Chapter 42: Helping the Brothers
"Youzhi, you shouldn't have said that."
Xia Lanhua chased after her, she was a little worried about what Xia Youzhi had just said.
"Should I not talk to Aunt Chunhua like that, or should I not say that I slept with a lot of people?" Xia Youzhi's expression was unknown.
Xia Lanhua was stunned for a moment.
Can she speak...... Does she think she shouldn't have it?
If Aunt Chunhua goes out to talk nonsense, then others will accuse her of being ignorant and talking to her elders like this.
And she shouldn't have ruined her reputation by saying something like that.
Xia Youzhi looked at Xia Lanhua's expression, obviously already knowing what she was thinking.
For this cousin, Xia Youzhi really doesn't want to have too much to do with it.
Even if she knew that Xia Lanhua people were not bad.
"The second cousin thinks that all the elders are worthy of respect? Even the elders who ruined your reputation don't matter, do they? ”
Xia Youzhi stopped and looked at Xia Lanhua.
"Also...... It's not that serious. Xia Lanhua said with a sigh.
"Heh, if she changes to a stronger girl, she ruins other people's reputations like this, how will she deal with herself in the future?" Xia Youzhi asked seriously.
Xia Lanhua was speechless.
In the village, if the reputation is ruined, it will definitely affect the marriage in the future.
"Then, then don't talk about yourself and others...... Sleep, it's not good for you. ”
Xia Lanhua was a little shy and couldn't say those two words.
"Even if I don't laugh at myself, do you think Aunt Chunhua really stopped spreading rumors? Since she wants to spread rumors, what does it matter if I say it or not? Xia Youzhi sneered.
Xia Lanhua was stunned for a moment.
She was a little dizzy, but she seemed to understand Xia Youzhi's words a little.
Xia Youzhi looked at the stunned Xia Lanhua, didn't say anything, and turned around and left directly.
Looking at Xia Youzhi's back, Xia Lanhua had an impulse.
"Don't you care what people think of you?"
"Never."
……
When Xia Youzhi returned home, the second aunt Hu Chunlan had already brought the two boiled chickens.
"So, where are you going? Let you go to the second aunt's house, I haven't seen anyone for a long time. Xia Mu smiled.
"I saw a dog barking on the road, I took a look, and it was delayed." The way of summer young.
Regarding what happened just now, Xia Youzhi didn't plan to say it and let Xia Mu add to it.
Later, she went to her second aunt's house, but she didn't see anyone, so she went home.
Xia Lanhua, who followed on the back foot, was slightly stunned when she heard Xia Youzhi's description.
Come to think of it, that's a pretty apt description.
"Orchids are coming?" Xia Mu asked with a smile.
"Third aunt, my dad asked me to come over and help." Xia Lan Flower Road.
"There's nothing to help with, your second aunt has already made the chicken, I'll just fry some vegetables, you and Youzhi just take out the dishes and chopsticks."
Xia Mu said with a smile, and kept stir-frying the vegetables in her hands.
Xia Youzhi took the dishes and chopsticks out, and after a while, Xia Mu's vegetables were also fried.
"Well, go and sit down with the big guy." Xia Mu said with a smile.
Xia Youzhi nodded, and beckoned the teachers and village cadres sitting in the courtyard to sit down and eat.
When they saw the meat dishes on the table, everyone was secretly surprised.
I've never seen this braised pork knuckle and braised fat sausage.
The fragrance wafts throughout the courtyard, and the color is attractive.
"Youzhi, this is what you call braised pork?" Teacher Yan asked in surprise.
"Yes, Mr. Yan." Xia Youzhi replied with a smile.
The teacher and the village cadres sat at two tables, and on the main table, Xia Youzhi and the village chief accompanied them.
"I've never seen anything like this." Principal Liu said with a smile.
He is poor, most of the money is used to support students, and other expenses are relatively frugal.
"Principal, this is my deceased grandfather's research, my mother told me the secret recipe, I just made it blindly, I didn't expect it to taste okay." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.
"I didn't expect that in addition to good grades, you also have the specialty of cooking." Principal Liu exclaimed.
Xia Youzhi's grades were also mentioned by Teacher Yan, and those grades were even better than her brother's.
If you can come to Anming County No. 1 Middle School, it will really be the luck of No. 1 Middle School.
"Headmaster, you're wrong, I'm just foolish." Xia Youzhi said modestly.
"You say doing business, are you doing this?" Teacher Yan on the side asked.
Xia Youzhi nodded, "I only did it recently, and I didn't expect to be taken by the town's canteen, so we sent it regularly, but the money given was relatively small, so I earned a hard fee." ”
Xia Youzhi knew that many village cadres listened with their ears pricked up.
If you say too much, people will be red-eyed, and if you say too little, people won't believe it.
It can only be vaguely come.
Teacher Yan nodded.
If she had a regular income, she wouldn't have to worry so much about her beloved's tuition.
"Your meat is better than your old Uncle Zhang." The village chief sighed after tasting a piece.
He was originally worried that the women and children in the Xia family would not be able to make things on the table, and it would be bad for him to neglect the teacher.
also specially brought their old Uncle Zhang, the cook of Niujiao Village, over.
Other village cadres agreed, they really had never eaten such delicious braised pork.
"Grandpa the village chief, I can't compare with Uncle Zhang, and this braised pork is just a recipe I made according to my grandfather's recipe, where else dare to compare with Uncle Zhang." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.
Old Uncle Zhang is about the same age as Grandpa Gu, but the men, women and children in the village are used to calling him "Old Uncle Zhang".
Uncle Zhang, who was sitting at the table next to him, had an easy-going personality, but he also liked to hear the juniors praise him.
"Girl, don't be modest. Your braised pork is really unique, or your grandfather is amazing. Old Uncle Zhang said with a smile.
They are all cooks in the village, and the two villages are not far apart, so Uncle Zhang naturally knows Xia Youzhi's grandfather.
"Old Uncle Zhang, you look back and see how you need to improve, who doesn't know your cooking skills." Xia Youzhi said modestly.
"Xia girl, don't embarrass your old Uncle Zhang, the other dishes are okay, this braised pork, I have to buy it from you when I get hungry, haha." Uncle Zhang said with a smile.
"I can judge this, your old Uncle Zhang really can't do this meat." The village chief's usually serious face is now full of smiles.
The village chief and Uncle Zhang grew up together, and their relationship was better than that of ordinary brothers in the same village.
"You old man, you really don't give me any face." Uncle Zhang said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone at the table laughed.
Seeing that Uncle Zhang had such an easy-going temperament, Xia Youzhi put his mind at ease.
It seems that the previous idea will not be difficult to realize.
Compared to the harmony in the courtyard, the table in the kitchen was not so pleasant.
"His third aunt, why haven't I seen you use this recipe before?"
Huang Lianzhi said sourly while stuffing the meat into the big fat bowl.
"I couldn't make the recipe before, but I didn't expect it to be able to do it." Xia Mu smiled lightly.
"She's really lucky." Huang Lianzhi continued to say sourly, his eyes rolled several times, and continued, "Since we are so profitable, we are all a family, and we must help each other, and we all say that fighting tigers will not leave our brothers." ”
Xia Mu's smile faded completely.
She really couldn't imagine that Huang Lianzhi could even say such a thing.
"Mom, this is the recipe of the third aunt's family, why are you asking so much." Xia Lanhua anxiously tugged at the coptis branch.
"You kid, what do you know, although it is the recipe brought by your third aunt, but your third aunt has married into the Xia family, that is the Xia family, then let's take a look, what's the matter." Huang Lianzhi reprimanded.
"Mom." Xia Lanhua sighed.
Her mother is getting more and more outrageous, and now she actually plays the idea of the third aunt's recipe.
"Sister-in-law, don't talk about it. This recipe was left by Cuilian's father, and it has nothing to do with us, if Cuilian can't be busy in the future, let's just come over and help. Hu Chunlan hurriedly played a round.
Huang Lianzhi wanted to say something, but when he saw Xia Mu's expressionless face, he could only snort coldly.
If you don't give, you don't give, what's the big deal.
This table is full of women and children of the Xia family, and there are no outsiders.
"Sister-in-law, I have already given this recipe to Youzhi, if you want to see it, then you can only ask her." Xia Mu said lightly, "But I think, you shouldn't be very suitable to watch, after all, this is our old Zhang family's thing, no matter how I marry the Xia family, that thing is also Lao Zhang's, not the Xia family." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was silence on the table.
"Okay, okay, if you don't help your brother, forget it, if there is anything in the future, don't count on us." Huang Lianzhi stood up angrily.
I wanted to go out, but when I saw the meat on the table, I sat down again.
Xia Mu glanced at Huang Lianzhi coldly.
When can their family count on the uncle's family?
Over the years, I didn't expect to get a school, and I didn't avoid it when school started, for fear of going to their house to borrow money to study.
If she didn't want to quarrel today, she wouldn't want to see Huang Lianzhi.
The atmosphere on the table dropped to freezing point.
The second aunt Hu Chunlan could only smile and divert the topic.
Talk about other interesting things.
The meal was generally enjoyable for both guests and hosts.
After lunch, the teacher rushed back to the county.
"The bus from the town to the county is the one at eight o'clock in the morning, teacher, you can stay in our Niujiao Village." Xia Youzhi said sincerely.
"Yes, all the teachers have worked hard to come to our Niujiao Village, and we will definitely arrange it." The village chief chimed in.
He drank some wine and blushed a little, but he couldn't stop him from being happy.
This is their first college student in Ushikakura, and he is still Kyoto University, so he has a really long face.
"Don't bother, let's just go live in town." Teacher Yan hurriedly said.
The group of them came to Niujiao Village, which had already made Xia Youzhi and them troublesome enough, and if they stayed again, it would be even more troublesome.
In the end, Principal Liu and the others insisted on living in the town.
Before leaving, Xia Youzhi packed some braised pork knuckle and braised fat sausages for the teachers.
"It's a pity that the county seat is too far away, otherwise it would be good to sell it to the canteens of those big factories in the county." Teacher Yan said.
Her lover is specifically responsible for the procurement of the canteen in the factory.
If she had the opportunity, she really wanted to introduce Xia Youzhi to her lover.
"Hehe, Mr. Yan, I also have this plan, but I have to wait later. It may really bother you then. Xia Youzhi said with a smile.
If it can develop into the county, of course she is very happy.
"Okay, one day you see that you are going to sell this braised meat in the county, you can tell me." Teacher Yan patted the back of Xia Youzhi's hand with a smile.
Xia Youzhi nodded in gratitude.
After settling down with the teacher, Xia Youzhi went to the meat factory again, and the order for tomorrow's meat had to be increased.
After arranging things, I can go home with peace of mind.
