Chapter Fifty-Eight: Relatives Come to the Door

There was no Aoki at home, and I suddenly felt a lot more deserted. Although he doesn't talk much on weekdays, he always eats at home three times a day, and now he suddenly eats with fewer people, and Chrysanthemum feels extremely unaccustomed.

Aoki took a leave of absence in the school, and Master Zhou's meal could only be delivered by Zheng Changhe. Yang still carries the boiled pigs into the water every day to sell, and when they are finished, they pick up the fresh and unwashed pigs and pigs' heads to the house.

On this day, Chrysanthemum was cooking pig's head, and Zhao Dazui came.

He wore an old cotton jacket, carried a basket in his hand, and said to Chrysanthemum with a smile: "Chrysanthemum, come and see what this is?" ”

When Chrysanthemum saw it, she asked suspiciously, "What?" As he leaned over, he saw a little black dog and a rabbit in the basket, and asked happily, "Oh! Big Mouth, how do you know I'm going to catch a dog to feed me? What's the matter with this rabbit? ”

Zhao said with a big smile: "I heard your brother ask Third Uncle Zhao if his dog was pregnant that day, and the third uncle said that it was not." It just so happened that my aunt's dog had three puppies, so I caught one of you. I dug a trap for this rabbit in the mountain, and I went to collect it this morning, and I collected three rabbits. Send one to eat you. ”

Chrysanthemum thanked him hurriedly, and she was not polite, so the rabbit brought it up, put it aside, and waited for her father to come back and get it; He took the little black dog out again, saw that it was a small fluffy ball, and asked with a smile: "It's so big, what do you want to feed it?" ”

Zhao Dazui smiled: "Dog, where there is so much attention, just feed some corn paste." When it grows up, doesn't it still eat! ”

Chrysanthemum glared at him with disgust and asked, "Brother Big Mouth, your daughter-in-law is in love, when will you marry back?" ”

Zhao Dazui blushed a little, and said with a smile: "Marry next year." It's not that there is no money, but if there is money, it will be possible to marry at the end of the year. ”

Chrysanthemum said to him: "Brother Big Mouth, you are not very old, you will marry next year." It's good to save some more money. Oh, I forgot to tell you, you go to the mountains to pick up some acorns in your spare time, these things can be fed to pigs after they have been soaked. You catch two more pigs next year, and when you feed them, you can sell them to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

He told him carefully what to do with the acorns, and brought him four pieces of acorn tofu from the kitchen, and told him to take them home and burn them.

Zhao Dazui was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief: "Is this really made of acorns?" Pigs are willing to eat too? ”

Chrysanthemum hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Brother Big Mouth, don't talk nonsense!" This is what people eat. Pigs don't have to be ground so finely. Come, I'll scoop some and see. ”

Seeing that he had not yet understood, Chrysanthemum spoke to him again, and scooped some soaked acorns for him to take home, and let the pig eat them; Naturally, the tofu also let him bring it.

Zhao Dazui grinned happily and said, "Now I won't have to worry about the silver to marry a daughter-in-law next year." ”

When Chrysanthemum saw that he was thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Dazui scratched his head embarrassedly, laughed twice, and hurriedly said to Chrysanthemum: "Then I'll go home first." If the pigs eat this, they have to go to the mountains to pick them up. ”

Chrysanthemum nodded. She suddenly regretted itβ€”she should have told these people earlier. Although there are still on the mountain now, but the rain is soaked and blistered, but I am afraid that it will rot a lot. At that time, you will have to pick and choose, and it will be very troublesome, and the spoiled fruit will not be fed to the pigs.

So he told Zhao Dazui again.

He hurriedly said: "I know, just pay attention when peeling the shell." If it's all rotten, there's no way to do it, so I'll have to wait until next autumn to pick up more. After saying that, he hurried away.

A few days ago, Aoki told the village chief about the acorn, and Zhang Huai and Zhao San got Aoki's guidance one step earlier, so in the past two days, there have been more people who have gone to Xiaoqingshan to pick up acorns. From time to time, people come to Chrysanthemum's house and ask how to clean up the acorns.

Zheng Changhe took the trouble to explain to others, and led them to see the nuts he had packed up and the tofu made from acorn noodles washed from chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemum saw that there were many people, so she hid in the house and made needlework.

At noon, her mother Yang led her second aunt to the house.

The second aunt, Lin, is a pretty little woman, with a beautiful bun on her head, a smooth and oily clean up, and her clothes are also colorful.

She brought her son to wealth and longevity. The one who came to Cai was seven or eight years old, with long eyebrows and handsome eyes, a "toilet lid" on his head, and only a pigtail on the top of his head, ghostly, and naughty; Laishou had just been able to walk, so he told her to use a cloth towel on her back.

When she saw Chrysanthemum covering her face, she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Chrysanthemum, I haven't seen it for a long time, have you grown so tall?" Woohoo! This one looks much better with a face towel. His aunt, our chrysanthemums are actually quite good-looking. Come to wealth, come to life, call my sister! ”

As he spoke, he put down the birthday on his back, and carefully pulled the new jacket with a big red flower on his body, and wiped it smooth. She speaks softly and softly, and she doesn't know how virtuous people think of her, but Chrysanthemum knows that her speech can anger people.

Lai Cai Gulu rolled his black eyes, ran to Chrysanthemum, lifted the face towel on her face and glanced at it, his hand shook, and he hurriedly put it down in disgust, shouting: "Sister Chrysanthemum, I thought you were getting better, but it turned out that you were still the same as before." ”

Chrysanthemum looked at his restless appearance with nowhere to go, and said in her heart, "Trouble is coming." This is not a worry-free lord, and he usually tosses her every time he comes back. The big and the small are not worried. The second aunt must have seen that her mother had made some money by selling pigs and going into the water, so she came to find a bargain. ”

She didn't say much, and called out in a proper manner: "Second uncle! ”

Lin responded with a smile and said to Laishou: "Go, play with my sister." ”

Playing with my sister? I'm afraid I want my sister to bring it! Chrysanthemum has a headache, and this second aunt is really making people callous.

Yang beckoned Lin to sit and said to her, "Chrysanthemum wants to cook." You take a breath first, I'll wash this pig in the water while I have time, and it's time to eat later." Coming to Cai, are you hungry? ”

When he came to Caizheng to look here and there, he saw his aunt asking him, and replied loudly, "Auntie, I'm hungry." ”

Yang said to Chrysanthemum: "Grab some pots for him to eat, and make a bottom first." Let's cook. ”

Chrysanthemum answered, went to the kitchen to get some pots, and let the kid grind his teeth. I went to cook my own meals.

When Yang went to the river to wash the pigs and go into the water, Lin moved a small bench, held the freshly roasted chrysanthemum fire jar in his hand, and sat at the kitchen door watching the chrysanthemum cook.

Chrysanthemums are busy, a pot on the pot, a pot on the pot, and she has to deal with her constant questions, what pig is washed and burned, her mother can sell for more than a few dollars a day, nagging non-stop. I didn't see her helping Chrysanthemum to stuff the fire in the stove hole, thinking that she cherished the clothes and was afraid of getting dusty.

Because the matter was over, Zheng Changhe followed people to the mountain, and no one helped her.

Chrysanthemum was so busy that she always ignored her, or she would respond like a mosquito humming, so that she couldn't hear clearly, anyway, the chrysanthemum was like this before.

Lin saw that Chrysanthemum couldn't answer happily, and he didn't find it interesting, so he went to the hall and sat on the fire bucket.

Chrysanthemum finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But after she burned the rice almost the same, she heard the sound of money coming from the yard, and she was a little uneasy, so she ran out and took a look, belch! This kid is carrying a long bamboo pole, and he is driving the group of chickens, running all over the yard!

The chickens were "clucking and cooing" by him, fluttering their wings and flying everywhere, making the yard dusty; Some also flew into the small vegetable garden, stepped on those green spinach and onions and garlic or something, and saw the chrysanthemums distressed.

She hurriedly stopped him and said, "Come to Cai, what are you doing with this chicken?" Don't do it. "I ran over and drove the chickens out of the garden.

Laicai stopped and said to her with a smile: "Sister Chrysanthemum, I will catch it and kill it." I haven't been to my aunt's house for a long time, can't I kill a chicken? ”

Chrysanthemum resisted the urge to beat him, and said with a stiff face: "There are a lot of dishes to eat you at noon." This chicken is so small that it can't be killed. ”

Unexpectedly, Lin heard it in the house, and took over the conversation with a smile: "Hello! Is this still small? It's more than a pound, right? Put some garlic on the table to cook two bowls! ”

Chrysanthemum was so angry that she didn't want to pay attention to her - why did the second uncle marry such a woman? I was afraid that she would babble, so I said unhappily: "This chicken has been fed to lay eggs, save some money for my brother to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

The Lin family in the room seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then smiled for a while: "Ouch! Chrysanthemums can really get by. Your mother sells pigs into the water when she sees the sky, can you still make less money? ”

Chrysanthemum was about to go crazy, she held back the fire hard, ignored her, and was just about to go back to the kitchen, but found that Laicai had pinched the skin on the neck of the little black dog with his hand, picked it up, and watched it struggle, laughing and cheering in her mouth, triumphant.

The little black dog hung in the air, kicking on all fours, and barking at the chrysanthemum!

She hurriedly ran over, rescued the little black dog from Laicai's hand, and scolded him: "What are you tossing it for? Beware of it biting you, and see if you're still making trouble? ”

She was really a little scared, if this dog bit him just now, who knows if it will be infected? If this is infected, with the level of medical care here, it will be fatal!

Laicai stuck out his tongue and ran away laughing.

Chrysanthemum carried the little black dog to the kitchen, made some hot soup and mixed it with cold rice to feed it.

As soon as he turned around, he found that Laishou was blocking a pile of with Huang Cancan at the gate. In the middle of winter, the pile of stuff had just come out of the oven, steaming with white smoke.

When the boy was finished, he got up and looked back at the pile of things and studied them for a whileβ€”maybe he wanted to go up and touch them!

This time, my feet are really on fire!

Lin shouted in the house, "Ouch! Baby poops. Chrysanthemum, quickly help Laishou wipe his buttocks, don't get dirty clothes on his body - this cotton jacket and cotton pants are new, and they are only on today. ”

Chrysanthemum really wanted to ask her, is that your son? Thinking that she was an elder, I put up with it.

reluctantly went into the house to find two pieces of straw paper and helped Laishou wipe his buttocks; Then he went to the stove hole and shoveled a shovel of grass ashes, covered the pile of, swept it up with a broom, and poured it out!

She comforted herself: "It's also a big soaking of dung, and it can also fatten a vegetable, right?" ”

I ask MM to recommend it!
