Chapter 13: The Red-Eyed Man

Yue Fu glared at Wang Mancang until his frightened sweat began to drip down before he spoke: "Wenhai, you are back." ”

"Daddy!!" Yue Wenhai reluctantly took back the shovel.

Wang Mancang was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, Yue Fu snorted coldly, picked up his iron pickaxe and put it on Wang Mancang's shoulder: "If I didn't look at the face of your two daughters, I should really give you some blood." Wang Mancang, let me tell you, if the news of my niece's wild ducks spreads, or I find out that you dare to enter this yard, my second son's shovel will not be long-sighted!! ”

"Yes, yes, yes," Wang Mancang nodded like pounding garlic

"Get out!!" Yue Fu shouted angrily

"Yes, yes......" Wang Mancang cautiously moved out from under his iron pickaxe, and ran out of the courtyard with a stream of urine, fleeing for his life.

"Yang'er, are you okay?" It wasn't until Wang Mancang ran away that Yue Fu let out a breath and turned to star fruit: "Does he often come and wander around?" How many times has this been? Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"This is the first time. We didn't expect him to mess around. Carambola was a little worried: "Uncle, the matter of the wild duck ......" The uncle's family knows about this. I thought that the sisters didn't say anything about it, and the uncle's family wouldn't say anything more, so how could this matter be covered for a while. Who would have thought that just after selling for a few dollars, it attracted people with red eyes to the door. It's really what the old people say, good things can't be hidden, not overnight.

"Don't worry, Wang Mancang is a coward, your uncle scares him so much, how dare he mess around?" Zhao Lan gently took the walnuts and cherries: "Are you scared?" ”

"Nope." Walnut and Cherry both shook their heads. Cherry secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to the uncle's family being honest and protective of their niece, if they didn't ask, the sisters would not be able to survive.

Although he won't say much, it's hard to cover up after all. Yang'er, if there is anything else, hurry up and call the uncle over. In the past few days, Wenhe and Wenhai have taken turns to go to the ground, and there is always someone left at home. Yue Fu handed the iron pickaxe in his hand to Wen He beside him, and walked to the cherry and walnut: "These two are still young, don't be scared." Your family has been a disaster-prone year, and it's always right to be careful. ”

"Yes, my father is right" Wen Hai picked up the shovel and carried it on his shoulder, and looked violently in the direction where Wang Mancang ran away just now: "Sisters, with your brother here, no one wants to fight any crooked ideas." ”

"Alright, alright, you can bear it." Zhao Lan glared at Wen Hai with a smile, and said to the star fruit: "Okay, it's okay." After that, you can comfort your younger sisters. ”

"Hey." Star fruit nodded.

"There's still a fire burning in my house, are you having a hot meal? If it's not hot, go to your mother's house to eat something? Zhao Lan let it again.

"No, no, the meal is ready, and we will eat it when the cotton peach comes back." Auntie, go back and eat, thanks to you today. Star fruit waved his hand hurriedly.

"You kid, just tell me if you have something." Zhao Lan turned around with a smile, waved at the five sisters, and walked out of the courtyard. Yue Fu and Wenhe Wenhai brothers also followed one after another.

"Yang'er, if you have this matter again, just tell the second brother directly. Besides, if Liu Erzhu at the head of the village dares to laugh at you again, I will go up and beat this stupid girl!! Wen Hai walked up to the star fruit and raised his fist.

Carambola covered her mouth and smiled: "It's okay." When did Liu Erzhu smile at me? Don't talk nonsense. Alright, you can go back quickly. ”

"Then I'm leaving." Wen Hai turned around, grimaced at the cherries and walnuts again, and trotted to follow.

"Let's go, let's go back to the house." Carambola saw the uncle's family enter his yard, so he beckoned a few sisters into the house. She was a little worried: "I'm afraid our yard will have to be repaired, it's too unsafe for all female dolls." Also, the wild duck thing Wang Mancang can meet, maybe Ming'er can ask others to meet, I think we can't make money with this money. You can't do anything long-term, you can only make a day at a time. ”

Cherry scooped a bowl of hot water from the stove and handed it over: "Sister, this thing is not so bad. Even if the people in the village know about our sale of wild ducks, as long as we cover it well, they won't be able to learn that method. At least it won't be learned immediately, and no one dares to enter the courtyard to grab it. "The eldest sister was frightened by Wang Mancang's barbarism.

"Put him a bear man, I'm not ready today, who will dare to be like Wang Mancang next time, I have to chop him!!" Mi Tao gritted her teeth viciously: "We have to prepare a few more sticks in the yard, I will inlay them all with bamboo chips, and see who dares to mess around!" After a pause, he said, "I'll start preparing tomorrow!" ”

"What's going on?" As soon as Mian Tao entered the door, the atmosphere in the room was startled.

Cherry carefully told Mian Tao about the scene that had just happened, and said again that star fruit was going to repair the yard. In her opinion, when the family has made money, as long as the problem of food and clothing is solved, it is best to repair the yard first. After all, a yard full of female dolls is still very dangerous in this rural village full of singles.

Mian Tao comforted the sisters, took out the meat she bought and handed it to Mi Tao, and said, "This is a pound of meat, we can eat it for several days." Don't think about it yet, let's get some food. ”

"Okay." Mi Tao took the meat and went to the hall with the two cotton peaches.

"Eldest sister" cherry grabbed the hand of star fruit: "Anyway, we can't finish this meat for a while and a half, why don't we cut half of it and send it to the uncle's family?" It is estimated that his family hasn't had an oil star for a long time. Besides, in the days when our family was out of food, it was still the uncle's family who received help. "Even if the uncle's family is not greedy for cheapness, it is good to send something once in a while, which will make people feel comfortable and can be a good way to connect feelings. The five sisters now have a lot of places to rely on the uncle's family.

"Okay." Carambola didn't think about it, nodded and said, "Tell your second sister to cut off half of it and put it in another place, and I'll send it when I'm done eating." ”

"Hey!" Cherry happily went down to the kang, as long as she had a good relationship with the uncle's family, no one would dare to bully their five orphans. With her as a modern person and the business experience of the third sister, how can she not live a good life?

After eating and delivering meat, the sisters rushed to the reed beach while there was no one outside at noon. He waited there for a while before he threw something on the surface of the water to attract wild ducks. After tossing for an hour, he finally caught three wild ducks, tied them with ropes, put them in a bamboo basket, and then picked them home, trying not to let people see them.

In the evening, Mi Tao cut half a catty of pork into thick slices, fried them with chopped green onions and salt over high heat, and the sisters each had five slices, and there were three slices left, so that the star fruit was put away.

Star fruit looked at a few pieces of meat in her bowl, and sent them to the bowl for a few sisters one by one, and after all of them were returned, she picked up a piece of meat, and carefully bit it in small bites.

Mi Tao finished eating the meat in the bowl two or three times, and wiped his mouth: "Eat a meal, don't push around." I don't eat yours, and you don't want to eat mine, how neat, how crisp? This stuff doesn't taste good when it's cold. ”

Put a piece of meat in her mouth with a cotton peach clip, and smile: "Second sister, look at you, this is the first time to fry meat, the heat is a little big!" ”

Mi Tao glared at her: "When I see you, you are eating meat for the first time, this heat is just right, where is it?" ”

Cherry was silent, savoring her slices of meat. This is the first pork she has eaten since she crossed here, it is really fragrant, and it is much better than duck meat after all. She hadn't eaten meat for a month, but it was as if she hadn't touched it in a year.

Walnut was reluctant to eat the meat slices, so after eating all the green onions and oil stars in her bowl, she licked and cleaned them, and then licked the lard on the meat slices with the tip of her tongue. Lick the lard and take a bite of the nest, and sigh with satisfaction while eating: "It's so fragrant!" ”

After the five sisters finished eating the meat slices, the star fruit and the cotton peach sat on the kang in the east house and talked in a whisper, discussing the matter of the courtyard wall. Mi Tao is busy washing dishes and chopsticks.

Cherry hid in the Westinghouse, watching the wounds on her hands as the moonlight filtered through the window paper.

The injuries on the hands are not serious and do not affect the work. It's just that the wound on the face has a shallow scar, which affects the appearance to some extent.

I heard Erni say that at that time, their family ate cold rice in the morning, and there was no fire on the stove at all. After her father and mother left, she was left with herself and her two in the house, but how did the fire start?

"Fourth Sister !!" Just as he was thinking, there was a low-pitched call from the door.

"Walnuts? What's the matter? "This little thing, what kind of mystery is there

"Hehe, give you a good thing" Walnut grinned and climbed onto the kang, took out a leaf from behind him, opened it, and wrapped a piece of meat in it, making the whole leaf full of oil. She generously handed the leaves forward: "No, I'll leave it for you." ”

"Why don't you eat it?" The meat on the leaves is probably the thickest in the plate of meat fried by the second sister. Cherry's nose was sour: "You...... I don't want to eat it, I don't know how many times I want you to lick it. ”

"I left it for you, I didn't lick it!!" Walnut was a little anxious: "I really didn't lick it, you see, or there is oil on the leaves?" ”

"I won't eat that." How could she be willing to eat? When she had just eaten, she watched walnuts lick a bite of meat, eat a mouthful of wotou, and eat sweetly.

"Good fourth sister, you are obedient." Walnut coaxed people, she patiently gently teased Cherry's cheeks, very seriously: "Look, you have scars on your face, you need to eat more meat to take care of the scars." Fourth sister, our mother said that this female doll can't have a scar on her face, otherwise she won't be able to get married!! ”

"You little thing, do you know what it means to marry and what is a mother-in-law?" Really, her eyes were wet......

Seeing that the cherry was like this, Walnut panicked, clapped her little hands and comforted: "Fourth sister, don't cry, oops, don't cry." If you listen to me, if you eat meat, you won't have scars, and you will definitely be able to get married. Don't worry, if you really can't get married, I'll take you to my in-law's house, and I'll raise you. ”

"I think you're deliberately trying to provoke me...... can't help it anymore, Cherry stretched out her sleeve to wipe her tears, and took the leaves in Walnut's hand: "I'll eat, can't I eat?" As he spoke, he ate the slices of meat on top and choked and swallowed.

"Hehe, if you eat meat, you'll be fine." Walnut smiled and licked the lard from the leaves.

"You......" Cherry was about to say something more when there was a "creaking" sound in the dark night sky outside. It was the sound of the poor unlocked fence door being opened.

Then, there were the footsteps of several sisters, as well as the voice of star fruit: "Third aunt? Why are you here? ”
