Chapter 17: Careful Thinking
Sure enough, meat appeared on the dinner table in the evening, fat, with plenty of oil and water, just smelling the fragrance, and several children in the family swallowed their saliva.
Zhang Jie was no exception, standing in front of Wang, holding the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, and his eyes were stunned to look at the big fat meat, but even the most greedy silver egg did not dare to grab it.
Well, the uncle's silver eggs are all used for dinner, and they don't know how to use chopsticks.
Generally speaking, the grandfather is in charge of all the big and small affairs in the family, but when it comes to the dinner table, who should eat, how much to eat, that is what grandma says. Therefore, there is meat on the plate on the table, but how to eat, how much should everyone eat, this has to be nodded by grandma, without grandma's permission, at this time, whoever dares to stretch out his claws, will not hesitate to be knocked on the head by grandma with chopsticks.
Wait for grandma to add a small piece of meat to each child's bowl, and then put two fast fat in the grandfather's bowl, and the remaining half of the plate is placed in front of the third uncle, this half plate must belong to the third uncle alone, and the child who has divided a small piece of meat can't be under the chopsticks, otherwise grandma will definitely give you the meat to be dialed down, and she won't talk about it at all.
Adults generally don't deliberately clip it, so that half of the plate of meat belongs to the third uncle and Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao naturally doesn't dare to clip it, but his father will take the initiative to put the meat in his bowl.
This has always been the rule of eating at home, and as long as you are still in this house, you can only abide by it.
What was distributed to Zhang Jie's bowl was a small piece of lean meat about the size of a fingernail, that is, a matter of stuffing between his teeth, and he originally wanted to give the meat to Wang, but after thinking about it again, just like that, even if he gave it to his mother, Wang would definitely clip it to himself.
Such a little meat, that is, enough to stuff the teeth, the staple food still has to eat the cake, Zhang Jie, an adult soul, naturally will not be like the other few children who finished eating the meat in the bowl, and then looked at the meat on the plate, picked up the cake and bit it hard, and when his mind was not full of meat, he sniffled again, and then noticed a foul smell wafting on the table.
It's stinky tofu, and then I remembered that the third aunt was holding two packages in her hands, and when she passed by herself, she smelled a foul smell, and now I know that it was this thing.
A large plate of stinky tofu is placed in the middle of the dining table, grandma has no limit to this thing, whoever wants to eat it can eat it, smelling the taste, Zhang Jie has no appetite to eat, and simply concentrates on gnawing his own bread.
The uncle on the side saw that the two children were always staring at the meat on the plate, so he sandwiched a piece of stinky tofu and put it in the mouth of the silver egg. Who pulled this poop, why is it so fragrant? Still eating, still eating. ”
The uncle saw that he was not looking at the meat on the plate, so he sandwiched a lot of it for him, probably because he saw the fragrant silver eggs, and several other children also rushed to eat them, and a plate of stinky tofu was bottomed out in a blink of an eye.
When he looked at the silver egg that he had been muttering and clamoring to eat, the uncle with a strange face said to the little aunt holding the child: "You watch him order it for the past two days, don't let him eat his own." ”
This is said at a high level, especially after seeing the uncle's serious expression, Zhang Jie really didn't hold back, and the cake in his hand fell directly to the ground.
When dinner was over, the sky was almost dark, the sun overhead had set, Wang and his grandmother were busy cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and the little aunt took a few children back to the house, and stood under the tree in the yard for a while, it was really boring, but if you go out at this time, it should be dark for a while, so she simply stood at the gate of the yard for a while.
At this time, the whole village is quiet, most of the bear children who have been crazy for a day have gone home to eat, the first few earth dogs in the village barked a few times, and there was no movement, and suddenly thought of the mulberry tree next to the yard, and I don't know if the mulberries on the tree were picked by those bear children.
I walked slowly to the bottom of the tree, and when I looked up, I saw that most of the mulberries on the tree were only blue, and as for the purple ripe, they were either high or on some thin branches that were not easy to climb.
It's a bit of a pity, it's not that I really want to eat it, it's just that I miss the fragrant and sweet taste. I remember that in that world, when I was a child, I used to eat it at my grandmother's house in the countryside, and no one cared about it at that time, so I would climb enough trees by myself, and I can't remember what the mulberries I ate a lot tasted like, but I remember that there was a smile on my face at that time.
Nearly 20 years have passed, and the taste of mulberry is no longer in my memory, and if I want to recall it, I can only taste it in my mouth and use my tongue to recall.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, and then he saw Zhang Hao running with excitement on his face, coming to Zhang Jie, and stretching out his little hand. A piece of greasy and greasy fat appeared in his hand and handed it to Zhang Jie, Zhang Hao said excitedly: "Brother, taste it, big fat meat, it's fragrant." ”
Looking at the piece of fat in Zhang Hao's hand in a daze, Zhang Jie didn't take it, but said with a slightly gloomy expression: "Why don't you send it to your mother?" Otherwise, give it to your brother Zhang Yan to eat. ”
"I've given it to them, there is still this piece left, I specially left it for you, the biggest and fattest piece, brother, eat it quickly, otherwise the golden egg and silver egg will definitely be snatched away by them." Zhang Hao, who was grinning, looked back nervously, for fear that the two gluttonous cats would catch up.
Turning his face and looking up at the mulberries on the tree, Zhang Jie suddenly said, "Haozi, do you want to eat mulberries?" Brother will pick it for you. ”
Zhang Hao, who was drooling, looked up at the top of the tree, and when he saw that most of the green mulberries were left on the top of the tree, he pouted and said, "That's not delicious, astringent." ”
Leaning his neck and looking carefully on the tree, after a while, Zhang Jie, whose eyes were bright, grinned, and then spat on his hand, and then came to the big tree, holding the thick trunk with both hands, jumping a little harder, and when the two feet were also wrapped around the tree, he climbed up the tree little by little like a gecko.
Zhang Hao at the bottom was holding fat meat in his hand, and looked at the door of the house from time to time, obviously afraid of being caught by the adults in the family, and when he looked up and saw that his cousin had climbed the old high, Zhang Hao, who had a thin voice, whispered: "Brother, it's too high, I won't eat it, you better come down." ”
Zhang Jie, who was sweating profusely on the tree, ignored him, and climbed straight towards the selected tree, and climbed along the tree for a while, and sure enough, he saw two strings of dark purple mulberries appear in front of him under the shade of a few leaves.
Reaching out and picking off the two strings of mulberries, Zhang Jie whispered to Zhang Hao below: "Haozi, catch it." ”
Slowly threw a string to Zhang Hao's side, but saw that the little boy in a panic raised his hand high, but he didn't catch the mulberry that fell from the top of his head, and the tempting mulberry fell to the ground all of a sudden. When the little boy bent down to pick it up, he grinned at Zhang Jie.
The remaining bunch didn't dare to be still, for fear that he wouldn't be able to catch it, so Zhang Jie opened his mouth, bit the branch of the mulberry with his teeth, held it in his mouth, and then began to move back little by little.
When his feet touched the ground, Zhang Jie, whose face was covered with sweat, slammed his face with his hands and arms, took the mulberry in his hand and handed it to Zhang Hao on the side. Zhang Jie, who smiled, said: "Here, brother exchange mulberries for the meat in your hands, and none of us will suffer." ”
The greedy little boy didn't care about this, handed the meat to Zhang Jie, and was about to eat the mulberries in his hand, but was stopped by Zhang Jie.
He pointed to the intact skewer, motioned for him to eat it, and then asked for the one that had fallen on the ground. Zhang Jie, who opened his mouth and filled the fat meat into his mouth, said with a smile while eating: "Well, it's so fragrant." ”
"Gluttony."
When the mouth was eating sweetly, a light voice suddenly reached his ears, Zhang Jie, who had just paid attention to the mulberries, didn't notice that there was someone nearby, and hurriedly raised his eyelids, and saw the figure of the little aunt who didn't turn her head back.
"Oh no, brother, my little aunt is definitely going to tell the truth, and if I let grandpa know that you climb a tree, I will definitely spank you." Zhang Hao, who didn't have time to taste it, hurriedly stuffed the mulberry into his mouth, and his little face was full of worry.
"It's okay, if it's someone else, we will definitely be beaten this time, little aunt is fine, you go home first, I'll tell her, let her help us keep it secret."
After admonishing Zhang Hao, Zhang Jie chased after the girl.
When he was parallel to his little aunt, he handed over a bunch of dirty mulberries in his hand, and Zhang Jie flattered: "Sister-in-law, I specially left it for you, eat it quickly, it's fragrant." ”
Who knew that people didn't even look at it, they were going home upright, and when they saw that the situation was not right, Zhang Jie immediately played a scoundrel, pulling the little girl's hand, and insisted on not letting people go, and when he saw the little aunt rolling her eyes at herself, Zhang Jie, who shoved the mulberry in her hand into her hand, said softly:
"It's not easy for me to change my family's impression of my naughty mischievous past, little aunt, if you sue me today, tell me if my efforts have been in vain."
finally took the mulberry in Zhang Jie's hand, and then looked at his little nephew for a while, and the little girl who had been expressionless on her face suddenly said:
"Then tell me, why are you in such a hurry to change your impression in the minds of your family?"
Zhang Jie was startled by this question, and slowly let go of the little girl's hand, it will be Zhang Jie's turn to look at the little girl directly, and when he saw the girl's big eyes that could reflect her own reflection but were just puzzled, Zhang Jie, who opened his mouth, smiled:
"Naturally, it's because I've grown up, I used to be a child, and I actually made my family angry, but now that I'm older, I naturally have to do what adults should do. I'm going to have to be very good. ”
Inserting his waist and learning to take two steps like an adult, I thought that Zhang Jie, who had passed the test in a fool's way, had not yet come to breathe a sigh of relief, but saw the girl with a sneer on the corner of her mouth and said disdainfully: "If you want to compete with Haozi for the place of Mengxue, just say it, do you think everyone else is a fool?" You're a genius yourself? ”
The girl's words made Zhang Jie excited, looked at her slightly dissatisfied little face in a daze, and Zhang Jie, who smashed his mouth, asked humbly: "How do you know...... Why, you're thinking too much. ”
"Do you really think everyone else is stupid? From the beginning of your abnormal beginning, from the beginning of playing acacia flowers, it makes people care a little about whether it is okay or not, six-year-old children, do you see whose six-year-old children are not wearing open crotch pants and throwing mud houses there, pretending to be a family, how can anyone please his family? Of course, you can say that you have learned these well, but since yesterday you took the initiative to play chess with the old man, and actually played with the old man for so long, do you think that as long as you are not a fool, who can't see your careful thoughts? You know, you've seen old men run away before. ”
Playing with the mulberry in her hand, Zhang Xia, who had a strange look on her face, suddenly said: "Forget it, what do you want to do and don't care about me, I don't bother to ask, this time I won't tell the old man that you climb the tree, but I will definitely tell my sister-in-law secretly, let your mother teach you a hard lesson, and see if you dare to climb the tree next time." ”
The girl who turned around and left hid the mulberry in her hand behind her, the mulberry was dirty, and she had to take it back to wash and eat it, but she had to be careful not to be discovered, otherwise she would definitely not be able to explain it clearly.
"This child belongs to a little fox. If you are in that world, there will definitely be another queen. Watching the little aunt enter the courtyard, looking up at the sun that had completely set, Zhang Jie, who was barefoot, muttered:
"Is it really that obvious?"
When I got home, sure enough, I found that Wang's eyes were very wrong when he looked at him, but he didn't want his little ass to suffer, and a big man, even if his soul was a big man, he couldn't stand the scene of being spanked by someone taking off his pants.
So Zhang Jie plans to take the initiative and solve the matter happily before his mother starts.
Cheekily approached the Wang family, and at this time he couldn't care much about it, anyway, it was his mother, and it was not unacceptable to occasionally lie back. Zhang Jie, who was lying in front of Wang with a worried face and holding the other party's hand, said coquettishly: "Mother, I know it's wrong, I want my mother to taste the mulberries on the tree, so I climbed the tree to pick them, and I won't dare to do it next time." ”
Who knew that Wang, who heard Zhang Jie's words, was suddenly stunned and said strangely: "You climbed a tree?" You, a child, only think that you have grown up, how to turn your face and become skinny. What happens if I fall from a tree? Just like you, the leg won't break for you. ”
Zhang Jie, who was holding Wang's thigh, suddenly said, "Mother, you don't know that I climbed a tree." After seeing Wang's strange eyes, Zhang Jie, who was like ashes, hung his head and said:
"Then what are you doing with a straight face, it's scary."
"Let me ask you, why don't you wear the shoes that my mother made for you? What do you do under the head of the bed? ”
When he knew why Wang looked at himself strangely, Zhang Jie felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and at this time, he happened to see his sister-in-law coming out of the kitchen returning to the house.
Zhang Jie, who was rolling his eyes, listened to Wang's nagging, and stared straight at the girl who walked away without squinting. When he saw the corners of the other party's mouth hooked up at the moment of disappearing, Zhang Jie couldn't help but sigh lightly: "If anyone gathers her in the future, she will really win the jackpot." ”
