Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 45

Lixia and Liqiu came back in the evening, saying that they had given the hedgehog to cousin Yifan, who praised them by saying that they would come.

"The eldest aunt stayed with us overnight. My brother said that the family was still busy with farming, so he rushed back. My uncle said that they don't have much work now, so we don't need to go to help. Let us go to their house for a few days when we have time after the busy farming." Liqiu said.

"The eldest aunt was very happy when she saw the eggs, and she knew that Xiaoqiao raised them, so she praised Xiaoqiao."

"At noon, my aunt made pork elbows for us. It was delicious! Both my brother and I were full after eating, hehe!"

Xiaofeng was drooling when he heard it, if he went with him, wouldn't he be able to eat it too?
"When our family is rich, we will also cook pork knuckles." Xiaoqiao whispered to Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng nodded, but how to get money?But when I think that the family members are preparing to make money now, I have hope in my heart.

Li Xia said: "Cousin Yifan, let me raise fish well. When I grow up, I will take care of the sale."

Wu said: "Yifan really has a heart. Then you take care of it, mother thinks you can do it!"

The adults' praise is a great encouragement to the children. Xiaoqiao feels that although the mother doesn't understand these things, she does a good job in real life.

After working for a few more days, I finally harvested the wheat from Shangfang's eight-acre field and harvested it. Now it is drying in the yard of Shangfang. Seeing that nothing happened, Ye Zhu started to get busy The dry land at home is gone.

The bracts were ripe too, and all six members of Ye Xiaoqiao's family went to the field to pick the bracts.

Corn corn can be eaten as a staple food, and if there is too much, it can be fed to pigs, and corn stalks can also be used as firewood.Everyone doesn't have much land, so they are busy with their own things.

Ye Zhu and Wu Shi didn't let Xiaoqiao and Xiaofeng enter the Baogu field, lest they get itchy all over.

Ye Zhu, Mrs. Wu, and Li Xia chopped the corn poles, and the younger ones were all beside them. After a while, one basket was full, and when two baskets were full, they carried them back with poles.

This year's bracts are quite big, and it was Ye Zhu who worked hard to fertilize them. It took the family a day to finally get back an acre of bracts.

Looking at the corn in the yard, everyone is very happy, this is everyone's ration.

Xiaoqiao and Xiaofeng selected more than a dozen tender ones, removed the outer leaves, washed them, and put them in a pot to boil.

It's really delicious to eat this fresh and tender corn stick.

Children in the countryside usually don't have any snacks, and this is one of them.

Ye Zhu asked Lixia to send a few to the housekeeper, who hadn't planted corn this year, so it was a fresh taste.

Ye Xiaoqiao thought, his father is filial, he would always think about going to the house if he has any good things, even if the people who go to the house don't appreciate it and take it for granted, he is still enthusiastic.

Xiaoqiao hurriedly said, "I'll go with elder brother too."

Xiaoqiao and Lixia brought a dustpan to the upper room.

Li Xia said: "Xiao Qiao, just wait for me outside, I'll go in alone." Li Xia was afraid that the person in the room would speak badly, and he didn't want his sister to be scolded too.

Xiaoqiao said: "Brother, I want to go with me too. I'm afraid outside alone." It's dark now.

Li Xia had no choice but to hold his younger sister's hand and went to the upper room together, "If you hear something unpleasant in a while, just pretend you didn't hear it."

"Brother, let's give grandpa and grandma something to eat, and there are ugly words, so what are we doing?" Xiaoqiao said.

It's not easy for Li Xia to answer this question, he can't say that they are our elders, he sometimes thinks that they are too much for grandpa and grandma, it's just that papa ordered him to come here, even if he doesn't want to come, he still wants to come here.

When the two little ones entered the door, they saw Mrs. Guo coming out, and the other three were at the dining table. Ye Huier's face was a little ugly, and Li Xia said, "Master, grandma, we just cooked tender corn. Mother asked me and Xiaoqiao to bring it here for you to try something new."

Mrs. Guo hurried to the kitchen to get a basin, and put down the boiled corn sticks. The old man smiled and said, "Your parents are interested, so the corn you harvested today will be fine."

Li Xia said: "It's okay! Grandpa, grandma, let's go back first, we are waiting for dinner at home."

The old man was busy trying to say something, but Guo Shi stopped him, and Ye Gen and Ye Huier didn't open their mouths either.

As soon as Xiaoqiao and Lixia went out, they heard Guo's voice saying: "You really want to keep them for dinner, a little corn!" Then the old man didn't know what he said, but he didn't hear clearly.

Ye Xiaoqiao shook her head, don't think she didn't smell the smell of meat, but there was nothing on the dining table, seeing Guo Shi come out of the room in a panic, she knew that she must have heard Lixia and Xiao The bridge moved, and then quickly hid.

Alas, really, who cares about her things, I have indigestion after eating her things.This is really, a little ridiculous.

It is estimated that my little sister Ye Huier must think that there is no need to hide it like a thief, just put it in front of the two of them, and if I don't give it to you, I won't give it to you.

After Xiaoqiao and Lixia went back, Wu Shi asked: "It's pretty fast today." She knew that as long as the things were delivered, the upper room would definitely say something, and she definitely couldn't come back so early.

Xiaoqiao said: "When we went, grandma and the others were eating, I could already smell the smell of meat, but why didn't I see it on the table?"

Some words will be left to the end, leaving room for everyone's imagination.

Wu looked at Ye Zhu meaningfully, Ye Zhu's face was a little hot, and said to Xiaoqiao: "Xiaoqiao wants to eat meat, dad will buy it for you tomorrow!"

Xiaoqiao smiled and said: "Really? Daddy is so kind! When we left, Grandpa wanted to keep us for dinner, but Nanny said it was just a few corns. Does Nanny think that we don't have enough corns?"

Ye Zhu said: "No, there is no such thing! Mother of the child, hurry up and eat, everyone is hungry!"

No matter what, the old man is father's own father, no matter how wrong he is, he can't do anything to him, so Xiaoqiao deliberately gossips about Guo Shi today, so that father can gradually alienate him.

Xiaofeng asked Xiaoqiao at night: "Xiaoqiao, did you say that on purpose today, you didn't look at our father, your face was blushing all the time."

Xiaoqiao said: "I'll tell you the truth, if you don't believe me, you can ask brother!"

"Come on, you still haven't told the truth in front of me, but I feel at ease with what you said today. Our father is just sticking to his cold ass with a hot face.
Now let him also know what attitude they have towards us.How can it be that the grandchildren and grandchildren have come to the door, and they are all eating, and they don't even say a word about eating together, which is really good enough!Do you really smell meat? "

"That's right. As soon as we entered the door, the nursing nurse came out of the room in a panic. It looked like she was hiding something. My sister-in-law still looked unhappy, as if someone owed her money."

"When did she give us a good face? Look at her like that, let's do it in the future." Xiaofeng snorted coldly.

The corn must be dried in the sun, otherwise it will be difficult to grind the flour, and the sorghum and sweet potatoes at home will have to be harvested. Xiao Qiao’s family has a lot of labor, so it will be harvested in a few days, and then help the uncle and third uncle. .

Mrs. Hao said to Mrs. Wu while working: "When we were working with the fourth child, he was either in pain or itching, as if the land was not his. Now it's our turn, and he didn't get sick once. It's so big, I really panic when I think about it!"

Wu said: "Talk to him and you will only be angry, don't think about it, the family is separated, everyone lives their own lives, isn't he going to marry a wife too? At that time, we will really live our lives."

"Second sister-in-law, you're thinking too well. The old man and that one are capable? When the time comes, don't we have to obey and go to work obediently?" Hao Shi gave up hope.

"There must be a saying, we should help the old man, that's what we should do, and help the fourth brother who has already married, that's a favor. If we owe a lot of favors, others will not say us. In the future, we will have more land , We are too busy ourselves, so we can’t waste our own land and help others, even if we don’t go there, no one will talk about us,” Wu said.

"There is some truth in what you say. I'm afraid that some people are too thick-skinned, and we are too thin-skinned. Then we will only suffer.

Hmph, when I have more land in my house, I will invite the fourth child to come over to work in advance. If he doesn't come, then we will be invited to come over, and we won't go. Forgive him and he won't say anything, even if the old man and the old woman want to come Come on, I also have something to say. "

Liu's mother's family also came to help, so her family's land was harvested very quickly, but the three brothers only had three acres of land, and there were only sweet potatoes, corn corn, sorghum, and no other fine grains at all.

It can only be that a few big men usually go out to work, earn some money and buy some food.In addition, their respective natal families helped each other.Otherwise, the family will be sad.

And in the pond in Lixia Lane, the fish gradually grew up. Because of the good feeding, the small fish turned into big fish.Feng Yifan brought someone over to fish once, and this time he brought someone in charge of Zhu Dahu's family. Feng Yifan made things right with Li Xia and Ye Zhu, so he didn't care about it. The errand is to help the second uncle's family, and now that both aspects are connected, he will retire.

And the little steward of Zhu Dahu's family is surnamed Sun, and people call him Steward Sun.In the past, he bought fish from those who specialize in fishing in the river. He hadn't heard that there were people here who specialized in fish farming.Now that I have seen this pond, the fish caught from it are big enough and fresh enough.I'm really happy. With this fish pond, I won't have to look at the sky to eat in the future.Although there are some people who raise fish, they are all far away from Kang County. After this trip, the fish are not fresh. Yejia Village is very close to Kang County, so there is absolutely no problem going back and forth once a day!When the time comes, the masters of the house will eat fresh fish, isn't that due to him?
