Chapter 109: Picking Charcoal and Going Home
Where can Qiao Xiaoru really ignore the Tian family?
After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "Why don't I wait a while and make some red dates and lily porridge for my mother!" This is light! For the sake of the body, even if you don't have an appetite, you have to eat some! Grains nourish people, where can you stand it if you don't eat! If your body collapses, we'll all be worried! ”
Because her mother was sick again, Xiao Dou Sprouts, who was very sad, immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, mother, sister-in-law is right!" It's okay for you to listen to your sister-in-law! ”
I'll go! Little bean sprouts, don't worship your sister-in-law so much, okay! I worship it so much, my sister-in-law will not be able to bear it!
Qiao Xiaoru hurriedly smiled and diverted the conversation, "Mother, that's it, I'll cook!" ”
Fortunately, what was said at this time was nothing else but to persuade the mother-in-law to eat, otherwise what would the mother-in-law think after listening to this last sentence?
Qiao Xiaoru felt that she should take care of the communication and speaking skills of this bean sprout that had grown a lot stronger and stronger afterwards.
Seeing this, Tian had no choice but to smile and let them go.
While cooking and washing vegetables, they made porridge for Tian in a small crockpot on the small wind stove, and by the way, they also ate some more.
There was still a lot of meat bought in the city the day before yesterday, and Qiao Xiaoru had boiled it in boiling water at that time, and put some salt, plus it was this weather, so it was not bad.
So he cut a piece of meat, soaked a large handful of dried fungus, and prepared to make a fried pork slice with garlic seedling fungus and a leek egg soup.
In such weather, it is only warm to drink a bowl of hot soup.
Anyway, there is no shortage of these money now, Qiao Xiaoru knocked three eggs without blinking his eyes.
I'm really short of money, and I can't save anything from this! Why suffer the sin of picking and searching!
The meal of the three people was ready, and the diligent little bean sprouts went to get the bowl and chopsticks to serve the rice, Qiao Xiaoru looked at the porridge on the small wind stove, and still owed some heat.
She took a small half bowl of leek egg soup, specially scooped up a lot of eggs, and brought it to Tian Shi and said with a smile: "Mother, let's drink soup first to warm up!" ”
"You kid!" Tian smiled distressedly, pity and helplessly, so he took it, blew it gently, and drank it slowly.
"Mother, let's drink it!" Qiao Xiaoru looked at it with a smile, and was in a trance for a moment.
Because she suddenly felt that her mother-in-law's action of drinking the soup was really elegant and beautiful, and she herself didn't seem to be aware of it, it was so natural as if she was born to be like this. Among the village women, I am afraid that there is no more gentle but natural than the mother-in-law.
"Well, that's good! Sure enough, my body was warmer and more comfortable! Xiaoru's craftsmanship is getting better and better! Tian smiled and urged her to eat again, "Don't wait for the food to be cold for a while, it's not good!" ”
Qiao Xiaoru smiled back, "Hey! Then he went.
After lunch, the little bean sprouts cleaned up the table and washed the dishes and chopsticks, Qiao Xiaoru brought the boiled porridge to Tian's, and there was a lot left, so he cooked less rice in the evening.
"Go ahead! I'm fine, I'll clean up after I've eaten later, don't worry! I'm not that weak! Tian knew that they were going to the field, so he smiled.
Qiao Xiaoru saw that her spirit was indeed better than in the morning, and the work in the field really couldn't be delayed, so she responded with a smile, and still went to the ground with Silly Fujun and Xiaodou Sprouts.
The three of them spent another afternoon in the fields, and then returned home as twilight wore on.
As soon as I got home, the little bean sprouts fed the chickens and swept the floor.
More than 20 chicks are still alive under the careful care of the little bean sprouts, and in this era when the mortality rate of the chicks is as high as more than 50%, Qiao Xiaoru also has to marvel that this is a miracle!
Now the chicks have grown long and short feathers, which are much stronger, and their cries are much louder, and they are still as cute as ever.
The big chickens I bought back have been raised, and I know how to return to the nest at night, and seeing the small bean sprouts is like seeing food, and I happily follow them when I am still outside the yard.
Almost every household in the countryside raises chickens, and the root of the wall next to the gate of the yard will generally leave a small hole for chickens and ducks to enter and exit the yard, and people will never get into such a small hole.
The foolish husband went to fetch water, Qiao Xiaoru looked at Tian's family, asked a few words, and went to cook.
After a while, Aunt Zhang came, gossiping and telling Qiao Xiaoru that it was carbon tomorrow, and asked them to follow into the mountain early tomorrow morning to pick up their own carbon.
Qiao Xiaoru smiled and said yes, thank Aunt Zhang.
In this way, the next morning, I will follow Uncle Zhang and his son into the mountains to pick charcoal.
This kind of work of picking heavy objects and walking on rugged mountain roads Qiao Xiaoru has zero combat effectiveness at all, and belongs to the kind that will only add to the chaos.
It is said that it is enough to let the foolish husband go alone, and she and Xiao Bean Sprouts can continue to work in the fields.
However, she was not very worried about the foolish husband going alone, and the foolish husband would definitely not go by himself. So she had no choice but to go.
When I came back, I could only pick a little bit, my body was still tending to stagger, and the carbon at both ends was also swaying.
Widow Shen smiled directly and angrily: "You girl used to work neatly, but now she is like this!" It's a good idea! ”
Everyone laughed.
Qiao Xiaoru also smiled a little embarrassedly. Looking at the sky, she really hasn't done this kind of work!
Fortunately, the foolish husband has more than one top two, if he is not worried that he can't bear the flat burden and it is not easy to walk if he bears too much at a time, he can be stronger, and it is more than enough to make up for her shortcomings.
It took a total of two trips to carry all the charcoal home, which was the result of the fool's extraordinary performance.
The first trip went well, but the second trip had a small episode. Or it can be maliciously guessed that Yang got the news and rushed to block it.
On the second trip, when Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun and Widow Shen carried charcoal into the village, Yang was guarding the fork in the road to Qiao Xiaoru's house, and when he saw them, his eyes lit up, he glared at them, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Xiaoru, quickly pick these carbons to my house!" The weather is bad these days, and your niece is wetting the bed again, and she is short of charcoal to dry the sheets! I'll give it back to you when my charcoal is burned! You won't be so stingy and won't even borrow! ”
What does it mean to tell nonsense with your eyes open? That's it!
It's obviously a sunny day these days, okay? Moreover, when her family's charcoal is burned, will she really return it to her own family? Qiao Xiaoru felt that even she wouldn't believe this!
However, Yang has improved, and has become strategic, not as blind as before!
This kind of Yang seems to be even more difficult to deal with!
Before Qiao Xiaoru could speak, Widow Shen couldn't help it first, and couldn't help but ask, "I said, Sister-in-law Yang, where are your eyes?" The sun can't be seen so big in the sky? As soon as the charcoal was picked up, your house was short of waiting for urgent use, which is really a coincidence! I just don't know what things have entered your house, which year of the monkey and horse months will give them back! Do this unreliable thing with bad intentions, and you won't be humble at first glance! ”
