Chapter 68: Persimmon Picking
"There are still a lot of persimmons on the top of this persimmon tree that have not been picked, and some have been eaten by birds, but it's a pity, big sister, next time we will come up early to pick them!" The fifth sister looked at the persimmons that could not be picked at the top of the persimmon tree, and after being eaten by the birds, the fifth sister said with some pity.
"Eldest sister, you eat this persimmon, it's delicious." After the fifth sister saw her fourth brother pulling this silent persimmon, she didn't slow to pull a persimmon and eat it, and she didn't have time to speak.
This persimmon tastes crisp and sweet, and there is an astringent persimmon with a core, and after eating the persimmon, there is an astringent taste in the mouth, and it sticks to these and that things (the author can't describe the feeling).
Otherwise, sweet persimmons without a core can be made into persimmon cakes.
Pitted persimmons can't be made.
"I've almost eaten it, I can't eat it again today." After Huang Yiyun saw that his younger siblings had eaten a few persimmons, he hurriedly stopped them when he saw that they still wanted to eat them.
Although persimmons are delicious, they should not be eaten more, eating more is not good for the stomach, and persimmons are cold things, so people with bad stomach should not eat more.
"It's not too early, let's go down the mountain." After Huang Conghe looked at the sky, he saw that it was not too early.
Huang Yiyun and the second sister also climbed out first with the fourth brother and the fifth sister.
Leave a rope and pull the back basket containing the persimmon out of the back.
He also asked the fourth brother and the fifth sister to climb back into the valley with a rope.
A rope was tied to the basket, and after pulling it back, the fourth and fifth sisters were asked to climb back to the valley with the rope.
Repeatedly, the fourth brother and the fifth sister are tired of becoming dogs.
"I'm so tired, I knew I was so tired, so I took my sixth sister and seventh brother up the mountain together. Is it easier for them to climb into this valley because they are smaller? But I'm tired of my old waist. After carrying all the persimmons out of the valley, the fifth sister sat aside, beat her waist, and said in an old-fashioned manner.
There were nearly ten persimmons picked by the Huang family, and it took them two trips to transport these persimmons back.
After the persimmons are transported back, the unripe persimmons are directly put into the rice bran, and the ripe persimmons are directly placed in the corner of the room.
........。
Time slowly came to the beginning of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.
It's snowing now.
Families in Qingshan Village stay in their own kang houses or firewood houses to keep warm.
The women's families sew and mend and do some housework, while the men's families go to the town to find work to do and fill the household when they are idle farmers.
Huang Conghe found a job as a small worker in the town, twenty copper plates a day, including a meal.
Now the Huang family stays in the fire room.
Huang Liu's and Huang Jiang's concubines are sewing and mending in the firewood rice.
Now that it's snowing, a few small ones can catch birds in the snow.
It's just that the birds in Qingshan Village don't know whether they are more shrewd or have food to eat, but there are fewer birds that fall into the trap.
You can only catch a dozen or so a day.
The Huang family eats the birds they catch every seven days.
Mostly barbecue.
Even when the Huang family eats, most of them eat in the fire room, roast sweet potatoes to eat, or make a pot and pile it on the firewood to make hot pot to eat.
"Hey, where is the third sister, and the second sister has often disappeared recently?" After Huang Jiangshi made breakfast and greeted the few small people in the family to eat, he asked after not seeing the second and third sisters.
"Mother, I know this, the second sister went out with a basket of persimmons, and the third sister also went out later." The fifth sister raised her hand and said to the Huangjiang clan.
"Eldest sister, you go out to find the second sister and the third sister, and let the two of them come back for dinner." Huang Li instructed Huang Yiyun.
"Okay, eldest sister, let's go out."
As soon as Huang Yiyun went out, he met the second sister coming back with an empty basket on the left, and the third sister came slowly from the right.
"It's time for dinner at home." Huang Yiyun shouted.
It's just that after the second sister and the third sister saw their eldest sister, the second sister's eyes were a little evasive, and her face was slightly red.
The third sister lowered her head even more, her face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look up at her eldest sister.
After Huang Yiyun saw them like this, his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh together.
The third sister is twelve years old this year, and the third sister is ten years old this year?
"The second sister and the third sister have grown up, maybe there are some things that you can't tell your grandma and mothers, but you can tell the eldest sister, there are some things that you can do and can't do, you two have to know, do you understand what the eldest sister means?" Huang Yiyun stepped forward and hugged the shoulders of the second and third sisters, and pinched the back.
"Eldest sister, second sister knows. In the future, the second sister will tell the eldest sister about something. The second sister's face was slightly red, and then she looked at her eldest sister and said.
In the second sister's mind, her eldest sister is smart, capable and strong, and compared to Huang Liu, the second sister is sometimes closer to the eldest sister, and she is more willing to say some things to the eldest sister.
"The third sister also knows." The third sister also nodded solemnly and replied.
"Now that grandpa and dad are not at home, there is only one male pillar in the family, and the uncle has just settled in Qingshan Village not long ago, so you have to be more careful and don't leave anyone to handle it. Also, what is more important than the reputation of our girl's family. Do you two understand? Huang Yiyun thought about it and said again.
"Eldest sister, second sister understands, not next time." The second sister replied with a pale face.
"The third sister won't either." The third sister replied in a low voice.
"You're all still ........"
........。
"You three sisters are back, come in for dinner." After Huang Liu saw the three eldest sisters walking with their arms and talking and laughing, Huang Liu smiled and waved to the three sisters of Huang Yiyun.
There is no patriarchal thinking in the Huang family, whether it is grandfather Huang Pingcheng, or father Huang Congjiang or Huang Liu, they do not despise or despise their sisters because Huang Yiyun sisters are female babies.
"Second sister and third sister, you two are early in the morning, where did you go." A wooden table was set up in the firewood room, and Huang Li sat down and asked.
Eating steamed buns and pickles today, Huang Yiyun held a steamed bun in one hand, held chopsticks in the other, and took a bite of salted beans with chopsticks and steamed buns, as if he hadn't heard Huang Li's question.
"Grandma, my third sister and I are idle, we just go out for a walk. By the way, I carried a basket of persimmons to Liu's house and gave it to Sister Yun'er to eat. The second sister replied without hesitation.
"Well, next time you want to go out for a walk, don't go out early in the morning, just wait for the weather to warm up before going out for a walk." Huang Li glanced at the second sister and the third sister, and saw that there was no difference on their faces.
"Well, the second sister knows."
"Grandma, the third sister also knows, I'll pay attention next time." The third sister also nodded.
