Chapter 1353 [1352] Mrs. Cao (5100)

The rainy season in summer is also the season when grains are infested with insects, so they need to be taken out to dry regularly. Both parents work in the production team, and these small things at home are handed over to a few sons. The elder brother cooks, washes clothes, dries millet, feeds pigs and chickens , that is, everything can play a leading role, and the younger siblings naturally follow suit, so they can help out by following behind.

Before the rainstorm came, the evil wind blowing in the yard was always scary. The elder brothers were collecting clothes and harvesting grain in the yard, and she was placed on a small stool at the door of the main room, so that she could watch and not run around, because it was blowing from outside. It's easy to hit her with things, this is my brother's direct preference for her.

The eldest brother never got a chance to ask her about the water-cup last time. Of course, she knew it and couldn't explain it clearly. Let's treat her as an older child and have that luck!
Since that incident, Zhang Caicai has been beaten up by the Zhang family. Every time she sees their brothers and sisters, she hides away from a distance, but she doesn't ignore the obvious resentment in her eyes.

Fortunately, she is young now, and she can't talk or walk to be alone. There are people protecting her wherever she goes. Even if she wants to take revenge, she can't find a chance.

Ding Wei sat with her chin in the pony pouch and watched her brothers running around outside, but she was bored and hungry. Seeing the vegetables her brother picked before the rain came on the table, she carried the pony pouch over there, enough to After getting off the cucumber, I broke off the tastiest part of it, casually wiped off the thorns with my clothes, and sat down to grind my teeth.

Not long after, the rain came, and it was very heavy, mixed with hail and strong wind. After the brothers collected the grain, they moved to the house in the east and west wings.

They were all wet, and when they were wiping off the rain with dirty clothes, they realized that the younger sister who was sitting at the door of the main room had disappeared. They rushed into the main room, only to see the younger sister sitting in the main room looking up at the ceiling. It was strange what she was doing, but the little man seemed to have finally discovered something, pointing to a corner of the beam.

"Brother, leak, brother, leak!"

The brothers listened attentively, wouldn't it be raining?

The eldest brother hurriedly ordered several people to go to several rooms to check.

"See if there is any leaking place, find a basin that can hold water and fill it up, make a note of the location, and let Dad make it up when the weather clears."

Ding Jianguo saw that Ding Wei was gnawing on half of a cucumber, and the saliva flowed out. He subconsciously wiped it off with his hands, and squatted down to hug her, and praised her with a smile.

"My Weiwei is awesome. You know what to look for. You took this cucumber yourself. Is it delicious? Can you give it to my brother? You are a little person, and you know that this end is delicious, and the other end is delicious." It's not delicious!"

"Too bad, our parents don't know what's going on, we forgot to give them coir raincoats."

Ding Jianshe slapped his forehead suddenly, and was stopped by Ding Jianguo when he was about to rush out.

"Mom and Dad are grown-ups. There are so many people in the production team. How could they be drenched? They must be looking for a place to hide from the rain. I have to be responsible for the safety of you guys and the food security at home, so you just Never mind."

Ding Wei lay on Ding Jianguo's shoulder, and silently praised this big brother. The adults really don't need them to worry about it. They are not stupid, so how could they not know how to hide from the rain? On the contrary, their parents are still worried about the food they are drying. Didn't get washed away by the rain?
Fortunately, the rainstorm came and went quickly. In less than an hour, the rain subsided. After the dark clouds cleared, Ding Wei still shouted excitedly on her brother's back.

"Rainbow, there is rainbow!"

These words caused the brothers to look sideways and exclaim: "Oh my god, brother, she actually knows it's a rainbow? Who taught it? You?"

Ding Jianguo looked sideways at his younger sister, and her eyes were staring at the sky, seemingly unaware of how surprising what he just said.

Ding Jianguo pursed his lips, "Yes." He said without much explanation.

Since his sister gave him such a big accident last time, it seemed not surprising that he could say rainbow now.

However, this further proves his guess that his parents gave birth to a little clever ghost, and the clever ones are a bit too clever!
In fact, Ding Wei already regretted it after she said it. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and pretended not to know, but she was surprised that her elder brother would help her.

To be honest, she doesn't even dare to look at her elder brother's eyes now, she can only really treat herself as a child, waving her little fleshy arms in a serious manner.

Fortunately, a life-saving straw came: "Dad, Mom is back!"

As soon as Ding Wei saw her mother came back, she began to bounce on her brother's back, scratching to get off, her father wanted to hug her, but she reached out to ask her mother, because her father's body stinks and she was a little disgusted.

Parents were very happy when they entered the yard and found that everything that should be collected had been collected. While praising the brothers, they hugged Ding Wei in their arms.

It was already afternoon at this time, and there was water in the ground, so it was not easy to get in, so the work was suspended. It was rare for my mother to be free, so I planned to cook something delicious for them.

Purslane is the most wild vegetable in the field this season, especially in the corn field, there are so many, even in the current shortage of food, I can’t finish digging every day. When my mother was weeding in the field, she dug it She took a basket home and saw the little girl eating cucumbers hungry, so she smiled and gave her to her husband.

"You take her first, I'll pick and wash this dish, and steam some vegetables for them to eat."

When there are many people in the family, it is impossible to make it with white flour, so sweet potato flour, corn flour, and sorghum flour are mixed with vegetables, and they are steamed in a pot in the shape of steamed bread. It's not easy to eat good things that I dare not even think about, but now I can eat them as a daily meal.

The mother's so-called good thing is because she cracked two eggs in it to reward the sons who worked hard this afternoon.

After his father was free, Ding Jianguo quickly took him to see the three places where the rain leaked in the house. The father and son discussed how to paste the leaking places with mud tomorrow.

Ding Wei felt that being with these gentlemen was meaningless, so she squatted next to her mother on her short legs, and began to choose vegetables like her mother.

Because of the lack of food, the old rhizomes were reluctant to throw away, so they removed the roots at the beginning. This was very simple, but my mother was surprised by her sensibility.

After hearing her mother's praise, Ding Wei remembered that she was still young, so she did something out of the ordinary suddenly, and it was a little embarrassing. Fortunately, getting used to it comes naturally, and it's good to get used to it.

To eat purslane steamed bread, you need to adjust the garlic juice. Summer is the season to eat garlic. Although she doesn't like the taste of garlic, the human body needs to be disinfected regularly. Garlic is a good way to supplement food, so she also actively uses garlic Bringing the basket in front of him, Xiaobai peeled off the basket petal by petal.

After choosing the vegetables, it made my mother feel that it was not normal. While washing the vegetables, she praised Ding Wei, and when the eldest son came, she said excitedly.

"See, I took the basket by myself and peeled the garlic myself. Why do you say she is more comforting to me than your dad? If your dad doesn't order him to do it, he will never remember that horse juice vegetables need to be served with garlic juice. There is no one else in the world of vision, she is indeed my daughter of Zhao Qingqing."

Ding Jianguo thought so deeply, and he didn't hesitate to say what he said in his heart: "Mom, just now she pointed at the sky and shouted for the rainbow, the rainbow after the rain, you can get it from the villain, no one taught it, how could she know it?" Is that a rainbow?"

Zhao Qingqing looked at the little girl who was concentrating on peeling garlic in surprise: "Could it be that when there was a rainbow before, she just remembered what you said?"

This possibility is not ruled out, but: "The last time she fell into the water, she climbed ashore by herself, and she claimed credit for how many duck eggs and mussels she found. Mom, do you think my sister has become a sperm?"

"Bah bah bah, what are you talking nonsense about? This shows that your sister is smart and born to be our family's lucky star. How can you become a spirit? Do you think she is a monster?"

"That's not true, I just feel that she is more obedient and more human than ordinary children. She doesn't look like a one-year-old child at all, but more like a four- or five-year-old. Sometimes our fourth child's performance is not as good as that of a little sister. !"

The mother couldn't help laughing, thinking back to her little son, there were times when he was not very smart.

"When your brother was this age, he only looked for food."

***
Of the thirteen duck eggs brought back from the river that day, twelve ducklings hatched, and only one bad egg was fed to the pigs.

The hatched ducklings were sent to the city by their father and exchanged for two catties of glutinous rice.

Because their production team does not grow rice, so they rarely eat rice, but the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, so we need to think about it. It is a festival, and we should pay attention to the atmosphere.

Although there are only two catties of glutinous rice, one person in the family may eat two, but at least on the Zongzi Festival, there are Zongzi.

There are reeds by the river, and my mother saved some peanuts and red dates. This is how the northerners eat them. They fold the boiled and soaked reed leaves into triangles, and put soaked glutinous rice, peanuts, and red dates in them. A little millet and sorghum can be decided according to personal preference.

White sugar is a precious thing in this era. Many people can't eat it, and their parents are not willing to buy it. Anyway, after the rice dumplings are cooked, they are eaten directly without dipping in white sugar. Although dipping in white sugar is more delicious, white sugar requires sugar. Not to mention the ticket, it's still expensive. In the eyes of parents, buying that is better than buying a catty of meat for the children to eat!

In August, the wild duck laid its first egg after it came to Ding's house.

After the second aunt gave birth to two daughters and two sons, she gave birth to a son. At the full moon in August, the parents took nothing with them, so they led them to help, because they had already given a big hen earlier, so this kind of Under such circumstances, there is no sense of disobedience to help with empty hands.

In this day and age, the feast is a big pot of dishes, one bowl for each person, and two steamed buns, which is not bad, at least there is minced meat in the dishes.

The relatives, friends, and folks who greeted and sent them did not come empty-handed. Those who sent eggs, millet, red dates, and rice vinegar were all good people. They also brought fabrics that I don’t know how many years they have saved, a bowl of peanuts, and a bowl of rice. Yes, all in all, courtesy is light and affection is heavy, that's the only way she can describe the way of hospitality in this era.

Poverty makes it impossible for many people to come up with better things, but they choose to give away some and bring the whole family to eat and drink. This is very common in the village. Who doesn’t start with three children in this era?There are too many mouths, and it is not easy to meet a chance to eat and drink. Some even want to take the bowl away, which really refreshes the bottom line.

Second Uncle Ding Wei seemed very satisfied. Everyone said, "My big fat boy looks like a rare person." Compared with her parents' attitude towards her, she always felt that her second uncle and aunt treated their eldest daughter and younger daughter a little too slowly. Hey, he was still serving dishes at a young age, watching relatives all come to see my younger brother, and even some colorless people said.

"From now on, you two will have three younger brothers to support. Seeing that your parents have younger brothers, don't they care less about you two losers?"

It was a well-known gossip woman in the village who spoke. She had given birth to five sons, and she looked down on those who gave birth to daughters. Even if her second uncle and aunt had sons and daughters, she only saw her sons. Sarcastic, not at all polite.

Ding Wei looked at her and wanted to wave her little meaty hand to shake her ear. Fortunately, the mother, who is an aunt, heard it and responded very bluntly.

"Hey, Aunt Cao doesn't have a daughter, so she's envious of my younger siblings having sons and daughters, so she's here to provoke the relationship between mother and daughter? My younger siblings and uncle have hands and feet, and they can support the older four children by themselves. , this little one is fine, how can you let the two daughters raise it? What do you think? Could it be that your daughter-in-law raises her natal younger brother, and it’s the same for other families? Also, don’t listen to me when you pick lotus and mulberry If this old woman, how could your parents not like you, only losers will call others losers, and I even look down on women, and she deserves to be punished by my wife!"

How about a man who can decide a woman's status in the village? My father is capable, and my mother is not afraid of anyone. The most important thing is that this old woman speaks too badly. My mother was unceremoniously angry and ordered Aunt Cao on the spot. Her face, because of her anger, her facial features were distorted, and she was so red with anger at her mother that her eyes almost popped out.

"Ding Zhenlong's family, are you talking to the elders like this? Who are you calling for losing money? Don't you just rely on Ding Zhenlong as a tractor driver? Who are you talking about being punished by his wife? Who dares to punish me? See if I don't scratch them to death." , let me listen to you guys today, and if I find out that you are supporting your natal family, don’t blame me for being rude to you!"

Her daughter-in-law was sitting at another table. The old woman said what she said just now to her daughters-in-law on purpose, but Zhao Qingqing did not expect to hear it. Not only did Zhao Qingqing not give her face, but she also said it so harshly and directly , so she couldn't hold back her face, so she retorted without even thinking about it.

Seeing that there was going to be a quarrel, the people next to him hurriedly tried to persuade her.

Cailian and Caisang timidly pulled the hand of the auntie, wanting to say something, but dared not.

Zhao Qingqing looked at their timid little appearance, and then looked at her daughter's smart little eyes, and suddenly felt that there was really too much difference between them.

She snorted angrily: "Since you are an elder, you should look like an elder. His child is full moon today. You let the big guys judge. Are you speaking human words? You said that his daughter is You are a money loser, so are you a woman yourself? If you don’t admit that you are a money loser, why should you let someone else’s daughter be a money loser? I, Zhao Qingqing, are taking advantage of my man, what’s wrong? You are also taking advantage of your man and Your son, I didn't stop me, did I? With your family's conditions, you still need your daughter-in-law to support the family? It would be good if the family didn't help them in turn!"

"Shut up, Mrs. Ding Zhao, and say one more thing, see if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

"Hey, it's a new society now, and Ding Zhao's, my name is Zhao Qingqing, what Ding Zhao's, what do you think you are, Cao Li's, and others are just like you, look where this is, is it My Ding family, why are you crazy here with a surname of Cao? If you want to eat, you can eat. If you can’t stop your rotten mouth, get out of here quickly. Our Ding family does not welcome you, a crazy woman who provokes dissension. !"

The quarrel here has aroused the men in the family. When the three brothers Ding Zhenlong, Ding Zhenhu, and Ding Zhenbao ran over, the old woman suddenly sat on the ground, crying like a mourner. I couldn't help twitching.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter? Why is this still making trouble?"

Ding Zhenhu looked at the old woman in disgust, and tugged at Zhao Qingqing's sleeves, before Zhao Qingqing could speak, the two daughters told each other what happened just now, after hearing this, Ding Zhenhu got annoyed, went directly to the man's table, and dragged out the old woman's eldest son and second son.

"Don't eat it, you guys, let me take your mother away. Who is it? Today is a happy day for my Ding Zhenhu family. She came up and said that my daughter is a loser, and that my daughter will support her younger brother in the future. This accuses Sang Huai. Who are you going to listen to? Or the elders, who are so out of their minds? I really think that I, Ding Zhenhu, is a bully. It’s not a day or two that your old lady doesn’t treat her daughter-in-law as a human being. Why, I really think this girl Like your daughter-in-law, is she a grass? Even if the mother-in-law bullies and scolds you, you won't talk back?"

One side was talking, but there was a sudden 'pop' sound over there. Everyone looked back, but saw that the old woman's eldest daughter-in-law disliked her ashamed, so they squatted down to persuade her not to disturb the full moon wine, but the old woman turned back. He slapped the eldest daughter-in-law and pushed her down hard.

You must know that the eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant, and Zhao Qingqing was so frightened that she hurried to help her, but the eldest daughter-in-law hugged her stomach in pain and kept screaming for pain. When her man saw it, he rushed over and went up to him The mother kicked.

"You old man, dare to push my wife away. If anything happens to my son, don't worry about it."

The old woman was frightened by this series of reactions. She didn't expect that she just pushed lightly, and her stomach hurt when she was hugged. When she saw that there was no blood, she showed a fierce look: "This woman is pretending, son!" , I didn't use any strength at all, she wronged me."

Coincidentally, at this time, the daughter-in-law's clothes began to soak in blood. When she saw the dazzling red, who would care about it? The old woman sitting on the ground was forgotten by the Cao family in Ding's house.
