Chapter 20: Gluttony
In summer, the days are long and the nights are short.
At seven o'clock in the evening, it was not yet completely dark.
The cool breeze was cool, but the weather was already much cooler.
Zhao Laosi ordered wormwood to repel mosquitoes in the yard, Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang brought out the food and put it on the old wooden table in the yard, Zhao Yanyan, who was holding the chair, was a little restrained, but couldn't help but glance at Xiao Hong, a strange sister.
Yan Yan was still young when Xiao Hong came last time, and Yan Yan, who is only eight years old this year, has no impression of her.
Zhao Yanyan was very envious of her appearance of not being afraid of heaven and earth.
When her grandmother scolded her before, she had actually come back, but when she heard her grandmother scolding, she didn't dare to take the lead.
But I didn't expect that this strange sister was not afraid of her grandmother at all, and she could take out so much money, which made her very envious.
She also wants money to buy delicious sesame candy, milky biscuits, and all kinds of delicious sweets.
"Xiao Hong, eat more." Wu Julan felt that her daughter had been wronged, so she first poured her a bowl of sparkling wine, and then gave her fish: "You try this billfish, although it is a little smaller, it tastes good." ”
After Xiao Hong ate it, she praised: "Mom, your craftsmanship is so good, this fish is fresh and tender, especially delicious." ”
This is her true words, now this small fish is cheap, and it will be difficult to buy such a fresh and delicious fish if you want to eat it in the future.
Thinking about it this way, I feel that the days in this mountain are also wrong.
The air is fresh and the food is delicious, which is very suitable for retirement.
"Then you eat more." Wu Julan smiled even more, and sandwiched a lot of shrimp for her: "This shrimp tastes good." ”
"Mom, I'll clip it myself, and you can eat more." Xiao Hong saw Yan Yan with envy on her face and smiled: "Yan Yan, you have to eat more to grow taller." ”
"Yes, let's eat it while it's hot, fresh." Wu Julan saw that her daughters could get along in harmony, and she was secretly relieved and smiled even happier.
A plate of braised billfish, stir-fried sauerkraut with shrimp, scrambled eggs with leeks, cucumbers mixed with sugar, stir-fried beans, and the orange sparkling wine that will be spewed out when the lid is opened, which is even more delicious, so that everyone in the family is particularly satisfied.
Xiao Fang got up very diligently and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks: "I'll wash the dishes, you guys are out to enjoy the cold!" ”
Yan Yan couldn't help but burp: "This sparkling wine is so delicious." ”
Of course, the price is also expensive, so it is rare for parents to be willing to buy it back and eat it.
After she finished speaking, she glanced at Xiao Hong expectantly, mainly because this sister was rich.
Xiao Hong pretended that she didn't see it, if she agreed, she would come, and her stepparents would definitely not brush her off.
But children are clever, and it is not good to point fingers at themselves in the future.
She looked at the roosters and hens that were not afraid of people, and came to the small table to find food, and asked with a smile: "Mom, why don't you have more chickens at home?" ”
She wants to eat chicken, and the chicken here may be free-range in the back, and the taste of free-range chicken is particularly delicious.
Moreover, she remembered in a trance that in the future, the chickens, ducks, and fish here will be in short supply, because the mountains and rivers here are good, and they are all kept in captivity in the mountains and forests.
Anyway, the price is twice as expensive as the outside, and they don't have to send it out to sell it themselves, they are all rich people outside who drive in and buy it.
She now thinks that the family is not rich, but she is not willing to take out her old bottom to support the family, so she can only find a way to make them work hard to earn money and get rich.
Only when the family has money will they be willing to spend money on them and improve the living conditions of the family.
Of course, the main thing is that she is also hungry for meat.
Besides, she doesn't need to feed the chickens.
Wu Julan sighed when she heard her words: "Everyone wants to raise more chickens and ducks, but they are afraid that if they raise too much, they will easily get pestilence." ”
"Like last year, more than half of the chickens and ducks in every household in the village died? Our chickens are all plagued, and there is not a single one left, and I am distressed to death! ”
Xiao Hong also remembered that now that chickens and ducks have plague, everyone can only use local methods to treat, that is, feed some oxytetracycline tablets, whether they can survive or not, it can only depend on the will of God.
But in the future, there will be more medicines that chickens can eat, and the disinfection work is new, and chicken plague is actually not so terrible.
It's a pity that she is a little impressed, but she doesn't understand it very well.
Therefore, it can only be regretted that the case of raising a family and getting rich was miscarried before it began: "Yes, chicken plague is indeed terrible." ”
Zhao Youqiang thought that Xiao Hong was hungry for meat, and pointed to the big rooster that grabbed and pecked other hens: "This chicken is too domineering, Ming'er will slaughter it, right?" ”
Wu Julan was a little reluctant: "It's too hot now, why don't you wait?" ”
At the beginning of spring this year, she raised twenty chickens, eight ducklings, and two geese.
It's a pity that when the chickens and ducks were small, some were bitten to death by rats, and some were not fed, and in the end there were only three big roosters and eight hens, five ducks, and two geese.
This hen will lay eggs for a long time, and she must be reluctant to kill it.
She had already thought about how to eat the remaining three roosters, one for her mother-in-law to add a dish for the New Year, and one for them to eat for the New Year, and the last one for the guests.
"Wait, wait!" Mrs. Zhao walked in quickly and said happily: "Xiao Hong is here at our house, that's our family, let's have a meal together, I'll bring you a chicken." ”
She seemed to be a different person, and smiled at Xiao Hong with fiery eyes: "This kid, the more I look at it, the more I like it." ”
"Good boy, you were wronged before, and grandma will love you in the future."
Zhao Youqiang and Wu Julan looked at each other, they didn't forget, more than an hour ago, her mother-in-law was eager to drive Xiao Hong out, but now this change is too violent, and she is speechless in surprise at her change.
"Thank you, grandma, I finally have a home again." Xiao Hong also looked at her with a grateful face, but she knew in her heart that she must have gone to Jiang Pozi to tell her fortune.
Obviously, what Mrs. Jiang said made her very satisfied, so that her attitude could change dramatically.
Thinking about it this way, the money that was stuffed to Mrs. Jiang before was not so distressed.
Mrs. Zhao smiled from ear to ear: "Yes, this will be your home in the future." ”
Now when she thinks of what God said, she is still very excited.
People were shocked when they heard Xiao Hong's birthday, saying that she was one in a million good characters, with three points of wealth, and she could prosper her family, bring her younger brothers and sisters, and drive away bad luck.
also said that the home she used to stay in was because of her to live well.
Mrs. Zhao thought about it, isn't it, the ex-husband of the fourth family, who remarried and gave birth to a son, they also have money, and they all drive tractors.
Besides, if people don't have money, how can they be willing to give Xiao Hong so much money?
Thinking about it like this, Xiao Hong looks at how pleasing it is, and naturally wants her to stay in the fourth family.
Therefore, he is also very willing, and plans to kill chickens for her and get her a reception banquet.
She told her son again: "Fourth, don't sit idle, hurry up and put the cage to get some fish and shrimp, and Ming'er can add a dish?" ”
