"Mother, did you and your father buy this? It's so fragrant and delicious! ”

"People gave it, we sold the fish to an old lady who had a long life, her family is a big family, and she likes to get good things and is happy to reward people, which is also the style and rules of the rich family to show the hairpin family."

The stone touched his head and didn't understand.

"When you grow up, you'll understand when you beg for a living on your own, go to bed after eating!"

After hearing this, Cao Mozi put down the bowl in a daze, went into the house and fell asleep.

"Go to sleep, too! I'll wash the pots and pans," Zhou Xingping got up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table.

"Don't be in a hurry to wash the dishes first, go and give the things that are divided from the pot house to your father, and the meat is too."

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just throwing a lot of skin and should be filial to my elders, can I still do a loss of courtesy? ”

Zhou Xingping silently took out his purse from his arms and handed her a bunch of money.

Shui Qinghuan happily took the money and took the lamp into the house to look at the money, there were forty-six taels in the purse, sixteen taels more than she expected, she cracked her mouth and was stupid for a long time, and after laughing, she put the money and hid it, and fell asleep.

"What is this? Did you sell your fish? Father Zhou came out with his clothes draped and looked at his third son.

"I sold it, and I bought it for a big family's birthday, and these things are also rewarded, so I gave you and your mother a taste."

"How much did it sell? I'll just take one box, and you can take the meat and the other two boxes back to the stones for them to eat. ”

Zhou Xingping directly stuffed the food box into his father's hand, "The money is all taken by Shui Qing and he doesn't show me the money, saying that I can see the money and give it to the eldest brother and second brother, and the things are also sent by her, if I take it back, ......" Zhou Xingping turned around and left after speaking.

Father Zhou looked at his son who was leaving, and there was a lot more helplessness in his eyes.

"His father? What did San'er send over, and you want to give it in the middle of the night? ”

Father Zhou turned his head and handed the things to Mother Zhou, and went into the house and lay down.

"Oops! It's all good stuff! Daddy, look! Zhou's mother exclaimed in a low voice.

Father Zhou ignored her, turned over and fell asleep in a cranky way.

Zhou Xingping walked on the way back, looked up at the starry sky and smiled unconsciously, his eyes seemed to have a lot of hope for life, compared to the previous dry pool, he seemed to have the hope of living again, and he was extremely happy and happy when he returned home to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

Zhou Xingping's home once again fell into a quiet and happy night.

Shui Qing got up in the morning to see that the sky was gloomy, and there was a possibility of heavy rain at any time, so he hurriedly came to the back of the house with a basket to pick up fish, and saw Zhou Xingping flying with a dirty face!

"How many pits are still missing?"

"The last pit," Zhou Xingping raised his head and looked, and continued to lie on the ground to get the fish out.

Shui Qing put down the empty basket, picked up the basket on the ground and ran home.

"Third sister-in-law, can you put these fish together?" Lotus ran over without combing her hair, and picked up a bamboo pole to stuff fish in the basket.

"It's time to pick it up," Shui Qing replied, turning his head and running to the back of the house.

Don't worry about the door, she is bent on moving all the prepared fish into the house and putting it away, this is all the money in hand, and it took half an hour to get the things at the door clear.

Lotus patted her body and prepared to go home to wash.

"Lotus, you can wash up here! I'll get you two clothes to try later. ”

"No need sister-in-law, I have clothes to wear."

"You come with me," Shui Qing pulled her into the house, and opened the big burden given by the family yesterday, and there were six or seven sets of folded clothes stacked inside, looking red and willow green, and the clothes were all of fine fabrics.

"This set of apricot red hydrangeas is for you, and this set of red peach blossoms is also for you, and that set of pink sunset flowers and water red and blue hydrangeas are for your sister to wear."

Lotus took the clothes and felt them slippery and soft, and her hands could feel the rough scratches of her hands when she touched the fabric.

"This dress looks so good! The material is so soft to the touch! ”

Shui Qing shook off the apricot blossom and put it on for her, wearing a little bigger, isn't this only fifteen years old? It's going to grow up, and it's not going to be worn right away.

"The color of the clothes matches you very well, and it is a good time for you to wear them tomorrow and the year after."

Lotus was buttoned up by Shui Qing and couldn't wait to run out, came to the water's edge and looked at the water for a long time, and was reluctant to touch the clothes with her own hands.

"Third sister-in-law, I like this apricot blossom and I want it, and the red one is left for you to wear."

Shui Qing smiled when he heard this, folded the clothes he picked out neatly, took out a small bag and put it in to tie it, "It's too flowery to wear, I go out of the lake every day to fish and wear it, so it's easy to break my mouth." ”

"What kind of is this our own clothes? I think they just can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour. ”

"You will take this burden with you when you go back, and I will keep the remaining three sets and change them to Cao Mozi to wear, she is still a little girl, and she can't be the same as us every day, and she wears the same as grandma."

"Several sets of clothes were given to us at once, and the third sister-in-law, you don't have one of your own......

"It's also a good mood for people's birthdays, wearing it is not as comfortable as me wearing coarse clothes, the clothes are too good, and it's inconvenient to do things," Shui Qing pursed his lips and waved his hand indifferently.

"Go comb your hair and prepare for dinner, yesterday I went to someone's house to deliver fish, and we brought back the white steamed buns with our backs for a meal, but unfortunately the white rice is not easy to bring back, or you can still eat white rice this morning."

"I also love to eat white steamed buns, and my family can't eat a white flour bun all year round!" Lotus happily tied her hair with a comb and went out to the lake to wash her face and rinse her mouth.

Shui Qing came to the pot house to see the hot steamed buns that the two children were busy with, "Go and call you, your father is back for dinner, it looks like it will rain heavily today, and the fish in the lake can't be dried out of the sky if they are not washed." ”

"I'm going to call Daddy back," the stone said as he sped out.

Shui Qing took the empty basin and put a bag of steamed buns into it, and brought out a plate of red hooves and a duck with sauce.

The grass foam looked around the table and wanted to get in, and the saliva on the side of his mouth was about to flow into a river.

"Hurry up and go over to wash the grass foam, I already opened the meat once last night," Shui Qing's words began to become serious.

Cao Mozi looked at Shui Qing with blank eyes, and saw that she didn't look like she was usually kind and pleasant, so she didn't dare to look at it and turned her head and ran to the lake to wash her face.

Lotus didn't say anything when she saw it.

"The child's heart is smart, if you don't teach harshly, she will grow up by her own heart, and she will slowly become older and her personality will not be able to teach, so much meat is eaten when it is hot, why do you have to do this style?" Shui explained lightly, and then took a knife to cut the big hooves into a good clip.

"Third sister-in-law, you are a good person, you are also for the good of Caomozi, I can understand you."

Zhou Xingping walked in, looked at the girl who was washing in the distance, and didn't speak.

"The girl still has to be taught by her mother, and the grass wool and foam of the eldest brother's family cannot be compared, the sister-in-law just blindly beats her and makes her work, and the food and drink at home are eaten by the two sons."

"As long as the grass flocculates to eat at my house, it is like a robber, a dish is eager to take the head and pour it into it to be satisfied, once in my house to eat fish there is a big thorn did not spit out, she ate fast and urgently, her throat and eyes were too thin and stuck, choked and rolled her eyes, and did not scare my mother to death on the spot."

Shui Qing smiled and didn't answer her.

The two children washed up and couldn't wait to run in and sit, Shui Qing took the basin and divided two white-flour steamed buns in each bowl, and sandwiched a large piece of the drawn meat for everyone.

She first gave her two legs to the child for a plate of sauce duck, a lotus flower for her wings, and a body and head for Zhou Xingping.

"I can't get enough of the steamed buns and the black buns," she said, turning her head and placing a steaming bowl of steamed buns on the table.

The good meat dishes were evenly divided, and there was still a bowl left for them to bring back, and they didn't have enough to eat and filled a little by themselves.

"Hmmm! Is this steamed bun so delicious? It smells sweet and fragrant with white flour! Lotus took a bite, and immediately smiled.

"I'm still afraid of letting go of the rancid, I came back last night and put it in the water, thinking that there should be no problem overnight, and I feel a little bad when I get up in the morning, but fortunately it doesn't hinder eating."

"I didn't feel bad when I ate it," Lotus said with a smile.

"Me too," Stone devoured the duck leg, his mouth covered with sauce and a happy smile on his face.

Zhou Xingping rarely had a smile on his face, and he was not dumbfounded and expressionless all day long.

"Cao Mozi, you eat slowly, no one will rob you," Shui Qing stretched out her hand and kept smoothing her back, got up and poured a bowl of water in front of her, and Cao Mozi was choked for a long time before she came to her senses.

Shui Qing reached out and took another clean steamed bun from her bowl to Lotus.

"Mother, I haven't eaten enough......"

"Really? And what's the white piece behind your bowl? Shui Qing pointed at the half steamed bun she threw with a quick child.

"I'm giving grass foam half a steamed bun......"

"No need for lotus, Mozi will pick up your half steamed bun and eat it," Zhou Xingping said rarely, and he looked at the child without smiling at the moment.

Cao Mozi's tears swirled in her eyes, and she timidly picked up half of the steamed buns behind her hidden bowl, the dishes in the bowl had been eaten, the child's small stomach was not big, a large piece of meat and a duck leg with steamed buns could be full, but she was greedy for meat, so the steamed buns were eaten and lost.

"Yesterday at noon, your mother was still thinking about you when she ate, we looked at the face of Hanako, and carried the white-flour steamed bun back, what is the reason why you eat half and throw half away?"

Shui Qing saw that their father and daughter didn't intervene, got up and put a few pieces of meat in her bowl for Cao Mozi.

"This steamed bun is gone after eating, we can't afford to eat it if you want to eat it in the future, a bowl of fine noodles costs 20 yuan, a steamed bun costs 1 penny, you don't eat it to go back and throw it away or keep it, the steamed bun can be spoiled before noon and can't be eaten, so it is a waste to waste food."

"Your sister-in-law and your father are still reluctant to eat tightly for you, eat all the meat and steamed buns in the bowl, it's okay if you can't eat it slowly," Shui Qing reached out and touched her head, it's useless for you to talk about five or six-year-old children, and she can't understand what you say.

"How many pieces of meat do the stones give you?"

"Okay," the stone pushed the bowl to the center of the table, Shui Qing gave him a few pieces of meat, poured the rest half for Lotus, and then pushed them all to Zhou Cripple, "Finish all the dishes," said and pushed the black flour bun over.

"Third sister-in-law, you can pick up some food from my bowl," Lotus pushed the bowl to Shui Qing.

"I'm full, the poor open meat in the morning, and I'm tired of eating it," after speaking, he stuffed the last mouthful of steamed buns into his mouth, got up and poured a big bowl of water and drank it for a long time.

"I'm done eating, too," Stone wiped his mouth and put down the bowl.

"You brothers and sisters eat slowly, accompany the grass foam to eat the steamed buns, and when it rains outside, I will go and drag the boat up."
