Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 34 Purpose
It's November in the blink of an eye, and the atmosphere of Chinese New Year is getting stronger and stronger.

Yesterday, the three brothers and sisters went to Feixian Town to buy a lot of things, and Mrs. Zhao was willing to buy several catties of pork. Du Xiaoyu brought back two big bones by the way. He hadn't had bone soup yet. , I am growing my body, so I don't need these.She wants to grow taller in the future, at least not shorter than Du Huanghua.

At the same time, I also bought big red paper for writing couplets, firecrackers and so on.

As for the couplets, Du Wenyuan was naturally the one to write them. Anyway, if you look at the ones in the town, there is no one more beautiful than him.

Although it's winter, her father Du Xian is still very busy, storing food for a while, repairing the ridges for a while, and fertilizing the wheat for the next spring.

"Father, go wash it up, it stinks to death." Seeing that Du Xian came back to hug her without washing his hands, Du Xiaoyu quickly stepped aside, the manure here is still often used in manure, sometimes blowing it all over the yard It's all that smell, it's really unbearable.Speaking of this, I have to mention the toilet. She must improve it when she has time in the future, so let's live together for now.

"I still despise my father." Du Xian nodded at her, but obediently went to fetch water.

Du Xiaoyu ran to the stove, "Sister, is the bone soup ready?"

"I'm just thinking about eating, and I'm not willing to get off the kang right now." Du Huanghua couldn't help laughing at her. She had been nestling all this time, and she knew she would come down after buying meat.

Du Xiaoyu just chuckled, wanting to drool when he smelled the fragrance.

"Okay, go and fix your dipping sauce."

The so-called dipping ingredients are minced garlic, minced coriander, crushed peanuts, soy sauce, salt, and sesame oil. There are also several ingredients that are not enough, such as chili noodles, pepper noodles, broth, etc., otherwise it can make it more delicious. .Du Xiaoyu used to like to stew meat soup, and then eat it with meat dipped in it, that's called a meal!She ran to the chopping board in a hurry, and started chopping with a knife.

When she was done, Du Huanghua had already arranged the meals.

Du Xiaoyu's dipping sauce was very popular, and everyone said that the meat became more flavorful, so she was naturally very happy.

"Sister, let's go to Uncle Pang's house to raise the cows in a few days?" Du Xiaoyu said happily while drinking the broth, "I cut several bales of grass for storage, and now I need a cowshed."

"When your father has time to build one, if the harvest is good next year, I will buy a few more sheep to raise." Mrs. Zhao answered, and then asked her husband, "Is there any straw in the wheat field? If it is too late, I will follow you in the afternoon." Let’s go together, it’s cold, I think it’s going to snow, and the seedlings can’t be frozen.” Their family has planted a lot of wheat this year, and if the fields are alternately planted with wheat and rice, they can become more fertile and increase the harvest. The weather here is also suitable, neither dry nor dry.

"It's not necessary, it's only an acre short of land." Du Xian patted Du Xiaoyu's head, "Dad will build a cowshed for you tomorrow," and said, "Huang Hua, tidy up the wood in the backyard this afternoon, see if it suits you." Heap the straw to the front, and move some straw for preparation."

Du Huanghua responded, and left half a bowl of rice for Du Xian, and he went out after eating.

In the afternoon, Mrs. Zhao went to Aunt Wu's side. Hearing that her daughter-in-law was happy, she had to go to Feixian Town immediately.Aunt Wu's son saved a lot of money as a shopkeeper. He bought a house in the town last year. He originally wanted to take Aunt Wu and his wife with him, but they were reluctant to part with their family's more than ten acres of land and were used to life in the village, so they refused. This trip was afraid that they would not come back until after the New Year, so the two of them had to talk for a while.

Seeing that Du Huanghua was busy alone, Du Xiaoyu took the initiative to wash the dishes. This is good in the countryside, there are a lot of firewood, and the stove is always covered with hot water, so it doesn't feel cold to wash dishes in winter.

Normally, Du Wenyuan didn't need to work. His main task was to study. Mrs. Zhao was distressed that his room was far from the kitchen and the kang was not hot enough, so he added a charcoal basin to his room, saying that it would be convenient for him to get off the kang to practice calligraphy.

Du Xiaoyu has long been used to this. In their house, studying is more important than heaven!

After she finished washing the dishes, she went to the yard to help Du Huanghua move the straw, guessing that Du Xian was afraid that the calf would be cold, so she took it to spread the shed.Thinking about it, the calf will leave his mother in just over a month, and it is really cold in the winter without anyone to rely on, so he said, "Sister, why don't you get some clothes for the calf? I'm sick from the cold. It's not good."

Du Huanghua laughed when she heard it, "You treat it as a human being, and still wear clothes?"

"It's a calf that hasn't been born for a long time. Sister, it cost four taels of silver! Aren't you afraid that it will really freeze?" Du Xiaoyu looked at the straw on the ground, "Teach me how to make these Clothes, the floor can’t cover the cattle.” There are a few coir raincoats at home, which are safe to wear when it’s raining and windy, and if the calf wears straw clothes, it probably won’t be cold.

Du Huanghua thinks about it too, anyway, this sister spends a lot of time on the kang, so she teaches her carefully for a while.

Seeing that she had almost learned, Du Huanghua went to the backyard to sort out the wood, and waited for Ming'er to build a cowshed for her father.

It is still sunny today, and the wind is not too strong. Du Xiaoyu moved a small stool and sat outside, basking in the sun while weaving clothes. When he was having fun, he heard two knocks on the door, "Small, Miss Xiaoyu " Then came the voice of the little girl stuttering, no need to guess that it was Tuesday, the voice was so cowardly.

Du Xiaoyu didn't expect her to come, this shy character thought that he would go to her house to look for it on his own initiative.

She put down her straw clothes, walked towards the door, and said with a smile, "Erya, you..." She paused in the middle of speaking, because there was another person standing next to Zhou Ya, her sister Zhou Daya.

Du Xiaoyu didn't want to see this person, her face turned cold immediately, "Ah, why is your sister here?" She didn't invite this person to play at home!

Zhou Daya inherited Mrs. Hong's temperament, and she was originally a bad tempered person, but this time she endured it, and said with a smile on her face, "The last time you brought my sister home was to treat her to dinner and to comb her hair. Yes, we didn’t thank you guys well, look, this is a snack I made with my own hands, it’s delicious, try it quickly.” He took out another rattle and shook it crackling, “Is it fun, I’ll give it to you .”

On the side, Tuesday Ya was staring at that thing greedily. This is what the younger brother usually plays with. She didn't even touch it. The eldest sister actually brought it out secretly and said that she would give it to Sister Xiaoyu. She was a little confused .

What a mess, Du Xiaoyu frowned, was he trying to please her?To be courteous for nothing, to rape or to steal, what purpose does Zhou Daya have this week?As soon as she took the rattle, she handed it to Zhou Ya, and said, "Come in when you come, Er Ya, come with me to bask in the sun," and said to Zhou Daya, "There is nothing to thank, since Er Ya Call me Sister Sheng, this is nothing, you should take the things back."

Daya Zhou almost twisted her mouth in anger, this dead girl is really hard to deal with, she stepped in and went straight to the main room, "I told you to try it, but I can't really take it back."

Not polite at all, do you have to drive her away?Du Xiaoyu was speechless looking at her back.

Du Huanghua heard voices inside, and she didn't know who was coming, so she came out to have a look. When she met Zhou Daya entering the room, she was smiling and talking nicely, so Du Huanghua told her to sit down and poured hot water for her drink.

It seemed that it was not easy to catch up, so Du Xiaoyu ignored it after one glance, and talked to Ya Zhou outside.

"You sit whatever you want, I still have work to do, why don't you go out to bask in the sun too?" Du Huanghua stood up after sitting with her for a while, with a slightly apologetic expression. Unlike Du Xiaoyu, she came to the door on her own initiative Gratitude is always treated with courtesy, but I feel that I have nothing to say to Zhou Daya, so my words are more tactful.

Daya Zhou hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, you can do your work."

Seeing that Du Huanghua had gone to the backyard, she picked up the bowl and drank the water, then poked her head around to look around.

After going back that day, she mentioned the matter of Du's family to her mother, Mrs. Hong, and realized that the boy was the youngest boy in their village. It seems that he doesn't have a good impression of the Du family, saying that the whole family is worthless and kicked out of the house. Even if they are admitted to the scholar, they probably have no ability.

But people like that are really rare, they are so handsome and can read, she blushed thinking about it, and tiptoed out.

"Where are you going?" Du Xiaoyu was thinking why this person hadn't left yet, but when she looked back, she looked like a thief, something must be wrong!
Zhou Daya was taken aback, calmed down and said, "Your sister asked me to look around, I have never been here, I want to see your house, if you don't believe me, go ask your sister."

"What's so good about our house? Isn't it just four earthen houses? It really depends on you going to the village head's house to see it. It's so beautiful!" Du Xiaoyu thought it was funny to use her sister to oppress others.

Choked by her words, Zhou Daya bit her lip and said half aloud, "I heard that your brother is studying at Master Liu's place, right? Now that Master Liu is injured, isn't it impossible to study? Then at this moment Are you at home?"

Suddenly asked Du Wenyuan again, Du Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes, "Yes, my second brother is at home."

Daya Zhou was overjoyed, walked over a few steps, and took out three purses from her arms, "I embroidered this, I should thank you brothers and sisters, Erya is often at home alone, and has no companion to play with, I would like to trouble you to take care of her. Look, this one is for you, this one is for your elder sister, and this one is for your second brother." She stammered a bit.

Du Xiaoyu took it and took a look at it, it was really hard for her to bring a purse, but why did Du Wenyuan look the best?The most delicate embroidery is mandarin ducks playing in the water!But the two of them were completely free to deal with, she turned her eyes on Zhou Daya's face, and suddenly smiled, "I want this, my second brother is a man, why do you want such a beautiful purse?" After talking for a while, he put the three purses in his arms, "Give me these two too, Erya is playing with me anyway, my sister and brother are usually not free, so I can't talk about taking care of them. "

Zhou Daya's hard work was in vain, and she couldn't tell what she was suffering. Du Xiaoyu snorted when she saw this, and turned around to continue weaving straw.

Only on Tuesday shrunk her shoulders, not understanding why her sister's face was so ugly, as if she was about to hit someone, so she quickly lowered her head.

Finally it’s not a zero egg, thank you xiaojiu children’s shoes O(∩_∩)O~~~~~~~
