Eldest Sister, Why Haven’t You Married Yet

Chapter 3: Wild garlic and eggs

Views:

The Yue family has a lot of things to do. The eldest family, Xiao Chen, relies on the fact that he is the niece of the old Chen family. In addition, his two sons are very popular with the old man and the old lady. Don't do it.

Although the Han family of the third room is not like the old Chen family, but she is also very tough, and she is determined not to touch the work that is not hers, and the Han family does not have a few days in Cuifeng Village all year round. , so there are only two groups working in turn, and the work that the big house has pushed down falls on Young Jin and others.

Standing in the doorway of the main room, I watched the younger sisters Young Jin and Young Yin forcefully carry a bucket of pig food, and said with a vile look at the excitement: "You Jin Young Silver, you have to be careful, this pig food can be eaten. They are all fed to pigs, and the New Year will be a few months away. Now is the time to raise fat, if you sprinkle pig food..." The meaning of not being finished is very obvious, and at the end, "Hehehehe "He covered his lips and chuckled a few times.

Young Jin looked at her as if she was watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal, and said coldly: "If auntie said that, she would feed the pigs herself, so as not to be afraid that our sisters would spill the pig food, so we talk to each other like this. Grandma is not easy to explain."

As soon as Youjin finished speaking, Old Chen scolded coldly from behind the main room window: "I'm afraid that others won't know you've done some work, right? If you eat so much every day, it's better to feed pigs than to feed you! In addition to knowing that eating is talking back to adults, he is really a loser from the backcountry, and the daughter he taught is so annoying!" This is Su Shi, who was lying on the bed to have a miscarriage, and scolded him.

"Mummy, the second siblings were raised on the bed because of the fetal gas. If you say that, if the family doesn't listen to it well, what should you do to the Jin Sun who abuses you!" Dry, it can be said to be handy.

When it comes to this old Chen Shi, he gets angry: "It's just a money-losing thing that only lays wicked eggs, and can give birth to a fart grandson. After giving birth to seven in a row, it is a money-losing thing that loses money!" This is to turn over The old accounts started to make trouble.

When Youyin heard them scolding her mother like this, she felt a little resentful, and was stopped by Youngjin just as she was about to say something. Young Jin grabbed her sister's sleeve and gave her a wink to tell her not to argue with the two shrews. Seeing that Young Yin closed her mouth and did not speak, Young Jin released her, then poured the remaining pig food in the bucket into the pig trough, carried the empty bucket back to the kitchen, and carried herself on his back. Usually, he came out with the back basket that went up the mountain to hunt hogweed: "Milk, auntie, I'm going to hunt hogweed."

"Oh, that's a lot of hard work for the young gold. It's all to blame for the aunt's good morning and night, but she twisted her hand the day before yesterday, thank you for your hard work!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, and turned around and said that The sprained arm and neck looked seriously injured.

"Eat mine and use mine, how hard can it be to fight a pig! A loser!" The old Chen's reluctant voice came from behind the window. Youjin's eyelids were half low, so that people couldn't see what she was thinking, she explained to Youyin a few words, and then went up the mountain alone.

***

Cuifeng Village is backed by Cuifeng Mountain. The village is divided into two parts by the Cuifeng River that winds down from Cuifeng Mountain. The village is also named after the Cuifeng Mountain behind the village.

The Yue family where Youjin lives lives on the east side of the river in Cuifeng Village. Most of the people in the village live in the east of the river. Therefore, Youjin walked out of the Yuejia yard and walked in the village, following the villagers who were sitting on the roadside and under the banyan tree all the way. greet.

"You Jin, the sun is so poisonous at noon, why are you still going up the mountain?" The woman sitting under the banyan tree enjoying the coolness while gossiping and doing some needlework saw You Jin and asked with a smile.

"Third uncle, I'll go get some pig grass and come back, otherwise the pigs at home will starve at night." Young Jin smiled and answered the old woman who asked her.

The third uncle looked at the big sun and sighed deeply. They also knew the situation of the Yue family. Thinking of the most rogue and pompous old Chen in the Yue family, the third uncle didn't say much, only said: "The sun is shining, you should pay more attention."

"I know, third uncle, then I'll go first!" After Young Jin said goodbye to her with a smile, she walked up the mountain. In fact, many villagers in ancient times were very kind and simple. Although they were poor, many of them might not have enough to eat, but there were not many families like theirs, but it was also possible that she did not have enough food. I don't know if I was born in someone else's house.

It is noon now, and there are naturally many fewer people who go up the mountain to pick wild fruits and hunt hogweed. When I walked to the foot of Cuifeng Mountain, I couldn't see anyone else.

Youjin picked some branches and braided a straw hat and put it on her head to block the sun. She walked along the sheep intestines trail that the villagers had been walking out for a long time. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, she came to the deep mountain of Cuifeng Mountain. boundary.

The main peak of Cuifeng Mountain is about 1,340 meters high, and the continuous mountain range is at least several kilometers long. There are also various birds and beasts on the mountain. Although Young Jin was a soldier in his previous life, but with such a young and malnourished body that he didn't even have tools in his hands, it was a lifeless act to break into this deep mountain and old forest.

Young Jin is not so stupid, but today, in order to dig a bird's nest for a few girls and find a few eggs to go back to make up her body, she ventured to the border of the deep mountain where ordinary villagers dare not come.

After kicking off a branch with a thickness of two fingers and breaking off the ends of the side branches, Young Jin took the stick in his hand as a tool to open the way.

Now it is early September, and the golden autumn season is when the pheasants and hares are the fattest. Young Jin naturally has mastered the basic field survival skills of putting rabbits and pheasants, but he can't deal with the pheasants and hares when they go back. Afraid that Chen's and others would take it away, Young Jin would just look for some wild eggs and bird eggs to give to a few younger sisters to eat secretly. Occasionally, after roasting a pheasant and hare on the mountain, I would bring it back to satisfy a few sisters.

However, the old Chen family and others are all at home today, so Young Jin can't be hunted and brought back, so he can only concentrate on finding mountain eggs or bird eggs.

Xu is because there are fewer villagers at the border of the deep mountain, but Young Jin found two nests of bird eggs and one nest of wild eggs without much effort. Looking at the basket with seventeen or eight eggs in total, Young Jin found an open place and lit a fire with the flint he brought with him, and then put the newly obtained eggs and bird eggs into the fire to bake. . Then, while the eggs were being baked, a basket of hogweed was filled nearby.

Sitting next to the fire where only some red charcoal remained, Youngkin sat on the ground, and then took the stick in his hand to sweep the nearby weeds and shrubs to pass the time, but inadvertently saw a large piece of wild garlic next to him. .

Seeing a more familiar species, Young Jin walked over curiously, then pulled out a few and took a closer look. It was indeed wild garlic. The garlic sprouts seem a little petite. In this unknown time and space, garlic has not yet become popular. It grows recklessly on the roadside in the mountains. In addition, the taste of raw garlic is very strong, and everyone regards it as a weed.

"Wild garlic..." Young Jin remembered the sour garlic sprouts that he once cooked with his cousin at a distant cousin's house. When he had no appetite, he ate a few cloves of garlic, which was very refreshing and appetizing. He sighed: "It's a pity that I can't get enough to eat now. Where can I still eat sour garlic sprouts?" After saying that, he threw the wild garlic sprouts in his hand, but I remembered this place, and I don't need it now, and said Maybe it will be used later

Picked a few large leaves and packed the baked eggs finely, and then pressed them to the bottom of the basket to hide. After hiding the eggs, Young Jin looked at it carefully for a few more times, and then went home with the basket on his back after he felt that there was no problem.

When I got home, it was already in the afternoon, and it was not yet the harvest season. The Yue family members also thought it was too hot outside, so they all took a nap in their rooms. You Jin quietly pushed open the courtyard door, found the silence in the house, and breathed a sigh of relief. After coming in, he turned around and closed the courtyard door. When he turned around again, he saw Xiao Chen's third son, Yue Wenwei, squinting a pair of triangular eyes and looking at him maliciously.

You Jin was shocked, but calmed down quickly: "What's wrong with looking at me like this?"

Yue Wenwei looked at her ignorant look, and snorted, "Did you hide it?" He seemed to smell an egg, and intuitively told himself that this bitch must be hiding. Don't tell yourself, "If you are sensible, take out the eggs quickly, or I will tell the nurse that you stole the eggs from the family."

Listening to this big fat man who only knew how to eat and bully a few younger sisters, You Jin narrowed his eyes coldly: "What evidence do you have that I stole the eggs from the family?" He took a deep breath to suppress his heart and wanted to fan him The urge to slap.

Who would have expected her to act like a thief in Yue Wenwei's eyes, so he shouted loudly, "I'll count to three, if you don't take out the eggs, I'll go call for milk!"

However, Young Jin didn't want to do this at all, and let him act like a fox and a tiger. Seeing that she looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, Yue Wenwei rushed into the main room: "Milk! That bitch Yue Youjin stole your eggs!" Yue Youjin in the middle, see if she dares to be so arrogant!

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen was the most stingy person. As soon as she heard her precious grandson shouting that someone was stealing her eggs, she jumped up from the kang: "This bitch is getting more and more daring, Dare to steal my mother's eggs, my mother won't be surnamed Chen if I don't beat her to death today!" After a while, he rushed out with the bamboo weaving under the main hall corridor: "Where did you steal all the eggs! You lose money. A bitch who has no mother to teach her, and dares to steal from her mother! I have to beat you to death today!"

"I didn't steal the eggs." Yue Youjin stood upright in the middle of the yard, looking at the old Chen. "The number of eggs in the milk is fixed. Go to count the milk yourself to see if there are any? Or go to the west wing to find it. See if there are any shadows of eggs."

"You lose money, and you dare to speak stubbornly when you steal something. If I don't beat you to death today, you won't know the interests of my mother!" The old Chen swung the bamboo whip and came at the young gold.

Young Jin naturally wouldn't just stand there stupidly waiting for her to strike, and flexibly dodged Old Chen's whip with all his strength just a second before the whip fell on him. The old Chen didn't hit anyone, and he almost fell a dog and gnawed at the mud, and was even more angry: "You bitch, how dare you hide? You can dodge today if you have the ability!" After that, he waved Bamboo whip came over.

Who would have guessed that Young Jin had another flash: "I didn't steal anything, why should I be beaten?"

Now it is the quiet time of the lunch break, so the Yue Family Compound is so lively and naturally it quickly attracts the villagers from the neighbors to watch the lively.

Seeing that this bitch dared to contradict him in front of the villagers, Mrs. Chen was even more angry: "Didn't steal anything? Wen Wei saw you stealing eggs, you still don't admit it?"

"Why do I have to admit to something I haven't done?" Young Jin stood aside coldly and looked at the panting Chen Shi, "Could it be that this is a trick?" Young Jin naturally saw that he was lying on the wall watching the excitement. The villagers also saw Young Yin who had stopped a few younger sisters abruptly.

A young student who watched the fun said: "Yes, old aunt, Young Jin said she didn't steal, maybe she made a mistake?"
