Chapter 8: Stealing Meat

In the last sentence, he said it sonorously and categorically.

The He family was silent for a while, and He Zao was also greatly relieved.

She and Shippo will finally not be sold.

Thinking of this, the anger that He Zao suppressed in his heart rose again, she just crossed a few days ago, first she didn't give enough food during her illness, and just got up to dig pigweed, and when she came back, she encountered such a thing, this He family may be in conflict with her!

and Chen, the mother of this body, has to wait to see her to what extent, so that when others unanimously decide to sell her, they will not say a word! It's better than He Laosi!

The matter was decided, and Mrs. He directly ordered: "It's also dark, third daughter-in-law, you go cook!" Looking at the habitual appearance, she knew that she didn't consider Chen's mother's mood at this time.

Chen silently let go of Qibao, turned around to wipe away his tears, and walked out of the room with his feet up.

He Laosan's mouth opened, but he closed silently.

Sibao dragged He Zao and Qibao and whispered: "Let's go, let's go and help!" ”

How can a family's meal be so easy to make. Now there is another He Lao Er family.

He Zao also felt that he had been in the limelight just now, so he just avoided it at this time, and he didn't say much, so he had to go out with him.

Before going out, she glanced at the old man He who was sitting there, who lit another bag of cigarettes and ordered: "The eldest daughter-in-law also went to help, today the second family and Dabao are back, make it richer!" You take two dollars and let Qibao weigh a few catties of meat! ”

Old Mrs. He was not very reluctant, and muttered a few words.

Liu Shi just interjected with a smile: "No, Dad, there is a chicken and two catties of meat in the things we brought, it is hot this day, we can't put it, so let's use it!" ”

Mrs. He's face looked better, and she said "um", and instructed He Zao: "Chun'er, Zao'er, you two take it and pick it up and send it to your mother!" ”

Sibao took Qibao to the kitchen. He Zao stopped and waited for He Chun'er.

In He Zao's impression, He Chun'er doesn't like to talk much, but she is quite majestic, and her fists are hard, and even the most mischievous boy in the village is afraid of her. Probably because she lost her mother since she was a child, she didn't participate much in family affairs, just like this time when she sold He Zao and Qibao, she only stood silently on the side, and only occasionally glanced at He Lao Er and Dabao with dissatisfaction.

Listening to Mrs. He's instructions, she answered, and went to the high table with He Zao to get the package brought by He's second family, which was heavy, with two packets of snowflake candy, a bag of red dates, and then the raw chicken and pork belly.

She looked at the sugar and red dates flashing, but took the meat and pulled He Zao to turn around and go out.

In the house, there was the cheerful voice of He Tangerine, the sister-in-law who was less than fifteen years old: "Mother, this snowflake candy is sweet, I love it the most, give me a pack!" ”

Mrs. He laughed in response, her voice full of pampering.

He had already seen He Chun'er pout, as if revealing a contemptuous smile.

Noticing her eyes, He Chun'er nodded her forehead angrily: "I want to eat sugar, you are useless, how can sugar have meat delicious, go, see if my sister will get you meat to eat later!" ”

Her attitude towards He Zao in private was pleasant, and He Zao always felt that it was probably because He Chun'er was weak because of the harm to the original body falling into the water, so he flattered her extraly.

She had only been here for a few days, and she didn't know everyone's temperament, and she was afraid of being exposed, so she only dug her lips and pretended to smile shyly.

Presumably she was such a character before, He Chun'er didn't care, she just smiled: "Still so timid, I don't know how you had the courage to be the boss in that room just now, dare to argue with the master and the second uncle!" ”

He Zao's eyes flashed, and he pretended to be a little sad: "I don't know why the eldest brother has to sell Qibao and me!" ”

He Chun'er's mouth was tightly closed, and he walked briskly towards the backyard with He Zao - to clean up the chickens, the He family usually goes to the backyard.

It wasn't until she came up from the well that she let out a long sigh, and her tone was so mature that she didn't look like a teenager: "The eldest brother lost his heart, he used to be fine, but in the past few years, he has lived with his aunt, and the more he raises it, the more he has no conscience!" ”

He Zao blinked his eyes, He Dabao lived in Aunt He's house in the town because he was studying, and he came back once in half a month and January, and after a meal, he left in a hurry, and he Laosan's family was indeed not close.

But He Chun'er is his half-sister of the same father and mother, so he should be more intimate.

But listening to her words, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Thinking about the relationship between Dabao and He Chun'er today, they are cold and indifferent, no different from others, so it can be seen that the two are not close.

When she was stunned, He Chun'er had already washed the meat with her hands and feet, and sent He Zao to the firewood room to get a clean board and kitchen knife, and neatly chopped the chicken, in He Zao's stunned gaze, she picked out two pieces of meat from the chicken belly, and ploughed a small piece of pork belly, handed it to He Zao, and whispered: "Take the poplar leaves and wrap them, and go to the basket of wild vegetables." ”

He Zao was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground.

Such an eldest sister, no wonder she hid a clay pot on the mountain, with such a fierce and bold daring to snatch food from the mouth of Mrs. He, it is no wonder that Qibao will respect her so much.

She was also a ghost elf, her big eyes flashed, she nodded vigorously, and took the fallen poplar leaves from under the poplar tree, wrapped the meat, and hid them in the basket where they were digging wild vegetables today.

As soon as they came back from the mountain, they were welcomed into the upper room to say things, the basket was full of vegetables, and it had not moved, and the pigs of the He family were usually fed by a few of them, and now there were many people in the front yard, so they could only hide the meat here first, and then send it back to their house in the dark after eating it was the safest.

Seeing her on the road, He Chun'er also smiled, cut the meat into dices, filled the basin and sent it to the front kitchen.

After all, it was the first time He Zao had done this kind of thing, and he was worried, and the Ma family, who took the basin, really flipped it over, and looked at the two of them with some suspicion: "Then the boss has a lump of meat, why is it like this?" Your sister is two gluttonous cats, shouldn't they steal them? ”

He Zao's heart was beating uncontrollably.

"Auntie, you and Zao'er are dogs, and you will eat this raw meat when you say you will eat it?" He Chun'er replied nonchalantly, and sat down in front of the stove like no one and put the position of Sibao: "Sibao, you go to play, I'll come!" ”

Sibao is a good hand at burning fire, but in the end, it is a boy, not only the He family, but also the entire Dadai Dynasty, and men don't cook.

Sibao will take the initiative to help because of his distressed mother, like other boys in the He family, it is estimated that he has never even entered the kitchen once.

Chen also accosted: "Yes, Sibao, you and Qibao go out, a few of us are enough!" ”

Qibao was still immersed in the shadow of almost being sold just now, tugging at Chen's trouser leg, not saying a word, and refusing to go out.

He had already scratched Qibao's nose and said with a smile: "Little Qibao'er, look at your strength, what's wrong?" ”

Qibao called softly: "Second sister! There was a sense of grievance in his black eyes like black grapes.

Ma sneered and pouted: "What's the matter, I must have been scared, what do you want to say, these two uncles are really ruthless, they want to sell your female baby and male baby, tsk, I want to make money crazy......" She made an exaggerated comparison: "Three hundred taels of silver, how old and a lot, I have never seen this old lot of silver in my life!" ”

A pair of shrewd eyes swirled around Qibao's body, and grinned: "If you exchange a boy for three hundred taels of silver, it will be worth it!" ”

What is old is a unique dialect of Wuxian Town, and it emphasizes the special meaning.

For example, if it's hot today, they will say, "It's hot!" ”

If you have a lot of silver, you will say, "Old many!" ”

Ma is actually not from Huaiqing Mansion, but the adjacent Fucheng, and her accent is different from that of He Zao, with many turns, a little boastful, but she looks a little beautiful, although she is already the mother of three children, but her skin is fair, and her eyes are picked, and you can see a trace of charm from it.

It's no wonder that Boss He, who lost his daughter-in-law at the beginning, didn't know her and didn't see her, so he went on a hunger strike to marry her. Boss He is a more honest character than He Laosan, and the three sticks can't make a muffled sound, so he made a mistake, and the whole family can't help it, Old Man He doesn't like Ma's personality, and the terrible eldest son really has something to do, so he had to nod and let Ma enter the door.

Chen was angry when she heard this, but she has never been good at arguing with people, so she only said lightly: "My Qibao is not that blessed, whoever falls in love will sell it!" ”

Ma's face sank, and he snorted coldly: "My family Dayang doesn't have that blessing, and he doesn't dare to beat my Dayang's idea!" ”

She glanced at Chen disdainfully.

Although in terms of life, she is far less diligent and capable than Chen's, and is likable, but as a mother, she is too strong, and the two oil bottles she brought have a very high status in the He family, and no one dares to underestimate it, even the most stingy and mean Mrs. He, who only dares to scold two sentences of "turtle cub" behind her back, and does not dare to scold a sentence in person.

Chen felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and his hand shaking lightly, but he didn't say anything.

He Zao didn't say anything, and Ma felt bored and stopped talking.

When it was time to stir-fry, Ma's envoy said: "Morning, you go and ask for salt from your milk!" ”

He Zao glanced at the empty stove and was speechless.

How poor is this He family, there are not many condiments, the only indispensable green salt is still in the hands of Mrs. He, isn't it that you have to ask for it every time you eat, and it's not too troublesome.

She wiped her hands and lifted the curtain to go out.

When I came to the upper room, there was a happy scene in the house.

Old Man He and Boss He chatted, and He Tanger, He Xia'er, He Qiu'er, and He Dong'er sat around the kang table, laughing and eating snowflake candy chips.

Da Bao and Er Bao didn't know where they went, and Liubao was sitting next to Liu, with a bulging mouth, obviously eating.

Dayang, Forsythia, Sanbao, Wubao, I didn't see it when I came back early today, and I don't know where to play.

When she came in, no one in the room cared.

He Zao walked to the kang and said crisply to Mrs. He, who was leaning on the kang and closing her eyes: "Milk, aunt let me get salt!" ”

Mrs. He glanced at her: "Haven't fried yet?" ”

He Zao pouted secretly, can you stir-fry without salt! But he replied sweetly: "Hey, just wait for the milk to get the salt!" ”
