Grandma Qi raised her head and laughed twice, and said, "This is the little daughter-in-law, my eldest granddaughter will be able to marry in two years, and the three sons have sons and daughters." ”

"Then you are so blessed, we have no fate, and we still want to come to your own family." The old grandmother is a straightforward person, and she doesn't feel ashamed of coming forward to find her daughter-in-law's house.

Bei Niang watched happily from the side, and when the two old ladies finished chatting, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked home with the sunset on their backs.

Walking out of the street, they met Haizhu buying rice noodles and live chickens, and the three of them turned into the alley together, and met Qi Laosan pulling Chaoping to sell door-to-door.

"You've all gone grocery shopping?" Qi Laosan asked, "I didn't lock the gate, my second brother is still in the yard, I will go around the distance when you come back, and the neighbors in this alley have even eaten enough braised vegetables for a few days." ”

"Okay, I'll be back when it's dark." Grandma Qi glanced at Chaoping, "You also go with your third uncle to sell?" ”

Chaoping smiled and nodded, "My third uncle said to give me ten cents." ”

The hen in her hand screamed and struggled to flap her wings, and Qi Laosan hurriedly pulled Chaoping and ran away, so as not to fall into the pot.

Haizhu carried the hen home, two live chickens stuffed in the chicken coop and put them in the corner, she said to Grandma Qi: "Milk, when you get up tomorrow morning, you will boil the pot and boil the water to kill the chicken first, and I will stew the chicken soup when I get up." ”

"Okay."

Several birds flew over the roof, one of their black feathers fell off into the yard, and the two kittens screamed over the feathers.

Dongzhu and Fengping came back from school, as soon as the two entered the door, they went to the kitchen, Fengping sat under the stove and lit the fire, Dongzhu circled around the stove, sat at the door with garlic and peeled it, and the sisters and brothers scrambled to tell Haizhu what they learned today.

Haizhu went to the firewood room to get firewood, and Dongzhu followed him with garlic, sticking to people's heels like a fart.

Grandma Qi brushed the conch and stared at the two sisters walking around, and it was rare for Haizhu to be patient, willing to listen to Dongzhu and Fengping talk about the quarrels of children in the private school every day.

Haizhu came out to scoop up the water, and she smiled helplessly at Grandma Qi's gaze.

"Is it noisy?" Grandma Qi asked.

"It's okay, I'll just be two storytellers."

"What storytelling?" Dongzhu came out and asked, "Did you go to the teahouse?" ”

"No, the garlic cloves are peeled?" Haizhu scooped water into the kitchen, "Peel it and wash it for me, I'm going to prepare the stir-fry." ”

Dongzhu didn't ask, and hurriedly took the garlic to wash.

The meal was ready, Qi Laosan also came back with Chaoping on his back, Chaoping was holding a bag of sugar in his hand, and the ten cents he earned today was spent before he was hot, and when he got home, he excitedly distributed candy to everyone to eat.

The moon was missing a corner, and the moonlight sprinkled was hazy, and lanterns were lit in the courtyard, which moved with the wind, and the halo cast was reflected on everyone's faces.

As the door opened and closed, the courtyard was empty, and the half-windowed room leaked a small whisper.

"Don't talk about it, go to sleep, and get up early tomorrow morning." Grandma Qi shouted.

Immediately, the oil candle was extinguished, and the whole courtyard fell into darkness.

As the night receded, the sky turned dark blue, and the two chickens in the corner flapped their wings, their wings flapping on the coop with a muffled sound.

Grandma Qi woke up when she heard the movement, there were still a few stars in the sky, and the early morning wind was cool, and it was still a little cool on her body.

As soon as the fire was lit in the stove, there was a knock on the door, Grandma Qi walked over and glanced at the crack in the door, opened the door and said, "Why did you get up so early today?" ”

"I had a dream, and when I woke up, I couldn't sleep."

"What did you dream about?"

Qi Laosan said a few times and walked into the kitchen to kill the chicken with a knife.

Grandma Qi smiled when she looked at him, and she went into the house to continue to light the fire.

The water boiled, the sky was a little brighter, Haizhu heard the movement and sat up from the bed, she got dressed and went out, washed her face, took her purse and went out to buy vegetables.

The alley was quiet, there were already fireworks on the street, and there were two or three people setting up stalls in the fishing market, and the wind was mixed with the smell of fresh sea.

Haizhu arrived at the pork shop, the pork had not yet been put on the shelf, and several guys from the restaurant at the door were already waiting, and there was still sleepiness on their faces.

When it was her turn, the pork guy looked at her and said, "The price of pork has risen today, and the pig will cost twenty pounds a pound, and it will cost ten pounds?" ”

"Why has the price of pork also risen?" Haizhu took two strings of copper plates and put them on the table, "It's still ten catties." ”

"Once it is rainy, even the price of fish and shrimp in the sea will rise, how can the price of pork not rise." The pork guy cut a knife of meat and hung it on the scale, saying: "There is still half a month before the sea opens, I just hope that the sky will not change again." ”

Not only has the price of pork risen, but also the price of seafood, and the price of tofu and tofu skin has not increased, but the cut pieces are smaller.

Haizhu went back and said to his family, "I don't know if the price can be lowered when the sea opens." ”

"Then should we follow the price increase?" Qi Laosan asked.

"Forget it, you can't make much money if you raise a penny, and it will take a lot of saliva to explain." Haizhu carried the cleaned meat and put it on the cutting board, she went into the house to get a kitchen knife, and when she chopped the meat, she thought of Han Ji, and she didn't know where he went.

Dongzhu and Fengping got up, and Haizhu asked, "Are you still going to sell pancakes this morning?" Didn't cut leeks yesterday and came back. ”

"Cut, Bei Niang went to cut, she has been cleaned and washed, and the face has been haired. Dongzhu, you go to the yard next door to get it, and when you go in, your third aunt is still sleeping. Qi Laosan explained.

Dongzhu ran out of the door with a smoke, and Fengping washed his face and went into the house to help light the fire.

Qi Laosan pushed the cart out to fetch water, Grandma Qi sat in the yard with a basin and kneaded the dough, and after a while, Dongzhu and Bei Niang walked in, and the two cut leeks and went to the beach to pry oyster meat when it was dark.

"Milk-" Shiohei woke up, and he lay on the bed and called someone.

"Get up by yourself, get dressed and get up, you're busy, no one cares about you."

Chaoping took his bare ass and took his clothes out to sit on the threshold to wear, he was still confused, wearing a pair of trouser legs and was stunned for a long time, and when everyone began to roll out the dough and wrap wontons, he woke up.

"Come and watch the fire." Feng Ping beckoned to him, "The chicken soup is almost stewed, you continue to sit here and make a small fire, and I'll make the wontons." ”

"Our family is a fire, and we also have successors, both adults and children are useful." Grandma Qi smiled.

It happened that Bei Niang came in with a basket, Feng Ping pointed to her stomach and said, "When the third aunt gives birth to a baby, we will also teach him to make a fire." ”

Bei Niang touched her stomach, put down the basket and washed her hands to wrap the wontons.

Dongzhu was busy cutting the meat and oysters, mixing the stuffing and covering the lid, she went into the kitchen to take a look, saw that the tide was flat and there was no problem with the fire, and also went out to make wontons.

The wontons were almost wrapped, Haizhu soaked the rice noodles in warm water, and then stopped the fire and scooped the chicken soup into a wooden basin and took it to the yard next door, and the washed shrimp, crab and snails were also scooped up and served.

"Chaoping, come and make a fire for me." Haizhu shouted across the courtyard.

She poured the chicken soup into the pot, poured the shrimp and crab into the pieces, lit the fire for Chaoping to take over, and she scooped another half pot of water to continue to cook the rice noodles.

Two diners walked in the courtyard, they moved their own stools and sat down, and asked through the door, "What's the meal today?" ”

"Wontons and chicken soup, crab roe and shrimp powder, no braised vegetables."

"Then I want chicken soup and crab roe, two bowls."

The chicken soup has been boiled, the shells of the shrimp and crabs have changed color, Haizhu squatted down and peeled the green onions, cut the green onions and put them in the bowl for later use, and then scooped up the shrimp and crabs, and the remaining conch continued to pour in and cook.

The rice noodles were cooked, Qi Laosan also came back with water, he went into the house to see the sea pearl noodles in the stew pot, poured chicken soup and then stacked crab pieces and shrimp segments, and finally put on two hooked snail meat, and then sprinkled with green onions, the color is very beautiful.

He went out with noodles and came in and said, "Haizhu, cook a bowl of chicken soup wontons for your third aunt, let her eat it and then go to the stall." ”

"Okay, you go and ask Dongzhu and Fengping to see if they eat noodles or wontons."

"It's definitely powder." Qi Laosan ran over and asked, and came back and said, "Eat noodles, you want a lot of shrimp meat." ”

The chicken soup is shiny, the emerald green onions floating in the bowl are also dyed, the orange-red crab shells and shrimp shells are shining with oily light, Dongzhu took the bowl, and ran back to tear the chicken thighs over, a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of meat, sucking powder and chewing shrimp, the diners who entered the door glanced at her, and immediately said: "Give me a bowl of noodles in the Dongzhu bowl." ”

Chapter 120: The Idea of Buying a Boat

The chicken soup and crab roe and shrimp roe were the first to be sold, and the later diners could only order the wontons, and the ones that they may not have eaten were the most fragrant, they looked at the shrimp shells and crab shells piled up under the wall, smelled the residual chicken soup in the small courtyard, and chewed the fragrant and tender wontons in their mouths, and felt that they were missing two points of taste.

"Haizhu, prepare more chicken soup and shrimp and crab tomorrow morning, and I'll come over tomorrow morning to eat crab roe."

"Then you have to come early tomorrow, and you can come early." Haizhu brought out a bowl of wontons and let Chaoping sit and eat, "If you want to eat chicken, go over and let the milk cut a piece for you."

Chaoping shook his head, he had already eaten a chicken leg.

"And chicken? Cut me a plate. The diner at the other table said that he lived at the end of the alley, and he wanted to come later to try to be quiet, but who knew that there were only wontons left, and there were no pickled vegetables, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Qi Laosan looked at Haizhu, Haizhu shook his head, "The stewed chicken is reserved for noon, not sold."

The sister-in-law who bought the last bowl of chicken soup and crab roe put down the bowl after drinking the chicken soup, she wiped her mouth and asked, "Haizhu, what else is your stewed chicken soup mixed with to stew together?" The chicken broth is quite thick, and I still have a fresh aroma to taste, which I can't taste like a hen stewed alone. ”

Haizhu raised her lips and smiled, "Sister-in-law's tongue spirit is mixed with other stews." When stewing chicken, cut a finger-long dried bonito and stew it together, the dried bonito is not delicious when stewed, it is only suitable for seasoning and flavoring.

"Okay, the cooking is getting better." The sister-in-law didn't ask much, settled the bill and went out.

Qi Laosan immediately took a rag to clean up the table, and the table was vacated and went to the next door to call the old lady, it's time for them to eat.

The sun rose to the roof, only half of the shade was left in the courtyard, and the diners in the courtyard were checking out one after another.

"I'll go to Hongshi Village later, see my mother, I haven't been here for a while, I'll pick him up for a meal." Haizhu said.

"I'll go too." Chaoping raised his hand.

"Then I'm going to buy a few catties of pork ribs and come back to stew, or do I buy pork belly?" Grandma Qi asked Haizhu, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"Let's make pork belly, I'll come back to make braised pork, and there is already stewed chicken, so I won't stew pork ribs." Haizhu saw that Chaoping was full, she got up and washed her hands, and then took him out.

On the way, he met Yu Laishun holding Pingsheng by the way, and he asked kindly: "Go to my house?" Your mother is at home, you take Pingsheng back first, I'll buy meat, and you stay for dinner at noon. ”

"No, I'm here to pick up Pingsheng for dinner." Haizhu stroked her short hair and asked, "It was windy and rainy a few days ago, how is the situation of your family?" ”

"The roof was half lifted, and the bricklayer was hired, and he came in the afternoon."

"Then you go and get busy, I won't go over to bother, I'll take it away in my life, and I'll pick him up when you're busy at home."

Yu Laishun nodded, and explained that his life had passed, so don't make trouble.

Haizhu looked at him twice, she hadn't seen him for some days, she found that Yu Laishun's eyes were much calmer, and she didn't know whether she wanted to open it or was forced to accept it, and she was no longer vigilant about getting along with her relatives here.

She took one by one to the street to watch Dongzhu set up a stall to sell cakes, Yu Laishun followed her, turned around halfway to the dock to inquire about the day the sea opened, and went back and took the initiative to say to Qin Jingniang: "I met Haizhu on the way, and I went with her in my life, and when the house is cleaned up, we will pick him up again." ”

"She didn't come?" Qin Jingniang raised her head, just after breakfast, the day was not too hot, and she was already sweating on her face.

Yu Laishun took the broom and swept the floor, asked her to sit aside to rest, and said, "If you want to see her, go over, and when the family is busy, you take your life to the door." ”

On the 16th day of July, she sent Dongzhu and Fengping away, I don't know what to say, I came back crying with red eyes, and then I was sick for a few days and couldn't keep up. Yu Laishun didn't have a good time in those days, and then she also wanted to open a little more, and no longer stopped her from getting along with a few children.

Qin Jingniang scooped water to wash her face, and sighed inaudibly with the sound of rushing water, she was a little afraid to see Dongzhu.

The dog outside the door suddenly barked twice, and a man walked to the door with a stick and said, "Come to Shun, I'll inquire, there is a merchant ship going north on the third day of the eighth month, and you can order more goods for the remaining ten days, and then go back together." ”

"Okay." Yu Lai complied, "Which ship?" ”

"Chen's boat."
