Early the next morning, Gan Xiaotang was still asleep, so he was wrapped in a cloak and carried to the donkey cart, and the rest were also hugged to the car. Yuan Niang woke up when she heard the movement, but she didn't know what to do, Liu Sanniang said, "Go to sleep, it's not so early on weekdays, and I got up early today when I went back in their car." ”

Yuan Niang nodded, but did not go back to sleep, and when they left, they sat on the porch in a daze, in the morning Gan Er went out first, she saw it like a frightened rabbit, turned her head and ran to the room The door was closed, and when Gan Er went out, she came out again.

Gan Xiaotang woke up swaying, her eyes were dark, and her little hand pulled twice to tear off the cloak covering her eyes, only to see the gray sky, Zou Xiaoxi hugged her and whispered, "Mother's obedient wake up." ”

Gan Xiaotang's big eyes looked east and west, and what he saw was not the sky, or someone else's back, because the line of sight was too short, Gan Xiaotang struggled to ask Zou Xiaoxi to pick her up, and his vision widened, at this time he was out of the city gate, and at a glance it was a continuous paddy field, at this time the harvest had been completed, only the straw was still left in the field, and there were cattle herding leisurely walking in the field.

"Mother." Gan Xiaotang shouted.

"Cow, that's a big buffalo." Zou Xiaoxi told her. Gan Xiaotang naturally knew the cow, she was just surprised, this Qianmo paddy field was no different from the paddy field she passed by when she was collecting wind in the past, except for the difference in the road.

Speaking of the road, it's obviously such a wide road, why does Dad only walk on the side, how awkward. She didn't know that in ancient times, not everyone could walk on this road, only high-ranking officials and nobles could take the main road, and Shengdou Xiaomin could only walk on the side.

Gan Xiaotang knew that he had a donkey cart at home, and his father and Ah Weng drove out to kill cattle and pigs every day, and then came back with meat, and now his father sat in front of the car, Ah Weng sat at the back of the car, her mother and grandma, and Sister Chun were all sitting on the side of the cart, and her three brothers were asleep in the open space in the middle.

Gan Xiaotang woke up and walked for another quarter of an hour, turned a corner, this will be able to walk in the middle, and soon arrived at the edge of a village, a large open space with only a roof shed, two large stoves, at this time it was already lively and noisy, the sound of livestock and human voices were melted into the mist of hot water.

Gan Butcher jumped out of the car and picked up a one-meter-long box beside him, "You send them home first, I'll prepare first." ”

"We can just walk over there ourselves." Zou Xiaoxiao said.

"How to go with so many children, let the boss send it, it's not too far." Liu Sanniang said.

Gan Xiaotang was curious and wanted to look over there, but Zou Xiaoxi covered her eyes and didn't let her look, "You can't look over there, you will be scared if you see it." ”

Gan Xiaotang suddenly understood, this may be the place where Ah Weng and his father work, the slaughterhouse, a simple version. So he obediently nested in Zou Xiaoxi's arms and didn't look over there.

After walking another mile to stop in front of a wooden door, Liu Sanniang went down and opened the door, the house was similar to the house in the city, but the open space in the middle was much larger than in the city, Gan Da carried the person who was still asleep into the house, Gan Xiaotang wanted to go to the ground, Zou Xiaoxi told her not to run around.

Gan Da rushed back to kill the pig, and Zou Xiaoxi asked Sister Chun to go home, "Take advantage of these days to rest at home, you don't have to come over, I and my mother-in-law can do this thing of cooking dried vegetables." ”

"When I go home, I am afraid that I am more tired than in the Lord's house." Although Sister Chun said this, she was obviously like an arrow, and the package had already been held in her hand, "I'll let my monkeys come over to play with Hachiro and them later." ”

Everyone left, the yard was quiet, and it didn't be quiet for long, Liu Sanniang and Zou Xiaoxi were both good people, at this time, one person was busy boiling hot water in the kitchen, and the other person started cleaning with a broom, first carrying a bucket of water from the well to wet the ground, so as not to raise dust, Gan Xiaotang watched them deal with things in an orderly manner, looked at the eyelids and made them heavy, covered their eyes, and fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, it was already three poles in the morning, the originally empty yard was already full, she was placed on a mat in the shade, Gan Twelve sat beside her, holding a small half of a melon in his hand, Gan Xiaotang licked his mouth, and sure enough, he licked a trace of sweet water, it seems that during the time she was asleep, Gan Twelve also shared it with her selflessly.

"Mother." Gan Xiaotang shouted.

"Eleven woke up." Sister Chun heard it first, Zou Xiaoxi looked up from the vegetable pile, finished the last handful of dishes in his hand, wiped his hands and got up, and went to the kitchen to get hot egg custard and noodles, "Eat it yourself, and call your mother when you finish eating." ”

Gan Xiaotang nodded, stood down and looked around, "Shhh ”

Zou Xiaoxi took her to the thatched house, Gan Xiaotang has only used the toilet since she was born, the first time she entered the thatched house, she was almost washed down by this smell, she sat on the bucket at home and solved it by herself, not here, two wooden planks were put on the dung pit, Zou Xiaoxi was afraid that she would fall down, so she had to put it on.

Gan Xiaotang went to the toilet with great confusion. Zou Xiaoxi looked at her face and smiled and said, "It's my mother's negligence, I didn't bring Eleven's small toilet, and I'll let my father bring it to you tomorrow, okay?" ”

Gan Xiaotang should be soft and soft.

Gan Xiaotang slowly ate her belated breakfast, curiously watched them cook dried vegetables, some of the people who made dried vegetables secretly looked at her, saw that she really ate by herself, felt strange, and said to Sister Chun, "Mother, that sister is younger than the fourth baby, so you don't need to feed her?" ”

"Eleven eats clean and doesn't waste, so I don't have to feed it for a long time." Sister Chun said. "Don't get used to the fourth baby, he can eat if he wants to, and if he doesn't eat, he will be hungry, and he wants you to chase and feed, tossing people."

"Sister." Gan Xiaotang pointed to the young lady who was born and said.

"This is the eldest sister of Sister Chun's family." Zou Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "Call me sister now, and I should call me sister-in-law in another two years." ”

The girl lowered her head when she heard this, Gan Xiaotang saw that she was not very old, Sister Chun said that her mother-in-law urged Hua Niu and the tiger baby to marry the round house, "What are you anxious about, one is fifteen, the other is only fourteen, and the body bones are not complete, so I urge the round house to have a baby, and I am still a baby." ”

Hua Niu is the child daughter-in-law of Sister Chun's family, but Sister Chun has taken it for so many years, and she is also like her own daughter, "So I asked Huwa to follow Erlang out of the business house to see the world, learn some skills, and wait until I come back to seventeen or eighteen to get married." ”

Gan Wenli studied in his uncle's shop for a few days and said that he wanted to follow the convoy of the business house to see how the goods came from, the family was unwilling to do it, he went to the business house by himself and negotiated with people, and came back just to inform him, although his uncle said that they were all familiar with the caravan, and they couldn't go far at first, but the family was still worried.

Sister Chun heard that there was a fifteen-year-old boy in her family, and now she doesn't know what to do, so it's better to go to the caravan with Erlang, and have her own person. They all said that they would go to the caravan after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then they would come back for the New Year.

"It's good that you think so." Zou Xiaoxi said, "Now there is no reason for girls in the city to marry early, look at each other at the age of sixteen, marry at seventeen or eighteen, and wait until they have children in their early twenties, which is very safe." ”

Gan Xiaotang watched them talk and do things at the same time, and they listened to it with relish, and there was still a small half bowl of egg custard that could not be eaten, so he beckoned Gan Twelve to come over and fed him one bite at a time.
