Chapter 18: Dinner
Liu Feng didn't arrive home when he went down the mountain, so he made a rabbit cage directly at Xia He's house, and then left with Qiaofeng, who secretly visited his sister-in-law.
Xia He cleaned up the wood waste left over from Liu Feng's work and went back to the house to eat.
Today, Xia He felt in his heart that there are still many people in this world who care about him, including Liu Feng, Aunt Liu, sister-in-law Qiaofeng, and neighbor Aunt Zhang.
The heart is beautiful, the meal is also very sweet, and I haven't been to see Aunt Zhang for a few days, thinking about selling this batch of medicinal materials and then going over, buying something for the aunt, Aunt Zhang has taken care of herself over the years.
Four days have passed, everyone is full of energy, and when they want to go down the mountain, Xia He asked everyone: "Should we go to each house to weigh the medicinal materials, and then see if it is enough, if it is not enough, we will go up the mountain to dig tomorrow, do you think so?" Xia He looked at these people who had been tired for a day and felt a little distressed.
Liu Feng looked back at everyone: "What Xia He said is right, let's go down the mountain in a while, Xia He and I will go to each house to weigh the catties and count them." ”
"Okay, okay, listen to Xia He's sister-in-law." Several people said in unison.
After going down the mountain, Liu Feng took Xia He and began to count the catties one by one.
When he walked to the fourth house, Xia He calculated, it was already beyond the number of catties outside the contract, this Xia He was really a little surprised, and he summed up in his heart: Can the old shopkeeper of the pharmacy accept this excess catty? What is the price to receive? It's all unknown. However, the villagers all followed themselves to dig it, and they couldn't help but be creditworthy, no matter how much it exceeded, they had to pay it according to the number of catties.
Let's continue to weigh it, when I walked to Liu Feng's house, the sky gradually got dark.
Entering the courtyard, Liu Feng hurriedly shouted to the old lady: "Mother, mother, I'm going home, look at who I brought to you?" As he spoke, he turned around and looked at Xia He who was following behind him with a smile.
Xia He also took a few steps to keep up with Liu Feng and asked, "Is the old lady at home?" ”
"My mother doesn't usually go out, she's at home." Liu Feng said.
At this time, a white-haired old lady staggered out of the house: "Feng'er, you are back, why did you come back so late today?" My mother has been cooking for a long time. ”
As he was talking, he saw Xia He behind him: "Oh, Xia He, this baby is here, come into the house, come into the house, hard-working child!" "The old lady let Xia He go, and at the same time rushed over to 'quack' to bite Xia He's goose.
Xia He was so frightened that he dragged Liu Feng's clothes and ran behind him, and said loudly: "Your geese are so powerful, it's too scary!" ”
Liu Feng said with a smile: "You don't always come to my house, if you come often, the goose will know you, and it won't be like this." ”
After running a few steps into the house, the geese in the courtyard also stopped crying, and the small courtyard returned to calm.
Liu Feng looked at Xia He with a smile and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Xia He also said with a smile.
Aunt Liu sat next to Xia He, took Xia He's hand and asked distressedly: "Child, I heard about you, your mother-in-law is too disagreeable to you, you are still pregnant and treat you like this, your man left you and your mother again, how can you live as a widow and an unemployed woman in the future?" After speaking, Aunt Liu tugged on the placket of her clothes and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Liu Feng saw that the old lady was so busy and said: "Mother, Xia He is not what you think, she is different from the Xia He we knew before, I feel stronger than me!" Do you say it's not Xia He? He looked back at Xia He with a smile.
Xia He hurriedly patted the eldest mother's hand and comforted with a smile: "It's okay aunt, my Xia He has hands and feet, and you kind people help me, there is nothing that can't live." On the contrary, I have to live well, not for anything else, but also for me, an unborn child! ”
Hearing Xia He say this, Aunt Liu looked at Xia He with a smile and praised: "This child is really backbone, your mother-in-law is so stupid, I don't feel sorry to have such a good daughter-in-law, but I want to drive out of the house, it's really a loss of conscience!" ”
After talking for a while, Xia He Zhang Luo is famous for his medicinal materials.
That's a third more weight.
"You see how much more, if it doesn't work, my won't count the catties, I'll go to the town myself and see if I can sell it." Liu Feng scratched his head and said.
"How's that going to work?" Xia He said busily.
"Let's find a car tomorrow to send the medicinal herbs to the pharmacy, and see if the old shopkeeper can collect them all, if not, I Xia He will also pay everyone's Wenyin." Then let's figure it out. Xia He said.
At this time, the old lady had already brought the food up, and beckoned Xia He to hurry over to eat: "Child, you eat at the eldest mother's house, you have to cook when you go home, just eat here, there is nothing good to eat at home, don't pick the eldest mother." ”
Xia He originally wanted to go home immediately, but when he heard what the eldest mother said, he was embarrassed to leave.
Hurriedly said: "Aunt Haole, I'll wash my hands and go over to eat with Liu Feng." After speaking, look at Liu Feng who was squatting on the ground to sort out the medicinal herbs.
"Leave him alone, you come over and we'll eat first." After saying that, he coughed a few times.
Liu Feng raised his head and said to Xia He enviously: "It seems that my mother is so good to you, she has forgotten my own son!" ”
Xia He sneered and said, "Hurry up, I really have to eat quickly, there are still a few little guys waiting for me to go back!" ”
Liu Feng stood up in response and went back to the house to eat on the kang.
During the meal, Aunt Liu kept putting vegetables in the Xia He bowl: "Look at your thinness, you have to eat more, and the child also needs nutrition, you are in good health, and the child is healthy!" ”
While eating, Xia He blocked the bowl and said, "Auntie, I'm full, I've eaten enough at your house today, thank you, Auntie." After a few bites, he put down his chopsticks.
"This kid, what is your family and my family, you will come to the house often in the future, and I will cook it for you if you like to eat."
"Mmmm, I must come often, I haven't thanked my aunt for the shoes, the shoes you made are so beautiful, I can't bear to wear them!" As he spoke, Xia He took the cloth shoes and put them on his feet.
Aunt Liu heard Xia He talk about shoes, as if she remembered something, she quickly got up, went to the cabinet and took out a pair of the same cloth shoes and said: "Child, Auntie doesn't have any good things, every day at home is to do housework, make clothes for Feng'er, make shoes." Feng'er came back and said that when you wore the shoes I made, I was very happy, didn't I make you another pair, you take it back and wear it, don't be reluctant to wear it, if it is worn out, the aunt will do it again. ”
Xia He's eyes were already moved to tears at this time, and he hurriedly took the shoes, crying and said, "Auntie, you are so good to Xia He, thank you, Auntie." ”
In this way, Xia He took his shoes and walked out.
Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "What is this kid busy with, let Liu Feng send you." ”
"Got it, mother." Liu Feng was already around Xia He, driving the big white goose to escort Xia He out of the yard.
After being discharged from the hospital, Xia He hurriedly said: "You go back, I dare to leave by myself."
Liu Feng hurriedly said: "I'll send you across the river, don't worry about the black light." ”
couldn't resist Liu Feng, Xia He no longer insisted on going by himself, and the two of them walked side by side to Xia He's house while planning to deliver tomorrow morning.
At this time, two big men rushed out of the face, blocking the way of the two, shouting: "Shameless guys, you still have to be shameless when you are blind in the black light!" ”
