Chapter 189: Neighbors
Xie Chenglu and his wife heard that they had their family go over, and the two discussed it all night, but they didn't sleep well and didn't get any results. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as it was dawn the next day, I found several important people in the family to discuss the matter. Everyone in the Xie family was grateful to the Liu family, a relative, and they heard that the Liu family needed Xie Chenglu and his wife to come over to help, and they all agreed that their family would go over. The house was cleaned up with the help of someone, and by the time they returned, it would never collapse and become uninhabitable.
At this time, people were not used to leaving home for a long time, and Xie Chenglu and his wife were a little depressed and unhappy. However, the children laughed happily all the way, and gradually became happy.
When I arrived at Liu's house, I found that my cousin and aunt had specially packed out a set of rooms with another door for their family to live in, and I felt more comfortable. Liu Baiquan and Zhu Linglong expressed a warm welcome to Chenglu's cousin and nephew who could come over to help their old couple.
Xie Chenglu has always been nervous not about working at his cousin's house for a long time! He is actually very envious of Chengshu's cousin and Shounan's nephew, who can work in the old cousin's house for several years, and bring back thousands of yuan every year. They are such a big cottage, who said that their uncle and nephew are not envious.
In the past two years, his eldest son also went to the old cousin's restaurant to help, but on the one hand, the income was half of that of Shounan, and the most important thing was that unless the eldest son was willing to learn to cook was a way out, otherwise there would be no future at all. It's not good, you have to go back to the mountains to survive for a few years. It's not like Shounan and Chengshu, you can do any business in the city independently.
Today, I can bring my family over, and my children will be arranged to study. The schools under the mountain are all five grades, and there are several teachers, compared to the situation where there is only one teacher in three grades in the mountain, it is the difference between heaven and earth, and he is naturally excited and excited. It's just that he vaguely heard Chengshu's cousin say: The eldest cousin still needs him to come over to suppress the array! Just a person like him who can't even say a word is not good, what kind of momentum can he have to help the eldest cousin suppress the field?
Patiently waited until the evening, when everyone was eating and chatting, and then asked my cousin nervously. Liu Baiquan laughed: "I'm afraid Chengshu doesn't know, otherwise he will make it clear to you." Actually, it's not a big deal, just chestnuts and walnuts, haven't they borne fruit in the past two years? When it was time to harvest the chestnuts, we didn't look for people from afar, but all the neighbors at our doorstep helped to harvest.
It's a little bad if they're all acquaintances! There are always people who go home with baskets full of them, and Lao Hai doesn't let them bring so much, so they take them away cheekily and giggling. They are all old acquaintances, and they don't care about their faces. Just thinking that you are a relative from afar, they have to make a face in front of you, you just stand there without saying a word, and they are embarrassed to pour chestnuts and walnuts into the whole basket home. ”
After listening to Uncle Cousin's explanation, he really didn't need any kind of fierce and vicious spirit, Xie Chenglu's flickering heart finally became steady.
Of course, this is also because, at this time, the folk customs are still very simple, and a whole basket of chestnuts and walnuts to the house is also in the name of the child, and they are all neighbors, so they will do it with a hippie smile. If you really want to be in front of outsiders, you still have to be face-free, and you can't let outsiders laugh at them Shutang people are shameless.
If you look at it more than ten years later, you will find it very sad, not to mention relatives from other places, even if the national leaders come, people will take it if they want to, so they won't care about any face!
When the Xie family came, Xing Ju didn't have to help every day, just in time for the season of killing livestock to make salty goods. She greeted some people who had been killing livestock, lifting hair, and doing odd jobs in Liu's house in previous years, and began to be busy drowning salty goods when the day was set.
Because Wang Hongying was going to open a restaurant in the county seat, he didn't have time to come back and pickle Ze in person, so he handed over some important know-how to Xing Ju. For example, a goose can't exceed how much salt it has, a duck can't exceed how much salt it can't have, and a chicken can't have more salt, and then it is, which part of the animal needs more salt, which part needs less salt, and which parts don't need to be kneaded at all.
Xing Ju is in her mother's house, and her mother can ruthlessly delay her marriage, just to make her busy at home for a few more years, which shows that she is also a good hand at housework. Wang Hongying taught her by hand, and she was able to do it. Last year's salty goods were very good, slightly saltier than Wang Hongying's pickles, and people who weren't so sloppy as Caoxiang couldn't eat it. This year, Wang Hongying didn't even go home, and Xing Ju was the main cook.
The people who came to help make salty goods were all daughters-in-law from nearby villages, and as soon as they stood at the door of Xing Ju's house, they couldn't help but be secretly jealous of Xing Ju in their hearts.
There is no father-in-law and mother-in-law to help take care of the child but there is a sister to help, if you want a son, you will have a son, and if you want a daughter, you will give birth to a daughter (Xing Ju's second child is a daughter), just get married, and you will get paid, and now I heard that it has risen to one hundred and fifty-one months (because I have to go to Liu's house every day to help Wang Hongying take care of the family, and the Liu family has specially risen), which is more than the workers in the city, and now I don't even have to raise livestock, all of them are put together with Wang Hongying's family, and you can eat as much as you want......
Hey! In the final analysis, Xing Ju is still because of marrying Lao Hai! Before getting married, everyone looked down on Lao Hai, and there was a slight rumor, and the object of the kiss said to give up, and he didn't even give Lao Hai a chance to turn around. Now, they all feel that it is good luck to marry Lao Hai, even a disabled person like Xing Ju can get paid, and he directs them to do this and that. No matter how you think about it, I feel unconvinced!
Whether they are convinced or not, they have to come to listen to Xing Ju's command, mainly to earn this money!
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate of Lao Hai's house, I saw that there were already a lot of geese and ducks in the corner of the courtyard, and Guan Zhuang's second aunt asked in surprise: "Lao Hai's daughter-in-law!
My sister-in-law in the lobby came back with a letter and said: She is busy not coming back this year, and she will not invite the big guys to dinner on the first day of work today. When you leave, one of you catches a duck and goes back to make it yourself, counting the meal she invited. ”
"Oh, Lao Wang is really, why are you so polite?! We don't lack a meal!" This is a cousin of the family, who has a good relationship with Wang Hongying, and usually doesn't call sister-in-law and brother and sister, but is called by Lao Wang and Lao Sun.
In order to show that his relationship with Wang Hongying is also very close, Zhu Chengrong followed and said: "Hey, I'll just wait to see Hong Ying's sister-in-law's generous temperament, if you don't bring it, I can take it! My son has long been clamoring for me to kill a chicken for him to eat!"
"You're welcome, you have to take it with you when you leave! It just so happens that my child has brought back a few potatoes from the city, so I'll have a potato roast duck, which is sure to be delicious!"
"Whew, you reminded me, and I also asked my son to bring some potatoes from the city back to roast the duck. ”
Many people in Shutang helped the Liu family buy things in the county seat, and followed the tractor early and returned late every day, and they needed to find these people to take everything they needed, which was more convenient than going into the city by themselves. They not only have a good relationship with each other, but also secretly compare their own lives.
Hehe! are all very cute women!
(To explain, potatoes are a common food in the north.) But in the realm of Shutang, it is a rare thing at this time, and the price is a little expensive, and people who are not living a good life are reluctant to eat. )
