Chapter 40: Brothers with the same fate
"Little niece, I'll buy you a flower later!"
Song Haitao didn't ask Song Hailong if he agreed, patted his chest and promised.
Song Hailong went to redeem Xu Tiansheng's jade pendant first, because it didn't take a few days, so only a dozen copper plates were added.
After that, a few people really went to the market, Song Jinyue thought that after famine and war, the market must be a depression, but she didn't expect that in such a situation, there were still many people out of the stall.
Of course, it can't be compared with the prosperous period, but it can also meet the needs of several people.
Several people went to the porridge shop first, and one asked for a bowl of ballast porridge, cushioned his stomach, and spent a total of nine yuan, which can be said to be very expensive, after all, the price of grain is there.
However, they now have money, and they drink a few bowls of rice porridge.
Then Song Haitao pulled Song Jinyue and couldn't wait to come to the pastry stall and choose some affordable pastries.
I also took Song Jinyue to buy a few beautiful hairpins, some fabrics to make clothes for the whole family, and also bought some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, rice and flour candy.
Looking at Song Haitao's strength in spending money, Song Jinyue did not doubt that if he gave him the fifty taels of silver, he would probably spend it all in one day.
Song Hailong didn't talk about him, he followed behind the two of them, and was only responsible for paying for it.
"Almost, uncle!"
Song Jinyue is not distressed about money, she is afraid that she will not be able to put it down in the end after buying too much, and she will have to put firewood to cover people's eyes and ears when she goes home!
Under Song Jinyue's persuasion, Song Haitao finally stopped, and after all, he spent almost ten taels of silver on this toss, Song Jinyue said in her heart, if this is born in modern times, it will be a proper moonlight clan.
In fact, Song Haitao bought a large part of the food, and if you think about it carefully, one pound of rice for five days is indeed a bit insufficient.
Now that the tiger is gone, everyone dares to dig some food at the foot of the mountain, but life is always not good, everyone is hungry and full.
Thinking of this, Song Hailong didn't blame him too much.
After shopping around the market, a few people pushed the flat cart home, passed by the small forest outside the county, cut some trees and pressed them on it, and spread some weeds on it, and then a few people quickly walked home.
By this time, most of the families had already finished eating, and they all went out together to cut down some trees.
Song Jinyue and others pushed the cart back and attracted the attention of many people.
"It's good to still have a car, you don't have to be busy for a few days this time!"
A man with a pockmarked face greeted him, stared at the flat car, and said flatteringly, "Xiaolong, will you still use this car later, can you borrow it from me?" ”
"But the Niu family has already said hello before, or you wait for tomorrow!"
The Niu family that Song Hailong said was the one he met when he went out, and he is not in this team now.
In fact, it is not impossible to agree directly, but Song Hailong is worried that he will follow him home, and this car of things will not be able to hide at that time.
"That's it, tomorrow will be tomorrow!"
When the pockmarked man heard that Song Hailong agreed to borrow his car, he was quite surprised, but his joy was also true.
Song Hailong pushed a cart of wood back home, and Mrs. Song greeted him.
Several sacks of things were dragged off the flat car, and then the family covered up and got the things into the house.
The room was empty, and there was not even a place to hide anything except a few makeshift straw mats for sleeping, which was a nuisance.
This family has a cellar, where you can put some potatoes and sweet potatoes, and most of the grain they buy is low-priced potatoes, ten yuan a catty, and they buy about two hundred catties.
Song Haitao is a ruthless person, he wanted to buy all the money for food at that time, and he was not afraid of starvation in case of famine in the future.
But I feel that others will not agree to him doing this, so I pressed this idea for the time being, thinking that I still have to find a way to make more money and see if I can move to the county seat in the future.
He has inquired about the house in the county seat, the small place is not big, the house is quite expensive, and it has to be a hundred taels to the bottom, and now he can only put this idea aside for the time being.
"Put the other things in the mother's house first, don't open the door easily when outsiders come!"
After a busy time, the things that should be hidden are hidden, and the delicious things naturally can't be eaten now, in broad daylight, who knows who will come to visit the door.
Mrs. Song said: "I also left you porridge, do you want to drink some?" ”
"Of course you want to drink it!"
Song Haitao had a bitter face, a bowl of porridge didn't have many dry goods, and he couldn't be hungry.
When a few people were eating, the Niu family came to borrow a car, and it was Niu Dawei who came.
Song Hailong heard the footsteps, and before he could enter the house, he greeted him.
"Oh, Xiaolong, I'm here to borrow a car!"
"Uncle Niu, here, the firewood has been unloaded, you can use it!"
Niu Dawei didn't think much about it, thanked him, and pushed the cart away.
Niu Dawei walked head and foot, and a few more came to the back foot, all of them borrowed cars, and the Song family was very annoyed.
After sending these people away, Mrs. Song breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's discuss how to cook this wild boar!"
Mrs. Song wanted to stew directly, worried that the taste would be too big and attract bad people, but the most uneasy ones were those homeless people.
The people in the same village at least know the roots, these homeless people were on the road before, and some people secretly cut the corpses of robbers and roasted them to eat, if they could, Mrs. Song even wanted to change places to live.
"Let's make dumplings, it just so happens that Uncle just bought flour!"
Song Jinyue thinks that making dumplings can minimize the impact, cut the meat filling raw, and then wrap the dough directly, cook it in the pot, and only know the fragrance when you eat it, and save the taste from passing it out.
"Okay, just listen to you, let's make dumplings at night!"
Mrs. Song said with a smile.
Meat-stuffed dumplings, I want the whole family to eat this for the last time, or a few days before Song Haishan separated! That is, Haitao ate a few more dumplings at that time, Yun Niang started a temper, and the family was divided.
At this moment, Song Haitao's face changed a little when he heard the word dumplings, this was his heart disease.
"Uncle, what are you thinking?"
Song Jinyue's hand shook in front of his eyes, Song Haitao suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Song Jinyue with a bright smile, and took her as a sister-in-law in a trance, and a grievance instantly came to his heart.
"I'm thinking about eating dumplings!"
Song Haitao quickly adjusted his mood and smiled ruffian at Song Jinyue.
Song Haishan didn't know what Song Haitao thought, in the final analysis, this matter was made by his daughter-in-law, and he couldn't even do the most basic coordination at that time, it was really useless!
"Haitao, it's the eldest brother who is not good, our family will be good in the future!"
Song Haishan said apologetically.
"What's wrong with big brother, big brother will always be big brother!"
Song Haitao smiled, as if he had left the troubles just now.
Song Hailong thought of that sister-in-law, and couldn't help but think of Shen Cuilai, their Song family men were really brothers, and couldn't help but let out a wry smile.
Everyone's different moods stopped as Mrs. Song brought out the live dough, Song Hailong hurried over to take the basin, and Song Haitao also went to serve the dumpling filling.
The family has a large population, except for Han Ling and Song Jinnan, they will make dumplings, and Song Haishan is also busy with the work, and it will not take long for the neat rows of dumplings to be wrapped.
The water in the kitchen has been boiled, and the dumplings have been boiled in the pot for a few times.
Looking at these crystal clear and steaming dumplings on the table, Song Jinnan took a deep breath, and his mouth had begun to secrete some unknown liquid.
