70s Xiao Que Xing

Chapter 335

"If you want to work and don't want to eat free food, just clean the bowls and chopsticks for me first." Zhang Chunping answered directly.

"I remember that Xiang Hong and I haven't made up the bed yet. Xiang Hong didn't sleep well yesterday and made the bed a mess. I'll go and get out of bed first!" After speaking, He Hongmei hurried back to the room.

"Whoever sleeps dishonestly, you will depend on me if you are doing well." He Xianghong said dissatisfied.

But He Hongmei ignored her at all and hurried back to the house.

"Don't pay attention to her, let's pack up and leave quickly, so she won't rely on us later!" Zhang Chunping whispered.

But when they finished packing and were about to go out, He Hongmei, who was always paying attention, opened the door and said loudly: "There is still me, I will go with you!"

"If you want to go up the mountain, go by yourself, don't follow us!" Zhang Chunping said impatiently.

"I don't know the place where I'm born. If I don't follow you, who will I follow? If something happens to me on the mountain, it's up to you to explain to my second uncle!" The more Zhang Chunping resisted, the more He Hongmei felt that Zhang Chunping was hiding tricks, and she didn't want to let her know.

In this case, she will follow even more.

Seeing that she couldn't get rid of He Hongmei no matter what, Zhang Chunping had to lead her to Xiao Nian's house first.

Xie Xiaonian looked at He Hongmei who was following, and didn't say anything else. After greeting everyone to enter the house, Xie Xiaonian said: "You guys sit down, I haven't finished washing the dishes yet, we will go up the mountain after the dishes are finished."

"I'll brush it for you, so hurry up!" Zhang Chunping quickly found an excuse and followed Xiao Nian to the kitchen.

"Xiao Nian, what should I do, she is like a brown candy, I can't get rid of her!" Zhang Chunping complained irritably.

"If you can't get rid of it, let her follow!"

"But Xiaoshan'ao can't let her know, or the whole compound will know!" Zhang Chunping interjected disapprovingly.

"Wait for me to finish, I'll ask Apple to send a letter to Shuqin's sister-in-law and the others later, telling them to go to the small mountain col. Let's not go today, and take your niece to the nearby hills for a stroll. This time Make her tired, she will definitely not follow next time, but we may not gain much this time." Xie Xiaonian explained.

"Okay, just do as you said. It's fine if you don't get much this time. Anyway, there are still a lot there. It's the same if you go again in the future, but you will be troubled. When I come back to the woods next time, I will ask him to give you more." You pick some wild goods and come back!" Zhang Chunping continued.

"I'm fine. I usually have nothing to do at home. I just got a basket when I find time. Now there's a lot of piles at home. You only have this chance once a week, so you can't afford to miss it!" Xie Xiaonian continued.

"Hey, there's nothing I can do. I can only wait for the woods to come back and run two more times. This He Hongmei will really make me mess up." Zhang Chunping said with emotion.

After Heping finished reporting the letter to Wu Shuqin and the others, Xie Xiaonian and Zhang Chunping sat at home for another half an hour. It is estimated that after Wu Shuqin and the others went up the mountain, a group of them would go out.

Because they had fewer adults and more children, Xie Xiaonian was carrying the pancakes, Zhang Chunping was carrying Lingling, He Hongmei was forced to carry the slightly older He Junqiang, and Xiang Hong was the smallest onion.

"Xiao Nian, how can we get the mountain goods home later, the child can carry enough!" Zhang Chunping whispered to Xiao Nian on the road.

"It's okay. When Pingguo was leaving just now, sister-in-law Shuqin said that she would pick us up in the evening."

"That's good, that's good." Zhang Chunping said happily.

After arriving on the mountain, Xie Xiaonian found a more suitable seat and said to Zhang Chunping, "Sister-in-law, let's find it near here."

"Okay, I think there are quite a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms here, so it's in this area. You don't need to go up, and it's not convenient to bring children." Zhang Chunping agreed.

Miss Xie put the pancakes on the ground, and after she carried the green onion into the red basket, she started walking with the others, looking for things like mushrooms, fungus, chestnuts, and walnuts.

Because they led a group of children, it was not easy to carry things on their backs all the time, so they gathered the things they got together, packed them in cloth bags, and put them on the ground. When Shuqin's sister-in-law and the others came, they helped transport them down the mountain.

"Second aunt, where did you pick the pears, grapes, and apples you got last time? Why didn't I even see any shadows after searching for a long time." He Hongmei said impatiently after searching for a while.

"You think those things are like wild vegetables, and they are all over the mountains and plains. If they are so easy to find, people in the compound will not stop eating fruits every day. We were lucky to encounter them last time, how can they be like this every time?" Good luck." Zhang Cuiping said after rolling her eyes.

"That's right, Hongmei, it's hard to find fruit now. It's getting cold here quickly. It's getting colder now. How can there be any fruit? There are quite a lot of chestnuts and walnuts. You might as well find more if you have time." These snacks taste no worse than fruits. And this can also help your second aunt relieve some burden, so that they have snacks to eat in winter, things like chestnuts can sometimes be eaten as meals, and can also save money. The rations at home are not." Xie Xiaonian also continued.

"What? I thought you knew where there were apple trees and pear trees. I didn't expect you to find them by chance. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come. I'm so tired, so I might as well rest at home." He Hongmei Said complaining.

"Didn't you say that you don't want to eat free food, but you want to go up the mountain to help sweep the goods? It turns out that these are all fake. You went up the mountain to find fruits. I said why are you suddenly so kind and want to help the family?" Zhang Chunping said suddenly. .

At this moment, she was even more sure that it was correct not to take He Hongmei to Xiaoshanao.

"All I eat is earned by my second uncle. I am his niece. Shouldn't I eat his food? What is free food?" He Hongmei stopped working at this time, sat down on the open space next to her, and said as a matter of course .

"Okay, all you eat is your second uncle's, then you can wait for your second uncle to come back and deliver food to you. Now I buy everything at home with my own salary. You still have it after noon. Don't eat my cooking." Zhang Chunping said bluntly.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Chunping didn't bother to pay attention to He Hongmei, and led the children to the side with Xie Xiaonian, out of sight and out of mind.

But she wanted to get rid of He Hongmei, He Hongmei was determined to cling to them and dared not act alone.

She didn't know if there was any danger on this mountain. Even if there was any conflict with Zhang Chunping, she would follow them closely.

As for lunch, she was not worried. In order to prevent her from making a storm in the courtyard and affecting her second uncle's future, Zhang Chunping dared not deny her food.

It was impossible for her to work.

When it was almost noon, Xie Xiaonian and Zhang Chunping found a relatively flat and open space, where they planned to have lunch and take a rest.

Although the food that Zhang Chunping cooks now is quite delicious, but for eating on the mountain, the food she brings with her is still a few dry steamed buns with mixed noodles and a lunch box of pickles, which is not fancy.

In order not to arouse other people's suspicion, Xie Xiaonian also brought mixed noodles steamed buns and pickles for herself, but the children were still young, and she couldn't bear to let the children eat dry steamed buns, so she made some rice balls for the children in the morning.

"Sister Chunping, don't bake steamed buns for Xiang Hong and the others, I'm bringing their rice balls, let them come and eat." Xie Xiaonian said while wiping the children's hands.

"Eat it yourself, how can you eat your food all the time." Zhang Chunping said with some embarrassment.

The children in her family never stopped eating when they visited Xiao Nian's house, how could they still eat their rice.

"It's okay, why are you being polite to me? I originally prepared for these children, but if you say it, there is nothing to eat." Xie Xiaonian said jokingly.

After finishing speaking, Xie Xiaonian called the three children to him, handed one of the lunch boxes to Xiang Hong's hand, and said, "Take it and eat it with your brothers and sisters, and come over to ask for it after you finish eating, Auntie still has more! "

"Xiao Nian, I think the rice balls are still hot now, how did you do that?" Zhang Chunping asked in surprise.

"It's very simple. After I finished cooking in the morning, I put the lunch box into the quilt I brought and wrapped it so that it can keep warm." Xie Xiaonian pointed to the quilt in the back basket and explained.

"That's a good idea. I'll do the same next time, so I don't need to bring dry steamed buns." Zhang Chunping nodded.

"I want to have dinner too!" He Hongmei interrupted suddenly.

"What kind of rice balls do you eat? You are a child and you still have merit. You still want to eat rice balls! It really annoys me, you can't even eat Zamian steamed buns!" Zhang Chunping said coldly.

"It's not the rice balls you made, what kind of family are you? Xiao Nian hasn't spoken yet! Xiao Nian, Xiang Hong and I are of the same generation, and they can be considered as juniors, and I think you still have a lot of rice balls. , give me some too." He Hongmei turned to Xie Xiaonian and said.

"I'm sorry, Hongmei, the rice balls I brought are enough for a few children to eat at noon and mid-afternoon, there is nothing extra, don't you see that I also want to eat mixed noodles steamed buns and pickles, really no I can give it to you. And although you are a junior, you are still an adult, you should eat steamed buns with us!" Xie Xiaonian said awkwardly.

Not to mention that the rice balls that Xie Xiaonian brought were not redundant, even if there were many rice balls she had prepared for Xiaotong and the others in the space, she didn't want to give them to He Hongmei. eat.

It's fine at home, she can still supplement some other food for the children, but if it's like this outside, Xie Xiaonian doesn't want to fulfill her wish.

"What kind of extra meals do children have in the middle of the afternoon? Three meals a day are enough. The children in our village only eat two meals a day! Just give me the extra meal for pancakes." He Hongmei said without giving up.
