Chapter 192: The Key to Be Returned?
"Eat, eat, you know to eat, see what it is?" Lu Shi said, proudly raising the key in his hand, so comfortable. Book Lovers' Building
Xu Bing and Xu Zhenghu also walked in from the outside at this time, sitting on the kang respectively, Xu Bing told the cause and effect over and over again, praising his mother both inside and out.
Xu Lao listened to the old girl's words, and the expression on his face sank little by little from the initial expectation, and finally raised the dry tobacco pouch in his hand and hit it in the direction of the Lu family.
Lu Shizheng said proudly, when he saw that the cigarette pouch pole came down, he hid behind his second son, Xu Zhenghu quickly reached out and clasped Xu Lao's crooked wrist, and said aggrievedly:
"Dad, what are you doing here!"
"What are you doing?!" Old Xu's crooked eyes widened, and he struggled hard to gain freedom. With his other hand, he pointed at Lu Shi tremblingly, and said angrily:
"You old lady of a ruined family, a stinky woman who has more than enough success, I'll kill you-"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to fight, and Lu Shi was so frightened that he screamed "ah-", and hurriedly hid behind his second son again. At this time, Xu Ling and the others also came back from outside, looking at the posture of the two of them, Xu Ling sat on the chair in disappointment and did not step forward to pull the frame.
Zheng stood aside, also drooping his head, only Xu Zhengjiang stepped forward, hugged his father, and said:
"Dad, I can't beat it."
"Why can't you fight, such a mother-in-law, what's the use of keeping it."
Although Xu Lao said this on his crooked lips, his impulse just now was obviously weakened a lot. Lu Shi looked at the boss like this, and he didn't dare to say a word, he was scared in the end.
Xu Bing cried and held his mother's arm, looked at his father pitifully, sniffed, and said:
"Dad, what the hell are you doing, what did my mother do wrong?"
When Xu Lao Crooked heard this, he was about to open his mouth angrily, but unexpectedly-
"Ahem...... cough cough cough cough ......" saliva choked on me.
Xu Ling sat on the chair, looked at his sister-in-law, shook his head in disappointment, sighed, and said:
"Bing'er, Bing'er, you're not too young, how do you think things are just a tendon, do you think our mother is getting cheap today? You're wrong! β
"Huh?!"
Lu Shi and Xu Bingniang exclaimed in unison, and both of them stared at Xu Ling.
"Mother, are you content with a West Cross Courtyard? That Xu Miao tossed such a big workshop, and there is a tofu workshop at home, it can be said that their good days are about to begin, do you think she will go back to the West Cross Courtyard? β
When Lu Shi heard his daughter say this, he shook his head incomprehensibly and said:
"Ling'er, where is the girl going to live if she doesn't come back? She rented that tofu shop for two years. β
Zheng looked at his mother-in-law so innocently, opened his mouth, and finally swallowed the words back into his stomach. The second looked at his sister, then at the eldest brother, pouted, and said:
"What the hell is going on, let's talk about it all at once, what kind of cultural person to learn, half of what you say."
Seeing this, Xu Ling rolled his eyes unhappily, sighed, and said:
"You guys, no wonder you can't fight that Xu Miao, just look at things from your point of view, how can you be able to fight. To put it bluntly, the four sisters and brothers have earned money, can't they build a house again? Our West Cross Courtyard is so good, do they have to come back? β
"I'll leave the words here today, you will look at the spring of next year, if Xu Miao does not move the soil, I will use your head as a cannon to step on. Our father is so angry today because of this, with that West Cross Courtyard, let their sisters and brothers come back, there is no West Cross Courtyard, let them come back, do you think it is possible? β
"How is it impossible, our father and mother are their grandfather and grandmother." Xu Zhenghu said confidently.
Zheng finally couldn't stand it anymore, shook his head, and said, "His second uncle, when it really comes to that time, people have a reason to refuse." β
"How to refuse?!" Xu Zhenghu was puzzled.
Xu Zhengjiang suddenly realized, stretched out his hand and pushed his brother's head, and then said:
"You're stupid, won't Xu Miao say it then?" Ah, the house is given to you, what are we going to do back, aren't a few uncles serving you well? If you really say that, our brothers and sisters will have to eat and work, you know! β
Xu Zhengjiang's explanation, Lu Shi, Xu Zhenghu, and Xu Bing all understood instantly, Xu Lao looked at such a wife and children, sighed heavily, sat on the kang, put down the cigarette pouch pole, and said:
"Originally, the boss was really lacking, and it was about to arrive, you mothers, you ruined the good days of our family, alas!"
Lu Shi didn't make a fuss this time, looked at the old man's distressed appearance, looked at the key on the kang again, and said timidly:
"Or ...... Why don't I send this key back? β
ββ¦β¦β
There were bursts of silence that answered her, there were only a few people in the upper house, all of whom were worried at the moment, but Xu Bing was quite optimistic, and after being quiet for a while, he spoke again:
"Mother, what is this key for her, let's keep it for ourselves. Dad, big brother, we don't have to be so pessimistic, don't you have Sister Ying's daughter-in-law. β
As soon as he finished saying this, it could be regarded as giving Xu Lao Crooked and the others a ray of light, but Xu Ling, who was sitting on the side, saw this and snorted coldly in his heart, it was really naΓ―ve, if people really wanted to help, they would have helped a long time ago. Make a "sigh", get up, and say:
"What Bing'er said is that there is also Sister Ying's son-in-law, father, mother, I'll leave first, it's not too early at this time, there are still a lot of things at home."
As soon as Lu Shi heard that his daughter was leaving, he hurriedly stopped him and said, "What's the hurry, the family has prepared a meal, don't go, it's not too late to leave after eating." β
"No, Yinchuan's father went out to buy goods in the morning, I have to go back quickly." After Xu Ling finished speaking, without waiting for his parents to reply, he left the old mansion with a step.
Old man Xu looked at the back of the eldest daughter, this heart sank little by little, he was delicate in the end, when the girl spoke, the disappointment in her eyes, he saw it.
Xu Zhenghu saw that the matter was almost over, turned his head to look at his mother, and said with a smile:
"Mother, it's not early, let's eat."
"Eat and eat, you know how to eat, is it because there is delicious food at home?" Lu Shi had a tiger face, but he was not angry. Xu Zhenghu naturally knew his mother, so he smiled and went out to arrange food.
Zheng stood aside and gave his head a look, and the couple left the upper room one after the other......

In the blink of an eye, on the sixth day of the lunar month, the farmer spoke well, and the jaws of the seventh and eighth months froze. Therefore, there is a custom in this small Bajiazi village, every day on the seventh day of the lunar month, sticky bean buns must be wrapped, and the eighth day of the lunar month is to boil Laba porridge.
Sticky bean buns, also known as soybean buns or bean buns. Once wrapped, store it in a jar outside the house. All craftsmanship comes from nature, which is a model of traditional natural food. Sticky bean buns are not only nutritionally balanced, but also delicious and anti-hunger, which is considered a fine grain in this dynasty.
Xu Miao did not go to the factory today, but boiled bean paste at home, pulled sticky face, and made preparations for making sticky bean buns tomorrow. Put the small beans that were collected in the summer in a pot, pick them one by one, and eat them at home, so you naturally have to be more careful.
Thinking of the scene of sticky bean buns in the old house in previous years, Xu Miao wanted to laugh very much. In the memory of the original owner, every year to wrap sticky bean buns, the old house will do it together, after all, one person can't wrap it, the basic child's job is to pick beans, and the Feng family in the second room is also in the team of picking beans.
Every time she finished picking, Lu would pick out the sand grains in it, and then there would be a burst of abuse, which is quite funny when I think about it now. Thinking of this, the corners of Xu Miao's mouth rose slightly, and the movements in her hands accelerated again.
The beans are picked, the cauldron is boiled with water, and the process of waiting for someone to open is Xu Miao to clean the beans. The water is boiled, the beans are boiled for an hour, and the beans are ripe before the next process can be done.
At this time, Xu Miao entered the house and began to close the accounts, and after the successful delivery, the factory once again grabbed the construction period. Ouyang Minrui wrote a letter a few days after returning to the capital, saying that the bag was selling very well in the capital, and he was also very satisfied with the new model given by Xu Ya, and he would buy another batch after the year.
When the Xu Miao sisters saw this letter, they were naturally very happy, the factory was in a hurry, but they saw that the New Year was coming, and the benefits of the New Year had to be sufficient. The daughters-in-law are not busy at home, they are all on the factory side, if they are searching, it will make people poke their backbones.
And the tofu shop also has to give welfare, now every day at home, as before, the amount of shipments has to triple, after all, at the end of the year, the business of various restaurants and grocery stores is easy to sell, and there are many goods.
In the past few days, seeing Uncle Chunzhu and them lose weight, Xu Miao is very distressed every time she sees it. Honest people are not lazy in their work, and they are really worthy of the wages they give, and they are more likely to exceed the wages they give.
Xiao Nizi thought of this, and first wrote an extra string of money at the Tofu Fang Welfare.
Everyone has it, impartially.
And then there is this real thing, one piece of pork per person, two catties should be enough, the tofu workshop plus the factory, it is estimated that a whole pig is enough, in this way, it is enough to produce one from the three pigs at home.
Then there is the three-foot wool green cloth, which has raw materials in this factory, which are cheap and of good quality.
These are two things, the factory is enough, but the tofu factory is a little insufficient, after all, the neighborhood lives, people don't have to worry about their own work, Uncle Chunwang's daily accounts are even clearer and clearer.
In addition to the same, there are four things, and it looks bright. But what?!
Thinking in her heart, Xu Ya came back from work, entered the outhouse, and saw the cauldron boiling hot, Xiao Nizi hurriedly used a rag to surround the edge of the pot, don't run away from the heat. This is done in the countryside, every household does this, and the rag is the slender kind, and it is just right to surround it.
After getting it done, Xu Ya entered the house, saw the eldest sister in a daze, frowned, and whispered:
"Sister, what do you want?"
Xu Miao was startled by the sudden voice, turned her head to look, smiled and tapped her forehead, and said:
"When did you come back, why didn't you squeak?"
"Just came back, I don't see you in a daze, just ask." Xu Ya looked at the ...... as she said
