Chapter 70: The Battle for a Pheasant
A few people were so excited that they put scorpions in the jar, and counted them, and there were really four hundred and thirty-two, plus the two nights around, it was estimated that there were a thousand.
He Zao said: "Our honeysuckle is not many miles, let's sell the scorpion tomorrow, and it is not safe to put it at home!" ”
Originally, she planned to put it in Ah Che, but now that the matter of circling the scorpion has been known by the family, it doesn't matter where it is placed, so they didn't tell He Laosan about Ah Che.
"Yes, the guy at the pharmacy said that the price of scorpions would be higher in two days, but our sister-in-law and milk are at home, so let's sell them as soon as possible." Sibao also nodded.
He Laosan happened to say a few words to Chen, and when he heard that the babies didn't trust his mother and sister like this, he felt a little uncomfortable.
"Dad, I boiled water for you, and I also mentioned it later, it's hot, and I'm not afraid of being cold!" He Chun'er smiled and handed over the clean clothes: "Dad, go wash it, look at the sweat on this face!" ”
In fact, not only are there sweat on their faces, but there are also leaves hidden in their hair.
He Zao also felt that he was sweating, and took his clothes: "I'll go wash too." ”
I slipped through the smoke and went to the backyard.
The backyard is large, there are a few dilapidated houses, and the He family cleaned up two rooms as bathing rooms, and when it comes to winter, it is a place to store mountain goods.
Nothing was said all night.
When he got up the next morning, He had already heard the noise outside, and Mrs. He's loud voice almost didn't overturn the roof: "Why is she so blessed, more blessed than her in-laws, not to mention two eggs a day, this whole chicken has to be stewed for her, the third child, you really lose your conscience!" It doesn't matter if your old son will be starved to death, but kiss your daughter-in-law vigorously! ”
Pro, in the common saying, means to love and pamper.
He Laosan's cowardly voice came, low, and very weak: "Mother, this is what she picked up on the mountain yesterday, and my father also said that he would give her mother stewed soup......
"Phew! She has to give your daughter-in-law what she picked up? What kind of truth is this! Is your daughter-in-law the emperor or the queen mother, how can she be so delicate? Fourth, this pheasant is better than the domestic chickens, and there is energy in eating people, you shouldn't go to the ground first, pack up and send it to your second brother, a large family is crowded in that town, and life is hard! We can't help anything, but we can still give a little bit of game in the mountains! ”
He Zao's action of dressing paused, and then he sped up again, braided his hair back indiscriminately, and went out.
When the courtyard was down, except for Boss He, the rest of the people in the big house were watching the excitement, and He Laosan squatted at the threshold with his head down, how to look at how he felt cowardly. And He Laosi was a little embarrassed, frowning and silent.
He didn't want to mix more things in the matter of the third room, but his mother's approach was too partial.
He Chun'er and Sibao both dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
He Zao swept around, and when he didn't see the figure of Old Man He, he knew that he had gone to the ground, so Old Mrs. He dared to be so unscrupulous.
She glanced at He Laosan emphatically, and the other party lowered his head and couldn't see the look on his face clearly.
"Milk, this is early, what are you arguing about? I've been woken up by you! She yawned and grinned.
Mrs. He looked at her angrily: "What time is this day, you shouldn't get up yet, lazy girl!" ”
"Morning, you're awake, quick, go to the kitchen with your eldest sister to make breakfast, this person is still waiting to go to the ground, and your father will eat a bowl of leftovers and leave! I did it last night! ”
Ma Shi was busy, she scolded all night, and when she got up in the morning, she heard that He Chun'er and He Zao were going to do housework for Chen's family, and she was very happy. She doesn't care whether two small girls can cook a big pot of rice, as long as she doesn't let her do it!
Mrs. He's expression was a little unhappy, but she also knew Ma's temperament, so she glared at her fiercely and scolded He Zao: "Hurry up and cook with your sister, don't pestle here!" ”
He Zao's feet were like nails stuck in the ground, he didn't move, he only smiled with a small face: "Milk, I'll go after talking about this, I took this pheasant back from the mountain, and the master is going to say that he wants to use it for his mother's body, what can I do if the second uncle eats it?" If you don't win, you will take the money to buy one for my mother? ”
Mrs. He almost didn't jump up, her eyes widened: "You dead girl wants to eat meat and eats crazy, and you want me to pay for it for you, thinking more beautiful than pies falling from the sky!" ”
Indeed, the He family believes that even if pies fall from the sky, they don't believe that Mrs. He will take the initiative to take the money out to buy things.
Mrs. He wants to be a door-picker.
He Zao still smiled sweetly: "Why do you want to use this pheasant as a favor if you don't buy the milk, you feel sorry for the second uncle, you can't buy it with your own money!" The second uncle is a scholar, if he knew that this was food taken from the mouth of the sick third aunt, he would definitely be uncomfortable eating! ”
Mrs. He was very angry, but she didn't know what to refute, and she pointed at He Zao and scolded: "You wild girl who doesn't go up or down, I think you just owe a lesson!" Third, you just look at her and talk to me! ”
He Zao smiled, lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes: "Milk, yesterday thanks to my eldest brother, my mother has already taught me a lesson." Dad, that pheasant was specially brought back by me for my mother......"
Her voice was low, as if she contained infinite grievances.
He Laosan naturally thought of yesterday's false alarm, and the balance was completely tilted, and he forgot that when He Zao came back yesterday, he didn't know that Chen vomited blood: "Mother, this pheasant is a piece of Zao'er's heart, this baby is sensible, or, second brother, if you want to eat chickens, when will I have time to hunt another one?" ”
"You've got a fart ability, you thought that wild thing with wings was stupid and waiting for you to go to the table!" Mrs. He was so angry that she was about to go crazy.
He Laosi spoke: "Mother, isn't it just a chicken, the third brother can't hunt, I went into the mountains, but I can catch one or two, this one will be eaten by the third aunt." ”
Mrs. He looked left and right, He Tanger's girl was still sleeping, and none of the rest was willing to help her, she suddenly felt sad and howled: "My life is hard, I raised ......"
"!" He Zao's voice was much brighter than hers: "The master also said that he would give the two of them eggs every day, if you don't give it together, there will be thirty eggs in half a month, and I will go get the basket!" ”
As he spoke, he turned around and ran.
Thirty eggs, that is, thirty dollars, that really killed her!
Mrs. He didn't care about crying, jumped to He Zao with her little feet, pointed to her bitter and hateful appearance, and spit splashed in her mouth: "You turtle cub, little turtle claws, how can your hands splash, you dare to move me to lay eggs!" Your mother has chickens to eat, what are you going to eat eggs for, it's a pure waste! ”
He Zao also exceeded everyone's expectations, blinked his eyes, and smiled obediently: "Zhong, then listen to the milk." ”
Mrs. He felt that there was something wrong with her ears.
However, she didn't dare to entangle with He Zao anymore, and met her smiling and knowing gaze, she always felt that if she mentioned the matter of the pheasant again, He Zao would definitely argue with her about the egg problem, and she couldn't talk about the little girl.
She snorted coldly and beckoned He Laosi to follow her into the upper room.
Here He Laosan looked at He Zao with some complexity and discomfort, this little girl who dared to compete and dare to argue with her milk, sighed lightly: "Zao'er, ......"
There was no one else in the yard, just his own sister and brother, He Zao looked at him calmly, his voice calm and clear: "Dad, let's split up!" ”
