Chapter 030: Stealing Mouths
"Brother Hong has already spent seven dollars in town, plus I bought a girl in the second room before, in just one month, our family is like bloodletting. If something happens after that, I won't be able to afford it. ”
Hong sighed for a long time, feeling sorry for the silver in his hand, and complained that the second room was dizzy and what girl to buy, so that there were only a few pieces of silver left in his hand, and the days were about to be tight.
"What can happen? Don't go to the town, don't buy a house, and the second is that there is still money coming in every month. As long as Brother Hong'er can save some, he can save another year or two and send a baby to the town. ”
Old Man Song sat on the bed and smoked a dry cigarette, thinking of the recent compliments from those people in the village, and his heart was a little sad.
After dinner, he made a special trip to ask the second brother Hong what class he was in, but he didn't expect it to be the Ding class, that is, the last shift.
Song Ercai went to the school hall in the town to study that year, and the old man Song also knew that the school hall was divided into four classes: A, B, C, D, with the first class as the head and the D class as the last.
Old man Song couldn't figure it out, so many people praised the eldest grandson's article for being good, with Huigen, how could it be divided into C, how could it be the end.
Hong didn't know what her husband was thinking, and she was still a little dissatisfied after hearing what she had just said.
"What do you mean to save some? Even if they all sent Brother Hong to town, they naturally followed him closely, and they were sure that they would end up next year after reading the book. Even the big heads of the bundle of money are gone, if you are harsh on that bit of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, it will not be a watermelon and a sesame seed. ”
There are scholars at home, and Hong also likes to make metaphors when he speaks.
Old Man Song frowned: "I didn't say that I was reluctant to study, I can save money on food and clothing, like the last time I invited my classmates, it was too much." ”
Originally, the family began to be tight, and it made people feel as if the Song family had a lot of money, and it always felt bad.
Hong smacked: "You are just a rat-eyed, you can't just come to that incident last time." Brother Hong can say, those classmates may not be brothers in the career, now everyone is still young, a little grace can be affectionate, and when you enter the office, what is the matter with those glasses of wine. ”
The one or two pieces of silver spent on the Hong family felt that it was worth it, but the old man Song was not.
As for those boys in the private school, not to mention entering the office, it's not bad to have a heart for scientific examination, and it's not about inviting those people if you want to invite them!
knew that it didn't make sense to talk to his mother-in-law, and Old Man Song didn't bother to explain.
"Don't mention the past, in short, you will have a bowl of water in the future, so you won't have to gossip."
He said that he was about to go to bed to rest, but Hong, who was still stringing copper plates, was unhappy, and said unhappily: "Why am I not leveling a bowl of water?" You don't want to think about the fact that after so many years, I don't always care about the family in the second room at home.
Shouldn't Brother Hong go to the school? It's almost fourteen, and if you don't go to take any more subjects. How old is Brother Tim? It's not that there is still a lot of time, Chang Xiao'e thinks beautifully, and after buying a daughter-in-law, she has to send her son to town, and Song Tian ruined her face, so we have to provide it like a big man. ”
"I said you, can you say two words less?"
Old Man Song's voice also carried some anger: "Don't forget that you blamed us for that incident at the beginning, and it was also our sin to cling to the second room." ”
"That's not right, we were also deceived back then, and besides, who would have expected an accident." Hong's momentum gradually decreased: "After so many years, the second room has been the king and hegemon at home, shouldn't it be returned?" Chang Xiao'e has no daughter, and my peach is ...... too"
"You still have the face to mention her? If you don't shut up, get out of here. ”
Old Man Song was angry, lifted the quilt and bounced directly off the bed.
Hong Shi was startled and complained in a low voice: "What are you fierce?" After that, I didn't dare to speak again.
The next day, the Song family's life was as usual.
After eating in the morning, Mr. Song took his three sons to go around the field and weed by the way.
When Song Ercai returned home, Song Sancai would also give himself a day off, a rare family reunion, but now there is one less Song Hong.
Hong's heard that his second son was busy and was going to leave in the afternoon, so he took some pork ribs out to stew potatoes at noon.
The noon meal was made by the mother and daughter of the big house, Song Qing was drooling before the ribs were stewed, she saw that there was no one left and right, so she picked up the spatula and gave Zhou Shi a look at who was chopping vegetables.
Zhou smiled slightly, and she was hungry for the smell of meat.
This is agreed, Song Qing secretly opened the lid of the pot, stretched out the shovel and got a little broth out.
"Mother, I'll try salty first."
Song Qing swallowed saliva as he spoke, blew and drank the meat.
It's a little less oil and water than the big fat meat, but I can't stand the fragrance!
Zhou saw his daughter smacking and sneering: "Look at your little bit of interest." If you want to eat it, just sandwich two pieces of meat, and it's hard to say if you can get one on the table when you get to the table. ”
"Can you eat meat?"
Song Qing thought that she had heard something, but she didn't believe it when she saw Zhou's nod.
Although this kind of thing is not the first time to do it, but before stealing mouths, I always stole two mouthfuls of soup and ate some side dishes, and I didn't dare to touch the meat at all.
How many things were taken and how many dishes were cooked, the milk was very clear.
"You still don't believe you if you say you're unproductive."
Zhou held the bowl in his hand, took the shovel and picked it up in the pot, and after a while, he made three ribs.
"Mother, what should I do if the milk is not enough for a while?"
Song Qing kept swallowing her saliva, but she still didn't dare to relax and eat.
"Don't worry, your grandma won't say it."
Zhou had already grabbed it with his hand and put it in his mouth, and when he saw that his daughter was not moving, he explained: "Just two ribs, what do you think is a precious thing?" In the future, this family will have to rely on your eldest brother, and your milk won't bother to care about this little bit of food. ”
It's just a few pieces of pork ribs, and when her son becomes a sergeant and an official, she will be shabby when she feeds the dogs.
As soon as Song Qing heard that it made sense, how could he manage so much, and when he saw that there was still a piece left, he hurriedly grabbed it and sent it to his mouth.
The mother and daughter ate three pieces, thinking that they could satisfy their hunger, but they didn't want to finish eating it, so they had no choice but to spoon some soup and pick two potatoes.
In the courtyard, Hong's inspection of the vegetable garden came back, and when she saw the two people who were stealing food in the stove room, her brows were furrowed, she really wanted to go in and yell a few words as before, but when she thought of her eldest grandson who was studying in the town, she couldn't bear it in one breath.
Song Hong is now studying in the town, and he will end up next year, if there is really any creation, the whole family will rely on him in the future, and the big house will steal some food, forget it, when you don't see it.
Hong went back to the room across the basket, and on the other side of the ear room, Wang quietly opened the door, looked at the stove room and spat out the door: "If you get a benefit, you still take advantage of it, do you want to have a face?" ”
Wang scolded in a low voice, the mother and daughter of the big house were eating secretly in the stove room, and she was all in the eyes under the window just now.
"Mother, eat meat."
Three-year-old Song Huan was about to cry when she smelled the smell of meat, staring at the stove with big watery eyes, and pulling Wang's sleeve to go over there.
