44. Dried loaches
CHAPTER XLIV
The third child was still grinning on the way back, and Pear Blossom was still the same as before to him. When the second brother marries, he will come to the door to propose! Alas, his second brother doesn't even have a target yet, so when will he have to wait? It's really worrying!
I was thinking about where to find a second sister-in-law for him, and I met Xiao Huang with a bucket of fish. He and Lao Huang can't eat so many fish, not to mention, they can't do it well. Lao Huang simply asked him to carry the fish and send it to the oranges, so that he could eat a little bit of it when it was made into fish sauce.
It just so happened that Xiao Huang remembered that Pear Blossom said that oranges were hot yesterday, so he came over with a few big black pills by the way. If he hadn't guessed wrong, all the pills he gave her last time must have been taken away by Songbai.
The two said hello, and the third child saw him walking to the north of the village, where there were two families, Orange and Pear Blossom. Who is he going to?
I suddenly wanted to go to Lihua and said that she and Xiaohuang went to see the fish yesterday, and I didn't feel good in my heart. On the way back, I almost stepped on the ice, and I didn't think about who the second sister-in-law was.
What if Pear Blossom likes little yellow? Xiao Huang can read and see a doctor, which is much more powerful than him, a mud leg who can only kill pigs and farm the land!
**
The orange is preparing something for the Huang family to go back, and Uncle Chen will come over in the next two days, and it will be too late to clean it up then.
She packed two baskets of small fish, ham, and pork jerky, one for her uncle's family and one for her brother-in-law's family. There is also fish tofu made some time ago, go back and put it in the pot to fry it, or simply boil it, children love to eat it very much.
If Huang could stay for two more days, she would have worked hard to make the candy, and she would not have to go to the town to buy it, and the food would be delicious.
Seeing that the loach was almost spitting mud, she and Rika were busy deboning. The water in Layue is cold and biting, but fortunately, they have two stoves at home, one of which uses a large pot for hot water.
Xiao Huang left the medicine and the little fish and went home, and Orange thanked him, thinking that he would make this dried loach and send it to Lao Huang, he must love to eat this kind of gadget. It's always troublesome for people not to talk about it, and when her mother gives birth, she has to let him help watch it.
Aunt Chi led the three children to the door again, and her man came to call her with his eldest son yesterday. If you don't go back, you can't spend the New Year at your mother's house.
Looking at her man's appearance, she knew that she must have lost the money again, and the family couldn't open the pot. Sometimes she thinks about it, she borrowed money and didn't do anything, and it wasn't taken by her man to gamble!
But when she saw the three and a half big boys, when they were all older, she was hungry all day long, and she couldn't give up. Even if he is complained by his brother, he has to borrow the money.
Chi Dazhu was at home this time, and Aunt Chi had tears in her eyes when she saw him, this younger brother she always looked down on was also promising. She doesn't know how to gamble!
She was coveted by Mrs. Chi to marry the bride price, and she also thought about leaving, and every time she saw her child, she gave up this idea.
Chi Dazhu led her into the house, the last time the orange was married, she came uninvited, although she sewed a purse, but this aunt's, the gift was still too light.
He was afraid that Chen's heart would be blocked, and he wanted to send her away as soon as possible. He also knows that this sister is not doing well, how many years have passed, there have been a lot of children, and the days are getting poorer and poorer.
So many half-grown boys, work hard in the fields, and make a small deal with a flexible brain, how can life be like this? Even Orange knows how to do a business, in the final analysis, it is the brother-in-law who is lazy and lazy to do it, and he has not taken the lead.
Aunt Chi looked enviously at the new cotton bedding on the bed, and it must be warm and tight when covered. Tsk, looking at the underground bunk, it's really thick, isn't my brother and sister like a fairy these days!
Originally, she also planned to pass on her own child, but seeing that Chi Dazhu's family had no money, she never made a ruthless heart. The child is also relieved to be by her side.
Now seeing that Chi Dazhu's family is getting better and better, the Chen family is pregnant! It's really unfortunate, but even if you're pregnant, it's not sure if it's a man or a woman, and can you grow up......
After this idea, he spoke softer than usual, and shouted one second brother after another. When did Chi Dazhu be treated so warmly by his eldest sister, he really couldn't stand it for a while.
Of her three children, two are male and the youngest is a female. Seven or eight-year-old Jiaojiao wore flowers on her head, and the peony flowers with red cloth were a little old in color.
The orange handed her the fried small fish, Jiaojiao stretched out and took it and ate it, and the two brothers were even more wolf-spitting, and they didn't say anything to Aunt Chi to taste it. Orange first brought two points of dislike, why is such a big person so ignorant.
Jiaojiao finished eating quickly, her eyes followed Aunt Chi, and she called "cousin" sweetly.
Orange answered, Jiaojiao showed envious eyes, "Your family is really good, just you are a child." I have a lot of children, and I don't have a house of my own, and I don't have new clothes to wear...... At home, I help my mother work every day, and I want to find someone to be my companion. ”
looked at the orange with a blank eye, the orange didn't understand Jiaojiao's meaning for a while, and looked at the clothes she was wearing, which was still made of cloth that Chen bought and gave to Chi Pozi, why didn't there be any new clothes?
Pear blossom laughed out loud next to her, there are really many relatives of oranges, one more than one heart. There was a shrewd tiger in front of him, and now there is a clever Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao was laughed at, and the seven or eight-year-old girl's kung fu was not deep, and her face was red by three points. Her father always said that she was the smartest in the family, and she thought so - at her grandmother's house, she coaxed the eldest aunt and the third uncle to be happy.
If her father hadn't come to them, she wouldn't have been able to live a good life for a few more days. She didn't want to go back to their house, or she didn't have the next meal.
She looked at her second uncle's house, and she didn't say anything about a girl in the family, and the food was also very good. The room was even warmer, and if she had flattered her cousin, she would have come to live and play.
Orange saw the pear blossom smiling happily, and she understood a little in her heart. Although I have no feelings for Aunt Chi, I don't hate Jiaojiao very much. If she was normal, she might also let Jiaojiao stay with her, but now her mother's belly is big, and she has to be busy with the New Year, so she can't be busy.
just pretended not to understand, Jiaojiao saw that Orange didn't answer, and she didn't know if she didn't understand or didn't want to pay attention to her, so she thought about it carefully.
Aunt Chi cried with Chi Dazhu about the suffering she had suffered over the years, this was the result of her discussion with Yu, and Chi Dazhu was very soft-hearted.
Seeing that she had lived at home for so many days, Zhou was so angry that he didn't dare to speak, and he didn't even let out a fart from the family, so he was deflated first. If it goes on like this, all she eats is the silver she earns!
After seeing the opportunity to talk to Aunt Chi, Chi Dazhu is soft-hearted and good-looking, and he will definitely not just look at it, it is also his nephew.
Chi Dazhu was really moved, thinking that he still had a few dollars in his hand, and he was not in a hurry to build a house, so he took out a tael of silver from the cabinet and handed it to Aunt Chi.
One or two pieces of silver are enough for the villager's family for half a year, as long as Aunt Chi's man doesn't go out to gamble, the children's life can still be good.
Aunt Chi saw that Chi Dazhu took out a tael of silver at once, and she was still speechless in her heart, this second brother is really rich, and he doesn't blink when he looks at it.
Chen and Huang were in the West House, and the two quietly guessed whether Chi Dazhu would give Aunt Chi silver, and both of them felt that they would definitely give it. Last time, the Huang family didn't let Aunt Chi enter the door, and Chi Dazhu was still a little unhappy when he came back, no matter what, it was also someone's sister, and she didn't play together when she was a child.
Chi Dazhu regretted it a little after giving it, he should have discussed it with his mother-in-law, and he made his own decisions as soon as he was dizzy. What should I say to my mother-in-law in a while? Isn't she angry?
**
Jiaojiao couldn't think of a reason, so she just sat down to help Orange and Pear Blossom pick up the loaches. There is a lot of this loach mud, but there is an earthy smell when it is cooked, and her brother will catch some and eat it if he is very hungry.
Didn't you say that the second uncle's family was very rich? Why do you still eat such a cheap thing? If she had money, she would have to eat meat and fat every day, and every bite would be fragrant to death.
Orange saw that she was willing to sit down to help, and the work in her hand was also neat, and she felt two more favorites. This loach will be fried in oil in a pot for a while, and the aroma will come out at once.
Unlike the dried loaches in modern packaging, this loach is sweet, tender, and full of umami. The meat is very tender, smooth and smooth, and after putting in the chili pepper, it is spicy and spicy.
Usually, it is delicious to eat as a snack, unlike pork jerky, Chi Dazhu and Chen are reluctant to eat it, and they always feel that it is made of meat, which is precious.
Oranges are not good and always let Jiaojiao help, send her to the house to bake the fire, her two brothers are not just eating in the house and baking the fire, very comfortable.
Aunt Chi must have stayed to eat, otherwise why wouldn't she leave at this time. Chi Dazhu wanted to let her go quickly, it was one thing for him to be soft-hearted, but he didn't want the Chen family to add to the blockage.
When the Chen family first got married, he only gave birth to an orange, and Aunt Chi didn't ask Mrs. Chi to clean up the Chen family, and even made a fuss about giving him a second room.
After so many years, the knot can't be untied, and the last time Aunt Chi came to the engagement banquet, the Chen family complained that he secretly invited him, and he was angry with him for two days.
Aunt Chi felt a lot more relaxed with money, and the mistakes began to be made again. She has been here for so long, and Chen doesn't even show a face, why is she so ignorant? It's not that she doesn't look down on this second brother and sister, she doesn't have the ability to be born, and she doesn't clamp her tail and be a man?
Chen couldn't sleep while lying down, and she hadn't gone back to see what Huang was talking about Chenjiazhuang there. In the past, my mother-in-law didn't let me, but later there were many things at home and I couldn't take care of them. When I give birth to this child in my belly, I must go back and take a look.
She didn't bother to look at Aunt Chi's face, anyway, this was their house, and she could do whatever she liked.
Jiaojiao listened to what the orange said, and stopped doing it. She also wanted to go around the house and see if Cousin Orange had any beautiful jewelry.
