Chapter 140: The Seventh Cane 12
Yuelai Town is a very remote town, surrounded by the Yuelai River, every rainy season comes, the river water soars, often a night or half a day on the water rises ten meters, the town is flooded a floor is very normal, after all, there is this every year, the people in the town are used to it.
As soon as I saw the rainstorm falling, I must have cleaned up the ground floor in advance.
Otherwise, when the river recedes, the mud and sand in the half-story house will not be cleaned.
The house of the slag is not in the town.
Although it can't be flooded, it's not far away.
Crucially, the torrential rain not only flooded the vegetable market, but also flooded the roads, and the ferries and buses did not run
Keeping pigs at home is very food-intensive.
It's better to slaughter and sell.
That night, the wind stirred the bamboo forest, bringing a touch of coolness.
After dinner, the father and daughter were busy.
The second sister boiled water.
The eldest sister helps.
The white knife goes in, and the red knife comes out.
By four o'clock in the morning, the two pigs were finally cleaned up, and even the big bucket of fat sausages did not have the slightest smell under the efforts of the eldest sister and the second sister.
"You two go to sleep."
Nothing else.
He's going to squint for a while, too.
The large fan blows on the pork on the cart, which is not only to prevent mosquitoes, but also to prevent the pork from smelling.
There are also several plates of mosquito coils lit not far away.
Thirty.
Song Shi opened his eyes and ruthlessly woke up the girl who was sleeping soundly.
The two girls opened their eyes in a daze.
Song Shi: "Get up!" Get to work! ”
Wait for this half day to get through and sleep as much as you want.
The two of them got up with their brains in a mess, and slowly moved according to their body instincts, and they were awake as they moved.
The second sister looked puzzled.
Why did you have to help out at the stall this time?
In this regard, Song Shi only had four words for her, and she was treated equally.
It doesn't make sense to be two years old, twelve or ten years old, and treat them differently, right?
Fairness starts with the baby.
Otherwise, it hurts feelings.
The father and daughter pushed the cart, which had been subjected to too much, and slowly moved forward in the faint light.
They are all people who live by the river, and everyone feels the change in the weather, and if you look at the old calendar, you will see that the rainy season is coming.
The road was full of people carrying baskets.
Song Shi turns on the flicker mode.
"Fresh pork, just killed this morning."
"Flickering? Who am I fooling? Who doesn't know me Song Laosan is the most honest and sincere in the whole month, this pig is I pulled back from whom's house yesterday, don't believe it, just ask! ”
"Buy! What do you buy more? I can't buy so much to eat, oh feed my brother, look at this day, go and see the river, how much water has risen, don't stock up on some meat, wait for two days of heavy rain and flood the streets, at least two markets will not be opened, and you won't be able to buy meat if you want to. ”
"Afraid of bad? It's not simple, buy some fatty meat, buy some pork belly and fry it with home-made pickles, there is oil soaked and it can't be broken, or buy a pig's knuckle and go back to stew, take out the fat and stir-fry it with green peppers or something. There are many people in the family, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish eating! ”
"Big sister and second sister, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you find a bag to put it up!"
Because the river is about to rise in the moon, today's pork sold very smoothly, and then sold part of it in the stall, and even sold one of the pig brains, saying that it was a thank you matchmaker, and in the end there were only some not very good bubble meat, which were all given to the big customers who were fooled to death as an additive.
The big customers left satisfied.
Song Shi sat on a stool with a bag containing money on his waist and instructed the two girls to pack up their things.
Zhou Lan came over with a basket on her back, first glanced at the stall, and suddenly felt a sigh in her heart, pretending not to care about greeting, "Yo, third child, the meat is selling so fast today!" ”
Song Shi lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, yawning, "Sister-in-law wants to buy meat?" Then you're late, isn't the water starting to rise in the river, and I'm worried that I won't be able to start the game, so I bought more and went back. As he spoke, he pointed to the other side, "You go over there and have a look, maybe there's still left." ”
Zhou Lan looked incredulous, "It's all sold out?" You don't have it at home? ”
What does this third mean?
In the past, every once in a while, they would leave some meat for the two girls to send over.
I haven't sent it for many days!
She came to ask in person today, and the result was good, saying no!
Guess she believed it or not!
Pi smiled and didn't smile, "Two days ago, my parents were still talking about the tastelessness in my mouth." ”
"Then sister-in-law add two more handfuls of salt to stir-fry." Song Shi said casually.
Zhou Lan: "."
I was choked.
But the daughter-in-law of Yuelai Town will not admit defeat easily in this area.
immediately smiled and said, "The third child, what you say is funny, what can you do with two more handfuls of salt, you can have meat to eat?" ”
"Then there must be no meat to taste, so didn't I ask my sister-in-law to go over there to have a look, if you delay any longer, you really won't be able to buy meat."
Zhou Lan was so angry that she turned around and left.
Buying meat?
Buy a hammer!
I don't see if those two old ones deserve to let her spend money!
It's a big deal not to eat a family!
While walking, I complained to people, "The two old ones are raised in my house, and the old Sanyi pork seller is reluctant to even give his parents a piece of meat", "Who called us the eldest son", "Selfish and selfish, no wonder God doesn't let him have a son", etc., every sentence is the loss of her family.
So Song Shi went home a little later than usual today.
"When I first split up, I said it well, and I invited the village chief and captain to be a witness, but now I regret it, don't fight for the old one at that time if I have the ability" "I want to bear it, you can, take out the old house and the money that was allocated to them at the beginning and redivide it" "How much money did the two old ones take the children who have been in his house for a long time make up for it, and it has to be the same in my house" "How much meat did my family send to the past, saying that it was for the old to eat, and whose mouth ended up, if anyone lied, he would have no money to buy meat to eat in his life".
It's not that he won't say these things.
Zhou Lan stood in the courtyard and scolded Sang Huai, and then angry at the man, "Your brother's mouth is more broken than a woman!" ”
Song Rongman didn't care, "Isn't it just a piece of pork, and the family can't afford it." ”
"Doesn't it cost money to buy meat? You've earned a few belongings to buy meat for me! ”
Zhou Lan's words made Song Rong speechless.
He can't make any money.
He had no place to make money.
But in this town, aren't all the people in ten miles and eight towns similar to him?
Song Rong shook his head, don't worry about this angry woman, the weather is good today, it's cool, he plans to go to hoe in the afternoon.
The meat has been sold out.
Song Shi put away the knives.
So I took my two daughters to the market for a walk.
I bought some marinades, spices and fruits, weighed two catties of biscuits, and bought a good-looking hairpin for the eldest sister and the second sister when I passed by the grocery stall.
Then I pushed the cart home.
Huang Simei soaked the noodles in advance, and at noon, she had a big bowl of shredded rice noodles with sauerkraut and pork, and people were sweating profusely.
