Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Festive Bowl
Because Lao Ding's parents don't come to the time, they are all loose, and they don't clean up after eating, this habit is not good, and it has to be changed in the future! Erni told herself in her heart.
Then she turned around and walked around the house again to see what else the old woman should not see.
make the bed, put away the sheets; Eat, there are leftover canned food bottles hidden in the kang hole; There are too many clothes outside, and the roll bar is also stuffed into the kang hole......
While Erni was cleaning things in the house, Sanni, who was a toddler, turned her little head back and forth with her second sister, and finally turned her unstable little body down.
However, the little guy is not squeamish, and he got up silently and crawled under the pot where the second sister stuffed the bowl just now, wanting to see what the second sister was doing.
Erni looked at the room on both sides with her eyes, and felt that there should be no exposure, and she was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw her sister dismantling her backstage, and hurriedly ran over to bring the little ancestor who stretched out her arms to the bottom of the pot, and then before she could reprimand Mrs. Liu, she had already come in.
"Unfilial things, I'll see what good things you all hide, you actually have the money to go to school with a girl, there must be good things I don't know......" Mrs. Liu muttered and entered the east house, saw Erni holding Sanni, and opened the lid after a glance.
Of course, there was nothing in the pot, even the pot was brushed clean.
"Humph!"
Mrs. Liu threw down the curtain, and then looked at the room with old eyes, and saw that there were only bamboo mats on the kang and a few torn clothes piled up. There are really no pickles and empty bowls on the dinner table, and you can see the bottom at a glance. He snorted again and turned to the Westinghouse.
The Westinghouse is where their sisters live, and although the good things are left in the valley, the girls have saved a lot of money for more than a year, and there are boxes and clothes, so there are a lot of things.
Mrs. Liu pulled the straw curtain and came in, and went straight to the box on the kang, and as soon as she opened it and took a look, she was pulled out of the door by an arm by a tench.
"Hey, you girl, you must have hidden something good, let go of me, let go of the old lady!"
"You're enough, save yourself some face. At such an old age, there are children and daughters who come to visit the homes of several of our children, are you not ashamed to say it? We just have a few children, what good things can I have, I want to eat and eat, the money is to go into the mountains to pick up mountain goods, there are so many people in your family, you want money you can also save, we have to go up the mountain, we won't make trouble with you here, you love to scold, you love to make trouble, we don't have time to accompany you, slow walk and don't send. ”
After Ding Yu finished speaking, he went to the side to clean up his back basket, went in and took Sanni from Erni's arms and put it in the back basket.
Mrs. Liu saw that Ding Yu really wanted to leave herself behind, and she had just taken a look at the situation in the house, and it was really worthless, but she still saw Ding Yu and Erni rushing into the house when they were busy and picked up the four empty bowls on the table and ran out, saying as she ran.
"There is a new brother of yours in the family, and there are not enough bowls, so these bowls should be regarded as your filial piety to me, a grandmother."
The little feet ran so fast that they didn't even have time to make the tench and Erni react before they turned around the hill and disappeared.
"This old pious woman, there is no advantage that she does not take advantage of."
Erni saw that the figure was gone, and she stomped her feet in anger.
"Forget it, let her take a few bowls!"
This development made Ding Yu also unexpected, Mrs. Liu was also greedy before, but she didn't get to this point, right?
"What's the matter, it's a new bowl we bought during the New Year, the white porcelain bowl is printed with red double happiness, festive, clean and good-looking, there are a few in our village that can have it!"
Erni was still indignant. And speaking of these bowls, in the eyes of tench, it is really vulgar.
During the Chinese New Year, Ding Yu felt that Erni had always wanted to go to the county and never took her there, but after the New Year, she should buy New Year's goods and take her there. Then they went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy sugar, and when they bought daily necessities, they saw that the lobby of the supply and marketing cooperatives dealt with some festive supplies such as bowls, chopsticks and porcelain basins that could be used during the New Year, and they could buy them without tickets.
Erni fell in love with the chopsticks and porcelain basins printed with red double happiness, she felt that the bowl used at home was black and black, this was clear and white, and she felt that she could eat fragrantly.
Ding Yu gave her pocket money, she went to line up to buy candy cubes, and when she came back, Erni had already finished buying. Although the tench thinks it is cheesy and can't look at it, but the children who are older than the New Year like it, just six bowls, buy it, it's not a lot of money.
I didn't expect Mrs. Liu to have the same vision as Erni, and they both thought this bowl was good. The tench held back his laughter and comforted his sister,
"Okay, she won't go to our house again for a short time this time, and it can be regarded as spending money to buy a stop, and your bowl will be regarded as a contribution."
"Hmph, I'm glad I just hid one." Saying that, he walked into the house and saw another one on the table, "Hmph, even if she has a little conscience, she didn't take our pickle bowl away." ”
Okay, it's quite conscientious, and there are two of the six bowls left.
The sisters didn't bother anymore, and took their things and carried Sanni to the valley.
It took two or three hours to climb the mountain and finally reach the valley, and Fang Shi was also surprised to see Erni, "Aren't you going to class today?" ”
Erni looked at her sister with a little weakness, and then pulled Fang Shi to tell her that she didn't go to school. And the tench didn't bother to care about her, so he went directly to the chicken pen to watch the chickens on his back.
Of the more than 200 chickens, one hundred and eighty-seven survived. And there are sixty or seventy roosters in there.
Afraid that the rooster's crowing would attract wolves or leopards in the mountains to find him, when the rooster was half an adult, he was caught by tench one after another and sold to the black market or eaten by himself.
The young chickens that are less than a year old are not fragrant at all, and those people in the black market eat them as soon as they eat them, so the price is not as good as the chickens that have been raised for several years. Later, at the suggestion of Uncle Meng, tench bought several waves of chicken seedlings, not all of them were raised at one time, so that they could be connected.
Uncle Meng's 800-hearted business experience is really a set, much more mature than the reckless layman of the tench. Therefore, there are not only a batch of chickens in the valley now, but several batches of different sizes.
When I arrived at the chicken pen, I saw a person lying next to a separate chicken cage, and this person was Uncle Meng, who had 800 hearts and eyes.
After cooking, the tench heard about Uncle Meng's past, Uncle Meng's name was Meng Shenyi, and his family used to be a nobleman. And he himself traveled to many countries when he was young, and his background and life experience were complicated, so he didn't delegate to anyone when he was liquidated!
And his wife divorced with the children in order to dissociate herself from him, and he himself cut off the relationship with his parents in order not to drag the family down, and came here alone.
"Uncle Meng, why didn't you go to work again, so that no one really reported you?"
