Chapter 14: Second aunt's house
Chapter 14 Second Aunt's House
"Grandpa and Grandma!" The three siblings shouted in unison.
"Hey! Come on, sit down! Are you done with your work at home?" said Grandpa Li.
"You're almost too busy, Mom and Dad, how are you?
I brought you some food. If you need anything else, just say it. " Father Li replied.
"It's all good, we won't go back for a while, you should watch more at home."
"Who asked you to come? Don't look after the house!" Grandma Li scolded angrily.
"I know, I'll be back in a while. If you want me to pick it up, bring a letter back."
Li Ma gave Li Ergu on the corridor, Li Ergu said.
"Fourth sister-in-law, help me watch the fish in the pot, I'll go out and make a meat dish."
Li Ergu went to the restaurant to order a pot of braised pork, and bought 15 steamed buns and a pot of rice.
Those who came back together were Uncle Hu Er, three cousins and one cousin.
"Four uncles and four aunts!"
"Second uncle, cousin, cousin."
After a while, the cousins greeted each other and started setting the table for dinner.
A pot of pickled fish, a pot of braised pork, a pot of cold cucumber, a pot of egg soup, steamed bread, white rice.
A very hearty lunch, surrounded by a table full of people, Uncle Hu Er, Grandpa Li, and Father Li all poured a glass of wine in front of them, tasted it slowly, and chatted about family affairs.
"Fourth brother, how is the food production at home this year?
Look at you, and brought food to my family. Your family also has several children.
It's time to grow your body, it's too expensive! "Uncle Hu Er said to Father Li very politely.
"Isn't that your parents here this year? So I'll send some more.
Besides, now food is purchased by ticket, and you also have a quota.
Right now, the public grains have just been handed over in the rural areas. Some people still have more grains. Do you want them?
If you want, I will find some for you. "
"Yes, 300 catties of wheat, 100 catties of rice, and 100 catties of cornmeal.
I'll go get some defective products, and when Xiaoyan is on vacation, we'll go back together. "Second Gu Li hurriedly responded.
"Okay, there is a fish for the eldest sister, you can send it to her, and I won't go."
When came home, the afterglow was already shining, and the family closed the door and began to count the harvest.
One bottle of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, one pound of lamp oil, one pack of candles, two toothpastes, six toothbrushes, ten notebooks, ten pencils, two packs of white sugar, two packs of brown sugar, two lunch boxes…
"Isn't there a pot at home? Why did you buy it again?" Seeing that she bought another pot, Li Ma was puzzled.
"I brought it for my colleague." Father Li hurriedly explained.
These things are all requested by the youngest daughter and cannot be disclosed to the family.
After finishing packing, Li Xiaoyu remembered that the barrels and wooden basins at home were still in the space, and hurriedly slipped out and released them.
After eating, washing and resting, before going to bed, I recited three secret recipes.
turned around again, inspecting the fish in the river, and Li Xiaoyu went out to sleep in a satisfied space.
Exercise in the morning, and also draw a gourd in the same way, but it is no longer astringent and has a sense of smoothness.
"Dad, I think my strength has increased." Li Chengji gestured with his fist squeezed.
"Me too, I think I can lift a big bucket of water now."
"I feel the same way, maybe it's because of my martial arts practice!
Practice more, maybe you will become a master! "
Father Li became more interested when he heard that he had a door.
Li Xiaoyu secretly said: You are nonsense, obviously it is the credit of the well water, I hide the credit and fame.
When he got home, Father Li secretly gave Li Xiaoyu the pot and asked her to put it away.
Li Xiaoyu said to Li's father: "Old man, give me two more pots.
Also get more snakeskin bags, chicken coops, and put the chickens up.
It's better to get some quilts or something. Anyway, it's all the things that can be used at home, so get me some.
And there are more, a few big jars and baskets!
Don't forget my fruit trees and piglets. "
Life slipped through the daily trivialities and entered the hot July.
Li Ma was working in the field without stopping.
Lee Seung-sik officially became an elementary school graduate. Since both older brothers were on vacation, the housework was also taken over by the two older brothers.
In July, the fragrance of rice flowers and the croaking of frogs, the hot night is a good time to photograph the eels.
Father Li would take the children to take photos of eels on the field ridge when they were enjoying the shade.
You will also see several waves of other villagers on the ridge, and everyone tacitly avoids them in advance.
A torch, a tongs, and a wooden barrel.
Simple tools will always bring back a few eels, which will become a rare meat for the family.
Eel, also known as eel, lives in mud caves in paddy fields. The meat is tender and delicious, rich in nutrients and delicious.
has the effect of nourishing qi, nourishing blood, nourishing liver and kidney, and is a nourishing food that is very suitable for summer and autumn.
Li Xiaoyu sat bored at the gate of the courtyard. The weather was hot and he didn't like to go out.
I don’t even want to play with friends. It’s really the heart of an old aunt. Watching my friends play hide and seek and play house, I feel so naive.
Can't afford to play! Can't afford to play!
A jeep drove into the village, attracting a group of children to chase and some adults to watch.
The car was parked at the gate of the courtyard, and before the people in the car got off, they were surrounded by a tight circle.
There are daring children who will step forward to touch them twice, but the timid ones just watch from a distance.
Grandpa Li, Grandma Li, Ergu Li, Uncle Hu Er, and Li Xiaoyan got out of the car.
Several villagers greeted Ergu Li and Ergu Hu warmly, talking and laughing, hoping to get acquainted with each other.
"Grandpa and grandma, second aunt and second uncle, eldest sister!" Li Xiaoyu ran forward to greet him warmly.
Li Xiaoyu happily went to support his grandparents: "Grandpa and grandma, I'll support you."
Grandpa Li smiled, Grandma Li glared at her.
"Where's your mother? Come on, tell her to come out to entertain the guests."
"My mother is still working in the field and will be back later, so I will call my mother back."
"Go!"
Li Xiaoyu rolled her eyes to the sky, what an unpleasant old lady.
She called Ma Li back, and by the way found her two brothers.
Da Da Li's family, who came to hear the news, and the second father Li's family filled the main room.
Mama Li saw her and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Snowflake, go and boil some water, and then cook the whole family's meals.
It is rare for the family to get together and eat here tonight. "Grandma Li told Mama Li loudly.
Li Ergu handed over a piece of meat: "Fourth Sister-in-law, I brought a knife of meat, you can cook it."
Li Ma took the meat into the kitchen, looked at the empty kitchen with a sad face, sighed, and instructed her two sons.
"Go to the private plot to see, and pick up any edible vegetables."
"Second brother, let's go get some fish, there is no food at home, or my mother will be scolded again."
Li Chengji nodded clearly: "Little brother, you go to the private plot to pick some garlic sprouts, cucumbers, green vegetables, and celery.
My little sister and I went to the river to see if we could get some fish back.
You tell Mom, we'll be back in a while. "
Li Xiaoyu and Li Chengji took the bucket and slipped to the river to find a place where no one was there.
Li Xiaoyu released two five-pound grass carp and sat on the side of the road waiting for Li's father to come home.
"Why are you two staying here if you don't go home?"
"Dad, we are waiting for you!" Li Chengji replied.
"What's the matter? Is there something wrong at home?"
"Old man, how did you know?"
"Haha, because I'm your dad!"
"There are guests at home, you will know when you go back." Li Chengji said.
