Chapter 51: Sister covers you
"Cheng girl, don't you need it......"
They thought that Cheng Yangyang was just saying it casually, but they didn't expect to really buy meat for them.
"Why don't you use it, you have walked for so long with food, how hard it is", Cheng Yangyang insisted, she had already taken them to the pork shop where they bought meat last time.
"Boss, cut sixty-one and two catties of pork!" she also wants to eat.
"Okay, good, master, come to business, come here!"
When the proprietress saw a group of them coming in the dark and wanted to buy her meat, she happily beckoned her father-in-law and son to come and cut the meat for them.
Wang Dashu said no, but the moment the meat was in his hands, he couldn't help but be moved.
In their group, there are many half-grown children, about the same age as Cheng Yangyang, when they were young and rebellious, but they took up the heavy work of the family early, Cheng Yangyang felt sorry for them and was reluctant to eat meat, so he asked them to help this time, saying that he would not pay him anything, but only buy meat.
"Let's go!, let's go home!" Cheng Yangyang held up the two catties of pork in his hand and smiled happily.
A group of people carrying pork came violently and left vigorously.
Out of the city, their restraint in the city was completely released, carrying the pork in their hands and being fatter than others, and the laughter could be heard two miles away.
"Cheng, sister of the Cheng family, thank you", several teenagers who were a few years older than Cheng Yangyang walked up to her, a little shy.
Last time, because of the flower matchmaker's affairs, they didn't dare to get close to Cheng Yangyang, but for so long, they found that Cheng Yangyang was not as difficult to get close to as they imagined.
Seeing her dare to beat Yan Dazhuang today, they were completely impressed by her, a girl, dare to dare to fight, completely different from other girls in the village, they were almost so excited today that they directly recognized her as the boss.
"What's polite, my sister will cover you in the future!" Cheng Yangyang patted her chest, looking heroic, she knew that boys of this age don't like to twist and pinch.
"Who are you sister, we are all older than you", they looked at her, although they were happy, but they would still correct her seriously.
"Yes, yes, my brothers will cover me from now on", Cheng Yangyang joked, she subconsciously thought that she was still twenty-three-year-old Cheng Yangyang.
When they returned to the village, they naturally avoided Yanjia Village, although they had a good fight in the morning, they were still worried that they would be blocked on the road when they went back, and it would be another fierce battle, and Cheng Yangyang didn't want the pork in his hands to stink in his hands.
Because of the affairs of Yanjia Village and the weighing of grain, it took a lot of time, when I returned to the village, it was already dark, a few stars had run out of the sky, the temperature plummeted, everyone stomped their feet while inhaling, and jumped back to the village.
There is no one in Wangjia Village who lights up, and everyone goes to bed early after dark, but today is different, Cheng Yangyang and they have not yet entered the village, they saw a fire burning at the entrance of the village, and it seems that someone is waiting for them to come back.
"Mother, look, there is someone in front, is it that my father is back!" a boy pointed to the dark shadow not far from the entrance of the village and said excitedly.
There were people sitting everywhere they could sit at the entrance of the village, men, women and children, without exception, all of them stretched their necks to look at the path in front of the village entrance, waiting for their fathers, husbands, and sons to come home.
"Daddy!" the boy seemed to see the figure in front of him, and he ran forward to greet him, and his crisp voice was particularly loud in the dark night.
Seeing this, the other children in the village also ran to meet their father and brother, and the originally peaceful village suddenly became lively.
Wang Dafei and the others hurried home and joined the family members waiting at the entrance of the village, "Dad, look, we have meat to eat tonight!"
Even a person like Wang Dafei, who has already got a family, wants to share it with his father and mother as soon as he gets a good thing, but their family hasn't eaten meat for almost a year.
"Eat meat, eat meat!"
Seeing that they all had meat in their hands, those who had helped today, the family was very happy, and they happily went home with the meat, and they were going to make the meat no matter how late it was.
Although the people who helped carry food into the city today are all young and strong in the village, there are still a few families who are old and frail, or whose daughters are unable to contribute, so they can only stand aside and watch them share happily.
The entrance of the village was automatically divided into two sides at once, the crowded side was surrounded by meat, excitedly discussing how to eat, and on the other side, they could only stand awkwardly, wrapping their torn vests tightly, and watching quietly.
Cheng Yangyang empathizes with this feeling, she is also the one who is not greeted, no one shares, and embarrassed, even if she is carrying meat in her hand.
"Brother Daqing", Cheng Yangyang called Wang Daqing, who was happily talking to his family about today's events in the crowd, "What about the pork we bought?"
"What about us", Wang Daqing withdrew from the crowd, and he called out to several other people, "Erqing, Dashen".
Wang Daqing and Wang Erqing are brothers, one is eighteen years old and the other is seventeen years old, because the family has been poor for several generations, their father got married late, and now he can't do heavy work, so he can only call the two of them to help.
They also have a younger sister in the family, sixteen years old, who is older than Cheng Yangyang, but none of them in their family have said that they are married, and they all have no money to make trouble.
Several teenagers walked towards Cheng Yangyang, all carrying a few hangs of pork in their hands.
"Take it and give it to the third grandmother and they will divide it, and the family will hang it", Cheng Yangyang motioned to them.
"Cheng!" Wang Daqing turned around and walked towards the group of people who were watching quietly, "Third Grandma, Aunt Hong, this is for you."
"Ahh
"Yes, everyone has it", Wang Daqing smiled, "The sister of the Cheng family said that there was a bumper harvest, so that everyone in the village would eat meat, and they would be happy."
"Ah, really!" Chen Sanniang and they believed, and the originally silent atmosphere suddenly became lively, "Cheng girl, you broke the bill."
Cheng Yangyang didn't speak, just smiled, she didn't treat her because of the harvest, she just thought of it when she bought meat, so she asked everyone, and everyone agreed that she bought it.
"I'm coming back late today, I'm delaying everyone's dinner, let's go back quickly", Cheng Yangyang said and was about to go to the back mountain, "Oh yes, tomorrow the county magistrate will send someone to buy food from our village, four cents a catty, whoever wants to sell food should be prepared earlier."
"The magistrate wants to buy food, what's the matter?"
"The yamen is short of food now, and if you want to buy food, it's as simple as that", she won't say much about the stakes involved, for fear of causing panic.
"We should keep enough food at home, and if we want to change the rough noodles, we must keep enough to eat until next year, and we won't have to worry about other things", she hinted at it obviously.
Sure enough, Village Chief Wang was an experienced person, and he immediately understood the meaning of Cheng Yangyang's words.
"Everyone remembers what Cheng Yatou said, you have to keep enough food", he stood up to everyone, and said seriously, "This year, I'm afraid it's not going to be easy!"
The older generation in the village understood what was going on, and the atmosphere suddenly became heavy again, even with meat in their hands, they were still panicked.
