Aunt Zhuang Si'er obviously didn't give up, and wanted to ask something.

Li Yunrou had already neatly turned the cloth pocket on her back, adjusted her position, changed her hand to drag the vine head, turned her head and instructed Li Yunxin:

"Sister Xin, let's go quickly. The family is still waiting for our firewood to make lunch. It's too late to go back, and our milk will definitely not be able to spare us. ”

As soon as these words came out, Aunt Zhuang couldn't stop them anymore and didn't let them go.

After all, Li Yunxin's grandmother, Qiao Ximei, is a famous and powerful person in ten miles and eight villages.

scolded on the street, can be three days and three nights without heavy drops!

In the backing mountain, mentioning this name can stop children from crying at night.

Aunt Zhuang Si'er let go of Li Yunrou and Miss Li Yunxin stupidly, but she still muttered dissatisfiedly:

"Now these little hairy children, one by one, are getting more and more slippery! Sister Rou is so clumsy, she knows that she is using her milk to press me! ”

Although the two young ladies heard it, they tacitly pretended not to hear it, and continued to walk home.

Li Yunxin was pondering, she saw where the familiarity of Aunt Zhuang came from, and suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves and a piercing gong behind her.

The gong sounded seven times, and then not only was there a noise under the big locust tree, but people from every household came out of the house and walked towards the big locust tree.

Li Yun wanted to stop and look at the situation, but Li Yunrou disagreed:

"Sister Xin, go quickly! As soon as this gong sounds, something big must have happened. We can't afford to delay outside any longer, so as not to worry our families. ”

Li Yunxin felt that it made sense, and the two of them quickened their pace and returned to the fence yard of the old Li family.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I bumped into the old man Li Jingfu, who was holding a copper cigarette pouch pole and wearing a dogskin hat crookedly, and hurriedly walked out.

The sisters hurriedly stood still and bent their knees slightly:

"Grandfather."

Li Jingfu waved his hand casually:

"Excuse me, get in the house, don't come out easily! I'm going to see what's going on. ”

After that, without waiting for the two little girls to reply, they hurriedly walked away, and even forgot to close the courtyard door.

Seeing Li Jingfu's serious appearance, Li Yunxin felt that the air was heavy.

Li Yunrou's expression was also a little solemn, and as soon as she threw away the wild vines that were dragging the bundle of firewood, she took off the Yuqian'er pocket on her back with her hand, and took out the bag of grilled fish that she had hidden before:

"Sister Xin, you hurry back to the house and take this to our younger brothers and sisters to share. Avoid a little people! Don't forget to leave some for our father and mother. Just give me these two baskets, and I'll get them for our milk later. ”

Li Yunxin obediently agreed, put the two baskets in his hands on the ground, took the grilled fish buns, and the two little short legs ran at an extraordinary speed, and it didn't take long to rush into his own hall.

There was no one in the hall.

Li Yunxin threw off the two shoes and jumped onto the kang, opened the camphor wood box of his mother Feng, and stuffed the grilled fish bag in his hand.

Li Yunrou was in the yard, kicked the bundle of firewood to the side, put Yu Qian'er's pocket on her shoulders again, carried two baskets, and walked into the big kitchen where the whole family ate.

Sure enough, Qiao Ximei was busy working in the stove.

Of course, the specific work is carried out by several daughters-in-law in the family, who take turns to be responsible for it in accordance with the order of the head of the house.

Qiao Ximei mainly serves as the commander-in-chief. Responsible for giving orders, arranging several daughters-in-law and children clearly, and their feet do not touch the ground. It is commonly known as "branch mouth".

When Li Yunrou came in, it happened that Qiao Ximei was yelling at the second uncle, Nie:

"The second one, what are you doing here? Let you wash a few turnips, where did you wash them? Woe to a big pot of water, washed for half an hour, and still haven't washed it yet! What are you doing now? ”

Nie Shi licked his face and smirked:

"Mother, I've always been slow to ...... hands and feet"

Qiao Ximei was even more angry, and her face was calm, and her face was darker than the bottom of the pot:

"Slow hands and feet? When you grabbed the nest head, why have you never seen your hands and feet slow? Someone else's chopsticks just touched the edge of the nest, and you have three in the bowl!

Sand dripping, don't keep putting that cheating and tricking!

Don't think that you can leave these jobs to your third siblings and four siblings if you occupy the pit and don't!

If you dare to rub it out for a while, you will miss your lunch, and you won't eat in the future! ”

Nie Shi was taken aback, and suddenly his head drooped, and he didn't dare to squeak.

The movements of the hands were a little faster.

Qiao Ximei patted herself on the chest at this time, smoothed out, and turned her face to Li Yunrou:

"Sister Rou'er is back? Why didn't Sister Xin come over? ”

Li Yunrou bent her knees slightly, and bowed:

"Grandmother."

Then he answered Qiao Ximei's question:

"Today, we picked up a lot of firewood and dug up a lot of wild vegetables. Sister Xin was tired, so I asked her to go back to the house to rest first. Look, this pocket is full of elm money, and it's fresh! In this basket, except for camelina and purslane, it is all mother-in-law. Is it in this basket, milk, guess what? ”

Li Yunrou sold the guanzi, tilted her head, and smiled playfully at Qiao Ximei.

Qiao Ximei's face softened a lot, she liked Sister Rou'er's crisp energy.

It's a hundred sets stronger than the two of the fourth and fourth families, and the three sticks can't beat a fart!

However, although Qiao Ximei was happy in her heart, her mouth was still unforgiving:

"Don't be shy, be happy, say it quickly, let it go if you have a fart!"

Li Yunrou lowered her little face, drooped her shoulders, and sighed: "Alas! "Said that he was very devastated.

After a while, he returned to a slightly "shy and shy" smile, lifted the wild vegetables and firewood and grass on the top of the basket, and revealed the answer:

"Milk, look! Sister Xin and I are out with a basket of fish! I'm all cleaned, and I don't need to wash it to get into the pot directly! ”

Sister Qiao doesn't like to eat fish.

However, the child knows that pulling things into the house is a good thing and cannot be attacked. Besides, although the fish is fishy, it costs oil, and it the mouth, but it is also meat. It's also good to give the children fragrant mouths.

So Qiao Ximei endured the complaint that had come to her mouth, nodded, and said lightly that she knew:

"Okay, good job. What about the firewood you gathered? ”

"Shelving it in the courtyard. I couldn't do it, so I thought about bringing these in and showing them to the milk, and then I put the firewood down first. ”

Qiao Ximei's eyes stood up:

"The second one, don't put that thief head and brain! If you love to listen to it, listen to it openly, what is this sneaky thing! ”

Nie immediately hit the snake with the stick:

"Mother, then I'll pick up a piece of tofu and stew this fish?"

Qiao Ximei said lightly:

"Want tofu? Okay! You pay. ”
