Chapter 163: Crackling Firecrackers
Su Musha was also a little interested, so he slipped down from the shelf and followed Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi to the backyard.
The backyard of the old house is big enough, and the countryside is so good, the place is big, there are few restrictions, and you can toss it casually.
Mrs. Jiao often glanced at the backyard while frying lotus roots, after all, Jiao Yuan and Xiao Yuzi are both children in the city, not as monkey and leather as the children in the village, and the old lady is a little worried.
There is a big firewood pile in the corner of the backyard, and Su Musha and Hei Tan squatted on it, watching Jiao Yuan take a small grapefruit to set off firecrackers.
Jiao Yuan didn't dare to hold a small firecracker like a village child, so he poked a hole in the mud, inserted the small firecracker in it, and then lit it with incense with the little grapefruit.
When he changed the firecrackers with the other children just now, he deliberately chose a longer lead, so that there was enough time to run away after the light was finished.
The small firecracker that was lit made a "pop" sound, and Su Musha originally wanted to cover his ears, but it turned out that Jiao Yuan was indeed playing with a very small firecracker, probably because he was afraid of scaring people.
After Jiao Yuan and Xiao Yuzi happily ordered a few of them one by one, Xiao Yuzi suddenly held the incense and said to the black charcoal and Su Musha, who were squatting to watch the excitement: "Black charcoal, gray ball, do you want to play?" ”
Black Charcoal moved the tip of his tail, as if he was a little moved.
Su Musha didn't care, and happily jumped down from the firewood pile to pick up the incense handed over by Jiao Yuan.
Jiao Yuan also planted the small firecracker as before, and Su Musha grabbed the incense with one of his front paws, standing far away to reach the lead of the firecracker. As soon as the fuse was lit, he dropped the incense and turned to run. After all, he still had to run fast on all fours.
"Smack!" Small firecrackers went off.
Over there, Black Charcoal couldn't help but jump off the firewood, and Little Yuzu thoughtfully wrapped one end of the incense with a paper towel and handed it to Black Charcoal.
Black Charcoal lit the small firecracker that Jiao Yuan had planted with incense in his mouth, turned around and ran.
"Smack!" Another one was successfully ignited.
Mrs. Jiao happened to be using a colander to fish out a batch of lotus root clips that had just been fried from the oil pot, and when she was waiting to drain the oil, she saw the smallest "gray ball" playing with firecrackers, and suddenly her hand shook, and she almost shook out a few lotus root clips.
Before the old lady could put the lotus root clip that had been shaken to the edge of the colander inside, the black cat also set off a firecracker with incense in its mouth.
Bang, the big yellow dog squatting on the side saw a few pieces of lotus root clips fall to the ground, and happily flicked his tail to put the lotus root clip into his mouth, which was not too hot.
Because she saw the two pets setting off firecrackers, Mrs. Jiao was a little absent-minded next, and almost overfried the lotus root clip several times.
After lunch, the old lady still couldn't help mentioning this matter to Jiao's father, her own animals are smart, and she knows that it is okay, but she is seen in the village, and she meets someone with a broken mouth, so she probably has to cause some trouble.
After all, there are still a little superstitions in the countryside, even if the animals are smart, but if they are too smart, then they don't know what they will be arranged, and it is not a good thing.
Jiao's father called the two children and the two pets again, and took care of them again. In fact, there is nothing to instruct, the two children and the two pets all understand in their hearts, and it will be over after mentioning it again.
Anyway, Black Tan and Su Musha have also passed the addiction of firecrackers, and the convergence will be a little more convergent.
In the afternoon, Jiao's father found that the big yellow dog Lefora's poop was not very good, as if he had eaten it badly. If this is in Chuhua City, I am afraid that it is time to send it to the pet center as soon as possible.
However, in the countryside, cats and dogs are not so particular, Old Man Jiao came to take a look, Laifu flicked his tail and squatted there, and he couldn't see the malaise of running his stomach at all.
"It's okay, I guess it's because I've eaten too much in the past few days, just don't give him random food when I go back." Old Man Jiao waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Then you can't keep letting him squat here!" Dad Jiao looked at the big yellow dog guarding Mrs. Jiao, and he had to fry meatballs this afternoon, in case the old lady's hands shook a few times, the dog would have a "leak" to pick up!
"If this is tied to the family, he can hum and chirp for a long time...... Let's get out and play! Old man Jiao said, walked over and said that the big yellow dog who didn't want to walk away for half a step pushed out the door, "Play by yourself, and come back when you eat." ”
The big yellow dog was unwilling to "fight" with the old man a few times, and found that he was indeed not allowed to enter the door, so he turned his head and walked away.
"It doesn't lose its temper, does it?" Jiao's father looked at the big yellow dog that left worriedly.
"Lose your temper!" Old Man Jiao waved his hand, "Isn't this the pampered cats and dogs in your city, I heard that the cats and dogs in the city are very cautious and love to hold grudges?" What's your temper like? ”
"It's okay...... Jiao's father thought about it and held back three words. The small one is fine, the big one...... Possible...... It's hard to say......
"It's good for the family anyway!" Jiao's father added again.
Black Tan saw the big yellow dog going out for a walk over there, and couldn't help but follow it out, anyway, he was not afraid of getting lost when he went out with the big yellow dog.
Su Musha was not happy to go out, he found that he didn't eat much in the countryside. Not to mention the various "excitements" of cats and dogs running around for mice, even when they meet people, they also fight when they see them. Nonsense, I don't know what a pet is in this village, and I can't fight when I see a big gray mouse?
As for mice, hamsters or chinchillas, aren't they rats in their eyes, and there is no difference between a tail mouse and a big-tailed mouse?
Besides, Jiao's father just warned that he didn't dare to go out and mess with people. The people in the city can explain that this is trained. In the countryside, animals with human nature are either fairies or demons. Just at the shape of his gray mouse, no one believes that he is an immortal, and he will not be destroyed as a rat essence.
Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi didn't go out to play, they washed their hands and made dumplings with Jiao's mother. I had also studied with Jiao's mother a few times when I was in Chuhua before, so although the dumplings wrapped out were not the kind of white and fat and good-looking, they were at least dumpling-like, and they would not become strangely shaped dough lumps.
Su Musha was originally a southerner, and his family was not very attached to dumplings, and there was no rule that you had to eat dumplings on any festival. Including the Chinese New Year, eating some dumplings is just to join in the fun and ask for a mouthful. So it's over when you buy some quick-frozen ones in the supermarket, where to roll out the dough and wrap it yourself.
Su Musha squatted on the side of the cabinet to watch Jiao's mother roll out the dumpling skin, this was the first time he saw someone rolling the dumpling skin, Jiao's mother used to be busy in the kitchen when Chu Hua was making dumplings, and Su Musha generally didn't go in there.
The dough had been made before, and was kneaded into long strips and cut into small pieces of dough, covered with a damp cloth, perhaps for fear of air drying.
Su Musha saw Jiao's mother holding a rolling pin in her right hand and a small piece of dough in her left hand, pressing it, and then rubbing the rolling pin a few times, a round dumpling skin magically flew out from under her hand, stacked on the side and waited for Jiao Yuan and Xiaoyuzi to wrap the filling. Just like that, the dumpling skins were slowly folded into a pile, and Jiao Yuan and Xiao Yuzi couldn't catch up with her movements.
Jiao's mother's movements are very fast, and they are quite rhythmic, how to look at it, Su Musha looked at it over there, her eyelids slowly became heavier and heavier, and she couldn't help but fall asleep.
