Chapter 334: Daydreaming
Yueniang couldn't control her hands and mouth, and from time to time she kissed Tang Yuan'er's little face, or pinched her little hand with her hand, causing Tang Yuan'er to hum several times in her sleep, and almost opened her mouth to cry.
The sisters talked until late and fell asleep, and the next day they got up late. When they hurriedly blocked it and returned to Guo's house with Tangyuan'er, the hair of the big fat pig had been shaved, and Guo Laoshi was holding a sharp knife to disemboweling the pig.
When killing pigs, the white knife enters and the red knife comes out is more terrifying, and it is very confusing to the eye when it is disemboweled.
Guo Mianmian hugged Tang Yuan'er and stretched his neck to look, and at a glance he saw a finger thick fat at the cut surface, so he said to Mu's: "Mother, this pig is so good, next year you can catch a few more piglets and return, and open a pig farm." ”
Mu thought about it, and unexpectedly thought that this idea was good, so he said: "Our old house is still there, you can raise pigs in the old house, and we rarely raise them, just raise a dozen or so to eat by ourselves." ”
Seeing that the old lady was really coming, Guo Mianmian followed up with an idea: "Then raise ten heads first, and then plant pigweed on the few pieces of land not far from home that can't grow food, and don't worry about the pigs not eating, and it is convenient to cut pigweed." ”
As soon as the mother and daughter said yes, they decided on the pig raising plan for the coming year, and did not ask the rest of the people for advice at all.
Do the rest have any suggestions? No! Even if there is, it will be quietly pressed in his heart, and he will not dare to confide in half a "no", so as not to attract the joint crit of the mother and daughter.
Guo Mianmian "instigated" Mu's pig raising, naturally not to sell pigs for profit. She tried her best to promote this matter, because she realized that the premise of her family had improved, and there was no shortage of people to work on the fields that she had returned, and Mu, who felt that there was no "place to use", became very sensitive, and her personality became a lot hotter.
In the past, Guo Mianmian also proposed to buy two little girls for Mu Shi to return, help her with laundry and cooking, Mu Shi didn't want to be strong, but he didn't have the level of being experienced and wanted to be fed, which would make her think that she was a waste.
Guo Mianmian could understand Mu's thoughts, and saw that Mu's raised pigs very well, and the pride and pride after being praised couldn't hide it, so he put forward a proposal to raise pigs on a whim, which can be said to be very in line with Mu's urgent need to show his own price.
It's just that Mu still has doubts, and said worriedly: "Mother's body and bones are okay, and there is no doubt at all about raising ten pigs, that is, there are only a few people in our family, even if we eat roast pork, we can't eat one in a month, right?" Besides, I can't let go of the pork when it's hot, and it's strange to rush to the town to sell it to the pig merchants, so what's the matter? ”
"Mother, if we can't finish eating, we can sell it to the rest!" This question came to mind when Guo Mianmian came up with an idea. Even if she doesn't raise pigs to make money, she won't lose money, otherwise how can she make the old lady feel comfortable: "In the past two years, the lives of several villages next to us have been much better, haven't you noticed that many families go to the town to buy meat to eat?" ”
In the past, every family had a hard time, but they were willing to cut some meat during the New Year's festival to let the family get some meat, so there were usually few people who bought meat to eat.
Now it's different, most of the people in the next few villages rely on the Zheng family and the Guo family, and they have a little extra money in their hands, and their requests for food and drink have increased, not to mention that there is meat every day, eat it once a month or be willing to do it, Guo Mianmian is not worried that the pork will not be sold.
"That's right, why didn't my mother think of it!" Mu slapped his hands, and couldn't find the edge: "My mother is really old, I really didn't think of this stubble, if it weren't for your prompting, my mother would still be figuring out where to find a reliable pig businessman!" ”
Guo Mianmian smiled and responded: "This pig merchant doesn't have to look for it, you work hard to raise pigs, and your father will work hard to kill pigs, and say hello to the village before killing pigs. ”
Mu nodded, no longer worried about raising pigs.
The conversation between the mother and daughter made Guo Laoshi, who was relieving the big fat pig, listen to the whole process, and muttered quietly: "I thought that this age could enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren, but I didn't think that I would have to kill the pig, and this old woman would not be able to see anyone live in peace!" ”
Mu's attention was on raising pigs, so he didn't hear his wife's words. Guo Shu and Guo Lin, who helped with each other, were close, and they heard the old man's words clearly, and they all wanted to laugh but were afraid of being heard by the old lady, so they endured it hard.
The year of pig raising is really good, remove the viscera pork four hooves, untie down another 160 pounds of meat, three fingers wide fat in the sun, glowing with oily light, look at it and think it is delicious.
With so much pork, the Guo family has no hope of selling it, and dividends are divided into two parts, half of which is left for their own family to eat for the New Year, and the remaining half is divided into two and belongs to Guo Mianmian and Guo Zhi sisters.
The Zheng family's backyard raised cows, horses, chickens, ducks and geese, but there were no pigs. Guo Mianmian did not refuse these porks, and said that when he went back next day, he asked his second brother to help him send it over. She had to hold the child, but she couldn't hold thirty or forty pounds of pork.
Guo Zhi's home is far away, so he didn't take special care of her returning to eat pig-killing rice, and would send pork to her next day.
When the pig-killing rice was cooked, Guo Shu and Guo Lin were sent to the village by Guo Laoshi as usual to invite the village chief and village elders to come over for dinner. Killing New Year's pigs is a big deal for the villagers, and it is customary to invite the famous elders of the clan or the village to eat.
The Guo family is a foreigner, and the foundation in Lijia Village is very thin, and the relationship with Uncle Guo and Uncle Guo and Uncle Guo is not close, so it is very tense to have a good relationship with the village chief and the village elders.
Please have a meal of killing pigs, and if you don't have it, you can "win" the people's morale, and if you don't do vulgar things, you can say that you may not be wearing small shoes one day. Although the Guo family has a talent, they are not afraid of these, more things are better than less, so as not to be labeled as if no one is there and provoke the bad feelings of others.
In the final analysis, the roots of the Guo family are in Lijia Village, and for a day in Lijia Village, you can't act too casually.
It's just that what people didn't expect was that not only the village chief and village elders came, but also Guo Lao Da and Guo Laosan's two families were also uninvited, and they poured into the hall with hulala, which made the very wide house crowded and narrow.
Guo Mianmian, who was holding Tangyuan'er, was stunned for a moment, and was thinking about whether to step forward to say hello, and the aunt of the Guo family automatically came up, and smiled on an old loofah-like face: "Oh, this is my niece and granddaughter, her little demeanor is really peugeot, like her mother!" ”
After that, he stretched out his hand like an old tree bark and wanted to hug the rice balls.
Guo Mianmian let it be clear, and wanted to tell the old lady that our mother and daughter are not familiar with you. It's just that the village chief and the village people were present, she swallowed it back with difficulty, and said to Guo Boniang, who had a sneering expression: "Tang Yuan'er recognizes her life, I don't dare to let her make trouble with the eldest uncle, and I hope that the eldest aunt will not blame." ”
Guo Boniang couldn't hear that this was an excuse, but she waved her hand carelessly and praised it again: "It's good to recognize life, it's good to recognize life, the child who recognizes life is smart, and I'm not afraid of being deceived when I grow up in the future." ”
Guo Mianmian's face became treacherous, in her impression, this eldest aunt didn't seem to be so easy to talk to, and the relationship between the two families was stiffened more than ten years ago and has not eased in a row.
Before Guo Mianmian could figure out why, another woman came up, and she didn't want money and smashed it on Tang Yuan'er one by one: "This child has a good face, and there is a pair of capable fathers and mothers, this is Miss Qianjin's life, and she must be a great blessing." ”
Looking at Aunt Guo San'er, who was chattering constantly, and then at the eldest aunt who had changed her expression, Guo Mianmian was dumbfounded, thinking that it was not the sun that came out in the west, but that these two women had taken the wrong medicine.
couldn't guess the intentions of these two women who suddenly showed favor to themselves, Guo Mianmian said casually: "What is not a blessing, children can't bear these good words." Tang Yuan'er grew up safe, healthy, and healthy, which is her great blessing. ”
The smile on Aunt Guo's face froze, and she casually pretended to be okay and approved: "Yes, yes, Mianmian is right, the child is good, we don't change our mother's daughter." ”
Uncle Guo, whose expression was not pleasant, also unexpectedly praised Aunt Guo's words: "That's right, it's the reason, this woman is tens of thousands, and the heart of a mother is the same." ”
Guo Mianmian's heart instantly sounded the alarm, and the hand holding Tang Yuan'er tightened unconsciously, but his mouth said: "What the eldest aunt and the third aunt said are all reasonable, and it is true." ”
As soon as they heard this, Guo Boniang and Aunt Guo became even more energetic, and looked at me around Guo Mianmian, and talked about their respective parenting scriptures from their motherly hearts, and from their parenting scriptures to their respective children.
Guo Mianmian has no fun with those brothers and cousins at all, several times she has something to leave, but it just so happens that these two women don't understand, and they pull her again, which makes people want to explode.
As if hearing Guo Mianmian's greeting from the soul, Yueniang rushed over to rescue her from fire and water. Yueniang said hello to Aunt Guo and Aunt Guo, and then pulled Guo Mianmian out: "Eldest sister, my stepmother has something to do with you, go to the kitchen and take a look!" ”
Guo Mianmian couldn't ask for it, said hello to Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo, and ran away in a hurry as if fleeing for her life.
Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo San, who were left behind, were dumbfounded, they hadn't talked about business yet, why did this eldest niece leave?
Realizing that her efforts were in vain, Guo Boniang relied on herself as a sister-in-law, pointed to Aunt Guo and complained: "It's all your fault, if it weren't for your crossing, the old lady would have done it a long time ago." ”
Aunt Guo is easy to provoke, looking at Guo Boniang and laughing: "Don't think that the old lady doesn't know what you think, the old lady advises you or don't work hard, it's better to inquire about the route if you have this time, otherwise with the relationship between your family and the second family, do you think Mianmian can help you?" Be your pale daydreamer! ”
"You, you old slut...... Uncle Guo was angry, if it weren't for the village chief and the village elders, she couldn't wait to pounce and tear Aunt Guo's mouth: "Where are you good old slut?" You are holding on to the second family, but the second family has already made a fortune, so you can only smell a fart, and dare to fill garlic in front of my eyes, it's really laughing! ”
Aunt Guo San was so angry that she couldn't speak, her expression became extremely ugly, and Uncle Guo's words poked her lungs.
At the beginning, Guo Mianmian was in the flower sauce business, and he was worried that Guo Boss and Guo Laosan would join forces to make it bad, so he advocated pulling one to fight the other, and it was Guo Laosan who pulled it, and it was Guo Boss who was naturally beaten.
Guo Laosan is a little clever, knowing that the Guo family is beneficial, so he can work against Guo Laosan so hard, and the Guo family leaked some benefits to Guo Laosan, so that he could be a good gun without far-fetchedness.
Later, the Guo family bought land and planted flowers, Guo Laosan wanted to spend nothing and get a piece of the pie, but was blocked back by Guo Mianmian. Guo Laosan thought that planting flowers was beneficial, so he took out most of his family funds and planted a few acres of his own land that did not produce food.
