"Why are you still here?" Aunt Wang took the medicine basket in the hand of the star fruit and urged her with a smile: "Tomorrow, your eldest sister is hired, go back and help." The rest of the medicine, my aunt will pick it up. ”

Carambola is also worried about her family, but today Aunt Wang wants to concoct eucommia, and the opportunity is rare, and she wants to stay and learn.

"It's okay aunt, it's ...... at home"

"It's going to be a busy day at home." Aunt Wang clicked on her head and teased: "I don't want to delay for a day, are you in a hurry to learn to rob my business?" ”

Carambola continued to squat to pick up the medicine, and her round little face turned crimson with embarrassment: "No." ”

Aunt Wang sneered: "This honest child! Go back quickly, and wait for the day after tomorrow to concoct eucommia, and my aunt will teach you by hand. ”

Carambola's eyes immediately lit up, and she looked up at her: "Really? ”

"Seriously!"

"Then I'll go back first." She got up quickly, and at first she was able to walk steadily, but as soon as she got out of the hospital, she ran away.

The family must be busy, and she has to hurry back to help.

Before I entered the house, I heard the voices of people in the courtyard and laughter.

"Sister-in-law Ye is so blessed, the prospective son-in-law has won the show at a young age, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future."

"At the age of seventeen, he was a showman, and he was a quasi-son-in-law in ten miles and eight villages. Cui'er married and will soon be able to become an official's wife. ”

Ye Shi washed the dishes with a rag, with satisfaction hidden in his eyebrows, but his mouth was modest: "Just in the middle of the show, the road is still far away." ”

The road is long, but there is a lot of hope!

Carambola was happy for her sister and smiled warmly.

She put on an apron when she entered the door, leaned over to her mother to help wash the dishes, and asked, "Where are Daddy and my brother?" ”

Ye slapped his head and smiled: "If you don't mention it, I'm busy and forget, the two of them are fishing by the river, and they sent a letter saying that they forgot to take the stab, you send it to them quickly." ”

Carambola hurriedly carried the bucket and ran to the river.

Daddy and younger brother are working together to surround a fat fish, and the younger brother wants to pierce it with a harpoon, but Daddy hurriedly stops it: "Don't pierce, Xiaozhuang doesn't like to eat dead fish." ”

The younger brother hurriedly threw the harpoon, rolled up his sleeve and went into the water to touch it.

The two of them were in good spirits, tired and sweaty, and after a while, they caught two big fish and more than a dozen small fish.

Carambola picked up the fish in the bucket and smiled: "With such a fat fish, tomorrow's banquet will be ready." ”

Younger brother Yang Chunxiao wiped his sweat with his sleeves, turned his head and talked back to the star fruit: "Brother Li doesn't care about the banquet, he likes the eldest sister, or he will roar at our sister when he is only ten years old?" ”

Daddy patted Chunxiao's head and scolded with a smile: "There is no mouth to cover." ”

"Brother Li has been around my sister since he was a child, and fools know what he is thinking, what else is he covering?"

Daddy was about to fight again, but Yang Chunxiao bent down to dodge and waded ashore on the water.

He smiled brightly, washed his feet and put on straw sandals, and reached out to pick up the bucket in the hand of the star fruit: "Give it to me, come to the heavy man." ”

Carambola smiled: "Twelve-year-old little hairy child, still a man." ”

"That's better than you." He snatched the bucket and put it in his hand, urging his father: "Hurry up, you have to borrow a table and bench when you go back." My mother is weak and can't move those. ”

"Got it." Daddy washed his feet indiscriminately, and walked back without stopping his trouser legs.

He went to pick up the bucket in Chunxiao's hand: "I'll carry it, you're still young, and you can't hold it down." ”

I had to go home through a large field, and in the middle of the afternoon, the ground was full of people.

Seeing the father and son of the Yang family, someone held the hoe and greeted: "What about catching fish, how is the harvest?" Tomorrow, Xiucai's son-in-law will come to the door, and he will have to get a good table. ”

Father Yang raised the bucket in his hand at the other party, his face was full of pride: "There are several fat ones, I can't eat them tomorrow." ”

Someone joked again: "The son-in-law is only a talented man, and he will have a happy event in two days, and your family is happy, so you have to invite us to have a drink." ”

"That is, it is not easy to be a talent at the age of seventeen. Tomorrow is a banquet, we are going to see the prodigy. ”

The villagers laughed and praised their son-in-law, and Father Yang was so proud that his waist straightened up, and he said proudly: "Come all, come here." After the ceremony, I asked Xiao Zhuang to toast you. ”

"Master Xiucai toasted us, then we have to go."

When the father and son went back for the third time, the neighbors who helped pick vegetables and clean up were gone, and Ye was sweeping the floor with the corners of his lips curled.

Seeing them come back, Ye Shi took a big pot and came over to release water to raise fish, and smiled: "There are so many fish, you should be able to get them tomorrow." ”

Father Yang grinned and had a sense of accomplishment: "God appreciates face, let me, a fool who hunts, catch fat fish." ”

said and greeted Yang Chunxiao: "Let's go, go to your Uncle Zhang's house to carry the table." ”

Carambola went to pick up the broom in her mother's hand: "I'll come, my mother is tired and rests for a day." ”

"Mother is not tired." Ye smiled and slapped away the hand of star fruit: "You go to the backyard to catch a fat chicken, let's boil the water and your father will come back to kill." ”

Carambola didn't move, and asked her mother hesitantly: "Does Grandma agree?" ”

The Yang family has a total of three rooms, all of which are crowded into one courtyard.

As the old saying goes, parents have no selfish money. The old lady and the old lady are still strong, and there is no reason to divide the family. Everything in the family belongs to everyone, and whoever has an income has to hand it over, and it is distributed by the elderly.

"Promised, let's go."

Sanfang encountered such a big thing as hiring, and the prospective son-in-law was capable, and it was reasonable for grandma to agree.

Star fruit had a bottom in her heart and happily went to the backyard.

The eldest aunt was feeding the chickens in the chicken pen, and the star fruit was about to say hello from afar, but she heard the eldest aunt's complaint first-

"The man is the eldest young master, and the female is the young grandmother, and the family doesn't make money, just thinking about taking advantage of the big family. I'm tired of raising two chickens, and his family comes to catch and eat, why? ”

Carambola was not happy to hear it, her father went to the ground before dawn, and he didn't fall into the house when it was dark; Her mother is not in good health and can't do heavy work, but she can embroider things for Xiufang, and she stays up until the end of the day every day. Her three children are not promising, but they have not eaten leisurely.

But on a happy day, there is no need to be unhappy with the elders for two sentences.

She coughed, smiled and jumped over to say hello: "Auntie is here, grandma asked me to catch a chicken." ”

Tian was taken aback, and said that the gossip behind his back was weak, so he grabbed it and handed it to the star fruit, and said embarrassedly: "The prospective aunt has a chance, so he has to eat some good supplements." ”

Carambola smiled softly, and her voice was soft: "After doing the eldest sister's business, it should be the second cousin, and when the time comes, my mother will embroider the dowry for the second sister in March." ”

Look at the realm of others, just your small belly chicken intestines.

Tian's old face turned red, and he scolded with a smile: "If you are a little girl, you will be poor." ”

Star fruit smiled playfully and walked away with the fat chicken.

Only then did Tian find out that he had caught the biggest one for star fruit, and he was so distressed that he stomped his feet. She stayed in the chicken pen all afternoon, not just to watch the chickens, and not let the third room take the big ones away.

"This thing, I ate rotten stomachs."

Carambola didn't hear the eldest aunt scolding, and went back to the house happily.

Daddy and Brother cleaned up the tables and chairs, and Auntie also boiled boiling water, and the chickens could be killed as soon as they were brought back.

The two siblings plucked chicken feathers around the dustpan, and they couldn't stop laughing with joy.

Chunxiao bumped the star fruit with her elbow: "Sister, you hurry up from Second Brother Qiao, our family has two golden beetle sons-in-law, that is called majesty." ”

Carambola tore his mouth with his hand, and made him face with chicken feathers: "I told you to talk nonsense, I am not ashamed." ”

A-Niang also slapped Chunxiao on the shoulder: "What nonsense? Your sister's innocent girl's family, is your sister still alive when it is spread out? ”

Chunxiao knew that she was wrong, so she was slapped twice, scratched the back of her head and smiled shyly: "Isn't this at home?" Second Brother Qiao had thoughts about my sister. ”

"Still talking nonsense?"

The star fruit was about to fight, so frightened that Yang Chunxiao hurriedly covered her mouth: "Don't say it, don't say it." What's the big deal about my son-in-law, I'm going to be admitted to the Shiguang lintel in the future. ”

Carambola stretched out her hand to twist the chicken feathers off Chunxiao's face, and said with a smile: "This is a man, even if my brother-in-law is the prime minister, it is also the glory of my brother-in-law, we have to have our own talents." ”

"I know."

The family laughed and laughed until midnight, and did not go to the big kitchen to eat, so they boiled some multigrain porridge and had a small plate of pickles for supper.

Yang Cui, who was busy embroidering the wedding dress, also came out shyly, and the star fruit hurriedly served her sister a meal, and said with a smile: "People are in good spirits when they are happy, and my sister looks good when she looks good." ”

Yang Cui's face flushed shyly, and she didn't care about the star fruit, holding the bowl to eat.

A-Niang glared at the star fruit and asked Yang Cui: "Have you embroidered the new son-in-law's steady heels and red trouser belt?" ”

"It's all right."

Ye's heart ironed, and patted the eldest daughter's hand: "You are blessed, and our family will also be stained." It's a big day tomorrow, so you should dress up. ”

I was having fun when I heard a bowl drop next door.

There is no separation, and the three rooms are crowded in a courtyard. The third and second rooms are only separated by a wall, and you can hear clearly when you talk here.

Similarly, there is movement in the second room, and there is no confusion here.

Several people stopped talking and looked at each other: What is the second room for?

"I'll tell you Yang Er, this family must score. I know all day long to take advantage, what kind of thing? ”

Across the wall, the star fruit can feel the majestic momentum of the second uncle's scolding. She took the chopsticks and put the pickles in her mouth, and the more she chewed, the more tasteless she felt.

"You be quiet, the third brother and they are next door." The second uncle's voice was soft, and he begged his grandmother to be as cautious.

"What if you hear that? The third child is a waste, and the family provides him with a study until he is twenty-five, and he has not touched the edge of Xiucai. Farming is not good, hunting is not good, marrying a daughter-in-law is still a medicine jar for illness and disease.

I don't have any interest, so I should live honestly! After a dowry ceremony, you have to do a big job, the girl doesn't send out the film to be a maid, the kid is so old that he doesn't want to make a living, and he dreams of being a big official. This family is not divided, is it trying to drag us to death? ”

"Ancestor, my mother gave the three rooms and a half hanging money, but I didn't give much. Don't make a fuss on a good day, okay? ”

"No, if this family is not divided, life will not be possible."

"What points? Auntie is now a showman, and in a few years, how much light will we follow? Someone in Yuezhang's grain shop took care of it, and the land we planted was all official land, so there was no need to pay taxes. ”

"Really?"

The voice of the next door was getting quieter and quieter, and it was hard to hear clearly, and several people looked at each other and fell silent, eating quietly.

After a long time, Yang Chunxiao raised his head and looked at his father and mother seriously: "I must work hard, and I will be admitted to the Jinshi master even if I die." ”
