Back home, Lin Xiuxiu put the quilt cover on the bamboo pole to dry. Now the weather is fine, as long as the afternoon, you can get clean.

At this time, Xiaohua walked over, "Xiuxiu, look, is there anything else I need to do?" I looked at it and said, "Go and boil the water for them to drink, after all, they are very thirsty when they work." Xiaohua listened to what I said, and hurried over to start boiling water.

Lin Xiuxiu was not busy, and was going to go to the county to buy some things for tomorrow's Shangliang, although my brother and I should keep filial piety, but Shangliang is a big event, and it can't be too reduced.

When she arrived in the county seat, Lin Xiuxiu went to a place that specialized in buying this kind of thing, where it was uncomfortable to make things for the dead. When I got to that place, I quickly bought some paper, candles, incense, and some runes. After I bought all the things, I quickly left to get a place, I couldn't help that place was too eerie.

Looking at the things in my hand, I went to buy two boxes of pastries and four pots of wine, but I couldn't put it in the basket, so Lin Xiuxiu stopped buying and began to walk towards the village.

When I got home, I quickly asked Xiaohua to make dinner, and I began to walk to the king's butcher's house. When I arrived at the Wang butcher's house, I bought all the meat left over from his house, about 20 catties of pork belly, about 10 catties of pork ribs, and about 2 catties of lard, there were more than a dozen big bones, two pairs of pigs went into the water, and the fragmentary Wang butcher charged me a total of 200 Wen, I knew that the Wang butcher must have given me a bargain, I said thank you to the Wang butcher, and hurried to prepare to go back.

Back at home, Xiaohua had already started to stir-fry, and I felt like I had marinated the ribs and meat. I took the two-pound lard to the cooking place, and Xiaohua said, "Xiaohua, can you fry the lard?" Xiaohua looked at the lard in my hand and said, "Yes, you put the things here, I will fry the vegetables after I have finished frying." ”

Lin Xiuxiu nodded, put the lard on the boiling table, and wanted to wash the pig in the water, but thought that it would take a long time to wash the pig in the water, so she said to Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, after you make a meal, call them to eat, you also eat first, don't wait for me, I still have something, do you know?" Xiaohua listened to Lin Xiuxiu's words, nodded, and understood.

Lin Xiuxiu was about to leave, but she thought of something, that is, Xiaohua's salary, Aunt Zhang, who had promised at the beginning, would pay for the day, if I came back late, Xiaohua would go back, this is not good. Lin Xiuxiu took out ten cents from her arms, handed it to Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua, you take it, this is your salary today." ”

Xiaohua saw Lin Xiuxiu take her silver, waved her hand inside and said, "No need, Xiuxiu, you have already given me food, why am I embarrassed to ask for your money again?" Hurry up and get it back. Lin Xiuxiu looked at Xiaohua, and still stuffed the silver into Xiaohua's hand, "I promised your mother that I would definitely pay you, if you don't want to be paid, I won't let you work." When Xiaohua heard this, she was afraid that Lin Xiuxiu would not let her work here, so she hurriedly collected the money, after all, not every job can eat so well.

Lin Xiuxiu was relieved when she saw Xiaohua take the money, and hurriedly took the pig into the water and went to the river. It took a long time, and the sun was about to set, so Lin Xiuxiu washed the pig.

When she returned home and found that they had already started eating, Lin Xiuxiu was much more relieved. hurriedly walked to the kitchen and found that Xiaohua was frying lard, and after a while, half a pot of oil came out, Lin Xiuxiu quickly took a big jar out and put the oil in.

Today, Lin Xiuxiu and Xiaohua can be regarded as an additional meal, the lard residue is mixed with a little salt, it is very fragrant, and the potato stewed pheasant, it is fragrant and delicious, Lin Xiuxiu and Xiaohua can't stop talking at all.

After Lin Xiuxiu and Xiaohua finished eating, they cleaned up together and washed the dishes, and Xiaohua went back.

When I got to the room, I quickly put the dried quilt cover on top of the newly bought quilt, spread the quilt I had covered before, and laid a sheet on it.

When my brother and I were lying on the bed, we both let out a soft sigh of comfort, I hadn't covered such a warm quilt for a long time. My brother was covered when he was young, but Lin Xiuxiu didn't have such a good life, so with this comfortable quilt, my brother and I fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, my brother and I got up early in the morning, because we had to go to the beam today, and the time was real. Xiaohua came early in the morning, after Xiaohua went back yesterday, she handed over the ten cents given by Lin Xiuxiu to Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Zhang was very happy, Xiaohua also told Aunt Zhang that she ate very well today, and there was meat, everyone listened to Xiaohua's words, and they were all happy for Xiaohua. In order to repay Xiuxiu, Xiaohua was ready to come early, so that she could help Xiuxiu work, so that she could show that she did not eat Xiuxiu's family's food for nothing, and took Xiuxiu's family's money for nothing.

Carpenter Zhang also came early in the morning, just to bring beams to Lin Xiuxiu's house, Lin Xiuxiu thanked Zhang Carpenter who sent away the window and gate of the beam, and gave Zhang Mu a piece of meat before leaving.

It was my grandfather who was presiding over the beam when he went to the beam, after all, he was the elder in the family, and his brother was still young, so the family still relied on him. Seeing that it would take some time for the ceremony to take place, I hurriedly asked Xiaohua to make the rice, but this time it was real white rice, and nothing was added, so I dug ten catties of rice.

I also hurried into the mountains, ready to hunt a few wild animals and come back. In a short time I had caught three pheasants, and I had shot several fish into the mountain stream, and the fish were now available, each with an arm.

Back in the village, Lin Xiuxiu hurriedly cleaned the fish and chicken, and stir-fried them with Xiaohua. The first dish was potato stewed chicken, I made all three pheasants, and it took two times to stew the potato stewed chicken, and Xiaohua and I quickly divided the rice into three parts. The second dish is stir-fried pork with chili, and this time I cut off five catties of pork belly and chili peppers and stir-fried them. The third course is a vegetarian dish with cold cucumbers. The last soup is a big bone broth, which is a big bone in the king's butcher's house, and the pieces are scalded with boiling water at the end, and some are put into the pot and start to cook.

Lin Xiuxiu looked out and found that Liang had finished serving, so she quickly set the table and asked them to eat together. This time the meal is divided into three tables, the second room of the big room and the grandparents are at one table, the elder brother and those who do the work are divided into a table, and there is a table that is more familiar with our family in this village, such as this time, Chunni's family also came, thinking of Chunni's family, I thought of my younger brother, well, you must hurry up to make my brother's clothes, you can't always use someone else's.
