"Uncle, we've finished the work, and it looks like it's lunch time now. How about we pack up and go down the mountain for dinner?"
Sun Kui came over and asked Lao Suntou for instructions.
Old Suntou looked around, and the mountain wind blew the old man's gray beard.
His eyes fell on the tomb in front of him for the last time, and he nodded slowly twice.
"Okay, then go back!"
The second son of Sun Kui's family was about to step forward to help pack up the offerings, but was stopped by Yang Ruoqing.
"There's no need to clean it up, just leave it here."
"Ah? Bowl, don't you want the bowl too?"
"Put them all together here."
The second son of Sun Kui's family scratched his head and almost swallowed his saliva when he looked at the more than twenty small bowls on the ground and the tempting food in the small bowls.
He originally thought that after the offerings were laid out, he would take them back. Lao Suntou and Yang Ruoqing would definitely not be able to take them back to Changping Village, so wouldn't they just stay in Sunjiagou?
When the time comes, let the mother, sister-in-law, and daughter-in-law go into the pot to heat it up and put it all together. Then it will be a big pot full of it?
There are sour, spicy, sweet, and there are also snacks!
Now, the other party didn't take it away, but even left the bowl. This...isn't it too extravagant?
The eldest son of Sun Kui's family pulled his brother aside and said to him: "Listen to your cousin, whatever your cousin says will be done!"
The second son saw the warning in his brother's eyes, and he came to his senses, nodded and stepped aside.
As for Sun Kui and the others, they naturally wouldn't say much.
If people are not so hungry, who would eat the offerings at the tomb?
It's better to put it in the mountains and fields, or let the food spoil on its own, or it will be cheaper for the little beasts in the nearby mountains and forests.
I wonder which little beasts have this blessing?
But this is not what Sun Kui cares about most. What he cares about most now is to go back and see off Lao Suntou and Yang Ruoqing. He wants to gather the whole family to catch fish fry by the stream in the mountains.
There is no need to buy fry from outside the mountains when you make your own fish fry, so there is almost no cost.
The income from rice flower fish in a year can allow the family to live a life without worries about food and clothing, giving them hope and motivation!
The soldiers are divided into two directions, and the words are divided into two ends.
Let’s talk about Changping Village.
Xiaojie happened to take the children back to her parents' house to play for two days.
Xiaojie's daughter is seven or eight years old, and her second child is a son, who is over three years old.
As soon as the two siblings arrived at Grandma Ga's house, they liked to go to the pig farm to look at the pigs.
However, their father Zhang Ban often told Xiaojie that even if adults were present, the children could only look at the pigs through the wooden fence, and they must not be allowed to enter the pig pen to play alone.
Pigs are omnivorous animals, and they are also intelligent. They will eat any kind of meat when they are very hungry, and they will not refuse anyone who comes!
So at the moment, Mrs. Sun was feeding pigs in the pig pen, and Xiao Jie was helping her, leaving the two children to play outside the fence.
The mother and daughter were chatting with each other, mainly because the eldest Sun was asking Xiaojie about the house in the county.
Zhang Ban will go to the county academy to teach in the second half of the year after the autumn harvest. At that time, Xiaojie will take her two children to the county town for a reunion of husband and wife.
The Zhang family's parents continued to stay in their hometown town, so Xiaojie took the children back to her parents' house to walk around when she had time before going to the county town.
After I went to the county seat in the second half of the year, it would be a little difficult to come back.
After learning from Da Sun that her grandfather and cousin had gone to Sunjiagou, Xiaojie also had a look of yearning on her face.
"Speaking of Sunjiagou, that was the place where I grew up when I was a child. Unfortunately, I moved out later, and my memory of it is very vague." Xiaojie said.
What really impressed her deeply was Changping Village.
Because when she came to Changping Village, she was a few years younger than her current daughter.
As usual, Mrs. Sun was holding a long-handled iron ladle in her hand to maintain the Peppa Pig's eating order. When she heard Xiaojie's emotion, she smiled indifferently.
"Hey, what's the matter? Wherever your parents were when you were a child, that's your home."
"When you get married, wherever your man and your children are, that's your home. You can't do this or that."
Xiaojie smiled, thinking that what her mother said seemed to make sense.
Now if she was asked to move back to Sunjiagou alone, or if she was asked to live alone in Changping Village, she would definitely not do it.
Even though there are currently no conditions to buy a house with a yard in Wanghai County, and she can only temporarily rent a house in Wanghai County for the next two years, in Xiaojie's eyes, the place where Zhang Ban and her two children live is her home.
"Mom, why can my cousin have such a bizarre dream, but why can't I?"
"Logically speaking, I am my grandma's biological granddaughter, and my cousin is my granddaughter. A slap in the face will separate me!"
Speaking of this, Xiaojie's tone even contained a bit of childish jealousy.
Da Sun laughed a few times and said, "Let me tell you this, in your grandma's mind, Da An and Xiao An are grandsons, and they are behind you and your brother."
"But your cousin Qing'er is different. Your grandma and your father don't regard her as a granddaughter!"
When Mrs. Sun said this, she paused for a moment and glanced at Xiaojie, perhaps realizing that it was not a good idea to say this.
So he then added: "But having said that, people's hearts change people's hearts. Just what your cousin Qing'er did for your grandma and grandma is not what a granddaughter can do!"
"Grandchildren may not be able to do it! So it is reasonable for your grandparents to love your cousin Qing'er!"
Xiaojie smiled, "Mom, please be at ease. I'm just joking with you here. How can I be jealous of Sister Qing'er?"
"If I am jealous of her, then my grandma will scold me to death. I am too ignorant!"
"If you say that, Mom will feel relieved!"
"Mom, I brought a lot of snacks from the county to Tuan Tuan Yuan Yuan, and I will deliver them to them later."
"Who is that...have you brought your aunt's snacks?" asked Da Sun.
Xiaojie: "Of course I brought it with me. What's wrong, mother?"
"How many did you bring?" Da Sun asked again.
"There are as many snacks as cousin Qing'er's house. Each family has six kilograms of dim sum, three flavors, two kilograms of each flavor."
"What's wrong, mother?"
"Well, cut off half of your aunt's snacks and send the rest to your sister-in-law's family!"
"Ah? Isn't this... bad? If my aunt finds out, she will be upset..."
"Hmph, if you can bring a few pieces to her family, it's considered a favor. What else do you want?" Mrs. Sun was very dissatisfied with this.
"If they act the way her family does, we won't even have to give them a piece of cake!"
The eldest Sun has a vengeful temperament. This reminds me of the last time Tuan Yuan got sick, Cao Bamei was so frightened that she looked like she was avoiding snakes and scorpions!
"Besides, your uncle is in the county town all year round. He can bring snacks whenever he comes home. Your uncle's children will have something to eat!"
