On the way back, Qingbao wanted to buy some spices to save the next time she came to walk ten or so miles, but she didn't have the money. There is silver on Erzhu, but it was given to his mother by his grandmother, and his mother spent it before she saw it, so it was inappropriate.

If she insisted on buying it, Second Uncle Huang shouldn't be able to let the child pay, maybe he would help her pay, but the people had already given one or two pieces of silver, and then let the family pay for it, and the insatiable greed was the most annoying.

In Qingbao's conflict, Uncle Huang actually stopped the car and ordered them to sit in the car, and after a while, he opened the door of the carriage, first handed in a chicken and a large piece of pork, and then stuffed in several paper bags: "You two are bored, just eat a little sugar and knock some melon seeds." ”

Erzhu happily opened the paper bag, the oil paper bag was light yellow starch sugar, and the yellow paper bag was fried melon seeds and fried peanuts.

It seems that Second Uncle Huang is very concerned about the sixth sister's family, and he is also very concerned about his nephew and niece.

It's just that I don't know why, Huang Liuniang is not close to her mother's family.

Maybe it has something to do with the cynicism of the eldest aunt.

Erzhu hurriedly stuffed a piece of sugar into his mouth, and didn't forget to stuff a piece for Qingbao, and said inarticulately: "Liuya, eat sugar, it's sweet." ”

Now that it's in your mouth, of course you have to eat it. Qingbao slowly chewed the caramel in his mouth, not to mention, it was really sweet, not much different from the caramel in later generations.

While eating, Qingbao thought of another idea.

The profit of tea eggs is too thin, so it is better to sell sugar.

Qingbao loved to eat sugar when he was a child, and Xia's father, who was good at cooking, made a lot of candy for Qingbao, such as peanut sesame candy, milk candy, and rolled sugar.

When Dad Xia was doing it, Qingbao kept watching by the pot, and naturally took a look.

Although the raw materials are not as abundant as in later generations, as long as there is sugar, you can create it slowly and create it yourself, and you will always make a few decent candies.

Thinking of this, Qingbao divided half of the peanuts, melon seeds and sugar, and said to Erzhu: "Second brother, don't move this half first, when you get home, I will make peanuts and melon seeds candy to eat, if there are more, we will sell them for money." ”

Erzhu only ate a piece of candy, so he reluctantly wrapped the remaining half of the things in paper, swallowed his saliva and said: "Then I won't eat it, go back to Sanzhu, 4 Zhu, and 5 Zhu to eat, Wuzhu loves sugar the most." ”

Seeing that Erzhu was so sensible, Qing Bao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but it was really a poor man's child who had already been in charge.

Obviously, he wanted to eat it very much, but he still wrapped it up and kept it for his younger brothers to eat, Erzhu, who was the eldest brother, was really competent.

The carriage ran fast, and the ten miles were quickly finished.

When he walked to the entrance of the village, Second Uncle Huang suddenly stopped the car with a "whoosh", and then Qingbao heard him say: "Sister-in-law, where are you collecting firewood?" ”

Qingbao and Erzhu lifted the curtain on the car door and looked out, only to see the eldest aunt Yang carrying a large basket of dead branches and rotten leaves towards the village.

When the Yang family saw that it was Huang's second uncle, they probably hadn't forgotten that the Huang family's brothers had given Huang Liuniang a claim to make her lose two taels of silver, so he snorted coldly and said in a bad voice: "Isn't this his second uncle?" Come to see your sixth sister? ”

Second Uncle Huang smiled: "Well, come and see the sixth sister." ”

Yang stretched out his head and looked into the carriage, and saw that Erzhu was holding a few paper bags, and couldn't help sneering: "Look at it, don't buy her anything and give her silver." She's the poor guy who can't save money. The two taels of silver I gave her last time were not hot in my hand, and I got sick and spent it, so I didn't have such a big life, so don't reach out and take so much silver. ”

Seeing that she said something ugly, Uncle Huang didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he got out of the car and left.

Yang looked at the carriage traveling far away and smacked it fiercely.

When he came to the door of Qingbao's house, Second Uncle Huang took the two children out of the car, carried his things and followed the two children into the door.

Xia Shouping was burning the fire, and when he saw Second Uncle Huang coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Second brother, did you send the child?" I'm sorry for you. ”

Second Uncle Huang smiled: "What's the trouble here, it's just a car." Is the sixth sister better? ”

"Much better." The two of them went into the house with that.

In the house, Huang Liuniang heard that the second brother was coming, and she had already sat up. But his head was not combed and his face was not washed, his face was full of sickness, and his whole body was haggard.

Seeing the appearance of the sixth sister, Second Uncle Huang probably felt uncomfortable, and his eyes were a little red.

The second brother is here, his father, make some tea. Huang Liuniang saw her relatives, but she was a little more energetic.

Erzhu came over with those paper bags and put them in front of Huang Liuniang as if they were ostentatious: "Mother, the sugar, melon seeds and peanuts that my second uncle bought, mother, you taste a piece, it's sweet." Erzhu picked up a piece of caramel and handed it to Huang Liuniang.

Huang Liuniang didn't take it, but said, "Mother doesn't eat it, take it to your younger brothers to eat." Then he looked up and said to Second Uncle Huang: "Second brother, let you break the bank." ”

Second Uncle Huang sighed and said, "We are brothers and sisters, so what do you say." Are you feeling better? ”

"Alright, there's nothing going on."

Our mother misses you, so you can go and see her old man when you have time. ”

"Well, I'll be there in a few days. Is the eldest girl doing at the eldest brother's house? ”

Second Uncle Huang was silent for a while and said, "It's okay, I didn't have much time to pass, and you know, my sister-in-law is impatient for us to come to the door." ”

When it comes to sister-in-law, Huang Liuniang has nothing to say, the sister-in-law who only takes advantage and does not suffer losses is on par with the sister-in-law Yang here, but the Li family still has to be cheeky in front of people, but the Yang family never cares about the front and back of people.

The melon seeds were already half of Qingbao's release, and there were not many left, she grabbed two handfuls and went down less than half, Qingbao looked at it and let her catch it, the melon seeds were gone, she stretched out her hand and dragged the paper bag over, pretending to be angry and said: "You can eat it, what do you put in your pocket?" My second brother hasn't eaten yet. Qingbao wrapped the paper bag and put it away.

"Cut, who is rare in your broken melon seeds, look at your stingy ......" Xia Min despised Qingbao, jumped off the kang, and went to the hall.

Xia Shouping's house is two, the east one is the bedroom, the one on the right has two large stoves, and the north and south also open a door, because this room is ventilated in the north and south, the north and south can be walked, and the locals call it the hall house, also called the aisle house. Xia Shouping and Qingbao were cooking just now, and it was a big stove burning in the hall.

Afraid that she would have something to do again, Qingbao hurriedly chased out, but saw that the big tiger and the second tiger were surrounding Xia Shouping, staring at the chicken on the cutting board.

Xia Min tugged at Xia Shouping's clothes and shouted flatteringly: "Third uncle, your stewed chicken?" Our family hasn't eaten meat in a long time. ”

Qingbao shouted in his heart that it was going to be bad, Xia Shouping's steamed bun would definitely let them eat it here next.

Huang Liuniang was in a better mood when she saw Huang's second uncle coming, and if she saw the chicken brought by her brother and let the three children of the uncle's family eat it, she would definitely be even more angry.

Qingbao hurriedly said next to him: "My family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, this chicken was bought by my second uncle to supplement my mother's body, this chicken is not allowed to be eaten by others, only kept for my mother." ”

Xia Min turned a deaf ear to her words, and just coquettishly said to Xia Shouping: "Third uncle, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat......" The big tiger and the second tiger also whispered next to him: "Third uncle, we also want to eat meat." ”

Xia Shouping could not beat the soft grinding and hard bubbles of his niece and nephew, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will eat meat at the third uncle's house tonight." You guys go play with Liuya first, and the third uncle will stew meat. ”

Xia Min's big tiger and little tiger jumped up happily, but Qing Bao was angry.

How much meat can a chicken have? Their family of seven plus Second Uncle Huang is already a family of eight, eight people eat one chicken, it is already difficult for that chicken, and now three more have been added!

She was about to spoong and drive Xia Min and them away, but she didn't think about it, and four more children came in from outside.

When Qingbao saw it, he was immediately dumbfounded.

The three of the uncle's family didn't drive away, but the four of the fourth aunt's family came again......

Just because Second Uncle Huang bought a lot of things when he came to visit relatives, the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt actually sent the children here, which made Qingbao can't help but burst the first foul words after crossing over: Nima, how long have you not eaten, and you came to eat when there were still guests at other people's homes, do you want to be embarrassed?

The four of the fourth aunt's family probably knew that Xia Shouping was easy to talk to, so they chatted around Xia Shouping, and Xia Shouping smiled and agreed to let them eat here.

Qingbao was very angry with Xia Shouping's steamed bun, and threw the firewood on the ground with a snap, she didn't burn the fire, who likes to eat it or not!

Qingbao shook his hand and entered the house, but saw that Huang Liuniang was crying to Second Uncle Huang in the house: "Second brother, do you say that my family still has a way to live this day?" You see, you come with your front foot, and you send the child to my house with your back foot......"

Although Second Uncle Huang is also very angry, as Huang Liuniang's maiden relative, he really can't go out and blow the children away, because as soon as he makes a move, he represents the Huang family, not to mention that he is an adult, if he cares about the children, this will be a big shame if it is passed out. There was no way, he could only comfort his sister and said: "Sixth sister, look at it, it doesn't matter who will eat it, you can just eat yours." Don't be angry, if you are angry, you will have to suffer yourself. ”

Huang Liuniang stopped talking, but shed tears vigorously.

In order to relieve her, Qing Baoqiang smiled and said: "Mother, when the meat is not on the table, I will serve you a big bowl first, and promise not to let them all eat it." ”

Second Uncle Huang touched Qingbao's little head melon and said to Huang Liuniang: "Look, the child is sensible. For the sake of the children, you also have to think about it, and bring them all up, which is your main business, don't be angry because of irrelevant people. ”

Huang Liuniang wiped away her tears, looked at Lin Qi and said with relief: "Liuya is sensible and smart, it's really hard for the child to be born in such a poor family, and he can't even eat a bowl of rice." ”

Seeing that she had the intention of crying bitterly, Qingbao hurriedly said: "Mother, I'll go to my brothers, let them all come to the house, and grab the chicken to eat." ”

Second Uncle Huang said: "Second sister, then I'll go with Liuya, I won't eat here today." ”

Huang Liuniang wiped her tears again and sighed: "Okay, you can go home." You won't have enough to eat here anyway. ”

Second Uncle Huang took Qingbao's hand and came out of the house, and said to Xia Shouping, who was stewing meat: "Brother-in-law, you are busy, I will go back." ”

Xia Shouping raised his head from the smoke and asked puzzledly, "Didn't you say you eat here?" Why do you have to go again? ”

Thanks to Second Uncle Huang's good cultivation, he still had a smile on his face: "No, you have a lot of children here, let the children eat." ”

"It's okay, they eat theirs, let's eat ours." Xia Shouping didn't hear the dissatisfaction in Second Uncle Huang's words, and he was still keeping Second Uncle Huang.

Qing Bao saw that Second Uncle Huang was embarrassed to say it, and said coldly beside him: "Fourteen people eat a chicken, what do you let Second Uncle eat?" Gnawing on chicken feathers? ”

seemed to be a little surprised by his daughter's mocking tone, and seemed to be surprised that there were so many people waiting to eat this chicken, Xia Shouping was stunned for a while.

Seeing him like this, Second Uncle Huang smiled and said, "Let the children eat, I won't eat here." When you and the sixth sister go to my place one day, let's have a clean meal. With that, he led Lin Qi out.

Xia Shouping hurriedly chased him out, and said: "Second brother, it's okay, let's eat at different tables, the children eat the children's, let's eat ours." ”

Second Uncle Huang didn't even look back, got into the carriage without hesitation, and shouted to Lin Qi: "Liuya, will you use your second uncle to pull you for a while?" ”

Qingbao waved his hand: "No, I'll just look nearby." Second uncle, go back early, be careful on the road. ”

Second Uncle Huang raised his whip and drove the carriage away.

Xia Shouping looked at the carriage that was walking away, and said a little melancholy: "Your uncles are here, and they never eat at our house." ”

Qingbao didn't bother to pay attention to this bun father, and ran to find Erzhu and them.

happened to meet Erzhu coming back with a few younger brothers on the way, and Qingbao came back with them.

On the way back, Qingbao told them about the situation just now, and repeatedly told the four brothers to be quick and ruthless when eating, otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to gnaw a bone. The four brothers, who realized that the situation was serious, nodded very seriously.

Back at home, Qingbao saw at a glance that the big tiger and the two tigers were all eating melon seeds, and as soon as she saw her go back, Lin Min raised her chin defiantly. Qingbao ran into the house to see that Nima, the half bag of melon seeds she put on the cabinet, there was only a lonely piece of paper left!

Qingbao hurriedly turned to look at Huang Liuniang, only to see that she was lying in the quilt with her eyes closed, posing helplessly out of sight and out of mind. But her pursed lips signaled a storm in the house after the children were gone.

Erzhu and they soon played with the big tiger and the second tiger, and they were young and didn't know how to worry.

Xia Shouping was busy under the stove by himself, making rice and stewed meat. Qingbao brought a big bowl from the kitchen cabinet and put it on the edge of the pot, and said to him: "This chicken is used by the second uncle to replenish the mother's body, and a big bowl will be put out for the mother to eat alone." ”

"Okay." Xia Shouping probably also realized that seven nieces and nephews came, and Huang Liuniang might be unhappy, so he whispered to Qingbao: "Liuya, you go and persuade your mother and let her not be angry." ”

Qingbao shook his head and said, "I don't care, you can tell your mother to go." Your own family can't eat enough, and you still have air to manage others, which of the two families is not better than ours. ”

Xia Shouping said helplessly: "The children are here, I can't go out." ”

How much meat can a chicken stew?

As soon as the meat came out of the pot, Qingbao preemptively gave Huang Liuniang a chicken leg, a chicken wing and a few pieces of chicken breast, but Xia Shouping picked up another chicken leg and chicken wings and a few pieces of chicken into another bowl, and beckoned Erzhu and said, "Erzhu, send this bowl of chicken to your grandfather and grandma." ”

Huang Liuniang's long sigh came from inside the house.

The two chicken legs, two chicken wings and chicken breasts are gone, and there is only a bunch of chicken necks, chicken heads, and chicken feet left in the pot, Xia Shouping looked at the dozen or so children playing in the yard, grabbed a few handfuls of vermicelli and put them in the pot, thought about it for a while, and cut the only few potatoes in the house and put them inside, and made up half a pot.

Qingbao didn't care about him, just filled a bowl of rice, and brought the chicken to Huang Liuniang on the kang: "Mother, you eat first." ”

Huang Liuniang heard Qingbao call her, so she opened her eyes and sat up, heard the screams of the children outside, and frowned: "I don't eat, I have no appetite." ”

Qingbao stuffed the dishes and chopsticks into his hand, and said lightly: "Eat, eat all of these, anyway, if you don't eat it, you won't have anything left." ”

This sentence woke up Huang Liuniang, and Huang Liuniang first handed the chicken leg to Qingbao: "Liuya, you eat the chicken leg, and my mother eats the chicken wings." ”

Qingbao put the chicken leg back into her bowl: "You eat, I'll keep my stomach and grab a few more pieces with them, let's eat one more piece is a piece." ”

"Then you call Wuzhu and give him the chicken leg to eat." Huang Liuniang still thinks about the child after all, and she doesn't eat the chicken leg alive.

Qingbao had no choice but to go out and greet Wuzhu: "Wuzhu, my mother called you." ”

Wuzhu ran into the house sweating profusely, and the goblin Xia Min probably saw something, but followed to enter the house.

Qingbao stopped her angrily and said, "Didn't you come to play with me?" I'm free now, let's play. ”

Xia Min stretched out his hand and pushed Qingbao, glanced at her and said, "Good dogs don't get in the way." ”
