Chapter 17 Our family is Zhuge Liang

The younger brother Xie Xiyuan also ran to find the dog leftovers, sat on the stone and made up a cage for the grasshopper.

Xie Ya saw that the old uncle and the second uncle were sweating like rain digging a ditch, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask when the old uncle would come.

"I saw your second uncle on the road, so I came over together."

The uncle didn't look up, obviously he didn't come to help the Xie Ya family.

Xie Ya and her father Xie Huaxiang also dug up.

Xu Meili saw that the second uncle and the younger uncle came to help, and hurriedly said: "You guys are digging, I'll go home and cook, and eat at my house at night." ”

Xie Ya was taken aback, her mother is really generous, and people should invite you to eat if they help, but these are two big men, the amount of food can be imagined, and the little green corn fished out of the water, if you eat it like this, there will be nothing left in a few meals.

"No, let's go home and eat, sister-in-law, don't be busy."

The uncle hurriedly raised his head and shouted at Xu Meili, and lowered his head and dug again.

Xie Ya looked at her mother: "Yes, mother, hurry up and dig it up, it'll be dark for a while." ”

Xu Meili smiled: "That's okay, it's important to work." ”

Just when a few people were in full swing, the little sister-in-law ran over from the village road with a black face.

"Mother, why are you here?"

When the dog saw that his mother was coming, he ran forward excitedly, hugged his mother's legs like a hemp stick, and looked up at his mother through his abrupt belly and begged for a hug.

The little sister-in-law Guo Lixia dragged her son in her arms and shouted angrily to her uncle Xie Huashi: "Hurry up and go to the grass to feed the donkeys, the donkeys at home are hungry and quacking, and they still have the leisure to dig ditches in this gang!?" ”

After shouting, he hugged the dog, didn't look at the people, and walked back directly.

Seeing that the old uncle hesitated, Xie Ya got up and didn't speak, picked up the sickle next to him, and went to the side of the mountain.

Xie Ya knew that the aunt was unhappy, so she hurriedly shouted to the uncle: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Xie Huashi turned around and raised the sickle in his hand, signaling himself to mow the grass, Xie Ya nodded and looked at the second uncle.

Xie Huaxiang hurriedly said: "Huashan, you can go back too, we will dig the rest by ourselves, there will be a lot of work at home at night, don't let your younger siblings work alone." ”

Xie Huashan got up, thumped his waist, and nodded: "That's okay, you don't have to worry, let's do it slowly." ”

As he spoke, he also picked up his shovel and walked straight home.

Xie Ya watched the two uncles leave, sent her younger brother Xiyuan home to see the little piggy, and said to her father: "The two uncles are very good, but the little aunt is a little tempered, and the second aunt also gave us face because I showed Erhong eye disease." ”

Xu Meili nodded and looked at her daughter and the man.

"Yes, you look at the momentum of the pot-bellied woman, I get angry when I look at it, in the future, we really have to live this little life well, let her see, don't look down on people!"

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun completely disappeared on the other side of the mountain, and the family dug the canal, found a handful of wild vegetables at the bottom of the mountain, and carried a shovel and pickaxe to return home.

At this time, Wu Da carried half a bag of coarse grain and the title deed and sent it over, and left without saying a word.

The family was happy, looking at the title deed in hand, Xie Ya hurriedly asked her mother to put it away, but Xu Meili looked at the difficulty of having twenty catties of coarse grain.

"This grain is too coarse, how can I swallow this?"

Xie Ya saw that the white cloth bag was filled with corn ballast of different sizes, mixed with a lot of soil.

Immediately, Xie Ya stopped doing it, and walked out directly with the bag.

"This Wu Dalang is really not kind, isn't this taking our family as two hundred and five? Food must be exchanged! ”

Seeing this, Xie Huaxiang hurriedly stepped forward to stop his daughter: "Okay, the martial arts family is poor, it's good to give some, I'll find a sieve to clean up later, I should be able to eat." ”

Xu Meili hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your father is right, we will eat green corn first in the evening, and this will be eaten tomorrow, anyway, I also like to eat coarse grains." ”

Xie Ya heard her father and mother say this, and it was also the reason, the bag was handed over to her father, and the handful of mountain cabbage was put in a basin to wash vegetables in the yard.

Xu Meili peeled the green corn, scraped off the tender corn directly with a kitchen knife, put it in a basin, and soaked the salt jar with water, poured some salt water into the corn kernels, added half a basin of water and put it on the wooden fork in the pot, covered the broken wooden pot lid, Xie Huaxiang added a handful of dry firewood to the stove pit, got up and went outside.

Xie Huaxiang made a simple stove with two stones outside, filled water with a broken aluminum basin, poured salted water on the slices of washed mushrooms, poured the remaining duck broth at noon into it, began to boil, and threw the cabbage into the mushroom soup.

Xie Ya saw that her father and mother did their best, making the smell of food wafting out of the house and outside the house, and said with a smile, "My good man, this posture is obviously leftovers, and I forced you to make the taste of the restaurant." ”

Xie Huaxiang saw his daughter praising himself like this, and said with a smile: "That's, you don't want to think about what your father did in the first place, it's really no problem to open a restaurant." ”

Xu Meili came out of the house, came out with a pot of small fish and shrimp to dry, and said: "Don't dream about your grandfather, you don't even have an oil star at home, and people who don't have a penny still want to open a restaurant, what about blowing?" What a dream for 100 days! ”

Seeing his daughter-in-law say this, Xie Huaxiang looked down at the mushrooms tumbling in the pot sadly, and said in a low voice: "I'll go find a job tomorrow, and it should be no problem to earn money for food." ”

Xu Meili pursed her lips and looked at Xie Ya with a smile, she couldn't douse a basin of cold water to extinguish the enthusiasm of understanding the cannon.

During the meal, the family of four ate corn porridge and mushroom and vegetable soup, and they were sweating profusely.

Especially Xiyuan, although his home was flooded today, he was much happier than before, and he had a full meal, which was really happy.

Xie Ya fed the corn paste to the piglet, but the pig was hungry, and the little belly that drank directly was round, and he fell asleep on the ground.

Xie Huaxiang cleaned up the corn ballast with a basket, and Xu Meili said: "The big ballast porridge is delicious, and I will specialize in eating the big ballast porridge tomorrow." ”

Seeing this, Xie Ya had an idea and said, "My mother, can we sell this for some silver, buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar or something?" ”

Xie Huaxiang hurriedly said: "This is good, or I'll put on a big ballast, let's go to the town tomorrow morning and see what the effect is?" ”

Xie Ya said, "The tender polenta I ate tonight is not bad, and I think it will also sell for money." ”

Xi Yuan next to him thought about it and said, "Mother, it's delicious to cook tender corn directly." ”

Xu Meili made a direct decision on the side: "Okay, let's do this, start making it immediately, tonight's big porridge, plus tomorrow morning's corn cooking, let's go to the town early to find a better stall."

Xie Huaxiang was happy, clapped his hands and smiled: "Our family is Zhuge Liang, this is really, as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties." ”

With a goal, after cleaning up everything, tying the fence door, plugging in the door, Xu Meili spread the dried sheets on the cotton, and the family of four lay on the kang, ready to rest.

Xie Ya assigned, the father was in the kang, the mother and the younger brother were in the middle, and he fell asleep next to the broken cabinet on the kang.

Xie Ya is a little unaccustomed to such a farmer's soil kang, there is no way, the pit dug by himself can only be done like this.

"Daddy, when we don't have a big house, you should consider my brother's feelings and my feelings, sleep well, and spend all your energy on how to eat enough."

Xie Ya first said the ugly words in front to avoid her father and mother from thinking about it.

Xu Meili hurriedly said: "Don't worry, as thin as your father, he should be well raised." ”

After speaking, he laughed, Xie Huaxiang, who was lying on the mud kang that had just been repaired and had not yet dried, pinched his daughter-in-law hard, and scolded in a low voice: "Hurry up and sleep!" ”

Tranquility returned to the house.

Xie Ya thought about all the things that happened in a day, this is really incredible, such a big living person, just like this, into the book.

Also, my own space also came over, although it was a little small, but it could also solve a big problem.

Just thinking about it, Xie Ya felt a shake in front of her, and a small space appeared, and the small medicine box was inside, and a few bottles of anti-inflammatory drugs and some Chinese medicine were added.

Xie Ya is happy, there should be be storage of medicines here, and there is time to go up the mountain to dig up some Chinese medicine and put it in it for later use.

In a daze, Xie Ya listened to her father's snoring and fell asleep.
