Chapter 131 Liu Baoer Comes to Visit
"Grandpa, did you go to Grandpa Zhao to drink again? I've told you hundreds of times not to go to Grandpa Zhao to drink, but you just wouldn't listen. You're old, and you still drink so much, it's not good for your health, why don't you believe it?" When Liu Baoer saw her grandfather walk into the yard, she hurried out to help the old man in.
"Xin'er, you're here! Is school on holiday?" the old man said as soon as he saw Yi Ke.
Liu Baoer giggled: "How is it? Look, even my grandfather thought you were Xin'er's cousin."
"What are you talking about? I'm not so old and blind that I can't recognize people. Isn't this Xin'er?"
"Grandpa, you really recognized the wrong person this time. This is a mistake. My new sister is not Xin'er's cousin."
"Is this true? But why do they look so alike? Could it be the child of your aunt's relative? Otherwise, why do they look so alike?"
"We don't know either. We'll know next time when my aunt comes to ask." Liu Baoer helped the old man sit on the armchair next to the square table and poured him a cup of boiled water.
"Hello, Grandpa!" Yike stood up and helped the old man sit down.
"Okay, little girl, you can go home and ask your parents to see if you are related. You look so alike."
"Okay." Yi Ke answered obediently.
"Grandpa, Yi Ke is learning how to make wine. Can you give the wine jars in the cellar to Yi Ke?"
"Yike likes to make wine. Have you ever made wine before?"
"I used to make wine." I haven't made wine in this life, but I did in my previous life, so it shouldn't be considered a lie. Why do I feel a little uneasy?
"What kind of wine do you want to brew now?"
"I want to try making rice wine first, and then sorghum wine."
"Rice wine. Rice is a very precious commodity. Aren't you afraid of wasting it?"
"Don't worry, distiller's grains can be used to feed pigs. Besides, I am confident that I won't brew too much at the beginning. I will brew more after I become proficient. When I succeed, I will send it to you for your grandfather to taste and give me advice.
"Okay, that's good. Let me make a deal first, girl. I can give you the wine jar. From now on, every time you brew new wine, you have to give me half a pound to taste."
"Okay, I'll be responsible for the wine grandpa wants to drink from now on."
"Baoer, go and get the yellowed book from the innermost part of the bedside table in my room.
Liu Baoer quickly took the notebook back and gave it to his grandfather. The old man slowly opened it and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles on the notebook.
Liu Baoer and Yike both looked at the old man silently, not understanding what was so precious about that old notebook.
After a while, the old man held the notebook in both hands, called Yike to come forward, and solemnly placed the notebook in Yike's hands.
"Girl, this book is for you. It contains not only my grandfather's experience in brewing wine, but also my father's experience in brewing wine. It's a pity that I was ignorant when I was young and didn't learn brewing wine from my father. Now I want the younger generation to learn, but there is no condition. It's hard to make a living, how can there be extra food to waste on learning. It's rare that you are willing to learn brewing wine, so I give this to you, just as a gift from grandpa to his goddaughter, and it won't bury this book."
Yi Ke was so shocked that he was at a loss. He waved his hands and said, "Grandpa, this is too valuable. I can't accept it. You should keep it for the younger generation. You must believe that life will get better and better in the future. There will be more food than you can eat. When you learn to brew wine, you will have plenty of food. So you should keep it!"
"Why? Grandpa's tattered notebook, how can it be valuable? I believe the good day you mentioned will come, but it has nothing to do with my gift of the notebook. If you recognize me as your grandpa, then accept it. Otherwise, I won't give it to you because you are so well behaved. Take it away quickly and sit down. Don't stand in front of me and get in the way. You were so well behaved just now, but now you don't listen to your grandpa."
"Yike, take it! Grandpa said he would give it to you, so just take it. This thing is useless in our house. It will only be useful if I give it to you."
"Okay! Thank you, Grandpa! I'll take it back and copy a copy, and I'll return the book to you later. After all, this is something that belonged to your father, and you should keep it as a souvenir."
"Whatever, it's yours now. You can do whatever you want with it. You little girls, have fun. I'm going to take a rest. Baoer, remember to ask someone to bring up the two wine jars.
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll help you."
"No need, Grandpa's arms and legs are still flexible."
"Then I'll go call someone. But please sit down for a while, I'll be back soon."
Soon, Liu Baoer called two young men. The young man went to the cellar and brought up the wine jar from Liu Baoer's mouth, and was dumbfounded. This so-called wine jar should actually be called a wine vat. This wine jar has a big belly and a small mouth, and can hold at least 500 kilograms of wine. Liu Baoer actually said it was a wine jar. I should have refused to take it if I had known this. These two wine jars are worth a lot of money, and this one is a bit too big. What should I do?
"Sister Baoer, this is too big and too expensive. Can I buy it for thirty yuan?"
"What? Buy? If you say that again, I'll get angry. Be careful or I'll spank you."
Yike quickly took a step back and said nothing. This sister seemed a bit fierce, so he should stay away from her. well! Just take advantage of the bargain. At worst, you can get more canned meat later.
After Yike made up his mind, he followed Liu Baoer obediently.
We had lunch at Liu Baoer's house, and met Liu Baoer's father, a middle-aged man who looked like a cadre and was wearing a Zhongshan suit. The whole family had the same look in their eyes. When Liu Baoer's father saw Yi Ke, he called her Xin'er. Then Liu Baoer laughed happily beside him.
After an awkward self-introduction, Liu Bao's father, Liu Yuhao, finally said that when he returned to work he would call Bao'er's aunt to see if there was such a relative. In fact, Yike really wanted to stop them from asking, she really didn't want another family to come and recognize each other. What if it is another family that favors boys over girls? It would be better not to have such a family. But seeing how enthusiastic Baoer's family was, she didn't want to pour cold water on them.
In fact, Liu Baoer's family is quite harmonious, and none of the family members have the idea of favoring boys over girls. Liu Baoer has two brothers who are in the army, and one sister married in Beijing, who was introduced by her aunt. Liu Baoer was very dissatisfied because her sister had married far away and it was difficult for them to meet.
Baoer was making a big fuss at that time. Baoer's mother said that Baoer cried for a week and became very thin. Baoer's sister was so scared that she almost decided not to get married. In the end, it was her aunt who sent Xin'er to accompany her, and only then did Sister Liu Baoer feel at ease to get married. Xin'er stayed with Liu Baoer at their home for half a year before going back. Yi Ke asked Liu Baoer how old she was at that time, and was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when he learned that she was thirteen.
However, it can also be seen that living in such a family is actually quite happy. Being a relative of such a family, the person's character should not be too bad. However, he secretly hoped that Liu Baoer's aunt might be the one he thought. well! Contradictory woman.
In the afternoon, Liu Baoer got on the ox cart to Yike's house as she wished. The ox cart pulled two big jars and two beautiful girls into the village, and it was hard not to attract attention.
Look, the men and women working in the fields all stopped what they were doing and looked at them. The men were staring at the beautiful girl Liu Baoer. But she was a married woman, so no one was staring at her. Even the thick-skinned Baoer girl blushed because of those hot eyes.
The aunties were paying attention to the two large wine jars. The auntie asked, "Ziyi's wife, why did you buy such a big jar? Are you making pickles? How many vegetables will it take?"
Some aunties were jealous, "What a spendthrift woman! Her husband works hard in the fields, but she wastes money on this broken jar. She can't eat anything, so why buy such a big jar? I wouldn't even want a daughter-in-law like this. She's ruining the family."
"I haven't ruined your family, so why should you worry about it? Even if you want to ruin your family, you have to have a way to do it." Someone who didn't get along with the woman said.
Yi Ke didn't hear the conversation between the aunties in the field. She was urging the uncle driving the cattle to move faster. She was too embarrassed to receive so many people's attention.
After arriving home, Yike took the bicycle off first, and then together with the coachman and Baoer, they moved the three wine jars off the car and carried them into the yard.
After moving down the other things he had bought, Yike paid 80 cents for the fare. The honest driver returned 30 cents, saying that he didn't need that much and 50 cents would be enough. Yi Ke still stuffed another dime into his pocket to thank him for helping with the moving.
"Then next time if you need a cart, tell Baoer to come find me." The coachman said naively, then drove away in the ox cart.
"Yike, this is your home. It's new. I didn't expect your home is so nice."
"This was built after the last flood. My uncle paid for it and helped build it."
"Your uncle is so good to you!"
"Well, my uncle injured his leg on the battlefield and has difficulty walking. Ziyi usually takes care of him. This time Ziyi came back to work, so his father and mother went to help take care of him."
"Then you and your wife are the only ones at home now. Am I here at a bad time?"
"Of course not! No way! It will be more lively if you come. You don't know that we are strangers here and don't have any friends to play with."
"That's true. After all, you haven't moved here long. But it will get better slowly. I heard that farmers are very simple and honest."
"Most of them are good, but there have been some bad ones." The silly girl was afraid of being deceived, so she told the story about the aunt who brought her child to her house to take advantage of her when she first moved in.
Liu Baoer was stunned when she heard this. This was completely different from the simple and honest image her parents had described. One thing to do is to tell her to be more careful in the future and not to trust others blindly.
Ziyi came back from work and heard a guest coming while he was working. He thought it was Yike's sister, but he didn't expect to see the big-faced girl when he entered the door.
He was very unhappy. When they first met, the girl scolded him, saying that his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes, and that she always wanted to monopolize him. Now, he has chased her home and is here to snatch the thing from him again.
"Ziyi, this is Sister Baoer, the one from the supply and marketing cooperative in town, who we met that time." Yike reached out to take the carrying pole from Ziyi's hand, but he stepped aside and went to hang the carrying pole behind the door himself.
"Why is she here? Did she follow me?"
"No, I invited her here. We are sisters now."
"Don't you have a sister? Why do you want to recognize her? It's troublesome!"
"Hey! Brother-in-law, do you hate me so much? I don't seem to have offended you. Why are you so dissatisfied? I am here to see my sister, not you. Don't think that you can bully her just because no one comes to see my sister. Let me tell you, I will come to see her more often in the future. If I know that you are bullying her, I will never let you off easily." Liu Baoer waved her little fist and said demonstratively.
Ziyi was furious: "Who bullied her? Who? How dare he!"
Yi Ke: “…”
Liu Baoer:? ? ?
