Chapter 5 She's Not Stupid
In summer, the vegetables grown at home can also be eaten, and Mrs. Sun often takes a few small ones to sell vegetables.Because of the tax reduction, the farmers’ fields are all planted with food. There are not many vegetables like her, and she has a complete range of vegetables. Every kind of juicy vegetables is placed in bundles. The first time she gets it in the town, she can always sell a lot of it. If she can't sell it, she takes it home to eat by herself or give it to others.

The rabbits and pheasants at home have also been fattened up, and Mrs. Sun sells one from time to time.The hens raised also started to lay eggs every day, thanks to Jin Hua's diligence and frequent mowing of grass and catching insects to feed them.Although Sun's field work is not very familiar, she is good at raising chickens and pigs. When she went around collecting pigs with her father, she listened to her father's guidance on raising them to prevent diseases, so she also learned some, some poultry and livestock She can also cure her ailments and give birth to pigs.In this way, even though there is no land, life at home has gradually improved.

Of course, the family can only eat one egg every few days, and the others have to be sold in exchange for food. Last year’s age was bad and there were wars everywhere, so the price of food has not been low. Ah Zhu didn’t see flour at home until autumn. The rest of the day they ate brown rice.The chickens and rabbits raised at home cannot be eaten by themselves, but they can be caught outside.In summer, Ah Jin would go to the river with the village children to fish in the evening, and he could find one every few days.

However, the most common meat in summer is not fish, but snake. Mrs. Sun is a master at catching snakes, and once caught two snakes as thick as forearms, one female and one male.When I went to sell the snake, there were many people around to watch it. Mrs. Sun took it out in a hurry and let others pick it, which made the onlookers sigh.The two snakes were sold for a good price, and a bowl of pork rarely appeared on their table that day, and they ate a dry meal. Of course, Ah Zhu, who was less than ten months old, could only drink rice soup.Mrs. Sun also bought the knives she had wanted for a long time, so she finally didn't have to worry about making a living.

With such a capable mother, and two elder sisters who are more sensible than her peers, Zhuhua also feels at ease and takes good care of her baby. She eats and sleeps every day, and her only worry is that she can't eat meat.

Just when Ah Zhu thought about eating meat every day, she turned one year old.Mrs. Sun invited Aunt Li and Uncle Li to have a meal.There are a lot of dishes on the table, including wine, meat, dumplings, and chicken. Although Azhu has drank a little chicken soup before, according to the custom here, the first step of eating meat as a baby is to eat chicken combs or lick the head of a goose. It's impossible to kill it just for her, but the cockscomb is still possible.Although she wanted to eat chicken thighs more than chicken combs, it would be nice to have meat.

She bit the first piece of meat in her life with her little baby teeth, waved her little hands happily, and her eyes widened with excitement, making everyone laugh.

"Your Ah Zhu is really good, I have never seen her cry."

"Azhu never cries, but Amu's sister cries all the time, it's annoying." Ayin hurriedly said.

The Amu she was talking about was a boy in the village. Amu's family had just given birth to a girl, and she cried all day long, so much that Amu didn't want to go home.

Sun's complexion changed, and she immediately smiled and said nothing.Aunt Li saw something, and didn't ask on the spot. She only asked a few days later when she was chatting with Mrs. Sun about making clothes.

"Do you have something on your mind? I don't see you being happy that Ah Zhu is so obedient."

Sun stopped what she was doing and sighed, "Didn't bandits search the mountain when this child was born? At that time, I was afraid that her crying would attract people, so I covered her mouth, causing her to pass out. After waking up, I have never seen her cry again, and she usually only screams, and she doesn't respond to Ah Yin teaching her to speak. Cousin, do you think she is a fool?"

Ah Zhu, who was lying on the bed, just laughed out loud. She didn't want to scare them by speaking too early, so why would she be taken for a fool.

"Nonsense, I think she looks very smart. It doesn't matter if the baby speaks late, and there are some who can't speak until they are two years old. Why are you so anxious? With such an easy-to-carry baby, you still worry about this and that, you Just be content."

"No, Azhu is a monster..." Mrs. Sun didn't know how to tell her cousin, and then remembered something, "I bought a bag of vegetable seeds from the town in the beginning of spring, and I had other things on hand. I put the vegetable seeds on the cabinet, and I forgot about it when I turned around. At that time, I searched the house for a long time but couldn’t find it. Later, Ah Yin said it was on the cabinet. I asked her how she knew, and she said it was my sister. Keep staring at the cabinet to see what she guesses."

"Then she's pretty smart, isn't she?"

"What are you smart about? I thought it was just a coincidence, so I asked her jokingly. You know that whenever someone talks to her, Azhu, she will definitely stare at them, and she will be happy no matter what they say." I laughed a few times. But when I asked her that time, she turned her head and refused to look at people. Do you think it’s weird?”

Aunt Li didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only say, "Maybe she's smarter than ordinary kids?"

"But she doesn't talk now, and she doesn't like to move. When Ah Yin was her age, he crawled all over the yard, and Ah Jin couldn't catch up with her."

She didn't even eat enough, so she didn't have the strength to crawl, and she couldn't keep her strength if she didn't move.

"I think you still think too much. This baby is only one year old. What can you tell?"

Hearing what she said, the doubts in Sun's heart did not dissipate, but there was no other way but to look again.

Azhu, who was just quietly listening to them, was already thinking about how to convince them that she was not stupid.It's a pity that the elder sister in the family didn't tell her that she stopped teaching her because she teased her, and she couldn't find the time to speak.Soon, she waited for an opportunity.

One day, Jinhua took her two younger sisters to the village to play.Ah Hua at the head of the village gave birth to several puppies, yes, the bitch who milked Ah Zhu gave birth again.A Hua's owner, Lao Huang, knew it was born, but he didn't know where it was born. It wasn't until a month later that he came out for a walk with a bunch of puppies and found its nest in the woods.When the children in the village heard about it, they all came to see the newborn pup, but Ah Hua was so fierce that no one was allowed to approach him.

When Jinhua and Yinhua heard about it, they brought their younger sisters to see it. When the children next to her saw Zhuhua, they joked, "Azhu, look at your nanny giving birth to a litter of younger brothers and sisters."

Zhuhua gave the child a fierce look, and raised her fleshy little fist.I don't know if it's because her aura is naturally strong, but the child even took a few steps back, only daring to shout at her from a distance.She didn't realize that Jin Hua, who was holding her, also stared at the baby.

Zhuhua was getting impatient when she heard the boy shout again: "Azhu, look quickly, your nurse is here, she is here to nurse you again."

As she said that, Zhuhua saw that Ahua really came running over, and surrounded the three sisters to smell it.Jinhua had come out with Zhuhua in her arms before, and Ah Hua was always very affectionate to them.Seeing that it didn't look like it was about to bite, Jinhua put Zhuhua down, and now A'hua was even happier, and licked around her until Zhuhua had nothing to love, but her sisters were also happy. straight smile.Soon, the puppies also ran over to watch the excitement, Zhuhua watched the five puppies in black, white and black and white circle around her, she didn't mind Ah Hua's saliva, instead she squatted down and looked at each of them touched.A'hua didn't bark either, and happily watched from the side, wagging her tail.

The villagers on the other side of the road screamed in surprise. You must know that Ah Hua has been very fierce these days. When others get close to the puppy, it barks fiercely, but now it is willing to let Zhuhua touch it.After touching it, Zhuhua hugged a white puppy with black spots inside, and said childishly, "Little Hua."

Yinhua was touching another puppy by the side. Who doesn't love the newborn puppy? Didn't you see that the children next to her were greedy, but when they got close to Ahua, they made low growls? , they will be fine if they touch it.Yinhua was proud of herself, she didn't pay attention to what Zhuhua said, the more she looked at it, the more she felt the puppy was cute, and she wished she could take one home.Jin Hua, who was helping A Zhu to stand, heard Zhu Hua's words, and she was stunned for a moment in disbelief.

"Xiaohua." Zhuhua said it again, and then she picked up the puppy she had chosen and strode home. Her feet were lifted off the ground by Jin Hua, and Jin Hua has found that it is easier to carry her home than to bend down to help her home.

So when they got home, Sun saw Zhuhua hugging a black and white puppy from behind, and Jinhua hugging her from behind.

"Little flower, raise it!"

"Mom, Ah Hua of Grandpa Huang's family has given birth to five puppies, and my younger sister wants to raise one." Yinhua who followed all the way hurriedly said.

Jin Hua also nodded in agreement, looking at Mrs. Sun with piercing eyes.

Sun frowned, and asked the question she wanted to know the most, "Ah Zhu, can she speak?"

Jinhua and Yinhua glanced at each other, and Yinhua walked around to Zhuhua with a "Yeah" and said flatteringly, "Third Sister, quickly call me Second Sister."

"Second Sister." Ah Zhu called out the practiced address easily, and then looked at Sun, "Mother, Xiao Hua, raise her!"

"Okay, let's raise it." Mrs. Sun agreed with a smile, hugged Zhuhua tightly into her arms, and said to Jinhua who came to tease her younger sister: "Go pick a rabbit for your Grandpa Huang's house, and call it a puppy." A thank you gift from the dog milk."

Jin Hua originally wanted to wait for her sister to call her before going, but then realized that they didn't say anything to Grandpa Huang when they came back with the puppy, so she agreed and went to pick a fat rabbit and ran out.
