Not long after the two of them went out, the originally gloomy and windy weather began to snow, the small snow particles, not big, only walked for an hour, the two of them were full, Qin Tian did not take the donkey cart, jumped down directly and drove the donkey forward, while striding forward, fast and steady.

The snow was drifting around, all over the mountains, Qin Tian in front of him was wearing a thick army green coat and a big hat, and from time to time there was a hot breath spewing out, just between this vast sky and earth, it was as if there were only the two of them.

No matter how cold it is, the heart is not lonely.

Half an hour later, the two arrived in the village, Qin Tian drove Jiang Momo to the door, Jiang Momo put a basket on his back, and greeted: "Go to the house for a meeting, eat dinner and then go back." ”

Qin Tian waved his hand and said, "I won't go, you go back, I'll return the donkey cart first and feed the donkey." ”

Jiang Momo has been hmming all her life, opening the wooden door, Qin Tian watched Jiang Momo enter the courtyard, and heard a voice coming from the yard, so he drove the donkey cart back to the brigade headquarters.

As soon as Jiang Momo came home, she shouted in a sigh: "Auntie, Daddy, sister, Yaozu!"

A few people were talking on a kang at this time, and when they heard the movement, they all came out, and Jiang's father hurriedly picked up his daughter's back basket that was dragged down, and Bala sighed in his hand and asked, "What, it's dead!"

Jiang Momo said proudly: "Meat!"

At the end, Yao Huazhi, who was holding the soles of his shoes, stretched his neck and stared, and saw the man pull out a large piece of big fat pork from it, so frightened that the soles of his shoes almost fell to the ground, and with a nervous face, he trotted towards the man with his slippers, and grabbed the basket and went towards the stove.

Jiang Momo sat at the stove and added firewood while roasting the fire, and simply told the family about the matter, Jiang Dad said with some suspicion: "You mean, the matter is done?

Jiang Momo added: "Well, it didn't occupy the quota of each brigade. ”

Dad Jiang was a little skeptical, it was so easy to do it, and it was so fast, Yao Huazhi could think about it: "What do you want, you won't know tomorrow, it's like this now, all we can do is wait for the news, it's not going to be possible, now that we have eyebrows, let's just wait." Besides, Qin Tian's kid was already down-to-earth and reliable, he said tomorrow, then tomorrow. You just wait. ”

Father Jiang felt that what his mother-in-law said was right, what was there to worry about in this matter, but Jiang Momo saw Yao Huazhi dividing the meat, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, I told my third uncle before this, he wants twenty catties, and one catty will charge him eight cents." ”

Just now, Jiang Momo told her father and mother that a fellow scholar who sold rice got a pig, and she bought most of the slices, eight cents a pound.

Jiang Dad and Yao Huazhi have nothing to say, although the pork in the city is only more than three cents a catty, but this has to be a meat ticket, a meat ticket, a regular worker, only five taels of meat a month, and a family of two workers is only half a catty of meat tickets, which is very rare, you can buy meat for eight cents, so don't you be a fool.

Yao Huazhi knew that her daughter had a good relationship with her third brother, and it was estimated that she was angry before, so she directly found the family's scale, began to cut strips, weighed twenty catties of meat and put it outside to let it freeze, and when Ming'er Snow stopped, she asked the child's father to send it to her father, and by the way, she told Aiju about going to the county to study.

There were forty catties of meat left, Yao Huazhi looked at the man and asked, "What about the rest of the meat, do you think you want to give some to your father?"

Dad Jiang was making the grass dumplings that Jiang Momo requested, and when he heard his mother-in-law ask, he said: "You cut a ten-pound one, I'll send it over, this meat is not given for nothing, I told my father that I was looking for someone to buy it, one pound and eight cents, my father is reasonable, and he won't let us give it for nothing." ”

Yao Huazhi also means this, it's okay to give it for nothing, at most a pound of meat, for the old man to eat, filial piety to the old man is a matter of course, what is the matter with giving the eldest uncle's family to eat for nothing.

In the past few years, the previous days were not good, every household was difficult, a relative brought rations, the harvest was good in the past two years, the children were old and able to do some work, and the days were good, the uncle's family said that they were taking care of the two old people, but they really gave good things in the second room, and they burned the meat and served a bowl, even if they burned a white flour oil cake, they also had to send it.

During the New Year's holiday, I gave money to buy clothes for the two old people to make cotton clothes, and the old people relied on the two old ones, eating and drinking, especially the Li Guihua, who was full of people and men who had to be raised and managed, and life was difficult.

It's hard to fart, the old man and the old lady have four sons, and the other three sons have to give 600 catties of food every year, which is not counting money and things, their family lives close, and almost all of the delicious food is sent over, and from time to time they also take two old people to eat at home.

And the two old people are not immobile now, the old lady has done a lot of housework at home, where is the old lady and the old man busy in the self-reserved land, when the farm is busy, the old lady will make the tea and rice early and wait, not to mention how beautiful it is, she can't wait to snatch the two old people and raise them, but the eldest son is in charge of the old people in the countryside, and there are few people who are in charge of the old man in the back.

If this happened to their Jiang family, let alone whether the boss was willing or not, everyone in the village would have to spit and drown his family.

Daddy Jiang pulled a large piece of meat and put it in the back basket, covered it with the previous coarse linen gauze, put on a dogskin hat, put on a sheepskin cloak and went out.

This sheepskin cloak is a wild goatskin made this summer, and after it was sold, Jiang Aiju cut it according to the sketch drawn by Jiang Momo and made a cloak for adults to wear, in the end, it was genuine leather, and it was really warm.

When I arrived at the Jiang family's big house, Jiang's father was also scheming, so he didn't say anything directly to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and went to the east house to talk to his father and mother.

As soon as Daddy Jiang said what he meant, Old Man Jiang hurriedly climbed to the edge of the kang, lifted the back basket, and reached out to lift up the large piece of pork.

Grandma Jiang on the side, her eyes lit up, she hurriedly touched her reading glasses and put them on, stepped forward to take a closer look, and muttered in her mouth: "It's really a good piece of meat!"

Grandpa Jiang nodded approvingly: "It's good meat, second child, more money?"

Dad Jiang said softly: "Bamao, I got forty catties, Huazhi's mother ordered some early, and I will send it to Ming'er Xue when she stops." ”

Old man Jiang put the meat back in the basket and said to the old lady: "A total of ten catties, eight cents and one catty, that is eight yuan, let's take three yuan out of two, and I will ask the boss for the rest!"

Daddy Jiang hurriedly stopped the old man Jiang who was getting off the kang and said, "I'm out of my father's share!"

Old Man Jiang shook his head and said, "If I don't ask you to come out, our money is usually given by your brothers, so what's there to worry about!"

The old lady not only stuffed three yuan for her second son, but also gave more than a dozen white rabbit toffee that was only available in the provincial capital, and said with a smile: "Give my second son something to eat!"

Daddy Jiang hurriedly opened a stuffed mouth and said with a smile: "Mother, it's so sweet!"
