Chapter Ninety-Seven: It Was For Silver

When the curtain opened, revealing the dumpling filling inside, Chen's face was expressionless, Xiao Qian's smiled, and Qian's face darkened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Stuffed pork with chives.

It can be said that half of the pot is filled with pork, mixed with chopped green onions, so that there are at least two catties of pork.

Xiao Qian's eyebrows were raised, and his smile was extraordinarily bright, "Her second aunt, how about it, you can eat more of my dumplings later, it's better than the cabbage and cabbage-filled dumplings, right?" ā€

Qian laughed twice, "Her third aunt is really rich." ā€

Xiao Qian shook his head, looking very modest, but the smile that was about to overflow from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows made Qian's chest clenched, "Where, our family is not like his second aunt's family, these two catties of pork are saved by our family tightening their belts, isn't this a New Year, let everyone try it." ā€

The more she pretended to be sensible, the more Qian hated it, especially when she looked at the half pot of pork in front of her, she felt like she had been slapped in the face.

She turned around and walked out of the kitchen, and just as Gu Erzhuang also came out of the house, Qian said to him, "Go home and bring me the pot of pork I stewed last night!" ā€

Gu Erzhuang looked at her with some puzzlement, "What's the matter, didn't you mean ......?"

"What do I say? Haven't I changed my mind, aren't you happy to give you Lao Tzu and your brother to eat? Qian was angry with Xiao Qian, his chest was blocked, and he was not angry when he spoke.

Gu Erzhuang glared at her, although he was a little annoyed by her words, but thinking that it was not easy for the Qian family to be able to take out the meat, he didn't care about these little things, responded happily, and hurriedly went out.

"Losers!" Qian muttered angrily, then twisted his waist and re-entered the kitchen.

Gu Erzhuang came back soon, with a pot of stewed meat in his hand, Qian was happy now, and when he entered the kitchen, he was the most high, and the angry little Qian didn't speak for a long time.

Chen was still silent, but she wanted to be invisible, and others didn't give her this opportunity, Xiao Qian glanced at the dumplings that had been wrapped with a curtain on the stove, and smiled weirdly, "Sister-in-law's action is really fast, and the feelings are wrapped up in the morning." ā€

"It's going to be okay at noon, so I'm done." Chen's hand movements did not stop, and soon he pinched a round dumpling out.

"Hehe, I don't know what kind of stuffing my sister-in-law's dumplings are?" Qian also answered.

Chen glanced at the two of them and said, "Shepherd's egg." ā€

"Isn't that a stuffing of wild vegetables?" Xiao Qian looked disgusted.

"When you cook it for a while, you must separate it, I don't like the taste, don't cook it in a pot." It is rare for the Qian family to have an opinion with the little Qian family.

Chen's face was said to be hot, he lowered his head and didn't speak, Xiao Qian felt that she was weak-hearted when she saw this, and said coldly, "I said sister-in-law, this is a person, you can't take silver too seriously." You must always have a good meal during the New Year, this poor year, poor year, and the next year will be poor. ā€

"Hmph, what do you know, our sister-in-law is the best person to live. We are all strong outsiders, how can we be like my sister-in-law's family, which looks shabby, but is actually rich. Qian glanced at Xiao Qian, and said with a smile.

If Xiao Qian's heard this on weekdays, he would immediately quarrel with Qian's, but today he smiled, "Look at my brain, I really can't speak." How can I forget, a while ago, my sister-in-law's family made a lot of money selling persimmons. ā€

"This is a pity for us poor people, Brother Jin can't get any money if he wants to cut clothes for him this New Year."

Qian Shi glanced directly at Xiao Qian's as he spoke, and Xiao Qian's naturally took over, "Sister-in-law, since your family is living a good life, you can't help but take care of our poor family, those few taels of silver ......"

The movements of Chen's hands paused, and she realized what these two people were singing and harmonizing today.

At that time, when the family was divided, the second and third rooms did not ask for the house, and it was agreed that the big house would pay them two families.

Two bedrooms and eight taels, three bedrooms and six taels.

Because Gu Dazhuang's family does not have much income, it was agreed that the silver would be paid off in three years, and this year's silver had already been sent, but today's words of the Qian family and the Xiao Qian family were clearly urging her to repay the debt.

"Who are the eldest brother and sister-in-law, how can there be a shortage of our few taels of silver." Qian glanced at Xiao Qian and continued to smile, "I guess, if we don't mention this, my sister-in-law will mention it to us later." ā€

Chen's face was flushed by the two of them, and after a while, he said, "You two wait, I'll come when I go." ā€

With that, he got up and washed his hands, then went out of the kitchen and went straight into the house.

"Then let's wait for my sister-in-law to come back and make dumplings together." Qian's voice floated behind him.

Gu Siniang sat under the eaves, because there was no wind, it was not cold, where did Gu Wuniang bow her head and pull her fingers, "There are ten birds in the tree, take a slingshot to shoot down one, isn't it wrong that there are nine left?" ā€

As soon as she wanted to answer, she saw Chen come out of the kitchen with her head down, and then hurried into her room, thinking in her heart, her mother should not be squeezed again.

"Siniang, where are you going?" Gu Wuniang suddenly saw Gu Siniang getting up to leave, and hurriedly asked.

"Oh, I'll go into the house and find my mother, you wait for me." She said and smiled, looked at Gu Wuniang's ten fingers, and said, "There should be no birds on that tree, the birds are frightened, naturally they are all gone, how can there be nine still waiting to be beaten?" ā€

Gu Wuniang lowered her head and pondered for a while, and suddenly figured it out, her eyes were full of surprise, "Siniang, you are so smart...... Before the last word was finished, she saw that Gu Siniang had already entered the house.

Chen sat on the edge of the kang, and the table in front of her was piled with bits and pieces of silver and copper plates, and she was counting them with her head down.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Gu Siniang pushed the door in, and couldn't help but ask when she saw this.

"It's nothing, you can go out and play." Chen replied, without raising his head.

Gu Siniang immediately frowned when she heard this, Chen's voice was delicate, and she was often soft-voiced on weekdays, and her words had an obvious nasal sound, and she couldn't hear it.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" She ran to Chen's side, looked up at her, and sure enough, she saw that her eyes were red, as if she had just shed tears.

"Is it the second aunt, the third aunt, the two of them are bullying you again, I'll scold them."

Gu Siniang suddenly became angry, turned around and was about to go out, but was pulled back by the Chen family, "What are you going to do." ā€

"Mother, don't cry, it's not good to cry during the New Year." Gu Siniang looked at Chen's appearance, and she couldn't help but feel sad.

"I don't blame your second aunt for this, it's useless." Chen touched Gu Siniang's head, "Don't worry about it, go out." ā€

"Mother, how can I rest assured that you are like this, you can tell me, maybe I can give you an idea." Gu Siniang shook Chen's hand, half coquettish and half serious. (To be continued.) )
