"Qingqing, you little liar, you still said that you came to play with me, how long has it been here, and I haven't seen you come to me once." As soon as Xiushui entered the door, he pinched Ziqing's face and asked pretending to be angry.

"Aunt Shui, I really can't leave, you see, the little brother is only a few months, and he can't leave people at all, my mother is very busy all day long, and the work in the field is always unfinished, and I rarely go out after I move here. Really, why don't I pick cucumbers for you to eat? Ziqing saw that Xiao Xiushui was a little unhappy that she hadn't looked for her for a long time, so she pulled her shirt and explained.

"Don't lie to me, how can you eat cucumbers now, I'll bring you peaches, the peach trees at the door of the house have been stolen by someone, and you probably won't be able to eat them if you wait." It's still okay for me, I think about you for all the good things. After speaking, she opened the four peaches wrapped in a handkerchief, walked to the well to fetch water and washed them, and then handed them to Ziqing and Zishou.

Ziqing took Zixi out and put it in the basket to bask in the sun, explained that Zishou looked at it carefully, and then took a hoe and took Xiao Xiushui to the vegetable field, "Hey, there are really cucumbers to eat." After saying that, he picked one by himself, rubbed it on his clothes, and put it in his mouth.

Ziqing picked a potato seedling on the edge and dug it with her hands, and as soon as she got the soil on the edge open, Ziqing saw the potatoes, and when she dug it out, there were three or four big ones under a potato and a few small ones, which was not bad. Ziqing dug up another one.

"What is this, why haven't I seen it, like taro and not." Xiushui squatted aside and asked curiously.

"Let's go, I'll cook potatoes for you to eat." After speaking, the two picked up the potatoes on the ground, went to the well platform to wash them, Ziqing put a few small ones into a small pot of stewed rice and added water to boil, the new potatoes are so ripe, and they are not big, just twenty minutes, Ziqing put out the fire, simmered for a while, took it out, peeled the skin, dipped it in sugar, and handed it to Xiushui.

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, I'll want it too." Ziqing asked her to get it herself. She peeled one for Zishou and took it, found another spoon, and put a little bit of it in Zixi's mouth, Zixi took a sip and ate it, looking at Ziqing with wide eyes, "Little thing, you also know it's delicious." Ziqing didn't dare to feed it anymore after feeding it twice.

Xiushui finished eating two here, and was wrapping the rest in a handkerchief, saying that he would take it back to eat, "I don't care, I took it away, anyway, what you have at home, you can cook it yourself." ”

"Okay, you can take these big ones back and cut them into pieces of stew and eat them, but don't shout them around." Ziqing was afraid that the Tian family would be angry when they found out.

After sending off Xiushui, Shen also came back with Zilu, this time Shen really bought a piece of flower cloth, and five pieces of blue cloth, the flower cloth is a light purple, faint small flowers, very elegant, Ziqing likes it very much. Zilu also wore new clothes, but his clothes were short.

Ziqing saw her mother put a bag of copper plates into a special wooden box under the bed, so she asked how many copper plates were sold today, Shen said, less than a penny, cucumber Wuwen, bracken Wen, chili Wuwen, beans Wuwen, all of which are new dishes, and they are in time for the festival, so they sell well.

Ziqing saw that Shen was in a good mood, so she told Tian that he came over to ask for a stone of wheat as a Dragon Boat Festival ceremony, and Shen sighed when he heard it, and said, "What else can I do?" Give it, if you don't give it, outsiders don't know what's going on, and they think that our family is really not filial, and our reputation is bad, and what we do in the future will have an impact. It's only a matter of one or two silver, just when my mother's vegetables are sold for nothing today, don't say anything when you go out, remember? ”

Zilu and Ziqing nodded hurriedly, Zilu said: "When I was harvesting wheat, I went to Grandpa's house to pick up cows, and the eldest mother said that Grandpa went to help Grandma's family collect wheat. I also went to help my aunt plant rice, and my aunt seemed to be very angry. ”

"Lu'er, don't listen to these things, your aunt is angry in her heart, and she wants to pass on the words through you, but she just wants to make her heart blocked, and she wants to find out something, so we won't be fooled. If others can help you, you must remember to receive the affection of others, and if others do not help, do not resent. Do you know why my mother bought five pieces of the same blue cloth today? Because when the courtyard wall was built, several uncles of the family came to help, but no one took our family's wages, and when your eldest brother came home, you two went to send this cloth out, and it was a festival, and my mother will buy cloth for a few of you next time to make single clothes. Mother will do it for your father and eldest brother first, you pick up your eldest brother's old clothes, if your mother makes new ones for you, I am afraid that your grandmother will see it and make trouble, besides, my mother still wants to save some money to build a house. Shen said so much in one breath, Ziqing hurriedly poured a glass of water.

"Mother, don't worry, we all understand." Ziqing hurriedly said, and Zilu also nodded.

After Zifu got out of school, Shen really sent them to deliver the cloth and told Zifu to express his gratitude. When the two of them left, Ziqing remembered about the potatoes and hurriedly took her mother to dig them.

"By the way, my mother saw that there were potatoes sold in the city today, and I thought about why our potatoes were not ripe yet. Come back and forget about your grandma's affairs. In the past two days, the vegetables can be sold at a good price, but unfortunately our vegetables let me pick hard, and I can't pick anything tomorrow. Shen said happily.

When Zifu and them came back, the mother and daughter were still digging, Shen asked the two sons to pick up the potatoes in the basket, carry them to the well to wash them, and picked up a few small potatoes and went back to wash and cook, Ziqing followed to light the fire, Ziqing asked her mother to fry the foreign with dried chili peppers, and then pat some garlic, just fry the vegetarian, Shen asked suspiciously: "Who told you this?" Could it be that the boss who sells potatoes still tells you how to eat it? ”

"That's not it, if he doesn't say how to eat, others won't eat it, who will buy it? The boss also said that you can cut it into pieces of roast meat and eat it, isn't there no meat in our house today? Ziqing explained.

At dinner, this bowl of shredded potatoes was very popular, and when he was eating, Zishou suddenly said: "The eldest sister cooked in the morning is also very delicious and sweet." Facing three pairs of inquiring eyes, Ziqing hurriedly told Xiao Xiushui about the peaches that Xiao Xiushui came to deliver in the morning, and said that she also sent a few big ones for her to bring back.

Shen thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow Lu'er and I will go to sell vegetables, Fu'er will go to your grandma's house, send a few potatoes over, pick a few cucumbers, and pinch the cabbage. In addition, tell your grandma and grandfather, Maizi will be sent over when your father comes back, but don't talk about your mother's vegetable sales, or your grandma has other ideas. ”

"What wheat thing?" Zifu doesn't know yet.
