Liu Qianli opened his mouth, and subconsciously wanted to answer twenty-eight cents, the old couple of the Liu family got eight, and they kept two percent for themselves, but looking at their children without blinking, he suddenly remembered the conversation that night half a month ago, and he was speechless.

After a while, he said silently: "According to the past income, I will give you an account for Grandma Weng." ”

When I said it, I felt that it was not as difficult to say as I imagined.

And after saying it, the weight that weighed heavily on his chest was inexplicably light.

It's just that when I thought of the three of them, since they started their own families, first the eldest brother had selfishness, then the third brother, and now it was finally his turn.

I couldn't say anything for a while, but I felt that my heart was mixed, and when I remembered the food panic, the old couple of the Liu family saved food for the three brothers, and their brothers remembered each other, and they were reluctant to eat more.

Many old memories flashed through my mind, and in the end, only the wife's endurance and humiliation, the son's eyes eager to read, and the little daughter's appearance of waking up hungry in the middle of the night but forbearing.

Liu Qianli's heart was sour, and his eyes were inexplicably red, but his wife was weak and his children were still young, he was the pillar of this small family, and he couldn't be weak in front of them.

Liu Qianli's rough palms, who have been doing farm work all the year round, rubbed the heads of his children respectively, and said softly: "According to the previous income, two hares can be sold for seventy-six wen, and twenty pairs of straw shoes can get twenty wen, a total of ninety-six wen, give you Ah Weng and Grandma seventy-seven wen, and we will keep nineteen wen for ourselves." This time, counting the income of your brothers and sisters from selling mushrooms, we can keep a total of 175 Wen, so we won't go to your third uncle for lunch, let's go have a big meal! ”

One hundred and seventy-five wen, which is equivalent to the income of most of their second room for half a year.

Ben just calculated it to make the children happy, but I didn't expect it to be as much as one hundred and seventy-five Wen, Rao is Liu Qianli is calm, when it comes to this number, his heart still can't help but be hot, and his tongue turns a few times before he says it.

Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry at all and did not distribute the money he sold "mountain treasures", it didn't matter if he didn't distribute it, anyway, Ye Niang couldn't treat himself badly, not to mention that he was about to go to school, and Ye Niang was still trying to make up for him.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan only cared about Aya finally staying in a private room, so he put all his thoughts on the big meal.

"Ayya! I'm going to eat Hu Cake and Mutton Soup! Liu Qingshan was the time when he was half the eldest and the poor man was eating, and he jumped up happily at the thought of having a big meal.

Liu Chenxing does not have the roughness of her brother, she thinks she is a delicate little lady in her heart.

Although his own Aya was born with five big and three coarse, he is not a stupid person, and he has long seen the selfishness of the Liu family in his eyes, and his heart is even clearer, but he values his parents and brotherhood too much. Now for the sake of A-Niang and their brothers and sisters, Aya finally began to be selfish, and she was afraid that she would feel sorry for the rest of the Liu family.

She didn't miss the struggle on Aya's face just now, she didn't go to the third uncle's free lunch at this time, it is estimated that she has the intention of compensating their brothers and sisters, and she has just done something private, and she can't wipe her face or feel ashamed of the third uncle.

But I'm sorry, my brother wants to go to school, and she doesn't want to wake up hungry in the middle of the night, and my mother is busy all day long, if she continues, I am afraid that such a bitter day will never come to an end. Liu Chenxing silently said to his own Aya in his heart, and then held Aye's big hand with his small hand, although it was rough and awkward, it was also extraordinarily warm, and he held up a piece of the sky on her head.

"Aye, Ah Xing also wants to eat Hu cake and mutton soup." Under Liu Qingshan's expectant gaze, Liu Chenxing reluctantly agreed, and the boy who grew up with him couldn't bear to refuse.

On this early summer day in April, eating mutton soup at noon is also a novel experience.

After Liu Chenxing comforted herself, she felt that she still had to make a fortune quickly, otherwise three meals a day would be pasta or pasta, how would she, a person who has been a Sichuan girl for more than 20 years, live?

can't eat spicy and fragrant Sichuan food, always let her eat a bite of rice and white rice to satisfy her cravings.

Although he dreamed of eating a bite of rice and rice, mutton soup was also a rare delicacy, and Liu Chenxing turned his mind and felt greedy.

At this time, the meat diet was mainly beef and mutton.

However, in the agrarian society, cattle are the noble lords, and it is illegal to kill cattle and eat meat, so mutton has become the main and most common meat food of the time. Pork is considered to be inferior meat, and dignitaries and landlords do not eat it, and most of them are eaten on the table of poor and white people.

Speaking of which, I haven't eaten mutton once since ancient times, so it's good to taste it today.

The place where mutton soup is sold is not far away, just at the mouth of the agricultural and sideline products concentration area, and there is not even a straw shed, just four or five small square tables and a few benches.

Listen to Aya said, this mutton soup stall is small, but has been set up here for more than ten years, the taste is thick, the most important thing is sincerity, said that the people who have eaten it say that the meat is put a lot, even in the hot summer there are people to eat mutton soup.

They stepped on the hour well, missed the highest peak at noon, and just vacated a seat, and the father and son sat down directly.

Mutton soup is recognized as the best meat at the time, a bowl of mutton soup costs three pennies, you can buy a big rice, that is, now eight and a half catties, a strong man only eats two liters a day, a bucket of rice can eat for five days! But this mutton soup can only be eaten for a full meal.

It's so expensive!

Liu Chenxing couldn't help but take a breath, and forgot for a moment that a pound of pearl rice in modern times costs about two or three yuan, and a bucket is about 20 yuan, which is almost the price of a bowl of mutton soup.

When I think about it, I let myself eat with peace of mind, but I still feel that it is wrong, modern people are not short of food, but at the moment, food is expensive, and this conversion is obviously unequal.

However, Liu Qianli was determined to let his children eat mutton soup, regardless of the hesitation of his children when they heard the price, he directly ordered two bowls of mutton soup and three Hu cakes, spending a total of nine cents.

According to the amount of food, Liu Qingshan had a bowl of soup and two cakes, Liu Chenxing had a bowl of soup and a cake, and Liu Qingqianli asked the store for a bowl of hot water, and took out the wild vegetable steamed cakes that Liu brought in the morning as lunch.

"Your aunt brought seven steamed cakes with wild vegetables, but they can't be wasted!" Liu Qianli said with a smile to his children.

"Aye, the mutton soup is such a big bowl, I can finish it, Aye has to help divide it." Liu Chenxing refused the hot water of the store, asked for an empty bowl, poured out half of the soup in the bowl, and reluctantly divided a large piece of mutton.

Liu Qingshan is also a man of action, he directly snatched the wild vegetable steamed cake in Liu Qianli's hand, and then stuffed a Hu cake over, and then took a big bite of the wild vegetable steamed cake, and said bluntly: "Aya, we all eat!" ”

The matter was a foregone conclusion, the soup was poured out, and the steamed cakes were eaten, Liu Qianli was both helpless and relieved, "Okay, let's all eat." ”
