The old man's ears were bright, and when he heard him say this, he glanced at the family, leaned over and smiled: "I think you are a person who can treat it well, how about it?" If you want, I'll give it to you cheaply. Just treat it well in the future. ”

Before Hua Changnian could hesitate, he was grabbed by the old man and touched the cow's back: "Look at it, it's strong." ”

As soon as the smooth cow hair was touched, Hua Changnian was like being watered on the great dry land, and there was a sense of completeness that something was made up.

It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!

"How much?"

"This cow is not big, how about I only need you eight taels?"

"Eight taels..."

"The old man doesn't lie to you, the strong cow is sold for ten taels, and the old cow also needs six taels. Go back and raise it for half a year, and it will grow. The old man is well raised, you can see it yourself, it is definitely worth the price. ”

If it's low, he won't sell it, but it's a big deal to bring him back and raise it again, and he can sell it for more money.

Wan Shi felt that the makeup box was too expensive at this time.

"Cheng, eight taels and eight taels. But, uncle, since you raise and sell cattle at home, do you know where to sell ox carts? We want to have another pallet car. ”

The old man looked at him strangely: "What's so difficult about this?" There are no carpenters in your village? Usually used board car, don't you get a few ropes? The preciousness of the county. But the ox plough has to be bought. ”

looks like he doesn't live a life.

Hua Changnian patted his head, no, isn't there a board car at home, he is really stupid, hehe smirked: "Don't I think that the broken car at home is not worthy of this cow?" ”

A few children rolled their eyes, why did the car break? It's only been a few months since I did. It seems that this cow is really not low in Daddy's heart.

The old man was happy and waved his hand: "Yes, I will be relieved to hear your words, wait, I will feed it again." You take care of it, it's still small, you can't let the child ride around. ”

This time, even the Wan family rolled his eyes, is this buying an ancestor?

I don't know where the old man picked up the hay, feeding a small handful of it, and chanting: "I went to the new house to eat well, the master said why not play with your temper, work hard, and don't be tired of yourself..."

Wan secretly said to them: "The girl will tell these when she gets married, this old man really feels sorry for this cow." ”

Hua Bing sighed: "Then, mother, you say this, don't you mean that the eldest sister and the second sister will marry someone else as a cow in the future?" ”

Wan Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt sad, he married into the Hua family, and he was not even as good as a cow.

"Then you and your brother have to fight for anger, the eldest sister and the second sister can be tough in the in-law's house, and no one dares to bully."

Hua Lei said solemnly: "Mother, don't worry, with me, no one wants to bully my sister." ”

Hua Bing didn't understand: "That sister doesn't go to their mother-in-law's house, how comfortable it is in our own house." ”

Wan Shi laughed and poked his little face: "How can there be a girl who doesn't marry, and then talk nonsense, do you want to ask for a daughter-in-law?" ”

Hua Bing was in a dilemma, and after thinking for a long time, she shook her head and said, "I don't want a daughter-in-law anymore, I don't know her, I just want the eldest sister and the second sister." ”

"Hahaha..."

A few people couldn't laugh.

Wan wiped away the tears that came out of his laughter: "You don't want a daughter-in-law?" Don't ask your parents for it from then on. However, your two brothers-in-law have to have a daughter-in-law. ”

Hua Bing knew that she was being teased, and said angrily: "What brother-in-law, I don't know them, dare to come and rob my sister, I will beat them out." ”

"Ouch, such a powerful brother-in-law, you two brothers-in-law don't dare to bully your sisters. Our Bing'er is amazing. ”

"Hmph." Hua Bing heard that she was praised, and she became angry again.

Hua Changnian walked over, confused: "What are you talking about?" The streets hear you laughing. ”

Wan learned what he had just said.

Hua Changnian also smiled: "I really can't bear to marry my daughter." ”

Wan glared at him.

"After the New Year, let's go back to your parents' house, I haven't been there for many years."

Wan Shi was stunned for a moment, and his face faded: "The water spilled by the married girl, how many years has it been, what is there to see." Let's go back. ”

Hua Changnian led the cow and walked at the end, Wan Shi took the child in front, did not speak all the way, and could see that the love was not high, and several children did not dare to laugh.

Until he entered the village, Wan said: "I'll go to the village to order two plates of tofu, and you go back first." ”

After saying that, he went straight into the village.

Hua Changnian and a few people rushed directly to the door of their house, sighing.

Hua Yun asked Hua Lei: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”

Hua Lei was also at a loss, and asked Hua Changnian again: "Dad, what's wrong with my mother?" Isn't it our foreign home... Having said that, I haven't seen anyone from my grandfather's family all these years, what's going on here? ”

"Alas," Hua Changnian sighed again: "It's all poor." Your grandfather's house is in a ravine, and the days... Not so good. In that home, the old lady is like that... When you were born, your grandfather's family came once to see your mother, but... I'm also here to borrow money. was paused by the old lady, on the spot... I made a move, and after that, there was no contact between the two sides. ”

Lee's? Talked? I'm afraid it's not just about talking, after all, it's done.

Now it seems that -

"Dad, the Li family did it on purpose, they just wanted you to fall out with your grandfather's family, so there would be no one to support your mother, so she would call her mother to death."

Hua Changnian sighed, who said it wasn't, he only figured it out now.

"Then the mother never went back?"

"Your mother came back to the door once the year she got married, alas, it's all because my father didn't think about it. Supposedly, the two sides made a fuss, wasn't it all the son-in-law who came to compensate, didn't I'm stunned that I didn't do anything... Your grandfather's family will definitely not be able to pull down his face, and your mother will definitely be even more upset if she hasn't been able to go back all these years..."

In fact, he also mentioned visiting his parents-in-law, how could Wan not want to? But every time they were blocked by the Li family, and after a long time, the two never thought about it again.

"Then let's go after the New Year this year."

"Tell your mother first, she also has a pimple in her heart."

Wan Shi came back, his face was the same as usual, and he said with a smile: "Tofu is really in demand, there are many people who want it this year, and when I get it back, my mother will give you fried meatballs." ”

I want to cook a lot of fried dishes during the Chinese New Year and eat them until February. Meatballs are an indispensable dish for every family, whether it is to worship ancestors or eat by yourself, how can there be no meatballs for the New Year? Not inferior to dumplings at all.

Of course, you can't make meatballs with whole meat, so you have to mix them with tofu. Moreover, to worship the ancestors, there is also a must-have dish on the table, fried tofu.

As soon as he entered the wax moon, the face of the family who made tofu in the village turned red, this is the peak season of his family.

There are many people who want tofu this year, so it can be seen that there is less meat to buy, which is to add more tofu, otherwise how can there be enough for the children in the family?

Hua Changnian built a cowshed in the courtyard, especially near the couple's house, and got up in the middle of the night to feed the cows.

"I happen to go to the county seat tomorrow, I have to buy some forage or something, the old man regards this cow as if he is his own son, but he has to serve it, and he is looking forward to plowing the land in the spring." I'll go to the meat stall again and order half a pig from the meat seller. ”

There are also families in the village who sell meat, but they like to lack catties and taels, and Hua Changnian doesn't want to go to that house, especially the mother-in-law who is good at inquiring about things.

Wan Shi sighed: "Where is it used so much?" We still have a lot of chickens and rabbits, I can't eat them, and it's almost the same to buy a dozen catties. ”

Hua Changnian looked at her and smiled: "We have to send meat when we move around." ”

"Moving around? Except for the Great Victory, let's go-" Wan Shi thought of something, his face became complicated, he stopped talking, and lifted the curtain and went into the house.

Hua Lei Hua Bing helped in front of Hua Changnian, and Hua Lei saw Wan Shi enter the house, so he said, "Dad, it was sent from a foreign house, right?" Looking at my mother's appearance, I want to go back. ”

Hua Changnian carried the wood: "Your mother got married, she was timid at first, but then she was busy with the old lady every day, and she didn't talk much, and she didn't talk much, and she didn't mention her mother's family much." Later, the two had a fight, not to mention. I asked, and your mother is still angry with me. I'm thinking, your grandfather's family isn't very much..."Hua Changnian paused: "Over the years, there are certainly things that you and I can't do, but... I've really never seen your mother once, and neither adults nor children have ever been there. ”

Hua Bing had never heard of his grandfather's uncle's house or anything since he could remember, and he saw the four daughters-in-law of the Hua family returning to their parents' house, and he also thought about it from his own home. Hearing Hua Changnian say this, he was very puzzled: "Dad is saying that my mother and grandpa's family are not getting along?" So what are we going to see? ”

Hua Changnian patted him on the head: "You still don't understand, how can anyone who doesn't worry about his father and mother when he is a child?" If your mother doesn't say it, she must be worried in her heart. ”

After speaking, he glanced to the south.

Hua Lei suddenly felt bad: "Dad, do you miss your father?" ”

That's what I said.

Hua Changnian suddenly glared: "What are you talking about?" What my dad, that's your grandpa! ”

Hua Lei stroked his forehead, it's only been a few days, and his father's heart has softened again, and it's all New Year's trouble. (To be continued.) )
