Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 44

"Second brother, look quickly, what is this?" Ye Xiaoqiao raked the fur with a bamboo rake, only to find something moving. He thought he had recruited a snake, but it didn't look like it.

Liqiu and Xiaomi both ran over. Liqiu first picked up a stone and threw it there. There was no danger, so he went over and looked at it, and said with a smile, "Isn't this a hedgehog? We are lucky today, we can pick up this thing, and we can fry meat later. have eaten!"

Ye Xiaoqiao asked: "Second brother, can this be eaten? How can this be eaten? It's full of thorns!"

"It's done after removing it. I think Ergouzi and the others ate it as soon as they caught it, and they all said it was delicious." Li Qiu said with a lot of aftertaste.

Xiaomi also looked at it anxiously, and said, "Brother Liqiu, sister Xiaoqiao, I want to eat too."

Get some thorns on this thing, how much meat is there?The first thing the two thought about was eating.Xiaoqiao said: "I think it's better to sell it. Maybe there are children from rich families who like this thing. If we eat it, we'll have nothing!"

Although Liqiu wanted to eat meat, he felt that what Xiaoqiao said was reasonable, so he took a stick, turned the hedgehog up, and put it directly into the basket.

"Let's go, let's go home!" Xiaoqiao and Liqiu were very happy with an unexpected harvest today, Xiaomi said, "Then we won't be able to eat meat."

Xiaoqiao hurriedly said: "Let's see how much this thing can be sold for. When we have money, we can't buy meat? I'll ask you to come and eat it. But I don't know if this thing can be sold or not." , don’t tell others, you know?”

Xiaomi nodded hurriedly, "Sister Xiaoqiao, I won't tell anyone! Don't worry!"

When it was dark, Ye Zhu, Wu Shi and Li Xia came back, "Father, Mother, I boiled hot water, you guys wash up first to relieve fatigue."

Ye Zhu and his wife are willing to work hard. After this day, they are very tired. Seeing that Xiaoqiao is sensible, they are very relieved, but Xiaofeng told everyone about Xiaoqiao and Liqiu's capture of a hedgehog.

"Xiaoqiao is even more money-obsessed than I am. He said he wanted to sell this hedgehog. Who wants this thing?"

Xiaoqiao said: "Why is no one asking for it? The young masters and ladies of the rich families in the city have never seen this thing, so it must be strange to see this. Mom, I think so, don't you mean that you have to buy it with cousin Yifan?" Do you want to send food and fish to Zhu Dahu’s house? Then let’s make a cage for this hedgehog and give it to Cousin Yifan. Cousin Yifan will naturally have a way to send it to Zhu Dahu’s house. We can do it even if we don’t need a penny Have a good relationship, don't you?"

The wild things in the country are fresh for the young masters and ladies in the city, and they are also a kind of investment, okay?Xiaoqiao remembers watching A Dream of Red Mansions before, and those Zhuangtou like to bring some wild animals to play with the young masters and ladies in the house, such as deer, rabbits, and birds. It is also a way for us to send a hedgehog, isn’t it? ?
Li Qiu said: "Didn't you say you wanted to sell for money during the day?"

"We are sending things now to make more money in the future." Xiaoqiao said.

After hearing this, Li Xia said, "I think what Xiao Qiao said is reasonable. It's useless for us to keep this hedgehog. It's better to send it to Zhu Dahu's house."

Wu Shi nodded and said to Ye Zhu, "His father, what do you think?"

Why does Ye Zhu feel that this little girl is completely different from before?So many ideas!But he didn't think about anything else, thinking that his family was too poor, so he made the children think of making money for everything.

"That's it. I'm afraid I won't be able to send it out." People with large families, who will see you.

Wu said: "Lixia, tomorrow you and Liqiu will go to your aunt's house, send this hedgehog over there, and talk to your cousin Yifan, it's not a big deal if it doesn't work."

Mrs. Wu also wanted her eldest son to rest. After a day of work, it is really unbearable. What Ye Zhu wanted to say, he still didn't open his mouth.

Xiaofeng said: "Why don't I ask for a day off tomorrow and go with me?" There are good things to eat at the aunt's house, Xiaofeng really wants to go.

Wu said: "This time your brother and the others were doing business in the past, let's talk about it next time."

Ye Zhu said: "Go and tell your aunt and uncle, if there is anything you need to help, just say so, our family doesn't have a few acres of land, and it's not the time to harvest it, come here when you're free."

Both Li Xia and Li Qiu nodded yes.

And Xiaoqiao also gritted his teeth, took out twenty eggs, and asked his two elder brothers to bring them over. In the past, the aunt and the others gave things to his family, but now he has eggs at home, so he has to bring a few over .This is called reciprocity.

Although Xiaoqiao managed to save these twenty eggs, he had to give them when they should.

"Mother, I'll go to the house tomorrow to help." My elder brother Lixia went to the city, and there was Lichun brother working at the uncle's house. It's fair, after all, there are two boys who don't come to work.

After Ye Zhu heard this, she felt that this little girl was caring, so Wu thought for a while and said, "Then, you can go with me tomorrow. If your grandma says something, just pretend you can't hear her. Don't quarrel with her." .”

Xiaoqiao nodded. She hadn't confronted Guo's face to face yet, so she didn't know the combat effectiveness.

But if Mrs. Guo asks her to carry water or something, she will definitely not do it. People can't be used to being bullied.

Before dawn the next day, Lixia and Liqiu went to Kang County with the cage they made last night.

Mrs. Wu made breakfast, the whole family had finished eating, and then gathered in the upper room with their sickles. Mrs. Wu explained why Li Xia couldn't come today, but of course she didn't tell the truth, and then said that the girl Xiaoqiao would be here today. Help out in the kitchen so no one else has a problem.

Seeing that Xiaoqiao was also here, Xiaomi followed like a tail.Seeing the addition of a small bridge today, Mrs. Guo felt a lot better in her heart, but she was very upset about the loss of a male laborer. What's the use of my son coming here? I can't even do hard work."

Xiaoqiao smiled and said: "Grandma, you are right, I can't do hard work, even if I go to the stove, I have to stand on the bench, so I will light the fire and pick vegetables."

It's okay to be belittled, just right, just use this as an excuse to quit heavy work.

Guo choked, and said, "I know I'm lazy. I haven't said I'm tired yet, but you're about to fall! Hurry up and chop this little firewood for me. It's still waiting to be used."

For chopping wood, there are those that are thicker with an axe, and those that are slightly thinner with a machete.

Seeing this, Xiaomi said, "My little sister Qiao can't cut it, why can't my sister-in-law do it?"

Seeing that there was no one else here, Mrs. Guo stretched out her hand to hit Xiaomi, but Xiaoqiao pulled her behind, and Xiaomi said from behind: "I'm telling the truth, my sister Xiaoqiao is much younger than my sister-in-law, so she just can't cut it. .Our sister-in-law is an adult, and she hasn’t chopped it off yet.”

"It's the other way around! Talking is neither big nor small! Did your mother teach you to say that? You, a child, definitely can't say such a thing! You dare to talk back to your elders! I would beat you lightly! "Speaking, I will call.

Xiaoqiao hurriedly dragged Xiaomi around the yard, and said as he ran, "Grandma, Xiaomi is just a kid. You know as much as her, and if others see it, you won't say anything about Xiaomi. Big guys can only talk about little kids." If you don't understand, you will say that you are still fussing about with Xiaowazi! Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes."

Hitting people or something is the most annoying thing.And what Xiaomi said was the truth, Mrs. Guo stopped chasing Xiaoqiao after hearing what Xiaoqiao said, stopped and said: "One or two are uneducated! Hurry up and chop the firewood for me! Let you come over to work or grind your teeth." Yes, if others talk about me again, if you don’t listen to me, then you’re disrespecting me as a nurse. You’re also at fault when you’re asked to do a job, so what are you doing here?”

What else did Xiaomi have to say, Xiaoqiao stopped her, wasn't it just chopping firewood?Just like exercising.It is simply impossible to count on my sister-in-law. Doesn't she like to be quiet?Then let's chop wood hard and let her be quiet and quiet.

Originally, Xiaoqiao came here today to endure this day out of patience, but this Guo Shi is not like an elder, and she can't wait to do all the work for herself, so she should resist a little bit. .

"Can't you keep your voice down?" Mrs. Guo couldn't help but ran out and said, this girl definitely did it on purpose, did she have to chop firewood so loudly?
Xiaoqiao said aggrievedly: "I'm weak, if I didn't speak louder, I wouldn't be able to chop. It's okay, I still have this meal, and I'll be fine soon!"

What do you call it? It's almost ready?Mrs. Guo felt a headache. This little girl is not easy to discipline now. Whatever you ask her to do, she will not do it so smoothly. It always makes you angry, and then you can't vent it.Guo felt very depressed.

And Ye Huier in the room couldn't stand such a loud voice, so she said loudly: "Mother, why did you ask her to chop firewood? You made such a big noise! ​​You don't want people to live in peace. I haven't embroidered for a long time. !"

"Come on, come on, what an ancestor! Don't chop firewood, take this vegetable to me and wash it in the river, and go to me quickly!" Guo felt that he was about to vomit blood. Are both rebellious?

Xiaoqiao and Xiaomi carried a basket of vegetables, went out, and laughed, "Sister Xiaoqiao, you didn't see that her head was smoking!"

Xiaoqiao said: "Oh, I didn't do anything, I did whatever she asked me to do."

Xiaomi giggled, it was fun to follow Miss Xiaoqiao.
