Chapter 29: Goodong
On May 5th, the sky was clear, and the poplar flowers were crying around the river.
The wild wharf in the early morning is lively and busy, most of the people have a boat to collect the net, today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the early to collect the net and go to the market earlier, maybe today's fish price can be sold for a few pennies more.
There are only three boats left on the wharf now, and in the morning, Lu Quan and Chen Ping'an next door went to the wharf to carry their bags after collecting the fishing nets, just waiting for the sun to come out today, and the fishing nets will be dried and mended.
There is also a boat belonging to Li Cancan's family, Li Cancan's father Li Sixi and Li Cancan's eldest brother Li Tantan collected the fishing net and went to fish for eels.
During the festival, the price of eel harvested in Laifushun is a few cents higher than usual.
Early in the morning, Lu Xiaoyu was coiled in the bow of the boat and hugged the wooden bowl at home, facing the fishing boat of the Li Cancan family.
Her family wrapped zongzi last night, put them in a pot to boil, and left the bottom fire in the pot to simmer overnight, and opened the lid in the early morning, which was full of aroma.
The aroma of rice dumplings mixed with the aroma of wild duck eggs envelops the entire wild pier in it.
Now Lu Xiaoyu is wearing a string of colorful ropes in his hands, holding a wooden bowl in his arms, and the rice dumplings and duck eggs in the wooden bowl are sitting cross-legged in the bow of the boat, just waiting for the plum cans to come out of the cabin.
She wanted him to show that she had zongzi, salted duck eggs, and the most beautiful colorful ropes.
Well, in this life, not only has she never eaten a dumpling wrapped in white glutinous rice, but she has never seen such a beautiful colorful rope.
The sun rose little by little, and Aunt Li boiled the corn porridge and shouted twice in her throat.
In the end, it was Aunt Li who ran into the cabin herself, pulled Li Cancan's ears, and dragged him up from the bed.
Li Pot was dragged out of the bed by his mother, sleepy-eyed and naked, standing barefoot on the side of the boat, stabbing at the river is a big bubble of hot urine.
After peeing, Li Cancan yawned and walked to the bow of the boat, and accidentally aimed at the small fish on the opposite boat.
Seeing Lu Xiaoyu's eyes blazing, even when he saw him peeing, he looked shameless.
Li Cancan immediately jumped to his feet: "Xiaoyu, you are not ashamed, watch people pee." ”
The children in the countryside have grown up together with bare feet and mud since they were young, and they have always been honest with each other.
Only the girls of the Lu family, no matter how bad the conditions are since they were young, the Qiu family has to sew a gown and pants for them before they are allowed to go out.
This is also the reason why Li Cancan is always aimed at Lu Xiaoyu, why everyone is almost the same, but I have to wear clothes when I am naked.
"Humph......"
Lu Xiaoyu shook his head arrogantly and snorted, what is there to see, like an earthworm, ugly to death.
Originally, the two ships were the closest, but yesterday Aunt Li and Li Cancan came back with a basket of unsold reed leaves and rocked the boat to the other side of Brother Zhang's house.
When Li Cancan came out to pee, he was on the edge of the cabin, with his back to Lu Xiaoyu, and across the boat of Brother Zhang's house in the middle, Lu Xiaoyu may not have seen him peeing.
But Li Cancan and Lu Xiaoyu have a deep grudge, from the beginning of a baked cake to the day before yesterday, the two have formed a deep hatred.
If you can taunt the small fish on the land, Li Cancan will naturally not let it go.
Li Cancan still wants to scream, it's best to call out the group of friends who run crazy together all day, and everyone laughs at Lu Xiaoyu together. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoyu didn't pay attention to him at all, raised his hand and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his right hand tied with colorful threads. Slowly took out a salted duck egg from the bowl in his arms, looked at it and sniffed it, put it back, and took out another zongzi.
Salted duck eggs? Zongzi?
The eyes of the plum cans are straight, and they also have wild duck eggs at home, as long as you are lucky, go to the river beach and run a few more times, and you can always pick up a few wild duck eggs and come back.
But Lu Xiaoyu just took out not only duck eggs, but also zongzi.
That's something their family has never had before.
Li Cancan rubbed his eyes, stood on tiptoe and tried to see whether the zongzi in Lu Xiaoyu's hand was really a zongzi.
He didn't believe it, why did her family have zongzi after eating fat intestines.
It's a fake rice dumpling.
Definitely, definitely false.
When the poor have a Dragon Boat Festival and no glutinous rice, they wrap a few empty rice dumplings in a pot of wild vegetables and boil them in a dumpling leaf.
In this way, the wild vegetable porridge is stained with the fragrance of zongzi leaves, which is also considered a festival.
Before Li Cancan could speak, he saw that the fourth child of the Lu family was also holding a wooden bowl and sat next to Lu Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, why don't you eat it?"
Lu Yangge never called Lu Xiaoyu's third sister, and Lu Xiaoyu didn't care about this.
Lu Yangge raised the peeled zongzi in his hand in front of Lu Xiaoyu: "Taste mine." ”
The white zongzi, with faint red spots faintly visible inside, are either red beans or red dates.
In the early morning sun, the white rice dumplings wrapped in red beans glow seductively.
There was nothing else in Li Cancan's eyes, but he felt that he was afraid that he had never seen such a beautiful zongzi in his life.
"Eat, I have."
Lu Xiaoyu showed her the zongzi in the bowl, she had it, but she was reluctant to peel it off, reluctant to eat it.
Lu Yangge handed it to Lu Xiaoyu's mouth again: "You taste mine, my mother has breaded red beans in it, and I also dipped a little brown sugar just now, which is fragrant and sweet." ”
"Boom." Li Cancan swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.
Lu Xiaoyu still wanted to refuse, but when she caught a glimpse of the straight-eyed plum can, she couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth.
The sweetness of the glutinous rice, mixed with the fragrance of the dumpling leaves, Lu Xiaoyu dreamed and took a small bite.
Well, it's glutinous and sweet.
Lu Xiaoyu couldn't describe the feeling in his mouth, he felt that the whole person was floating in the clouds in a trance.
It's like a dream.
"Boom."
Li Cancan on the opposite side watched Lu Xiaoyu take a bite on the white and chubby zongzi, and couldn't help but swallow a second mouthful of saliva, and tears of anger fell from the corners of his mouth.
Lu Xiaoyu eats zongzi, it's a real zongzi.
What does zongzi taste like?
There are red beans and brown sugar, which must be sweet!
Li Cancan couldn't help but secretly hate himself in his heart, when his mother bought him a baked cake, if he was willing, he would give Lu Xiaoyu a small piece to taste.
Now, Lu Xiaoyu will definitely let him taste the taste of zongzi.
When he was a child, he picked up wild fruits in the wild and couldn't finish them and gave them to Lu Xiaoyu to eat, and Lu Xiaoyu turned his head to fry small yellow croaker at home, and he would also give him two.
They were supposed to be good friends!
Lu Yangge saw that Lu Xiaoyu was in a daze when he took a bite of the zongzi, and he didn't continue to persuade him.
Everyone has zongzi, one for each person.
Yesterday, she bought glutinous rice for the money from the sale of mat grass and zongzi leaves, thirty-seven yuan, and only bought less than half a catty of glutinous rice, and a small handful of red beans.
That's it, and Lu Xiaoli complained all the way.
In the end, he was scolded by Lu Xiaoyu: "If you feel sorry for money, then don't eat zongzi, and I'll make up your copper coins for you next time you make money." ”
Lu Xiaoli shut up stupidly.
She also wanted to eat zongzi, but she felt even more distressed about the thirty-seven copper coins that were spent by Xiaosi.
Why is Xiao Si such a loser, there was still a little left yesterday, and there is nothing left today.
Lu Yangge took a bite of zongzi and duck eggs, and after eating the zongzi and duck eggs in his hand, he saw that Lu Xiaoyu was still holding a bowl and didn't move, so he couldn't help but pound her with his elbow.
"Eat, why don't you eat."
"I, I can't bear to eat."
Lu Xiaoyu looked at the zongzi in his hand, and there were faint tears flashing in his eyes.
After Xiaosi came back, it seemed that the life at home was getting better and better, and she was like a dream in the past two days.
At this moment, she just wanted this dream to last a little longer, and never wake up.
