Chapter 145: A Dilemma
Yuxiu didn't know what to say for a while, looking at Yudong with a stubborn face in front of her, she knew that her brother's idea was right from the point of view, but if she couldn't quickly grab fame, she was still afraid. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After Yudong said those words, he stiffened his neck and waited for Yuxiu to refute him.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Yuxiu was silent, he turned his head and saw Yuxiu standing there with red eyes, tears in her eyes, stubbornly refusing to cry.
He regretted it at once, the eldest sister's melon seed face, which was originally the size of a palm, is now sharper and smaller.
After returning to Dongping Village from Wangjia Village, himself, Yushu, and Yuliang have all grown taller and fatter, and the uncle's complexion has improved, even Lan Niu and Xiaohuang are fat and bulging, only the eldest sister seems to be thinner.
At these times, when the family had no money, she was thinking about making money, and in the summer, when it was so hot, she sat in front of the tandoor and baked loaches. It's so cold in winter, and she always has to soak her hands in cold water.
She let herself go to the town to practice martial arts and study, and she did most of the work in the fields......
His lips moved, and he wanted to promise his eldest sister that he would go to the magistrate and Xuezheng tomorrow to give gifts, but he couldn't open his mouth.
"Xiuxiu, I'...... I'm trying my best, okay? He asked, begging for mercy.
Yuxiu looked at Yudong's embarrassed expression, calmed down, and pushed her brother and them too hard.
She turned her head and blinked vigorously, hid away her tears, and said with a soothing smile, "Brother, you're right, I was wrong." We still study hard and are not in a hurry. ”
She had seen a lot of corruption and darkness in her previous life, but Yudong, he had endured hardships, but he still stuck to his original intention. That's it, maybe, this is also my brother's fate.
Yudong felt even more guilty when he heard Yuxiu say this.
After Yuxiu made a decision, she didn't bother anymore, seeing that it was windier outside, she pulled him into the house and closed the account book, "The gift to Wuzhi County, let's wait for Layue to send it." ”
"By the way, brother, didn't you say last time that Master Hong likes to eat our sesame shrimp paste? Send two cans tomorrow, right? Then it was cold, and I couldn't do it. ”
This sesame shrimp paste is made by Yuxiu with small shrimp. This kind of small shrimp is small, and it doesn't have much meat if you eat it as a dish. Yuxiu washed the small shrimp and salted it for a day, fried the minced chives and ginger, put the small shrimp in it and fried it thoroughly, then put water on low heat and slowly stewed it, put some bean paste to taste, put it in a crockpot, eat it and eat it, and it can withstand it.
Yudong saw that Hong Tianxi liked to eat this kind of pickled thing, so he took a can and sent it over.
Hong Tianxi really liked it very much, Yuxiu deliberately made several cans to keep, and sent one or two cans over from time to time. They are not short of money now, but Master Hong still refuses to restrain them, which makes Yudong and Yuliang very embarrassed.
Therefore, Yuxiu simply asked them to send some home-cooked things to Master Hong from time to time, such as vegetables, melons and fruits, pickled vegetables and pickles, and things that were not put away, which would be sent over several times so as not to spoil.
"Okay, then I'll take it tomorrow."
"By the way, go to the town to find a tooth shop and ask, if there is good land nearby to sell, how many acres will we buy?" Yuxiu asked consultatively.
"Okay, I'll ask tomorrow." When Yudong heard about buying a field, he nodded happily, "If only I could buy back our family's field." ”
Yushu and Yuliang breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two of them didn't quarrel. When I heard that I was going to buy a field, I was excited to think about how many acres I wanted to buy.
"Sister, it's getting late, I'm going to cook." Yushu thought that there were a bunch of dishes prepared in the stove, and she planned to eat a good meal tonight.
"You've worked hard these times, Shu'er, I'll do it, you can rest for a while."
Yuxiu is busy outside, and Yushu is doing all the housework.
"Sister, I'm not tired, you've worked hard, you have to eat more tonight."
In the end, the two of them cooked together and made a few dishes.
Braised pork, stir-fried winter bamboo shoots, fried mushrooms with eggs, steamed crucian carp, green vegetable tofu, and finally, a large pot of chicken soup with jade bamboo and red dates.
The five chicks in the family are now grown up to lay eggs. originally planned to kill one to eat during the winter solstice, but when it came time to pick chickens, Yushu was reluctant.
The five chicks, who survived the fire, were all fed by her little by little, and she felt that she was reluctant to kill any of them. But Yuliang slapped her slap and happily waited for the chicken to eat, and she couldn't bear to say this sentence if she didn't kill it.
When it was time to kill the chicken, she caught the rooster, and she said that this rooster had to be kept to crow.
Pick a fat hen, she said that the chicken lays eggs every day and has to be kept.
Picking a lean hen, she said that the chicken didn't have much meat and it was not delicious.
In the end, Yuxiu understood, and paid for an old hen to buy in the town to eat.
This time, Yudong didn't make any mistakes in killing chickens, and the knives in his hands were very neat, Yan Qingjiang and Yuliang helped pluck the chicken feathers, and the three men cleaned up the chickens.
Yan Qingjiang's legs were already able to walk, so he still let him sit on the upper seat, and two charcoal basins were placed in the house, and the five of them ate hot.
Yudong refuted Yuxiu's words, and he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.
The next day, he took two cans of sesame shrimp paste and sent them to Hong Tianxi's house, he was not good at hiding his emotions, and the expression on his face was a little sad.
"Yudong, do you have something on your mind?" Hong Tianxi sat on the side, looking at himself staring at the wall for a long time.
Yudong intuitively shook his head, nodded again, and said distressedly, "Master, I don't think I'm reading material. ”
Hong Tianxi touched his beard and showed no mercy at all, "You are indeed not the material for reading." ”
The master won't comfort himself? Yudong is a little aggrieved, is he stupid?
"You're not stupid, you're just reading books and talking about talent." Hong Tianxi seemed to see through Yudong's thoughts, "You have talent in martial arts. Why did you suddenly think of this? ”
"My eldest sister wants me to take the exam next year, but I will definitely not pass the exam. It's not good to be tricky, but it's ...... I'm sure I won't be able to pass the ......" Yudong's words stumbled, and he couldn't help revealing the meaning of Yuxiu yesterday.
Hong Tianxi could understand what he meant, looking at this disciple's face full of distress, it was rare for him to have this kind of non-opportunistic mentality.
He has seen all four children of the Yan family, Yushu and Yuliang are younger, one is shy and kind-hearted, the other is lively and smart, and Yudong is honest and down-to-earth.
Only Yuxiu, he felt that this girl was a little incomprehensible. is only ten years old, has a sensitive mind, copes with the old way, and is even more skilled in human contacts.
It's like she taught Yudong that the brothers didn't restrain themselves, she never deliberately said to give money, but every time she asked Yudong to send something, she could always send it to her heart.
"Master, I feel sorry for my eldest sister, but I'm afraid of making her sad and disappointed." Yu Dong finally said distressedly.
"Yudong, you can't learn literature, but you can learn martial arts well, why don't you go another way?" Hong Tianxi showed him the way.
