Chapter 33: Grandma Mai Wang
The butterfly with golden and black wings rested on the door frame, flapping its wings slightly.
There is an elegant beauty that hits the face.
Ji Yuanhai carried the cloth bag containing the monkey, next to Lu Heling, and sat on the threshold together, looking at the big butterfly.
Lu Heling came back to her senses and smiled, with a little peace of mind.
"I'm back."
"Well, I'm back."
The two looked at the butterfly and didn't speak for a while.
"It's so pretty...... Why don't you fly away? Lu Heling asked.
Ji Yuanhai shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
"When I went out, I saw a ...... that looked like it."
"It's the same one, right? It is quite rare for such a big butterfly to have such wings. Lu Heling said.
"Really...... If it's the same one, I'm quite close to this butterfly. β
Ji Yuanhai said, looking at the big butterfly that was still staying above the door frame, feeling quite relaxed.
"Go home, right?"
"Hmm."
One spoke and the other answered, got up and walked towards home.
"Yuan Hai, what are you carrying in your hand?" Only then did Lu Heling notice what Ma Hua was carrying.
MCA opened the bag and showed her.
Seeing a group of hideous monkeys with shells in the cloth bag, Lu Heling was also surprised: "This is ...... Knowing the larvae? How do you catch so much? β
She doesn't make a fuss and thinks that monkeys can't be eaten; It has been a few years since she went to the countryside, and the educated youth have also eaten most of the rural food, that is, she has not heard of the elm bark grinding noodles that Ji Yuanhai said.
It's just that I didn't expect Ji Yuanhai to catch so many monkeys.
Ji Yuanhai didn't hide it from her, and told her about taking Liu Xianglan's daughter Wang Xiaohong to catch the monkey.
Lu Heling nodded and said, "You like children?" β
"Not really...... Seeing that the child is bored, take her to play. Ji Yuanhai explained, "Several educated youths in the team site looked down on Liu Xianglan and her daughter, and thought they were noisy, so they said that they had to study for exams and needed to be quiet. β
Wang Xiaohong didn't dare to run and play, so she just sat there and watched his mother wash clothes.
Lu Heling was taken aback: "What did Cao Jianhong and the others do?" β
Ji Yuanhai nodded.
"The college entrance examination registration has long passed, what do they study and what do they take?" Lu Heling was dissatisfied, "How can you lie to others?" Orphans and widows are pitiful enough! β
"I really didn't see it before, Cao Jianhong and the others would still do this kind of thing."
"That's a bit ......"
"Okay, it's useless to think about them......" Ji Yuanhai didn't let Lu Heling say any more, "It's the college entrance examination, do you want to take the exam next year?" β
Lu Heling looked at Ji Yuanhai with a little surprise: "Are you willing to let me take the test?" β
"I'm married to you now, if you go to the college entrance examination again, will you feel ...... Am I restless to live? β
"Besides, my grandparents, my parents, and they definitely don't want to see me not participating in labor, but instead holding a book to study."
Ji Yuanhai smiled when he heard this: "You are also thinking too much. β
"Do you think I can't tolerate a female college student as a wife?"
Lu Heling looked at his unprovoked smile, and was full of emotion for a while.
In such a remote mountain village, how can there be such a man who is empathetic, supportive, and self-explanatory? He has the vision and mind that does not seem to appear in a place like the production team at all.
Fortunately, this man is already his lover.
"Yuanhai, I'm ......"
Before Lu Heling finished speaking, her grandmother walked out of the kitchen house: "Yuanhai, Heling, are you back?" β
"Well, grandma, I'm back." Ji Yuanhai promised, "Grandma, I caught some monkeys, you can see when you eat them." β
Grandma took the cloth bag and saw such a bunch of monkeys, and she was immediately overjoyed.
"So much? That's good! β
"I'm going to wash it, get some in the dish today, and salt some more, and keep it for ......"
Ji Yuan Haixin said that its practical fried oil is more delicious.
It's a pity that the conditions are limited now, and the oil in the stir-fry is a few drops, or even not put; To use oil to fry the monkey to eat, probably grandma will feel distressed about using too much oil.
handed over the monkey to grandma, Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling returned to Westinghouse.
At dinner, there is a monkey cooked together in the fried beans.
When Ji Yuanshan saw the monkey, he immediately cheered: "Do you still have meat to eat today?" Who caught the monkey? β
"Yuan Hai caught it with Heling." Grandma smiled and said, "There must be more than two bowls, and I also salted some of them, and we will keep them for slow eating in the future." β
"That's great!" Ji Yuanshan smiled at Ji Yuanhai, meaning that he did a good job.
In the past few days, there are fish and monkeys, and this food is visible to the naked eye.
My father and mother were also surprised, and my father said, "That's a lot of catches." β
Grandpa chewed a monkey and said with a smile: "Yuanhai has the ability, no wonder he got married earlier." β
"I catch a lot of fish, and I catch a lot of monkeys, and I don't see that life is too bad in the future, and he can't be hungry when people are hungry."
As soon as he said this, his grandmother echoed, "I think that's the same," and the whole family laughed.
After eating, Ji Yuanhai said: "There is a very big butterfly parked at the door of our house, have you seen it?" Did you fly away? β
As soon as the words fell, grandma stood up with a somewhat serious face: "What did you say?" β
"How big is a butterfly?"
Ji Yuanhai was surprised, but still said: "It's the size of a slap......"
"I'll have to see."
Grandma tiptoed, took the family's iron flashlight, and hurried to the gate of the courtyard.
After coming back, I couldn't hide my joy and whispered to my grandfather.
"I think it's Grandma Mai Wang!"
Grandpa's face also became serious and nodded, but he didn't say anything or do anything.
Ji Yuan Hai, Lu Heling, and Ji Yuan Mountain are all a little confused.
Including Ji Yuanhai, there has never been such a thing in my memory, why did this big butterfly still come out with a "Grandma Maiwang"?
"What's Grandma Wheat Wang?" Ji Yuanshan couldn't help but ask.
Grandma made a straight face: "Don't ask more!" Don't say more! No one in the production team said a word! β
"Don't bump into Grandma Maiwang!"
Ji Yuanshan suddenly shrank his head and said no more.
Ji Yuanhai and Lu Heling saw that their grandparents were so mysterious, and their father and mother didn't say anything, so they didn't want to ask more.
After eating, they rested all night without saying a word.
Early the next morning, my grandmother quietly went to the door and took a look, overjoyed.
"Not gone yet!"
Ji Yuanhai couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, are you talking about that butterfly?" β
Grandma corrected him very seriously: "That's Grandma Maiwang!" β
Ji Yuanhai asked again, but grandma didn't say anything.
The whistle for the work of the production team sounded, and the families began to work.
The male laborer was led by the secretary and the captain to get up the dirt and stones from the original canalβthe water in the canal had dropped a lot since the drainage of the water yesterday day, and there was no danger in doing these tasks.
The women arranged for the seedlings to be lifted in the fields, and the corn seedlings, bean seedlings, and cotton seedlings that had been washed away by the rainstorm were all supported as much as possible.
The day's work began again.
