Chapter Forty-Nine: Hob Meat
"Fu Niu'er, this is your New Year's money.
Can you take it yourself, can't and are not afraid, and grandma.
Grandma saved it for you and made it a dowry in the future. ”
Jia Yin pressed the pillow tightly, and his eyes were shining.
Mrs. Li laughed and covered her granddaughter with a small quilt.
When her granddaughter fell asleep, she sneaked around, and sure enough, the pillow was empty.
She patted her chest and landed lightly on the ground.
In the middle of the night, the big pot at home boiled water, and the raw dumplings fell down.
Outside the house, firecrackers were set off in every house, and the crisp sound kicked off the prelude to the new year.
And Jia Yin, who made a small fortune, is also a two-year-old child.
Although, she was actually born less than six months into the world.
But her recipe has made a qualitative leap because of her two-year-old fame.
Egg custard, rotten porridge, and fruit puree are finally all edible.
So much so that she happily kicked her calves every day, and every time she ate, she had to make noise to occupy a place.
The first day of the new year greets the new year, the second day of the first year of the new year to return to the mother's house, and the fifth day of the first year to send God.
The New Year always flies quickly, and ordinary days are the hardest.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, the year is over.
It is rare to see meat on the dinner table of every household, and children can beat twice when they make mistakes.
On this day, the Li family sat around and gossiped.
Although it had not snowed before, the house was well built, and I was not afraid of snow pressure at all, let alone ventilation.
This winter, the family lived very comfortably.
Mrs. Li thought of her kindness, so she nagged a few words.
"Fifteen send lights, and I will definitely send you the brightest two in front of Uncle Zhang's grave.
Also, it was too far away from Mrs. Sun's house to give a New Year's gift.
Without the silver from Mrs. Sun's help, how could our family buy such a good yard. ”
Everyone nodded, and Li Laosi said, "If you go to the neighborhood in the future, you must visit Mrs. Sun." ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she remembered something.
"It's spring, the family wants to farm, you try to stay at home.
Over there, it's okay to let Jiayi run more. ”
Li Laosi was obedient, and he really couldn't rest assured that his family was busy with spring ploughing, so he responded happily.
Jiayi remembered that he was going out with the dart game by himself, and he was really excited and apprehensive.
Jiaren patted his younger brother on the shoulder a few times, and his heart was a little sour.
He was the elder brother and was supported by the whole family at the college, but the younger brother had to go out and about.
"Mother, what are we going to plant in the spring of our ten acres of land?"
Li Laosan repaired a mazar and asked casually.
Li Lao Er said, "Most of the people in the village plant sorghum, should our family also plant some?" ”
Mrs. Li had planned it a long time ago.
"Ten acres of land, six acres of sorghum, three acres of millet, and finally one acre of sweet potatoes."
Everyone has no objections, sorghum has to pay taxes, and the leftovers, plus millet and sweet potatoes, are enough for the family to eat for a year.
If you have the rest of the income at home, buy some japonica rice noodles to improve your life better.
Since then, the matter has been settled, and Jiayin is lying in her grandmother's arms, listening to gossip while trying to work in the space.
After the year and the year, she was not lazy, and now the corn and potatoes in the small courtyard of the space have been harvested.
She was trying to grind some of the corn into flour, and the four pigs needed rations, and even the lambs and ducks and geese needed occasional feeding.
But the more delicate these tasks are, the more mental energy they need to expend.
So much so that she always fell asleep again when she was busy...
Mrs. Li looked down and saw her granddaughter sleeping, so she was about to carry her into the house.
As a result, without waiting to get up, Wu Cuihua came back from outside.
Mrs. Li frowned, displeased.
It is taboo to cry out during the New Year, so the most naughty children can avoid the broom pimple of the old lady these days.
During this time, Wu Cuihua was lazy again, and the family endured it, and no one said a word.
But now that the year is over, Wu Cuihua is still like this, and she is a little unsure of what to do.
Wu Lao Er naturally saw it, so he shouted Jiayi.
"Your brother is about to start school in two days, you can help your brother pick up his luggage."
This is to support his son, and he plans to clean up Wu Cuihua.
Jiayi was a little confused, but he was dragged into the Westinghouse by Jiaren.
Li Lao Er went back to the east wing, and sure enough, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wu Cuihua rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
Li Lao Er came in suddenly, she was frightened and wanted to cover up, but she ripped the package more and more.
"Wu Ergou is back again." Li Lao Er's face was cold, and he was very sure.
Wu Cuihua waved her hand frantically, wanting to lie, but when she met Li Laoer's eyes, she let it go.
Simply break the jar and break it, regardless of it.
She pulled her hair directly and rolled around on the kang.
"I'm not alive! Kill me!
I'm just such a younger brother, you eat meat and drink wine for the New Year, he has no home or business outside, and he freezes half to death.
How can I watch it! I'm dead too!
Go underground and let my father see how ruthless the good son-in-law he chooses. ”
Li Lao Er frowned, she cried so much that she had a headache, neither beating nor scolding.
It's so loud that the old lady and her sons have to hear it and follow it.
He simply took out the two taels of silver given by his wife during the New Year.
"Take it to Wu Ergou and tell him that if you dare to run to stir up the peace again, you will discount his legs!"
Wu Cuihua turned over for a long time and found nothing, but she didn't expect the silver to be held in Li Laoer's arms.
She cursed in her heart, but she didn't hesitate to pick up the silver.
She wiped her tears twice, but she didn't dare to go wild again.
"Ergou is really helpless, I will give him the silver.
Let him settle down and find a regular job..."
Li Lao Er was impatient to listen to this, and waved his hand, "I don't care what he does, even if he begs for food, don't ask for food in front of our house!" ”
Wu Cuihua pursed her lips and opened the door directly and went out.
In the stove room, Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru glanced at the courtyard door, and they both sighed.
Wu Cuihua just doesn't change, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that a good family will have to be dispersed.
But they are younger brothers and daughters-in-law, and these words are not easy to say.
At such a time, there was a sudden noise of gongs and drums at the entrance of the village, and the whole village was noisy.
Like a rabbit, Jia Xi Jia An ran out and soon came back to report the news.
"Grandma, someone is twisting Yangge at the entrance of the village, go and see it."
Mrs. Li stood at the door, a little hesitant.
Such a bustle, you can only see it once or twice during the New Year, and it's a pity to miss it.
But her granddaughter was sleeping, and she was worried.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru came out of the stove, and they all rushed to stay and watch the children.
Mrs. Li felt sorry for her daughter-in-law's youth and worked at home all day, so she should go to see the excitement at this time.
Fortunately, Jiaren came out of the house and smiled.
"Grandma, auntie, you all go and see the fun.
I read a book while watching my sister sleep. ”
Jiaren is always steady, and everyone is relieved, so they rushed to the entrance of the village together.
For a while, there was Jiaren left in the Li family's courtyard, and there was good news from a good sleep...
In the grove behind the village, Wu Cuihua was training Wu Ergou.
"I was beaten hard before I asked for two taels of silver for you.
You must not gamble this time, and after paying off the debt, hurry up and find a serious errand. ”
Wu Ergou snatched the two taels of silver into his hand and pouted indifferently.
"I also want to find a serious errand, but these two taels of silver are not enough to pay off the debt.
You go find me a few taels, or I'll have to gamble on my luck again and see if I can turn it over." ”
"You, you're going to me off!" Wu Cuihua jumped to her feet.
If she is killed, she will not dare to ask for silver again, otherwise she will really be divorced.
"I don't care," Wu Ergou is more relainous than her, the same as hob meat, "If there is no silver, I will gamble again." ”
Wu Cuihua was forced to be anxious, and hammered her younger brother twice, but she was reluctant.
Looking at the bustle of the village from afar, thinking that there should be no one at home, she was ruthless and quietly went home.
