Chapter 7: Dong's Father's Eccentricity
"This, Dad is not with us, isn't it not good, we two children, Dad knows that he will be angry." Qingfeng looked embarrassed.
"Brother Qingfeng, let's not tell them, so as not to make them worry, in this way, we will come back early. If you don't go, I'll go alone. Bai Jiaojiao said arrogantly. Bai Jiaojiao knew very well in her heart that Qingfeng would definitely follow her.
"Okay, then let's go early and come back early." He said hurriedly.
"Don't rush this time, prepare to go again tomorrow." Bai Jiaojiao calmly patted him on the shoulder.
"That's it, don't tell my father, he knows he's going to scold me." In the evening, we sat around the table to eat, Qingfeng went to the field to pick some radishes, came back to pickle, Bai Jiaojiao sat at the table as a bowl of porridge, took chopsticks and ate in small bites.
Tang wiped his hands on the apron, untied the apron, and said to me: "Don't be in a hurry to eat, your brother will come back in a while, bring a radish, I will pickle it, and it will not be too late to eat again." ”
In my mind, because I was thinking about going to the mountains tomorrow, I didn't listen too much to Tang's words, and I was secretly distracted, but Qingshui Village was located in the mountains, which was a village at the foot of the mountain, because rice only produced one season, and the yield was so immortal, and Qingshui Village was because the soil on the mountain was thinner, so the yield of rice was lower than that of other villages, so no one in the village wanted to get a national reward.
These situations have been observed in the shadows these days, but they have also given me a better understanding of the agricultural situation in my own village, and even the agricultural situation in the whole country.
"Xianggong, Qingfeng has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come back, it won't be an accident. Why don't you take a look? ”
"Wanniang, don't worry, I'll go and take a look." As he spoke, he got up and wanted to take a look, but as soon as he walked to the courtyard, Uncle Zhang next door hurriedly ran over. "Mingxuan, go and take a look, your family Qingfeng is fighting with Liu Er in the field, you go and take a look."
"What's going on?" Tang asked hurriedly, and after speaking, he saw his uncle raise his leg and go out. Uncle Zhang also followed.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that Liu Er said a few nonsense words and ridiculed your Jiaojiao a few words, and the breeze beat him to the head and bleed." After speaking, he was very embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Tang. Bai Jiaojiao was very angry after hearing this, people sat in the house, but disaster fell from the sky, it was really unlucky, Tang was also very angry, and it was not a taste in his heart, in order to blame himself for not protecting his daughter well.
Bai Jiaojiao was also going out to look for them, but Tang grabbed her, "Don't go out yet, if you go, the scene will only be more embarrassing, you are at home, I will take a look, good, we will come back in a while." ”
Bai Jiaojiao bit her lip, knowing that her mother was also good for her, and she was afraid that she would be sad, so she really shouldn't run to make trouble at this juncture.
"Mother, go, don't worry about me." Tang also hurriedly walked out.
After a while, Qingfeng and they came back, Qingfeng's face was a little injured, and he only heard Dong Mingxuan say, "Go get some potion, don't tell your sister about this matter, so as not to worry her." ”
"I see." Qingfeng covered his wounds and went into the house.
"Brother, what's going on? Why is there still a fight, it shouldn't be like this. ”
"It's okay, it's just that there were a few quarrels, don't worry." Qingfeng said, Bai Jiaojiao hurriedly took the medicine and applied it to his face, in Bai Jiaojiao's eyes, he was just a teenager.
Tang glanced at Bai Jiaojiao with some carelessness, "Yiyi, after eating, you go back to the house first." ”
She knew that there was something she had to say, and she didn't want herself to hear it, so she put down her chopsticks and went to the house.
"What's going on today?" Tang asked.
"It's not that Liu Er's kid said wildly, saying that Yiyi is a drag oil bottle, and sooner or later he will get married, so it is better to marry him." Qingfeng said angrily. Liu Er, who is in his twenties and has not married, is a bastard, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and is used to being a bad person, and what he says is also obsessed.
"What a bastard, I will call Li Zheng to comment on the theory another day, so as not to tarnish Yiyi's reputation." Even Uncle Dong, who has never liked to talk about it, covered his mouth and secretly shed tears.
"Wanniang, don't be sad, this matter is really annoying, I will call Li Zheng to come over, I will make that bastard apologize, besides, you married me, you are already wronged, Yiyi is my daughter, I will defend him, do not let him tarnish his reputation, she is still young, and she has not reached the age of marriage, even if she is engaged, she will not find someone to marry casually, and then I still want you to give long eyes." Dong Mingxuan hugged Tang and comforted.
Tang is also afraid that Yiyi has no one to rely on, and his brother and stepfather are very good to him like this.
Hearing Mingxuan say this, he was relieved, and he stopped crying after wiping his tears in Dong Mingxuan's arms. On the second day, Dong Mingxuan called Li Zheng over and said this, Li Zheng scolded, "This bastard should be dealt with, it was safe in the early years, but it has become more and more troublesome in recent years." ”
called his son and pulled Liu Er over, "I didn't say anything, it's just a few jokes, why bother, we are from a village, is it difficult to help outsiders bully me?" Liu Er's posture really made people angry.
"You villain, you're talking nonsense that I cut your mouth, that's my sister, although it's a foreign surname, it's not something you can climb indiscriminately." Qingfeng couldn't help but scold this bastard.
"Uncle Li Zheng, like this today, I should give an explanation, Tang is my wife, Yiyi is my daughter, my daughter is serious and suffers from this grievance, she is still young, but her reputation is not unwanted, Liu Er is full of nonsense, when the time comes, it will not be for our father and daughter to be separated, I know, and it is not a person who wants to say this, but I married my late mother, and there is no reason for him to suffer in vain." Dong Mingxuan said.
"He did something wrong, and I will make him apologize." After speaking, he glared at Liu Er viciously, thinking that this Tang clan was very favored. To tell the truth, when his grandson is about to reach enlightenment, Dong Xiucai can just help teach him, and in the future, he may be able to eat royal food.
At this time, you can't let Liu Er do anything bad, it's hard to say when the time comes, wouldn't it be a plain expectation. Quickly making Liu Er apologize is the first choice at the moment.
"Look at reason, don't look at feelings, your mistake is wrong, apologize quickly, Dong Xiucai is not the kind of rude." Compared with Liu Er's laipi, it is still Dong Xiucai's understanding of how to deal with the world, naturally, they will feel that Dong Mingxuan's approach is not excessive, just to have an explanation, there is really nothing wrong with it.
I have to secretly sigh that Tang's mother and daughter are really good lives, the stepson maintains, even the men protect them like this, the stepson is still full of scars for his sister, and the stepfather is also making trouble for the sake of justice.
Liu Er also knew that he was unreasonable, and he was pressing it again, and he really had to apologize, and he really apologized. It's a matter of the past. I didn't say anything when I got home, but in short, for such a person, it was really worth it.
This time, if Qingfeng hadn't been slapped in the face, Bai Jiaojiao wouldn't have cared.
However, it made Bai Jiaojiao see clearly that Dong Mingxuan is indeed a good person. Although she will not leave her mother, Dong Mingxuan is so fond of her, this family will be better. Now I'm a little distressed, Qingfeng, the little brother, is obviously a child himself, but he still protects me, an old monster.
Such a day came to November, and it was about to be the New Year, and I wanted to go to Meiwu to see if there was anything good, after that kind of thing happened, Tang tightly banned Bai Jiaojiao's itinerary for a while, only when things no longer became a joke for others, her mother lifted her ban, and she could come out and go to the mountains to let go with her uncle Qingfeng.
These days, thanks to himself, he is not without nothing to do, otherwise, he really can't help it, these days, the little grandchildren of the Lizheng family will come to the house from time to time to study, most of them are taught by Uncle Dong, but a small part, the teaching is still Bai Jiaojiao watched him practice, uncle They will go to the field to farm, and the mother is not busy, occasionally she will help others sew some clothes in some spare time, barely earn some money.
"Uncle, at such a time, how can there be so many holes, it looks like there is meat to eat today." It's almost winter, and these little animals are preparing food for the winter.
"We can catch a female rabbit, and next year, maybe we can give her a litter of baby rabbits, give her some vegetable leaves, and maybe you can eat meat for a winter." Qingfeng said excitedly, and at this time, Bai Jiaojiao seemed to say, "How can you eat rabbits." But I still couldn't bear to say it, and when I thought about it, it was goosebumps all over my body, so it was a bad cold.
"If there is a wild boar in this mountain, you can also go back to one, and you can also have a meal during the New Year, thinking that you haven't eaten meat for a long time." ”
Think about the drooling look, we around these holes, look, there are really two rabbits in it, look at the little rabbits, with a shovel to dig the surrounding soil, they turned and fled into another hole, scolded in my heart, finally know what is called the three holes of the cunning rabbit, these holes, probably are the masterpieces of these two rabbits, it is really cunning, so dig, all dug can not necessarily be caught, or to think of other ways.
"Qingfeng, or let's light a fire, leaving only a hole, where to catch it, we will definitely be able to catch it."
"Yiyi is so smart, we're like this." Said to do it, only left a mouth where, wait for a while, the rabbit really threw himself into the net, and caught them with a rope, so as not to run away and not catch it, the uncle found some herbs, the breeze cut some wild vegetables, in the past, the roots were pulled out together, next time I said, leave the roots we will grow again next time, we can eat again.
We carry the results on our backs, go down the mountain and go home, today's sunshine is exceptionally refreshing, the sunset is also extraordinarily beautiful, unconsciously, come here for almost half a year, these days, not bumpy, but extraordinarily idle clouds and wild cranes, such a lifetime is not impossible, but if, food and clothing are better to worry, but now it is also very good, look up at Uncle Dong and Qingfeng, and then think about the mother at home, the family is really good together. It's almost the Chinese New Year.
This is the second time to come to the market, it is still the same lively, last time it was only Yiyi and Uncle Dong, this time my mother and Qingfeng also came to the New Year's goods together, "Wan Niang, do you have what you want, do you want to eat something?" Dong Mingxuan said, Tang glanced at him, and he didn't speak, his mother was pregnant, and he only found out about it more than ten days ago, he thought that Uncle Dong already had a clear wind, and he should be very calm, but he didn't expect that he just knew that it was, and he was stunned.
When he woke up, he was ecstatic, and he treated his mother as a treasure, only letting her recuperate, and he did everything, even the meal. Being a daughter is also happy, in this way, it is really relieved, and Uncle Dong will only be better and better to their mother and daughter.
Happily bought New Year's goods, drove the ox cart to really carry home for the New Year, time passed quickly in the busy, in a blink of an eye it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the family happily gathered around to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. During the New Year, even the poorest families have to eat a better Chinese New Year's Eve meal. The rabbits caught in the mountains a few days ago happened to be eaten at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
Bai Jiaojiao is also ready to show her hand and cook a few dishes, after all, wearing this ancient time for so long, it is worth celebrating for the first time to be able to eat a Chinese New Year's Eve meal steadily. But after all, the ingredients are limited, and the original modern food cannot be made, so the existing ingredients can only be simply used.
