Chapter 56: Looking for Someone
In the evening of this day, Bai Mingxuan came back and happened to be free, washed her hands, said hello to Bai Minglan and went out.
She planned to go to Zhang Mazi's house to inquire and see what the situation was at their house, so as not to know when people came.
Walking all the way, I found Chunhua's house, and after walking over there for a while, I saw a jujube tree with dense branches and leaves, this jujube tree looked like it was a little old, growing on the edge of the yard fenced by a fence, and most of its body leaned out.
Bai Mingxuan took a closer look into the yard, two chickens were walking around inside, and there was no figure in the house, she was a little hesitant to call someone.
Directly shouting? How do you answer if the other person smells? According to Tao Erniang, their family doesn't treat this grandson very well, and they definitely don't want outsiders to know too much, not to mention that the Bai family usually doesn't seem to have any dealings with their family, so they take the liberty of calling people, even if they are now a child, I'm afraid they won't be liked, right?
Don't shout? So how can she find out when the little brother of Yangmei will appear? I can't find out the slightest information, isn't this trip in vain?
After hesitating, Bai Mingxuan was shouted by the person behind her.
"Hey, which one are you looking for?"
When I turned around, I found that it was a young daughter-in-law with a gray headscarf that I didn't know, and a smile immediately bloomed on her face, "嬢 (niang) 嬢, I want to find someone." ”
嬢嬢 is the name of the younger generation here for the married female elders, similar to the honorific title of "aunt".
Seeing Bai Mingxuan's well-behaved appearance, the young daughter-in-law's attitude immediately softened, and her tone improved a lot, "Who are you looking for?" Let's talk about whether I recognize it or not. ”
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Mingxuan still decided to tell her, what if it was useful?
"I came to find a little brother, and he said that this is his grandfather's house, and I can come here to find him." Bai Mingxuan blinked his eyes and pointed inside, he didn't blush at all when he lied, anyway, he didn't say it wrong, this is indeed his grandfather's house!
"Oh~ I was looking for him." The young daughter-in-law suddenly thought to herself, no wonder she couldn't find anyone standing outside and didn't dare to go in, as a neighbor, she still knew a thing or two about Zhang Mazi's family, "What are you looking for him?" ”
After asking, without waiting for Bai Mingxuan to think about how to answer, she directly found a good reason for herself, child, of course he is playing with him, what else can he do. Then he continued:
"Then you're going to be in vain, and you're sure you won't find anyone now. He won't be coming for a few days. ”
"Ah...... So when is he coming? Bai Mingxuan looked disappointed, and her tone was regretful.
"Whew, don't worry!" The young daughter-in-law smiled and said the news that Bai Mingxuan wanted to know, "It's been hot recently, I'm afraid he will come less, and it is estimated that he will have to wait for half a month." ”
"It's been so long......"
The young woman looked at Bai Mingxuan's disappointed appearance, and thought to herself that the child was forgetful, no matter how good the playmate was, it was estimated that he would forget it after half a month, not to mention that he was also a half-adult, and he had to raise himself by himself, so I am afraid that he would not have time to play with you.
He comforted casually: "Originally, I came almost every half a month, but it was hot in summer, I'm afraid it was because the mountains were cool, so I didn't come much, and I was reluctant to come down after a few days of rain and coolness?" ”
got the news she wanted, and saw that she was casually comforting, so Bai Mingxuan didn't stay any longer, "So that's the case, I know, thank you for telling me!" ”
"I can't thank you for something casual!" Seeing Bai Mingxuan's little people thank each other seriously, she couldn't help but smile.
I almost forgot that this was not a previous life, children have not yet developed the habit of casually saying thanks, and it is even more formal in the countryside, and children feel like they are imitating adults.
Bai Mingxuan smiled a little embarrassedly, she didn't expect that her self-righteous maturity would only make people laugh under the appearance of a child, it seems that she should pay more attention in the future.
After hearing this, Bai Mingxuan originally planned to wait for another half a month, after all, she had waited for so many days, and it was not half a month. didn't expect to meet him again in half a month.
The plants in summer are growing like crazy, and the vegetables in the Bai family's vegetable garden have gradually matured, but most of these are to be sold at a stall in Taoxi Town, and in order to be thrifty, the Bai family's daughters still have to go out to pick wild vegetables.
In summer, wild vegetables are also abundant like the plants on the mountain, not only the growth is gratifying, but also the varieties are more abundant, and some summer exclusive foods are picked at this time.
For example, water chestnut and lettuce that grow in water, sunflower, violet, and scallion that grow in the ground, and knotweed that grows in moist places and can be used as a spicy condiment, etc......
