Chapter 33 People are cheap and self-despise
In addition to vegetable patches and fruit trees, the most conspicuous ones are probably the medicine gardens and ponds, which are dug up and cultivated, and grow lushly.
The water source in the pond was changed several times, and some lotus roots were put into it, because it was not easy to buy fish fry in this season, so she asked Uncle Lian to get some dried shrimp and put them in.
Hawkers! If you raise it well, it is crayfish, and if you don't raise it well, you can also fatten the pond, and if you don't have fish and shrimp, you can't always get out of the lotus root! The worst thing is that you can see lotus flowers in the coming year!
"Brother! Brother! Lu Mier shouted behind the two of them, "Brother has laid eggs!" ”
Zhongli snorted out laughing, but someone gently pinched his arm, and he immediately restrained his laughter.
"Mi'er, what's wrong?" Zhong Libai let go of a hand and beckoned to Lu Mi'er.
Lu Mi'er hurriedly ran over, "Sister-in-law, look at it, egg!" ”
"Be careful, don't fall." Zhongli Bai shouted at the child to run slower.
Lu Mi'er suddenly slowed down her movements, and it took a long time to walk in front of the two, "Sister-in-law, look! ”
Lu Mi'er handed over a small egg in her palm, and Zhong Libai recognized it after a glance, "The chicken cub has an egg!" ”
I didn't think it was when I bought it, I didn't expect it to lay eggs so soon, and there will be an extra dish at home in the future, but I just hugged a chick in winter, will it be pitiful to eat?
"What do you think?" Lu Zhiqiong asked sideways.
"Mi'er, do you want to eat cake?" Zhong Libai pinched Lu Mi'er's face, which had grown a lot taller.
Afraid of being criticized again for snubbing someone, she turned her head sideways and asked more, "Tianxian, do you want to eat?" ”
"Pastry?" Lu Mi'er's eyes lit up.
Zhong Libai nodded, "It's almost, but the taste is completely different." ”
"Do you want to do it just for me?" Lu Zhiqiong asked.
"Brother, you're so stingy, sister-in-law asked me first." Lu Zhiqiong grabbed one of Zhong Libai's arms and grabbed people with his brother.
"Okay, okay, just for the two of you, don't fight." Zhong Libai was speechless when the brother and sister quarreled.
Whether you can make a cake or not is not certain! She had to see how many eggs she had at home, and she couldn't do it 100 percent.
After sending people back and driving the ducks and geese off the pond, Zhong Libai went to the place where the chickens were locked to look for eggs, and it took him a long time to find three.
Four eggs can indeed make a cake, but the portion is very small, and I am afraid that only the brothers and sisters of the Lu family will be able to eat it at that time.
She can ignore the others, and she can ignore Mother Zhong, Yaoyao's child can't help but give it! Don't let the child quarrel miserably.
In the end, she couldn't, went to Hong Ye's house to ask if there were any eggs, she remembered that her grandmother raised a group of chickens, and it was definitely not possible to buy them, so she had to bring a piece of meat to exchange.
Hong Ye went to chop wood, her grandmother was home alone, Zhong Libai explained her intentions, and Grandma Hong immediately went to the chicken coop to pick up eggs.
A pot of about fifty eggs was given to her, but she refused to accept the meat, and repeatedly said that Hong Ye was very happy to have her as a friend.
How could Zhong Libai take advantage of the old man, he had to put down the meat to take a pot of eggs, and said that he asked Hong Ye to come over to get the pot at night, and she didn't have time to send it back.
On the way back, I accidentally met Lu Yun, who was followed by a young man, about twenty years old, white and pure scholarly anger, which did not match the atmosphere of the peasant family.
"Xiaobai, such a coincidence?" Lu Yun deliberately shouted loudly.
Zhongli Bai couldn't avoid it, nodded in response, didn't ask the man next to her at all, but couldn't remember that Green Tea wanted to show off.
"Xiaobai, this is Xu Mu, we are going to get married in a while!" With that ostentatious tone, I don't know that I thought she had picked up the money!
"Congratulations." Zhongli Bai said without saltiness.
Lu Yun didn't plan to let her go, "Xiaobai, will you come when we get married?" ”
Zhongli Bai smiled lightly, "Come when you have time." ”
"Hey, why are you buying so many eggs, should you ......" Lu Yun didn't finish his words, but glanced at her stomach with a big grin.
Zhongli raised his eyebrows, and his face turned a little colder, "My husband said that he wanted to eat egg cakes, but the chickens at home were too small to have eggs, so he took meat to exchange some with Grandma Hong." ”
She doesn't want to be taken advantage of by this shamelessness! In case she doesn't make it clear, what will she do if she goes to Hong Yejiabai? If you want it, then exchange it for meat!
"It's a big loss to exchange meat for eggs!" Lu Yun frowned very obviously.
"It's all meat dishes, not a loss." Zhongli Bai raised the basin and gave her a wink, "Grandma Hong gave me a lot of eggs!" ”
"That, Xiaobai, you ......"
Zhong Libai put on a big smile, "I'm still busy going back to make egg cakes for my husband, so I won't bother the two of you to talk about love." ”
She said this with a little bit of Nuoyu, taking advantage of Lu Yun's shyness, she nodded to the two of them, and walked over by mistake, and walked quickly.
Lu Yun, that slut, she didn't plan to let her go last time, after all, this person didn't calculate the original owner once or twice.
However, the village chief and the villagers had a fierce quarrel, and she was not in a hurry to deal with this person, but she didn't expect Lu Yun to die and wanted to bump into him.
I also want her to give away eggs for nothing, she wants to eat fart!
"What's wrong? Don't look good? Mother Zhong knew that Zhong Libai was going out, so she deliberately waited for her to come back.
"Mother, do you have something to say?" Zhongli Bai shook his head and asked rhetorically.
"You...... Forget it, there is a letter from the Zhong family, saying that Zhong Ming's marriage is decided, and asking when you will have time to go back for a drink. "Mother Zhong didn't dare to say the name of her relatives.
"Heh, why don't you dare to ask you back this time?" Zhongli Bai laughed coldly.
Mother Zhong has experienced a lot, and she also understands that people's hearts are not ancient, so she persuaded her, "If you don't want to go back, don't go back, we don't owe them." ”
"Let's go back! If you don't go back, the villagers should say that you didn't teach me well. Zhongli Bai Yin agreed compassionately.
The Zhong family was disgusted like this and was embarrassed to ask her to go back, Bacheng wanted her to give her money, what else did she not understand.
She still has family affection for this kind of family, is she stupid?
A lot of eggs were brought back, except for the cakes, there were still a lot left, and Zhong Libai made some egg dumplings.
Zhong Yi has a very high talent in cooking, and she will understand it after teaching her a few times, Zhong Libai only got the Lu family brothers and sisters, and handed over the rest to her.
The cake was made into a pot, the kind of cauldron that burned wood, except for the Lu family's brothers and sisters, which was kept for the Hong Ye family, and the rest of Zhong Libai asked Lu Fan to share it with the family.
The first time Lu Zhiqiong ate this kind of fluffy pastry, he didn't like sweets, so he couldn't help but eat an extra piece.
Lu Mi'er was even more so, it made her little stomach hurt, but Zhong Libai hugged and rubbed it for a lot of time before she didn't scream about the pain.
The two of them didn't eat much of the egg dumplings, after all, they were all propped up on the cake, Zhong Libai ate all the rest of the two of them, anyway, he made it himself!
Hong Ye came over to get the pot when it was dark, and Zhong Libai put the cake and egg dumplings left for her in the basin and sent them back with Lu Mu.
Passing by Uncle Lu's house, he brought him an egg dumpling, and the cake was lost by the family because of the lack of it, while Xu Shan's father and daughter naturally had a share because they lived at home.
Pity Xu Mao, because he lives far away and doesn't have anything.
It's not that Zhongli Bai is stingy and reluctant to send it, the main thing is that their family is in a special situation, if it is better, she doesn't mind making friends, or his mother is too bad at being a person.
Zhong Libai took people up the mountain the next day and invited Hong Ye, but he didn't expect Lu Yun to come with him, and he also brought a little sister surnamed Xu.
Hong Ye waited for the two to walk forward, and explained to Zhong Libai in a whisper that she didn't call it, but it was purely because they met on the road and collided together.
Zhong Libai didn't say anything, and asked her not to be too deliberate, and a few people picked up mushrooms in the mountains, and by the way, they took a look at wild vegetables and wild fruits.
Several times, Lu Yun thought that he was quietly robbing her things, and thought that everyone was blind, and Zhong Libai couldn't see this person's scheming.
She simply didn't pick it up, and she didn't bother to rummage through it, and planned to go to the bamboo forest to see if there were any bamboo shoots after autumn, which were good for stir-frying or cooking.
Lu Yun didn't know if he was too self-conscious, so he left the other two and wandered to Zhong Libai's side, talking to himself pretending to be self-talking.
"Lu Yun, what's the matter, can you do it directly? There are no outsiders anyway. Zhong Libai was so read that he wanted to spray her to death with a hoe.
Lu Yun snorted a few times, explaining the reason why he was friendly with the original owner, and the purpose was too disgusting.
Lu Yun doesn't look good, but the family conditions are not as good as the original owner, at least her father was very good before he died, and befriending the original owner is just to beautify herself.
Listening to her own tone, the original owner used to have a lot of friends, but they were all lost by this slut, and even the original owner's favorite object was pried away by her.
Listening to the slut's words, Zhong Libai was so disgusted that he didn't even want to eat dinner, but Lu Yun was still very complacent, looking like he was amazing.
Zhong Libai originally had a big opinion of this person, but seeing that he had no remorse, he made it clear to Hong Ye on the way that he would not need to deal with this kind of person in the future.
Lu Yun cried and cried, claiming that he didn't mean to do anything, and Zhong Libai wanted to give her some wax directly.
Because she was a friend of the original owner, for the sake of cause and effect, she persuaded Lu Yun to do it herself, claiming that Xu Mu was not her lover, and mentioned a few words.
Lu Yun blamed her for being nosy, marrying a cripple or something, which was a complete tear with Zhong Libai, and she didn't care about her face.
Zhong Libai didn't bother to say more to her, and took Hong Ye away, and even the little sister surnamed Xu, who followed Lu Yun, silently withdrew, leaving her alone to cry.
Hong Ye didn't stay at the Lu family to eat, he helped send the things back and left, and beckoned Zhong Libai to go up the mountain again tomorrow.
Zhong Libai instructed someone to peel the bamboo shoots, boil them once, let Zhong Mu take a lot of sour peppers out, and let Lu Fan fry a pot of sour bamboo shoots.
Because he didn't need to go to the town to sell things, and the medicinal herbs couldn't be sold for the time being, and the debts were paid off, Zhongli Bai had a lot of leisure, and ran to the mountains every day.
There are many children in the family, so she takes two of them up the mountain a day, teaches them to be familiar with the mountain shape, and also teaches them the difference between wild grass and medicinal herbs.
The family followed the young lady and almost became the owner of the mountain, and when they went home, they were chattering about things in the mountains, and the young lady taught them something.
Zhong Libai corrected them at the beginning and called Xiaobai, sister, all of these were done, but Lu Fan gave an order and called the young lady in unison.
At present, the only people in the family who dare to call her sister are Mi'er and Yaoyao, where do other sensible people dare to shout, the master is affinity, and that is also their master.
