Chapter 43: Hand-to-hand
Jin Zhu's careful thinking naturally couldn't hide it from the three adults of the Sun family, Xifeng glanced at Sun Xiaoyan with a smile, quite a bit of a good show.
Sun Xiaoyan also smiled, the corners of her mouth slightly outward, glanced at Jin Zhu, then glanced at the pot of dumplings on the table, and turned to Yang Dashan, "Dashan, I'm hungry, go cook some dumplings for me to eat, by the way, I seemed to smell the fragrance of braised pork when I entered the door just now, and I served it out in one piece, I haven't eaten a full meal on the road in the past two days." ”
When Yang Dashan heard that the other party was willing to stay, he nodded and agreed, and ordered Jin Zhu to cook dumplings, but Jin Zhu couldn't escape, so he had to take the dumplings into the kitchen.
"Xiaoyan, don't worry, my daughters can do it, cooking, feeding pigs, you see, I haven't been at home for a year, these children have learned to make dumplings, and this family is quite clean." Yang Dashan said to Sun Xiaoyan with a flattering face.
Sun Xiaoyan was noncommittal when she heard this, except for a barn, a table, a broken TV, and a few chairs in this hall, there was nothing else, could it be clean?
"Where do you live?"
Yang Dashan hurriedly pointed to his house when he heard this, Sun Xiaoyan paced to the door, looked inside, a trace of surprise flashed on her face, to be honest, she didn't expect Jin Zhu to really clean up this house.
Although the house was a little dark, the house was a little old, and the furniture was a little shabby, except for a bed and a large old-fashioned wardrobe and a long board with six wine jars under the board, there was almost nothing else, but it was undeniable that the furniture had been wiped with a few hearts. There was no mess of junk or any bad smells in the house. The most rare thing is that the quilt on the bed is a large double quilt, and I don't know if the quilt inside is new. But at least the duvet cover is new, and the color is very elegant, which adds a lot of color to the house.
Xifeng has been paying attention to her sister-in-law's expression, and when she saw this, she also came over to take a look, she also felt a little surprised, the poverty of this family surprised her, and the ability of Jin Zhu also surprised her.
Although the children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age. But how many twelve or thirteen-year-old children can support a family? Not to mention cooking, cleaning up the house, feeding the pigs and chickens, the children of the farmer can basically do it, the key is that Jinzhu can keep the house in order. I took my three younger siblings to live, and when I saw that these younger siblings were still well taken by her, it was relatively rare.
It's just that it's not good to say.
Fortunately, her sister-in-law will be able to save snacks in the future. There are a few little ones waiting for her. should be able to continue to live the days when she stretches out her hands for food and opens her mouth, and she doesn't have to go back to her parents' house to fight the autumn breeze; The bad thing is that Jin Zhu is too shrewd and not easy to fool, and I don't know if her sister-in-law can handle it.
What Xi Feng was thinking in her heart was also what Sun Xiaoyan was considering, just after this fight, she had already discovered that Jin Zhu was not like a child who was only twelve years old, and it was not easy to fiddle with.
"Xiaoyan, look. I'm not lying to you, my daughters are very capable. Even the quilts have been prepared for us, don't worry, this is all brand new, I didn't have these things in my house before. When Yang Dashan saw that the house was so clean and tidy, he felt that his daughter was very sorry for him, so he didn't care about Jin Zhu's rudeness just now.
Hearing this, Sun Xiaoyan walked into the house, first touched the quilt, it was very soft, and then lifted the corner of the quilt, and the sheets below were also the same color as the quilt cover, which was indeed new, and it had been washed, and I could smell a smell of laundry detergent.
Find the zipper of the quilt cover and open it to see that the quilt inside is indeed new, a pink space quilt. Seeing this, Sun Xiaoyan couldn't help but wonder a little, isn't this family very poor? How could he be willing to buy her a new quilt?
Does it mean that several children really want a new mother? Thinking of this, Sun Xiaoyan thought that it was unlikely that she would have children in her life, so it was better to spend some effort to envelop these children, especially the youngest boy, but the one named Jin Zhu, Sun Xiaoyan shook her head, it was best to see if she could send it away.
Zhou Shuixian saw that the Sun family was going to stay for dinner, and it was obvious that he was going to marry this family, and when he saw that Sun Xiaoyan took the initiative to ask Yang Dashan where he lived, he couldn't help but pout, obviously he was in love with her son, what else was he pretending?
Zhou Shuixian saw that there was still a lump of flour and a pot of stuffing on the table, and Jin Liu and Jin Niu stood stupidly, so they walked into the kitchen.
Jin Zhu was sitting on a small bench and putting dumplings into the amphora pot on the fire pit, Jin Yang was burning the fire, and Zhou Shuixian himself opened the lid on the big stove, which was a pot of braised pork with a bright color.
Zhou Shuixian glanced back, and saw that there were no outsiders, so he first put a piece of it in his mouth with his hand, and then glanced at the hook on the wall, there were only a dozen or so pieces of bacon on it, "Why do you make such a little bacon this year?" ”
Jin Zhu raised her eyelids and glanced at her, ignoring her.
Although this bacon Jinzhu thinks it is delicious, but she can't eat it all year round, to be honest, if she didn't plan to sell a little bacon dumplings next year, she didn't want to keep so much.
Zhou Shuixian saw that Jin Zhu didn't speak, and muttered, "It's this yin death again." Then he walked to the board, there was also a hook on the board, and a basket was hung on it, Zhou Shuixian was about to take down the basket to see what it was, Jin Zhu saw her like this, and couldn't help but ask her: "Mother, what are you looking for?" ”
Zhou Shuixian didn't pay attention to the gold beads, and took down the basket, there were two large pieces of meat in it, she checked it, "Didn't you kill the pig?" There's not a little water or something? ”
"No, it's sold."
Where will the gold beads be used for the water? People in her time didn't eat much water, not to mention that her previous identity was not the identity of eating water, so she really couldn't deal with this water.
"The loser's thing? How much can that sell for? Zhou Shuixian had the intention to take a piece of meat away, but there were still people from the Sun family watching outside, and after thinking about it, he had to put the basket on it.
"Where are these dumplings to eat? I'll light the fire for you, Jin Yang, and you can go and pack some more. Zhou Shuixian, who didn't take advantage, turned back to Jin Zhu.
I used to hear Jin Xing and Jin Bao say that the dumplings wrapped in gold beads were delicious, and Yang Xiaohong also said it, but Zhou Shuixian couldn't wipe it off, and he ran into it today. Nature is meant to be tasted.
Also, she tasted a bite of braised pork just now, which was fragrant and rotten. It's better than she cooked, and she hasn't eaten enough yet.
"Mother, I won't do it." Jin Yang sat still.
Jin Zhu just secretly told her that they would take care of the rest when the guests left, otherwise they would definitely be hungry, because Jin Zhu didn't expect Sun Zhiqiang and his family to come, and he didn't make so many people.
"Then I'll cook it. Gold beads go to the bag. ”
"Mother, you can't cook, this dumpling will break if it is not cooked well. If it's broken, it won't taste good. Jin Yang hurriedly said, because she had boiled it.
"What's so hard about that?" Zhou Shuixian didn't believe it.
"People who haven't cooked these dumplings can't cook them." Sun Xiaoyan came in.
She had seen where she lived, and now she had to look at the kitchen.
The kitchen is not big, and in the southeast corner is a large L-stove. There is also a fire pit on the ground in the middle. This is for braising rice and smoked bacon, and there is a board under the window on the north side, and there is a cupboard next to the board, under which are several baskets and baskets and two jars of sauerkraut, and against the wall on the west side is a rice and oil tank, and a wooden barrel for swill, and nothing else.
This home is indeed too basic.
Jin Zhu glanced at Sun Xiaoyan and didn't say anything. Seeing Yang Dashan coming in, he said that the dumplings were almost ready.
Hearing this, Jin Yang got up and went to the board to get a plate and handed it to Jin Zhu. Jin Zhu tasted one and began to fill the dumplings, and Jin Yang hurriedly went to clean up the table and brought the things into the kitchen.
At the end, a total of five plates of flat dumplings and a bowl of braised pork were served.
"Dad, we made so many dumplings, you can eat them first." Jin Zhu said to Yang Dashan.
Zhou Shuixian saw that there was still her share, and sat down with a smile to accompany the guests, and the few people at the table looked at the dozen or so dumplings on the plate, and their faces were a little unpleasant.
"You eat first, I'll go and ask my daughter to pack a few more." Yang Dashan tossed the dumplings on his plate to Sun Xiaoyan and her brother and sister-in-law's plates, and shouted to Jinzhu to make dumplings again.
Jin Zhu glanced at Yang Dashan coldly, turned around and went into the kitchen, Jin Yang pulled Jin Liu and Jin Niu to follow, who knew that within half a minute, he heard Yang Dashan outside shouting Jin Yang to buy a bottle of soju in the shop.
"I don't have any money." Jin Yang had already held his breath.
"You dead baby." Yang Dashan scolded as he took out ten yuan from his pocket.
"Dad, the rice wine at home hasn't been opened yet, what kind of soju are you going to buy?" Jin Zhu walked out of the kitchen.
"You know what? I have a good use for that wine. ”
As soon as Jin Zhu heard this, he understood, and dared to love Yang Dashan who was still thinking about setting up a few tables of wine.
"Dad, it's getting dark, Uncle and Aunt Sun have to hurry after eating, will you stay with people to drink soju, do you stay at night or not? Not to mention that our family doesn't have a spare house for others to live in, but it really stays, and it is not good for Aunt Xiaoyan's reputation, and Aunt Sun also said that she wants to find a better partner for her. ”
"You shouldn't drink alcohol today, and alcohol is not a good thing, so eat something to make up for it first, and then we will go home as soon as we finish eating." Sun Xiaoyan said.
It's not that she doesn't want to drink because of what Jin Zhu said, but she wants to rush home after eating, and tomorrow she wants to ask Yang Dashan out to talk about the conditions, and she wants to do things before the year.
She is not young now, and she has also lived with Yang Dashan, although Yang Dashan has no ability, but Yang Dashan is honest and responsible, she can take it.
However, this family is indeed too poor and has many children, but Sun Xiaoyan thought about it, since Yang Dashan can leave these children at home for a year, then he can lose them for two years, three years or even five years, and Zuo can only give one or two thousand yuan a year and send it away.
As long as Yang Dashan can go out to work, the two of them can always save 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a year outside, and in a few years she can buy a house in the county seat and rent a shop to do something.
Yang Dashan was full of joy at first to give Sun Xiaoyan braised pork to eat, but when he heard that she was going home, his face immediately collapsed.
"Dashan, I'll wait for you at home tomorrow, my parents haven't seen you yet." Sun Xiaoyan said.
"Huh? Oh, good, good. Yang Dashan was so overjoyed in an instant that he didn't know what to say.
"Okay, don't forget, it's all the end of the year, you can't come empty-handed. Dashan, sister-in-law is not greedy for your family's things, as far as your family is concerned, there is nothing worthy of sister-in-law's covetousness, sister-in-law is for my sister-in-law to look good on her face, you can't say it, Xiaoyan found a man, and the first time she came to the door empty-handed, do you say this is the reason? Xifeng said.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I understand." Yang Dashan nodded.
"Dashan, it's not that I praise my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is famous in ten miles and eight towns, otherwise she can't marry the West family of Tianjiazhai, but who knows, God is not a perfect person, my sister has not given birth to a child for five years of marriage, but it is cheap for you boy, I warn you, my sister grew up in the palm of my father's hand since she was a child, and she has not suffered anything, you can't bully her, otherwise, our two brothers can't spare you if they know it." Sun Zhiqiang said.
"That's, that's, big brother, don't worry."
"I'm not afraid of the mountains, it's just those children, tsk, so many children have to study, when will they get through this day?" Xifeng shook his head and said.
When Jin Yang heard the conversation outside, he glanced at Jin Zhu worriedly, and when he saw Jin Zhu lowering his head and slowly pinching the dumplings in his hand, he couldn't help but push Jin Zhu, "Sister, I'm afraid." ”
"Don't be afraid, there is an eldest sister." Jin Zhu gave Jin Yang a comforting smile, and then looked at Jin Liu, who had been stupid, and said, "Jin Liu, come, eldest sister will pinch a little rabbit for you to play." ”
Jin Zhu said as he took a ball of flour, pinched out a small rabbit and handed it to Jin Liu.
It's just that after pinching this little rabbit, Jin Zhu's mood is not good.
This little rabbit was taught by Jinzhu's nurse to pinch her, she came to this other world, and I don't know what happened to her nurse's family?
Jin Zhu married into the palace, the nurse's family entered the palace with her as a dowry, so many people died in the palace, Jin Zhu was frightened stupid by this sudden change at the time, and after a while, he also stabbed a knife into his chest, and forgot to take care of the nurse.
It's also strange to say, after coming to this world for half a year, Jin Zhu rarely dreams about the things of the previous life, and rarely thinks of her parents, probably she still can't accept this reality subconsciously.
So in this life, Jinzhu will never be an obedient girl again, and she will never give up her studies and future for the benefit of her father, she must fight, not only for herself, but also for the three younger siblings below, because she promised Yang Jinzhu to protect them and grow up well.
"Eldest sister, I want a bunny too." The golden bull's shout interrupted Jin Zhu's recollection.
At this time, the guests outside finished eating the dumplings on the plate, and sure enough, they were only half full, Yang Dashan entered the kitchen to take a look, Jin Zhu only wrapped out a dozen dumplings, and then saw that the rice was not cooked, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, just about to have a seizure, Sun Xiaoyan came in, and she said that she was going home.
Jin Zhu looked at the sky outside, and was a little suspicious of how they could go home, only to see Yang Dashan take out his mobile phone and call Yang Baotian, and a few minutes later, Yang Baotian drove over. (To be continued......)
