Chapter 125: The Frog Storm

"Have you usually seen Lin Xiaodan have a close relationship with anyone?" Li Pearl asked mysteriously.

"No, she doesn't seem to have any friends in the village, I think she is a loner all day long, and she has a general relationship with the people in your youth institute." Xie Xiaonian thought about it for a while and said.

"Yes, I think so too, and in addition to her relationship with Zhang Hao, she was not close to anyone else, and her relationship with the people in the village was even worse, she always looked high."

"What's wrong with her?" Xie Xiaonian cooperated with Li Pearl and asked curiously.

"She's getting married!" Li Pearl can't believe it now, Lin Xiaodan is suddenly going to get married.

"Married? With whom, someone else's matchmaker? Xie Xiaonian asked curiously.

"It's the object of her own conversation, it's our 5th production team, the captain's son Xie Guoyong, yesterday morning his family also came to the educated youth institute to pay a salute, but we were not at home at the time, or we went back at night to find out, I heard that the wedding day is set for next month 12. I really didn't expect her to get married so soon, and she was still married to someone from the village. Li Pearl said with a sigh.

"She did such a good job of secrecy! No one knows who to talk about. But it may be that she met the right person, which is why she wants to get married so soon. Xie Xiaonian said.

In fact, what they don't know is that in addition to Lin Xiaodan's feeling that Xie Guoyong and her family conditions are good, one of the biggest reasons why she got married in such a hurry is that from the middle of next month, the autumn harvest will begin.

When she robbed the city, she almost didn't get through, and the hope of returning to the city was so slim, especially when she saw that some educated youths in the neighboring villages had been in the countryside for 5 or 6 years, and they hadn't returned to the city yet, so she didn't have extravagant hopes.

So since she can't go back to the city, she has to marry herself off before the autumn harvest, so that she doesn't have to do so much work.

And when she thought about getting married to avoid work, she didn't see that none of the women in the village went down to the land to earn work.

Maybe she saw it, but she just felt that she was different from them, Xie Guoyong's family conditions were not bad, and she could treat her as if she was an eldest lady, and she didn't work at home.

And even if she has just been married for a few years, her face is still there, and the man pities her and does not let her work in the field, but when the family earns not enough to eat, she can still rest every day.

After the rain stopped in the afternoon, because there was water on the trees and the ground, the few people did not go out to work, and after playing in the cave for a while, they went down the mountain and went back.

Because the mountain road was very slippery after the rain and there was water everywhere, even if a few people did not fall, when they got down the mountain, they were very embarrassed, not only were they covered in mud, but their pants were also wet.

In order to prevent catching a cold, Xie Xiaonian hurried home to change his clothes.

When Xie Xiaonian came out after changing his clothes, he saw a wooden basin in the yard with a cloth bag in it, Xie Xiaonian stepped forward to open the cloth bag, and saw that there were nearly 40 or 50 frogs inside.

Although Xie Xiaonian is not afraid of frogs, when so many are put together, Xie Xiaonian still feels a little panicked.

Although he had eaten frogs himself, they were all dealt with, and although the original owner had dealt with frogs, Xie Xiaonian had not touched his hands, and Xie Xiaonian resisted touching them with his hands in his heart.

So Xie Xiaonian restored the cloth bag to its original state and went out to wash clothes with a basin.

When I came back, I saw Xie Xiaobao running forward and said, "I want to eat frogs, you can make them for me now." ”

That tone, I don't know, I thought she was ordering people.

"I want to eat it and make it myself!" Xie Xiaonian didn't pay attention to him after speaking, and went to dry his clothes with a basin.

After Xie Xiaobao saw that Xie Xiaonian was still busy in the kitchen and did not do what he said, he immediately went out to find Wu Lihua to complain.

As soon as Wu Lihua came back, she pointed to Xie Xiaonian, who was cooking, and said, "Why don't you kill the frogs, Dabao they worked so hard to catch them, can't you help kill them, what use do you say to raise you." ”

Xie Xiaonian heard what she said, and replied coldly: "I didn't rely on you to raise you, you feel so sorry for your son, you can help him get it yourself." ”

Wu Lihua saw that Xie Xiaonian still dared to refute, and immediately shouted: "It's not that I raised you, then who did you rely on to raise it, have you been drinking the northwest wind for the past three years, aren't you eating grain, if I hadn't raised you, you would have starved to death, you ungrateful little bastard." ”

"Hmph, even if I eat the food at home, it is also what I have in exchange for my labor, I work at home every day, and the little food you gave me is not enough to repay me for the work." Xie Xiaonian replied.

"Oh, you conscienceless, I bothered to feed you, that's how you treat me." Wu Lihua sat on the ground and cried loudly.

Xie Xiaonian didn't bother to pay attention to Wu Lihua's shouting, didn't cook the meal, threw down the dishes in his hand, turned around and went back to the house.

Wu Lihua hadn't dared to mess with her for so long, but today she dared to make trouble. It seems that today is to forget about her own situation in the Xie family now.

Although Xie Xiaonian didn't know why Father Xie hated Wu Lihua so much recently, it didn't prevent her from letting her recognize her situation.

Because Wu Lihua was shouting like a shrew, saying that she had raised Xie Xiaonian, but Xie Xiaonian didn't know what to do, was ungrateful, and contradicted the elders, etc., and the people in the neighborhood gathered outside the Xie family's courtyard to watch the excitement.

However, everyone knows what Wu Lihua is like, so although people gather outside, no one comes forward to persuade them, so they only watch the excitement outside the door.

When Father Xie came back, when he saw the situation at home, he closed the door angrily and taught Wu Lihua a lesson.

When did his daughter be raised by Wu Lihua, why didn't she say that she was raised by her, she didn't give her a look in the past two days, and she didn't know who she was, so she began to jump.

Xie Xiaonian also heard the sound of Father Xie beating Wu Lihua, but she didn't leave the house, Xie Xiaonian always felt that Father Xie's temper had become worse and worse in recent months.

However, Wu Lihua is not worthy of sympathy, they can be regarded as one thing and one thing.

After Father Xie vented the anger in his heart, he said to Wu Lihua: "Since you are so idle and have the energy to quarrel, you will cook the dinner that night." ”

And Xie Xiaobao next to him knew that he had made it like this because he wanted to eat frogs, so he didn't dare to say anything in fear, for fear that Father Xie would be angry with him.

In the evening, although Wu Lihua made fried frogs, Xie Xiaonian didn't eat it, just took his share of the nest head and pickles, and went back to the house directly.

At this time, Li Zhi and Zhang Hao were also eating frog meat, and it turned out that after Xie Dabao caught the frogs, he secretly sent nearly 20 to Li Zhi.

Although Li Zhi did a lot of wrong things, Xie Dabao thought that she was his eldest sister after all, and she was pitiful enough now, so he secretly sent it over.

Because the jujubes and chestnuts on the mountain began to ripen, after Xie Xiaonian saw Li Zhi the next day, he said directly: "We will hand over some mountain goods together with the autumn grain every year to support the city." According to the usual practice, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the village usually begins to organize members to sweep the mountain goods, and when the time comes, you will have to go to work again. So I thought, let's start picking jujubes and chestnuts today, and save more before you go to work, and when you go to work, I'm afraid I won't be able to pick them myself. ”

"Okay, okay, I've been staring at those things for a long time, especially those pear trees, I've wanted to eat pears for a long time." Li Pearl said happily.

"Then let's pick a few pears to eat, and then we'll get the rest." Liu Yifan saw that Li Pearl was so greedy, so he proposed.

"Okay, let's go!" After saying that, the three of them walked together to the nearest pear tree.

The pears on this mountain are all wild black-skinned pears, although the appearance is not good-looking, and the core is not small, but it is very sweet and juicy, like those pear trees at the foot of the mountain, which have long been snatched up by the children in the village.

"Like jujubes, chestnuts, hazelnuts, we can dry and store, how can this pear be done, it won't be like the previous peaches, grapes and the like, it won't take long to eat it, and in the future, except for apples, but there is no fruit to eat." Li Pearl ate the pear in her hand and said sadly.

In the past few months, the wild fruits on the mountain have raised her mouth, and from time to time she wants to eat some wild fruits, if she doesn't have to eat them in the future, she is really a little unaccustomed to it.

"Now that the weather is not as hot as before, when the time comes, you can secretly carry the pears home and put them in the cellar, and they can still be stored for a while. After a while, the apples will be ripe, apples are better stored than pears, and we have a lot of apple trees here, so I will pick more at that time, and I will definitely be able to give you fruits to eat in winter. Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.

"But when the time comes, just in time for the autumn harvest, are you busy by yourself? And do you also have to go down to the field to pick up beans, sweet potatoes and so on? ”

Because when the double robbery, Xie Xiaonian went to the ground to pick up ears of wheat, so Li Pearl felt that Xie Xiaonian would definitely have to go to the ground at that time.

"It's okay, even if I go to the field, I have to wait until the grain in the field is harvested, and I have nothing else to do in the early stage except cooking and delivering food, and I will pick it slowly when the time comes." Now that Li Zhi is married, delivering food can only be her job.

"That's okay, it's really not good, don't pick it if you can't pick it, and you have to leave some for the small animals in the mountains." Li Pearl took a step back and said.

In fact, Xie Xiaonian has space, how can she let things go to waste, although she won't pick them all, but it won't be enough for a few people to eat, she still wants to take the opportunity to mix the things in the space and send some to her uncle's family.

At this time, when the mountain goods are handed over to the state and then divided, each family will not be able to share much.

Although when the uncle's side sweeps the mountain goods, he will go to the mountains, and there are more points than Xie Zhuang's side, but the uncle's family has many children, and this small snack is still not enough.

So Xie Xiaonian is ready to send some to her uncle's family when the time comes, anyway, she has a lot of space.

For the next 2 or 3 days, in addition to the work that the three of them had to do, the three of them were all working on mountain goods, and around the cave, they were full of various things.

On the first day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after several people put things into the cave, Xie Xiaonian said: "Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, how are you going to spend it!" ”

"How can you live when your family is not around, when you are at home, you can still eat a mooncake together, but here, the villagers don't buy mooncakes, and we can't spend money to buy them." Li Pearl said.

"Yes, I haven't seen anyone who buys mooncakes!" Liu Yifan also said.

"Then let's make our own mooncakes tomorrow!" Xie Xiaonian proposed. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
