Chapter 15 Favorite Qixi Festival

Summer is a hot season.

Early in the morning, Zhizhi shouted "Zhizhi-Zhizhi-Zhizhi" from the trees, as if to say "It's so hot-it's hot-it's hot", telling people that it's another hot day.

As soon as the summer vacation arrived, Fan Ya began to look forward to the stars and the moon, and looked forward to the Qixi Festival coming early.

This is an important festival on the island dedicated to children.

Everyone who is an uncle has to give gifts to their minor nephews and nieces. If an uncle doesn't give gifts to his nephew or niece, it's a very shameful thing to say it.

From homemade biscuits at the beginning, to biscuits, and now to a variety of snacks. No matter how stingy my uncle and aunt are, I will try my best to buy delicious things for my nephew and niece at this time of year. Compare with each other, buy higher and higher, for fear of being compared by others.

Every household also prepares glutinous rice cakes for their children, with brown sugar filling, white sugar filling, and meat filling.

Grandma was reluctant to buy meat, and she had never made glutinous rice cakes with meat filling for Fan Ya. But it doesn't matter, every time Aunt Fan's family makes glutinous rice cakes with meat filling, there are Fan Yu's brother to eat, and Fan Ya's share.

Fan Ya likes to eat brown sugar filling the most, and when she takes a bite, the outside is soft and glutinous, and the sweet brown sugar inside slides into her mouth like silk.

Usually drooling when I think about it, grandma is usually either busy with farm work or rushing to weave fish nets, Fan Ya doesn't want to eat this bite.

Today is the Qixi Festival again.

Fan Ya was writing her summer homework at the dinner table, and she stopped after a short while. I am very much looking forward to the gift from my three aunts today, biting the tip of my pen and tilting my head with my chin on my hand, I looked obliquely at the door and thought: Today's glutinous rice cake filled with brown sugar is not afraid that it will run away, but these three aunts, what delicious things will they send me this year? It's changing every year, and it's a bit nerve-wracking to guess.

Grandma looked at Fan Ya, sitting there obediently and doing her homework today. I can rest assured that I will go to the neighboring village with Aunt Fan to grind glutinous rice flour and prepare to make glutinous rice cakes for my baby granddaughter today.

Grandma had just gone out on the front foot, and Fan Ya felt that the house was too quiet when she stayed at home alone. Then he also went out to play with Fan Yu's brother.

I saw Fan Yu alone, squatting on the shady grass at the back door, holding a bottle of juice in one hand and taking a sip for a while, and gently pulling something in the grass with a small stick in the other? There was also an empty can and bottle at his feet.

"Brother Yu! What are you doing? Fan Ya asked curiously.

Fan Yu saw Fan Ya coming over, took a sip of juice, and reached out to hand it to Fan Ya: "Hmm!" The rest is for you to drink. It's been too hot these days, and the chickens don't eat much, so my mother asked me to catch earthworms to change the taste of the chickens. ”

Fan Ya unceremoniously reached out and took the juice, "Gollum!" I took a big sip before I said, "When I'm done, I'll help you catch earthworms together!" Then "Gollum! Grunt! Mutter! Oooo Three times five divided by two, most of the bottle of juice was solved.

"Brother Yu! It's too gentle for you to catch earthworms like this, it's like a little girl, as if you tickle the land, look at me!" As he spoke, he grabbed with both hands, and there was a whirlwind, and a large piece of grass was pulled out at once.

"Wow! Lesser! You're a lawn mower! So fast! You're being rude, aren't you? It's a bit like a girl, at most like a girl on TV. Seeing Fan Ya so fast, Fan Yu shouted with praise.

"Brother Yu! Do you praise me or hurt me? I'm quitting!" Fan Ya was deliberately angry and turned around to leave.

Fan Yu grabbed the corner of Fan Ya's clothes: "Don't go!" Lesser! Help me catch earthworms, and I'll give you a bottle of eight-treasure porridge later. ”

As soon as she heard that there was eight treasure porridge Fan Ya was easy to speak, and then squatted on the ground, picked up a broken tile and was digging the soil, her hands kept moving, and her mouth was not idle: "Brother Yu!" Why do you have juice and eight-treasure porridge today? "I'm a little curious, why is Aunt Fan so generous today!

"It was my aunt who delivered it early this morning, a box of eight-treasure porridge and a box of juice. Did your aunt send it? Fan Yu asked Fan Ya rhetorically.

"Not yet! My three aunts don't know why they went today, and they haven't come here yet, alas! Wait! Fan Ya couldn't help but feel a little lost and a little helpless.

He continued to dig the soil in his hands, under the strong encirclement and suppression of Fan Ya. One by one, the earthworms have an arch; One of them twisted out of the earth.

Fan Yu took the opportunity to gently pinch the earthworms one by one and put them into the empty canned bottles.

Fan Ya was so engrossed in digging the soil that she unconsciously dug a big hole.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard Fan Yu shouting beside me: "Wow! I'm disgusting! Blame! Blame! Phew!" Spitting non-stop.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Fan Ya was so frightened that she jumped up directly.

"Xiaoya! Look at the earthworms in this bottle. Don't dig anymore! Don't dig anymore! It's disgusting!" After speaking, he fled home directly, "Bang!" The back door was slammed shut.

Fan Ya looked over: more than half a bottle of earthworms were intertwined with each other, constantly wriggling. Then I heard Fan Yu's door closing, and thought: Brother Yu is still a manly man, as for being scared like this!

At this time, Fan Ya felt that the weather was hot and the sun was too dazzling.

The scorching sun is like a big ball of fire: the trees are roasted so that the leaves are curled; The flowers and grass were wilted, as if he bowed his head and bent down to admit his mistake. The big yellow dog of Fan Yu's family was so hot that he stuck out his tongue and dripped, "Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-hu" and kept panting. Damn it, Zhizhi is still screaming irritatingly from the branches, as if cheering for the scorching sun.

Fan Ya was covered in sweat and mud all over her body, and clapped her hands boringly. Then use the palm of your right hand to place it on your forehead to block the dazzling sunlight and run home quickly. As soon as he put his dirty hands in the basin, he heard a few people in the courtyard shouting: "Fan Ya! At home? ”

"Xiaoya! Lesser! Where are you? ”

"Fan Ya! What are you doing? ”

"I'm here! At home! Auntie! Second aunt! Little aunt!" Listening to the voice, you know that it is the aunts and uncles who are coming. Fan Ya didn't have time to wash her hands, so she rushed to the door, only to see her aunts and uncles each carrying two large bags of things, all of which were covered with big blue bags.

Fan Ya stretched out her hand to take the things in the hands of her aunts, and the temper of the eldest aunt and the second aunt was comparable to that of grandma. When the two saw Fan Ya coming, the smell of stinky sweat hit their noses, and their hands were covered with mud.

The eldest aunt had a disgusted expression on her face, and said, "Fan Ya!" You wild child! It's dirty! ”

The second aunt frowned, fanned the front of her nose with her hand, and her face was full of disdain: "Stinks to death!" Stinky Fanya, haven't you taken a shower for hundreds of days? ”

Fan Ya was stunned! The psychology is as cold as falling to the bottom, and tears are already rolling in the eyes.

The little aunt glanced at these two, the same as the mother-in-law, and shook her head helplessly. Then he smiled and said kindly to Fan Ya: "Xiaoya! Lesser! What were you just playing? What about grandma? ”

"Auntie! I just helped Brother Fan Yu catch earthworms! Grandma went to a neighboring village to grind glutinous rice noodles and hasn't come back yet. When Fan Ya heard her aunt's words, she immediately turned cloudy. I usually go to my grandmother's house during the New Year's holidays, except for my grandfather, and I can basically talk to my aunt.

The two aunts looked at the third daughter-in-law who they hated, and they were a little unhappy every time they were like this.

The eldest aunt directly put the two bags of things on the ground and said, "Fan Ya, take it in yourself." ”

The second aunt also followed and put two bags of things on the ground: "Fan Ya! We're going back, you take yourself! ”

The eldest aunt and the second aunt immediately turned around and left together without waiting for Fan Ya to react.

The little aunt whispered to Fan Ya: "Don't care what they do, you just care about yourself for the holidays, grandma is not at home, and the little aunt will not go in, I will go back!" Lesser! Be happy!" After speaking, he handed the thing to Fan Ya's hand, stretched out his hand and gently gave Fan Ya a wet forehead, wiped the sweat and walked back.

It feels so good to be rubbed by my little aunt, which makes Fan Ya think blankly: My little aunt is so good! How do you feel a little like my mom? When she realized that her aunt had gone away.

"Auntie! See you soon!" Fan Ya shouted.

The little aunt turned around, smiled sweetly at Fan Ya, waved her hand to Fan Ya and continued to walk forward.

Fan Ya remembered the words of her little aunt, and kept chanting: "Xiaoya! Be happy! Lesser! Be happy...... and then carry bags of things from the yard into the house.

"Xiaoya! What are you babbling about? Before grandma entered the house, she heard Fan Ya's voice, saw several bags of things on the ground, and asked, "You and your aunt came in the morning?" ”

Fan Ya squatted for a while and bent over for a while, busy opening the six bags of things: "Hmm! I just came over, and I'll be back right away! "I was busy, and I didn't want to block my grandmother, so I didn't tell my grandmother about the unpleasantness just now. I just felt that my grandmother had been out for too long, so I asked strangely: "Grandma, you went over early in the morning to grind flour, and it has been several hours, why did you come back now?" ”

"There were a lot of people today, and I waited in line for a long time before it was my turn. Grandma will make you a cake now!" Grandma explained.

"I want to eat glutinous rice cakes filled with brown sugar" Fan Ya was afraid that her grandmother would make a mistake, so she hurriedly added.

"You know! Grandma isn't old yet!" Grandma replied with a smile, busy making cakes for Fan Ya for lunch.

Fan Ya took out everything and put it directly on the ground: "Wow-oh! Grandmother! There are so many varieties!!I'm all mixed together, I don't know which aunt gave it! Grandmother! Grandmother! Come and see! Looking at the good Dongdong in front of her, which looked like a hill, Fan Ya's unhappiness at first had already been thrown out of the clouds.

a box of wafer biscuits; a box of eight-treasure porridge; a box of Wahaha; a box of jelly; There are also potato chips, sausages, apples, canned oranges, and two large watermelons.

I couldn't help my granddaughter urging me, and my grandmother came over to see the snacks piled up on the ground on a hill. smiled and said to Fan Ya: "It's enough for you to eat alone for half a year." Put the whole box aside, and take a big basket and put it up, don't put it on the ground and it will get dirty. ”

"Oh! Got it! Grandmother! I'm going to give some things to Brother Fan Yu to eat!" With so many things, Fan Ya immediately thought of sharing them with Fan Yu.

"Hmmm! Good boys, let's divide it! Get more for Fan Yu!" Grandma reminded her in due course, thinking in her heart: I owe the Fan family too much.

Fan Ya took out some of each of them, put them in a large bamboo basket, and sent them to Fan Yu.

When Fan Ya returned, the house was filled with the smell of cakes. Grandma had already made the cakes, and a pot of steaming brown sugar glutinous rice cakes was placed on the table. In the courtyard, there was a pig's "Humph!" Humph!" Screaming, needless to say, grandma must be feeding the pigs.

"Milk-milk! Time to eat! Fan Ya took out the meat cake given by Aunt Fan from the bamboo basket and put it on the side of the brown sugar cake on the table. Picked up a piece of brown sugar cake and inhaled it deeply: Hmm! It's this faint glutinous rice aroma with a sweet brown sugar flavor. Close your eyes again, take a bite, and the glutinous sweetness will be silky smooth. That's what a feeling, it's really delicious!

"Xiaoya! What are you doing? Is it eating ginseng fruit? Or brown sugar drunk? When grandma saw Fan Ya's eating appearance, she couldn't help but shout.

Fan Ya is too intoxicated with the instant happiness of the taste buds. was scolded by grandma suddenly, almost dropped the cake on the ground, shook his hand, the brown syrup flowed out of the corner of his mouth and flowed down his chin to his hand, and a drop happened to drip on the table, and he still had something in his mouth and said vaguely: "Grandma!" You're scaring me to death! ”

Then, naturally, I wiped it with my index finger, the brown sugar syrup on my chin, and put it in my mouth, "Let's chirp!" Whoa!" Suck vigorously a few times. Then he lowered his head and stuck out his tongue and licked the drop of brown syrup on the table.

Grandma looked at Fan Ya like a pig eating mud, and gently slapped Fan Ya's little head: "You eat a cake and are full of tricks, how can you marry someone after you eat like this!"
