Mrs. Xu is very capable of giving birth, and it is said that she gave birth to more than ten children in total, but in the end, only four sons and one daughter survived.

Such a situation is not uncommon in this era, and most of the people in the countryside are like this, one after another, but very few can feed them all.

Even if Mrs. Xu's children only survived five in the end, the number of children and grandchildren is very spectacular, more than 20.

Of course, not everyone stayed to keep watch, and someone had to go to the kitchen to help.

Relatives come from afar, so it is natural to make some meals to entertain, also known as feasts.

At this time, the women in the family were going to work, but Xu Shuxin didn't need to, Cui Lanhua asked their sisters to stay.

Xu Shuxin also saw the resentful eyes of Xu Dani looking at their sisters when she left.

Because Aunt Xu dragged her to work.

Xu Dani was forcibly married off by Uncle Xu after the autumn harvest, and the marriage was not far away, that is, the Xialin Brigade separated from the Peace Brigade by a brigade.

Xu Dani's man also came today, Xu Shuxin felt that the man was honest and diligent, if Xu Dani didn't be a demon and lived with him well, life should be not bad.

I just don't know if Xu Dani, who likes Qin Zhiqing in her heart, is willing to live honestly with a country man?

Xu Shuxin thought about Xu Dani's married life in her heart, looked at Mrs. Xu's descendants, and then saw a strange figure.

Xu Shuxin had only seen Xu Qingmu's brothers, and it was the first time she had seen Mrs. Xu's daughter, that is, their sisters' aunt.

She looked thin in a patched gray padded jacket, and she was thin and thin, with no expression on her face.

She does what others do.

Beside her, there was also a teenage girl with her head bowed, presumably her aunt's daughter.

It's just that what makes Xu Shuxin puzzled is that she didn't see her aunt last time when Mrs. Xu was about to die, but this time she actually came.

Just as Xu Shuxin was staring at her aunt and daughter, Uncle Xu's voice reached her ears.

"Third brother, the food at home is not enough, you go home and get some, take a sack, so that your relatives can be full, by the way, you can also catch two chickens at home, you have a lot of family, and you can raise more chickens."

Xu Qingmu didn't refuse, "Okay, then I'll get it." ”

"I'll go too." Xu Shuxin said.

Xu Shuyan didn't say anything, but grabbed Xu Shuxin's hand.

Since Xu Shuxin came back, Xu Shuyan has been even more clinging to her, and if it is necessary, she has never let go of her hand.

Xu Qingmu did not refuse, and Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan followed.

Xu Shuxin thought that her father would go home directly to get chickens and food, but who knew that he went straight to the kitchen after leaving the hall.

Uncle Xu saw his movements and shouted behind her back, "Eh, third brother, what are you doing in the kitchen?" If you're in a hurry to cook, go back and get something. ”

Xu Qingmu ignored her at all.

He walked to the kitchen, walked to Cui Lanhua's side, and repeated what Uncle Xu said to Cui Lanhua.

Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan didn't enter the kitchen, but leaned on the door and stretched their heads to look inside.

In the small kitchen, there were several people, Cui Lanhua, Xu Dani, Xu Erniang, Xu Erniang's daughter-in-law, Xu Erbou's daughter-in-law, and two Xu family aunts.

There are washing vegetables and cutting vegetables, as well as chopping chicken, which are jingling and a little noisy.

In such an environment, Xu Shuxin still heard Cui Lanhua's surprised voice, "What? Didn't you say that our family only produces food? ”

After Cui Lanhua finished speaking, she saw Uncle Xu who was about to enter the kitchen, and asked her, "Sister-in-law, we said okay, you and your second sister-in-law's family will produce chicken and vegetables, and our family will produce food, why do you let my man catch chicken?" ”

There are two of them.

There is only one person in the big room and the second room, except for the chicken, which is the green vegetables.

As for the fourth room, because Xu Qingsong and his son were assigned to the northwest, Ma Dahua went back to his parents' house to marry again, and now only fourteen-year-old Xu Guanghua is left in the fourth room, so naturally he doesn't need to do anything.

He can't even feed himself, where is there something to come up with?

So the three of them discussed what each family would come up with.

It's just that Cui Lanhua and Xu Qingmu didn't expect that Uncle Xu rushed to inform people, and as a result, she added so many things.

Not only did he double the grain, but he also asked him to catch two chickens.

That's too much!

Whether it was Xu Qingmu or Cui Lanhua, they were not happy.

Even Xu Shuxin couldn't help but despise Uncle Xu.

I want to take advantage of such a cheapness, I am really greedy!

Except for Cui Lanhua staring at Uncle Xu for an answer, the people in the kitchen also looked at Uncle Xu in surprise.

At that time, when the three families discussed, the men in the big room and the second room were also there, and they all agreed to this method, and Cui Lanhua and the six daughters agreed on behalf of the third room.

At that time, Cui Lanhua said that she wanted to go home to get food, and Aunt Xu generously said that she was not in a hurry, and she could use their big house first when she brought it after the funeral.

At that time, Cui Lanhua was worried about Xu Qingmu's father and daughter, and she didn't have the heart to take care of these at all, and she didn't expect Uncle Xu to do this, so she didn't go home to get food.

Who knew that Xu Qingmu had just come back, so she hurriedly found Xu Qingmu and urged him to go home and get something.

was questioned by Cui Lanhua and looked at by so many people, Uncle Xu felt embarrassed, and the look on her face was not good-looking, but she still defended herself, "I'm not thinking that two chickens don't have much meat, and one piece is not enough for one person, you have a lot of family members, and you can raise more chickens, so take two more and bring them over, and the banquet will look better in this way." ”

"Heh, what about the grain? You asked my man to take half more with this mouth, even if they all eat dry rice, it won't be so much. Cui Lanhua continued to ask.

The coffin will be buried early tomorrow morning, and today, there are only three tables at most for relatives and people who come to help, and with the addition of their children and grandchildren, there are only five tables in total, and there is not so much food at all.

When the time comes, the remaining grain will go into whose rice bag, needless to say, will be clear.

"Sister-in-law, you really have a good calculation." Cui Lanhua said.

Aunt Xu felt that Cui Lanhua didn't give her face as a sister-in-law, and the little weakness on her face was quickly put away, but she said confidently: "Your family is having a good life, what's wrong with having more things?" And last night, when my mother was angry, the third child was not there, don't you feel sorry for your mother? In this case, what's wrong with taking more things to make my mother's face? In this way, people also think that the third child is filial, and I am doing this for your good! ”

Xu Qingmu: "Sister-in-law, you still have to keep your kindness, I don't need it, of course, if you want to make a face for your mother, then you can give something more, after all, your mother's savings have gone into your and your second sister-in-law's house, and you should have more, if you and your second sister-in-law can't be the master, I can go and talk to the eldest brother and the second brother." ”
