Chapter 8

At about ten o'clock, Liuya didn't want to do any more sewing, so she said she was going to stew fish for Baya.Siya was also a master who couldn't sit still, seeing that Liuya didn't need to do needlework, she looked at Liuya helplessly, seeing how pitiful she was, so Liuya kindly ordered her to light the fire and asked her to help her light the fire.

Seeing that Liuya had ordered her, Siya was very happy and left her needle and thread, and went to the stove house with Liuya.Yesterday, I was so angry with Mrs. Song and Zhang for ordering fish. Today I want to get some sauerkraut, but I'm afraid it won't work.

However, today's fish soup is not for her to eat, even if the taste is a little bit worse, old man Song probably won't mind.Liuya cooked the old man Song first, and then asked Siya to set up a small fire to stew fish soup for Baya.

After the stew is finished, feed it to Yaya again.In this way, the time will be much faster.

When it was time for lunch, Song's second child and fourth child hadn't come back yet.Most of the people who go into the mountains to hunt are going for a day.So the two brothers of the Song family didn't come back, and no one cared.Old man Song just asked Mr. He to keep the corn paste for the two of them to eat when they came back.

After lunch, before resting for a while, Mrs. He has invited several daughters to go back to the house to do needlework.Now when Liu Ya heard the word "sewing", her scalp began to tingle.Sitting with them for two hours this morning was already her limit.In the afternoon she really didn't want to do it anymore, but she couldn't find a good excuse.

When Liuya was really worried, she heard someone calling Siya outside.Si Ya heard someone calling and ran out immediately.Seeing her like that, Liuya might be as afraid of sewing as she is.

"Big sister, what do you want me for?" Si Ya went out and saw that it was Big Sister Zhang from the village, and asked quickly.

"Wait a minute, my sister, me, and Meizi are going to dig the ears. Let me ask you if you want to go?" Sister Zhang asked with a smile.

"Go, we're going. Big sister, remember to call us when you leave later." Before Siya agreed, Liuya had already agreed.

"That's all right, I'll call you after dinner." After finishing speaking, Big Sister Zhang went home.

Back in the house, Siya told the eldest sister why she came.Mrs. He knew that these two daughters didn't like sewing, so she had no choice but to let them go.

Now Siya and Liuya are happy.Not only can you get rid of hard work, but you can also go out and dig out the ears.This folded ear root is a good thing, and Liuya loves it the most.She used to dig often when she was young, but when she grew up, she went out to work. Whenever the zhe ergen came out, she would buy some back every time she bought vegetables, and served them cold.Those sold in the vegetable market are artificially bred, and there are wild ones that are delicious.

Thinking of being able to eat Zhe Ergen again, Liu Ya couldn't help but drool again.Seeing this, everyone laughed at her for being delicious.But Liuya didn't care. Isn't this life just about food, clothing, housing and transportation?
After about a quarter of an hour, sister Zhang and her younger sister came and shouted.Siya and Liuya took the basket and the sickle, and rushed out to meet Zhang Damei and the others.

The four of them went to Meizi's house together to call Meizi.Meizi had been waiting a long time ago, and when she saw them coming, she greeted the adults in the room and came out.

"Big sister, where do we go to dig?" Siya asked immediately when she saw that everyone was here.

"Go digging on the ridge of the field in the stone house. As long as we don't dig up the ridge of his house, he won't say anything in the house." Sister Zhang said.

Don't think it's easy to dig and fold the ear roots, but it's also very particular.The root of the fold ear usually grows on the ridge of the field, or in the soil.For example, some people don’t want others to dig in their fields or soil. They are afraid that children who are not sensible will dig up the fields or trample the crops to death.

However, as long as you are sensible and don't waste the crops, most people will allow you to dig, but there are special ones, such as Song Zhang, if she sees someone digging ears on the Song family's field, she will definitely scold them.Therefore, no one dared to go to Song's house to dig except his own family.

And the Shitou family that Zhang Damei said is a relatively easy-to-talk family. As long as you don't get crops or anything, his family won't say anything.

Soon, the five people came to the field ridge in the stone house that Zhang Damei mentioned. This was the first time that the children in the village came out to dig, so there were more ears.

The five of them took out the sickle from the basket and started digging.The root of the folded ear root is the most delicious, but in order not to dig up the ridge of the field, everyone dare not go deep.The deeper you dig, the more tender this root will be.

Big Sister Zhang is more cheerful and can talk to anyone.And her younger sister, Xiaomei, is more introverted, and they just smile when they see Liuya.And the other plum, just like the younger sister, is very introverted.

After a while, sister Zhang chatted with Si Ya. "Siya, my mother is going to the market tomorrow, and I am going too, will you go?"

Si Ya looked at the eldest sister enviously, "You don't know my family yet, how could my mother-in-law let us go to the market with you?" Every time someone in the family went to the market, Si Ya would clamor to go.But Song and Zhang always sulk and refuse to go.

"Why don't you go? Father and fourth uncle are going hunting today. Tomorrow, I will definitely go to the town. Anyway, I am going." Liuya said confidently. She has been here for so long and has never left the village.It is the twelfth lunar month now, and there is nothing to do at home.Kaichun's family is going to be busy again, and there is no chance.

"Father listens to mother-in-law. If mother-in-law doesn't allow it, father will definitely not let us go." Seeing Liu Ya's confident expression, Siya couldn't help pouring cold water on her.

"Father won't let me go, I have long legs, so I don't know how to go." Liuya said indifferently.She's not really a child, and it's hard to miss her after the set.

Big Sister Zhang looked at Liuya adoringly. "Liuya, you are really amazing. I have grown up so much, I have never gone to the market alone." Then he said with a worried face, "Liuya, my mother said that there are many kidnappers now, and little people like us Children are easily targeted by kidnappers."

As soon as I heard it, I knew it was a trick for adults to lie to children, but Liuya didn't tell the truth, but just smiled and said: "I'm just joking, so how dare you go alone." Be sure to pay attention, you must follow Song Lao Er to the town to see tomorrow.

"No matter what, I'm still going to try tonight. If my father agrees to take me there, I'll tell you." At this time, Si Ya had already been aroused to go to the town.

"By the way, Meizi, I heard that your mother is pregnant, is it true?" Seeing that Meizi was sullen and did not speak, Liuya hurriedly asked.

"That's right, it's been two months. My father doesn't let my mother do any work recently. My father does it all by himself." Mei Zi smiled shyly.

It is well known in the village that Mei Zi's father loves her mother, and now that Mei Zi's mother is pregnant, one can imagine what it is like.Thinking of Meizi's father's nervous appearance, everyone laughed.Afterwards, everyone concentrated on digging the roots of their ears, and didn't say much.
