Chapter 57: Together
Cheng San's brothers came out of Cheng Er's new house, and they were silent when they looked back and saw the "Cheng House" hanging on the door.
The door of a nearby house opened, and there was a "creak" on the secluded street, and someone popped out of the door and shrank back when they saw the Cheng brothers.
The Cheng brothers were inexplicable, and Cheng Wu muttered: "This person is sick, right?" Are we like bad guys? ”
Cheng Liu kept facing this side, and when he saw the person's face with sharp eyes, he hesitated: "How can I look at the woman who went shopping with my second brother before?" ”
This is a big melon, Cheng San and Cheng Si both looked at him in surprise.
Cheng Wu's eyes lit up, and he grabbed him and asked repeatedly, "Really?" Do you see clearly? Is it really that woman? ”
Cheng Liu pushed him away in disgust, "I didn't see it really bright, but I looked like it!" ”
Cheng Wu looked at the door, then looked at Cheng Zhai, touched his chin and thought: "You said, the second brother is in such a hurry to split up, will it have something to do with this woman?" ”
There was a voice from the gate of Cheng Er's house, several people hurriedly got into the car, Cheng San and Cheng Wuyi rushed to one, Cheng Liu was just about to get into the car that the fifth brother carried, but was grabbed by the fourth brother, "You get in that car!" ”
Cheng Liu watched the fourth brother sit next to the fifth brother, pouted, and sat in the back car.
Cheng Si waited for the ox cart to leave the city before asking, "What did you just say about the second brother?" Let's talk about it for the fourth brother. ”
Cheng Wu shook a whip and laughed at him: "Fourth brother, do you also learn from those women to chew their wives' tongues?" ”
Cheng Si glared at him: "What chewing wife's tongue?" I'm concerned about my second brother. You say that a woman chews her wife's tongue, be careful I tell your third sister-in-law and your daughter-in-law. ”
Cheng Wu grinned and muttered in a low voice: "Why don't I know that Fourth Brother, you not only love to chew the root of your tongue, but also complain?" ”
"It's about this, it's before the accident between the eldest brother and the father, if we hadn't watched it today, we would have forgotten about it......"
Cheng Wu said that he saw Cheng Er and a woman shopping that day, "Looking at that intimacy, it is not an ordinary relationship, this time I still live so close, what do you think the second brother thinks?" If the second sister-in-law knows about this, can't she fight with him? ”
Cheng Si sighed twice, "The second brother has also learned to spend all these years outside!" ”
He sighed, a little puzzled: "You say, where did the second brother get the money to learn to raise a foreign house?" ”
"Are you so sure it's an outhouse?"
"Hmph, this kind of thing is not uncommon for your fourth brother when I run outside, you look at it, there is trouble!"
When they went home, the brothers didn't talk to their mother about it, but the matter of moving and inviting wine did not fall, Cheng Wu pouted: "The second brother must still have a lot of money in his hands, there must be seven or eight rooms in front and back of the house, and the yard is not small in the county seat." This is for him to live in vain, and I don't believe it if he is killed. ”
Cheng San said a word for the second brother kindly: "Not necessarily, didn't the second brother say that he only paid a little rent, that is, he meant it." ”
Cheng Liu had the same expression as Cheng Wu: "What about the banquet?" Such a good table can't be a table of silver or two? Anyway, I see that my second brother doesn't blink when he takes out silver, to say that there is no silver to call such an expensive banquet? I don't believe it either. ”
Cheng Si laughed and said: "I thought of it when the second brother broke up, isn't this normal?" Like me, I don't have any money, so I never think about separating my family. ”
The old lady was pale-faced by the words of her sons, and she snorted heavily, "Okay, don't give him eye medicine in front of me." After the family was separated, although he was still my son, I couldn't care too much about him. ”
It's not that he can't, it's that he won't listen to himself anymore.
The old lady was not confused at all, and she knew it in her heart!
However, she also plans to go to the county in a few days to see in person, and she can't just be confused.
She changed the subject and asked, "There is nothing to do in the winter now, have you figured out how to make some money?" ”
Cheng San said to his mother: "I discussed with the fourth child, and we all want to go to the county to see if we can find a job while it is still cold." If it doesn't work, you can collect firewood and sell it in the city, and it is better to earn three melons and two dates a day than to wait for it! ”
The old lady frowned: "Not yet." ”
Yang said: "Mother, this matter, you listen to my opinion first, see if it's okay?" ”
Everyone looked at her, and the old lady motioned for her.
Yang Shi stared at so many pairs of eyes in unison, she blushed a little, she shouted softly, "Chu Qi," and explained to the old lady: "It was discussed by a few of them on Chu Qi, I think it's okay, you can try." Let me tell you about the seventh day of the first month! ”
This kid is bold, and it was she who first proposed it, so she said that it was the most suitable.
Cheng Chuqi didn't shirk either: "Grandma, uncles and aunts, I have discussed with my sister and brother, sister-in-law, and Yunniang in the past few days, we all feel that the winter farming time is long, whether it is in the town or in the county, especially Nian Gen'er, there are many people who go to the street to wander or purchase, why don't we set up a stall selling hot food in the county, so that those uncles and aunts who have come all the way to the city can eat hot soup and hot rice cheaply, and our family can still make some money......
The seventh day of the first year didn't say what food to sell, as long as she threw an introduction, there was no shortage of smart people in the Cheng family, and they would think of delicious and cheap food.
But what she didn't expect was that as soon as her words came out, the old lady was the first to object.
"It's not okay to go to the town and sell food!"
Chu Qi was puzzled: "Why? ”
"Although our Cheng family said that your father and your father are gone, they are not so downcast that they want your mother and aunts to sell food. Besides, it's okay to sell food and restaurants, but the stalls outside are outside on a cold day, and they don't make any money when they are sinned. ”
Cheng Chuqi wondered, "Aren't you ashamed that my uncles are going to work?" Don't be cold or guilty? ”
What kind of logic is this?
Yang hurriedly explained: "You kid! I don't understand your grandmother's benevolent heart, she is afraid that her mother and your aunts will be offended! But your uncles, your grandmother thinks it's okay. ”
Chu Qiyi understood it, she was a little surprised, and praised sincerely: "Grandma, you are really a good mother-in-law!" ”
The old lady was a little proud, "That's natural, don't say anything else, just say that in this village, there is no mother-in-law next to me who is better to my daughter-in-law than your grandmother and me." ”
She smiled and gave a thumbs up, and at the same time complained in her heart: The old lady who spoke coldly to her daughter-in-law before didn't know which one it was?
In fact, the old lady is a knife mouth, but her heart is not bad, and now that there is something at home, the daughters-in-law have not disappointed her, she is naturally willing to treat them better, and the family is more harmonious.
On the seventh day of the first month, he pointed to a few uncles: "That's easy to do!" What to cook and eat at home let the aunts do it, and then let the uncles pull it to the county to heat it up, they are still a little tired, they can still heat it up without being too cold, and they can make money, how good it is to kill two birds with one stone! ”
The old lady sighed: "You kid thinks too simply, make food, that's a person, what kind of flowers can you make?" What's more, not to mention others, it's your grandmother and me, I'd rather bring a cake to eat in the county than spend more money. Countrymen, even if they want to go into the city to buy and sell things in winter, it is also a flower that can be saved and spent. ”
Just ride your bike to the bar!
Cheng Chuqi understood, but she still said: "Grandma, you don't want to spend a few dollars to buy a hot bun, hot soup, hot noodles or something." What about you? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely buy it, the heat will drive away the cold, the body and stomach are warm, and then it is not expensive, and then go shopping or sell things again after eating, how good! ”
Cheng San hesitated, "I'll also buy a bowl of hot noodle soup." ”
Even Cheng San, who has always been diligent and thrifty, said this, not to mention her other sons, the old lady looked around and found that no one was unwilling except herself.
She pondered, "What can you sell?" If the cost is large, it will not be cost-effective. ”
The family talked about what you said and what I said.
Cheng Chuqi felt that his role was the end of it.
The three stinkers are still Zhuge Liang, not to mention that there are so many people in the Cheng family.
Soon discussed, Niu said: "Hot noodle soup, hot wonton, smash the pork bones to make soup, hot and hot to serve a bowl, it must be strong!" ”
Yang said: "You can also just sell hot soup, put less oil and salt, and just pay a penny for a bowl." It is also good that there are villagers who are reluctant to eat, and they can eat their own cakes with hot soup. ”
The Cheng family all nodded and thought it was good.
Cheng Chuqi sincerely praised: "Our family is kind-hearted!" Good people have good rewards, so they will work together for our family, and the days will definitely get better and better! ”
Once it was decided, it was done, and the Yang family still had a few taels of silver left from selling jewelry, and it was enough to save it.
Cheng Si and Cheng Wu are responsible for buying cauldrons, customizing wooden pots, wooden bowls and chopsticks, renting stalls, etc., Cheng San took three long-term workers to fetch firewood, all of which are to be cooked, and this firewood is indispensable. Cheng Liuze and Yunhui went from house to house to collect cabbage and radish, but they had it at home, but it was only enough to eat, and it was not enough to take it out and sell it.
The women, after everything was ready, prepared at home and in person. There are panels and big vegetable piers at home, you can wrap wontons at home, roll out the noodles, and take them to the county if they are slightly frozen, which will not spoil and melt, and some people will eat and cook them in a hot soup pot, which is particularly convenient.
Cheng Chuqi turned around a few times, only to find that Yang did not move.
Niu said: "How can you embroider when your mother's hand is rough?" ”
Did you work before?
In the past, she embroidered some simple purse handkerchiefs, first soaked her hands in hot water and then smeared with some lard, and only began to embroider after a quarter of an hour after wrapping the cloth, and she did not dare to start the large pieces. Now the one she embroidered, I have seen it in the cloth village, it is not as good as your mother's embroidery, it can be sold for two hundred yuan, your mother's one is still big and good-looking, I can sell it for four or five hundred yuan. ”
Cheng Chuqi understood.
The mother said, this time her embroidery is not kept privately, and all the money from the sale is handed over to the public, so it is necessary to maximize the benefits.
Chu Qi thought for a while, "Third aunt, I have figured out a delicious dish, can you try it?" If you want to try it well, let's get the county restaurant and sell it, and it is estimated that we can sell some silver. ”
Niu's curious "yo" and pushed her out, "Don't stop here, you can't cook, what delicious can you figure out?" Don't fool me with these things. ”
"I won't do it, but I can eat it! Third aunt, do you say that the braised method I said last time is more delicious? ”
Niu Shi thought for a while, "Don't say it's true!" It's also weird, the mouth of the person who can eat is Diao...... Okay, you say I'll listen, let's try it. ”
Cheng Chuqi told her about the simple version of fish-flavored shredded pork without chili peppers.
Niu Shi was stunned when he heard this: "Tell me if you just want to eat that melon in your head?" Can this be both oil and sugar? Who is willing to put so many ingredients, then it will be delicious! ”
