Chapter 67: Fawning
By the time the three of them returned to the house, Chen had already woken up. Seeing the appearance of the three of them covered in mud, Chen wanted to get up in distress, but because his whole body was weak, he just wanted to stand up, and he fainted for a while.
Lin Xiaoman and the others hurriedly stepped forward and helped Chen to lie down. Lixia pouted and said, "Mother, don't get up, if you don't make a good one, my little sister will have to stare at her eyes bigger than my fist again!" ”
When she said this, everyone immediately laughed, and the originally tense atmosphere eased. Lin Xiaoman glared at Lixia, and Lixia immediately screamed, "Look! Look! As soon as he finished speaking, he glared at me again. ”
Being shouted by her like this, Lin Xiaoman, who originally wanted to hold his face, was suddenly deflated. But he muttered in his mouth: "Just look at you, how can anyone stare at you!" By the way, mother, this is the silver sent by Aunt Lin, you have taken it! As he spoke, he took out the money bag given by the Lin family and handed it to the Chen family.
When Chen saw it, he said excitedly: "Your Aunt Lin is so polite, why did you get the money so quickly!" As he spoke, he counted the money, and after confirming that it was correct, he waved his hand to ask Gu Yu to take out her cash box where she hid the money under the bed.
Chen carefully put the bag of money into the box, which now contained not only the twenty taels of silver that sold the tiger, but also the money from the sale of yellow essence and sweet potatoes, as well as an old silver ring and a pair of silver hairpins.
In case Zhao Fuhu takes the field back, then the money will be the life-saving silver of their family. She thought about it, took out thirty copper plates from the box, and asked Gu Yu to help her push the cash box back under the bed.
"Gu Yu, you take this money to the butcher shop at the head of the village to buy some meat and come back." Chen thought that Lichun fell into the water this time, and it was a big disaster not to die, although he saved his life. But she still has no bottom in her heart.
Only then did he take the money and ask Gu Yu to go to the butcher shop to buy some meat, which could be regarded as replenishing Lichun's body. When Lixia heard it, he immediately pulled Lin Xiaoman forward and said, "Mother, let me go buy it with my little sister!" The second sister still has to cook for you! ”
Chen hesitated slightly, then nodded. Said: "Okay then! Don't be naughty when you two go, go early and come back early, you know? ”
Lixia and Lin Xiaoman hurriedly nodded yes. Then he took the thirty yuan given by Gu Yu. And he ran towards the door. Lin Xiaoman was almost dragged out by Lixia, and he walked for a while before Lixia slowed down.
Lin Xiaoman panted and said, "Third sister." Are you chasing a wild dog? Why are you running so fast? ”
Lixia turned his head and laughed at Lin Xiaoman, only to laugh so that Lin Xiaoman's scalp was numb. Lin Xiaoman hurriedly waved away Lixia's hand holding her, then rubbed his arms and said, "Third sister." Don't laugh so disgustingly, okay? I listened in a panic. ”
Lixia heard Lin Xiaoman say this about her, and his eyes suddenly stood up. I was about to lose my temper, but when I thought of something, I licked my mouth and couldn't help but get angry. She stepped forward. hugged Lin Xiaoman's arm and said flatteringly: "Little sister, is the third sister good to you?" ”
Lin Xiaoman was confused, but nodded honestly. Said: "Good! ”
"Little sister, this time we went to the pig killer to buy meat. By the way, can I buy some more of the pig you got last time? As he spoke, he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva. Licking her lower lip vigorously, she felt that the tip of her mouth still had the feeling she had when she ate the fat sausage last time, as well as the stir-fried pork liver and pig heart.
Looking at Lixia's greedy appearance, Lin Xiaoman almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. She knows that if she has nothing to do, she will either be a traitor or a thief. It turned out to be a gluttonous intestine, and this is not difficult.
Anyway, the eldest sister and the mother also want to replenish their bodies, and then ask the pig killer to buy some fat meat and oil, and then get some tube bones and pig water by the way. Get something different for the eldest sister and mother every day, and everyone can also add a little nutrition.
It's just that in case Lixia wants her to fatten her intestines every time in the future, she shouldn't be tired! Lin Xiaoman rolled her dark eyes, and then she pursed her lips and smiled: "Third sister, you will have to wash those pigs in the water then!" ”
When Lixia heard Lin Xiaoman agree, she immediately jumped up and patted her thin chest and promised: "No problem, as long as you are willing to do it, little sister, I will do it!" ”
Lin Xiaoman heard the whistling sound, and a few black lines flowed on his forehead, fortunately, Lixia is still a child, if it is an adult, then the chest will not be flattened? However, she didn't dare to say this to Lixia, she was afraid of Lixia's violent temper, and she might chase her directly.
Lixia was in a hurry, dragging Lin Xiaoman towards the butcher shop, and the last time the little sister made that fat sausage a lot of time. If you buy it early, you can go home early to do it, and my mother also said that let them go early and come back early.
As soon as he walked to the door of the butcher shop, Lin Xiaoman saw the younger woman who had taken a ride to Bai Town with him before. The woman was sitting at the door knocking melon seeds, and when she saw someone coming, she hurriedly smiled and asked, "What do you want to buy?" ”
When I looked closely, I realized that it was two little children, and there was actually the little fool of the Lin family who was in the car together last time. He immediately took a sip of saliva to the side and sat down again. picked up the melon seeds next to him, and squinted at Lin Xiaoman and them while snorting.
Lixia didn't have any dissatisfaction with her reaction, after all, there was such a pig killer in the village. The pig breeders in the village will invite the pig killer to kill the pig at home every Chinese New Year.
Although the profession of a pig killer is a lowly profession, it is also indispensable. There are many people who come to beg, so this Zhao family feels that he is a level higher than the people in the village.
Although Lin Xiaoman didn't like her appearance, he wouldn't quarrel with her. Just pulling Lixia to look at the board where the meat was placed, Lixia saw a pile of bones piled on the side, and a pig in a wooden basin under the meat board went into the water. Hurriedly pulled Lin Xiaoman's sleeve, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Lin Xiaoman's look.
After Lin Xiaoman looked around, he looked up with a smile, looked at Zhao and asked, "This aunt, how much does this fat meat cost a pound?" How much is lean meat a pound? "Nor do they glance at the bones and the pigs.
This woman, when she bought rice with her eldest sister last time, knew that this person was the insatiable type. If she knew that they were going to buy this pig, she would definitely take the opportunity to increase the price.
Zhao didn't expect Lin Xiaoman to look like a smile on his face, and he was stunned, but he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person. What's more, she came to ask the price of things, and if she could sell a little, it would be money! No one wants to get along with money, let alone her who loves to be cheap.
"This fat meat costs 28 yuan a catty, and the lean meat will give you a cheaper, 25 yuan a catty!" Zhao said lazily to Lin Xiaoman. (To be continued) R655
