Zhang Xiaoman was puzzled and asked, "Why doesn't my mother take it herself, in case I lose it?" ”

was talking stupidly again, Li Yuechan said angrily: "My mother doesn't have the money to give you a dowry, if you can lose your dowry, don't play tricks on your mother when the time comes." ”

Zhang Xiaoman didn't know what it was like, he had mixed tastes, but he only knew that it was uncomfortable.

Li Yuechan knew that she was feeling guilty about what happened before when she saw her expression, and touched Zhang Xiaoman's head, "Don't think too much, you loved to think cranky when you were a child, and when you grow up, you are still like this, you have died twice, and you have the same hard life as your mother, why do you have to share it with your mother so clearly." ”

Zhang Xiaoman leaned on Li Yuechan's arms, "Mother, I will definitely let you live a good life, and I will also teach my younger brothers and sisters well, so that they can be fed and clothed in the future." ”

"That's what happens in a person's life, and anything can pass with a wide heart." Li Yuechan rubbed Zhang Xiaoman's hair, "Mother just hopes that you can have a good home." ”

Perhaps she owes this eldest daughter the most, Li Yuechan has always wanted to make up for Zhang Xiaoman.

Zhang Xiaoman rubbed Li Yuechan's chest and said to Li Yuechan seriously: "Forget the previous grievances, our family has been together, okay?" ”

Li Yuechan patted her, "It's still stupid." ”

Zhang Xiaoman knew that Li Yuechan still couldn't let go.

She straightened up and said with a smile: "It's too late, my father and little brother must not have eaten yet, and my mother is not going to cook?" ”

"What do you think my mother was doing when she went out just now, there is already porridge boiling in the kitchen, and Xiaofu is guarding there." Li Yuechan tapped Zhang Xiaoman's forehead.

Zhang Xiaoman smiled on her face, but she knew in her heart that she was just comforting her.

In fact, Li Yuechan was really angry just now.

Zhang Xiaoman suddenly felt very tired, and thought that Xiao Hei was still hiding behind his back, and it would be bad for Li Yuechan to find out, "Mother, I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while." ”

"Then you'll sleep for a while? When the meal is ready, my mother will come in and wake you up. Li Yuechan lifted the quilt for Zhang Xiaoman.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, watched Li Yuechan go out, took out Xiao Hei from behind and looked at it for a while, then put the silver in the box and locked it, hid the key close to his body, and then lifted the quilt and lay in.

She thought quietly in the dark, and she put the knife under her pillow, and she didn't know when she had fallen asleep.

Because of a series of events, the whole family's dinner was eaten very late, and everyone had happiness on their faces when they ate.

Zhang Erzhu is because he can be with his daughter-in-law tomorrow, when Grandma Zhang left, she didn't ask Zhang Erzhu to get up early the next day to go to the ground, a few days ago, she had to explain that she would let Zhang Erzhu take the child home, and the meal would naturally not let Zhang Erzhu eat at Zhang Dazhu's house, but she would make full use of the people.

In other words, Grandma Zhang didn't explain, so maybe he won't have to watch the child suffer in the future, and more importantly, his eldest daughter didn't die, and she brought so many good things back.

Zhang Erzhu was very happy, "The weather is fine now, but the meat still has to be handled well, otherwise it will stink in a few days." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiaoman is also a little embarrassed, modern times have all kinds of meat curing skills, I don't know if there is in this era, if not, how to preserve the meat that people can't eat at home?

In order not to waste meat, ordinary people will only kill chickens and pigs on days when they do big things, and all the meat that can't be eaten will be given to villagers, friends, and neighbors. This is naturally a way, but it is also a way to divide people, Zhang Erzhu is not a person who can hide his secrets, it is difficult to ensure that he is stupid to send wild fowl to each family tomorrow.

Zhang Xiaoman was the first to speak, "The pheasant was caught back to replenish my mother's body, and my father can't send it out." ”

Zhang Erzhu touched his head and smiled stupidly.

Li Yuechan glared at Zhang Xiaoman.

Could it be that Zhang Xiaoman guessed correctly, Zhang Erzhu had done such a thing before?

Zhang Xiaoman was not calm, and pointed at Zhang Xiaofu and Zhang Xiaotao again, "My younger brothers and sisters also need to replenish their bodies, and it is good for them to drink some of the remaining soup and water." ”

Zhang Erzhu said to Zhang Xiaoman stupidly, "I won't send it out, I'll keep it for you." ”

Then he thought that those things were exchanged for Zhang Xiaoman's life, and his face darkened.

The family ate in the main house, Zhang Erzhu and Li Yuechan sat on the bed, Zhang Xiaoman sat at the low table, sitting in a circle, Zhang Xiaoman was not tall enough, he didn't notice Zhang Erzhu's abnormality at first, and Zhang Erzhu had already put down the bowl after seeing it.

Zhang Xiaoman felt that if she didn't open her mouth again, Zhang Erzhu's next sentence must be that she couldn't eat it, so she pretended not to find out and asked Zhang Erzhu, "Does Dad know a kind of cellar?" The kind that can hide things? ”

Zhang Erzhu returned to his daughter with a smile, "I know, we also have it in our backyard." ”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, there is a gap next to the kitchen leading to the backyard, plant some vegetables and put some wood, but now it has become a wasteland because of the lack of water.

She doesn't go to the backyard very often, so she doesn't find a cellar anywhere.

Zhang Xiaoman said with great interest: "The cellar was dug by my father himself, it's so powerful, I want my father to take me to see it." ”

Zhang Erzhu was praised by Zhang Xiaoman, and the smile on his face was a little natural, "When you were young, you dug with your father, you don't remember." ”

It's Zhang Xiaoman before, Zhang Xiaoman didn't receive such a memory, maybe he forgot it for too long.

Zhang Xiaoman said in a daze: "If only the pheasants could be hidden in the cellar." ”

"Yes." Zhang Erzhu probably also knew Zhang Xiaoman's thoughts, and said: "Our cellar is different from other ones, and the meat can be stored for half a year without spoiling. ”

"Really?" Zhang Xiaoman was slightly surprised.

Half a year, it's been too long, it seems to be a little different from what she knows, but it doesn't have to be the surrounding environment.

Zhang Erzhu touched the back of his head again, "Really." ”

Li Yuechan glanced at the father and daughter, and said, "Sleep well after eating, and you will know if you get up tomorrow and take a look." ”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, and the family casually cleaned up the pheasants and grass carp, and they all fell asleep in excitement and joy.

There was nothing to do all night, but Zhang Xiaoman felt that she had forgotten a very important thing.

Zhang Xiaoman got up at dawn the next day, because as soon as she opened her eyes, she remembered what she had forgotten.

After Qi Er caught grass carp for Zhang Xiaoman, he was instructed to catch a lot of pheasants and hares along the way, including a wild boar, all of which were hidden in an inconspicuous cave at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Xiaoman was afraid that passers-by would take the sheep by the hand, although she was covered with a lot of grass, she couldn't stop worrying.
