Chapter 17 Daddy Loves Mother
Yu Xiaocao glared at him: "Brother, you are stupid!" Why do you want grandma to know? Can't we learn from the eldest aunt and eat secretly? ”
Their eldest aunt, the Li family, never came back empty-handed every time she went back to her parents' house, and the delicious food she brought was always secretly hidden in the east house, and she secretly ate it with her son when no one was around.
Yu Xiaocao asked the bun seller to wrap ten buns in oiled paper and stuff them into a broken crockpot. When the crockpot came, it was covered with rags for fear of being seen inside, and it is the same now.
The two came to the city gate and saw that Ma Dafu was already waiting there. The aunt who sells vegetables has empty baskets and a happy face.
"Little sand, little grass! Hurry up, I'm waiting for you! Ma Dafu stood up and greeted the brother and sister.
"What about the aunt who sells eggs? Haven't come back yet? Yu Xiaocao jumped on the donkey cart and asked casually.
The aunt who sold vegetables smiled and said, "She, the eggs have already been sold, let me bring her the basket back, and she will go first!" Xiaocao, what do you have in this jar? I don't think the amount has been reduced! ”
Yu Xiaocao sighed, and said with a sad face: "Inside is the sauce that my mother dried, originally to see if I could sell some copper plates to buy a few catties of coarse grains to go back, who knew that I didn't sell a penny, and I also pasted the car money of four copper plates!" ”
As soon as she heard that it was dried soybean paste, the aunt said a few words of comfort with little interest, and leaned on the board car to pretend to sleep.
Yu Hang couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he watched his little sister running with her mouth full of horses. Who did the little sister learn from, and the lie will come when she opens her mouth? No, I must remind my mother when I go back, teach her well, don't be crooked.
When the brother and sister returned to the entrance of the village, they saw a tall and familiar figure, anxiously waiting by the side of the path.
"Daddy? Daddy - we're back!! Yu Xiaocao held the crockpot and stumbled towards Yu Hai.
Yu Hai put down the prey in his hand, greeted him, hugged the little girl who rushed over, and taught his son with a straight face: "You are quite bold, ah?" Take my sister to town quietly. Look at what you can!! The two children are not accompanied by adults, what if they meet the flowers? ”
When he turned to his little daughter, his voice was much softer: "Cao'er, I want to go to the town in the future and tell my father, and my father will take you there." It's past dinner, are you hungry? Dad left you a three-way noodle steamed bun, and it's still hot. Eat it! ”
Get! Proper preference for women over men, daughter slave one!
Yu Xiaocao, who was picked up by his father with a shy expression, twisted his body to get down, and only said after his feet touched the ground:
"My brother and I ate in the town, and we ate two big meat buns, so full! Dad, I also bought you buns, take them with you on the road! ”
Yu Xiaocao is very clear about her grandmother's character of slamming the door, and if her father saves the steamed buns, she must be hungry. Go up to the mountains early in the morning to hunt, and then go to the town to deliver prey, how can you do it with an empty stomach?
Stuffing three large meat buns to Dad, Yu Xiaocao looked at the bloody prey on the ground, and his heart suddenly moved: "Dad, I want to eat roast pheasant, can you keep one of this prey for me?" ”
Yu Hai had only harvested a few small prey today: two pheasants, three hares, and two fat wild birds that I didn't know what they were called.
Yu Hang pulled her sleeve and whispered, "Today's prey hunted by Dad has passed Grandma. She knows how much money she can sell! If she had brought back less money, she would have made a fuss again. Didn't we eat meat buns today? Let's eat pheasant meat later! ”
Yu Hai's expression was still smiling, and he said, "It's no problem to leave you a pheasant!" But your brother is right about one thing, Cao'er you have just recovered from a serious illness, and your stomach is still weak, so you can't eat roast pheasant. In a few days, you will be fully well, and Dad will definitely leave you a fat pheasant to eat as you like! ”
Although Yu Xiaocao thinks that her body is already great, she can't stand the disbelief of the people who care about her at home! It seems that it will take time to prove it!!
Next, the two ran around the village to find out the whereabouts of the mother and Xiaolian. The mother washed the sheets by the stream, and Xiaolian took the small stone to pick up firewood at the foot of the West Mountain.
The foot of the West Mountain is sparsely populated, and it is a good place to sit on the ground and share the spoils - cough cough, subcontractor. The brother and sister went their separate ways, and Yu Hang went to the stream to call Liu; Xiaocao went to Xishan with a crockpot filled with buns.
"Mother! Mother! Little sister she ...... Let's go check it out! There were a lot of women washing clothes by the stream, Yu Hang didn't dare to say it directly, and this honest boy didn't know how to make up nonsense, so he had to say half a sentence and leave half a sentence.
When Liu heard this, he hurriedly stood up, and the sheet in his hand fell into the stream and almost went with the waves.
Seeing this, Yu Hang was very guilty, and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't worry! Little sister is fine! ”
"You're not a doctor, how can you assert that your little sister is fine? No, I'll have to take a look! Aunt Fukuda, you help me look at the sheets, if I come back late, please help me bring it back. Liu Duyun wiped his hands dry, hurriedly followed his son, and headed towards the west mountain.
"Alas...... It must be that Xiaocao is sick again! The daughter-in-law of the sea is also a hard-working ......" The woman who washes clothes by the stream seems to be accustomed to Liu's leaving without finishing her laundry. Every time, eight or nine times out of ten it's because of her medicine jar daughter.
Yu Xiaocao's search for Xiaolian and Shi was not so smooth. The West Mountain is so big, there are more places to collect firewood. Fortunately, Xiaolian's sister and brother were small and did not dare to go to the mountain, so they only lingered at the foot of the mountain. Although it took some effort, it was also found by Xiaocao.
"Oops! I'm so tired, you two can make me look for it for a while!! Seeing Xiaolian and them, Xiaocao collapsed on the grass and was so tired that she beat her legs. This small body really needs to be exercised, and it can't hold on to how far it goes.
Liu, who came with his son, saw it from a distance, and anxiously trotted all the way over, took Yu Xiaocao into his arms, and asked repeatedly: "Cao'er, where is it uncomfortable?" Mother will take you home...... Xiaosha, go and ask Dr. You. ”
Yu Hang didn't move, but asked with concern: "Little sister, are you really uncomfortable?" ”
"What's really uncomfortable? Is there still a fake?? Hurry up and get a doctor!! Liu Duyun bent down to pick up her little daughter.
Seeing that Liu's face turned white in a hurry, Yu Xiaocao hurriedly got up, jumped twice on the spot to show Liu, and said, "Mother, I'm fine!" Who told you I was uncomfortable, I'll help you hit him!! Brother, did you scare your mother? ”
"No discomfort?" Liu Shi looked his daughter up and down carefully, and saw that it really didn't look like she was sick, so she scolded her son with confidence, "Then what did you call me to come over?" What's the mess up with? I haven't washed my sheets yet! ”
Yu Xiaocao hurriedly helped his brother out of the siege: "Mother, didn't we go to the town today?" I bought a few meat buns, how about you taste them? ”
