He Zao also smiled and said: "Fourth uncle, this is not only today, it is estimated that I will have to ask you to help in the future, this Bai knock will collect a lot, and my father can't send it alone." This money is used to buy some food for Wubao, and it can't be for you to help in vain! ”

He Laosi still refused, and his heavy brows were furrowed together: "Brother of the family, what do you say, third brother, quickly put away the money." ”

He waved his big hands and spoke roughly.

"My brother is settling accounts, fourth uncle, you are not busy at home now, just come to help for a few days, my grandfather and my grandmother are not easy to explain."

He Zao told the truth.

If He Laosi had been coming to help Sanfang, Mrs. He would not have worked at all.

He Laosi paused, hesitated for a while, and then reluctantly nodded: "That also means that you will win, your family's silver is blown by the wind, and three taels is too much!" ”

"Help load the car for two days, and then go back and forth to the county, fourth uncle, how about a tael of silver a day?"

He Zao asked.

Carrying thousands of pounds of cypress seeds was a strenuous task, and it also took up an afternoon. But He Laosi is a person who can do odd jobs to earn money, and this afternoon cannot be wasted in vain.

Although He Laosi felt that it was more, he thought about it and did not refuse again.

He Laosan asked Sibao to go to the old house to tell Old Man He that he had arrived home, so he strongly invited He Laosi to eat at home, and asked Sibao to bring Wubao to have a delicious meal together.

During the day, Chen stewed the four pig's trotters and pig's tail together according to the method He Zao said.

First use a clamp to pick the pig's trotters and the pig hair on the tail, then put it in the porcelain pot, put in cold water, then pour in ginger and shallots, sorghum wine, a piece of gauze to wrap the fennel peppercorns tightly, put them together, and then boil over high heat, skim off the white foam, then use low heat to stew, after simmering for half an hour, stir the bottom of the pot, so as not to be paste, and then put in three spoons of salt. Simmer for more than an hour, use a large wok, put in the meat oil, use chopped ginger, onion and garlic to taste, pour the pig's trotters and pig's tail into it together, then pour in soy sauce, three spoons of brown sugar, and two spoons of salt, scoop in a large spoonful of the previously boiled pig's trotter soup, boil, stir, until the pig's trotters and pig's tails are dyed red sauce, and you can get out of the pot.

When He went to the county seat early, the pig's trotters had just been stewed, and when he came back, he had already put it on the dining table, steaming a little, and he could smell the tempting fragrance from a distance.

He Zao's saliva was almost dripping.

Especially after earning a sum of money, eating fat pig's trotters like this, with shortbread bought at the grocery store, and drinking pig's trotter soup, He Zao thought that she was really about to swallow her tongue.

Chen and He Chun'er didn't dare to eat, so they only tasted a little white meat, but each scooped a bowl of soup to drink.

Sibao and a few boys have no scruples, one person has half a pig's trotter, his head is buried in the bowl and eats heavily, and Wubao even asks for half a pig's tail, so he eats happily.

He Laosi saw that his son was eating deliciously, and his eyes were very gentle.

After eating Sibao for a while, he suddenly remembered something, looked up and said, "Dad, when I went over, the eldest lady wanted to go to the mountain to knock on the cypress!" I want Forsythia to go with Ohio. Ask us if we accept it! ”

He Zao wrinkled his nose.

He Laosan didn't think so much, and nodded directly: "In China, we still collect miles from people in other villages, why don't you accept it from the family!" ”

Sibao and He Zao glanced at each other, and their tone was calm: "Grandma said that the uncle's family is difficult, and it is not easy to make money, so let's not draw money!" ”

He Laosi was helping Wubao to pick up vegetables, and when he heard the words, he put down his chopsticks, and his tone was a little dissatisfied: "How can my mother say this, everyone in a village is like this, why do you always want to be special and take advantage." ”

It's not because it's a family, so it's ruthless and stress-free to exploit.

"What do you say?" Mrs. He's attitude was negligible, but He Zao wanted to know what Old Man He thought.

Sibao lowered his head: "Our master didn't say anything, but looking at the situation, he seems to agree!" ”

He Zao is not surprised, in the opinion of the old man He, making money is small, but a family should have the appearance of a family, so it should not be entangled in that little bit of money, if the third room can take the initiative not to draw a big house. In this way, it is the manifestation of a harmonious family!

"Brother Yang and Sister Forsythia, we don't have to take a cut, but the eldest lady and sister-in-law are necessary." He Zao smiled, and his tone was a little cold: "Why are we dividing, our grandmother, the eldest lady and sister-in-law are the culprits, let's not mention it, but it doesn't mean that this matter is over, our mother's hair is still there, if they are not satisfied, tell our mother's hair!" ”

He Laosan was silent for a while, and nodded slowly: "Zhong, just do what you say in the morning." ”

He Laosi also nodded: "The two children are nephews and nieces in the end, and they have to be taken care of, and the rest, Zao'er is reasonable." ”

In fact, he was a little surprised that he could say these words.

Before, He Laosi basically had a wise attitude of protecting himself, and he had always stayed out of the situation and encounters of Sanfang, but this time, it was obviously different.

What changed him?

Chan did not comment.

The next morning, Qibao really came to He Zao's ear mysteriously like a little secret agent and whispered: "Second sister, our grandmother, sister-in-law, and eldest lady have gone up the mountain together." ”

He Zao asked him to pay attention to the movements of the old house, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up, urging Qibao and He Chun'er to go up the mountain, and he used a small cloth bag to fill some sun-dried honeysuckle and went to the old house.

Old man He was pulling weeds in the vegetable patch in the backyard, the cigarette stick was pinned behind his waist, his trouser legs and the hem of his clothes were stained with stars and mud, and his forehead was sweating, which showed that he had been pulling it for a long time.

He Zao smiled and handed the honeysuckle to Old Man He: "Master, I have brought you honeysuckle, soak in water every day to drink, it is good for your throat." ”

Probably because of the hot weather, Old Man He's throat has been a little dry and hoarse these days.

When the latter saw that it was her, he showed a kind smile: "It's Zao'er, isn't your family busy now?" ”

He took the honeysuckle, flipped it over, smelled it again, and was very satisfied: "It's a good sun." ”

He Zao bent his eyebrows proudly: "Master, now that the talent has just gone up the mountain, it is noon." ”

Old Man He nodded and pointed to the cucumber on the other side of the ground: "If you are thirsty, go pick cucumbers and eat." ”

He Zao waved his hand, squatted down and looked curiously at Old Man He's action of pulling weeds, and then smiled: "Grandpa, grandma and eldest lady have all gone up the mountain to pull the cypress?" ”

Old Man He nodded: "This is also a big entry, and it is idle at home, so it is better to go to activities." ”

His face was calm, but it seemed to have a deep meaning.

He Zao wanted to know whether he meant that Mrs. He was too idle or He Tanger'er was too idle to cause trouble.

"Master, our family discussed, and the grandmother said that she wouldn't let us take a cut, but you also saw it when we split up, it was the milk and the eldest lady and the sister-in-law who moved first, my mother's body is not very good now, and we don't want the big brother and sister forsythia's draw, but the others have to follow the rules!"

Old Man He paused in pulling weeds and looked up at He Zao.

The latter smiled slightly, and his dark eyes were calm and unwavering.
