Full of food and color

Chapter 7 Fire

It was almost noon when Chen Liushi's married third daughter, Chen Cuixi, came with her six-year-old son. Baozhu had hardly heard of this third aunt from her parents, but she only heard about this daughter from Chen Liushi at dinner last night. , got married early, and her husband's family is far away, separated by several villages.

As soon as he entered the door and had a face-to-face with everyone, he left his son to play in the courtyard, and went to the kitchen to find her mother and her younger sister. Except for Baozhu, only the second uncle and Baozhu's grandmother Li Shi, and Chen Cuixi's front foot were left in the room. After leaving, Mrs. Li curled her lips, "What kind of mother and what kind of baby, my niece is over the full moon, and she comes empty-handed and doesn't talk about it. She is dumb and has no rules. I really look down on them, the Chen family."

Baozhu stared at the two of them drowsily, and suddenly heard what Grandma Li said, she was almost amused, her cheek muscles twitched, and she managed to remain calm. After sitting for a whole morning, she felt a little hungry in her stomach, and looked through the window. Looking at the location of the kitchen, I hope that her mother will come to breastfeed soon.

Some guests came intermittently throughout the morning, mostly uncles and aunts of the same family, and villagers who are close friends with the Chen family. As soon as noon came, Mrs. Chen Liu came to greet Mrs. Li, "Big sister, dinner is ready."

Baozhu was also carried by Mrs. Wang and walked into the yard. The Chen family set up two tables in total. The men went to one table in the main room, and Mrs. Chen led a family of women and children to sit in the yard.

The space was still too crowded when the two large square tables were put together, so the adults hugged the children on their laps, Chen Liushi cleared his throat, "My granddaughter is full moon today, everyone has put down their work in the field and came here, you are welcome , just eat as much as you can! If you don’t have enough, go ahead!”

It was the third daughter of Chen Liu's family, the third aunt of Baozhu, who answered, "Hey! Mother is still as if celebrating the new year, and there are meat and eggs, come here, everyone, you are welcome, use your chopsticks!" He yelled at the chicken coop, "Jide, hurry up! It's all over, don't play!"

Chen Liu's old face blushed, and she responded again and again, "Yes, yes, everyone, let's start eating."

The third aunt's son is called Jide, and Baozhu couldn't help pursing her lips. The name was so formal, so she took a second look at Jide, and saw him playing in the haystack outside the chicken coop.

Baozhu didn't understand at first, although she was an orphan in her previous life, she had been growing up in the city, and she gradually understood the farm affairs in this life. Packed up, bundled together in piles and transported back home by ox cart for cooking.

Seeing that what Jide held in his hand looked like a torch, Baozhu blinked, and took a closer look, and saw Jide burying something in the straw stack deftly, then ran to his mother's arms, pointing at a plate of fried pork slices in the banquet hall and yelling Want to eat.

The third aunt Chen picked up a chopstick full of meat and put it into her own bowl, telling her son, "Eat quickly, there is more!"

Baozhu's mother, Wang, saw the boy's face covered with dirt and oil, and she became angry, but she couldn't see Chen Cuixi's poor appearance, so she reluctantly slowed down her tone and said without raising her eyes, "Third sister, I have to clean up for my son too." Pack it up and take it out, see how dirty the baby is?"

Chen Cuixi spat out a piece of bone with a "gulp", "I'll clean it up for him, and I'll turn it into a black monkey and come back in no time."

When Jide heard this, he was unhappy, sucked the snot that was about to get into his mouth, grabbed the bone from the side of the bowl, and threw it at Wang, hitting the orb in Wang's arms.

Everyone on the table was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly they heard Baozhu cry "wow", Wang hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped Baozhu's face, coaxing, "Baby, don't cry, mother will rub it for you." , our little Baozhu is going to be breastfeeding, so don’t cry!" Standing up and coaxing Baozhu, she turned her head and gave Baozhu three aunts a hard look, and then carried Baozhu into the West Room.

When Baozhu's mother was breastfeeding her in the west room, she heard Chen Liushi's voice scolding at the top of her voice from the courtyard. It's an excellent lesson.

When he came back again, he saw Jide wrinkled and dirty face, his eyes were red, obviously he had cried, Chen Cuixi looked very ugly, with chopsticks by the bowl, he reprimanded his son: "Cry again, mother!" Will I buy you candy!"

Jide really stopped sobbing, and said to his mother, "Mom, I'm full, let's go play later!"

Chen Cuixi originally wanted his son to eat more good food, but he was afraid that something would happen to his son again, so he didn't stop him, so he let him go.

There was such an unpleasant incident in the middle, and in addition to Chen Cuixi's extremely long face, Wang's mother's family looked very ugly. After a while, Baozhu's grandma Li put down her chopsticks first, and Baozhu's concubine followed her. , everyone present just took a few mouthfuls before putting down their chopsticks, and the atmosphere on the table was very weird for a while.

"Big sister, are you ready to eat? We don't have a lot of food today." Chen Liushi laughed dryly, looking for something to say, thought about it, and said reluctantly, "I'll do it again when the pearl is [-] days old. .”

With a cold face, Mrs. Li replied in a lukewarm manner, "I'm afraid that my old bones can't afford such a good meal. My granddaughter was smashed in the head before the full moon. I don't know what to do next time." What a look!"

The third aunt of Baozhu stood up in a "swish", "My aunt's words are too ugly! My baby has been scoured, and my mother has just taught me a lesson. What are you thinking? My baby has not been willing since I was a child." I've hit him, and today when Baozhu is full moon, his grandma will give you a good meal, it's enough for you to calm down."

With a sound of "clang", Fang'er, Baozhu's little sister, also stood up with a "boo", and the stool she lifted fell to the ground with a clatter, pointing at Mrs. Chen and angrily scolded: "What are you talking about? What are you talking about! What are you talking about with my mother?"

"Ouch, my mother, my sister-in-law, what are you doing, my three girls can't speak, so please forgive me, don't get angry."

Mrs. Li put a cold face on and scolded, "We're all a family, don't be ashamed, sit down soon!"

"That's right, that's right, the big girl is still sensible, Cuixi, just stop talking! Take care of your monkey in the future, or you won't come to my door in the future!"

Chen Liushi was busy smoothing things over, when suddenly his sleeves were pulled, and his grandson Runsheng pointed at the straw pile next to the chicken coop and screamed, "Grandma, look, it's on fire!"

Baozhu looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, thick black smoke had risen from the straw stack.

"My dear mother!" Chen Liu screamed and rushed to the stove. Everyone was dazed, and hurriedly followed Chen Liu to the stove, carrying buckets of water, and rushed to the stove. The fire was already raging in front of me.

Seeing Chen's son Jide hiding in the henhouse wall and looking out through the crack, Mrs. Wang understood, and sneered, "I'm afraid the whole stack of wheat hay will be burnt!"

The movement outside alarmed the men in the main room, and a group of people rushed to put out the fire.
