Chapter Fifty-Six: Stealing Wine
Seeing Grandma Liu walking away with the little baby in her arms, Ah Xiu loosened her clenched fists and turned around.
He wanted to snatch the girl back.
This thought exhausted all his restraint.
Still, he was very happy.
Looking at the burning clouds on the horizon that are becoming more and more intense, they all feel bright and dazzling.
Sheng Sheng, also reluctant to him.
I used to think that escaping from that place would only turn my life from walking on thin ice to a pool of stagnant water.
Unexpectedly, in his world, a sheng sheng would break into, bring waves to him, and paint bright colors in his field.
Shengsheng, Shengsheng.
Back at the cabin, Ah Xiu Niang had just packed up the medicinal herbs to dry in the yard and baked cakes in the stove room.
For dinner, they almost always eat this.
Ah Xiu Niang's cooking skills are not very good.
Fortunately, there are delicious green vegetables sent by the Liu family, even if they are only scalded with boiling water, they are delicious when rolled in cakes.
"I haven't stopped laughing since I came back, and that's why I can make you so happy." With a joke, the cake was served, "Let's eat." ”
"Mother, eat."
At the dinner table, there is almost no sound, and the dining etiquette is extremely elegant.
It wasn't until she finished eating that Ah Xiuniang hesitated slightly, "Xiu'er, we've been here for more than a year, and if you stay at home all the time, it's tantamount to wasting your schoolwork." This time to supply the medicinal wine recipe to the winery, you should be able to get a sum of silver, my mother thought, send you to school, pick up your homework again, what do you think? ”
"Mother, ordinary schools can't teach me anything." Before he fled from that place, his knowledge was second only to that of a scholar.
If you want to learn something more profound, you must enter the best academy and find the best Confucian.
But their situation does not allow it.
Ah Xiu Niang was silent for a long time and smiled bitterly, "Mother really doesn't know if it is good for you or harmful to you if she brought you out." ”
"Mother, if you don't come out, the child may be crazy now, what kind of knowledge can you talk about? The mother thinks too much, and it is a mediocrity to disturb herself. What's more, in the future, we will live here, and the rural farmers, no matter how high their knowledge, will be of little use. ”
"Xiu'er, you tell your mother, you really ...... Want to live in a place like this for the rest of your life? ”
"Isn't it good here?" Ah Xiu asked rhetorically, and Ah Xiu Niang was speechless for a long time.
It's not bad, it's just that it shouldn't be where he lives, he is the pride of the sky.
However, she didn't want him to go back there again, anytime and anywhere, to prevent people from eating people.
"That's it, if you make up your mind, your mother depends on you, but you can't let go of learning, no matter whether it is useful or not, it's better than not knowing. Huihui will find some suitable books for you, and you can study on your own. ”
"Okay." Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ah Xiu's face again.
As long as you don't leave here, it's fine.
Liu's family, after dinner, Old Man Liu shouted and was ready to go out with Liu Yusheng in his arms.
Because of the winery, the entire Xinghua Village was in a state of excitement during this time.
After dinner, the villagers did not go to bed early as before, but gathered in twos and threes under the ancient locust tree at the entrance of the village to chat.
Talking about the winery, talking about the scale of the building, talking about the fruit wine, and talking about the recruitment of workers in the future, all of them are related to the winery, and I don't get tired of talking about it.
The two boys saw that their sister was about to be taken away by their grandfather again, so they hurriedly stopped, "Grandpa, you old men are chatting there, how boring a little doll is, we will take her out to play later, you can go out by yourself!" ”
"Hey, little rabbit, I'm robbing people with my grandfather, where are you going to play with this black light?"
"Grandpa, don't worry about it, let's go, let's go!" The two babies teamed up to push the old man out of the door.
"It's okay to play, just in the village, watch the little girl, or come back and take a closer look at your skin!"
"Got it!"
After being questioned by the family one by one, the two boys pulled Liu Yusheng and quietly touched the cellar mouth.
"Brother, what are you going to do?"
"Shhhh Be quiet! Liu Zhiqiu hurriedly covered Liu Yusheng's small mouth, "Nannan, let's go get some wine, I told Dabao and them today, bring some fruit wine to them to taste, and they will also bring some delicious things at home to exchange, don't make a noise, we will pretend to be a small half pot and take you to dinner!" ”
Liu Yusheng was speechless, take the wine, take the wine, grape and fruit wine can also be drunk by children, just talk to the family, as for being a thief in your own home.
But he nodded cooperatively, and made a cautious appearance, and then stood at the mouth of the cellar to let the brothers out.
Mrs. Liu came over with a bag of snacks, and saw her little granddaughter hurriedly gesturing to her, meaning to ask her to be quieter.
The little hand pointed to the cellar again.
Oh~ The two boys stole wine.
"Grandma, you just pretend not to know, don't scold my brother." Lowering his voice, Liu Yusheng admonished.
"Okay, grandma is so boring," stuffed the snack into the baby's pocket and touched her little face, "go play for a while and you should come back, don't be too late, or grandma will have to look for you." ”
"Got it, thank you grandma, grandma is the best!"
Mrs. Liu smiled and walked away, "These babies are really, can the old woman still be reluctant to drink that little wine?" ”
Let them go as they please.
The little brothers didn't know that there was such an episode, they just thought that they had hidden it from everyone in the family, hid the wine jug, took their sister by the hand, and went out happily.
On autumn nights, the sky is dotted with bright moons and stars, closing the earth in a layer of haze.
Even if there is no light, it is faintly transparent.
The three of them went straight to the fields by the green river, and before they could reach it, they could hear the noise of children in the distance.
"Eh, know summer, know autumn, nan! Here, here, hurry up, why did it take so long, I almost thought you weren't coming! Dabao jumped out of the crowd and shouted excitedly at the three of them.
"How can you not come, it's all said, we can still talk and don't count?" Liu Zhiqiu walked over, raised his chin, and patted the kettle on his waist with one hand, "Oh, grape fruit wine, I brought it to you." ”
"Did you really bring it? Hurry up, let's try it! "The friends roared around, and their eyes lit up.
"What's the hurry, what about you, bring something here, don't want it to be delicious, and don't want it to be spicy, my sister can't eat spicy."
Liu Yusheng stood beside him, and saw that the babies were pulling things out of their pockets, and the light was dim, and they couldn't see what they were.
However, the atmosphere is fun, carefree and relaxing.
"Whoever brought the flint and steel, put a handful of the stacks on fire, how do you look at it so dark?"
After the farm is over, people will tie the remaining rice stalks in the field into bundles, stack them together, and dry them in the field, and then move them home when they can use them. After so many days in the sun, the straw has long been dry and can burn at a point.
Liu Zhixia took the flint from a small friend, pulled it out on the straw stack in the field, and lit it.
Suddenly, the whole small space lit up.
