Sister Eighty is sweet and flirtatious

Chapter 38
After so many years of exploitation and oppression by Laohua's family, Huazhi now doesn't want to be taken advantage of by anyone. She respects her grandparents, but others cannot take away her respect to her grandparents.

Two days before the start of elementary school, Huazhi and his four brothers and sisters went to their grandparents' house together. All four of them carried baskets on their backs, but they didn't bring anything. They only brought two fish and wild vegetables in a basket.

Because Hua Zhi didn't know whether grandpa and grandma had separated after returning home, she didn't want to raise the mouths of some people she didn't like.

Grandpa and grandma's house was not far or near, and there was no ox cart to ride in. They walked for about three hours to get there. When they arrived at the village of grandma's house, Huazhi felt that her legs were not her own, and her legs were sore.

When I came to my grandma's house, the flower branches collapsed directly under the eaves. I was really tired.

Seeing this, grandma hurriedly scooped up a ladle of water from the water tank. The flower branch hesitated for a while, but she didn’t pick it up. The main reason was that she hadn’t drank raw water since she was reborn. Grandma thought the flower branch was not thirsty, so she scooped the gourd into it Passed it to Huayu.

After the flower branch rested for a while, I went to check next door to my grandma's house. When I walked to the end of the eaves, I saw a large swamp with a large area of ​​green inside. It was very gratifying to look at. In the green, there were indeed many taro leaves standing upright. in the middle.

With just one glance, one can be sure that those are indeed hairy taro.

Huazhi was overjoyed, and hurriedly said to her grandmother, "Grandma, have you separated? Why didn't we see uncle, aunt, and the others when we came here today?"

In the past, when they came here, the aunts thought they were poor relatives who came to play Qiufeng, and they didn't give them a good look. It's really strange that they didn't see many aunts this time.

Grandma nodded, "The family is separated, let them all go out, now we live in the old house with your fourth uncle's family."

Huazhi nodded thoughtfully. Grandma still judges people and chose to live with the family of the fourth uncle. The fourth aunt is still very good. Even if the son is not good, it is enough for the daughter-in-law to be good. After all, things like respecting the elderly, It's all done by the daughter-in-law.

How many sons wiped the old mother's body and poured out the spittoon?

"Grandma, then I'll go there first!" Hua Zhi winked mischievously at her grandma, and hurried down the slope at the end of the eaves. Below the slope were several private plots of grandma's house, and next to the private plot was a swamp. The private plot of my grandma's house has a drop of almost one meter, and there are dozens of centimeters of water inside, which is convenient for grandpa and grandma to pour vegetables.

Not sure if there are such things as clam shells and branches in the swamp, the flower branches did not dare to go down barefoot, so they squatted on the edge of the private plot, hooked a piece of taro leaf with a bamboo pole, and then pulled up a taro tree vigorously. Taro, looking at the fist-sized hairy taro hanging below, the flower branch is very happy.

When Hua Zhi was about to go back and tell her grandma the good news, out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of the clamshell in the water that was bigger than a plate. Now Hua Zhi became even more excited. She hurriedly put down the taro and ran to grandma's house , "Grandma, do you have water shoes at home?"

Grandma pointed to the door, "Your grandpa's are there. If you don't think your feet smell bad, you can wear them!"

"Okay." Hua Zhi hurriedly brought the water shoes over, put them on, and said, "How could I dislike my grandfather's smelly feet?" Then he said to Hua Yu and Hua Feng, "I'm in the nearby swamp. I found a good thing, I will pick it up later, if you are not afraid, you can come down, but I think boys have rough skin and thick flesh, so they shouldn't poke the soles of their feet with branches, right?"

After Huazhi finished speaking, she went down to the swamp with a smile. She first picked out the clam shells from the mud with a bamboo pole, then reached out to pick them up and put them in the basket. On the rocks by the pond in front of my grandmother's house.

Grandma's house is rich in water resources. It is easy to get waterlogged during the rainy season. Every year during the rainy season, there will be floods. Fortunately, it is not serious and does not affect everyone's life. Every time the water level drops, everyone can pick up fish to eat.

Huayu and Huafeng saw that there were many clam shells here, they rolled up their trousers and hurried into the water, they bent down and touched them in the water, Huazhi hurriedly reminded, "Only pick up the big ones. Ah, the little one will stay next year and come pick it up again!"

This piece of swamp land is at least half an mu, with tens of centimeters of water all year round, and the bottom is silt. There is no way to grow any crops, so it has been abandoned here.

In fact, it is not considered deserted, it is full of green and tender water celery and hairy taro, I don’t know if no one eats them or no one knows that these can be eaten, so let them grow here all the time, crop after crop. Extinct, it is a pity.

When Huazhi was picking up big clam shells, he picked up all the big snails. After a while, he smashed them up and took the meat away with his grandma. Grandpa and grandma are old, and the dried snails should not be chewable, but they can eat them. Hairy taro and water celery.

As long as this matter does not spread, no one will rob them.

Moreover, there is a pond in front of their house. When they want to eat fish, they can put a basket on it and they can catch fish. It is much easier and more convenient than her and Xiao Nan catching fish in the river.

Thinking of the delicious crayfish, Huazhi hurried ashore, smashed a few snails, put the snail meat into the back basket, and then put the back basket into the pond in front, and came over later to see if there were any crayfish.

If there is, I will cook it for my grandparents, and they can make it themselves in the future, so that they can add a dish to the family.

Although the flower branch wanted to touch all the clam shells and snails in the swamp, but the flower branch had no place to put it, and it couldn't take so many things with it, so it came up after touching in the water for about an hour.

Afterwards, two boys, Hua Yu and Hua Feng, were assigned to handle the clam shells. One was responsible for cleaning the clam shells, and the other was responsible for opening the clam shells.

They haven't touched this thing before, they don't know which ones can be eaten and which ones can't, and they don't even know if there are any pearls. Don't drive to the pearls in a while, thinking it's a stone thrown at her.

The matter of taking the snail meat is left to Huayue. Huayue is also 11 years old. It is okay to do such a small thing, and she has picked up small snails since she was a child, smashed them and fed them to the chickens, so she is still very good at this matter. experienced.

After everything was ordered, Huazhi had nothing to do. She took the back basket and went to the swamp again, and began to pick up water celery.

If she had known that there were so many water celery and taro, she would have called everyone together, and each of them would be able to eat for a while when they went back with a basket on their backs.
