The wages of Uncle Li's father and son were 80 wen a day, and they were busy for seven days for a total of 560 wen.

The two of them are not people without conscience, and after receiving the money, they specially thanked Pu Cao for their good hospitality in the past few days, and said that if Pu Cao followed Chunni to Lijia Village in the future, he would definitely go to their house to sit and have a meal.

Pu Cao naturally responded, and the father and son took the salute and got up to say goodbye and go home.

Dong Si was also excited, and was anxious to go back to show off this small fortune with his family, so he accompanied them away.

Pu Cao sent them to the door, turned her head and saw that the eyes of the old couple of the Liu family glanced at her from time to time, so she hurriedly said, "Uncle and aunt, you sit, I'll go back to cook first." With that, she turned around and went out, closing the door with her hand...

Chunni warmed up the leftover stews and cakes at noon, and as soon as she set up the table, she saw Pu Cao come back with peach blossoms and Shanzi one by one, so she smiled and said, "When the meal is ready, you eat first, my son is still hungry, so I will take a bowl of vegetables back and eat." ”

Pu Cao smiled while rolling up her sleeves for the two children, "Your in-laws haven't left yet, I was sarcastically ridiculed by Uncle Li just now, I'm afraid that the anger is big, you can hide for a while before leaving." ”

Chunni sat down to eat together, and Zhang Gui'er, who had been hiding in the room for a day, slowly drank porridge and ate cakes, and secretly raised her eyes to Pucao from time to time. Pu Cao didn't respond at all, pretending not to see it at all, but held back all the words he had prepared earlier, so angry that he hated to bite the pickle strips and get angry.

The family only ate a few bites, and then heard someone knocking on the door of the courtyard, Chunni thought that Liu Housheng couldn't bear to be hungry and ran to find her, so she hurriedly got up to open the door and complained, "Why are you here, I'll bring back the food in a while..."

It's a pity that halfway through her words, she can see clearly through the dim moonlight that the large group of people who have walked into the courtyard one after another, where is the man in her family, it is obviously Zhang Laoer's family, big and small.

Her face froze, and she hurriedly turned around to inform Pu Cao, "Pu Cao, Second Uncle Peach Blossom's family is here." ”

Pu Cao was also stunned when she heard it, since the last time this miser couple was beaten out by her with a flat pole, they cursed her at home every day, and preached to the villagers everywhere that she didn't understand the rules, and she had a posture of not getting along with each other, and she was happy that she would completely get rid of this stinky meat in the future, but she didn't expect them to take the initiative to stick it again, which was really unexpected.

Over there, although Zhang Gui had a bad face, he stood up and greeted him. Pu Cao frowned, and also put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Ah, the dinner table is set so early." Your second aunt and I heard that there was muddy water at home, and we thought about coming over to help, and we didn't want to delay something for a while when we went out. It's a good thing, the work didn't help and I rushed to the meal. ”

Aunt Zhang's second aunt stepped on the threshold with one foot and pointed at the floor with one foot, and echoed with a smile, "But no, if you don't help your family, you can still expect outsiders to fail?" As she said this, the half-swollen eyes of the dead fish glanced at Chunni, and her face was full of contempt, and anyone could see the implication.

Chunni's face sank, as if she wanted to open her mouth to refute a few words, but after seeing how the Pucao family endured it again, she smiled and said, "Pucao, I haven't boiled medicine for my son, so I'll go back first." With that, she got up and went out.

Aunt Zhang pouted, and then entered the door, as proud as a winning rooster. She was about to say a few more words, but she was unexpectedly pulled by her second son, Heiwa'er, and shouted in a rough voice, "Mother, didn't you say that you brought me to eat meat, where is the meat?" I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat! ”

Second Aunt Zhang pulled off her youngest son with a somewhat embarrassed face and said, "Don't make any noise, your uncle's family is rich, and the meat is all big pieces... Huh," she said, her eyes wandering around the table, but she didn't want to see half of the meat. So he immediately darkened his face and complained, "Why, do you know that our family is coming, and you can hide all the meat and vegetables?" It's all a family, as for being so stingy? ”

Heiwa'er was born with a bit of a stupid brain, although she was twelve or thirteen years old, her mind was still about four or five years old. He didn't know what his mother would say, only that there was no meat to eat in front of him, so he immediately lay down on the ground and rolled, "I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!" ”

Pu Cao was afraid that he would kick Peach Blossom and Shanzi, so he hurriedly drove them into the inner room, and then said in a cold voice, "The family has been busy with some work these days, and because some villagers came to help, I bought a piece of meat to serve the guests." But it was already finished yesterday, and it would have been nice if the second uncle and second aunt had come to help earlier. ”

Second Uncle Zhang originally heard from the villagers last night that Pucao asked someone to help build the wall, and the dishes prepared were very rich, and there was even bud grain wine.

He was a drunkard like his life, and he didn't sleep well all night, so he wanted to rush over in the morning, but Aunt Zhang stopped him and said that he had to work all morning to get food if he came too early, so it was better to go out later.

As soon as he thought about it, he stayed at home.

As a result, when she wanted to go out again at noon, Aunt Zhang said that eating at noon was to cushion her stomach, and there would be no good food and wine. It's better to bring the children to the door at night, and the family will save food.

Second Uncle Zhang rarely praised his mother-in-law a few words, but he didn't make lunch for the family, tightened his belt and waited for a big meal in the evening.

It's a pity that no one of them calculated that Pucao's wages were paid happily, and Dong Si and Li Sanshu, father and son, were so happy that they went home early. Chunni is also a thrifty by nature, there are no guests to entertain only her own family's dinner table, so it is naturally a way to eat on ordinary days with less oil and no meat.

In order to take advantage, Zhang Er's family waited and waited, but in the end they waited on the duck rack, and they had to say that they were really unhappy.

Second Uncle Zhang was still a little reluctant to believe Pu Cao's words, and asked tentatively, "Isn't there anyone helping with work in the afternoon, why is there no wine and food to entertain?" Is the wine table in Liu's house? ”

Pu Cao secretly rolled his eyes, and didn't bother to pick on his speech, and mocked, "Second Uncle is really well-informed, and there are indeed people to help with work in the afternoon, but I didn't stay to eat when I saw that I was in a hurry to go home every night." ”

"That's... What about the bud valley wine, all drunk? ”

Pu Cao looked at Second Uncle Zhang's round eyes, with a nervous look in his throat, his heart was really shameless, and he slowly extinguished his last glimmer of hope, "The bud wine was finished last night, and I cleaned the jar and filled it with salt." ”

Second Uncle Zhang hasn't touched alcohol for more than a month, so he is counting on eating and drinking to have a good time, where did he think that this is the result. As soon as he thought that a jar full of wine had entered other people's stomachs, he didn't catch any of it, and the fire in his heart was three feet high, so arched that he almost rolled his eyes and fainted.

Aunt Zhang didn't know whether she was born without eyes or tried her best to cover up her mistakes, and stood next to her stupid son who was playing tricks and complained, "There are still fools who don't eat after finishing their work these days, what a fool, if you don't want to give us food, just say it!" Pity our black baby, I've been hungry all afternoon to eat a mouthful of meat from my uncle's house..."

She still has to say more, but Second Uncle Zhang can't listen to it. He was so distressed at this time that he was out of reason, and he didn't care if the jar of baogu wine was his family. When he remembered that the wine had been drunk, it was like someone had ripped off the flesh of his heart, and the mother-in-law who prevented him from coming to the door earlier was the murderer with the knife.

He was angry and angry, and as soon as he raised his hand and "snapped", he slapped him twice.

Aunt Zhang's second aunt has a big waist and a round waist, and if she is on weekdays, she will not be beaten up. But she was pulling her stupid son defenselessly at this moment, and she rolled with her son under force. When she got up, she covered her face and was stunned for a long time, and suddenly cried, "Zhang Laoer, why did you beat me?" ”

Second Uncle Zhang snorted coldly, "If it weren't for you, how could my wine be drunk?" You stop me when I go out, but now it's okay, it's late! ”

Aunt Zhang's face was swollen like a red steamed bun, and she was about to step forward to fight when she struggled, "You are complaining about me again now, obviously you praised me for being smart before!" You're angry before you drink alcohol, and I haven't eaten meat yet..."

These two of them were full of resentment, and the two of them started to quarrel with each other like this.

The eldest dog of the Zhang family is not tall, thin, but has a sharp beak and monkey gills, no matter how you look at it, it is a little obscene. I was disappointed when I entered the house and saw that there was no good food, but then I couldn't bear to be hungry and reached out and grabbed the cake on the table and ate it.

The youngest daughter shows off her age with Peach Blossom, she is taller than Peach Blossom, and her appearance is also delicate. When she saw her brother like this, she also ate and drank, and even secretly stuffed a cake in her arms while everyone was not paying attention.

Pu Cao looked at it together, and the disgust in his heart really couldn't be hidden.

As the old saying goes, it's not like a family doesn't enter a door. This family, stupid and greedy, the only girl who looks better still prefers petty theft, which is really too good.

Seeing the couple who were hugging each other with red eyes, and they didn't mean to stop, Pu Cao really hated itchy, picked up the broom next to the door and knocked it the table, and shouted, "Okay, stop it!" ”

The Zhang family and his wife had long forgotten where they were when their eyes were red, and they suddenly heard this loud shout and were a little puzzled, and when they saw the surrounding furnishings clearly, as well as the nephew with a look of shame and anger, and the nephew with disdain, they finally understood that this was not their own home.

And just now, the two of them scolded each other like that, and they had already exposed the family's thoughts of eating and drinking, and even if their skin was as thick as the city wall, they also felt red and hot at this moment.

The two of them quickly got up and said, "Well, there is still something at home, so let's go back first, and come back to help another day when we have work." ”

After speaking, the two ran out of the yard as soon as they slipped away, leaving the black baby sobbing and lying on the ground. Gou Yu stepped forward and kicked a few times, and then he reluctantly got up, followed the eldest brother who grabbed a cake in each hand, and the girl who was bulging in his arms went out.
