Chapter 8: Aunt Erzhu
After tossing for most of the day, Chen really didn't want to face the bad Wang anymore, so he quickly picked up two large buckets of dirty clothes, beckoned Zhao to go to wash clothes together, and cut some grass to feed the pigs.
Chen is a person who can live, the house is well kept inside and out, not only raising two pigs, but also raising chickens, saving eggs, and selling them at the market to subsidize the family.
Qi Lele happened to want to go around, so he also carried a big bamboo basket, picked up a small shovel, and wanted to follow along.
Chen glanced at her and agreed.
Out of the courtyard gate, the quaint rural atmosphere came to her face, and as she walked, Qi Lele only felt that a picture scroll was slowly unfolding in front of her, although it was not gorgeous enough, but it was also a scene she had never seen.
The land is flat, the houses are like that, the traffic is strange, and the chickens and dogs smell each other.
The sentences in the book seem to be turned into the real scene in front of you, and everything is new to Qi Lele.
Shangxi Village is one of the villages that surrounds the foot of the mountains, and the streams on the mountains meander down to support generations of mountain residents.
Shangxi Village is a big village, there are hundreds of households, the wide stream flows along the village, and some people who are close to them also deliberately dig ditches to divert the stream water to the past, quite a kind of artistic conception of small bridges and flowing water.
Now that winter has just passed, the branches of the trees along the way have sprouted a little green shoots, revealing vigorous vitality.
The houses of each family in the village are also different, there are farmhouse courtyards surrounded by high walls, there are also single-family courtyards surrounded by fences, there are blue brick houses, and there are also gray walls, which has a unique wild interest.
Thatched huts are rare, and people who want to come to this village are living a pretty good life.
Also, where there are mountains and rivers, the products are naturally abundant, but if you are diligent and fast, life will not be sad.
When Zhao saw Qi Lele's appearance, he couldn't help asking, "Fourth sister, what are you looking at everywhere?" ”
Qi Lele smiled: "No, just take a look." ”
Spring sowing has begun one after another, and every family is busy working in the field, plus Chen doesn't want to meet others at this time, so he deliberately went around half a circle and picked a road with few people.
It was Qi Lele who followed all the way, and he didn't meet a few people, and they all carried things in a hurry, and just said hello to Chen.
When he gradually left the village, the surrounding houses became sparse, and the fields in the distance fell into Qi Lele's eyes.
Large areas of yellow-brown fields, with many black and gray figures scattered among them, like stars falling on a chessboard.
The entire village of Shangxi is surrounded by fields, and you can imagine how shocking it will be when the autumn harvest comes.
Chen took the two of them all the way to the outside of the village, the stream here is relatively gentle, and there are flat large stones on both sides of the stream, which are washed smooth and round, and I think it is the place where the big guys wash on weekdays.
Seeing a few scattered people washing from a distance, Chen said: "You two go cut some pigweed, come back to me, Siya is not well, don't be tired." ”
"I'll take care of my fourth sister."
Qi Lele also responded, and followed Zhao to continue walking.
Chen went to the stream with his clothes, and someone saw her coming and said, "Yo, isn't this everyone's!" I haven't seen you in a few days! What have you been busy with at home lately? ”
The others didn't speak, but laughed twice.
Chen Shi said angrily: "What else can you be busy with, busy marrying your daughter!" ”
"Busy marrying a daughter and still need to hire a doctor? What's wrong with Siya? ”
"It's not Siya, Xiaojin's daughter-in-law has been tired recently, please ask Dr. Liu to take a look at her."
"She didn't even go to the ground, why was she tired? I heard she was beaten? ”
Chen Shi found a flat place and put the barrel down: "You know, and you still come to ask me what to do?" ”
"Isn't this curious, the little golden daughter-in-law is so good, you can do it."
Chen said: "You don't know my temper yet? Hands are faster than brains. ”
"You are! I'm not afraid of losing my eldest grandson. ”
Chen sighed: "I really fanned it so easily, but I didn't make any effort." How did I know that her skin was so tender, so it was swollen, and when I got up in the morning, Xiaojin was startled, and I had to ask the doctor to come and see it. ”
"Your little gold is a distressed person."
"Your daughter-in-law is the daughter of the Xiucai family, the gold is expensive, and the fine skin and tender meat raised are of course different."
Chen said: "Not really. ”
There was only one woman, pouting at the corners of her mouth, but she did not make a sound from beginning to end, but knocked on her clothes with a straight face, and knocked loudly.
……
On the other end, Qi Lele followed Zhao and walked forward for a while, the vegetation became more and more dense, but they were all calf high, tender and green, and it was comfortable to look at.
Zhao said: "Let's cut it here, fourth sister, if you are tired, you can rest, I will come." ”
"Okay, I'll cut slowly."
Zhao nodded, put down the bamboo basket, took the sickle and began to work.
Qi Lele has to follow his grandmother to pick wild vegetables every year, coupled with Siya's memory, he will not be blind at this time, he sees the wild vegetables, grabs it with his left hand, and comes with a small shovel knife in his right hand.
It's just that I didn't expect that the wild vegetables picked up in the previous life to fry meat have become ingredients for feeding pigs at this time.
Looking at the large fields of dandelions and wild chrysanthemums in front of him, Qi Lele swallowed his saliva unconsciously, this tender wild vegetable and bacon, stir-fried casually is a plate of food.
But such a simple bowl of dishes has become a luxury here, after all, no one is willing to take meat to fry these. Wild vegetables without meat really don't taste very good.
Qi Lele snorted while working. After two cuts, I suddenly felt dizzy when I got up, and I almost didn't fall. She didn't dare to bend down to mow the grass anymore, so she just squatted on the ground and moved forward slowly.
This body is a bit bad, even if there are good things in the space, Qi Lele doesn't dare to let go of eating, so he can only eat secretly when no one is around.
It's just that in this way, I want to be completely well raised for a while.
Fortunately, Zhao's hands and feet were nimble, and it didn't take much effort to cut two large baskets: "Let's go." ”
Qi Lele nodded, stood up slowly, and followed behind Zhao with a bamboo basket on his back.
When the two went back, Chen's clothes had not been washed, Zhao put down the basket and consciously went over to help, Qi Lele didn't go over, just stood aside and secretly looked at a few other people, thinking about matching the number in his memory.
At this time, a woman suddenly looked up: "Siya, come and talk to your aunt." ”
Qi Lele just recognized her, she was the aunt of Chen Erzhu's family, and gave birth to a daughter and two sons, both of whom have not yet married. She and Chen are girls who married in the same village, and they are quite diligent, and Siya often played with her daughter Chun'er when she was a child.
Later, when she got older, Aunt Erzhu suddenly stopped letting Chun'er play with Siya, and said a lot of unpleasant things.
When Chen heard this, of course he was not happy, and he broke with her a few times, and the two families became estranged.
Last year, Aunt Erzhu asked a matchmaker to go to the Xie family to ask for marriage, but the Xie family refused, saying that the marriage of the children depended on his own wishes, so he almost told her directly, my son can't look down on your daughter!
For this matter, Chun'er hid at home and cried for a few months, and she was not often laughed at, so the family affairs were put aside.
Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the Xie family took the initiative to come to everyone's door, and the two families soon spread happy events.
Aunt Erzhu'er was aggrieved in her heart, not to mention that Chun'er still cries at home every day, because she splashes dirty water on Siya on weekdays, and even says that she will hook up with people when she is young, so she doesn't let Chun'er play with Siya.
At this time, Aunt Erzhu wanted to talk to Qi Lele, and she knew that there was no good word, but Qi Lele was not Siya, she took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Okay, what does Auntie want to say?" ”
This generous appearance choked Aunt Erzhu, and the others seemed to be surprised, and they all looked at it.
At this look, I found that this girl has become beautiful again! Tut-tut! No wonder the kid of the Xie family who has eyes on the top of his head can look at her!
Chen glanced at Qi Lele twice, but he didn't say anything.
Aunt Erzhu is lean and lean, the nasolabial folds on both sides of her cheeks are very deep, and it is not easy to get along with each other, she looked Qi Lele up and down before she spoke again: "Tell your aunt, how did you hook up with that Xie family boy?" Let my aunt open her eyes too. ”
Chen immediately smashed the mallet in his hand into the water, drenching half of Erzhu'er's shoes: "Mouth? Can't speak? ”
"What? Poked you in the spot? It's time to bite indiscriminately! Aunt Erzhu was borrowing the topic to play, and she immediately became popular: "I said something wrong? If it weren't for what this fox had done, Xie Zi'an would have taken a fancy to her? Shameless thing! Bah! ”
Chen was so angry that he was about to scold back, but he heard Qi Lele say slowly: "Auntie, my face is precious, how dare you not want it?" ”
Aunt Erzhu didn't expect Qi Lele to dare to interject, usually at times like this, she would have hid and secretly wiped her tears.
Qi Lele smiled brightly at her: "Look, I'm so beautiful, Xie Zi'an doesn't take a fancy to me, does he fancy Sister Chun'er?" ”
This is very heart-wrenching, Aunt Erzhu'er's face is extremely ugly, and she raised the mallet and was about to smash it on Qi Lele: "See if I don't tear your rotten mouth!" ”
Chen reacted quickly, took a few steps forward to open the mallet in Erzhu'er's hand, grabbed it and threw it into the water: "Are you dead to be an old lady?" Why, just let you sit here and fart, my daughter can't tell the truth? ”
Aunt Erzhu was so angry that she raised her foot and kicked Chen's body: "I'm not telling the truth? If this slut hadn't used some indiscriminate means, Xie Zi'an would have been able to marry her? I don't spill urine either! ”
There were no outsiders who saw Siya jumping into the lake that day, and only the Chen family found that something was wrong that day, and the big guy didn't know that Chen was pulling Xie Zi'an to force him to marry Siya, but Siya used some method to hook up with Xie Zi'an, so that the Xie family came to the door to propose.
At this time, Aunt Erzhu scolded Siya, but in Chen's ears, it seemed to be fanning her face, after all, she was the one who used the means!
"I'm used to you!"
Seeing that Aunt Erzhu made the first move, Chen was accustomed to not being afraid, and immediately slapped over, but in the blink of an eye, the two scuffled.
Qi Lele: "......"
