Chapter 5 Amplification Moves
The door was quiet again, Meng Tao waited for a while, got off the bed, the swelling on the back of his head was almost gone, there was no discomfort on his body, his eyes were not dizzy, his head was not painful, and he moved freely.
She picked up the cup and opened the door and went out, and went to the hall in the middle to find a kettle and pour boiling water to drink.
Drinking water is secondary, and she mainly went to find one thing - the sticky grass that Wang Shuifeng said.
Let you engage in conspiracies and set traps to harm people, and your aunt and grandmother will also make a big move, wait and see!
As the saying goes, a long illness becomes a good doctor, Wang Shuifeng gave birth to seven children in a row, the body is lost, but the child's small family is so poor that he can't open the pot, it is impossible to rely on only one Tian Agui, Wang Shuifeng in the early years also had to work in the fields to earn work, and when she went home, she had to take care of the children to do housework, and her body collapsed for a long time, this disease, that disease, gynecological diseases, etc., and there was no money to go to the hospital, so she had to find a local doctor in the countryside to eat herbs, but I didn't expect to give her a good meal, and she slowly got to know a lot of herbs, and often picked up some herbs to dry and concoct them and put them away, If you save more, you can also take it to the acquisition station for a little money, Meng Taohua entered the Tian family, Wang Shuifeng wanted to support her to work all the time, and always felt that it was a waste of labor to let her be idle, so the matter of drying and cleaning up the herbs was handed over to Meng Taohua most of the time.
So Meng Taohua not only knew where Wang Shuifeng collected herbs, but also knew some herbs, in memory, not long ago Wang Shuifeng picked back three plants that he had never seen, and taught Meng Taohua to take them to dry, but he didn't tell her what the effect of this plant was, but he told her that she couldn't put it in her mouth to taste, and she couldn't smell it, and she couldn't die if she died, and there would be big and ugly things!
Now that I think about it, that plant must be a sticky grass that can make people get out of control, and it must not be far from ten.
There was no one in the hall, so Meng Tao put the cup on the table in the hall and looked up at the wooden building.
After Wang Shuifeng coaxed 300 yuan from Meng Taohua's hand, he renovated the Tianjia courtyard house, and the three main houses were also renovated, replaced with new tiles, and added a layer of wooden buildings, the wooden building is divided into two sides, one side is the place where Tian Lao Liu and Tian Lao Qi sleep, and the other side is stacked with sundries, and Wang Shuifeng's herbs are also on it.
Meng Tao quickly went up from the wooden ladder on the left, walked lightly across the wooden floor, and walked to the back of a window hole dug in the earthen wall, where a large number of herbs were stored, Meng Tao rummaged carefully, and finally found a brown paper bag in the corner of the window hole, opened it carefully, and there were three sun-dried black herbs inside, this is the herb that Wang Shuifeng asked Meng Taohua to dry and store separately - sticky grass.
The three herbs were still intact when Meng Taohua was harvested, and now one of them is missing two leaves.
Meng Tao sneered: Did you use two leaves to make the custard for her? Well, there are so many of them that they simply used all three!
By the way, I took a detour and went to the place where Tian Lao Liu and Tian Lao Qi slept, the brothers were in junior high school, and often corresponded with the third brother Tian Zhigao, Meng Tao found a stack of letters from their old books, checked it roughly, and took away three letters from Tian Zhigao, which contained the address of Tian Zhigao's unit and information about the "sister-in-law in the city".
Usually, Tian Zhigao's family letter and the money sent back will directly write Tian Yalan's name, and there has never been anything about Meng Taohua, the reason is very simple, Meng Taohua's culture is low, and he will not read the letter, let alone reply to the letter.
And Meng Taohua is in the third grade, she may not be illiterate, she wants to read Tian Zhigao's letter, but Tian Yalan not only didn't give it to her, but also ridiculed her wantonly.
The family is a bad thing, so blatantly bullying Meng Taohua.
Put the letter into the space, go downstairs to the table in the hall, pick up the thermos and pour half a glass of water, listening to the bursts of laughter from the courtyard outside, Meng Tao walked behind the door and looked out.
It was the Tian family who gathered around the kitchen door, watching Shi Datou kill chickens and pluck feathers, gossiping and telling jokes.
In the novel, Shi Datou's father will put traps, and Shi Datou often takes a pheasant to honor his aunt Wang Shuifeng, so these two chickens should also be brought by Shi Datou today, quite two big pheasants, it is rare to have meat to eat in this era, these people are too happy, like a festival.
Listening to them, Meng Tao counted the heads by the way.
At this time, in this courtyard are Shi Datou, Tian Agui, Wang Shuifeng, Tian Xianglan, Liang Tiezhu and his wife, Tian Baoshan, Zhao Liulian and his wife, as well as the fourth child of the Tian family, Tian Zhiyuan.
In the novel, Tian Zhiyuan's temperament and personality are completely on par with Tian Zhigao, he is 21 years old this year in high Chinese, Tian Zhigao will find a very good work unit for him, Tian Zhiyuan believes that he has a bright future, so he is arrogant and arrogant, his eyes are empty and everything is not farming, all day long white shirt and black trousers shoes and socks are neat, I don't know that I think he is already a state cadre. The woman he is holding in his hand now is a girlfriend he just made, it seems to be called Du Meiqiu, handsome, and the village flower of the neighboring village, don't look at his affection for that girl now, and after entering the city, he will also have a virtue with Tian Zhigao, and he will marry the girl in the city directly.
The sixth and seventh children of the Tian family are both teenage boys, middle school students who live on campus, and they don't go home until the weekend.
Hearing Tian Agui ask Liang Tiezhu: "Why don't you bring the children to dinner?" ”
Before Liang Tiezhu squeaked, Tian Xianglan said quickly: "The eldest sister-in-law's family handed over a pre-purchased pig today, and in exchange for a meat ticket, she cut the meat, and asked two old things to eat, but they didn't say hello to us, and we didn't know it." Hum! Can we afford this? Just now, I asked Tiezhu to borrow a bicycle and sent the four children directly to her house, dare not give the children meat to eat, she looks good! ”
Wang Shuifeng poked his head out of the kitchen: "That's what you want to do, your sister-in-law is stingy, how can you eat meat and not invite your mother's brother?" When she gets angry at her in-laws' house, she doesn't want to go back to her parents' house to ask you to support her. ”
After speaking, he turned to Tian Baoshan and Zhao Liulian: "What about the eldest girl and the second girl?" ”
Tian Baoshan: "The sisters were too tired to play and slept." Mom, I'll cook the chicken and leave the chicken legs for them, and they won't be able to finish eating Lian'er - Lian'er is pregnant with your eldest grandson in her belly. ”
"Got it." Wang Shuifeng agreed.
Tian Baoshan was married to Meng Taohua after Tian Zhigao intervened in the door, and got the "bride price" and food given by Grandpa Meng, which was the daughter-in-law, and finally there was a woman in the singles house after many years, he really felt sorry for Zhao Liulian's daughter-in-law, Zhao Liulian gave birth to two girls in four years after entering the door, Wang Shuifeng was unhappy, but Tian Baoshan protected his wife tightly, and Wang Shuifeng was not allowed to say a word of complaint to his daughter-in-law.
And he is as fierce as a bully landlord to Meng Taohua, all the things that Zhao Liulian should do are called Meng Taohua to do, including all the clothes and child diapers of their husband and wife, all of which are called Meng Taohua to wash, Zhao Liulian also wants Meng Taohua to serve in the confinement, scolding and scolding if he is a little neglectful, screaming up in the middle of the night and hugging the crying child, and their husband and wife just hug their heads and sleep.
Meng Taohua may be a little cowardly, but Tian Baoshan and his wife are really not good people.
Meng Tao felt that something seemed to be missing in this group of people, and after looking carefully, it turned out that Tian Lao Wutian Yalan was missing.
Tian Yalan is one year younger than Meng Taohua, Meng Taohua didn't like to study since she was a child, her grandfather couldn't help her, so she let her go, but Tian Yalan studied until she graduated from junior high school.
18-year-old Tian Yalan looks quite neat, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes with pointed chin, proud like a peacock in the village, she has been a black-hearted since she was a child, in the middle and late stages of the novel, she did a lot of evil things, harmed many people, Meng Taohua entered the Tian family, and was hurt enough by her. Such a person actually lived well to the end, thanks to the fact that she had a pair of male protagonists and female protagonists and sisters-in-law, who covered all her sins.
Tian Yalan can't eat sticky grass, where did she go? Don't you see that there is meat to eat when you kill chickens at home?
Meng Tao muttered in her heart, returned to the room with a glass of water, took a few sips slowly, and then went out again, this time to go to the toilet in the backyard.
When Meng Taohua first entered Tian's house, Wang Shuifeng treated her as a new daughter-in-law for a few days, and was able to live in the west of the main house, and after taking all the things she had purchased for the newlywed, she said that the second brother Tian Baoshan wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, and directly let her vacate the room, and moved to this low hut built according to the gable of the main house.
The cottage is remote and the only good thing is that it's easy to get in and out of the backyard and no one can see it.
The backyard is a big vegetable garden, surrounding the back wall of the entire main house, Meng Tao entered from the right door, first went to the toilet, and then came out from the left door, walked along the root of the wall, under the cover of a pile of messy wood and firewood, and quickly walked to the back of the kitchen, here is the chicken coop and pigsty, usually Meng Taohua is serving, so the chickens and pigs saw Meng Tao, and did not make any special sound, Meng Taohua pretended to check whether there were eggs in the chicken pen, leaned out through the small window on the earthen wall to look inside...... Coincidentally, there is no one in the kitchen!
Everyone gathered at the door of the kitchen to grab the wild fruit that Shi Datou had brought from the mountains.
Now is the time!
Meng Tao's heartbeat ping-pong, the frequency has never been faster, it turns out that the feeling of doing bad things is so exciting, she leaned on the window and looked at the two big iron pots tumbling on the big stove below, one stewed chicken mixed with dried cowpeas, and one boiled Sanhe batter.
The Sanhe batter is gray, and the juice from the cowpea stew is also dark, which is about the same color as the herbal juice.
After finishing it, he quickly retreated, and while those people were still grabbing wild fruits, he hurriedly went back to the hut from the back vegetable yard.
She's ready to deal with it, even if they see her coming out and walking, then she's not afraid, who wouldn't tell a few words? But of course it's best not to be discovered.
Then it's a quiet drink of water and waiting for the egg soup.
