Chapter 22 Life Must Have a Head
When the people on the side of the village road saw He Sanniang coming, they all knew that this guy was a professional slanderer, so they got up and hid far away.
The eldest girls and little daughters-in-law also laughed in a low voice: "You can pull it down, although that Xie Ya is the same as the father and mother who are not stingy, but you also have to think about it, where did your sheep come from?" And the face to say people? ”
Being snubbed like this, He Sanniang was angry, and walked directly home, indignant in her heart, she must let Fugui bring back the duck money to manage the cannon family, and hire a car to go back to the town with the money, and have no money to pay for the duck money?
The carriage soon passed through Hexi Village Road, crossed the creek and came to the gate of Xie Ya's house in Hedong, and the owner of the car dragged the little white horse directly to the yard.
Looking at this dilapidated farmhouse courtyard, the car owner sighed, watched the family finish moving the things on the car, and hurriedly reached out and took out a bag of silver in his arms and handed it to Xie Huaxiang.
"These ten taels of silver are sent to you by the master, hurry up and accept it, I'll go back and pay it."
As he spoke, he put it in the hands of Xie Huaxiang, who looked surprised, and turned around and led the carriage out.
Seeing this, Xie Ya next to her hurriedly dragged down the money bag from her father's hand, caught up with the car boss and handed it over: "Go back and thank you master, I saved him not for the silver, or for the effort, and today I am very grateful for sending us home in a big car and a small car, and the silver is not needed." ”
Saying that, Xie Ya looked at the money bag in her hand, although she was reluctant, she couldn't do this, it was really an insult to her professional ethics.
"It's... I can't be the Lord, aren't you embarrassed for me? ”
Seeing this, Xu Meili wanted to get the silver back, but she was embarrassed, and looked at her daughter anxiously.
Xie Ya said: "Uncle, you go quickly, we earn money with conscience, and when we go home, we will tell your master as I say." ”
In the end, the owner of the car hurried back to the town with the silver to hand in the errand.
The family hurriedly packed up and moved all the things they bought back to the house, Xu Meili sat on the kang and sighed: "Hey, these ten taels of silver may do a lot of things, but I also think about it, Yaya is doing the right thing, we can't take the hard-won money, it is better to earn some hard-earned money safely and steadily, and it is true that the family will live well." ”
Xie Huaxiang saw that his daughter-in-law had bought a big iron pot, and directly outside against the windowsill and began to look for stones to build the stove.
With a large population, two pots can cook and cook at the same time.
Xie Ya saw that her father was building a stove, and she was busy making a fire and cooking, and she didn't eat at noon, although her younger brother Xiyuan ate popcorn, but that thing was not eaten as a meal, and she was already hungry and tired in her mother's arms and fell asleep.
Xu Meili gently put down her son and turned to the ground.
It's good now, there is rice and white noodles at home, Xie Ya directly uses the aluminum basin to wash the rice and cook, steamed the rice and puts it in the pot, and sees a few eggs that my mother bought, and I beat a few eggs again, and the steamed bowl of egg paste is also good, and I put on the lid of the pot and burn the fire directly.
Mother Xu Meili washed a large piece of pork, cut it into small cubes, and fed it with salt.
When I went out, I saw that Hua Xiang had already set up the stove, cut the chimney with a stone, patted his thigh and said, "Dead ghost, why don't you buy a pot lid for me, there is a pot without a lid, but what should I do?" ”
Seeing this, Xie Huaxiang hurriedly said: "Silly girl, you scared me, this little thing will give you such a worry, really, you forgot what your husband's background is." ”
After a few words of erecting the chimney, he turned around and found a broken saw blade from the house, and found two boards in the yard, and began to repair it.
Xu Meili hurriedly installed the newly bought iron pot, filled it with firewood to make a fire, brushed the pot, and then put the freshly cut meat skin in the pot and began to rub the pot, and cut the fat cut off from the pork into small pieces and put it in the pot to refine oil.
When the oil residue comes out, the lard in the pot is found in a bowl and served, and the cut meat pieces are put in the pot and stir-fried, plus oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, cane sugar, plus some green onions, ginger and garlic, and stir-fry to get out the oil.
Just about to add a little water, Xie Huaxiang also made a simple wooden pot lid, took it, sniffed and looked at the braised pork in the pot, swallowed his saliva, and said with a smile: "I still have an appetite, or my daughter-in-law cooks well, speaking of which, I can be regarded as a blessed person, and I can stand on your virtuous and good daughter-in-law who can cook. ”
"your cannon, I've served you for half my life, and you'll be in charge of me for the rest of my life."
Xie Ya had just finished cleaning the house, brushed the dishes and chopsticks she bought, and went out to see two people scattering dog food all over the yard, and hurriedly pinched a small bowl of oil residue while eating and said: "You two pay attention, you have to carry some daughter on your back for dog food, greasy and crooked." ”
Xie Huaxiang smiled and went to clean up the yard, Xu Meili glared at her daughter, and said with a smile: "What do you still say, you have to know that if you are of such a size, you should also consider finding your mother-in-law's family, and be careful to sell it for you for money, but seeing that you are so thin, it is better to raise it for two more years to exchange more money for flowers." ”
Xie Ya had a bitter face, "My mother, you are really ruthless, we can't keep pace with this era, don't you feel sorry for your daughter?" Don't worry, I'm not looking for my in-laws' house here, in case you swoop back again, what should I do? ”
At this time, the old sow at the door had been taken home by my father, and the servant of the Liu family in the town turned around and went back.
Xie Ya ran over happily, looked at a group of lively little pig babies, and shouted: "Mother, look at it, these pigs grow up, you can go back to your old business and sell your pork." ”
Xu Meili hurriedly shook her head with a rattle, "I can't do it, my mother and I haven't killed chickens, let alone killing pigs, don't spare your mother." ”
As he spoke, he put the little pig under the sow's belly and helped find milk to eat.
"Anyway, Daddy, look at it, whether our yard has vitality, although the yard of the house is dilapidated, it is a good thing to have a head."
Seeing her daughter say this, Xu Meili thought about it and said, "Look at you, you are as thin as a monkey, you said that you went out to work, who dares to ask you?" The green bud rice that fell in our field will be sold out in the next big set, what do we have to rely on to eat? Isn't it good that these pigs will be sold for a good price during the Chinese New Year? ”
"Well, what is life, there is a rush is life, there is hope is a good life, we are in the process of going to a rich life, the hard struggle in the middle is also very meaningful."
Xie Ya began to feel something, and said: "Mother, I must change my novel again, and write the affairs of our family into the novel, I believe it will be a big hit, isn't this also a good deal?" ”
Xie Huaxiang hurriedly shook his head and said with a bitter face: "My girl, don't be excited again, if it weren't for the novel you wrote, our family wouldn't have come to this house, but it would have made your parents miserable." ”
Xie Ya laughed and said: "Look at what worries you, didn't you say that you are a cannon, and nothing is difficult?" ”
For a while, the small courtyard was full of laughter.
At this time, the aroma of braised pork came out again, Xie Ya got up and said: "We hurriedly eat, and then we will crush the coarse grain at home and feed it to the pigs, in short, we can't let the pigs go hungry." ”
When she looked at her daughter saying this, her eyes lit up, and both of them nodded, "Our family will listen to Yaya in the future, what you say is what, hurry up and eat, this stomach is hungry and shriveled, how can you have the spirit to raise pigs and write novels." ”
Just as a family of four was sitting at the kang table, eating white rice with relish, eating braised pork and steamed eggs with red oil, a small bowl of sweet potato Jiehua stone walked in outside the door.
In the morning, the daughter-in-law Guo Lixia didn't let the eldest brother's Xiyuan into the house, and she really didn't want to go, so after eating, she secretly came over with some sweet potatoes.
When I entered the yard, I smelled the fragrance of braised pork, and frowned, what's wrong with my eldest brother's house? Last time, the second brother and sister-in-law brought a bowl of duck meat here and said that it was the dead duck of Li Fugui's family, where did they get the pork this time? Did you buy it in town today?
When he saw the sow in the yard and a litter of happy piglets, he was confused and went straight into the house.
"Big brother, my mother said to send you some sweet potatoes."
Xie Huashi put the sweet potato on the table as he spoke, but saw a big bowl of braised pork on the table, the oily braised pork was really fragrant, and there was a big bowl of steamed egg paste, which was really good to eat.
"Hua Shi is here, let's see if it's still a family, I think about my big brother when I eat sweet potatoes."
Xie Huaxiang got up while laughing and beckoned: "Hurry up and eat something here, see how fragrant the braised pork your sister-in-law makes." ”
