Chapter 139
Qi Feng came to the Lu family to replenish the goods yesterday and was reprimanded by Uncle Xiaoyi, and today he made an excuse not to come and asked Zhang Tieniu to run for him. Before coming, Qi Feng told him that he was going to the backyard to help carry the scones, so Zhang Tieniu greeted Lu Zhong and followed him to the backyard with a big grin.
Who wanted to walk to the door of the backyard and heard a commotion of a woman inside, Zhang Tieniu immediately stopped and was in a dilemma.
Lu Zhong smiled: "It's okay, they are in the stove room, the cakes are piled outside, and the old ladies in the countryside don't have so many taboos." ”
Zhang Tieniu still squirmed and still didn't want to enter, and Lu Zhong was not reluctant, "Then you wait here, I'll go in and move." ”
Zhang Tieniu agreed, Lu Zhong went into the backyard alone, and saw that the scones had been neatly stacked on the wooden table next to the pit, some distance from the stove room, and he didn't know what the Tieniu brothers were twisting! Could it be that men are not confident if they have been alone for too long? Lu Zhong thought about the old bachelors in the village, who looked completely stupid as a greedy daughter-in-law, and became more and more incomprehensible to the shy Zhang Tieniu.
Lu Xiaoyi also came to help, hugged a small stack of cakes and walked to the door of the backyard, and saw Zhang Tieniu standing there with a red face, "Uncle Zhang, are you here to replenish the stock today?" Why are you standing here? ”
"Fengzi can't come today because of something." Zhang Tieniu took the scones in Xiao Yi's hand, "Go and move some more, I'll wait here." ”
"Uncle Zhang, why don't you come in and move?" Lu Xiaoyi saw Zhang Tieniu mouthing towards Nunu in the backyard, and said with a red face: "It's inconvenient." ”
Lu Zhong came out with a stack of scones high, and answered: "What's inconvenient, you are just too shy, otherwise you would have married a daughter-in-law early." ”
Lu Xiaoyi liked a shy muscular man like Zhang Tieniu, and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang." You wait for me, and I'll go in and move. After three trips back and forth like this, Zhang Tieniu had enough cakes in his arms to save a high stack before he moved to the carriage outside the courtyard.
After replenishing the goods, Lu Xiaoyi returned to the backyard stove room, and saw that Lu Si's daughter-in-law was still so abnormal, and she didn't bother to take care of her, so she silently stood beside Yulan to help press the cakes. I can also talk and laugh with them. It's better than lying in her bedroom.
In the evening, when the last pit of cakes was baked, the women said goodbye and went home, and Lu Si's daughter-in-law was in a nervous and excited mood all afternoon, and she didn't know if she would be able to sleep at night. I don't know how she will suppress her urgency to start a new business and make a lot of money in the next few days.
The next afternoon. Lu Si's daughter-in-law came later than the first day. Thinking about it, now that her goal has been achieved, where does she still have the heart to help bake cakes. I just thought about messing around for a few days and found an excuse to quit.
Lu Si's daughter-in-law smiled as soon as she came, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" There are too many things at home, and it is delayed, don't blame my brother and daughter-in-law, I must come early tomorrow! ”
Yulan knew her little wrist well, and smiled slightly: "It's not in the way." In my heart, I was thinking about taking the time to invite Sister-in-law Liu!
Yulan didn't mind if she was late, and Wang Dongmei and Sister-in-law Hua couldn't say anything, so they just had to do their own work well.
Lu Xiaoyi said in his heart: "Hmph, no matter if you work for one day or ten days, as long as you are getting paid, you can't be allowed to cheat like this." He deliberately said to Lu Si's daughter-in-law: "Auntie, our cakes are all paid on a one-by-one basis, and if you come an hour late, the cakes baked in front of you will not have your share." ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law was surprised: "Isn't it a day to give twenty wen?" How did it become a one-rate wage? After speaking, he smiled and said to Yulan: "Brother-in-law, look, at that time, my cousin told my grandmother that it was twenty wen a day, how can I say that if I change the hexagram, I will change the hexagram?" ”
Yulan said lightly: "Sister-in-law doesn't know, our scones are indeed paid on a case-by-case basis, and the amount of baking is about the same every day, and it is about twenty wen a day in a month, and my husband is talking about a uniform number, if you don't believe it, you can ask your brother-in-law and sister-in-law Hua." ”
Wang Dongmei and sister-in-law Hua nodded with a smile, in fact, they both knew in their hearts, saying that it was a salary according to one, but in fact it was a process of cooperation between several people, if you knead the dough, I will press the cake, and if you imprint the impression, I will bake the cake, they are all women who have hard work and feet in their eyes, and they don't need to arrange who has to do anything, and the amount baked in the end is evenly divided, ranging from five or six hundred yuan in a month, which is also a good income. Now many Lu Si's daughters-in-law, yesterday they saw that they were not capable people, and they talked a lot, and today they are late, just like there is one more person between the two people who carry the water, and this person not only does not exert his strength, but also hangs on the flat shoulder and waits for the water to drink.
Lu Si's daughter-in-law thought to herself: "It's just a few pennies, I don't care about you anymore, when I make money by baking my own cakes, this money is nothing!" So he smiled and said to Yulan: "Okay, then count, the cake baked before is not my share." ”
Yulan was not polite to her, and said to Lu Xiaoyi: "Xiaoyi, you count the cakes baked first and give them to your second aunt and sister-in-law Hua to remember." ”
Wang Dongmei and sister-in-law Hua were very satisfied with Yulan's approach, and were glad that the fruits of their labor were not taken away, and they were in a good mood.
At this time, Mrs. Lu came from the front yard, and her free supervisor put Xiaofeng to sleep every day and went to work on time, conscientious and down-to-earth, although she didn't take a penny, she didn't knead a dough or eat a cake.
Mrs. Lu walked up to Yulan and took out two boiled eggs, handed them to her with a black face, "Take them and eat them!" ”
Yulan froze, the first time in the world, Mrs. Lu took the initiative to boil two eggs for her, Wang Dongmei and sister-in-law Hua were also stunned, Wang Dongmei knew that Yulan was happy, and immediately understood Mrs. Lu's approach. Sister-in-law Hua couldn't react, in the past few months when she came to help, she still has some understanding of the relationship between Mrs. Lu and Yulan, and she can summarize it in one sentence: mustard is deeply prejudiced, not angry, not salty, not light.
Mrs. Lu stretched out her hand for a long time and didn't see Yulan come to pick it up, and shouted: "Take it!" ”
Lu Xiaoyi held his forehead, grandmother's temper, kindness can't do good things, you can die if you smile a little or soften your tone!
Yulan took it, and the difference on her face was quickly replaced by a stiff smile, she was very uncomfortable with such a Lu Pozi.
Lu Si's daughter-in-law smiled: "Second aunt, you can't be so eccentric, the eldest daughter-in-law has eggs, why doesn't the second daughter-in-law have any?" I don't even have my nephew and daughter-in-law, second aunt, you can't be partial like this! ”
Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Si's daughter-in-law in every way, and glanced at her, "If you stir up trouble again, believe it or not, I'll pluck out a few hairs on your head!" ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law turned pale and secretly scolded herself for being cheap, and had already warned herself not to provoke this crazy woman, why did she forget it? So, I hurriedly shut my mouth.
Yulan took the egg and put it in the bowl on the side, and Mrs. Lu urged: "Hurry up and eat." ”
"I just had lunch and can't eat it." Yulan smiled bitterly and handed the eggs to Wang Dongmei and Sister-in-law Hua, both of them shook their heads, and handed Lu Si's daughter-in-law again, "Sister-in-law, you eat!" ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law hurriedly hid away, don't be pulled by Lu Pozi's hair in order to eat two eggs, and it doesn't sound good to say.
Mrs. Lu was impatient, "Don't you think there are few eggs?" Can't you like it, don't you? If you don't eat it, feed it to the pigs! ”
Lu Xiaoyi knew that Yulan really couldn't eat it, so at noon, Lu Zhong tried his best to pick up vegetables for Yulan, and after eating a meal, half of the dishes went into Yulan's stomach.
Lu Xiaoyi stepped forward with a smile, grabbed the two eggs, and shouted: "I eat and I eat, I love eggs the most." She said this, but her eyes were tightly fixed on Mrs. Lu, and sure enough, Mrs. Lu rushed over to grab it, Lu Xiaoyi jumped and dodged, seized the opportunity to slip out of the stove room, and ran to the front yard, Mrs. Lu roared and chased behind.
Finally lured her out, Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, touched her swollen stomach, and faintly felt nauseated, she quickly took the water cup and poured it down, and finally suppressed the nausea in her stomach. Yulan laughed secretly, before she was diagnosed as pregnant, she did all the work, without any scruples, how could she become delicate as soon as she was diagnosed and pregnant, no, to be exact, she became cautious, and she had scruples about doing anything.
Wang Dongmei said with concern: "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, I ate too much at noon, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable." Yulan slowed down, and when she was more comfortable, she came to help make cakes, but the mold that was still in her hand just now was in the hands of Lu Si's daughter-in-law, heh! is a shrewd person who knows what to do easily. Yulan was not in the mood to worry about her, so she stood beside Wang Dongmei and helped press the cake.
Wang Dongmei was not happy, and said to Lu Si's daughter-in-law: "Sister-in-law, you can help press the cake, and let my sister-in-law make the impression." ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law helped knead the dough and press the cake yesterday, and her arms were very sore when she got up early this morning, or Jia Wei felt sorry for her, and helped her knead it all morning before it was slightly relieved, and at this time she caught the most idle impression, how could she be willing to let go, and said with a smile: "Don't do it if she is uncomfortable, sit down and rest!" Let's just do the three of us, sister-in-law Hua is responsible for mixing noodles if she is energetic, you press the cake first and wait for Xiao Yi to come and be responsible for kneading the dough, I just print the impression, let's divide the labor in an orderly manner, wouldn't it be better? ”
Wang Dongmei really wanted to smash the dough cake in her hand, how could there be such a cheeky and self-righteous person, Wang Dongmei was not a fool, thought about it and replied: "Okay, the sister-in-law arranged it very well, otherwise, let's make fifty cakes in a rotation, this round will be done according to the sister-in-law's arrangement, the next round of sister-in-law will take over the sister-in-law Hua to knead the dough, sister-in-law Hua will press the cake, I will go to the dough agent, how about changing Xiao Yi to imprint?" ”
Sister-in-law Hua loudly agreed, "Okay, this idea is good, I approve of it!" ”
Wang Dongmei counted the cakes on the case, and said with a smile: "Ouch, these are all about thirty, and it will soon be fifty, sister-in-law Hua, don't knead it first, and then knead it in the next round!" ”
Sister-in-law Hua really stopped kneading the dough, picked up the dough, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't knead the dough anymore, help Xiaoyi knead the dough." ”
Lu Si's daughter-in-law moved a stone and hit herself in the foot, panting for breath, and Yulan also pretended not to see it, and pressed the dough cake by herself. (To be continued......)
