Rebirth in another world is good for farming
Chapter 25
Everyone was tired from the fuss in the morning, so they all took a rest after lunch.Zhang Xiaoliu was so thoughtful, he finally stared for a while, and then heard someone calling him.
"Dashun, are you here?" Since coming here, Dashun has been the most frequent visitor.Zhang Xiaoliu recognized his voice and got out of bed to meet him.
Dashun looked anxious, saw him come out, walked up to hold his arm and touched it up and down, then said reproachfully: "You child, why don't you call me if you have something to do? It's useless to be bullied Let's go! Where are Mai Mai and Xiao Song? Are you scared?"
"It's okay, Xiaosong is still young and doesn't remember anything, just coax him. Maimai just got two scratches on his face, and I've already applied the medicine on him."
"Oh, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have instigated you to keep him. Although he is a good boy, but, alas, he can't do anything with such an uncle..." Da Shun recalled the beginning I also agree with him to let Zhao Zhengze stay and regret it. If he had been persuaded at that time, it would be better for Brother Liu to take his younger brother to cross over now, so as not to cause these gossips.
"Dashun, please don't say that. It was my idea at the time. Who would have thought that his uncle would be so unforgiving? But it's just this time. In the future, I don't have much affection to move around. Just hide." It's gone." Although Zhang Xiaoliu was in a low mood, she didn't want to put the fault on others.He had just arrived here at that time, underestimated the difficulty of survival, and indeed sympathized with such an abused child.
"Besides, this year's work in the field is also thanks to Ah Zheng's help, otherwise I really can't do anything with my two younger brothers."
"I also think that he is older than you and can help you with work. Who knew that his uncle is so difficult!" Dashun recalled the rumors he had heard, and his face was worried again: "You are really Yes, you usually talk kindly, why can’t you keep your mouth shut in front of others? Since Uncle Ah Qiang stands up for you, you just listen to him. If you want to be a door-to-door husband, people now say that you want Ah Qiang Entering Zhang's house!"
"Both Maimai and Xiaosong were injured, Bomo Zhao was still yelling, I couldn't control my mouth for a while, so I talked about him. He didn't behave properly." Zhang Xiaoliu was also depressed, and he came here to talk He is always cautious in doing things, but he couldn't help but talk back in front of everyone at noon today. I don't know how long this matter will be discussed.
"I know. He has been like this since he was young. If he digs water, he will take other people's shares. If he just changes his family, even if Ah Zheng's life is worse, how can he not make it? How dare he fight this time? This kind of idea is also to poke people's spine, but you yourself are in vain, alas!" Dashun really felt sorry for Zhang Xiaoliu, only hated that he was not there at that time, otherwise he only talked about his voice, when Ah Zheng came to Zhang's house He was very clear about what happened, so he didn't need Xiaoliu to say anything.
"It's okay. When they say it's boring, they will stop naturally." Zhang Xiaoliu is quite open-minded about other people's criticisms. When there is a new topic, who will remember this.
"Since all the great uncles of the Zhao family have spoken, Ah Zheng's uncle will probably visit your house tonight. You have to be careful when the time comes, and don't say that you will spare them."
"Well, I'll be careful, there's nothing to talk about now." Zhang Xiaoliu actually didn't want to see someone from Zhao Datian's family come to the door again, what's the use of a soft-spoken apology?
Dashun talked to him for another half an hour, from how to be careful when talking with adults, don’t let the garrulous learn to spread rumors, how to take good care of the crops in the field, to the time when the weather is good for going up the mountain to pick some Chaicao left after seeing that Zhang Xiaoliu's expression was normal.
Zhang Xiaoliu watched him leave before going back to the house to see his two younger brothers.He had heard the sound of them getting up just now, probably because he and Dashun were talking at the door, but they didn't come out.
"Brother." Sure enough, Xiaosong was already playing on the bed when he entered, and Mai Mai was refolding the scattered clothes beside him.
He went in and hugged Xiaosong to the ground, went next door to fetch water and wrung out a wet towel.
"Come on, Mai, wipe the ointment off your face."
"I'll do it myself." Seeing that he was about to wipe his face, Mai Mai shyly took the towel in his hand.In my memory, my elder brother was always very busy, working with my father, and later looking for food for them everywhere.So he not only has to take care of himself, but also takes good care of his younger brother, and he is very unaccustomed to his brother's behavior.
"It's okay, it will be fine soon." Zhang Xiaoliu didn't let go, and covered his face with a towel when he raised his face, feeling that the ointment on his face was already wet, so he wiped it lightly.
When I looked at it again, there was no layer of light blue ointment, and the scar returned to its original red color.Although it was not a serious injury, it was noticeable enough on the face.
"Brother, don't worry, you'll be fine soon." Seeing Zhang Xiaoliu's unhappy expression, Mai Mai comforted him in turn.
There was only a small bronze mirror at home, and he hadn't seen himself yet, so he was obviously just trying to comfort his brother.Zhang Xiaoliu smiled at him, and only hoped that the child's healing ability would be better, and the marks left behind would disappear by then.
In the afternoon, he was not in the mood to go out to work. Thinking that the two children were frightened, Zhang Xiaoliu simply found out the leftover flour at home and kneaded it to make steamed stuffed buns.At this time, there is no ready-made yeast for making buns, so it is more difficult to make the dough rise.Fortunately, he thought of it early on. First, scald a small piece of dough with boiling water and put it on the table to ferment naturally. Will post soon.
The other three people had never seen this thing being made, and they were both curious and reluctant to touch the dough that looked very clean, so they gathered around to watch.
"Come on, help me knead the dough, I'm going to make stuffing." Zhang Xiaoliu asked them to wash their hands, and simply handed over the kneading work to Mai Mai and Zhao Zhengze.They were all stronger than him, and they kneaded more flexibly.As for the stuffing, there is no meat at home, so we can only use old sesame seeds and frosting sugar to stir together.
Zhang Xiaoliu had no experience in making buns before, so he realized that it looked simple, but it was not easy to wrap it well.He just said that he closed his mouth at the last step, and he couldn't squeeze it together, let alone make the pattern on the market.But except for Xiaosong, the other two are better than him in their craftsmanship, and they can get started after doing two or three.
The steamed buns that were steamed in the evening were not very successful. I don’t know if it was not fermented enough or the flour was wrong. In the end, the steamed buns were soft and slumped, just like the buns made during the sacrifice. They were not as fluffy as the buns at all, and there were many gaps. mouthed.Even so, the novelty supper managed to please the two children.
When Zhao Datian came to the door, Zhang Xiaoliu and his younger brothers were ready to go to bed.He didn't like him very much at first, and he just wanted Zhao Zhengze to deal with it. The apology from the left and right family was not sincere, and it was perfunctory to say that he forgave.I just thought that this is Ah Zheng's uncle after all, and asking him to face it would only make him more embarrassed.Now he has fallen out with his uncle's family, and he will not help him in the future, but I don't know if he feels good or not.
When Zhao Datian came back this time, he was carrying eighteen hard-boiled eggs, a small bag of caramel for coaxing the children, and two strings of six copper coins hanging from red strings.Eggs are boiled in water tied in a circle with vines behind the house. In the middle of the night, such eggs are rolled on the forehead to call names, and the eggs are eaten after dawn. This is the local prescription here for children who are frightened.A red rope is strung with copper coins for auspiciousness, and the money inside is more or less used as an apology.If a child gets into trouble at someone else's house, or loses a fight, the parents will bring these two things to the door.As for other things, it depends on the economic strength and sincerity of the other party.
Zhang Xiaoliu had not been here for a long time, so he didn't know much about these things. He only glanced at the things he handed over, but didn't take them.
When Zhao Datian came back at noon, Qing You invited his uncle to beat him for a meal, and he went to prepare these things in the afternoon. At this time, he did not dare to show the majesty of his elders, and his voice was not natural: "Ah Guang and Ah Guang are at noon today. Qing has done too much, please don't take it to heart, brother Liu, and forgive them this time."
"Don't dare to be, Uncle Zhao is right, it's just children fighting, how can Uncle Zhao be so polite?" Zhang Xiaoliu deliberately emphasized on the word "children", really wanting to see the difference between sixteen and seventeen-year-olds and three-year-olds. People who are compared to children have no shame.
Zhao Datian's face was obviously thinner than Uncle Zhao's, and his expression was a little unnatural after hearing his words. He walked a few steps and put the things on the stove, and said: "They already knew they were wrong, and they were punished. Now they are still staying in the ancestral hall, since Xiaomai and Xiaosong are fine, please don’t worry about it anymore.”
Zhang Xiaoliu didn't expect him to say anything at first, but when he heard the judgment of "since it's all right", he still almost couldn't control his temper.
"Since they are all right? Where did Uncle Zhao hear that they are all right? The wound on Mai Mai's face, I don't know how long it will take to heal!" He chuckled and said maliciously: "You probably don't care about our children. Now, but you have to be careful about giving your child to a kidnapper, everyone in the village has heard it, if someone loses a child in the future, won't it be easy to make people suspicious?"
The children who grew up in the fields are crazy about playing, and the adults don’t have much time to watch. Over the years, Xiaba Village has lost many children, so now many children play at the big banyan tree, or go up the mountain and down the field. Warned not to go into the village alone.
Zhao Datian's complexion changed drastically. If such words spread, if a child is lost in the village in the future, even if there is no evidence, people will have to gossip behind his back.No wonder the uncle asked him to ask the two children to stop talking nonsense when he was admonishing him. It turned out that there was such a reason.
"How is it possible? The two of them are talking nonsense, I will definitely teach you a lesson when I go back, and please brother Liu don't say that..."
Zhang Xiaoliu snorted, at least dozens of people heard it at the time, so why should he say it?Looking at the figure of Zhao Datian leaving in a panic, he finally felt the bad breath in his chest come out.
"Dashun, are you here?" Since coming here, Dashun has been the most frequent visitor.Zhang Xiaoliu recognized his voice and got out of bed to meet him.
Dashun looked anxious, saw him come out, walked up to hold his arm and touched it up and down, then said reproachfully: "You child, why don't you call me if you have something to do? It's useless to be bullied Let's go! Where are Mai Mai and Xiao Song? Are you scared?"
