Xiao Nian? Su Jiu'er opened the curtain, looked at Luo Nian's thin skinny skin, and hurriedly grabbed Luo Nian's hand, her face was very worried, "How did you become like this?" ”

Luo Nian was grabbed by Su Jiu'er's hand, a trace of discomfort flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head to look to the side, pretending to be in tears.

"Look at how much weight you've lost." Su Jiu'er is like a gentle and kind woman, and she feels very sorry for the current Luo Nian.

Su Jiu'er estimated that Luo Nian had worked in An Zeqing's house for so long, and she must have saved a lot of silver, why did she become like this now?

"Sister Jiu'er." Luo Nian's tears slowly slipped down his face, feeling aggrieved and uncomfortable, and looked at Su Jiu'er pitifully, "I'm fine." ”

It's none of my business if you have something. Su Jiu'er thought silently, but she definitely wouldn't say this kind of thing, "Look at you thin, how can you be fine?" ”

Xu is used to pretending to be hypocritical, she raised her hand to carefully wipe away the tears on Luo Nian's face, and said softly, "I haven't seen you for a few days, come in and sit." ”

Gu Feng went to ask Mama Zhu to open the door early in the morning.

Mama Zhu opened the door and exclaimed with a smile, "Master, madam! ”

When Luo Nian saw Mama Zhu, her brows frowned slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her eyes, "Sister Jiu'er, I won't go in, I came here just to buy some food." ”

Su Jiu'er looked at Luo Nian in astonishment, and asked suspiciously, "Where did you live during this time?" ”

"I just came back from the capital with the old lady and my grandfather." Luo Nian remembered the wind and rain along the way, and felt uncomfortable, "The master was dismissed, and I was caught a cold on the way back, so the old lady asked me to come over and buy some food to go back." ”

An Zeqing contracted a wind chill?

Su Jiu'er was worried, and her heart was already happy, thinking that it would be better for An Zeqing to die now, and save more trouble.

"I don't have much food at home." Su Jiu'er opened her mouth to refuse, and shook her head, "Why don't you go to the town and have a look?" ”

The expression on Luo Nian's face was a little embarrassed, he looked at the new cotton clothes on Mama Zhu's body, and then at the patched cotton clothes on his body, his head was buried lower, and his voice was comparable to that of insects and mosquitoes, "Oh, that's bothering, I'll go first." ”

Su Jiu'er didn't keep it, said "goodbye" to Luo Nian and entered the house, helping Gu Feng take out the things in the carriage.

Luo Nian looked at the closed door of the Gu family, her brows were furrowed, she had already heard that the Gu family bought a lot of land last year, and they must have saved a lot of food, how could there be no food to sell, she just deliberately didn't sell it!

Stepping on the branches under his feet, Luo Nian looked at the closed door with resentment.

Bowls and chopsticks, Su Jiu'er changes them once a year, and the old ones are put aside, in case the bowls and chopsticks are not enough, you can take out the old ones again.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, every household has begun to move around.

In the past, Su Jiu'er only sent some things to the Su family, the village chief and Zhou Dadao's house every year, and other families didn't ask at all.

But what made Su Jiu'er feel strange was that many families in the village also began to send them things this year.

The New Year's gifts given by the countrymen to each other are not very valuable, some give half a basket of eggs, and some give a little linen.

Although Su Jiu'er was puzzled, she still smiled and took those things away, and wrote down everything that was sent by whoever sent her afterwards.

Could it be that it's because Gu Feng became an official, so these people want to be close to their family?

The more Su Jiu'er thought about it, the more it made sense, and she was very glad that she bought a pig at the beginning, and when it was time for the New Year, she killed the pig and gave them a gift.

The relationship between people is that you come and go, and together you maintain the relationship between the two parties.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Su Jiu'er looked at her account book full of gifts from the people in the village, and those who ate were piled up together, so that their family could eat for half a month.

Today is the day of killing pigs, the day before Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er discussed the matter of killing pigs, Su Jiu'er originally wanted to ask someone to kill pigs, but Gu Feng refused.

In Gu Feng's eyes, killing pigs is just a trivial matter, he can do this thing well, and there is no need for people who kill pigs to come over and work.

Su Jiu'er wanted to see the pig killed, not for anything, but for the New Year.

Gu Feng was afraid that Su Jiu'er would see the blood, so he directly left Su Jiu'er at home and went to Su's house alone.

Gu Feng wanted to do it himself, but seeing that there were five pigs, he still invited the pig to be killed.

It is the veteran who kills the pig, and the movements are crisp and neat.

It was noon when the two of them finally got the pig right.

Gu Feng took out five catties of meat and gave it to the butcher, the butcher was originally unwilling to ask for it, a few days ago he also followed Gu Feng to dig a reservoir and made a lot of money.

However, the butcher couldn't bear Zhao's persuasion with Su's father, so he just left with the meat.

Five pigs were placed on the board in the yard, Gu Feng began to cut the meat, all of which were divided into five catties and five catties, thinking that in the afternoon he would let Su Jiu'er give all the meat to those people.

The courtyard of the Su family was full of blood, and Father Su and the Zhao family didn't mind, and they helped Gu Feng with the work.

After packing everything up, Gu Feng cleaned up the Su family's yard again, and invited Su's father, Zhao, and Su Mu to go to the Gu family for dinner.

Although it was not too early now, the Zhao family thought that there was still such meat at home to help Gu Feng watch, so he excused himself.

"Mother-in-law, you can eat this untouched meat casually, and the meat that has been weighed will be sent to the people in the village." Gu Feng washed his hands and pointed to the meat on the side and said.

"No, I bought a lot of meat at home!" Zhao is telling the truth, yesterday she went to the butcher's house to buy some pigs into the water, fried some of them, and some of them were not fried.

"Then father-in-law and mother-in-law, I'll go back first." Gu Feng thought that Su Jiu'er might be in a hurry at home, and after speaking, he couldn't wait to walk towards home.

Back home, Gu Feng looked at the food on the table before he moved his chopsticks, and turned his head to look at Su Jiu'er, "Next time I'm late when I come back, you can eat first." ”

"I didn't eat early in the morning, and I'm not very hungry right now." Su Jiu'er looked at Gu Feng with a smile on her face, and asked carefully, "Have you killed the pig?" ”

"The meat is also divided, and I will follow you in the afternoon to send the meat out." Gu Feng felt that it would be better to solve this kind of thing as soon as possible.

Su Jiu'er responded with a smile, and hurriedly asked Mama Zhu to serve soup and start eating.

After lunch, Su Jiu'er wore a new cotton coat and a black cloak outside, and the whole person was wrapped up, which made her feel warm.

Gu Feng turned out the oiled paper at home, and then carried a big basket and followed Su Jiu'er towards Su's house.

Father Su and Zhao had just finished eating, and when they saw Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er coming, they began to help Su Jiu'er wrap meat with oil paper, and put five catties of pork in one oil paper.

"Jiu'er, don't you know, this morning, many people came to see the excitement, and when they saw that we killed five pigs, the saliva of greed flowed out." Zhao couldn't help but tell Su Jiu'er about the killing of pigs in the morning.

"There are no pigs killed in our village this year!" Su Jiu'er looked at the meat on the cutting board, and the smile on her face was even brighter, killing pigs during the New Year, she will definitely have a good year next year.

"It's someone who kills pigs." Zhao thought about the envious expressions of those people in the morning, and worked hard, "But how can someone kill so many pigs at one time?" ”

Su Jiu'er nodded, but felt that it was the same thing.

It is enough for people to carry a small basket for gifts, but when it comes to Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er to give gifts, it is different.

Father Su helped Gu Feng clean up the trolley at home, and put a few basins on top of the trolley, which were filled with pork that had been wrapped.

Gu Feng pushed the trolley, and Su Jiu'er followed Gu Feng with a smile, delivering meat door to door.

Except for the people who had a bad relationship, they didn't send pork, the others sent five catties, and Zhou Dadao's family and the village chief's family sent ten catties.

For the first time, Su Jiu'er felt that gift-giving was also a troublesome matter, and she had been busy all afternoon.

Those people in the village followed Gu Feng to dig a reservoir to make money a few days ago, and now when they saw Gu Feng and them coming to deliver meat, they all smiled from ear to ear.

The Su family still had more than 100 catties of pork left, and Su Jiu'er discussed with Gu Feng to leave 50 catties for the Su family, and take the rest away.

Father Su knew that Su Jiu'er wanted to give them so much meat, so he was reluctant to accept it, "I have money with your mother, so I will buy it if I want to eat it." ”

"Daddy." Su Jiu'er smiled helplessly and said, "There are only three adults in our family, how can you eat so much pork, you can help us eat meat, okay?" ”

When Father Su heard Su Jiu'er say that, he didn't know what to say, the Gu family really didn't have much, and he couldn't eat so much.

"You kid......" Father Su looked at Su Jiu'er with a smile, with kind eyebrows.

"I took a little pig into the water, I want to eat this." Su Jiu'er picked out some pigs to go into the water.

Zhao hurriedly found a clean bamboo basket, spread a layer of oiled paper on it, and squatted down to help Su Jiu'er catch the pig into the water.

"Mother, it's too much, you take out some." Su Jiu'er saw that there were a lot of pigs in the basket that had gone into the water, but Zhao also added pigs into the water, and hurriedly reached out to cover the basket, "These are enough." ”

The fifty catties of meat Father Su helped Gu Feng put it in a cloth bag, and then he used his body to tie the mouth of the bag tightly.

"Dad, mother, let's go back." Su Jiu'er looked at Su's father Zhao with a smile and said happily.

"By the way, I pickled some pickle gnocchi the other day, and you used to eat it the most." Zhao said, quickly ran into the kitchen, and when he came out again, he held a large bowl in his hand, and two large balls of pickle gnocchi were placed in the bowl.

"Thank you, mother, I've always wanted to eat this." Su Jiu'er said happily.

In the past, the Su family had no money, and the Zhao family didn't have time to toss these, so they pickled cabbage directly, and later she married Gu Feng, and she also tried to pickle pickled cabbage gnocchi, but every time she made it, it was unpalatable, and she didn't bother to toss these later.

Every time I came to Su's house, when I came, Su Jiu'er thought that she must pickle a few pickle gnocchi, but she forgot it every time.

"Aunt Zhao." Luo Nianjiao's voice sounded from the door.

Su Jiu'er turned her head and saw Luo Nianli standing at the gate of the Su family with rain, pinching a handkerchief and wiping the tears on her face.
