Chapter 130: Full Moon Laughter
On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is fine and the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
Lian Qingshan's family put dinner in the courtyard, and the family of four sat at the round table, which was full of dishes carefully prepared by Cui'er, as well as mooncakes that have now become the favorite of the big girl and the little tiger.
"Come, let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival today, eat and drink more!" Lian Qingshan held the wine glass in his hand, Cui'er and the eldest girl Xiaohu held the juice that Cui'er squeezed out of watermelon in their hands, and the family of four touched the cup with a little trouble, drank a sip each, and began to eat.
The watermelon juice is sweet and delicious, on this full moon night, the evening breeze gently caresses her cheeks, Cui'er only feels very comfortable, lifts the chopsticks to the big girl and Xiaohu to clip some vegetables, and fills Lian Qingshan's wine glass with wine, Cui'er pinched a piece of moon cake and took a bite.
"Mother, are the mooncakes delicious?" Xiaohu watched Cui'er eat moon cakes with a satisfied face, and her big eyes blinked.
"It's delicious, doesn't Xiaohu like it?" Cui'er looked at Xiaohu with an expectant and very innocent expression, and didn't understand Xiaohu's purpose for asking for a while, she looked at Xiaohu with a little joy and a helpless expression on her face through the light, and she was a little confused for a while.
"The mooncakes eaten by my mother are made by Xiaohu!" Xiaohu looked at Cui'er expectantly, waiting for her praise, but seeing that Cui'er didn't react at all, she couldn't help pouting slightly, and said with some grievances.
"This moon cake turned out to be made by Xiaohu, I said why is it so delicious, our Xiaohu can help his mother work at such a young age, it's amazing!" When Cui'er heard this, she suddenly realized that Xiaohu was begging for praise, so she quickly touched his head and praised him seriously, in order to make the praise more powerful, Cui'er hurriedly put a chicken leg in the bowl for Xiaohu.
"Hehe......" Xiaohu got the praise he wanted, pursed his little mouth and smiled happily, buried his head and gnawed on the chicken legs.
Cui'er looked at Xiaohu happily. picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the other chicken leg into the big girl's bowl, "The big girl is also working hard, help my mother feed the chickens and pigs and clean the house, come." Eat a chicken leg to make up for it! ”
After Cui'er gave the chicken leg to the big girl, she picked a piece of good meat and gave it to Lian Qingshan, watching him stuff the meat into his mouth without saying a word, and then looking at herself with a gentle face, Cui'er only felt that the soft head in her heart could drip water.
The big girl held the bowl and looked at the chicken leg in it and smiled happily, and then to Cui'er's surprise, she actually gave the chicken leg to Cui'er again, "Mother also eats, there is a little brother in my mother's belly, I have to make up for it." ”
Cui'er looked at the chicken legs in the bowl. Looking at the big girl with slightly shining eyes, Cui'er knew that the impression in the girl's heart that her mother would die if she gave birth to a child had not faded, she stretched out her hand and touched the big girl's head, "The mother will give birth to the baby in the belly." Whether it's a younger brother or a younger sister, the big girl, the older sister, you have to take good care of them! ”
"That's for sure, when my brother is born, I will grow taller and stronger, and I will definitely be able to hold him." The big girl listened to Cui'er's words. nodded seriously, as if she was afraid that Cui'er wouldn't believe it, she took a big bite of rice into her mouth, and her cheeks were rounded.
"Cui'er, thank you for your hard work!" Lian Qingshan watched the family sit happily together, and his heart was indescribably satisfied. Cui'er came to this home in less than half a year. But there have been earth-shaking changes in my own family.
At the beginning of spring, Lian Qingshan was lying on the kang because of a leg injury, and there was no way to get off the ground, and the big girl and the little tiger were small and couldn't cook. The family of three could only wait for the Dong family to deliver food every day, but no one burned the kang for them. Enduring the double torture of illness and hunger, the two children of Da Niu and Xiaohu did not eat well and did not dress warmly, and they were also frightened by Lian Qingshan's injury and suffered a lot.
At that time, even Qingshan felt that he would not be able to survive, but if he didn't survive, the two children would die in a long time.
For the sake of the two children, they can only stand up, looking at the two children, especially Xiaohu, there is so little food to eat, Xiaohu is thin and small like a kitten, he can't speak, he can't walk, he lies on the kang every day and doesn't say anything, only looks at the roof with big black eyes, and even Qingshan has to worry about whether Xiaohu will die like this every day.
Lian Qingshan thought of this, drank all the wine in the wine glass in his hand, and turned his head to look at the little tiger who was burying his head and nibbling on the chicken legs, the round apple-like little face and white and chubby little hands, compared with before, you can see how much the little tiger has grown for so long.
Even Qingshan looked at the big girl who was talking and laughing with Cui'er, and there was a burst of excitement in his heart, when he was sick in bed, although the big girl was able to walk around on the ground, but she couldn't do any housework, and she was scared when she was a child.
And now the big girl, every day happily with Cui'er to work, although the work is still very unskilled, but also Cui'er has some appearance, like this, when the girl grows up to the age of being able to marry, it must be a job outside the family, even if he can't send them back to the general's mansion at that time, it will not be a problem for the girl to find a good family to marry.
Even Qingshan thought of this, he only felt very interested, stretched out his chopsticks and took a sip of food, took another sip of wine, and looked at the full moon hanging in the sky, his mood was very open.
Although Cui'er felt that Lian Qingshan's mood was a little complicated, she didn't care about him when she saw that he was not in a low mood, and gave him some food from time to time, so she spent most of her mind on taking care of the child.
"Big girl, little tiger, do you know that the moon in the sky actually has a legend?" Cui'er watched the children eat and drink and quickly get full, but they were very excited and didn't know what to do, so she remembered the story of Chang'e running to the moon.
"What is a legend?" Xiaohu asked with a very innocent expression with his big eyes flashing.
"What kind of legend, is there a fairy in the sky?" The eldest girl listened to Cui'er's words, and became curious, took Cui'er's hand and asked excitedly, and then imagined a picture of a fairy with a fluttering dress in her mind.
"Whether there are fairies in the sky, my mother doesn't know, but from a long time ago, there is a legend that there is a person named Hou Yi......" Cui'er saw that the two children were a little interested, and slowly told the story of Hou Yi and Chang'e.
Cui'er's voice was crisp and beautiful, and in this full moon night, she seemed to be afraid of disturbing the people in the sky. lowered slightly, such a voice sounded in Lian Qingshan's ears, as if it was a fairy music in the sky, and it was intoxicating.
And the big girl and the little tiger listened to Cui'er tell the story. Flashing with big eyes, I listened carefully, and I forgot to eat food such as fruits or moon cakes in my hands, and I was very fascinated.
"Mother, you said that Hou Yi can shoot arrows into the sky at once? That's not as good as Daddy! Xiaohu's eyes widened in surprise when he heard the part where Hou Yi shot the sun, and then said a sentence that almost made Lian Qingshan choke on wine.
Lian Qingshan coughed twice and looked at his little son, his round little face full of admiration. Let Lian Qingshan be proud and weak-hearted, proud that Xiaohu actually thinks that he is the most powerful, and the reason for his weakness is that he can use a bow and arrow to hunt an enemy, and he wants to shoot the sun. That's a fantasy.
Cui'er saw Lian Qingshan's coughing appearance, where did she not know his thoughts, children's worship of their parents is innate, Cui'er didn't want to make Xiaohu's worship of Lian Qingshan less because of this incident, so she stretched out her hand and touched Xiaohu's face and said, "Daddy is naturally the most powerful, otherwise how can Daddy fight wolves and bad guys to protect a few of us, isn't it?" ”
Cui'er was afraid that Xiaohu would make Lian Qingshan show his strength. He also went to shoot the sun down, and added, "But yes, although Daddy is powerful, we can't shoot the sun down." When Hou Yi shot down the sun, it was because there were ten suns in the sky. Ten suns were too hot, too bright, and the crops on the ground were not growing, so they had to shoot down. And now we have only one sun in the sky, if there is no sun. The vegetables in the yard won't be able to grow, and we won't be able to see the bright day! ”
Xiaohu listened to Cui'er's words, and then put away his thoughts about letting his father shoot the sun again, and thought about it, if there was no sun, he wouldn't be able to see so many fun things in the daytime, and he wouldn't be able to eat delicious moon cakes...... Xiaohu lowered his head and thought for a while, it was better to let the sun stay in the sky.
Cui'er finally passed this paragraph, watching Xiaohu bury his head in eating moon cakes, and was hesitating whether to continue, so she was pulled by the big girl and continued to talk. Cui'er nodded, took a sip of watermelon juice, and continued to talk, which made the big girl and Xiaohu amazed, and even Qingshan temporarily put down the wine glass and quietly listened to Cui'er's story.
"Mother, you are so powerful, how do you know the story of so long ago?" After listening to Chang'e's story, the girl couldn't calm down for a long time, and her eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Cui'er.
"My mother knows this story because my mother knows how to read, and if she knows how to read, she can read books, and she can know a lot of things that others don't know." Cui'er said with a smile, not letting go of this opportunity to stimulate children's interest in learning.
"Literacy?" The big girl listened to Cui'er's words, and sure enough, she was yearning, "Mother, can I read and write?" ”
"Of course you can, tomorrow my mother will teach you to read and write, okay?" Cui'er made a victory gesture in her heart, and there is a good way to let the little pot friend take the initiative to learn.
"Mother, I want it too, I want it too!" Xiaohu was not to be left behind, and chased after Cui'er and said.
"Okay, Xiaohu also learns, Daddy teaches Xiaohu martial arts, Mother teaches Xiaohu to read and write, and Xiaohu will be able to be a general with all-round talents in civil and military affairs in the future!" Cui'er stretched out her hand and touched Xiaohu's head and said.
"Be a general!" Xiaohu smiled so much that his eyes were full of crescents, waving his little hands and cheering, and his funny appearance made Qingshan and Cui'er laugh.
Under the moonlit night, in this wild mountain courtyard, a family of four sat happily together, laughing and laughing.
