Chapter 41: The brothers quarrel

Fugui's father, grandparents, and uncles are all gathered in the kitchen to make dumplings at this time.

Shen Su'e and her second son are the most beautiful, and according to her husband's words, they can take them to the market to set up a stall.

"Wuchaozi, what are you doing here? The stuffing is leaking out," Jiang Qingshan said in disgust, "You better go out, don't waste food." ”

"Oh, it's the first time I've made dumplings," Wu Chaozi said as he remedied, "Besides, what's a waste?" I wrapped it myself and ate it myself. ”

His mother smiled: "Can't blame him, when was the last time you ate dumplings?" I can't even remember, seven or eight years, right? How old was Superson then? I haven't learned, and it's normal to not know how to pack. ”

With his mother helping him speak, Wu Chaozi straightened his waist, "That's it, if I were as big as my second brother, the dumplings I made would definitely be better than him!" ”

Erhuazi smiled, didn't answer, and continued to wrap the dumplings in his hand.

His fifth brother saw that he ignored him, and deliberately said: "Hey, second brother, you are quite good at eating and drinking, I know that our family has eaten a lot this year, so I came to help, and my mother will cook the dumplings later, and I can't give you two." ”

After speaking, he bumped his fourth brother with his elbow, "Fourth brother, tell me, is the second brother very thick-skinned?" Why didn't I see it before? ”

"Chaozi, you have a big opinion of me?"

Erhuazi picked up the meat filling with chopsticks and put it in the dumpling skin, "Daddy didn't say anything, you chattered a lot, aren't you annoying?" ”

"Daddy is embarrassed to kick you out, after all, the New Year's Eve is too ugly to make people laugh, who knows that you are so shameless? Obviously separated and brought his son over to eat dumplings, why don't you just bring your daughter-in-law with you, after all, the second sister-in-law's face is as thick as yours. Wu Chaozi scoffed.

In the embarrassing atmosphere, San Leizi pushed him, "Okay, just say a word or two, why do you keep saying it?" The second brother is also here to help. ”

"Our family has something to eat, he came to help, if our family drinks the northwest wind, do you think he will come to help? I'm afraid he can run faster than a rabbit. ”

After Wu Chaozi sneered, he thought that his second brother would lose his temper and throw his hands away, but he didn't expect him to nod, "Indeed, Chaozi is right, if there is nothing to eat at home, I may leave with wealth after the New Year." ”

"Listen! Father, mother, did you hear what he said? ”

Erhuazi put the wrapped dumplings on a dustpan covered with a layer of dry flour, "Chaozi, seriously, I also want to follow behind my father and mother like you, what my father and mother eat, what I eat, but now that I am a father, I can't help it......

If the whole family is just me, I can eat wild vegetables and rice bran, but my daughter-in-law and children want to eat something good, I have to find a way, right? ”

Shen Su'e, who had been silent before, spoke: "You are now the head of the family, and it is right to think about your daughter-in-law and children, but since the family has been separated, it is impossible for me to take out my own food to support you." ”

"Of course!" Erhuazi's tone was sincere, "I'm here to ask my mother if you're willing to sell me some fatty meat, just sell one or two taels, as long as you let Fugui and his mother taste some oil hydrolysis to satisfy their hunger." ”

Shen Su'e pointed to the enamel basin, "My fat meat is all fried into lard, if you really want to buy it, according to the price of the supply and marketing cooperative, one catty and two yuan two, you take a soup spoon and put two spoonfuls back, even if it is one or two, you give me two cents and two." ”

"Mother, you're too cheap for him!" Wu Chaozi said angrily, "The lard of the supply and marketing cooperatives is bought with lard tickets, which is more expensive than ordinary oil tickets!" No, I don't agree, unless he gets half a pound of fuel in exchange. ”

Erhuazi subconsciously asked: "Where can I get you a fuel ticket?" ”

At the end of each year, the production team gives invoices to each company, including cloth tickets, line tickets, cigarette tickets, match tickets, sugar tickets, white sugar tickets, brown sugar tickets, wine tickets and kerosene tickets.

As for meat tickets, egg tickets, fish tickets, vegetable tickets, soy product tickets, fruit tickets and oil tickets, these are all exclusive tickets for urban people, and rural people do not have the same, and they want to eat by themselves or raise them by themselves, in short, they are self-sufficient.

Last year, Captain Li encouraged each family to raise a pig and two chickens, and it was best to plant some sesame seeds in the yard and squeeze sesame oil to eat.

The Jiang family bought piglets and chickens, because there was not enough food to feed, the pigs were not fattened, and they were sold to the production team, and the chickens froze to death just in winter.

Sesame seeds cannot be grown in Baihe Village, the seedling emergence rate is low, and it is not easy to protect the seedlings, and no family in the village has successfully planted sesame seeds.

I haven't eaten oil and water for a long time, whether adults or children, I often go to the thatched house for several days, and I really want to eat some oil to moisten my intestines.

Seeing that the fifth brother still wanted to quarrel with his second brother again, Jiang Qingshan said: "Okay, don't say it, Chaozi, since your mother agreed to sell your second brother two spoons of oil, it means that it is also a pain for wealth, and it is not for nothing, and there are a lot of two cents." ”

When they were talking, Fugui, who couldn't find Lingbao, ran into the kitchen, "Daddy, Daddy, Auntie is gone, the pen is finished, it's gone, Auntie ......"

"What?" The crowd looked back at Fugui.

"Who's missing?" Shen Su'e panicked, "Lingbao? ”

The little boy nodded, "Yes, my aunt gave me a pen, I finished the time, I wanted to find her and ask for another piece, she was gone, I looked for it, but I didn't find it." ”

Saying this, he ran to his father, hugged his legs and said, "Daddy, go and find my aunt, I still want to play with my aunt, playing with my aunt is delicious, and the pen is so good!" Better times than meat. ”

"What are you doing?" Erhuazi was stunned when he heard this, "No, Fugui, aren't you playing with your little aunt in the room?" How could she not see? ”

"It's just gone, I've called 'aunt' for a long time, and no one answered me."

Shen Su'e had already walked out of the kitchen quickly at this time, and ran into the house while shouting "Lingbao", "Lingbao? Lingbao, where are you? ”

Entering the Lingbao room, she saw the quilt bulging, hurriedly walked over and lifted the corner of the quilt, and saw her daughter lying on the bed, with her eyes closed, sleeping deeply, and her heart was slightly lowered.

She got up at four o'clock this morning and went to the kitchen to work, Lingbao has been following her, chatting and talking with her, and it is normal to be sleepy.

As soon as Shen Su'e thought of this, her sons ran into the house.

Wu Chaozi almost blurted out and asked: "Mother, Lingbao ...... she"

"Shh Shen Su'e hurriedly turned her head and gestured, "Lingbao got up too early in the morning, she fell asleep at this time, don't make any noise about her, let her sleep well." ”

After lowering her voice, she covered Lingbao with a quilt, got up slowly, and was about to leave the room, when she found that there was a large vat next to the wooden table in the corner.

The others also found the pickle jar at this time, and Erhuazi asked his third brother in a whisper, "Sanleizi, where did that jar come from?" We didn't have that big tank before, right? You went to town and bought it? ”
