"What?!" Sister Qiu screamed.

Jia Shi and Li Ailian hurriedly looked over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Sister Qiu hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, just now my sister suddenly talked to me, and I was startled. When the Jia family didn't pay attention to them, Sister Qiu asked, "What's the matter?" Do you see clearly? ”

"I don't know." Zhang Yuxiu said hesitantly, "I was busy steaming steamed buns in the small kitchen with Aunt Chunhua, and when I heard the noise outside, I hurriedly came out, and I saw that there was a person not far from the door, quite like your father, wasn't I worried that you would suffer at that time, so I didn't pay much attention to that person, and later, I went to see it again, and the person was gone." ”

Sister Qiu thought about it, and in her impression, Mei Laosuo seemed to have never been out of Xiaohe Town, and she should not go to the market to go shopping, like Mei Laosuo, a purple-black faced, thin and tall Laosuo, ten miles and eight villages are everywhere, Zhang Yuxiu is not familiar with Mei Laosuo, it is very likely that she is bad, so she didn't tell Jia.

When they returned home, they watched the big seal squatting by the door and waiting. Looking at Aunt Chunhua's childhood, Dayin's face lit up, and he said happily: "Mother, why did you come back?" ”

Aunt Chunhua hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?" Have you eaten? ”

"Eat." Dayin nodded, "My father rolled out the noodles and gave me a poached egg, but it was delicious." ”

Listening to the kid say that she had eaten, Aunt Chunhua was relieved, and asked with a smile: "Then what are you doing here?" ”

Dayin said with a smile: "I have something good for Sister Qiu." As he spoke, he raised his palms that had been brought together by himself.

"What's the hell?" Sister Qiu asked with a smile, this little kid is still mysterious.

"Look!" Da Yin fiercely spread the things in his hand in front of Sister Qiu.

Sister Qiu immediately took half a step back, startled, and said, "What are you doing here!" I don't want it! ”

The success scared Sister Qiu, and the big seal immediately became conscious, and his eyes were all narrow, and he said: "This is a good thing, I also caught you last year, Sister Qiu, your guts are getting smaller and smaller!" ”

Da Yin's hand is a long, gray-white insect ant with small black dots, big semicircular wings, a pair of curved antennae on the head, Sister Qiu is not very clear about the scientific name, it should be called a beetle or something, she remembered that when she was a child, there were many such things in the mountains and forests, and later there were people in the village who contracted the mountains and forests to plant trees and sell them for money, for fear that the wood would infest the insects and ants, and sprayed with pesticides, and since then it has been rare to see this kind of insects and ants.

"Don't be naughty!" Aunt Chunhua patted Da Yin's head and reprimanded: "All of them are such big people, and they are still bullying your sister Qiu!" ”

Dayin touched his head and defended: "Where do I have it!" Then he took out a thin and hard straw stick, and passed through the crust of the ant's neck, and the worm ant was fixed to the straw stick, and flapped its wings incessantly.

"Here you go." The Great Seal smiled and groaned, "I searched for a whole morning to find such a big one." ”

Sister Qiu was moved to take the insects and ants, she still didn't dare to get the insects and ants too close to herself, but

I also experienced the breeze of the insect and ant fan.

She remembers that when she was a child, her cousin also made such an "insect fan" when she took her to play, and when she ate, she would stick a straw stick into the crack of the wooden table, and ask the wind raised by the insects and ants to blow on herself, these small winds are far less than the effect of electric fans, but the children are playing with fun.

"Thank you!" Sister Qiu smiled and thanked her.

Dayin touched his head unexpectedly, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but Zhang Yuxiu on the side teased him and said, "What about mine? Da Yin, you are eccentric, why do you only give it to Sister Qiu and not give it to me? ”

"Yes, yes." Dayin immediately nodded flatteringly, "Sister Yuxiu, I'll catch one for you in the afternoon!" ”

Zhang Yuxiu shook her head with a smile, "Forget it, I don't have to, you can catch it and leave it to play by yourself." ”

"What do you want to do here?" Aunt Chunhua asked with a smile, her own kid is clear by herself, she has nothing to do, she is either a traitor or a thief!

Dayin laughed twice and said in a twisted voice: "Tomorrow I want to go to the town with the donkey to catch the market and eat bean curd." ”

Jia Shi listened to the words of the Great Seal, and even said, "What is there to talk about, just come straight to it." Then he thought about it, after opening a shop in his own house, Dayin never came to eat Douhuaer again, and Jia Shi was unhappy, and asked Aunt Chunhua, "Is it because you don't want Dayin to come?" If you want to do this again, I won't be leaning! ”

Aunt Chunhua saw that Jia's idea was good, and she was afraid that the big seal would cause trouble in the past, so let's talk about it again, other people's beans are sold for money, and it's not good to ask the kid to eat other people's for nothing. Seeing Jia Shi say this, Aunt Chunhua also smiled and nodded, "Cheng, it was your Aunt Li who opened her mouth to allow you to go over to eat Douhuaer, don't hurry up and thank you Auntie!" ”

Dayin immediately opened his mouth crisply, "Thank you, Auntie, I will catch more river fish and shrimp for Auntie in the future." ”

"That's not necessary." Jia Shi smiled and shook his head, "Now that the river is rising, you must not go to the riverside." "There are a lot of people selling small river fish and small green shrimp in the town, and a penny can buy two or three catties, so why bother asking the children to go to the river to catch it."

After Mei Qu returned to the college, he fell on the kang and was angry, all he thought about was how to retaliate against these people who didn't know each other and looked down on him after he took the subject name, and at this moment a classmate came to call him, "Mei Qu, there is an old man looking for you by the door!" ”

When he went to the door, Mei Laosuo was wearing a green coarse cloth coat, black trousers, and a patch on the knee of the trousers, sitting on the threshold of the academy smoking a cigarette, and there was a hemp cloth bag beside him.

"Why are you here?" Mei Qu's complexion changed, and he looked left and right, there was no one at the door, and he hurriedly dragged Mei Laosu to a small alley next to the college. Daddy came to visit him, Mei Qu didn't have a happy mood, dressed like this, like a boy named Huazihua, he was really the one who came to disgrace him! It's known, who still looks up to him!

Mei Laosuo was originally a man of few words, so he smoked a few cigarettes, took out a gray cloth purse from his chest, handed it to Mei Qu, and said, "The family brings the newly beaten wheat."

Sell some of it, and you can save some money for this money. ”

Mei Qu hurriedly opened the purse, glanced inside, and immediately frowned and exclaimed, "That's it?!" That's enough! ”

"There's a bag of noodles here." "In the future, you go to your sister-in-law's shop in the morning and at noon, and cook and eat by yourself in the evening. The situation at home ...... "I can't afford Meiqu three meals a day, so I buy and eat outside."

He still believes in the personality of his eldest daughter-in-law very much, and believes that she will provide Meiqu with two meals a day regardless of previous suspicions.

Mei Qu was very unhappy, and muttered: "Sister-in-law is stingy and harsh, where would she ask me to eat for nothing?" You don't know anything, today, Sister Qiu's girl scolded me in front of so many people, and those two mothers-in-law have no one in their eyes, only money! ”

Mei Laosuo watched the whole process, and looked at Mei Qu scolding his sister-in-law and nephew with dignity, and he coughed violently. In the morning, he came to see Meiqu with food, originally wanted to take a look at Jia's stall by the way, and inquired all the way to Qiuji Water Tofu Shop, and did not come and was surprised by this upper-level store, so he looked at Sister Qiu and scolded Meiqu, "All the books have been read to the dog's belly"!

The Jia family is naturally not such a stingy person as Mei Qu said, if Mei Qu is the only one to eat, Mei Laosu believes that Jia will never ask the little uncle to collect money, but Mei Qu brought a group of people over to eat for nothing, not once or twice, no one is happy!

At that time, he had a head in his heart, as if he had given a sledgehammer to a fierce blow, and his whole person was dizzy, and his heart was full of miscellaneous, Mei Qu didn't have to work hard to study, he was clear, but he always felt that this child was smart, even if he didn't work hard as the boss, he could also take the test name, not to mention, Mei Qu's expectations for the family had already been supplied for such years, and he was almost a kick in the door, and there was no reason to give up halfway.

It took a long time for Mei Laosuo to calm down his cough, smoke silently, and for a long time, he said: "Your eldest brother is gone, and your second brother is like that, and the family can only rely on you." You...... Take care of this big guy, you ...... "Mei Laosu wants to say that your sister-in-law and Sister Qiu are also looking forward to your care, and you have a very heavy responsibility on your shoulders, but before he finished speaking, Mei Qu was impatient to listen to this cliché.

Mei Qu now listens to the anger of the Jia family and Sister Qiu, and the two mothers-in-law who don't know how to be interested! Mei Qu thought angrily, and wanted him to take care of it and dream! When he took the subject name, the first thing he did was to humiliate and humiliate these two short-sighted people who didn't give him face! There are times when they regret it!

"Father, I still have to go back to Wen Shu." Mei Qu interrupted Mei Laosuo's words.

Mei Laosu nodded hurriedly, "Eh, okay, I'll carry the noodles inside for you." ”

"No, no." Mei Qu hurriedly shook her hand in fright, for fear of showing her classmates that her father was a farmer who couldn't get on the table, "Father, you hurry back, this bag of noodles is not heavy, I can carry it myself." ”

When Mei Laosuo heard him say this, he nodded and went back first.

Wait for Mei Laosuo to leave and disappear his back, Mei

Qu Cai glanced at the sack with disgust, carried it straight to his shoulder, went to the grain store in the town, sold it quickly, weighed more than 80 city catties, and gave him three hundred cents of fine flour because of this, and the store happily gave him three hundred cents, and Mei Qu returned to the college happily.

After making water tofu in the afternoon, Sister Qiu followed the flour, burned a fire with Zhang Yuxiu, a pancake spread thinly on a pan, and fried the tender shredded hanging melon, soybean sprouts and shredded pork with sauce, which was full of aroma.

Jia Shi rolled seven pancakes with his hands, each of which was covered with thick shredded vegetables and meat, put them in a small bamboo basket, covered them with a cage cloth, and said to Sister Qiu: "Go, send this pancake to your grandmother, and we will have dinner when we come back." He rolled another four cages and wrapped them in cloth, "This is for your Aunt Chunhua's family." ”

Although Sister Qiu was reluctant, she muttered, "Didn't the second aunt come to ask for tofu and soybean sprouts in the afternoon!" However, he still got up and went to Mei's house, and met a few people who came back from work in the fields on the road, and without waiting for others to ask, they took the initiative to say that they had sent pancakes to their grandmother, and everyone who provoked them all praised her and Jia Shi as filial and well-meaning people.

Sister Qiu listened with a smile, she just wanted the whole village to know that she was against all the people of the Mei family. Sister Qiu originally wanted to send it to Aunt Chunhua's house first, but she didn't expect that as soon as she walked to the door of Mei's house, she ran into Erniu, who was dragging a long nose and playing with urine and mud by the door.

Although Erniu is now 8 years old, he can grow short, and he looks simple, and after looking at Sister Qiu, he immediately jumped up and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Although the children are small and don't understand the reason, their feelings are also the most keen, and the language learning of adults' expressions is also the most in place.

Sister Qiu thought about it, Erniu was already looking at her, if she went to Jiang's house to deliver pancakes first, she turned her face and didn't know what the Mei family said about her, what others would eat the rest, give it to outsiders first...... You can say anything unpleasant.

"You go wash your hands first, I'll bring you pancakes." Sister Qiu said that the Jia family gave the Mei family a total of seven pancakes, which was very obvious, and it was given according to the number of people in the Mei family, one per person, not much, very much.

Erniu had already smelled the aroma of fine noodles and shredded meat wafting out of the bamboo basket, and the greedy saliva replied to the elder, listening to Sister Qiu's words, he reluctantly glanced at the bamboo basket, and immediately ran to wash his hands.

Second Uncle Mei listened to Sister Qiu's voice in the west room, and immediately put on a gown and came out with an open arms, and Second Aunt Mei followed closely behind him.

"What's the send? What's the send? Second Uncle Mei snorted and asked, "This smell smells good!" Sister Qiu, how much money do you earn this day, seeing that the sky is both fine and meaty? ”

Sister Qiu didn't pay attention to Mei's second uncle, she didn't want to see Mei Tang in her heart, she only walked to the hall with a bamboo basket, and shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, are you at home?" I'm here to deliver the pancakes! ”

Mao's came out of the small kitchen, and Mei Laosuo also came out of the hall, looking at the bamboo basket in Sister Qiu's hand,

Mei Laosu nodded silently, and opened his mouth to say with difficulty: "It's not easy for you to make something good, just leave it to eat by yourself." ”

"We have it for ourselves, and this is for grandma!" Sister Qiu said with a smile.

Mao's mouth crooked, she was very unaccustomed to Jia and Sister Qiu, but it was a pancake sent by someone, and she was not in a position where she was noble and glamorous enough to open her mouth to ask Sister Qiu to take it away. Mao pulled out a leather basket from the kitchen, and Sister Qiu uncovered the cage cloth and poured seven pancakes into the basket.

"What's this bag? Why don't you pour it in? Second Uncle Mei's eyes were sharp, and at a glance he saw a cage cloth wrapped in a bamboo basket.

Sister Qiu frowned and said, "This is for Aunt Chunhua." ”
