62. Two pigs
In fact, she looked down on her mother and Yu Youcai, who was spoiled, and didn't even want to say anything about retention, so she only asked Yu to go to the kitchen and get a dozen eggs for them to bring back to eat.
When Yu Shi used the talented broken cumbersome eggs, he secretly took out one or two of the private rent he had saved and stuffed it into the cumbersome. This tael of silver is already a lot, and I can save some money in it, and I don't have to worry about food and shelter for at least half a month.
When the burden was handed back to Yu's mother, Yu gave Yu's mother a look. Yu's mother tacitly agreed, and her hand secretly touched the cumbersome corners, wanting to know how much silver her daughter had stuffed into it.
It's just that there are eggs in the burden, and Yu's mother doesn't touch much in front of the Guo family, and after a few touches, she only touches a hard piece.
When the family of three walked out of Guo's house and left Lijia Village, Yu Mu Huo opened his eyebrows and found the silver. The eggs and clothes were taken out of the burden, and only one or two pieces of silver were found.
At home, this two pieces of silver is a lot of money, enough for the family to use for half a year. But the silver was given by their daughter, and they subconsciously thought about it, thinking that the Guo family's life was so good, and their daughter would definitely be able to take out a lot of money.
But as a result, there is only one tael of silver, what is the difference between sending a beggar?
Yu's father's expression was particularly embarrassed, and he scolded angrily in the direction of the Guo family: "The dead girl with no conscience, I knew that she should have been pressed into the urine bucket and drowned when she was born, she was really raised for more than ten years in vain." ”
Yu Youcai was angry in his heart, and when he heard this, he threw the silver on the ground fiercely, and yelled at Yu's mother angrily: "Mother, didn't you say before that my sister would give me a lot of silver?" I'm going to run for my life inside, what is enough for one tael of silver! No way, I have to come back to her, I have to get her to spit out all the money. ”
Saying that, Yu Youcai was about to leave, but was stopped by Yu's mother.
Yu said bitterly: "Boss, don't go to your sister, if you go to Guo's house, you will know that we took your sister's silver, do you say they will let your sister take the silver out?" didn't get this one or two pieces of silver, and in the end they had to ask for it back. ”
The Yu family is very poor, at most they can only come up with a few hundred dollars for Yu Youcai to flee for their lives, if they don't even have this two pieces of silver in the end, Yu Youcai can really only go into exile as a beggar.
Listening to Yu Mu's words, a trace of anger flashed in Yu Youcai's eyes, and he said viciously: "They dare!" If they dare not give it, I will stay at Guo's house and not leave, and then it will be seen whether I am in a hurry or they are in a hurry. ”
Yu's mother didn't have such a view as her son, and said hastily: "The Guo family is not so easy to mess with, have you forgotten what happened to their second daughter-in-law's mother's family in the end?" ”
As soon as Yu Youcai, who was about to break out of touch, heard this, he suddenly stopped struggling, and his expression was extremely embarrassed: "Is it possible to just forget it?" And I don't want any money? ”
This is very shameless, and the feelings are as if the Guo family owes him.
Yu Muha picked up the silver stained with soil from the ground, and nodded hard: "That's the only way, you can rest assured, my mother will find a way to raise money for you, and she will not let you suffer in it." ”
When Yu Youcai heard this, his expression finally improved, but in his heart, he hated the eldest sister of the Yu family and even the entire Guo family!
In China, there are really not a few families like Yu's, there are three of them around me, in short, parents spoil their sons, and pull their daughters to spoil them together, no matter what their sons do, they always feel that their sons are right!
The relatives remember Yu Youcai, this person is very linked, and it can be said that he is a more powerful assist than Guo's father and Guo Ma and Guo Boss
After returning to Yujiawan, Yu Youcai escaped overnight with a total of two taels of silver borrowed by Yu's and Yu's mother that night.
The people who came to pursue things couldn't find Yu Youcai, and sure enough, they found the Guo family according to the information they had learned before. After the Guo family did not find anyone, and asked the villagers to confirm that there was no such person as Yu Youcai, they did not embarrass the Guo family, so they went elsewhere to find it.
Through this incident, the Guo family all knew that Yu Youcai had made a mistake. Yu couldn't hide it, so he simply told his mother about sending his younger brother to exile that day.
No one said anything in front of Yu's face, but everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Yu didn't faint and hide people at home on the glorious day, otherwise he wouldn't know what would happen if he was approached today.
It's not that the Guo family is indifferent and ruthless, it's really talented and even all the Yu family is too disagreeable. Yu Youcai took someone else's things, or the valuable things themselves are wrong, and they are known to not want to find and return the things, and a group of friends still want to lead the troubles to their own homes, and this partiality alone makes people unable to sympathize with them.
After learning that Yu's gave a private rent of one or two silver to sponsor Yu Youcai to run away, everyone didn't say anything, this is a slippery face, if Yu's sister is serious and doesn't do anything, it will make the people angry.
Another few days passed, and Yu took the time to go back to his parents' house. It's just that Yu's father and mother were still angry about the one or two pieces of silver, and they didn't have a good language for her, and the angry Yu quarreled with them again.
It was still the boss of the Yu family who reported to the Yu family, Yu Youcai ran out for seven or eight days and did not come forward, but those who were chasing things were stared at every day, and Yu Youcai should not have been caught.
With this result, Yu didn't know whether to worry or breathe a sigh of relief. When she finally got home, she didn't care about it anymore, and she couldn't do anything about it.
This episode of the Yu family is in the past, and the Guo family has already made plans to build a workshop, all materials such as bricks, tiles, firewood and other materials have been present, and the sky has gradually become cooler.
"Before the workshop was built, those gentlemen built a shed and lived next to the workshop, and we will cook them three meals a day, so that they should buy more pork and other dishes and store them, so that they don't have time to run to the town every day?"
After eating that day, the family chatted and passed the time as usual, and then talked about the construction of the workshop, and Mu thought of the problem of the Azusa people's food, so he expressed his hope.
"Mother, don't be so bothered!" Guo Lin said: "Those gentlemen have meat to eat, and they can work with the strength to do it, and as for other melons, fruits, and vegetables, they will buy them from the village, and every family has a vegetable garden, and a little bit of it is enough for each family, which is much cheaper than going to the town to make it convenient." ”
Guo Mianmian also thought so, so she agreed: "Yes, mother, let's do what the second brother said, so we are cheap." As for the meat...... Didn't we have two pigs in our house, and the next day we killed the big one to summon the gentlemen, and the other one for the New Year, so that our family would not have to go to the town to buy pork. ”
"What, both pigs are going to be killed?" As soon as he heard his daughter's words, Mu's attention went to the pig again, and he said unwillingly: "These two pigs are to be sold at the end of the year, even if the situation is particularly special, you can only kill one at most." ”
Farmers raise pigs, then point to the end of the year to kill and sell better than the year, usually their own family will rarely kill a whole pig to eat, unless it is such a happy event by the room, otherwise it is considered to kill the New Year pig, will also sell more than half to the villagers who did not kill the New Year pig, the remaining very small part will be left for their own family to eat.
Just these leftovers, most of them are not very good leftover meat, the truth is good, the price of pork is also high, as for the pig into the water, no one wants it, but also keep it for yourself, make do with a year.
In previous years, the two pigs raised by the Guo family could be sold for almost four taels of silver when they were the most expensive, which was a guarantee for whether the family could have a good year. The two pigs raised have to be killed by themselves, and the three taels are about to be gone, how can the Mu family not feel distressed!
Guo Mianmian sneered and calculated an account for Mu's family: "Mother, the cheap pig is only six or seven yuan a catty, but the pork in the town costs seventeen or eighteen yuan." The big one in our house is almost 180 catties, and if you kill and remove the internal organs of the foreign minister, you can drop 140 catties of pork with bones, which is much more cost-effective than going to the town to buy it. ”
The link is to build a workshop is not a temporary half-time thing, Mr. Ziren, who does hard work, is particularly able to eat, ten people spend at least five catties of pork a day, and their own family members also have to eat it, so calculated, a whole pig is not enough, maybe in the end you have to go to the town to buy a little bit back.
After listening to this, Mu Shi really calculated silently. In the end, she realized that even if she killed the pig and peeled it herself, it was more cost-effective than the bone-in pork bought in the town, at least those bones could be mixed with corn cobs to stew several large pots of bone broth, even if the pig was in the water, it could be made into a women's dish for hospitality.
After calculating the construction period of the workshop, Mu finally had to admit that it was indeed more cost-effective to kill his own pigs, so he immediately made a decision: "Cheng, according to what your brothers and sisters said, the big one at home will be killed the next day, and the pork will be wrapped in a few layers of oil paper and dropped into the well, so that it will not be bad for ten days and half a month." ”
Guo Laoshi and the others also praised the killing of their own pigs to summon the gentlemen, and seeing that the Mu family agreed, they naturally had no suggestions, and began to arrange the matter of killing the pig the next day.
"Oh oh, oh, I'm going to kill the pig, I'm going to kill the pig!" Confirming that the pig was going to be killed, Guo Guo cheered loudly and generously.
If it is said that adults are not very busy with porridge and kill pigs, the bold children are especially porridge. Watching the pig shaving is an exciting and funny thing, and those who dare to see it are all porridge to make this warm. Every year, someone in the village kills the pigs, and there must be a circle of children watching from the sidelines.
Guo Guo's few little guys are like this, plus since I was a child, I have only seen other people's pigs killed, and I haven't seen my own family kill them, this time the family is precious to kill pigs, and my heart has more feelings similar to pride, I hope to report the good little companions who played early the next morning, and invite them to come and see together.
