Chapter 19: Chilli Water
The Liu family worked from morning to night, because there was not much strong labor, and they worked until three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still a small half of the wheat in the field that had not been cut.
Liu Chonglin's family originally had an old cow, which was passed down from his father, so that after three or four years the old cow couldn't do anything, he sent it to the town to sell it and replaced it with a small cow and came back.
Liu Chongshan found the second brother and said that he wanted to use the cow, it was like this in the past, one cow and three families worked together, and his family and the third family helped the second family to help the second family again, even if it was leveled, they were all their own brothers, so there was no need to distinguish so clearly.
Before Liu Chonglin could speak, the Li family on the side was waiting for this moment, and said in a loud voice: "My cow is as thin as a monkey, and I have to pull my own wheat, and I have to pull the third family, how can I pull your family again?" Anyway, there are a lot of girls in your family, and all of them are too good, so you can pull it slowly? ”
The Li family hated his family Liu Guiyuan for making such a fuss last time, and he also took away a lot of rice noodles and eggs, and this time he said that he was not willing to lend cattle to his family envoy, and the two families would not interact with each other from today.
Liu Chongshan was embarrassed on his face, there was no cow, and he relied on her mother to make it move, so he smiled and said: "You see that the children are playing and beating, they are all joking, we adults can still take it seriously, second brother, do you say it?" ”
Liu Chonglin nodded, wanting to give his eldest brother a cow, Li's eye knife flew over, Liu Chonglin didn't dare to speak, Li lowered his head and slapped the ashes on his body, and didn't look at people, yin and yang said angrily: "We have to pull the wheat after pulling the wheat, and we have to pull the mill to get rid of the wheat after pulling the wheat, and I have to be busy for five or six days, or you wait for the uncle, and tell you when my family is done?" ”
Liu Chongshan returned to the ground with a tense face, Zhang saw that he didn't come back, and asked him what was going on, Liu Chongshan kicked his foot on the ground, kicked the dust, and yelled at Zhang: "There is no cow envoy, I see how you pull it?" How long will it take to get so much wheat? With that, he covered his head and squatted on the ground sulking.
Zhang persuaded him a few words, telling Liu Hongjube and Liu Huahua not to be busy cutting wheat, and the cut wheat was sent to the ground in bundles first, Liu Huahua said: "Beihu is so far away from home, you can't get it on your own, why don't you hurry up and ask Liu Jindi's cattle if they are free?" ”
"I didn't tell anyone in advance, who knew that other people's cattle would be idle, I'll go back and borrow cattle now, you two put this together first, move quickly, don't make your father angry."
Zhang hurriedly returned to the village, first went to Liu Jindi's house to find someone, saw that the door was locked, guessed that his family was working in East Lake, and hurriedly went to East Lake to find it, fortunately, Liu Jindi's father Liu Daquan was there, and asked: "Your cow may be used for my family for a while?" ”
Liu Daquan and Liu Chongshan's house were separated by two rooms, not so close but in the end, they were relatives, so they said: "Hey, my cattle don't need it for the time being, I lent it to Liu Xiaobian's family in the morning, and said that we will send it over, I don't know why I didn't send it?" Are you waiting to use it? ”
Zhang's was in a hurry, and roughly talked about the second family's refusal to borrow the cow, and Liu Daquan asked her to go directly to Liu Xiaobian's house to bring the cow, and when she ran out of feed, she would send it over later.
Zhang Shixi couldn't do it, and after thanking her, she hurriedly went to Beihu, and when she came back, she happened to see Liu Xiaobian's family pulling wheat in the field, there was still a little bit left, and she was going to go now.
When Zhang arrived in the Beihu field, the three daughters were carrying wheat in the field, she quickly told the child's father Liu Chongshan that he had borrowed a cow and asked him to pull the cow, Liu Chongshan's gloomy face finally calmed down, and he nodded and went to find Liu Xiaobian's land.
"Dad, wait, I'll go with you."
Liu Guiyuan came to the field just now to deliver dinner, and she could have arrived early, but before going out, Liu Lianzi pulled a bed, and she could only clean it up. When I got to the ground, the eldest sister and the second sister said that she knew that the second aunt refused to borrow the cow, and your child pushed me into the river and almost drowned, and it was right to pay some white-flour eggs, she was at this time
made it bad, didn't give it to the cow and didn't say it in advance, this time it made her family scramble.
"What are you going to do, you're not busy enough?" Liu Chongshan saw Liu Guiyuan coming just now, stared at her for a long time and didn't speak.
"I followed the ox cart and brought it back to load the wheat first."
The ox and the oxcart are a set, but the ox walks slowly, she first pulls the ox cart to the ground, and when Liu Chongshan leads the ox to arrive, the mother here fills the ox cart. There is no way, the second aunt suddenly did this, they can only bear it, after all, it is important to harvest the wheat, if the wheat is not finished later, throw it in the field and ask people to take a bundle or two without paying attention, and the next day they will be angry when they see it.
When he arrived at Liu Xiaobian's land, the wheat in his field was almost pulled, and there were still two bundles left that had not been pulled away, so it didn't matter if he used cattle or not. Liu Chongshan walked over and said that he wanted to make the ox, but Liu Xiaobian didn't know it on purpose, leaned on the ox cart, and said: "It's not that I won't lend it to you, this cow is not mine, it belongs to Liu Da's family, I have to give it back to others." Otherwise, people will ask me about cows? How do I explain? ”
Liu Chongshan frowned and said, "What do you want to explain?" Brother Daquan knows that the cow I borrowed, he asked me to come here directly, for fear of delaying my wheat harvest, don't talk nonsense, give me the cow quickly? ”
Liu Xiaobian has a pair of twin sons, the same age as Liu Huasheng, at this time the eldest one giggled and said: "Uncle, that's not simple, let's send the cow back now, can you just take it from Uncle Daquan's hands?" ”
Liu Guiyuan remembered that his father and Liu Xiaobian did not deal with each other, Liu Xiaobian deliberately embarrassed his father, wanting to delay his family's wheat harvest, thinking of this, she stepped forward and said with a smile: "Uncle Xiaobian, let's wait for the cow in a hurry, do you think you are still joking?" This is my uncle's cow, why can't I lead it? After saying that, regardless of their attitude, he walked a few steps to the cow, led the cow and walked to the ground.
Liu Guiyuan took the cow away, Liu Xiaobian squinted at her, and said slowly: "Look at it, the little girl is not as good as a brat, she is frizzy, and the morning glory doesn't say hello, and almost makes me fall." Liu Xiaobian always speaks slowly, his tone is not yin or yang, it makes people angry, as soon as he finished saying this, his two boys, at the same time in the back quacked and laughed, listening to it is infiltrating.
Liu Chongshan and Liu Guiyuan came to their own field one after the other, and the field was already full of bundles of wheat. Liu Chongshan spit out two mouthfuls of spit, picked up the wooden fork and began to fork the wheat stacks, and put the bundles on the ox cart to stack them, and when the ox cart was so high that it could not be higher, he led the cow to his house, and Liu Guiyuan followed behind to watch, in case there was no wheat stacked well, and then let the villagers pick it up.
When the wheat was sent home, Zhang's asked the eldest daughter and the second daughter to eat first. Liu Hongjube nodded in response, ate the soft cake and the pickles, and said, "Mother, when you are halfway through, you will go home first to take care of the lotus seeds, and the rest of us can finish it." ”
Zhang was really worried about his little daughter, so he went to the basket and took a soft cake, and lowered his head to cut wheat while eating, and there was still half of it left, so he could cut as much as he could, and he would be less tired tomorrow if he cut it today. Liu Huahua ate soft cakes and drank water, took the empty crockpot to the small ditch next to it, scooped some shallow water from the ditch, and gave it to the cow when she came back.
In this way, five or six ox carts were pulled in a row, and there were still two or three carts of wheat harvested in the field, and at this time the sky was dark, and the people working in the field went back one after another, leaving Liu Chongshan's family, tired and half dead, still boiling in the field.
When they couldn't see their five fingers and had to follow the torch to find their way when they walked, Liu Chongshan's family finally finished pulling the last cart, each holding or carrying a bundle of wheat, and walked home mechanically.
When he got home, Liu Chongshan took advantage of the moonlight to be busy unloading the wheat stacks, and he didn't stop for a while, because once he rested, he couldn't do it anymore. Zhang's was nursing the child in the house, Liu Hongjube was busy boiling water and cooking porridge, Liu Huahua went to the chicken pen to check the chickens, but when he returned home, he saw that the three hens were fine, so he relaxed and closed the door of the chicken pen.
Liu Guiyuan ran back and forth more than ten times, and the soles of his feet hurt and he couldn't walk, but he still endured the pain and took out half a manure basket of grass from the hall, with two handfuls of maize dregs, and sent them to the cow to eat.
After returning the cow, the Liu family drank porridge, washed their faces, washed their feet, and went back to sleep after finishing it, Liu Chongshan thought that his body was dirty; I didn't go back to the back room to sleep, but pulled a broken mat and lay down on the floor of the hall and fell asleep.
The next morning, the family got up early, and drank most of the bowl of leftover rice porridge that they had specially made last night and went to the field.
There is still a small half of the land in Beihu that has not been cut, Liu Chongshan and Zhang's family went to Beihu to continue cutting, and the three sisters of the Liu family went to the nearby Donghu to cut, the wheat field in Donghu is short and narrow, and it is much easier to mow than Beihu.
The land of East Lake, next to it, coincidentally is Liu Xiaobian's land, his family only has half of it, and it was cut faster than their sisters, and it was quickly cut to the ground. Liu Guiyuan was disgusted with this family, and paid a little attention to Liu Xiaobian's family when he was cutting wheat, and found that his two twin sons always got together to talk, and always looked at her eldest sister, and let out a strange laugh from time to time.
Liu Guiyuan took a kitchen knife and went to Liu Hongzao to cut wheat and exchange with her, Liu Hongzao himself also noticed that it was a little embarrassing and unnatural, so he took the initiative to change to the outermost, far away from them. After a while, the more the brothers looked at it, the more obvious it became, and Liu Huahua also noticed it, stood up and shouted: "What are you doing here all the time?" ”
"Oh, you're talking to me? Who looks at you, I don't look at you, you think you are a fairy, you look like a toad and still want me to look at you, think beautiful! "The mouth of the boss of the Liu family is as slow and cheap as his father Liu Xiaobian, which is annoying when he hears it.
"It's like, how do you know we look at you if you don't look at us, right?"
The second child of the Liu family laughed back, so angry that Liu Huahua wanted to beat them, Liu Hongzao hurriedly stopped her and didn't ask her to go over to make trouble, Liu Guiyuan stood up, lit up the kitchen knife in his hand, and said loudly: "Second sister, don't be angry, the dog bites you, can you still bite the dog?" Let's do a good job and go home when we're done. ”
Liu Guiyuan understands it, Liu Xiaobian's family, who his wife and daughter are, she doesn't know, the father and son don't have a good thing, they love to show off if they have nothing to do, but they still have a bit of wit, so you can't help them, and you are so angry that your teeth are itching. When encountering such scoundrels, there is no good way to deal with them, either ignore them from beginning to end, or give them a lecture so that they dare not underestimate them.
But Liu Guiyuan knew in her heart that her sister was okay to work alone, and scolding and fighting was not the opponent of the Liu family twins at all, if she was really bullied and wanted to return it, she had to outwit her. Thinking of this, Liu Guiyuan's eyes rolled and she had an idea, and said to her sister that she would run home to see the lotus seeds, and trotted all the way home.
When he got home, Lianzi was playing with himself on the bed, Liu Guiyuan put his mind at ease, summoned the pink backpack he brought with him, opened the makeup bag, there was a spray bottle of toner, there was a little left, spray a little on the face to replenish the water, and then take it to the pot outside, cut some chili flakes, and finally add water to the spray bottle.
Liu Guiyuan didn't dare to leave home to cook, for fear that she would not be bullied by her two sisters, so she ran to East Lake with homemade chili water, still thinking that if the two brothers didn't talk cheaply and find trouble, she would soak in the chili water.
Who knew that when she got to the ground, she knew that she had overestimated the Liu brothers, they had a bad heart, and they deliberately cut more wheat, and the eldest sister and the second sister came to them for a theory, but they were cheeky and said that it was their own wheat.
"I said where are your eyes, here is my wheat, what's the matter with you cutting them all into your house?"
Liu Huaanhua crossed his waist, so angry that the shovel was waving, the eldest of the Liu family twins dragged her shovel, and said with a sly smile: "You said where my eyes were, I grew to your face, who called you pockmarked face, I was dazzled and cut the wrong wheat, don't you blame you?" ”
The second child of the Liu family followed behind and laughed, Liu Hongzao's face turned red, and he pulled Liu Huahua, who was about to go up and beat people, and shouted at the adults of his family: "Uncle Xiaobian, don't you care about your children?" Seeing that my family is not bullying us, my family Mai wants to take it back, but they still don't let it, why? ”
Liu Hongzao shouted loudly twice, but Liu Xiaobian kept squatting on the ground and working as if he couldn't hear it, and there was no movement. Liu Guiyuan snorted and sneered, thinking that you are a bad guy, but it is just right for you to ask your child to taste the chili water.
Puff ~ Puff - Oops - Oops......
"I blinded you both, so that you both, could not see!"
Liu Guiyuan pressed the spray vial and sprayed it at the eyes of the two of them, and before the two of them could react, they rubbed their eyes and screamed, oops, it hurts so much, what is this? You dare to spray me in the eye with dirty things, and see how I hit you.
It's a pity that their eyes were full of tears, and they couldn't see it at all, Liu Guiyuan took advantage of their inability to see, and puffed four or five times, and their eyes became even more uncomfortable. Liu Guiyuan's eyes widened, and she said to her two sisters: "Aren't you not asking us to take back the cut wheat?" Don't take it yet? After that, he pulled up the bundle of wheat tied up in their wheat field on the ground, picked up a bundle and threw it into his own field, Liu Huahua reacted the fastest, and dragged a bundle of hands into his own field, Liu Hongjube also reacted, and grabbed the wheat at home with his hands and feet.
Liu Xiaobian on the other side of the ground heard his two sons crying wolf, and hurriedly ran to this end, shouting in his mouth: "Huzi, leopard, what's wrong with you two?" ”
"Dad, I can't see in my eyes, and when I open it, it hurts, it's all caused by her."
