Chapter 65 There is meat to eat, and there are troubles
Zhuang Zhuang and Liu Zhu are men, they don't like gossip by nature, and they have long gone into the grass shed to review their literacy. And Xiao Ju and Xiao Ju Niang entered the grass shed while talking slowly. After entering the grass shed, Xiao Ju Niang was imagining that she would close the door and make breakfast as usual, but she saw her daughter-in-law who lived on the right, holding the baby in her hand and walking towards this side in a hurry.
Because of the words of the Zeng family just now, Xiao Juniang unconsciously paid more attention to the family, so she leaned on the door and watched the young daughter-in-law go there. Unexpectedly, she walked directly to her house. Now Xiao Ju Niang is even more embarrassed to close the door.
Waiting for the young daughter-in-law to come to her, Xiao Ju Niang looked carefully, you know, everyone has been neighbors for a while, but the two families have no contact. That family, like Xiaoju's family, is not subject to raiding.
At this time, Xiao Ju Niang saw a young woman with red and swollen eyes, a scorched and withered face, but her facial features were very handsome, and although she looked polite, she looked like a young woman who was so weak that she could fall down at any time. Xiao Ju Niang was originally a kind-hearted person, but at this time, looking at the other party's appearance, she unconsciously said, "What's wrong?" How can I help? ”
"Eldest sister, I want to trouble you with something! My mother-in-law and father-in-law were both sick last night, very sick! My sister-in-law ...... again," the young daughter-in-law said this, paused, and finally did not say what happened to the sister-in-law.
But when Xiao Juniang thought of the words of the Zeng family, there was nothing she didn't understand. didn't talk much, just looked kindly at the daughter-in-law holding the baby in front of him.
"Eldest sister, I can't do it alone, can you please help me take care of my son!" The young daughter-in-law saw that Xiao Juniang's face was very kind, and then thought of her father-in-law and mother-in-law lying at home, and finally gritted her teeth and pleaded to say this.
"No problem! Your son will leave me at home for a few days! Everyone is a neighbor, and they all say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and it is appropriate to help each other! Xiao Ju Niang tried her best to soften her voice, for fear of intimidating the daughter-in-law in front of her.
"My surname is He, my name is Yuanyuan! My son is just over seven months old, and his nickname is Po. Not long after he was born, he fled with us! Yuanyuan's red and swollen eyes began to cry again. Some reluctantly looked at the baby in their arms again and again. Only then did he hand it to Xiao Ju Niang.
Xiao Ju Niang carefully took over Ah Bao, who was tightly wrapped in a small quilt, and gently lifted the cloth that covered his face in order to prevent him from blowing the wind, and a small face that was so thin that only a pair of big eyes entered Xiao Ju Niang's eyes.
Maybe he was so hungry that he didn't have much strength, but the big eyes just glanced at Xiao Ju Niang, and then closed lazily again, and at the same time his mouth made a few kitten-like meows.
Yuan Yuan saw Po's appearance, and the tears began to fall even more fiercely. At the same time, he coaxed and said, "Bao, you obediently listen to your aunt!" Grandparents are sick, and when they get better, my mother will come to pick you up! ”
How can a child who is only more than seven months old understand his mother's thoughts? Therefore, when Yuanyuan said these words, he was still lying quietly in Xiao Ju Niang's arms. Nothing happened. Yuan Yuan looked at his son several times with some reluctance, and then thought of the two patients in the family, so he pounced and knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Juniang twice, "Sister Liu, I'm sorry for you!" ”
Without waiting for Xiao Ju Niang to react, she whimpered and got up and ran towards her house. Xiao Juniang looked at Ah Bao in her arms and sighed. Entered the hut and closed the gate.
Chrysanthemum. Zhuang Zhuang and Liu Zhu had already heard what Ah Bao Niang begged Xiao Ju Niang just now, and they were all a little curious around Xiao Ju Niang at this time. Looking at Po in her arms.
Zhuang Zhuang looked at Bao's sipping mouth with some curiosity, and asked puzzledly: "Mother, look at his little mouth, how does it move around?" ”
"Stupid, I'm hungry, I'm looking for something to eat!" Xiao Ju stretched out her hand and knocked on her strong head, and said proudly.
Zhuang Zhuang hadn't been knocked on the head by Sister A for a long time, and he didn't react at once, and when he woke up, he immediately complained to his mother: "Mother, Sister knocked on my head again!" When I get stupid, it's my sister who knocked me! ”
Who knew that Xiao Juniang didn't pay attention to these two people at all, and focused on Ah Bao who was holding in her hand, "It seems that Ah Bao is hungry!" Don't worry, Auntie will make you a paste to eat! Feed you to your heart's content! ”
Xiao Ju looked at her mother's demeanor, and said to Zhuang Zhuang with some schadenfreude: "Haha, Zhuang Zhuang, you have fallen out of favor!" ”
"What does it mean to fall out of favor?" Zhuang Zhuang didn't understand.
"It's just that my mother prefers Po!" Xiao Ju gave him a helpless look.
Zhuang Zhuang was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Ju Niang's clothes, Xiao Ju Niang stared at Xiao Ju angrily, "Zhuang Zhuang, don't listen to your sister's nonsense!" You are my son, my heart is the flesh of my heart, Ah Bao is Aunt He's son, and my mother just helps her take care of her for a few days. ”
As soon as Zhuang Zhuang heard this, he smiled at Xiao Ju a little proudly, and at the same time made a grimace, which made Xiao Ju amused, but also a little more relieved, it seems that Zhuang Zhuang is starting to be a little childlike again.
Xiaoju quickly cooked the breakfast of several people in the family, and then under the guidance of her mother, she helped Ah Bao boil a pot of batter, and also steamed an egg for him.
After Xiao Ju and a few people finished breakfast, they began to watch Xiao Ju Niang feed Bao, Xiao Ju was curious, she was a human being in two lives, and she had never really brought such a small child, and Zhuang Zhuang was fresh, and finally there was a smaller one than him in the family, although he couldn't be bullied, but he was upgraded to a brother.
It seems that Ah Bao is really hungry, and the little man actually drank a small bowl of paste, and ate the small bowl of steamed water, so he smacked his mouth with satisfaction and fell asleep. Liu Zhu saw that the second sister's family was staring at Ah Bao, and forgot that they had discussed yesterday that they were going to chop firewood for the winter today, and said helplessly: "Second sister, I'll go out to chop firewood!" ”
"Uncle, wait for me! Let's go with the two of us! Bring some leftover bread from the morning so we don't have to come back at noon! Xiao Ju said as she lifted the lid of the pot and took the cake.
"I'm going too! It's okay for my mother to take Po at home! When Zhuang Zhuang heard that Sister and Uncle were going to leave him behind, he was a little anxious.
Xiao Ju raised her eyes and looked at her mother, Xiao Ju Niang nodded and said, "It's okay to let Zhuang Zhuang help!" However, Zhuangzhuang, you have to listen to your sister and brother-in-law, and don't run around! ”
Zhuang Zhuang heard that he could follow, and his mouth was full of voices, and he didn't listen to what his mother said at all. Xiao Ju Niang saw Zhuang Zhuang excitedly looking for firewood knives in the grass shed, funny and a little sad, it is really a poor child's early master, Zhuang Zhuang is so old, he always wants to help the family do things. Children from rich families may not understand anything at this age, and they will only pester adults.
Soon, under the leadership of Liu Zhu, Xiaoju and Zhuang Zhuang came to the mountain forest far away from their home, where the wood for building the grass shed was cut. Today they don't cut down trees, they cut down dead branches on trees.
Xiao Ju was light, condensed the qi in her body to her feet, and climbed up the tree very quickly. So the work of climbing trees and cutting down trees belonged to her. Zhuang Zhuang put the trees she cut down into a pile, and Liu Zhu was responsible for tying up the straw ropes.
Xiaoju not only climbs trees quickly, but also chops branches quickly, and by the afternoon, a large number of nearby trees have been cleared by her. And Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang couldn't keep up with her speed at all. In the end, she simply received the space while chopping. By the time she stopped, the space was already filled with firewood that could burn at home for a year or two.
Xiao Ju saw that Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang were still far away from her to pick up firewood and bundle firewood, so she dodged into the space to take a bath, drink water and eat peaches. You know, after chopping firewood for so long, I sweated all over my body. She didn't want to make herself stink anymore.
When Xiaoju made herself refreshed and her stomach was round, Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang were still busy in the same place.
Xiao Ju sighed, at the speed of these two people, they couldn't finish it all night today. As she walked back, she collected the firewood confiscated on the way back into the space. In just ten minutes, Xiao Ju collected all the bundled and unbundled firewood in the forest, Liu Zhu and Zhuang Zhuang looked at the forest that was still full of dry trees just now, and it was clean and clean at this time, and they were greatly hit, but after thinking about it, wouldn't they save trouble? No one else can enjoy this kind of blessing!
The nephew and uncle, who lacked heart, were depressed for less than half a minute, so they took the cake and water handed over by Xiaoju with a smile and ate it. After filling her stomach, Xiao Ju also used her fast skills to catch two rabbits and hit a pheasant, which made Zhuang Zhuang so happy that he circled around Xiao Ju, "Sister, great!" There's meat to eat tonight! ”
Even Liu Zhu looked happy, "I haven't smelled meat for several years!" Today, thanks to Xiaoju's blessing, I can actually eat meat! ”
"You can eat meat every day from now on! You don't know, but there are a lot of wild creatures in the depths of this forest! Xiao Ju was also a little proud, but she didn't expect that even the rabbit ran as fast as her. In the future, won't you catch rabbits and pheasants?
"Sister, really?" Zhuang Zhuang immediately looked at Xiaoju with a flattering face, hoping to be affirmed again.
"When did Sister lie to you!" Xiao Ju touched his head a little funny.
In order not to attract attention, Xiao Ju put the rabbit and pheasant into the space, and the three of them happily turned around and went home.
Xiao Ju Niang looked at the three of them who had been smirking since they came back, and couldn't help but ask with some worry, "What's wrong?" I haven't stopped since I came back, and I haven't stopped looking at the smirk on the faces of the three of you! ”
"Mother, there is meat to eat tonight!" Zhuang Zhuang mysteriously leaned into his mother's ear and whispered.
"What? Where does the meat come from? Xiao Ju Niang was really taken aback now.
"Sister caught two rabbits and a pheasant in the forest today!" Zhuang Zhuang is a little proud.
"Xiaoju, what your brother said is true?" Xiao Ju Niang didn't believe it and asked Xiao Ju for confirmation.
"Of course it's true! But I'm worried, if I boil the chicken in the shed, the smell of the chicken will definitely spread, and then the neighbors will come to investigate, and it will be troublesome! Xiao Ju frowned a little worriedly. It's okay now, because of Xiaoju's words, several people in the family are also worried. In this day and age, having meat to eat is also a nuisance!
