Fengcheng old events

Chapter 167 Ducks
"Sister Xu, where have you been?"

"Old Wang's house, I'm tired of going out because of the frequent disturbances every three days, and there is no one safe in the family, and the daughter-in-law and children are all non-stop."

"Their family has to be treated by the police, or it will be useless." A woman next to him interjected.

"Forget it, don't talk, don't let people listen to you and spread the word. Let's go." Sister Xu waved her hand and left.

The street looks relaxed, and there are a lot of trivial matters in the neighborhood. The families in the east and the west are short, so it’s not good to leave them alone.

Several women began to turn the topic to the old Wang's family, discussing in a low voice.

In fact, it’s not a big deal, it’s just that the whole family can make a fuss, beating one day and scolding the next. Everyone pays more attention to neighbor relations these days, and is afraid of going out and being pointed at the spine, so it’s usually an internal matter within the family.

If it is put in the future, it will not be a big deal at all, and no one will care about it.

This era is different. People are simple and care about getting along with neighbors. Neighbors are more like relatives.

Just as he was talking, the second child came over with a bucket.

He couldn't pick up a full bucket of water, he could only pick up half a bucket, and then hooked the pole around the pole, barely able to pick it up.

Liu Guixin's clothes were also washed, and he helped the second child get water and watched him pick them up, picked up the clothes and followed them home.

"Wash slowly, I'm done, I'll go back and make food."

"Come on, I'll be fine soon."

"I'm leaving too."

The bustling laundry chat room ended.

"Mom, where are you going to cook?" Zhang Xinglong asked when he walked to the gate of the courtyard.

"When your dad comes back to do it, I still have work. Pour the water out of the tank and help mom dry the clothes."

The second child carried the water into the kitchen, picked up the bucket and poured it into the vat.

After the clothes were dried, Liu Guixin went into the room to tinker with the sewing machine, while Zhang Xinglong was doing his homework, while Zhang Xingbing was playing, doing this and that.

"Mom, look, isn't it pretty?"

Zhang Xinglong turned his head and looked over, the cotton cap that the little brother found out from nowhere, it is a very popular children's cap at the moment, the kind worn by tank drivers, the outside is brown leather, with anti-collision strips and ear protrusions.

"It looks good. My son looks good in anything he wears. Where did you find it? This is the son who wears it in winter."

Liu Guixin smiled and threaded the thread.

Zhang Xinglong also nodded to express his good looks.He was a little envious, but he didn't.

All the things he wears are eliminated by his brother, including the pencil case.

His figure is similar to that of his elder brother, and it happens that his older brother can wear the smaller ones, but his younger brother can't. So the older brother has new ones, the younger brother has new ones, but he doesn't.

After he finished his homework, he went to the kitchen to make coal, and his brother came back from school.

"Brother." He called out.

The boss made a small gesture: "Is my dad back?"

"No." The second child shook his head.

"Take my schoolbag in, quietly, I have something to do."

"Brother, where are you going to play? Can you lead me?"

"You want to go everywhere, so annoying? Stay at home honestly, don't want to talk to my dad. Cut you." The boss went to the pot, took a piece of cake and ran away.

The second child looked at the back of his brother running away, put his schoolbag aside and continued mixing coal.

"Second brother, is your brother back?" Liu Guixin asked in the room.

"Well, I said I have something to run away." The second child took my brother's schoolbag into the house and put it on the kang.

"Go to the pigsty to see if there is any food left."

"Yeah." Going out to the pigsty to have a look, Da Hua and Lao Hei are lying in the pen and humming, Lao Hei is so fat that he can't walk at all, he can only rub on the ground, Da Hua is so slender, it's long Long, I saw a figure running over to look at it.

Climbing to the fence of the pigsty, he took a look at the pig trough, and looked at Dahua for a while, Dahua raised his head and grunted a few times.

Liu Guixin, the pig at home, is often washed, and the pen is also cleaned frequently. It is covered with straw, and its body is not dirty. It is not like the pigs raised by other people are all covered in mud and feces and urine when they go out for dozens of meters.

Dahua's front legs lay on the fence, Zhang Xinglong reached out and touched its head, and found that its eyelashes are so long, its big eyes are watery, so beautiful.

He raised his hand and felt his eyelashes, feeling a little frustrated.

Dahua would hum and gently arch his hand, as if she was flattering him.

While playing, Dahua was startled suddenly, moved her nose and ears a few times, then went down from the fence and ran into the circle, yelling a few times.

Zhang Xinglong turned his head to look at the entrance of the yard, sure enough, his father came back from get off work.

Dahua and her father are not good, even if her father dares not enter the pigsty, Dahua will bite him.Lao Hei didn't pay attention to his father, he would turn his head away and not look at him.

Zhang Xinglong felt quite interesting.

"What are you doing climbing up there? Come down." Zhang Qingzhi scolded.

"Mom let me see if there is any food." Zhang Xinglong climbed down and clapped his hands: "The water tank is full, and the coal is also mixed."

"Have you finished your homework?"

"It's finished."

"Well, I'm cooking. Braised duck today, do you want to eat?"

The father and son entered the house one after the other.

"Come back so early?"

"Nothing to do today. I got a duck back and stewed potatoes."

"Where did you get it?" It's not sold in non-staple food.

"Old Fu's family raised them, and Lao Fu brought a few here."

Zhang Qingzhi put down his lunch box and put on his apron.

Zhang Xinglong ran over to look through the lunch box, he likes to eat the food left over from his father after get off work, he finds it delicious.

"It's cold, don't spoil your stomach."

Liu Guixin laughed: "What's more, I was in the pocket of my trousers at school today, and the teacher kicked me back before school was over."

"Xiaojun hasn't come back yet?" Zhang Qingzhi searched around.

"After school, I ran out to play." Liu Guixin changed the thread on the sewing machine.It is a bit troublesome to change several kinds of threads back and forth after making a piece of clothing.

"Dad, I'm learning to write." The third child shouted.

A smile immediately appeared on Zhang Qingzhi's face: "Oh, is that so? My eldest son is really capable and smart." He went over and kissed him.

"I look at the ducks. But sometimes I don't have anything to eat." Liu Guixin put down his kang and went to the kitchen, Zhang Qingzhi followed.

"It's okay, some meat. Potato stew?"

"Stew potatoes, what else can I cook?" Zhang Qingzhi rolled up his sleeves, and the pots and pans rang.

"Duck meat has to be cooked well, or it won't be fishy. It's too bad to eat."

"Then what else can I do? Just stew it." Zhang Qingzhi scrambled to peel the potatoes.

Liu Guixin knelt down to help, and the two of them were busy talking while talking.

"How about your business? Have you got a letter?"

"Big sister Xu just said that I will go to the street tomorrow, so I believe it. I will go and have a look tomorrow."

"Oh, you just love to move, how easy it is to go to work."

"What's the use of lightness, and you can't make more money. By the way, help me weld the popsicle cart, and I have to make boxes. Look for tickets. I have to buy cotton tomorrow, and I have to use quilts."
