Chapter 13: The Wind Rises
Huang Zheng, as usual, didn't care, reached out to take the cake, secretly pinched it with his hand, the cake was dry and dry, with a little force, it was almost shattered into crumbs, looking at the quality, it was cooked and put away for several days.
Huang Zheng couldn't help but wonder in his heart, this Wang family looked at the house and was one of the best in the village, why did they have so much leftover, cooked for many days, and unpalatable food?
Huang Zheng only guessed half correctly, this sweet potato was left over from the noon of the first day of the Wang family, because the children of the Huang family fell into the river the next day, and only went to deliver firewood in the afternoon, and the sweet potatoes that had been put for two days and one night were naturally rancid;
As for the bad cakes, it was Mrs. Wang who saw that no one ate her bran flour and was reluctant to feed the chickens, so she came up with a bad trick and made bran cakes with water to coax the Huang family to change firewood.
Mrs. Wang is lazy, as soon as she makes half a bag of chaff flour cakes, she has been put for a long time, this taste, this touch, I am afraid that I can't find a second one in this Zhuxiang Village.
Xu was afraid that Huang Zheng would regret it, so Mrs. Wang handed the cake to Huang Zheng, and the person hurriedly turned back to the room, forgetting even the half-sewn clothes hanging on the fence of the chicken coop.
Huang Zheng picked up the empty basket, walked to the door, walked to the courtyard gate, lightly knocked on the courtyard door twice, and said to Wang Hong: "The wind is blowing!! Put the paper kite quickly. ”
After listening to Huang Zheng's words, Wang Hong instinctively walked on his short legs and ran in the yard with a paper kite, where did he have time to feel whether there was any wind.
Without wind, paper kites naturally can't fly.
Huang Zheng bit his ear at Huang Zheng, pouted in the direction of the chicken nest, and then said in a loud voice: "Gong'er, you go to Song Lizheng's house first and ask, today, is it a basket of firewood or two baskets." ”
Huang Gong agreed loudly, and his small body went out of the courtyard door.
At this time, Wang Hong was exhausted and panting.
Huang Zheng walked up to Wang Hong and said with a slight smile: "Brother Hong, my sister is tall, help you put the paper kite." ”
Wang Hong is naturally happy to have someone to help, his paper kite is a big centipede that his grandfather Wang Sihu bought from the county seat, which is many times better than the village families, and it belongs to the only one in Zhuxiang Village, not even Lizheng's grandson Song Renyi, but unfortunately, he has not put it up, if he puts it up, he will be greedy for Song Renyi.
Huang Zheng pointed to the messy kite string and said, "Brother Hong, this paper kite string is messed up, let's sort it out and then release it." ”
When the two arrived at the door of the room, one took the shaft, the other rolled the thread, and inside the door, the princess who peeked along the crack of the door was instantly blocked from view; Outside the door, Wang Hong, who was facing away from the courtyard gate, did not notice a small figure that had re-entered the courtyard.
The two of them put the paper kite back up. This time, the paper kite still couldn't fly.
Huang Zheng embarrassedly returned the paper kite to Wang Hong, picked up the basket for the second time, and went out to greet him.
Inadvertently glanced at the chicken coop, and the girl suddenly screamed: "Grandma Wang, the satin robe you made for someone fell into the chicken coop!! ”
Wang Pozi, who was proudly exchanging bad cakes and sweet potatoes for firewood in the house, listened to Huang Zheng's words, hurriedly ran out of the house, and went straight to the chicken coop.
The satin robe that was originally on the fence had fallen into the chicken coop, and the shiny silk was stained with a few stalls of fresh chicken droppings.
Mrs. Wang was distressed, opened the door of the chicken coop, and lowered her body to pick up the robe.
The corners of Huang Zheng's mouth curled, and he undetectably pulled the needle and thread tied to the fence, the robe was torn, and the princess was stumbled and fell into the chicken coop in an instant.
