Chapter 33 The Priceless Treasure of Our Old Song Family
"Can't we give us more silver?" The little boy was a little lost, and looked at Fu Ya with a pair of big eyes.
Mrs. Wu snorted and said, "Fuya is the priceless treasure of our old Song family, and we won't change it for a mountain of gold and silver!" ”
Song Ziran listened, grinned with four rice teeth, and kissed her the face. Mrs. Wu suddenly smiled, and the unhappiness in her heart disappeared in an instant.
At this time, the noble lady was already convinced of the identity of their ancestor and grandson, and apologized with a smile: "I'm sorry, I just misunderstood you!" ”
A mother-in-law who doesn't look good, a pink and cute milk baby, doesn't look like grandparents and grandchildren. No wonder they are suspicious!
Mrs. Wu waved her hand and said, "Forget it, forget it!" ”
What if you don't count it, the other party wears gold and silver, and is dressed in silk and satin, and he is from an extraordinary background at a glance. They are just ordinary people, can they still beat people? It's good not to be beaten! What are you waiting for if you don't get down the ladder!
Song Ziran pointed to the yam cake and signaled to buy this. Recently, the milk spleen and stomach are not balanced, and the gourd has the effect of regulating the spleen and stomach, removing dampness, and tonifying the kidney, so it is just right to eat this.
When Mrs. Wu asked, this yam and potato cake cost 500 wen per catty, and she grinned in distress. scolded in his heart for grabbing money, but he still weighed a pound. The baby granddaughter asked her for something for the first time, no matter how expensive it was, she had to buy it!
After hesitating for a moment, Mrs. Wu bought two catties of the cheapest rice cakes for two catties, spending two hundred yuan.
The lady next to her, seeing this old farmer's wife, twitched her distressed face, but still bought a lot of snacks for the child, and then completely let go of the doubts in her heart.
Mrs. Wu took her granddaughter out of the pastry shop, threw the purchased snacks to her son, and said unwillingly: "This little thing cost me seven dollars of silver." It's faster than grabbing money, black! It's so dark! ”
The noblewoman who came out with her stood still in front of the carriage and laughed out loud when she heard the words. The little boy she was holding in her hand kept waving to Fu Ya, regretting that she couldn't bring her "good-looking sister" home.
Mrs. Wu snorted lightly, got into the ox cart, and urged Song Laosi to hurry up.
The grain in the county is transferred from other places, and it is cheaper than in the town. Mrs. Wu asked the fourth child to buy more than 200 catties of coarse grain and 20 catties of polished rice. He went to the butcher's shop and cut five catties of pork belly, and the butcher who sold the meat gave them a stick bone.
When I got home, it was already dark. Mrs. Wu wanted to leave Zhao Changsheng for dinner, but he resigned.
"Meat! Milk, did you buy meat? Is it going to be a Chinese New Year? Bamao saw his father take out a piece of meat from the basket, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Oh! Chinese New Year, Chinese New Year! Like a little tail, Jiumao followed behind the fourth uncle, clapping his hands and laughing. In the vague memories of the two little ones, they can only taste the taste of meat during the Chinese New Year.
As soon as Song Laosi turned around, he was almost tripped by the two little guys. He picked up the two hairs one in one hand, and said with a smile: "What's the New Year?" It's still early for the Chinese New Year! ”
Mrs. Wu put down the sleeping Fu Ya, hid the yam and poria cake, and beckoned to a few children in the courtyard: "Come here, my grandmother bought you a pastry, and you can taste a piece of it!" ”
"Oh! Milk is the best! Liumao was the first to rush over, looking at her with bright eyes, like a begging puppy.
Bamao and Jiumao slipped down from the arms of their father (fourth uncle) and came to Mrs. Wu with cheers. If the two little ones have tails on their buttocks, they must be wagged into propellers.
Several other hairs also entered the grandmother's house one after another. Song Damao shouted at his younger brothers, pointed to Fuya who was sleeping on the kang, and lowered his voice and said, "Be quiet, don't wake up your sister." ”
Each of the nine Mao was given a piece of sweet rice cake, and they sat in a row under the eaves, from large to small, from tall to short, and everyone held a piece of rice cake in their hands, which was quite neat.
In the evening, Su Yun and Liu Cuihong cooked. They used axes to split large bones and stew them with potatoes. The meat was stewed into the potatoes, delicious and hungry, and the children each fished a bowl and ate it deliciously.
Mrs. Wu looked at the nine hairs that she was eating violently, and felt like she had raised nine little piglets. If she continued to eat like this, the remaining six taels of silver in her hand were not enough for their calamity, and her heart was depressed. Thinking of the ninety taels of silver tickets that she locked in the cabinet, she felt a little better.
The next day, Mrs. Wu invited the Jiang family over to make dumplings together! Jiang was asked to help deliver the baby, and only Jiang Zhixue and his wife and three children came.
Making dumplings is a very grand way of hospitality for the peasant family. Early in the morning, Mrs. Wu and her four daughters-in-law were busy, washing two Chinese cabbages, cutting four catties of pork belly, mixing two sorghum white noodles with a large pot, and chopping up the dumpling filling with a bang - not to mention how lively!
The third daughter-in-law spared no effort to chop the dumpling filling, and her face smiled: "Oh, today is more lively and joyful than the New Year!" In the past, during the Chinese New Year, I would cut one and a half catties of meat, and the dumplings could only be tasted by adults......"
Liu Cuihong saw that the corners of her mother-in-law's mouth gradually pulled down, and hurriedly said: "This means that our days are getting more and more prosperous, and the more we go, the more we are rushing!" ”
Mrs. Wu snorted at the third daughter-in-law and said, "If you can't speak, just shut your mouth!" What a life I had in the first two years, I didn't starve to death, I was lucky! Do you still want to eat meat, cut off my wife's meat for you to eat? It's a very happy day, but it's not happy! ”
Zhang Chunmei muttered quietly: "I don't mean anything else, I just want to say that it's better now than before, but I can eat meat every year......
Liu Cuihong smashed her with her arm and said, "Don't say it, chop the stuffing, just wait for your meat filling!" ”
Zhang Chunmei pouted, Dua
g Dua
g Dua
g, chopping the ground with minced meat, as if he had a grudge against meat. After a while, this person who didn't remember for a long time licked his face and said again: "Mother, when I went to the county yesterday, I must have sold a lot of silver, right?" You're willing to cut such a big piece of meat and come back, and the children and cubs buy pastries. It's not like I said, you're too used to them. If you can't get enough to eat, what kind of snacks do you eat? ”
"You're teaching me to do things?" Mrs. Wu slanted her eyes, her eyebrows upside down, "Beep again, don't eat dumplings, gnaw on your nest head!" Don't think that the old lady doesn't know, you robbed Sanmao's dim sum. Is there such a mother as you? Why don't you die of hunger? ”
She said to her daughters-in-law, "Now that there is a famine, the poor in the city are not as good as ours!" How many can afford pine nuts? The money sold has been exchanged for food, so don't worry about any of you! ”
The second daughter-in-law's family has textile skills, and the fourth daughter-in-law's father is a show to be exempt from taxes. Mrs. Wu said this to the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law.
