Chapter 10: I Eat Meat, You Drink Soup
In the small courtyard of the Wei family, Cui Zhi turned his head to look at Wei Ming.
She saw Wei Ming's thin body like a little chicken, and she also looked at herself.
He wouldn't really think of himself as a child bride, would he?
Tian wouldn't think the same way, would he?
Cui Zhi hurriedly went to see Tian, Tian didn't seem to pay attention to this statement, but Xiao Yi's cry came from the house, Tian hurriedly collected his tears, and said to her before leaving: "It's okay, don't be afraid, as long as Muzi and I keep you, you'll be fine." Saying that, he pointed out the door, "Look, Aunt Guo from the house next door is also here, she likes you most cleverly, and she will speak for you." ”
Tian said it well, Cui Zhi saw Granny Guo greeting Old Lady Zhu angrily.
"What? Is your granddaughter enough to sell? To harm other people's daughters?! ”
A conviction with a hammer.
Old Mrs. Zhu was arguing happily, and she was also gagged by her.
There are a few daughters-in-law who can pinch and quarrel, and when they got Granny Guo's real hammer, they knocked the old Zhu Po hard.
A mouthful asked directly, "I don't know how much money your old man can sell?!" I'm afraid I can't sell it for a penny! ”
Adults grind their mouths, children get started directly, and Ping Pong smashes Old Zhu Po with stones.
Old Zhu Po didn't have time to scold, her mouth was grinning and she couldn't hear clearly, she raised her hand to protect her face and wanted to run away, Granny Guo gave her granddaughter a look, and Chunfang, the eldest girl of the Guo family, stretched her legs, and the old Zhu Po just tripped up, slammed, and fell a dog and ate.
Half a foot of dust was raised in front of Wei's house, and everyone in the village looked up and laughed.
Cui Zhi also laughed, since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, but she looks at how Old Zhu Po can stand up!
Seeing this posture, Luo and Xiao Ying dared to tie themselves together with Lao Zhu Po, so they hurriedly took advantage of the chaos and ran away.
They all ran away, and the people who had been eating melons for a long time were scattered, Granny Guo was not in a hurry to leave, and reminded Cui Zhi: "Are you still young, hurry up and see Old Lady Zhu, run away half a mile, don't be caught by her!" On weekdays, I go in and out with Muzi, so I remember it! ”
"Remembered!" Cui Zhi nodded vigorously, hating to nod his head off.
Granny Guo and Guo Chunfang both laughed out loud when they saw her funny posture.
Wei Ming was beside him, and there seemed to be tears flashing in her eyes when he saw her. When Granny Guo, Guo Chunfang and others left, her eyes stayed on the road where no one was.
"Muzi, what do you want me to do?" She turned her head suddenly.
Wei Ming didn't speak, and shook his head slightly.
"You're looking at me? How not to admit it? Cui Zhi didn't relent, but walked up to Wei Ming's face in two steps, looking up at him, "You, do you know what a child daughter-in-law is?" ”
Wei Ming suddenly realized that this was what she cared about.
He asked rhetorically, "What is a child bride?" ”
"Hah! You stupid boy really don't know. Cui Zhi laughed, her eyes were bright, and her face was full of trembling wit, "The child daughter-in-law is the one who asks you to provide for it, and she gives her all the food and drink, and whatever she says is what she says!" Cui Zhi added another sentence after speaking, "I'm not your child daughter-in-law, you have to listen to me, when I eat meat, you can't drink the broth!" ”
Wei Ming didn't know what to say, if he was really Wei Muzi, who was ten years old at the time, he would have to be deceived by her and couldn't find the door.
The child daughter-in-law in her mouth is probably a Sanqing person, right?
Fortunately, she was not his child bride.
*
The east wind blew in the evening.
In the weather at the beginning of June, the house was stuffy everywhere, Tian Shi hugged Xiaoyi and came out to blow the wind, Cui Zhi sat on the stone mortar and took two deep breaths, "Is the drought almost over?" ”
Although this Daxing Dynasty is a dynasty that replaced the Ming Dynasty, this place is always right.
This is the place under the rule of Anqiu County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, although it is not near the sea, it is not far away, and it is time to enter the rainy period in the sixth month of the lunar calendar.
Sure enough, Tian said quickly, "There was also a drought last year, and it will still fall here." The dragon lord may have taken a nap and forgotten about it. ”
Tian sighed long, Xiao Yi in her arms looked up at the sky, her thin neck supported her big head, and she whispered, "Lord Dragon, Lord Dragon!" ”
Saying that, he leaned out to catch Wei Ming, "Brother weaves grasshoppers!" ”
The last time I knitted shoes for Cui Zhi, there were still a few grasses that were not burned, Wei Ming nodded and said goodbye to Xiaoyi, and smoothed the grass, but for a while he couldn't remember how to weave grasshoppers, in the end it was not like straw shoes, he made up for many years before the middle lift, and then went to Guangxi to take office, reluctant to walk through mountains and rivers under his feet, and put on straw shoes halfway, but he walked hard, and when he arrived at the land, people thought it was a merchant from the north and south.
This life can't be like this, relive a life, how can he still let his aunt and Xiaoyi live a hard life?
Besides, there is also a person who eats big fish and meat and grows up, since she is left, it is not good for her to starve.
It's just that he is still young, and his parents' mourning period has not yet passed, so he can't take the imperial examination for a while.
You have to think of a livelihood.
I don't know how much it can sell for a few manuscripts under a pseudonym.
What Spring and Autumn Period, biography, surprise, romance forget it, the eight articles have not been written for many years, and there are a lot of wastes, if you comment on the current affairs of the DPRK and China, with his current situation, who is angry and will cause trouble to the family, but you will suffer, you can only avoid writing some agricultural works, and I don't know if I can sell it.
Then again, I'm afraid I don't even have the money to buy paper right now.
The crown prince and master Wei Ming made a grand wish for rebirth, but now he didn't know how to make the first pot of gold, so he had to think about it carefully.
Xiao Yi urged, he couldn't hear it at all, Cui Zhi saw that he was starting to empty again, so he took Xiao B's hand and played with Xiao B, "Xiao Yi Xiao Yi, why are you called Xiao Yi?" ”
Xiao Yi couldn't answer her deep question, so she turned her head and asked Tian for help, "Mother, why is it called Xiao Yi?" ”
Tian touched her sparse yellow hair, "Xiao Yi is a little swallow!" We have warblers, finches and swallows in our house, how good! ”
Speaking of this, Tian's face suddenly became lonely, and Cui Zhi was just about to ask which little bird it was, but Wei Ming stopped him, "Help me pull the grass." ”
Cui Zhi was shouted by this, and immediately reacted, Xiaoque should be Xiaoyi's sister!
She hurriedly went to pull the grass for Wei Ming, but saw that the grasshopper had already been made up and was lifelike, and she was just about to praise her skillful hand, when she heard the Tian clan behind her cry in panic, "Xiao Yi? Xiao B! ”
Xiao Yi actually fainted!
"Doctor! Find a doctor! ”
Cui Zhi hurriedly shouted, but Tian cried: "There is no doctor!" The old man Bai in the village is a doctor, but he disappeared last year! ”
There is no doctor?! Cui Zhi, who is used to modern life, didn't think of this at all.
"That'...... That ......"
"I'll go and ask for Granny Bai!" Wei Ming said this suddenly, turned around and disappeared into the night.
Granny Bai quickly ran over with Wei Ming, and when she saw Xiao Yi's condition, she asked Tian what Xiao Yi had eaten, and when she learned that Xiao Yi had eaten rice soup for two days, she screamed, "Poisoned!" Chen Mi is poisoned! Gotta make her spit it out! Spit it out! ”
Cui Zhi and Wei Ming reacted almost at the same time, Chen Mi was poisoned, it would be fatal!
At that moment, Granny Bai had already worked with Tian's to pour Xiao Yi's upper body and clasp her throat and eyes, although the technique was rough, it really made Xiao Yi spit out.
"Aflatoxin poisoning ......" Cui Zhi clenched his hands beside him, "It's not enough to vomit, right?" Do you still have to clean it up?! ”
At this time, Cui Zhi couldn't care about pretending to be a child. Wei Ming glanced at her, and said yes, and called Granny Bai, "Mother-in-law still has rhubarb at home?" ”
Granny Bai said again and again, and called the little grandson who had just followed behind, and went home to get rhubarb for Xiao Yi to excrete.
Cui Zhi and Wei Ming both breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Granny Bai again: "These grains are all old grains, you can't just turn them over and cook them, you have to wash them with salt before eating, otherwise a little baby like Xiaoyi can't stand it at all!" ”
Tian nodded again and again, but Cui Zhi asked, "How much salt do you need?" How? ”
In ancient times, salt was a controlled material, how could a poor and white family like the Wei family get a lot of salt to wash rice?
She was puzzled, but Tian was not puzzled, and said: "Enough, enough!" What you have at home is salt! ”
