Chapter 161: The Big Flower Rooster
"Now I don't dare to leave anyone in my house, if I am not at home for a while, I also have to lock the door of the house, and I want him to steal a red egg or two, so I am afraid that he will sneak into the house and steal the money." Aunt Chunhua spoke, her expression was both contemptuous and annoyed.
Dealers don't seem to close their doors in the daytime, although it's not a real road that doesn't close at night, but basically haven't heard of petty theft, if there is a big cow and such a bear child with unclean arms and legs, it really wants to be hated by the neighbors.
"Before we move, we should also pay attention to the things at home." Sister Qiu said that as soon as they went out, they would untie the rope of Little Ash, and if anyone dared to climb over the wall to get in, Little Gray would definitely bite it.
Jia Shi turned his face back and looked, Grandma Liu had already gone back, and asked a little weirdly: "She knows that it was stolen by Da Niu, why doesn't she tell us a word?" "She is the elder of the big cow, and if the child makes a mistake, she will definitely sue her parents.
"That's because people know that they are not all the way with us, and they are not a family." Sister Qiu smiled and said, "Since we don't interfere with the river water from the deep well over there, there is no need for her to speak out and add to the blockage in our hearts." ”
After the Meiqu incident, although they didn't say it, the people in the village knew very well in their hearts, all of them had a scale, and there were not a few people in the fields who fell into the fields, and the old Mei and Mao's things were harsh and not authentic. They stand upright and sit upright, not afraid of those who do not follow the right path.
Two days later, the carpentry shop sent a guy to bring news to Sister Qiu's shop, saying that the furniture had been painted and dried for a few days and could be moved.
Sister Qiu and Jia Shi hurriedly invited Anzi and Lin Qu to come over, helped pull two carts, pulled all the furniture back to the room behind the store, and placed them one by one according to Sister Qiu's deployment arrangement.
The day before moving, it happened to be Lin Zhun Muxiu, and the day before, when Lin did and Aunt Chunhua came to pick up water and tofu, they said that they would invite a few of Jia's to have dinner at home. Although the two families still see each other every day, they live far away and are no longer together, and having a meal is also regarded as a farewell.
On this day, the college rested, and Sister Qiu did not go to the store, but stayed at home to pick up things. Early in the morning, she went to Jiang's house, this time the Jiang family only Lin Zhun and Lin Laosuo were there, Aunt Chunhua went to work in the store, and Lin did take the big seal to the market to buy things.
When Sister Qiu came, Lin Zhun was sitting in the shade of the tree in the courtyard and holding her breath to practice calligraphy, Sister Qiu leaned over and took a look, gloomy surprise, Lin Zhun's current words are much better than the words he didn't go to the academy before, upright and beautiful. Before writing a word, Lin Zhun all had to take another bald pen and stick water to write on the slate skillfully, and then take the pen and stick the ink on the paper properly, write on the front of a piece of paper, and turn it over and continue to write after the ink is dry.
This is to save paper and ink, and paper and ink are also a lot of expenses.
"See what's wrong?" Lin Zhun suddenly asked.
Sister Qiu still felt that he didn't notice that he was peeking behind him, but he didn't expect people to find out earlier, so he walked in front of Lin Zhun and said with a smile: "It's much better than what I wrote before." ”
Lin Zhun put down his pen, raised his eyes and glanced at Sister Qiu, slightly
laughed, and said, "That's fine, otherwise I'll waste all these days in vain." ”
Studying really has to change a lot, at least Sister Qiu's Lin Zhun has a little more elegant and introverted temperament than before, which is already different from the original little farmer who carried a basket on his back and pulled her to eat pigs and grass, but the soft eyes that glanced at her have not changed, and he still wants people to feel at ease.
"Picking vegetables?" Lin Zhun asked with a smile.
Sister Qiu nodded and raised the bamboo basket of vegetables in her hand, "My mother asked me to make a few dishes first, and then they can start the meal when they come back." ”
Lin nodded on time and led Sister Qiu to the vegetable field in the backyard.
The sun had just risen, and in the morning the courtyard was sprinkled with golden sunshine, and the branches of the trees were still wrapped in the morning mist, and the birds were chirping happily in the trees.
The Jiang family's vegetable field is very good for Lin Cheng and Aunt Chunhua, and cowpeas, hanging melons and zucchini are planted in a bunch, and the vines are all over the place.
Sister Qiu wore a plain white muslin gown today, with a skirt with green flowers on the bottom, and a bamboo basket in the crook of her arm.
During this time, Sister Qiu has also grown a lot taller, and she has already grown into a slim appearance, and has gradually grown into a cardamom girl with buds waiting to be released.
Lin Zhun looked at Sister Qiu with a slight smile, his heart suddenly itched, and he pulled Sister Qiu's fingers and scratched them mischievously in the palm of Sister Qiu's hand.
Sister Qiu couldn't help laughing, stretched out her palm and scratched Lin Zhun's armpit and waist, Lin Zhun was caught off guard, scratched Sister Qiu, laughed violently, hurriedly jumped out of the distance, stood a few steps away from Sister Qiu, waved her hands and smiled, completely lost her usual steady appearance.
"Look, don't you dare to scratch me!" Sister Qiu grinned and said, it was the first time she knew that Lin Zhun was afraid of tickling, and they all said that people who were afraid of tickling were soft-hearted, and it was true to see it.
Lin Zhun smiled, helped Sister Qiu pick cowpeas and hanging melons, put them in the bamboo basket, and carried them out of the vegetable field.
Sister Qiu's face turned red when she brushed it, and when she raised her eyes to look at Lin Zhun, her face was already red to the root of her ears. She could all feel the trembling and fiery feeling of the little boy's lips on her head, in fact, they were both still young, strictly speaking, this was not a kiss, but only to make her feel very warm and sweet.
The two went back to the front yard silently, Sister Qiu took the bamboo basket to the kitchen, and Lin was to sit back and practice calligraphy. Now he insists on practicing big characters for an hour every day, and Mr. Long told him that words are the face of a scholar, and if you want to stand out in the exam, it is necessary to have good characters that are recognized by others.
Sister Qiu knew that Lin Zhun was diligent, he was even more diligent than Zhang Ruoxu at the same time, and when Mr. Long came to dinner, he couldn't do without complimenting Lin Zhun in three sentences. She also knew that Lin Zhun was anxious in her heart, although she couldn't see it on her face, she was eager to learn it in her heart
Order something. He started later than others, and his family was not wealthy.
Like Xiaoxu, who is only 6 years old, he is already a proper child, and he is already 14 years old.
In fact, pressure is not a bad thing, Sister Qiu thought, pinching the roots at both ends of the cowpea in her hand, the freshly picked vegetables diffuse a wisp of fragrance, the end of the cowpea is watery, the ink oil green hanging melon is just right, cut into shreds, whether it is a cake or a stir-fry, it is very good.
She is expecting Lin Zhun to come back after taking the exam for an old show, in the end, in this world, it is much easier for a scholar with a name to support the door than a man from a Zhuang household, and no one dares to provoke him. But at the same time, Sister Qiu doesn't want Lin Zhun to be under too much pressure, even if Lin Zhun fails to pass the exam, as long as he is still the loyal little boy who takes care of her, she will still marry Lin Zhun and live this life with him in peace and joy.
Not long after, Lin did come back with a big seal, the two bought a bamboo basket of pork ribs, a saltwater duck, and a fat echinoderm fish in the town, Lin did kill the chicken again, and stopped Sister Qiu, "We are not outsiders, these vegetables are enough to eat, the chicken should be left!" ”
Lin Qu smiled and motioned to Dayin to pull Sister Qiu out of the chicken pen, quickly caught the chicken that he had just caught, and said with a hearty laugh: "This chicken is a rooster, it can't eat eggs, and it's useless to stay." Let's talk about it again, Uncle Lin invited Sister Qiu to eat chicken, can't you? ”
The words were all preached, and Sister Qiu was not easy to stop, so she only smiled and nodded, and responded crisply: "Okay, naturally!" ”
Lin did laugh, and glanced at Sister Qiu's eyes with satisfaction. The rooster who grabbed the wings and the cockscomb for Lin was covered with colorful feathers, and he was usually in the chicken pen to bully the old hen.
Lin did kill the chicken more neatly, pulled off the hair on the neck of the chicken, took the kitchen knife and cut it on the chicken throat, the blood was poured into the porcelain bowl that had already been prepared, and the porcelain bowl also put a handful of finely chopped green onion flowers, and the chicken blood coagulated when the chicken was roasted, and it was also very delicious to put it in and boil it with the chicken nuggets.
When the blood is almost gone, Lin does throw the chicken away, let the chicken flutter in the ground, and finally when the chicken flutters and does not move, it can be thrown into the hot water basin to shed its feathers.
The fading chicken feathers are also very useful, you can tie a feather duster, you can make a mat, in short, Sister Qiu looked at the rooster that was still fluttering in the ground, and her whole body was contributed to the main family.
The Great Seal took a bucket of water from the well, washed away the blood stains from the rooster's fluttering on the stone slab, and then brought hot water out of the small kitchen.
Because when the chicken feathers are removed with hot water, an unpleasant fishy smell will be diffused, so it seems that as long as the male protagonist of the family is still diligent, all the work of removing hair is done by men.
When Sister Qiu wanted to come up and take a look, she gave Lin Cheng a smile and drove her away.
When the Jia family returned, the wooden table was already full of food. "How can you break the fee!" Jia shook his head and said, "None of us are outsiders, doing this."
What do you do with more vegetables? Now is the time for your family to spend money! ”
A few people had a noisy meal, and Lin did open a jar of wine, which was exactly the wine that Sister Qiu brought back to him when they first went back to Huyang, and the flowers were 10,020 copper plates. Most of the wine eaten here in Xiaohe Town is soju from Lao Sheng's grocery store, and two cents can buy half a catty, in comparison, this jar of wine is considered to be relatively high-end, and Lin has never been reluctant to eat, and he has only taken it out until today.
As soon as he slapped the mud seal on the wine jar, a strong fragrance of wine wafted out, Lin did pour wine in front of each outsider, and found an extra small wine glass for Lin Zhun to pour half a glass, and said with a smile: "You are also counted as an outsider, follow the meaning of eating a glass of wine." ”
