Chapter 65: Balsam and Wax
Jiang and Li Shishi pushed open the courtyard door and entered, Jiang Shi was holding a broom and a feather duster, and Li Shishi was carrying a basket with pine oil torches in the basket.
Jiang threw the broom to Xiangling, and he snatched the basket in Li Shishi's hand, and said to his daughter: "Let's go, go with my mother to see if the vegetable cellar can still be used." ”
There's also a vegetable cellar, which is pretty good.
Following the east corner of the Jiang family's courtyard, a broken grass mat was lifted, revealing a swarthy hole that extended downward, and the hole was not large, allowing only one person to enter and exit.
Li Shi lit a pine torch and threw it down, and found that the cellar was not large, less than two meters in diameter and less than four meters deep.
It is more appropriate to say that it is a cellar, rather than a soil pit, because often stepping on the soil walls on both sides to go down, there is already a tendency to collapse, and if you don't make it again, it is likely to bury people.
Jiang said with a disappointed face: "This old Wang family can really fool around, what kind of cellar is this, I'm happy in vain." ”
Xiangling comforted Jiang and said: "Mother, if you want a cellar, let's get one seriously, the people take food as the sky, this is nonsense." You'll leave this matter to me, but we'll have to move a few days late, so we can use this time to make some furniture, make some bedding, and so on. ”
Jiang saw that Xiangling was very confident, so he tossed Xiangling.
Xiangling said to Li Shishi: "Brother Shi, do you have time tomorrow, accompany me to the nearest brick cellar to buy some green bricks?" ”
Li Shishi looked willing to serve.
Because Li Shishi wholeheartedly helped the Chu family work, and took care of Xia Ge'er to wipe his body and go to the thatched house, the relationship between him and Xia Ge'er because of Li Xiaocui has been unprecedentedly improved.
Of course, he pays in return, the farmer has two meals a day, at least one of them is eaten at the Chu family, there is a faint tendency to gain weight, his mother Li has a good heart, and she is not as yin and yang as Liu Xiwang and his mother.
Li Shishi agreed happily, and then remembered the wedding tomorrow in the Chu family's old house, and the fox asked: "I have time, but I'm afraid you don't have time, right?" Isn't Chu Xiangling getting married tomorrow? ”
Xiangling snorted disdainfully: "Our family of four, only my mother, the celebrant who received the invitation, and the other three, the bedridden, the young, the stupid, were excluded from Chu Xiangwei's wedding." ”
Li Shishi said angrily: "Your grandmother is really ruthless, and she won't even let her granddaughter eat the banquet." Since you won't be allowed to go, I'll accompany you to the brick cellar. The donkey cart with strong feet went to the county seat and passed by the brick cellar of Lao Sun's house, and we met under the big tree at the entrance of the village. ”
"Okay." The two agreed, and Li Shishi went home.
Xiangling looked at the weather, picked a few eggplants that were not very beautiful, and the two of them went home.
Xiangling made a pot of sorghum rice and rice, and when the rice was ready, it was scooped out.
Cut the eggplant into pieces, roll it in dry flour, and fry it in a pan to make a dish of roasted eggplant.
After eating, Xiao Xianglian lay on the kang and touched her stomach, and even said that it was too delicious.
Looking at the only big pot at home, you can't cook after cooking, and you can't cook after cooking, which is a waste of time and affects the taste.
Xiangling decided that since she wanted to buy green bricks, it was better to build another shed in the courtyard, build a fire dragon stove, one stove with seven eyes, and seven pots side by side, that is, not afraid of oil smoke, but also cook a few dishes at the same time.
......
Lingyu Pass, Bat Wing House.
Jia Xiaoliu and Sun Liangtian stared at Yang Qingyue, the latter calmly put down the book, raised his eyebrows and said, "Something?" ”
Jia Xiaoliu put Yang Qingyue's change of clothes on the table.
Yang Qingyue glanced at her clothes, picked up the book and continued to read.
"Smack", Sun Liangtian poured the flat porcelain bottle in his purse on the table, and complained: "Big brother, we went to pick up the clothes, and found that your things were 'dropped' in the clothes sent for washing, and we can't lose them like this in the future." ”
In the past, Yang Qingyue reprimanded Sun Liangtian for losing three and four, but today he finally let Sun Liangtian catch his eldest brother again, and Sun Liangtian felt a strange pleasure in his heart.
"Oh, it turned out to be in the clothes, and I said I couldn't find it no matter how I looked for it. My feet are frozen and cracked, and I want to apply some bacha. Yang Qingyue glanced at the flat porcelain bottle, said lightly, and moved her gaze back to the book again, looking focused.
Sun Liangtian squatted down in surprise, stretched out his hand to take off Yang Qingyue's shoes, and Yang Qingyue was so frightened that Yang Qingyue hurriedly retracted her feet and explained: "I can apply wax by myself, I don't need you." ”
Sun Liangtian said with a sad face: "Big brother, now that it's just August, your feet are starting to freeze and crack?" So what if it's the cold winter wax moon? Don't crack into a honeycomb! ”
Yang Qingyue's face darkened, and she didn't know how to answer this idiot.
Jia Xiaoliu pulled Sun Liangtian up with a look, and said to Yang Qingyue with a sneer: "Big brother, let's go down first, remember to apply more wax grease, it's not easy to get old criminals." ”
Two people went out.
Yang Qingyue opened the purse and looked at the flat porcelain bottle in a daze, but a pair of small hands full of cracks suddenly appeared in front of her, and she really couldn't figure out how a woman's hand could be cracked like that, rough like that.
...
Sun Liangtian, who had been dragged away by Jia Xiaoliu, was angry, and shook Jia Xiaoliu away and said, "The surname is Jia, you are not a human being!" You and I came from the Yang family's slave nationality to military nationality, and the eldest brother's feet are frozen and cracked, why don't you care at all!? If you don't make it clear today, I'll beat you all over the ground looking for teeth!! ”
Jia Xiaoliu looked at Sun Liangtian like a fool, and said angrily: "Is there an elm pimple on your neck?" What month is it now, how can you freeze your feet and crack? You believe what the eldest brother says? Can't use your brain? ”
Sun Liangtian not only didn't listen to it, but shouted even more, and said sadly: "You dare to suspect that the eldest brother is lying to us? The eldest brother has always been devoted to our brothers, and he has sacrificed his life to save you, how can you doubt him? He won't lie to us at any time! ”
Jia Xiaoliu sighed, Sun Liangtian is good at everything, but he is a little stupid, he is like this, he still doesn't open his mind, if he can't figure it out, he probably won't even be able to sleep.
Jia Xiaoliu simply opened the skylight and said brightly: "You idiot, haven't you opened that porcelain vase?" When did the wax we smear in the army have a fragrance? ”
"Huh?" Sun Liangtian blinked in confusion, as if Jia Xiaoliu was talking about that, he also smeared bacon in winter, but it never had a fragrance.
Jia Xiaoliu smashed the back of Sun Liangtian's head with his fist, and said angrily: "You have to be stupid." Although this thing looks like the wax used to treat frozen hands and feet in the army, it is not at all, but the balsam used for women's hands and faces, which is better than the mud used by ordinary women, two taels of silver and a small box. ”
"Huh?" Sun Liangtian felt that his brain was knotted, and he asked stupidly: "Maybe the eldest brother just likes to moisten his hands with balm?" ”
Jia Xiaoliu finally gave up on plucking this fool and played the piano to the cow completely.
