Peerless peasant girl

Chapter 4 Have You Heard of Popcorn?
As soon as he walked to the door of the house, he saw Mrs. Hu standing at the door looking around, with an anxious look on his face. He forgot to say hello to Mrs. Hu when he went out just now, and he was probably worried that the little daughter might get hurt or something.

"Mother, the third brother and I are going to pick up the eldest brother and the second brother." Ti Xiaomo saw it, and ran to his mother childishly. He couldn't bear the worry of this woman who was only a few years older than himself.

"You child, why don't you tell your mother first when you go out, so that your mother is worried." Hu said and was crying, it seemed that he was really worried.

"Mother, I'm fine, I won't let myself get hurt again, don't worry." Ti Xiaomo stretched out his small hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corner of Hu's eyes. "Mother, don't cry. Crying too much is not good for the baby in the mother's womb. The little brother and sister born by the mother will be crying ghosts."

"You bad boy, you made my mother worry and still make fun of her." After hearing Ti Xiaomo's words, Hu couldn't laugh or cry, and pretended to spank Ti Xiaomo's ass.

Ti Xiaomo quickly jumped away.

Joke, I am a 24-year-old woman who spanked you. What face do you have to face those good friends.

Thinking of those good friends, a trace of sadness flashed in Ti Xiaomo's eyes.

It's just that it disappeared in an instant. "Mother, look at how much firewood is still on my brother's shoulders. Hurry up and ask him to unload the firewood. Brothers are all exhausted." Ti Xiaomo immediately changed his face, smiled and raised his head to meet Mrs. Hu.

"Xiaosong, Xiaobai, quickly unload the firewood and enter the house for dinner. Be careful, don't come here." Mrs. Hu also reacted, followed her two sons into the demolished house, and carefully helped her son unload the house. Take the burden off your shoulders.

All of this is so natural, as if all of them came here like this.

Tim Xiaomo saw everything in his eyes.

"Brother, have you ever eaten popcorn?" Ti Xiaomo asked the question she wanted to know while walking beside Ti Xiaomo.

"What is popcorn? What kind?" Ti Xiaomo looked at Ti Xiaomo blankly.

"It's made by frying corn. When you fry the corn, it's popcorn!" Could it be that popcorn has not been found as a snack in this era?
"I don't know what kind it is, why don't you ask your mother." Popcorn?He was sure he had never heard the name before.

"Okay." Ti Xiaomo didn't ask again, after all, this little brother is only ten years old, so let's ask this mother later.

Mrs. Hu helped Ti Xiaosong and Xiaobai unload the firewood, and the three followed into the house together.

In the main room is a large square table with four benches placed around the table. On the table is the ranking of the heaven, earth, monarch, relative and teacher. There is a small incense burner in front of the tablet, and there is no incense in the incense burner.

The furnishings in the room were simple and shabby, but they were spotless. It seemed that someone cleaned them carefully every day.

Ti Xiaomo sat on the stool with his brothers, looked at several bowls of rough mother rice and two bowls of dishes that he had never seen before on the table, Ti Xiaomo looked curiously at the vegetable bowls.

"Xiao Song, you and your younger brothers and sisters will eat first, and mother will bring food to grandma, and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters." After saying that, Mrs. Hu picked up a rice bowl with vegetables in it and walked out of the main house.

"Xiao Mo, come and eat vegetables. Eat more and you will be in good health." Ti Xiaosong acted as if he had to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, and put a large chopsticks of vegetables into Ti Xiaomo's bowl.

"Thank you, brother!" He quickly thanked him, the big brother only picked up half of the food in the bowl with his chopsticks.

"Thank you, brother, you kid." Ti Xiaosong actually looked away shyly.

"Brother, just now Xiao Mo asked me if I have eaten popcorn, have you?" Ti Xiaomian thought of the question that I hadn't answered just now, and asked his elder brother, maybe he knew that his elder brother would know.

Ti Xiaomo raised his head and looked at Ti Xiaosong when he asked a sample question, his eyes full of hope for an answer.

"What popcorn? I haven't even heard of it. Where did Xiao Mo hear it?" Ti Xiaosong thought that he had never eaten popcorn, nor had he heard of it. Could it be that his sister wanted to eat it?
"Ah~ Brother, I haven't heard of it either. Then let's eat quickly. I'll make it for my brothers after dinner. Brothers don't go out to chop firewood in the afternoon. Take a rest for a day." Money, if you sell popcorn in the town by yourself, you may earn more than chopping firewood, and you won't be so tired.

"Okay, but my second brother and I are going to cut firewood to make money, otherwise grandma will have no money to buy medicine." Ti Xiaosong also wanted to rest, but when he thought of his family's situation, he had grown up and wanted to buy medicine. Earn money to support the family.

"It's okay, brother, just rest for an afternoon, mother will agree." No matter what you say, you have to pester everyone to stay at home and try the popcorn she made.

If it is delicious, she plans to take her brothers to the town to sell popcorn tomorrow. Although she won't make a lot of money, it's easier than chopping firewood.

"Well, let's rest for an afternoon and help my mother scrape the corn at home." Ti Xiaosong didn't insist anymore, and took a rest for an afternoon today, at worst, he could chop more tomorrow.

"Brother, let's eat quickly." Ti Xiaomo took the lead and ate with big mouthfuls. This dish had no taste at all, it was really vegetables and white water with some salt, and it was not as delicious as homemade ones.
