Chapter 18 Delivering Meat
After Lu Yu returned to the village with brisk steps, the sun had not yet set, and the Shu family, who had been working in the fields, had not yet returned.
When I came to the courtyard, I vaguely heard an uncomfortable humming sound coming from Shu Ning's room.
This meal is not light, and the sisters are estimated to not be able to get out of bed for ten days and half a month.
After Lu Yu returned to the room with the cloth, Shu Chen was cleaning the house by himself, and Lu Yu was stunned: "You do these jobs yourself?"
Shu Chen said: "I'm not in good health, and I can't work in the field, so I can't let my mother and grandmother take care of me for everything." ”
Although he is not good at words on weekdays, he will do his best not to cause trouble to his family.
Lu Yu sighed, and said in his heart that it was no wonder that Shu Chen's house was exceptionally clean, it turned out that he had cleaned it up by himself.
After Shu Chen finished sweeping the ground, he put down the broom in his hand, and suddenly looked at Lu Yu coldly and said, "Li Xiaojiu, should you explain the matter of Zhang Lingling's silver?
After the family left, the more Shu Chen thought about it, the more she felt that Li Xiaojiu was terrible, she had hidden the copper plate to Shu Ning Shuqing last night, and when Zhang Lingling came to find them today, she deliberately pretended to tease them.
"I ......" Lu Yu thought about whether to find a reason to deceive him, Shu Chen suddenly said sharply: "Li Xiaojiu, you'd better explain it to me clearly, otherwise, we won't continue to keep you thinking that such a vicious person is at home and harms the people in my family!"
Lu Yu: "......"
Shu Chen seemed to be really shocked by her, this was a smart child in front of him, Lu Yu looked at him lightly and said: "You only saw me hiding copper plates, haven't you thought about why Zhang Lingling's copper plates came to me for no reason?"
Shu Chen: "......"
Seeing that he didn't answer, Lu Yu said again: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if you want to drive me away, it's just a matter of one sentence, but I'm afraid it will be in line with your uncle's family." ”
Originally, Lu Yu understood Shu Chen's young age and didn't want to talk to him about these things, but this kid is a ghost, and he was also a victim in his previous life, and his end was not much better than himself.
Lu Yu felt that if there was someone in this family to help him, it might be much more convenient.
Shu Chen stared at her for a while, and suddenly said, "I won't drive you away, if you do anything in the future, can you tell me?"
Lu Yu smiled, took out the two books from his arms and handed them to Shu Chen: "Okay, from today onwards, you will be my younger brother, these two books are considered a meeting gift." ”
The word younger brother made Shu Chen's eyebrows frown slightly, but he didn't say anything, took the book and said, "Where did you get the money?"
"I secretly dug up Ganoderma lucidum and sold it, Shu Chen, the two of us will be a gang in the future, don't tell your family. Lu Yu coaxed him in a childlike tone: "You keep this book well, I'll go cook." ”
Lu Yu came to the yard, washed the snake pickled fruit picked yesterday, pounded it into juice, went to the chicken coop and touched two eggs to break it up, poured oil and sugar and fruit juice, added white flour, and after mixing evenly, kneaded it into the shape of various cute little animals, and put it in a pot to steam.
Looking at the oil cylinder and noodle tank that had already seen the bottom, Lu Yu sighed silently in his heart, the Shu family is really poor, and when the Shu Wang family comes back, seeing that she has wasted so many ingredients, she will be angry again.
Sure enough, as Lu Yu expected, when the sun was about to set, the Shu family returned home one after another, and Shu Wang's family saw that the eggs laid by the hen were gone, and the oil and white flour were much less, so he wailed, rolled up his sleeves and rushed into the kitchen and said: "Li Xiaojiu, let you cook, who made you waste food so much?!"
Although the sweet smell in the pot is indeed attractive, Shu Wang's family is even more distressed about food, and before the autumn harvest, the family has no extra silver to buy noodles and oil.
Lu Yu was pinched twice by Shu Wang's family, frowning and breaking free: "Grandma Shu, I went to the market today, and I saw many dim sum sellers on the roadside, so I thought I would try it myself, and the silver would come back at that time." ”
"Bah, why do you think it's so beautiful? Can you sell this thing for money?"
What kind of sin did she create to recruit Li Xiaojiu to her house?
When dinner was almost cooked, Zhang Lingling's mother and daughter, who were late, came to Li Xiaojiu angrily to settle the account.
The mother and daughter originally wanted to put on a show for this little slut, but they didn't want her to wait for them.
I really don't understand anything at all!
"Li Xiaojiu, get out!"
"What's wrong, Aunt Sun?"
Sun raised his hand and wiped his sweat and said, "What do you mean, ah? Without waiting for me and Lingling, I ran back." ”
Lu Yu smiled obediently: "I haven't waited for you, why can't you come back first?"
"But we've been waiting for you!" Zhang Lingling lied.
"If you wait for me, do I have to wait for you?"
Zhang Lingling, who was blocked by Lu Yu, was speechless, her face was pale, Widow Shu glared at Lu Ling, and said as a peacemaker: "Okay Lingling, don't be like her, you don't know what the Li family is like." ”
Sun's angry hands crossed his hips and scolded: "I have never seen such an ignorant girl, and those scoundrels of the Li family can raise such little scoundrels!"
Lu Yu yawned lazily: "Do you have anything else?" ”
"Wait......" Zhang Lingling said, "You don't think we're here to find you, right? ”
With that, he pulled out a large piece of pork from the basket.
The Shu family, who had not seen pork for a long time, instantly lit up their eyes: "Ah, such a big piece of meat, it costs a lot of silver, right?"
"It's not a lot of money, it's only fifty copper plates. Sun waved his hand generously and said, "My family is not short of these two money, and the most important thing is to make up for Ah Chen." ”
Originally, the Sun family didn't want to buy pork for Shu Chen, and she couldn't stand her daughter's pleading, she thought about it, and there was indeed no second Shu Chen in the village who could read and write, so how could she not see that her daughter wanted to be in the limelight in front of the Shu family and invisibly suppress Li Xiaojiu's idea?
Li Mei secretly calculated in her heart how much she could get from this big meat house, came to Sun's side with a smile, and said: "It's still your family, the life is rich and the people are also big, and I still think about Ah Chen everywhere, unlike some people, who don't understand anything, they look ugly, and they are poor and sour, but fortunately they didn't marry into the door, just pressing on our family, they can't stand it." ”
Li Mei is a thoughtful person, and she is still a person who has come over, Zhang Lingling's careful thinking guessed a lot, because of a piece of pork, she mercilessly arranged the landing.
Zhang Lingling smiled with satisfaction: "Didn't Li Xiaojiu marry Brother Shu Chen, don't be angry, my mother and I will go back first." ”
After the Shu family sent Sun's mother and daughter out in a good voice, Li Mei casually threw the pork to Lu Yu: "Let's make a good meal tonight, just to make up for Ah Chen." ”
