As soon as Liu Dongniang saw them coming back, she hurried to the stove room to serve them food.

In recent years, most of the families have a hard time, there are almost no major events or real relatives, and few people have left food.

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong ran outside for a day, and they were hungry at noon.

Sure enough, the steamed buns and stews were served on the table, and Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong ate them devouring.

Zhuzhu was playing on the side, but at this time, she looked at her father on the left and her second uncle on the right, and her distressed little fat face twitched.

"Mother, mother! Give my meat to my father and second uncle to eat, I'm not hungry, give it to my father! ”

Yang Lihua was amused and sat down with her daughter in her arms.

When marinating the salted meat just now, the fat girl asked why the meat was put in the salt, and she answered casually, keeping it for the fat girl to fry the meat shuttle with porridge in the future.

As a result, the fat girl remembered.

At this time, she felt sorry for her father and second uncle, and she couldn't wait to take them out.

Yang Lihua patted her daughter and coaxed, "It's enough for your father and second uncle to have these meals, and the rest of the meat will be eaten later." ”

After that, she asked Xiang Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong, "Why haven't you eaten outside?" ”

Tai Jizu smiled bitterly and responded, "This period of time at home is better, and I am used to it, and I think every family is like this." Outcome...... After walking a few houses, I was really reluctant to eat other people's food. ”

Tai Jizong also sighed and echoed, "Yes, I went to a master's house, four sons and thirteen grandchildren, and cooked a pot of sorghum rice and wild vegetable porridge. I see that those children are all big-headed and small-necked, and I really can't bear to share another bowl. If I eat a bowl, maybe one of the children will go hungry! ”

Liu Dongniang brought pickles over, and when she heard this, she said, "If our family hadn't been blessed with Zhuzhu, we would have meat to eat every once in a while, and Jiye would have tossed a lot of work back, I'm afraid it would be the same to tighten your belt and live." ”

When it comes to Tai Jiye, everyone is worried.

"I don't know where Jiye and Yong'an have gone, everyone is still asking me today." Yang Lihua was helpless, "But I don't have clairvoyance, how do I know where they went." ”

After that, she pulled the veil to wipe her daughter's mouth, and teased her, "Does Zhuzhu miss the third uncle and the eldest brother?" ”

"Thought!" The fat girl nodded vigorously, and the little milk fat on her face trembled, and she responded crisply, "The third uncle will be back soon, bring delicious and fun to Zhuzhu!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and children were just greedy for food and play.

But Yang Lihua breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and what her daughter said was not untrue.

She said that the third child will come back soon, and she will definitely not be able to meet people in three or five days.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said to her concubine, "Dong Niang, I've been embroidering in a hurry these days, and the family wants you to be tired." In the house where the third child and Yong'an lived, the kang was burned once a day, and the clothes and pants they often wore were also washed and dried. ”

"Got it, sister-in-law. Leave these little things to me, you don't have to worry about them. Liu Dongniang responded with a smile, and then talked about trivial matters, "The fine noodles I bought last time are almost used for steamed buns today." After a few days, I will go into the city and buy some back, the third child and Yongan both like to eat steamed dumplings and make more when they come back. ”

While he was talking, the old man came back from below with his hands behind his back, followed by the juggling sesame balls.

In fact, it is a little inappropriate to call sesame balls now, this dog eats well and sleeps well, and it is the blood of the grassland mastiff, it is simply a long wind, and now it is twenty pounds, and the legs are so high.

But the family was used to being called, and no one wanted to change their name.

Every day before dark, the old man would take it to walk around the front and back of the house to check whether there were any hidden dangers everywhere and whether there was any smell of strangers.

Of course, this is also a joyous moment for sesame balls to pee freely and mark the turf.

So much so that the big dark horse who likes to join in the fun, it is rare that he refuses to follow them, and he really can't get used to seeing a certain dog......

"The eldest and second are back, how are things going?"

The old man took out his cigarette pouch and pot, and clicked it a few times.

Tai Jizu hurriedly responded, "Dad, we don't have any land sold nearby, but there are many elderly people and children in the west of the Sancha River who are hungry, and they plan to go to the south to make a living in frustration." I looked at a few places, and there were ten acres of upper land and five acres of middle land next to each other, and it was estimated that about 100 taels could be taken down. ”

The old man nodded and sighed softly, "The past few years have been too wild, and this year it is raining, and many people are afraid that they will not have confidence." ”

Tai Jizu ate half a steamed bun again, and then put down the chopsticks.

"Dad, if you buy this fifteen acres of land, the villagers of Sanchahe can also help take care of it. You don't need them to do any work, at least take a double look at it, and don't be harmed. But no matter how far away you are, you can't plant without silver. It's a bit of a mess out there! ”

"What, what's wrong with you? But hurt? Yang Lihua was smart, and immediately heard that this was wrong, and quickly looked Tai Jizu up and down.

Tai Jizu was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand in response, "No, I'm fine." You brought me those two steamed buns in the morning...... I gave a little kid a belly pad, but I was surrounded by a group of children, and I almost didn't get out! ”

This time, without waiting for Yang Lihua to speak, the old man had already glared and taught his son, "How old are you, why don't you have long eyes!" How many times have you been told, don't be a good person! If you go alone, if someone else has a bad heart, you will be killed outside, and your family will not know about it! ”

Yang Lihua was also angry, she didn't relent, and followed the count.

"Dad is right, it's not winter now, the mountains are full of wild vegetables, and they can be planted in the garden. If you do your hands and feet, you won't go hungry! These children would rather be hungry than give themselves food, either they are used to being given alms, or their parents are too lazy and their words and deeds are too poor.

"Is the fifteen acres of land you want to buy in this village? If it's one, then we can't buy it! ”

Tai Jizu hurriedly waved his hand, anxious to explain, "No, it's not." I also felt that the people in this village were not good, and the poverty made people feel uncomfortable, so I hurried away. The fifteen acres of land are right next to the Sancha River, very close, really close! ”

Yang Lihua glared at him and stopped talking.

The old man knocked on the cigarette pouch and said, "Tomorrow, I'll go and see if I talk about it with the boss." ”

In order to relieve the siege of the eldest brother, Tai Jizong hurriedly diverted the conversation.

"Dad, I've got the craftsman in place, and I'll come over tomorrow to make the spinning wheel. The spinning wheel is not difficult, and it is estimated that ten units can be made in five or six days. ”

"Okay." The old man responded, and told him about the formation of a patrol in the village, and instructed, "You will take someone to build the grass shed tomorrow, just outside the wall of our house, and the patrol team will rest here in the future, and our family can take care of it more." ”

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong knew that someone was behind their backs and harmed their own family.

Hearing this, both of them paid attention to it and nodded their heads in response.
