138. The dispute over the small yard
Star fruit days are finally back to normal.
In the morning, I draw a base map, embroider some pillows, and sometimes teach Liu Tao to paint, or teach Liu Cheng arithmetic.
It's just that she can't fight when she thinks of this abacus, let alone teach. In ancient times, accounting was generally done with an abacus, right? Let the girl take care of the accounts, I don't know if it's in line with the rules, but since the people in the village have no objections, it should be no problem.
Although the children's studies have not been abandoned in the past few months, they have continued in the courtyard of Aunt Liu's house. Lu Dahei, Pei Yifan, Xia Dongyun, Liu Tao, and Liu Cheng also cooperate very well, and they look like little teachers.
Only she seems to have not told a story to everyone for a long time, and there are a few children who often stop listening to other people's classes just to listen to stories. It's no wonder that children who are too young have to be interested in learning things.
Seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is still about a month to harvest the wheat, I am afraid that the matter of this school will have to be delayed for a while, but fortunately, the star fruit they have moved back to their new home, and everyone has begun to come to the courtyard of the star fruit house to study again. And because everything is fresh at home, everyone is more interested.
Sometimes when everyone dispersed, star fruit couldn't help but carry a small basket and a small shovel to the creek or the forest to dig wild vegetables, and this time it was not only the second girl Liu Cheng, Shui Xiang and Xiaoyu who went with her, but also Xia Dongyun and Chun'er, or Liu Ju, and other girls in the village.
Except for Liu Tao, I always use the excuse of painting or rubbing at home, and I haven't been there once.
On this day, star fruit waited for the other children to disperse as usual, and went to dig wild vegetables with Liu Cheng, Xiaoyu, and Shui Xiang, because Xia Dongyun went to her grandmother's house in the town, and no one fought with Liu Cheng, as if there were many fewer people. Not as lively as the first two.
Most of the time, Liu Cheng ran out to play in the name of digging wild vegetables, and star fruit was not in a hurry, so he sat down enough first, and then dug some wild vegetables back. Although many of the dishes have not yet grown, they are just enough to eat every day. I went back.
Star fruit didn't realize that she was actually trying to find a reasonable reason to come to the creek so often.
Carambola sat on a stone, with her head on her cheeks, and remembered the first time she and Er Yatou, Shui Xiang, and Xiaoyu met kites, and there was a trace of melancholy in her heart. It's only been about a year, why do you feel that her life has changed so much?
But star fruit is just melancholy, she is a person who doesn't like to indulge in sadness, and she has the time to be sad, so it's better to think about something else.
When I thought about going to town again. It should be the day of the market again, this time I must let Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu help pick a few chickens. After all, the village was far away from the town, and the road was bumpy, and if she came back from buying eggs from the town, she doubted that there would be a whole egg left when she got home.
Although there is a horse pen and a vegetable garden along the pond, there are still two roads that lead to the pond. Star fruit thought about raising two ducks and geese too. Duck eggs are marinated and eaten. It is better than eggs, and the egg white of goose eggs is transparent, boiled or poached eggs, which are more beautiful than eggs and can arouse people's appetite.
Liu Cheng saw that the star fruit was sitting there very quietly, and ran around with Xiaoyu and the fragrance of water. So he also found a stone and sat down, followed the example of star fruit, and held his cheeks with his hands. Xiaoyu and Shui Xiang immediately turned into carbon paper, and their movements were exactly the same as star fruit.
Star fruit smiled softly, and thought that it was the same when she encountered the kite that day. I couldn't help but subconsciously look at the sky again, but unfortunately there was nothing in the sky except a few thin white clouds!
In fact, there are not many wild vegetables by the stream, so you have to walk to the side, but the star fruit is used to sitting by the stream for a while, even if you don't want to do anything.
Originally, Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu didn't eat wild vegetables, and last year, Xiaoyu and the second girl dug up the plantain and mother-in-law, etc., and let them feed the ducks and geese, but seeing that star fruit likes these things so much, and remembering that those pigs are so fragrant in the water, I can't help but have the idea of tasting them.
If it was a year ago, star fruit would definitely talk about the nutritional value and benefits of various wild vegetables, but since being discovered by kites, star fruit has paid more attention to its words and deeds, so it only tells everyone what dishes are delicious and how to make them, as for what they do, they don't mention it.
"Auntie, auntie, this dandelion, also known as mother-in-law, can be dipped in sauce and eaten, or blanched with water, put a little salt, garlic, chili pepper and sesame oil cold dressing, or stir-fry meat, or make soup, you can ......" Because Liu Cheng and Xiaoyu told the star fruit that Aunt Lu also wanted to try to make some wild vegetables to eat, and after coming back, the star fruit first came to Aunt Lu's house with Xiaoyu.
was talking with Aunt Lu while choosing her mother-in-law, thinking about going to Aunt Liu's house for a while, but unexpectedly, Liu Cheng, who had just run home, ran back again.
"Auntie, auntie, my second aunt and second uncle are fighting, my mother can't pull it away, let me come and call you, and call a few more people to go quickly."
"What's going on here?" When Aunt Lu heard that it was Aunt Liu who called, she was not ambiguous and quickly stood up.
Carambola also picked up her small basket and followed Aunt Lu to the village. Because the star fruit and Liu Cheng's family were in the innermost part of the village, Aunt Lu didn't say anything, but Xiaoyu also wanted to follow, but Aunt Lu didn't let her.
"Xiaoyu, your brother will be back in a while, you are waiting for him at home, don't go with your mother, be careful of bumping into you! It's your Sister Peach and Sister Orange, and let them go home first, so that they don't let them watch the excitement. Aunt Lu said as she walked out.
Xiao Yu's small mouth pouted, but she still nodded obediently.
Star fruit wanted to go and see the excitement, but thinking that it was Liu Er's family and Uncle Liu who quarreled, it was best for the children not to follow the participation, otherwise when this matter passed, Second Uncle Liu would be embarrassed, so when passing by Liu Er's house, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but he heard Liu Er's family crying there.
"Why can that old woman take that little girl to live for so long, I can't use it if I want to, and I don't want to leave, but I want to raise more chickens, and when I build the school, I will ......return it."
Carambola instantly understood that this Liu Er's family saw that she and her grandmother had lived in the idle small courtyard for two months, and felt psychologically unbalanced, and they were playing the idea there, probably because they wanted Second Uncle Liu to go and talk to the village chief, but Second Uncle Liu refused to go, so he fought with Second Uncle Liu.
"Momoko, it's none of your business, let's go home first!" Aunt Lu was afraid that Liu Er's family would say something unpleasant again, so she hurriedly let the star fruit go first.
Star fruit nodded, as long as Liu Er's family didn't come to her specifically to find her or grandma's bad luck, she didn't bother to pay attention to her! And from what I said just now, I also knew that the Liu Erjia had scruples about making cloth stickers, and he didn't dare to scold it.
Aunt Lu whispered something to Liu Cheng again, Liu Cheng nodded, and ran away.
Carambola knew that Aunt Lu probably asked the second girl to find the village chief and other old people again, after all, this involved the affairs of the village, and the person from the Liu Er family sprinkled it, and it was impossible to find a few more people.
In the evening, Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu took Liu Cheng and Xiaoyu to talk to grandma, and several children were playing in the yard, while grandma and Aunt Lu and Aunt Liu were talking in the house.
While playing with Liu Cheng and Xiaoyu and kicking sandbags, star fruit also had a general understanding from the sound of talking in the house, and sure enough, it was the same as she thought, that Liu Er's family, because she saw that she and her grandmother could go there to live for a while, and wanted to fight the idea of the small courtyard.
But this time she is still making trouble in vain, the old man Mo of the village has agreed with a few old men that even if the school is not covered for the time being, everyone will go to that small courtyard to learn things and listen to stories in the future, so there is no need to run to their house again.
That's fine! Originally, the small courtyard was located in the middle of the village, and all the children in the village were not too far to get there, unlike her house, and some had to walk a long way.
Originally, when there were only a few people waiting for the second girl, they used the small stools at her house, but since the last time they were busy with the wheat harvest, almost all the children in the village came to her house to listen to the story.
Therefore, as long as she moved the two long sheets for writing prepared by her family for the children, which was specially made by the carpenter master this time, and it was not of much use at home.
On the second day, Grandpa Mo found two young offspring and came to the carambola's house to move a few elders.
"Grandma Skimming, let the children use this for the time being, and when our school is built, I'll get it back for you." Grandpa Mo said politely.
"Hey! If you don't want to get it back, just give it to the children! It's not easy for us babies. When a new school is built, I still invite a gentleman from the town to teach everyone seriously, maybe one or two of them will be born. Grandma said with a smile.
"It's nothing that doesn't come out, you also passed by, I think it's better to live in this village, but it's true that the children can understand more truth." Grandpa Mo sighed.
Such a concept, star fruit seems to have heard Aunt Lu talk about it once. In fact, although grandma said so, she must be tired of the flashy but unstable rich life.
War has caused the most suffering and is the most indelible.
"Grandpa, when are we going to build a new school!" Star fruit asked with a little face.
She was deliberately pretending to be naïve, but in fact, she knew very well that there had been no such thing as a school in the village, and there were no more than two reasons.
First, because the wheat was about to be harvested, and second, the men's vegetable gardens had no income, so they couldn't build a new school, and they all used the money earned by the women, which was really a slap in the face of the men in the village.
"I'll cover it after autumn." Grandpa Mo's answer was exactly the same as what star fruit thought.
And star fruit knows that I am afraid that after autumn, not only will schools be built in the village, but many families will build new houses. Therefore, in the days from the wheat harvest to the autumn harvest, you have to hurry up and make money! (To be continued......)
