Chapter 58: One Shift
Yesterday's torrential rain caused the river to overflow, flooding the fields and roads to the county seat, and the thatch on the roofs of many houses in the village was swept away by the wind, and almost every household had people lying on the roof to repair the loopholes.
Zhao Miaomiao killed the carp that Xianggong bought back yesterday, stir-fried ginger, onions, garlic, chili star anise, added water, soy sauce and salt to adjust the soup base, and put the carp fried in hot oil into the pot.
The air was filled with the smell of fish, and the people around the Chen family swallowed their saliva, hoping that the river in their fields would recede and there would be trapped fish.
In the vegetable garden, Liu Su's nose sniffed, the land of the Liu family is not close to the river, and there is no fish to pick up.
She looked down at her two sons, who were obviously drooling from greed, but they were very sensible and endured not to make trouble, and obediently helped pick cabbage.
Liu Su touched the money bag and stopped, the silver had to be kept to pay taxes and couldn't move, his eyes rolled, he had to think of ideas, and he couldn't lose anything to the child!
Thinking so, she glanced at the people passing by from time to time, and saw Chen Shoujia carrying a bamboo basket with a smile on his face.
Liu Sushi raised his eyebrows, walked out of the vegetable garden, and greeted with a smile, "Brother Chen, this is going to the field and picking up fish and coming back?" Look at your happy face, you must have picked up a lot. ”
Chen Shoujia said in an indifferent tone, "What's the matter with Sister-in-law Liu?" It's okay, I'm going home. ”
Liu Su's eyebrows rolled, and he stroked the hair on his ears, "Brother Chen, my two boys smell the fragrance of your fish and want to eat it, I have to ask you for a few small fish." ”
As she spoke, she moved to touch the bamboo basket.
Chen Shoujia moved his hand, and the bamboo basket dodged her hand, "If you want to eat fish, you can just give money." ”
Liu Su's hand froze, feeling that his eyebrows were thrown to the dog, and he secretly scolded him for being stingy and stingy, if she was willing to spend this money, she would hook up with people with flattering eyes.
Chen Shoujia saw that she didn't speak, picked up the bamboo basket and left quickly, he didn't give money and wanted fish, when Lao Tzu was the big injustice of Wu Youjia!
Smelling the fragrance of fish for more than half an hour, Li Fat Ya was very greedy, and when she saw Chen Shoujia coming back, the fat body came to him in an instant, took the bamboo basket, and the corners of her mouth raised a smile.
In the evening, the children of the family do not go out to play, and sit at the dinner table early, waiting for the meal to begin.
Li Fatya swallowed saliva while stewing fish, her eyes turned back and forth, and while people were not paying attention, she scooped up a little soup with a wooden ladle, blew it a few times with her mouth, and quickly paid for it one bite after another.
Mrs. Chen smelled the smell and came over, saw this scene, her face darkened, and she roared, "Fat Li! ”
Li Fatya was so frightened that she choked on the soup, kept coughing, and her brain was spinning fast at this time, "Mother, I'll taste if it tastes, really!" Didn't steal it. ”
The corners of Mrs. Chen's mouth twitched, and she said in disgust, "Remember to wash the ladle and make the meal for the old lady quickly!" ”
Li Fatya responded with a "sigh", washed the ladle neatly, and grinned proudly, why am I so smart with my brain, and I fooled my mother-in-law.
Mrs. Chen: "......"
When the meal was ready, Li Fatya brought the fish to the table, and there were a lot of side dishes in it, including cabbage and tofu.
The whole family quickly sat down, and after Mrs. Chen distributed the staple food, the old man Chen started the chopsticks.
Everyone's chopsticks danced rapidly, and Chen Shouxing grabbed two pieces of fish and meat from his daughter-in-law's son's bowl three times in a row, and then served a few chopsticks with side dishes before putting vegetables in his own bowl.
Zhao Miaomiao picked out the thorns in the fish and fed the little fat dun with a bowl.
Little Fat Dun likes to eat tofu, and he enjoys it very much.
Rui Rui is not very good at using chopsticks, Chen Shouxing lowered his head and picked fish bones for him.
Chen Shouxing's small family is not hungry for meat, eats slowly, and everyone else is immersed in hard eating, and has not touched meat for more than half a month, and the fish is really delicious.
Soon there were only empty bowls and pans left on the table, not even the juice left, and everyone put down their chopsticks.
Li Fatya's mother and son touched their stomachs and sat like soft mud.
He ate and drank well, and suddenly said with a smile, "Mother, the widower Liu repaired the house for Widow Wu, fell down from the ladder, and broke his leg!" ”
Everyone in the Chen family looked at it.
Ho continued.
The widower broke his leg, Widow Wu kept crying and didn't call people to ask for a doctor, and the widower Liu's idiot was still distressed and kept coaxing people.
The people who watched the excitement didn't know for a moment whether to send him to the town to give the doctor.
Later, I don't know why, Liu Su came, crying and asking Widow Wu to lose money, Widow Wu cried that she had no money, and Liu Widower also helped her, saying that she didn't need to lose money.
Zhao Miaomiao shook her head and thought, Liu Su's family is not so angry that he wants to die, the injured person, Liu Widower, bites to death and doesn't want the Wu family to lose money, no matter how much trouble the Liu Su family makes, he can't get compensation!
Liu family, Liu Su cried angrily, she originally wanted to ask Wu Youjia for money to buy fish, but she saw her father-in-law repairing the old slut's house and broke her leg.
It's so stupid that no one wants to lose money, and she scolds her for not being able to control it, fuck it! She can't care about it, she doesn't need money to see the doctor!
Liu Su looked at the widower lying on the bed, and his teeth itched with anger, thinking of the widower looking at the doctor, and took out a tael of silver.
She shook her palm, how much silver did this fool hide, why did she rummage through it and find it.
The old thing that her grandson didn't care about, if it weren't for the silver he hid, she really wanted to leave this idiot alone, and wondered why he had so much silver.
Liu Su thought as he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets.
The widower opened his eyes suddenly, saw that she was rummaging through his things again, and scolded angrily, "Su's stop! You slut stealing Lao Tzu's silver again! ”
Liu Su sneered and ignored him, and then rummaged.
Liu Widower was lying on the bed, his right leg did not dare to move, for fear that his leg would be crooked and lame, so he had to stare at Liu Su and call for someone to catch the thief.
Hearing the shouts of the widower, none of the people nearby came out.
Liu Su smiled very brightly and scolded the fool.
The widower screamed hoarsely, and when he saw that no one was coming, he pointed at her hand and trembled with anger.
Liu Sushi rummaged through her room again, only found a few copper coins, slapped the table angrily, and scolded, "Old thing, where did you hide the silver!" ”
The widower laughed proudly, "The slut doesn't want to find Lao Tzu's silver!" ”
Chen
Zhao Miaomiao's ears moved, and she asked in a low voice, "Xianggong, the widower shouted to catch the thief, why didn't anyone come out!" ”
Chen Shouxing said to her.
The two seedlings of the Liu family are both the sons of the Su family, and the widower Liu's reputation outside is that he eats inside and out, regardless of his grandson's life or death, and the silver is not in his hands.
And although the Su family is a little unclear with Wu Youjia, she did not remarry, and she worked hard to take good care of the two grandsons of the Liu family, and she did not live with the Liu family.
Everyone naturally favors the Su family, thinking that the Su family is more reliable than the Liu widower, and the silver can only be used on the two children of the Liu family in the hands of the Su family, of course, everyone will earn one eye and close one eye, regardless of the Liu family's bad things.
After listening to this, Zhao Miaomiao nodded yes.
What is filial piety or not, everyone pays more attention to whether it will cause trouble, if the Liu family's silver is taken by the Liu widower, will the Su family mother and son not be able to live.
