3 Silly brother
Back in the small kitchen with the buns, the pot was emitting a fresh smell of food. Ye Jingqing was overjoyed to uncover the pot, didn't care about the hot hands, and scooped up the cooked kudzu.
The saliva is almost coming down, there is wood!
Kudzu has a faint sweetness when cooked, and the texture is similar to that of a yam, making it an absolute delicacy for those who are hungry.
Inevitably having extraneous branches, Ye Jingqing quickly disposed of the water in the pot and hid in his and Su's hut with food.
The small courtyard has limited rooms, and she, her mother, and Ye Zhifeng can only squeeze into one room, so it saves some right and wrong, and they don't sleep peacefully.
At this time, Su Shi was coaxing Ye Zhifeng to drink water, trying to relieve his hunger. Watching the children starving, she couldn't stop feeling guilty.
"It's useless to be a mother......"
Ye Jingqing shook his head and sighed lightly, stepped into the house and closed the door, and said, "Have you ever thought about leaving here?" ”
"Qingqing?" Su Shi looked at her in surprise, he didn't expect to hear such a sentence.
Giving them half of the cooked kudzu in his hand, Ye Jingqing instructed: "This is the food I found, don't make a noise about it." ”
Food? Su Shi stretched out his hand to take it in disbelief, "Can this tree root be eaten?" ”
Putting the other half of the peeled skin in the hands of Ye Zhifeng, who was in a daze, he smirked at Ye Jingqing, and then devoured it.
It's not stupid, it's very well-behaved to know gratitude...... Ye Jingqing touched his head, and then proposed to the Su family: "Mother, let's leave here with my brother." ”
"Don't say stupid things, Jingqing." Su Shi stuffed the peeled kudzu back into her hand, shook her head and said, "Mother is not afraid of hard work, and I don't feel wronged, I just want to pull you up." ”
Ye Jingqing pursed her lips, of course she knew the Su family's scruples, two weak children, one stupid and one disfigured, what to feed them with?
"Then we shouldn't go along with it." Ye Jingqing took out the three buns in his arms, divided them with them, and said, "Mother, you can eat it too." ”
Su Shi looked frightened, and quickly grabbed her shoulders and asked, "Where did this bun come from?" ”
"I took it from the old lady." Ye Jingqing understated.
"How could they ......?"
"Mother, we just don't have enough skin to be bullied." Ye Jingqing smiled, "Let's eat steamed buns." ”
Wild vegetable and egg stuffed buns, one bite down, fresh and fragrant, the mother has not eaten this for a long time, with a large kudzu root, the stomach has a sense of fullness after a long time.
In the following days, the old lady was no longer allowed to eat or the like, but her workload increased greatly. Ye Jingqing's seven-year-old body is busy coming and going, and she is really tired enough at the end of the day.
On this day, the eldest lord Ye Jiashun and the second lord Ye Jiayu came back from the town and brought back the monthly money of the two.
The courtyard was full of eyebrows and smiles, among which the old lady was the happiest, their Ye family stabilized their foothold and lived, and one day, they will make a comeback!
At lunchtime, two large plates of chicken rarely appeared on the table, which was really tempting for people who had been vegetarian for more than half a year.
Everyone was silently drooling over the meat, even the old lady was no exception, and the three-year-old Ye Zhige even stayed on the table and didn't leave.
The old lady suddenly commanded Su Shi: "The sun is big at noon, you go to the field to put water, don't die of thirst for the crops." ”
Su Shi was slightly stunned and replied, "Old lady, it is not appropriate to water plants at noon. ”
"Who said that?" The old woman glared at her eyes and said, "If you are told to go, why is there so much nonsense?" ”
Draining water at noon? Ye Jingqing raised her eyebrows, seeing that the meal was about to start, the old lady wanted to break people away?
He said: "My mother has been taking care of the fields for a long time, and there are also some pointers from the surrounding neighbors, so I naturally know better." ”
"How can I sound like I'm asking for credit?" Aunt Tao secretly glanced at Ye Jiayu and snorted: "Don't say it, it seems that your mother knows how to work, people want to eat, and the crops naturally have to drink water." ”
"That's right." Dushi said slowly.
Du Shi and Aunt Tao are also human spirits, of course they understand the relationship, there are only two plates of chicken, and more than a dozen people will see the bottom with one chopstick each, and it is good to have one less person to share the food.
Asking for credit? Ye Jingqing was simply drunk, not to mention that those jobs were originally done by the Su family, just say that the family is not the second master is an old lady, how can the claim of inviting merit be established?
Ye Jiayu listened to what they said, and said: "Okay, if there is still work in the field, go get it first, don't be crooked here." ”
At this point, the Su family had to get up and go out, Ye Jingqing was really angry, and as soon as there was something delicious, he would break people apart, this group of dead girls!
After a while, the old lady announced that the meal had begun, but when she was about to sit down, the problem came: the table itself was small, and now two big men could not sit down.
This is not difficult to do, the old lady waved her hand, and Ye Zhifeng, Ye Jingqing, and Ye Furong stood and ate. The former said that he was stupid and was not allowed to make trouble at the table, Ye Jingqing and the two were the youngest and had no choice, and Ye Zhige was held in Du Shi's arms.
After eating, everyone was fast, and the table was even more undercurrent, for example, Ye Zhifeng didn't know how to come forward to pick up vegetables, and Ye Jingqing was always deliberately blocked and couldn't catch vegetables......
This is a battlefield without gunpowder. In the end, Su Shi hadn't come back yet, and the leftovers on the table were cold, and there was no slag in sight, only vegetable soup left.
"Every time I eat, I let my mother work, what does she eat?" Caught off guard, Ye Jingqing asked directly.
The few people who were picking their teeth made a move, and the old lady glared at her with raised eyebrows: "Don't talk nonsense, little scourge!" ”
Ye Zhihe frowned and shook his head: "I haven't shouted at the elders all day long, what kind of system has it become!" ”
His father Ye Jiashun waved his hand to stop him from continuing to speak, got up and said: "I can see it, the family has been arguing all day long over trivial things, Zhihe, you are the eldest son, you have to persuade everything." ”
Ye Zhihe followed and got up and responded, "Yes, Daddy." ”
"Come with me."
The two got up and left the hall, and Du Shi hugged Ye Zhige and followed.
The people in the big house were gone, Ye Jiayu stretched his waist and said, "Tao Yun, go to your house, I want to sleep for a while." "Completely ignore his wife, who hasn't eaten yet.
"Great!" Aunt Tao smiled, and led Ye Furong to face him and whispered and laughed.
The old lady naturally wanted to take a nap, glanced at the plates and bowls on the dining table, and instructed Ye Jingqing: "Go back and let your mother clean up." ”
Ye Jingqing smiled: "How can such a small thing be as important as the crops, I'll go to the field to help release the water, and the old lady will find someone else to clean it up!" ”
If you don't have anything to eat, you have to wash the dishes, and there is nothing wrong with your head! Ye Jingqing ignored her when he put down his words, pulled Ye Zhifeng, who was gnawing on chicken bones, and took him to the well to wash his hands.
"Later, you will sleep in the house obediently, don't run around, you know?" Ye Jingqing wiped his dark and emaciated face with a towel cloth.
After settling Ye Zhihe, she hurriedly ran to the field to look for the Su family, and today's lunch had to be solved by herself......
Su Shi is very popular, and her daughter-in-law has been tempered for so many years, she is not worried about herself, she is only afraid that her children will starve.
There was nothing to eat when she went back, Ye Jingqing could only dig kudzu to satisfy her hunger, and the two talked for a while in the shade of the tree.
After finishing, Ye Jingqing walked around Tianxin Village twice and returned to the courtyard first, and when he entered the door, he saw Ye Zhige riding on Ye Zhifeng, playing the game of pony running.
"Drive! Why is it so slow, hurry up and run! The little fat man Ye Zhige shouted dissatisfiedly.
The three-year-old child said that it was not big, how could it be twenty or thirty pounds, Ye Zhifeng knelt on all fours and crawled on the ground, moving forward slowly.
Ye Jingqing frowned, stepped forward to stop them: "Stop me!" ”
Suddenly there was an obstructor, Ye Zhige looked up and pouted: "Strange monster go away, I don't want to see you." ”
"Wow!"
Ye Zhifeng suddenly opened his mouth towards Ye Jingqing to learn how to bark as a dog, and he seemed to greet with a smile.
"Haha!" Ye Zhige giggled happily, pointed his little finger ahead, and said, "Wangcai, you are allowed to eat grass now." ”
Obviously, this is not the first time to play this game, Ye Jingqing watched in surprise as Ye Zhifeng obediently crawled over, opened his mouth to bite a handful of weeds in the yard, and chewed there to swallow in his stomach!
That's how they play games on weekdays?
I really couldn't look down on the stupid Ye Zhifeng as a mount, Ye Jingqing stepped forward with a straight face, and stretched out his hand to overthrow Ye Zhige.
The little fat man with whirring flesh rolled down and fell into a ball with Ye Zhifeng below.
Ye Zhige was stunned, and then his mouth was deflated and he cried: "Wow, ah, ah!" ”
Such a height didn't hurt him at all, if it weren't for his young age, Ye Jingqing would have started to teach him a lesson. With anger in his heart, he grabbed Ye Zhifeng and checked his palms and knees.
In this era, there was no cement floor, and there were many small stones in the yard, and the palms of the stressed palms were pressed unevenly, full of red marks, and it hurt to look at them.
There was even blood on his knees, and looking at the green juice on the side of his mouth, Ye Jingqing's heart was full of unbearable, the bear child was really too much.
On weekdays, she and Su didn't have so much time to look at Ye Zhifeng, maybe how they would be bullied by these people!
No wonder the last time I saw him, he always behaved like a dog......
Ye Zhige's cry quickly attracted the others, and Du Shi was the first to run over and ask in a stacked voice, "What's wrong?" What's the matter, this is! ”
"Mother's ......"
Ye Zhige lay on the ground, seeing his mother's tears flowing even more fiercely, he accused: "Blame the monster pushed me ......"
"Blame push me!"
Du Shi picked him up with one hand, looked left and right uneasily, and found that his elbows were red, and he immediately turned his head with a fierce look: "What did you do to my son!" ”
At this time, the old lady was also awakened by the cry, and heard this sentence from a distance on crutches, and quickly stepped forward without saying a word and beat it down with a stick: "What kind of demon is the little scourge doing?" ”
"Shhh
Ye Jingqing was cold, took two steps back, and glared at her angrily: "Are you blind?" ”
"Woooooooooo......oo Blame push me! Blame push me! ”
Ye Zhige began to roll and splash, and his howls were extremely loud.
Listening to the cry of her little grandson, the old lady felt a pain in her heart and liver, and raised her stick through gritted teeth, hoping to kill this eye-catching thing.
