immersed all the dirty clothes into the basin.
Taking advantage of the time when the clothes were soaked in the water for the first time, I swept the floor in several rooms, and did not let go of all kinds of troubles such as the cracks in the doors and corners, and then went to sweep the small yard of my house. After that, I went to the stove to scoop some hot water, found a small bucket and carried it to the house, threw a rag of unknown color into it, soaked it, wrung it out, and wiped the simple furniture of various stones and wood in the house.
After doing this, but a stick of incense, the clothes were already soaked, she found a small bench made of three wooden planks and sat down next to the wooden basin, and her two slender half-sized hands began to knead the clothes one by one.
In the kitchen, Li Mingjie and his wife whispered: "Su Niang, do you think our daughter has changed a little?" Why didn't I think she was so well-behaved and could do things before? Moreover, I found that since I fell unconscious in that fight with Ding Erwazi, she has never made me cry again. "A father must have the majesty that his children fear, otherwise how can he highlight his parental demeanor at home?
Li Cheng pulled a handful of straw in the stove, let the firelight lick the bottom of the pot happily, and her hands did not stop, from time to time holding a small handful of straw slightly and neatly stacked it in a place that could be easily reached, and whispered back in her mouth: "The daughter who came out of my belly is naturally diligent, she used to be ignorant and playful, of course, the child's mind can be relied on; Now that she is a year older, she will naturally be more sensible, girl's family, what's so strange about helping the family do things after being sensible? Howeverββ, I also think that she looks very afraid of you yelling, in fact...... It seems like...... I really haven't seen her crying all the time. β
The husband and wife met their eyes together, and they both had faint doubts, but Li Cheng hesitated and opened his mouth first: "Does it have anything to do with what happened in Jinshan Temple that time?" β
"Don't talk to Lao Tzu about things that don't make sense." Li Mingjie couldn't hold back, and claimed to be in front of his wife, seeing Li Cheng's glaring at him, he lowered his voice slightly: "I don't believe that there are any ghosts and gods in this world, you don't know the way; Besides, our family is not a rich and good family, how can your Buddha inexplicably favor us? I think it's because the incense in the temple is getting worse and worse, and those monks have found a reason to convince you stupid women, just to want you to add more money to the temple. β
"Yes, I'm stupid, the question is, I, a peasant woman who only knows the things in the world at home all day long, went because your mother believed in Buddhism and I was my daughter-in-law. In terms of eloquence, Li Cheng's family will not lose to Li Mingjie at all, but because Li Mingjie is a majestic and loud lord in front of people, his wife is really docile and virtuous in the eyes of others.
"You dead mother-in-law, don't talk to my mother, it's just unfilial."
"Such a big hat, don't buckle it on my head, I can't afford to wear it, I'm not filial to my father-in-law and mother-in-law? You go find a little mother-in-law who can be filial to your father and mother, come back, let her give birth to sons and daughters for you, and make cattle and horses for your Li family......"
The topic is always getting farther and farther away?
Li Mingjie glared at him angrily, and seemed to be virtuous and gentle, but in fact, he didn't spare his wife: "Your daughter is sensible, why are you still so unreasonable?" When he said this, he simply forgot that he was one of the unreasonable.
"The rice is going to be mushy, and I don't open the lid yet." Li Cheng glared back at her husband, stood up from the stove and straightened her waist: "My mother said that on the first day of the first month of next month, I will go to Jinshan Temple, if the Bodhisattva has a spirit and can give some food, then our family should be able to survive some days." She didn't say it yet, but what the mother-in-law meant was that if every fifteenth day of the new year could go to the temple to worship devoutly, maybe they would be able to get some food and vegetables from the Bodhisattva every month.
"Come on, you just believe in these haves and don'ts, my mother is also ......" Li Mingjie lifted the lid of the pot, and then walked to the stove and sat down: "Where is my mother going, of course your daughter-in-law should accompany you, as for what Bodhisattva will appear to give what to eat, I will never believe it, think about it, if we are really the people who have been given by the Bodhisattva, why doesn't she directly put all those things in our house to eat by herself?" Raising the monks in the temple for nothing, isn't it stupid? β
