Chapter 80: Busy work
Not only cheerful, but also more abundant, Ah Mo from time to time into the forest, chasing butterflies and rabbits, although the rabbit did not catch it again, but bit a pheasant, biting on the chicken's feet, the pheasant was lame, Luo Qinghe stepped forward smartly.
"Dad, mother, I can add dinner in the evening." Luo Qinghe said with a smile.
Luo Dagen and Tian Cuizhu also laughed.
After half an hour, the group finally arrived at Tiangou Ao, Luo Qinghe had just come out of the forest, and what caught his eye was a blue brick house.
This is what kind of Zhuangzi I saw halfway up the mountain when I came to my aunt's house.
At this time, the vermilion gate was open, and there was a plaque with three big characters of "Qingshanzhuang" hanging on the gate, and several servants in it sat on the small pestle to choose vegetables, and when they heard the movement, they all looked up, and when they saw that it was the plainly dressed Luo Qinghe family, they smiled slightly, and nodded to the three of them.
Luo Qinghe and the others also nodded in return, and then walked through the house.
"Qingshan Villa, sure enough, is the Zhuangzi of a big family." After passing the house, Luo Qinghe sighed, after all, after a hurried glance just now, the servants he saw were all wearing cotton clothes, with gold or silver headdresses on their heads.
"Although life is good, they are all sold, there are many rules in big families, and there are all those who are killed, who will be slaves and maids in good families." Tian Cuizhu said, "Don't look at the glamorous appearance, it's easy to get into trouble." ”
Luo Qinghe looked at his mother with some surprise, and he saw it very thoroughly.
"There are big families in the town, and there are always days when they can't live in a few neighboring villages, and those who sell their sons and daughters all go to the big families to make a living." Tian Cuizhu said in a low voice.
Luo Qinghe knows, too, life in the world, how can there be a smooth life in life, different classes, different regions, people have troubles, people gather in a complex environment, the so-called mortals.
"Mother, it's good for us to live our own lives like this." Luo Qinghe said with a smile.
"Yes." Tian Cuizhu touched the top of Luo Qinghe's hair with a relieved face, "When it's time, I'll give you hot buns, I haven't eaten all the way, I'm in a hurry, I'm working, I'm hungry." ”
"Hmm." Luo Qinghe nodded, "I took the artichoke to make artichoke cakes for my father and mother, it was delicious." ”
Tian Cuizhu was a little worried, "Qinghe, if you eat badly, then you will suffer by yourself, and now the conditions at home are getting better and better, there is no need to eat that." ”
"Mother, don't worry, it's really no problem, by the way, it's ready, let's let this pheasant eat it first, it's fine, then we'll eat it again, okay?" Luo Qinghe proposed, how can good things be buried.
Tian Cuizhu nodded when he heard this, "Okay then." ”
After walking for another quarter of an hour, Tian Cuizhu looked at the adobe house in front of him with red eyes and said, "It's here." ”
Luo Qinghe took a look, there were four adobe houses, and there was a wall on the outside, although there were some gaps now.
"I'll tidy up the house first, and then you go and mend the wall." Tian Cuizhu took out a key from the money bag and opened the lock hanging on the wooden door of the primary color.
"Squeak-"
Pushing the door in, the yard was overgrown with weeds, but fortunately it was not very high.
"I haven't been here for months, so I'll pull the weeds first." Luo Dagen put down the basket and began to work.
Tian Cuizhu was not idle, unlocked all four adobe houses, opened the windows to ventilate the house, and then carried a bucket to go out.
"I'll come." Luo Dagen took it, "You two clean up the kang first." ”
After saying that, he walked out.
Tian Cuizhu was idle, she did the work that Luo Dagen did just now, pulling weeds, Luo Qinghe had to do it, and she didn't let her, let her clean up the kitchen, and clean up the cooking.
Luo Qinghe agreed, took a broom and swept the house, then found a rag, and when Luo Dagen came with water, he began to wipe the kang, tables and chairs, and then went to the kitchen to wipe the stove.
The family has been busy for most of the hour, and it has been much cleaner from the inside out.
"Boss, you rest, scrub it, I'll cook with Qinghe." Tian Cuizhu looked at Luo Dagen, who was sweating profusely and his clothes and pants were dirty, and felt a little distressed, he did the heavy work and tiring work.
"Okay." Luo Dagen directly took the bucket and a clean cloth towel handed over by Tian Cuizhu, and walked out, "I'll go directly to the stream to wash." ”
Luo Qinghe picked out more than a dozen of the potatoes dug up on the road, cleaned them, and then poured them into the cauldron, "Mother, let's eat artichoke cakes at noon, make a soup, and steam a few buns." ”
"Okay." Tian Cuizhu doted and said, her daughter is much more capable than before, and Luo Qinghe has also made great efforts today, Tian Cuizhu is very pleased.
"Don't forget to let the pheasants eat first." Tian Cuizhu said uneasily.
"Got it." Luo Qinghe heard the words and went to wash some more.
When the artichoke in the pot was soft, Luo Qinghe took it out, soaked it in cold water with his hands, and quickly removed the skin of the artichoke.
Tian Cuizhu was distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly took over the work in Luo Qinghe's hands, "Mother, you are still young and not resistant to scalding, don't hurt your hands." ”
Tian Cuizhu's hands and feet were nimble, and after a while, all the potatoes were peeled.
Luo Qinghe took a potato and pinched a small piece, went out and threw it in front of the pheasant, the pheasant leaned close and tilted his head to look at it, then pecked it tentatively with his mouth, knowing that it could be eaten, and pecked more happily.
"Wait a few hours, and if the pheasant is okay, we'll eat it again." Tian Cuizhu insisted.
"Okay." Luo Qinghe obediently responded, but at this time, it seems that there is no chance to eat artichoke cakes at noon.
"Mother, let's eat potato cakes again in the evening." Luo Qinghe took the initiative to say.
"Okay." Tian Cuizhu nodded happily, if there is no problem with the pheasant at night, then he will not worry about eating it at home.
Tian Cuizhu was busy hot buns and making wild vegetable soup, and when it was almost ready, Luo Dagen also came back and was drying cloth towels in the yard.
"The head of the house, it's time to eat." Tian Cuizhu shouted, "Let's carry the table to the courtyard, and the house is always darker." ”
"Okay." Luo Dagen picked up a small square table, Tian Cuizhu moved two stools, Luo Qinghe took one, and then brought the buns and wild vegetable soup to the table, and the family of three ate it hot.
Tian Cuizhu also scooped a bowl of wild vegetable soup with a little oil flower for Ah Mo, after all, it was put with two pieces of pig's trotters.
These two pieces of pig's trotters, Tian Cuizhu gave them to Luo Dagen and Luo Qinghe, and the women in this township are also like this, and the good ones are left to their own men and children.
Of course, Luo Dagen and Luo Qinghe refused to eat alone, but in the end, they still "succumbed" to Tian Cuizhu's sharp glare, and gnawed the pig's trotters clean.
Gnaw clean and don't waste it, let Amo bite and play.
After dinner, Luo Dagen went to the town, "I'll go and talk to my father and mother about Ah Mo, and then buy some incense and candles to come back, and when I come back, we will go to worship my father again." ”
