After lunch, Zhou Yaosen did not go directly into the house to rest, but called the second child aside to talk.

"Erbao, I know you're not happy in your heart. ”

"No, Dad, I'm not unhappy. "Zhou Jifu has returned to normal, how can he admit that he is unhappy in his heart, he really thinks so, and he can't say that.

Zhou Yaosen didn't care whether he admitted it or not, and said his thoughts to himself, "I know that your brother didn't help at home this time, and several of you are not happy, I feel that I have worked more, and I feel uncomfortable." ”

"No, I didn't think so. Zhou Jifu still denied it, but there was no warm smile on his face.

"It doesn't matter if you have it or not, you listen to me. Zhou Yaosen glanced at him, "In the past few years, during the autumn harvest of our family, several of you were fighting wolves in the back, and your brother helped me work together, and at that time, your brother didn't climb a few of you and didn't work......

"Isn't that my brother older than us, and we didn't have the strength to do it even if we wanted to. Zhou Jifu still couldn't hold back and retorted in a small voice.

"Then you mean, if your eldest brother is still helping the family this year, you still want to do some light work like in previous years?" Zhou Yaosen originally wanted to talk to the second child calmly, but after saying these two words to the second child, he was angry in his heart.

"That's no, I just think it's all the same brothers, so they all work the same. Zhou Jifu said it nicely, but he actually thought so in his heart. He is used to standing behind his eldest brother and enjoying it, and it is not a good thing to suddenly push him up at this time, it is strange that he can feel comfortable in his heart.

"When your eldest brother helped me work, he was as old as you are now, why didn't you say at that time, you were my son like your eldest brother, so you had to work the same. Now that your eldest brother can't help with something, you're picking and picking, do you still have a conscience when you say this? Zhou Yaosen's voice unconsciously rose an octave.

Zhou Jifu lowered his head and was silent, knowing that he would definitely offend his father if he continued to speak, so he simply stopped squeaking and made a silent protest.

Zhou Yaosen looked at him like a bear, the anger in his heart was extinguished at once, and he felt a little tasteless, so he simply didn't say much, "No matter what you think, it's a foregone conclusion that your eldest brother can't help the family work in this autumn harvest, and your brother doesn't care about anything, he handed over all the money he has earned outside in the past few months to me, saying that he wants me to cut some meat at this time and give you a few to replenish your body, you see that your brother is always thinking about you, and you also have a little conscience, learn from your eldest brother." ”

Zhou Jifu still bowed his head and was silent, slandering in his heart, if he didn't go to school, he could be like his eldest brother, and make money outside, which would definitely be better than his eldest brother.

"Okay, okay, I'm tired enough in the morning, I won't say it, this is five cents, you take it, go to the town for a while, cut the pound of meat and come back, let your eldest sister burn it at night, don't see the sky and say I lied to you." Zhou Yaosen took out a few dime from his pocket, and when he was about to hand it over, he suddenly thought, "You can go, if you don't want to go, I'll let your eldest sister run." "Don't think he's biased because of that.

Zhou Jifu's eyes were straight when he saw the money, he simply snatched the money in his hand, and said: "Dad, what are you talking about, I'm not tired, for the sake of our family, I'm just tired and willing, you can rest assured, I'll go to the town now, and I'll definitely cut the fattest meat back." As he spoke, he was about to run out,

"Hey, you stinky boy, as soon as you talk about eating meat, you will be energetic, hurry up and come back to me, you didn't bring anything, you went to get some meat. ”

Zhou Jifu carried a huge amount of money in his back basket pocket all the way to the town briskly, although he had to come here every day when he went to school in the town, but because there was no penny in his pocket, he never liked to run to the supply and marketing cooperative, although his family was not rich, but his self-esteem was very strong.

It's different today, he has money in his pocket, and he counts it on the road, and now the pork is about four cents and five to four cents and seven pounds, and he asks people to cut a small piece less, and it is estimated that he can deduct five points in private, so that he will have the money to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to see, if he meets something he likes, the price is right, and he also has money to buy.

But the first task is to buy the pork that his father gave him first.

There is a stall in the town that specializes in selling meat, and the stall is out all the year round, just turn east at the intersection of the supply and marketing cooperative, and walk a short way to it. This is also the reason why Zhou Sining has never bought meat to eat in the town so many times, she didn't know that there was such a place.

Zhou Jifu knew about this place, but he had never been there. This is the first time.

"Uncle, how much is a pound of pork. When Zhou Jifu looked for it, there was not much meat on the stall, and there was a big man sitting behind the stall, holding a tattered pu fan, sitting behind the stall and fanning you to cool you.

"Four cents and five, how much do you want?" the big man looked at the business, put down the pu fan in his hand, stood up and grabbed the huge pig-killing knife on the board and prepared to cut the meat.

"Well, you can cut me four cents, don't cut too much, I don't pay. Zhou Jifu was taken aback by the actions of the people.

The big man ignored him, reached out and grabbed a piece of pork, and threw the knife in his other hand.

Zhou Jifu's eyes followed the knife of others, he was afraid that he would cut too much, and he was afraid that he would cut less.

"Hey, Zhou Jifu, you also came to buy meat, what a coincidence. ”

A sudden voice behind him interrupted Zhou Jifu's thoughts, and he turned his head a little stunned.

"Why, if you have money to eat meat, you don't agree with learning. "The person who came was also a boy about the same age as Zhou Jifu, looking like a hanger, and it was estimated that his conduct was not much stronger than Zhou Jifu.

"Don't talk nonsense, why are you here? Isn't your home from Zhaohe Village?" Zhou Jifu saw that it was his classmate, and hurriedly greeted him, thinking that if he could meet his classmate at this time, it was also God's eyes, so that he could also show off in front of his classmates.

"That's right, isn't this autumn harvest, the family needs to eat something good, or you don't have the strength to work, don't you send me to the town to cut meat." ”

These two people really have the same purpose.

"Come, look, nine taels of meat, exactly four cents. At this time, the big man who sold meat had already cut the meat he wanted, and asked him to look at the scales.

Zhou Jifu turned his head, "Hey, okay, you can just give it to me." He took the meat and put it in the basket, then took the money out of his pocket, counted out four sheets, and handed them over.

"Your family is really willing to cut so much meat at once. The classmate stood behind and looked at the large piece of meat in his back basket and was not envious.

"Hehe, there are many people in the family, no way. Although Zhou Jifu was modest, his face was full of smiles, he liked this feeling and was envied.

"Hey, it turns out that your family has mint over there, no wonder your family has the money to buy meat to eat. The classmate suddenly saw a piece of hay under his back basket and suddenly realized.

"What do you say?"
