The old lady said that she didn't want to break the bank, but she really couldn't just stew cabbage, Aunt Cheng's family also hired a mother-in-law who cooked and did chores, she took a string of copper coins and asked her to buy some meat and prepare four dishes.

Pork stewed vermicelli, pork stewed cabbage and frozen tofu, pork slices fried salted cucumbers, and one turned out to be fish-flavored shredded pork.

Aunt Cheng pointed to the fish-flavored shredded pork and said to the two: "Mother, you try it, this is a new dish from the restaurant in our county, it tastes good, such a plate sells for fifty yuan, I specially asked Da Lang to buy it." ”

The old lady looked at the seventh or fifty of the first month? Sell twenty plates and sell the money to buy the recipe.

Chu Qi secretly rolled her eyes, it seems that this recipe can't be sold so cheaply in the future, she thought about pinching a chopstick vermicelli.

This is sweet potato powder, which is quite expensive, like their Cheng family, they don't buy it much.

She has been in ancient times for half a year, and her father has eaten a few times after the middle school.

Cheng Liuda ate meat in one gulp, but on the seventh day of the first month, he ate vermicelli and ate it well, so Aunt Cheng said to her: "On the seventh day of the first month, eat meat, how can this vermicelli have delicious meat." ”

Chu Qi knew that Aunt Cheng knew that they couldn't eat meat at home, so they made meat dishes on purpose.

But since she can make a lot of money from embroidery and stalls, the old lady really hasn't lost them, and Xue Yunniang specially asked her at that time: "Shouxiao can't eat meat, right?" ”

How can they have these exquisiteness in the countryside. The big family can't go out if they don't go out, and their family will starve to death if they don't go out.

When the old lady heard about it, she wanted to stop talking, but then she couldn't help but whisper to a few little girls: "It stands to reason that no, when our old lady didn't have it, we didn't eat meat for a month......

When her father-in-law died, it was only three days.

When it came to Old Man Cheng and Cheng Juren, it was also three days.

The old lady looked at her eldest daughter more and more kindly, she sandwiched a piece of meat for her granddaughter, "You also eat, although the family is not as good as before, but this month is also every other month to make meat, and you can't stand the cold if you don't eat meat in winter, your younger brothers, the family still points to them!" ”

Aunt Cheng saw that they were really not short of meat, so she was really happy for her mother's family, she looked at Cheng Liu, and said with some regret: "Mother, the family affairs of the sixth child are so delayed, I'm afraid it's hard to say." and Chunxiao, which should have been set for her at the beginning. ”

I thought that Cheng Dazhong could say something better, but I didn't expect the Cheng family to completely become a farmer, and it would not be so easy to say something better.

The old lady was not in a hurry, but Chunxiao was now able to make money by herself, and she was not anxious to get married, so she slowly let go, and the seventh day of the first month was right: "Although our family has no father, we can work hard, and the family will have confidence when we have money, and we may not weaken those merchants." What's more, my brother is still studying, and I don't dare to say anything else, Xiucai must be no problem. ”

Think about it too.

Mrs. Cheng no longer has the luxury of "honoring the ancestors", as long as the family is safe and sound, she will recite "Amitabha" if she does not lack clothes and wear.

"It's okay for a boy to get married later. Chunxiao is not very old, and it is not too late to be filial piety in the future, you can help pay attention to it on weekdays, and if there is a suitable one, it will be done. ”

Aunt Cheng nodded in response, but she knew in her heart that it was not easy to find.

If the conditions are not good, she still feels sorry for her little sister suffering, and if the conditions are good, people will not look for her.

After all, the Cheng family is not what it used to be.

The old lady asked, "The second child moved into the city, have you ever been there?" When I went there just now, how did I feel that all the furniture and bedding in his house had been replaced with new ones? The furniture was left behind, and the bedding was new, and it really looked like a city man......"

Aunt Cheng's face is not good-looking.

"I've been there twice, once when they first moved in, and once a few days ago."

Looking at the old lady's face, the words she wanted to say before rolled on the tip of her tongue and swallowed back,

"Mother, what do you care about them, anyway, they have also split up, they have the silver to love, how to be seer!"

Uncle Cheng interjected: "Where did he get so much money for the second child?" ”

The old lady was silent, Aunt Cheng glared at him, and sandwiched another piece of meat for the old lady: "Didn't you say that the house was for a friend?" I guess I don't want the futon, so let him use it! ”

That's impossible, but Uncle Cheng received the wind and didn't say anything more.

The old lady sighed, "You're right, if you divide the family, he will be as good as he likes!" ”

After eating, when the old lady was talking to Gu and her granddaughter, Aunt Cheng and Chu Qi whispered in the front shop: "What did your grandmother find?" ”

Chu Qi asked her rhetorically, "What did the aunt find?" ”

Cheng Liu leaned over, "Eldest sister, is my second brother like that?" ”

"What's that, what's not that?" Aunt Cheng glanced at the two of them, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Didn't your grandmother find that there were several more people in your second uncle's house just now?" ”

"Said it was a tenant. But we didn't look at the faces, and we didn't know how many people they were. ”

Aunt Cheng pouted, "Fart! ”

Cheng Chuqi was curious, glanced at the sixth uncle, and said with some surprise: "It won't be the outer room that my second uncle raised outside, right?" ”

Aunt Cheng: "You know? ”

The two of them nodded in unison, "I've seen it!" Cheng Liu continued: "The fourth brother and they went before setting up the stall, the second brother and the second sister-in-law were fighting, and they were clamoring to divorce their wives, and the second sister-in-law said that he was fascinated by the fox spirit. ”

Aunt Cheng pointed to the backyard: "Then our mother?" ”

"I don't know. I didn't tell her, for fear that she would be angry. ”

Aunt Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said a little angrily: "I didn't expect your second brother to be such a person!" Forget it, don't talk about it, you can hide it, your second brother told people that he was a tenant, but who doesn't know that he has been raising that woman for several years? I also gave birth to a son, and this time I have another one in my belly. It's time for the big one to go to school, so she wants to enter your second brother's door! I'm afraid it's because of this that your second brother will get a share of the family! ”

After she found out, she ran to scold the second brother for a bloody head, and the second child drooped his face and said to her: "If you don't look down on me, our sister and brother don't get along......

At that time, she was so angry that her chest hurt, and she took medicine for several days.

Later, she also wanted to open it, she was a married girl, and it was a separate family, and if she didn't come and go, she wouldn't come and go!

The old lady said that the conversation didn't take a lunch break and came out, "It's almost, your aunt estimates that it's time to get up for a nap, you can send me over!" ”

A few people were about to leave, the door of the shop opened, and a few people came in to buy something, and a few people avoided aside, and the last one came in and saw them stunned, and their eyes were red, "Mother~"

The old lady frowned and quickly relaxed, "Xia~ Are you here to buy something from your eldest sister's shop?" ”

Aunt Cheng, who was receiving guests, shouted when she saw it: "Mother, I won't send you." Xiaoxia, you wait for me first. ”

Cheng Sangu nodded with a red face, then looked at her mother and asked, "When did my mother come?" I came to find the eldest sister for something. ”

When she said "something", she couldn't lower her head to the ground, and the old lady knew it, and after thinking about it, she pulled her aside, "Am I borrowing money from your eldest sister?" ”

Cheng Sangu's face was so red that it seemed like it was dripping blood, and her voice was so small that she couldn't hear it if she didn't listen carefully, "Xianggong hasn't been home for more than ten days, and the family has been out of food for two days......"
