Chapter 149
Wang Gouzi stuck out his tongue and said nonchalantly: "Then I will eat enough for this meal, and I will not be afraid of hunger for the next meal." ”
As he spoke, he took the big bowl and drank the last few mouthfuls of cold noodle soup, and then proudly raised the bowl at the hill next to him and said, "I ate another bowl of ......."
Xiaoshan looked at his own half bowl of cold noodles in embarrassment, pursed his lips, and then continued to bury his head in hard work.
After this meal, everyone was a little supportive. In particular, a few children held their stomachs and began to think about what to eat for the next meal.
It's a pity that no matter how Wang Gouzi wanted to stay for one more day, Wang Bin and Wang Huzi didn't respond, and finally took him to the ox cart and went back.
After sending away the third brother of the Wang family, Lin Baoru went with the Wang family to take a look at the wood.
Lin Baoru didn't know much about this, but she was also grateful when she listened to Wang's explanation of the Tao little by little.
Since reconciling with her uncle's concubine's family, it seems that her family's situation has improved, but in fact, her uncle and concubine have helped Zhang Luo in many things. From the beginning when the Liu family came to the door, to now they have to furnish the house and prepare a dowry for her, and the uncle and concubine have not worried a lot.
"Mother, seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, I want to buy some Jiang rice and red dates tomorrow, and let's also wrap a pot of zongzi. When it's the sixth day of junior high school, I'll send some to my uncle's house. ”
Things are not valuable, and maybe the uncle's family doesn't need them, but how to say it, it can be regarded as the heart of their mothers.
Where is it possible to give each other something of equal value to the exchanges between relatives? If that's really the case, Xu Na's friendship will be lost.
But even if the uncles and concubines don't care about those vulgar things, they can't help but remember the good of others.
Wang nodded, "It just so happens that your eldest brother is at home, let him go to the town for a walk in a while." Qingqing is now a month old, I'm afraid that the child is uncomfortable with her stomach, so when we go, I will bring the basket of eggs saved at home and nourish her......"
Lin Mancang was also worried about going to see Zhao Yueji, so when he heard his mother say that he would let him go to the town, he was very happy.
As a sister, how could Lin Baoru not see her eldest brother's thoughts. She also boasted that she was a good assistant, and before Lin Mancang went out, she stuffed her newly made beauty soap and rouge into a small box.
"Big brother, when you go to see Sister Yueji, you can't be empty-handed." Lin Baoru said to him carefully, "You have a simple temperament, but you can't rely on this to ignore Sister Yueji's feelings." Girls want to be protected and hurt, you have to worry about Sister Yueji in everything, let Sister Yueji know that you are thinking about her. ”
The Wang family next to him nodded and said: "You have to listen to Baoru in this matter, Yueji is a good girl, she takes a fancy to you, that is the blessing of our family, but I don't dare to make people think that we are contemptuous." ”
Lin Mancang's dark face was a little red, although he was a little embarrassed to say that he had something to do with Yueji in front of his sister, but when he thought of Yueji, his heart was still very sweet.
To be honest, the two of them met when they went back to Shangliang. But because there are outsiders, there are many people who are afraid of saying something unpleasant, so the two of them only dared to look at each other quietly, and didn't even say a word.
At that time, his own master was also worried about his daughter's reputation, so he put some meat to calculate the good fortune, and he didn't even eat food, so he left with Yueji.
They hadn't said a word in months.
Lin Mancang went to Zhao's butcher's house with the objects given by his sister with joy, and met a vendor selling women's daughter's hairpins on the road.
Although it was not valuable, he felt happy when he saw the moon flowers carved on the hairpin.
After tidying up the house, Lin Baoru and the others were idle. Thinking that Caihe would be worried about eating maltose, Lin Baoru simply scooped up some wheat and soaked it in water, preparing to wait for the wheat to grow some buds and give a few small boiled sugar to eat.
But although she can't make maltose for a while, she can make some snacks on the side to satisfy a few small cravings.
It just so happened that Uncle Ma sent a bowl of goat's milk today, and Lin Baoru boiled it for a while, and began to mix noodles with water.
One of the small snacks recommended by many food anchors in the past life is the cat ears that are rarely missed, known as Xiaobai's practice.
Thinking of a few small sweetness, Lin Baoru deliberately added half a spoonful when turning brown sugar water. In this way, the two layers of rolled thin dough are stacked together and then cut into thin slices, isn't it really a bit like cat ears?
Cai Ru also helped her eldest sister to light the fire, and Cai He couldn't wait to follow the eldest sister around.
Xiaoshan was placed by the eldest sister to sit on the side, well-behaved and clever, not making a fuss at all. But those big black eyes are always staring at the dough on the eldest sister's hand.
Lin Baoru looked at the few little happy looks, and her heart was also happy. It's not that there is any plot of motherly love, but she feels the instinctive closeness and trust of her relatives, and it feels really good.
After all, no one wants to live a life of intrigue. Such a plain and bland, it may not be a blessing.
It is not difficult to fry cat ears, at least in Caihe's eyes, as soon as her eldest sister puts them together, the fragrant and small things like cat ears go into the plate.
She looked at the eldest sister with blank eyes, just waiting to be fed.
Fortunately, Lin Baoru didn't let her wait longer, blew the cat ears that were not so hot in the plate, and put them directly into the mouth of Caihe, which had been sticking to her.
Lin Caihe opened her mouth and bit it, only hearing a few rattling sounds, and then she felt a sweet fragrance spread in her mouth.
It was probably the first time to eat such a crispy and crispy thing, so Lin Caihe couldn't help but squint, and while inhaling the aroma, he said: "Sister, it's delicious, crispy, and a little crunchy......"
She looked up at her eldest sister, smiling as brightly as she could, and she did not hesitate to use the best words she could think of to describe it.
Lin Baoru saw Cairu and Xiaoshan also looking at each other, raised her hand and stuffed a piece into the mouths of the two of them, and then asked with a smile: "How is it?" "Jiuhe Library
Lin Cairu and Xiaoshan were naturally very face-saving, and nodded in unison. Xiaoshan, in particular, didn't even hold back to cover his mouth with his little hands, for fear that he would run away with a mouthful of fragrance.
The embarrassed look of blinking eyes made Lin Baoru rare, and she couldn't even help but reach out and stroke Xiaoshan's little head.
The sisters and brothers were not happy to eat together. In the end, by the time Wang tasted it, half of the cat's ears had already entered Cairu's stomach.
If it weren't for Lin Baoru's fear of a few small food accumulations, I'm afraid they would have to chew a few more pieces.
The second room of the Lin family is full and drunk, even if they are cool, they can eat small snacks and talk about homely words, and they are happily imagining the future.
On the other hand, Liu Shulai was angry, and now he is holding back his breath.
Liu Shulai is a little incomprehensible, those people dislike him all day long and don't go on stage, thinking that he is not a decent person who is tired of dogs, but recently he has fallen in love with the door to obstruct his eyes.
He wondered what those people thought.
In the past, I didn't see so many uncles and aunts coming to him, how his mother was preparing for his family affairs, what kind of fragrant and smelly from far and near, they all ran out and buzzed.
No, as soon as I walked ahead, the daughter-in-law of the third uncle's family dragged her sister-in-law and a few mothers-in-law from the side branches to the door, saying that she wanted to help her mother-in-law Zhang Luo's family, but the words of the exit were not smooth.
"Sister-in-law, it's not that you are talking about you as a younger brother and sister, it's really not good for you to settle this family matter. What kind of gateway is our Liu family, although it is not a big family, but it is also a family with a head and a face, why are you so confused, and you have set a rural village aunt who can't be on the table for your brother? The eldest daughter-in-law of the third uncle's family, Li, said with a disgusted face, just like she really planned for the Liu family.
"That's right, from a mud leg, what good can it be! When the time comes, when you meet the ladies and girls in the backyards of each family, you may have to make jokes. Li's concubine, Zhou, also echoed.
Mrs. Liu sneered in her heart, but she had an indifferent look on her face. She listened to the words of the two of them, and asked without a smile, "Then what do you mean?" Could it be that when I get to the root of my eyes, I still have to quit my family? ”
Li is not stupid, and when he heard the dissatisfaction in Mrs. Liu's words, he immediately laughed twice and stopped saying words to slander Lin Baoru.
However, Zhou was a blind one, and hurriedly responded: "It's not enough to quit your family, after all, Brother Lai is not young, and there should be someone by his side." However, she is a mud household in the village, and the door of Liu's house is already high, so we can't give her a long face. The province raised her up, and she didn't know how many pounds and taels she had. ”
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Liu took a sip of tea from the teacup unhurriedly. Well, this tea was bought by his son, who was not in trouble, although the taste is not good, but it is also a piece of filial piety.
Seeing Mrs. Liu asking, Zhou hurriedly said: "Don't talk about it, my sister-in-law has hired her family a lot, but that's over, so let's not talk about it." ”
"It's just that I just heard that my sister-in-law is planning to set up a hundred or so tables, not counting the eight cold and eight hot seats, but also four hard dishes and eight large bowls, which is too much to look down on her." Zhou pursed his lips, thinking in his heart that if he set up the table according to Mrs. Liu's plan, he would not be able to come in one hundred or ten taels. How good would it be if these hundred and ten taels were saved and finally distributed among their families?
Besides, the patriarch has been discussing with his father-in-law for a long time, and wants to pass on his sister-in-law's son to Mrs. Liu, so that they can inherit the Liu family's family business when the time comes.
When the time comes, the nephew will get the Liu family's properties, and he will still be treated as an uncle and aunt?
Now the money saved by the Liu family has not all fallen into their hands in the end! One hundred taels, eating and drinking spicy food is bad enough for a few years.
Thinking of this, Zhou's lobbying is even more real.
"Besides, my brother didn't get early, sister-in-law, you are a woman's family after all, and you have to do too much, I'm afraid you will have to recruit right and wrong." The Zhou family looked at Mrs. Liu sincerely, sighed and persuaded, "According to me, there will be ten seats and eight seats, and our own house will be lively." ”
The mother-in-law who came with the Li family and the Zhou family, when she heard this, also hurriedly nodded and sang and said it.
This mother-in-law doesn't want Mrs. Liu to save money, but her family is the eighth in the Liu family, and there is a son in the family who has not yet married. If Liu Shulai's family affairs are very beautiful, then when her son marries a daughter-in-law in two years, there will be a comparison.
If Mrs. Liu did it simply this time, then when her son married a daughter-in-law, she would naturally be able to save it. But whenever someone comes to the door to say, she also has something to say, after all, the richest young master of the Liu family has streamlined the banquet, and her family is a younger brother and sister, and it is not easy to cross the row of others.
Mrs. Liu looked at a few people who looked good for you, and she almost felt sick. Now she can see more and more clearly how the relatives in the Liu family who act as robbers and robbers under the banner of taking care of their orphans and widows are disturbing.
During the New Year's Festival, after the third uncle proposed to let his grandson recognize it in her name, her ears were almost never clean.
Some time ago, she also heard that some people have begun to tie up the third uncle's family, and even the daughter-in-law and granddaughter of the third uncle's family, even with his in-laws, can show off their might.
Mrs. Liu squinted her eyes and sneered, "Since you are all dissatisfied with the family affair I have set for my son, why don't you help me find another one?" ”
"Third brother and sister, I heard that your niece is delicate, literate and hyphenated, and she has been raised in front of an old lady in the state since she was a child? Come to think of it, she is qualified to come to my brother's house. ”
When Li Shi heard this, his face was a little unsightly. She waved her hand wryly, and said with an ugly smile: "Sister-in-law, don't joke with me......"
Seeing that she flinched, Mrs. Liu turned to look at Zhou and asked, "What do the four brothers and sisters mean?" Don't you have a niece in your mother's family? I looked at it when I visited the New Year, it looked very cute, and her temperament was also soft, I think it should be IKEA IKEA, why don't you go and discuss with her father and mother, let her come into her brother's yard? ”
"Don't worry, as long as this thing can be done, I will definitely raise her without much fanfare, and I will set up ten seats and eight seats to welcome people into the door as you said. It also saves her self-esteem when the time comes, and she rides on the neck of our Liu family to live. ”
Mrs. Liu looked at Zhou with a smile, as if as long as she nodded, she would immediately ask someone to propose marriage.
"Oh, by the way, there is also a dowry, according to what you said, if you can save it, you will save it, and there will never be one more copper plate, how?"
Zhou's eyes widened instantly by Mrs. Liu's words, and her mouth trembled for a long time, but she didn't think of how to refute it after thinking about it for a long time.
She didn't look down on Liu Shulai in her heart, how could she let her niece marry that ruined thing? But can she say that? She is no matter how much she is, and she knows that as long as she says such a thing, she will offend Mrs. Liu to death.
