Chapter 78

In the afternoon, the scene of "touch autumn" was in full swing again. People in all villages returned after dinner.

Ye Xiaoxian and they also went.

The tofu flowers and jelly in the morning have been sold out. They just play in the afternoon.

The afternoon activity is the real "touch autumn". The organizers will hide lentils and pumpkins in remote corners, and then let the women of various villages find them.

Finding pumpkins means that you can have boys next year, because "Nan" is homonymous with "male", and those who find lentils have girls, because lentils are also known as "Emei beans", which means girls.

No matter what you touch, you can finally take it home and cook it. It is also a welfare given by the squires to the villagers.

As soon as Li Hongmei arrived at the scene, she said to Ye Xiaoxian, "leaf, I'll try my best to touch it later, so that we can find the dishes tonight."

Ye Xiaoxian doesn't want to.

She went with Baoshan once. It was obvious that she didn't win. She came to kuishui last month.

So, no matter what she touches, she can't have a baby.

Just wanted to tell Li Hongmei she wouldn't go, but Li Hongmei said to Xiao Baozhu, "Baozhu, you too. You must try your best to touch what you touch later."

Xiao Baozhu said discontentedly, "I haven't married yet. What do you touch?"

"Well, I'm old enough. Won't I touch it like you later? I'm not trying to save money for more dishes at home."

Xiao Baozhu curled her mouth discontentedly.

Ye Xiaoxian understands that Li Hongmei doesn't care whether she can have children or not. She just wants to be greedy for such a small bargain.

It can also be understood that Li Hongmei was poor for half her life. She was short of food and clothing. She was greedy for small bargains. Why not.

The afternoon "touch autumn" is not on the lawn in the morning, but in the woods next to the lawn.

At this time, the grove has been separated. Only women are allowed to enter, and men are not allowed to enter.

But women should also be checked when they go in. Not women of school age can't go in. For example, those under the age of 12 and over the age of 35 are not allowed to go in.

But this is the rule. After all, this is a rural area. Who doesn't want to be greedy for small and cheap?

Not only Li Hongmei but also Wang Mudan had the cheek to line up, and they just lined up not far from ye Xiaoxian.

But Wang Mudan was stopped.

The gatekeeper asked her, "aunt, how old are you? Will you have a baby next year?"

"Sheng, why not? There are only two girls and a boy in my family. I'm going to have a brother for jiabaocheng." Wang Mudan said brazenly.

But the gatekeeper didn't believe her: "you see, you are already a grandmother and have a little brother. Go back and ask your husband if he agrees? Next!"

"Hey, little brother, that... I..." Wang Mudan tried to fight for it, but he was soon kicked out by the gatekeeper.

Angry, Wang peony stamped his feet: "I look only 30 years old, okay? Why can't I have children when I'm 30?"

When Li Hongmei saw that Wang Mudan had been driven out, she immediately laughed with joy: "cut, it's more than 40 people, and pretending to be 30. It's shameless."

Ye Xiaoxian didn't say anything because she was also worried about Li Hongmei.

Sure enough, when it was Li Hongmei's turn, the guard looked at her up and down for a while and asked her, "how old are you?"

Li Hongmei said with a sweet smile, "I'm only twenty-eight."

Ye Xiaoxian: "

The little brother of the guard obviously didn't believe that Li Hongmei was only twenty-eight, so he pointed to Xiao Baozhu and asked, "who is she?"

"She? She's my... Sister." Li Hongmei doesn't make up lies.

Xiao Baozhu: "

Li Hongmei continued to smile: "Oh, brother guard, what did I cheat you for? Some people are old and some are small. Look at the leaves in front of me. She is twenty-two this year. Does she look only fifteen or sixteen?"

Li Hongmei refers to Ye Xiaoxian.

Ye Xiaoxian: "

I really want to pretend I don't know Li Hongmei.

However, although Li Hongmei had tried her best, the guard still didn't believe her and said coldly, "please get out of the line and let these little ones in."

Finally, Li Hongmei had to leave the team reluctantly.

Wang Mudan has been staring at Li Hongmei. Just now Li Hongmei laughed at her. Now it's her turn to laugh at Li Hongmei: "Oh, I only dare to pretend to be thirty, but you can directly pretend to be twenty-eight."

"If you dare to pretend thirty, I dare to pretend twenty-eight. What's the matter?" Li Hongmei asked.

"It's nothing. Anyway, now everyone has been driven out. We can only have a look outside."

“……”

The two almost fought again.

……

Many people surrounded the grove.

They could see clearly what was going on in the woods.

Li Hongmei soon found xiaobaoshan. When she saw xiaobaoshan, she was very lost and said, "Alas, she was driven out. She could have gone in with them to touch the pumpkin."

Xiao Baoshan looked at Li Hongmei's lost appearance. He couldn't help smiling: "it doesn't matter. Our family can't eat so much."

"I don't know if the leaves can be touched. If not, I can only eat wild vegetable porridge at night."

"Don't you still have Baozhu? Besides, it's good to eat wild vegetable porridge. Everyone didn't work this afternoon and didn't have to eat so much."

Li Hongmei was coaxed by her son's three or two words, and looked happily at the forest again.

"Baoshan, have you seen leaves and pearls?" Li Hongmei asked on tiptoe.

"Over there." Xiao Baoshan randomly pointed in one direction.

Li Hongmei still can't see it, even though she has tiptoed very high.

"Baoshan, sometimes my mother really doubts that you are not my own. Your father and I are so short, but how can you be so tall?" Li Hongmei asked.

Xiao Baoshan smiled: "there are always one or two outstanding."

"Yes, yes, maybe you joined the army and ate better in the barracks. It's not like at home. It depends on the faces of the big room and the third room. You often don't have enough to eat."

Xiao Baoshan turned to Li Hongmei and said, "Mom, don't worry. You'll be satisfied in the future. You can eat whatever you want."

Xiao Baoshan actually blamed himself. If he were more capable, his mother and younger brothers and sisters would not live so hard, and his mother would not be greedy to touch some pumpkins and lentils in autumn activities.

But Li Hongmei was as if nothing had happened. She asked Xiao Baoshan, "Baoshan, what do you want the leaves to touch? Pumpkin or lentils. Do you like boys or girls?"

Xiao Baoshan was stunned.

His eyes fell on Ye Xiaoxian. Even if he was far away, he could still see ye Xiaoxian. She was looking for something quickly in the forest, like a little rabbit looking for food.
