Chapter 30: When I first arrived at my aunt's house
I didn't walk for a while, and I saw a small farmhouse courtyard, a little dilapidated, with rows of bamboo at the door, this is it.
There was no need to knock on the door, the door was open, and Li Lanxi walked in.
"Anyone......"
"You.... Who are you looking for, grandma..... Grandma is not at home" A thin girl of five or six years old stood timidly at the door of the hall and looked at Li Lanxi.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, where did your grandmother go, I'm from another village, I'm from another village, I'm here to find your grandmother, that is, my aunt" Li Lanxi tried to slow down her tone as much as possible, so that she wouldn't be nervous.
"Grandma..... I went to dig potatoes in the field" The little girl was very timid and spoke like a mosquito.
Li Lanxi entered the house, put down the back basket, took down the pheasant, and asked the little girl, "Do you have a chicken coop at home?" ”。
When the little girl saw the pheasant, her eyes lit up, chickens, she used to have them, but they were sold by her grandmother, she liked it, because chickens can lay eggs, and they can eat eggs every day, the little girl nodded vigorously "Yes, yes, in the firewood room".
Li Lanxi asked her to find out the chicken coop and put the chicken in the cage, and when the chicken was put away, the little girl's vigilance against Li Lanxi was reduced, and if she could send chickens to her family, she would definitely not be a bad person.
Li Lanxi sat in the house for a while, feeling a little bored, the little girl had been staring at the pheasant and playing, Li Lanxi walked over and touched her dry hair.
"When will my aunt come back, that is, your grandmother, when will she come back".
The little girl shook her head, "I don't know, but the sisters should be back soon, and they will come back with potatoes every once in a while."
Sure enough, after a while, two girls came back at the door, one was older, looked eight or nine years old, and a little smaller, about seven or eight years old, one carrying a back basket, which contained a small half basket of potatoes, and the two of them were very difficult to carry, after all, they were still small, and thin, and they carried it back and forth several times in the morning, and they were very tired.
When the two entered the yard, they found that there was a chubby girl in the house, and the older girl was bolder, so they asked, "Are you?" ”。
Li Lanxi had to say it again, the two girls were very happy, no one had been here at home for a long time, since their father and mother left, the relatives did not dare to have anything to do with them, and they all took a detour to meet them, and it was the first time that Li Lanxi took the initiative to come to the door.
The two sisters poured out the potatoes and prepared to go to the field, and by the way, they called their grandmother back and told her that there were guests at home, Li Lanxi had nothing to do anyway, so she went with them, and the youngest girl had to go with them, so the four of them went together.
A few people on the road said a few words from time to time, Li Lanxi knew the names of several girls, the older one was called Tang Yao, the middle one was called Tang Qing, and the younger girl was called Tang Yuanyuan.
After walking for about ten minutes, they walked to their house's land, Li Lanxi was startled, this area is really big, you have to get a few acres of land, it's all potatoes, how did this old, weak, sick and disabled plant!
An old man with hunched body and gray sideburns is digging potatoes with a hoe in the field, her movements are very slow, every time, it seems to use a lot of strength, Li Lanxi knows, that is her aunt, according to her mother, her aunt is only two years older than her mother, how do you feel that she is no less than ten years older than her mother, she is skinny and skinny, and her family is so big, how can she not be full?
Several girls ran over excitedly, pulled the old man's clothes and said, "Grandma, grandma, there are guests at home."
"Grandma, she's a chubby big sister."
"Grandma, there are chickens, my sister has sent pheasants"
Yao Guihua listened to half of it, and she didn't understand it, but when she saw a chubby girl standing on the side, she asked suspiciously, "Are you?" ”。
Li Lanxi stepped forward, "Auntie, I am from Shanghe Village, my mother's name is Yao Chunhua, she asked me to take a look at you."
When Yao Guihua heard Yao Chunhua's name, her nose was sour, her eyes were red, and she held Li Lanxi's hand excitedly and trembled, "You, you, are you really Chunhua's daughter??" ”。
Li Lanxi nodded affirmatively, "Yes, aunt, my mother's house can't leave, I'll come to see you on her behalf, are you okay?" ”。
Yao Guihua wiped a handful of tears, wiped her eyes with the corner of her clothes, and said hoarsely, "Okay, it's all right, what about your mother, is she okay?" ”。
"My mother is fine, you don't have to worry".
"That's good, that's good, I'm relieved" Yao Guihua nodded again and again, she has been pressing a stone in her heart, this is her eternal heart disease, how many years, she is overwhelmed, and now, Chunhua's daughter is here, she must have forgiven herself.
"Come on, come here, hurry up and call your cousin" Yao Guihua beckoned a few girls to call people.
"Cousin"
"Cousin"
"Cousin"
Li Lanxi nodded at them.
Yao Guihua didn't dig potatoes anymore, anyway, it was not half a star late, and it was not bad at this time, beckoning a few children to prepare to go home to cook and eat.
"Auntie, I haven't carried it back yet" Li Lanxi was entangled when he saw a large piece of potatoes, the leaves were yellowed, and a pile on the ground was freshly dug up.
"It's okay, it's okay, no one wants it, everyone has it, let's go, go home, I'll make you something to eat, you kid, your mother let you come alone?" She's relieved, huh? Yao Guihua picked up half of the back basket of potatoes, squatted down, and was about to carry some back by the way, and several girls quickly loaded their back baskets into half of the basket.
"What's not to worry about, auntie, I'm bold, you carry the basket to me, I'll carry it" Li Lanxi snatched her basket over, feeling a little less, fluttering, and picked a big potato in the field and threw it into the basket.
Yao Guihua was startled, and hurriedly stopped her, "You kid, why can you still let you work when you come to your aunt's house, give it to me quickly", and was about to snatch the back basket back.
Li Lanxi will definitely not let it be given to her, and her subordinates continue to pick up potatoes, "Auntie, my mother said, let me do some work for you, you can't rob me, otherwise my mother will beat me when I go back."
If Mrs. Yao is here, she will vomit blood when she hears this, and she herself will be willing to give up her daughter. Work.
Yao Guihua saw that Li Lanxi insisted on carrying it, so she didn't stop it, and she liked her a little more in her heart.
But after a while, seeing that Li Lanxi was about to fill the back basket, Yao Guihua had to stop her, "Enough is enough, you can't carry it more."
This is not a small back basket, this is a big back basket for adults, and for real crops like potatoes, adults can only carry a half-back basket to the sky.
Li Lanxi continued to pick it up indifferently, and said, "Auntie, look at my physique, can I not carry it, don't worry, my back moves."
Yao Guihua was in a hurry on the side, but she couldn't twist her, and the three girls were also a little scared, so big and carrying a basket, can my cousin carry it, don't fall.
Li Lanxi is not worried at all, she has a lot of strength now, and she dislikes the small back basket, no matter how big it is, she can also carry it, she keeps picking it up, and the back basket is full of it, and she really can't put it down, so she stops.
Seeing the old and young, they all looked at themselves in astonishment, with an unbelievable expression, Li Lanxi didn't defend himself, he squatted directly, put on the back basket, stood up at once, craned his neck and smiled proudly, and said to the three dumbfounded female dolls, "How about it, believe it."
How many girls have seen this battle, they can not be admired in an instant, Tang Yao is even more envious, if she can carry so much like her cousin, the potatoes at home will not be dug up until now.
