158: Send
"Okay, you can wait a minute."
Youyi took the hoe and began to fill the pit he had just dug with soil, and only threw things into it when he was almost full.
It was already late, and they didn't chop wood, so they picked up the yam and put it in the basket, and the brother and sister walked down the mountain with the basket on their backs.
It was already late when they got home, they had already had dinner at this time, but today they had just returned home.
"Brother, you rest for a while, I'll cook."
I put down my back basket and started to work again, but fortunately, the water tank at home was full this morning, and I didn't have to go to the village to fetch water.
It was already dark in the kitchen, and Xin'er lit a piece of Mingzi, and only then began to make a fire to cook by the dim and flickering firelight.
"Brother, give these yams to Grandpa tomorrow and bring some of them."
"Well, that's as it should be, it's getting late, I'll send them tomorrow."
During the meal, the brother and sister set up a small table on the weir to eat, and talked while eating.
"Brother, I want to send some to the Feng family, you see ......"
"Okay, you can send it to the Feng family tomorrow."
"Okay." Xin'er said with a smile.
Youyi Yuguang was stunned when he saw Xin'er's smiling face, but he still didn't say anything and ate silently.
After feeding the pigs in the dark, washing their feet, the two went back to their rooms to sleep.
……
"Sister, come and take a look, which section to give to Grandpa, which one to take and which one to give to Master Feng and them."
Youyi picked up all the yams that he dug up yesterday afternoon and put them on the ground.
Xin'er wiped her hands and walked over, squatted aside, looked at the yams on the ground, picked them up, and picked up two big ones.
"Brother, this is for Grandpa, this is for Master Feng, what do you think?"
Yesterday, I dug up a total of three large yams, and Xin'er picked out the largest of them and the second largest one.
There are many people in the old mansion, and Xin'er will give the largest one to the old mansion, and there are not many Feng family members, so a medium one should be enough.
Don't talk about anything else, let's just say that the old mansion is still there, and the best should be given to them, not to mention that the old mansion has always been very good to their brothers and sisters.
"Okay, listen to you, I'll send it over in a while, then you can take the Feng family."
Youyi had hardly been to Feng's house, and he still wanted Xin'er to send things.
"Brother, I have something to do in a while, the dirty clothes at home are piled up, and when you go to the old mansion in a while, take your things to Feng's house by the way, I won't go."
The clothes of the brother and sister have been dirty for the past two days, and they haven't been washed for many days, so I'm going to wash them today.
"But ......"
"That's it, it's all along the way anyway, brother, you can send things over by the way."
“……”
"Okay."
Youyi lowered his head and reluctantly agreed, and his heart looked at it and snickered in his heart.
"Then thank you for the rest, I'll wash them in a while, and we'll cook yams and eat them tonight."
"Well, where are you going to wash, I'll look for you when I'm done sending it in a while."
"I went to the river to wash, there is not much water at home, it is inconvenient, I don't know if there is water in the pipe, I'll take a look later."
"Well, then I'll look for you later."
"No, it's not much, I'm going to keep this big one, wash and eat these broken ones first."
"Hmm."
When Youyi went out, Xin'er put the dirty clothes at home in a basin, and used a basket to pack the broken yam picked up and carry it with him.
After locking the door, Xin'er walked happily to the river with a basin and a basket.
On the way, she also met a few people from the village, and when she looked at the yams she was carrying in her basket and asked a few questions, she laughed and sent them away.
Xin'er washed almost all the clothes, and Youyi also sent all the things to the river to find her.
"Xin'er, how much have you washed?"
Xin'er heard the voice, and when she turned around, she saw Youyi walking towards her.
"Brother, why are you here, didn't you say you don't need to come?"
"It's okay anyway, I'll take a look." Youyi said with a smile.
Xin'er pursed her mouth and said, "I just finished washing my clothes, and the yam hasn't moved yet." ”
"Then I'll wash with you."
As he spoke, he squatted down and picked out the yams in the basket and washed them.
"You didn't take the yam?"
After washing all the yams in his hand, Youyi found that he didn't have them, so he turned his head and asked.
"Well, just use this basket to put it, just wash it, if you can't go back, just clean it again."
As he spoke, Xin'er poured the yams in the basket on the ground and washed them in the water.
……
Youyi waited silently for her to wash the basket before putting the yams in her hand and continuing to wash the others.
Washing yams is quite time-consuming, especially if they are all small, which is even more time-consuming.
By the time the brother and sister finished washing the yams, half an hour had passed.
"Brother, you see there are fish."
When they washed the yam, they carefully scraped off the yam skin with bamboo slices, and after washing so many yam waters, they also got a lot of yam skins, and Xin'er vaguely saw some small fish eating those yam skins, so he pulled Youyi and whispered.
"Well, they're all small fish."
Youyi doesn't really want to catch them, those fish look too small, there is no meat, and the soup can't be boiled in a pot.
Xin'er wanted to catch it, but after looking at the things he brought, there was nothing to hold fish, so he gave up.
"Forget it, let's go back, it's been a long time."
"Well, I'll take care of the clothes, and you can carry the basket."
Youyi quickly took a step to take away the basin of clothes on the ground, and let Xin'er carry the basket of yams, which was much lighter.
"Hmm."
When he got home, Youyi started to dry his clothes, and Xin'er put down the basket and dried it with him.
"Brother, I'll go see if there is any water coming out, can you go?"
After drying clothes and resting on the weir for a while, I asked.
"Okay."
Because he was afraid of mud in the bamboo pipe, he used a basin to follow it when he pulled out the stick.
Changing the position is indeed a lot better, as soon as the wooden stick and bamboo pipe are pulled out, the water begins to flow out, and I didn't see the mud in the basin when I took a basin, so the two took the basin away.
This time, the water flowed for a while before no water came out again, and the brother and sister were satisfied and stuffed the sticks back again.
"Now it's okay, I don't have to fetch water anymore."
Xin'er said to Youyi with satisfaction.
"Well, thanks to my sister."
"Hey, hey."
Xin'er laughed a little embarrassed and a little proud.
"By the way, brother, did they say anything when you sent something?"
Xin'er mainly wanted to ask if the Feng family had said anything, but he didn't make it clear.
"I didn't say anything, I gave the Feng family to the Feng family's cook, and I left after giving the things, as for the grandfather, they said let us keep it for ourselves to eat, we don't need to take it for them, they will dig it if they want to eat."
"Oh."
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, just ask, Grandpa, they are so good to us, no matter what they say, we still have to send them something in the future."
"Of course."
