Chapter 37: Godmother, Mother-in-law
After Mu Zhen arrived home, she smiled and took out the foodies that Xiao Baozi sold to him, and told He Laosan the good news that he had successfully sold Chunya today. As for the farce that he encountered when he came back just now, he kept his mouth shut, as if it had never happened.
This made He Laosan feel a little bottomless, and after looking at Mu Zhen's pretty face several times, he explained: "Zhenzhen, you don't take that matter to heart, I promise that I don't have any dislike for you." ”
I haven't been at home for a long time, and the two of them have made a mess of the house. After Mu Zhen came back, she took a sip of water and began to clean up the house. When I heard He Laosan's voice, I felt a different kind of warmth in my heart.
Turning to look at He Laosan's solemn expression, he couldn't help but feel funny, "It's not a big deal, since you want to live a good life together, I will naturally believe you." Don't say you've been protecting me all the time, even if you're not in front of me, I won't believe what others say. ”
He Laosan looked at Mu Zhen's gentle eyebrows and eyes, and his heart was extremely ironing. A sentence of I believe actually made him feel like an old husband and wife who have walked hand in hand for half a life.
Mu Zhen was doing housework while chatting with He Laosan about family life, and when she heard Mu Zhen say that she had bought a lot of seeds to grow vegetables, He Laosan thought for a moment and said: "The land I plant all the year round is on the house, besides, even if you want to grow vegetables, the house will not give the land." If not, I'll go and see where there's wasteland in a while, and open a piece of it. ”
Hearing He Laosan's words, Mu Zhen was busy with her hands and said: "This is also a problem, it is definitely not possible to open the land, and the solar term is not early, besides, I buy more seeds, if I open the land, it will be too late." ”
For a while, the husband and wife had no idea.
"Mother, I'm back."
The little bun that was sent to Aunt Xu's house, before she entered the house, called Mu Zhen.
Because there are more things to buy, Mu Zhen asked Xiao Baozi to sue Aunt Xu to help send some important ones back first, and the others can be taken slowly.
When Ah Niu came to deliver something, Aunt Xu followed, and happened to meet the Song family who came back from the field with a hoe.
These two days are not busy farming, and most of the family has let He Laosan do it alone. Generally, if there is a job to find He Laosan, as long as he doesn't help, the Song family will let He Laosan do the work, after all, this money comes faster.
is a little bit of meticulous work, He Mingzhong leads the Song family and He Fulai, and he can't waste much strength.
"Yo, it's not a year's errand, it's not a festival, what are you carrying this big bag for?"
Aunt Xu originally planned to ignore the Song family, but her pantothenic acid words were all taken, and Aunt Xu couldn't help but squeak, and said with a smile: "I don't have anything, it's just that my family went to the town to buy too many things, and I came to give them some." ”
"Heh, is this money burned? Bought too much of these? Sure enough, there is a son who is a county lord, but it is different. "It's not the first time that Aunt Xu's family has helped He Laosan's family, so when the Song family sees that they are good to He Laosan's family, they will be a little hostile.
"Alas, there is no way, the old man in the house has a bit of craftsmanship, and he has earned money in his later life, so we are not too detailed. But more, I only give it to the person I like, and if I don't like it, I'd rather dump him than do it well. Besides, I saw that Zhenniang's girl had a good temperament, so I thought she was a goddaughter, and it was nothing to send this little thing. Pretending not to see Song's darkened face, he continued: "My family Enhao is still quite angry, and the old sister-in-law Lao remembers it every day. But your family is not bad, you will try it in the county this fall, right? It seems that my family Eun Hao is still the examiner. Oh, it's not too early this day, I'll go first, I'll say hello to you first, and I hope that Fulin High School will also earn a light for our Pingyao Village. ”
Song saw Aunt Xu walking away and snorted fiercely.
He Fu looked at the bag of things that Ah Niu was carrying, and said excitedly to the Song family: "Mother, I see that the old woman just took a lot of good things for the third child, you will come over to the third child in a while." ”
He Mingzhong also said on the side: "That's right, Xu Laohan has a few dollars in his hand, and the things he gave are not far behind, you go and take it and we will use it, it's not a good thing for the third child." ”
As soon as He Mingzhong's words fell, Song raised the hoe in his hand and hit He Mingzhong a few times, "Is the old lady less for you to eat or less for you to drink?" Are your eyelids so shallow? You are deaf, didn't you hear the woman just say, our Fulin Autumn Examination is his son as an examiner? You're against her now, and if she sues her son, won't it hurt Fulin? I said, why are you so bored? Like a pig. Saying that it was not enjoyable, he pinched He Mingzhong a few more times, and then he resisted the hoe and walked back.
He Fulin saw that his father was cleaned up, and he didn't dare to speak, so he carried a hoe and followed behind He Mingzhong in a sneering manner.
Hearing the cry of the little bun, Mu Zhen and He Laosan were already standing at the door to greet them, and when they saw the broken basket in Aunt Xu's hand, they hurriedly stepped forward to take it and said, "Godmother, just let Ah Niu help send it over, why did you personally run to deliver something?" He Laosan stepped forward to take the things on Ah Niu's shoulder, and said, "It's hard work, Ah Niu." ”
Aunt Xu waved her hand indifferently and said, "It's not too heavy, I'll help get some, and let Ah Niu send them all to you at once." By the way, when I was loading something for you, I saw that you bought a lot of rapeseeds, which you plan to eat yourself? That's not what you need. ”
"I'm going to buy it and plant it for sale, but the two of us don't have the land to plant, so we're still trying to figure out a way with the third child." After all, Aunt Xu has some prestige in this village, so maybe she hasn't helped them a little yet.
"Do you want better? Our family has more than a dozen acres, but in the early years did not live in the house, the land was planted by others, I left more than an acre of vegetable garden has not had time to plant, you plant that land first, and then I will find someone else to take it back. "Aunt Xu really likes Mu Zhen, so she is good to Mu Zhen.
After thinking about it, Mu Zhen said: "Anyway, I buy a lot of seeds, and when the time comes, the land will be planted with miscellaneous points, and if the godmother wants to eat vegetables, she will pick them herself." Other lands, if there are them, it would be fine, forget if they don't, the third child and I are thinking of other ways. ”
These two days are not the time to be busy with farming, and there are no crops to be planted, "Or I will go back and have a look first, and tell people as soon as possible, maybe there is still land that has not been planted." ”
As she spoke, she was about to get up and leave, but before Mu Zhen could hurriedly open her mouth to stay, Aunt Xu turned around and said: "I see that you bought so many pig bones and miscellaneous parts, and you didn't have anything to use, so I brought you a piece of bacon in the house. ”
Speaking of pork bones and miscellaneous, this was actually bought by Mu Zhen on purpose.
At that time, when he went to the East Gate Tower to wait for Uncle Guigen, he happened to cut some fresh meat, and Mu Zhen wanted to know what the price of pork was, so he followed.
The price of each part is different, maybe everyone usually does more body work, and fatty meat is hungry when eating oil and water, so the price of fatty meat is more expensive than lean meat.
Fat meat is 20 wen a catty, lean meat is 15 wen a catty, lard is 18 wen a catty, and pork fat is 16 wen a catty. Other miscellaneous pieces, such as pork liver, pig heart, and pork belly, are all ten yuan a pair, and the small intestine and large intestine are five yuan a pair.
And the pig bones, which were loved by Mu Zhen in his previous life, didn't even want money.
Butchers generally go to kill pigs for others at the end of the year, and when the time comes, it is not safe to walk at night, so the general butcher feeds the dogs, and the dogs will lead the way when the time comes, so they will not be afraid of those things.
Therefore, pig bones that no one wants are generally used by butchers to feed dogs.
Mu Zhen naturally didn't believe those statements, but she just felt that it was ruined to feed all the dogs with such good bones. These pig offal, all of which are today, were all bought.
The butcher was an acquaintance of Uncle Guigen, and seeing that Mu Zhen bought so much, although it was not worth much, it added up to forty yuan, so he gave Mu Zhen a pair of pig kidneys by the way.
Originally, Mu Zhen planned to ask for pig bones, but since the boss gave her a waist, she couldn't ask for it anymore, so she had to let the butcher sell it to her.
The butcher is also shrewd, his business is good, there are more than ten or twenty catties of bones every day, every time the dog can't eat it, it's a waste to lose it, it's better to give it to Mu Zhen to sell personal favors, just say what kind of meat you want when the time comes, and then buy it from him.
couldn't shirk it, so Mu Zhen had no choice but to take it. This butcher is real, and the price is fair, even if you come to this house again and again, you can buy it.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Xu was reluctant to sell pork to eat, and deliberately sent a piece of bacon to her. Aunt Xu's care made Mu Zhen feel very warm, and since she began to come to this other world, Aunt Xu and her wife have given them a lot of help.
"Mother, no, this is what I bought to eat, these things are strange and delicious, so I bought them. Pork bones are boiled in soup, drinking them is good for the body, if you don't believe it, go back and ask your father, he must know. I can't even ask for this meat, I just gave me a piece last time, and I haven't finished eating it yet, and then I will tell our family to eat all the meat in your house. ”
It's a pro or not, but it's a pro. Aunt Xu is so good to herself, she should call her a mother, and in this other world, she doesn't have a father, the father of the deity, which can basically be ignored, then treat Old Man Xu and Aunt Xu as their own father, which can be regarded as their kindness to their family.
Mu Zhen's mother, listening to Aunt Xu's heart, put the basket that Mu Zhen stuffed in her hand on the table again, and said: "Even if you can eat it, you can keep it, it's still early, how many meals can you eat this bit of meat?" Our family killed two pigs last year, and your father and I can't eat them, so how can we eat them when they grow into adult worms next year? ”
In the end, she couldn't, so Mu Zhen had to take it.
"Okay, I'll be cheeky and take it. If my mother doesn't know how to eat these things I bought, when I am ready to send them to my mother, you and my father will try them, and if you like to eat them, I will make a meal from time to time. ”
There is no suitable thing at home, Mu Zhen does not plan to make a hot pot to eat for the time being, but other ways to eat it are also good. Besides, you have to eat hot pot while cooking, and the location at home is so small that you can't sit down.
With Mu Zhen in mind, Aunt Xu didn't sit longer, and in response to Mu Zhen's words, she took Ah Niu away.
