Chapter 43: Aunt Niu is injured
"Mother, I want to eat too."
Everyone was eating happily, when suddenly they heard a childish voice from outside the door, and looked at it, a young boy of seven or eight years old with a beautiful appearance nestled behind the door, staring at the food on the table.
Aunt Niu hurriedly tried to move him away: "Let's go, go to the stove room with your father to eat together, this is where the guests eat." ”
"But I don't want to eat pickles, I want to eat fish." The child looked a little aggrieved, his voice was soft and timid, and he still stared at the bowl of scallion oil fish and refused to leave.
Aunt Niu was annoyed by this uncontentious person, and pulled him straight to leave, scolding as she walked: "Why are you so greedy, you kid, you don't lack food on weekdays, and now it's making trouble again, what does it look like!" As he spoke, he was about to pat him with his hands.
Wei Qin walked over and hurriedly stopped Aunt Niu: "Let him eat together, there are so many dishes, and it will be wasted if you can't finish eating." Besides, how much he can eat as a small child can eat without getting in the way. ”
Aunt Niu waved her hand hurriedly, still unwilling for the little guy to go to the guest table.
Qu Mingli walked over, picked up the child, put it in his seat, and found another chair to sit down.
Seeing this, Aunt Niu wanted to pull him down, but Shi Shu stopped her hand: "Just let him be with us, it's not in the way." ”
Aunt Niu couldn't stop it anymore, so she had to retreat silently to the side.
The child came to the table, and although he was pleased with so many dishes on the table, he still glanced at his mother timidly, and then picked up the chopsticks, looking extremely cautious.
His mother advised, "Thank you uncle and aunt." ”
The child thanked everyone: "Thank you, uncle, thank you." ”
Shi Shu sandwiched a piece of meat without fish bones for him and asked him, "Little brother, what's your name?" ”
The child replied to him while eating meat: "My name is Lu Fugui, and I am nine years old this year. ”
Wei Qin asked again, "Where have you been during the day today, why haven't you seen you?" ”
"I have to go to the school in Lin'an Village next door during the day to study, and I can't come back until I get out of school."
Aunt Niu knew that these were big families, so she didn't dare to call them big: "What kind of study, it's just that there is no one at home to take care of him, so he has a place to go." If you can really learn something, it will be a blessing. You must have all read serious books, and those who are taught here must look down on them and laugh at them. ”
Shi Shu disagreed with her point of view: "There are big and small, children are still young, it is good to have a correct foundation after reading, and it is the same to study by yourself in the future." ”
He turned around and asked Xiao Fugui: "What books did you read in the school today?" ”
"The Three Character Sutra," replied the child, "it is not appropriate to learn it if it has already been learned." ”
Shi Shu nodded: "Then you have to listen to Mr. carefully, if you have any questions, you must ask for advice and understand before learning, don't delay, you know?" ”
Xiao Fugui nodded and continued to eat, not busy or dry.
Everyone saw that he was quiet and not noisy, and he looked pleasant, so they asked him to eat with them in the future, but Aunt Niu couldn't refuse and was helpless.
On the second day, everyone got up early in the morning with the freshness of their freshness, and originally wanted to walk through the mountains to enjoy the sunrise, but did not want to walk all the way, and many villagers were already working in the mountains.
At this time, the morning light is not dewed, covered with a thin light, and there is still some moisture in the mountains, this morning's weather, neither hot nor cold, everyone walked to the top of the mountain in one breath.
I don't want to be the first to reach the top of the mountain.
Everyone looked at each other from afar, one tall and one short, a man and a woman snuggled up to each other, with their backs to them and looked at the sunrise in the distance, and they looked very affectionate. Seeing that they are still well dressed, I think they are also here to play.
"Let's see here. Don't disturb the two of them. Shi Shu said.
The five of them stood at the intersection, waiting for the light to come.
The dawn of the day is in the morning, and it is this moment of daylight that cuts through the alternation of night and day, stillness and movement, darkness and light, rest and labor, all by the light of this moment to complete the ritual handover.
The sun slowly rose, the peasants seemed to work a little harder, the birds and insects chirped more loudly, and the dew on the flowers and plants began to fade slowly, and then came out to cool down at night.
The sunrise is fleeting, and in a moment, the sun has climbed high.
"Let's go." Shi Shu said.
Everyone quietly left the mountain, leaving the beautiful couple to enjoy the morning beauty for a while.
"There's a lotus over there!"
Wei Qin screamed and ran towards the pond.
Shi Shu laughed at her girl's heart, but also followed her.
At this time, it is the time when the lotus flowers are first blooming, and there are green lotus leaves scattered in the pond, but there are not many really good flowers.
Wei Qin tiptoed and reached out to reach a flower bone, looking at it with a smile, but he didn't take it off.
Shi Shu asked her: "If you like it, pick it and take it back and insert it in the bottle, and look at it every day, you should be a lot of joy." ”
Wei Qin pouted: "If you take it off, how long can you live, and you will get tired of watching too much." It's better to let it grow right here, and when it comes back in a few days, it will bloom brightly. ”
Qu Mingli also agreed: "I think it looks good when it grows in green leaves, stay here, and grow up with its companions in the future, it can also be happier." ”
Ban Fei listened to what he said, seemed to have a deep meaning, glanced at him, and didn't show it.
Shi Shu pretended to be angry and said: "I just want to pick a flower and let you talk about it, but it seems inhumane." Okay, let it grow here. ”
Wei Qin had seen enough of the flower bone, put it back, and said with a wicked smile: "When it grows up and bears a lotus canopy, it's not too late to pick it again." ”
Shi Shu saw her blinking mischievously, and smiled with relief: "It turns out that you fought with this idea." ”
Wei Qin tilted his neck and stuck out his tongue, smiling at Qu Ming.
Ning Zeqing said: "I don't know if there is an owner in the lotus pond here, so I have to go back and ask Aunt Niu." ”
Among the crowd, Ning Zeqing was serious, and Ban Fei said little, but he didn't lose his cooperation.
When I went home for dinner at noon, I happened to meet Aunt Niu with two buns, and walked out with an empty basket on her back.
Everyone knew that she still had to go to work, so she didn't say much, and when she walked to the hall, she saw that the food had been set on the table, thinking that Aunt Niu had come back to cook for them as soon as possible.
During dinner, Aunt Niu distributed vegetables for everyone, and her walking seemed a little unsteady.
Ban Fei asked, "Aunt Niu, what's wrong with your feet?" ”
Aunt Niu didn't want them to worry, so she only said vaguely: "It's on the road, it's not in the way." ”
After saying that, he pretended to be okay and went to serve the food again, but it hurt with some force, and half of his body fell over with an "oops".
Ban Fei hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit down, and found that her palms were a little red and swollen, and her mouth was slightly worn, thinking that she had worked too hard in the past few days and injured some bones.
Ban Fei persuaded her with a heartache: "Don't go up the mountain tomorrow, raise your feet at home, and then go later." ”
Aunt Niu naturally refused: "The fruits in the mountains are waiting for me to pick them, and I can't pick them after a day's rest, how can I stay at home." ”
"Then I'll help you pick it, you move less, and your feet can get better faster."
Qu Mingli also agreed: "I also help, Aunt Niu, you have to work and cook for us these days, and it's nothing to help a little now." ”
Wei Qin saw that Qu Ming was like this, so he naturally followed.
Shi Shu said to Ning Zeqing: "Since this is the case, I'm afraid you and I will be indispensable." I've never picked fruit before, so I'll experience it tomorrow. Just don't think we're stupid. ”
Ning Zeqing thought about it and nodded.
Aunt Niu saw their kindness, and she was happy and helpless. Happily they care about themselves, but helpless because they are afraid that this farm work will tire the guests from afar.
It's just a matter of letting them have fun. Aunt Niu thought so, so she agreed.
This night, Ban Fei helped Aunt Niu and borrowed a few more baskets among the neighbors, preparing to use them to go up the mountain to pick fruits tomorrow.
