Chapter 67: A Visitor to the City
"Mom, why don't you owe a few days first, wait for my father and Zhiqing to buy a few more vegetables, and then send the pig money to my cousin's father's house." Kong Xiaoyu was not stupid, and looked at a few people in the same village with some embarrassment after speaking.
"Well, grandma, just owe it first." Yu Mingyue also saw the inquiring gods of several people in the village, and she stopped crying to help her mother.
Kong Mingying's heart-wrenching expression did not escape the eyes of the few people present, and the few people who wanted to explore the Yu family's family were balanced, and began to persuade Kong Mingying to go on credit.
This time, several people not only praised Yu Mingyue for being sensible and kind-hearted, but also praised Kong Mingying and Kong Xiaoyu for their good words about their children and kindness.
It's just that when a few people said those good words, there was occasionally a trace of shame, schadenfreude, or disdain on their faces, and they were still looked at by Yu Mingyue one by one.
Yu Mingyue has long since stopped ignoring outsiders, and she still can't help but be annoyed at this time: Hmph, these people are villains who are different from the outside, and they stood next to me earlier to find out how many families my family has now, but now they are saying good things, and they are afraid that they are secretly laughing at grandma and mother for spoiling their children too much, regardless of severity, and they don't plan to lose, slap their swollen faces and become fat or something.
Yu Mingyue saw what she understood, and how could she hide it from Kong Mingying and Kong Xiaoyu's eyes, the two adults were also annoyed, but they didn't show it, and directly greeted a few villagers present and asked them to wait a minute, and took Yu Mingyue back to buy Wang Laohan's remaining two piglets.
When Yu Mingyue was making a fuss on the highway just now, Wang Laohan and his wife were still comforting each other, but they really didn't see it, the people on the street were very lively, and they didn't hear the movement more than 20 meters away.
Wang Laohan and his wife, who are in their sixties, have always been kind, but now when they heard Kong Xiaoyu talk about giving two little pigs on credit, they didn't think much about it, and took the initiative to pick up two piglets and send them to the Yang family's trolley on the side of the road.
Although the sixty or seventy-year-old people in the countryside can not be compared with young people, as long as there is no disease or pain, they are still capable, when Wang Laohan picked four piglets, and Mrs. Wang picked two, so when he put down the piglets, Wang Laohan just took a few breaths.
Xiaozhuang Village, where Wang Laohan's family lives, is outside Caiyun Village, and a large part of the road is the same way when he goes back, until he is about to divide the road, Kong Xiaoyu said again about waiting for more than a week to pay the piglets.
Earlier, the Yu family collected money, which was a few cents higher than the vegetable station, which made many villagers begin to suspect that selling vegetables is a money-making job, and now seeing Kong Mingying, who had to pay for the pig on credit in order to spoil the child, had a black face, and the strong Kong Xiaoyu was on credit, and he also lowered his stature to say good things to Wang Laohan, and a few relieved villagers were not to mention how comfortable they were.
In this era, the economic conditions in the countryside were not good, and life was really hard, and there were no entertainment programs to see, and some villagers who had always been small-minded and not high in their hearts saw that some people were not as good as their own families, and they felt that they were superior to other families.
As soon as today passes, the Yu family will not make money by selling vegetables in the city, and they will not have any plans to spoil their children, and it will take less than three days to even buy pigs on credit, and it will definitely be known in the village and outside the village.
Laughing all the way, the little Jiujiu in the hearts of several villagers was clearly understood by the three members of Yu Mingyue's family, but how the three members of Yu Mingyue's family with bitter faces smiled proudly in their hearts, how did a few villagers who gloated know.
"Hey, grandma, look, what a beautiful car." As soon as she arrived at home, Yu Mingyue saw a very new jeep parked on the side of the highway, and hurriedly pulled Kong Mingying's hand. Crying earlier, Yu Mingyue knew that she had upset her grandmother.
Kong Mingying followed the direction pointed by Yu Mingyue and looked at the car parked next to the ditch on the side of the highway, her face flashed with envy and curiosity, but her squinted eyes swept over a few villagers who were chattering, and began to pick up the piglets on the trolley.
"Brother Yang, thank you so much for being able to pull the pig back today." Kong Xiaoyu only glanced at the car, and went to move the pig while thanking him.
"Kong Xiaoyu, what are you doing, why don't you take Xiaoyue home to clean up the pigsty first." Kong Mingying was shocked and elongated his face. I don't know how to scruple when I have children.
"Mom, I didn't" Kong Xiaoyu looked at the villagers who were staring at her, and didn't dare to object: "Mom, then you take it easy." After speaking, I went to pull Yu Mingyue home.
In the countryside these days, there are more superstitious people, who are pregnant with a child for less than three months, they will try their best not to let outsiders know, for fear that some resentful outsiders will make a bad move, and use some witchcraft taboos and other subordinate means to hurt the child who has not yet been souled.
At this time, even if Kong Mingying had already spoken subtly, everyone knew about the past when she and Kong Xiaoyu confronted Mai Mang in the village, and the few men present were down, but several women swept their eyes straight to Kong Xiaoyu's stomach.
There have been rumors in the countryside that when you are pregnant with a child, you can't do this or that, otherwise what will happen if you give birth to a child, Yu Mingyue was heartbroken in her previous life, and she didn't believe in gods and Buddhas for a long time, but now she was reborn and got a weird space, and she had to believe in some things. I was nervous.
"Mom, you have back pain, and Dad said you can't lift heavy things."
A few months ago, Kong Xiaoyu flashed his waist when he was carrying dung, Yu Zhiqing did say this, and Yu Mingyue was not lying at this time.
"My body doesn't know what to watch out for." Kong Mingying, who has always been superstitious, only dared to pull her face and scolded this sentence fiercely, but she was very happy with her granddaughter's cleverness
"Hehe, okay, let's go back to the pigsty." Kong Xiaoyu touched Yu Mingyue's head lovingly, since she didn't listen to the pretending scolding in her heart, seeing that the few women who looked over just now were all laughing and leaving, Kong Xiaoyu frowned and grinned, and walked directly to the gate on the ten-meter-long small slope.
"Hey, Mom, don't pick pigs, it looks like my father and Zhiqing are back from selling vegetables, I asked Zhiqing to come out and pick them." The lock on the door was gone, and the two of them, who were vegetable sellers, went home.
"Grandpa and Dad came back so early today." Yu Mingyue had some doubts in her heart. At this time, it was less than twelve o'clock, and it stands to reason that there was no car back.
Looking back at the jeep parked on the side of the road, the more Yu Mingyue looked at it, the more familiar it felt, and she hurriedly ran forward and pushed open the lightly covered door.
"Ahh Seeing the group of people coming from the courtyard, Yu Mingyue was startled, and then raised a smile: "Grandma Wang, Grandma Chen, Grandma Liu, why are you here today?" ”
"Ha, haha, Satsuki doesn't welcome us?" When Chen Mingming's laughing voice came, the figure also followed up from the stone staircase under the pigsty shed.
"Hello Uncle Chen." No wonder Dad and they went back so early this time, it turned out that Uncle Chen drove everyone back, and it was really difficult for him to be embarrassed by such a small jeep with so many people and baskets and baskets for selling vegetables.
Thinking that she was a little rude because of the accident just now, Yu Mingyue was a little embarrassed, and she was busy following her mother and talking about welcoming a few guests.
After the politeness of the several families, Yu Mingyue hurriedly approached Chen Mingming: "Uncle Chen, have you found the information on raising little wild boars?" ”
"Hehe, I found some information." Before Chen Mingliang came this time, he bought a few books from the library that introduced the habits of wild boars, and brought them all with him this time.
Chen Mingliang has been thinking about the two little wild boars raised by Yu Mingyue's family, and he doesn't have to go to work today and Saturday, so he wanted to come and see it at a moment's notice. When I told my mother Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but be happy.
A few days ago, she, Wang and Liu, two old ladies, wanted to take a look at Yu Mingyue's house, and yesterday they were attracted by the interesting things on the mountain, so they wanted to come and take a trip one day. She ran to greet Wang and Liu, and the three of them coincided, and asked Chen Mingliang to drive them in the car, and went directly to the vegetable market to find Yu Tianzhou's father and son.
Regardless of the opposition of the four people, he weighed two catties of pork belly directly on the market, and thought that the family ate some of the pheasant meat cooked last night in the morning, and Yu Tianzhou weighed two catties of pork ribs.
Then, according to Chen Mingming's arrangement, he put the empty basket on the roof of the car with a long rope, and squeezed into Chen Mingming's jeep and rushed back.
When a few people went to the hall to sit and flip through the information, Kong Mingying took Kong Xiaoyu and began to prepare the meal.
The countryside now only eats two meals, but the people in the city eat three meals, the Yu family now sells vegetables every day, and they eat one more meal at dawn in the morning, and this morning is the most hearty, casually eating some pheasant meat cooked last night.
But the original early hunger at noon cannot be saved, not to mention that there are four distinguished guests from the city at home today, and everyone in the city has to eat lunch.
In the stove room, Kong Xiaoyu felt a lot more relieved when she saw the meat and pork ribs on the Fang dining table. There is also stewed pheasant soup at home that has not been touched with chopsticks, which should not slack off the distinguished guests.
After helping to work in the stove room for a while, Kong Xiaoyu was a little uneasy when he saw the pine cones still drying in the courtyard. Today, the guests in the city came, but the pine nuts have not yet been sunburned, and there is really nothing to give away at home when the guests leave.
"Mom, I don't know when Director Chen and they will leave, and those pine nuts at home won't be able to knock out many pine nuts for a while, do you want to catch a chicken and give it to the three of them?" There are 9 chickens at home, 4 males and 5 females, and the big red rooster does not lay eggs, but it is the most handy to give away.
Kong Mingying was stunned for a moment when asked, a trace of reluctance flashed on his face, but he nodded hardly: "Well, just catch the rooster and send it, when you feed it for a while, you will catch three and tie it on the foot cover, and there are dozens of eggs saved at home, and 10 eggs will be sent to Sister Wang and Sister Liu's family, and 20 will be sent to Director Chen's family." ”
Those are all big officials in the city, and they are here to deliver books to the house, so they can't be too shabby. In Kong Mingying's cognition, a director in the district is a great official, and she is really content to have a director in the district come to her home as a guest in this life, and she can't be lazy.
It's no wonder that Kong Mingying would order this, although the Yu family is very close to the three old ladies, but even Yu Mingyue doesn't know that Mrs. Wang's wife is the secretary of the district standing committee and her son is the deputy head of Jiang in the district. This Kong Mingying didn't know it, but according to her character, she divided the three guests.
"Mom, this is not good, they are all guests who come to the house together, the three aunts have always taken care of our Xiaoyue, and the gift that Aunt Wang gave to Xiaoyue last time was not light." Kong Mingyu disagreed when he heard it, and was busy persuading Kong Mingying to dispel the practice of offending people.
I have to say that Kong Xiaoyu, who has read books for a few years, is more able to deal with people, Kong Mingying thought about it a little at this time, but he also felt that the idea just now was inappropriate.
"Okay, okay, then each family has 10 eggs, and when the next time I send pine nuts, I will send more to Director Chen's family." The director is such a big official, it is not necessary to give more gifts.
I have to say that Kong Mingying, who used to be the granddaughter of a big landowner, is very good at cooking.
For more than an hour, when a small pot of spicy pork ribs, a large pot of mountain mushroom pheasant soup, two large bowls of garlic sprouts and pot meat, two large bowls of dry stir-fried cowpeas, and two large bowls of cold cucumbers were served, several people in the hall who were thinking about the major events of wild boar breeding also talked about it.
The three families saw Yu Mingyue's poor family background earlier, and now they saw the sumptuous meals on the table, and they felt very uncomfortable.
After a period of sincere politeness, everyone sat around the square table in the stove room to eat.
"Xiaoyue, let's take grandma and your Uncle Chen up the mountain to play today." As soon as she finished eating, Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to put forward another purpose of her trip. R1152
