28. Feed the pigs
"Xiao Qi, do you know what Niang chopped is?" Lu Weishi, who was chopping vegetable leaves, looked at his daughter squatting next to him and said.
"This is our own dish, I know this." Xiao Qi can see that her mother is deliberately testing her? But how could she not even recognize the vegetables grown at home?
"Yes, because our family grows a lot of vegetables, so we pick some elders' chopped up and feed them to the pigs, the reason why Xiao Qi can give these to the pigs is mainly because our family is not short of these."
Xiao Qi nodded, her mother seemed to want to teach her some truths by feeding the pigs, it is really not easy to be a parent, and she always can't finish her heart.
"You must know that our family is already good in the entire Qingshan Village, and this credit is due to your grandfather, if it weren't for the industry that your grandfather earned back when he was young, and let your father and uncle insist on studying, our family would be no different from others."
"Mother, I know, grandpa often said that reading makes people wise, reading poetry makes people smart, and grandpa also said that he can also come back from the battlefield because he has read books." Xiao Qi talked about his grandfather's admiration.
"Yes, your grandfather is a well-known capable person in ten miles and eight villages, literate and far-sighted, so he can cultivate your father and your little uncle."
Speaking of this, Lu Wei paused the knife in his hand, looked at his daughter lovingly, and said earnestly: "What my mother wants to say is that not everyone can eat enough here in our place, and there are still many people who are hungry, so we must cherish it, understand?" ”
Lu Weishi pointed to the chopped vegetables on the case, "Some people are not even willing to eat such vegetables, although they don't sell much for money when they keep them for sale, and they are even more pigweed from the mountains for pigs to eat." ”
"Mother, but I don't understand why? Some people won't have enough to eat. Xiao Qi pretended to be ignorant and asked, how much can a two-year-old child know? It's normal for her to behave like this.
Sometimes, Xiao Qi also feels very distressed, God might as well directly erase her memory and let her reincarnate blankly, so that she doesn't have to be so careful, and she doesn't dare to behave too abnormally.
"There are many reasons why you can't get enough to eat, for a while? My mother can't tell you clearly, when you grow up, my mother will slowly talk to you, okay? Lu Weishi also noticed that his daughter might not be able to understand what he said, after all, how old she was!
Yu Bi, Lu Weishi saw that the vegetables on the case were almost chopped, so he wanted to go to the wooden basin for serving or pig food, but before he went, the third daughter-in-law handed over the wooden basin with great eyes, and Lu Weishi glanced at the third daughter-in-law with appreciation.
Xiao Qi watched his mother pour the chopped vegetables into the wooden basin, and then turned around and went to the warehouse where the grain was stored, grabbed a few handfuls of wheat bran and grain bran together from it or put them in the wooden basin, added water to it and mixed it with a wooden stick, and the pig food was all finished.
"Xiao Qi and his mother will feed the pigs together." Lu Weishi got up and was about to go to the wooden basin, but was preempted by the third daughter-in-law, and she looked at her mother-in-law with a flattering smile.
Lu Weishi looked at the third daughter-in-law, he was very satisfied, he had a look, and pulled his daughter to the pigsty with the third daughter-in-law, and asked the third daughter-in-law to leave some when she poured the pig food, and then picked up the big wooden spoon that was placed in the pigsty and handed it to Xiao Qi.
"You can feed the rest yourself, okay?" Although Lu Weishi loves children, he is not a person who dotes on children, and he will cherish them more only if he experiences them himself, right?
Xiao Qi took the spoon in her mother's hand, the spoon head is very large, and the spoon handle is quite long, longer than her arm, it is estimated that it is not easy for a child of her age to move.
But this is nothing in her hands, Xiao Qi is still a little naughty, and there is no weight at all.
The two little pigs in the pigsty smelled the food, and they didn't need to be called at all, and they all rushed to shrink their heads into the pig trough and ate them.
Xiao Qi didn't rush to pour pig food into it, but waited until it was almost gone, and then took a spoon and poured the pig food into the pig trough one by one, the two little pigs were so fun, she put a spoonful, and the little pig hummed and chirped to eat a spoonful, and after eating, she also knew that it looked like urging her in her direction, and then she continued.
Xiao Qi thinks it's very interesting, whether it's a child Xiao Qi or an adult Xiao Qi is feeding pigs for the first time, this experience makes her feel quite fresh.
"Mother, the pig food is gone!" Xiao Qi thinks she didn't feed a few spoonfuls at all? Why is it gone? It's so fast.
Lu Weishi took the wooden spoon in his daughter's hand, put it next to the pigsty again, looked at his daughter's unsatisfied appearance and promised her to let her feed the pigs tomorrow.
"Third daughter-in-law, go and brush the wooden basin and put it away."
The third daughter-in-law, Liu, hurriedly responded and took the wooden basin to the well to brush, while the eldest daughter-in-law Wang had already cleaned the pots and spoons used for breakfast and was no longer at the well, but was placed in the kitchen.
"Mother will take you to find Jinxiu, okay? Or you are willing to accompany your mother back to the room to see your mother's embroidery. Lu Wei discussed with Xiao Qi softly.
"Mother, I'll go find Jinxiu." Xiao Qi felt that it was too tiring to look at the embroidered eyes, although Jinxiu was a little too naïve, but he was still able to accompany her, and he didn't dislike her for being a little quiet and boring, and he was able to rescue her at this time, it is estimated that Jinxiu was being forced by his eldest nephew to read and write!
"Then let's go, my mother will take you there, Jinxiu will be with her brothers at this hour." Lu Weishi took his daughter's hand and walked to the front yard.
"Mother, I guess Jinxiu must have been forced to read by her eldest nephew, will we go to save her from what kind of fire? Mother...... I forgot. Xiao Qi's face was embarrassed, but there was a sly smile in his eyes.
"It's to save people from fire and water, this time you must remember it!" Lu Weishi smiled and nodded his daughter's nose.
"Hey, hey!" Little Seven in a giggle.
Before the mother and daughter walked to the east wing where the eldest daughter-in-law lived, they heard the faint sound of reading, and the sound of reading also came from the opposite west wing.
The three sons all lived in the backyard with the old man, and the wings on the east and west sides were their residences, among which the third eldest married later, and the house was rebuilt, and the east and west sides were chosen by himself, and the result was the west, and his twin brother chose one side.
Xiao Qi stood outside the east wing where her sister-in-law lived, and did not knock on the door, but naughtily shouted "Splendid" inside through the window.
She heard the little Jinxiu "ah" in the room, followed by the voice of her and her brother, who signed a lot of unequal contracts with her brother, and was finally released by her brother.
flew out happily like a bird out of the cage, and hugged Xiao Qi when he saw it, and the little aunt kept screaming.
Xiao Qi was really entangled by this little girl who was chattering, so she directly covered her little mouth.
Lu Weishi watched the two little ones play, and told them that they were not allowed to run around and play in the front yard, and she went back to the room to get the embroidery and came immediately.
When she came back with her things, the two little ones circled around a few trees, one chasing the other, and having a great time.
Seeing the children having fun, Lu Weishi sat down in the gazebo with a smile on his face with the things in his hand, ready to look at the two children while embroidering here.
Lu Wei's embroidery was learned from a distant relative in his mother's house when he was not married, and she would not be able to do too delicate stitching, but the general embroidery is still good.
Every day, I will take a period of time to embroider embroidery, although I don't earn much, I can also make up for my family.
Lu Weishi sat in the gazebo and listened to the laughter of the children, bowed his head and embroidered embroidery, with a shallow smile on his face, looking like the years were quiet.
