The old Song family is not poor.

Song Laohan and the Niu family have worked hard for most of their lives, saving a lot of family business, and the married daughter can take out 20 acres of land as a dowry, and the family background is in the middle of the town.

But from Niu's to Dong's, they are all as stingy as one color, not to mention the hot leftovers at home, and there are only thirty boiled meat during the New Year, and the dumplings eaten on the first day of the new year are still vegetarian.

Such a family categorically refused to buy additional mutton to eat when they were not entertaining guests, but Jinbao was the eldest grandson of the old Song family, and the Dong family couldn't be entangled by him, so he hit the idea on the sister-in-law.

It's not that a family doesn't enter a family, Dong and Song Haoshi are a natural pair, Song Haoshi is now the master of the house, and all the family is his own, when he thinks that his father, mother, brothers and sisters will eat him and drink him, his flesh hurts.

Song Xiuxiu has a goat, milking goat milk and cooking it for Yuanyuan to drink every day, Jinbao may not be able to get two mouthfuls when he drools on the side, and Song Haoshi may not feel comfortable.

Sure enough, as soon as Dong mentioned it, Song Haoshi immediately decided to kill the ewe and eat meat, ignoring that it was his niece's rations.

Song Xiuxiu was turning over Niu's, lest the bedsores on her body grow more and more, and Song Haoshi found a hemp rope to put on the sheep's neck, and wanted to pull it to kill outside the door.

This sheep was not familiar with Song Haoshi, and he bleated in a panic, Song Xiuxiu only tossed the ewe as Jinbao, and said in the house: "Jinbao, don't get that sheep, go back and give you hot goat milk to drink." ”

Jin Bao was drooling at the sheep, where did he take her words to heart? Song Haoshi didn't stop doing anything, dragged the sheep out of the house, and asked Dong to get him a knife, and the husband and wife held down the body of the ewe, and directly wiped it on the neck, and took half a basin of blood.

Song Xiuxiu heard that the sheep stopped barking, and when Jinbao went to do something else, she wiped Niu's body and teased Yuanyuan for a while, before putting Yuanyuan on the inside of Niu's bed, and splashed it with water herself.

As soon as I stepped out of the door, I saw Song Haoshi in full swing unraveling mutton in the yard, throwing a piece of skin in front of him, his white hair was stained with blood clots, and he could make a sheepskin mattress after washing it a few times.

Song Xiuxiu was taken aback, and first comforted herself: I'm afraid that it wasn't the eldest brother who bought and slaughtered it. Look at the yard under the trees, where is there any trace of the ewe?

is turning into meat in Song Haoshi's hands, isn't it the ewe that milks her daughter?

Song Xiuxiu screamed: "Big brother, what are you doing?"

Song Haoshi was covered with blood, and said to Song Xiuxiu: "This sheep is also fodder to raise for nothing, it is better to slaughter and eat meat, don't worry, you will be able to eat meat today." ”

Song Xiuxiu can't remember how long she hasn't eaten meat, but it doesn't matter if she eats it or not, what matters is what Yuanyuan eats from now on?

Song Haoshi was a little weak-hearted and explained: "I see that milk dolls eat rice soup very well, we Jinbao also ate rice soup when we were children, and now we are white and fat." ”

Dong followed and pouted: "That's it, what a delicate milk baby, you still have to eat milk?" As she spoke, she counted how much she suffered when she was pregnant with Jinbao, who was weaned at the age of half a year after birth, and she cooked rice soup every day......

Song Xiuxiu couldn't help crying: "My circle is less than a hundred days, you are an uncle and aunt, you have to see if she starves to death?"

Dong said with a smile: "Why are you going to cook mutton for the dolls today? According to me, don't be too careful, it's nothing for the villain to be delicate, too delicate will damage the blessing, and you can't raise it carefully." ”

This aunt didn't have a good word in her mouth, Song Xiuxiu is now dependent on her brother and sister-in-law, and she no longer dares to speak loudly when she is not married, so she has to swallow her anger and watch them kill a good sheep and stew meat.

With Dong's stinginess, naturally he won't cook too much meat, chop a leg of mutton in two, take one to cook, and hang the rest under the eaves. Jin Bao said: "Mother, cook more meat!"

"Yours are indispensable!" This half of the leg of mutton, the meat is naturally Song Haoshi and Jinbao's, and the Dong family has worked hard and has made great achievements, and he can also get two mouthfuls of broth to drink.

As for Song Laohan, he will have to rely on Song Haoshi to live in the future, and it will be good to give him a bite of food to eat, and he still wants to eat meat?

Not to mention the two of Niu and Song Xiuxiu, who ate idle meals, let them smell the aroma of mutton, and Dong felt that it was a loss.

Niu didn't know what the aroma from the kitchen was, so it was easy to smell the meat, and he was so happy that he smiled, hoping to have mutton soup to drink. Song Xiuxiu turned her back to wipe her tears, not daring to let her mother see it.

Yuanyuan is still a milk baby, he sleeps when he is sleepy, cries when he is hungry, and nothing else. As soon as she cried, Song Xiuxiu began to worry: The sheep has been killed by the eldest brother, where can I get food for the child?

I couldn't coax it for a long time, so I had to carry Yuanyuan to the kitchen to cook rice soup. Jinbao was lying on the edge of the stove, staring at the meat in the pot without turning his eyes, Dong picked up the leg of mutton with chopsticks, tore off a piece and stuffed it into his son's mouth, shook his hand so hotly, and said in his mouth: "Eat quietly, don't let your third uncle see it." ”

Jinbao ate with a mouth full of oil, and when he saw Song Xiuxiu coming in, he glanced at her proudly, turned his head and went out.

Dong asked Song Xiuxiu to catch and tear meat for his son to eat, his face was a little sneering, and he beckoned to his sister-in-law and said, "It's not time to eat yet, what are you doing here?"

Song Xiuxiu didn't want to quarrel with her sister-in-law anymore, so she whispered: "Yuanyuan is hungry this time, I'll cook some rice soup for her." ”

"Wait. Dong took a clay jar with one ear and opened the cabinet to find rice.

She pinched a handful of rice and took it out, almost counting it one by one, and finally counted out more than a hundred grains, put them in the jar, and poured the rest back into the rice bag, closed the cabinet door firmly and said, "Go and cook rice soup for your nephew's daughter, don't starve her." ”

Song Xiuxiu didn't take the clay pot, and stared at Dong, Dong's puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"This rice is too little, I'm afraid it won't be enough to eat. Song Xiuxiu said. Dong laughed: "It can be seen that you have never raised dolls, and you don't know how much they eat." If this amount of rice is not enough, wouldn't our family want to make her eat poor when she grows up? We poor families have neither a tofu shop nor friends who have to open a silk and satin shop in the city

Those extra rice noodles are wasted?"

Dong said and put the clay pot on the stove, "If you stutter, stop it, dislike this and dislike that, and think of yourself as a talented lady?" Song Xiuxiu's eyes were red with anger, and she stood there with her fists clenched, her chest rising and falling. Suddenly Yuanyuan screamed "ahhh

Two miles.

Yuanyuan is used to eating goat's milk, and then he is very unaccustomed to eating rice soup, shaking his head and refusing to eat, so it is easy to swallow a mouthful, and spit out half a mouthful, which is very difficult.

Song Xiuxiu held her with one hand, and with the other hand, she wanted to scoop up the rice soup that was not much thicker than water, blow it and feed it to her daughter's mouth. As soon as Yuan Yuan made a mess, she was in a hurry, and several spoonfuls of rice soup were splashed on her body.

Dong Shi saw it and said cool words: "Yo, it's strange that there is little rice, so I have to give clothes to eat first." ”

Yuanyuan didn't get goat's milk for a long time, and his stomach was so hungry that he had to reluctantly swallow the rice soup. The rice grains had already been boiled and bloomed, and Song Xiuxiu took a spoon to crush them and then stirred them with the rice soup, so that she could eat a few bites.

However, Yuanyuan's appetite is not small, and the rice soup is not enough to eat, so she still hummed and chirped to ask Song Xiuxiu for food, and Song Xiuxiu went to find food for her, so she had to pat her back and coax her to sleep.

When I went to Song's house for dinner, sure enough, the mutton was all in the bowl of Jinbao and Song Haoshi, and there was a big bone in the bowl of Song Laohan, and even the shredded meat on the bone was picked by the Dong family. Rao is like this, Song Laohan also clipped the bones to his precious eldest grandson: "Knock open the bones, there is bone marrow in them." ”

Song Haojie was unreasonable, seeing that he had little meat, he took the bowl to the kitchen, copied the spoon and fished it in the pot for a long time, only a little residue was left in the pot, where was the shadow of meat? Dong took precautions for this hand, and divided all the meat before the meal.

Song Haojie stomped his feet to the dinner table, and after a while, he heard Jinbao crying heartbreakingly, Dong hurriedly went to take a look, but Song Haojie didn't have anything to eat, and he didn't ask Jinbao to eat meat raw, so he spit a big mouthful of spit into Jinbao's bowl.

Jinbao cried and cried and slipped out to the ground to roll, Dong hurriedly pulled his son up, and promised to cook meat for him to eat again, and finally coaxed it.

Old Man Song was so angry that his face turned pale, and he said angrily: "What do you look like, third child!"

Song Haojie said: "Dad, now you don't talk well, you don't have meat to eat, do you care about me?"

Song Laohan was so angry that he trembled, but since Niu's illness and all the family affairs were handed over to the Dong family, his life has been worse day by day, seeing that Song Haoshi didn't listen to him, he still had to rely on Song Haoshi, how dare he blame Jinbao?

Song Haojie pulled Jinbao's bowl and snorted and ate indifferently, Dong knew that Song Haojie was a bastard, so he didn't dare to fight him, so he hurriedly pulled Jinbao to the kitchen: she still hid a small half bowl of meat.

Jinbao held the meat that Dong had just pulled out from the depths of the cupboard and ate it to his heart's content, Song Xiuxiu didn't even take a bite of the soup, but she didn't dare to speak: her father and mother didn't have anything to eat, where was her turn to speak?

Since this day, there have been more and more stumbles, and every time he wants to get something to eat for Yuanyuan, Dong will make irresponsible remarks, as if Yuanyuan alone can eat the rations of the whole family.

The milk baby was first raised by goat's milk to be white and fat, and only thin rice soup was drunk for ten days, and seeing that she had lost weight, Song Xiuxiu hugged her in her hand, only to feel that it was scary.

Song Xiuxiu had to cry with Song Laohan, hoping that her father would have a little bit of love for her. But Song Laohan only sighed and said to her: "Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are the people who set up a household, we have to rely on them to raise, just eat some of them, what else to choose?"

Song Xiuxiu said: "If Yuanyuan can eat enough, I won't pick, Dad, look at it, what was she like when I just went home, and what is she like now?"

Saying that, he handed Yuan Yuan to Song Laohan, the milk baby is yellow and thin, and his eyes are not as flexible as before, if it weren't for the good foundation in his mother's womb, where would he still have his life when he was hungry these days? Song Laohan didn't feel sorry for his daughter and granddaughter, but these two were outsiders after all, and if he didn't give him a pension in the future, he wouldn't be able to offend Song Haoshi for them. He had a clear account in his heart, so he just shook his head: "You are more obedient and less noisy." ”
