15 Chapter 15
"I know, thank you grandma, then I'll take the scale and weigh it, weigh it and get it back." Yibao hugged the scale, very excited, he could exchange the fruit and the egg.
"You don't need to bring it over, you have it at home, I'll get it another day." Anyway, there is no need for the time being at home, and Mother Lin is not in a hurry, "You have to be careful when you take it, you have to walk slowly, don't fall." She told a treasure.
"Got it."
In the Lin family, Ning Shu watched Erbao and Sanbao playing. Sambo was sitting on the sheet where he had sat during the day, and Erbao was playing with chestnuts. The second treasure was thrown to the place where the three treasures were, and the three treasures crawled over and picked it up, and then threw it at the second treasure. The two brothers threw it around, and this little chestnut was also played by them.
Ning Shu looked at them and sighed in his heart that he was so good and carefree when he was a child.
"Mother, I borrowed a scale from my grandmother's house, and my grandmother also taught me how to use the scale, does the pound of chestnuts you promised for a fruit still count?" Yibao asked as he gasped. He can't wait to implement it.
"Of course it counts, there are pears and apples in the sack in the kitchen, since you have learned to use scales, weigh them and get them yourself." Ning Shu said briskly.
"Hmm." Yibao picked up the chestnuts wrapped in his clothes one by one on the weighing pan of the scale.
Seeing this, Erbao squatted down and picked it up with Yibao. After all the chestnuts wrapped in his clothes were picked up on the scales, Erbao stared at them. Even Ning Shu was curious, Yibao really learned to use scales.
Then, under the gaze of Ning Shu and Erbao, Yibao weighed it seriously. His little hands were still a little shaky, he wasn't nervous when he was in the old mansion just now, but now he was so nervous. Even though he was nervous, Yibao pursed his lips and weighed out the chestnuts he had picked up.
Because the chestnuts were picked up by Erbao when he was collecting firewood, so there were not many, and after Yibao weighed it, he looked at Ning Shu: "Mother, a total of one catty, is it?" ”
Ning Shu didn't expect that Yibao would really know how to scale, and he hadn't made a mistake yet. Especially Yibao's methodical appearance, I think he is really smart. "That's right, then you can choose your own fruit first." In fact, most people harvest chestnuts by shelling, but for the sake of cheap sons, she doesn't ask them to peel the shells.
"Hey. Erbao, I'm going to choose the fruit, do you want that fragrant pear or apple? "Because the chestnuts were picked up by Erbao, Yibao asked Erbao.
"Brother, go and choose." Erbao has always listened to his brother's words.
"Then I'll go." Yibao ran into the kitchen to get the fruit.
Seeing this, Ning Shu put away the chestnuts and scales, and followed him to the kitchen. But when she went in, Yibao happened to come out with a fragrant pear, his heart was pounding, just now in the sack he secretly saw a lot of things, there are several small zongzi, and there are white ones that are long, like steamed buns and not steamed buns. The main reason is that there are no rice cakes here, and in this era when glutinous rice is expensive and rare, pounding rice cakes with glutinous rice is laborious and laborious, so many people are reluctant.
In addition to this, Yibao also saw fragrant pears and apples. There aren't a few pears left, but there are still a lot of apples. Yibao hasn't gone to school yet, so he can't count, but he knows a lot. When Yibao took the fragrant pear, he kept swallowing saliva. He hadn't eaten apples, but he could smell them all when they were so many apples together.
When my mother came, Yibao showed the fragrant pear to my mother: "Mother, I took one." "In the past, if you eat a small piece of meat, your mother will lecture, but he doesn't dare to take more pears.
Ning Shu nodded: "Yes." ”
Yibao still has a question in his little head: "...... Mother, then Erbao and I pick up chestnuts and can we exchange them for eggs? "After changing the eggs, he and Erbao and Sanbao will be able to eat, and when they see Zhuang Xiaopang, they will be able to say that they are also eating eggs.
In fact, even if the two treasures don't pick up chestnuts to exchange for eggs, Ning Shu also decided to give them an egg every morning to nourish their bodies, after all, their father will send 30 yuan every month, and it is enough for each of the three children to eat one egg a day. But since the child asked like this, she naturally wouldn't refuse: "Of course you can, didn't you just say that you can change it?" And for your sake, for my son's sake, I can give you one more fruit every day, in addition to the chestnut for the egg. "Eggs eat their father's money, and fruits are exchanged for chestnuts.
Yibao couldn't believe that his mother had to give them fruits to eat in addition to eggs. The mother also said that it was for the sake of her son, so it was also good to be the mother's son. "Thank you, mother, then Erbao and I will go pick up chestnuts tomorrow." He had to pick up more chestnuts in exchange for more eggs and fruits, and then hide them and eat them slowly.
"No thanks, you go and call Erbao and Sanbao for dinner." Ning Shu has a very good impression of a smart, sensible and responsible treasure, and is naturally willing to show patience and sincerity.
"Hey." Yibao ran out with the pear.
As soon as he ran out, Erbao, who was playing with Sanbao, saw the fragrant pear in his hand: "Brother, did your mother give it to you?" Did she really really give it to you? Erbao's expression was exaggerated and made people want to laugh. His eyes widened, as if in the blink of an eye, the fragrant pear in his brother's hand would disappear.
"Yes, my mother also said that the chestnuts we picked up can also be exchanged for eggs, and said that we are his sons, so we can give us one more fruit a day." Yibao happily shared with his younger brother, "Tomorrow I will go with you to pick up chestnuts, let's pick up more eggs and fruits, and then hide them and eat them slowly." ”
"Really? That's great. Erbao jumped up happily when he heard this, but then, he thought of something, "Brother, my mother promised us to raise chickens, but there are no chickens yet." Will she not be able to speak? ”
"I'll ask my mother later." A treasure road.
"Hmm."
Sanbao saw that the two brothers were talking, but no one paid attention to him, he crawled over angrily and arched Erbao's feet with his little head.
Erbao took a step back: "Sanbao, what are you doing?" ”
"Play." The three treasures are sonorous and powerful.
"Stop playing, my mother told us to eat." Yibao first went to the room to hide the fragrant pears, plus the two apples given by his mother after taking a bath at noon, they had three fruits, and the three of them ate one a day, and they could eat it for three days, plus the two candies they earned today...... Yibao smiled knowingly, and then went out again. He moved the basket over and put it down, allowing Sam Bao to climb in, "Sam Bao come in and let's go to eat, are you hungry?" ”
San Bao understood the little belly, and he patted it with his little hand: "I'm hungry." As he spoke, he licked his dry lips and obediently climbed into the basket.
Waiting for Ning Shu to open the dish cover on the table, bring down the egg custard, and serve everyone's sweet potato and rice porridge, Yibao and Erbao came in with Sanbao.
"It's so fragrant, what did you do, mother?" Erbao moved his nose, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the dining table.
When Yibao came in just now, the dining table was covered with a vegetable cover, there are many mosquitoes in the countryside, and there may be many insects, so the usual dining table is covered with a vegetable cover, and the vegetable cover is made of bamboo or rattan, and the weaving is very dense, so when the vegetable cover is covered, you can't see what is inside.
At this moment, the vegetable cover was opened, and Yibao also saw the things on the table. It's just that before Yibao could speak, he heard Erbao say, "Wow, there are so many eggs." ”
One Bao pulled the Second Treasure, these eggs are definitely not for them to eat, they can only look at them.
"Come over and eat." Ning Shu said, "You eat scrambled eggs, Sanbao drinks egg custard at a young age, is it okay?" With that, she went over and picked up the three treasures in the basket.
"Mother's ......" Sanbao hugged Ning Shu's neck affectionately, and buried her little face between Ning Shu's neck and rubbed it.
For Sanbao's kindness, Ning Shu just patted his little buttocks.
"Mother, can we eat eggs too?" Yibao looked at Ning Shu with big eyes, "I, Erbao and Sanbao can all eat?" "I've eaten a lot of meat at noon, but can I still eat eggs at night? Yibao has never had such a sweet dream, even daydreaming.
"Hmm...... Would you like to exchange the chestnuts you picked up tomorrow for eggs? Ning Shu asked. Babies, the life of arrears is about to begin.
"Yes, yes, yes." Erbao hurriedly sat on the stool, he first sniffed the shallots, and then sniffed the cabbage, even Sanbao's egg custard, he didn't let go.
Yibao also went over to sit down, he didn't smell it, but asked his younger brother with a blank eye: "Is it fragrant?" ”
"Incense, thief incense, more fragrant than grandma's making." Erbao swallowed. But although the food was very fragrant, he didn't eat it, but looked at Ning Shu.
Before the two treasures were eaten by their mothers, they would not eat them first, for fear of making their mothers angry, and over time, they developed this habit.
"Eat." Ning Shu sat down with Sanbao in his arms, and first used a spoon to buy a little egg custard to feed Sanbao.
The two treasures did not eat immediately, but watched the mother feed the three treasures, watched the mother blow the egg custard cold, and then fed it to the three treasures, somehow, they suddenly felt a little envious.
"Mother, when I was as young as Sambo, did you feed me egg custard?" Erbao asked innocently. My mother fed Sanbao when she was so young, and she must have fed herself when she was so young. Erbao thought stupidly.
Yibao didn't ask, but he also pricked up his ears and listened.
Ning Shu: "......" The original owner had not fed it in her memory, but looking at the two treasures looking at her with shining eyes, she couldn't even say anything negative, so she picked up a spoon of egg custard and fed it to the mouth of the second treasure, "You are a big child now, I will feed you too, come, ah......"
Erbao looked at the custard that his mother handed to his mouth, his eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell without warning.
Ning Shu was stunned, why did he cry? "Erbao, what's wrong with you?"
"I ...... I ...... "Erbao doesn't know what's wrong, he just wants to cry." He was young, and he didn't know how to describe this mood, as if he was a little happy and a little sad. Erbao, who didn't know what to do, smelled the fragrance of the custard, simply opened his mouth and ate the custard in front of him in one bite.
The egg custard entered his mouth, and the smooth, tender, and delicious taste filled his palate, and he was reluctant to swallow the delicious taste.
In fact, he has also eaten egg custard. When I go to the old house to eat, there are times when I come across there to make egg custard, but there are many people over there, and there is no one person who eats a bowl of egg custard, but this seems to be a long time ago, last month? Last month? Erbao has forgotten the taste of the custard he ate last time.
Ning Shu saw that he was stupid, so she didn't ask again, she also scooped a spoonful of egg custard for Yibao: "Come, Yibao." ”
