Zhou Jiao didn't say anything to hit others, and followed the strength of Qingshan's daughter-in-law, and followed a few cousins-in-law to the middle of the village and Zhang Tiezhu's house.

Before they could get closer, the courtyard surrounded by bamboo fences was full of people of all ages in the village, making a noise and a lively atmosphere.

"I can't help it. Lao Han in the next village had already made an appointment with me to borrow half of his meat, and at the end of the year, his family would kill the pig and return it to me. Everyone, I'm sorry to come over tomorrow for a drink. ”

Zhou Jiao glanced at Zhang Tiezhu, who was talking, about the same age as her father-in-law. With a smile on his face, he apologized to everyone. It's a homemaker!

"That's what you said, how much wine will you prepare tomorrow?"

The people present listened and heckled.

Seeing this, Zhang Tiezhu replied with a smile: "Not much, not much, how about we use water as wine?" ”

The people present also understood these polite words, and they all laughed and joked.

Qingfeng's daughter-in-law looked at the pig on the door panel in disappointment, "It's okay to have a half-catty." ”

Zhou Jiao knew that there was no play, so she pulled a few of them and planned to leave.

"Look again, isn't there still half a pig? Uncle Zhuzi's family can't use so much. ”

Ouch, this is an immortal heart.

Zhou Jiao smiled and stopped her steps to lift her feet, and stood quietly in place, looking at the people around her.

"Auntie, give me some meat."

Hearing this, Aunt Tie Zhu looked at her wife with blank eyes. If she wants her to say, the old man should not have promised the old man in the neighboring village in the first place. Pigs at the end of the year? Can that be the same? Can there be a shortage of pigs in the team?

The people around this are all from the family, and everyone helps them when they have something, and they don't have cheap people with foreign surnames. If it weren't for the young man who would have saved his wife, she would have wanted to slap the table at that time!

In addition to a few people sincerely wanting to buy some meat for the family, the onlookers gradually began to disperse.

"Second aunt, tomorrow is the day, if you have anything to help, you shout. Lip change fee package, right? Where did the groom go? Why didn't you see him? ”

"The child went to pick up his grandmother. Ming'er, come over early...... "This son has completed the happy event, and his wife can be regarded as a big thing."

An aunt on the side smoked dry cigarettes, listened to the smoke from her nose, and asked mysteriously: "What kind of dowry does the new daughter-in-law have?" ”

Speaking of dowry, Aunt Tie Zhu has been in a panic these days. In the past two days, I was trying to chat with someone, but when she saw the other daughters-in-law who were busy, she smiled and shook her head, "I didn't ask, I heard that the in-laws let the child bring back the bride price money." The two children can do as they like, and there is nothing to dowry. ”

The old ladies who are familiar with each other's temperament estimate in their hearts that the dowry of the new daughter-in-law must not be bad, otherwise Aunt Tiezhu would not be so happy.

"Old girl, this old man is done, it's time to split up, right?"

Aunt Tie Zhu took a sip, "What nonsense, this person hasn't entered the door yet." ”

"Okay, I don't have to think about the separation yet, so I have to wait a few years to talk about it." A lady next to her held a big thick bowl, drank a mouthful of polenta, and said something to stop her.

It's so eye-catching! I didn't look at the daughters-in-law of the Tiezhu family, looking forward to the separation.

"This time I have a new daughter-in-law, and I don't have any family background at home, and I can't build a yard for the children when I divide the family, and the child's father said that he will talk about the separation after a few years."

Zhang Tiezhu watched his eldest son cut meat on the side, and he was so angry when he heard it. This stupid is a tiger, and everything is poured out. He hurriedly beckoned: "Child, you can clean up the rest." ”

As soon as Aunt Tiezhu saw that his wife's words fell, the old sister glanced at herself, silently calculating how much she should give up before she could put the wedding wine.

"The head of the house, is the old man less meat? There is no big joy in his family, twenty or thirty catties of meat is enough. Do you see so much? ”

Zhang Tiezhu's face stiffened when he heard this. This stupid! I discussed it with my brother and sent it to his daughter in the city, which was two yuan a catty! Otherwise, why would you rather raise pigs through the belly? is planning to take advantage of the gap of the old son's marriage to sell at a high price.

"That's it, what the eldest sister said is reasonable! In my opinion, what do you want so much? After an aunt finished speaking, seeing that there was silence around, she quickly slapped her mouth and laughed: "Look at my mouth!" ”

The people in the village were kind, and everyone immediately changed the topic as if they didn't hear it. This can't be spread, otherwise the old man won't have to make trouble.

Why do people call that old guy an old man?

That's the son, he doesn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one. Since you have opened your mouth to ruin his reputation, he must not bring his son over and fight hard!

Who dares to sell it privately nowadays?

The old ladies in the city with red armbands of security wander around, and when they see strangers, they look at them like enemies, and they will target them at the slightest sign that something is wrong.

And if this is a black-hearted and mouthy report, it will have to cost the old man an old life! Even if the old man goes to the village, everyone can't be biased!

Others can pretend to be deaf and dumb, but Zhang Tiezhu can't!

Isn't this a pit old brother? He was not treated by his wife since he was a child, and when something happened, several of his brothers ran away. Who can be like the old man? treats himself more honest than his own brothers, and even the piglets are brought by him.

"Master, what do you think?"

Zhang Tiezhu said with a smile: "Don't touch the old man!" This meat was asked for for his brother-in-law. His eldest nephew made great contributions in the army, and the county beat gongs and drums to report the good news at home, waiting for the meat to arrive as soon as they were treated. ”

"Oh, I forgot about it if you didn't say it. The old Liu family is about to find a granddaughter-in-law for this grandson. If you have a suitable girl, you can try your luck, and you can eat fine grains when you become it. This is a good family! ”

The person who said this was an old lady in the village, who was also a well-known matchmaker in the neighborhood. Enthusiastic, able to speak kindly, and be honest in deeds. As a matchmaker, he has never acted with a conscience with benefits, and has always told the truth. is such a matchmaker who people love and hate, and everyone is really willing to ask her to come forward to propose.

Nine times out of ten, the young man and the big girl in Zhangjiacun are her matchmakers, and even the people who have negotiated between the two sides are willing to pull her as a matchmaker.

For example, the marriage of Zhang Guoqing's three brothers was all made by this Aunt Zhang.

For Aunt Zhang, not to mention the natives of the village, even Zhou Jiao believes that her source is true and credible. You must know that this is her mother-in-law's best friend!

No, this will make all the girls of school age in the family tempted, and ask about the situation of the Liu family boy word by word. Like how old is this year? Is the young man good enough? How much is paid each month......

Who else cares about pork at the moment? I don't have a school-age girl at home, but don't I still have a mother's family? The old ones are worried about their granddaughters, and the young ones like Qingshan's daughters-in-law are worried about their nieces.

It's not easy for everyone to talk openly in front of so many people, if this doesn't work, it will lose reputation. So when you say a word, I ask vaguely.

Aunt Zhang has been a matchmaker for so many years, how can she not know the Tao here? Therefore, he didn't wait for them to ask more, and found out all the information he was familiar with.

Seeing this, Zhang Tiezhu smiled with satisfaction. With this explosive news, he didn't believe that anyone else remembered what had just happened. In order to let these old ladies talk nonsense, he finally gave up ten catties of meat.

Don't look at the ten catties of meat, there are meat tickets in the city that cost more than eight cents and one catty. In addition to not being detained and beaten in the village, everyone usually only charges a pound for a piece of friendship price, and has to generously give more fatty pork belly, which can be regarded as distressing Zhang Tiezhu, an old man!

Don't look at these old ladies and little daughters-in-law shouting for Aunt Tiezhu. But when you really see the real chapter, you can buy about half a catty for shaking and shaking, and you have to separate several meals to let the family relieve their hunger.

There are no distinguished customers to come to the door, and it is not a big New Year, so no one is willing to buy more. Even if you are willing to grit your teeth and make a move, it will be rumored that someone has a loser, and many families have a dividend of about 20 yuan a year.

Imagine such a mother-in-law who dares to come to a few catties of a pound of meat, who can afford it? is more serious, and even in the future, her children will be disgusted when they find a partner, and there is a greedy elder. I am afraid that my daughter will marry a bright face, and marry a daughter-in-law with her family members.

Zhou Jiao just understood this, so she didn't plan to buy meat, so she came over to have a good time. Therefore, when Tiezhu's daughter-in-law cut a whole pound of fat and tied straw to the good pork belly, and handed it directly to herself, it was tantamount to a timed bullet, which shocked her eyebrows.

Could it be that she wants to take over her mother's mantle and become a loser's daughter-in-law?

Looking at the smiling aunt in front of her, who had been hanging straw ropes on her fingers, Zhou Jiao could only accept it silently, took out a dollar and handed it to her.

Tiezhu's daughter-in-law slapped away her outstretched right hand, pretending to be angry: "Look down on your aunt, right?" If I take your money, then I'm still a person? ”

Zhou Jiao hurriedly said at a loss: "Auntie, don't say that." How much effort does it take to raise such a pig? If your vegetable garden grows, I can be cheeky enough to accept it. ”

As he spoke, he shoved the money into the other person's pocket. Ouch, these are all patches, will the push plug tear the clothes back and forth? Zhou Jiao looked at the other party, she was about to cry, she knew that there was some excitement to watch!

"Don't push! How many dozen small wild animals did we eat in our village? If it weren't for the old food stamps that the two of you gave to the canteen in the first two years, would our old Zhang family still be alive? You're slapping the big lady in the face! ”

"That's right, Xiao Wu's family, take it back! Don't be polite to your Aunt Tiezhu! If it weren't for the fact that we hadn't eased up, we would have to treat you two to a meal. ”

"Yes, it's all a loss to these two children! If it weren't for the small five Zhang Luo Village Health Center, I don't know how many people would have left in the past few years. Thanks to the brown sugar, I didn't lose my grandchildren. ”

"Alas...... Not to mention the first two years, I was very panicked. Take it, kid. It's not that the eldest lady is polite to you, your brother's marriage ticket is all the strength of Xiao Wu. If I take your money, I still have the face to live in this village? ”

Seeing that this stingy and famous old lady resolutely refused, Zhou Jiao put away the money and said happily: "Since the eldest lady said so, then I am not welcome." ”

"That's it! This is refreshing! Bring the child over early tomorrow, and the eldest mother will leave you meatballs! ”

Zhou Jiao nodded again and again with a smile, but the weight of a pound of pork belly in her hand made her a little breathless. For Aunt Tiezhu, who even shed tears and cried for the waste of pig blood, what kind of love is this?

For the people in the village, she and her husband have paid so much, and they have always sought peace of mind, and they never wanted to get anything in return. But the reward is in front of you in the blink of an eye......

Who said that the old peasants who could not read big words were inferior to intellectuals?
