Chapter 63: Snatching Meat
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, the dog got up with a few people left, everyone discussed, there were not too many people to go to the town, the dog still had a wound on his face, so he stayed in the mountains with a hammer, wood, Gangzi, and Shunzi.
The dog leftovers, the three cubs, the pot, the mallet, and the thunder went to the town.
I bought some black noodles, a few pairs of rough quilts, and as for the mattress, just spread some grass underneath.
After buying some other things, a few people went back, they didn't dare to buy too much, these silver were given by the boss Xiaoxiao, although they gave as much as ten taels, but they couldn't be too big.
"Niu Niu, today you and your little sister go to the mountains to pick up some dry firewood and come back."
"Huh?"
Niu Niu, who was picking up rice in his mouth, was stunned, and the eldest sister was really not ambiguous at all when she used him now.
"The dry firewood at home is almost gone, you two go to the mountains to collect firewood, there is no firewood for cooking, you go to drink the northwest wind?"
"Oh, got it."
Niu Niu felt that the eldest sister's attitude towards him was very unfriendly, but he obviously didn't do anything.
So, why is that?
"Let's go, then."
Xiaoxiao got up, wiped her mouth, and walked out.
Cheng Niuniu looked at the last bite of rice left in the bowl, quickly put the rice into his mouth, and quickly got up.
"You two are here to collect firewood, don't run too far, I'll go inside."
"Okay, big sister."
"Well, eldest sister, you can go with confidence."
Cheng Niuniu looked well-behaved, but what he said was not so good, what does it mean to go with confidence? !
"Well, you also collect firewood for me obediently, and you are not allowed to rely on your second sister, if I know, I will let you pick up the dry firewood alone this winter."
"Got it, big sister."
Niu Niu's original excited mood instantly went down, the eldest sister is a devil, or a devil who doesn't like him.
Not long after the few people went out, Liu Xiuyu took Wang Chunxi to Aunt Wang's house.
Aunt Wang was tidying up the house, and yesterday afternoon, the village chief took those people to help build a thatched house, and was busy until dark, and wanted to keep them to eat, but said that he would not eat at their house.
Xiaoxiao had no choice but to give them a fish, although they didn't eat, but they got another fish, and they were very happy.
Since it was too late last night, a few people would still sleep in the same room, and now that they were out, she happened to be fine, so she began to clean up the house.
"Auntie, are you at home?"
Chunxi screamed, she and her mother watched Xiaoxiao and them go out, and now her aunt is the only one left in the house, she must eat meat.
When Ma Qiuying heard the voice, her brows furrowed, and she walked out not too reluctantly:
"Chunxi, what's wrong?"
"Auntie, are you home alone?"
"What's the matter?"
"It's not Chunxi's girl, it's not easy to say that her aunt is alone, I want to come and see you, how can anything happen?"
Liu Xiuyu said on the side.
"Well, auntie, I had a dream last night, I dreamed of my aunt, and I made meat to eat."
"You kid, I said it all, the aunt in my dream is as good as the aunt in my life, I don't believe it, I want to come here without even eating my morning."
"Auntie, will you make me meat to eat like the aunt in your dreams?"
Ma Qiuying watched the two of them singing double reeds there, and also knew the purpose of their coming, thinking that they didn't get meat from here yesterday, and they didn't stop today, and continued to pester her.
"We've already eaten, you're late."
"I've eaten."
Liu Xiuyu's eyes rolled, of course she knew that they had eaten, she and Chunxi came over to watch so early, could they not know that they had eaten?
"That's okay, or you can give Chunxi some raw pork, and I'll take it home and cook it for her."
"Well, auntie, or you can give us a little raw, and I'll let my mother go home and cook it for me."
Chunxi wanted to drool at the mention of meat, she really hadn't eaten meat for a long time, only every time the eldest brother came back from the academy, her father and mother were willing to buy meat once, and only when the eldest brother had eaten enough, she could eat the rest, only a few small pieces, eating it was not enjoyable at all.
"We don't have any more in our family."
"How so? I've heard people say that you have a whole wild boar in your house. ”
Liu Xiuyu didn't believe Ma Qiuying's nonsense, such a big pig, even if some of it was distributed to the people in the village, they wouldn't be able to eat the rest in a day.
"There is indeed a whole pig, but yesterday Xiaoxiao took it to the town and sold it, and there is no more at home."
"If not, forget it."
Liu Xiuyu was a little regretful,
"This is the new house that was built for you yesterday, right?! Chunxi, let's take a look and see if there is anything missing in your aunt's house, and we will help buy some then. ”
After Liu Xiuyu finished speaking, she pulled Chunxi into the house, and Ma Qiuying didn't even have time to say no.
The empty room, there was nothing in it, only some things scattered on the ground, Liu Xiuyu saw that there was no meat in this house, and pulled Chunxi to another room.
"There's nothing to see in our house, I have other things to do, why don't you go back first?"
Ma Qiuying thought that she had already said this bluntly, so why did Liu Xiuyu have to go back, but unfortunately she underestimated Liu Xiuyu's cheekiness, and the two of them didn't hear it, and continued to sweep the other room.
"Hey, Qiuying, didn't you say that your family has no meat? Why is there still here? ”
Ma Qiuying stood there awkwardly, wanting to say to them that there is, but I don't want to give it to you.
But I couldn't say anything, so I had to come up with another reason:
"Oh, maybe I forgot."
"I forgot, but it's okay, we won't blame you, didn't you just say you had something else to do? Then you can get busy, Chunxi and I will go back first. ”
After Liu Xiuyu finished speaking, she took the piece of meat and pulled Chunxi away.
"Hey."
Ma Qiuying looked at the two mothers and daughters who were oiled under her feet, and said in a low voice:
"My meat."
Chunxi followed Liu Xiuyu home, and she was extremely happy all the way, and her eldest brother didn't stop bathing today, so she was alone with this meat.
The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny.
When Liu Xiuyu cooked the meal, Chunxi couldn't help but ask when he looked at the only few pieces of meat in the dish:
"Mother, why is there only such a little bit of meat?"
"Your brother spends his brain on studying, and he needs to make up for it, I'll ask your father to send it to your brother in a while, isn't there still so much meat in this dish? It's all yours, eat it. ”
Chunxi looked at a few pieces of meat in the dish, don't think she's small, she doesn't know, the eldest brother has secretly taught her to count, she deliberately counted the meat on the plate,
"One, two, three, four, five."
Some didn't believe it, and deliberately counted it again, there were really only five pieces, the joy of the morning was gone, my father and mother were really eccentric, this meat was earned by her, but my mother only gave her five pieces, and it was only as big as a fingernail, I wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it, so I had to pick up chopsticks and eat all the five pieces of meat.
Eccentricity is eccentricity, when the eldest brother embarks on a career, he will also find a good family for her, maybe he will be a rich wife of which family, so now she still doesn't care so much.
