Chapter 13 A meal of braised pork
After cutting the meat, Zhu Hongyu thanked her and returned home with the meat, and there were many people she met along the way, including many acquaintances from the Ma family and the Liu family.
Liu is Zhu Hongyu's grandmother, and she has two sons. The eldest son Zhu Jinchan, the second son Zhu Yinchan, and a daughter, married out a few years ago, and the Ma family received a lot of dowries.
Zhu Jincian is honest and honest, Liu is quite fond of it, Zhu Yinchan is Zhu Hongyu's father, and he has not been loved by Liu since he was a child.
Later, Zhu Jinchan went to Ma Ru in Xinghua Village next door to be his daughter-in-law, and this Ma family also took a fancy to Liu's family. Therefore, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the family is not bad.
On this day, when Zhu Hongyu came home with meat, Liu was having dinner with his eldest son. Ma cooked the meal, and the three of them gathered at the table to eat.
Ma said: "Mother, when I was working in the field today, I heard that the little cheap hoof of the Zhu family did not starve to death, and he could still eat meat." ”
"Eat meat?" Liu's eyes widened like cow's eyes, "How does she make money?" ”
Seeing that his mother-in-law was interested, Ma quickly added oil and vinegar and began to gossip.
"I heard that she went to the Taoist priest in Sanguan Temple at night, and when she came out during the day, the Taoist priest gave her a bag of rice and eggs!"
Zhu Jincian was anxious, and hurriedly scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, that Taoist priest is a monk." How could Zhu Hongyu do such a thing? ”
"The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, you see her mother is like that, their chimney smokes every day. Can there be fake? ”
Zhu Jincian is a clumsy tongue, and he didn't know how to refute Ma's arguments all of a sudden, so he just ate with his head bored.
Liu Shi listened, felt comfortable, and said: "Hmph, I have long known that her mother is not a good thing, giving birth to such a little cheap hoof." ”
"Mother-in-law, although we separated earlier. But their family's surname is Zhu after all, so they can't go on like this. ”
"Yes, these days to find some evidence, to find Zhao Lizheng in the village to come out. This thing was disposed of earlier. ”
Zhu Jincian listened to it next to him, and his heart was depressed.
After the family finished eating, Zhu Jincian excused himself to go out for a walk, and came to Zhu Hongyu's house. Zhu Hongyu went home to cook late, and this was done. He looked through the crack in the door and saw a pot of braised pork on the table in the room, which was enough for a catty.
There was also a piece of fatty pork hanging on the stove, which looked like it was going to be eaten tomorrow.
A few stir-fried side dishes next to it are refreshing and refreshing, where can ordinary people afford to eat these things?
The three Zhu Hongyu sisters and brothers had just sat down and were about to eat.
Zhu Jincian couldn't hold back anymore and broke in directly.
"Dirty thing, that's how your father and your mother taught you?"
Zhu Hongyu was startled by the person who broke into the door, and looked at it when she saw that it was Zhu Jinciao. She should also call Uncle.
This uncle is not bad to their family in her memory, but he is a very mother-in-law man, he has no opinions, but he has a good heart, and he often helps their family. Later, when her father and mother died, he came to take care of it.
"Uncle, have you eaten? Didn't eat and sat down to eat together. ”
Zhu Jincian reappeared and directly overturned the wooden table, but Zhu Hongyu was quick and served the braised pork. The rest of the chopsticks shattered to the ground.
"What are you doing!" Zhu Hongyu scolded.
Zhu Jinchan, who was furious, was also startled by Zhu Hongyu's roar.
"What am I doing, I am your uncle, who made you ...... You ......"
Zhu Jincian pointed at Zhu Hongyu, so angry that he couldn't speak, but Zhu Hongyu felt that it was really a disaster.
A few days ago, it was his mother and his daughter-in-law who made trouble, and today it is coming again? What kind of sin did this vermilion jade create in her last life, and she met such a superb relative.
"What's wrong with me?"
Zhu Hongyu handed the braised pork to Amber and motioned for her to take it away, and Amber and Zhan Ao entered the inner room together, she knew that this quarrel was inevitable today.
Zhu Jinchan didn't expect that Zhu Hongyu would be so tough, in the past, she would only hide behind her parents and make promises, no wonder she has the courage now.
"You...... What do you need me to say? ”
"Say, today you tell me clearly, what did I do that was unseemly? Still come to my house to lift the table? ”
When Zhu Hongyu questioned like this, Zhu Jincian was a little cowardly.
To be honest, he just heard it and had no evidence, but it was true that their family was eating well.
"I'm not suspicious of you, but your parents are dead, so you can eat so well?"
"I went to the mountains to pick Artemisia annua and sell it to doctors, which is also wrong?"
Zhu Jincian was speechless all of a sudden.
Artemisia annua is a thing that everyone in the countryside knows, but now no one dares to enter the mountain, and there is only one doctor in this village, that is, the Taoist priest of Sanguan Temple. So there was a reason why she went to that Taoist priest.
"You, you...... Is this true? ”
"You go to Sanguan Temple and ask, where does the Taoist priest sit for a clinic every day, where does he have the time to collect medicine? Where did the medicine for the sick in this village come from? ”
Only then did Zhu Jinchan realize that he had made a mistake, and quickly helped the table up, but he couldn't put away the broken bowls on the ground.
"I ...... How do I know, isn't this what the village says? ”
"Heh, I don't see that the people in the village said that the Liu family of your family and the old immortal Liu family can't arrange any ridiculous lies?"
Zhu Jincian also lost her temper all of a sudden, this girl is too powerful now, even if she is a lawyer in the county government, she is not as clever as her.
"Nizi, today I said the wrong thing and thought the wrong thing."
As he spoke, Zhu Jincian took out a few pieces of broken silver stuffed in his purse and put them on the table.
"Today's matter, Uncle will accompany you. Pack up and eat quickly, and if you need to, just talk to Uncle. ”
When Zhu Hongyu saw the money, her anger disappeared.
That's it, his uncle is the most brainless and the easiest to be transferred, and now this brainless person can still admit his mistakes, and what else does she say if she loses money.
"Uncle, our family is poor, but not poor and spineless. We are just getting the money, and we won't let my father and mother be embarrassed under Jiuquan. You go back today as if nothing happened. There's something to worry about you in the future. ”
When Zhu Jinchan heard this, he felt that this was also the best solution.
This little girl's words are reasonable and convincing, and if she marries a good son in the future, it will be immeasurable.
"Then I'll go, you pay attention to yourself. A girl's reputation is important. ”
Zhu Jincian turned around and left, and Zhu Hongyu put away the scattered silver taels that Zhu Jincian gave her.
When she encountered this kind of unwarranted disaster, she was almost angry, but thinking about the younger brothers and sisters behind her who were now encountering happy events, she must not let them be afraid.
"Hey, what a false alarm. Come on, come on, let's start again. ”
Amber and Zhan Ao slowed down, and waited for Zhu Jincian to go away before settling down.
"I'm scared to death." Amber frowned, "Our family didn't mess with him. ”
Zhan Ao watched Zhu Hongyu beat the drum in his heart.
"Sister, what did the uncle mean just now?"
"Hey, there are so many people in this village, no matter how ridiculous the message can be spread."
Zhan Ao let out a "hmm", but was a little skeptical.
However, the three of them quickly cleaned up the broken porcelain, boiled a pot of porridge with leftover rice, and started to eat again.
"Today, my sister gave up her blood and made this meal with something to say."
Zhu Hongyu looked at Zhan Ao, and looked at this child a little hairy.
"Zhanao."
Zhu Zhanao quickly stood up.
"Tomorrow, you can take the recommendation letter and go to Squire Wang's school to study."
"Really?" Zhan Ao really couldn't believe that he had heard a good news.
"The path is your own choice, and my sister fully supports you. I hope you will ...... in the future Pillars of the country. ”
Zhu Zhanao listened to Zhu Hongyu's lecture and sat down.
It is needless to say that happiness is to know that today's sumptuous meal is to congratulate him.
"And, Amber. Study hard at the Taoist master's side. If you are not a good person, you are a good doctor, and you have the ability to eat. ”
Amber smiled and said, "Thank you, sister, I will." ”
"Today I have made a rule, I have made your wish, and in the future, I will be in charge of all the affairs of the family. Zhan Ao, you are the eldest brother and you can't talk too much, is it okay? ”
Zhan Ao thought about it for a while, but felt that the eldest sister in the family was working hard now, so he nodded in agreement.
"It's all up to my sister."
During this meal, Zhu Hongyu did not let her younger brothers and sisters go, one was to appease her frightened heart, and the other was that she knew that the road ahead would be more difficult.
At night, Zhu Hongyu lay in bed all night without sleeping.
Amber, who was in the same bed with her, also woke up a few times and was busy holding Zhu Hongyu's hand.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? It's not going to be a miasma, is it? ”
"Not? I felt so sick in my stomach that I wanted to throw up. ”
Zhu Hongyu thought about it, she ate with her younger siblings, but neither of her younger siblings responded, it shouldn't be food poisoning.
But how could she be so uncomfortable?
"Sister, you don't eat much on weekdays, but today you eat so much ...... at once"
At this, Amber burst out laughing.
Zhu Hongyu also patted her head and breathed a sigh of relief.
I'm scared to death, in this era, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, and I am really afraid of getting sick.
It should have eaten too much, she saw the braised pork as if she was dying, and the three of them ate like a war, gathering together to rob wildly.
In the end, the soup of the braised pork was scraped clean, and today's plate does not need to be washed, it is almost reflective.
It's still too hard, and she needs to be richer to make this family one of the largest families in the village.
After lying down for a while, Zhu Hongyu still didn't fall asleep, and the sky outside was already dark.
She cleared her throat and nudged her sister beside her.
"It's already dawning, and I just listened to the watchman playing the fifth watch. It's time for us to get up. ”
Amber nodded excitedly and jumped out of bed.
Zhu Hongyu knew that Amber really liked to be a doctor, so she was so happy, so she got out of bed with Amber and lit the lamp with a flint and steel.
"You sit down, I'll comb your hair."
"Okay, okay."
Amber happily sat on the stool, and Vermilion was so familiar with braiding Amber.
When she left her hometown to study at university, her mother did the same to dress her up, but unfortunately, everything is now a flash in the pan.
"This practice of medicine is no better than other professions, and the next time it will kill people. If you come to Runye's side, you should have worked hard for three years. In these three years, you will learn to read, distinguish medicines, collect medicines, and grasp prescriptions. And then step by step. It's been a long and painful ......."
"Sister, I know, don't nag up, let's go."
