Chapter 25: The One Who Eats Alone
Since she hit the pheasant and made a chicken stew at home, the eldest girl has been standing in the stove since the next day, looking up at the chicken hanging on the rope and drooling, and from time to time she will follow Cui'er, asking when she can eat chicken.
Cui'er is not disgusted by children's greed, but the fact that there is less and less food at home makes Cui'er's heart feel like frying. Sooner or later, I have to leave, before leaving, I have to try my best to let Lian Qingshan grow up, even if I can't make all my body good, at least I can go to the ground and support myself.
As for Lian Qingshan's younger brother Lian Qinghe and his wife, Cui'er has no hope for them, she has been at Lian Qingshan's house for so long, except for the bowl of cabbage soup at the beginning, a bowl of bud rice batter that is so thin that it can shine brightly, Lian Qinghe and his wife have sent rice twice, and the simplicity is as good as the cabbage soup.
Even Qingshan, the elder brother, didn't say anything, and Cui'er was even more difficult to say anything as an outsider, I heard that the brother-in-law Dong had a three-year-old boy and a girl who was breastfeeding, Cui'er thought that it was not easy for everyone, Xu was too busy at home, and it was not easy for the Zhuang family to get food, so Cui'er didn't ask anymore.
How to make money, this is another major topic on Cui'er's schedule after treating Lian Qingshan's legs and teaching Xiaohu to walk and speak, and this topic is even more important than the first two, because this not only affects Cui'er's current life, but also affects Cui'er's life after leaving Lian'er's family.
"How to make money, how to make money...... Cui'er walked on the path at the head of the village with a basket in her hand, ready to go to Aunt Lu's house to meet Aunt Lu and go to Qian'er together.
In this ancient price, Cui'er once inquired about the side, one tael of silver is a thousand dollars, one big money can buy a steamed bun or an egg, three big money can buy a pound of bud rice noodles, but a pound of rice or white noodles will be sold for about ten dollars.
In Cui'er's hand, there is a silver of three or four taels, plus hairpins and the like, about ten taels of silver, for a woman, it can be regarded as a small asset, but this money, Cui'er does not dare to show it at all.
The three or four taels of silver are to be used as the capital when Cui'er does business in the future, and the rest of the jewelry, Cui'er does not plan to move, first, the appearance of this jewelry is quite exquisite, it should be the original owner's object, if you recall the original owner's family in the future, you can recognize it back with the object. In one, he rashly took these things off, in case he bumped into the person who harmed the original owner in the first place, and was harmed again, but the gain outweighed the loss.
The reason why Cui'er was able to move freely around this village and was not afraid was also because she confirmed that there was no enemy of her own in this backer.
After Cui'er followed Aunt Lu into the backer, she inquired with Aunt Lu about them, and in the entire backer, there were only wheelbarrows or ox carts pushed by manpower, and there was no big cart pulled by Cui'er's impression, which also shows that Cui'er's enemy was not in the backer.
Seeing that she was about to arrive at Aunt Lu's house, Cui'er still didn't come up with a way to make money, so she simply stopped thinking about it, but carefully observed the surrounding yard.
The yard at the head of the village is not small from the courtyard of the Lianjia, the biggest gap is that there is no high indigenous wall of the Lianjia, if you want to say that the wall is high, most of them are the people on the edge of the village, and the people in the middle of the village, the wall is as high as Cui'er's thigh.
Cui'er is also familiar with walking around this backing mountain, found Aunt Lu's house, and followed Aunt Lu to find Aunt Chunzhu, today is to get Yu Qian'er, naturally Aunt Chunzhu's youngest son, a teenage boy named Little Yam.
After the meeting was over, Aunt Lu, Aunt Chunzhu and Yinhuan, Aunt Chunzhu's eldest son, nicknamed Yam, suddenly walked in from outside, looked at Cui'er with a strange face, and then said something to Aunt Chunzhu in a low voice, and then entered the house in a panic.
"Let's go, take a detour from the back street." Aunt Chunzhu's face was not very good, but she didn't say much, and pointed to a road behind her.
Although Cui'er didn't understand why, she didn't ask much, so she followed Aunt Chunzhu and them away, and after walking for a long time, Aunt Lu suddenly pointed to a courtyard and said, "Qingshan's daughter-in-law hasn't been here, this is the old yard of your Lianjia, Qingshan was still born here when he was a child, and next to it is my mother's house, when Qingshan was just born, I also hugged him." ”
Cui'er looked at Aunt Lu's hand, only to see that there was a small courtyard in front of her, there were three very neatly built but obviously old brick houses, the courtyard wall was only half a person high, a small table was placed in front of the house, a large basin was placed on the table, and a young man was sitting next to the table, with a two- or three-year-old child, and a young daughter-in-law was coming out of the house with vegetables, it was Dong's.
"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat......" the child shouted, so cute and cute, which reminded Cui'er of her own little tiger, and couldn't help but smile.
"Rice and dry rice are not enough for you to eat, you still have to eat meat, you should be the old lady to open a money bank!" The Dong family yelled at the child, and put the dishes on the plate on the table, it was a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and there was really meat in it.
Don't blame Cui'er for seeing clearly, she has been here for so long, except for the pheasant that eats the meat, she hasn't seen meat in other days, and now she sees the red pork belly slices in the stir-fry, Cui'er feels that her throat is tight, and her saliva can't help but secrete.
"It's really a poor and short-minded person, I think I was also a white-collar worker at the beginning, and I have eaten a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas, how can I drool over a few pieces of pork belly, it's really undeserved." Cui'er secretly clenched her fists and said in her heart.
"Ah, unfortunately, they are eating, I wanted to go and see, but since I was in time to eat, I still don't go." Cui'er said that Cui'er had no impression of Lian Qingshan's younger brother Lian Qinghe, but the brother-in-law Dong didn't have a good impression of Cui'er, so she didn't want to make more contact.
"Yes, don't go, people eat rice and rice, and meat, if we go, maybe we will be treated as gluttonous and ask for food." Aunt Lu saw that Dong glanced over here, and she was also a little unhappy in her heart, and then said.
"Let's go!" Aunt Lu waved her hand and left with everyone, a little far away from Lian's house, Aunt Lu said in a low voice to Aunt Chunzhu, "Even the second child of the family eats alone, and the eldest of the family is paralyzed on the kang, and then he doesn't even give a hot meal, and he eats dry rice at home, as well as meat, tsk......tt"
"It's just not authentic." Aunt Chunzhu nodded yes, sighed when she finished speaking, and stopped talking, obviously thinking that she would follow Cui'er behind.
Cui'er doesn't have anything to do, although even the second and second of the family eat rice and dry rice at home, but they don't even have to drink the mush, this is a personal fate, isn't it? There is nothing to complain about, since the family has been separated, even the Qinghe family has nothing to do with his own family.
Thinking of this, Cui'er let go of her hand, no longer thinking about the Qinghe's food, but followed Yinhuan to discuss the way to eat Yu Qian'er with great interest.
