Chapter 60: Killing the Pigs

The Cheng family was busy in full swing, and the only outsider in the family, Xue Yunniang, who was also an idler, couldn't sit still.

"On the seventh day of junior high school, I'll help you! I don't know how to cook, but I can help you with needlework. ”

Cheng Chuqi felt that if she felt comfortable, she would follow her, but who knew that she would be rejected by the old lady just when she mentioned it. "We received someone's hairpin, this hairpin is still inlaid with gems, not to mention it is worth two taels of silver, enough for her to live in our house for half a year, how can we still let people help us work? What's going on? ”

Cheng Chuqi spread his hands towards Xue Yunniang.

Xue Yunniang didn't force it, but she was not idle, she always helped them do this and that, and did some idle work.

The old lady said to her granddaughter in private: "Although Yun Niang didn't say it, but my old lady also knows that her background must be extraordinary, although she is in trouble now, but if she returns home in the future, it will be known that there is needlework and thread left outside, and it will not be good for her reputation." She is a young lady from a large family, and we are different from those of small families. ”

Cheng Chuqi said this to Yun Niang in private, Yun Niang was silent for a long time, although she did not admit it, she did not refute it, but sighed and said to her: "You have such a wise family member, and you will get up again soon." ”

But if there are no scholars, no matter how much wealth you have, it will be in vain.

Thinking so, he went to see Yun Hui studying, no one in the family could teach him, and there was only a children's school in the village, Yun Zong and Yun Zhou were studying in it, and Yun Hui could only wait for the year to go to the county school.

Yunhui has experienced a series of changes and looks more calm, but Chu Qi knows that this is just an appearance.

In fact, he is not as confident as before.

The best way to educate him is to build up his self-confidence.

Chu Qi never felt that the knowledge of the ancients was shallow, not to mention those obscure ancient texts, that is, traditional and vertical, she looked big.

She somewhat understands students who want to sleep when they read a book.

She is now half-la, so she forces herself to study for two hours a day, starting from the basics, starting from the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text" that were enlightened by children.

She is not a real child, these are all learned, she has been able to read a book in two days, but in Yang's eyes, her daughter does not like to study and is very impatient.

You see that she made clothes for the family, and drew a handful of clothes that looked like and went the same way, and she didn't care.

The small food business made by the family was also handed over to a few uncles, and they helped to do the work for a few days before picking a child.

Yang is a little worried, it's a good thing that her daughter is smart, but she doesn't have a long personality to worry about.

In the winter months, more farmers kill pigs.

The Cheng family killed early, they raised five pigs this year, one of which was sent to Cheng Er, and they kept these four.

In the past month or so, the family's income is not small, and the old lady decided to keep most of the pork, so that she can have a good year without buying meat all winter.

There are so many people in the family, half of the pork is a good year, and the old lady was pestered on the seventh day of the new year, until she promised to leave a whole pig and was not satisfied.

When the pig was killed, the seventh day of the first month went to see the excitement, but the pig screamed so that she didn't dare to step forward, and when the pig was killed and unloaded into large pieces, she carefully leaned over, pointed to the big pork stumbling blocks piled up on the ground and said: "Third uncle, you keep all the pig's small intestines for me, and the pig pancreas are also kept for me, I am useful." ”

Cheng San laughed at her: "What do you want your intestines for?" That thing stinks like. ”

Chu Qi rolled his eyes: "I didn't see you don't eat the feces in the large intestine." ”

It's all delicious.

Cheng San was choked by her and waved his hand: "Hurry up and go back, there's something bloody here." ”

Niu asked Chu Qi with a smile: "Let's eat pig killing dishes at noon, do you think about anything delicious?" ”

In front of several long-term workers, she didn't say it too thoroughly, but just squeezed her eyes towards Chu Qi.

Chu Qi understands that the third aunt is worried that she can figure out a new recipe for eating!

She had too much in her head, but she didn't want to take it out again, but seeing that the third aunt was in a hurry, she thought for a while, "Third aunt, wait for me to think about it, but you have to ask the third uncle to make me a few small frames like this first......"

She gestured to the shape and size, "It's made of wood, it's easy to nail." ”

Niu smiled: "It's so nailed, why don't you look for your fifth uncle and sixth uncle?" ”

"They're too stupid......"

Before she finished speaking, her head was cold, and she came out to see the excitement and only wore a hat with thin cotton wool, and now the hat was taken away, and the cold wind blew in, making her feel cold.

"Fifth uncle!" She turned around and snatched the hat in his hand, and when she saw that he didn't give it, she called out to the old lady, "Grandma~"

Cheng Wu said "Sue Jing", and hurriedly buckled the hat on the old lady's head before she scolded him.

The old lady glanced at her, "What are you messing with her?" I made her sick in the cold, and I don't want to whip you with a flat pole. ”

Cheng Wu whispered to her: "Look at how powerful your milk is, you have to beat me with a flat pole." ”

Chu Qi straightened his hat and glared at him with a snort, "Who made you offend me." ”

Cheng Wu pouted: "Who told you to call me stupid." ”

"You're stupid, why don't you give me a try?"

In this way, there is no need to wait for the third uncle to be free.

You must know that he is busy now, he is only at home today when he kills pigs, the fourth and sixth uncles go to the county to set up a stall, and with Yun Xiu's help, he can barely be busy.

Cheng Wu laughed, "Forget it, I'm stupid......"

Fu Shi burst out laughing, Cheng Wu looked back at her, and saw Zhang Erya standing far away, his face sank, "Why is she here?" ”

Chu Qi also saw it when he looked back, and he couldn't help frowning, this Zhang Erya really has a lot of eyes, her grandfather and father died, and she came to wear linen and filial piety for the two of them despite her opposition, which made the old lady and Yang's attitude towards her change a lot.

Chu Qi didn't like her because she hurt Yun Hui in the way she used.

You can pursue your own happiness, but hurting others is too much.

Zhang Erya timidly went to greet the old lady, "My grandfather and my grandmother asked me to come over." ”

Her grandfather and her grandmother asked her to come and see, "You don't aunt and grandmother have killed pigs and sheep in previous years, and we are far away from getting any benefits." You go over and see, you are now the daughter-in-law of his Cheng family, if you kill the pig, I don't believe that your aunt and grandmother can leave our family again. ”

Zhang Erya didn't say the latter words, she also wanted to be face-saving, and she was not willing to do anything.

The old lady smiled slightly: "Who sent you?" ”

"My father and my third uncle."

As she spoke, the two of them stepped forward, "Sister-in-law, let's take a look, yo, this is really a coincidence, sister-in-law's family kills New Year's pigs?" Then I'm in for a treat......"

Zhang Mutou said and sucked his saliva, the embarrassment made Zhang Erya look away, but Zhang Shi was used to it, "Yes, sister-in-law is really coincidental," he said and rolled up his sleeves: "I'll help." ”

I also dragged the second brother, it's really a wood, don't you help with a mouth?

The old lady looked at Zhang Erya, who bowed her head and was silent, her expression was more relaxed, but this is not a shameless girl, "Are your father and your grandmother okay?" ”

"Okay, it's just that I always talk about my aunt and grandmother, and I think about your body."

The old lady smiled: "I'm afraid that if I'm gone, this relative will be even weaker, and I won't be able to do any good!" ”

Zhang Erya waved her hand in fear: "No, it's not ......"

The old lady didn't embarrass her, "Go ahead, let's go and play with the seventh day of the first month!" ”

Zhang Erya looked at Chu Qi, and when she saw that she didn't look at herself, she couldn't help but be gloomy, "Chu Qi's sister doesn't like me." ”

The old lady didn't look down on her like this, "We know best in the seventh day of junior high school, since she doesn't like you, you should think about what you have done that she doesn't like?" ”

You can't think about it, and you don't feel comfortable thinking about it.

The old lady ignored her, and Zhang Erya had some tears in her eyes, standing there helplessly.

The Yang family has also been thinking about it for a long time these days, and this family matter cannot be retreated, so she is her eldest daughter-in-law.

Whether it is the current petty family, or the kind of embarrassing thing that was done before, it is not the blessing of the Cheng family.

She hesitated but stepped forward, called Zhang Erya and said, "You go and help your third aunt make a fire, and let's eat pig-killing vegetables at noon." ”

Zhang Erya responded happily and rushed over to Niu's, "Third aunt, I'll light the fire." Tell me what you want. ”

Niu Shi glanced at his sister-in-law, and when he saw that she nodded slightly, he smiled and pointed to the rows of slightly neat firewood: "You take that earthen basket to carry some firewood to the main house, and today you stew in the main house, you burn the two cauldrons." ”

In this way, the old lady of the east house and the kang of the big house of the west house will be hot.

Zhang Erya responded crisply, "yes"!

She is not afraid of work, she is afraid that no one will pay attention to her, and she will not even be able to work.

The old lady glanced at Yang, and Yang whispered: "Mother, I've thought about it for a long time, since this marriage is settled, it's better to let her come home earlier, and I will teach her well." While she's still young, she can always teach one or two. ”

The old lady also knew that this was the best, so she sighed, "Now that you have decided, do it!" ”

But the seventh day of the first month was opposed.

Who knows what will be in her mind?

She can't come to be blessed, can she?

Everyone is working, but she doesn't do it alone, will she feel that her family has rejected her and not treated her family?

But if she wants to be allowed to work, will she feel that the Cheng family bullies her again? Don't treat her as a human being?

Don't think she's thinking too much, there are a lot of people like this, looking at things is always contrary to people, and she can always find something new, special, and even a little anti-human to look at the problem from a different angle, in order to show that she is smart and different.

Yang was hard-hearted this time, and didn't listen to the seventh day of the junior high school, "You can't always look at people with old eyes, she is still young, and she may be able to teach her well, so that she marries into our family is also a good thing for us and your brother." But if she is in Lao Zhang's family, I am afraid that she will be as stupid as her mother, and as greedy as her father, then it will really hurt your brother! ”

Therefore, the Yang family is a little strict with Zhang Erya, and the requirements are also very high.

At noon, Niu's main stove, a large pot of pig killing dishes, don't cook a big pig's head in a pot.

Zhang Mutou almost didn't hold out until he vomited, Zhang Shi has a lot of private houses, and he will go to the town to make a tooth sacrifice on weekdays, but he is not as unproductive as him.

When leaving, the old lady brought them a piece of meat, more than three catties, Zhang Mutou carried it for a long time, "Sister-in-law, I think the big pig's head is very good, why don't you put it on me?" ”

Niu Shi rolled his eyes and muttered, "The face is really big!" ”

Chu Qi also agreed, "But isn't it? ”

She said loudly: "Uncle Zhang's cousin, the pig's head was boiled and sold in the town, and our family sold it for a good year." Or do you leave that piece of meat behind? I'll cut you a piece of pig's head and put it on. ”

This meat is very fat, Zhang Mutou is reluctant, "Then forget it!" ”

It's uncomfortable to think about, "Sister-in-law, is this girl in charge of your family now?" ”

The old lady said lightly: "Chu Qi is right, your uncle is gone, your eldest cousin is gone, and now the family has no money, why don't you let your father and mother lend me some money?" ”

Zhang Mutou laughed dryly: "Sister-in-law, you are really joking, our family is so poor that they are almost bleeding, and my father and mother are still wondering everywhere about how to get the money......

Almost deserted.

The old lady was a little puzzled and asked Zhang Erya: "You gave a lot of silver at the beginning, but your grandmother could not have spent it?" ”

Zhang Erya smiled bitterly: "My third uncle spent seven or eight taels to build a house, and he told him about family affairs, and the bride price cost a total of five taels." ”

When Zhang Shi got married, the Cheng family had just held a funeral not long ago, so they did not come to the door to celebrate.

"There are also four pillars of family affairs, which are also five taels ......"

The old lady originally promised to find a job for the two children, but later decided on Zhang Erya's parent, and the old lady didn't care about it anymore, and the child from Sizhu followed home, but she didn't expect to get married so early.

Zhang Erya chattered for a long time, and there was really nothing left of the bride price.

No wonder it's only been a few months since the autumn breeze came again.

The old lady was also speechless.

Originally, there were some things that shouldn't have been said to juniors, but I still couldn't hold back.

"Your grandfather's life, ruined by marrying your grandmother!" Not to mention that the family is getting poorer and poorer, even the children are all following their mothers, greedy and cheap, unreasonable, anyway, she looks down on them everywhere.

It's not easy to answer, she didn't expect Zhang Erya to answer, looked at her patched thin cotton jacket, and called her little daughter: "Find out your old cotton jacket for her." ”

Cheng Chunxiao was reluctant, she only had two padded jackets, one thin and one thick, but two of the smocks changed outside.

"Mother, I'm wearing the thick one, what's the difference between the thin one and hers!"

The old lady glared at her: "Who is this petty energy?" You find out and put her in it first, don't you have cotton and cotton cloth, make her a thick one, and then make a cover, and see how dirty her cotton jacket is. ”

Cheng Chunxiao said in the same tone as the seventh day of the first month: "That's too cheap for her, keep her at home, how many things do you have to build this year!" ”

The old lady looked at her and straightened her luck, "You can pick it!" Pick like your dad! ”

There are reasons to keep people, which is more important than spending some money and people's morality?

Since Xue Yunniang came, Yunhui's two boys have lived in the East House, and they have not changed, and now Zhang Erya is here, and he also lives in the big house with a few girls.

Cheng Chuqi was afraid of being crowded outside, so he moved into the inner room to live with the Yang family.

Cheng Chunxiao was not happy to be next to her, so he took the first step to move the luggage to Yun Niang's side.

Then it can only be the first year next to her.

Zhang Erya didn't seem to see that she was disliked, and saw that the first year of junior high school gave her a futon, and hurriedly went over to help, "Sister, I'll come!" ”

On the first day of junior high school, let her lay it by herself, and tell her which basin to use for washing her face and which one to use for washing her feet......

"You've been at home for a long time, and you've become familiar with it."

Maybe the first year of junior high school is the only one who is friendly to her, Zhang Erya follows her everywhere, learning from her, she leaned over with envy when she embroidered, and couldn't help but touch it when she saw that this dress was so beautiful, "Sister, this is really good-looking~"
