"Little Jia is here!" A male voice sounded.
The one who spoke was my uncle. He was not tall, less than 1.7 meters, a little fat, small eyes, and thick lips. He inherited more from my grandfather and looked 50% like him. He was wearing a dark green robe that was folded over his lapels as he walked towards me.
"Come, let's see if there are any fruits that you like to eat!”His uncle said enthusiastically.
My uncle and eldest uncle both look like grandpa, my mother looks more like grandma, and I heard that my second uncle, whom I have never seen before, is the best child in the family and looks more like grandma.
"Uncle, what fruits do you have? Aren't you going to the yamen today?" I replied.
"I'm taking turns off today. Look, the fruits are all on the table!”Uncle brought me to the table.
"Hello, Grandma and Grandpa Liu! Hello, Uncle Liu!" I greeted the old man at the table.
"Alright, alright." the old man and the old lady replied. They were a pair of simple old men.
"Come, let's see if there are any fruits that you like to eat!”Uncle Liu said kindly. He was a bookish and shrewd person.
I looked at the fruits on the table. There were bananas, pears, peaches, and grapes. There were quite a lot of varieties and quantities. The most common ones were bananas. There were a few peaches and grapes. Perhaps these two fruits were expensive!
I looked up at the others. The children were staring at the fruits but didn't make any noise. They were all waiting quietly at the side. The adults weren't staring at the fruits. Some were chatting and some were working.
"I want to eat peaches." I picked a fruit I liked and said.
"Okay, I'll wash it for you later! Go play at the side first and eat after washing up!”A woman's voice sounded behind me. She turned around and saw that it was my aunt. She was wearing a snake bun with a peony flower pinned on it. She looked very lively and beautiful. She wore a sky-blue dress and a water-blue shirt. Her facial features were straight, her eyes were bright, her nose was straight, and her lips were red. However, she was fat. She looked to be 180 pounds. Perhaps it was because she had gained weight after giving birth. She should have been very beautiful when she was young. Otherwise, my uncle wouldn't have chased after her and begged her to marry her!
"Okay, thank you, Auntie!" I happily agreed.
"Mother, I want to eat peaches too." Cousin Wang Jun immediately said.
"Why are you eating peaches? You can't even finish one peach. Why don't you eat a banana?”After saying that, he placed the pears, peaches, and grapes into a wooden basin and washed them.
I was bored, so I found a small stool and sat down. I looked at the people in the courtyard. They were my aunt's parents, her elder brother and his son. He was the only son in his family. There was a man chopping firewood beside the kitchen. He seemed to be my aunt's brother-in-law and the two boys who helped him should be his two nephews. At the kitchen door, there was a woman picking vegetables with a group of little girls. This woman looked 40% like my aunt. She should be my aunt's elder sister. Six of the girls are from his family. One is my cousin Wang Qian, and the other three are from my uncle's family. They are much older than me and I have only seen them once. They basically don't play with us children and are always helping out. He didn't see his aunt's in-laws, his aunt's younger brother, and his sister-in-law. They might have gone out! At the entrance of the central room, a woman was holding a child and looking after the children. This woman was the daughter-in-law of Liu family's uncle. She was holding the youngest son of their brother-in-law, who was only one year old. Beside the woman is my cousin Wang Jun, and the other is the eldest son of my aunt's younger brother. There are also two little girls who are said to be twins, but they don't look alike. They should be fraternal twins. The little girls are six years old, and their birthdays are the day after tomorrow.
"Come, the fruits are washed. Come and eat!”His aunt came out with fruits.
"Father, Mother, you guys eat grapes. This is not a waste of teeth!”said the Liu family's eldest uncle.
"Big sister, big brother-in-law, don't be busy. Come and eat the fruit!”My uncle also said.
"Sigh, I know. I'll come.”An honest voice sounded. It was Liu Family's brother-in-law.
He put down the axe in his hand and came over with his two nephews.
"Come, Little Jia, this peach is the reddest. Eat this!”My aunt gave me a very red peach.
"Thank you, Auntie!" I smiled and took the peach. The peach was very red and looked delicious. *^_^*
He opened his mouth and took a bite. How sweet!
Everyone came over and each of them took a piece of fruit. Youngest Biao Sister took a few grapes and came to my side. "Cousin, do you eat grapes?"
"I'm not eating anymore. You eat it. I have such a big peach. It's quite sweet when you take a bite!”I told Youngest Biao Sister.
"I don't want peaches. Every time I eat peaches, my mouth itches!”Her cousin frowned.
Itchy? It should be an allergic reaction. Some people were allergic to the fur on the surface of peaches. According to her description, it should be a slight allergic reaction to the fur and only an itch.
A few people came in when I was halfway through my peach. It was my aunt's younger brother and sister-in-law, as well as her elder sister's parents-in-law. They were holding vegetables in their hands, meat and fish. They should have gone to buy vegetables. Behind them were two boys who seemed to be the sons of the Liu family's elder sister.
"Why did you buy so many things!" The eldest sister of the Liu family said when she saw that they had returned with so many things.
"Mother, we have more people. Even if we buy less, it won't be enough!”A slightly older boy took over and handed over the basket in his hand." What do you think of these shells? When we went there, they were closing their stall. We bought them all for 2 wen and 5 catties. These are only 4 wen!”
"Is that so? That was really cheap. If it wasn't fresh, then don't let others fool you. If it wasn't fresh, it would eat bad people!”As he spoke, he took the basket.
"Fresh, I've seen it. If it's not fresh, how can I let you buy it!”The woman who had just entered looked at Madam and spoke.
"I'll give this meat to you. See if it's enough. I think this meat is quite good. When I bought it, I picked the fattest one.”his aunt and brother said.
My aunt reached out and took a large piece of fat pork belly tied with a hemp rope! "This meat is not bad. It's just right for refining oil. There's not much oil at home.”
"I also said that this piece of meat is good. I saw that there wasn't much oil when Second Sister was cooking the other day.”A round-faced woman answered. This should be my aunt's sister-in-law. I really didn't see her a few days ago. Every time she came, she was either cooking or looking after the children. I didn't see her at all. This little woman looked like she was going to cause trouble. She was also sweet.
"I also bought some rice. Where should I put it? Sis, do you think we should buy more rice? The price of rice we bought today has increased again." the woman continued.
"It rose again? How much is it today?" his aunt asked.
"Today, it's already 9 wen per 500 grams. Even the miscellaneous grains are 6 wen. I bought old rice here. If it was new rice, it would be 12 wen!”his aunt's younger brother said.
"So much? In previous years, the new rice price was only 7 wen, but this had almost doubled!”my aunt said with a frown.
"Buy, go buy some more. How much silver do you have on hand? Is it enough to buy 200 catties?”Uncle Liu immediately received it.
"200 pounds? Not enough. I can still buy about 100 catties with the money I have!”Uncle Liu returned.
