"In the future, pay five taels of silver every month, don't tell them the rest, you must know that Shengmi Endou Mi hate, it is enough to buy some snacks for the children during the New Year's holidays. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info a lot of money you keep for yourself, that's what you earn, it's useless for anyone to be greedy, if you have the ability, you can earn it yourself. "The old lady is still very fair.
"Yes, I listen to grandma." Qiao Lan felt that she was very lucky to be able to come to such a reasonable and fair family to live, and she was extremely grateful and had a lot of sense of belonging to the Li family.
"Milk, when will our house be repaired? My second brother is about the same age. Qiao Lan sat next to the old lady and chattered, and also rested her eyes.
"Well, the cover is to be covered, not in the past two years, wait a minute, doing so many things in one breath makes people greedy, that's a curse and not a blessing." The old lady knows how to keep a low profile.
"Yes, I listen to grandma."
"What are you going to embroider next?" The old lady asked.
"Or embroider the picture, now there is no shortage of money, just embroider something you like, I plan to embroider a Buddha statue of Guanyin, keep it for a good price when the time comes, or Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum with poems embroidered a pair, elegant and good-looking, good looks."
"Well, the characters are not easy to embroider, it takes more energy, if you want to embroider, you can do it slowly, and you can get it out." The old lady didn't stop it.
"I'll go buy some good plain satin and come back." Qiao Lan held a piece of mutton fat ointment and wiped her hands carefully, not letting go of every joint.
The embroidery girl's hands are very precious, easy not to do rough work for fear of making the hands thick, will scratch the fabric, you must know that the best fabric scratches a little silk thread can not be used, is to compensate, protect the hand to make it soft and smooth This habit Qiao Lan has long been formed.
Mrs. Li shook the recliner and asked, "Go back to the Liu family's grocery store and buy some mutton fat ointment, your hands can't get frostbite, it's not easy." ”
"Well, I know." Qiao Lan rubbed her hands seriously.
"What do you think of Liu Chuanhu?" Mrs. Li asked.
"I'll look at it, as long as you think it's good." Qiao Lan smiled shyly, not caring much about this.
"I also want you to like it, I see that Liu Chuanhu is a character, he has a bottom line in his heart, he is still a good offspring, and he has seen when he goes out to fight. It's just that you're a little older, what do you say? ”
"It doesn't matter, it's good to be sensible and hurt people, he doesn't have a woman in his family." The reason why Qiaolan does not reject it is because the Liu family does not have a mother-in-law, and the mothers-in-law in ancient times were very powerful.
Just look at her house, Mrs. Li is a final word when she speaks, and her sister-in-law will never dare to reply after Mother Li finishes speaking, how much private money Mother Li has in her heart, and she can't hide it at all.
The little daughter-in-law in their village didn't dare to save too much private money, it was nothing more than that the money from selling embroidery could be saved for two, no matter how much. If there is more, it has to be handed over to the mother-in-law, and it is like this regardless of the family, so that the daughter-in-law will be scolded for giving things and money to her mother's family in private.
This mother-in-law made Qiaolan's heart loosen, and she would save a lot of things in the future, so she didn't have to be angry.
"Well, you're a freak, and you've taken a fancy to that." Mrs. Li didn't pay too much attention to this, she didn't expect her granddaughter to think about this first, and she smiled when she thought about it, and it was understandable that the little girl was afraid of the evil mother-in-law.
"You have the final say, I don't think it's bad or anything special, your eyesight is better than mine, you just look good." Qiao Lan still trusts Mrs. Li's vision, she is a very wise old lady.
Mrs. Li nodded and didn't say anything, and took a nap with her eyes closed.
Qiaolan covered Mrs. Li with a thin quilt, quietly went out of the house, and saw Qingyuan sitting at the small dining table practicing calligraphy with a sand table in the courtyard, and looked at it with a smile.
When I entered the kitchen, I saw that Li's mother and sister-in-law were busy, and I also fished out the vegetable frame to pick vegetables, which were dried vegetables in autumn, and after soaking them in water, it was a good dish, and there was a little pickle snow mushroom, all of which were planted in their own vegetable fields.
"Are you done?" Mother Li asked.
"Well, my eyes are tired, I'll rest for a while. What do you eat at night? Qiao Lan asked as she picked vegetables.
"Eat vegetable porridge, there is still a little braised soup left, I wonder if it is okay to get some tofu rolls and marinate them, and eat a hot chowder under the next dish?" Mother Li asked her daughter's meaning.
"Okay." Qiao Lan smiled and nodded.
"Aunt Li, the cattle of the Zhang family at the head of the village are no good, they said they were going to kill them, do you want to go and see the excitement?" The aunt next door came out and shouted at the door.
"Oh, why do you want to kill it?" Mother Li wiped her hands on her apron and went out to talk to her. Qiao Lan also followed.
"Hello auntie."
"Qiaolan, my face is much better this time, but I've raised it back." Aunt Li looked at Qiao Lan and her pink appearance; Smile kindly.
"The Zhang family sent people to the county at night, and when they came back during the day, the cow fell, and they reported to the county government and promised to kill them, I looked very good and asked if you wanted to buy some, and you have a lot of family."
"Oh, do you think we want it?" Mother Li was a little hesitant, and felt that such an opportunity was rare to meet, so she turned to look at her daughter's face.
"Yes, even buy more meat and bones, you can't eat beef once in a few years, buy more and make more cured meat at the end of the year, how can you work in the field and not eat it." Qiao Lan heard that this opportunity was rare.
When I came here, I realized that beef was not something that could be eaten casually, and that cattle belonged to the labor of the main farmland, and were protected by the law, and could not be killed easily.
But if you fall and are disabled and have no illness after reporting to the yamen, you can only slaughter them after going through a procedure with the consent of the yamen, and generally the villagers buy and consume them by themselves, so such opportunities are not often encountered, and the general farmers are reluctant to kill the cattle, unless there is really no way.
"Buy more, then? Ask your milk. Mother Li didn't dare to make a decision alone.
"Then I'll ask." Qiao Lan happily ran into the house and asked her grandmother.
"My grandmother said to buy more, the opportunity is rare, let me go quickly, I don't have to buy meat in the second half of the year." Qiao Lan came out with the money bag, her face was happy, and her smile was like a flower, and she was as lively as a child.
"Cheng, then buy more, and buy more bones?"
"Buy some stew soup to drink, the family can drink it for a long time."
"Done." Mother Li went out and planned to call the head of the house to carry the meat together.
After a while, Mother Li and Li Qingshan came back with a lot of meat and brought a pair of cows into the water, which was really not old or young.
"So much?" Qiao Lan didn't expect that Mother Li would be willing to buy so much meat.
"What, there are many people who watch the excitement, and there are few people who pay to buy it, this cow is still in the prime of life, not old, not firewood and not sick, the price is also higher, the Zhang family is not willing to sell cheaply, your father said to buy more, when it is cold, I will boil bone broth for you to drink, and it can also replenish the body, so I bought this pair of water back, you can wash it together." Mother Li said with a smile.
"I'll wash it, I'll wash it." Qiao Lan raised her chin, what is this.
