Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Poor Magpie Announces Good News
When Mrs. Chen heard the sound, she opened the door and came out to take a look, and when she saw this, she immediately hugged her son and cried loudly, "Oh, which day thunder hit my son!" Son, it doesn't matter if you want it, show it to your mother! ”
Sister Cao also hugged the old lady's arm and cried, "Mother, take care of the pillar!" He's going to kill us both! ”
"Pillars?" When Cao Pozi heard this, she frowned and asked, "You guys just went up the mountain?"
Sister Cao didn't wait for an answer, but Mrs. Chen had already shouted, "Old sister-in-law, although our family lives in your house, my son is the brother-in-law of Zhuzi, how can he say that he will fight?" If you don't give me an explanation for today's matter, I'll... I'll die in front of the gate! ”
She scolded so loudly that Second Sister Cao, Old Man Chen, and Old Man Cao all walked out of the house. When the old man Cao heard that his daughter and son-in-law had gone up the mountain, where could he care about what they were beaten, and immediately asked, "What did you do up the mountain?" Say it! ”
Second Sister Cao also pulled her sister and whispered to persuade her, "Eldest sister, my brother is not a grumpy person, did you annoy him by talking?"
Sister Cao shook off her sister's hand fiercely and scolded: "You dead girl with no conscience, you have already been bought by that little vixen!" Your brother-in-law is going to be killed, and you're still eccentric! ”
Second Sister Cao pursed her lips aggrievedly, and wanted to persuade her again, but was pulled aside by the old lady.
Sister Cao'er thought that she was taking advantage of it, and cried out louder: "The fool who has no heart and eyes in the pillar, that little fox spirit is corrupting the silver day by day, and he doesn't care." I also feel sorry for him, so I want him to pass on my kid to his name, and when he gets old, he will have something to rely on. Who knew that he didn't appreciate it at all, and threw the dick into the tree! Woo, Dad, Mother, you don't give me this anger today..."
The more the old man Cao listened, the darker his face became, and he didn't wait for his daughter to finish speaking, and he stepped forward and raised his hand to slap him twice: "I'll kill you with a heartless eye, how many times have I said it, don't go to the mountains, don't provoke them, why don't you listen!" Don't think I don't know what you've got in mind! ”
"Dad, I'm for the good of the pillar! Why are you hitting me too? I'm not alive anymore, I'm not alive anymore! Sister Cao rolled on the ground with her cheeks covered, and soon she was covered with residual snow and became like a mud monkey.
Mrs. Chen hugged her son, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but help, "In-laws, the eldest sister and son are also kind, why don't you do it indiscriminately." It's still a pillar..."
"Mother-in-law, let's hurry back to the house" Old man Cao interrupted her coldly, and said angrily, "If the pillar really wants to continue the incense with the stepchild, it is also the business of our Cao family, so I don't bother with my mother." ”
With that, he snorted heavily and hurried out the door. Mrs. Chen was choked so that her face was red and her neck was thick, and she really felt shameless at the end, so she hugged her son and cried again, and the old man Chen was also stuffy, and his face was extremely ugly.
When Sister Cao came to the house to talk, Mrs. Cao didn't agree very much, after all, Old Man Cao told her many times that she couldn't interfere in the affairs of her son and daughter-in-law, and she felt something vaguely in her heart.
At this time, seeing that her daughter didn't listen to her, Mrs. Chen's family also looked like they had been wronged, pointing out that Sang scolded Huai and asked the Cao family to make amends. She was also a little annoyed, and reached out to pull her little daughter back to the house, completely giving up the yard to the Chen family.
The Chen family didn't dare to make too much trouble, after all, they still had to rely on the Cao family to live, and finally gritted their back molars with hatred, and went back to the broken yard of Chen Er'er, and then closed the door and hid in the house and scolded.
Besides, Old Man Cao went up the mountain all the way up the mountain against the wind and snow, which provoked Dong Rong to think that he was seeking justice for Sister Cao, and quickly calculated how to excuse the pillar. But the old man said that his throat has been itchy recently, and he wants a few apples to suppress his cough at night.
Dong Rong guessed that the old man wanted to break away from her and talk to her son alone, so she took the small basket and went to the cellar to go around twice. Sure enough, by the time she returned, the old man had already left. She pulled the pillar and secretly inquired, but the pillar said that the old man urged them to have a child earlier.
Although Dong Rong didn't believe it in her heart, she felt that the old man couldn't have any malice, so she threw this matter to the back of her mind.
But Silly Zhu didn't know if he suddenly knew the joy of sharing a bed, or if he really wanted to carry out his father's instructions to the end, and from that day on, he had to toss almost every night before he would go to sleep. Dong Rong was so tired that she couldn't do it, even threatening and intimidating, in the end she reached an agreement with him. That is, when there are magpies chirping in the branches in the morning, the two of them can go to the joy of fish and water together in the evening. If the magpie refuses to come to the door one day to report the good news, the two will rest completely.
Although Silly Zhu was a little reluctant, he still agreed. Dong Rong thought that her little plan had succeeded, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there is only one magpie nest around the orchard, and there are definitely not many magpies who happen to land on the tree in front of the door to call early, so she can naturally rest for a few more days.
It's a pity that her abacus played well, but the magpie seemed to have suddenly gone crazy, and ran to her window every day and chirped loudly, "Quack, quack!" She was so angry that she really wanted to throw a shoe and smash this annoying stupid bird to death, but she could only think about it, because usually at that time, she didn't even have the strength to lift her fingers, and she just wanted to be lazy in the bed for another hour...
After another seven or eight days like this, Silly Zhu finally knew that he felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, so he gave Zhou Gong a salute every three or five days. The teenagers of the Jiazi group also breathed a long sigh of relief, the magpies in the surrounding mountains have been captured by them, if the master continues to toss, they will have to change their names to the bird catching brigade...
Dong Rong was afraid that he would be locked up in the house with the stupid pillar every day, so he moved his mind again, so he pulled him busy every day. Or take inventory of the inventory in the cave, or go down the mountain to the village to visit the homeless people, and even go to Aunt Cao's to bring some fruit to the old lady.
Aunt Cao is also a shrewd person, and she pulled Dong Rong to look at her for a long time, and then smiled so much that the corners of her mouth reached the root of her ears, and she said that the Cao family's incense was promising. Dong Rong was so ashamed that her face was almost comparable to a red cloth, but Silly Zhu smiled proudly.
Aunt Cao specially killed a fat goose for this reason, and stewed potatoes in a half-iron pot, so that everyone in the Wang family and Dong Rongxiao were oily at the corners of their mouths. So much so that when the two children sent their cousins and sisters-in-law out of the yard, they repeatedly shouted that they would come every few days.
The days lived so peacefully and peacefully, and on this day, Liu's sister-in-law went up the mountain to send a ball of sticky face, and gossiped with the owner by the way. Dong Rong heard her say that when Sister Cao's husband and wife entered the city, they were actually caught by the shopkeeper of a restaurant and hired them to work at a high price. Now that it has been three or four days, the shopkeeper is very generous, in addition to asking the two not to go home to visit relatives, food, drink and clothing are provided by the restaurant, and even the salary will be sent to the home every month, which is really thoughtful.
The people in the village were envious, and they went into the city to find a good job. Unfortunately, the snow on the mountain roads was flattened, but none of them succeeded. On the contrary, the old man Chen and Mrs. Chen were so proud that they couldn't lift their nostrils to catch the snow every day, as if their son did not go to work in the restaurant, but became the shopkeeper of the restaurant.
Dong Rong intuitively felt that this matter was a little strange, after all, there is no good thing in the world to eat pies for nothing. But after thinking about it, the couple was as disgusting as toads, and it was a good thing to stay away, so I ignored them.
Sister-in-law Liu has earned a lot of extra wages with Dong Rong this year, and the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation are much better than before. In previous years, the sticky noodles ground were pure bud flour, and the steamed bean buns were a little pantothenic. This year, it was mixed with a small half of japonica rice, and the taste was naturally better.
Dong Rong felt that she was in a good mood, found a big bowl of red bean paste ready to make bean paste steamed buns, rolled up her sleeves and began to fry fried cakes.
The peasant family is living in poverty, and if it is not for the harvest year or the family has a happy event, they will definitely not be willing to "go to oil" to eat. Sister-in-law Liu was also happy to see this, and smiled and helped back and forth.
Dong Rong remembered that her younger brother was going to come back from vacation tomorrow, so she asked Sister-in-law Liu to help chop the meat filling, and planned to fry some meatballs directly in the oil pan.
The two of them were busy talking and laughing like this, and soon, the vegetable oil in the iron pot was boiling hot, Dong Rong carefully put a small palm-sized dough cake along the edge of the pot, and small bubbles bubbled up on the oil noodles. The surface of the dough gradually dyed golden until it turned dark brown and floated out of the pan, and after a short wait, it was fished into a clay pot to control the oil.
Over there, Sister-in-law Liu had already reconciled the meat filling, and the balls were formed into balls the size of dates. She saw that the fried cakes were steaming hot, and they were very fragrant and delicious, so she couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
When Dong Rong heard the sound, she laughed and shouted to her to hurry up and taste the taste while it was hot, and Sister-in-law Liu was not polite, she directly picked one up and took a big bite, and then shouted while inhaling hotly, "It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, it's so delicious." ”
Dong Rong was also anxious to eat and taste when she heard her praise, so she threw all the meatballs directly into the pot and was about to turn around and speak. No, the meatballs didn't seem to like to take a hot oil bath, and they crackled almost as soon as they entered the pot, and the hot oil splashed everywhere.
Sister-in-law Liu was so shocked that Dong Rong ran out quickly, and at the end, she patted her chest and shouted vaguely: "What's wrong with the nest?" ”
Dong Rong was also frightened, she was the closest to the edge of the pot, if she was splashed on her face with hot oil, wouldn't she be disfigured. She took two big breaths of cold air, but when she looked up, she saw that Sister-in-law Liu was still holding half a fried cake in her mouth, so she couldn't help laughing.
Liu's sister-in-law Xu was frightened, blinking her eyes and not knowing what the owner was laughing at. It was at this time that the old lady who had not been seen for many days came over from the mountain road between the fruit forests panting. Dong Rong and Sister-in-law Liu didn't care about laughing, so they hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old lady to sit at the door of the stove to shelter from the wind, and asked, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”
Mrs. Yu gasped for a long time, and when she finally came to her senses, she said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." It is... My house is so dilapidated, it's snowing so cold these days, I'm thinking about moving in early. I can still help patrol the night when I give birth to a child at night, but my wife can't do anything else, so I can keep the gate. ”
(Sorry, it's late for today's update, and I'm busy contacting milk powder or something just when I get home, all kinds of trivial.) Tomorrow will be early, good night. )
