Chapter 12 The East is short and the West is short

The houses in Shiling Village are all built on the mountain, the road has nine bends and eighteen bends, although the houses look sparse, there are really a lot of people.

The Xu family lives in the middle of the village, which also proves that their family has been here for a long time, and generally new residents will build houses at both ends of the village, and those who are close to the middle of the village, and the houses and courtyards cover a large area, are all families who have been here for some years.

Xu Zhiyong carried those sharp branches, carrying two wooden barrels, in the barrel was Deng Alian's fishing basket made yesterday, Xu Jianlin was holding a wooden basin, Deng Alian was carrying a bamboo basket, they had to cut some pigweed when they went home, there were already wild vegetables on the mountain, picking some and eating them at home was also a dish, fresh wild vegetables tasted better than those dried vegetables.

Zhou Xiaomei wanted to carry Xu Hui on her back, but was refused: "When I can't walk, I'll let my mother carry it!" "I'm an adult in my bones, and things like carrying it on my back can be avoided.

Then hold hands, Zhou Xiaomei and her mother-in-law surrounded their daughters in the middle, Xu Zhiyong walked in front, Xu Jianlin walked in the end, teasing her sister as she walked, and asked her what fish she wanted to eat.

That's a lot, steamed sea bass, squirrel cinnamon fish, braised carp...... I seem to be thinking a little far, in fact, the small fish in the river are more delicious, especially the freshly caught crucian carp boiled out of milky white soup, how do you feel that something is flowing down the corner of your mouth! Xu Hui quietly wiped her mouth, fortunately she didn't drool, otherwise she would have lost her hair.

"Grilled fish is good!" Xu Hui told the truth, if she could catch a fish and throw it into the space, she would eat it at night...... I can't think about it, or the saliva will really fall!

"If you catch a big fish today, take it home and put more lard, pour some soy sauce and stew it for a while, and give the fish soup to Huihui Bibimbap!" Deng Alian promised.

Hearing the process of making fish described by her grandmother, Xu Hui has no appetite anymore, so she should make it herself and eat it if she has the chance! When will I be able to find enough ingredients to make a table of Xu's private dishes for my family to try?

I really miss the old life, cooking a few of my favorite dishes, garnishing them with fresh fruits and vegetables, a glass of red wine, and a romantic candlelit dinner......

This wish can only be realized by space for itself, and it is not easy to find red wine in this ancient period.

"Let's eat together, if we eat grilled fish by the river at noon, what will the eldest brother do?" Xu Hui asked.

"He brought a cake and two pickles this morning, and he won't be hungry for a meal, and he will be able to eat fish when he goes home in the evening!" Zhou Xiaomei squatted down, patted her back, and let her daughter climb up.

"I'm not tired yet!" Xu Hui let go of the hands of the two and ran forward by herself, and someone next to her came out with a dog "Wangwang" twice, so frightened that Xu Hui didn't dare to move.

Zhou Xiaomei and Deng Alian bent down to pick up a stone to beat the dog, and Deng Alian also touched her granddaughter's head to call her soul.

"Come on, I'll carry you on my back, let's hurry!" The main reason why Zhou Xiaomei and Deng Alian have been holding Xu Hui and reluctant to let her go out is that she is relatively timid and easy to be scared. And then there is the appearance of this child, there was a rumor in the village, saying that a child like Xu Hui who was obviously born in the countryside, but is not at all like a little village girl, can't raise it at all.

It is also said that most of these children are fairy children in the sky who secretly come to the world to play, and when they have had enough of playing or are found by their families, they will be called back.

Although the Xu family didn't believe it, they were afraid that there would be such a thing, so they looked at Xu Hui more closely.

"Zhiyong, this is going down the river! Today, your family is really together, and there is a lack of Jianwen, yo, even Xiao Huihui is here, tsk, this child is really getting more and more handsome, like a fairy descending to earth! ”

"Huihui rarely goes out, this child is so well-behaved, Aunt Xu, Xiaomei, you will wait for the light of Huihui in the future!"

"Put the child on the ground and let us take a closer look, how do this little girl's eyes grow, they are brighter than mountain spring water, look at this little mouth, I don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future!"

A group of women were chatting in front of the village grinding plate, and when they saw Xu Hui gathered over, Xu Zhiyong couldn't say anything in the face of a group of women, Deng Alian and Zhou Xiaomei's faces had sunk.

What does it mean that they will follow their children in the future, is this a reflection of Huihui's entry into large households? A daughter from a country family like them is at most a concubine when she enters a big family, and no matter how poor their Xu family is, no matter how hard they are, they will not send their daughter to be a concubine.

"Please give way, my family is in a hurry to go?" Because they are all villagers, Deng Alian suppressed her anger and didn't say anything, she just wanted to leave here quickly.

Xu Hui now knew why her family didn't like to let her go out, so she put her face on Zhou Xiaomei's back and turned to a direction that no one else could see.

"Get out of the way, the basin I serve is full of digging insects, and it's about to run out, Aunt Wang, you have one on your feet, and Grandma Sun has one on your feet!" Xu Jianlin specially tilted the basin to both sides a few times, and there were indeed some insects picked up from the rotten wood in it.

The father and son also accidentally discovered that fishing with bugs is actually better than dough, and they will find some bugs to bring with them before going down to the river every time.

"Xiao Linzi, you hold the basin! How do you let the bugs crawl out? "The woman who said just now that the Xu family would follow Xu Hui to borrow light is called Wang Chunni, at this moment she jumped to her feet and accused Xu Jianlin, which little widow in the village ran away with someone, and she was clear of anyone who lost chickens and ducks, she knew that the whole village knew it in less than a day, and she was a typical long-tongued woman!

The grandmother next to her couldn't jump, but her mouth was not idle: "This little forest is either going down to the river to fish or playing in the mud all day long, no wonder your milk is rare, not rare you!" ”

"My family's affairs, don't worry about others, let's quickly shake the insects on my feet, otherwise I'll get into my trouser legs!" Xu Jianlin will not be instigated by them? The younger sister in the family is the youngest, and her father and grandmother are partial to her, and she and her brother have no complaints.

Not only does his father and grandmother hurt his little sister, but he and his eldest brother also hurt him! That Wang Chunni and Grandma Sun are jealous, they don't have children like their sister, they are so envious in their hearts, they refuse to admit that they have to say a lot of sour things every time they see the Xu family.

I can't hear it!

"Grandma Sun, don't be foolish here, if you have nonsense, you should take care of your own family's affairs! You don't have to worry about the affairs of our Xu family! Mrs. Deng replied.

They all live in the same village, who doesn't know that Deng Alian and Zhou Xiaomei are not good at stubble, they never have stage fright when fighting, if their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law go together, they can rarely find opponents in the village.

"Milk, let's go!" Xu Hui is the most annoying person who knows that the east family and the west family are short all day long, and she doesn't want her grandmother to quarrel with this kind of person, so it is better to go to the river to catch fish as soon as possible!
