Farmer's daughter is also self-improvement

Chapter 3
The houses here are very weird, they are all made of tenon joints. The houses are not airtight, but there are actually large gaps between the eaves and the walls.The roof of my house is all thatched, and there is no problem when the weather is sunny, but if it is rainy and rainy, it will leak a little.

The threshold is also much higher than usual. At the beginning, Li Shasha never remembered that she would have a big fall when she reached the threshold.There is no fence in the yard, and there is a large flat in front of the house, and the muddy ground is actually very flat. It is said that this is the place where grain is dried every year.

There is a large open space in the backyard, and there is no courtyard wall. It is only against the mountain, and no one can come down, so it can be regarded as a courtyard wall.There is an empty wooden pigsty in the corner of the mountain, which is probably where the pigs used to be raised.

Li Shasha's house and Li Rongrong's house are connected together, that is, where the two families are connected, they share a wooden wall, and the backyard is only separated by a wooden fence.

Li Shasha's family has only three rooms, one big room has two beds, one big and one small. The big one belongs to Wang and Li Shasha, and the small bed belongs to Li Yulan.The remaining room is the stove room, where we cook and eat.A shed was set up outside the stove house to store firewood.

Li Shasha hadn't gone out for half a month, and it would be nice if she could run around the grounds, so she followed Li Xianzhi around the grounds twice.Not long after, Li Yulan called the two of them to have dinner with the room, and Li Xianzhi led his sister back to the kitchen.

There were several bowls on the dining table, again sweet potato and corn porridge, two plates of pickles and a plate of red chopped peppers.Although Li Shasha was a northerner in her previous life, she liked spicy food.It's just that her sick parents won't let her eat it, but she has always been greedy for chili peppers. After coming here, she eats chili peppers every day.It can be regarded as a long-cherished wish fulfilled.

Wait, why did you see the golden scrambled eggs.Seeing Li Shasha's gaze resting on the scrambled eggs on the plate, Li Xianzhi said with a smile: "Hey, my brother found a bird's nest on a tree today, and he took out five or six bird eggs. Although it is not as big as an egg, it is always You can try something new!"

Li Shasha thought, no wonder there were no chickens at home, so how could there be eggs? They were scrambled eggs.That's not bad, I've lived for more than 20 years in my previous life and I haven't eaten scrambled eggs.

Li Yulan heard a voice sticking out her head from behind the stove and said to the siblings: "Sister Sha and Brother Zhi can eat after washing their hands! Your grandma is outside, so you can go too." Li Yulan turned 12 years old, it is In the stage of transition from a child to a girl, the figure is a little more graceful, the skin is as fair as porcelain, and a pair of big talking eyes are bony and bone-like, making them look very cute.

The brothers and sisters answered yes in unison, and went outside, and sure enough, they saw Mrs. Wang washing her hands with a water ladle.In fact, Mrs. Wang is not old. In her 40s, she looks fair and clean. Even after spending half a day in the sun today, she is only slightly reddened.With beautiful features, she really doesn't look like a village woman.I don't know if there is something wrong with my cheap grandpa's eyes, such a beautiful beauty can be ignored for more than ten years.

The two called grandma in unison, and Mrs. Wang looked at her grandson and granddaughter lovingly and said, "You are hungry, wash your hands quickly and eat!"

Li Shasha is very grateful to the person who set the rules of washing hands, she can't eat without washing hands.Nowadays, there are so many particularities in the countryside. No other family has the rule of washing hands before eating and after going to the toilet like theirs.

When eating, everyone put the eggs into Li Shasha's bowl.Li Shasha was not so hungry after drinking the water in the mysterious space, and put the bird eggs in the bowl into Li Xianzhi's bowl: "Brother worked hard in the field today, eat more!" Li Xianzhi put the bird eggs in the bowl again. In her bowl: "Grandma, you are the hardest, you should use more." Seeing that the brothers and sisters are so sensible, tears welled up in Wang's eyes: "They are all good children, eat more, and sister Lan, you too When you grow your body, you should eat more."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was about to cry again, Li Shasha interrupted and said, "Everyone smell it, this bird's egg is a little different from an egg, at least it smells more fishy than an egg." Everyone held up their rice bowls and smelled it, Sure enough, this smell is much stronger than the fishy smell of eggs, so let's talk about it.

The whole family was having a peaceful lunch, when they heard a commotion outside, and a mean voice roared: "Ah! There is an egg thief who stole eggs and killed the whole family!"

Everyone looked out inexplicably, and the voice was getting closer and closer.A dark, skinny woman in her 20s appeared at the door. Li Shasha saw that it was Hou Shi, the daughter-in-law of Li Zongguang next door.

Hou rushed to their dining table with a pair of hanging eyebrows, and saw the scrambled eggs on the plate.He was even more furious, reached out to pick up the plate of scrambled eggs and threw it on the ground: "I let you eat our eggs, and the thieves in the house will not let the dogs eat them, but you shameless thieves will not eat them! "

Mrs. Wang was trembling with anger: "Daughter-in-law Zongguang, what do you mean?" Ah! The little thief who raised this house, I have been related to your family after eight lifetimes of misfortune." Hou roared angrily.

In an instant, a large circle of watching villagers surrounded the door of the house, pointing at the inside.Wang made Hou point at her angrily and didn't say a word for a long time. Li Yulan also had an honest character and just supported Wang and wept silently.

Seeing that his second aunt came to bully his family again, Li Xianzhi rushed forward to beat Hou.But after all, he was just a child less than eight years old, and when he rushed in front of her, Hou shoved him to the ground.He also scolded viciously: "Little thief, you still want to beat someone, let's see if I don't kick you to death."

After speaking, she raised her leg and wanted to kick Li Xianzhi, but Li Shasha hurried over and grabbed Hou Shi's clothes and said in a clear child's voice, "Second Aunt, what's going on, please tell me clearly, don't come up and just curse and beat people."

Hou turned around and picked up Li Shasha's back collar: "Who is your second aunt? You family is a shameless thief who steals my eggs. Aren't you afraid of being gutted?"

When Mrs. Wang saw her granddaughter being held by Mrs. Hou, her face turned red, and she rushed forward recklessly: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, how could you treat Sister Sha like this, she is also your niece after all!"

Said that he hugged Li Shasha's leg and was about to snatch her over. How could Hou make her wish so easily, so he grabbed the collar of his collar and refused to let go.She is a good hand at farm work, and her hand strength is much stronger than Wang's.Seeing that she couldn't grab it, Li Yulan also ran over to help.

Li Shasha almost couldn't catch her breath because of the fight between the two sides, and she was very annoyed that she was only six years old.The people around outside couldn't see it, and they all said that Hou shouldn't be like this.The one who spoke the loudest was Zhusheng's daughter-in-law who lived below. She was famous for her loud voice and big mouth in the village.

She yelled: "Daughter-in-law Zongguang, if you keep tearing it up, Sister Sha will die." Hou shouted to the outside without looking back: "Daughter-in-law Zhusheng, don't meddle in your own business, it's my mother's business!" It's not your turn to intervene." Zhu Sheng's daughter-in-law was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to come in to help.

While tugging, a thick male voice shouted: "Zong Guang's daughter-in-law, what are you doing?" Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Li Dehai who had come over.Li Dehai was in his early fifties, and his figure was very burly, but his waist was still straight, giving people a feeling of peace of mind.

Mrs. Wang put down Li Shasha's legs lightly, ran over and cried, "Uncle is here, but he has to make decisions for our family!"I just said in my heart, my good grandma, you should finish what you have to say.

Seeing that it was Li Dehai, Mrs. Hou loosened Li Shasha's hand, ran over and said, "Uncle, this family is a nest of thieves. My well-raised chickens managed to lay a few eggs. Let this family steal it and fry it to eat, you judge, is there such a shame? If I knew they were such kind of people, I shouldn’t have let them build a house next to our house. "

As soon as Li Shasha got her freedom, she ran to Li Dehai and tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Grandpa, we all eat well at home, but my second aunt smashed my dishes indiscriminately, and even slandered us for stealing her eggs. "

Hou ran to smash the dish and picked up a handful of eggs to show Li Dehai: "Uncle, look, what are these eggs? My chickens can collect seven or eight eggs at this time of the day. I went to dig it out today, but there was nothing left. Who in this village doesn’t know that the old thief can’t handle these things. The family didn’t raise a single chicken, and the rice couldn’t even be eaten. Where can I get eggs? .”

Li Shasha retorted: "Second aunt, what I eat at home is not eggs but bird eggs. You smell that egg, it's more fishy than eggs."

Hou stared at her with hanging eyes, and grinned her big mouth showing yellow teeth: "Not only is the family a thief, but also raised a little liar, what a disgrace to the old Li family!"

Li Dehai yelled at Hou Shi: "Hou Shi, you yelled before you figured it out. Why is she also your third aunt, you don't respect her as an aunt, but insult her instead, is that right?"

"Uncle, you're really good at playing sideways, isn't it true that Third Aunt treats you well, and you treat her unusually!" Another strange voice sounded from outside.Everyone looked back again, it turned out that it was Li Zongguang who came, probably because he was afraid that his wife would suffer, so he ran over to build momentum.

Li Dehai made him tremble with anger at the hidden meaning in these two sentences, pointed at Li Zongguang and said, "Zongguang, what do you mean?" My third uncle is not at home, so you have to help my third uncle take good care of my third aunt!" Li Zongguang continued to speak sinisterly, and when the crowd outside heard his words, a buzz of discussion erupted.

Li Shasha saw it, and understood that Li Zongguang wanted to use words to suppress Li Dehai, so that he would not interfere in the affairs of the two families.She ran back to the stove, searched around, and finally saw the pile of bird egg shells in a corner.She stepped forward and picked up a larger eggshell from inside and ran back to the door.

Li Shasha raised the eggshell high and shouted to Li Dehai: "Grandpa, look, is this an eggshell?" Li Dehai took the eggshell and looked at it, the surface of the eggshell was striped and there were many small spots. It is indeed very different from eggs.

As I was watching, I realized that someone was pulling my sleeve. I looked down and saw that it was Li Lingling, my granddaughter. Li Lingling was about eight years old, very thin and dark, but with a pair of big eyes that were clever.She held a few eggs in her hand: "Grandpa, look, I picked them up in the grass nest in the bamboo forest. Are they eggs from the second grandpa's house?"
