Easy to farm

Chapter 14 The Excessive Zhu Family

Pei Xiangxiang woke up smelling the smell, his stomach was already singing empty plans, and smelling the scent wafting from the kitchen, Pei Xiangxiang got up and dressed quickly.

"Mom, what did you cook for breakfast? It smells so good."

"You little greedy cat, today is March [-]rd, hurry up and wash up, and eat eggs later."

Hearing March [-]rd, Pei Xiangxiang's eyes lit up. On March [-]rd, boiled eggs with local vegetables, this custom is very familiar to Pei Xiangxiang, but he didn't expect to travel here, and this festival has not changed.

The scientific name of ground vegetable is also called shepherd's purse. In spring, shepherd's purse can be seen everywhere on the edge of the field. The small white flowers bloom in a series, which is very beautiful.

On March [-]rd, everyone went to the field ridge early in the morning to dig fresh shepherd's purse and came back. After washing it, bundled it into a small bunch and put it in a large pot, then put half a pot of water, added eggs, a few red dates, and wind balls. Cut some ginger slices and cook together.

I heard from the old people that eating local vegetables and boiled eggs on March [-]rd can not only prevent headaches and dizziness, but also bring good luck and make a fortune.

After not eating meat for a long time, Pei Xiangxiang also likes to eat eggs more and more, so when he saw the eggs already filled on the stove, he couldn't help but licked his lips and quickly washed up.

There are two eggs and three or four red dates in a small bowl of soup. The color of the soup is not turquoise like the one in the pot, but a little brownish red, guessing it should be brown sugar.

He took a sip of the soup with a spoon, it was sweet, and indeed sugar was added, Pei Xiangxiang habitually ate the red dates first, and then the eggs last, and then drank the egg yolks sprinkled in the soup together with the soup.

Seeing the bottom of the bowl was empty, Pei Xiangxiang was still a little unsatisfied, and his eyes turned around in the pot.

There were still eight eggs in the pot, so Pei Xiangxiang shifted his gaze to Yang Shi, who saw Pei Xiangxiang staring at him, and waved his hands decisively, "No, your grandparents will send four over there, and the rest The next four will be given to Brother Xu's family."

Brother Xu in Yang's mouth, named Lin Xu, lost his father since childhood, and lived with his mother, Han, who was not in good health. A poor household in Hecun.

The Han family is kind-hearted, and they are friends with the Yang family. During the festivals, the Yang family will send some food to them. This time on March [-]rd, naturally they did not forget to leave a portion for their family.

Hearing that the rest of the eggs had already been bought, Pei Xiangxiang gave up the idea of ​​having an extra serving, put down the empty bowl in his hand, and said to Yang, "Then I'll help my mother deliver the eggs to Aunt Han's house. "

"Success, send it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Yang put the eggs, soup and red dates into a large porcelain bowl, then put them on a tray and handed them to Pei Xiangxiang, telling Pei Xiangxiang to pay more attention to his feet when walking.

However, just as Pei Xiangxiang was about to go out with a bowl, Mrs. Zhu stopped him at the door. Looking at the eggs Pei Xiangxiang was carrying, Mrs. Zhu frowned and asked, "Where did you get the eggs?"

Pei Xiangxiang froze for a moment, not knowing what Zhu's question meant, but judging from the expression on her face, she knew it was not a good thing.

When Yang saw Zhu, her face was a little embarrassed, thinking that she should send the eggs to the main room first, she lowered her head, and said cautiously, "Mother, why are you here? Hurry up and sit in the house, the pot in the pot The eggs are still hot, and they are about to be delivered to you and Dad."

Mrs. Zhu didn't answer either. After scanning Pei Xiangxiang back and forth, she asked Pei Xiangxiang directly, "Which house are you going to send the eggs to?"

Since Mrs. Yang said that the eggs sent to the main house were still in the pot, and Pei Xiangxiang was carrying them, naturally they were not sent to them.

Pei Xiangxiang glanced at Mrs. Yang, saw that she didn't signal anything, and said, "This is for brother Lin Xu's family."

As soon as Pei Xiangxiang finished speaking, Mrs. Zhu knocked hard on the ground with her crutches a few times, which made Mrs. Yang tremble with fear. She looked at Mrs. Zhu in panic, thinking that Mrs. Zhu got angry because she didn't send the main wife first, and then Lian changed his tune, "Xiangxiang, first send the eggs to your grandparents' house."

Yang's change of words made her feel guilty in Zhu's eyes. She questioned, "There is only one hen in your family that lays eggs. I saw you sold some eggs before. Xiangxiang was sick, and she ate several eggs." Why, why are there still eggs being sent out now, where did so many eggs come from?"

When Zhu asked this, Yang and Pei Xiangxiang suddenly had a bad feeling. Yang asked Zhu, "Mother, I have saved eggs for more than a month, except for the ones that were sold and those that were used to make up for Xiangxiang. , the rest is just enough to cook local vegetables for today.”

"You still want to hide it. Since I have come to look for you, you should tell me everything. Otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." When Mrs. Zhu said this, her face was full of anger.

"Mother, what are you talking about, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law doesn't understand."

Mrs. Yang looked at Mrs. Zhu with a confused face. He really didn't know what happened. He was at a loss. As soon as Pei Xiangxiang heard this, he knew that he was going to attack Mrs. Yang again, so he quickly put down the egg in his hand and stood beside Mrs. Yang.

Yang was a little uneasy, "Mother, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"I obviously saved fifty eggs, but when I went to see them today, there were only less than thirty eggs left. Did you secretly take the more than twenty eggs away?"

Zhu's eggs were saved for Pei Xiufen. Pei Xiufen is the youngest daughter of Zhu and Pei Zhenglian, and because she can talk, Zhu has always been very happy, and she is Zhu's darling.

After Pei Xiufen got married, she gave birth to two daughters in a row. I heard that she was pregnant again this time. Mrs. Zhu saved up eggs and prepared to send them to Pei Xiufen to make up for her body. She never thought that she would lose more than 20. How could this make her Not in a hurry.

Yang waved her hands desperately, with a look of horror on her face, "Mother, how could it be, I didn't take it, and I wouldn't take it." Yang never thought about the things in the main house.

"You are still stubborn. A while ago, I asked you to go to the old family to help with embroidery. You went to the main room every day. You must have taken the opportunity to take the eggs away. Don't think that I am an old bone. I have a big forgetfulness. No Remember to count."

Mrs. Zhu was aggressive and decided that Mrs. Yang was the one who stole the eggs. This made Mrs. Yang feel wronged and unable to say anything. Even if there were so many things in the main house that they were placed in the yard, Mrs. Yang would not reach out to get anything.

Pei Xiangxiang's complexion changed, this was completely slandering, "Grandma, how could you wrong my mother, my mother went to the main room to help the eldest sister with embroidery work, and the uncle, eldest sister and second sister are all there, sure Can testify for my mother."

"You little girl, if adults are talking, do you have a child to intervene? Stand aside." Zhu Shi scolded.

"Mom, I really didn't take any eggs. What I cook today are all raw from my own chicken."

"Then tell me, if you didn't take the egg, who would it be? If you didn't take it, then I'll go in and search for it."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhu was going to forcibly enter the house to search, and seeing Mrs. Yang's eyes filled with tears and about to cry, Pei Xiangxiang was very helpless. Thinking that Mrs. Zhu had mentioned this, Mrs. Yang didn't even resist. It's no wonder that the Pei family isn't being bullied.

"Grandma, I don't know who took this egg, but it must have nothing to do with my mother. Don't think that my mother is easy to bully and push everything on my mother. Anyone in or outside the village who doesn't know my mother is the most honest , if this gets out, grandma will be the one who will have no face at that time, not only will she not manage the family strictly and make a family thief, but she will also wrongly blame her daughter-in-law."

Pei Xiangxiang has always been a person who will not offend me, but if someone wants to bully her, she can't control Pei Xiangxiang in the past, but now she can't allow others to trample on her at will. As for her parents, they don't allow others to bully her.

Being robbed by Pei Xiangxiang, Zhu stomped her feet angrily, "You, you, you... rebelled, really rebelled."

"Xiangxiang, what are you talking about?"

"What I'm talking about is the truth. If grandma really wants to search, it's not impossible. Uncle, third uncle and fourth uncle's house should also be searched. This is only fair. Otherwise, why should my house be the farthest from grandma's house, but the most suspicious , only searched my family, isn’t it obvious that our family is easy to bully.”

Pei Xiangxiang didn't give in. She is small, but it doesn't mean she has a bad brain, especially now that she is not a child in the true sense. You know, her eight-year-old body lives in a modern soul with a psychological age of nearly thirty.
