Chapter 18: The sister-in-law is coming
The food of the county government is not ordinary for Gansui, who has eaten various delicacies in Dahua before, but in Lin Zhixian's view, Gansui is polite and courteous, and the meal is also quite graceful. Look at his son who is eager to swallow the table in one bite, it's just spicy. Skip directly, "Can Gan Xiucai plan to end up next year?" ”
"I want to give it a try."
"Then is Gan Xiu planning to study at Qingshan Academy or Wenzhong Academy?"
"The students have inquired about Castle Peak Academy, but I heard that it is very expensive, and the students' families are poor, so I am afraid that they cannot afford ......it."
"Eh, Gan Xiucai should not underestimate the teaching of this academy. Although it is not impossible for self-taught to become self-taught, it is possible to get guidance from famous teachers. You don't have to worry about the silver, the official will report the keel waterwheel to the state capital in the afternoon, and there will definitely be a bonus for such things that benefit the country and the people. It's really not good, the old man can borrow you first, and then pay it back on the day you win. ”
"Adults should not shirk their love, but there is only one clumsy Jing in the family, and she is a weak woman......"
Poof, Lin You squirted out a mouthful of soup.
"You troublemaker, you look at it and make ......" Lin Xian Ling slapped his son. It's a shame to be choked on soup when you're so big.
"It's okay, everyone is already full anyway." Mr. Wu came to play the round.
"I'm just too surprised, just the tigress in Brother Gan's house, and the weak woman......"
"How do you speak?"
"Dad, don't you know, the little woman who helped me in the alley last time was Brother Gan and his wife. It's amazing, one person picked three strong men, and his face was not red or panting......"
Lin Xian Ling couldn't help but look at Gan Sui's small body, how could such a weak man afford to be a rouge tiger.
"Gan Xiucai's wife is still a master?" Lin Xian Ling drank two more glasses, and began to speak.
"My wife is a kind person, she generally doesn't like to do things."
But Lin Xianling seemed to have found a confidant, "I understand, I understand, they generally don't do it, and it's quite unusual to do it." ”
It seems that Lin County's order is quite poisonous, and he is about to shed tears when he says this.
"Daddy...... Father...... Don't drink it, you have to be on duty in the afternoon. Lin You couldn't let his father lose face, so he handed him a cup of tea, and Lin Xianling sobered up a little.
"Gan Xiucai went back and thought about it, if you are interested, the official can write you a letter of sponsorship."
"Thank you, then, sir."
Banxia over there watched the two farmers planting rice for a while, and asked while watching, it is always right to study more, and when I saw it, I took Huiniang home to cook in the middle of the morning.
"Just go back and do it alone, both of them go back, and no one will know if they are lazy." Hui Niang whispered to Banxia.
"I think both of them are honest and honest people, and it's okay. It's so sunny here, if you go back to tanning, I can't afford to pay for it if you look for me. ”
Hui Niangteng's face turned red, "I didn't expect Banxia girl to be so good at making fun of people"
"......" said such a straightforward thing to the ancients, I am guilty.
Banxia went home and took out the meat that was frozen in the well, but fortunately, there was still meat left over from the meat I bought yesterday. I went to the cupboard and found a few potatoes and prepared to make a potato stew.
Hui Niang hurriedly grabbed her: "You don't want stew, they are going to come to eat at noon." ”
"I know, it's because they're here to do the work that I stew. If you think about how hard it is to plant seedlings, the sun is shining, and there are leeches in the fields. ”
"Then you don't need such a big piece of meat, just boil a big bone broth and boil two eggs......
"yes, you reminded me, I've been thinking about what soup to make, or make a gnocchi egg soup."
Hui Niang: "......" forget it, let her be. "My father-in-law is still waiting for me to make lunch at home, so I'll go back first."
"No, it's all done."
"No, no, my mother-in-law is still here, she won't be happy if she goes back late. I'll go back first. ”
Hui Niang left in a hurry.
Banxia began to peel the potatoes neatly, put the processed potato cutter pieces into the pot, and soak them in water for a while to remove the starch.
Take out the ginger and garlic you bought yesterday, cut the meat into small cubes. Then soak in water for a while to soak in bloody water.
Take advantage of this time to light a fire and put in large pieces of firewood.
There was not much firewood, so Banxia decided to go to the forest in the afternoon to collect some firewood and come back. The one that Gan Sui took back in the morning was stained with last night's rain, wet, and all of it was left outside to dry in the middle of the summer. On days when there were no gas stoves and charcoal fires, firewood was the only option for incendiary goods, and Banxia had to think about stocking up on more.
Soon the firewood beeped and burned, Banxia hurriedly added a scoop of water to the pot, the firewood stove was fierce, and the water began to tumble after a while, Banxia poured the meat into the pot, blanched the water, and fished out the meat.
The water in which the meat is boiled skims off the foam and served for a while to cook the soup.
Heat in a hot pot, add oil, add ginger and garlic to burst until fragrant. Put a piece of rock sugar and melt, pour the meat in, quickly flip it so that all the meat is evenly fried to make the sugar color, and then add a little soy sauce to enhance the freshness. Quickly pour in boiling water, cover the meat, and when the water begins to boil, pour in the potato cubes and simmer together, filling the room with the smell of meat.
Banxia took out a large piece of firewood and put it in the stove on the other side, on the other side of the stove was a small pot, Banxia took out the eggs and fried two poached eggs on the stove on the other side, and took out the reconciled noodles and began to cook the gnocchi. After everything was cleaned up, the meat was almost stewed, and Banxia took a large bowl and served more than half of it. It was packed in a basket, and a large jug of water was brought to the field with a kettle.
When Banxia arrived in the field, the seedlings were almost planted. Banxia hurriedly beckoned the two of them to come over for dinner.
Opening the big bowl, the two obviously didn't expect such a hearty lunch.
"There is not much rice at home, and if there is no rice, the two of them will use some gnocchi."
The two were not good at words, and the older one blushed before saying, "It's already good, thank you." ”
"I still have to take a break when the sun is big in the afternoon, but I'm a woman who can't let you go to the house. There is a big tree at the head of the village over there, and there is a bluestone under the big tree, which is clean and you can lie down and sleep for a while. ”
"We don't pay attention to these things. However, the sun in early spring can stand it, and this little rice can be finished in a while, and Gan Xiucai said that there is still a piece of land to be planted with soybeans and soybeans. In a moment, the two of us will go and plant it. ”
"Isn't that going to be too much of a hassle for you."
"No, no, Master Lin gave three days' wages, and if our two masters finish it in two days, they can earn one more day."
Banxia didn't force them, only told them to drink water frequently, and returned home. It rained last night, and the seeds planted in the field behind the house were already sprouting. Banxia was still in contact with these for the first time, and I felt very surprised, squatting down and looking at them one by one. After squatting for a while, I felt dizzy and insisted on going back to the house to lie down for a while. When he was lying in a daze, suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door.
Banxia Huo lifted the quilt and walked out the door.
"Who?" When I opened the door, I saw an unfamiliar face.
"Sister, save your brother."
Gotcha, now I know who it is, cheap sister-in-law.
"Don't pull my clothes, they'll tear them again."
The woman let go of her hand.
"Something to talk about." Banxia didn't have time to entangle her. She has heard what Gan Erniang said, her eldest brother and her family are very unkind, since the death of her father, she has treated her sister as a maid, working all day long, and sometimes beating and scolding. Later, the original body fell in love with this Xiucai, and his brother said that this Xiucai couldn't get the bride price, and he didn't let go, or Banxia took out the body he had saved so hard, so he could be considered to have bought freedom, but on the second day of the wedding, her brother didn't give up and wanted her to remarry. With such a brother and sister-in-law, Banxia felt that there was really no need to have any contact.
Sister-in-law Su looked at Banxia, how could she seem to have changed within two days of getting married. He laughed twice and said: "Last year, it was supposed to be the day when my sister-in-law came back, but you didn't go home, and you didn't send a message, so I was a little worried and came to take a look." ”
"Worry, it can't be, right? The day before yesterday, my brother came to see me, and he said that he would break off his righteousness in the future and would not recognize me as a sister. ”
"Your brother feels sorry for you, which bride had an accident on the first day of marriage, your brother was in a hurry and said angry words......"
"You're here to see me today? I saw it now, and I'll go in if it's okay. Banxia didn't want to watch her perform, so she wanted to turn around and enter the house, but her sister-in-law grabbed her.
"Don't, sister-in-law, sister-in-law came today to ask you for something."
Knowing that there was nothing good, Banxia sighed secretly in her heart, and her eyes motioned for her to continue.
"Didn't your brother tell you a Huang old man some time ago......"
"I remember that I had explicitly refused."
"I know, but wasn't it the day before yesterday that Xiaobao was uncomfortable, and your brother and I couldn't watch the child get sick, so I moved some silver and gave Xiaobao a doctor, and the result was ...... Today, Master Huang came to him, and he wanted us to pay back the money, and we treated Xiaobao in the past two days, and the money was spent, so we could still get it...... Master Huang didn't follow, he said that either you would marry him, or he would pay back the silver, if not, he would break your brother's leg. ”
"Then ...... Break my brother's leg. ”
"Ahh
"Sister-in-law, you have also seen that I am destitute here, and it seems that I have taken out money. Besides, I am already married to my father-in-law, and if a daughter does not serve a second husband, she cannot remarry. Then the only thing left is for him to break my brother's leg. "Banxia is also very sorry for what he said.
"That's your brother...... If he breaks his leg, Xiaobao and I will have no way to live. ”
"Sister-in-law only thinks about whether she has a way to live now, why didn't she think about the future when she spent the money?"
"That's not ...... That's not out of the question......"
"Then I can't help it now. The water spilled by the married daughter, my sister-in-law has to understand that I am now a member of the Gan family, and I can't do anything about the Su family. ”
"That's your brother...... You thing......"
"Click!" Banxia split a piece of wood with his bare hands, "What did my sister-in-law say?" ”
"I ...... I...... I'll go first......" said and left without looking back, for fear that Banxia would split her like wood.
Watching her go away, Banxia shook her hand, pretending to be X for a while, and afterwards in the crematorium, woo woo, her hand hurts so much.
