The rooster crowed for the third time, Chen Shuangchuan woke up, looked out of the window in a daze, it was still very dark, and he squinted for a while before getting up and dressing, and pushed Chen Caichun, who was sleeping in the same bed, and called: "The third sister is getting better." ”

Chen Caichun got up a little angrily, wrapped in a quilt, and squirmed reluctantly like a chrysalis for a long time, muttering angrily: "Master He is not sick anymore." ”

Chen Caichun is a short-term worker at Mr. He's house in the next village, because he is young, he usually sweeps the yard, washes clothes and does chores, even if he is really sick, it is not her turn to rest, but more than usual. But Chen Caichun still thought about the last time when Master He was sick, the kitchen made countless delicious dishes, and Chen Caichun got a small piece of braised pork, and she has been thinking about that taste until now.

After reciting this sentence, Chen Caichun was hungry for himself, poked his head out, and said to Chen Shuangchuan with bright eyes: "Wait a minute, fry me a pickle cake, put more pickles." ”

Chen Shuangchuan was already dressed, looking in the mirror, the pigtails were tightly braided, and she didn't sleep badly, so she didn't disassemble and reknit, just sprinkled some water on the palm of her hand, wiped it on her hair and smoothed it, hearing Chen Caichun's words, she frowned and replied: "Fei oil, my mother will scold." ”

"Just know the baby her son!" For that hopeless pickle cake, Chen Caichun rolled over the quilt a few times, and finally muttered indignantly.

This complaint, Chen Caichun was already as quiet as possible, but she forgot that the two beds were very close to each other, and there were only a few layers of cloth curtains in between. ”

As soon as she heard the sound of Yang's turning, Chen Shuangchuan was very alert and hurriedly jumped downstairs in three steps and two steps, and when she was washed, she could still hear Yang's voice scolding Chen Caichun, imagining Chen Caichun's pitiful appearance, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.

While Yang had not yet gone downstairs, Chen Shuangchuan moved a stool, climbed up with his feet, and on the top of the cupboard, Yang hid a paper bag, took out two dried longans along the seam, and hid them in his pocket.

This climbed up and down, and I was afraid of being caught, my nervous heart was beating wildly, and my head was sweating. When Yang went downstairs, he still felt strange, and casually asked, "Is it hot?" It almost didn't make Chen Shuangchuan jump in fright, but Yang didn't think much about it and let her go.

The morning of the Chen family was as busy as usual, Chen Shuangchuan skillfully made a fire to wash rice, cooked a pot of sweet potato porridge, grabbed some rice flour and mixed some bran noodles, mixed them together with brown sugar, and steamed them together while cooking porridge.

When the porridge was almost cooked, everyone just sat down at the table, Chen Caichun came over to help serve the porridge and serve the plates, Chen Shuangchuan took the opportunity to stuff the two dried longans into her hands, and pouted at Yang's Yaoyao, meaning not to be discovered by her mother.

Chen Caichun looked down in some surprise, the little face that had been stiff after being scolded by the Yang family finally thawed and smiled, and then stuffed back one for Chen Shuangchuan, and said to Chen Shuangchuan silently: "I will leave it to you next time." ”

The little secret between these two little girls was not discovered by the Yang family, she was busy explaining to Chen Shunan, she had to listen to her husband's words, read well, and not allow Laipi to be lazy.

This remark will be staged almost every day, Chen Shunan is about to memorize it backwards, listening to it very impatiently, holding his bowl of porridge and drinking it in two or three sips, he stood up with a wipe of his mouth and said: "I still have to write silently today, Mr. said to arrive early." ”

This is about to go out, Chen Shuangchuan hurriedly took out the steamed cake, cut off a piece, wrapped it in a clean cloth, and handed it to Chen Shunan, the academy is far away, and he can't go home to eat in time, this is Chen Shunan's lunch.

For fear that Yang would talk again, Chen Shunan grabbed something and rushed out in a hurry, and accidentally bumped into the door frame, and Yang screamed in distress, but he said that it was okay, covered his head, and disappeared as soon as he slipped away.

"Anan really works hard in his studies." Yang also looked at the door and said to Chen Shiyou happily, "Wait a minute, buy a piece of meat for him to make up, how hard it is to study." ”

Chen Caichun's temperament is a little explosive, and he feels aggrieved when he listens to it, isn't it just to study, sitting in the school all day, the sun can't shine, the rain can't be drenched, how hard can it be, and he has to buy a piece of meat to make up for it, and he goes out to be a cow and a horse, but he wants to eat a pickle cake and is scolded for such a good meal, and he comes out of the same mother's womb, how can this heart be biased like this?

Chen Caichun, who was angry, slapped his chopsticks on the table at the moment, and said viciously: "I won't eat, let's go!" ”

But Yang didn't notice it at all, and was concentrating on a plate of small salted fish, Chen Caichun slapped the table like this, causing her to tremble coldly, and the half of the salted fish fell into the bowl.

"Dead girl, what are you crazy about!"

Seeing that the scolding craze that had just subsided was about to be staged again, Chen Shiyou hurriedly put down the bowl and said, "If you miss work, you will have to deduct your wages, and the three girls should not leave quickly." Four girls, we're good to go. ”

Chen Shuangchuan hurriedly agreed, wrapped up the leftover steamed cake, and followed with it.

Yang forgot about Chen Caichun, and said to Chen Shiyou: "You go to dry salt, the four girls can't help much, let her embroider with me at home, the girl's family is with a group of big men all day long, and it's not good to spread out." ”

"The four girls are just a little bigger, what are you worrying about?"

"Embroidery can also earn some money." Yang said it reasonably, Chen Shiyou didn't know how to refute her for a while, so he glanced at Chen Shuangchuan in embarrassment.

Hurriedly hugged a small basket out, Chen Shuangchuan said with a smile: "Mother, I will go with my father to pick up some mud snails and come back, and cook them for my brother at night." ”

Chen Shunan likes to drink mud snail soup, if he chooses too much, he can save money on buying vegetables, after thinking about it, he thinks that this is good, so Yang just ordered to go early and return early, and there was no objection.

Carrying steamed cakes and holding a small basket, Chen Shuangchuan and Chen Shiyou went out of the house, at the bend of the road, Chen Caichun was waiting there with a small pebble in boredom, Master He's house and Yantian are in the same direction, and they can walk almost half the way on the same road.

Seeing Chen Caichun's sullen appearance, Chen Shuangchuan lifted the small basket, and then said, "Third sister is not angry, watch me catch a big blue crab for you to eat." ”

"Stupid, the blue crab is under the sea, how can you catch it." For Yang's eccentricity, Chen Caichun is actually used to it, but sometimes he just feels angry, and he was coaxed by Chen Shuang like this, smiled, and then said to Chen Shiyou very seriously, "Mother only hurts Anan, father, you can find us another mother who loves us." There are several mothers of the young master of the He family, why can we only have one mother? ”

Chen Shiyou really felt that Yang was not kind to this matter at first, and thought that he would go home at night and talk to Yang about it, the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat, so he couldn't treat the girl so badly. But as soon as he heard Chen Caichun's rebellious words, Chen Shiyou immediately turned black-faced, and yelled very impulsively: "No matter how wrong it is, it's also your mother, you are not allowed to say such bastard words in the future, just work honestly, don't inquire about these shadowless things!" ”

Chen Caichun was immediately frightened, and the tears that he had endured for a long time burst out all of a sudden, and he shouted: "Dad is a big villain!" Then he wiped away with tears and wept, and couldn't even pull it.

Chen Shuangchuan, who had been watching from the side, sighed very old-fashionedly, and said to Chen Shiyou, who was still stupid: "Dad, let's go, it's going to be dawn." ”

"This girl's stinky temper ......" Chen Shiyou sighed stupidly, seeing that the sky was really cloudy and bright, there was still a long way to go, I was afraid that I would be late, so I quickly grabbed Chen Shuang's hand and began to concentrate on the road.

Chen Shiyou's salt field is outside the village, inside the seawall, because he has to take care of Chen Shuang, Chen Shiyou slowed down, and walked for almost an hour to arrive.

There are already a lot of early people in the salt field, and the construction has not officially started, so everyone gathered together in twos and threes to squat on the edge of the field and chatted happily, seeing Chen Shiyou coming over with Chen Shuang, and a few people who are a little familiar, they joked to Chen Shuangchuan: "Four girls, is your father planning to pass on the craft to you and find a son-in-law to use?" ”

Chen Shuangchuan was not annoyed, holding her small basket, uncles and uncles called people over one by one, they were all from the same village, and there was always a little bit of kinship around the road.

After laughing for a while, and seeing that it was almost dark, everyone got up and went to their own work.

Yantian is a place that Chen Shuangchuan likes very much, with two or three fingers high wooden strips separated into a very regular square, which is very carefully paved with broken cylinder pieces, smooth and smooth, when he was younger, Chen Shuangchuan said more than once that he would also lay this kind of cylinder pieces at home, and was severely ridiculed by the adults, and then gradually stopped talking, but every time he came, he always liked to touch it with his hands.

"Peel off carefully." Chen Shiyou followed her and muttered, there are salty things everywhere here, children's hands are tender, and it is easy to crack and peel off the skin if you touch it casually, and it will be even more painful when you soak it in salt water.

"I've got to wash my hands well."

Chen Shuangchuan is not a very worrying child, Chen Shiyou just told him in vain, and he didn't care whether Chen Shuangchuan listened or not, he lifted the lid of the brine manhole, put a salt label and sank, dipped it in some water and tasted it, and then nodded with satisfaction.

There are five brine wells in this salt pan, and Chen Shiyou went over to look at each of them, but only one well was too light. "There's not a lot of salt in the sun."
