The old lady carefully looked at Dong Rong's expression as she spoke, looking worried that she would not accept her. Although it was night when Dong Rong went to Yu's house to save people, she had also seen the Yu family's house. Yu Guisheng himself is a carpenter, how can he not even clean up his own house. Presumably, their mother and son must have been gossiped about by the villagers because of the elopement, and they had no choice but to move over earlier to hide and clean up.

This is something that should have been done in the first place, and it makes no difference if you move early or late, so Dong Rong smiled and said, "Okay, my aunt came over earlier, and I also have someone to talk to on weekdays." ”

Mrs. Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the sky and hurried home, "I have to go back quickly, the son doesn't know that I'm going out, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry at this time." ”

In such bad weather, how could Dong Rong let the old lady flow again and then go back in the heavy snow, so she quickly stopped her, turned around and went back to the stove to pick up two fried cakes. At the end, it was handed over to Liu's sister-in-law, and she was instructed to keep one for her own family, and one to send to honor the Cao family's in-laws.

Sister-in-law Liu carefully carried the fried cake back to the village, and soon Steward Zhang also drove the carriage to stop at the gate of the orchard. Dong Rong remembered that she lived in Meihua's mother's house last time, and when she came back, she borrowed someone's new scarf, so she went to the cellar to pick up a basket of apples, pomegranates, dates and other things, plus a small cloth bag of japonica rice, which was considered a thank you gift.

Mrs. Yu heard that these delicious foods were given to Mei Niang's family, but she sincerely thanked Mei Niang, and she was not jealous or dissatisfied at all because she went back empty-handed. Dong Rong liked this simple and open-minded old lady more and more, and sent her into the carriage and began to think about what to prepare for the mother and wife who were about to move.

As the old saying goes, a broken family is worth a thousand yuan, but you can't eat hot rice with less firewood. Although the Yu family moved from forty miles away, it was impossible to pull over a lot of sundries and firewood stacks. Living like this, it is inevitable that there will be some unpleasantness, so it is better to prepare some money for Mrs. Yu to figure out and add by herself.

Mrs. Yu didn't know if she was too impatient, or if she was really fed up with the ridicule and contempt in the eyes of the villagers, so she hurriedly took her son to pick up the family's foundation, and moved directly with Steward Zhang's carriage.

Dong Rong saw from a distance that the carriage stopped at the door of the chicken house and began to unload things one by one, so she grabbed the stupid pillar who had just returned from Mr. Feng and went down the mountain.

Yu Guisheng Xu is these days really realized that he was hot-headed, and what a strict consequence he had brought to his family, his originally tall and strong body had lost a lot of weight, but fortunately, his eyes had become clearer than before. After helping the old lady into the house and sitting, she carried her luggage back and forth alone, and Steward Zhang couldn't help but nod her head. Men, sometimes you have to fall a few times to learn to be sensible.

When Dong Rong and his family arrived, the Yu family's luggage had already moved into the house. Mrs. Yu took her son to respectfully salute Dong Rong's little couple, and Dong Rong accepted it generously. In the past, the two families had a very good personal relationship, but in the future, Yu Guisheng was a handyman in the orchard, and the status of master and servant was determined, and some rules could not be messed up.

Dong Rong helped Mrs. Yu up with her own hands, and didn't ask why they were in such a hurry to move here, but first took out five taels of silver and put it in the old lady's hand, and said with a smile, "Auntie, this is a settling-in fee for your mother and son, if you see what the family lacks, let the child go to the city to buy it back." Of course, this silver was not given for free, but it was counted together with the twenty taels of silver, and it was later paid with the wages of the son. ”

Mrs. Yu originally wanted to refuse, but as soon as she heard this, she accepted it with peace of mind. After all, the two of them have just arrived, and the Chu family is going to send their daughter over in a few days, although this matter is a little embarrassing and embarrassing, but no matter what the Yu family says, they have to set up two tables of banquets, and there is no shortage of silver tribes inside and out.

Dong Rong saw that the old lady was not polite, and her heart became more and more happy, and told her to let the son go up the mountain to say something if she had something, and then without delaying the mother and son to settle down, they went back hand in hand with the pillar.

The mother and son of the Yu family gratefully sent them to the foot of the mountain, and then returned to the house to pick up things. These three chicken houses were used to store firewood, rice, oil and salt, and later the patrol handymen occasionally settled here to rest, and the fireworks and popularity have not stopped, and the houses are naturally well cared for, not empty and cold.

Mrs. Yu was busy arranging the things, and Yu Guisheng cut some wild grass and dry shrubs around the orchard to burn the kang hot, and the mother and son finally sat down after being busy, and their hearts felt much more relaxed. Mrs. Yu inevitably nagged her son not to cause trouble in the future, after all, they can't meet a noble person like the owner every time.

Yu Guisheng naturally responded, not mentioning how the mother and son planned to live a new life. It was only said that Dong Ping was finally looking forward to the college holiday on this day, and almost walked out with Xizi as soon as the academy opened. Steward Zhang was also a discerning person, set up the carriage early and waited outside the door, and after receiving the master and servant, he happily sent them directly to the orchard.

Mr. Yang was afraid that his disciples would delay their schoolwork because of their travel, so he was very strict this month, and Dong Ping finally went home to see his sister and brother-in-law.

Dong Rong was also smiling with joy, and while listening to her brother's words, she pushed a small half plate of meatballs towards him. Kiko also took a bowl in her hand, and sat at the door with a smile and ate it.

Dong Ping didn't eat breakfast, so he looked forward to going home to add oil and water to his stomach. As a result, the small half plate of meatballs was really a little small, and I quickly ate them all one by one. I had to ask for it again, but the kitchen was gone.

Dong Rong glared at the stupid pillar with disgust, and secretly blamed this guy for not sleeping well in the middle of the night, not to mention that he had a sore back, and he also ate most of the meatballs reserved for his younger brother as a supper.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's shy and angry appearance, Silly Zhu loved it very much, and said, "Brother Ping is back, buy a pig to kill." ”

Before Dong Rong responded, Xizi was already cheering, "Kill the pig, kill the pig and eat meat!" Dong Ping also looked at his sister with a blank eye, and it was obvious that Tongxizi really wanted to kill pigs and make a scene.

Dong Rong originally ordered a fat pig with the villagers, thinking that he would kill it as soon as the weather was cold, so he didn't have to buy pork this winter. Otherwise, in addition to her, even the second sister Cao is a carnivore, and every few days she has to be brought back from the city by Steward Zhang, which is very troublesome.

It was snowing heavily on the past two days, and the timing was right. It's just that where to kill the pig, she has some difficulties. If it was in the orchard, she hated to make the orchard smell of blood, and secondly, she didn't want the villagers to talk about her and the pillar's unfilial piety. But if it is placed in the Cao family, with the stingy temper of Mrs. Cao, it is estimated that it will be a favor to leave her a pork leg, and the most important thing is that Dong Ping is not easy to join in the fun.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of money at home now, so I can simply buy two more pigs. One end of the family, one end of the Cao family, and the last one was sent to the broken yard to be killed and half of it was given to each family in the village, which was regarded as a thank you to everyone for letting go of the house to settle the homeless. The rest was stewed to improve the food of the homeless people, and they drank sweet potato bud porridge every day, although they did not die of hunger, but there was no oil and water. The adults are okay, but the half of the old people and children are sad.

With such a decision, Dong Rong sent Xizi to take the silver to find Zhao Qingshan and Liu's sister-in-law. The two of them were naturally overjoyed when they heard that the main family was going to kill the pigs, not to mention the generous temper of the Edong family, they would definitely be left to eat a good meal, and they would not even bring a piece of meat back to the family to beat their teeth.

Zhao Qingshan immediately went to the house of the pig raiser in the village to inquire, and after paying the silver, he called someone to catch the pig and tie it into a dumpling, and then found a wooden pole with a thick arm and lifted it directly and sent it to various places.

A few days ago, Mrs. Cao took Mrs. Chen to live in her son's house, and now that the family was clean, she pulled her little daughter to close the door and pick up the dowry she had saved. Seeing those fine silks, delicate jewelry, and listening to her daughter talk about the various care that her daughter-in-law took care of her, Mrs. Cao rarely had a smile on her face.

At this moment, Zhao Qingshan brought someone to send fat pigs. Mrs. Cao was so happy that her eyebrows flew, how many years did she marry into the Cao family, it was rare to buy a few catties of pork every New Year's Day, but I didn't expect to be able to kill a fat pig and eat it slowly this year, this is simply a good thing that I have never thought of!

Someone in the neighborhood heard the pig cry and came out to take a look, and when they saw this, they were all envious, and they shouted, "Auntie, you are really a good life, your son and daughter-in-law are too filial, and they have sent the New Year's pig before the New Year." ”

"That's right, auntie. Hurry up and kill the pig and freeze it, and you will be able to eat a greasy mouth every day this winter. ”

"Auntie, do you want to help, I'll also ask for a bowl of broth to drink."

Cao Lao'er heard the news and came back from outside just when he heard this, and he was also smiling so much that the wrinkles on his face were piled up in one place, and he beckoned to his neighbors and said, "With such a big pig, how can everyone have a bowl of meat to eat." It just so happens that the sun is still warm at this time, so let's boil water and kill. ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and poured into the courtyard, the older generation all accompanied the old man Cao to sit in the hall and drink tea, the young descendants sharpened their knives and found boards, and the little daughters-in-law helped Mrs. Cao prepare pots and bowls and boil hot water, and the Cao family was really unprecedentedly lively for a while.

And in the broken yard of the village head, it was even more lively at this time, and it almost turned the sky upside down. When the homeless people heard that the main family had bought fat pigs and wanted to share them with stewed meat, almost everyone thought it was a joke. Later, when he saw the fat pig carrying into the door, Zhao Qingshan ordered a few more people to prepare to kill the pig, and everyone finally believed that this was true.

The children are simple, they don't think too much, they clap their hands happily and dance and laugh. But the older men were silent, and at last they all bowed to the orchard, and some of the women even had red eyes. In such a cold winter, their group of miserable and lowly people who are not even as good as the cats and dogs of the rich and noble, actually have a lively time to kill New Year's pigs and eat meat. It's not a pig, it's proof that they're alive as people! This is the great kindness of the Lord's house!

Dong Rong didn't know that a pig helped her family completely subdue the hearts of many homeless people, and even this kindness made her richly rewarded in the crisis a few years later. At this moment, she was sitting on Mrs. Yu's big kang listening to the crowd killing pigs outside, Sister-in-law Liu and Meihua were busy going in and out, boiling the hot water in the cauldron, Steward Zhang took Yu Guisheng and a few men in charge of patrolling today to pour down the fat pig and bleed, quickly shaved the pig's hair, and then disemboweled and split the pork with a slightly clumsy disembowelment.
