Yu Xiaocao was unhappy: "Auntie, who do you say is pretending to be sick?" My mother fainted yesterday, didn't you see it! You're so good, let a patient do it for you, are you still reasonable? Whether it's pretending to be sick or not, please see it at Grandpa You! ”

The Zhang family, who was nesting in the house, couldn't sit still when he heard this: "Li Guihua, you lazy woman!" As soon as it was time to cook, I didn't see anyone, but now I know I'm back! What do you do? Why don't you help out in the kitchen? ”

Doctor, that doesn't cost money!

Zhang walked to the kitchen door and said to Liu Duyun, who was busy inside: "Hurry back to the house and rest, your daughter feels sorry for you!" ”

"How can anyone who is a girl not feel sorry for her mother? Mother, you sit, I'll help you serve the food! "Sister-in-law Yu Caidie came out, and the family was only with her and the third child, and she could appease the old lady.

Zhang turned his head and saw the seafood in the hands of Yu Hai's father and son, his face turned cloudy, and he squinted with a smile: "Give me the bucket!" These seafood are quite fresh, keep them overnight, and ask your eldest brother to send them to the restaurant in the town tomorrow morning, and you can exchange them for some silver. ”

"Grandma, save some oysters and eat them steamed! I want to taste something! Yu Xiaocao said deliberately.

Zhang's face suddenly pulled down, and he said unhappily: "You haven't eaten too much!" Oysters are sold in the town for a few pennies a pound, and you are not afraid of being bad when you eat them! ”

It was also Yu Hai watching from the side, or Zhang's words would be even more ugly. She beckoned her daughter over, and even the buckets in the hands of Yu Hang's brothers and sisters did not let go, and all of them carried her into the house. Whatever can be exchanged for money must be held in your own hands.

When he turned around, he saw the bamboo basket in Yu Xiaocao's hand, and he pouted at him and said, "And what you have in your hand, bring it in for me too." ”

Xiaocao pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "Grandma, you have taken away all the seafood, and I will only have half a basket of kelp and sea cabbage, and I can't sell a few copper plates." Just save it for grandpa at night to get some cold dishes and drink! ”

Zhang stretched out his head to look, and sure enough, it was green kelp, and said as if he was gracious: "Just like this!" In the future, everything in the family will have to be in my hands, and you are not allowed to make your own decisions! ”

Yu Xiaocao agreed, waited for the Zhang family to enter the main house, glanced at Xiaolian, and carried a small basket into the West House.

Yu Xiaolian took a dilapidated crockpot from the corner of the kitchen, filled it with some water, and followed her little sister into the house quietly.

The sisters carefully put the abalone hidden under the kelp into a clay pot. There was no way to sell it today, so Yu Xiaocao added some spirit stone water to it with some peace of mind, stuffed the jar into a hidden place in the corner of the kang, and then came out again with the kelp.

Yu Hai followed in and saw the sisters' small movements. In the past, Xiaolian in the family was a little thorn, and even the Zhang family dared to stand up to it when she was in a hurry, and she was scolded and beaten for this. Now Xiaocao's temperament is not far behind, but there are more ghost ideas, and he is bold, and the abalone of a few taels of silver will be ambiguous.

In the kitchen, Liu had almost made dinner. Yu Xiaocao went in, quickly mixed a garlic kelp shred, and made a sea cabbage soup, and the dinner was much richer than before.

When eating, the men and women of the Yu family still sat separately. On the woman's side, one person has a black cake with a big palm, only some salt boiled vegetables, and a bowl of bean soup.

The staple food on the men's side is the large steamed buns made of white flour, millet noodles and potato flour mixed together, and the dishes stewed in meat oil are the same as those of women and children. It has nothing to do with the inferiority of men and women, men do hard work, how can they do it if they don't eat well?

Yu Xiaocao's hand-cooked plate of salty, fresh and slightly spicy garlic kelp shreds, and a pot of original sea cabbage soup, have won unanimous praise from everyone. Especially the old Yutou, he praised the garlic kelp silk.

Zhang couldn't see the slightest pride in the second room, and while eating the kelp silk, he said: "The second girl is quite capable, and she can follow the sea and help cook." Dr. You said that her body was already well, and I thought that the small stove could be stopped in the future. ”

Xiaocao was holding her own fragrant rice porridge, and she drank happily with Xiaoshi, and her face stretched when she heard the words. In the future, she will also eat pure coarse grain cakes that pull her throat, as well as bean soup that is difficult to swallow. Alas! Painful torment! Fortunately, those abalone were not confiscated!!

Xiaocao's expression seemed to please Zhang's, and she looked like she was enjoying the coarse grain cakes. She also ate most of the plate of kelp silk.

Li and her equally obese son only cared about picking vegetables in their mouths, and the other half of the kelp shreds and sea cabbage soup all went into the stomachs of the two girls. When the plate bottomed out, she picked up her son, who wanted to make it to the man's table, and secretly went back to the house.

Xiaocao knew that the two of them were eating alone again.

When Li first got married, her family was poor, or she would not marry the stepson of the Yu family, who was also very poor. A few years ago, her mother's brother made money from small business, and the family got better. Li is the youngest sister and the only daughter of the old couple. So every time I go home, my father, mother, brother and sister-in-law will make up for it. Or, with the food of the Yu family, can you raise the fat of this girl?

After dinner, there was no word all night!

The next day, it was just dawn. Westinghouse Yuhai's family got up on the kang.

Yu Hai made an appointment with Zhao Orion to go up the mountain to hunt. Yu Hang and Yu Xiaolian brothers and sisters, in the past, they were all at this hour, going to the foot of the mountain to hunt pigweed and collect firewood. Liu was already in the yard, cleaning the chicken pen and pigsty with a broom.

The family was surprised that Yu Xiaocao got up so early. Yu Hai touched her little head and said with a smile: "Sleep for a while, it's not dawn yet!" ”

Yu Xiaocao was thinking about a big event in her heart, where could she sleep, she smiled and said to her father: "Xiaoshi can help with the work, how can I, who is a sister, be lazy?" Dad, hurry up, don't let Uncle Zhao wait for a long time. ”

Yu Hai didn't delay any longer, took the paper bag handed over by Liu Shi and wrapped two three-fold noodles steamed buns, pinned the water bag to his waist, and went out with a homemade bow and hunting fork.

Yu Xiaocao took out the clay pot hidden yesterday from the bottom of the kang, and the abalone in it was more alive under the nourishment of the spirit stone water.

This kind of abalone can only be sold at a good price if it is brought to a large restaurant. But she had just passed through, and she had never left the village, so how could she know the way into the city?

"Brother, is our village far away from the town?" Yu Xiaocao held the clay pot, took advantage of the fact that the main house and the east house did not get up, and followed Yu Hang's brothers and sisters out of the door.

Yu Hang glanced at her in surprise and asked, "It's quite far, it takes more than an hour to walk—why are you asking this?" You can't want to sell it in town, right? As he spoke, he gestured to the crockpot in her hand.

More than an hour? That's not at least two hours! Yu Xiaocao looked down at his little short legs, sighed, and said, "Then is there a carriage or ox cart in our village that goes to the town?" ”
