Seeing him staring at the plate in a daze, Du Wenxiu couldn't help but smile a little, picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched the fungus into his soup bowl."
If you think it's delicious, Qiao'er and I will pick more.When you come back, whether you have hit the mountain goods or not, let's go to the town and sell the fungus to try. ”"Hmm!"
Anyway, I've eaten so much, and it's not interesting to entangle these two or three flowers, and Lu Fanghai picked up all the chopsticks in his stomach.Before he put down the bowl, he heard the courtyard gate being slammed, and it was Qiu Yong and Lu Sangui who came to ask him to go into the mountains to hunt.It just so happened that the things had already been packed up, and he could pick them up and leave, and he carefully instructed him to close the door on weekdays, stay away from right and wrong, and wait for him to come back if there is anything to talk about.Lu Fanghai went to the hall to say goodbye to the Fang clan who had just gotten up, and the group of three left.When the Fang clan and the others finished breakfast together, they saw her looking at themselves with a tigerish eye, and her eyes were not good.Du Wenxiu didn't want to conflict with her, so he called Qiao'er to take the basket to the back mountain to pick fungus.And I think it rained a few days ago, so the fungus grows so well, maybe I can dig some bamboo shoots back.I didn't want to be said, I washed the pots and bowls and fed the chickens before going out, but I didn't think about it and was complained by Fang's about using too much water.Daughter-in-law of a ruined family.Out of the courtyard gate, Du Wenxiu breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Qiao'er who was pursing her lips and snickering next to her, and reached out and tapped her forehead."
Little girl, you still see my jokes."
Qiao'er couldn't help laughing."
My good sister-in-law, aren't all daughters-in-law like this?
Fortunately, my brother was in front, and my mother didn't dare to hit anyone.The sister-in-law of He, who planted our land, has raised two children, and she is beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law from time to time, and the eldest brother of the He family does not say a word, for fear of being chased by the old lady and scolded in the village for not being filial. ”Hearing her say this, Du Wenxiu shrank her head and stuck out her tongue."
It's scary, but I'm glad I wasn't beaten.However, if my mother beats me, it's not good for me to accidentally fight back and break her. ”"Haha, I can see that you don't suffer a loss."
Qiao'er smiled and stepped forward to take her arm and walked together, and the two sisters-in-law whispered."
Mother was not like this before, since my father was sick and bedridden, no one planted the land at home, and there was no income, my brother did not know his life and death for many years, and the land was almost forcibly occupied, if she was not powerful, I am afraid that if I can't wait for my brother to come back, our family will be eaten by this world.""
You see Aunt Lu always ran to our house these days, she didn't do this before, when my father was still there, she entered the hospital in the name of visiting my father, looking for things at home and moving them to my own house, my mother guarded my father, I was young, and I let her get a lot of things for nothing.""
Later, my father was gone, and there was nothing at home, so she gave our mother an idea to sell me.My mother didn't want to, so she ignored her, and then she came over less. ”Du Wenxiu quietly listened to Qiao'er chattering about the past, thinking that in this era of scarcity of materials, the life of the people at the bottom is really difficult."
It's okay, Qiao'er, your brother is back, our family will get better and better, don't worry."
Du Wenxiu patted Qiao'er holding her hand and comforted her."
Well, I know.A family can't do without a man, you see Sister Yulan's father paralyzed on the bed and can't move, as long as she is alive, Aunt Lu feels that her family is much better than ours.When my father was just gone, for many nights, there were people screaming outside the wall, knocking on the courtyard door in the middle of the night, and my mother hugged me, nesting on the bed and not daring to move. ”"One night, another thief jumped over the wall and entered the door, and the mother shouted and cursed at the top of her voice, startling the villagers who had returned late to come and check, which scared the man away.After that day, my mother didn't sleep for many nights, and gave the family's land to Brother He to plant, and entrusted them to take a look outside the courtyard at night from time to time, if there was anything at home, someone could hear it. ”"Later, the village caught the thieves who came to steal things from outside, killed one, and tied up the rest to report to the official.Although there is a lack of food and clothing, at least I can sleep soundly at night. ”Looking at the girl in front of her who was smiling and telling herself about her previous sufferings, she was obviously smaller than her peers, her thin face was dry, but her eyes were as dark as a deep pool."
Qiao'er, don't be afraid, your brother and I will definitely let you live a good life."
Du Wenxiu didn't know how to dispel the shadow and fear in the girl's heart, so she could only make a promise palely."
Well, I believe what my sister-in-law said."
Qiao'er nodded heavily, but the smile in her eyes did not touch the bottom.How long does it take for the shadow of childhood to heal?
Du Wenxiu didn't know."
Qiao'er, put your heart in your stomach, wait for me and your brother to work hard and lead our family to victory bravely, and when our family has a family foundation, and we have raised our little children, we must find a chic, handsome and golden uncle to marry again, okay?"
Du Wenxiu teased her with jokes, making her have no intention of thinking about the haze of the past.Qiao'er was confused at first, and she didn't understand the meaning of the words in her sister-in-law's mouth, but she thought that this was the gap between her little village girl and the girl of the Xiucai family, and when she finally heard that her uncle and the marriage were married, she blushed with shame, and raised her hand to beat Du Wenxiu.One chased, the other hid, and the two of them arrived in the back mountain so noisily.Although Du Wenxiu was older, he was not as flexible as Qiao'er, and the uneven mountain road was caught after a short time.Qiao'er slapped a few times, asking Du Wenxiu not to joke like this again, but she took advantage of the situation to make fun of a few more words, her face turned red, and she "hummed" and went to the front to find wild vegetables.When she arrived at the place, Du Wenxiu didn't tease her anymore, and it was the right thing to do.Carefully searched near the bamboo cut by Lu Fanghai yesterday, and sure enough, he found a lot of bamboo shoots.The tools brought by the two people did not take advantage of the big bamboo shoots to dig, so they picked the small ones to dig, and after a while, they also dug a lot."
Why didn't the people in the village dig up so many bamboo shoots?"
Du Wenxiu was a little strange.Qiao'er straightened up and wiped the sweat dripping from her forehead, and laughed at her: "Now for spring ploughing, I can't say that they will come at night, but they can't miss the farming time." ”It turns out that although Du Wenxiu grew up in a mountain village, his parents work outside all the year round, and the family's land is also planted for others, so he doesn't know when to plant something.Qiao'er also thought that her sister-in-law was from the city who grew up in the county, so she didn't know that it was normal, so she didn't say much."
Why don't we pick the fungus and go back first?
Borrowed a hoe to dig up big bamboo shoots in the afternoon?
”Du Wenxiu proposed.Qiao'er nodded and said that this is the best, but now the basket is full, and there is no place to put fungus.Du Wenxiu laughed, took out a small cloth bag from his waist, Qiao'er screamed in surprise, and praised her sister-in-law for her wisdom."
But where is Sister Qiao'er?"
A familiar voice came from the direction of the village.
