Chapter 133: Reconciliation
Zhong Lotus runs out to pick wild vegetables every day when his father and brother go to the field, otherwise the family will not be able to open the pot.
When she came out of the house, she made up her mind to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, but in order to avoid his father, she could only take a detour from other places, and when she came to the third uncle's house, she was stopped by Uncle Zhong Xia.
"Uncle Zhong Xia, is there something wrong with you?" Zhong Lotus heard someone calling her, so she stopped and walked towards the person.
"Digging wild vegetables again?" Zhong Xia looked at the basket in her hand and asked.
"Yes." Zhong Lotus nodded.
"Oh, go dig in the field over there, if no one digs, we will dispose of it when the time comes." Zhong Xia pointed to the ground that had not yet been turned over there, and said to Zhong Lotus.
"Let me dig in the ground, Uncle Zhong Xia, my third uncle, the third uncle will say it when he knows." Zhong Lotus's head shook like a rattle, the relationship between her family and the third uncle's family had long been broken, and she didn't dare to go.
"No, he'll allow it, go ahead." It's useless to keep so many wild vegetables, Zhong Dashan doesn't eat this thing, they have a lot of wild vegetables at home, it's not bad, they can leave a lot of them when they turn the ground, and bringing them back can only be regarded as adding vegetables, unlike what they use to survive.
"Uncle Zhong Xia, you didn't lie to me, did you?" Zhong Lotus looked at Zhong Xia suspiciously, don't let him make his own decisions, she can't hurt him.
"No, without Dashan to speak, I can't be the master." He wouldn't lose his job for someone else, it's a lot of people's worries, and he's not stupid.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhong Xia." At this moment, Zhong Lotus did not hesitate, and went to other open fields to dig wild vegetables with the basket.
There are quite a lot of wild vegetables in the open space, and after a while, Zhong Lotus dug a basket, she went out today with a basket, and when it was full, there was nothing to fill with wild vegetables, so Zhong Lotus decided to go home and change the basket.
When she arrived at the door of the house, she met Peach Blossom who went out to dig wild vegetables, and when she saw the wild vegetables in her basket, she ran towards her with a surprised face.
"Lotus, a lot of wild vegetables, where did you dig it from, tell me quickly." There are so many wild vegetables, this basket of wild vegetables can be eaten for a day, but she has found many places, and there is no trace of wild vegetables, and they have been poached by other people in the village.
Zhongjia Village is not big, it's quite big, it's not small, it's not as good as the next few villages, but there are sixty or seventy households, and each family has a very large population, so many mouths to eat, no matter how many wild vegetables are enough, it is not enough for so many of them.
Nowadays, for the sake of a little wild vegetables, everyone is very protective of food, and fights are staged every day, just to have more wild vegetables.
Seeing that the lotus dug up so many wild vegetables, how could she not be red-eyed, this is food, used to fill her stomach.
"I picked it from my third uncle's field." Zhong Lotus did not hide the peach blossom in the slightest, and said it very directly.
"You went secretly?" Peach Blossom felt that the lotus was so bold that she dared to dig wild vegetables in their field.
"It's not. I'll go back first. Zhong Lotus didn't plan to say more, it's not that she didn't take her with her, but she didn't have that right, and now she was thankful that she could dig up wild vegetables.
Peach Blossom watched the lotus enter the door of her house, so she simply didn't leave, just waited outside, and after a while, she saw the lotus come out.
"Lotus, I'll go with you." Peach Blossom thinks very simply, she and Lotus are good friends, and if Lotus can be digged, then she should be able to dig too.
The lotus glanced at the peach blossom, frowned slightly, and then let go again, did not speak, and walked forward in a muffled voice.
Peach blossom thought that the lotus acquiesced, happily followed, today she has to dig a lot of wild vegetables, these two days have not dug up wild vegetables, she is hungry every day before going to bed, at night can not sleep well, uncomfortable to death, I don't know how long such a day will pass, she is a little unable to persevere, she has no other requirements just want to fill her stomach.
Peach Blossom followed the lotus all the way, and when she saw that she was about to walk into Zhong Dashan's house, she immediately grabbed the sleeve of the lotus.
"Lotus, you take me in, I've been hungry for the past two days. It's uncomfortable. Peach Blossom looked at the lotus with a pitiful look.
Lotus is the most soft-hearted, seeing her friend so pitiful, she will definitely not disagree.
However, this time she made a mistake, if it was something else, Lotus might have taken pity on her and help her, but this time she did not agree.
"Peach Blossom, I can't take you in." If it weren't for the third uncle's permission for her to go in, how could she dare to go in, and Peach Blossom didn't know the relationship between their family and the third uncle's family, so how could she be embarrassed to open this mouth.
"What's not to do, it's nothing to have one more." Peach Blossom was stunned for a moment, her face was a little ugly, and her tone of voice changed a little.
"This is not my family's land, if you want to go in, you can go to my third uncle yourself."
"Lotus, why don't you help me talk about it." Let her go to Zhong Dashan, no, no, no, she didn't dare to go.
"Peach Blossom, you have to dig wild vegetables, what's the use of you not going to me yourself." Zhong Lotus was also a little unhappy, this land is not her home, how can she be the master.
"Lotus, you ......"
"What are you arguing about, the lotus digging wild vegetables is agreed by the mountain, and the peach blossom If you want to dig wild vegetables, go to the mountain yourself." In this area, Zhong Dashan's land has not been harmed, it's not that they don't want to, but they don't dare, they all expect Zhong Dashan to give him a job to do, so naturally they won't do anything that offends him.
"Lotus, you can help me." Peach Blossom was startled by Zhong Xia and continued to pester the lotus.
"Peach Blossom, I really can't help with this. Say it yourself. "Lotus also found out for the first time that Peach Blossom is so unreasonable and aggressive, she can't do it, and she can't help it!
"Lotus, you are still not my good friend, since he agreed to you to dig wild vegetables, it means that he still cares about you, and it is better for you to say it than for me to say it."
"Peach Blossom, didn't you hear what Uncle Zhong Xia said, if you want to dig wild vegetables in the field, go to my third uncle by yourself." The lotus blossom broke free and grabbed her arm, and what she said was so clear, why didn't she listen.
Zhong Dashan approached, listened carefully to the words of the two of them, and dared to quarrel over wild vegetables.
He's so scary that he doesn't even dare to come over and say a word about himself?
"Lotus, what are you talking about?" Zhong Dashan pretended not to hear their conversation and asked out loud.
"Third uncle." When Zhong Lotus heard Zhong Dashan's voice, she stiffened, turned around a little and looked at him.
"Uncle Oyama." The peach blossom's movements were almost the same as those of the lotus flower, and he lowered his head and called softly.
I don't know if Uncle Dashan heard her conversation with Lotus.
"What are you two arguing about?" Zhong Dashan asked again.
"Nothing, nothing." Peach Blossom was one step ahead of Lotus and quickly shook her head.
"yes, we didn't say anything." The lotus flower seemed to wipe the cold sweat oozing from her forehead, why did the third uncle come here at this hour, didn't he go out?
She had seen the carriage leave the village before.
Zhong Dashan looked at the two of them, and saw that they didn't want to say, and he didn't bother to get involved, "Do you want to dig wild vegetables, there are still them over there, go dig them yourself." ”
"Uncle Dashan, can I do it too?" Peach Blossom raised her head suddenly, looked at Zhong Dashan in disbelief, and asked weakly.
"Yes. Go dig it. But don't bring too many people over. "The wild vegetables in the field are wild themselves, and they won't stop them if they want to dig them, but they are not allowed too many people to come, and if there are too many people, there will be a lot of noise, and there will be all kinds of arguments.
The woman had been fighting several times in the past over the wild herbs, and he didn't want to bring trouble into his own land.
"Thank you, Uncle Dashan, thank you." Peach Blossom said words of thanks to Zhong Dashan with a grateful face.
"Go dig for wild vegetables." After speaking, Zhong Dashan walked directly towards Zhong Xia's side.
After Zhong Dashan left, Lotus turned around directly and went to the field where she dug wild vegetables before, ignoring the peach blossoms.
Peach Blossom looked at the back of the lotus flower leaving, pursed her lips, a little annoyed, she shouldn't have said those words just now, but she was really afraid of Uncle Dashan, Uncle Dashan just stood here, she trembled, not to mention letting herself talk to him, she probably couldn't express the meaning clearly.
The lotus grinded, and her heart was entangled for a long time, and finally walked towards the lotus, and apologized if she was wrong, she didn't feel any shame, and she didn't want to lose the lotus's friend.
Speaking of which, this is actually a very small matter.
"Lotus, are you angry with me?" Peach Blossom asked cautiously with a smiling face.
"Nope." Lotus said in a somewhat stiff voice.
Saying no, in fact, there is still some unhappiness in the heart, Peach Blossom can't understand herself, if the relationship between the two families is good, let her come forward to say it, she will definitely help this if she doesn't say a word, but the problem is that the two of them are incompatible, what face does she have to say.
"If you have, you're just upset, otherwise you wouldn't have left without saying a word."
"I told you, why do you have to let me go."
"Okay, I was wrong, I was just afraid, really, you don't know how Uncle Dashan felt when I stood there just now, I felt like I was about to faint. It's scary. She didn't know why, she was just scared.
"How so? It's okay. "She's scared, too, but it's not that serious.
"What's the matter, I'm still in a cold sweat on my back." If it weren't for the inappropriate place, they would all want the lotus to touch whether what she said was true or false.
"Hehe, I also have a lot of cold sweat on my forehead."
"It's okay not to be angry." Seeing her smile, Peach Blossom made persistent efforts, hoping that Lotus would forget the unpleasantness just now.
"Alright, alright, it's okay, let's dig up wild vegetables." It's not that she really doesn't want to pay attention to Peach Blossom, it's just that she was really angry just now, and Peach Blossom came to apologize to her, how could she still be angry with her.
How could she not understand, Peach Blossom did nothing more than to fill her stomach, it was not easy for everyone, she should be considerate of her.
"Well, are we still good friends?"
"Of course." How could she no longer be friends for such a small matter, she is not so cautious.
"Thank you Lotus."
