Chapter 18: Disdainful Identity.

Yan Feng reacted faster, she cleaned up the rice table before the dishes fried by Zou came out of the pot.

Not only that, but she also moved the long benches that were placed around the table to the edge of the table and put them away.

After these were done, she was busy taking the dishes and chopsticks that her mother-in-law Zou had washed and put aside, bringing them over, and preparing to serve the meal.

Yan Yan watched, watched, and took the initiative to help, bringing the rice that Yan Feng had brought to the table.

As soon as the rice was put on the table, Zou came out with the small fried tofu that had just come out of the pot.

"The dishes are ready, come, Feng'er, Yan'er, hurry up and eat, in a while, I have to go to school!"

Zou habitually put the dish in the middle of the table, and for a moment, he pushed it to the side of the two granddaughters and instructed.

"Okay. Got it, mother-in-law. ”

Yan Feng smiled and nodded back.

"Mm-hmm, I got it, too. Mother-in-law"

Yan Yan pulled the bowl with one hand, held the chopsticks clumsily with the other, and shoeed the rice in the bowl.

She said slurred with rice in her mouth.

"Okay, don't worry, eat slowly, it's time to choke in a while!"

Zou looked at Yan Yan with a frown, for fear that she would choke if she was not careful.

"Ahh

Yan Yan didn't care, but he still nodded and agreed.

After eating, Zou asked Yan Feng to take Yan Yan to school together.

After washing the pots and pans, she was also ready to go to the field to work and farm.

Zou is alone at home with two granddaughters.

I usually grow something self-sufficient, such as seasonal vegetables, wheat and corn, etc.

The Zou family grows everything, and the only thing they don't grow is millet.

There are three reasons why Zou does not grow millet.

One is that she is too old to do those laborious things.

Second, planting millet also requires skills and methods, if the year is not good, it is very likely that the grain will not be harvested.

The third is that she can't keep her face down and beg someone to do something.

Today, Zou is planning to plant some cucumbers, loofahs and pumpkins in the vegetable rock soil (commonly known as: vegetable field).

Caiyantu is located in the southwest of Yanjia, which is the kind of terraced land.

Most of the houses in Baiguo Village are built on the mountain, so people generally identify the direction and name it after the distance, height and height of the home near the mountain.

According to Zou's statement, the vegetable is along the soil on the side of the Gaotou courtyard.

Rural people generally leave early and return late, which is more free, but more tiring than the 9-to-5 work and life of people in the city.

Although farming is free, Zou still cherishes time and often stays in the field.

Sometimes, when it was so dark that she couldn't see anyone, she picked up, picked up, and went home.

As usual, before the Zou family came back from the field, Yan Yan and the others came home from school.

Yan Yan's kindergarten is usually 9 o'clock in the morning, going to school. School ends at 4:30 p.m.

Yan Feng's elementary school is at 8:30 a.m., going to school. School ends at 4:40 p.m.

It's not too late, it's about four o'clock in the afternoon, it's almost five o'clock.

"Sister, my mother-in-law doesn't seem to be at home."

Yan Yan and Yan Feng came to the highway, opposite Yan's house.

From a distance, Yan Yan saw that the door of the house was closed, and she said her conjecture to Yan Feng beside her.

"Well, I think so! My mother-in-law must still be working on the slopes. ”

Yan Feng agreed, and expressed his thoughts.

Back at home, Yan Feng took out the key from the small bag on the outside of the schoolbag and opened the door connecting the hall.

Then, let Yan Yan put the schoolbag on the table together, and each wrote their homework.

The two finished their homework, about half an hour later.

"What time is it, sister?"

Yan Yan finished her homework, and while packing her schoolbag, she asked her sister Yan Feng, who was also packing up her books.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look!"

Yan Feng quickly packed up his homework, put it in his schoolbag, zipped up his schoolbag, and ran to the square cabinet on the side of the hall with it, put down his schoolbag, took the big round clock placed on it, and took a look.

"It's almost half past five, and it's only three minutes away!"

"Oh, that's pretty early!"

Yan Yan also habitually carried his schoolbag to the cabinet and placed it with Yan Feng's schoolbag.

In the spring in Sichuan, it is generally dark at about 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock.

It's still early.

Yan Feng proposed to go to the slope and find her mother-in-law Zou.

Yan Yan naturally would not object.

Yan Yan and the others walked on a dirt slope road, although the road is not as smooth and smooth as the current asphalt road (also called asphalt road), but for the native rural people, it is not difficult to walk at all.

On both sides of the road, there are tall and low grass trees, which are particularly eye-catching.

Occasionally, one or two swallows will fly through the air, and you will chase me and make people endearing.

Yan Feng walked and walked, and suddenly remembered the poems of He Zhizhang that he had studied.

She blurted out:

The jasper is made into a tree high, and ten thousand green silk ribbons hang down.

I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

Yan Yan saw that her sister was so leisurely, there was Yaxing, and she was still thinking about something she had never heard before, but somehow, she was also inexplicably happy, and she read it.

"Emerald green pretends to be a tree high, 10,000, 10,000, 10,000 ......"

"Stupid, it's jasper made up to be a tree high, it's jasper, not jasper!"

"Behind it are 10,000 hanging green silk ......"

"And makeup, not stuff! It is the makeup of the makeup! What our teacher said. Got it? Sister. ”

Yan Yan was about to say casually, I know. was hit by her sister Yan Feng.

"Forget it, why am I telling you so much! You're still a kindergarten kid. ”

“…… Oh. ”

Yan Yan didn't interject anymore and responded casually.

She wondered, is her sister a little disdainful of her kindergarten status?

Obviously, she only read it once, how did it rise to personal attacks!

Well, she really didn't know what she was stressing.

After walking for a while, Yan Yan looked at the fork in the road that finally appeared in front of him, and was silently happy in his heart, turning around, he was almost at his destination.

That's great!

I don't want to, there are "roadblocks" in the way!

Looking at the all-white poodle that suddenly popped out in front of them, Yan Yan and Yan Feng were taken aback.

The poodle is not particularly large, the poodle weighs about 14 pounds (6 kilograms) and stands 9 inches (23 centimeters) tall.

is such a gadget, standing in the middle of the road all the time, barking wildly, which also discourages the two sisters of the Yan family.

Just when the two sisters were at a loss, the dog's owner appeared.

"White loach! Come back! ”

Hearing a familiar voice, Yan Yan poked out half of her head from behind her sister Yan Feng and looked over.

Standing across from him was a 6-year-old boy.

The little boy wears a blue and white tracksuit and white canvas shoes.

At this time, he was lowering his head with soft bangs, staring intently at the puppy squatting on the ground.

It's February!

"Hey, Xu February. When did you start getting dogs? Look, it scared my sister! Still shivering behind me! ”

Yan Feng saw that the dog was drunk.

Suddenly came back to her senses, she raised her eyebrows, crossed her hands on her waist, and looked like "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, don't try to tear this matter apart".

Yan Yan: The person who was scared by the dog just now seems to be more than her, right?

"It's Sister Feng, you! Sorry to scare you. This poodle was brought back from my uncle's house and raised, that is, in the past two days. ”

February seemed to notice that it was Yan Feng and the two of them standing opposite, and when he saw Yan Feng talking like this, he was not angry, but apologized and explained.

"Uh, Xu February, you say this is a poodle? But I don't look like a lion, do I? Is it a lion or a dog? ”

Yan Feng saw that Xu Jiayue explained to her in a good voice, and she didn't bother with the animals he raised to scare them.

"Well, it's a breed of dog."

Xu Jiayue looked at the white loach that was scattering Huan'er on the ground with a little embarrassment, touched his nose, and said uncertainly.

“…… I see. ”

Yan Feng glanced at it again, and circled around Xu Jiayue, humming the chirping white loach.

"Uh-huh, are you going to find Granny Zou?"

Xu Jiayue saw Yan Feng staring at the white loach with a suspicious look, and he changed the topic without a trace.

"Yes. Yes. ”

"That's right."

Yan Yan and Yan replied in unison.

"Oh, when I came here just now, I saw Granny Zou working in the field! Come over now. ”

Xu Jiayue turned his head and pointed unexpectedly, the direction he came from, and said.

"Okay, see you later! Xu February. ”

"Bye-bye, Brother February."

Hearing this, Yan Feng immediately agreed happily, and Yan Yan also said goodbye.

“…… Good. ”

Xu Jiayue saw Yan Feng leave first, and then stared at Yan Yan with a deep expression, and Yan Yan, who was following behind Yan Feng, nodded hesitantly and replied.

"Well, let's go! White loach. ”

Xu Jiayue saw Yan Feng and them, turned the corner, and there was no shadow, so he squatted down, touched the head of the white loach, and whispered.

Yan Yan and the others walked through the fork in the road, and their eyes suddenly opened up, quite a bit of "mountains and rivers are doubtful, and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." "Feelings.

"Sister, I saw my mother-in-law! There she is! ”

Yan Yan suddenly became excited, pointed to the direction of the vegetable along the soil, and said to Yan Feng.

"Well, if you don't say it, I saw it too."

Yan Feng calmly opened his mouth.

"Oh. Let's hurry over then! ”

Yan Feng's cold attitude did not interrupt Yan Yan's excitement and enthusiasm.

"Alright, let's go!"

Yan Feng glanced at Yan Yan holding her hand and agreed.

The eighteen bends of the mountain road, where you can see at a glance, have to take a good break to reach the destination.

After walking for a while, Yan Yan shouted loudly.

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law! Here we are! ”

Facing the loess, with his back to the sky, the Zou family, when he heard the sound and looked for it, he saw two villains, one big and one small, walking hand in hand on Tiankan Road.

She smiled lovingly at them, aloud.

"Feng'er, Yan'er, you're back from school!"

"Yes, mother-in-law."

Yan Feng returned.

"So early? Is the homework done? ”

Zou looked at the still bright sun in the sky and asked.

"It's done, it's done, mother-in-law."

Yan Yan replied excitedly.

"Okay, you guys play on it for a while! Stay safe! Mother-in-law will work for a while, and then we'll go back and get some food."

Looking at the two people who had come to Tiankan Road on the side of Caiyantu, Zou commanded.

"Well, mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about us, we know."

When Zou heard Yan Feng say this, he buried himself in hard work again.

"Sister, there are little flowers there, so beautiful! I'll pick it for you, okay? ”

Yan Yan looked around and saw that there were many clusters of bright and nameless flowers growing on the side of the two-person wide Tiankan Road in front of her.

White, yellow, blue...... Look at the eyes of the dazzled face.

"I don't want it, you can play it yourself! I went down to find my mother-in-law! You're not allowed to come down! ”

After Yan Feng finished speaking, he let go of Yan Yan's hand and walked slowly along a three-foot-wide path.

"Hey, sister, take a look! You'll love it! Sister. ”

When Yan Yan saw her sister Yan Feng, she left unmoved and without looking back, and shouted a little discouraged.

Forget it, I'll go myself!
