21. Excuse me
They were really happy to hear the words of the village chief's wife, and there were a lot of half rabbits that could satisfy the family's hunger.
But I felt embarrassed when I thought of what I had promised before, but I couldn't say anything when I looked at the fat hare on the ground and refused.
"That...... Auntie, how embarrassed you are! These are the hard work of the brocade girl and her mother. "Rao is Sun Tujia's thick-skinned face is also a little embarrassed, and Ai Ai Dao is expected.
"You don't want it...... No, I'll give it to someone else. The old woman smiled deliberately.
"Don't, hehe...... My aunt has said it, how dare I disobey! Want...... I want to ......" Sun Tujia was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said.
Although the farm has just passed, and the family has just seen the meat for a long time, but after a farm rush, the already thin family members are even thinner, even if they are cheeky.
Besides, she has always been thick-skinned.
Sun Tujia's anxious appearance successfully made everyone laugh, and the moment of embarrassment or anything was gone.
"Okay, that's it, you all come to my house to carry rabbit meat when you go back" and then looked at Xiaoxiao and Huahua, "You two girls go too." The old woman added.
"Thank you, auntie."
"Thank you, Grandma, Village Chief"
When everyone heard that there was no one who was unhappy, they quickly thanked them, including the two little girls, and they were very grateful.
Originally, these hares were not caught by them, that is, the village chief's aunt was benevolent, otherwise they would not dare to say anything if they were not given to them.
Here, Liu looked at the two rabbits he caught, gritted his teeth and said, "Auntie, or I will take out one and share it together." ”
Looking at Liu's old woman, she nodded in her heart, this mother-in-law is a good woman in her heart, but she thinks of a few boys in her family and pouts her head.
is the so-called half-grown son who eats Lao Tzu to death, not to mention that the two big ones in her family are also facing the problem of saying kiss, and they are really anxious.
"No, that's enough." The old woman shook her head
"Yes, yes, my aunt's here is enough for us to share, thank you for your kindness."
The situation of every family in the same village is clear, and the family is not having a good time, and the sons of the Liu family are really sad.
Liu's is also a cool temperament, just now I just felt that my aunt had divided everything she caught in order for the big guys to eat rabbit meat, and she was a little embarrassed for a while.
After all, she caught two too.
Seeing that everyone was really not greedy, he nodded immediately when he thought of his own situation.
Two live hare can still be sold for dozens of copper plates in the market, enough to eat at home for many days.
"Okay, I'm not polite to you, you also know the situation of my family." Liu immediately laughed.
Hearing this, everyone smiled kindly.
So what were you waiting for, I packed up and put the rabbit in the basket and hurried down the mountain.
Except for a few who had caught rabbits, the others went straight to the village chief's house.
It's the best house in their village.
After the farm is busy, the family's land has been replanted, and it is not as busy as usual.
Hua Chengtian is a good hand in addition to farming, but also learned a good carpentry work with his grandfather's family, and usually takes over the work of the village or several surrounding villages when he is idle, earning not much but enough to earn a pen and paper for the children, otherwise it is really difficult to support two children to go to school only by relying on the land at home.
The two people who were measuring the wood in the yard watched the old woman (mother-in-law) and others rush open the door and come in, all of them were excited, and the two of them were a little confused.
"Daddy, hurry up, stop working, and Chengtian will clean up these rabbits."
As soon as the old woman came in, she shouted to the two men under the shed by the west wall.
"Daddy, Daddy, we've caught a lot of rabbits." Xiao Si excitedly ran to the shed and pointed to the small back basket on his body to signal his father and grandfather to look.
The father and son hurriedly put down the work in their hands, and Hua Chengtian took the back basket on his son's body and looked inside.
Not to mention, there are really rabbits, but there are a few little rabbits in the son's basket, and they are holding the grass to nibble at the moment.
Hua Chengtian couldn't help but smile, "Little four, it's too small, it's not enough to stuff your teeth." ”
"Dad, why are you so cruel, my sister said that these rabbits are too small to eat." Xiao Si looked at his father in surprise and hurriedly protected a few little rabbits in the basket.
Here, the old woman took everyone to the courtyard and put the basket on her back on the ground.
"Okay, how old is it to tease your son, hurry up and skin these rabbits, I'm still waiting to share them with everyone."
As he spoke, he took out two fat rabbits from his back basket, and they weighed more than ten pounds with the naked eye.
The others also took out the rest one after another, looking forward to it.
Their village lives on the edge of the mountains, but there are really not many times when they can catch live wild animals, so there are only a few people in the village who can skin them.
Good guy, looking at the six or seven big hares on the ground, even Hua Laohan, who is the village chief, can't help but be calm.
Walked quickly to the old woman's side and pointed, "You caught these?" ”
His eyes were full of disbelief.
Where is the prey on the mountain easy to catch, and the hunters in the village may not be able to catch so much when they go up the mountain, looking at the women and children in the yard, it is not strange that the old man will be surprised.
"Why, can you still have a fake after bringing it back? Don't ink, hurry up and pack it out. The old woman glared at the old man and gave him a look to look back if he had anything to say.
Here, Hua Chengtian had already gone back to the room to get tools, a knife specially used to peel wild things, which was much smaller and sharper than the kitchen knife used at home.
"Mother, what do you say?" Hua Chengtian looked at the hare on the ground with a good look, although he wondered like his father, but he has always been a person who can hold his breath.
I saw that the old woman took two from the ground and pointed to the remaining four "all peeled off".
Two children, five women, and four were enough.
Understood that Hua Chengtian didn't talk nonsense, and went to the backyard with a few rabbits, Hua Laohan hurriedly followed, but he didn't forget to bring a knife.
There will be extra knives at home, because the father and son want to improve the life of the family, and they will go to the back mountain to see when they are free, and they bought these two knives for safety, and they can usually defend themselves.
As the owner, Qi put down his things and hurried to the stove room to get less water, and after a while, he came out with water.
Those who come are all guests, and the number of courtesies should not be less.
"Come on, come on, drink some water first."
After tossing outside for a while, everyone was really a little thirsty, and when they saw Qi Shi coming out with water, they were not polite, and they drank it one after another.
Hua Jin took his younger brother to move out all the vultures in the family, and then the sister and brother were praised by everyone again.
What is sensible, what is well taught, in short, they are all good words, and the old woman Qi has been laughing with relish.
Talking and laughing, the old woman couldn't help but look at the backyard when she looked at Sun Tujia, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I can't help it?" ”
"Auntie is still your fiery eyes, it's rare for me to see meat, and I really can't help it, haha......" said and laughed first.
"You! I dare to say that our village is thick-skinned, if you talk about the first, no one dares to talk about the second. ”
"I'm praising me when I'm an aunt, as the saying goes, a good face eats a piece of meat, and you can't eat meat right away."
