Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 192 The Big Sister's Lost

As soon as Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er approached the door, Xiao Shu'er yelled at the top of her voice: "My second sister is back, hurry up and warm her up."

After yelling, Liu Dacheng opened the window facing the courtyard immediately, and Liu Dacheng asked anxiously: "Ya'er, why did you come back so late? You are a girl, so you won't be allowed in the future." Come back after dark. Otherwise, father will not allow you to go out again."

Liu Xu'er also ran out of the kitchen and said, "Come in quickly, the food is hot on the stove. Eat first, then wash up later. Dad is right, you are not stupid and you run around all day, how worrying you are." ah."

Although she was listening to her family's thoughts, Liu Ya's heart was still warm.The warmth she once lacked, the lack of control from her family, and even the reprimand of her parents have all been found back now. This kind of happiness can only be felt by those who can't get it.

While agreeing, Liu Ya entered the courtyard gate.First he smiled "hee hee" at Liu Xu'er, then bowed to Liu Dacheng's window, as if begging for mercy, and quickly ran into the kitchen.

Seeing Liu Ya's playfulness, Liu Dacheng's intentional reproach turned into pity.He yelled to the kitchen again: "Eat slowly, don't worry. Dad is either scolding you or just worried."

"Father, I understand. It's okay, you can scold if you want in the future, I love to listen." Liu Ya responded while washing her hands.

Liu Xu'er also followed into the kitchen, and while putting the hot food on the stove on the table for Liu Ya, she said, "You always think my cooking is not delicious, so I will learn how to make a candy with Sister Qiuhong today." Vinegar eggplant, you try it. Xiao Shuer and Dad said it’s okay.”

"Pfft, there are sweet and sour eggplants?" Liu Ya smiled and said, "Is it fish-flavored eggplants? I love fish-flavored eggplants."

"No, there is no fish, just made with sugar and vinegar. The eggplant needs to be deep-fried. Although it is a bit oily, but our family is not short of oil money now, so I tried to fry it once. It is really good Eat." After Liu Xu'er finished speaking, she had already arranged the food and put away the chopsticks, and it was almost delivered to Liu Ya's mouth.

Liu Ya smiled and said: "Who said that fish-flavored eggplant must have fish? However, the method is similar to what you said. Later, I will make an authentic fish-flavored eggplant for you to try." After speaking, Liu Ya picked up the bowl , picked up the chopsticks, and ate with big mouthfuls.

Although Liu Xu'er's cooking is still not satisfactory, but she can see her intentions, at least it's not unpalatable and it's tasty.Liu Ya wasn't picky about food in the first place, but now she was able to eat ready-made hot food, which was learned by her eldest sister, so of course she was full of joy.

Seeing Liu Ya's delicious food, Liu Xu'er was like a stone dropped to the ground.Moving a bench and sitting next to the stove, while continuing to boil hot water in the pot, he said: "It's good to see that you like to eat. Otherwise, I'll just stay at home all day. If I can't even cook well, I will feel awkward." .”

"Sister, you are used to work, so you can't be idle. Or..." Liu Ya thought for a while and said, "I think the front and back yards of our house are also empty. If you open up a piece of land, we can also grow some vegetables Huh? You don’t need to grow much, just grow something that you usually eat, enough for our own family.”

Liu Xu'er's eyes lit up, she patted her thigh and said, "Look, I can't remember it unless you tell me. There are so many families in our village who grow vegetables in their yards. Each family grows differently, and you can also grow vegetables with your neighbors. It’s good to eat in exchange, without having to buy it.”

Liu Ya smiled, and ate again.

Liu Xu'er sat there and began to think about what kind of vegetables to grow.Is cabbage easy to grow, or eggplant and pepper grow faster?Still wondering if celery is not easy to get insects?When it's almost winter, you should plant radishes or something.

Liu Ya listened to Liu Xuer's chanting, and said with a smile: "Why don't you go to Aunt Niu's house to learn how to grow vegetables when you have time. Let's see if things get better in the future, our family will also buy a few acres of land. Paddy fields, dry fields Buy some, and our family will have a harvest."

Liu Ya knew that the people in the mountains couldn't escape the fact that they were farmers, as long as they didn't make a living by hunting, they all wanted to have a few pieces of fertile land.Only those who have more land can be regarded as wealthy households, and they can live with peace of mind.Liu Ya didn't think about how much grain could be produced after buying the land, at least to make her father and elder sister feel at ease, and let others see that their Liu family has a house and land, which is also beautiful.

When Liu Ya said that she could still buy land in the future, Liu Xu'er showed a surprised expression.Then he sighed and said: "Ya'er, you are really capable. I am really not as capable as you. At the beginning, my father's leg was broken, and my mother worked so hard by herself, so I couldn't help; After leaving, I supported the house by myself, but in the end I had to let Shu'er also go to the mountain to cut firewood to make ends meet. At that time, your mind was not clear, and you often went to hunt pigweed for money to help the family. But now you are fine , our whole family is well, and life is booming as soon as we see it."

Liu Ya could hear the disappointment in Liu Xu'er's words.Busily put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, stood up and squatted down in front of Liu Xuer, and said, "Sister, are you still seeing each other? Isn't it the same in our family who makes money. I'm lucky now, I can earn some It's just money, if you don't have such good luck in the future, you can only go home and eat dry food, why don't you support me?"

"I kept it, you were always stupid back then, and I also took care of it." Liu Xu'er smiled, pinched Liu Ya's nose, and said, "Okay, big sister just said a few words, you go to eat quickly Bar."

Liu Ya nodded, and then sat back down again.But she already had a plan in mind, and if she really made a lot of money in the future, she shouldn't be too conspicuous.Suddenly getting rich suddenly in such a poor mountain valley will cause people to worry about it.Secondly, she didn't want the eldest sister to feel too unbalanced.

After the meal, Liu Xu'er didn't ask Liu Ya to wash the dishes, but she took over and cleaned the dishes.

Liu Ya thought for a while, poured a pot of hot water on the stove, and brought it to Liu Dacheng's room.

Liu Dacheng was sitting on the kang, still weaving a small basket.Seeing Liu Ya coming in with a hot water basin, he asked in a daze, "Ya'er, what are you doing?"

"Wash Dad's feet." Liu Ya smiled and put down the basin, and then said to Liu Dacheng: "Daddy, soak your feet in hot water and massage them again. It's very comfortable. It will also help your injuries."

"No, no, no, dad's legs and feet don't feel much, and it's useless to soak them. Besides... dad's feet are too dirty." Liu Dacheng was about to shrink back into the kang, with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Liu Ya hurriedly said: "Father, you don't have to walk on the ground, and you don't wear shoes so your feet don't sweat. How can it smell? Besides, even if it's smelly feet, what's wrong with me, a girl, washing it for you?"
