Chapter 362: Trivia
Qin Mutong: "......"
She kind of knows why the people in Grandma Li's family are so enthusiastic about her old lady.
The reason for daring is here?
Since the old lady has asked Grandma Li to help smoke bacon sausages and other cured goods, how can Grandma Li make a fortune from it! This is an extra income for rural people who have no farm work to do in winter, and they are willing to earn this money at anyone's house.
And Grandma Li originally lived with her son and daughter-in-law.
She is an old man and has earned a few dollars in her hands, isn't that still a subsidy for the juniors?
"Milk, how many bacon sausages did you order from Grandma Li?" Qin Mutong asked curiously.
"It's not much, it's just half a fat pig, and the total is less than two hundred catties, I'll let your Grandma Li look at it." The old lady said lightly, "In addition to the half pig, I also ordered more than ten pairs of pork liver, pig heart, pig intestine, a few pig trotters, and a plate of dried tofu." It's all been negotiated, and when the time comes, people will send it directly to your Grandma Li, and your Grandma Li will be responsible for the smoking. ”
Qin Mutong's eyes widened suddenly: "So many?!"
Half a pig plus all the other miscellaneous things, that's a lot of money!
In the past, in the winter, the old lady would also make these by herself, but generally she made relatively little, a few pieces of bacon and a few sausages were about the same, and there were very few offals and pig's trotters.
That little money is not a lot compared to what the old lady has spent this year!
"What's so much of this?" the old lady looked like, "Why haven't you seen the world?" The main reason is that I see that you and Fang Yi don't like to eat bacon very much, and prefer to eat fresh pork, so I deliberately didn't make too much. This half of the pig was smoked out, and when the time came, let Fang Yi take it and send it away, and if he couldn't send a few of them, it would be gone. Don't you two like to eat pork liver and pig's trotters? When the time comes, you can also release it, and you two can eat whenever you want. ”
Speaking of which, the old lady still thinks more about the two children.
Qin Mutong's heart warmed, and he hugged the old lady's arm and said, "Milk, it's really hard for you this time! In the future, this kind of work will still let me go back and run, and you can enjoy Qingfu in the city!"
The old lady glared at her: "How old are you, just let me enjoy Qingfu?" Besides, I just run errands and call people, what can I be tired of? Originally, I went back this time, and I thought about coming back early, so that you would not be afraid of staying at home alone. But this winter, there are more banquets in my hometown, and there are one after another. If I don't know, forget it, since I happened to go back this time, I have to go and salute! That's why it's been delayed until now. ”
Qin Mutong suddenly realized.
That's right, as the old saying goes, if you have money or not, it's better to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year.
So when it comes to winter, there are a lot of marriages in this countryside. In addition, those who celebrate their birthdays and do funerals, there are even more gifts to go.
Although there are no one in the Qin family anymore, the old lady still understands the truth that it is difficult to make a forest alone.
Over the years, the relatives who should move around, the contacts that should be maintained, her old man has been trying to maintain. She doesn't expect to have a reason to come to the door to ask someone to do something in the future, mainly because she thinks that if she encounters something difficult in the future, her relatives and friends can help her pull it out for the sake of the friendship in the past.
"Then you went back to catch a lot of banquets this time, right?" Qin Mutong said with a smile.
"It's pretty much the same as in previous years. The old lady waved her hand, her face a little proud, "The down jacket Fang Yi sent me, no one in our village has seen it, and many people have gathered around me to ask where I bought this dress." I said that the county may not be able to buy it, and they still don't believe it one by one!"
The old lady wore a down jacket back to the village this time, which can be regarded as causing a lot of waves.
Even the daughter-in-law of the village chief, who had never interacted with the old women, came to get close to the old lady, wanting to ask where she could buy such beautiful clothes.
Qin Mutong knew that the old lady was happy, and he also cheered, and the old lady became more and more happy.
As she spoke, the old lady suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, the little daughter-in-law of the Zheng family gave birth and gave birth to a daughter." I don't think Zheng Hongxing and Xiong Xiaofen's faces are very good-looking, I look at his little daughter-in-law, I'm afraid I have to be wronged again. ”
Qin Mutong thought for a moment before reacting: "Milk, are you talking about Zheng Jianqing and his daughter-in-law?"
That is, Zheng Fangyi's sister-in-law.
"Who else but her?"
Qin Mutong: "...... The uncle and aunt of the Zheng family are about to go crazy when they want to hold their grandson, and their family is afraid that they will not be able to stop this time. ”
Zheng Hongxing has three sons, the eldest is in the provincial capital, but he gave birth to a grandson, but unfortunately he can't see or touch it. The second child and the eldest child stayed at home, and the second family also gave birth to a second child, but the two families gave birth to daughters!
Coupled with the granddaughter in the provincial capital, Zheng Hongxing now has four granddaughters, but he can't hold his grandson!
This is not a trivial matter in the countryside, where patriarchy is already very serious.
And as a daughter-in-law who is not a person inside and out, isn't that a bag of anger?
Even if the old lady didn't like Zheng Hongxing's family, she couldn't help but sigh at this time: "That Zhou Suqiong had a quarrel with Xiong Xiaofen and Wu Mei before, just waiting for her stomach to turn over!
Qin Mutong was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, right? Even if Su Qiong's sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter, it is also a child of the Zheng family! This confinement is such an important matter, the aunt of the Zheng family will not be so bad-hearted, right?"
Everyone knows that if a woman doesn't sit well this month, she will suffer a lifetime of sin!
The old lady smiled bitterly and said: "You, you haven't suffered much since you were a child, I don't know if this person is ruthless, you can do anything!"
Qin Mutong wanted to speak and stopped.
The old lady didn't want to talk to Qin Mutong about the dirty things here.
She also comforted Qin Mutong: "Fortunately, you won't have a mother-in-law in the future, so I don't have to worry about you encountering such a thing." ”
Qin Mutong: "...... Milk, you can't say this in front of Brother Fang Yi!"
Zheng Fangyi has no parents since he was a child, and he begged for a life under his own uncle, and he couldn't even be glamorous on his face, which was much worse than Qin Mutong, who also had no father.
The absence of a mother-in-law seems to be a good thing for the woman, but for the man, it is a really sad thing.
The old lady's face was a little embarrassed, she patted Qin Mutong and said, "Do you want to say this?"
Qin Mutong pursed his lips and snickered, and then began to look at the things that the old lady brought back.
