37. Ham
CHAPTER XXXVII
The two walked back hand in hand, and now they don't have to avoid being led by others, anyway, they are all recognized by the family, not to mention that they are holding one day less than one day.
Apricot stood behind the tree and watched, tears couldn't help but flow down. She finally went out of the house in the name of looking for flower spikes, but heard the news that Songbai was going to marry.
The person who said this to her was Erni, the daughter-in-law of Qingzhuan, and she couldn't get used to Xing'er and Xing'er's style. One looks at people with his nostrils up all day long, and the other doesn't say anything, how can there be a girl's family blocking the boy and saying that he wants to marry someone!
She didn't have any bad intentions, she was just angry. After saying that, I regretted it a little, if Xing'er found a short-term see again, wouldn't her sin be great.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and secretly followed Apricot Ear. I saw Xing'er wiping her tears by the river for a while and went to the north of the village. When she saw that Xing'er didn't jump into the river, she breathed a sigh of relief and lifted her legs to go home.
When I walked halfway and thought about it, isn't the north of the village the Songbai family, what is this worryless apricot doing there? Do you want to stir up the pines and oranges?
She looked at Apricot standing behind the tree from afar, wiped her tears for a while and wanted to go to the pine and cypress, she ran over and grabbed Apricot's arm and went to the forest.
Xing'er originally wanted to go over and ask Songbai, where is she worse than an orange? Now she is alone at home, her father and mother are looking forward to her getting married every day, and her brothers and sisters-in-law have complaints in their hearts, she is unwilling!
Erni works all day long, and she has energy in her body, where is Xing'er her opponent, and she was dragged into it. Songbai probably glanced at it, and after thinking about it in his heart, he understood seven or eight points, and led the orange home.
This kind of thing, he can know it alone, and if she knows, it will add to the blockage.
He didn't go out again after sending the oranges home, and it was troublesome to see Xing'er at this time, and he couldn't wait to take a long detour.
Poor Apricot didn't know that she had been marked by Songbai as one of the characters she would never want to see before leaving.
Xiuxiu knew that they were married, so she rushed over to find oranges, and asked angrily: "Do you treat me as a sister one by one?" You don't tell me about such a big thing, I still know it from other people's mouths! ”
She was so anxious that tears were about to fall, if she knew last time that these two people were going to get married, she wouldn't have said anything about her second brother's fall in love with oranges, which made her not a person inside and out.
Orange hurriedly took her hand, "What do you think!" The two of us also decided on an ad hoc basis, and if I had time, I would have sued you a long time ago! ”
Pear Blossom wanted to come over and say something, but she was still very awkward in her heart. She wasn't angry for a long time, but she couldn't pull her face, and the last time she went to send Xiuxiu to send the red in the mountains, it was just an orange to go in, and she was waiting at the door.
Xiuxiu took back her tears, "Really? She didn't get angry anymore, and glared at Pear Blossom, "What's wrong?" Now that you see me, you're silent, when did you have such a small heart? ”
"You're just a little bit of a heart!" Rika couldn't help but look back, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
"Come in the house, it's cold outside!" Chen called them through the window paper, the late autumn wind was also very cold on the body, and the girl should pay more attention.
"Ugh." The three of them entered the house of the oranges, and a charcoal fire had burned inside. The kang was also hot, and Xiuxiu said it was hot when she went in, and she was full of anger.
I haven't gone to the dock to set up a stall in the past few days, and the oranges are a lot more relaxed. I made a doll out of the rags I sewed the quilt last time, stuffed with some old cotton, and it was very comfortable to hold in my hand.
Xiuxiu hugged it in her arms and sighed, "The orange hand is really clever, look at the doll is the same as the real thing!" It's just that the stitches don't look good! ”
Pear Blossom had already seen it, and she begged Orange to make her a mile so that she could sleep with it in her arms at night.
"No, Sister Orange's pillow is stuffed with wild chrysanthemums, and she smells fragrant when she sleeps. According to me, the people in our village are still the hands of Sister Orange, not like the plum spike...... Phew, I said what she does! She still holds a grudge against Hua Sui in her heart, since she was a child, as long as she can't look down on someone she can talk about for a while, she holds a grudge very much!
Xiuxiu smelled the pillow, it was really a faint chrysanthemum fragrance, mixed with the smell of mint, and she admired it very much. The kang is hot, the mattress is also soft, although there is no big furniture, it makes people feel very comfortable.
How nice it would be if this really became her sister-in-law......
"Don't interrupt, let's say, why did you suddenly remember to marry Songbai?" She sat on the kang and interrogated, these two girls were really hiding it.
"It's nothing, it's just that Brother Songbai is going to sea, I think it's good to settle early." The orange came in with a plate of melon seeds, which she fried by herself, and the taste was very fragrant, and she had been looking for a long time for the seasoning.
This melon seed was still sent from Granny Yang, and her daughter-in-law wanted to eat it, but she thought that Granny Yang was fried, so she came to her.
She hasn't had anything to do lately, she does some needlework every day, and she can't wait to make something fresh, not to mention that Granny Yang also left her so much, and it's good to leave it for her mother to eat.
The melon seeds are full, fragrant, fragrant, and fragrant, the three of them simply went to the kang together to eat and chat, and the orange also poured a large pot of chrysanthemum water on the kang table, and the province was thirsty later.
"It's very dangerous to go to sea this time, does your mother really agree with him going to sea?" Xiuxiu asked Rika if it weren't for the danger, I don't know how many people would have done it a long time ago.
Rika sighed, "Who said it wasn't, but my brother is very stubborn and can't do it." ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Xiuxiu hurriedly changed the topic and said, "When the two of you get married, you have to call me early, and I will help you." ”
After talking for a long time, Xiuxiu left, and she felt sorry for her second brother while walking. When I went home, I told the third child that the pine and cypress were going to sea, and the third child admired it in his heart.
A good boy has ambitions in all directions, and he also wants to go on a long journey! Before the words could be spoken, Xiu Xiuniang was gagged, she passed by and listened to it just now, and she didn't have to think about it to know what the third child was thinking.
She still knows the baby that came out of her belly. But she has her own considerations, her family is also one of the best in the village, she goes to the town every day to kill and kill pigs and sell them, and her life should be more moisturized, what to do to do that work.
She couldn't figure out why Sun agreed? You must know that she is just the only seedling, thinking about money and going crazy? But orange is a kind and righteous one, but it's a pity.
Seeing that the day when the pine and cypress were getting closer and closer to home, Orange was also very panicked. By chance, I suddenly thought of ham sausage, and if the pine and cypress were to be carried on the road, they could also kill and kill gluttony, and it was convenient to eat.
Just do it, and on the same day, I went to Xiuxiu's house to buy pig thighs and pig intestines. Her father and mother don't care about money, and the money earned by the seller is left with her, except for the one for Songbai, there is still a lot of broken silver left in her hand.
When she sewed fifty taels into her clothes, she asked Chen and Chi Dazhu. Although I know that they will agree, it is better for her to say it than to hide it, and it is also a sign of respect for them.
The only thing she cherishes in this world is family affection. If this ancient world is hell, then the affection between them is the warm sun in winter.
Ham was available long before the Tang Dynasty, and the casing of the pig's large intestine was soaked in warm water, and the pork was stirred, and the more crushed the better, and then the seasoning was added.
It is more troublesome when filling the casing, and it is not as convenient as a modern enema tube. She called Pear Blossom Xiuxiu to help. Chen vomited as soon as he smelled the fishy smell and did not come to help. I didn't eat as much as I used to, and my round face was obviously smaller.
However, you can still eat some red and sour jujube in the mountains, or you can eat a small snack, but you can't eat meat, which provokes Chi Dazhu to say that this fetus is a squeamish one, and it will be a happy life in the future.
In addition to being sad about his daughter, Chi Dazhu is happy every day. There are a lot of names just ringing, but they are all dog eggs, dog leftovers, and little yellow, and Orange is glad in her heart that her name was not given by Chi Dazhu.
Wait for the casing to be knotted and put in the pot to cook, and slow to cook for about a quarter of an hour. Xiuxiu picked up one first and ate it, gently biting the casing, the meat was soft and rotten, the entrance was fragrant and glutinous, and it was fragrant and delicious.
"Oranges, this is really amazing, it's convenient to go out with you, do you think I'll go home and make some to sell?" Xiuxiu was very happy to eat, she thought that there were many pigs at home with large intestines and casings, so she didn't want to do this.
But this is good for Orange to come up with, and it's not good for her to occupy it, so she didn't wait for Orange to open her mouth and said: "Otherwise, let's divide it, so you won't suffer." ”
Orange snorted and laughed, "If you want to do it, you can do it, Pear Blossom and I don't plan to do this, we don't have so much meat at home!" If you don't give money, let's say it's an outsider. ”
The tree is very popular, and the recipe for selling wine is enough to be eye-catching, if you exchange this for money again, with the power of their family, it is easy to be pinched to death by others.
Otherwise, she wouldn't make more money selling wine by herself! But if this is the case, their whole family will not live to see the sun tomorrow!
This is how in ancient times, there was no human rights and no rule of law, and you could only be safe if you stood at the top of the pyramid.
The two of them can't take the road of career for the time being, and the only possible thing is that Huzi and her mother don't know whether it is a male or female baby in their wombs, but this will have to wait at least ten years.
She doesn't have much ambition, all she wants is the peace and joy of the family, and now she has enough money to spend, so she can be a good village girl with peace of mind, go out to help cook when she has nothing to do, and accompany Chen and Sun.
Songbai knew that Orange was preparing for him to go on the road, and he was also very busy all day, going to the bookstore in the town every day to check the literature - Xiao Huang did not have any books on this at home. He also looked for a family to come over to help, otherwise he would not be at ease when he left.
The two families have two laborers, and they will definitely not be busy in the spring of next year, and with his father and Uncle Chi's thrifty habits, they will definitely not hire someone to help.
Not to mention that the two of them don't have this idea, even the village chief's family has not taken care of people, and everyone's thoughts feel that it is only the landlord's family that can afford to take care of it.
In fact, the most expensive person who signed the death deed is only two taels of silver, let alone the living deed. He inquired with his teeth while searching for himself.
Like the people in the mountains, many people who can't even afford to eat will flee to them, sign a death deed and sell themselves, just to make a living.
Xiuxiu and Rika saw Songbai coming, and they both left with an excuse of interest, and the time that the two of them were together was only a few days, and they both wanted to spend more time together.
"This is the ham you are talking about, it tastes good, and it is easy to hold." Songbai tasted it and nodded pertinently, what he didn't say was that even if he took it to the road, he would be robbed by others, but he couldn't bear to brush off her kindness, so he had to euphemistically tell her to "do more and carry Shen on the road".
This made the orange react, but no, the ham is not particularly convenient to carry, and it would be much more convenient to bring out the instant noodles.
