Chapter 242: Dividing the Grain and Changing the Second Watch
After Song Hongguo took the two children to sleep, Zhao Baoqing's house was lively.
Zhao Zhenhua stuck in the woods when he went to the time, the lights were blind at night, he was afraid of attracting attention, and he didn't dare to use a flashlight, and by the moonlight, he pushed the car one foot deep and one foot shallow.
After arriving at the place, I was worried about how to find food, but I didn't walk a few steps into it, and I saw that several sacks of different sizes were stacked on the ground with so big thorns, and there was no cover for it, so I was not afraid that someone would steal it?
That's too sloppy, isn't it?
The system rolls its eyes, who dares to steal it?
How could Zhao Zhenhua know, while slandering, he quickly moved the bag to the car, and looked around, thinking that the other party might be staring in the dark, but he couldn't see anything in the dark, so he had to leave with doubts.
As soon as he entered the village, he saw his father waiting at the intersection, and he stood up coldly and startled him, and asked like a thief, "Why did you come out?" β
Can Zhao Baoqing say that he is anxious to wait at home, is it better to wait out? Anyway, it was his own son, he didn't want to answer, so he swept over, he stared at the few bags of grain on the cart, and asked in a low voice, "Did the road go well?" β
Zhao Zhenhua nodded, "Anyway, I didn't meet anyone." β
Zhao Baoqing asked, "In the woods, who didn't see it?" β
Zhao Zhenhua said "um".
Zhao Baoqing was puzzled, but this is not the place to speak, he pressed it and turned around first, "Let's go home first." β
The two of them entered the house one after the other, and the food was moved directly to the hall, where kerosene lamps were lit, and the faint light reflected a few sacks on the ground, and several pairs of shining eyes.
The women and children had already been sent back to their respective rooms to sleep, leaving only the men, except for Zhao Yulian, who brought her second son to distribute the food.
The bag was untied, revealing that the grain inside was not the grains they thought, but the fine powder that had been ground into powder, or without a trace of impurities.
"I'm a mother......"
Zhao Zhenhua exclaimed, his rough big hand carefully rubbed the delicate stick noodles, and he almost didn't dare to use force.
Zhao Baoqing pinched a little and tasted it directly in his mouth, and said with a complicated face, "This is not worse than fine white noodles." β
When these words fell, the room was boiling at the right time.
One by one, they all came up and tasted it, but the light in their eyes was too bright, and the kerosene lamps were dimmed.
"Really, there's no scum at all."
"It's been a long time since I've eaten this kind of throat-barring food......"
"It's fine enough, but isn't it too extravagant? You have to mix it with some dried sweet potatoes and bran, right? β
"Nonsense, can't you live like this without a festival?"
"It's okay to mix it up and eat it, as long as you can eat enough, you can do whatever you want."
"Want to be full? Dreaming, it's really open to eat, is these two hundred catties enough for you? I heard that there are a lot of patients in the hospital. β
"The neighboring county is amazing, I heard that eating beans works, and people who have that kind of disease will be given half a catty of soybeans when they go to the hospital."
"We have it too, it's still bean noodles, hey, it's also such fine hair, where does the scum go?"
"Is it for pig farms? I saw that my cousin's family seems to be feeding pigs with bean dregs and bran mixed with wild vegetables, which is much more profitable than what we raise, and will be handed in at the end of the year, I'm afraid it won't be able to have 200 catties. β
"My cousin is quite capable."
"Isn't the price you said a little low?"
Speaking of this, the room was quiet, and everyone looked at Zhao Baoqing.
Zhao Baoqing sat on the chair at the table of the Eight Immortals, the cigarette butt he smoked was bright and dark, and after a while, he said righteously, "You all know Hongguo's love in your hearts, don't say anything outside, don't make trouble for Hongguo, and your own daughter-in-law is the same, it is Hongguo's ability to get such cheap food, but you have to take advantage of the favor, we can't be enough, if you guys also want to buy it, then go and find a way by yourself, no one is allowed to go to Hongguo and open your mouth, let me know, I broke his legs." β
This made some careful thoughts go out in an instant.
Zhao Yulian also said with a straight face, "It's not that we don't want to be benevolent and righteous, it's that the current situation doesn't allow it, so we can't afford to eat for our own family, so we take care of people with foreign surnames first, right?" Whoever wants to pull his own father-in-law's family, you can, you can rely on your ability, but no one can go to Hongguo for help, she can pull the two of us, it is already filial enough, whoever makes her embarrassed, I will embarrass her. β
After the beating, the two families began to divide the grain.
Half of the family, only when distributing millet, Zhao Yulian asked for less, "There are many children here, and my sister-in-law is not in good health. β
Zhao Baoqing didn't talk to her politely, he does have a lot of children here, this millet is yellow and clear, he raises people at a glance, twists it with his fingers, it seems that he can twist out the oil, he also has a married daughter who is about to give birth, and he is worried that there is nothing to send, now there is this millet, and add a dozen or so eggs, it is a very heavy gift, and I am not afraid that the girl will not be able to straighten her waist at her mother-in-law's house.
When the food was distributed, every man dispersed.
Zhao Zhenhua returned to the house, and as soon as he got on the kang, Sun Shuhong asked repeatedly, "Are you done?" What does the grain look like? How much do we share? Is there really a millet? β
Zhao Zhenhua lay comfortably on the kang, still thinking about what happened just now, and said with emotion, "The grain is really good, it is all finely ground, I tasted it, I don't scratch my throat at all, that's what people eat, there is no strange smell, it is very fragrant, our family has seventy catties of stick noodles, thirty catties of bean noodles, and fifteen catties of millet......"
Sun Shuhong said in surprise, "So much millet? β
Zhao Zhenhua said, "Well, it should have been ten catties, and the second aunt gave us an extra five catties...... After speaking, he reminded two more sentences, "You are all worried, I estimate that it was reserved for our sister, isn't she about to give birth......"
When Sun Shuhong heard this, she snorted and said, "You still remind your two sisters-in-law, I want to, not for my mother's family, I want to give Manyuan and you a good health, I also want to add a younger brother and sister to Manyuan, but your two sisters-in-law must want to take back their parents' house to support the faΓ§ade, the past two years have not been good, there are no good things to take back, they have muttered several times, you had better be prepared in your heart, if there is no family at home, it is useless for them to worry about it, but now they have it but don't give it, hum, and wait for them to make trouble." β
Zhao Zhenhua was worried when he heard this, "Our father and second aunt have been beaten, I think the eldest brother and the second brother should have a number in their hearts, right?" If you really want to make trouble, our father can't spare them. β
Sun Shuhong said meaningfully, "Then you underestimate a woman's ability, that is, I am stupid, what you say is what, your two brothers are so coaxing." β
Zhao Zhenhua smiled and hugged the person into his arms, "Then you can coax me to try it too, coax it, I will listen to you everything." β
Sun Shuhong hammered his chest in annoyance, "Get out, hiss, what are you doing, take your hand away and quarrel with your son, I'm not done with you......"
"Don't you want to add another brother and sister to Manyuan, if you don't let Lao Tzu get started, how can you live alone?"
", woo......"
