Class 8, Grade 2, Phoenix

Chapter 31

After arriving at the school early in the morning on Tuesday, the grand occasion of the school celebration was spreading on the campus. The left-behind students talked about the wonderful martial arts performance, the fun and connotation of the sketch "Flying", singing field songs and interacting with everyone "Campus Morning" There are also the old principal Yu Shucheng's "Phoenix City Talk", the warm and romantic umbrella feeling and the promise to stay after the rain... The students who spoke were gesticulating and their eyebrows were dancing, and the students who listened were fascinated, All yearning is mixed with regret.During extracurricular activities in the afternoon, at the strong request of the majority of students, the video of the school celebration was broadcast on TV. The experimental classes and Class 8 and Class [-] had a pleasant memory. Other classes cheered and cheered a little, but their emotions eased a little, but they were not able to experience it personally. Some ideas are still unfinished...

The topic of the week is the grand occasion of the school celebration. Some classes borrowed the school celebration album from the teacher and circulated it. Some classes repeatedly played the school celebration CD in the classroom. Apart from making good comments, they also saw a teacher or classmate they were familiar with. Endless envy after appearing happily in the camera...

Tian Ge and Grade 8 Class [-] have had an uneventful week. They have received letters from Fang Chenghu and Hao Xinyao, and sometimes tell their friends about school celebrations...Tian Ge still practiced vocal music early, finished extracurricular activities, and went to the empty classroom on the fourth floor to practice. Dance and body, and then study like everyone else, after all, the mid-term exam is coming.

Only Li Gege is missing with Tian Ge and Xu Yun. After class, she often goes to the balcony to chat with Gong Maike. When she has time, she also learns about the NBA and basketball. Now she can know all the stars of the NBA teams. Dare To predict who will be the top eight in the Western Conference... Xu Yun once saw Li Gege wipe Gong Maike's sweat with a towel after the game, just like Ouyang Shuya used to treat Zhe.

On Thursday, the school announced Friday and week.

"Why old Zhou, it's almost time for the midterm exam..."

"It's only been three or four days, and I'm going home again... We're here to go to school, not just thinking about running home..."

"I'm not leaving, Lu Yuan is tossing back and forth, I'm reviewing at school these two days..."

"Does the principal have relatives with the bus driver, who always asks us to take the bus back and forth..."

Instead of the elation of the usual weeks, there are more complaints. When Jin Yuanzheng heard the latter complaints and speculations, he really couldn’t laugh or cry—if that statement is true, he should not strengthen closed management and let students come and go freely. , because my younger sister runs a supermarket on the street...

There is also speculation that the principal was moved and influenced by the skit "Flying Fly" by Class 8, Grade [-] during the school celebration, and has shown mercy since then?Qiao Letian explained that our sitcoms have some ideological significance, but they are more about being funny and connecting various performances together, and we don’t have such a serious confinement phenomenon here. For example, there is no fifth class in the morning. It’s just that two days is not half a day, it’s just that it’s a bit early for the exercise...

In the end, Director Fang of the principal's office had no choice but to come forward and explain: it was because the exams in the tenth cycle were scheduled for a week, so I adjusted it so that next week would not be a week; Hard work, they should not be allowed to go home after four weeks; and this Saturday and Sunday, many teachers will have to take refresher or qualification exams, and cannot complete normal teaching... If you don’t want to go home, the school has two days. The dormitory administrators open and close the doors normally, and the windows 5 and 6 of the restaurant provide three meals for everyone. All classrooms, reading rooms, and libraries are also open around the clock.

In this way, the students suddenly stopped guessing randomly. Jin Yuanzheng felt that many things had to be explained to avoid confusion, and he was also inspired by the children's eagerness to learn and cherishing time like gold.

At noon on Friday, less than half of the students in the class chose to go home, and some of them hesitated and said that they would return home in a day, and they also asked students who lived close to them to help them bring some money and things back... Back of Tian Ge Waiting at the school gate with a backpack to go home with Xie Wenna, Xu Yun ran over, dragged Tian Ge and said pantingly that she called Li Gege just now, but Gege said that she and Michael had an appointment to watch the third and third games of the NBA regular season. The four quarters were broadcast live, and then celebrated the establishment of the school team with Zheng Chao and the others, and Michael became the second captain.

"I knew Gege was a bit of a sexist before friends! This time she seems to be serious... This is the first time that we, the Audio-Technica, will not advance and retreat together!" Xu Yun complained with a bear backpack, and then told Xie Wenna: "I bring A small gift for your sister and brother... There are also spiced fish, lunch beef, yellow peaches, fennel beans... a large bottle of juice drink... But there is no master of cooking like Gege, we can't just eat canned food!"

"Xiaoyun, do you think that every event we do is a dinner party? We're going to Xiaona's house to have fun, to see sister Wenlei's small pickle factory..." Tian Ge was very excited when she saw what she was doing. Rich, smiled.

"We understand this. Xiaoyun's famous sayings are 'eating, drinking and having fun, eating is the first', 'eating is the economic foundation, knowledge is the superstructure, you can only study when you are full, and it is still the food of the gods...' "Shao Xiaoyu imitated Xu Yun's usual tone of voice, deliberately emphasizing every word he said.

"Xu Yun's Quotations! They are always associated with food, very common and reasonable..." Xie Wenna also laughed.

Everyone teased Xu Yun and laughed meaningfully. Many students who came and went looked at their happy appearance and were envious, bowing their heads and chirping to communicate with each other.

"Let's go! Pigeons here will cause traffic jams..." Xu Yun suggested, and added: "Cao Cao wants to go together... I said we won't come back today, so I will sleep with Xiaona, you go Is it? I made Cao thick-skinned and blushed, hehe..."

"You..." Xie Wenna had learned the sharpness of reporter Xu's words, and couldn't laugh or cry.

"It's not entirely true to say that Cao Cao is thick-skinned! He whistled on the day of the school celebration. I saw him blushing when he faced the audience, and he began to whistle intermittently..." Shao Xiaoyu quickly took it, and said: "How many whistles are there in our dormitory?" One wants to go too, I said there are already three of them... Ouyang took a few of you from 103 and two of us from 102 to her house, she said that their house is very empty, and she looks forward to everyone's laughter..."

The four girls thought of the mutual dependence of Ouyang's mother and daughter, and were a little silent.

Xie Wenna took Xu Yun, and Shao Xiaoyu took Tian Ge on the bike borrowed from Zheng Shuai, heading west along the abandoned old road, and played at the reservoir gate station of Dahe for a while, and then got off the dirt road. In the orchard, there are lush forests on the embankment, and the birds are singing and the fruits are fragrant.Although the road is not easy to walk, Xu Yun and Tian Ge had to come down and walk in many areas, but everyone was very excited. Tian Ge and Shao Xiaoyu admired the scenery here. Xu Yun said that I will build a building here in the future when I have money. The villa - not the pure white stand out of Ouyang's family, but an elegant wooden house with a thatched roof, but I don't cut down the trees here to build it.I want to put my pony on the grassy slope in the forest, or float my canoe in the river... The four girls, including Xu Yun herself, were intoxicated by the beautiful blueprint she drew. It would be even better if she played the violin.Shao Xiaoyu and Xie Wenna said that you should just close your eyes and play it. It is not too difficult to realize the material things ahead. It is not even possible for you to hire a pigeon to play the violin for you. At that time, the pigeon was already a popular star. Well, it costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to show up... Can you afford it?Tian Ge said I’m sorry, we haven’t learned the violin, we really don’t know how to do it, if you say that I will definitely come to our class reunion, of course I will fall in love with your wooden house when I come, and I will send someone to occupy it for leisure and summer vacation after being busy A resort or a spiritual home to spend your old age in peace after the shadows in the future.Xu Yun said solemnly that Occupy is welcome, I can develop villas around it, and then I will make a fortune...

At this time, a tall and thin boy rushed over from behind. Xie Wenna said that he was from Class 2 named Xie Minggong, and his home was at the east end of Xieyuan, so he asked him to help. When everyone was discussing how to allocate three bicycles among five people, they came across He got a motorized tricycle—it was driven by Xie Minggong's brother Xie Mingzhi, and Xie Wenlei was still sitting in the car.It turned out that a classmate who arrived home early told Xie Wenlei that her second sister had brought guests, and Xie Wenlei was discussing with Xie Mingzhi about the quality of the pickles. The ones don't look very good, and the sales are not ideal... Xie Mingzhi's family has a motorized tricycle, and he took the initiative to help Xie Wenlei do the work of feeding and delivering the goods.Xie Wenlei knew it was Tian Ge and the others, so he quickly cleaned up. After hearing this, Xie Mingzhi said that he went to pick up his younger brother and drove over together...

Although it was by car, the dirt road was always full of potholes. Xie Wenlei reminded Xie Mingzhi to slow down and drive slowly, which was at the same speed as the three people riding behind him, but they still had to talk loudly to each other because of the sound of the diesel engine and The movement of the bumpy road is really not small... So it was about three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Xieyuan. Xu Yun did some calculations: They set off at 12:[-] and played in Xidahe for about half an hour. It takes half an hour, that is to say, it takes Wen Lei and Wen Na sisters to go home for an hour and a half, such a long way... Xie Wenlei said that it is not far, less than twenty miles - she marked it, but the road is difficult Go so spend more time.Those days when she worked as a helper in the school cafeteria, she lived in Shengxinzhuang, her grandmother's house. If she was at home, she would have to get up at four o'clock in the morning, and would not be home until ten o'clock in the evening.Xu Yun and the others thought of the phrase "If you want to get rich, build roads first", Xie Wenlei said, that is to say, everyone only feels the inconvenience caused by bad roads except when they sell apples every year, and they seldom go out at ordinary times. Zhuangzi is big, every family has a vegetable garden, and the folk customs are simple and simple. As long as the elders in the clan don't say anything, no one will take the initiative to do it...

Xie Wenna's house is in the west of Zhuangzi, just across a river ditch about 10 meters wide from north to south. The main house of her house is three green brick houses, and the roof tiles are still the kind of cloud tiles with two ends upturned. The tiles are a little green , some grass grew between the tile cracks, swaying with the wind... The concrete brick floor at the main entrance of the hall is about [-] centimeters higher than the flat ground, and many places have been polished smooth. Huang's scroll painting, with couplets attached on both sides, a pair of incense table displaying tablets and offerings, cigarettes lingering...

There are four bungalows on the east side, a small room on the north side is sister Wen Lei’s boudoir, the second room facing the door is a study room, and a big Eight Immortals table is in the middle, where sister Wen Lei occasionally calculates accounts, and more often It was Wenmei from the sixth grade and Wenjie from the fourth grade doing homework there.The south side is divided into two rooms by a wall made of foil (made of sorghum straw) and then powdered with mud. The southernmost room is the bedroom of Wen Na and Wen Mei. Usually, Wen Jie sometimes goes to Wen Lei’s room to sleep. , sometimes ran to Wen Na's bed, but rarely slept in his own crib honestly.The remaining room was undoubtedly Wen Jie's happy little world, with awards and big characters written all over the wall, and on the floor was a soldier phalanx he had made out of plaster, with three teams of troops already lined up.

There are also four rooms on the west side, and two old houses on the north side. The lower part of the wall is made of blue stone, and the upper part is built with large green bricks up to waist height. The roof is also made of straw.The windows are made of poplar wood and are rotten, and the black-painted wooden door is open. Xie Wenna said that because the shaft underneath has rusted and rotted, the door will fall off when opened and closed. things.Tian Ge lowered his head and went in, feeling cool as if he had entered an air-conditioned room. He also saw a colony of wasps living peacefully in the small window on the gable wall.Xie Wenna said that the inside is warm in winter and cool in summer—because the walls are thicker, the sun can’t shine through in summer, and there are few windows in this house in winter, and there are no large windows to the outside of the courtyard, so the cold north wind can’t come in... But when you look up, you can see The only problem is that the soil looks very dirty, and the lighting is not very good. The earthen houses like Zhuangshang gradually become uninhabited.There are old people who don’t want to leave the earthen house, but the family members say that you have to take care of your children and grandchildren’s face. The Zhuang Master will scold us for mistreating you, so the old man has to move into the brick house under the begging of his children and grandchildren, but some old people will deliberately move when they are unhappy Going to live in an earthen house, they will soon be able to get what they want, but such families are often not very harmonious.Widow Zhao’s parents-in-law, like Zhuang Nanmian, didn’t like their daughter-in-law’s demeanor, so they moved to live in a mud house in an old courtyard. Later, they just gritted their teeth and spent money to build two brick houses in Nandi to keep out of sight and out of mind... …The two rooms on the south side are actually sheds. They were used to raise large livestock in the early years, and later they used to raise ducks. Now they tie up a few sheep and piled up some empty tanks—Xie Wenlei said that at the beginning, we should do less at first, and then look at the market. Slowly grow bigger...

Most of the courtyard in the south was piled up with several large tanks with sealed mouths and bricks pressed on them.The remaining open space is still very large. Grandpa Xie said that this yard is one mu, 12 meters wide from east to west, and 60 meters from north to south. My yard in Zhuangshang is relatively small, and Xie Zhide’s house in the east—that is, Meiji’s house—is close to three acres. the land!Master Zhide is more than 80 years old, he is the oldest old man in the clan, and he has to speak for many things.Master Zhide saw that our family was short of labor, so he asked Meiji to help Wen Lei run the factory. Although they were about the same age, they were the granddaughter of grandparents, and no one dared to gossip...

The earthen courtyard walls are stretched around, and there are two halls in the front. The gate is in the middle. There is a stone pier on the east side of the gate, and a stone mortar on the west side. .The east room is the kitchen, the walls have been sooted black and the color of the earth is gone, only the brick bowl table can see the gleaming white tiles, on it is a large sand basin for kneading dough, and below are the neatly stacked bowls Dish And Big Sea Bowl.A chopping board was erected against the wall, facing outwards was the sunken board with many knife marks. Behind the stove were stacks of dry branches and corn stalks, and beside it was a long wooden box with a handle and a round hole. Shao Xiaoyu asked Tian Ge You must have never seen this before, it is called a bellows - it is used to blow air into the bottom of the pot, try it when you are cooking?

There was half a stack of wheat straw at the door. While cooking, Tian Ge saw Wenmei come over and smoked two handfuls to make a fire. It was very useful!Grandpa Xie said that this stack has been there for three years, but now it is full of fruit trees, the wheat fields are rare, and the stacks of straw are also gone.

Everything here exudes a simple and rustic atmosphere. Tian Ge has seen some things in TV and movies, and some things have been described by her grandparents, but she has never seen or touched them with her own eyes.She felt new and curious about many things, and she was a little excited when she touched her and asked about it. Xie Wenna's family was a little surprised at first, but later found out that this beautiful girl was from a big city and had never seen the "country world".

Xie Wenna's grandfather is in his sixties, with a bronze face, tall, strong, and talkative.Grandma is a stooped little old lady, with wrinkled face, gray hair, and the emptiness and indifference in her eyes make it difficult to get close to her. She just nodded when she saw them, and then she didn’t say a word—if it wasn’t for Xie Wenna Tell them a very strange reason, they thought it was a deaf old man.

Grandpa Xie's talkativeness made Tian Ge and the others quickly understand the general situation and anecdotes of this village: since ancient times, this place is far away from the city and the road, and it is a barren beach where wild animals are infested. The ancestors of Xie's family were high officials in the Yuan Dynasty. In order to avoid persecution by treacherous officials, he took his family members to resign and return to his hometown to live in seclusion here.When they first arrived here, everyone killed a white-fronted tiger with eye-catching eyes, also known as "beating the tiger and thanking the garden". The big Zhuangzi of the mouth.This village is a big one, each family closes their doors to live their own lives, people come and go less, and things that they don’t know in a village happen from time to time... There are straight and straight roads in the village, and the Xie’s Ancestral Hall is in the middle The ruins of Xiejia Garden and Jiaxue are now the primary school in the village. Outside the village, there is still a ten-meter-wide moat that used to protect the village, and only a section of the wall in the northwest corner remains, because of the square layout. Some people also call this village "Chessboard Xie Garden".There are many rules in this village that are different from the outside world. For example, every family must have a male. A male has a name in the genealogy before he was born. The Meiji "... Genghis Khan, mighty all nations. The ancestors were diligent in politics, Wenzhiwugong..." ranked No.60 and second in this generation, and his younger brother Minggong was 64.Xie Zhide is the patriarch of the clan. Children in his family can only get married after they are 26 years old. Houses are not allowed to be built east of his family—so naturally the patriarch comes from his family. The more dangerous it is... the Qixin in this village is also well-known: in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, all the surrounding villages were looted by Da Mazi—the bandits who fled in this area—and finally attacked Xie Yuan, the largest Zhuangzi in this area, because The walls of the village were high and thick, the moat was wide and deep, and they fought for three days and three nights without success. Later, they wanted to cut the wheat so as not to get nothing.The old village owner Xie Zhenbiao, who was covered in wounds and looked like a man of blood, rode out of the village with the old and young women and children. He chopped off the second bandit leader Xu Dabeard with a knife, and then swung the knife to remove his badly injured left arm, shouting "You dare to move!" I am a leader of wheat ears in Xie Yuan, and I, Xie Zhenbiao, will drive you to the ends of the earth with my descendants..." Zhou Dalu, the bandit leader, was afraid of the bravery of Xie Yuan's people, and retreated out of Xie Yuan's ground. Attack the yamen, don't attack Xie Yuan!" The family rules in the village are very strict. There were no traitors during the Kuomintang, Communist, and Japanese puppet times. There was no KMT and guerrillas. It was Xie Yuan who couldn't be splashed with water... These years of family planning have exceeded births. , Said that paying the fine is not enough for the Master Zhuang to exchange the money, and it is impossible not to let him live, because there are family rules!In the early years, it happened that the family planning office wanted to take people away, and they were surrounded by a village and refused to let them go. The old man Zhide called the cadres of the family planning office to his home and said, "Leave the people, even big horses can't take them away from my village." What a firewood stick! If you want to take people away, you can kill all three thousand people in my village first, and then you can only take away the dead people lying sideways..." Later, the daughter-in-law took the initiative to have an abortion, but the whole family did not reach the end of the year Moved out of Xie Yuan to live in the child's grandma's house...

"Grandpa, two days before the Meiji era, he told me about the Family Planning Office's bringing people in. He said that the ethnic policy allowed Xie Duosheng from the inner family...not what people later rumored to mess up Hong Kong! The old man who knows morality is reasonable and would not be so arrogant. It's unreasonable!...Some are just hearsay, and you haven't experienced it yourself... Once you open this chatterbox, you can still finish talking in three or five days? I think Xiaona will take her classmates to our field first. Order apples, pick some vegetables, and bring an old pumpkin to make soup... Come back and wander around, and listen to you carefully when you are free..." Xie Wenlei interrupted his grandfather's chatter with a smile, and cleaned up a few Baskets woven from twigs and chazi (a tool that is slung over the shoulder and has an opening on one side) arranged for my sister to take a few classmates to the West Apple Field.

When they went out, Xu Yun took the initiative to carry the bag for Tian Ge and deliberately let Tian Ge hold the scorpion. Tian Ge first carried it with one hand, but felt that it was wrong to hold the scorpion with both hands, and finally carried it on his shoulders but it was shaking... Xie Wenna and the others Couldn't help laughing, Xu Yun laughed so hard that she didn't forget to take Tian Ge's DV to video her.

"You're such a big villain, you're trying to get rid of other people's pigeons on purpose!" It was Shao Xiaoyu who had some sympathy, and came over to teach Tian Ge the correct posture, "It's like this, it's called a crutch... Hold it with your palms back Here... for the first time you can find out that it is already very good!"

Tian Ge faced the camera, walked back and forth triumphantly, and even made a gesture to pick up Xu Yun and throw it into the bucket... "Pick up the dung, throw it into the bucket!" Xie Wenna also joked, laughing To describe it.Shao Xiaoyu was stunned at first and then laughed.Xu Yun was stunned. Putting down the DV would bring down Xie Wenna.

"What did Xiaona say, Xiaoyun is about to go up and beat her up like a fat monkey..." Tian Ge didn't understand.

Shao Xiaoyu was out of breath from laughing, and when he heard the description of a fat monkey, he was even more out of breath. After laughing enough, he told Tian Ge the reason, and then imitated the old days when people picked up dung in the morning and saw a pile of good dung The surprised look at the time, before the gesture was finished, the girls were already laughing.

Along the way, people commented on a few stylishly dressed city kids who were taking pictures around with a reporter's machine, and were amazed at Tian Ge's beauty... Xie Wenna reminded everyone not to be too ostentatious. The folk customs in the village are simple, and you are described as monsters... The girls are a little surprised. Although Xu Yun joked about the vixen, she still restrained herself a lot.

In the southwestern area, I passed a small village of about ten families. Xie Wenna said that it was Xiaozhangzhuang, and that it was not Xie's family, so I couldn't live in Xieyuan... While talking, a woman in her thirties shouted loudly from them. Passing by, swearing... Tian Ge didn't understand, so he didn't understand what the woman was saying, so he asked, Xie Wenna whispered that it was cursing - this woman lost a big rooster, and she was swearing from the west end of Zhuang to the east end. It's not over until it gets dark!There is no such thing in our Xieyuan, because the village does not close the house during the day and night, and there has never been a thing of throwing things away. No one dares to swear in the street. If you don’t obey women’s morals, both husband and wife will kneel in the ancestral hall in our village. The big stone lion in front of the ruins took a day and a night, and the woman had to go back to her natal home for a week of self-reflection!

Tian Ge took the DV and pretended to be taking pictures of the surrounding scenery and slowly approached the woman, wanting to record the woman's gesture of slapping her legs and spitting foam from her mouth.The woman was very vigilant, and when she saw her coming, she left in silence. After going back and forth like this, the woman hid in the yard and never came out... In the evening, she told her husband that a very beautiful female reporter wanted to record my ugly swearing. Embarrass your Zhang family.

Tian Ge was a little regretful. When he saw the red apples on the bent branches in the apple field, he forgot and followed Shao Xiaoyu to pick apples. Xie Wenna and Xu Yun were in charge of picking vegetables.After a while, the basket was full, and Xie Wenna said that she forgot to plan some red taro, we had to consume some... So she took them to the well in the middle of the ground to press water to wash the apples, Tian Ge and Xu Yun had roasted red taro on the mountain Excited to hear this, Xie Wenna wanted to press the water when she arrived at the well, so Xie Wenna had to teach her by hand, telling her not to use brute force. It doesn't take much effort, and the wellhead can discharge water calmly.

"Xiaona, what is this?" Tian Ge asked, pointing to the empty fence in the north and the small house without the south wall. "What is it?" "What are you doing?" These are the most frequently asked questions by Tian Ge this afternoon.

"This is a pigsty! You know my sister originally wanted to learn how to raise pigs..." Xie Wenna explained.

"Pigeon, I can finally stop worshiping you!" Xu Yun gnawed on the peeled apple that Shao Xiaoyu handed over, and said comfortably: "Because you are not familiar with life in this country, you don't understand anything, Yes, my self-confidence is highly inflated at the moment, and I feel that we know everything and know everything, which is very remarkable! Just like you know Emmanuel, Griffith, Hitchcock...here is our territory!"

"You speak like a local snake! No, like a landlord who has never been out of the house..." Shao Xiaoyu commented, "There is a word to describe it, that is 'yelang is arrogant'..."

"It's normal. Everyone has things they don't understand and don't know... What's wrong with Yelang's arrogance, at least Yelang is very confident!" Tian Ge also took the peeled apple and took a bite, "Wow! Really Sweet! When I was in the third grade of junior high school, I thought peanuts were grown on trees..." Laughing.

"Hi! Let you guess a riddle: Who is Rice's mother?" Xu Yun's facial muscles were almost involved in the exercise, and she couldn't hide her expression when she was being funny.

"Who doesn't know! It's not a riddle, it's a brain teaser..." Xie Wenna exposed her, "It's flowers! Because of peanuts, right?"

"I'm going to come up with a riddle, and the riddle is: What should I do if the pig in the pigsty escapes?" Shao Xiaoyu stopped peeling apples, and smiled, "The answer to the riddle is a famous singer!"

"Pig... circle... run out..." Xu Yun was racking her brains, for a long time: "I can't guess it! Dai Qiang can definitely do it, she knows all about those singers, like Jay Chou, Wilber Pan, Wang Leehom..."

"It's Wang Leehom! Think about it, if you run out, you have to be thrown back into the circle, and blast in, Wang Leehom..." Shao Xiaoyu held back a smile and explained, the three girls laughed and clapped their hands and feet.Shao Xiaoyu continued: "What if the pig runs out again? I'll hit a famous singer!"

The three of Xu Yun and the others couldn't figure it out, so they had to beg Shao Xiaoyu for the answer, and when they knew the answer, they almost burst out laughing, "Boom! Han Hong!"

The four girls happily consumed some apples and went to the Xitou field again.Xu Yun was surprised to see that there were still a few small melons in the field. She peeled them and gnawed them. It was a bit bitter, so she vomited...

"Idiot! Is layangzi melon delicious?" Xie Wenna laughed at her and told Tian Ge: "If it's summer vacation, there will be more delicious food, besides apples and pears, there are also grapes, watermelons, small melons... You can cook salted peanuts, edamame, tender (lun in the dialect, the same meaning) cobs - that is boiled corn sold on the street, you can also touch it when the holiday is coming. Monkey - that is the larvae of cicadas - kang to eat , My sister Xiaomei and my brother Xiaojie touched more than 10 yuan in 4000 days and sold it for 700 yuan. They were supposed to make pocket money for a year to buy some school supplies, food and play, and this time they gave it to my sister. The factory is closed, and they said that the family’s steamed buns are still used to support people. If they had known that my sister needed money, they would have gone to the grove on the river embankment to find more..."

A few girls yearned for it at first, but then they were moved: In school, everyone admired Xie Wenna's diligence and "being poor and ambitious", and her younger siblings are also so sensible...

Arriving at the red taro field in the west, when Xie Wenna took the red taro seedlings, shook them back and forth, left and right, and then picked up a bunch of large and small red taro, Tian Ge exclaimed "Wow" - she didn't expect a There are so many harvests under the seedlings...

"Hey! Xiaoyun, don't move, let the pigeons experience it..." Xie Wenna stopped Xu Yun, who was eager to try, "We can't squeeze too much, this is very full... We can't take too much..."

Tian Ge was a little excited, grabbed the lower part of the seedling, and yanked it hard - instead of being so full of melons like Xie Wenna, he sat on the ground with a "plop", holding the torn seedling in his hand, with a dazed expression on his face...

Shao Xiaoyu quickly helped her up, Xu Yun had already recorded the whole process just now and was playing it back with a smile, Xie Wenna said with a smile: "Gezi, you usually learn and talk about skills and methods, but this time you didn't pay attention to skills...it should be like this, Shake it first to loosen the surrounding soil, and then slowly exert force... Pay attention to the rhythm, if you feel that the seedling can't bear it, you have to stop for a while... Finally, gently pull it out..." Then he pulled Tian Ge to teach her.Tian Ge, who had mastered the details, finally pulled out most of a red taro tree smoothly. Seeing the red taro, big and small, hanging down in her hands, she couldn't help but hug Xu Yun next to her.

"You have the juice of red taro seedlings in your hand..." Xu Yun jumped away in fright.

Tian Ge saw the sticky white juice and some green, so he said to wash his hands.Shao Xiaoyu said that we still have to review it, because there are still red taro that fell in the soil... Sure enough, a few more large and small red taro were picked up, "Review is very necessary!" Xu Yun concluded.

After returning to the well and washing their hands, everyone returned with a full load.Tian Ge wanted to hold the scorpion, but Xie Wenna told her that if you haven't used this tool before, your shoulders will be red and even hurt... She had no choice but to give up and snatched the DV from Xu Yun to record for everyone—Xie Wenna's Chazi is the heaviest, still holding a pumpkin in his hand, but walking very steadily. She often does this. Shao Xiaoyu’s basket full of apples is a bit wobbly when walking, and Xu Yun’s basket is full of red taro. After a while, there were sweat beads on the chubby face, who was staggering like a drunken fist, and everyone was smiling, like a guerrilla returning from a big victory.

Two children came from the opposite side, and they called "Second Sister" from afar. It was Xie Wenmei and Xie Wenjie who came home from school and heard that they came to help. The two children took the basket in Xu Yun's hand and carried it together. Put the pumpkin on it, and Xu Yun went to help Shao Xiaoyu... Facing the DV in Tian Singer, Wen Jie swaggered and walked with his arms up and made faces. When Wen Mei was photographed, he waved his hands to hide from the camera and walked away shyly , and then looked enviously at Tian Ge and the machine in her hand.

"Xiaona! Where do your siblings rank in the literary generation? Why do you worship Genghis Khan in your genealogy, not Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu..." Xu Yun's hands became lighter, and his mind became active.

"My grandfather doesn't even know about this...Wenjie is ranked eighth! Our sisters are not in the ranking..." Xie Wenna replied.Seeing the question marks on the faces of all three of them, she quickly explained: in the family tree, only males are listed, and their sisters' Lei, Na, and Mei are characters that are not found in the generation ranking of Wen. The descendants of the Xie family who first settled here are the descendants of a royal chef with the surname Xie who escaped from the palace during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty. They are also called Xie, a foreign family, but they have the same ranking and status as Xie in this hall!

"Imperial Dining Room! Will your family be able to cook Manchu Banquet?" Xu Yun was surprised and excited.

"It doesn't mean that all the cooks in the palace will fill the banquet! According to my grandfather, my grandfather may be in charge of pickling pickles in the imperial dining room... He said that pickles are a good thing for the poor to survive the difficulties, and no one cares about the recipe for making pickles!" Xie Wenna said eloquently, "Grandfather also stipulated that the recipe should be passed on to the daughter-in-law and not to the daughter-in-law, so after the ingredients are prepared, my sister will not be around, and grandma will prepare the ingredients before letting my sister go in and throw them into the tank..."

"What a legend, what a mystery!" Xu Yun admired, "The ad advertises that the pickles you make are a secret palace recipe..."

"I thought so too, but I don't have any money!" Xie Wenna helped Fuchazi and said, "My sister said that it's the right thing to eat if it's good or not! Take your time... But this first batch of goods is not as good as usual. It’s delicious! My sister said that it’s not that big of a difference if it’s served three days earlier, right? Grandma doesn’t know what’s going on, she said step by step, can it be delicious in a small tank? Or the ancestors didn’t let us make it This business? I'm very confused..."

"I don't think so! The pickled vegetables in the palace must be big vats with the same ingredients, maybe there is a little problem somewhere?" Tian Ge turned off the machine in his hand, thought for a while, and suggested: "Why don't we let you go back? Let me tell you about it, and see if there are any details that have been overlooked... Many times it is the details that determine success or failure! My mother is a culinary expert and can make the most authentic Korean kimchi, you can ask her opinion..."

The girls were very excited when they heard the words, and they all said that there is still a solution for the pigeons, so let's go back quickly.Xie Wenna was a little happy at first, and then said with some regret that she had to wait until dark, and then told them an incredible thing: Eight years ago, Widow Zhao of Zhuangnan came back from the outside and became supernatural, saying Received the personal instruction of old Lishan mother, opened the eyes of the sky to know the past and the future...Everyone talks nonsense that you have a catastrophe and your family has a catastrophe. When I met your grandma, she said that your ancestral prescription is the best fortune, and your family has a catastrophe. Listening to me can save you from disaster... At that time, my younger brother Wen Jie was just over one year old, and his parents were raising ducks at home. His life was getting better. Seeing what she said, grandma believed her and asked her how to avoid disaster?Widow Zhao said that if you burn incense and pray every day, and promise not to speak more than 100 sentences during the day, you may be able to eliminate the disaster... About half a year later, my parents went to the county town to sell the third batch of ducks, and then went to Sizhou City to buy ducklings. I might be a little sleepy and tired on the way. In order to avoid a goat standing in the middle of the road, the car drove into a ditch, and the car crashed and killed!The bad news came that grandma wanted to die
