Chapter 4 Leeks and bacon

Mrs. Liu is old, she has to squint when she looks at people, Su Yu is not afraid of being looked at by her, she takes the egg to the sun, and quickly picks twenty eggs, the old man is old, and she doesn't bargain with her.

"Grandma Liu, I've picked it out, I'll ask for these twenty, and I'll give you the money when my mother comes back in the evening, and I'll take the eggs first."

"Okay, take it."

After leaving from Grandma Liu's house, Su Yu quickly returned home with fifty eggs, looked around the house, but did not find the right thing, so he had to take a wooden basin that was not used much at home, went to the firewood shed to get some straw and kneaded it vigorously, and then spread the straw carefully on the bottom of the wooden basin after the straw became soft, and then put the eggs he bought today into his room, pulled the corner of the cotton wool on the mattress and covered it on the wooden basin, and covered the entire wooden basin tightly.

She also had no choice, she was going to find a quilt or cotton wool that she didn't use, but one quilt per person in the family was just right, and there was no more, so she could only settle for it, anyway, she could hatch chicks when the time came.

After doing all this, Su Yu went out of the house, picked up the broom on the side and began to sweep the yard, and after sweeping the yard and sweeping the house, because the original owner did not work often before, and soon Su Yu sweated on her forehead, but everyone in the family was paying, so she felt embarrassed to be idle. She hasn't thought of any other way to make money now, and it will take half a year to see the effect of raising chickens, so she can only do more at home, so that her mother can do less when she comes back.

After cleaning up for most of the day, seeing that it was not early, she began to prepare the evening meal again, and Su Sheng came back when she was preparing.

As soon as Su Sheng entered the yard, he found that the changes in the house had become a lot cleaner and tidy, in fact, the house had always been cleaned up by his mother, but he was busy turning over the soil during this time, and the family had no time to clean up, but Su Sheng didn't think that today's yard was cleaned up by his mother, and he heard last night that the ground had to be turned over for three or five days, how could his mother come back. That is to say, this yard was cleaned up by the little sister, Su Sheng looked up at the sky, the sun didn't come out in the west, he always felt that the little sister in the past few days was different from before, she was much more diligent, and she was more able to speak than before.

"Big brother, you're back."

"Hmm."

Su Sheng answered and entered the stove house, last night his mother told him not to let his little sister cook, he was not happy at that time, but since it was his mother who said that he would do it.

As for the thoughts in Lian's heart, he didn't tell his son at that time, so Su Sheng thought that this was his mother's partiality, and he would never have thought that his mother thought that his little sister put too much oil.

When Su Sheng entered the stove house, he saw that Su Yu had already started to fry vegetables on the stove, and when he smelled the taste, Su Sheng's face changed, and he came to the stove in three or two steps, looked into the pot, and saw that there was less bacon hanging on the eaves, and his face immediately turned cold.

"Where did you get this meat from?"

"Now, I cut a small piece of bacon hanging on the beam, it's just a small piece, and our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time."

"Who allowed you to cut that piece of meat?"

Su Sheng's voice was a little loud, and his voice was a little cold.

Su Yu worked hard to cook, and he was not happy to be scolded. Isn't it just a piece of bacon, the bacon weighs two or three catties, so she shallowly cut a small piece two fingers wide.

"This piece of meat is kept for the New Year to be brought to grandma's house, how can you take it and eat it!"

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, it seemed that there was such a thing, but she forgot about it, and now Su Sheng also remembered it, during the New Year, my father cut five catties of meat and came back, and ate more than a catty at home, and the rest was made into bacon and smoked and hung on the eaves, and my father said at that time that this meat would be brought to my grandmother's house during the New Year.

"Brother, I forgot."

Su Yu lowered her head slightly at this time like a child who had done something wrong, but she didn't forget to turn over the bacon in the pot with one hand. The scolding has been scolded, and if you don't eat this meat in your mouth, it's not worth it.

"Eat, eat, eat, you know what to eat all day long, what else do you know besides eating! Don't think I don't know that you follow Wang Da and their butts all day long, isn't it just for stuttering, our family's face has been lost by you! ”

Su Yu was stunned again, recalling the past, as if what Su Sheng said was right, when Su Yu followed Wang Da and them at the beginning, it was for stuttering. Wang Da has no father or mother, and there is a grandmother above, so you can imagine how difficult the life in the family is, but he has been used to going up and down the mountain and down the river since he was a child, and he can always find something to eat, and the children in the village are not longer and stronger than him.

Su Sheng was really angry, he thought that his sister had learned well, but he didn't expect that he was wrong, where is this getting better, this is more unbearable than before, he used to be hungry and wouldn't take the food at home, but now it's good, and he started the idea of bacon at home. He can now imagine that during the Chinese New Year, their family took this piece of meat to his grandmother's house, and the sneering face of the eldest aunt made him even more angry when he thought about it, so he simply slammed the door and walked out of the stove house, without looking at Su Yu.

Hearing the sound of slamming the door, Su Yu was worried that the door of the stove house was going to fall, and when he saw that people were leaving, he hurriedly poured the leeks on the board into the pot, and if he didn't fry the bacon, it would turn into oil residue.

Stir-fry a few times, and a plate of bacon and fried leeks will come out of the pot. After washing the pot and boiling hot water, Su Yu sat at the door of the stove house, holding his chin with both hands and couldn't help sighing, it was a sin to be poor and even eat some meat these days.

In fact, Su Lao and his wife are both diligent, and Su Sheng is a partner in the town, and only Su Yu is the only one in the family who does not do business. But the three members of the family are working, and it is said that this day will not be like this. It's only strange that three years ago, when Su Laoer's family was separated from the Su family's old house, they didn't say anything, but they got 25 taels of foreign debts, and the 5 taels of the house were also borrowed, and they haven't paid it off for three years now, and they have to give alimony to the parents of the old house every year.

Su Lao and his wife both breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they had suffered more over the years, and when the debt was repaid, there would be hope for this day. But she doesn't think so, the old mansion family is insatiable people, and when the money is paid off, maybe there will be other names to get money from their family, thinking of this, Su Yu reminded herself in her heart, she has to beware of the people over there in the old mansion.

After a while, Su Lao and his wife came back with hoes, Su Yu neatly washed the two of them, and then the family sat in the stove house to eat.

Tonight, like yesterday, I ate steamed buns, and the dish was fried bacon with leeks fried with suyu fish, and cabbage boiled in boiling water, so I made up two dishes.

The husband and wife saw the fried bacon with leeks on the table, neither of them spoke, and they ate steamed buns silently.

Su Lao Er sandwiched the dish into the Su fish bowl again.

"Girl, my father doesn't like to eat leeks, you can eat it, look at my daughter who has starved and lost weight during this time."
