Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 62
Waking up in the morning, Du Xiaoyu found that Aunt Wu was actually there, talking to Mrs. Zhao, and Du Xian next to her was smiling very happily, as if there was some happy event.She hurriedly put on the blue and white gown, and walked in while tying it up, wanting to hear what they were talking about.

Aunt Wu smiled when she saw her, "Xiaoyu is hardworking, he got up so early." Then she said to Zhao, "I'm leaving now, I have to go to the field to clean up."

Mrs. Zhao also stood up and walked her all the way to the gate of the courtyard, and faintly heard words of thanks coming from her.

Du Xiaoyu became more and more strange, "Father, what is Aunt Wu doing here so early?"

"Good thing!" Du Xian said, "Your Aunt Wu said that her son made a few friends a few days ago and they were in the pickle business. They ordered it there, and now they are in urgent need of vegetables. Isn’t our three acres of land planted a lot, and her son set up a line, and hired a car to collect it in the afternoon!”

It's really a good thing, otherwise it would take a lot of work for them to drag the things from the field to the town to sell, and it would be convenient to take them away at once. Du Xiaoyu laughed, "We will be busy at that time." Pulled out from the ground, sorted and piled up, then asked, "Where are my sister and second brother?"

"Your sister is in the kitchen." Du Xian pointed to the backyard. "Is there another one? She was driving stakes there before dawn!" He shook his head, "I don't know if he made him worship the wrong master. Mother blames me, it's like being possessed by evil spirits, this kid, does he want to go to the martial arts exam?"

Speaking of which, Du Wenyuan has indeed been working too hard recently. Du Xiaoyu thought about running to the backyard, and saw him punching shirtless, sweat streaming down in streams, and his fair skin turned red.

"Second brother, take a rest." She said, "It's really like what dad said, you want to take the martial arts championship?"

Seeing that it was her, Du Wenyuan took a towel to wipe off his sweat and put on his coat before turning around and smiling, "It's just my skill? Don't be ridiculous, I want to learn self-defense."

Listening to the understatement, Du Xiaoyu picked up a ladle and scooped some bran to feed the chickens. After the big rooster was killed and eaten, the hens were harmonious and did not rush to eat, but it would be better to raise another rooster. Can hatch chickens!She swallowed, the authentic local chicken is delicious, and if there are chickens in the future, it should be no problem to get one every month to satisfy my cravings.

She was so determined that she stopped talking suddenly, Du Wenyuan pushed her, "Aren't you going to have breakfast? It's your birthday today, sister made delicious food."

"Ah?" Du Xiaoyu was stunned, and then realized that it was March [-]th in the blink of an eye, and it was her eighth birthday. She scratched her head, "I forgot."

Inside, Du Xian was also calling to come over, and the two walked into the main room one after the other.

There is a large bowl of Timmo on the table. Timmo is a kind of porridge. It is very troublesome to make. First, you need to add water to grind the millet into a water paste. The peanuts and cowpeas need to be boiled, the vermicelli is ready, and various vegetables are washed. Keep ready.Then fry the onion and ginger with oil, put it away, pour water, add seasoning, various ingredients, add millet paste and cook together, and finally pour in the fried onion and ginger oil, stir well and it's done.

Du Xiaoyu held it and smelled it, and praised, "It smells so good, sister, your craftsmanship is getting better and better." Can't wait, he dug his mouth and put it in his mouth, all kinds of aromas immediately filled his mouth, and the porridge was smooth and glutinous Waxy, she couldn't stop eating.

"Be careful of choking, there are still more." Du Huanghua smiled, and returned to the kitchen to fill up a few more bowls.

Du Xian took a bite and nodded, "It's all covered with little fish, how can I usually have the time to cook this?"

Du Xiaoyu thought of something at this moment, "Isn't it my birthday, why didn't you cook a bowl of noodles for me?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao laughed and said, "If you are an old lady, you still want to eat longevity noodles? Look at this girl, how old is she, and she is thinking about decades later."

It turns out that you have to be so old to eat noodles on your birthday here. Du Xiaoyu knew that he had said something wrong, so he lowered his head and ate the porridge desperately.

The others laughed.

After the meal, the whole family went to the field to harvest vegetables. The three-acre land was still very large. Du Xiaoyu was tired after a while, so he sat on the ground to rest. Du Wenyuan came over with a vegetable, "I see your cold The melon seedlings are growing on the ground now, and when I went back to Fucheng, I met a family who grows cold melons, and he said that at this time, we need to put more fertilizer, and the vines will be able to branch out several branches."

"Is there another one like this?" Du Xiaoyu said, "Then what kind of fertilizer should I put?"

"Dung and water." Du Wenyuan knew that she was always afraid of smells, so he couldn't help laughing while talking.

Taking pleasure in other's misfortunes, Du Xiaoyu said angrily, "You didn't lie to me, did you? Do you have to ask for feces?"

"It's good to lie to you?"

That's right, Du Xiaoyu stared at him, "Second brother, you practice martial arts every day, are you in good health?"

"Huh?" Du Wenyuan took a step back, turned around and left, "Mother is calling."

This unfilial!Du Xiaoyu poohed, said that she was faster than anyone else in picking dung, look, look, let him study and spoil her, but she won't do some dirty work, and she has to find her father, Du Xian.

She shook her head, this is not a problem, anyway, Du Huanghua is going to the town soon, and seeing Du Xian and Zhao's hard work every day is also very reluctant, if you hire a farmer, you can at least share some of the hard work.

In the afternoon, when those people finished collecting the food and gave the money, she shared her idea. Du Huanghua was the first to agree, saying that Mrs. Wan would not only provide food and lodging, but also promised to give three slings of money every month to subsidize the family. Du Xian was also afraid Mrs. Zhao tried hard and tried to persuade Mrs. Zhao, thinking about the money she had accumulated, and seeing that the family really had no other burdens, she agreed, and went to Mrs. Qin at night.

Qin's work is not sloppy, and he will bring people here within two days.

His name is Zhong Daquan. He has long arms and legs and a strong body. He looks very responsible. After negotiating the price, he started using it. Zhong Daquan and his family are not far away. They agreed to come over during the busy season and help with work on weekdays. It is very convenient to say that it will come.

Du Xiaoyu wanted to see his efficiency, so she immediately called to pick up manure for the cold melon field, and she was very satisfied with the result. This man has quick hands and feet, great strength, and he doesn't listen to orders even if she is a child, which is very good.

A few days later, Du Wenyuan and Du Huanghua finally went to the town, but Du Xiaoyu didn't send them off, only Du Xian and his wife went, and she stayed at home to watch the house, anyway, there will be more opportunities in the future.

After returning, Du Xian was very happy, saying that the two rooms prepared by Wan's family were very good, as if they were for young masters and young ladies, but Mrs. Zhao was a little worried, fearing that it would be inconvenient for the two of them to live under the fence.

Today, Du Xiaoyu thought of the Bai family's dog, so she told Mrs. Zhao that she wanted to raise one, and she was a little worried that she would not agree, but the result went well, Mrs. Zhao just let her take care of it.

Du Xiaoyu was very surprised. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that since the sunset that day, her mother's attitude towards her has changed, which is probably human nature.

She took the money and went to Bai's house.

Seeing Du Xiaoyu came, Mrs. Cui was very enthusiastic and asked Bai Lianhua to serve tea and water, "I heard that your brother and sister have gone to town, when will your brother come back? The academy will be closed, right?"

"It's said to be nine days of study and two days of rest."

"Oh, that's good, otherwise I'd be too tired." She looked at her daughter, "Lianhua, you see that Brother Du has passed the exam, you also need to know a little bit more, and I will ask for advice next time, isn't it?" Did you write a letter?"

Still planning this matter, Du Xiaoyu glanced at Bai Lianhua. Although this girl has plans for her eldest sister, she doesn't seem to be really interested in her second brother. Yellow flowers.Cui's efforts are really wasted, her daughter is so good at pretending to be stupid, she doesn't know her true intentions at all.

"Auntie, I'm here to pick a dog." Du Xiaoyu pointed out why he came.

"Oh, the dog is over there, Lianhua quickly take your sister Xiaoyu there." Cui Shi said.

Du Xiaoyu followed Bai Lianhua out of the door, and saw that big dog was taking its children to bask in the sun. The four puppies were round and cute, some were black and white, some were yellow and white, and the colors were different, hugging each other. play.

She knelt down and took a closer look, and saw that one of them was very calm, and it didn't move when it saw outsiders. It just sat vigilantly, and its almond-shaped eyes looked at her with curiosity.And its coat color is most like a big dog, with a black back, dark brown belly, back and four legs.

"Just this one." Du Xiaoyu said, and turned to look for Cui Shi, "Last time my aunt said to sell it to me, would it be okay for fifty renminbi?" Short hands.

Cui quickly retreated, "How can this be done?"

Du Xiaoyu didn't care, and put the money on the table, "I will be scolded by my mother if I don't accept it."

Seeing her earnest face, Cui thought to herself that next time she can return it to her mother, so she pretended to accept it and let Bai Lianhua accompany her to talk for a while.

Du Xiaoyu had nothing to say to her, and left with the puppy in his arms.

But when she passed the room on the east side, she couldn't help but stop, and when she looked back, she saw that Cui's mother and daughter had already returned to the room, so she hesitated for a while, and finally walked lightly to the door.

The door was open, Bai Yushi was sitting in front of the desk reading a book, when he heard the voice, he turned his head.

She was just curious about what Du Huanghua said, and wanted to find out if Bai Yushi really said this or was he trying to get him?
"You are?" Bai Yushi asked in a low voice.

Du Xiaoyu replied, "Du Huanghua is my eldest sister."

Bai Yushi was taken aback for a moment, and found that the little girl in front of him was indeed somewhat similar to Du Huanghua, but upon closer inspection, there was a huge difference, her gaze was so compelling that it reminded people of the flames in the stove.

He didn't know what to say for a moment, he just looked at her.

This silence made people irritated. Du Xiaoyu wanted to question him, but found that he couldn't do it by himself. It's hard to speak ill of a patient, right?She looked up and around his room, trying to resist the urge.

However, when she saw a painting hanging on the wall, her eyes were fixed on it. This painting was exactly the same as the veil that Du Huanghua embroidered that night. The white lotus folded on the shore, the ripples reflected the broken lotus image, endless sadness...
