Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Stew Turmoil
Tang Tiezhu built the river dam in the town for nearly a month, and he had to take care of the joy of the engineering officer, he didn't talk much, worked hard, was not lazy, and didn't say something useless with others, after the dam was repaired, the official said to the Li Zheng of Tangjia Village: "I see that the two brothers of Tang Tiezhu in your village are working people, and in the future, the town will repair the river dam or other work, you can count the two of them, a few people are good at the beginning, but after a long time, some will show some bad habits, believe I don't say you can also ask, Wait for the time when no one is around. ”
Li Zheng is a person who understands a lot, and he immediately understood the words of the servant, and said with a smile: "Official, I understand what you mean, I will definitely find you a few people like Brother Tang Tiezhu next time,"
When Brother Tang Tiezhu finished packing up his tools and was about to go home with Li Zheng, Li Zheng was very enthusiastic about Brother Tang Tiezhu on the road, which made Brother Tang Tiezhu a little confused, and Li Zheng said with a smile: "The two officials who were in charge of the guards just now praised you in front of me, and said that if there is such work next year, let me bring you with me,"
Tang Tiezhu's brothers looked at each other, looked at each other and smiled, and when they arrived at home, the two of them went back to their own houses first, and gave their mother-in-law the money they earned during this time.
"Thirty-five wen a day, a total of twenty-six days, a total of nine hundred and ten wen, the official who supervised the work saw that my second brother and I were not lazy, and rewarded us with ninety wen, exactly one thousand," Tang Tiezhu scratched his head and smiled.
Li said distressedly: "Then how much work do you do, people will give you more money, you are not allowed to go next year, if there is danger, what if you leave our mother." Immediately thinking of the oolong incident that happened some time ago, my body couldn't help but tremble.
"I didn't do much, I just did my job, and I didn't talk much, maybe I just let the officials notice me and my second brother."
Finally in the daytime can see the face of the house, under the close look of his face black, the body is also emaciated, the more than half a month to get up early in the morning to run back and forth, work and tired, although he has earned a lot of money, but the whole family is counting on him to live, but can not be tired, distressed said: "Today I will go to the village to cut some meat back, to make up for you,"
How could Tang Tiezhu let the Li family spend money to sell meat, and said bluntly: "No, I eat well there, sometimes I can eat meat, don't spend that money." ”
Li Shi lost his temper for no reason and said, "It's not for you to eat, it's for the babies to eat, okay,"
Tang Tiezhu was spewed fire by the Li family, so he said stupidly: "Okay, okay, then I'll go buy meat, you stay at home." ”
"No, I'll just go by myself, you rest at home, and you're not allowed to do other work." Saying that, Tang Tiezhu was left alone in the house and walked out by himself.
Wood and stone came back from school, helped take Jiao'er, Tang Qing'er helped her mother, and after a while, the two made bean stewed meat, radish stewed potatoes, mixed with some salted cucumbers, it may be that Li's bean stew tasted too fragrant, so that Zhang's in the main house smelled it, she followed the smell and walked over, swallowed her saliva and said: "This old family has earned money to open meat, why don't you think about Grandpa Qing'er." ”
Li pretended not to hear, and Tang Qing'er said crisply: "Milk, when my mother cooks the dishes, I will bring you and grandpa a bowl,"
Zhang's thigh was happy: "Okay, then I'll wait for you, I won't cook that night," twisted his ass and returned to the main room step by step, and muttered: "Hmph, if you don't give it to me, I'll say in the village that you don't honor us, and then see what everyone thinks of you,"
Obviously, I forgot that I had a fight with Liu Sanniang some time ago, and my face was full of injuries, and I was embarrassed to go out for half a month.
Tang Qing'er watched her grandmother leave, turned her head and said to Li, who was mixing pickles: "Mother, why do you say that grandma is like this, she hates it more than the old Mrs. Wang in the village,"
This old Mrs. Wang is a widowed person, the people in the village say that she is Kefu's life, first married for three years to kill the head of the family, and finally pulled her son up, the son went to the town to sell vegetables, and I don't know who to provoke, was stabbed to death with a dagger, the old Mrs. Wang was stimulated now, and when she saw everyone, she said: "Hmph, don't you all say that I am the life of the Keren, then I will go to a house one day after that, so that everyone can get my mildew, and see if I can kill you." ”
The people in the village saw that Mrs. Wang was avoiding her, Tang Qing'er and Ben didn't believe in any fate, but they were a little embarrassed by Mrs. Wang's words, which should have won everyone's sympathy, but in the end everyone stayed away from her, it must have been the loss of husband and child that caused Mrs. Wang's mental problems, so when she went out to meet her, she also tried to avoid her.
Li patted his daughter: "Don't talk nonsense, why do you think so much at a young age,"
Tang Qing'er screamed out, Li didn't beat her hard at all, knew that she was pretending, didn't pay attention to her, continued the work in hand, waited for the dish to be ready, loaded a bowl for Tang Qing'er to send to the main room, and a big bowl for Sun's to send, and then began to set the table, and his family gathered around to eat.
Tang Tiezhu came home, lay on the kang for a while, and squinted, and waited for his mother-in-law to call him up, Fang knew that it was dark, and hurriedly got up and ran to the dining table, and saw that even the youngest Jiao'er in the family was sitting at the table, and after sitting at the dining table, he said with a happy grin: "My little padded jacket can eat on the table, come, Dad will clip you fast meat to eat," said and picked up the chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of lean meat for Tang Jiao'er.
After Li glanced at him, he took out the meat in Tang Jiaoer's bowl, put it in his bowl and said, "She is still young and can't eat lean meat, you can eat it yourself!" ”
Tang Qing'er's brothers and sisters smiled and said, "Daddy knows that he loves his sister, and he doesn't say that he will give us meat to eat,"
The five big and three rough men were red by the laughter of the babies, and stumbled and said, "Dad, I'll give you meat, hehe,"
After Li coughed, the babies didn't dare to laugh, and began to eat in a proper manner, Tang Tiezhu saw that his mother-in-law's anger had not disappeared, and he did not squeak and eat without squeaking, and when Li gave him a large piece of meat with three layers of flowers and three layers into the bowl, he ate it in one bite, swallowed it, and said to Li with a small feeling: "It's delicious, it's delicious, the meat that my daughter-in-law gave me is really delicious,"
The babies were eating with a smile, but after hearing their father finish speaking, they all laughed, Li couldn't help it, and also laughed out loud, Tang Tiezhu didn't know why the whole family laughed, looked up with his eyes, and finally looked at Tang Qing'er and said, "Girl, what are you laughing at?" ”
Tang Qing'er's cheeks hurt a little when she smiled, and she relieved her breath and said: "My brothers and I are laughing, looking at my mother's expression when I put meat on my father, as if I had made a mistake, and when you eat the meat, when you praise your mother for making it delicious, you are like a little baby begging for a reward,"
Tang Tiezhu also laughed with everyone when he heard this, and said, "Isn't it...... Ask for your mother's reward, are you right, daughter-in-law" winked at Li.
Li's anger had long since disappeared, and his face was just to scare him when he was eating, and when he said this, his face turned red and said, "The babies are still there, what are you talking about?" ”
Tang Qing'er was quick to speak, and said directly: "I understand, Daddy is apologizing to his mother." ”
"Yes, my daughter is smart, and my father is apologizing to your mother," Tang Tiezhu praised Tang Qing'er fiercely.
Li knocked the bowl with chopsticks and said, "Eat, hurry up and eat, don't make trouble,"
Resting at night, Li and Tang Tiezhu said that they had trouble with Zhang's a few days ago, and also told the head of the house that Zhang's was going to take a break, and said helplessly: "It seems that we have to move out to live, otherwise my mother-in-law will always have something to do with us, we just have a thousand reasons to refute, after a long time, I can't help my mother's nonsense, and then there are many people in the village who are pointing at us behind our backs." ”
Tang Tiezhu sighed and said, "I know, there is still a lot of money in the family now,"
"Counting the one tael you earned today, there are still more than three taels of silver in the family," Li told Tang Tiezhu frankly about the family's property.
"There is only so much silver at home, and there are almost more than 30 taels of silver scattered in the village to buy a land number and build a house, and we only have more than three taels in our hands, and the babies are getting bigger and bigger, and the wood and stone are still studying, alas! Thinking of this, I don't know when I will be able to move out," Tang Tiezhu hung his head when he thought of these questions, and he was weak to speak.
Li Shi hurriedly comforted: "Isn't there still a jujube wine pickled more than a month ago at home, and when it comes to the Chinese New Year, we will take it out and sell it, maybe we can really make money?" When we got the money, we moved out and started a new house,"
"Where can it be so easy to sell for money," Tang Tiezhu said and hugged Li's waist and said: "Let you suffer with me, alas, my little sister will get married in a month, and we have to prepare makeup money for her as a brother and sister-in-law, although she is not listened to when she is at home, but after all, she is my sister, and she will be married this time, and when she comes back in the future, she will be less,"
Just spend money to avoid right and wrong! If you don't appease her before getting married, maybe you will chew something in front of Zhang's family, and then it will be the mother-in-law who suffers, so it is better to send her happy to get married.
"Well, I understand, it will definitely make your brother's face shine," Li said angrily, thinking that this sister-in-law who is a man is going to get married, I am really relieved, even if it is worth adding more makeup money, her personality is exactly the same as Zhang's, and she is a master who cannot suffer.
Tang Qing'er also couldn't sleep in her own room, what her father said after the meal, she listened to it word for word, and prayed in her heart that this jujube wine must be brewed successfully, and it would be sold for money if it succeeded, and it would be concocted for more than a month, and the taste would almost come out, let my father and mother open a can tomorrow and taste it, how it tasted, thinking about it, I fell asleep unconsciously.
