Chapter 26： candied haws

A few children don't know where to go to play, and there is no one at home. After so many days, she got used to it. Put everything away, put away the candied haws bought for them and give them to eat tomorrow, a good meal in the evening is enough to surprise these children.

The broken table in her house has strips sewn in the middle, just enough to stick the candied haws in it, otherwise it will be sticky everywhere tomorrow.

She also felt very tired after walking all day today. After eating hastily, she washed and fell asleep.

In winter, the days are short, it gets dark early, and the next day gets bright again. Without her mother-in-law to live with, Pei Xiu sleeps as long as she wants. It was colder than a day, and the clean and warm bed made her not want to get up at all.

If you don't think about it, you can afford it, otherwise the whole family will be hungry. After a simple breakfast, my sister-in-law came to the door. She said with a radiant face that the matchmaker came to tell her little daughter Zhou Yu about the marriage. She was a valuable scholar. She agreed to bring it over the next morning to have a look, and let Pei Xiu come to the door to help. a bit.

Pei Xiu readily responded. No wonder the sister-in-law was so happy when she came, and she couldn't find Bei. Everything is inferior, only reading is high. At this time, a scholar cannot be afforded by ordinary people, which shows that this family has a wealthy family. Some people have to provide for the whole family to survive until they reach the official position.

Sister-in-law Zhou has always loved this young daughter the most, and Zhou Yu has the ability to learn good embroidery from her second sister-in-law (the second daughter-in-law of Sister-in-law Zhou), which is even better than her second sister-in-law. With such a talented young daughter, Sister Zhou is afraid that she will melt in her mouth. She is sixteen. She said that she has not seen her eyes for a whole year. Gao wanted to find a good one for his daughter and went to the city to say kiss.

Zhou Yu has a gentle temperament, and the whole family dotes on her, thanks to her not being crooked. Because he has a good hand in embroidery, marrying home is a man who can lay golden eggs and make money for the family. Which suitable young man in the village has not come to the door to propose marriage? The threshold is about to be broken by the matchmaker, and Sister Zhou is stunned that none of them are interested, and she wants to marry her young daughter to the town. But he has repeatedly hit the wall, saying that he is either idle or defective. How can Mrs. Zhou be attracted to it, until now.

To be able to say that I can be a better reader is not a good thing. Take advantage of seeing each other years ago, and if it is suitable, you can make an appointment, and it is just right to get married after the spring ploughing. Sister-in-law Zhou's abacus has been well set.

''Mother, can we go to see the fun the day after tomorrow? '' The boss, Zhou Yong, was eager to try. He now claims to be an adult, and he has not seen the scene of a blind date.

''Don't make trouble, just play by yourself the day after tomorrow. '' Pei Xiu went into the house and took out the candied haws that he bought yesterday, and divided it up one by one.

Several children were so happy that they forgot what they were going to say. Unexpectedly, my mother went to the town yesterday and bought them candied haws. They have never eaten candied haws when they are so grown up. They cherished and licked them with their tongues.

''Mother, why didn't you bring it to us to eat yesterday? '' Little Zhou Heng held Pei Xiu's thigh in one hand and the candied haws in the other, licked it and said.

Pei Xiu scratched his little nose and said, ''You were not at home when I came back, running around, how can I get it for you. ''

''We'll be back when we eat, so you can feed me. '' Zhou Heng looked up and said naively, and the other children were eating sweet and sour candied haws and couldn't talk anymore.

''If I bring you candied haws to eat, you won't be able to eat such fragrant braised pork. Then next time I buy candied haws, you can eat candied haws instead of braised pork. '' Pei Xiu teased the young son and said.

''Ah, that won't work, I have to eat it. Mom, you are so nice, I like you so much, you will buy it for me next time, so sweet. '' Zhou Heng, a little boy, shook his head and followed the rattle for a while, and then had a very satisfied expression on his face, and his eyes narrowed.

Pei Xiu patted his head and smiled. Children are easily satisfied. '' This is usually not available. It was only available during the market yesterday. Mother will go to the town to buy it for you at the next market.

While talking, Zhou Yong had already finished eating the candied haws, licked his upper and lower lips, peeked at Zhou Heng's still intact candied haws, and said to Pei Xiu: "Mother, do you have any more? It's delicious, sweet and sour. It's sour, I still want to eat it. ''

Hearing what Zhou Yong said, Zhou Sheng and Zhou Shan quickly stuffed the candied haws in their hands into their mouths one by one. Zhou Yong watched their movements, stared at them, and then turned to look at Zhou Heng.

''No more, next time you buy it, you are not allowed to rob your brother. '' Pei Xiu also felt amused when she saw his small movements.

''understood. '' Zhou Yong responded indifferently, stretched out his arms and hugged Zhou Heng, who was bewildered, and walked out. He heard him whisper: ''Bench, you divide the candied fruit into two, and I will take you there later. Catch small crabs and small shrimps, I will give you everything, so you can eat more at night. ''

Pei Xiu listened to him fooling Xiao Zhouheng~ and didn't stop her. They solved the children's affairs by themselves, which will be their childhood memories in the future.

Pei Xiu looked at Zhou Heng and nodded, and then handed Tanghulu to his eldest brother. His eldest brother patted him on the head and showed a relieved expression. Pei Xiu found it funny again.

Zhou Sheng and Zhou Shan looked at each other, with a clear expression on their faces, they knew that the younger brother was easy to deceive. Fortunately, they were smart and fast. Also following the pace of the older brother and younger brother, the group went out to play again.

Zhou Cheng has nothing to do every day now. After training a few children, he just walks around the trap set on the mountain and picks up more firewood. He feels that as it is now, Pei Xiu has to boil water and wash his body and feet every day. Yes, he and several children also have to wash their feet every day. Firewood can't survive the spring at all, and in previous years, it was only after the first snowfall that the kang was burned. Now, it takes more firewood to burn the kang and grow vegetables. When I go to the mountains to pick up firewood, sometimes I see a few kids playing like crazy, and I ask them to pick it up together.

Zhou Yong is already half a child, and he is already half a laborer in the family. He can do a lot of things. Coupled with the recent good food and warm clothes, the height has jumped a lot, and the ten-year-old dog Dan of the Lao Wang family next door is not as tall as him.

In the past, he would never lose a fight with someone bigger than him, but now he can press him down and fight him so loudly.

As soon as the house and yard were cleaned up, the door was clapped.

Thinking about who, Pei Xiu knocked on the door like this, as if to seek revenge. It's not nearly the same, people come to find fault. As soon as Pei Xiu opened the courtyard door, the next-door sister-in-law Chunhua said in a loud voice: "Miss Hammer, look at how many broken children in your family beat my dog's balls, their faces are blue, how do you teach the children? It really kills me to beat people so hard, ouch...''
