Full of food and color

Chapter 87
Baozhu knew that the third aunt cared about her, so she acted more sensible and diligent. She wiped the stove up and down after eating the custard. Her third aunt is not a fastidious person. Yes, the orbs were neatly packed in one place.There was already some hair oil on the chopping board, and the rags were lying around, the color was jet black, Baozhu had black lines all over her face, and she felt that Sangu must have wiped the bottom of the pot with a rag.I wanted to keep it for tomorrow and clean it up, but I felt so uncomfortable, so I lit a candle, took water from the outside and heated it up, and scrubbed it in the same way until my hands turned white, and the color of the rag was a little white. some.

Seeing that it was getting late, the third aunt of Baozhu urged her to go and have a rest. If there was anything else to say, she wiped off her sweat, folded the rag neatly and hung it up, put out the candle and followed her into the house.

"This room was originally a spare room, and the east and west wings are empty. The windows on the east side are bigger and brighter, so I will arrange it for you on the east side." Chen Cuixi took her hand and chattered, "Baozhu, go up and lie down. Give it a try and see if it's soft or not, and if it's not soft, I'll lay a few more layers for you!"

Baozhu reached out to touch the mattress on the kang, and replied with a smile: "When you touch it, it is thick, and it is much softer than the one in my room. There is no need to spread it again." She asked her again: "Where did you put my burden?"

"Baby! You're so careful, you can lose things at my aunt's house. I'll put them in boxes for you." Chen Cuixi said while uncovering the big wooden box next to the edge of the Kang, "This room The chests and cabinets in the store are all empty, and you can put the orbs wherever you want in the future, and if there are many empty ones, you may not be afraid that there will be no place to put them."

Baozhu's face was a little embarrassed, she stuck out her tongue, "Gu also rested earlier."

After she left, Baozhu took a closer look at this wing room. There was a kang, a large black wooden lacquered box, two small wooden cabinets, a small square table, and all the utensils were brand new. There are still some traces of broom strokes on the ground, obviously cleaned up in a hurry.

In the new environment, she didn't feel sleepy, she leaned on the kang and sighed, thinking that when Brother Jide came to her home, her mother's attitude was far worse than that of the kind Sangu, guess he was extremely depressed at that time, right?

Compared with my own hut, the new house is spacious and well-furnished. The bedding on the kang is also brand new, and even the surrounding smell is unfamiliar.If it wasn't the hut where she lived for eight years, it seemed that she would have to slowly get used to it in the future.

I don't know how are the parents?Brother Sipei probably knew about her departure later on.And Zhaodi, originally planned to ask his father to pick up Zhaodi when the wheat was harvested this year, but this year it will not work.

Zaba sighed, took out his little baggage from the lid of the box, took out some clothes and put them in the box, took out the snacks her mother had packed, and looked at them for a while, with a soft smile on the corner of his mouth Laughing, reluctant to eat, and carefully put it away in a small cabinet.

Feeling that it was getting late, he thought he would get up early tomorrow, so he extinguished the candle and lay down.

That night Baozhu didn't sleep well, and got up before it was bright outside.

The yard was empty, Sangu and Jide hadn't gotten up yet, Baozhu washed up and decided to feed the chickens first.She was not familiar with the county town, and wanted to pick some wild vegetables, but was afraid of getting lost, so she simply looked around, found some wheat bran from the kitchen, and mixed it with a handful of millet.

After feeding the chickens, she picked up the big bamboo broom and swept the yard. After finishing all these tasks, she heard some movement in the house.

Baozhu smiled, guessing that Mr. Jide was coming, so she went into the kitchen to prepare breakfast, because the third aunt was usually free, and this year she began to sell vegetables in the vegetable market at the east entrance of the county, so there were more vegetables in the house.

She picked two big radishes, kneaded the dough swiftly, kneaded the pancakes, heated up the oil, and put them in the pan. In less than half an hour, all the fresh shredded radish pancakes were out of the pan. The staple food was shredded radish pancakes, which were cooked again Corn mush.

When Chen Cuixi woke up, she smelled the aroma from the kitchen as soon as she left the house. She didn't care to wash it and came in to have a look. Diligent and skillful.

Seeing that the third aunt got up, Baozhu smiled and went to fetch water for her, but Chen Cuixi hurriedly stopped her, her face darkened suddenly, and she said, "Go, go, eat with Jide first, do you want me to serve you?"

Baozhu has always known Sangu's temperament, she knows that she is a real person, she doesn't know how to express herself very much, and sometimes she will say something abruptly, no wonder her mother would say that Sangu has a bad temper, but Baozhu can understand it, knowing that her I like her in my heart, so I am not annoyed, and happily go into the room to call Jide.

Baozhu yelled in the main room, but seeing that he didn't answer, she knew that Jide was still lying on the kang, so she rushed into the wing room in two or three steps, seeing that he was still huddled in the mattress, she giggled, She stuffed her icy hands into his neck.

Seeing Jide startled, he jumped up suddenly, with two big dark circles under his eyes, and looked at her angrily, Baozhu pouted plausibly: "The sun is drying my butt, my cousin still refuses to get up, so lazy !"

Jide rolled his big eyes, glanced outside, and muttered reluctantly, "My mother hasn't called yet! Don't bother me!"

Baozhu frowned, "Brother was in the house, in order to study, he almost didn't sleep all night. There was no money to buy candles in the house, and the kerosene lamps were used. The conditions were so poor, but brother could work so hard. Two Not to mention, brother, the first one to get up early every day to weed and catch insects in the vegetable garden. Oh, and brother Sipei, " just now, Ji De suddenly lifted the quilt and sat up, looking at her suspiciously, "Whispering!"

Baozhu sticks out her tongue at Jide, "Cousin is naked, shameless!"

Jide suddenly realized something, his face changed suddenly, he pulled the quilt to cover himself, gasping for breath, "Get out!"

Chen Cuixi entered the room, smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Jide on the forehead, "Stinky boy, I wake up so consciously on weekdays, I saw your sister coming yesterday, I was so excited that I didn't sleep!"

Jide snorted, "Who said that! I was studying late last night!"

Baozhu giggled, jumped up and down and ran out, "I'm going to serve the meal!"

Chen Cuixi picked up the bed sweeping broom and rushed to Jide, "Your sister is serving you, why don't you get up soon!"

When Baozhu entered the main room, Jide had already got up, he was still thinking about what happened just now, he didn't have a good face towards Baozhu, he obviously ate three pancakes in a row, but he said against his conscience: "I'm not a mother The leek pancakes made are delicious!"

Baozhu secretly sighed, this kid really holds a grudge.

Not long after breakfast, Mr. Liu, the teacher of Jide, came. They closed the door to study in the main room, and Baozhu followed Sangu to chat in the kitchen. Chen Cuixi said that Mr. Liu was in his sixties. An old scholar, his knowledge is not very good, but his teaching is quite satisfactory. It is enough to be a good teacher.

According to her, her family is just a small family, and it is even more difficult to invite a scholar. It is impossible to even think about it. Those who can read and write are better than his father.

Baozhu also sighed, the fee to invite a husband is a lot of money. Speaking of which, Sangu has invested a lot in accumulating virtue over the years.

The third aunt of Baozhu complained angrily, saying that Yuan also sent Jide to study in school for a few days, but he was naughty, and was sent back by his husband because of disobedience in a few days, Jide's father simply refused to let him study, But he made a fuss every day about wanting to be a scholar, which made her helpless, so she asked people everywhere, and then invited an old scholar.

After a while, Chen Cuixi went to the vegetable market with a big basket on her back, saying that she came back after going down the mountain in time for the sun, and told Baozhu to stay in the house. Come.

The chopping boards and pots and pans have to be washed, the kitchen floor has to be cleaned, and the door curtains are full of oily fingerprints, which also need to be washed.

After finishing these jobs, her arms and legs were tired and a little sore. Fortunately, the kitchen was completely refreshed, so she went into the room and lay down.

Bored, Bao Zhu thought about making money. Since she came to the county, she naturally couldn't let go of the opportunity to make money. Four hundred Wen was all her savings, but what could she do with this money?Of course, nothing can be achieved if you just think about it without doing it. Practice is her consistent principle.

It wasn't long, she listened attentively to the voices coming from outside, and it was about noon, outside was the voice of Jide saying goodbye to Master Liu respectfully, Baozhu got up and went to the main room to call Jide , "Cousin, take me to the street this afternoon to have a look."

Jide looked her up and down, and saw that Baozhu was still wearing the clothes she used to wear in previous years. This year, the cuffs on both sides were added, and the skirt was also a little shorter, and it was still patched.That is to say, his face has grown a bit, and he was a chubby little doll in the past, but in a blink of an eye, he has become watery, with a small oval face, round and round, looking at him with round eyes, and that lovely pair Little Tuerya, he unconsciously looked away, and snorted, "The country girl, I won't take you with me!"

Baozhu was not angry either, she smiled and moved closer to him to shake his arm, "Cousin, go, go, just go once, I just stay far away from my cousin!"

"No!" Jide shook his arm and turned to ignore her.

Baozhu knew that he probably cared about what happened in the morning, so she pretended to be wronged and sniffed, "Cousin won't take me to play, I'll go back to the house tomorrow!"

Ji De glanced at her, seeing Baozhu's pitiful face, he felt a little bit disappointed by her, "It's okay to go, I'll make radish pancakes tomorrow morning!"

Baozhu immediately accepted the grievance, and promised him with a smile, "I can eat whatever my cousin says, and I will make a lot of delicious food!"

Only then did Jide feel happy, and he went back to the wing room in two or three steps. When he came out again, he had a handful of money in his hand, "Mother gave the money, let's go to the stall to eat wontons!"
