That man was my father. ”

Although Qian Qianqian has never seen the original father, she is a generous person based on the memories she has left, and it is common for her to embroider a purse or something.

It turned out to be her father, Xiao Mohan realized that he had eaten vinegar that he shouldn't have eaten.

As soon as Leng Ran's momentum subsided, he became normal again and continued to ask her.

"And what about my purse?"

Qian Qianqian's eyes widened, and she was a little helpless: "No matter how urgent the general is, it will take three or five days, and now I can't change it." ”

That's the promise.

Xiao Mohan nodded with satisfaction, picked up the military book and continued to read.

Not long after staying in the house, Qian Fen came to call outside.

She opened a pair of big watery eyes: "Big sister, we are hungry." ”

Recently, during the time when the eldest sister was away, they were all hungry and thin, and after eating the food cooked by the eldest sister, they felt that it was not delicious to eat what others made in the future.

Now that Qian Qianqian is back, a few people can't be happier.

Qian Qianqian put down the pen she had just picked up again, got up and went to the kitchen to take a look, there were still a lot of dishes in the kitchen, including pork, potatoes and some common leafy vegetables.

It's better to make braised pork, and then stir-fry the smoked bacon slices and bamboo shoots is also delicious.

It's best to have another old duck soup, but there are no ducks at home, so Qian Qianqian started Xiao Jiu's idea.

As soon as she entered the space, Xiao Jiu sullenly squinted at her with her eyes: "A woman with no conscience, she will only think of me when she can use me, you calculate the days yourself, you haven't come in to see me for a long time." ”

Qian Qianqian's heart was weak, and she said in a flattering tone: "Xiao Jiu is the best, so you won't worry about me, just give me a duck." ”

As she spoke, Qian Qianqian took out a few meat bones.

"Xiao Jiu?"

She exclaimed cautiously, "This meat and bone are the freshest, and I just brought them back to you from the butcher's house, not to mention how fragrant they are." ”

This is true, the butcher often kills pigs, so he can always leave some meat and bones for his own stew to drink, this meat and bones are difficult to gnaw, most of them are thrown away.

Qian Qianqian bought some from the butcher that had not been gnawed back, just to please this ancestor.

Sure enough, Xiao Jiu couldn't resist the temptation of meat and bones.

Xiao Jiu ran over with a hara, but he still looked arrogant: "Leave the meat and bones, you can roll with the duck." ”

"Okay!" Qian Qianqian carried the duck and walked away happily.

There was another dish of duck soup, Qian Qianqian boiled an extra pot of water, and while boiling the water, she began to wash and chop vegetables, while saying to Qian Fen, who was watching her cook at the door: "Fenfen, please invite Aunt Liu over." ”

During her absence, Aunt Liu troubled her a lot, and she always had to invite someone to dinner.

Qian Fen likes Aunt Liu, and when she heard that she wanted Aunt Liu to come from home to eat, she ran out of the house, and Qian's mother, who happened to be walking towards the kitchen, couldn't stop shouting, and entered the kitchen with a broken thought.

"What's wrong with this girl, she ran away without even saying hello."

Qian Qianqian took the time to reply: "She went to call Aunt Liu to come to our house for dinner, I think I have troubled Aunt Liu a lot during my absence, since I am back, it is better to have a meal together." ”

Mother Qian responded absentmindedly twice, because she had something in her heart, she stood there and said no, didn't say no, her lips snorted several times, and closed silently.

Qian Qianqian just didn't see it, the bacon was put into the pot, and a salty fragrance erupted, and there was a sound of sizzling, which hooked the mouth.

After the bacon is fried until it is medium-cooked, then put in the dried bamboo shoots, the dried bamboo shoots will absorb the excess greasy of the bacon, and the dried bamboo shoots will have a little more salty aroma unique to bacon.

"It smells so good."

Aunt Liu came quickly, and brought Liu Han with her by the way, she smiled and walked towards the kitchen: "Qianqian girl, my Liu Han has no one to cook for him at home alone, so I will be cheeky and let him come too, don't you mind." ”

Qian Qianqian understood what Aunt Liu meant, but she really had no extra feelings for Liu Han except for gratitude, so she also intended to avoid it.

But everyone brought it, and she naturally welcomed it with a smile.

"Aunt Liu is now outside, Brother Liu Han has also helped us a lot, just like my own brother, how can I mind if he comes to dinner."

As soon as Aunt Liu heard this, the plan she knew fell through.

But it's also said that Qianqian's girl is very powerful, no worse than a man, and their Liu Han is really not worthy.

Aunt Liu didn't force it, and said with a smile: "You treat him as your brother, Aunt Liu, it's good to treat you as your daughter." ”

Qian Qianqian's stir-fry action paused, and turned back to Aunt Liu and smiled: "I thought you had already regarded me as your daughter." ”

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

The dried bacon and bamboo shoots were stir-fried out of the pot, and the braised pork and duck soup in the small stove over there were almost stewed, and the whole kitchen was filled with a rich aroma of meat.

Qian Qianqian made a few more green dishes at random, and the dishes with all the color and flavor were finally put on the table.

As soon as the dishes were served, the sisters and brothers of the Qian family, who had not eaten well for a long time, were so happy that their mouths never stopped, and satisfaction was written on every face.

Especially the stack of bacon bamboo shoots, which was sandwiched clean by everyone in three or five times.

"It's still my sister's cooking."

Qian Fen finished eating and wiped her mouth with satisfaction.

The other two brothers nodded approvingly.

However, they are the only ones who are satisfied, and the rest seem to have their own agendas.

Because Xiao Mohan was also at the table, Aunt Liu and Liu Han were a little uncomfortable, and Qian Qianqian didn't expect Xiao Mohan to eat with them, so she could only blame herself for not thinking about it enough.

And Xiao Mohan, I don't know who provoked him, his face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and he looks like he is not close to anyone, Qian Qianqian wisely didn't bother with him.

As for Qian Mu, it has always been a little weird today.

There were outsiders present, and Qian Qianqian didn't ask much, but Qian's mother couldn't hold back her words.

"Qianqian, when you went to town yesterday, your aunt came again."

Qian Qianqian was shocked, Mother Qian held back her words until now, I am afraid that the eldest aunt has done something wrong.

She put down her chopsticks and couldn't help frowning: "She's asking for money again?" ”

"Well, I'm thinking about it, or I'll lend them the silver." Qian Mu's voice weakened, and her eyes didn't dare to look at Qian Qianqian.

Qian Qianqian thought that she was in debt now, and she was speechless for a while, Qian's mother was too kind-hearted.

She sighed: "Mother, if you want to borrow it, you can borrow it, but I said in advance, I don't have any silver." ”

"The grain has just been sold, how come you don't have any silver?" Mother Qian's voice was raised, for fear that her little girl's family would be deceived outside.

"I bought a yard in town yesterday."

Qian Qianqian didn't talk about the store under the plate, nor did she mention the matter of owing Xiao Mohan silver.

As soon as she heard that there was no money, Qian's mother first panicked: "Then what should I do, Qianqian, I promised your aunt to lend it to her, or you will sell the yard first?" Anyway, it's okay here for us now......"

Sold the yard? How much money did you promise to lend to your aunt?

When the ground was cleared, all the internal organs were burned, and the stinging pain of scratching the heart and lungs.

"Mother, how much silver are you going to lend them?"

Qian Qianqian's face sank, and she didn't care that Aunt Liu and Liu Han were still in the house.

Mother Qian's eyes flashed, and she whispered, "Five hundred taels." ”

Five hundred taels! This is simply a number that ordinary people dare not imagine! Not to mention Aunt Liu, even Xiao Mohan's face was shocked.

Qian Qianqian stood up angrily, her face turned pale, and she said with hidden anger.

"Where did our family get so much money to lend to others!"

"Your aunt said that you just sold a batch of grain, which is a few hundred taels of silver." Mother Qian knew that she was at a loss, she couldn't raise her head down, and her face was panicked, "She said that your father is seriously ill, if we don't lend money to your father for treatment, we are unfilial people, and we will force your father to death." ”

Qian Qianqian glanced at Mother Qian, this kind of words, I'm afraid that only Mother Qian will believe it, those grains are only sold for dozens of taels of silver, and the other silver tickets were given to her by the young master as a thank you gift when she was leaving the Cao Gang.

"Next time she comes back, you can tell her directly that she has no money, and as for the master's illness, we will wait until we confirm it in person."

Qian Mu licked her lips and did not speak.

After all, she is a traditional woman and a widow, and she is most afraid of being pointed at behind her back.

As soon as Zhao said that if she didn't give money and didn't treat her father-in-law, she would be scolded by the whole village, and drowned alive by everyone's saliva.

When she thought of the days when she couldn't straighten her waist wherever she went, she was afraid, and when she heard that she did have so much silver, she thought that she could earn more without the silver, so she hesitated to agree.

Zhao is very smart, so ...... Also asked her to write an IOU.

Mother Qian realized that she had done something stupid, and her heart trembled: "I also wrote her an IOU." ”

Qian Qianqian didn't even have the strength to be angry now, and said lightly: "Mother, you stay at home and take care of Yaoyao." ”

After saying this, Qian Qianqian raised her feet and walked towards the Qian family, Xiao Mohan followed closely behind, and the others waited for news in the house.

"What are you going to do? To scold them or to rob them? Xiao Mo asked coldly.

Qian Qianqian strode forward, with a wave of anger around her, her fair little face was tense, and she thought of her aunt's family, and her eyes showed hatred.

"She's shameless, and I'm not going to be embarrassed, whether the IOU is stolen or robbed, I have to get it back."

Xiao Mohan nodded: "It's good to know that you can't reason with them." ”

He glanced at Qian Qianqian, and said his plan without changing his face, after finishing speaking, Qian Qianqian felt that her anger was gone, she looked at him in a daze, showing a crying and laughing expression.

I didn't expect that a dignified general would also make these small means.

The two went to the Qian family together, and the Qian family was also poor, and there were few things that could catch the eye. Especially the chicken coop, because it has not been taken care of for a long time, you can smell the pungent stench from afar.

Qian Qianqian kicked the door open, and the first few people in the humble room were sitting together to eat, but the dishes on the table were chicken, duck and fish that were incompatible with the surrounding tattered environment.

Oh, you don't have to ask to know that this is bought with money cheated from her mother.

Qian Qianqian didn't have a good voice as soon as she spoke, and mocked: "The eldest aunt is really capable, she can support the big family by herself." ”

This girl knew that she had deceived her mother of 500 taels of IOUs, so she came to trouble her, right?

The eldest aunt glanced at the eldest uncle, picked up a hoe in her hand, and looked at Qian Qianqian and Xiao Mohan vigilantly.
