After all, seventeen acres of land is not a small amount, four laborers, plus He Laosan went to help from time to time, and it took five days to finish it.

All the green beans went to the ground, and the spicy seeds were also cultivating seedlings, and Mu Zhen's heart was relieved.

The pork offal I bought on the street last time was so busy that I kept everything except for the pork liver, which I had to eat alive at the time.

When she got up this morning, Mu Zhen habitually went to the field to see if the crows and sparrows were pecking vegetable seeds, and just happened to meet Dr. Xu, "Woman, the pork liver you fried last time, your father and I are still unsatisfied with it, listen to your mother, you have other things there, when can you let your father and I eat it?" ”

The woman is the meaning of the daughter's daughter, Mu Zhen has been in the Xu family for a long time these days, and she is also pragmatic as a houseworker, and she can also fight lawsuits with Old Man Xu from time to time. made Old Man Xu feel more and more that this girl was right.

Seeing the greedy look on Old Man Xu's face, Mu Zhen couldn't help but shake her head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I can't forget anything and I can't forget to honor your mouth." I told my mother that she didn't cook. ”

"Let your mother cook the rice, just remember to leave some dishes for your father."

Although they are cooking at their house these days, except for a pork liver, they didn't let Mu Zhen take anything at all, and all the food they used was their own.

Several times, Aunt Xu was afraid that Mu Zhen would have no money, so she secretly stuffed money for Mu Zhen, but all of them were returned by Mu Zhen, so they tried their best to help Mu Zhen's family in other aspects.

"Today's miscellaneous is mixed into the rice, don't worry, with you and your mother, you can't starve the woman." Knowing Old Man Xu's intentions, Mu Zhen joked with a smile.

There was hope for eating, and Old Man Xu went back with the bamboo basket on his back satisfied.

Mu Zhen plans to make a corn grits steamed fat sausage at noon, also called grits and grits dry rice, which Mu Zhen liked to eat very much when she was a child.

Because the fat intestines were still soaked in salt water, it was a little troublesome to make, so the other Di Muzhen didn't look at it and hurried home.

He Laosan took a bit of a lot of work this time, it took about a month, and I heard that a shop was opened in the town to buy these things.

At Mu Zhen's insistence, He Laosan is now wearing gloves and can get used to working freely. It's just that a pair of gloves will rot in four or five days, which makes He Laosan very reluctant.

It's not that I'm reluctant to make this cloth, but I'm reluctant to work so hard for him like this. After Mu Zhen knew his thoughts, she opened the cabinet for him to see.

In the dilapidated cabinet, with twenty or thirty pairs of brand-new gloves, he looked at Mu Zhen as if he was offering a treasure, and asked, "How is it, so much is enough for you to spoil, right?" ”

He Laosan couldn't help choking his throat, firmly hugged Mu Zhen into his arms, and said softly: "Enough, enough." ”

When Mu Zhen came back, she saw Xiao Baozi learning to weave baskets with He Laosan decently, I don't know if he can weave it or not, but the posture is decent.

As soon as he saw Mu Zhen coming back, Xiao Baozi happily shouted "Mother", and said as if offering treasure: "Mother, look, I am weaving baskets, what will my mother do when she goes uphill, I will take Yiqing with me, I can help my mother." ”

When he was at Old Man Xu's house, he surrounded Old Man Xu all day long, learned to recognize medicinal herbs, listened to Old Man Xu talk to him about some medical theories, and now he is learning this family with He Laosan, looking at Xiao Baozi's studious appearance, Mu Zhen's heart is thinking that next year it will be time for Xiao Baozi to go to school.

"This is the first time a bag has been knitted, right? Why don't you think about making one for your mother, but about making it up for yourself? "Isn't that what the average child thinks?

The movements in the little bun's hand did not stop, and he replied with his head buried in his head: "Because Yiqing's hands are not as energetic as his father, and the big ones are useless, so Yiqing will make a small one for himself, and when the time comes, when the mother wants to work, Yiqing can accompany the mother." ”

Xiao Baozi's words were beyond Mu Zhen's expectations, although they were not ordinary children's thoughts, but I have to say that Xiao Baozi's answer was even more touching.

"Okay, in order to thank the bag for her filial piety, my mother is going to make a delicious reward for lunch today."

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious again, Xiao Baozi immediately cheered, and even He Laosan couldn't help but look forward to it. In the burning eyes of the father and son, Mu Zhen began to prepare.

The stove used by Mu Zhen's family now is made of earth, which is very simple, and there is no place to exhaust smoke.

But at this time, Mu Zhen has to thank this stove. Because although the weather in March and April is not hot, these fresh meats must not be stored for a long time, but those pork offals are castrated with salt and then hung in front of the stove, and every time they are cooked, they will not be lightly damaged.

In the pork offal I bought last time, the pork liver has been eaten, and the soup of the pig's heart, lungs and pork belly is better, so today's lunch, Mu Zhen plans to eat the small intestine and large intestine and pork kidneys first.

There are also those pig bones sent by the butcher who have not finished eating, first wash the inner pot, chop the bones into small knots, let some oil be put later, put some chili peppers, stir-fry ginger, add water, put the bones into the pot, cut a few radishes to prepare, and wait for the bones to boil out of the white soup, put the radishes in the pot, and cook a bone radish soup.

I remember when I was a child, every time the family killed a pig, my grandmother would cook a pot of fresh pork ribs and radish soup, which tasted very delicious, even if it was just drinking soup, it was also very delicious.

Although there is very little meat on these ribs, it does not affect the taste, after all, the main thing is the bones.

Then take off the small intestine and large intestine and cut it into small circles of about one centimeter, then add a few spoonfuls of lard to the pot, put the cut small intestine and large intestine in the pot and refine, and add a few slices of ginger, pepper and chili.

There is a lot of oil in the small intestine and large intestine, if you eat it directly, you will feel very greasy, and there is a fishy smell.

"Auntie, what are you cooking, it's delicious, can you give me some?"

There is nothing closed in this thatched house, and the pot is boiling soup and refining oil, and there must be a fragrance wafting outside the house.

Hearing the voice, Mu Zhen looked up and saw that it was the big treasure of the boss of the upper room. After all, the child is still young, one year older than Xiao Baozi, so although he is more pampered by the Song family and the Li family, it is much better than the dog eggs of the Osmanthus family.

Children want to eat, no matter how you say it, Mu Zhen can't not give it. Xiaoxiao picked up a few pieces of fried intestines, put them on a small plate, and said with a smile: "Take it and eat it." ”

Seeing that Mu Zhen was so good at talking, Dabao said again: "Can I take it back and eat it, Erbao is also in the house." ”

In the eyes of most people, these things are not good, and Mu Zhen must not be able to look down on them if she wants to go to the room, so she nodded and agreed.

What Mu Zhen didn't expect was that she couldn't look down on Shangfang, but she didn't know that there would be such a fierce reaction.

"The third daughter-in-law, you short-lived, black-hearted, the old lady is delicious and delicious to serve you, and you give the old lady's grandson these things to feed the pigs."

Afraid that the Song family would rush over and stir up her own lunch, Mu Zhen took the initiative to come out, looked at the Song family without changing her face, and asked, "I don't know why Zhen Niang provoked her mother, and you want to curse me like this?" ”

Before Song could say anything, Li's voice came from the house again: "Dabao, what did you feed your brother?" Hurry up and get rid of it, I want to see which rotten person is feeding my baby these things. ”

"Mother, this is given to me by the third aunt, it's weird and delicious, it's so fragrant." Dabao didn't know why his mother was angry, but the things her aunt gave were really delicious, so she opened her mouth to explain.

As soon as Dabao said this, the Li family was even more angry, three steps and two steps, and scolded when he went out: "Mu Zhen, you have a short lifespan, if you are dissatisfied, you come to the old lady, what are you doing to my baby?" What is that, you give it to my baby? ”

The inexplicable anger of these two people made Mu Zhen feel very strange, and said: "Sister-in-law, why can't you eat this thing, besides, your baby came to my house and asked me for it, can you blame me?" ”

Hearing Mu Zhen's argument, Song was about to come over and beat Mu Zhen with both hands, and muttered in his mouth: "You are still reasonable, the old lady killed you disgusting things, it is something that contains pig, you give it to my grandson." ”

He Laosan heard that the Song family was going to beat Mu Zhen in the house, and he was very anxious, but he couldn't move on his feet, the more anxious he was, the more his head hurt.

Xiao Baozi heard that the Song family was going to do big Muzhen, and he also remembered lying on the door and staring tightly, looking at He Laosan for a while, and looking at Muzhen for a while, the anxious look on his face made the people who watched it very distressed.

The two people in the house remembered that Mu Zhen was not afraid at all when she saw the posture of the Song family, "Even if my mother beats me today, if you can't kill me, I will drag my injury to see the county master, if you kill me, my godfather and godmother, that is, Doctor Xu, will not be cheap for you." When the fourth brother took the autumn exam, if he passed the exam, when others saw that he had a murderer's mother, or a mother who had squatted in prison, they didn't know if the court would have this kind of person. ”

The horizontal is afraid of being ruthless, and the ruthless is afraid of dying, Mu Zhen's appearance of dragging the Song family on his back when he dies really scares the Song family.

Shengsheng stopped, glared at Mu Zhen hatefully, and said: "For my sake, the old lady will spare you today, and when the old lady's son becomes an official older than the surnamed Xu, see how the old lady cleans you up." Don't you like to grab food with dogs and pigs? After that, you don't expect the old lady to give you food every month, who is willing to help you, you go to whom, the old lady will not support you such a thing. ”

Whether the Song family gives food or not now, Mu Zhen doesn't care anymore, after all, it's not much better than the food that feeds the pigs. Now Mu Zhen also has a lot of silver in her hands, and she still has the money to buy that little grain and rice.

Seeing that the Song family angrily pulled Dabao to the house, and when Mu Zhen was about to leave, the Song family turned around and added, "The old lady is disgusted when she sees you now, and I don't expect you to burn fire and water in the future, if you dare to step into the old lady's house half a step, the old lady will break your legs." ”

There is no need to go to the room to work, which is actually a good thing for Mu Zhen, after all, in the face of the cynicism of the Song family, the Li family and He Fucui every day, Mu Zhen is also a little tired of coping, this result, but Mu Zhen can't ask for it.

Regarding Song's swearing, Mu Zhen ignored it, after all, this was not the time for her to talk about it.
