The servants went back with their burdens, and Jia hesitated a few times on the road, but he still couldn't help but say to Sister Qiu: "Sister Qiu, what did you tell your uncle Shun about your milk?" Lao Sheng is a ...... Talkative. You ...... backwards But don't talk about your milk. "She is a kind and honest person, she can't accept the gossip of her elders behind her back, even if she is dissatisfied with her elders, she only complains at home, and will never go outside to tell outsiders.

"How can you not say that! Sister Qiu is right! Li Ailian was unhappy, "How many times have you been talked, but you just don't listen!" Why doesn't her grandmother oppress others, but she oppresses you? It's not because you are filial and you understand things, she can focus on bullying you, who is filial and understands things! Just what she did, people poked her back in the back without saying anything in front of her! ”

Jia Shi quietly listened to the eldest sister's reprimand, turned his face to look at the direction of Meiliang's tomb in the north of the village, and sighed.

"Mother, don't keep thinking about hiding it for my mother. My grandmother, there is only my uncle and Da Niu Erniu in my heart, you are good to her, and she will not accept your affection. If you are cowardly, she will force you to take me back, and we will be separated in vain. Yours think about it! Sister Qiu said that Jia's benevolence and righteousness to Mei Liang can be said to have done her best, although Mei Liang has never been good to her, Jia still does her best to maintain filial piety to Mei Liang's mother, and it is not about the love of husband and wife, but Jia's as a traditional virtuous woman, with morality to make requirements for herself.

Sister Qiu took a fancy to Lao Sheng's good talk, but she gave Lao Sheng a piece of water tofu as a "gratuity", Lao Sheng has been doing business for many years, and he is like a person, where would he not know what he meant?

There are many idlers in the grocery store, and all the big and small things in the village can be taken out to chat, Sister Qiu believes that Lao Sheng will be very interested in chatting about the good students who should be nagged, and the good students who should be speculated about with the big guys. When the whole village despises the Mei family, and when the Mei family is mentioned, the Mao family can ignore her own reputation, but she can't ignore Mei Qu's reputation, the family is tied together, the mother is not a thing, how good can the son be? At the very least, Mao will rein in a little.

Jia Shi thought about the separation of the family, day by day anxious, afraid that the only daughter would be sold, that kind of days are really tormented in purgatory, she is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but she can't bear the separation of flesh and blood, life and death. If you think about the days when everything was decided by yourself, in contrast, it seems that you have gone to heaven now, and you feel that everything is sweet when you eat saliva.

"Well, it's all up to you!" Jia Shi smiled and sighed, she also wanted to open, for Sister Qiu, she couldn't obey her mother-in-law's wishes, Sister Qiu was smart, what to do, just press Sister Qiu's meaning, Sister Qiu would not want her to suffer as a mother.

As soon as the servants walked to the door of the house, the door of the house opened, Zhang Yuxiu stood by the door and said with a smile: "Mother, auntie, why are you only coming back now?" I'm all in a hurry. If it weren't for Sister Qiu's desperate advice, I wouldn't be allowed to open the door and go out, I would have to look for you! ”

Li Ailian laughed, "There are a lot of bean curds made today, so I sold them for a few more moments!" ”

Sister Qiu smiled and raised the five-flower meat in her palm, "Sister Yuxiu, look at what this is, let's have a meat dish today!" ”

The situation of Zhang Yuxiu's family is a little better than that of Sister Zhiqiu, but there is no income, and she has to provide Zhang Ruoxu with education, her life is very frugal, and she rarely eats meat every day. Seeing that Sister Qiu bought meat, Zhang Yuxiu was also very happy in her heart.

Not long after returning home, Dayin and the donkey knocked on the door, and the two of them brought in half a basket of small river fish and small green shrimp, and the bamboo basket was still wet and dripping water.

"Sister Qiu, we will catch the little river fish and little green shrimp you want!" The Great Seal shouted.

Sister Qiu came out of the small kitchen, first looked at the hair of the two, and saw that it was dry, so she was relieved, and saw that the two male babies were a little skinned, and they were still obedient, and they didn't go down to the river to play in the water.

The small river fish in the basket and the small green shrimp are still fresh and rolling, and the silver river fish scales are shining in the sun.

"Okay, let me go for now." Sister Qiu said with a smile, weighed the basket, counted out the two money, and handed it to the big seal and the donkey with a smile, "Give the two of you your salary, take it!" ”

In this era, there were spices such as peppercorns, star anise, and cinnamon, but there were no spicy seeds, no monosodium glutamate, no chicken essence, and green shrimp skin. If you want to spice it, except for the original green onion, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and vinegar, there is almost nothing else. If you want to be "fresh", Sister Qiu thinks that she can't tolerate the synthesis of sodium glutamate, so she can only work on this small river fish and small green shrimp.

The small river fish and small green shrimp are smeared with a little salt, and after drying, they are chopped and sprinkled on the bean curd, which has a good taste and can increase the fragrance of the bean curd, and I believe that there will be more people who like to eat bean curd.

The two little boys glanced at each other, and they were not polite to Sister Qiu, they took the money with a smile, and thanked Sister Qiu with a brush: "Thank you, Sister Qiu!" ”

Sister Qiu waved her hand, "Dayin, you go back and talk to Uncle Lin and Auntie, you and Brother Dazhun will have dinner at my house at noon, and you can come too, donkey." ”

The relationship between the Jiang family and their family is getting closer and closer, and Dayin immediately responds: "Okay! The donkey also hurriedly agreed, Sister Qiu's food was delicious, and his father often envied him for being able to eat at Sister Qiu's house.

In the morning, the pork belly bought in the town was fat and thin, and Sister Qiu cut it into slices finely, and put it in a hot pot to fry the oil, but she didn't squeeze the fat meat completely, and then put the cut water tofu into it, and stir-fried it quickly, the water tofu absorbed the oil in the pot very quickly, diffused an attractive fragrance, and floated out far away. The greedy Xiao Hei chirped at Sister Qiu's feet, spun around, made Sister Qiu laugh angrily, and gently pushed Xiao Hei out of the small kitchen with his feet.

When the heat was almost gone, Sister Qiu poured two melons and scoops of water into the pot, stirred a few times, put the chopped yellow cabbage into it, and boiled it over low heat.

Jia rubbed the millet noodles and bud rice noodles, and pasted pancakes on the edge of the pot.

When Lin Zhun came over, he carried a large bundle of firewood, and the Jia family who looked at it was moved and distracted, "This kid, what are you doing so politely, the dry firewood sent yesterday hasn't burned yet!" ”

"I have nothing to do when I'm idle at home, and it doesn't take much effort to chop this firewood." Lin Zhun said with a smile, in Lin Zhun's eyes, a handful of firewood is not a help, and now his family and Sister Qiu's family, they can't care about who helps whom, Sister Qiu's bean dregs are all given to their family, this is a good thing to feed grass pigs, and their family has saved a lot of money in a year, not to mention that Dayin's snack goods always eat Sister Qiu's things for nothing.

"Sister Qiu, what did you do? I can smell the fragrance from the way you are here! Da Yin muttered, I really wanted to lift the lid of the pot and see what was delicious in the pot.

"It's water tofu, it's nothing more than boiled out, I heard my aunt say that your family is all fried?" Sister Qiu said with a smile.

Da Yin nodded, his face was meaty, the Jiang family had always spoiled him, and he had never been compromised in food, recalling the delicacy, Da Yin almost drooled a little, "Water tofu is very delicious when fried." ”

During the meal, Sister Qiu put all the boiled water tofu dishes into the basin, brought them to the dining table, and first sandwiched a piece of meat for Jia Shi and Li Ailian, "Mother, auntie, you eat meat!" ”

Jia's eyes turned red in an instant, smiled, and sandwiched all the meat for Lin Zhun and the children, "The big guys eat them all!" When she was begging for food under the hands of the Mei family, she never dreamed that there would be a day when she would earn money to buy meat and eat meat with peace of mind.

After eating, Uncle Shun's son Fuzi sent the beans.

Sister Qiu told Lin Zhun that she wanted to learn to write, and she wanted to learn to keep accounts in the future, Lin Zhun nodded one after another when she heard it, and went home to bring all the books she had used in private school, as Sister Qiu's enlightenment textbook.

With a teacher, it would be too wasteful to teach her. Sister Qiu pulled Yuxiu, and Dayin was a student of Lin Zhun with the donkey. Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu will not go to the imperial examination, the purpose is only to recognize a few more words, and it will be convenient to do business in the future, Lin Zhun only chose the "Three Character Classic" to teach the above words, a few people were reluctant to practice words on the paper, one person folded a small branch, practiced writing in the underground of the courtyard, and was proficient in drawing the words, so that Lin Zhun taught the next word.

For Sister Qiu, there is a foundation in the previous life, and when a 10-year-old child has a good memory, it is not very difficult to learn traditional Chinese characters, she is faster than Dayin and Zhang Yuxiu.

A few children were happily learning words at Sister Qiu's house, and the grocery store of Lao Sheng's family gradually became lively. This is not the time of the busy farming season, and all the people in the village like to gather in the shop after eating.

"Uncle Shun, is there anything big in our village that is the closest?" A man crouched on the ground and asked.

Lao Sheng smiled and said: "I heard about something recently, you don't know, you don't know, last afternoon the old lady of Mei Lao Xiucai's house ran to Mrs. Mei's house, and asked Mrs. Lao Xiucai to take Sister Qiu back to Mei's house!" ”

"Aren't they all separated? What are you going to do back? One of the men shouted.

Uncle Lao Shun smiled and shook his head incomprehensibly, "It is said that the original family is not counted, and the family will be lived in the future, and the family will not be separated." ”

Everyone who listened looked at each other, "What is this called?" What Mrs. Mei is doing is getting more and more shameless, the old Mei is a nest, she can't support her family, so she calls a foolish mother to come out and embarrass herself! ”

"Before, Mrs. Lao Xiucai was sick, and the old Mei family hated to throw people out in an instant, but now they look good at people, and they are cheeky enough to come to the door and ask people to go back, smack, ordinary people can't do this!"

"I didn't see Mrs. Xiucai making a small idea to make money, so I regretted it and wanted to ignore other people's money! I went to the town to catch a market and looked, and there were no people on the stall, and I couldn't collect any money! ”
