Chapter 315: A Little Abacus

This time on the black market, in addition to steamed buns, Qin Xi also bought two pork ribs.

At this time, the pork ribs were more expensive than during the Chinese New Year, and Qin Xi was reluctant to buy more at all, just these two costed her nearly two yuan.

At this time, the pigs grew up eating green plants, and the taste was very good, and the soup cooked out was with a little sweetness, and the feed pork of later generations could not be compared at all.

Therefore, these two pork ribs do not need to be blanched at all, they are directly cut into small pieces, and stewed with water.

There is only one water tank at home, so Qin Xi went directly to the kitchen next door to scoop water, and she directly took a bucket and carried most of the bucket to the small grass shed.

In addition to cooking, she and her brother have been busy all day today, so they have to wash with water! Maybe that's not enough!

In the past, the water in the kitchen tank was picked up by the two brothers Qin Jiang and Qin He in turn, but today, Qin Jiang went to the county seat, so the water in the water tank was picked up by Qin He.

Although it was just some water that didn't cost money, Liu Mei saw that Qin Xi had taken it away for nothing, she was distressed!

The environment determines the character, this sentence is very applicable to Liu Mei, she grew up in a very large family, her mother and aunts worry about trivial things every day, for fear that her family will suffer losses, she is naturally such a temperament, so when she saw Qin Xi carrying water and leaving today, she was also a little distressed in her heart.

Not to mention, because Qin Xi and the others took away the only big iron pot in the house, now she can only use a clay pot to cook with Qin He, which is not fun at all.

This unhappiness reached its peak at the smell of meat coming from outside the house during dinner.

With a "bang", Liu Mei slapped the dishes and chopsticks in her hand on the table: "Don't eat, it's boring." ”

"What's wrong with you? Not hungry? Qin He said helplessly.

There is not enough food at home, and now he can only eat two meals in the morning and evening, which is still thick, and he can't eat a dry meal a day, not even sweet potato rice, he never thought that he would live such a miserable life if he left his eldest brother and sister.

knew that he would live like this bear, and he would not listen to Liu Mei when he said anything, so he broke up with them.

"Hungry, but you smell it, what kind of life are other people, what kind of life are we living, others are eating meat, but we can't even eat sweet potato rice."

"It's too bullying."

Liu Mei won't admit that she is greedy!

In short, the days on both sides are too much different, and her eyes are red.

She has seen Qin Xi cook, sometimes she is willing to use lard to stir-fry vegetables, the two brothers and sisters can eat meat at least four or five times a month, regardless of whether it is bacon and bacon or pork ribs and fresh fish, compared with the next door, their little two eat every day like the pig food.

I knew that Qin Xi was so rich, she would be stupid to break up with her, and live a hard life with Qin He here.

"Then what's the solution, we only have that little money left, if we don't save some money, we don't have to wait until the end of the year, in less than two months, we may have to drink the northwest wind."

"Why don't you go and apologize to Xiaoxi, she is the most soft-hearted, as long as she forgives you, we will still be a family at that time, and we can eat together."

Qin He also regretted it, if there was a regret medicine for sale, he would have to buy one, and give him a slap in the face when he told Qin Xi about breaking up at that time.

In fact, the living standard of the young couple is not low, at least it is much better than the people in the village, not to mention compared with the Liu family, which has a large population, but the meat fragrance next door is too attractive.

With contrast, there is harm, who can not be hungry for meat!

Therefore, the two of them are now about to regret their intestines.

If Qinxi and Qinjiang, who live next door to the two, eat wild vegetables and sweet potatoes every day, they won't be greedy! When they eat every day, it may be delicious, because their small two bites eat better than the next door.

Although she regretted it in her heart, Liu Mei still stiffened her neck and said: "Impossible, I didn't do anything wrong, what happened to me, I have to apologize to her in a low voice, I am her sister-in-law, how can there be a reason for a sister-in-law to apologize to her sister-in-law." ”

If you don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, it is impossible to apologize, why!

If she bows her head this time, she will still be able to raise her head in front of Qin Xi in the future.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, don't go if you don't apologize, eat first."

This doesn't make sense at all, Qin He simply gave up, don't say it, don't apologize if you don't apologize!

"Don't eat it, this clear soup is low in water, what is there to eat, I'll starve to death."

The dispute between the two was clearly heard by Qin Xi and Qin Jiang.

She didn't understand, should these two people avoid someone when they talked!

This house is not a soundproof room, this is an ordinary mud room, and she can hear the voices of these two people clearly.

What made her feel unexpected was Qin He, his little abacus was about to collapse in her face, in other words, in Qin He's eyes, is she really so stupid and easy to handle?

To be honest, it was really embarrassing to hear the specifics of their conversation, and she didn't want to hear it.

As for Liu Mei's gluttony, she didn't pay attention to it at all, there was nothing to say, in this era, who is not hungry for meat! She's hungry for herself.

But whose daughter-in-law is raised, and I want her to help raise it, but there is no way, and I am not happy to ask.

Time came to the beginning of April in a blink of an eye, and the seedlings in the rice fields of Chenhui Village had already been able to go to the ground, but God didn't give it a try! It hasn't rained heavily until now, and there's still cracks in the ground!

Qin Xi didn't know what others thought of the weather the next day, anyway, she judged it by the sky at night, the bright moon was high, and there were no clouds, so the next day would definitely be a sunny day, on the contrary, the next day would be cloudy, and sometimes it would even rain.

Now the time has come for the village to give up the rice fields and concentrate on watering the drought-tolerant sweet potatoes and corn, or continue to work on both sides.

Now the villagers are a little unbearable, and the crops in the field look like they are wilting, and they know that they are not growing well at a glance.

Even if it is drought-tolerant sweet potatoes and corn, it does not rain in the sky, and it is not a matter for the villagers to water them with a load of water, they have not grown much at all, and they can barely maintain a half-dead state.

After all, I was drenched with a big scoop of water the evening before yesterday, and at noon the next day, it was dried by the scorching sun.

If it continues like this, it will not be useful to carry water, even if there is a lot of groundwater in the cave, it will not be able to withstand the villagers to pick it up like this!

In the cave closest to the village, the water level had dropped by more than a meter, and it seemed that it would not last long.
