Chapter Twenty-Six: I Bought a Few Baked Cakes
Ye Xinyan followed Qi Younian's line of sight, and when she saw the little back, she asked very suspiciously, "Grandpa, what is the child picking up?" ”
Qi Younian replied: "Pick up manure and pick up fertilizer for the field." "It's just that it's rare for such a young child to pick up dung.
When she got home, Mama Jin had already cleaned up the yard, and because she didn't have any cooking furniture, she still boiled it in a small pot.
Ye Xinyan moved things to the house and saw a small basket on the kang, and there were more than a dozen nests in the basket.
Mama Jin saw Ye Xinyan looking at her and explained: "This is what your uncle and grandmother asked Sanshun to send, saying that the guy who didn't cook for us must not be able to eat enough, so let's make do with it for two days." ”
Ye Xinyan smiled: "It seems that Sanshun kid said that we drank the pasty in the morning." I thought it wasn't too early to cook, so I bought a few pancakes at the market. ”
When I first bought it, the burnt smell of the freshly baked cakes made Ye Xinyan almost drool. It's no wonder that Ye Xinyan, for more than half a year, she has been filling her stomach with mixed bread and nest heads, and nest heads and mixed flour cakes.
Heroin? She really hadn't eaten it.
Qi Younian took over: "Put the nest first, let's have baked cakes for lunch." While the baked cake is not yet cold, it will not taste good if you put it again. ”
He saw the light in Ye Xinyan's eyes when he bought the baked cakes, and he was obviously hungry for this baked cake. Thinking that Ye Zi is also used to the life of a rich man, and now he is coveting the baked cakes, which is also pitiful. When he earns money from his work, he will definitely let his granddaughter eat baked cakes every day.
Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan wiped their hands and faces, and Mama Jin brought the rice. Although there is still no kang table on the kang, the newly bought oilcloth has a new plate with six baked cakes on it, so it looks like eating.
As soon as the three of them sat down, there was a laughter in the courtyard, "Second uncle, this yard still needs to be repaired, let's come over and see if there is anything we need help with." ”
Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan glanced at each other, he had already told his eldest brother that the farm was busy these days, and the season did not wait for anyone, so the family still did the work in the field first, and did not come to him to help first. How could Han put down his work in the field and help them clean up the yard?
Ye Xinyan hurriedly got up, intending to go out.
Before they went out, Han and Sanfang's eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang, walked in, and Zhang's was still holding her two-year-old daughter Hua'er in her arms.
Ye Xinyan hurriedly called: "Second aunt, third aunt, come in and sit." ”
Qi Younian also sat on the kang and greeted: "Dagen's daughter-in-law and Dongzi's daughter-in-law are here." We were just about to eat, and you guys came just in time to have a bite to eat together. leaves, give the two aunts a mush. ”
Han Shi said first: "Second uncle, don't be polite, we have only had lunch for a short time. The second uncle has just come back, and there must be a lot of things to settle down, so let's just come over to see if there is anything we need help with. As he spoke, he glanced at the plate on the kang, "It's just lunch, it's a little late." ”
Qi Younian's food was placed on the small kang in the outer room, and the first thing Han saw was the few baked cakes on the plate.
Han Shi retracted her gaze, the smile on her face was obviously not smiling, her eyes swept over the faces of the three people in the second room of the Qi family, and she giggled: "The second uncle has really seen the world, so he will eat baked cakes." I bought it in the county, right? At noon, my mother-in-law also asked my family to send some nests, and I said, you and your leaves are used to eating those things. ”
When Zhang heard this, he immediately took two steps, looked at the burnt baked pancakes on the plate, and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "I really eat pancakes, a pancake costs two pennies, and with one penny, it can sell for a pound of mixed noodles." The people in our village are reluctant to eat a baked cake even during the New Year. ”
The little girl in her arms also stared at the plate, and the saliva from the corner of her mouth dripped onto the placket of her clothes.
Qi Younian's face changed, and he didn't say anything else after all, only explained: "I went to the county seat to buy things today, and I came back late, so I didn't have time to cook, so I bought a few baked cakes." Since it is a rare food, then give the child two to eat. ”
"Yes, give the flowers to eat too." Ye Xinyan hurriedly wrapped a baked cake with the oil paper that was originally wrapped in the baked cake and sent it to Hua'er. He wrapped up the others and stuffed them into Zhang's arms.
Now that people have seen it, just these few baked cakes, the big house and the third room are not enough to divide at all, rather than leaving two that are criticized, it is better to take them together, one hundred.
Zhang hurriedly stretched out one hand and caught the paper bag.
Han Shi didn't stop him on the side, but pretended to excuse himself: "No, the second uncle still wants to take the baked cakes for lunch, we took it, what does your family eat?" ”
Qi Younian patiently explained: "Ye Zi and I went to the county seat early in the morning, and we didn't know that there was a nest sent by my sister-in-law at home, so we bought a few baked cakes. The pancakes should be served hot, so you can share them with the children. We are all adults, we can eat anything, and there is a nest brought by your mother-in-law, which is also a good meal. ”
Ye Xinyan brought two bowls of water over, "Auntie sit down and drink saliva." ”
Han hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, since you haven't eaten yet, then don't bother, let's go back first." Second uncle, Ye Zi, when you have work, remember to say it, they are all family, don't see outside. ”
Watching the two Han families leave with their children in their arms, and then looking at the empty plates, Qi Younian sighed, "Mama Jin, bring up the morning nest." ”
He felt very uncomfortable, and where there were people, there would be strife, and so did his own family. Han must have heard that they had come back from shopping and came to check on the situation, but they bought baked cakes. This is the nest that was brought over for the big house.
Han and Zhang left Qi Younian's house, walked out of a section, and saw that there was no one around, so they started to separate the six baked cakes and took three each.
Just now, when a few children in the village were looking for Sanshun to play, their family happened to rest on the ground for a while and drink some water.
When Han heard the children say that Qi Younian came back with a donkey cart, he thought about going over and taking a look to see what kind of family this second uncle was, and whether it was possible to come and divide the land in the big house and the third house.
Han found an excuse to come back, thinking that he didn't look good in the past alone, so he called Zhang from the third room by the way. Speaking of which, except for Qi Yougui, probably everyone in the Qi family is worried that Qi Younian will come back to divide the family property, but the degree of worry is different.
Among them, the Han family and the Zhang family are more reasonable in their daily lives, and they are also worried about the return of the second uncle of the Qi family.
No, as soon as the second sister-in-law of the big house said hello, the Zhang family followed, and she didn't come in vain, so she got three baked cakes. You must know that people like them are not willing to buy baked cakes to eat casually.
Zhang tore off a small piece of baked cake for his daughter, wrapped the rest and stuffed it into his arms, and said regretfully: "I don't know what the second uncle bought, we didn't have time to see it." ”
Han sneered and said, "Just by looking at these few baked cakes, you know that they are not really rich. What can you buy without money? It's nothing more than cheap belongings that must be used at home. ”
Han came to see this experience, and he also had a bottom on the second room. Seeing these baked cakes, as well as the newly bought oilcloth and the coarse porcelain plate on the kang, I knew that the second uncle was not a rich man.
