Chapter 20: The Men of the Ding Family

"Mother, where do you still have a private room?!" Sanya was not happy and stopped the Wu family.

"Pure nonsense, your eldest sister just came back......"

"No, you can eat whatever you want, and I don't like meat." Qiu Se was a little too late, after all, she was not the real daughter of the Wu family, how could she see that she had gone to so much trouble in order to make herself eat a piece of meat.

But the Wu family didn't comply, and Xu Shi's resentment for many years came out at the same time, "Can't I, a mother, buy a piece of meat for my daughter?" "Dump the sky Sanya went back to the house to rummage through the boxes.

"Mother!" Sanya stomped his feet in a hurry.

"Don't make a noise, I remember I still have a lacquered silver hairpin, and you will be able to buy and sell some meat for it later."

Sanya twisted her body and pouted, "I'm not going." ”

When he spoke, Wu had already found the hairpin, opened the wrapped handkerchief, and an old hairpin with black light lay there quietly, "I finally found it, this is still what your grandmother left me!" Wu stared at the hairpin in his hand with some reluctance.

"Mother, don't be a hairpin, you should keep it, I have money." Qiu Se really didn't understand, and she didn't open her mouth to ask for it, why did the Wu family decide that she had to buy meat for herself? Even at the expense of things. After the autumn color is finished, he will go to relieve his burden.

"What do you call me?" Wu was excited and grabbed Qiu Color's arm.

"Mother?!" When Qiu Se first entered the Ding family, because he was not the deity, and he was resistant to the Wu family who did not protect his daughter, he never opened his mouth to call people, and now he was in a hurry to call out this difficult name, and he felt that he was originally the same as their family, and when he spoke again, he was also very smooth.

Wu's tears rolled in his eyes, and he nodded again and again, "Good boy, good boy, I thought you had been complaining about me and refused to call me!" ”

"I didn't." The person who complains is gone.

"Don't worry, my mother will definitely compensate you well." Wu called Sanya and handed over the handkerchief wrapped in the hairpin, "You go quickly, you won't be able to cook in a while." ”

Sanya didn't move, "Mother, if the eldest sister has money, let her take the money, or let the milk know, you have to collect it, besides, your hairpin can't be used for a few dollars." ”

Wu reprimanded: "Your eldest sister's money belongs to your eldest sister, how can there be a reason for a mother to spend money on meat for her daughter and her daughter to spend money?" ”

"Mother, I really have it here." Qiu Se opened the burden on the kang, opened a tightly wrapped handkerchief on his clothes, and in addition to the loose silver and a pile of loose copper plates, Qiu Se grabbed a handful from it and handed it to Sanya, "In addition to meat, let's see what else is missing and buy it together." ”

"Don't take it, go to the street." Wu knocked off Sanya's hand to receive money, and said to Qiu Se: "If you are your mother, you are not allowed to take money for this meat!" You earn this money as a slave or a maidservant, and keep it for yourself as a dowry. ”

Wu said that there was no way to fight for the autumn color, and only said that he would buy a hairpin for Wu in the future, and Sanya saw this, and stomped his feet angrily and ran out of the door.

"You sit in the house by yourself, and my mother will go and cook the food first." Wu put on an old coat and went out.

The Ding family's house is a mud house, with low eaves and small windows, and the autumn color feels very depressed after sitting in the house for a while, so he went out to help the Wu family. The kitchen of the Ding family is an ear room built next to the main landlord, which is very dilapidated.

In the kitchen, Wu was struggling to bend over to light the fire, and Qiu Se hurriedly stepped forward to take over the fire, "Mother, why do you still let you cook with a child?" ”

"You kid don't stay in the house for a while." Wu straightened up and said with a smile while beating his waist: "Our family takes turns to do work, and today it is my turn." ”

"Where do you want to turn with a big belly?" Autumn Colors felt a little unfair.

Wu didn't care at all, "What's wrong with a big belly?" When I took you, I still had two acres of land in my hometown, and I was about to give birth, and I still worked in the field! ”

The autumn color is dumb, and the owner doesn't take it seriously, and it's not good for him to have any grievances. But Qiu Se overestimated her own level, although she came to ancient times for four years, she had never burned the fire herself, even if she went to the kitchen to cook, she had a special mother-in-law to light the fire for herself, and now let her come by herself for a while, choking Zhu smoke drifted all over the kitchen, and Wu had to help.

"I haven't done this." Autumn color also felt very embarrassed, I wanted to help, but I didn't expect it to help.

"It's okay, just do it two more times. You can't add too much firewood to this fire, and you can't add too ......much coarse wood at the beginning," Wu said, demonstrating the autumn colors.

Autumn color is very attentive to learning, after all, there will be no special mother-in-law to light the fire for herself in the future, and you can't always point to the Wu family, if you want to be self-reliant, you must learn to make a fire.

When the two were studying, Sanya had already bought the things back, Wu looked at the small strip of meat and a lot of tofu and vegetables, his face was a little bad, and asked, "When all the money was spent?" How do you buy this little thing? ”

"Mother, how valuable are you to your hairpin?" Sanya shook her sore arm and complained, "There are still two cents left, didn't you promise to buy me flowers to wear for the New Year last time?" Just give me the money first. Without waiting for Wu to speak, he ran away.

Wu didn't chase after his daughter to ask for the two pennies, so he only sighed and went to clean up the meat, still muttering, "This meat should be left over from the morning, it's not fresh, and the vegetables are gone." The movements in his hands did not stop, and he quickly selected vegetables, washed vegetables, cut meat, and distilled the nest.

Towards the end of the Shen period, Wu's meal had just been prepared, and Ding Laohan also led his three sons into the house.

Ding Laohan was in his fifties, his back was slightly hunched, his lean face was tight, and he looked a little mean, and when he saw the autumn color, he was surprised at first, and then it was similar to what the second aunt asked. "You didn't get into trouble at the master's house and escaped, did you?"

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Qiu Color's tone was flat, "No, the master let me come back, I don't believe you can go and check." ”

Ding Laohan was very dissatisfied with being robbed, and glared at Qiu Se fiercely with his cloudy eyes.

In comparison, Ding Dafu was really happy to see his daughter, and while muttering, 'It's good to come back', he picked up the cigarette pouch and smoked it, I don't know if it was smoked, and his eyes were a little red.

Ding Erfu smiled and asked how he came back, whether he was tired, whether he ate or not, and other trivial questions, although he was not as excited as Ding Dafu, his attitude was much kinder than Ding Laohan.

As for Ding Sanfu, he just nodded to Qiu Se, and said, 'I'll stay more when I come back', and then pulled Zhao to the side to speak, with a lukewarm attitude.

Qiu Se also saw the red jade of the second uncle's house, she looked like the second aunt, but her temperament followed the second uncle, she recognized her relatives enthusiastically, and kept asking this and that around Qiu Se; The third uncle's red apricot was very cold, standing directly behind the Zhao family and bowing his head and saying nothing.

Jinbao of the third uncle's family is the only boy of the third generation of the Ding family, and he is spoiled by everyone.

"Are you all here? It's time to eat. "Ding Laohan has hugged enough of his grandson, Zhang Luo has dinner.

"The second daughter-in-law didn't come back to eat, and the fourth didn't arrive home, and he said that he would come back for dinner today." Mrs. Ding was chattering in her mind, when she suddenly heard the sound of opening the door, followed by the shouting of the old son, "Mother, there is no good food, I am hungry." ”
