Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 2

It took Ye Xiaoqiao a long time to wash the clothes, took the mallet and put it in the wooden basin, and it took a lot of strength to pick it up. After walking for a while, he was out of breath, and then came back from washing clothes by the river Seeing Xiaoqiao like this, Xiaoqiao's aunt Ertang hurriedly helped Xiaoqiao support the wooden basin.This aunt Ertang is the daughter-in-law of the grandfather's family, and she is very warm-hearted, so Xiaoqiao hurriedly thanked Aunt Ertang.

Aunt Ertang said: "Why do you wash clothes by yourself, where is your sister Xiaofeng?"

"She went to help landlord Zhang's house," Ye Xiaoqiao said.

"So it's like this, girl Xiaofeng still doesn't like doing housework." Aunt Ertang smiled and shook her head.

In fact, Ye Xiaoqiao doesn't like to do these housework. My sister Xiaofeng always says that grandma is eccentric, and I'm not wrong. My sister-in-law is older than them, but she doesn't touch her fingers. As for these granddaughters, they didn't pay much attention to them.Even her own granddaughter, Mai Mai, is the same.

Mai Mai is Tan Niu's eldest daughter. She is ten years old this year. Isn't she going to go to the field as well?But Ye Xiaoqiao's sister-in-law, Ye Huier, has never done farm work. Mrs. Guo said, in the future, she will tell Ye Huier to go to a good family in the city. How can she be so rough?

Well, these granddaughters are up to you.

But everyone knows that the Guo family wants to be a dote on the pair of children born later. I don't know if it is because she has status in the family after giving birth to Ye Xiaoqiao's fourth uncle and sister-in-law, or because of other things. For some reason, the family members are not as favored as they are.

Everyone didn't go to school, but Ye Xiaoqiao's fourth uncle, Ye Gen, was still studying.Guo always said that when she was pregnant with her fourth uncle, she dreamed of the Wenqu star in the sky, and she was born a son. If he didn't study, he would be sorry to his ancestors.

Ye Xiaoqiao's grandfather also felt sorry for Yao'er. When he was seven years old, he sent him to study. No, he is now fifteen. He said he was going to take the county exam this year. Of course, that meant Everyone has to tighten their belts for this fourth uncle to take the exam.

The second aunt knew all about the situation in her second uncle's house, so in order not to give Xiaoqiao a chance to be scolded, she left at the door.Ye Xiaoqiao walked into the yard with the wooden basin in his hands.

The Ye family's yard is big enough, otherwise it wouldn't be the main house with five rooms.When Ye Xiaoqiao's mother Wu saw the little girl came back, she said, "Dry the clothes and rest for a while."

Mrs. Wu is feeding the big fat pigs in the pigsty.There are two big fat pigs in total. I could have killed one and sold the other last year, but Xiaoqiao’s grandpa and grandma said that the fourth uncle is going to take the exam during the Chinese New Year. The pigs can’t be sold now. Wait until spring comes. Got bigger and sold it.

Guo said: "This is a big deal for the whole family. If the fourth child is admitted as a scholar, the whole family will be honored, and they can hold their heads high in this village."

Even if someone is not happy, there is no way, who made her the elder?
It's just that Ye Xiaoqiao swallowed her saliva. How long has it been since she ate meat? She's so hungry!When I see a pig, I think of pork.In particular, these two pigs were raised by everyone digging wild vegetables and feeding them every day.

As long as the family has the ability to work, they all go to work in the fields or on the mountains. Now that the wild vegetables are growing, when they are green and yellow, they can just dig wild vegetables to eat.As for the male laborers, they either went to the mountains to cut firewood, and they used firewood to cook at home, or they went to the fields to topdress or loosen the fields. Even Xiaoqiao’s grandfather was not idle, he liked to tend the crops.

The aunt's daughter, Xiaomi, is only five years old now, and she is the only daughter of the uncle and the aunt.The uncle's family has a son and a daughter. The son is also the eldest grandson of the old man. He is 14 years old this year, only one year younger than the fourth uncle, and the same age as the sister-in-law.

The fourth uncle and sister-in-law are one year apart, but one was born at the beginning of the year and the other was born at the end of the year. If you count them, they are more than one year old, but the year is still one year old.

As for the third uncle's family, the eldest is a girl named Xiaodie, who is one year younger than Xiaofeng, nine years old this year, and one year older than Xiaoqiao. The one is of course Xiaofeng, ten years old.

However, compared with Uncle Tan's wheat, it is still a few months younger.

The third uncle is a girl and has two sons. The son is only seven years old and the other is three years old. The three-year-old is currently the youngest in the family.

As for Xiaoqiao's parents, the eldest brother is 13 years old this year, the second brother and Xiaofeng are twins who are also ten years old this year, and Ye Xiaoqiao is eight years old this year, so Xiaoqiao is ranked third.Adding wheat is ranked fourth.

On Uncle Tan's side, the eldest is a son, who is 12 years old this year, and the second is Mai Mai, who is ten years old this year. Then Uncle Tan's wife gave birth to two daughters, six and four years old.The population is also large.

Now Uncle Tan and Uncle Tan both live in the East Wing. According to the ancient saying that the east is the most expensive, Ye Xiaoqiao's father and third uncle are at a disadvantage, but this is the case now. If everyone cares about so much, don't live on. .

Since ancient times, the children in the middle have not been given much attention.

Of course Guo's baby Ye Gen lives in the spacious and bright main house, and the same goes for the younger sister Ye Huier, who has a boudoir alone.

Ye Xiaoqiao had just finished drying his clothes, and before he could catch his breath, Mrs. Guo called Ye Xiaoqiao over, and handed Ye Xiaoqiao a bamboo basket covered with cotton cloth, "I'll bring food to your fourth uncle. It’s hard work, it’s not enough to eat well every day. I’ve counted how many things are in it, don’t steal it on the road, or I’ll ask your fourth uncle later, and let your father teach you well!”

When is this? It’s not yet noon, so I’m going to deliver lunch by myself. Smelling the faint smell of meat wafting from the basket, Xiaoqiao feels his mouth watering.

But I can only bear it. I remember that once I asked Mai to deliver food to my fourth uncle. As a result, Mai couldn’t hold back and ate a piece of meat. Later, Mrs. Guo found out and beat him hard with a broom One meal, for other people, not her own granddaughter, she will not do it herself, she just told her stepson and asked them to teach their children. Anyway, Guo is the stepson's mother in terms of name, so she said, You still don't listen?

So since then no one dared to steal it again.For the sake of her own safety, Ye Xiaoqiao didn't dare to steal food.

Although she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, when Xiaomi saw this, she ran over to Ye Xiaoqiao and said, "Sister Xiaoqiao, I want to go too!"

Mrs. Guo was a little displeased, but she didn't say anything after all, this is either a kiss or not, and even beating and scolding won't work.But Mrs. Guo estimated that she would blow pillows before, anyway, Ye Dahu, the head of the Ye family, mostly listens to her.

"Sister Xiaoqiao, your hands are so cold, I will cover you." Although the uncle and Xiaoqiao's father are not the same mother, the two brothers have a good relationship, and the two sisters-in-law also cooperate tacitly. Between, the relationship is also good.

Xiaoqiao stretched out a hand, stretched it into Xiaomi's neck, and iced Xiaomi. Of course Xiaomi didn't do it, and wanted to ice it back, but how could he catch up with Xiaoqiao? Stone Bridge, entered the official road, walked for about a quarter of an hour, and saw a white courtyard wall. Inside the courtyard wall was a school jointly run by the Ye family and several other villages. Books can be sent over.

"Sister Xiaoqiao, look at Fourth Uncle, how did he know that we came here at this time? It's not long since we had breakfast." Xiaomi said to Ye Xiaoqiao secretly.

Ye Xiaoqiao secretly smiled, Guo Shi must have told him in advance.This fourth uncle doesn't look like a scholar, he looks a little fat, Xiaoqiao thinks that he eats too much good food, if he is like Xiaoqiao and the others, he will probably lose weight soon.
