Chapter 113: Send the meat
Tang Xiaosu also felt that Liu's worry was not impossible, with Mrs. Tang's temperament, she couldn't see that others were better than her, let alone the four rooms that had been separated and given up by them.
Therefore, Mrs. Tang will definitely find all kinds of reasons to search for their four rooms again, so this must also be prevented.
After thinking about it, Tang Xiaosu thought of a not very good solution: "Mother, or we will eat all the rest except for the part of the fat that we want to give milk, so that the milk will not be found if we come to find it again." ”
After listening to Tang Xiaosu's words, Liu immediately shook his head: "No, we bought some lean meat, even if we eat it, all of a sudden, we can't eat so much fat and lean meat together." ”
Tang Xiaosu covered her head with a headache, and she regretted it a little at the moment: "Alas, if I knew earlier, I wouldn't have bought so much meat, and it's very annoying now." ”
Liu suddenly thought of Li Zheng and Wu Village Doctor, who helped their family, as well as a few villagers who came to help their family build an earthen stove yesterday.
Thinking of this, the Liu family suggested to Tang Xiaosu: "Xiao Su, Yi Niang said, or we will cut the lean meat that has not yet been cut, and then divide it into several parts, and send one to your Grandpa Wu and Grandpa Li Zheng, so many days, they have helped us a lot, and the three villagers who came to help us build the earthen stove yesterday, we can't let the family sue us for work!" If we don't have any money, let's take some meat and thank them. ”
Tang Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Liu with sparkling eyes: "Mother, your method is really good, alas, we will divide those lean meats into six parts, one for my grandmother, one for Grandpa Lizheng, and one for Grandpa Wu, and the remaining three parts will be given to those uncles and uncles who came to help us build an earthen stove yesterday, so that our fat meat doesn't have to be sent to the milk, and the milk can't find an excuse to say about us, even if the milk wants to find fault, the matter of us sending meat to her has been spread. In this way, even if there is a trouble, we are justified. ”
Although Liu is a little reluctant, according to the current situation, he can only do what Tang Xiaosu said.
Just do it, and immediately, Liu divided the few catties of lean meat he bought back into six portions.
According to what was said before, one was given to Shangfang, where is Old Man Tang, one was given to Lizheng, another was given to Wu Village Doctor, and the other three were given to the person who came to build a stove for them yesterday.
Tang Xiaosu handed over the work of oil refining to Liu, a skilled hand, and San Lang also handed over the fire to Shilang.
The first one to be sent was of course the closest upper room to them, so Tang Xiaosu followed behind San Lang step by step, and San Lang took the lead in walking into the upper room with the divided lean meat.
As soon as San Lang entered the door, he said: "Grandpa, grandma, this is a little meat that we bought at the market yesterday, there is not much meat, it is going to be given to the villagers who came to help us build an earthen stove yesterday, we didn't pay people, but we can't let people do it for us, so we bought this bit of meat and gave it to them, which is more or less a heart." ”
Mrs. Tang, who heard San Lang's words, lifted her eyelids twice, didn't say anything, and didn't give Tang Xiaosu and San Lang a good look, so she stood up and carried the lean meat to the kitchen.
Old Man Tang, who saw Mrs. Tang like this, coughed twice: "San Lang, go ahead, there is no reason to let people do things for us in vain, you have learned this very well." Old Man Tang said, quite relieved.
Tang Xiaosu didn't want to have more trouble with Old Man Tang, and he didn't want to see Old Mrs. Tang's unhappy look as if everyone owed her 1.8 million, so Tang Xiaosu took the initiative to say, "Master, do you have anything else?" If there is nothing to do, my eldest brother and I will go to another house to deliver meat, after all, it is almost lunch, and it is late, I am afraid that some people have eaten it. ”
"Xiao Su, don't blame your grandmother, your grandmother is all made by poverty, your father and I sometimes do things really unfairly, so that your family is wronged, in the future, after your uncle wins the champion, I can compensate your family, and I will definitely try my best to compensate you." Compared with Mrs. Tang, Old Man Tang is still more conscientious, and he also feels that he has gone too far in recent years, so he said to Tang Xiaosu and San Lang.
"Master, we all know it, let's talk about it later." Obviously, Tang Xiaosu didn't intend to accept Old Man Tang's love.
Old Man Tang's kindness was ignored by Tang Xiaosu like this, and he was also a little unhappy, and he also pulled his face down at the moment: "Since there is nothing to do, you two can go." ”
When San Lang wanted to say something goodbye, he was unceremoniously pulled away by Tang Xiaosu.
After leaving the Tang family and going to the room, San Lang whispered to Tang Xiaosu: "Xiao Su, you just didn't give face to your grandfather, your grandfather was angry, didn't you see it?" ”
Tang Xiaosu seemed to really don't know, and said in surprise: "Ye is angry? I really don't see how a person of such an age can be angry with a junior like us? ”
Tang Xiaosu's words were very loud, big enough for Mrs. Tang in the kitchen to hear, and equally big for Old Man Tang in the upper room to hear.
In fact, Tang Xiaosu's words were specially said to Old Man Tang, just to tell him: "You are a person who has lived for most of your life, and you only care about me, a little girl who is a few years old, don't you feel that you can't hang it on your face?" ”
Perhaps the old man Tang understood the meaning of Tang Xiaosu's words, and when the old lady Tang returned to the upper room, he saw that the old man Tang was trembling with anger, his fingers kept pointing outside, and he kept scolding: "Rebel, rebel, unfilial descendants, unfilial descendants." ”
The angry Mrs. Tang couldn't wait to chase them out immediately, and she was holding Tang Xiaosu and San Lang, scolding each of them, and avenging Old Man Tang.
The second household wants to send is, of course, the Lizheng family, which everyone in Peach Blossom Village respects the most.
San Lang was a little worried about the work at home, so he thought about walking faster with Tang Xiaosu, so that he could go home to help after delivering the things.
But Tang Xiaosu pulled San Lang and walked on the road unhurriedly, as if he was deliberately attracting someone.
Sure enough, when there was still a long way to go, I saw those who were eating, eating at the door of their homes.
When the man saw Tang Xiaosu and his brother and sister passing by the door of his house, he casually asked, "Xiao Su, San Lang, have you eaten?" It's noon, and every family is eating, where are you two going? ”
Saburo wouldn't lie, so he said honestly, "Let's send something to Grandpa Lizheng's house." ”
The woman asked curiously, "It's almost time to eat, what are you going to deliver?" As he spoke, he was about to lift the small basket in Saburo's hand and look inside.
It's a pity that the basket in Saburo's hand is covered tightly, and he can't see anything.
And when your woman came over, Saburo also avoided the woman's hand intentionally or unintentionally, so the woman didn't see anything.
However, Tang Xiaosu said to the woman with an innocent face: "Auntie, what we sent to Grandpa Lizheng is meat." As he spoke, Tang Xiaosu opened the corner of the basket so that the woman could see it clearly.
"So much meat, are you giving it to the Li Zheng family? How did your family suddenly become so rich? The lady said in a sour tone.
Tang Xiaosu blinked, looking very ignorant and innocent: "Auntie, what are you talking about?" This is not all given to Grandpa Lizheng's family, as well as the three uncles' families who built a stove for our family yesterday, and Grandpa Wu's family, Grandpa Wu and Grandpa Lizheng often help our family these days, so my mother let us take away her hairpin, yesterday we bought these meats back, but it was too late to come back last night, and this morning Brother Wuyi suddenly had a headache, so this matter of sending meat, isn't this delayed until now. ”
Tang Xiaosu said in the end, his tone was a little reluctant, and even the eyes glanced at the flesh from time to time.
"Your mother let you be her last two pieces of jewelry, which are your mother's dowry, isn't it that your mother has no dowry." As soon as the woman heard Tang Xiaosu say that she was the dowry of the Liu family, she was a little embarrassed.
"No way, if it weren't for my mother's jewelry, our family wouldn't be able to afford pots and pans, let alone these meats, and my mother and Brother Wuyi were sick, they all needed to take medicine, these all needed money, our family had no money, my mother couldn't watch us starve to death one by one!" Tang Xiaosu said very seriously, but it did not arouse any suspicion at all, but made the woman feel a little more sympathetic to Tang Xiaosu's family.
"Your family bought so much meat at once, didn't your mother leave a little for you? Your mother won't let you send them all the meat of your family, haven't you tasted it at all? "That woman is really thinking about Tang Xiaosu and them now.
Tang Xiaosu smiled shyly, and said innocently: "No, auntie, we have a lot of meat left in our house, but my mother said that after she refines the oil, we can eat meat, and it is better than giving Grandpa Lizheng their meat, my mother said, that seems to be called, what is it called." ”
After Tang Xiaosu finished speaking, he only felt very happy, as if he could eat meat, which was the happiest thing.
When the woman listened to Tang Xiaosu's words, she only felt even more distressed, and at the same time, she was also ashamed of the little jealousy she had just had.
