Qi Ruowen coaxed the little girl and told her that the sugar gourd could not be kept, and if she didn't eat it, it would be bad, so she didn't make any more trouble.

It's just that this little girl has a younger brother is remembered by Qi Ruo.

The little girl is only three years old, and she looks very afraid of her father, she will never lie to people, so the only one who lies is her cousin? Why is she lying? What exactly does she want to do?

Just when there were still two sugar gourds left in the little girl's hand, Bai Mingyue finished washing the dishes and walked out of the stove room to the hall, but before she stepped into the door, she saw the little girl who was eating happily with a string of sugar gourds.

Qi Ruo observed her carefully, and saw that she swallowed her saliva, clumsily put away the desire in her eyes, and pretended to be angry and snatched the sugar gourd in the little girl's hand.

"Where did you get the sugar gourd?"

Bai Mingyue asked for some reason? Who else could give it except Qi Ruo.

But Qi Ruo didn't dismantle Bai Mingyue, but still smiled as before: "I bought it this morning, and I didn't give it to her when I thought it was time to have lunch, and now it's just for her to eat and play." ”

After thinking about it, she added: "It's a hawthorn, it doesn't support people, and it also helps her to eat." ”

Bai Mingyue's face only froze for a moment and then returned to normal: "But this is covered with a layer of sugar coating, she is teething, and if she eats too much, she is afraid that it will rot." ”

Qi Ruo never expected that his gentle and kind cousin would become like this, because he had hollowed out his mind to grab his baby's things to eat.

Qi Ruo didn't argue with her much about this, but said: "It's me who didn't think it through." ”

Bai Mingyue glanced at the sugar gourd in her hand again, and seemed to be quite melancholy: "How many years?" It's been four years, and I haven't eaten sugar gourds again. ”

Qi Ruo's eyes flashed: "This little baby can't eat more, and there are two left, it's not good to leave it there for a long time, why don't you taste it cousin." ”

Bai Mingyue is really not a person who can pretend, and after listening to Qi Ruo, she didn't say a few polite words, and ate the remaining two sugar gourds in two bites, without chewing them twice.

Qi Ruo looked at Bai Mingyue like this, angry and a little distressed, and said unconsciously: "Cousin has had a hard time in the past few years......"

Bai Mingyue nodded violently: "I really can't eat enough, you look at my clothes, I haven't changed them for a long time, just two of them." In the past, I could still have a new outfit every year, and if my family was better that year, I would be able to change two clothes......"

Bai Mingyue's words evoked Qi Ruo's memories, at that time, her cousin was not as loud as she is now, she was always soft-spoken, wearing bright clothes, and smiling smartly.

Qi Ruo suddenly couldn't bear to ask about those things again, Rao was lying to herself.

But Qi Ruo understands that she is not a person after all, and her cousin's behavior is too weird now, what if she has any bad thoughts?

She can't afford to gamble!

"Cousin, why didn't you get pregnant after that?" Qi Ruo saw Bai Mingyue looking at herself steadily, afraid that she would be suspicious, and said, "No, now I have also learned some medical skills, and I can show you what I really have in my body." ”

Bai Mingyue subconsciously took a step back, reluctantly hooked the corners of her mouth, and replied in a low voice: "What's wrong with me?" I see...... See...... It was my man who had a physical problem and planted the blame on me. ”

"Really?" Qi Ruo saw that Bai Mingyue's resistance was so obvious, and his suspicion was even worse, but the smile on his face became more and more gentle and harmless, "It's okay, I'll help you take a look, it's also beneficial and harmless, don't shy away from the doctor." ”

Bai Mingyue's face turned cold: "Ah Ruo, do you just hope that your cousin is not in good health?" I've said it all, it's your cousin-in-law's poor health......"

At this point, Qi Ruo couldn't continue to insist, so she just asked her to take care of her body and went to the yard to help fill sausages.

At this time, Aunt Wang had already cut the meat, Qi Ruo rolled up her sleeves and washed her hands, and was about to start sprinkling spices and meat, but she was pushed aside by Aunt Wang.

"Go and go, I know the ingredients, there are spicy people, you can't burn in a panic? I'm old and thick-skinned, let me come. ”

Qi Ruo was moved and helpless: "Godmother, I often do this work, it's nothing." ”

"The eldest lady is really good, she loves her daughter-in-law like this, unlike my mother-in-law...... I can't wait to leave all the work at home and outside of my home. ”

Qi Ruo saw that Bai Mingyue and her mother-in-law didn't treat her well, and I was afraid that it was true.

Aunt Wang was not angry, and said deliberately: "I want to give birth to my daughter, although I didn't give birth to it, but when I marry into my family, I will be my daughter." ”

No matter how stupid Bai Mingyue was, she heard Aunt Wang's voice, her face was a little unbearable, she lowered her head and saw the little girl who was pulling the hem of her skirt, and hugged her.

"I'm going to coax my baby to take a nap, she has to sleep for a while now, and I'll come out to help when she sleeps."

After that, he didn't wait for Aunt Wang and Qi Ruo to say anything, turned around and entered the house.

Qi Ruo was a little hesitant whether he should tell Aunt Wang about his discovery, but this hesitation was only for a moment, and he still opened his mouth in the end.

"Godmother, that little girl told me that she has a younger brother."

Aunt Wang sprinkled spices: "It seems that things are not simple, and I don't know what she wants to do, so be vigilant." ”

"It's me who is involved......" Before Qi Ruo's words were finished, she was glared back by Aunt Wang.

The two were afraid that the people in the house would hear it, so they didn't mention it again, and concentrated on the work at hand.

"It smells so good." Qi Ruo sniffed, and the smell of spicy seeds and spices rushed straight to his nose, a fragrance that can arouse people's appetite, "Godmother is really capable." ”

Aunt Wang glanced at her with disgust: "It's sweet for you." ”

The spice grocery store with sausages is actually sold, but Aunt Wang specially instructed her not to buy it, and to make it at home.

She didn't know how to tune it, so she had to wait for Aunt Wang to get it. When you mix it up and taste it, the taste is really good, I'm afraid it's not much better than what is sold in the shop.

The seasoning is mixed with the meat cut into strips, and it is waiting to be filled.

The tools used to fill the sausages were still cut by Qi Mo when he was at home some time ago, and he chose the right size of the knots, smoothed them and dried them to use.

And the intestines of this sausage are the small intestines of pigs, and after buying them, they have to tear off the white oil on them, and then scrape the excess meat before they can be used.

First pass the small intestine through the water, and then put a whole small intestine on the bamboo tube, and then tie a thin rope at the end, and then stuff the meat that has been seasoned into the bamboo tube, press down with your thumb until the meat enters the small intestine, and the small intestine will slide down a section along the smooth bamboo tube.

After filling a whole sausage, take out the string cut in advance, tie it into a small section, and when the time comes, you will eat it and break it directly into a small section.

It's just that when I use a rope to tie the sausage, I work hard to strangle the palms along the lines of the knuckles of my fingers, and it hurts to pour it too much and the weather is cold, and the skin is more prone to chapping.

Qi Ruozi would not let Aunt Wang do this, so she hurriedly snatched this job.

It took two hours for the two to finally fill the sausage, marinate the meat non-stop, and then hug the cypress tree to smoke the meat, which made the New Year's cured meat almost finished.

As for what Bai Mingyue said about coming to help after putting the baby to sleep, the two didn't pay attention to it.

Qi Ruo's life in their family is indeed much better than before, but they can't eat meat every day, they eat meat during the day and have no meat at night, but Bai Mingyue is not happy.

She pulled the vegetables for a while, and when she saw that there was no meat, she couldn't help but take back the chopsticks and bite them, and said vaguely: "Is there no meat today?" ”

Qi Ruo and Aunt Wang both stopped their chopsticks and looked at her, she seemed to feel that what she said was wrong, so she lowered her head and grabbed her food and stopped talking.

Early the next morning, the butcher who had agreed earlier to come to buy the pig came.

"Hahaha, auntie, there's no way, it's the New Year, there are more people buying pork, I can't sleep well if I don't buy this pig you raised earlier."

"You're afraid I'll find out you've lied to me."

"Where did the aunt say?"

Qi Ruo was making clothes in the house at this time, and when he heard the conversation outside, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and didn't go out, so he continued the needlework in his hand.

A total of four pieces of clothing have to be made, and she is afraid that she will have to celebrate the New Year before she has time to do it, and she believes that Aunt Wang can handle it, and she can't help when she goes out.

It's just that if Qi Ruo doesn't go out, someone will always rush up to catch up, and it won't be long before she hears Bai Mingyue's voice coming from outside the house.

She frowned slightly, her hand movements still stopped, and it didn't take long to hear the sound of a pig crying, and it was time to negotiate a good price.

It was quiet outside, and Bai Mingyue's loud voice came in again: "Auntie, this pig is really profitable, especially during the Chinese New Year, this pig can be sold for six taels or four dollars of silver, and the pig you raise is really good." ”

Aunt Wang replied angrily: "Then you have to take care of it on weekdays." ”

Qi Ruo really can't take her cousin, but the idea of making a dress for her is still there, if not for anything else, just thinking about her previous good.

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Qi Ruo got up and stretched his waist, and then went outside the house to prepare for cooking.

It's just that she didn't see Bai Mingyue when she came out of the house, but she saw Aunt Wang who had just come back from mowing the grass, she was worried that people had gone out, and she went to the house where she rested to find someone, and the baby was alone.

Qi Ruo is anxious and angry, how can he leave the baby alone in the house?

"Godmother, look at this child, I'll go outside to find her."

Qi Ruo was not afraid of what would happen to Bai Mingyue, what she was most afraid of was that the Song family would see her, and she would really ask for trouble at that time.

It's just that before she got to the pond, she saw that the Song family was pestering Bai Mingyue to say something, Bai Mingyue kept trying to get rid of her, but she couldn't.

Qi Ruo hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Bai Mingyue behind him: "What are you doing here?" This is a guest of my house. ”

"Guest?"

The Song family is so easy to get reasoned with, where can they spare people?

"Isn't this Mingyue, she eloped with someone at the beginning, what's wrong now? And the face back? ”

"She's not a cousin, you recognized the wrong person."

After that, Qi Ruo pulled Bai Mingyue and turned around and left.

"Mistaken person? I'm not old enough to get this faint. Who is this Bai Mingyue? Her father and mother were almost by her! ”

Song's voice is also first-class, and everyone is very idle when the New Year is about to be, and there is a lively scene.
