The Story of Qingfeng Village

Chapter 150 Second Aunt Yang's Sugar Cane

As soon as he walked into the yard after school in the afternoon, Porcupine ran out to greet Zhu Xia, pointed to a small red flower sticker on his forehead and said, "Auntie, look, Meimei, the teacher praised me."

Porcupine has been transferred to kindergarten in the village primary school,
Yao Ma's family has him, adding a lot of lively atmosphere.

Zhu Xia would play with him for a while every day, listening to his childish voice, or making some childish words from time to time, which made everyone laugh, and he laughed too, making her parents happy too.

Zhu Xia picked him up, "Well, Porcupine is so good, come and kiss me."

He sipped on Zhu Xia's face like a gift.

Zhu Xia made a gesture to kiss his face, but he twisted and avoided, shouting, "Oh, I'm drooling..."

Zhu Xia touched his face with her face, and the two of them huddled together and laughed together.

Someone shouted outside the courtyard, "Big sister is wow!"
Zhu Xia saw that it was the Second Aunt Yang.

The surname of Wang in Qingfeng Village is a rich family, and Zhu Xia’s great-grandmother is an authentic Qingfeng Village Wang family. The great-grandfather is a son-in-law who fled from other places and settled here, so everyone surnamed Wang in the village is related to their family. Her grandparents are her uncles and aunts, and her parents are her cousins ​​and so on...

I saw Second Aunt Yang dragging a bundle of sugarcane, walking up from the slope and standing at the gate of the yard.

Zhu Xia hurriedly put the porcupine down and helped her drag the sugarcane into the yard.

"Auntie, sit down and have a rest. Why are you dragging so much sugarcane up here? Why don't you ask someone to help you?"

"Big sister, this is what my aunt chopped up for you to eat."

Yao Ma also came out after hearing the news, "Yo, it's the second aunt who came, come in and sit down. The sugar cane in your field is edible?"

Second Aunt Yang: "You can eat."

Yao Ma: "Call out at the bottom of the slope, and we'll cut it down for you. Are you afraid that we'll eat up your sugar cane?"

Second Aunt Yang pointed to the bundle of sugarcane, "You look through the old almanac again from the youngest family, can such a big bundle not stop your mouth? Sister, you haven't eaten sugarcane from your uncle for many years , come to Auntie to cut it for you."

Zhu Xia: "How can this happen? I'll do it myself."

Yao Ma said, "Sister, you have a good chat with my aunt, and I will cut sugar cane for you."

After a while, Porcupine took two sections of cut sugarcane and gave one section to Second Aunt Yang, "Zuzu, you eat."

One section is for Zhu Xia: "Auntie, you eat."

Second Aunt Yang: "My dear grandson, eat it, Zuzu's teeth are not good, I can't chew anymore."

Looking at the sugarcane in his hand, he probably couldn't do anything with the porcupine. He was too small to chew on it.So Zhu Xia went to the kitchen and cut the sugar cane into small pieces and put them on a plate for him to eat.

The porcupine is very sensible, so he took a piece and fed it to his aunt, and kept asking, "Zuzu, is it sweet?"

Second Aunt Yang smiled, "Oh, my good grandson is sweet, very sweet."

The porcupine fed Yaoma another piece, and also Zhu Xia.

Zhu Xia waved the sugarcane in her hand, "Auntie can eat it, you can eat it yourself."

The porcupine obediently went into the house with a plate to chew sugarcane.

Second Aunt Yang looked at Zhu Xia eating sugar cane with a smile, and asked, "Is it sweet?"

"Well, sweet."

Zhu Xia nodded hurriedly while chewing.

"Elder sister, just eat it, and go to the field to cut it after eating. Those years are not good, and my aunt wants to treat you to eat. I hope that the sugarcane will be ripe and sell some money for your uncle and grandpa to buy medicine, and... One word is poor!"

At that time, my uncle was in poor health and was bedridden for a long time, and my second aunt Yang was all in charge of the house, and there were a few children who were studying and eating.Second Aunt Yang's daughter was in the same class as Zhu Xia, and Zhu Xia called her little cousin in private.The little cousin took her to cut grass and firewood on the slope.

Zhu Xia clearly remembered that when the sugarcane was about to ripen, Second Aunt Yang stayed in the field almost every day, fearing that ignorant children would chop her sugarcane.

The adults in the village also repeatedly warned their children not to touch Aunt Yang's sugar cane.

My sister and I were also warned by my mother several times, until the sugar cane was ripe, my mother bought us a stick with the money to satisfy our greed.

The second aunt Yang tremblingly took the dime note that her mother gave her, and said, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, I'm sorry, I should treat you to eat as an aunt..."

Mom said: "Auntie, I know, I don't see you, please treat us to eat later."

"Yes, in the future, my aunt will treat you to eat enough."

Second Aunt Yang reached out and touched the heads of Zhu Xia and her younger sister. Zhu Xia saw tears welling in her eyes.
