Chapter 117: Relatives

The sugar water eggs made by Sister-in-law Ding are really good.

When you take a bite, it is tender and raw, with the sweetness of sugar water, lingering in the mouth.

She remembered that when she was sick when she was a child, Lu's mother in the welfare home would make her two sugar water eggs and put a small spoon of sugar.

This is a special delicacy that all children in welfare homes can only enjoy when they are sick.

Lu Yangge didn't expect that just two sugar water eggs would make her eat the taste of what she had been thinking about in the welfare home back then.

Aunt Ding accompanied Lu Xiaosi to eat sugar water eggs, and by the way, she talked about the recent events at home.

"Your third sister-in-law has a body, and your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law do a lot of work at home. However, when the autumn comes, your fourth brother will come back and marry you a sister-in-law. ”

"The daughter-in-law that your fourth brother said is from Dayang Village, the four brothers in the family, just such an old girl, I heard that the needlework is good, and the craftsmanship on the stove is also good. Last time, your father said he wanted to buy a cow, but this adult cow is not easy to buy. Not to mention the big cow, just the little calf seedling, if there is, it will have been determined a long time ago. Fortunately, your fourth sister-in-law has a cow, and her cow has just had a cub. Your uncle has already agreed with his in-laws, and he will bring it to your family after two months of raising his calves, and then your family will be able to use it for another year and a half, which is better than the big cow and does not cost money. ”

"Your uncle also showed you a big green mule, still young, just over two years old, and the teeth are just right. Your uncle also said today that when he went back to lunch, he would take your father to see it, and if he was satisfied, he would buy it back, just for use. ”

"Your second brother and third brother should be home tomorrow, and this time when you come back, you can rest for half a month. When the time comes, let me go to your house to help collect the grain......"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaosi interjected: "Then what is it, my father has already agreed with Zhang Sanbo and them, and when the time comes, they will collect grain for my family first, and calculate the money for them according to the number of acres." Seven families, twenty or so strong laborers, if you really want to put it away, it will be fast. My second brother and third brother haven't come back for half a year this time, how tired they are, let them rest at home. ”

"Tired, tired." Aunt Ding waved her hand indifferently, "When you go back, just tell your father that their brothers are like their father and have a lot of strength." When the time comes, don't be polite to their brothers, do whatever you have to do, just like the children of the family. ”

Lu Yangge couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll go back and tell my father to prepare a few more sickles." When the time comes, when the new grain comes down, I will also send some new grain to my aunt to taste. ”

"Okay, I'll wait to taste your family's new grain." Aunt Ding was also not polite, "Don't prepare a sickle or something, we have it in our family." Your uncle also had land in the countryside, and at that time, the children were small, and the stalls in the town couldn't leave, so the few acres of land in the countryside were given to his brothers to plant, and they gave our family some rations every year. ”

As he spoke, he heard a creak, and the half-hidden door was pushed open.

A man who was five or six points similar to Uncle Ding, carrying a broken sack, led a tall and thin woman, who was holding a boy of five or six years old, and the three of them swaggered into the door.

Aunt Ding sat in the hall and saw someone coming, and her face, which was originally as kind as dough, immediately changed color.

Immediately, the voice of Ding's second sister-in-law sounded in the courtyard: "Third uncle, why are you here?" ”

Why do you rush to eat every time?

"Come and see your father." Third Uncle Ding smiled and handed the sack in his hand to Second Sister-in-law Ding, "These are some wild beans picked by your third aunt, your father likes to eat them, I specially brought some for your father." ”

"Third uncle, are you mistaken, my father hasn't eaten these wild beans for many years. My dad said that he didn't eat it when he was a child, and he hurt himself from eating wild beans, and now when he smells these wild beans, he feels a smell of beans. ”

"Well, then I misremembered." Third Uncle Ding didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile, "I remember that when I was a child, your father loved to eat, and I forgot that now that your family is living a good life, who is still rare to eat this wild bean." ”

"Look at what the third uncle said, don't look at my family killing pigs and selling meat, but that meat is not eaten if you want to, a large family lives, and they all rely on my father's meat case to support their families."

Ding's second sister-in-law is also a tricky person, and as she spoke, she took the sack and fell into the open space in the yard.

A bunch of wild beans of various colors with shells and leaves fell out of the sacks, some of which had been fried and fell round to the ground, and some of which were still green.

At first glance, these wild beans were picked on the side of the road when they came.

Although there is a small half bag in the sack, it is really going to be dried and the beans are pounded out, and it is estimated that it is more than half a bowl.

Second sister-in-law Ding didn't speak, just looked at the wild beans in front of her with a smile, and stretched out her feet and crushed them carelessly.

I could see that the faces of the third uncle and the third aunt Ding were red and white.

But they are thick-skinned, even so, Aunt Ding still asked cheekily: "Second daughter-in-law, we have something to look for your mother, is your mother not at home?" Just now we passed through the eldest brother's meat case, and the eldest brother said that the sister-in-law had gone home. ”

At this time, Aunt Ding slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up, walked to the door of the hall and said loudly: "The third brother and three sisters are here, sit in the house." ”

"No, no."

Uncle Ding smiled and rubbed his hands, "It turns out that my sister-in-law is at home, it's good at home, it's good to be at home." ”

Aunt Ding walked out of the house and walked into the courtyard in a few steps: "I just arrived home, no, you guys have arrived, the matter of the front and back feet." ”

"Sister-in-law."

Without waiting for Aunt Ding to approach, Aunt Ding took two steps forward and grabbed Aunt Ding's hand, called her sister-in-law affectionately and began to complain: "It's better for my sister-in-law to live in the town, unlike us, if you want to come to the town, you go out early in the morning, and you haven't even had time to eat a bite of breakfast, and you haven't arrived until now." ”

I didn't eat breakfast!

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Ding smiled and let out an "oh" carelessly, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Aunt Ding's words at all.

Seeing that Sister-in-law Ding didn't eat oil and salt, Aunt Ding couldn't help but feel a little negative in her heart.

She knew that her sister-in-law's meal was later than others', but when she heard that they didn't eat breakfast, her sister-in-law didn't say that they came to roast big meat, and she didn't say that she would cook two cakes and give them a cushion first.

Her sister-in-law is really getting more and more picky.

What kind of lo-mei has been made by his family now, he must say a few words in front of the eldest brother when he goes back, and it is better to cut some and bring it back.

Aunt Ding, who was dragged by Sister-in-law Ding to sit down on a low stool in the yard, still held Aunt Ding's hand and didn't let go.

"Isn't it about to be harvested in autumn, the sickle at home is broken, and Baozhu and I came to the town to see and want to order a sickle, that is...... That is, who knew that this sickle was so expensive, and the money we carried on us was not enough, so we wanted to ask the eldest brother and sister-in-law to borrow some, and return it next time. ”

Aunt Ding listened with a smile, but did not answer, and listened to Aunt Ding keep talking.

Aunt Ding paused for a moment and continued: "I went to the eldest brother's meat case to find out that my sister-in-law came home, no, I found the house." ”
