Chapter 101: Equivalent Gifts
Zhang Guoqing carried the pheasants and hares in the bamboo basket back to the well, plucked the feathers with hot water to remove the internal organs, left four chickens to put down, and the other fast hands and feet were strung up with ropes, hung under the eaves of the west wing, and put the wild eggs in the small living room.
He planned to have one of these pheasants a day and stew them directly on the stove for Zhou Jiao to eat. The hare is hung in the hand, giving Jiaojiao a change of taste.
He took four chickens out of the meeting, brought back four big mud balls, and put them into the two stoves, just at home at night two pots to marinate pig's head, pig's tail, pig's trotters and pig's elbow, and so on to marinate the pig's head, almost called the flower chicken.
Fortunately, Zhang's mother was not here, otherwise he would have to blame him for wasting. Kiko followed him all the time, watching his uncle roast the chicken in the fire, and waited in the stove.
Zhang Guoqing took the clothes, took a shower, and went back to his bedroom. Seeing Zhou Jiao and his mother-in-law, he smiled and said, "Mom, I will take my son to sleep in the outhouse at night, and you will take your daughter to sleep here, and have a good chat." ”
Zhou Jiao laughed, "Okay, Mom will accompany me." It happened to be safe to drink milk powder in the early morning, so that he secretly baby his son. ”
"Jiaojiao, when you are out of confinement, I will take you to play in the forest, there are many medicinal herbs I don't know, and I can still find a lot of mushrooms. You don't know those pheasants and hares, I threw them with stones casually, and there are a lot of wild eggs, and I also brought some for you to make up, too many are afraid of breaking and not easy to bring. The further you go in, the more rabbits there are, and some silly spores. Deer footprints can also be seen next to the creek. This is still not deep in the mountains. ”
Zhang Guoqing talked about what he had seen and heard in the mountains with great interest, and while talking about the experience of hunting wild boars, the two mothers and daughters listened to it with relish, and from time to time they exclaimed and yearned.
Zhou Jiao said regretfully: "If I hadn't been confined, it would have been good to follow you." ”
After sighing, he remembered the package he brought back, "Brother, where are the packages and bags you brought back?" I think it's all good fur and good wine. ”
Zhang Guoqing patted his head, happily found the largest package skin, and took it out one by one.
"I came back to see you, and I forgot about it. When I came back from the county seat, I came back directly by detour, looking for someone to find these things, and I wasted a lot of saliva.
These two wolf furs are specially given to grandpa and grandma, I see that grandpa often touches his knees now, and sleeps with wolf fur to ward off the cold in winter. I went to look for it this time. In the surrounding villages, only Grandpa Wang has such a big show, and I grabbed it.
I have long remembered that he beat the wolf king, and when I was a child, I often went to his house with my grandfather, knowing that he had good kung fu and a lot of private secrets, so I came to the door this time. I first said that my son was born, and he gave me two wolf teeth, saying that he would ward off evil spirits. Then he pestered him with a dead face, and then squeezed toothpaste and snatched me the two biggest wolf skins. The wine was tiger bone wine, and he was not afraid of breaking it in this pot.
Mom, he still has a tiger skin at home and said he wouldn't give anything, I think it's his plan to pass it on, forget it, it's a pity. After saying that, Zhang Guoqing regretted thinking about it, he really liked the tiger skin, and Jiaojiao must have cried and shouted when he saw it.
"The rest was bought from someone else, and these few furs were for my mother. These two ginseng sticks are the biggest, and my mother will give them to you, and you can look at them yourself. We have one of our own. A few years ago, there was a big hunt in the village, and then I would go to the mountains, and I could encounter it if I was lucky. Zhang Guoqing saw that his mother-in-law refused, and hurriedly persuaded.
Lin Lishan looked at the two ginsengs that were at least more than a hundred years old, and they must have spent a lot of money, "If you have it, then my mother will accept it." But Xiao Wu, if it is dangerous to go to the mountains, you must not go. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You still have a son, and our family is not short of money, so there is no need to work so hard. Remember? Seeing you nod your head, I'll take you as an answer. But, Little Five, how much did you spend on these two? It's expensive. This is a century-old ginseng, and it is difficult to find it on the market. ”
Zhang Guoqing smiled and compared his fingers to the two, "Two are 600 yuan, one said 300 yuan, and then I gave 300 yuan directly, and I went to the city for at least 500 yuan." Cheap, right? I don't buy it when it's expensive, and we all hunt together and know each other, but there are so many that he can't say it. ”
Lin Lishan nodded, "I don't know anyone at this price, so I will never be able to get it." You don't have much money on you, do you? I happen to be leaving tomorrow, and I will give you all the bills and the rest of the money, so you can use them with confidence. When my mother comes back, I will bring the money to buy the yard of the county seat, and we will go to see the house when the time comes. The money around us is used first, we are not short of money, and we can use it with confidence. ”
She took out the loose bills, overseas Chinese remittance coupons and loose money in her bag, counted more than 300 yuan, took out 300 overseas Chinese remittance coupons and loose bills and put them all in the drawer, and kept some change for herself.
Zhang Guoqing hurriedly took out the money and loose tickets, "Mom, we still have the money, don't worry." Why are you pushing back and forth like this, you only have me and Jiaojiao, we won't be polite to you. Listen to me first, you have a general ticket with you that can be used on the train or in the capital, and you can't reach out to your grandma as soon as you get home. This time, I will bring it back first, and the tickets for the provincial city will be left to me, and we really don't lack money. After speaking, he hurriedly asked Zhou Jiao for help.
Zhou Jiao couldn't help laughing: "Mom, you bring the money back, didn't you say that you wanted to buy a cashmere coat for me." I have money in my hand, and I have enough to spend now, and when you come back, I will buy a yard in my county seat. ”
Lin Lishan thought about it and nodded, separated the bills, and kept enough for her own expenses on the train. Everything else is in a drawer. She is just such a daughter and son-in-law, so you don't have to be polite.
"These bills are enough for me for three days, and they are useless when I go back, and I will keep them for you to eat, live in the cafeteria, and at home. If you have any money, use it first, and when your dad comes back, you'll have it. ”
"I know, don't worry, there's really no money, I won't let you give me money. That is, you will come back in a few days, in case you can't ask for leave, you will wait for me to go to the capital to find you, the address and phone number are available, don't make a mistake, and follow Dad if you don't approve it. Zhou Jiao looked at her uneasy, really helpless.
Lin Lishan touched the top of her head and said happily: "I won't be unable to ask for leave, even if I go abroad, I have a way to find an excuse to ask your aunt to issue a sick leave bill when the time comes." Besides, you're going to give birth, but the top has approved my vacation. If it weren't for the fear that your grandfather would brag in the compound when he returned to Beijing, I could have said that you haven't given birth yet, so you still have to give birth. ”
Zhang Guoqing looked at it, he didn't have anything to do, left them in the house, and went out to find her mother with the wrapping skin, now the wrapping skin is a good thing, and he has to use it to pack wild boar.
