Watching Liu Neng run away, he stumbled and fell a few times, Chen Ping at the door of the house felt that his face hurt, but Liu Neng didn't even have time to touch the snow on his body, got up and continued to run.

"This guy can't be a year without seeing meat, right?" Chen Pingdao.

"It's possible." Liu Yuqing nodded, "His family doesn't have many fields, and he has no population, so he relies on those fields on weekdays to avoid starvation, but there is no meat." ”

I went to the hall and got some rice and pork meat, and then some green vegetables, returned to the door of the house, and waited for a while, and in less than half an hour, Liu Neng ran over with a gap in the pottery bowl.

The rice is enough, the pork Chen Ping also took six or seven pieces, there is no problem in tasting the meat, Liu Neng took a slow bowl of rice, and then turned around, and couldn't wait to grab a piece of pork meat and stuff it into his mouth.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." Chewing, first chewed a few bites, swallowed half a piece of pork meat into the stomach, Liu Neng looked at the pottery bowl, with oil, fragrant braised pork, the amplitude of the upper and lower jaws was subconsciously small, and then he pressed the pork meat with his tongue and sucked a little bit.

The sucrose was accompanied by the aroma of meat, with oil, and the slightest hint of it penetrated into the tongue coating, Liu Neng shivered, and was so comfortable that he almost jumped up.

"You, the second generation of the landlord, are not good enough." Looking at Liu Neng's back, Chen Ping turned around and said to Liu Yuqing, "You have to take the villagers to get rich together." ”

Second generation?

"Some people are lazy, some people are diligent, this wealth is in their own house, not something that others can give." Falling on the bolt, Liu Yuqing said, "It can't be to take out my hard-earned money and distribute it to them, right?" ”

, this money was clearly earned by my grandfather's rich man.

This shameless, Chen Ping despised it, and took out the cloth bag: "Thirty taels of silver, you lost to Hong Quan, give it to you." The rest is mine, I'm going to buy a shop in the county or city, and I have a little money in hand. ”

Fifty taels of silver, to be honest, this is all earned by Chen Ping himself, even if he doesn't give Liu Yuqing a penny, his grandfather's family can't be reasonable.

But that's reason, the two families still have a relationship, and Chen Ping can't do this.

"Yes." After receiving the money, Liu Yuqing said, "Is your money enough to open a store?" But if you give me these things to you? ”

In the hall, Liu Banmu was looking at Chen Ping and Liu Yuqing, and when he saw that Chen Ping gave Liu Yuqing thirty taels of silver, his face immediately smiled. This will enter the hall, and when Liu Yuqing said this, his face immediately collapsed.

"It's all family savings, last time I said I was a businessman, but what happened? The whole family almost let you lose, and the money was taken. Liu Banmu said as he arrived in front of Liu Yuqing, took the cloth bag containing the silver coin, and grabbed it in his hand, "I will keep this silver coin, and no one can touch it." ”

No one can move, which means that Chen Ping can't borrow it. People are here, and it's a little embarrassing.

"Grandpa, this is not an outsider, it's your grandson, if he wants to open a store in the county or city, he will definitely be able to make money." Liu Yuqing tried to persuade, "This money was won by Chen Ping from Hong Quan." ”

"Look at the way they eat, two tables, there is actually so much meat. One person also gave two hundred dollars, and after a while, he went to count the taels of silver, and lent out this money, don't be like you, cheaper others. Liu Banmu didn't care, he was worried and scared these days, the money came back, and he was guaranteed, so he didn't want to take it out again, "Isn't there still twenty taels of silver left?" It is also enough to buy a store in the prefecture or city. ”

"Yes, almost." Seeing Liu Banmu coming over, Chen Ping had no choice but to reply like this.

Twenty taels, buy an ordinary store, this should be no problem, but Chen Ping has other ideas, this money is better.

But in such a situation, my grandfather's family may not be able to count on it.

After staying at his grandfather's house for three days, and when the snow on the road had melted halfway, Chen Ping's family drove the ox cart back to Baitu Village.

When passing by the post on the avenue, he also met Zhou Yu, standing at the door of the post and waving to Chen Ping who was passing by.

After opening the courtyard door, Chen Xiaoyi went to return the ox cart and took a salted fish from the beam of the hall house, which is also the proper intention.

After walking for a few days, the livestock in the yard did not know if they were frozen, so Liu put the little lady down and hurriedly went to check the chickens and ducks and other livestock in the backyard.

"It's so comfortable, it's still warm at home." The kang was still warm, and the yin fire inside had not been extinguished, Chen An took off his shoes and ran up, retracting into the futon, "Brother, I'm hungry, you go cook quickly." ”

Chen Ping's stomach was indeed hungry here, so he changed a pair of shoes for his mother, and Chen Ping washed rice and prepared steamed rice.

"Brother Ping is back?" Outside the courtyard, Chen Cripple poked his head out, holding some weeds in his hands, and saw Chen Ping, who was cooking food in the hall, and stepped in with one foot, "I went to the mountains to get some weeds." ”

"Throw it in the backyard, don't leave later, I'm making a meal, let's eat together." Chen Pingdao.

"Okay." Chen Cripple went to the backyard to throw weeds, greeted the Liu family, and then returned to the hall, picked up the linen cloth, wiped the tables and chairs, "In a few days, it will be the first day, Brother Ping, I want to discuss something with you." ”

"What's the matter, tell me." Chen Ping took the salted fish, cut it into pieces, and poured some guine fat into the pot.

The fish was marinated and dried just right, and before it was put into the pot, the fragrance wafted out, and the pepper on it was not sprinkled for nothing.

"Seeing that it is about to come to the first day, there are two old fathers and mothers in the family, and the first few **** went to the county and city to buy a fishing net." Chen Cripple said, his words were a little chaotic, and the meaning was not yet clear.

In the face of Chen Ping, it is better to face Liu and Chen Xiaoyi at ease.

The spatula copied the bottom and turned over the fish pieces, revealing the golden meat surface, Chen Ping probably knew Chen Cripple's thoughts: "Do you want to ask for leave, go back to fishing, and prepare food for the first day?" ”

Chen Ping and Chen Xiaoyi caught some fish in the river a few days ago, and Chen Cripple was also on the side, looking eagerly, so they thought about going and preparing for the festival.

"It's only a few days, I don't know if it's okay?" Chen lame said.

"No problem, go ahead." Chen Ping nodded, Chen Cripple was still dedicated to his own house these days, "Take a salted fish back." ”

"Okay." Chen Cripple had also eaten salted fish, knew the taste, and when he heard Chen Ping say this, he went to fetch the salted fish hanging on the beam.

A medium-sized grass carp, carried by Chen Cripple, was set aside, helping to straighten the table and chairs.

The first day is approaching day by day, and Chen Ping's family is also preparing. After a trip to the county and city, there were many more pedestrians on the road than in the past, and the atmosphere of the festival gradually rose.

During this period, Chen Ping went to the half acre of field in the north of the village, and the wheat seedlings also grew to a height of nearly half a foot, and in another four or five months, they should be harvested maturely.

Uncle Tuo helped to find a store, but there was no exact news, so he bought some goods and eating utensils for the New Year, and waited for the first day.
