Chapter 12: Lao Zhao's Family (1)
On the fourth day of the crossing, Du Jun, who was woken up by the rooster crow in the morning, woke up in a daze, straightened his fluffy hair, resigned himself to his fate, cleaned himself, washed his face and brushed his teeth.
The temperature began to cool down in the morning, in the small courtyard tried to play the original owner's military stick, this set of stick method looks simple, but the practicality is quite high, the martial arts are like a storm, dense but not sparse, the stick method in the picking, splitting, poking, teasing, hanging, collapse, point, sweeping, wearing, blocking, picking, racking, supporting, lifting, smashing each has its own merits, a set of stick method down, hearty.
The original owner's strength is great, if this set of sticks really hits anyone, he will go to his destiny if he doesn't die.
After moving their hands and feet, when the time came, all the people in the village got up, and they didn't know why they got up so early. Du Jun surrounded the small courtyard by himself, took a circle, and saw what was alive, and he could suffocate himself to death every day.
After looking around, I determined today's work, first, I picked the ripe pears, second, I fed the horses and chickens, and third, the vegetables in the vegetable field should be cleaned up, and the ones that should be dried and stored should be saved.
After setting the work goal, I boiled two eggs, a small plate of vegetables, three pieces of snacks, and a bowl of milk-frothed oatmeal, had a simple breakfast, and started work.
I don't have to be so particular at home, I changed into a set of modern clothes, and I didn't dare to change them all, a pair of jeans, a pair of Nike, all made Du Jun happy, and he was covered with a big long coat, so that Du Jun's clothes may not be different from the wall. This sneaky wear, cautious and excited.
First of all, feed the chickens, the eggs were collected, and there were eleven, and I saw that the kitchen basket was full, and even the basket was closed.
I endure every day, I rely on it, and now the horse's ...... has been increased, I'll go to ...... and ask someone to do it, I can't stand it...... Ah, my Nike, stomped on...... Whining......
Du Jun, who was embarrassed by and a pile of excrement from horses, and slandered in his heart, suddenly heard a knock on the door:
"Papapa", and then a crisp daughter's voice came out, "Sister, are you at home?" Open the door for me".
When Du Jun heard this, he thought about it, Zhao Yan, the second sister of the original owner, was thirteen years old and the same as Zhao Jia, but she was very shrewd, so don't be found out by her.
He quickly replied, "Wait for me."
Ran into the house, flashed into the space, came out after changing clothes, and opened the door, it was undoubtedly Zhao Yan.
To say that the original owner and the old Zhao family can still have a connection, in addition to the two sisters, Zhao Yan, Zhao Xiu, and a sister-in-law Zhao Shufang of the same age, several little girls are of the same age, and occasionally have the opportunity to play together.
This is also the original owner's childhood adoptive, at that time they all recognized people, the two sisters are still young, in that home can't eat enough, the original owner has the opportunity to bring them two to eat, and sister-in-law, belongs to the old Zhao family is one of the few good people, the bamboo shoots are good, they are slowly connected when they wash clothes outside, but they don't come out much, and the number of meetings is a little less.
"Sister, why are you so slow, what are you doing at home?" , Zhao Yan began to complain as soon as they met.
"Stepping on, go back and change your shoes, why did you come here at this time?" , Du Jun is not happy in his heart, he feels sorry for Nike...... The new ...... that I just wore
"Hahaha, sister, you are so good, do you have anything to eat at home? I was hungry, and I didn't eat in the morning, and I didn't eat either. ”
Hearing Du Jun's "stinky news", Zhao Yan laughed without sympathy.
Rolled his eyes, and then looked at the "second sister" in front of him, one word, thin, visually 1.55 meters, Zhao Jia of the same age is only 1.4 meters (crying and fainting in the toilet, she is a monster, I am normal). Maybe it's a strip, the hair is a little yellow, messy, the eyes are the same as the original owner, the apricot eyes are big, the skin is dull, and there are a few acne...... The clothes were clearly ill-fitting, much larger, with several patches, and straw sandals on their feet.
It's not like I don't know, I'm scared, but fortunately I didn't cross over to her, and there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south......
"Why did you mess with the milk again?" The original owner, can you be a little promising, such a dead old woman, you have been shouting milk, and you are directly depressed and have a mouthful of old blood.
"This time, it's because of you that you didn't give me and my third sister food."
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Sister, you came back yesterday and brought a lot of things, and the people in the village spread it all over, and the milk was angry because of this, saying that you got good things and didn't give it to her, no, you drove me and the third sister out to cut the pigweed in the morning, and it is estimated that the third sister will have to come over in a while."
"Okay, I'll have lunch here in a while, and I'll get you a dim sum pad", after speaking, Du Jun turned around and went back to the house, loaded four dim sum and two oranges, and handed them to her.
"It's still comfortable here for my sister, I'll leave half of these for the third sister, sister, ask you something, are they telling the truth?" Zhao Yan asked while eating
"What did they say?"
"That means your uncle bought you a lot of dowry."
"Do you believe it?"
"Sister, I don't believe it, when the aunt of the Du family left, he didn't come back, he only asked someone to give you something all these years, if he really came back, he would definitely go back to the village, so ...... I didn't buy it from my uncle."
Zhao Yan said to Du Jun word by word.
This girl is so smart!
It's a good seedling!
"I brought back a lot of fabric yesterday, and I'll bring some back for you and my third sister in a while to make a dress."
"Sister, no need, I'm here to remind you this time, my grandmother and second aunt are probably going to beat you."
"I'm not at that house anymore, how can they be embarrassed to come over ......," Du Jun sarcastically said.
"I definitely won't come directly to ask you for something, I know that I won't care about this, I guess it's either the third sister or the mother, the third sister, I'm staring, what do you think about the mother, anyway, what you have given to your mother over the years are in the hands of the second aunt", speaking of that mother, even the second sister unconsciously showed a wry smile.
"That house did that trick again, right?"
Speaking of the old Zhao family of the original owner, there used to be a beautiful place, the yard is very large, the main entrance is the middle of the five brick houses, built by the great-grandfather, has been more than 50 years, next to the ancestral house, the east and west sides of the small three, the whole yard has eleven houses.
The old couple and the youngest daughter, the youngest son plus the treasury and the hall house occupy the middle five ancestral houses. The three adobe houses on the west side, which turned out to be utility rooms, were given to the eldest son's family of five. The three brick houses on the east side have also been built for ten years, and they belong to the second son's family of five.
The family has 26 acres of land, generally speaking, it is quite a lot, but it can't stand the large population of the old Zhao family, and now there are still 14 people, the old son is 20, the youngest daughter is 16, and the grandchildren are already 15 years old.
This youngest son must have a house when he marries a daughter-in-law; If the youngest daughter marries, she must have a dowry; The eldest grandson will be old enough to marry a daughter-in-law in two years, so he will have to continue to have a house.
The family's income is mainly from farming, plus three pigs, a group of chickens and two daughters-in-law's embroidery to fill it, plus the cost of studying for the youngest son, and there are no more than a few taels of silver left in a year.
People are poor and short-sighted, and this idea hit Du Jun again.
"Sister, are you?"
A glutinous female voice came from the door.
