Chapter 18: Dong Xiucai's Anger
Livestock are fed some water every day, except for pigs.
Then take some soybean straw from the hay house and throw it into the sheepfold and pigsty, where they will pick it up and eat it during the day.
Finally, look inside and out of the chicken coop and pick up the eggs laid by the chickens, ducks and geese last night into a dry scoop, otherwise they will accidentally break the eggs.
The eggs were taken back to the kitchen, followed by a clay pot to milk the goats.
The goat's milk has risen a little, and it is obvious that the lamb has not eaten much, but judging by its round belly, it must have eaten enough.
The ewes stood there obediently waiting for her to milk, and these animals were also smart.
Milking it almost enough, Cher patted the ewes and went back to the kitchen to warm up the goat's milk.
After serving these ancestors, I finally didn't forget the big cat that had just come home, put some bibimbap and water in the cat food bowl, and finally it was my turn.
Pick out the milk skin and eat it first, yes, it's still the same taste. After drinking the warm goat's milk, Cher was already half full, but she still ate some morning food, and then cleaned up the kitchen and extinguished the firewood.
After a busy day, the sky was already slightly bright, and the birds chirped one after another, saying that the early bird had worms to eat, and she, the early bird, was full first.
There is also a big flower cat that is earlier than her, and she has already eaten and gone back to the house to sleep.
Xue'er has to continue the day's work, first cleaning the house of the resident inside and out, wiping what should be wiped, re-organizing what should be neat, and cleaning what should be cleaned.
The house was busy for half an hour, and then the front and back yards were cleaned with a bamboo broom.
Because of the relationship between raising all kinds of poultry at home, the yard must be swept every morning, although Dong Xue'er is small, she is used to doing these tasks, the broom is taller than her, and the Yun family can bear it.
The yard was finally cleaned, and the sky was already bright.
Finally, the dung in each circle is shoveled together with an iron shovel, and then carried to the peach grove behind the house in a wicker basket and accumulated so that it can be sent to the field for fertilization.
Finally, the latrine is cleaned.
After a lap, Xue'er was already sweating, sweat soaked the wound, and it hurt again.
It's already half the morning, Xue'er thinks that she should change the dressing for the wound, if she doesn't change the dressing in time, the wound will definitely become inflamed, and when the time comes, she will have a fever.
I refilled a basin of water in the kitchen, washed my hands and face with honey locust powder, and just about to go back to the house to change the dressing, I heard a knock on the door.
The bronze knocker banged on the wooden door, and the tiger ran from the backyard to the front yard, and ran to the gate with a loud shout. Cher ran quickly to the door and asked, "Who's knocking?" β
The knock on the door stopped, and after a pause, a deep voice said, "Are you a snow girl?" I'm a grandfather! β
Grandfather, isn't it grandfather? Xue'er was stunned for a moment, hurriedly opened the bolt of the door, and vigorously opened the somewhat heavy wooden door, and looked up to see a middle-aged man in a blue muslin linen dress standing in front of the door.
The robe on his body was so straight that there were almost no wrinkles visible, and his hair was crowned with a wooden hairpin, and his hair was meticulously combed.
His height is not particularly tall, but he is the kind with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. The eyes are very large, like two copper bells, the eyebrows are very dark and thick, like two insects lying there, the nose is very straight, the mouth is of moderate size, the lips are slightly thick, but the teeth are neat and white, and they look very fierce.
Huzi was still yelling at Dong Xiucai, and Xue'er hurriedly scolded: "Huzi, it's grandpa." β
Huzi stopped calling, whined twice, and went back to the backyard in a hurry.
The corners of Dong Xiucai's mouth twitched involuntarily, for his granddaughter's sentence: It's grandpa.
After drinking the tiger, Xue'er hurriedly saluted: "Hello grandpa, why did you come here today?" But what's the matter? β
Dong Xiucai didn't expect that it would be his granddaughter who opened the door for him, and today happened to be the school's day off.
To run a private school in the countryside, it is necessary to take into account the actual situation, which is generally a 10-day bath, and students will be given a holiday every year for spring planting and autumn harvest.
Although the children who come to the private school to study are relatively well-off, they are more or less a laborer in the family, and he does not want his students to be the kind of people who only know how to study, so he encourages them to learn farm work.
He himself has suffered in this regard.
Last night, his wife talked about the second son, Dong Xiucai sat in the study and couldn't calm down, although their Dong family was once an official eunuch, but the ancestors almost did not take concubines and marry equal wives.
Unless you reach your thirties and have no children, you will consider marrying a flat wife.
Dong Xiucai didn't want his son to marry a flat wife for no reason, after all, the second son is only twenty-five now.
The doctor also said that as long as his son passed the crown, his life should be worry-free. So why rush?
He was a man who was quite fame-conscious.
So the more Dong Xiucai thought about it, the more angry he became, and he thought of his son to come and see, what does a daughter-in-law mean?
The son was away from home all day, and he had to take advantage of the morning or evening time to see people.
He wanted to come over this morning, but his wife also said: The second couple just finished quarreling yesterday, and the second child couldn't help but not come home last night.
So Dong Xiucai planned to talk to his daughter-in-law about it first, and the moment he saw his granddaughter, the old man always had a bad premonition in his heart, so he followed his granddaughter's words and asked, "Well, the rules are good." Where's your mother? β
Xue'er didn't want to carry it for the Yun family, so she pretended to be naΓ―ve and said: "Grandpa went into the house to sit, yesterday my mother went back to my grandfather's house, and my father and mother didn't come home last night!" β
Dong Xiucai's steps into the courtyard instantly stopped, stared at the big eyes and said loudly: "What? β
He just wanted to reprimand a few sentences, but remembered that he was only facing a six-year-old granddaughter, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his silver teeth and asked, "Snow girl, what you said is true?" β
Xue'er nodded and said obediently: "Well, Xue'er didn't lie to you!" β
Dong Xiucai walked towards the main hall with his hands behind his back and snorted, Xue'er didn't close the door, because those poultry were going out for a while.
Following Dong Xiucai into the hall and inviting him to take a seat, Xue'er said obediently: "Grandpa, Xue'er will make you tea." β
"Don't be busy just yet." Dong Xiucai had just walked all the way, looked at the surrounding environment, and knew what this granddaughter had done when she got up in the morning, and when she had just opened the door for him, she had obviously just finished her work and washed her hands and face again.
Since the separation of his two eldest sons, he has rarely come to his son's house except for his son's treats during the New Year's Festival.
He also heard from his wife that the second and second sons treated this granddaughter badly, especially the daughter-in-law Yun, who either beat or scolded the child.
can see such a polite and sensible beautiful granddaughter, no matter how ruthless his heart is, he can't help but soften.
