Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 47
While the two were talking, the courtyard door slowly opened, and Huzi peeked in.

"Azhu, have you finished eating? I'll come to play with you." He said, and glanced into the living room. He also shouldered the task assigned by his mother to keep an eye on his father and tell him to drink less. .But immediately he forgot about it.Curiously squatting in front of the grill, he asked, "Where do you barbecue?"

"Yes, it will take a long time to eat. You should try it too." She signaled Qiu Yun to come over.

"No, no, I've eaten it." Huzi waved his hands again and again, but couldn't help swallowing, the meat was so delicious.

"It's okay, just have a taste."

After Zhuhua had said this, Huzi took the meat from Qiuyun and dropped a few pieces in one bite.It was so fragrant, a little spicy and had a special aroma. He had never eaten such delicious meat.

"Eat it slowly, there is chili powder on it, so you don't choke on it." Zhuhua reminded.

"En." Huzi replied vaguely, and glanced outside the courtyard gate.In fact, when he came, he was seen by several other children in the village. They thought he was looking for Zhuhua to play, so they followed him.Now he was eating meat inside, and he didn't say anything to them, so he wondered if they were still waiting outside?
"What's wrong?" Zhuhua followed his gaze and glanced at the gate, but didn't see anyone else there.

"Goudan and the others are here, saying they want to play together?"

"Playing at this late hour?" The child was too energetic.

"It's okay, it's Chinese New Year, adults won't scold you." If you usually play outside so late at night, you will probably be beaten when you go home, but now during the Chinese New Year, adults teach children a lesson, and even the men in the family drink less. sentence.

Zhuhua heard that there is a custom in this village that children are not allowed to beat or scold children on the seventh day of the first month, but if the child goes crazy, it will be miserable after the seventh day.After counting the days, today is the seventh day of the lunar new year. Zhuhua took a sympathetic look at Huzi and said, "Why don't you go out and have a look, if they are still there, give them some barbecue. If you want to play, you can play by yourself , I’m tired today, so I won’t play.”

"Okay." Huzi went outside with a plate of meat, and came back with an empty plate after a while, and said, "They all said it was delicious. We are going to play catch people, Ah Zhu, are you sure you don't want to go? "

"No, you guys go." Zhuhua said seriously, and said, "Be careful, don't fall at night."

"No, then I'm leaving." Huzi ran out as soon as he finished speaking, forgetting to watch his father drink less.

That night, Hu Zi's father didn't come home until midnight, and his mother-in-law would inevitably roll her eyes a few times.As for Huzi, he fell while playing catch, and broke his new pants, which he had only worn for a few days, and also lost a front tooth.For the sake of seeing the front teeth, Hu Ziniang didn't scold him, but she didn't tell him that the missing front teeth would grow again in the future, making Hu Zi think that he would be missing a tooth in the future, and cried sadly all night.

When Zhuhua woke up in the morning, several children came to play with her at home, and they also told her about the tiger's tooth loss.As soon as Zhuhua heard this, she drank breakfast in twos and went to Huzi's house to see him, but she refused to admit that she came to see the joke on purpose.Compared with the children in the village, Zhuhua was a late riser. When she followed the children to Huzi's house, Huzi's mother was just about to go out and saw some children who usually played with Huzi and a clean-dressed Daisy. The little girl with the safflower came over, and immediately guessed that the little girl was the little lady from Zhuangzi.

"Auntie, is Huzi awake?" one of the children asked.

"I woke up early and I'm staying in the house."

"Does his tooth still hurt?"

"It hurts, I have been crying all night." Hu Ziniang said loudly on purpose.

"No." Huzi replied loudly in the room.

Hu Ziniang ignored him, went back to the kitchen and poured a glass of sugar water for Zhuhua, "Miss, you drink water, I'll call Hu Zi out."

"Thank you, auntie." Zhuhua took the sugar water with a guilty conscience. She was the only one with so many children, and she was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the other children were not envious, as if Zhuhua should drink this sugar water.Hu Ziniang went in and didn't come out for a while. Some children couldn't wait and poked their heads in. As a result, the black dog inside backed out when the black dog called him.Fortunately, Huziniang pulled out Huzi who didn't want to see anyone, Zhuhua gave him a malicious look, and asked curiously, "Brother Huzi, what's wrong with your eyes?"

"Crying." Hu Ziniang answered enthusiastically to help him.

"Does it hurt so much?" Zhuhua looked at him sympathetically, hiding her smile through narrowed eyes.

"It doesn't hurt, it's because you said that if you don't grow up, you will become a little old man..." Hu Zi was so angry that his face flushed, and after speaking loudly, he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth.

"You don't even have your front teeth now, so you're just a little old man." Hu Ziniang said unceremoniously, not afraid of hurting the child's self-esteem.Thinking that she still had things to do, she stepped forward and said to Zhuhua in a friendly voice: "Miss, let Huzi take you to play, and he will be the one who knows how to play in the village. I still have things to do, so I went to work."

Zhuhua smiled and nodded, and waited until Hu Ziniang walked away with the basket, then turned her head and waved to Hu Zi standing in the yard, "Hu Zi, have all your teeth fallen out, can you still eat meat? "

Huzi walked to the door in embarrassment, and with a sigh of relief, he opened his mouth to let them see enough, "I lost one, and it was shaking a few days ago. My father said that it will grow again after it is lost. "

"Will it really grow? What if it doesn't grow?" Zhuhua asked pretending to be worried.

"It will be long, it will definitely be long."

"But some grandpas don't grow teeth without teeth."

"They won't grow when they're old, and I'm not old yet."

"It's the president. My brother also dropped it before, but it grew out later." Another child inside said.

Huzi vaguely remembered that other older children in the village had also lost their teeth, and now he was not afraid, nor worried about being watched, and no longer concealed his words.

"Azhu, what do you want to play today?"

"I'll just come over to see you. I'm going to roast lamb at home today, so I have to watch it at home, and I can't come out to play." Zhuhua immediately found a reason for herself, she didn't want to play with them.

"Is it baked like yesterday?" Hu Zi sucked in his saliva and said.

Zhuhua nodded, "Maybe there are other things to bake. My sister will go hunting in the mountains in the afternoon, and if there are rabbits, I can also roast."

Huzi rolled his eyes and said, "Then can my rabbits go to your house to roast? I'll chop firewood for you."

"It can be grilled, but the meat needs to be marinated overnight to be delicious."

"Can you teach me how to marinate? I can bake it at home after marinating."

"I don't know either. Aunt Li is the one who marinated it." However, she said on the side how to mix the seasonings.Zhuhua didn't want to talk about this, so she casually pointed to the other two mountains behind the village, "Why don't you go hunting to these two mountains?"

"One mountain has a lot of cemeteries, and the other one is too short and has no prey."

"Is there anyone farming on the mountain?"

Hu Zi shook his head, "No one is planting, saying that there are too many stones in the field, so it is not easy to plant."

"But the tree is growing well?" Zhuhua looked around and said.

"Yes, there is also a persimmon tree, but it's not tasty, it's too nasty."

Zhuhua asked some more questions, and secretly came up with an idea.
