Chapter Thirty-Nine: Start with Mutton Soup
The next morning, Liu Chenxing and Liu Qingshan, two siblings, were worried about going to live in a foreign house, and they were so excited that they couldn't sleep, so they got up early in the morning with their parents. Fortunately, it is about to enter summer, and the day is getting earlier and earlier every day, so there is no need to clean up in the dark, and the brother and sister wash themselves.
There is no need to take care of the children, the Liu family still has no leisure in the morning, and as usual, he made morning food for the Liu family earlier.
The days are back to normal, and three meals a day are inseparable from wild vegetable porridge and wild vegetable steamed cakes.
After spring ploughing and after eating a few good meals, this is back to eating tasteless wild vegetables omnivorous, and it is inevitable that the mouth is dull and tasteless. Especially with age, the sense of taste slowly deteriorates, and the seasoning is somewhat heavy. It's good that Uncle Liu has a unique vinegar celery, but Grandma Liu eats the same as her children and grandchildren, and she can't help but smash her mouth, no wonder it's not a taste.
"The second one's family, the soybean sauce you brought last time was okay, and I'll bring some back to my parents' house today." Grandma Liu remembered the soybean paste that she had eaten at lunch last day, and she was used to the return gift after Liu's visit to her mother's house every time, so she said directly without thinking.
Liu Chenxing silently nibbled on a wild vegetable steamed bun the size of a child's fist, and he really didn't understand what Grandma Liu thought, the hare that she was going to give to the Liu family a few days ago was deducted by her, and asked the third uncle to take it to the wine shop for twenty yuan, how could he take the initiative to ask the Liu family for something again?
The Liu family is good-natured, at least no matter what she thinks of Grandma Liu in her heart, she is still very respectful to Grandma Liu, and replied softly: "Ah Jia, this is a gift from my classmates in the Elder Brother Academy, and I don't know how much is left in the Liu family, so my daughter-in-law will go and take it back if there is." ”
Grandma Liu was a little disappointed, it turned out that Grandma Liu didn't make it herself, but how much orphans and widows can eat, there may be leftovers, so she nodded and said, "That's okay, see how much is left, just bring as much as you want." ”
Liu Chenxing's eyes widened when he heard it, and when it came to this, Grandma Liu actually let it go.
She took a deep breath and took another sip of wild vegetable porridge with less than a few grains of yellow millet, feeling that her understanding of Grandma Liu needed to be improved.
Liu's family is either well-cultivated, or she understands Grandma Liu well, and she is not surprised at all, or there is a slight ugliness on her face, she smiled and responded: "Okay, Ah Jia." ”
His wife is so domineering and unreasonable, but his wife still has to endure the humiliation and bear the burden, Liu Qianli saw it in his eyes and pity it in his heart, and couldn't help but quietly shake Liu's hand under the table.
Liu's expression was still calm, but when he lowered his head to drink wild vegetable porridge, the corners of his soft mouth turned up slightly.
Liu Wanli listened to the soft voice of the village woman who was completely different from the Liu family, and Yu Guang subconsciously glanced at the wife next to him.
It's really uncomparable!
Thinking about Wang's persecution of himself without suffering at all, but Liu's was extremely docile, Liu Wanli shook his head and sighed at the moment, hearing that Wang thought that her husband was not used to eating this omnivorous, and thought that she would have to go to the old couple to order fine noodles and eggs later, and give her husband a good meal in private.
Let's say that Liu Chenxing's mouth has also been raised in the past few days, and he just wants to go to Liu's house to improve his life quickly.
After eating for a while, the Liu family knew the thoughts of their children, so they packed their luggage last night, and said to the Liu family that they wanted to leave without any further delay.
Probably got Liu Qianli's money to sell bamboo weaving yesterday, and paid 10% more than before as agreed, so the old couple didn't say anything, and directly asked Liu Qianli to take the oxen to the wooden cart, catch the ox cart and take his wife and children to Liu's house.
Liu Qianli also knows how to exchange courtesies, how can there be a reason for letting his children live in a foreign house for nothing, and Liu Wensu still has to teach his children a lesson, so he has planned to go to the county seat to buy some things before going to Liu's house today.
On the same road, there is also Liu Baili.
When he saw that his second brother's family left the village, instead of going to Liujia Village, he drove himself to the county seat together, saying that he was going to buy some gifts for the Liu family, and he felt more and more clearly in his heart that his second brother, who had always been honest and bored, had changed.
Yesterday, I set up a stall in the market, and I didn't buy things by the way, but I went today, obviously because I was worried that I would take the things home yesterday and there would be no return.
is also used to the convenience of the second brother's family, and after discovering it, he couldn't help frowning, and then he thought that this family can be maintained until now, thanks to the second brother's ten years of doing cattle and horses, and he has never complained. Now that the second brother has finally woken up and has his own plans, can this family continue to be maintained?
Judging from the current situation, at least until the eldest brother will have no problem taking the scientific examination next year, and he will just watch it for another year.
Liu Baili quickly figured it out, and he revealed the changes of the second brother, he just didn't see it, and he was in a good mood to amuse his little niece.
Feeling the third uncle's intentional friendship, it is not difficult for Liu Chenxing to find that the other party must have noticed something, after all, Aya didn't stop by to buy things yesterday, but made a special trip today, clearly explaining that there was a problem.
Just looking at the performance of the third uncle, it is okay to think about it.
Her third uncle is really a long-sleeved person who is good at dancing and knows how to be convenient with others.
Liu Chenxing put his mind at ease, and it was easy to deal with smart and polite people.
In this way, there were talks and laughs all the way to the county seat, and as soon as they separated from Liu Baili, the family of four began to drive the ox cart to the market.
Money is sometimes confidence, yesterday's more than 300 wen, and the remaining 100 wen from last time, Liu's income is not counting the past savings, and the income in recent days alone is as much as 450 wen.
With this heavy three or four catties of money, coupled with the fact that shopping is probably a woman's nature, although the Liu family has not been to the county town for many years, but the posture of buying things is very ten, not to mention where to buy something, how to bargain, it is also clear.
With Liu's housewife, Liu Chenxing was naturally happy, so he sat on the open-top wooden cart with peace of mind, looking around.
After going back and forth twice, the Liu family picked and chose from east to west, shopped around, and bought all the things for the Liu family.
Because of the cloth that Liu Chenxing bought back last time, the Liu family used half a horse to make a robe for Liu Wensu overnight, and did not buy anything else for Liu Wensu.
Grandma Liu is now old, and she lives alone all the year round, and she looks at the dress normally, Liu thinks that her mother often eats alone, and she also has the heart to let the two children open a small stove in Liu's house to eat some good food, especially the youngest daughter is thin and thin, and her hair is thin and yellow.
As a result, almost all of the things that Liu bought today were for food.
When the eldest son eats a long meal, the younger daughter needs to replenish her body, and the rice and flour oil cannot be less, ten catties of rice, ten catties of noodles, and one catty of sesame oil is at least.
The children have grown so big, the number of times they eat sugar is only a handful, and the mother has been even poorer these years, honey is a good thing, although it is a little expensive, it is still necessary to weigh a pound or two.
In addition, it is worthy of being a mother and daughter, Liu also thinks about this daughter's yellow hair, of course, she also thinks that Grandma Liu's hair is a lot grayer, although she is old, she naturally grows, and she still weighs a pound of black sesame seeds, and wants to use it for her mother and daughter.
I bought something for my mother's family, and I can't say it if I don't buy it for my mother-in-law's family, especially Grandma Liu also took the initiative to say this morning, and her daughter loves to eat soybean sauce and soybean sauce for cooking, so she weighed two catties respectively, one catty to the Liu family and one catty to the Liu family.
By the time everything was in order, it was almost noon.
It's rare for a family to come out and have money in their hands, so they want to go to the restaurant.
Last time, I didn't eat mutton soup with Liu's family, which was a pity, but this time the family of four went straight to the mutton soup stall, a bowl of mutton soup for each person, and a Hu cake with minced mutton for each person.
Liu Chenxing looked at his parents and brothers beside him, his mouth was full of oil, and his heart was very satisfied.
The Liu family's life began with a bowl of mutton soup.
