Chapter 4: Spitting

Early the next morning, Xiangling ran to the thatched house again, feeling that her stomach was basically good, and she already felt hungry.

I wanted to ask Jiang for something to eat, but I found that Jiang came back from the direction of the room sullenly, carrying a large wooden basin, and in it was a ball of raw dough.

"Mother, what's wrong, didn't you cook?"

"Your aunt said that the room is occupied."

"It's a separation, right?" Chu Xiangling said a word.

Jiang shrunk his neck like a quail, and said listlessly: "Your aunt is right, the family is separated, it should be divided more clearly, the kitchen is in the east wing, and it belongs to the old house." ”

"One set in front of you, one set behind your back!" Xiangling couldn't help muttering.

When the family was separated yesterday, in front of Chu Lizheng, Chu promised to use the kitchen of the old house before buying a pot and stove in the second room, but now he regretted it.

Chu Xiangling glanced at the direction of the thatched house, and smiled shyly: "Mother, the kitchen is in the east wing, it belongs to the old house, and the firewood stacks and the thatched house are in the west wing, do they belong to our family?" In the future, will the old house not be able to burn firewood, will it only be able to eat and not pull? ”

Jiang was amused by the silly girl's words, stroked the silly girl's head and smiled: "The rest of the firewood stack is half-burned firewood, and it will smoke if it is not burned well, so they can burn it if they like it; If you go to the thatched house, you must not stop it, those wolf cubs are black. ”

Chu Xiangling took the basin from Jiang's hand and said with a smile: "Mother, I know!" I'm so hungry that my heart is close to my back, so let's make gnocchi soup in a clay pot this morning, shall we? ”

Jiang nodded, and went back to the house to fetch the large clay pot for water.

When she came out, Xiangling set up a simple wooden stove, piled firewood in it, lit a fire, and set up a clay pot on it.

The Jiang family wanted to take over, and Xiangling commanded again: "Mother, didn't you say that you were going to go today--pine needles?" That thing is prickly, you can find some more rags to wrap around! ”

Jiang was pushed back into the house, and when he came out again, the dough had turned into gnocchi soup, wafting with the fragrance of oil stars.

Jiang feints and says, "You are a loser! Uses a lot of oil and salt, right? ”

Xiangling smirked and didn't say anything, and asked Jiang to bring the clay pot into the house.

Looking at the direction of the east wing, the corners of Xiangling's mouth rose, scooped half a scoop of water, and poured it into the charcoal pile with a "sting" sound, and a burst of choking black smoke rose up, taking advantage of the wind, directly filling the window of the east wing.

Xiangling flashed, returned to the house like a loach, tied the door, sat on the kang, and covered her ears with her hands.

"You slut who kills a thousand knives, loses money and goods, and is rotten, what kind of firewood are you burning in the yard? Choke to death!! Liu rushed out of the east wing, crossed his waist and scolded.

Chu Xia and Chu Xianglian, you look at me, I look at you, and at the same time raised their hands, covering their ears, and the corners of their mouths rose unconsciously.

Seeing that there was no movement at all in the second room, Liu angrily greeted his son and moved all the remaining firewood to the old house, and there was no firewood available in the second room.

The scolding faded away, and the three of them put down their palms, picked up the pimple soup, and drank it in a snort.

Because Xiangling has just recovered from a serious illness, Jiang's noodles are very sufficient, and it is rare for a family to eat so well and so full.

"Sister, why are you so good? Can you cook? It's much better than what my mother made. ”

"Shhhhh.......h ”

Jiang rolled his eyes: "I'm listening........"

Xiao Xianglian covered her mouth with her palm and said vaguely: "The food cooked by my mother is delicious, the food cooked by my eldest sister is also delicious, and Lianlian loves to eat it......"

Chu Xia also bent his eyebrows with a rare smile, and the Jiang family saw it, and his gloomy heart finally penetrated a ray of sunshine.

When the mother was about to finish eating, a figure suddenly ran over from the window, heading straight in the direction of the thatched house.

"Jam", "Bang", "Ah", "Vomit".......

Several terrifying voices in succession, Xianglian wanted to run out to see what was going on, but Xiangling pulled her back by the collar by the neck, and couldn't suppress her smile and said, "Kill the cat with curiosity and eat obediently." ”

"Why did Hao Qi kill the cat? Does he have a grudge against the cat? Little Xianglian's curiosity was piqued.

"It wasn't a man named Hao Qi who killed the cat, but a cat who was curious about what was in the soup and fell into the soup and scalded to death, which tells us that people must hold back their curiosity, otherwise they will harm themselves."

"But, that's our thatched house, what if it's a thief?"

"What did the thief steal from the hut? Stealing gold? ”

"No gold, there's rhubarb......."

After a very mysterious question and answer, the two sisters saw Chu Dong limping out of the thatched house, all yellow, dripping with "soup", and filled with stench.

Feeling a burst of nausea, the two little sisters glanced at each other, and then laughed, even the Jiang family, who had always been cautious, smiled and bent his eyebrows, and the corners of his eyes formed beautiful crow's feet.

After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Jiang wanted to go in person - pine needles, but was stopped by Xiangling.

"Mother, I'll go with my eldest brother, my eldest brother will chop wood, I'll pick up pine needles, you go and ask the villagers who can speak, tomorrow to help our family build the wall and stove, and live like this with the old house, and sooner or later we have to fight."

Xiangling is not afraid of fighting, but she is afraid that she can't beat others.

Jiang handed the rags to his daughter, which was regarded as agreeing with his daughter, put a basket on Chu Xia's back, and did not forget to nag: "Brother Xia, Xiangling has little time to go up the mountain, you are optimistic about her; Don't go into the mountains, pick up dwarf pine trees, don't climb high ......."

The brother and sister carried the basket on their backs, left the hospital, and walked towards the foot of the mountain.

Because Chu Xia's leg was injured, the brother and sister did not walk fast.

When I arrived at the fork in the mountain, I had a bump with two young people who came down the mountain.

The short and chubby young man "poofed" and circled around Chu Xia and said in a strange manner: "Who is my Dao?" It turned out to be Brother Xia! Got a leg drop for a month, right? Not good yet? What about Xiaocui, didn't accompany you to chop wood? ”

The tall and thin man pulled his short and chubby hand in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "Stone, don't say it again, Brother Xia is uncomfortable enough......."

Chu Xia's face was terrifying, and he pulled Xiangling's sleeve and walked up the mountain road.

Xiangling turned her head and glared at Xiangling fiercely, and she glared back at Xiangling and said, "Little fool! ”

"Phew........" A mouthful of saliva accurately spat on the short and chubby face, the short and chubby reached out to wipe his face, wiped a stall of spitting stars, and said hatefully: "Little fool, you spit on me!" See I don't hit you!! ”

The fat man said very harshly, but he stood still, didn't really catch up, and watched the brother and sister go away.

The thin and tall man sighed and said: "Stone, Brother Xia is already like this, Xiaocui is also married to someone else, they are all good brothers, why bother?" ”

"Xiwang, don't you know who Xiaocui is going to marry? I hate Brother Xia for not being angry, and I didn't keep Xiaocui......." Shi ran back to the village with red eyes.
