Chapter 111: Sweet Burden
In the end, Xie Xiaonian could only follow the original owner's method and said to them: "They all stand obediently on the side, whoever looks good will give them good food in a while, and those who are not well-behaved or well-behaved will not be." ”
In this era of scarcity of materials, the temptation of the three words "delicious" to the children is still very great, so as soon as Xie Xiaonian's words fell, several children stood aside obediently and looked at Xie Xiaonian.
This is still the effect of the original owner's training, when Xie Xiaonian was still living at his uncle's house before, every time he went up the mountain to collect medicine, he would bring back some seasonal fruits for them.
Or if there is a snack at home, she is never willing to eat the original owner's share, she will put it away first, and when the children are disobedient, she will take it out to coax these children.
So as soon as they heard Xie Xiaonian's words, they knew that as long as they were obedient, they would have delicious food, and they would become very well-behaved one by one.
Zhang Jing, the second cousin-in-law who took care of the children at home, also heard the voice at this time, and hurriedly walked out of the yard, seeing that Xie Xiaonian was coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to take Xie Xiaonian's bicycle and said: "Xiaonian, why are you here, is something wrong!" ”
Because Xie Xiaonian hasn't been here much in the past few years, except for the New Year, the second cousin-in-law was very surprised, thinking that something was wrong, but looking at Xie Xiaonian's face, it didn't look like something was wrong, but she still asked uneasily.
Xie Xiaonian said embarrassedly after hearing this: "Second cousin-in-law, it's nothing, just come and see you, isn't the school closed today, why aren't Poria and Guangmu at home." ”
The second cousin-in-law was relieved when she heard Xie Xiaonian say that it was okay, and then said: "Poria and Guangmu, the two children went up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and I thought that I would not go to school today and let them rest at home, but who knew that the two children were so sensible, and after eating early in the morning, they went to the mountain." ”
When the second cousin-in-law spoke, she had a big smile on her face, and she couldn't hide her pride in the children.
While speaking, the two had already walked to the courtyard, while several children followed behind, staring closely at the back basket on Xie Xiaonian's bicycle, waiting for Xie Xiaonian to bring them good food.
Xie Xiaonian's heart melted when he saw them so cute, but after seeing their faces, he was a little distressed, although his nephews and nephews in his previous life were not very fat, they were all ruddy, white and clean, and their flesh was pampered.
And the children in front of them have no baby fat unique to children, and their faces are a little yellow, although they are like this in this era, and these children are quite good, unlike some children who seem to be African refugees, but Xie Xiaonian still feels a little sorry for them.
Seeing their faces, comparing her appearance when she was at her uncle's house, Xie Xiaonian felt more and more that her uncle's family loved her, and in an era that was much more difficult than now, she could still raise herself for nothing, which shows how attentive she was.
At this time, Xie Xiaonian made up his mind that he must also take care of the body of several children, at least he can no longer look like he is malnourished, and he must also make up for the body of his uncle and concubine, at least he can suffer less when he is old.
Although the children all looked at Xie Xiaonian with blank eyes, because the courtyard wall was relatively low, others could see the scene in the courtyard when they stretched out their heads, and the countryside did not close the gate during the day.
So out of prudence, Xie Xiaonian still didn't give them food, but just motioned to the second cousin-in-law to take off the two back baskets with him and bring them into the hall.
As soon as I took the things into the house, I saw that the eldest concubine came back in a hurry, and the first thing I said when I entered the door was to ask if something was wrong.
Although Xie Xiaonian was speechless, he was still very moved by the care of the eldest concubine, so he explained to the eldest concubine again, saying that he was just coming to take a look.
After Xie Xiaonian finished speaking, he saw that Sun Feng was obviously relieved, patted his chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
Then the eldest concubine said to Su Mu: "Su Mu, go to the foot of the mountain and talk to your grandfather, Xiao Nian has nothing to do, just come and see, so that they don't have to rush back in such a hurry." ”
Xiao Nian was even more moved after hearing this, and at the same time felt that the original owner was too undeserved, and he couldn't come twice a year, so he made everyone in his uncle's family worried, and thought that something had happened to him.
And although Su Mu was greedy for delicious food, when he heard his grandmother's instructions, he could only go to the foot of the mountain to find his grandfather and them, but he believed that her little aunt would definitely leave him a copy of the delicious food.
The other children were still on the side, standing obediently and not speaking, but Xie Xiaonian saw that the children were staring at the cloth bag one by one, so he smiled and took out the small bag containing candy, walnuts, chestnuts and jujubes from one of the bags, and wanted to share them with several children.
At this time, I heard the eldest concubine say: "Xiao Nian, why did you still bring things, if your stepmother knows, your life will be even more sad, hurry up and bring these things back after eating, don't be found by your stepmother." As he spoke, he also stopped Xie Xiaonian's movements.
Although Sun Feng is not afraid of Wu Lihua, if Xie Xiaonian really brings so many things from home, it will be a loss for them, after all, food is the most important thing in this era.
There is a family in the village, because the daughter-in-law gave food to her mother's family, and the mother-in-law was about to be killed.
And after Xie Xiaonian listened to the words of the eldest concubine, he knew that she had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "Eldest concubine, don't worry, I didn't take anything from home, these dried fruits were all picked up by me in the mountains some time ago, and the candy was also sent by Xu Zhongjun with money and tickets, I went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy it the day before yesterday, and it has nothing to do with my family." And everything in the house is locked up by my stepmother, and I can't get it if I want to. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the bag again, and filled each child with a large handful of snacks that could be eaten directly, and let them go to eat and play.
"Where is there anything on this mountain now, have you gone to the mountains?" As soon as the eldest concubine heard that she picked it up on the mountain, she quickly asked worriedly, and the second cousin-in-law was also on the side, looking worried.
After hearing this, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly said: "I didn't go into the mountains, and you also know that the people in our village are afraid of going into the mountains, so they usually only dare to dig wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain." And no one picked the things in the mountains, so they grew on the tree, and no one touched them. When I was a child, I used to go up the mountain with my grandfather and cousin, and I was not as scared as the people in the village, and I used to go to school all the time and didn't have time to go to the mountain, but now I don't go to school, and I have time, so I went to the mountain to have a look, thinking about finding something to eat. I didn't expect to find it, I thought that there must be no snacks at home now, and I got a lot, so I brought it. I'm an aunt, and I should give some snacks to my little nephew, right? And I didn't go alone, I was with Xu Zhongjun, so don't worry. ”
"Before, it was okay for you to go up the mountain with Xu Zhongjun, but now that Zhongjun is gone, wouldn't it be more dangerous for you to be alone." Don't say that Xu Zhongjun is okay, but when Xu Zhongjun is said, the eldest concubine is even more worried.
"It's okay, it's not that you don't know my skills, and I don't go to the mountains, just hunt some prey and pick some herbs on the periphery. And after Xu Zhongjun returned to the army, I didn't go to the previous mountain much, and now I go to another hill with the two educated youths in the village and I have a good relationship, you, don't worry! Xie Xiaonian comforted.
"Okay, you have to be careful, don't trust others too much, and keep an eye on everything, can you?" The eldest concubine instructed again.
At this time, she didn't know that the pork sent by Xu Zhongjun last time was not bought, but hunted in the mountains, otherwise she would definitely stop Xie Xiaonian if she said anything.
"Uh-huh, don't worry! I brought dried pheasants and hares today, as well as fish and loaches caught yesterday, and you want to make me something to eat in a while, I haven't tasted your craft for a long time, and I'm really panicking. Xie Xiaonian said coquettishly.
"Okay, good, I'll let you eat enough today." When Sun Feng heard that Xie Xiaonian wanted to eat the food she cooked, there was nothing she didn't agree to.
Xie Xiaonian persuaded the eldest concubine and just breathed a sigh of relief.
I heard my second cousin-in-law say, "Then your stepmother will be willing to bring you these things you got?" Don't go back at night, she'll look for you again."
"It's okay, these family members don't know, I didn't take the food I got on the mountain home, Xu Zhongjun and I found a cave in the mountain, we got everything in the cave, and these are all of them."
As he spoke, Xie Xiaonian took out all the things in the other bag, and then continued: "These mushroom fungus were dried by me before, and these air-dried pheasants and hares were also hunted in the mountains before, and Xu Zhongjun and I couldn't eat them all, and now I can't eat much by myself, so I pickled them and dried them in the cave." Today, I took some of it, and there are a lot of lap-mei in the cave. ”
The eldest concubine and the second cousin-in-law were a little surprised when they saw so many and said: "There are so many things, it's strange if you don't go into the mountains, how can there be so much game on the periphery of the mountain, you are not allowed to go again in the future, if you are hungry, come to the eldest concubine's house, and you will not be able to eat at home." ”
"That's right, Xiao Nian, you can't go to this deep mountain, and nothing is important about your life." The second cousin-in-law also echoed after hearing this.
Xie Xiaonian saw that the two of them talked about not letting her go up the mountain again, and hurriedly said: "I really didn't go to the mountains, you have to believe me, I am still very rare for this little life!" While speaking, Xie Xiaonian also shook the arm of the eldest concubine coquettishly.
Seeing that the eldest concubine no longer said anything against her going up the mountain, Xie Xiaonian hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Eldest concubine, I'm a little hungry, let's go cook!" ”
"I'm hungry so early, didn't Wu Lihua give you food in the morning. It just so happens that there is still some food left in the morning at home, so you pad your stomach first, and I'll go cook. ”
As soon as he heard that Xie Xiaonian was hungry, Sun Feng couldn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly served Xie Xiaonian food, and scolded Wu Lihua again in his heart.
"I ate, I just rode here, and I'm hungry again." Xie Xiaonian was afraid that the eldest concubine would be worried, so he hurriedly explained.
While eating Xie Xiaonian, he thought, there are many people who care about it, and it is also troublesome, this is really a sweet burden.
And what she doesn't know is that she will have more sweet burdens in the future.
