Chapter 5 Water Irrigation Red Rice
In the evening, An Xiucai sent red beans to wash his clean clothes to the leather store.
Mi Houjun saw that the clothes were neatly folded, and when he opened it, he saw that the cuffs and collars were particularly clean.
One of the cracks in the garment had been densely patched, and the loose buttons on the gown had been re-coiled and stitched.
For the sake of these two delicate buttons, he had some whims.
Today, I took two clothes that don't need to be washed at all, inquired about An Xiucai's house, and went to find the girl named Hongdou.
Thinking of the little appearance of Hongdou being frightened by his sudden break-into the house in the morning, the corners of Mi Houjun's mouth couldn't help but pull.
An Xiucai, who was poor and sour, raised a daughter who was very smart.
When he went, An Xiucai had already gone out, and only Hongdou was left at home sitting alone in the house with the soles of his shoes.
A dilapidated house, red beans have nowhere to hide, and their little faces are white.
Seeing that Hongdou was so delicate and shy, Mi Houjun smiled slowly: "Red Bean girl, I can't eat people, what are you afraid of?" ”
"I'm here today to invite the red bean girl to the shop to cook a few meals for me, and please don't shirk the girl."
Hongdou was anxious for Mi Houjun to leave, and held back for a long time before muttering, "I'm not going...... I'm not going to do it...... The meal you eat. ”
When Mi Houjun saw the pitiful and cute little appearance of the red bean, he felt that his heart was about to melt.
With a mouth, he felt confused in that soft voice: "Red Bean, I don't want you to do anything, what you cook, I like to eat, really, I don't lie to you......"
was begging, but he didn't know that An Xiucai's dilapidated house was narrow and leaky.
The words of the leather shop Shaodong's dead skin and his face pestering An Xiucai's Nizi to help him cook have long been listened to by several nosy men and women.
Mi Houjun talked for a long time, and when he saw that Hongdou not only refused to pay attention to him anymore, but he still refused to turn his face around.
In desperation, he had to put the two clothes he brought on a small broken stool and left.
Not long after returning to the shop, I saw that everyone in the village was rushing out of the village.
Mi Houjun didn't know what was going on, so it was easy to hold a person.
At first glance, it was An Hongmi who was sent by himself.
Without waiting for Mi Houjun to speak, An Hongmi sneered: "Shao Dongfang just ran to my third uncle's house and did something to Hongdou?" The red bean jumped Linglong Pond and died. ”
When Mi Houjun heard this, he felt as if someone had pulled him hard.
didn't have time to argue with An Hongmi, so he ran to Linglong Pond.
When I ran to the edge of the pool, I saw several middle-aged villagers throwing fishing nets into the pool in a panic.
There are also people who take long bamboo poles and salvage them everywhere without a head or a brain.
Mi Houjun almost didn't even think about it, and jumped into the icy pool.
He easily touched the red beans under the water and carried them ashore.
Relying on his tall figure, he first carried the red bean upside down, dragged it to control the water, and then put it on his knees and pressed his back hard.
But after some tossing, the red beans were soft, and there was not even a trace of air in and out.
The big guy saw that An Xiucai's family really had no hope, so they persuaded Mi Shaodong not to work hard.
coaxed Hongdou's body and was about to send her back to the village, when An Xiucai, who got the news, stumbled and cried.
No one expected that Hongdou was slapped and beaten by her father and cried, and suddenly opened her eyes.
When Hongdou opened his eyes, everyone was so frightened that they fled in all directions, only Mi Houjun was standing behind An Xiucai trembling.
He wasn't scared.
He is more sad and joyful than An Xiucai.
The sky is bright, and the red beans rise.
After washing his face, pulling his hair casually, he went to the leather store.
After paying the wages, you have to work well for the landlords and old money.
Walking to the fork in the road, the mist was misty, and Hongdou saw An Hongmi holding a laundry basket in his hand at a glance, dodging and dodging.
She pretended not to know.
walked to the leather store, and just patted the door of the shop, Mi Shaodong opened the door.
Hongdou looked at Mi Houjun suspiciously, looking at the radiant appearance on his face, as if he had counted the money overnight.
Mi Houjun led the red beans to the kitchen at the back of the shop.
It is said to be a kitchen house, but it is actually very good.
In the past few days, Mi Shaodong sent An Hongmi, and the result of cooking in person was that there was some chaos inside and outside the kitchen.
Red Bean took the smallest wooden bucket and went to the well to draw water.
It took the boss a long time to reluctantly lift the barrel up.
Staggering and sprinkling all the way, a bucket of water was carried to the kitchen, and almost half a bucket was spilled.
After a while, I heard a "bang" sound from time to time in the kitchen, that is, the spatula was touched by red beans and fell to the ground.
Then there was another "bang", and it turned out that the red bean broke a large porcelain bowl with blue lace.
Mi Houjun held a broom and listened to it in horror while sweeping the floor of the shop.
Suddenly, only to hear the scream of red beans in the kitchen, Mi Houjun was so frightened that he dropped the broom in his hand and ran back.
I saw a thick smoke with flames rushing out of the kitchen.
Mi Houjun rushed into the kitchen with an arrow step, and pulled out the red beans that were already frightened.
Looking at the red bean's face again, it makes people cry and laugh even more.
I saw that this girl's little face was wiped like a little flower cat, and the hair on her forehead was also scorched.
If it weren't for Mi Shaodong's quick arrival, it is estimated that her head would be on fire.
An Hongmi, who had been hiding outside, almost didn't jump up and clap her hands.
Yesterday, An Hongdou beat Zhang Butcher was really possessed by the dragon god, but he was just an evil for a short time, right?
Look at what she is doing now, isn't it the same as before?
Thanks to last night, she was almost scared to death by this dead girl.
I knew that when Hongdou went out just now, I should have caught up.
As usual, unceremoniously slash her face and give her a few mouths and tell her to go back.
Mi Shaodong hurriedly extinguished a few firewoods that were being dragged out of the stove by the red beans, and was busy comforting the frightened red beans.
He wiped the face of the red bean with the sleeve of his poplin satin robe, and brushed the first few strands of burnt hair on the front of the red bean's forehead.
An Hongmi originally just wanted to stand in the distance and watch the excitement and gloat for a while.
At this moment, seeing that Mi Shaodong was so good to red beans, he unconsciously knocked over the vinegar bottle and was confused.
She pretended to be washing clothes and passed by, and with an "ouch" sound, she stepped forward.
Fuss asked, "Red Bean, why did you get like this?" ”
Hongdou was running out to talk with red rice in his heart, but his face showed the same dazed look as before.
looked at Hongmi with panicked eyes, and wrenched his fingers full of pot ashes: "Second sister...... I'm making porridge...... Porridge ......"
Mi Houjun didn't understand why the red beans, who were still talking neatly last night, suddenly stumbled again.
Seeing that the red bean seemed to be very afraid of red rice, he became more and more disgusted in his heart.
Hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay." Red Bean, don't be afraid, with me, I'll light the fire......"
Ignoring An Hongmi, he pulled the red beans and was about to enter the kitchen.
Hongmi smiled: "Shaodong, you don't know, right? My third sister is stupid and stupid, and she can't pick up anything. ”
Mi Houjun said without looking back: "Don't worry about the red rice girl, she can't pick it up well, I'll teach her slowly." ”
An Hongmi was unceremoniously scolded by Mi Shaodong, and suddenly opened her mouth in anger.
Thinking about the first, Mi Shaodong is also kind to himself.
Now he is pitiful for An Hongdou, a fool, and he is indifferent to himself like this.
The more I thought about it, the more I hated.
Red beans carried the laundry basket, grinding.
Sure enough, Da Cuizi, the granddaughter of Mrs. Wang, and Juanzi, the little girl of Mrs. Chen's family, one carrying a laundry basket and the other carrying a washing basket, came together.
Da Cuizi has always looked down on red beans, but Juanzi suddenly possessed the dragon god for red beans, and beat up Zhang Butcher, and she has a novelty about red beans in her heart.
Seeing that the red bean was walking in front slowly, he hurriedly dropped the big cuizi and rushed forward.
Plant a gourd against the wall, and raise Nizi like a mother.
Juanzi, like her mother, couldn't close her mouth as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Red Bean, did you go to the leather shop to cook?"
"Red Bean, do you dare to go to Linglong Pond......"
"Red Bean, you were possessed by the dragon god yesterday and almost beat Butcher Zhang to death......"
Balabala......
After a while, the red bean who was walking with his head bored shook his head blankly.
Da Cuizi smiled: "Juanzi, what's the use of you talking to her so much?" Look at the way she looks, she's still a fool. ”
Juanzi looked at Hongdou with some disappointment: "No, Sister Dacui, look at her, she didn't know how to get it when she went to the leather store, her hair was burnt, and she was ugly." ”
After that, the two Nizi couldn't help but laugh together.
An Hongmi waited for a long time by the Linglong Pond, but saw Da Cuizi and Juanzi also come to the pool to wash clothes and vegetables.
I was disappointed, only to see Hongdou holding the laundry basket in his hand, and walking slowly under his feet as if dragging a stone.
In that way, after drowning, he has not recovered his strength.
An Hongmi's teeth itched with hatred in her heart, and she almost couldn't hold back, so she jumped up and went to shave the ears of the red beans.
If you want to say that beating and scolding red beans is what An Hongmi and her mother are best at.
Da Cuizi, like her matchmaker, likes to tie people the most.
When I saw An Hongmi squatting by the pool to wash clothes, he took a few steps.
hurriedly shouted affectionately: "Sister Hongmi, I know that you are here to wash clothes, I will go to your house to find you." ”
An Hongmi had to endure it, looked at the red beans fiercely, and said, "I came early......
There are three stone slabs on the edge of the pool.
An Hongdou walked over and took a look, and the red rice came first, occupying the widest piece in the middle.
There were two smaller ones left, and while talking, Da Cuizi and Juanzi took one piece.
Hongdou hesitated for a moment, then carried the laundry basket in his hand to the edge of the widest stone slab and shared it with Hongmi.
Red rice only talks to Da Cuizi Juanzi and ignores red beans.
Hongdou silently took out the mallet, soaphorn, and Mi Shaodong's clothes from the laundry basket.
Looking at the clothes soaked by red beans in the water, Hongmi's eyes turned red.
Mi Shaodong's clothes, but she washed them by hand for many days.
An Hongmi stood up suddenly, and shouted in her mouth: "Red Bean, you are going to die, Peng I have a watery ......"
Red Bean was caught off guard and stood up all of a sudden in fright.
An Hongmi immediately raised her hand and slapped Hongdou's face hard.
There are people on the side of the pool, An Hongmi doesn't dare to blatantly make bad intentions, and just wants to slap the red bean a few times to relieve his hatred.
Unexpectedly, before his hand touched Hongdou's face, Hongdou was so frightened that he staggered, and his body fell straight into the pool.
For a moment, An Hongmi didn't know if she was too strong and couldn't hold it back, or if she was in a hurry by Hongdou, she desperately pulled her sleeves.
Anyway, before she could react, she was carried by the red bean and plunged headlong into the icy pool water.
An Hongmi was frightened, and the mouth of "Ah ......" was immediately choked into a large stream of cold water.
As soon as he struggled to rush out of the water, he felt that his hair was grabbed and his head was pinned into the water.
Da Cuizi and Juanzi watched the red beans and red rice fall into the pool together, and they were so frightened that they shouted loudly together.
"It's terrible, come on, save people, red beans and red rice have fallen into the pool again......"
While shouting, he ran desperately to the village.
In the pool water, Hongdou grabbed An Hongmi's hair and kept pouring cold water on her.
Gradually, seeing An Hongmi, he began to roll his eyes, and his body became weak.
Only then did he carry her hair in one hand and drag the water to climb up the washing slate.
An Hongmi puffed out her belly like a toad, and she fell together, and the corners of her mouth kept dripping out.
After a while, I opened my eyes and looked straight at the red beans standing on the stone slab and twisting the water on my hair.
Hongdou looked at her with a smile: "Second sister, I saved your life today." ”
An Hongmi was weak: "You ......"
Red Bean laughed, bent down, and leaned into Red Rice's ear.
God said mysteriously: "Second sister, I will tell you alone, don't waste your efforts, water can't drown me." ”
An Hongmi's eyes rolled and she passed out completely.
An Hongmi's mother, Zhang, cried in her mouth, and a pair of big feet ran fast, and the first one ran to the edge of Linglong Pond.
ran to the edge of the pond to see that his own Nizi and An Laosan's Nizi had already climbed ashore in a strange way.
It's just that Redmi is lying on the slate and only panting.
Red Bean's dead Nizi was standing on the side, wringing the water on her clothes.
Is this still worth it?
Zhang scolded while shouting, what a x, dead Nizi, a broom star that no one wants, a fool who is not welcomed...... Continuous.
stepped forward and couldn't help but say that splitting his face at the red bean was a slap.
Hongdou didn't pay attention to her, and when she slapped her closer, her body moved slightly, and she took her arm with her backhand, and Zhang suddenly hit the stone slab where Hongmi was lying.
Hearing only the sound of "tom", Zhang felt a pain in his heart with two front teeth connected to his lips.
When I touched it, it was already full of blood, and two bloody broken front teeth came out of the palm.
"Ah...... Little "Dian" slut, you killed red rice, and you dare to beat me, there is no reason, I fought with you today......"
The Zhang family has always been used to bullying the father and daughter of Hongdou, and suddenly suffered such a big loss, how can they be willing?
The cloak jumped up, his mouth leaked, his mouth was full of blood, and he hit the red bean headlong.
Unexpectedly, there was a "bang", but it hit a person's hard ribs.
When he looked up, he saw that this person was Mi Shaodong from the leather store.
Mi Shaodong was protecting the red beans behind him, standing there with his hands on his hips, staring at the splattered Zhang.
