Chapter 18
The cowshed was built after the Qingming Festival, and the brigade paid special attention to it. As soon as Li Zhiqing, who was in charge of the technical guidance of the cowshed, reported that the cowshed was ready, village head Tang Youwei came over to take a look.
The three rooms facing south were made of cowsheds, facing two bungalows. Next to the bungalows was a small room with a built-in stove, which was obviously a kitchen. Tang Guo thought to himself that this was probably them. address.
Between the cowshed and the residence, a long and tall room was built in the innermost part. It was used to store fodder. It surrounded a large open space in three directions. It was Song Yingzi's favorite place. It was so wide. A place where cows can usually bask in the sun, or can be used if there are other needs.
As soon as he walked into the room, he felt a chill. Tang Guo asked and found out that the house was made of silt (yellow mud, clay) and mud, plus wheat straw to make soil embryos. The only part that was close to the ground was Several layers of fired clay bricks were used in some parts to prevent the walls from being stained by rain after rain. The top was covered with thick wheat straw. Just standing inside, she felt the winter described in the book. What does Nuan Xia Liang mean?
Unlike reinforced concrete, she felt that such a house could breathe.
"Okay, okay! Thank you for your hard work. Tomorrow morning, Jia and you will go to the county to bring the cow back." Tang Youwei looked at the cowshed and felt very satisfied. Since the last cow in the village died, Tang Youwei felt very satisfied. , he made several reports, but there was no news. Every time he wanted to use cattle, he borrowed them from the village next door. Now that it's fine, he doesn't have to say good things anymore.
Tang Jiahe also looked happy, "Village Chief, don't worry, I will definitely complete the task."
Seeing the unconcealed energy on his face, Tang Youwei smiled happily, "Jiahe, work hard, the days ahead will be prosperous!"
There were many people in the village who came to join in the fun. As soon as Tang Youwei left, they let go and boldly visited the built cowshed.
Among the children, Tang Yishan and Dapeng were the happiest. Dapeng excitedly said to Tang Guo, "You live close by, and we can play with you more often in the future."
Tang Yishan nodded happily, "Don't worry, Guoguo, with the two of us here, no one dares to bully you."
The two of them were ready to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting Tang Guo.
The smile on Tang Jiahe's face never left her face. When Song Yingzi heard the neighbors' congratulations, she felt so happy. When she saw Li Fang in the crowd, she felt nothing.
Li Fang looked at the yard and it turned out to be bigger than theirs. Although it was a cowshed, there were only two cows. Such a big yard was usually spacious for drying grain!
There was also the vacant land for growing vegetables. It looked much bigger than their vegetable garden. The more I looked at it, the more sad I felt. I couldn't help but say, "I have entrusted such an important matter to you. The Tang family and You must not raise the cows to death, otherwise we will have no cows to plow the land and the output will be affected, and you will be fully responsible."
These words had an obvious sour taste. Who couldn't tell? Liu Lan glanced at her and said, "Hey, did you smell it? Someone's vinegar bottle was overturned. Why is it so sour?"
Everyone burst into laughter, which made Li Fang even more angry, "What the hell, am I not telling the truth? It's not like you don't know the importance of this cow. The village chief sent a person who doesn't know anything to raise cows. Isn't that right?" Are you just taking risks? How about I say a few words?"
Dapeng was quick to speak, and Li Fang couldn't help but choked after finishing her words: "What? You don't know how to learn? There must be no problem for people as smart as Jiahe and brothers. The village chief is such a capable person. He chooses Jiahe and Brother, there must be a reason, you don't need to sit here and worry about it."
Song Yingzi didn't want to make the big day unpleasant, so she diverted her attention to some other topic. If Li Fang was sensible, she should leave now.
Li Fang stood outside the crowd, watching Song Yingzi and Tang Jiahe being surrounded by everyone, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart, she didn't want to rush into a group of villains who only know how to flatter themselves, so she turned around with a cane. If she wanted to leave, what was the point of raising cows? Animals got sick and erratic. If they died, all the work points would not be enough. She prayed that something would happen to these two cows sooner or later.
Seeing that there were still two gray vegetables on the side of the road, Li Fang bent down with difficulty and uprooted them without leaving any for them, which made them angry to death.
Unexpectedly, the next second, she felt a stinging pain in the palm of her hand, "Hiss!" She subconsciously threw away the things in her hands, including the crutches. She lost her balance for a moment and fell to sit there.
When the children saw it, they covered their mouths and snickered, "Haha, Dabao, your mother fell down."
When Tang Dabao took a look, he imitated his father and put on an impatient expression, which made his friends laugh even harder. Seeing how seriously everyone looked at him, he felt very proud and turned a deaf ear to his mother's call.
"Women are trouble!"
Li Fang found that her right hand was swollen and swollen. She was bitten by an unknown insect on the gray vegetables just now, and now her fingers were swollen.
Tang Dabao couldn't scream, so she gritted her teeth and yelled at him: "Get over here, be careful and I'll go back and beat you to death."
The friends were all watching. Tang Dabao felt that if he went, he would lose face, but if he really went home and was beaten, it would be over. He couldn't help but cursed, and then walked to his mother with a straight face. around.
"If you fall, just stand up."
Li Fang was furious after hearing this, "Grandma, what's the matter with you, you white-eyed wolf? If my mother fell, why did you help me? You don't even think about how you grew so big. Why did you ask me to help you?" Can you die instantly?"
His mother was very angry when she got angry. Tang Dabao reluctantly helped her stand up and handed her the crutch. When she stood firm, he immediately turned around and ran away.
Li Fang was left standing there yelling, "Little bastard, don't come back today. If you do, see if I don't beat you to death!"
Her right hand felt completely numb and she lost consciousness. She panicked and hurried to Doctor Barefoot's house.
Song Yingzi's family really clashed with her, and she would be unlucky every time she met them. Fortunately, they were kicked out, otherwise she would have been unlucky.
In the evening, while Tang Jiahe was heating his feet, he discussed with Song Yingzi about heating the stove.
Song Yingzi felt a little embarrassed thinking about the small amount of food at home. "Supposedly, we should invite everyone to come to the house to warm the stove, but the wheat harvest will not be harvested for another month. How about we wait for the new noodles to be distributed?"
Tang Jiahe shook his head, "I will go to take the cows tomorrow and come back. Someone has to watch the cows as soon as they come back. Otherwise, what if something happens? I will definitely live there. If you don't come with me, My mother and I live on this mountain, you tell me whether I can trust you or not."
This is true, "But what should we entertain others with?"
"Don't worry. When I'm cutting grass for the cattle tomorrow, I'll take a walk around the mountains to see if I can catch game." Many people have caught game in the mountains these days, and he doesn't believe that he can't.
After hearing this, Song Yingzi's brows did not relax much. She was thinking about taking out the food at home tomorrow to see how much food was left.
Early the next morning, Tang Jiahe went out. Song Yingzi wanted to go with her, but her man refused. It would not be good to leave Guoguo alone at home. Song Yingzi thought so and did not insist.
When Tang Guo woke up, her mother was packing her things. She couldn't help but be a little confused, "Mom, what are you doing?"
When Song Yingzi saw Tang Guo getting up, she kept moving her hands and pointed her chin in the direction of the kitchen, "Guoguo, there is food in the pot. You go and eat the food, and then follow your mother to move the things to your new home." ."
She had to move quickly, so Tang Guo went to wash up quickly.
There were steamed sweet potatoes in the pot, which were no longer hot. Tang Guo simply held the sweet potatoes and stood next to his mother, watching her mother busy.
In fact, there aren't many things at home, just some daily necessities, food, and a few jars of pickled vegetables.
Song Yingzi looked at the multigrain noodles at her feet and felt a little strange. She had eaten a lot of vegetable steamed buns these days, so why didn't the multigrain noodles become less? After weighing the weight, it was still so heavy. Could it be that she put more vegetables and less noodles every time, so she ate sparingly.
You don't need to hire too many people to warm the stove. She thought that it would be enough to invite Aunt Wanghua's family, Liu Lan's family, the village chief, and her mother-in-law to come over.
These multigrain noodles are enough to make some multigrain steamed buns without wild vegetables, so they don't have to go hungry later. It would be even better if Tangjiahe could bring back some game today.
"Guoguo, your father will bring the cow back soon. Are you happy?"
Candy nodded. She preferred raising cows to raising pigs. She had gone with her grandma to buy beef from cattle raisers before, and had also seen cows eating grass, so she didn't resist. Moreover, cows are not prone to getting sick. The smell of raising cattle is not very strong, but there are a lot of mosquitoes in summer.
They waited until daybreak before starting to move. During the Qingming Festival, there was heavy dew in the mountains. If they walked back and forth like this several times, their shoes would easily get wet and become unwearable.
On the third trip, Candy met Dapeng and Tang Yishan who came to play with him. They happily shouted to help move things.
Song Yingzi was very happy, but she didn't want them to help move anything. But it's always good to have people in the new house. "That's great, Auntie, thank you!"
During this move, Song Yingzi planned to divide their bedroom into two rooms, one for Guoguo to sleep in and one for them to sleep outside, so that the other room could be used for eating or entertaining guests.
After they had sorted things out, they listened to the bustling sounds outside.
Song Yingzi thought about it and guessed that the Tang family was back.
Dapeng couldn't bear his temper and ran out to take a look. When he came back, he shouted excitedly: "Guoguo, your father is back and he is leading two cows. Many people are watching. Let's go and take a look too!"
Song Yingzi waved her hand with a happy face and quickly invited them to go out and join in the fun.
This time, not only the children, but also the adults came to join in the fun and praised each other. This buffalo is really good and it will definitely be easy to feed.
The faces of the breeders who came from the county were full of pride. This was a cow they took good care of. Good quality is a must.
When passing by the brigade office, Tang Youwei stood on the side of the road, the smile on his face deepened a lot. He looked at the two cows in circles and couldn't stop nodding, "Okay, okay, take them back quickly, take them back quickly." ."
The wait was really not in vain. It is not a bit better than the cattle in the next village.
Only then did the Tang family remember that they had not introduced anyone yet, so they quickly turned sideways and introduced the breeding personnel sent by the county to Tang Youwei.
"Hello, village chief, I am Niu Guoqiang. I am here to teach my family and comrades how to raise cattle."
These days, people still need to be taught how to raise cattle, which is enough to show the importance of these two cows. Tang Youwei became serious and said, "Hello, Comrade Niu, thank you for your hard work. If you need anything, just tell Jiahe and we will do our best. To satisfy Comrade Niu's hard work, Jiahe, you must study hard and never let down Comrade Niu's hard work. You will be responsible for the treasure of our Tangjiacun."
Niu Guoqiang nodded unceremoniously and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely teach you."
Tang Jiahe also nodded repeatedly, "Village Chief, I will definitely study hard."
In this way, Tang Youwei felt more relieved.
Tang Jiading watched from a distance, feeling very uncomfortable. If they didn't let Tang Jiahe farm the land, would it be possible that he was the one raising cattle? Even if it wasn't him, at least the person with a happy face now wouldn't be the Tang Jiahe.
Now it seems that it was he who gave this opportunity to Tang Jiahao, and his expression became even worse.
The Tang family and Zai drove the cows into the cowshed in the eyes of everyone's envy.
Niu Guoqiang walked around and looked at the construction of the cowshed and the storage area for cattle fodder. He was very satisfied, "The cowshed in your village is the best I have ever seen in the county. Don't worry, as long as you follow my instructions If you raise it according to the method, there will definitely be no problems with this cow."
The Tang family was very happy when they heard this, and hurriedly called Song Yingzi to pour sugar water for Comrade Niu. The adults sat in the main room chatting, and the children stood in the yard and looked at the cow in wonder.
A little girl looked at the cow and asked innocently: "What does this cow eat?"
Another little boy said quickly: "I know, eat grass!"
After hearing this, Dapeng turned to Tang Guo and said, "Then we will go cut grass for the cows together, and we can also go up to the mountains to play."
This was exactly what Tang Guo wanted, and she agreed without hesitation.
At noon, the children all went home to eat. Niu Jianguo brought dry food with him. No matter what Tang Jiahe and Song Yingzi called him, he would not eat together. Later, he simply went out by observing the terrain.
What they had for lunch was steamed sweet potatoes.
"I took inventory of the food this morning. We still have a lot of multi-grain noodles at home. It will be enough to make multi-grain wotou by then. Then I will fry some garlic sprouts and eggs, mix in some wild vegetables, and eat half of the wild rabbit that I didn't finish last time. Once fired, the matter of heating the stove will be settled."
Only then did Tang Guo realize that their family was going to treat guests to dinner, and that little food would definitely not be enough. Tang Guo had an idea in his mind.
"Mom, can I go to the mountains with dad in the afternoon? I want to know what grass the cows eat. I can also help cut the grass in the future."
Song Yingzi felt very relieved that her Guoguo knew how to help the family at such a young age, but she still shook her head sadly, "Guoguo, you are still young. When you are older, you can help the family. Now you have fun. ."
When she was at home, she had her brother, who took her out to play every time. She was not asked to do any heavy work when she was a child. She also hoped that Guoguo could have fun. She would have to worry about it when she got married in the future. If it's too much, it won't be so easy.
Tang Jiahe smiled and winked at Tang Guo, "Your mother is right, Guo Guo doesn't have to worry about Niu's affairs, you just have to play well and grow up healthy."
Song Yingzi glanced at him, "There is one more thing, study! When Guoguo is older, we will let Guoguo go to school. Then he will take the exam for a unit in the county. From then on, he will also be a person who eats public food. From now on, he will find his husband's family. There are more choices."
Tang Jiahe could accept the previous words, but after hearing the last sentence, he felt a little blocked. His daughter was still young, and it was still early for her husband's family to deal with it. However, reading and literacy was really important.
When Tang Guo heard about her husband's family, her first reaction was to refuse. The economic base determines the superstructure. Isn't it bad to start a career? If she wanted love, Tang Guo put down the bowl, made an excuse and ran out. If she couldn't go up the mountain with her father, she would go find Dapeng and Brother Yishan.
The advantage of living in the village is that it is very close to everyone. It can be reached within a few steps. Tang Guo also stopped by her grandma's house.
Mrs. Tang was mending clothes. She ran out of thread and could not thread the needle.
"Grandma, let me help you put it on."
Mrs. Tang said happily: "Oh, grandma is old and useless. She can't even put the needle through."
His own grandma also said this, and Tang Guo felt a little sad when he heard it, "Don't worry, grandma, I will visit you often in the future. If you need a needle, just wait for me to come and give it to you."
The voice was soft, and Mrs. Tang felt a warm feeling in her heart. It was better to be a girl, and the girl was considerate, but it was a pity that she had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to her second child. She managed to survive, but she could no longer be pregnant.
Tang Guo skillfully threaded the needle on the thread, and accompanied the old lady to finish sewing the clothes before saying goodbye to her grandma.
Mrs. Tang gave her some instructions and washed a cucumber before letting her go.
Those words sounded a little wordy, but Tang Guo found them heart-warming.
As soon as he heard that he was going to go up the mountain to play, Dapeng took the slingshot without saying a word and started picking up stones everywhere. "Yishan, I will compete with you this time!"
Tang Yishan agreed without saying a word, "Come on."
But they didn't expect to get "a" follower. As soon as Tang Dabao saw the slingshot in Dapeng's hand on the road, he thought of the delicious turtle dove meat that night. Although most of it was eaten by his father, he was still interested in it. Rou Nian never forgets it. As soon as he saw that they were going up the mountain, he immediately followed them.
Dapeng was very unhappy, very unhappy. He stopped and looked at Tang Dabao with a very unhappy expression on his face. Tang Dabao walked past him as if he didn't see anything, but he didn't go far and just wandered around them.
Finally they found a turtle dove. Dapeng excitedly raised his slingshot to hit it, but Tang Yishan grabbed his hand. Tang Dabao was standing under the tree, looking up at the turtle dove. This one was bigger than him last time. It's too much. If he takes it home, he can eat more meat.
Dapeng shouted at him: "Get out of the way."
Tang Dabao raised his neck and said, "This mountain is not yours. I can stand wherever I want."
Dapeng: "You have to stand there. If a stone hits you later, we will not be responsible."
Tang Dabao shook his head, "Then I don't care. If it hits me, you have to pay for it."
Dapeng was furious and wanted to beat him up, but Tang Yishan stopped him and said, "Forget it, let's look elsewhere."
After saying that, they looked at each other and started running. Tang Guo had short legs and ran at the back. However, because the game could restore her physical strength, she kept following closely behind them.
But Tang Dabao couldn't. He chased for a while and found that he couldn't catch up, so he cried anxiously.
As soon as the cry came out, the birds in the forest were startled and flew around. Most of them were small birds such as sparrows. Finally, they found a turtle dove. Tang Yishan raised his slingshot and accurately shot down the turtle dove.
When Tang Dabao came over and saw this scene, he went up to grab it, "This is mine!"
Dapeng pulled him away and said, "Why do you say this is yours? Are you crazy about flesh and blood?"
It was just a gentle pull, but Tang Dabao fell to the ground directly, pointed at Dapeng and said: "You pushed me, you pushed me, I want to go back and tell your mother!"
Dapeng felt that he was so baffled, "Everyone wants to be a man, why do you keep being such a man?" He was so weak that he fell down with a push.
Tofu! The tofu was so delicious that I couldn't eat it until the Chinese New Year. No matter what Tang Dabao said, he just wanted the turtle dove. He continued to lie, "You must compensate me for the turtle dove!"
"Tang Dabao, if you act so shamelessly, no one will play with you in the future."
No one can play by himself, but he can't do it without meat. "I don't care. If you don't give me the turtle dove, I will let my mother go to your house."
Last time Chang Shulan said this and they gave it to her. This trick will definitely work today.
Tang Yishan didn't say anything, picked up the turtle dove, turned around and left. Last time, he was hit with a stone, so they felt guilty about giving it to him. This time, they didn't touch him. Why should he give it to them? Do they really think they are easy to talk to?
Dapeng and Guoguo followed him and continued to move forward. Dapeng also made a shy face towards Tang Dabao.
Tang Dabao, who was sitting on the ground groaning and crying hard, saw that they were leaving without any reaction, so he quickly got up and caught up with them to stop them.
"This turtledove is mine. If you give it to me, I won't tell your mother. Otherwise, if I complain, you will both be beaten."
Tang Yishan: "If you want to sue, go ahead and sue. Who's stopping you? A good dog doesn't block the road. If you know better, just get out of the way."
His expression was too serious, and Tang Dabao was a little scared, but he felt that the turtle dove belonged to him, and they had to give him a turtle dove today, so they walked in front and he continued to follow behind.
Dapeng couldn't help but yelled at him: "Follower, crybaby, stop following us!"
Tang Dabao pointed at the turtle dove, "Give me the turtle dove, and I won't follow you."
Tang Guo consoled him: "It doesn't matter. If he wants to follow, just let him follow! Anyway, we may not encounter Turtle Dove."
But they didn't expect that Tang Dabao would be such a rogue.
If there was a turtle dove on a tree near him, he would stand under the tree. If it was too far away, it would shout so loudly that it would scare the turtle doves away.
After doing it for a while, they all found it very boring and no longer wanted to play in the mountains.
"Guoguo, let's go back."
With Tang Dabao causing trouble, Guoguo no longer wanted to fight turtle doves, and it was getting late now, so she might as well go back early.
Tang Dabao pulled a piece of grass and held it in his mouth. None of them hit the turtle dove, only that one. He gloated and ran forward, "If you had given me the turtle dove earlier, maybe we could still have one turtle dove each now."
Dapeng was too lazy to pay attention to him and snorted. It was really embarrassing. He had already told him to eat what he wanted. Don't get something for nothing. What's the difference between Tang Dabao and a lazy guy?
Tang Dabao only thought about the turtle dove. He stared at the turtle dove while walking. Inadvertently, his pants got caught, but he didn't notice it and continued walking forward. Click! A sound of tearing fabric caught their attention.
Tang Dabao looked down and saw that his pants were torn by the hedgehog tree, and tears instantly flowed out.
"Wow, wow, wow, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, my pants wouldn't be torn. You'll pay me a pair of pants, no, pay me a turtledove!"
Why was he crying again? Dapeng was extremely irritable, "It's because you walked without eyes and you blame us. The scratches on your pants are also your fault and have nothing to do with us."
Tang Dabao felt that he was finished now. If his pants were torn, his mother would definitely tell his father, and his father would definitely beat him. Thinking of his father's fierce face, Tang Dabao was really scared, but if he got the turtle dove , maybe his father will let him go for Ikaruga's sake.
Tang Dabao walked in front of Tang Guo and threatened: "If you let them give me the turtle dove, I will not tell my mother that I will give you cucumbers today."
Tang Guo thought it was funny, "What's wrong with my grandma giving me cucumbers?"
"Those are our cucumbers. In the future, grandma will need me to support her when she gets old. If you don't let them give me the turtle dove, I will tell my mother that the milk is partial. My mother will definitely not let go of the milk easily. "
Tang Guo felt that Tang Dabao was completely influenced by his mother. Very selfish, only thinking about himself.
And she didn't think that if she agreed to him today, her grandma would have a good life in the future, and maybe it would hurt her. The most important thing was that she had long made up her mind to take care of her grandma until she grew old.
So, the people in Tangjia Village saw this scene. The three children were walking in front, and Tang Dabao was crying behind them.
When Lin Fang saw his son coming back crying, he felt panicked.
In Tangjiacun, his son only bullied others, never being bullied. Now that he came back crying, something must have happened.
"Dabao, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" When he got closer, he saw that there was such a big hole in Tang Dabao's pants. Li Fang's heart ached. She slapped him on the buttocks angrily. "I made you run around! You're a pushover! You made such a big hole in your perfectly fine pants. Do you think you wanted to make me angry to death?"
She was so angry that she slapped her with her swollen right hand, which made her eyes gleam with pain.
"It's not me, it's not my fault! It's Tang Yishan, Dapeng, and Tang Guo, it's their fault."
When Li Fang heard that Tang Guo was there, she said, "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
Tang Dabao cried so hard that he couldn't breathe and told the story intermittently.
"Let's go, mother, let you make the decision." Her son had torn a pair of trousers, and he had to get the turtle dove back no matter what.
Li Fang said, leaning on crutches and letting Tang Dabao lead the way. When she met people on the street, she would say that Tang Yishan, Dapeng and Tang Guo had torn her son's pants.
Seeing that there were more people watching, she stood on the road to the brigade, pointed at those houses and scolded them as harshly as she wanted.
When Dapeng Niang and her mother-in-law heard this, they slammed the door angrily and said, "Li Fang, your mouth was smoked by the latrine? Why are you talking so ugly! If you have the ability, try scolding again."
When Li Fang saw them coming out, she pointed at her son's pants and said, "This is caused by your Dapeng. My son's pants were torn. If you say I don't scold you, who should I scold?"
Dapeng looked at her pants and sneered, "Why do you say it was our Dapeng who did it? Our Dapeng went to play with Guoguo and Yishan in the afternoon, and we didn't play with your son."
"My eldest daughter has already named me, and you still want to deny it? I won't say anything else. For this matter today, you have to pay for the fabric used to make new pants."
Dapeng Niang exclaimed, "New pants? Li Fang, you can still catch up on your daydreams when you go back to sleep. In your dreams, you have all kinds of new pants you want to wear. Now that you want to wear new pants, you can pull the fabric yourself." Buy it."
Li Fang rolled her eyes, "I don't care, anyway, it was your child who ruined our Dabao's pants, and you have to pay for it."
Liu Lan also came at this moment, holding Turtle Dove in her hand, "Come on, come on, let me tell you what's going on? Today our family is going up the mountain with their Dapeng and Guoguo. When they were beating the turtle dove, unexpectedly, Tang Dapeng was following them all the time. Moreover, this kid was very strange. He was standing under the tree where the turtle dove was. When I thought about it, this was wrong. Standing under the tree would easily get hit by stones. Come on, any smart kid knows to stay away.
When I asked, I found out that it was not the first time he had done this. Last time, he used this method to get a turtle dove away from several children. He wanted to use this method again today, and I don't know who taught him.
As for how these pants were torn? It was him who hooked up with that hedgehog tree and tore his pants! Do you know what this is called? This is called stealing the chicken but losing the rice. After losing your wife and losing your troops, Li Fang, can you teach your children? If he wants to eat turtle doves, he can hunt them by himself. If he can't, let his father hunt them. This is like a douchebag. It's simply too ugly. "
The onlookers were talking in low voices, "Who's to say it's not? Maybe it was taught by Li Fang. Do you remember the last time she found the village chief and had to ask Tang Jiahe to tell her about game? How does it feel that the whole family is like this? A person who wants to get something for nothing."
"There's nothing we can do about it. Men can't do it. The Tang family went up to the mountain with a few people to hunt. Everyone hit something, but he didn't. I guess the whole family is going crazy trying to eat meat. Look at Tang Dabao. So I taught him this method."
"What kind of trouble is this? You still have the nerve to make trouble, if I am so embarrassed that I can't even leave the house."
Li Fang heard their whispers, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her, "Last time your son hit our Dabao on the head when he hit a turtle dove, I didn't even ask you to settle the score. Why, you think that turtle dove is just a bad thing?" Enough? Our Dabao's head has been hurting for several days, and today his pants are torn again because of you. No matter what, you should all make some compensation."
A woman directly pointed out her thoughts, "Li Fang, you are just jealous of other people's flesh. Do you want their turtle dove?"
It was pierced, and Li Fang didn't care. "What, those are my son's best pair of trousers. Should I ask for compensation if they are pierced? You said my son followed you, if your children don't grow old." If you are hunting turtle doves on the mountain, will he follow you?"
This makes people feel uncomfortable to hear, "Well, our children are diligent and know how to use their hands to create wealth. We have no time to praise such a high level of ideological awareness. Is it possible that we will try to stop it? I'm not talking about you, Li Fang, if you teach your children like this, sooner or later you will regret it!"
Song Yingzi made cereal wotou at home, and Tang Guo just came back and didn't know where she went, so she had to come and treat people to dinner by herself, "Why is it so lively? Aunt Wanghua, Liu Lan, you didn't cook at home, did you? Let's go. , come to my house for dinner tonight and help us warm the stove."
Liu Lan raised the turtle dove in her hand and said with a smile: "That's a good feeling. I happened to catch a turtle dove in Yishan today, so we will use this turtle dove to add a dish."
"How can I ask you to bring food? Turtledove, you stay at home to eat next time. We have food at home, so just bring people and appetites." After Song Yingzi said this, she was about to invite her mother-in-law. Her mother-in-law always cooks early, and she is afraid that she will not be able to catch up.
Before she walked out of the crowd, someone gave her a look. Li Fang was staring at her fiercely. On the way here, Song Yingzi heard something from one sentence to the other. She roughly understood what was going on and couldn't help but say something. , "Yishan and Dapeng are both good boys. Everyone knows it very well. If you want to complain about this today, you can only blame your Dabao. He is ignorant, and your mother is also ignorant. You can wear your pants with a seam." , whose child doesn't have a patch on his body, it just lets him know that it is not easy to take advantage, and there is a price to pay."
These words made sense and everyone nodded, but in Li Fang's view, Song Yingzi's words were a slap in her face.
"I haven't found you yet. You might as well deliver it to your door yourself. That's just right. You can provide the fabric for the new trousers."
Is this just looking for someone to take advantage of? Song Yingzi was too lazy to pay attention to her. She had already said what she said. Whether she listened or not, she didn't care about her own business. "Don't cook. I'll invite my mother-in-law. We'll leave together later."
Whenever this happened, Li Fang wanted to go up and tear Song Yingzi's face to pieces. The wider the smile on that face, the more disgusted she became.
"It's over, it's over. Let's go back and look for slingshots at home. Maybe we can also shoot the turtle dove." Liu Lan raised the turtle dove in his hand. Although it didn't have a lot of meat, it was still a meat dish.
After her reminder, the onlookers really dispersed. They went back to their houses to look for slingshots. Those who didn't have slingshots also tried to make slingshots. But one thing they all told their children was that wherever Tang Dabao was there, tens of millions of people would Don't play with a slingshot, who knows if he will suddenly run up and say that it belongs to him.
Song Yingzi walked happily on the way back. This was her first serious treat, and her mother-in-law was very considerate of her visit. She thought her mother-in-law would shirk it, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law agreed as soon as she mentioned "warming the stove". , which is really a good thing.
When she got home, she saw that Tang Jiahe was squatting there and busy with her hands. She walked closer and took a look, oh! A fat pheasant!
"Jiahe, where did this come from?"
When asked about this, Tang Jiahe looked excited, "When I went down the mountain, I wanted to roll the water tank back. Who knew that this pheasant was in the fence we enclosed. It must be hungry. Come to our house I was looking for something to eat, but I didn't expect that I was trapped."
Song Yingzi was so happy that the pheasant came at the right time. She was still worried that the dishes in Nuanzao were not enough, so she was going to make some more scrambled eggs with pickled cabbage. Unexpectedly, the pheasant came to her door. "Where's Guoguo? You Have you seen Guoguo?"
Tang Jiahe raised his chin and said, "Here, we are feeding the cows."
Song Yingzi felt relieved and quickly went to the kitchen to wash the pots and cook. She must take care of everything tonight.
Tang Guo, who was feeding the cows with her back to them, raised her lips and smiled, and separated from Dapeng and the others. When she returned home, she saw that her father had not come back yet. After asking her mother, she found out that her father had gone up the mountain to cut grass after sending away the breeding staff. By the way, she went back to the house on the mountain to get something. She was afraid that she would not be able to make it in time, so she ran all the way back to the mountain. She took out a pheasant from the game and put it into the fence, and she hurried back again.
Fortunately, there was a game, otherwise she would have collapsed.
"Hey! It smells so good!" The person who warmed the stove came and couldn't help but praise the smell of the rice.
Song Yingzi came out of the kitchen and greeted them with a smile, "Mom, you're here. Uncle Youwei, Aunt Hua, why aren't the family here?"
Wang Hua: "They've all eaten, but I don't dare to bring them here. I'm afraid of scaring Guoguo with the intensity of eating."
Food is so tight. How can we really drag the whole family to eat? It will not make the host's family poor.
Tang Guo came out with the berries, "Grandpa and grandma, you eat!"
"Hey! Tang Guo is such a good boy!"
Two oil lamps were lit in the yard. Wang Hua thought about it and asked her daughter-in-law to go back and bring the oil lamps from home. Liu Lan was helping in the kitchen. When she saw the food in the pot, she was shocked, "How can you make such a rich meal? Whatever Just make it interesting! Did Guoguo catch this chicken?"
Song Yingzi shook her head, "No, her father caught it this time." She told how the man caught the chicken.
"Oh, you man is so lucky and has a good character. I don't know how many times better than that one."
Her mother-in-law was sitting outside, so she couldn't talk nonsense, otherwise the old lady would feel uncomfortable, so she hurriedly found another topic and talked about it.
Mrs. Tang felt relieved when she saw that the Tang family was living a decent life here. She stood up and called the Tang family into the back room on the pretext of looking at the house.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Tang looked at the look in his eyes and couldn't help but sigh. She took out a gold piece with a red string from the middle of her clothes and said, "Jiahe, this is what your mother left for you. , the world has never been peaceful, so I haven't given it to you, but now I think it's time, you can accept it, but you can't be careless, hide it well, and don't let others see it."
Tang Jiahe reached out and took the golden piece. His name was engraved on the back of the gold piece: Jiahe.
"Did she give me my name?"
Mrs. Tang nodded, "Your mother has suffered a lot. Her only hope in this life is family harmony."
Tang Jiahe still wanted to ask something, but Yingzi was already calling him outside. Mrs. Tang held his hand holding the gold piece, "Good boy, I will tell you more when I have the chance."
After saying that, Mrs. Tang turned around and left.
Tang Jiahe grabbed the old lady's hand, "Mom, I just want to ask, is she still alive?"
Mrs. Tang sighed and shook her head, "You two have a close relationship. She passed away not long after you were born."
After saying that, she patted Tang Jiahe's hand and went out.
Tang Jiahe touched the hot gold piece in his hand and fell silent.
