At dinner, there were more Chu Youwen and his son, and I felt a lot more lively all of a sudden.

The staple food of the family is still black noodles, and the dishes are boiled cabbage and a large plate of vegetarian fried lettuce. The men's table had an extra fish and a plate of pork belly, while the women's table had only a small bowl of pork belly and no fish.

The pork belly in the bowl is about three fingers wide and one finger thick, and the size looks like button meat, which is simply mixed with garlic leaves and fried together, and smells very fragrant. After everyone sat down, Du Pozi served the meat bowl to everyone to divide the meat, first the second and fourth Chu Yan'er of the old family, then the third and seventh Chu Meng'er of the second family, and then the sixth Chu Lian'er of the fifth family. One slice of meat per person, with only three slices of meat and some garlic leaves left in the bowl.

Ye watched Du Pozi's movements, and he didn't see the meat for his daughter for a long time, and he felt pain in his heart but didn't dare to speak. I saw that Du Pozi first sandwiched a piece into his bowl, and put the remaining two pieces into Chu Baofeng's bowl in one go. Next, the Chen family, the Wang family, and the old five Zhu families saw that they reached into the bowl with chopsticks and divided the garlic leaves with the smell of pork.

Chu Baofeng picked up a piece of meat, ate it in small bites, looked at Chu Congrong proudly, stretched out his little fragrant tongue and deliberately licked the lard overflowing from the corner of his mouth, his face was full of mockery.

Chu snorted calmly, got up and walked to the men's table. Shiro, Hachiro, and Jiuro are eating meat with their own mouths. Old Man Chu and Chu Youwen, father and son, were chatting, and their respective rice bowls also contained meat, but there was no meat in Liulang Qilang's bowl.

At this time, there was still a small half bowl of meat left on the table, and the twins looked at the meat bowl and salivated, but they didn't dare to reach out.

I saw Chu calmly stretching out his chopsticks, quickly sandwiching a piece of meat for the twins, and also clipping a piece for himself, and said in his mouth: "Liulang Qilang, why don't you eat meat?" If you spread the word, you will be laughed at, and you think that the master treats you two grandchildren badly! ”

Rokuro Qilang said thank you, lowered his head in unison, stuffed the meat slices into his mouth, and chewed them beautifully.

Chu Youwen slammed the chopsticks on the table with a snap, and shouted loudly: "It's really uneducated!" How did the third teach you! ”

Chu Yongjun stood up and stretched out his slap towards Chu Congrong's face. Chu Congrong had already taken precautions, and took a step back, and Chu Yongjun suddenly fanned out. When he wanted to continue fanning again, Chu Congrong looked at him and said loudly: "Brother Erlang, are you going to poison your sister for a piece of meat?"

Chu Yongjun has always been used to it, he never expected that the other party would argue with him, and he immediately wanted to do it, but was stopped by Chu Shijun.

Chu Congrong found that he was making such a fuss, and his words were so coherent that he forgot to cough, so he said to Chu Youwen: "Uncle, the rules of big families are like this. Isn't Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi the grandson of the master? They are too young to clip meat, so I'll be a sister and give them a clip. Otherwise, if outsiders find out, they will laugh at him. ”

Chu Youwen was deeply stimulated by her words, what kind of grandson, this is to laugh at himself for being born to a concubine and aunt? For more than 30 years, who doesn't know that he is the son of the Chu family, where can he say it. However, for a while, he didn't know how to fight back against this stinky girl.

"Men and women don't sit at the same table, get back to your table!" Chu Youwen paused for a while, then shouted angrily with a wave of his big hand.

"There are no outsiders here, it's all a family, where do men and women have different tables. Uncle is full of poetry and books, why are you so angry with my niece?" Chu calmly responded.

Suddenly, there was a hot pain in her shoulder, but she was attacked by Chu Baofeng from behind and knocked two chopsticks hard!

"Kill you uneducated, even my eldest brother dares to contradict it, it's really not big or small!"

I'm angry with the baby, I can't prevent the front from the back. Chu Congrong was very helpless, surrounded by wolves, a tiger was hard to beat.

Thinking that his body was weak, the men on his side were not at home, and he would definitely not be able to get any advantage with the timid and cowardly Ye and the thin twins, Chu calmly forcibly suppressed the thoughts that broke out in his heart.

"Oh, auntie, it's true that my uncle is an elder, but it's also true that my father is my father's son-in-law, and there is no doubt that Liulang Qilang is a grandson! The difference between these three outlines and five constants and descendants is the cornerstone of our Daning Dynasty, and our Chu family is a scholarly family, and the master is a person who understands. I just talked about things by facts, and I didn't deliberately contradict my uncle! ”

Without waiting for someone to refute it, Chu calmly said to Chu Baofeng: "Auntie, you have to be careful, you are going to marry into a big family as a young grandmother, if you don't understand the rules, it will reach the ears of your future in-laws, but you will suffer a big loss!" ”

Your sister, this girl has written it down a few times, and I'll settle accounts with you when I go back.

"You talk nonsense, when did I not understand the rules......"

Chu Baofeng nervously defended two sentences and then closed his mouth, thinking about how this dead girl had become sharp-toothed.

"Wuya, you dead girl, you can help Liulang Qilang clip it, why do you still grab your food?" Chen saw that his man and sister-in-law had suffered losses, so he immediately stood up to help.

Meat has always been eaten by the old man and his father-in-law's son, when will it be the turn of this cheap girl? was eaten by this dead girl, didn't his man's son eat one less?

"Auntie, didn't you see that the little grandmother forgot to give me meat! All the sisters have a share, but I don't have a share, you want to hurt the reputation of the little grandmother for bullying her granddaughter?" Chu calmly and confidently responded.

"No big or small dead girl, can you speak, what little grandma, your dead girl's filial piety was eaten by dogs! I want to rebel! You don't care about teaching the third brother and sister, don't you want to be angry with your mother?"

The Wang family also stood up, but the mother-in-law promised to help her son find a way out, and she must help unconditionally, and when will it be the turn of the family to speak out?

"I called her little grandmother and didn't call her an old aunt, just out of filial piety! My grandmother is the eldest grandmother, but it's a pity that the old man passed away early. If the second aunt is illiterate, don't mess around, so as not to make jokes. ”

Chu Congrong felt that his energy was limited, and Du Pozi's face was already red with anger, and he didn't want to dwell too much, so he said softly to Old Man Chu: "Master, I haven't been at home since I was six years old, and what I said is the rules of a big family that I learned in the Li Mansion. If there's anything wrong, I'll learn from him when my dad comes back. If you have anything to teach your granddaughter, she will listen. ”

Old Man Chu was angry for a while, and he didn't lie for a while, this girl often pressed over when he moved out of the rules and ethics, and he didn't understand it very well for a while, and he couldn't admit that he didn't understand the rules, so he didn't talk about the rules.

He waved his hand and whispered: "You have also eaten the meat, roll over there and eat your food well, you will make chickens and dogs jump at a young age!" ”

Chu calmly answered yes very elegantly, and then walked back to his seat generously and ate unhurriedly. Ye Shi, who was trembling nervously on the side, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the others had their own concerns, when they saw Old Man Chu's voice, his tone was quite displeased, and he didn't dare to force his head out again, but just lowered his head to eat and eat. Du Pozi's face was bruised, she snorted and shook her chopsticks, got up and went back to the room.

Chu Baofeng glanced at Chu Congrong with unkind eyes, got up and chased after him.

Chu calmly ate as if nothing had happened, and ate slowly and methodically.

Dinner ended quickly in an awkward atmosphere. Master Chu called the eldest and second to discuss the matter of silver with Du Pozi.

Du Pozi was angry, and when she heard that it cost as much as thirty taels, she immediately shouted that she had no money.

"It's not easy to save six or seven taels of spare money in the past six months, where can I get thirty taels!"

Old Man Chu coughed and said, "This year, the boss and Da Lang Erlang will end at the same time, which is a great joy for our Chu family." As long as one of them can win a show, they will be able to light the lintel and be the only one in Longkennel Village! If you can win more, it will be a great joy for the glory of the ancestors! Therefore, if you don't have this money, you have to make it up, everyone talks about it, and let's think of a way together. ”

Chu Youwen said: "Dad is right, I will strictly supervise Dalang Erlang to study day and night, and strive to pass the hospital exam in one fell swoop." The matter of money and silver is too much for the mother and the second brother to worry about. ”

Du Pozi spread his hands and said: "Money money, money, last month, the fifth store had no money to buy, and I ran back to ask for three taels, and now I can only take out eight taels at most, what is the way you want to go." ”

Chu Youyong, the second child who had been silent for a long time, said in a muffled voice: "There is not much work in the town now, and I don't make any money, so I can't help it." ”

Chu Youyong works in the fields at home when he is busy, and he doesn't work much in the fields when he is free, it is enough to have the original owner's father Chu Youde and the fourth Chu Youde and the original owner's brother San Lang Chu Yingjun, he goes to the town to do odd jobs to earn money.

A few people were gossiping, but they couldn't talk about being ugly, so they just sat back and waited for Old Man Chu to speak.

"Now it's only eight taels, so let's think about selling grain. At this time, there is not much surplus food at home, so let's pre-sell summer grain first. Thirty acres of real estate together, leaving enough for the family to eat autumn grain, the extra part of the cheaper can also be sold for fifteen taels, and the rest is for the old family, the second family and the fifth family to find a way, make up two taels per room, and if it doesn't work, they will go back to their parents' homes to borrow! In the end, there are still one or two missing, and the eldest father and son will go to the county to save some flowers. ”

Old Man Chu came up with what he thought was the best way.

"You are a dead old man, you have three rooms when you eat meat, why can't you remember three rooms when you make up money! Is it true that only the third child is born to you, and the eldest and second and fifth are not your species! ”

Du Pozi has been angry since she was poked out by Chu Congrong's soft knife words, and she is even more angry and gritted her teeth.

"Didn't the third and third lang get 600 wen when they went to serve? The Ye family's mother's family is so poor that they can't open the pot, what can they do! Old Man Chu shook his head and said.

"If you can't help it, you have to find a way, unless it's not a family! Just eat dry food, leave it alone if there is something at home, there is no such good thing in the world! Du Pozi was so excited that she slapped the kang noodles with her hand.

Why is the dead girl's life so hard, and the six taels of silver in her hand will fly like that, otherwise she wouldn't have to worry about it now.

"Mother, didn't you say that the cheap girl can be exchanged for six taels?" Chu Baofeng heard the family's sad face in the back room, and he was at a loss, and ran out to interject.

", didn't you give her a chance to live." Du Pozi is very sorry, she can't let the old lady kill her.

"Hehe, don't worry, mother, you can also exchange money for money! The mother came forward to find someone to marry her, and the bride price was at least five taels. Chu Baofeng made a move.

"Wuya is only twelve years old, and she has just been seriously ill, what to marry." Old Man Chu shook his head, not very agreeing.

"Dad, Wuya couldn't die if she wasn't saved by Dr. Langzhong before, it can be seen that her life is really hard enough. How many people are rushing to rush to Chongxi for this kind of girl, but it's in demand. What the old sister said is a good way. Chu Youwen retorted.

This method is good, you can solve a few taels at once, and you don't need to make up a few rooms.

"Old man, if you marry that girl, you will receive at least a few taels of money, in case everyone is short of money, this is a guarantee. If they can make up for it, we can sell less food! Du Pozi frowned, it was definitely a good idea to sell that dead girl.

My daughter is smart, and her ideas are wonderful. The dead girl sells it early, and she stays at home and responds to herself.

Several people thought about it and said that Old Man Chu had no better move, and everyone voted in favor of Du Pozi's idea. Old Man Chu saw that the night was dark, so he sent everyone back to the room to sleep.
