Chapter 15: Red Eye
Zhang's has long thought about it, the middle of the creek is relatively deep, the fish and toads must not be easy to catch, and they will not catch a few if they want to catch them, only the most marginal ones are more, after all, the water and mud here are almost mixed together, this creek passes by the edge of the village, and it is not long, as long as you dig this side for a few more days, you will get a lot of small fish and toads, and you can also take them out and sell them, and the family will also have income.
"Peach blossom, let's go back in a while, put these small fish and toads in the middle of the branches, freeze into ice and no one will see it, and then we will come out every day, so that no one will notice, and after a few days, we can dig it all away, and if someone knows about it in the future, then go to the middle of the creek and dig it, do you say this is good?" Although Zhang is very weak, it does not mean that she is stupid.
In the past, she saw the thoughts of her mother-in-law and her second siblings clearly, but after all, she was in a long house, and there were old people above, so she secretly didn't say much about the loss.
Peach Blossom couldn't wait to jump up and applaud her mother, and nodded vigorously, "Mother, do we have a market here?" ”
was happy for a while, and Zhang forgot to care about how his daughter knew this.
"Of course you can, but we'll have to wait until we get all our stuff home. "Otherwise, with the temperament of the second brother and sister, they will definitely rob this way of wealth.
Peach Blossom cracked her mouth happily and nodded vigorously, her mother was really not stupid, she was more careful than she thought.
The mother and daughter put the fish and toads in the branches, but it was so cold outside that the things they had dug up were frozen into a ball and mixed with the mud, and they couldn't tell what they were until they looked closely.
The mother and daughter endured the cold and washed their hands in the snow, and then went home, and when they entered the yard, Cheng Laohan was slightly stunned, and it seemed that he didn't know about Mrs. Cheng's firewood.
In the countryside, every family farms, there is still no shortage of firewood to burn, and some branches will be picked up in autumn.
"Dad" Zhang didn't blame Cheng Laohan for his grievances, said hello, and put the firewood he picked up under the window of the east house.
In this way, you can see if anyone has moved the firewood.
The peach blossom secretly hooked the corners of her lips, the old lady is really getting smarter and smarter, she likes it very much.
Cheng Laohan couldn't speak, so he only gave a rough sigh of kindness, turned around and entered the house.
Peach Blossom looked happy, thinking that her grandfather would definitely lose her temper with her grandmother, and that old lady was so hateful that she couldn't look down on them, they were also the daughters-in-law and children of her eldest son.
When the mother and daughter entered the house, they heard Mrs. Cheng complaining about their grievances, obviously Cheng Laohan had already told what had just happened, Zhang took his daughter to open the lock and entered the east house directly, and the west house was quiet after a while.
It can be seen that Cheng Laohan is not his wife's opponent, Peach Blossom has long expected it, and it seems that Zhang's family has also expected it, otherwise how could he not complain to Cheng Laohan about grievances, obviously the head of the family is Mrs. Cheng, and Cheng Laohan can't get Mrs. Cheng, otherwise how dare Mrs. Cheng do that.
In the evening, the Zhang family took her daughter out to cook, and Mrs. Cheng was also cooking over there, seeing the mother and daughter, Mrs. Cheng had a calm face, and when she saw the second child of the Cheng family coming in, she scolded.
"How can there be a mother-in-law to serve her daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law is not from the eldest lady's background? Did I find a daughter-in-law to come back, or did I find a mother to come back?"
The second child of the Cheng family hung his head, and he was more oriented to Cheng Laohan, "Mother, Cuizhi is not feeling well." ”
"Isn't it uncomfortable for her to do some work? I saw that she went to Lin's house during the day, and it wasn't uncomfortable to gossip everywhere?"
The second child of the Cheng family kept his head down, how dare he say a word.
Mrs. Cheng scolded for a while, squinted her eyes and glanced at Zhang's family, and saw that the mother and daughter were actually using hot water to copy wild vegetables, and her eyes were slightly surprised. Could it be that they were dug up when they went to collect firewood during the day?
Thinking of putting some wild vegetables in the cornmeal, the taste 、、、 Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but pout, but she couldn't put her face down, thinking of bullying their mother and daughter so much, she didn't even use firewood, and she was embarrassed to speak, and scolded the Wang family more and more ruthlessly, even the second child of the Cheng family was not less scolded.
Here, Zhang's porridge with wild vegetables and cornmeal has already been good, and the aroma is scattered all over the house in an instant, the second child of the Cheng family can't help but take a look, Cheng Laohan has nothing to do in the winter, and then he rushes to sell it for money, and when he comes out to get the bamboo strips, he smells a fragrance, looks at Zhang's side, and turns into the house.
Peach Blossom is smart, and the immature words said crisply, "Mother, dig for a day and get wild vegetables, it's really fragrant, let's dig it tomorrow, okay?"
"Where there are so many wild vegetables, there are so many plants in the snow, peach blossoms like to eat for a while, eat more, all for peach blossoms to eat. Zhang smiled and nodded his daughter's nose.
When Mrs. Cheng heard this, her face fell on the spot, and she didn't care if she was embarrassed or not, "Peach Blossom Girl, how can there be a good food without filial piety to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then you split up, so you don't put your father-in-law and mother-in-law in your eyes?"
Zhang lowered his head weakly, "It's just a bowl of wild vegetable porridge, I thought my mother was not rare to eat." ”
Mrs. Cheng, who was choked by this, blushed, and could only say the opposite, "Yes, I am not rare to eat, but have you ever asked me?
Peach Blossom blinked, "Grandmother, aren't you splitting up? In the morning, you told my mother that you would take care of your own affairs in the future." ”
Zhang hurriedly stopped his daughter's mouth, "Peach blossom, don't talk nonsense." ”
Mrs. Cheng was angry when she saw this, why didn't you stop it earlier, but let the child stop it after finishing speaking, and she intended to let the child say it.
"Alright, I'll bring a bowl to your father-in-law later. Mrs. Cheng thought of the wild vegetable porridge, made an excuse, and turned around and entered the house.
Zhang's is not a stingy person, but he is angry that they are too bullying, and there are not many things in the original mother, and they are still worried about this little thing in their mouths, such people are still in-laws.
When it was time to eat, Zhang's sent a bowl, and when he was eating, Wang's body was also better, and when he saw Zhang's porridge, "Yo, sister-in-law, where did you get the wild vegetable porridge?
Zhang smiled faintly, "Wild vegetable porridge is not a good thing, but there is so much cornmeal at home, and if you want to eat it for winter and spring, I made a handful, just three bowls, and sent a bowl to my father." ”
Do you still have to go to other people's mouths to eat something?
Wang pursed his lips and stopped talking.
Cheng Lin shouted to eat, but the wild vegetable porridge that Mrs. Cheng fancied entered her grandson's stomach, Wang didn't eat it, and naturally felt much more comfortable when he watched it on the side, anyway, his son ate it, and it didn't enter the stomach of outsiders.
Peach Blossom listened to it in the East House, but she hated it, this family is really superb, and she has to think about moving out of this house.
