Red House Farm Stay

Jia Zhuo stopped Grandma Liu, went to the kitchen and took out the pastry, broke it in two, and handed one half to the board who was chopping firewood in the yard, and the other half to Qing'er who was binding the firewood.

"You guys eat, I'm not working, I'm not hungry at all."

In Jia Zhuo's eyes, they are still two children.It is cruel to only work and not eat.

"Ah." Ban'er didn't expect Qiaojie to take the initiative to talk to him, and was suddenly at a loss, not knowing what to do.

It was not the first time that Baner saw Qiaojie. He still remembered that Qiaojie was sitting on the Arhat bed when he was a child, with a beautiful woolen blanket woven with the swastika pattern, and auspicious clouds woven with golden threads shone on the pillow behind him.

The little person is wearing beautiful clothes with big red blessing characters, and there are several strings of golden bells on his wrists. When he raises his hand, the "bells" will ring, which is really nice.The palm-sized shoes are embroidered with multicolored carps, and the eyes of the fish are inlaid with pearls, and they can move when you pull them out.

At that time, Sister Qiao was like a fairy sitting on the cloud, and it was already a blessing to see her once.

No one thought that one day, the fairy they had seen when they were young would fall into their home.No beautiful clothes, no beautiful shoes, but a fairy is a fairy, and her smile is three points more beautiful than the beauties in the master's paintings.

Grandma had told him early in the morning that even if a girl from a rich family was in trouble, it would be different, and told him not to hang out in front of Sister Qiao.If Sister Qiao didn't speak, he was not allowed to speak, otherwise it would be abrupt.

The abruptness was added by Ban'er himself, he thought, this is what Madam said, the meaning of the abrupt beauty.

Seeing Ban'er motionless, Jia Zhuo thought he was still angry with him.That's right, if it wasn't for me, he would still be studying hard, so why would he be a child out of school.

Qing'er kept looking at her elder brother's face, she didn't dare to get close to this elder sister, all she knew was that her mother said she was a girl from a rich family.Since it is a big family, it will go back sooner or later, but I don't know if she can help her family get back the big house and land.

Seeing that Jia Zhuo's face darkened, Ban'er came back to his senses, hurriedly waved his hands and said, "My hands are dirty, no, no, I'm not hungry, you can eat."

Jia Zhuo smiled, and passed the pastry forward again, "When we plow the field tomorrow, can you teach me how to farm the land?"

Seeing Jia Zhuo's insistence, Ban'er and Qing'er washed their hands and came over to catch half of the white noodles each.

"My father and I are the ones who farm the land. If you like, you can plant flowers in the yard." Ban'er lowered his head, and divided half of the pastry in his hand, and gave it to his younger sister Qing'er.

Qing'er refused to take it, she had to stuff it into Ban'er's mouth, and then laughed when he watched him eat it.

"I have some seeds, how should I plant them, and bury them directly in the soil?" Jia Zhuo's eyes were dark about planting. Although the shop owner told her a lot at the time, she still doesn't remember it now.

Ban'er looked at Jia Zhuo's hand, and said with a smile: "Generally speaking, you have to soak in water first, but I have never seen what kind of seed you are, so I don't know if there is anything special about it."

"Then soak in water." Jia Zhuo thought to himself, corn should be relatively easy to grow food, anyway, she has to start from the beginning, so let's start with soaking in water.

I took two bowls, did not soak them all, but soaked a dozen or so seeds of each of the two varieties, and went to the ground with the seeds that were not soaked in water tomorrow to see which side germinated more, and then put the rest according to the number of seeds that germinated more. processing.

"Is this a flower seed?" Qing'er looked curiously.

"No, the elders of the family brought it back from a far away place." Finally, she came up with the rhetoric she made up, and Jia Zhuo wanted to burst into tears.

"Oh." Qing'er looked admiring, far away, she thought to herself, it must be a very precious flower.

Early the next morning, Jia Zhuo got up, without disturbing Qing'er who was still sleeping, slipped into the kitchen and saw Grandma Liu cooking porridge.

"Grandma, don't make it for me alone in the future. Let's eat whatever you want." She wanted to say this yesterday, but she didn't find a chance. She woke up early today just to persuade Grandma Liu to take her All are treated equally.

"That can't be done, how are you used to it?" Grandma Liu refused, Sister Feng's entrustment on her deathbed, and Jia Yun's parting instructions were all for Sister Qiao.How can a person who is so golden and jaded make her suffer more.

"Is grandma trying to drive me away?" Jia Zhuo threw himself into Grandma Liu's arms, hugged her waist, and burst into tears.

"No, no, how could grandma drive you away." Grandma Liu comforted sister Qiao with her arms around her.

Jia Zhuo choked with sobs and said, "I can't go back anymore. From now on, grandma, uncles and aunts, and Ban'er Qing'er are all my relatives. Since they are relatives, there is no reason to eat them separately. It is obvious that I As a guest, when a guest comes to the door, one day he will leave, isn't grandma driving me away?"

This has also become a truth, and it actually makes sense. Grandma Liu can't laugh or cry.We had to compromise, "Okay, okay, from now on, sister Qiao will be our relatives, and relatives will eat the same food."

"From now on, you don't need to call me Miss Qiao. I've chosen a name for myself, Jia Zhuo. Grandma can call me Xiao Zhuo." Jia Zhuo took the opportunity to make the last request.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Liu didn't hesitate at all, and praised her for being thoughtful.

"This is a good idea. If someone outside hears it, I'm afraid it's not good. I'll call you Xiaozhuo from now on." Grandma Liu only changed her name when she was sober and afraid of being found.

At the dinner table that day, Jia Zhuo picked up his own bowl and made porridge mixed with white rice and noodles.After eating it, there was a fishy smell, scum and lingering. Thinking about the taste, I felt like vomiting, so I could only pour it into my mouth with my eyes closed.

"If someone outside asks about our sister Qiao, they will say that she is the granddaughter of my distant sister. She can't survive, so she entrusts someone to bring her here, called Xiaozhuo." Grandma Liu gave her an identity casually.

Mrs. Liu gave a "puchi" smile, "Mother, where did you come from as a distant sister?"

"Why not, your mother didn't jump out of a crack in the rock, so she naturally has sisters." Grandma Liu tapped her chopsticks, and Mrs. Liu stuck out her tongue and retracted.

"Ban'er Qing'er stayed here and plowed the field. I'll come back to cook in a while." Grandma Liu finished the division of labor, but Wang Gou'er said, "Mother, let's rest at home too. There's me and Ban'er's mother." I'm here. In a few days, let Ban'erniang rest at home, I'm enough for myself."

Grandma Liu still wanted to talk, but Wang Gou'er put down the bowl, saying that the matter was settled like that.

Jia Zhuo could tell that Wang Gou'er didn't seem to have a high status, but he was the real master of the family.

On this day, the house was quite lively, Grandma Liu was spinning cloth, Qing'er was cleaning the yard, and was looking for a place to build a chicken shed.Ban'er came over with a nine-tooth target, and seeing Jia Zhuo waiting here to watch him plow, he blushed and lowered his head.

"Do you use this for farming?" Jia Zhuo didn't feel embarrassed at all. Can embarrassment be eaten?The sooner she masters the technique now, the better.

"The land for growing grain is definitely not good. You have to use oxen to pull the plow to plow quickly and well, and it can also be plowed deeper. But in such a small space in the yard, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. You can just use the toothed target yourself." Ban After answering quickly, he waved the nine-toothed target.

Jia Zhuo hadn't looked at it for a while, when she heard someone calling her name in a low voice, "Sister Zhuo, are you going to be at our house from now on?"

Turning around, Qing'er didn't know when she came over.Wringing his hands together, he looked at her nervously.

Jia Zhuo was silent for a moment, then nodded, as long as Prince Zhongshun is not dead, she will not be able to recognize the people of Jia's family.Even if Prince Zhongshun is dead, if someone can sell her the first time, he can sell her the second time. For her father who can't protect her, why would she bother to go back and increase the trouble for each other.

"Then, the big house and land of our family will be gone forever." Qing'er cried "Wow".

At this time last year, Mrs. Liu was still dressing up her daughter, saying that she would save a dowry for her, so that she could marry into a wealthy family and live a good life.Why today, it changed as soon as it was said, from the big house of my own family to the thatched cottage of my grandma's house.

Everyone coaxed her, saying that she would go back sooner or later, and she believed what the adults said.She has been well-behaved since she was a child, and she was not noisy, but today, she seemed to understand everything all of a sudden, the big house at home was gone, and she could never go back.

Jia Zhuo stepped forward to hug Qing'er, but found that the child was actually thinner than himself, so he couldn't help but shed tears.

"I will help you get it back, you believe me, you will definitely get it back." Patting her on the back, Jia Zhuo said firmly.

"Is it true?" Qing'er twitched, unable to believe it.

At some point, Ban'er put down the target and walked over. He watched from a distance, thinking it was the little sisters who had clashed. When he came over, he saw them hugging each other, and he couldn't help being stunned.

"It's true. Although I, Jia Zhuo, are just a small person, in my life, I have said nothing that doesn't count." Jia Zhuo made a promise to her as well as to himself.

"Don't, don't cry." At first I thought it was all right, but I saw the two girls were crying again, and Ban'er scratched his head. He had never faced such a situation before, so he didn't know what to do.

"Let's go, let's ignore her. Do you know how to use a spinning wheel? I wonder if we can learn it?" Jia Zhuo took Qing'er away, leaving Ban'er giggling on the spot alone. This means that they reconciled ?

A girl's mind is really complicated.Even though he was thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out.

You can learn the spinning wheel, but not now. You need to be taller to use it.

"You little girls, don't worry, learn how to tie the net first, and then learn how to embroider. Wait a few days and let Baner's mother teach you. When grandma was young, she was a good hand. Back then, your grandmother I embroidered all the dowry curtains, but now that I am old, my eyesight is no longer useful, so it is useless."

Jia Zhuo really didn't understand why Grandma Liu embroidered Qing'er's grandmother's dowry tent?However, seeing Qing'er taking it for granted, I think there is some reason for this.
