By the time Xu Qiaojun's group arrived at the tea forest, the girls who had arrived early had already picked up more than a dozen or twenty tea seeds.The terrain of the North Mountain Camellia Forest is good, there is a river on the left, a steep cliff on the right, and there are two connected mountains behind it.This is the only way to enter the tea forest, and the wooden door is locked, so no one wants to enter.Xu Qiaoer followed her two sisters to pick up tea seeds at the age of five, only this year she changed the core, Xu Qiaojun is a big girl sitting in a sedan chair, the first time, looking around, the ground is full of fallen leaves, how can there be any tea seeds to turn around, peaches have been picked up three.In fact, there are still missing tea seeds on the tree, but the camellia tree is a small evergreen tree with lush branches and leaves, which is not easy to see; The tea seeds on the ground are not visible at a glance, so you have to rummage carefully.Some people have many children, good eyesight, fast hands and feet, and in two or three days, they can pick up more than 100 catties of tea seeds and squeeze out more than 30 catties of tea oil, saving some use, and can be used for a year and a half.Picking up tea seeds is not a technical job, Xu Qiaojun looked at it for a while, and then knew how to find tea seeds, took a small bamboo rake, raked it in the east, raked it in the west, and let her find several tea seeds wrapped in green skin.At noon, the girls, who had picked up most of the morning's tea seeds, sat under the tree and ate food from home."
Qiao'er, you eat sweet potatoes again."
Peaches pouted in disgust, "This year's harvest is not bad, your father is still working part-time on the dock, and if you get the wages back, can your mother need to save so much" Xu Qiaojun smiled bitterly, she didn't want to eat, and she didn't want to save so much, but who made the person in charge was Lu Chunjiao, and she didn't think of a way to change the status quo for the time being, so she could only resign herself to eating sweet potatoes."
Don't eat sweet potatoes, eat green onion cakes, I specially brought a few more, just to share them with you."
Peaches opened the oiled paper packet and there were six green onion cakes inside."
No need, I'll just eat sweet potatoes."
Xu Qiaojun peeled off the sweet potato skin and sighed secretly.Although there are rich and poor people in Sanjia Village, because they are all relatives and help each other, there is no other village where there is no one who eats this meal without a meal.After the Xu brothers got married, although they split up and supported their families according to their abilities, Xu Shuncheng was a hard-working person, and the conditions at home were also at a medium level, and there was no need to eat sweet potatoes every day, Lu Chunjiao was too frugal.Peaches reached out and snatched the sweet potato, "You eat it every day, you haven't been tired of eating it, let's eat green onion cakes, my mother put bacon, it's fragrant and delicious." ”"Qiao'er, the peaches were specially given to you to eat, so you can eat them."
Peach Blossom also gave the pumpkin steamed buns she brought to Xu Jia'er to eat.The other girls also generously took out the food they brought and shared some with the girls they were friends with, and no one wanted to eat the sweet potatoes of the three sisters of the Xu family.After the girls had eaten this simple meal, they continued to look for tea seeds in the woods.There is still a difference between Xu Qiaojun, a novice, and these veterans of Peaches, most of the time, Peaches picked up almost three catties, and Xu Qiaojun picked up less than a catty.Xu Yier, the sister who loves her sister, attributed this gap to the fact that Xu Qiaojun had a wound on her head and couldn't keep her head down, so she didn't find much.Xu Qiaojun was very cheeky to take this as a reason and persuaded himself, but Lu Chunjiao didn't recognize this reason, went out and came back, pointed to the three sisters of the Xu family, and scolded loudly: "What's the use of raising you three fools, waste the old lady's food, pick up this for a long time, only to pick up such a little tea seeds, you are dead, your hands are broken and your feet are disabled, or your eyes are blind, in such a large tea forest, you picked up such a little tea seed back, less than last year."
One person picks up more than all three of you.Are you going to go somewhere else to go crazy, crazy, you three stupid things, pig brains, what's the use of raising you to do things to grind, coax your father and mother, raise a pig I can still kill meat to eat, raise a chicken can still get down" "Bao'er damn, what's the matter, I heard you scold from afar. ”A woman in her forties pushed open the open door and entered."
Auntie, why do you have time to come" Lu Chunjiao saw the guests coming, put away her anger, put on a smiling face, and greeted her.Xu Yi'er and Xu Jia'er shouted, "Grandma Man." ”Xu Qiaojun didn't know who came, so she took a step slowly, and waited for her sisters to shout before she said, "Grandma Man." ”"Hey, good boy, put the tea seeds in the backyard, take advantage of the good weather, dry and cracked to squeeze oil."
This woman is the wife of Xu Shuncheng's uncle Xu Mingbai, surnamed Fang, and named Mei.Fang Mei heard Lu Chunjiao's scolding so much, she couldn't listen to it anymore, relying on the elders, and planning to rely on the old man to help the children, she didn't have so many scruples, and pushed the door in to stop Lu Chunjiao from scolding.After Fang Mei broke the siege, Xu Yier picked up Xu Bao'er, Xu Jia'er and Xu Qiaojun sisters took the bamboo basket, quickly shifted their positions, and went to the back of the courtyard, secretly glad that they escaped today, and they didn't have to listen to Lu Chunjiao's scolding for half an hour."
Auntie sat down and talked."
Lu Chunjiao moved a small square stool for Fang Mei to sit on, and quickly went to the stove room to pour a glass of water, and handed it to Fang Mei, "Auntie has something to find me" "Your Liwen brother's good day is set for the eighth day of October." ”Fang Meile said hehehe."
Congratulations to my aunt, this happy event is coming one after another, I just added a golden grandson, and I am going to marry a little daughter-in-law, and I will add a little golden grandson next year, and I am full of joy."
In addition to being criticized in treating her three daughters, Lu Chunjiao has done a good job in other aspects."
Accept your words."
Fang Mei's smile deepened a little."
If you want to help, my aunt will give an order, and I will be there at will."
Lu Chunjiao said with a smile."
That's what I mean, you have to come and help me for a few days then," Fang Mei said with a smile."
Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely go when the time comes," Lu Chunjiao said with a smile."
Bao'er damn it, my daughter is like a day by day, and she also wants to be faced, don't scold and scold like this all day long, if you have anything to say, they will listen and be sensible."
Fang Mei kindly persuaded Lu Chunjiao to treat her three daughters well, and said a few words about her daughter's being at home for more than ten years, marrying far away, and rarely seeing each other in a year, so that she cherished this short and precious time.Lu Chunjiao responded vaguely and disagreed.Fang Mei saw that Lu Chunjiao didn't want to listen to the teaching, and she didn't give a desperate persuasion, and the nephew and daughter-in-law in the next room were not her own daughter-in-law, so she couldn't do something disgusting, so she opened the topic, chatted a few words, and got up to leave."
Yi'er, what time is it, you haven't died yet, come out to cook."
Lu Chunjiao sent Fang Mei away, turned her head and rushed to the back, shouting loudly.Xu Yier hurriedly put down the things in her hand, walked out from behind quickly, and went into the stove room to wash rice and cook rice.------ digression------ note: I used our dialect here to refer to Grandma Man, who refers to uncle and grandmother.Full is what uncle means.It may not be full of this word, but this sound, just use this word
