Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 12

"What about the pole used to harvest rice and wheat in previous years?" Grandpa Xiaoqiao asked.These things are retting with pig manure, isn't it all fat?

Uncle Wu saw that Ye Zhu couldn't speak, so he smoothed things over, "Father, brother-in-law is here today, you should have a few more drinks."

After a while, I changed the topic to other places. Uncle Wu's crooked building skills are very good, and he deserves to be a rascal.

At noon, Xiaoqiao's uncle and aunt had dinner at the owner's house, and they didn't come back. On the contrary, Xiaoqiao's two cousins, Xiaofeng and Xiaojin, came back, covered in ashes, and were scolded by their grandma, also smiling. , I guess it happened often, and then my face and hands were washed amidst the scolding. Seeing Xiaoqiao, my cousin, I was also happy to show her my spoils. It turned out to be a bug that I didn’t know where to catch. She had to scream, but Xiaoqiao was very calm. She was not afraid of bugs and the like, but she was afraid of mice and snakes. When she saw a mouse, she would definitely scream. This is not blowing, it is true.

So she and Xiaofeng's half of the house is cleaned every day, and they are determined not to let mice in. If it is possible, she would like to raise a cat, but Guo will not agree, because cats also need to eat. Where can it be provided?

When eating, Mrs. Xiaoqiao put the meatiest chicken legs into her bowl. Xiaoqiao saw that the two little cousins ​​were staring, so she put the chicken legs into the bowls of the two little cousins. Chickens are rarely killed throughout the year, and my uncle's family also saw that Xiaoqiao couldn't eat well at home, so they killed a chicken on purpose.

"Xiaoqiao, you can eat by yourself, Xiaojin and the others have them, Xiaofeng and Xiaojin, give it to sister." Xiaoqiao's grandma said.

"Grandmother, it's okay, it's okay, there are so many chickens here." Xiaoqiao hurriedly picked up a few chopsticks of chicken.Wu Shi also said on the side: "Mother, it's okay. I hurt her from eating at her aunt's house a few days ago. Just leave her alone, Xiaojin, eat quickly, it's delicious."

Lotus said on the side: "Auntie, I like to eat places without meat. I like to eat chicken wings and chicken melon seeds."

Wu smiled and gave Lotus the chicken melon seeds, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

This meal was very enjoyable, and Ye Zhu over there was also fed too much, so the eldest aunt Zhang said: "You are not allowed to leave today, just stay here overnight."

Xiaoqiao's grandmother also said: "Yes, stay for one night, Miss Xiaoshan, didn't you say that you made shoes for Xiaoqiao and his brothers and sisters? Let Xiaoqiao try it later and see if it suits you."

This farewell can't be divided into their hands, and the shoes will not be snatched again. Mrs. Wu has no problem with this, because it is something given by the children's uncle's family. No matter how uncomfortable those sisters-in-law and Mrs. Guo are, that's fine. It can be said, and it is the shoes on the feet, not the food, and the food is shared.

If Mrs. Wu made shoes for the children at home, Mrs. Guo would beat around the bush and say that it was a waste of needlework, wasted materials, and wasted effort.The children are all old shoes, Xiaofeng can make shoes by herself now, this girl is a bit smart, she makes them quietly, and she is not afraid of what others say when she wears them.

Aunt Xiaoqiao's needlework is beautiful, and Xiaoqiao is really comfortable in her new shoes, "Thank you, Auntie!"

"This child, why should I thank you?" Mrs. Zhang said to Mrs. Wu: "Xiaoqiao has grown up, and he has become more polite when speaking."

Wu said with a smile: "One crazy girl." Although she said so, she loved her own child.

When Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu came back at night, they brought another piece of meat. The Aunt smiled and said, "Sister, I'm sorry, we're busy today and we didn't come back. Don't be offended."

Wu said with a smile: "Sister and sister, what you said, we are here now, it is not a festival, of course you have to finish the work, so that the master can rest assured."

The little aunt is also a straightforward person, so she didn't say anything, but gave Ye Xiaoqiao ten cents behind Wu's back, "Don't tell your mother, or she will talk again, Xiaoqiao, take it, and if a shopkeeper comes If you want to buy candy, you can buy it, but don't let other people in your family know, your sister and brother are fine."

"Little aunt, I can't take this money." Little aunt and the others worked hard to make money, and Ye Xiaoqiao knew that ten cents was a lot for a child.

"Nonsense, I'm your aunt, you can take it if I give it to you. Your eldest aunt has made shoes for you, but my little aunt doesn't have the skills. If I give you money, but you don't take it, my little aunt will be unhappy."

After hearing this, Xiao Qiao put away the money: "Thank you, little aunt!"

"Hehe, this girl has returned more courtesy." The little aunt touched Xiaoqiao's head and walked out as if nothing had happened.

If the little uncle gave it to Xiaoqiao secretly, Xiaoqiao really wouldn't dare to take it, otherwise there might be family conflicts if the little aunt finds out, but she won't be afraid if it was given by the little aunt.

Every time I go to grandma's house, why do I feel so sweet?It would be nice if I could be here every day, but that's unrealistic. When I went back the next day, Ye Xiaoqiao was a little bit reluctant to leave, and my uncle sent cousin Xiaoshan to the county early in the morning.

When Ye Zhu and his wife came back with Xiaoqiao, they heard that Ye Gen had already gone to the county. Old Man Ye, Boss Ye, Third Ye, and Tan Niu all went together, giving them away like a hero. I went. Originally, everyone in their school went to the county exam together, but according to Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Guo insisted that all the men in the family go to send them off.

"My mother-in-law went to the mountain to beg the Bodhisattva. Brother and sister, do you want your money back?" Because Mrs. Guo is not here, Mrs. Liu can say it.

"Sister-in-law, you don't know yet, can the eldest sister and second aunt give it? They didn't scold us to death, and even said they would cut off contact! These days, Li Xia's father is looking for part-time workers in the city, but how can there be such a thing?" Easy to find?" Wu said.

"I think so. As long as she can think about it, she doesn't look at what she did at the beginning. Isn't she sending people there now? There are ways to live with money, and ways to live without money. It's purely looking for trouble. These days are getting more and more sad." Liu sighed.

"Your natal nephew is also taking the exam this time." Liu asked.

"Well, this time." Wu Shi said.

"You're not here for the past few days, and we've been tortured in the East Wing. If you want me to say, it's all like this, it's better to go out to live, and you're not from Lao Ye's family. You will be separated sooner or later. What are you doing? Do you want to be angry here? Those who want to go out can't get out, and those who don't want to go out just stay."

Mrs. Wu knew that Mrs. Liu wanted to tell her about the separation of the family, and they had always had a good relationship, so she said, "Sister-in-law, what can you do? If Dad says we are useless this time, then we won't bear it anymore. It's better to make a fuss."

"Don't do it now, or you will be at a loss if you leave the house when the time comes? Why is it so cheap? We have sold our houses in this house!" Liu urged.

Wu said: "If it can be separated, I would rather go out of the house completely. Here we adults will be angry, so let's not talk about it, and the little one will follow suit. I am about to marry a wife in Lixia. After two houses What should we do? Don’t think about ourselves, but also think about our children.”

Mrs. Liu said: "That's right, my family's Lichun is coming soon? I want to separate the family more than you, but we are the boss and we don't know whether we can separate."

Alas, both sisters and sisters sighed, it would be great if they had money, they could send something to the clan if they had money, and then it would not be difficult to do something like the aunt and grandma.
