Chapter 253: Cowhide Envelope
The fiery clouds in the western sky began to show their clues, and gradually emerged like a tide, accumulating layer by layer, becoming thicker and thicker, rendering the entire Maliutun.
"The morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles", which means that tomorrow will be another sunny day.
Guan Ping'an squatted in the backyard to dry the mugwort turned over, and then put it in the sun to dry for a few days to wilt, twisted into a straw rope, which can be stored as a "weapon" for smoked mosquitoes.
Of course, her father must not allow her to do the work of weaving mosquito repellent ropes, and it is just right to take advantage of the sunny weather to go to the mountains a few times, but unfortunately, her little gourd......
At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the fiery red sunset shines on the whole land, and the nasty mosquitoes come from nowhere, flying black and flying in the sky.
At night, if you are bitten by a small mosquito, it is very itchy, and if you scratch the swollen red packet with your hand, the wound will become infected and pus.
Guan Ping'an specially picked some mugwort leaves that had wilted and put them in a basket, and these were ready to be stuffed in the pillow, and then they could only be slowly dried.
Xiao Tianyou carried a catfish more than a foot long, sprinkled a burst of laughter, and ran in happily, "Sister, Dad asked me to send back the fish first." ”
Guan Ping'an smiled in surprise, "How can he? Isn't his father going to work today?"
"Our dad and Uncle Daxing caught them, and my dad said that there were few catfish bones, so I asked for this one. Xiao Tianyou smiled hesitantly, "Sister, I'll kill, can you stew?"
Guan Ping'an hurriedly hung the basket under the eaves and got down the ladder, and took it funny, "I'll come." Or do you want to stew eggplant dry, right?"
"Well, our dad just wants to stew eggplant with catfish. Fish and eggplant against Zhuang, put more chili peppers. After speaking, Xiao Tianyou glanced at the door, "I'll give you a hand, otherwise my mother will come back." ”
Guan Ping'an giggled happily. Her mother saw that she had to pickle Ming'er first, and today there were zongzi and vegetables, so she didn't allow extravagance and waste.
Here, as soon as Xiao Tianyou entered the outhouse, he smelled the aroma of stewed rabbit meat, although his sister covered the pot with a rag every time, but who is he?
Famous dog nose!
Fortunately, he heard his father send it back early, otherwise it would be over as soon as her mother arrived home and saw her. After pickling, there is no fresh and delicious, and he really didn't dislike his mother's craftsmanship, and his sister was just a good one, really, not lying! His father also said that his daughter-in-law would be good if she put more oil every time she cooked.
In fact, his mother really doesn't know how to settle accounts, every time my sister cooks, their family of four is really hard to make, but after eating all the dishes, doesn't it also save a lot of rations?
In the past, he could eat 5 wild vegetable cakes in the old courtyard in one meal, but now he can make it himself, and he can't stuff it, right?
It's a pity that his mother didn't listen.
ran a trip to the pit, Guan Tianyou suddenly discovered: obedient...... He immediately became angry, "Sister, you didn't call me!"
"Brother is not angry, don't you like to play with Sister Wuya and them, next time we will go together with the two of us and bring no outsiders. ”
"Okay. Xiao Tianyou could only compromise and reluctantly added, "Then wait for a while to clean up when it gets dark, you must call me." ”
Guan Ping'an, who killed the fish, played with the knife flower, and decisively agreed without raising his head, "No problem, I will definitely call my brother." ”
"What about Xiao Hei and Kuroko?" Xiao Tianyou glanced at and hung his little shoulders in disappointment, "Kuroko is back again? ”
"It's not stupid, it's going up the mountain with Xiao Hei again. Guan Ping'an looked up at him and smiled comfortingly, "My brother wants Kuroko to stay at home, and it won't leave." ”
"Really?"
"Well, Uncle Zhang is not only a good person, but also a good person who loves dogs, you see he doesn't use chains to lock the sunspots, as long as our family really feels sorry for the sunspots, he won't mind. ”
Of course, her father didn't treat Uncle Zhang badly, he should have felt that the reason why he found those old cellars last time had the credit of sunspots, and he deliberately mixed ten catties of liquor to come to the door in person.
In addition, if Kuroko usually catches a few more hares on the mountain, her father will also tie a ball of grass to Kuroko and bring it back to its owner to eat.
That's good, as the saying goes: no matter how poor you are, don't sell your dogs, and no matter how rich you are, don't slaughter cattle. The other party is really going to sell the sunspot, and I'm too sorry for its life-saving grace.
When the two big iron pots in the outhouse were steaming, Guan Youshou and his wife arrived at the door, not only did they come back, but they also brought back Ma Zhenzhong's family.
Guan Ping'an watched her father stay away from his daughter-in-law, hugged his buddy's neck, and suddenly burst out laughing. I'm scared of your daughter-in-law's broken thoughts!
"Hey, look at my daughter, I know your dad has something for you to bring back?"
Guan Ping'an shook his head happily and looked at Ye Xiaofeng, who was walking with a basket of dirt, "Auntie, why do you still bring your own food to the door? This is because you are worried that your niece will make you hungry?"
"Haha...... I'm not worried, my niece can do it. Ye Xiaofeng raised his chin at the two men who stayed in the courtyard, "Your father and a few of them are going to get together at your house tonight, is there enough food?"
There was no need for Guan Ping'an to reply, Ye Xiuhe smiled, "Have you smelled the fragrance?" There are enough people to come, you have to bring it back to me." ”
Ye Xiaofeng rolled her eyes, "It's like an outsider, if you do this again, I won't come next time." An An, are you right?"
Guan Ping'an hurriedly shook his head and smiled, "I won't interfere in the lawsuit of your two sisters." ”
"Look, this little elf!" Ye Xiaofeng patted her, "Go play, wait a minute, you should be distressed again." ”
Guan Ping'an smiled and looked at her mother.
Ye Xiuhe was staring at the child's small hands, "Listen to your aunt." Didn't my mother say don't work too hard, isn't it with Wuya again?"
Guan Ping'an hurriedly shook his little hand to show her, "No, mother, look, I don't have a cut in my hand." I listened to you, and I didn't pull it out, but cut it with a sickle. ”
Ye Xiuhe glanced at her daughter distressedly, "Go and play with your father." There are outsiders here, and she doesn't have much to say. After all, the child was frightened in the old home,
Otherwise, whoever is a girl will be eager to scrape a layer of ground and hide it in her own warehouse, how old a child is, who doesn't want to play.
Guan Youshou washed his face, beckoned to his daughter, took out a cowhide envelope and waved it, "Come over and see what's inside?"
Guan Ping'an pointed at himself puzzled, ran to him, and raised his head, "Dad, isn't this an envelope?
"Your old cousin's letter is still with your uncle. Guan Youshou didn't sell Guan Zi to the child, "When did you take a photo with your brother? Or did you send it from the army? Why didn't Dad hear you mention it?"
Guan Ping'an touched the bridge of his nose and smiled.
Guan Youshou shook his head with a smile, the bad girl was weak again! I don't want to think that he, the father, would have never taken her brother's words?
