Chapter 16 Live diligently

Sister Qiu's palm resting under the table clenched Jia's palm, and in the other palm pinched half of Jia's nest that Jia's had saved from his mouth. In her previous life, although she was dissatisfied with life due to her mother's eccentricity, when she got here, she realized that compared to Mao's harshness and unreasonableness, her mother in her previous life had never starved her, froze her, abused her, or scavenged her.

From the moment she came, she understood that she should not be able to go back to the world, she should no longer be in the world, if she wants to live a good life and cherish this hard-won opportunity to live a new life, she can only put up with the Mao family for the time being, and endure the bullying of the second family.

When it dawned, she wanted to take off the wooden table, and the Mao family and the second family were full of porridge!

At this time, there was a gentle sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and a still young child's voice came from the courtyard, "Plum milk, my mother asked me to return the leather basket." ”

The second aunt glanced at Mao's family, hurriedly put down the nest in her hand and went out, and said with a smile: "Yo, Dayin, why did you take the time to return the leather basket, have you eaten?" Let's put it at my aunt's house and eat a little. ”

Dayin's laughter was heard clearly in the room, "Don't eat, I just ate at home, and I'm full." Here, second aunt, this is the leather basket that my mother asked me to come over. ”

In less than a moment, Aunt Mei came in, holding a round leather basket one foot long, Sister Qiu took a look, it was actually a bamboo sieve, which was used for sieving noodles, and the people in Xiaohe Town called it a leather basket. When Lao Xiucai's father was still alive, Mei's family was very diligent, sifting the fine noodles he brought home every month to roll noodles for the steamed noodles and dry food of Da Niu Er Niu to eat, but now it is basically useless.

"Eh, I think this leather basket should be given to the Great Seal Family." The second aunt pretended to sigh and said to the big cow and the second cow: "Backwards, there will be no fine noodles to eat." ”

Originally, Mao still wanted to scold Jia's a few more words, and gave Da Yin a beat, only to let Jia go, just listened to Aunt Mei's yin and yang weirdness, thinking of the dead eldest son, a wisp of evil fire rushed straight to the brain, and angrily knocked on the wooden chopsticks in his hand to scold Aunt Mei: "Eat your food, the nest can't stop your mouth!" My old Mei family is at the bottom of this house, and I want to eat fine noodles and go to another house! ”

Aunt Mei muttered a few words and sat down to eat, looking at the old woman's virtue, she knew that the Mei family was so poor, she would not marry in at first, if it wasn't for the fact that the boss of the Mei family was an old showman, maybe she could still be an official, she would not marry Mei Tang, and she didn't want to think that the boss of the Mei family would pass the exam in the future, and if she became an official, her mother's family could also follow the sticky light, and what you should know is that Lao Xiucai is also a difficult one in ten miles and eight villages.

The old woman is still full of thoughts that the old woman can be admitted to the old show, and no one can be bitter The Mei family's old man, the family tightened their pants and belted for the Mei family's old man to study, bah, Mei's second aunt was contemptuous in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, so the Mei family's old man's virtue that grew to the top of his hair was that he would develop in the future, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stick to his light.

After eating, Jia Shi took the basin and bowl into the small kitchen to brush the dishes, Sister Qiu helped to take the wooden chopsticks to follow up, half a pot of water had already been placed in the pot, and the residual temperature of the dry firewood in the rice stove had heated the water a lot, not so cold and biting.

Jia's heart was difficult, her nose and eyes were red, she was holding back tears, and Sister Qiu's heart was also unbearable, with her identity as a 10-year-old girl with no status, she really couldn't think of any way to pick up a country old lady like Mao who had no family affection and was domineering and unreasonable.

There were suddenly three knocking sounds on the wall of the small kitchen, and Sister Qiu's heart moved, and she immediately ran out.

"Sister Qiu, come to my house!" The sound of the Great Seal being lowered could be heard in the eaves of the wall.

Sister Qiu followed the sound, and looked at the big seal on the eaves of the wall by relying on the faint light, and the newly sprouted weeds on the eaves of the wall were playfully brushed over his round noodles under the blowing of the evening breeze.

"Yes." Sister Qiu responded softly, and glanced at the hall, in order to save fuel, the Mei family generally does not light the lights at night, there is no big thing at night, this time the Mao family should sit in the hall with Mei Laosuo, the second aunt's family went back to the west room, no one looked, and Sister Qiu immediately ran out.

The gate of the Jiang family was not closed, and the villagers in Zhuanghu's hometown were all very familiar, and they did not have the habit of knocking on the door, so Sister Qiu walked straight in, and Lin Zhun stood in the courtyard with a big seal and waited for her. Seeing that there were still two dirt footprints on the shoulders of Lin Zhun's clean green cloth short shirt, Sister Qiu guessed that Fang Cai Dayin was standing on his shoulders before he picked up the eaves of the wall.

"Sister Qiu, let's go out and play." Seeing that she was coming, Dayin hurriedly dragged her out, and didn't forget to turn his face and shout to the hall, "Father, mother, let's go out to play for a while." ”

Aunt Chunhua's elongated voice came from the hall, "Come back early, don't delay sleeping!" ”

Da Yin stuck out his tongue with a smile, pulled Sister Qiu and ran out, Lin Zhun chuckled and followed behind the two.

When he walked to the entrance of the village, Dayin took out a cloth bag from his arms and stuffed it into Sister Qiu's hand.

The cloth pocket is soft in her hand, and there is a wisp of good smell of green onion oil, Sister Qiu swallowed her saliva, she didn't have to open it, she also guessed that there was a large piece of green onion oil cake inside.

"I don't want it." Sister Qiu said, "I just had dinner at home, Dayin, you can stay and eat." "The Jiang family is not a rich family, and occasionally the scallion pancake is also baked according to the number of people, one piece per person, this piece of pancake is saved for her, and the big seal will not be eaten, where can she eat.

Dayin blushed, fortunately, the sky was dark, and he couldn't see his red face, Dayin shook his hand to Sister Qiu and said, "It's not my pancake, it's the eldest brother's, he didn't eat it." If he had known that the old demon of the Mei family didn't want Sister Qiu to eat, how could he hold back his hunger, at least leave half a pancake for Sister Qiu!

Sister Qiu glanced at Lin Zhun in surprise, who had never made a sound, at this moment the crescent moon rose, a few dog barks from time to time in the quiet village, the night breeze blew gently, the big eucalyptus tree at the entrance of the village had not yet sprouted, and the black branches cut the moonlight that shone down, and under the moonlight, the young man's smile was warm and warm.

"Brother Zhun, you still have to eat this pancake." Sister Qiu handed the cloth bag to Lin Zhun, "I just had dinner at home." In the memories of the little lady, she has received enough benefits from the Jiang family every day, and she can no longer take advantage of others.

Before Lin Zhun opened his mouth, Dayin was in a hurry, grabbed the cloth pocket with green onion pancakes in front of the eldest brother and pushed it back, pouted and said: "Sister Qiu, don't be polite to us, just now we all listened, that old ......" Da Yin wanted to say the old witch, and when he received the big brother's warning eyes, he immediately swallowed the words in his mouth, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Mei Milk doesn't want you to eat enough, you can't eat enough, your stomach will growl when you sleep at night, you can't sleep, but it's hard to endure." ”

Looking at the little boy who was not as tall as her, she persuaded her with a glance, Sister Qiu's nose was sour, and the warm green onion pancake in her hand did not know whether she should push it out or take it.

Lin Zhun couldn't help but move forward, stretched out his palm and gently rubbed Sister Qiu's head, "Eat, we still have it at home." In his opinion, Sister Qiu understands things better than Zhi Yindi, and she has thrown off the big cow and the second cow, how can Mei Milk be so cruel to Sister Qiu, only on the first day of her return, don't eat all the food, just rely on the help of the two brothers to sneak around is not a long-term solution, what can be done in the future? He is already old, let the people in the village know, maybe there will be gossip, it is not good for Sister Qiu, thinking about this, Lin Zhun glanced at Sister Qiu's eyes and pity mixed with his own inexplicable emotions.

Sister Qiu is indeed hungry, there is no oil and water in the food, and she can't fill her stomach before, and Brother Dazhun and Dayin are not outsiders. She swallowed her saliva and opened the cloth bag, and the aroma of the palm-sized green onion pancake diffused in an instant, and Sister Qiu broke the scallion pancake in half, and said with a smile: "Let's eat together." ”

As he spoke, he handed half of it to Lin Zhun, and tore the half in his hand into two halves, half of which was given to the big seal. This pancake was originally Lin Zhun, and he should have eaten the biggest.

Seeing that Sister Qiu insisted, Lin Zhun didn't say anything more, and a half-old child led the two children to sit on the stones at the entrance of the village, finished eating the pancakes, and returned home by moonlight.

After a very long time, Lin Yindu remembered the night when he shared pancakes with his eldest brother and sister Qiu, although his family has become bigger and bigger year by year, and he has eaten a lot of good things from south to north, but there is nothing more fragrant than the green onion pancakes that night.

When they got home, the two brothers didn't expect Aunt Chunhua to stand by the door of the hall waiting for them, and they froze in an instant, and ran into the house with their heads bowed in a weak heart.

"These two babies, I don't know what they did!" When she was sleeping, Aunt Chunhua smiled with Lin Qu and said, "Our two children are all kind-hearted, this is a good thing, can I still stop them?" Still sneaking it away from me! ”

Lin did hear Aunt Chunhua talk about the evening, and said with emotion: "Mei Laosuo has been in the nest all her life, and she has been tossing around blindly by this foolish mother, and she has done some things that make the people in the village poke the back of the back!" The palms of her hands and the backs of her hands are full of meat, how filial Lao Xiu was to her when she was alive, and it hasn't been two months since she died......"

"What can the villagers do to her when they poke the back? People are thick-skinned, and when San'er is admitted to the exam and enjoys the blessings of being a big official, no matter what others say about her! Aunt Chunhua preached contemptuously, and then thought about the matter of Dazhun sending Sister Qiu home before dinner, and Qi'er Hengheng talked to her husband, and said: "Look at her eager appearance, I came to inquire if Dazhun was engaged before, even if she was not engaged, it would not be her daughter's turn." I just can't look down on Sister Qiu and her second aunt's style, don't talk about it, and she is very cunning, what kind of good daughter can she raise! ”
