Chapter 85: A Little Storm
Kong Xinggang, who was carrying a basket of nearly 50 catties of olives, was tired and hungry, and he was so aggrieved that he saw Yu Mingyue suddenly go out, and asked such a sentence, and felt even more aggrieved, but he was stubborn and didn't want to complain to a little junior.
"It's getting dark, it's still early." Kong Xinggang's tone was not very good, and he saw that Yu Mingyue was obviously about to close the door just now, so he asked instead, "What about your mother, is she still in the field?" ”
"Well, I should still be in the field with my grandmother, and today my family is removing cabbage grass."
Yu Mingyue didn't ask much, and said: "I'm hungry, brother-in-law and I have some food first, today I fried your favorite tomatoes and eggs, and after eating, we will go to the public sales agency to buy sugar, and by the way, I will call my mother and grandma back." ”
Kong Xing had already had a rumbling stomach, he was very hungry, I heard that he could eat immediately, and there were good dishes he loved to eat, just when Kong Mingying was not at home, he didn't have to pretend to be obedient in front of Kong Mingying, and after a turn of thought, he responded.
He was inexplicably scolded by his mother at home, and now he is still aggrieved, and he wants to eat a quiet meal to fill his stomach earlier.
Although Kong Xinggang is greedy for food on weekdays, he will also look at the momentum, and after helping Yu Mingyue to divide a small half of the tomato scrambled eggs and cabbage soup in the big pot on the table, he took the initiative to help Yu Mingyue also take a bowl of rice and devoured it.
The two of them just put away the bowl, and it was getting dark, Kong Mingying and Kong Xiaoyu, who were hoeing cabbage in the field, only returned home at this time, Kong Xinggang was also sensible, and said sweetly on the left "Auntie is eating", and another sentence "Auntie, don't be busy, I'll come." shouted, put the dishes, chopsticks and vegetables and rice on the table in a few clicks, and gave his eldest sister and Kong Mingying both a good meal.
Since the relationship with the Kong family has become closer, Kong Mingying is not as stingy as before, Kong Xinggang has always been obedient and ingratiating in front of her all these years, and his eyes will come to things, Kong Mingying knows that he has already eaten, but he smiled and greeted enthusiastically a few more words to eat, and there was no turmoil as before.
Taking advantage of the two adults to eat, Yu Mingyue knew that her brother-in-law would not complain to her mother in front of outsiders, so she directly pulled her brother-in-law to the public sales agency to buy candy.
Although Kong Xinggang didn't say anything much, Yu Mingyue knew that her brother-in-law was scolded by her grandmother at home today, and this reason was eight out of ten. Nine is the basket of olives.
Yu Mingyue has never mentioned the words to the olive fruit, but until now she has not heard her uncle take the initiative to mention a few words, but she began to be a little anxious, although the olive fruit does not do it, but the matter of collecting melon seeds is related to her current income and the development of several families in the future.
"Uncle, how much sugar do you say is appropriate for pickling these olives today?" Yu Mingyue doesn't like to ask nonsense, and when she asks, she has two purposes, one is to bring up the topic of olive fruit and see his uncle's attitude, and the other is to take the opportunity to push the idea of buying sugar to her uncle.
Sugar is used to pickle olives, Yu Mingyue has already mentioned it on the mountain road during the day, Kong Xinggang was only stunned for a moment, then pouted and said: "I don't know, didn't you say that you can still use salt to pickle, salt is cheaper than sugar, and you can buy some salt later." Tell me how the people in the city pickle it, and if it is unclear during the day, how can I calculate it, and make it clear, I will have to buy salt and sugar by then. ”
As soon as Kong Xing finished speaking, Yu Mingyue couldn't answer, and asked in surprise, "How much money did you bring out?" I came out after closing the sheep, I didn't bring any money with me, and I will remember how much I used today, and when I calculate it, I will give you our share with Xiaoyan tomorrow. ”
Yu Mingyue was greatly relieved at this time, she always knew that her brother-in-law was the most stubborn, and she was afraid that after he was scolded today, he would no longer touch olive fruit or make money in business partnerships.
She has always had a bottom in her heart about how much sugar she wants to buy, and she has enough money, and she has the soul of an adult, and Yu Mingyue also knows very well that even if she is doing business in partnership between relatives, the accounts are well calculated.
took out 20 yuan to show off, Yu Mingyue acquiesced in his heart that his uncle wanted to invest evenly and share the profits, and directly began to talk about "seeing" people in the city making pickled olives.
Although Kong Xinggang is nearly 16 years old, after all, he grew up in the countryside of this era, and he is not mature to consider the problem, plus he earned the first "huge" private money in his life by relying on Yu Mingyue's idea earlier, and he inexplicably trusted Yu Mingyue, otherwise he would have been deceived by Yu Mingyue's words "If you have seen others in the city, you will learn it" during the day, and they will join forces to do a small business for the three of them with such enthusiasm.
When the two adults heard Yu Mingyue say that they were going to buy candy, they originally thought that Yu Mingyue was greedy like a child in the village, and they were surprised for a while, and when they saw Kong Xinggang and Yu Mingyue proposing ten catties of rock sugar and ten catties of salt, they were directly startled.
Kong Mingying was the most distressed about money, seeing Yu Mingyue buying so many useless and expensive things for no reason, she was very distressed for a while, and when she heard Yu Mingyue say that she was going to make candied olives and salted olives, she was even more distressed and took away the two bags to prevent things from being wasted.
Most of this situation was expected by Yu Mingyue, but she didn't expect her grandmother to be so opposed, so she was busy and took out the things she "saw" and "learned" in the city, and by the way, she also talked about making several flavors of melon seeds.
It's just that when I was talking, I still skipped the details of where I saw and learned, after all, now the three old ladies in the city have the same relationship with her grandmother as old sisters, and they will come to her house from time to time as guests.
In the details of making zuò, Yu Mingyue made it clear, Kong Mingying and Kong Xiaoyu are both adults, plus Kong Mingying was the eldest lady of Kong's landlord's family back then, although the old landlord Kong was thrifty at that time, but Kong Mingying still ate a lot of good things and rare snacks, and after listening to it for a while and thinking about it, I felt that the things that Yu Mingyue learned made some sense.
Not to mention anything else, just pickling green plums, Kong Mingying will make it, this thing was learned by a mother-in-law who worked as a long-term worker at home when she was a girl, but later the family fell into the middle of the road, and encountered various changes, and it became a problem to eat enough, and Kong Mingying no longer had the heart to make that kind of little snack that was troublesome and couldn't fill her stomach.
In the past, Kong Mingying didn't like to mention it the most, but he only roughly said that he would make two or three flavors of plums, and when Yu Mingyue was so happy, he smiled and listened while reminiscing, and began to try to make the first batch of candied olives and the first batch of salted olives.
I have to say that although Kong Mingying is stingy, or should I say that she cherishes things, she is still a person with plans and brains, when she first tried to make it, she only made more than two catties of each flavor, and its purpose is self-evident, that is, she is afraid of causing a waste of sugar and salt if she does it badly.
The olive thing has been released, and it can be put for a long time without being bad, Yu Mingyue is not worried, and she interjects from time to time on the side, so she is not worried about what waste will be caused, after all, in the previous life, her own grandfather taught her and her cousin to do it, originally to do it to satisfy their hunger, and later when the family was more difficult, they did a lot of hopeful and sold it at the market, but at that time, the market in the countryside was mostly farmers, and everyone was still too poor, so it was not easy to sell.
Two seasons a year, I made different things to sell, but they all failed. At that time, in addition to sadness and only loss, they were still too young, and their horizons were not wide, and they did not think of selling them in the city, and finally spent a lot of money to buy rock sugar, licorice, and went up the mountain to pick red berries, and made several flavors of olives, green plums and other things, all of which became the snacks of the three sisters.
To this day, she still remembers the taste that was very sweet when she ate it in her mouth, but made her feel bitter in her heart.
After that year, they never did it again, until they became adults, and the conditions became better, and every March, April and winter, she would make some for her cousins and cousins, and eat some for herself, so as to remember her grandfather, who had passed away.
When she was thinking about the most familiar things in her previous life, Yu Mingyue saw that her grandmother was doing a good job, and the general direction was not wrong, so she began to let go of her thoughts and thought a lot, although she was sad, she also felt more satisfied, after all, her mood was different at this time.
Now that her relatives are alive, she has the opportunity to rely on her adult thoughts and skills to work hard to change and create a better ending, and every memory makes her determination to protect her relatives stronger and stronger.
Kong Xinggang came out early today, the main purpose is actually to find Kong Xiaoyu to confide in his grievances, and to get a little comfort from his eldest sister. After seeing that the thing was ready, he took his eyes that were still a little red and peeked at Kong Xiaoyu.
Kong Xiaoyu is the sister of the Kong family, and she knows her brother Mo Ruo, she has been a sister and a mother to several younger siblings over the years, how could she not see Kong Xinggang's aggrieved look and want to find comfort, it was getting late, so she directly took Kong Xinggang home as an excuse, and took her red-eyed little brother Kong Xinggang out of the door.
Although she was a little worried that her mother would be wronged, Yu Mingyue did not follow, hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, and then hearing her grandmother's unhappy but worried muttering, Yu Mingyue only smiled a little bitterly.
Over the years, she has long been familiar with this scene, whether it is her brother-in-law, or the other two uncles and two aunts, who have been greatly wronged at home, they will inevitably come to her mother to complain for comfort, and the root of the grievances must be inseparable from her grandmother.
Who does her grandmother want to scold, who she wants to be wronged, she doesn't need a reason, she doesn't need a root, she doesn't want to inquire, and she doesn't want to follow, the clearer it will only make her sad, she just wants to work hard to make everyone's life better, and try to find an opportunity to expose Tang Wanfang's true face as soon as possible, so that her grandmother can no longer find the reason and root cause of wanting to scold, and recently become the grandmother who made her feel kind and respected in her previous life.
Yu Mingyue has always felt that although every day in this life is bitter and happy, and she is often frightened, she is lucky and happy, compared to her previous life, she is really lucky and too happy, she just wants to cherish every relative now, cherish and work hard to live every day.
I have to admit that every time I go up the mountain now, it is a tiring thing for Yu Mingyue, sitting dryly in the hall with Kong Mingying and roasting the fire, Yu Mingyue couldn't help but fall asleep, Kong Xiaoyu entered the hall with red eyes.
Kong Mingying has been at odds with Luo Zhengfen since he entered Kong's house, and he began to count Luo Zhengfen by taking advantage of today's incident.
Yu Mingyue didn't want to embarrass her mother, nor did she want her mother to be more tired, so she said goodnight to her grandmother and dragged her mother back to the wing room on the pretext of going to sleep.
Being held in Kong Xiaoyu's arms, Yu Mingyue didn't persuade or worry about anything, and soon fell asleep, today's incident was just a small turmoil for Yu Mingyue. R1152
