1.3 The mother wants to get married
"Brother Dun'er, is your head better?" As I walked along the road, familiar playmates gathered around.
"Much better, Bean. It's just that there are some things that I can't remember. But the doctor said it would get better slowly. Fusing the original memory, the little fat man immediately remembered something related to the yellow-haired girl in front of him.
"Whoever told you to climb so high said that the old tree was not pressurized, but you didn't believe it. As a result...... he was planted from such a high place, "a half-grown boy whose head was a head taller than him was his cousin, and he aspired to become the second hunter in the village."
"My brother knows it's wrong." The little fat man replied with a grin.
"Third brother, I haven't seen you for many days, but you can come out. Although my brother was not present that day, I also heard that it was extremely thrilling. Those who know their fate do not stand under the rock wall, so don't be greedy for fun in the future, and read more sage books. The man who spoke was almost an adult, dressed in a white-washed robe, and although his face was reproachful, the concern on his face was genuine. It is Liu Bei's eldest brother.
"Got it, big brother." The little fat man hurriedly saluted. The young and the old are orderly, and the little fat man does not dare to slack off.
Seeing that the little fat man was fine, the eldest brother went home to study the sages hard. However, the second brother, who was about the same age as him, and some clan friends stayed.
"Second brother, do you know where there is a cockfight?" It's all children, and the little fat man has something to say.
"That's going to wait for the village community."
The so-called village shrine refers to the day or grand event of the shrine god. Similar to Fengji. Time was obviously too late, and the little fat man asked without giving up, where else to go?
"It's especially in the city." The second brother with two clear snots didn't think twice.
"Forget it." The little fat man was unhappy. It's not easy to get into the city. The mother goes out early and returns late, or takes the clan ox cart, and she is a half-old child, and she wants to go to the city to fight cocks, so she can't expect it at all.
"Sandun, why don't you pick mulberry dates and eat them?" Wiping his snot indiscriminately, Liu Erbadger pouted.
"Forget it. I eat mulberries every day, and I'm going to throw up. The little fat man grimaced that he was about to vomit.
"Otherwise, we're going to poke the hive down?" Yes, we all know that the curve saved the country. As long as you go up the tree, you can eat the mulberry fruit if you don't want to eat it.
"Didn't I fall badly enough?" The little fat man waved his hand angrily. The plan to support his family died halfway, what kind of face can he have at this time.
"It's a pity, according to you, mulberry dates dipped in honey must be extremely delicious." Yes, the second brother is also a foodie.
"Dip it in honey ......" the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. The little fat man was very happy, and suddenly had an idea. "Let's go, go pick mulberries!"
Everyone was overjoyed and chased after them with cheers.
Fruit picking still needs the owner's approval, it seems that the old tree belongs to the little fat man's family?
Tree climbing is a natural skill for country children. In addition to the beans with the total horns, the friends climbed the branches like monkeys and picked them skillfully. While wrapping it around with a short beaten, he kept stuffing his mouth. The black-red juice trickled down the chin and dripped all over the chest.
The bean girl pouted, until the little fat man threw down a fruity twig, and some of the girls who ate finally changed their faces.
Suddenly there was a loud whip in my ears, and I looked up in a hurry to see an ox cart coming from the far away of the village.
The old servant who drove the car, the little fat man, seemed to have an impression, but he couldn't remember anything. When the ox cart stopped in front of his house, a middle-aged man in Confucian clothes stepped off from behind the car, and the little fat man blurted out, "Uncle! ”
"Dun'er, where is your mother?" The middle-aged man with a beard is the eldest brother of his mother.
"Grandma is at home, and Uncle is going by himself." The little fat man's smile was a little unnatural.
"Okay, forget the scar and forget the pain, don't climb too high." After a few words, the man entered the front yard through the small door.
The conversation between the two had apparently been overheard by the mother, who had gotten up and gone down the porch.
"Big brother has worked hard." Mother Yingying salutes.
"The girl is bitter." The person who came said and handed over the fruit gift in his hand, "It's all your usual favorite food." ”
"Brother Xie, I'm worried." The little woman took it reservedly and beckoned, "Big brother, please sit in the hall." ”
The guest and the host sat down, and after a little silence, the man coughed lightly and said, "Brother Hong died young, and I am sorry for my brother." However, the past cannot be admonished, but the coming can still be chased. When you have been keeping it for a year, my father has sent me to ask you what you are going to do. ”
"What is my father's plan?" The woman's expression was unwavering, and she didn't seem surprised.
"Today, there is the Zhang family of Zhuo County, the family is very rich, widowed a few years ago, the special agent said, I would like to continue you as a wife......"
"But Zhuoxian Zhang Tu?" The mother seems to know.
"It's exactly ......" The man was relieved, and was about to speak, but saw the woman bowing to him: "My little sister once heard: Once you are with it, you will not change for life." It is also known that innocence and observance are chaste. Isn't it because my father gave me the name of 'chastity'? ”
"Little Sister ......" Although the man is poor in words, his meaning is firm. Since childhood, I have read the books of the sages, and naturally understand these great truths. But can the truth be eaten as a meal? My own sister-in-law, how can I save her from the fire pit now.
After reading it left and right, he persuaded bitterly: "The Liu family is a famous family, the elders of the clan can also be called leisurely, the family is prosperous and harmonious, and there have been no rumors for decades. Leaving Dun'er to his uncle to raise, he will not be aggrieved in the future. You have been pampered since childhood, although you can't talk about fine clothes and food, but you also respond to your needs, and you have never suffered half of it...... Now that the family is surrounded by walls, why can it last for a long time? ”
"Why didn't my father ask me when he married me?"
"You ......" the manly knotted and paused heavily: "(That) Brother Shihong is a talent, and he is filial piety at the age of twenty, and his father is the ...... of Dongjun Fan (County) Ling."
"So it was." The woman sighed, her expression resolute and bowed: "What the eldest brother said, the younger sister already knows." It's a long way to go, so please go back. ”
"Little sister!" Seeing that the woman could not bow down for a long time, and knew that he could not screw her, the person who came got up and went away indignantly.
Come with a smile and go angrily. Leaving the ox cart in the distance, the little fat man sighed again.
"Sandun, why did your uncle come and leave?"
"If you don't speculate, if you don't leave, do you stay at my house and drink the northwest wind?" The little fat man picked enough mulberries and carefully slid down the tree.
There is no iron pot at home, and the porridge is cooked in clay pots.
After thinking about it, he immediately went straight to the lobby, wanting to use the copper basin for washing his face.
The mother's expression was as usual, and when she saw the little fat man rushing in, she couldn't help frowning, "Why don't you take off your shoes?" ”
"Hurry up and do the right thing!" Pulling the copper basin with difficulty, the little fat man shouted.
Poof! The young woman couldn't help laughing, and then she got up and took off the copper basin, "What's the urgency?" ”
"Don't ask, Auntie, everything will be known." The little fat man puffed out his cheeks and squeezed a few words out between his teeth.
"So, what do you need to do for your mother?"
The little fat man never seemed so excited. Seeing that the friends also came around, he said loudly: "Add firewood, burn the fire!"
The little fat man thought of making jelly.
In front of the door, there are five zhang mulberries, and the branches are full of mulberries, and the food is inexhaustible. Justified use.
But lemons don't have them, and oranges won't be available for a while, so don't count on citric acid, and the quasi-industrial creation of gel will naturally not have it. As a result, the most important additives for jam and jelly cannot be obtained, so they have to find another way. It is not uncommon to boil mulberries into a paste alone, but they are condensed into lumps like tofu, which is the biggest selling point. Just like the popularity of tofu. In short, it is good to be boxy and stylish.
After thinking about it, the little fat man immediately yelled at Liu Er: "Second brother, do you have any meat skin at home?" ”
