Chapter 9 Learn archery

Mrs. Xia hurriedly pulled the three leopards into her arms and coaxed them, glared at Xia Li fiercely, and said angrily, "Why do you provoke trouble as soon as the girl comes home?" ”

Xia Li ignored her, and turned his eyes to the wall on the left, where a large bow hung out, which Xia Laohan used when he was hunting. Even after all these years, he kept it.

Looking at Da Gong Xia Li, he was excited. She was good at shooting guns in her previous life, and occasionally when she went out with her colleagues, she would shoot arrows, and she shot well, she wanted to learn archery from Xia Laohan. She has good accuracy, good eyesight, and will occasionally hunt a rabbit pheasant or something.

She pulled Xia Laohan's sleeve, pointed to the big bow and said, "Grandpa, I want to learn archery from you." ”

Xia Laohan laughed and said, "Delicate little girl, it is serious to learn embroidery with your mother, and it is very important to learn archery, which is something used by old men." ”

Xia Li pouted and said, "Archery can exercise your body." If I had been stronger, I wouldn't have been pushed into the river all at once, and I would have been sick for so many days that I almost died. ”

Xia Zhu thought so, "It's time to exercise more from the girl, it's too weak." The girl in the countryside should still be stronger, and she will please her in-laws in the future. ”

Mrs. Xia interjected, "If the girl exercises her body, she should walk around more and move more, help your mother do housework more, or go to the field with your uncle to do farm work." Look at Dani and Erni, they are as strong as a brat. ”

The old lady is quite good at labor.

Xia Li didn't answer her words, pulled the sleeve of the old man Xia again, and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, I just want to learn archery." ”

As soon as his granddaughter was coquettish, Xia Laohan was reluctant to object, and got up and said, "Okay, grandpa will teach you." ”

Xia Zhu went over and took off the bow, and Old Man Xia limped into his bedroom and took out five arrows. Xia Li looked at the arrows, two iron ones, three bamboo ones, and the iron ones were already a little rusty.

The iron head should shoot large objects, and the bamboo head should shoot small animals.

Several people came to the courtyard, and Xia Laohan taught Xia Li to take a bow and arrows, but the arrows were not really shot.

Xia Laohan used the "Mongolian style bow drawing method", while Xia Li learned the "Mediterranean style hooking method" in his previous life, and the movements were different.

Xia Li didn't dare to use the methods of his previous life, and learned from Xia Laohan very seriously. Because of the foundation, she quickly did a good job, but her strength was small and she couldn't pull the bow open.

Xia Laohan couldn't help nodding and boasted, "In the end, she is Wenquxing's daughter, smart, and she learns faster than Shanzi." In the future, if you practice diligently, you will be able to shoot far with your bow and arrows. ”

Xia Li discussed with Xia Laohan again, "Grandpa, borrow this bow and arrow for me to play with, okay?" "She can't say she wants it, so she can only say borrow.

Xia Laohan has always been very precious about his bow and arrow, but he felt that his daughter had made a great contribution to his family, and his granddaughter rarely asked him for something, so he generously agreed, "If you like to play, take it, be careful not to hurt people." ”

Mrs. Xia hurriedly stopped, "That bow and arrow is worth the old money, and it is the job of the original owner......

Xia Laohan said with a deep face, "You also said that it was the 'original rice bowl', I am all crippled now, and I still want to do that thing." ”

As soon as a few people returned to the house and sat down, Xiao Yang came back from the field with Xia Erni.

Xiao Yang looks a little like Mrs. Xia, she is not tall, and her facial features are barely beautiful. It's just that the clothes are dirty and dirty, not only the dirt that was made today, but also the stains that have not been cleaned.

Xia Erni looks like Xiao Yang, and her facial features are exquisite, but her skin is not good, dark and rough. She was sweating profusely, and she looked harder than Xiao Yang's. There are a lot of patches on the clothes, not only do the outer pants have a few patches, but they are also shorter, and the middle pants inside are longer than the outer pants, but they are also shorter, revealing a circle of ankles, and they are not as good as Xia Sanbao.

It's spring, and it's not time to wear single clothes, how cold is she wearing like this. Besides, eleven years old was not too young in ancient times, and many girls of this age began to talk about their in-laws.

The Xia family, like most families in ancient times, was patriarchal, except for Xia Li, of course. Xia Dani and her mother Li are distressed, Xia Erni is a grass that no one feels sorry for and no one pays attention to.

After the mother and daughter washed their faces and hands, Xiao Yang went into the house and grabbed a few peanuts and sat aside to eat. Mrs. Xia glared at her, and asked Xia Erni to drive the chickens into the nest in the backyard.

Xiao Yang's eyes glanced at Xia Li a few times, and said with a smile, "It's good to have a sweet mouth, not only do you not have to work, but you also have fried peanuts to eat." ”

Mrs. Xia glared and scolded, "Eat, eat, you know how to eat, you are a hungry ghost reincarnated." If people don't work, that's their life. The former sentence scolded Xiao Yang, and the latter sentence was a pun.

Xiao Yang said again, "Leave the girl, the second tiger and the third leopard are your cousins, don't be too biased." Why don't you only give your food to the two tigers, not to my three leopards......"

It's really two goods, and my head is caught in the door.

Xia Li said with a smile, "Because Erhu is likable, as soon as he goes to my house, he says that he wants to honor my mother." But as soon as the three leopards came, they said that everything in my house would be his, and they would drive me far away...... Second uncle, you are teaching children to rob openly, it's not good. ”

Xiao Yang pouted and said, "Where is the robbery, that is to let my three leopards help you guard, don't be robbed by others......"

Xia Li couldn't bear to talk to Xiao Yang, and ignored Mrs. Xia's scolding her for being like a child, so she got up and went outside.

Xia Erni had already returned to the front yard, and Xia Li fed a candy in her mouth. Xiao Nizi is pitiful, only eleven years old, and she is still a child in elementary school.

Xia Erni was a little stunned, her cousin didn't like to take care of her in the past. Her face turned even redder and she smiled at Xia Li.

Xia Li said, "I have time to go to my house and find two rags to connect my pants." ”

Xia Erni blushed and nodded, she also knew that she was old, and she was ashamed to show her ankles.

Then, Xia Tie led Xia Daxiong back from the town's blacksmithing shop, and the big bear, who had just turned nine years old, looked like a sturdy little black bear. These two fathers and sons look the same mold, both are black and strong, with big square faces.

Xia Li took out two pieces of candy and asked Xia Erhu to give them to Xia Daxiong. Xia Daxiong smiled and ate one for himself, and when he saw Xiao Yang looking at him, he gave her another one.

Xiao Yang's is annoying, but Xia Daxiong and Xia Erni are good, only Xia Sanbao is spoiled by her, and he is as disgusting and selfish as her.

When the meal was finished and he began to serve food on the table, Xia Li was embarrassed to continue to sit and help set the dishes and chopsticks.

Today's dishes are very rich, fried fatty pork with garlic sprouts, stewed soybeans with pig's feet, crispy peanuts, fried leeks with dried tofu, fried oil residue with lotus white, mixed cucumbers, stewed white vermicelli with big bones, brown rice and dry rice, and wine for men.

Stir-fried fatty meat and stewed pig's trotters were placed in front of the old couple by the old lady, indicating that these two dishes could not be touched casually. The rest of the dishes are placed in the middle of the table and are free to be had.
