Chapter Seventy-One
Other people don't know that Sun's spirit is obviously much better, and he can't help but smile when he speaks, and the amount of food has recovered to the same as before. Sun Jingxian took care of it a lot more easily than before.
Orange is sincere thanks Xie Zhang Xing at this time many people have not fallen into the well She is already very grateful, I didn t think that he was a businessman and still attached so much affection.
Zhang Xingxing waved his hand, "I'm doing this to get some benefits-" He pretended to think for a while, "I've always been worried about your craft, why don't you come to our Donglai Restaurant to help for a month." ”
At the beginning, Orange explicitly rejected his suggestion, but at this time, the word "no" couldn't be spoken.
Zhang Xingxing laughed, "Teasing you!" Since I know that you don't want to show your face, why should I embarrass you with this! Looking at the orange with a distrustful look on his face, he touched his nose curtly, "Okay, I do want you to come, Donglai Restaurant can provide you with more ingredients......"
"You are a businessman, and you must not make a loss-making transaction. I'm sure you've eaten my ancestral miso before, so why don't I give it to you? Orange received his kindness, and she hadn't decided whether to go or not.
"Good!" Zhang Xingxing clapped his hands and praised, "It seems that I still earned it." ”
Orange hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Brother Qi, Songbai's letter...... Is it true? ”
He knew that he couldn't hide it from her, looked into her eyes and said, "Is there really anything important?" Maybe he'll be back tomorrow......"
I couldn't open my mouth without saying anything, so I held it in my mouth for a long time before swallowing it.
Orange exhaled heavily, turned around and said to Sun with a smile: "Auntie, we had a good meal today, and there was no taste in our mouths." We've been drinking porridge every day for half a month. ”
A hint of appreciation flashed in Zhang Xingxing's eyes, fleeting.
Jiaojiao, who had been hiding in the corner and secretly looked at Zhang Xing, lowered her lips, this is the shopkeeper of the restaurant? The person who buys the orange sister Fangzi?
She vaguely heard what they said just now, could it be that Sister Orange sold him another prescription?
Without thinking too much about it, Orange called her over to buy meat, and she ran to the backyard to pick up vegetables, as if she was really celebrating that Songbai was still alive.
"Jiaojiao, wait, if Xiuxiu is at home, you can let her come over too! We'll have to ask her to help with the cooking. Pear Blossom called out the door.
Zhang Xingxing looked at the two happy families, and the corners of his mouth also showed a knowing smile.
Zhao He and Chi Dazhu sat with him and talked, they had no burden in their hearts, and began to worry about the drought in the south.
Their family has business in the north and south of the river, and they know more than theirs, and the three of them will talk about it one by one.
"Brother Qi, is there really a riot?" Chi Dazhu asked in a low voice, this can't be said nonsense, at worst, it is to disturb the people's hearts and have ill intentions.
Zhang Xing Biquge nodded www.biquge.info, "The Yellow River is the strictest, I heard that there is a plague!" Many people have gone to our side, and the house is empty, so we have to think of some countermeasures when the time comes! ”
"Then we have to prepare early, in case they come, we won't be in a hurry." Zhao He started drinking before he could eat.
Orange picked a lot of vegetables from the backyard, the day in June was already hot, Chen pounced on the mat in the yard, rotten eggs crawled around on it, the grapes grew a lot, and at this time he was resigned to his ears.
"Pear blossom, but you get some sour jujube juice for Brother and Uncle Chen to drink." Seeing that Zhang Xingxing's sweat had been flowing, the orange must have been hot.
"Well, I'm messing with it, it's really hot today." Rika answered in the kitchen and pulled some water from the well.
The big pillar of this well pool was dug down a little bit before the water came out, and I don't know when it will be normal on this day.
"Yo, this kid is getting fat again." Xiuxiu screamed before she entered the door, and she had been speaking softly for more than half a month, for fear of making Orange and Pear Blossom sad.
Chen said with a smile: "Children are the same every day, and now they are very good at shopping, and they know what to eat." ”
Xiuxiu was still followed by Xiao Cui, and called out shyly: "Hello aunts." ”
She is a newlywed and can't move around, this is the first time she has come to Orange's house after getting married, and Orange quickly moved her to Maza.
"Dad, you can go and do some Mazar another day, there are not enough people." Orange Punch Pond Big Pillar Road.
Chi Dazhu nodded happily, "Okay, there is no work in the field anyway." ”
Jiaojiao handed a piece of pickled meat to the orange, and she said in surprise: "Why is it pickled meat?" No more new pork? ”
"People are dying of hunger, how can there be anything for pigs to eat! Besides, now that there are fewer people buying pigs in the town, my father simply killed them all and salted them earlier to save food. Xiuxiu said with some indignation, "How long is this god going to toss!" ”
"It's okay, the marinated meat is delicious!" Orange didn't continue to entangle, she was thinking, since everyone can't eat enough, will there be anyone in Donglai Restaurant?
Xiaocui also followed into the kitchen, and Orange had a chance to take a good look at her, seeing that her face was ruddy, and the corners of her mouth were always smiling, and she thought that she was doing well.
Lihua quipped: "Second sister-in-law, is the second brother good to you?" Do you serve tea and water every day? ”
"you, I'm not ashamed to be young." Xiao Cui nodded her forehead, "Your second brother goes to the river to fish every day, how can you pay attention to me." ”
Lihua deliberately said "oh", "Second sister-in-law, why don't you follow the second brother?" Isn't that free. ”
"It's the same when you marry someone and be a daughter, and you still have in-laws and sisters-in-law on your head."
Xiuxiu whispered to Orange: "My father and mother will split up when it rains!" It's time not for my third brother to get married. ”
Orange always knew that Jia and Pig Li had the meaning of separating the family, thinking that they would have to wait for the third child to marry their daughter-in-law, but they didn't expect the second child to split up as soon as he married his relatives.
It turned out that Xiaocui was very popular with the Jia family after she got married, and Qinglan was a little unbalanced, and Xiaocui's bride price was much more than hers, so she was angry with the boss on weekdays.
As a result, once Xiaocui's mother's family came to borrow grain, Jia's gave three bags of fine grain, and when her mother's family came to borrow it, she only gave two bags of coarse grain.
Originally, Orange quietly told them, but Qinglan didn't take it seriously, and didn't tell her mother's family that her mother's food was running out, so she had to take some from Qinglan twice in three days to subsidize the family.
Xiaocui's mother's family had food, and she accompanied three more bags of grain when she accompanied the gift, but Jia's heart was upset, so he discussed with Xiaocui to return three bags.
Qinglan didn't know about this, and the boss didn't stop Qinglan, which chilled the hearts of the old couple, and they didn't want to wait until the third time to marry a daughter-in-law.
The boss regretted it a little at this time, and knelt down to beg Jia's family, if the family was separated at this time, the villagers would not poke him in the back.
As a result, Qinglan felt that everyone was squeezing her, and no one was on the same front with her, so she told the matter of the second child without any words.
Xiaocui also knows a little bit, but she can be told by her sister-in-law, especially if she touches and hugs, she is also very nervous.
The eldest looked at the alienated eyes of the second and third children, looked at his cousin with a sad face, and gave Qinglan a slap without thinking too much.
When did your daughter-in-law become like this?! It wasn't good before!
Qinglan looked at the boss in disbelief, holding her son and going back to her parents' house.
The boss didn't stop her, "You go back to your parents' house for a few days, and your son stays." Let's see if your mother's family, who is trying to make up for it all day long, is willing to keep you, I'm afraid my son will starve him! ”
Qinglan is willing to subsidize his mother's family, he has never objected, and he feels that it is not easy for his mother-in-law's mother-in-law to raise his daughter-in-law. She said that she wanted him to learn the craft of killing pigs from his father, and he listened to her, and there was a fight between the brothers over this matter. How many times did she bring food to her mother's family, but his father and mother didn't say "no", but she was still not satisfied! I still want to compare the bride price with my cousin!
That's enough, and she also told the second child and Dong Xiaoting, didn't she know that it was a pimple in her father's heart? Before anyone else avoided it, she stabbed someone else in the chest!
In that case, he can't get used to her! It's all a trick from her discontented mother's family, and she'll come back when she figures it out.
Qinglan was reluctant to give up her son, but it was impossible for her to take so many people away, so she had to go to the house first to pack a few clothes and valuables and go to her parents' house.
Jia Shi hugged his grandson and coaxed him, and said to Xiaocui: "Her sister-in-law is a muddy person, but her heart is not bad, don't take it to heart." ”
"Auntie, I know, sister-in-law just didn't figure it out for a while." Xiaocui didn't call Jia's mother-in-law, but called her aunt before.
"Good boy, it's still your sweetness." Jia Shi glanced at the second child and continued: "The second child is also a good person, careful and considerate. He had nothing to do with the girl. ”
Xiao Cui smiled and didn't speak, knowing that it was one thing, and hearing it from other people's mouths was another.
happened to Jiaojiao to come over to buy pork, and Jia asked Xiuxiu to lead her to relax, this kind of thing is useless for others to say, the key is that there is no knot in her heart.
Seeing Xiaocui's face as usual, Orange had to admire her psychological element, if Dong Xiaoting wanted to marry Songbai, why did she suddenly feel a little cold?
**
Hua Sui said a few words to Xing'er absent-mindedly, Xing'er only thought about her heart and didn't notice her abnormality, and finally Hua Sui couldn't help but ask:
"Xing'er, you tell me the truth, do you regret it now? If you marry Landlord Li, at least you will eat well and dress well. ”
Xing'er looked at the flower spike in surprise, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" Did your brother ask you? "I remembered that my family had been eating wowotou every day recently, and I still couldn't eat enough, and I felt a little bit behind in my heart.
Hua Sui's face was a little red, thinking of that shocking glance, and only that kind of person could match her.
"It's not my brother who asked me to ask you, it's that I saw a carriage going north of the village today, if only I could marry someone like that."
Xing'er disagreed, "People like ours are married to be concubines." Like the second girl of Mrs. Chi's family, she is married well in our village, and the man is just a shopkeeper. ”
Hua Sui didn't think so, how could they compare with her, she was the daughter of the village chief!
"But you said that there is a carriage going to the north of the village, so there are a few families living there, could it be that it is going to Orange's house?"
She still thinks that it was the orange that let Songbai go to sea, and he would die in the end! If Songbai had agreed to marry her, maybe they would have children by now.
Hua Sui nodded, "I didn't expect that the broken family often has a carriage to go to." The sourness in his words couldn't be hidden.
Looking down at the hijab in Xing'er's hand, the phoenix on it was lifelike, and the feathers were visible, and he suddenly said, "Do you think Zhao Songbai will not die?" ”
Xing'er suddenly heard this, and the needle in her hand pierced her hand as soon as she deflected. Fortunately, the hijab is red, and even if it is stained with blood, it is not very obvious.
If it's true, can she wait until Songbai comes back and then marry?
Hua Sui was anxious to inquire about Zhang Xingxing's situation, and she didn't stop long, got up and left, she still had to think about how to inquire.
**
Mrs. Dong's house can't open the pot, Xiaoting and they only eat one meal a day, or porridge stewed with wild vegetables. Their popularity in the village is not good, even if it is easy to borrow food, I heard Mrs. Dong say that she has not eaten like this for many years.
The Wang family asked a matchmaker to say goodbye to Dong Xiao'e, which is naturally not very good at this time, but it is better than starving to death at home.
I don't know how Xiaoshan is doing at her husband's house? It should be much stronger than at home.
**
It's only been a few months, Xiaoshan's eye circles have begun to sunken inward, no matter day or night, people are watching her, and she can't even throw herself into the well.
She is married to the eldest in the family, and there is a sister who made a concubine for the landlord Li, and the remaining three are younger brothers. When she first married here, she also wanted to live a good life, even if she was poor.
She can tolerate four brothers with only one pair of pants to wear, can tolerate not having enough to eat, and can even tolerate her husband taking a concubine, as long as he has money.
Who would have thought that the four of them would take turns to have sex with her.
Her husband actually said that this was the plan when he married her, and they exchanged the sister for silver to marry a daughter-in-law, but there was only one sister-in-law, and only one daughter-in-law could be married.
He also said that this is the situation in this village - co-wife. The girls with slightly better conditions don't marry on their side, and the girls in the village can also marry outside if they can, and they can only marry daughters-in-law from the surrounding villages.
Fortunately, the farther villages didn't know about this situation, and as long as they had money, the brothers could still get a daughter-in-law or two.
Xiao Shan looked at the sky in despair, it was night again, who would be here tonight?
She hadn't eaten a hot meal for days, and she couldn't even cook if she wanted to, because they were afraid that she would kill herself with a knife! Even if you go to the toilet, there are people watching!
She just begged God to let her die soon!
**
After the pork of Xiuxiu's family is marinated, it is specially smoked with branches, which has a faint smoky fragrance. When you cut it, the meat is still pink and pink, which is particularly attractive.
The only thing Sun Jingxian admired during the half month she lived here was the cooking skills of oranges. She used to feel that Orange had been withdrawn once, and her reputation was not good, and she looked down on her a little bit. Later, I saw that she was good to her aunt and had a good relationship with Pear Blossom, so I let go of a little prejudice in my heart.
Several girls of similar age gathered in the kitchen, and the kitchen seemed to be small. Xiuxiu chattered about how delicious the pickles she pickled, and she would come to pickle them in two days.
Rika couldn't help but smack: "How do I remember that your jar of pickles was basically put by Sister Orange for you, and you washed the vegetables." ”
Xiuxiu was not convinced, "I also learned along!" That's what I put the vinegar in. Isn't it, Sister Orange? ”
"It's okay if you don't say it, as soon as you say it, I remember how much vinegar you put in the beginning, and I'm embarrassed to say you." Cut the bacon into cubes with orange and add green peppers to taste.
Sun Jingxian has been watching quietly, she is not very familiar with these people, but she has seen them more or less when she was a child.
Jiaojiao watched the orange stir-fry carefully, she has been secretly learning for half a month, although she doesn't understand many places, she can remember a little bit in her heart.
Last time, Aunt Chi went to Mrs. Chi's house to borrow food after she left, but Mrs. Chi didn't borrow it, and the two had a quarrel. In the end, Aunt Chi left angrily and went to the town to find her sister-in-law.
Although Jiaojiao didn't know this, she could guess a little bit based on the situation at home. In the past, her mother's crops could be more or less enough to take care of and eat, but now the family must drink gruel at once.
**
Although the dinner in the evening was not very rich, everyone still had a good time. Orange simply dug out the osmanthus osmanthus wine buried last year, which was still Songbai and her picking osmanthus tweed at the door of Lao Huang's house.
Chi Dazhu was very happy, he started thinking about this wine last year, and finally drank it this year. The entrance is a faint fragrance of osmanthus, slightly sweet, mellow and thick.
Zhang Xingxing praised again and again, Orange knew that he was making her happy, she was just a layman, of course she was not good at winemaking, if she talked about wine or something, she could still rely on a little prophet.
She suddenly remembered a particularly famous snack - osmanthus wine stuffed dumplings.
Wine-stuffed dumplings also have the effect of enlarging breasts and milk, and can be eaten for Chen's supper at night.
