【048】Revenge
Find a sweet potato field, although a small piece, not a lot, but enough for myself and my sister to dig, and today is not out to dig sweet potatoes, but their goal is sweet potato seeds, thinking about using the convenience of space to cultivate a batch of sweet potato seedlings, to see if they can be planted in their own backyard next year.
The villagers knew that this thing was called sweet potato, which was not only edible, but also sweet, and they dug in the mountains as if they were crazy, but whenever they saw it, they started it.
The village chief looked at them who had fallen into madness, sighed and shook his head, these people are hungry and afraid, they will be so crazy, all because the bud valley has reduced production this year, and there is nothing left in the bud valley except for paying taxes.
Yuqi's small body walked in the crowd, looking through the sweet potatoes they dug out one by one, and when they saw what they liked, they exchanged their sweet potatoes with them, and the villagers saw that Yuqi was a child, so they didn't care, it didn't matter if they gave one and a half, let alone exchange, the villagers happily agreed.
The village chief saw her swaying around in the crowd with her waist bent, and wondered why she didn't dig sweet potatoes, so he called her out, led her aside, and asked her, "Yuqi girl, if you don't dig with them, what are you picking up sweet potatoes for there?"
"I'm picking some sturdy sweet potatoes and thinking I'll go home and see if I can grow them. She looked at him with wide, clear eyes.
"Oh, you're going to grow this?"
Yuqi shook her head: "No." ”
"Then how do you say you want to plant!"
"I saw that the aunt and they planted bud grain, and the bud seed fell from bud grain, and I wondered if this sweet potato would also be a seed. ”
The mullet looked at her in astonishment, she can think of so much at a young age, she is really too smart, her younger brother is really good at picking a daughter-in-law, yes, I have to tell Wu Maoyuan when I turn around, don't treat the fourth family of Fan Laosi, it's always good to walk around more if you have nothing to do.
"Girl, your idea is really good, even Uncle Yu didn't expect it. ”
"Hehe, that's Uncle Yu has too many things to do, and he hasn't thought of these yet. ”
The mullet smiled, but his heart was embarrassed, he really didn't think about the seeds, he just wanted to keep a sweet potato field on the mountain and wait for the next year's harvest, and he didn't think about planting sweet potatoes at all.
"Alright, you go get busy. ”
Yuqi nodded and returned to the crowd.
When going up the mountain, people's backs are empty bamboo buildings, and when they go down the mountain, the bamboo buildings on their backs are full, and their faces are full of happy smiles, and they don't feel tired after working all afternoon.
Going down the mountain to go home, Fan Junjiang sat on the stool a little tired, looked at the furniture in the yard, and sighed, it seems that he will step up his work tomorrow, otherwise he may not be able to do it in half a month.
Zhu Yan put all these sweet potatoes in a bag and prepared to put them in the kitchen, but Yuqi stopped her.
"Mother, the kitchen is very hot every day, I think this sweet potato should be placed in the shade to last longer. ”
Zhu Yan also felt justified when she heard it, nodded her head, called the husband in the courtyard, carried it outside together, and put it in the firewood room.
Yuqi looked at it and shook her head, even if she avoided the high temperature and didn't rot, she was afraid that she would freeze into a stick in winter, so it seemed that she should dig a cellar to be sure.
Looking up, it was still early, and it should be too late to dig a simple cellar, so I called my father in time to beat the furniture.
"Dad, let's dig a cellar and put all these sweet potatoes in it, maybe we can eat them until the New Year." ”
Fan Junjiang looked down at her suspiciously: "What is the cellar?"
"It's to make a deep hole in the ground, and then put things in it, warm in winter and cool in summer, so that you can store a lot of things, and they won't break down in a certain period of time. ”
"Silly girl, that's not called a cellar, it's a hole in the ground. He smiled and shook his head to correct her.
It turns out that the cellar is called a hole in the ground! There is a hole in the ground, called a hole in the ground, poof, this name is really in place, and it is not as good as the cellar.
"Dad, do we have one in our family?"
"No, in the past, we didn't have any accumulated things, so we didn't dig up. ”
"Oh, then, Dad, let's dig one, put the sweet potato in it, don't spoil it when the time comes, it's a pity." ”
Fan Junjiang thought about it: "Okay, tomorrow I will find your third uncle to pick a piece of land at home and dig it." ”
Yuqi is puzzled, why do you dig a hole in the ground and pick a place?
"Isn't that just a place to dig for an open space?"
Fan Junjiang smiled, the eldest girl is really a child, thinking about everything is so simple: "There is water underground, and it is not a random hole, if you don't hit the hole well, it will be damp inside, the ventilation is not good, and things will still rot." ”
"Then how do you know that the ground can be drilled?"
"Your third uncle is good at the aspect, just call him to come. ”
Yuqi suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this.
――
On the way down the mountain, Fan Dahe held two fat pheasants, seeing that they were still kicking their legs, Fan Dahe was happy, the family could eat chicken beautifully tonight, and the dead girl of Yuqi in the province said that she only ate and did not work.
"Yo, this pheasant is really not small. ”
"It's true, this relative of the fourth family of Fan Lao is really powerful, and he can hunt at such a young age. ”
When Fan Dahe heard the village women in the village, he was also proud, and even when he walked, he was full of vigor.
Soon arrived home, as soon as he entered the door, he went straight to Yuqi's house and called Yuqi out.
"I've caught two fat chickens, and I'm not just eating and not working. "I was proud to hold up the chicken in my hand.
Yuqi squinted at the chicken that kicked his legs, glanced at him, and sneered: "I caught two chickens, and it's worth showing off, if I go up the mountain for a day, let alone two chickens, even five chickens, I can get them for you, cut, what's not to know." He rolled his eyes and turned his head to ignore him and leave.
Fan Dahe looked at the chicken in his hand, looked at her back, pouted, walked to the kitchen, handed the chicken to his aunt, and turned around and left silently.
Zhu Yan looked at the chicken in his hand, from the initial surprise to the current habitual, it is no longer strange, although this child is a stuffy gourd, but the heart and eye are not bad, if it is not amnesia, it is a pity to think about it.
The more Fan Dahe thought about it, the more angry he became, he wasted his strength for a long time, and finally hunted two chickens.
After calling Yuqi out once, her pouts were red with anger, and she asked her aggrievedly: "Why do you say that I show off, and why do you say that I can catch five chickens a day." ”
Yo he, this is to challenge yourself, as soon as he says that he is still not convinced, he only likes to listen to good words, what a spoiled child.
"You don't believe it, then let's go into the mountain together tomorrow morning, I'll catch five for you to see, and I'll convince you to lose." ”
"Well, I don't believe you can catch it. ”
"What if I catch it!"
"Whatever you want. ”
"Okay, that's a deal. ”
"Hmph, the big husband is full of words. He glared at Yuqi and turned his head back to the house.
At dinner in the evening, Fan Dahe was sullen with the dishes, but Yuqi was happily eating the chicken on the plate.
"It's delicious, what my mother makes is fragrant. Fan Dahe pursed his lips, rolled his eyes, and ate the few pieces of chicken in the bowl fiercely.
Fan Junjiang and Zhu Yan glanced at each other, and they both felt inexplicable. Yu Jie looked at the two of them back and forth, her sister was obviously deliberately angry with Fan Dahe, looking at Fan Dahe, who was not lightly angry, Yu Jie silently mourned for him in her heart, and provoked her sister, who had no good fruit to eat, shook her head with a sigh, bowed her head and did not join the battlefield, and ate the rice in the bowl silently.
The next day, as soon as the sky was polished, Yuqi was woken up by someone in her sleep.
The annoyed Yuqi pushed them away and looked at him with an unkind face: "You disturb people's dreams, do you know it, you are called lack of Dejia corruption." ”
Fan Dahe looked at her angry and corrupt look, and the irritability of not sleeping all night last night was inexplicably better, and he said hippiely: "You said it, you went up the mountain with me today to compete, why are you afraid." ”
"Hmph, you wait for me, I don't even know your mother if I don't clean it up today, so I won't call Fan Yuqi. ”
There was a bang, and the door slammed shut.
Yuqi, who was tidying up Lisuo, went out with him one after the other, and didn't walk long to the mountain, the two stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at each other: "From now on, our official competition, based on noon, gather here, if anyone has less prey, whoever loses, how about it." ”
Fan Dahe crossed his arms and smiled: "I don't have any problem, if you admit defeat now, it's like I'll apologize and it'll be over, save it." ”
"Daydreaming, self-inflicted. Before he could finish speaking, Yuqi went up the mountain alone.
Fan Dahe pouted, pursed his lips and went up the mountain from the other side.
On the mountain, Ululin had just finished picking up a bundle and walking back, and after a few steps, he saw Yuqi going up the mountain alone, and he was happy, a good opportunity for revenge came, and he slowly put down the firewood on his body, quietly hid aside, and waited for the opportunity to move
