Old Man Gu looked at the pound of fat dangling in front of him, and repeatedly doubted in his heart. This old sand head is notoriously deductible and poor, and he even buys meat?

Mrs. Gu was watching from the sidelines in a hurry, how fragrant this fat meat is! How long has her eldest grandson been talking about it, and how much food can he ask for a pound of meat!

"How much do you want to change?"

"Twenty pounds."

"You go, we won't change."

The words fell, and Lao Shatou turned his head and walked away directly. Old Mrs. Gu originally felt that twenty catties was too much, but when she saw that the person was really gone, she couldn't help but get anxious again.

Meat is inherently more expensive than grain, let alone fat. Although it is not about 20 times worse, there is less meat at the moment, and it is inevitably reasonable to be more expensive.

"Old man, it looks like the New Year is coming, and it's not bad to get half a catty."

"Yes, Dad, my son hasn't eaten pork for a long time."

Old Man Gu turned his head and glanced at everyone expressionlessly, and everyone was silent for a while: "Wensheng will come back in the next two days, and it won't be a moment and a half." ”

Everyone didn't speak, and after Old Man Gu left, they all silently went back to each room.

The next evening, Gu Wensheng came back.

The whole family was delighted and happily circled around him until he pulled out a piece of pork that was only half the size of a palm.

"Wensheng, this ......"

"Mother, you don't know, this year's meat can't be bought with money, just like that, I bought it at a high price!" Gu Wensheng turned around and sat on the kang, and said helplessly: "I don't know why the Zhao family suddenly wants so much dried meat." ”

"Is it Lord Zhao in the town who is leaving the meat?" The Zhao family was arrogant at that time because of Gu Qi, and when they came back after knowing the news, they even felt that it was a superfluous move, resulting in the rest of the people except her being shocked when they heard the news.

"What's more!" Gu Wensheng jumped up from the kang suddenly, as if he knew something terrible: "Not only the meat, noodles, vegetables, and even cloth have been wrapped in a circle by the Zhao family." ”

Hearing this, Old Lady Gu nodded thoughtfully, and turned her head to look at Zhao Xiu'er: "Second daughter-in-law, do you think this is not easy to do?" How can Xiao Qi say that he is also half the master of their Zhao family, so it doesn't matter if he takes out so much food to subsidize his mother's family, right? You should go to town now and talk to Xiao Qi well, after all, this is the New Year, how can you do it without meat? ”

Hearing this, Gu Wensheng immediately looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked if it was true or false, the Zhao family is a piece of fat, if it can really catch up with the Zhao family, it is naturally indispensable to take benefits! After getting a definite response, Gu Wensheng's eyes looking at Zhao instantly lost their condescending look.

And the Zhao family pursed their lips unhappily when they heard this, her Xiaoqi was raised by her, and the position of this concubine was also begged by her crying, even if she subsidized something for her mother's family, it was subsidized to her! Why did she give it to others for free?

"Mother, Xiao Qi is just a concubine, then Aunt Zhao knows that she is not a good stubble, not to mention subsidizing her mother's family, Xiao Qi may not have enough to eat in Zhao Mansion now!"

Mrs. Gu didn't care about that, and immediately said, "If she is really miserable, can she still secretly send you roast duck?" ”

Zhao was silent, but Old Man Gu saw through the key at a glance: "Xiu'er, it doesn't matter if we eat or not, but no matter what, we can't be bitter, Zhiqi and Xiaoba, aren't they?" That's all we can count on these two children! ”

Hearing this, Zhao was stunned, yes, her little eight is a rich and noble life, the master said that a good life must be born and raised, otherwise if the cause and effect are broken, this life will not work. Thinking that Gu Ba had been clamoring to eat meat for the past two days, Zhao immediately couldn't sit still.

"Okay, you wait, I'll go to the town and take a look at it, and assign something to bring back home."

After saying that, the Zhao family went out directly and walked towards the town, she originally thought that Xiao Qi had just married in the past, and she was still a fellow villager of Lord Zhao, although she didn't say what she wanted, but she was bound to be no inferior to Mrs. Zhao in the house; Unexpectedly, when he arrived outside the door of Lord Zhao in the town, he was stopped.

"What are you doing here? I can tell you that my daughter is the concubine of your family, and if you offend me, you will not need good fruit to eat! ”

Hearing this, the guards of the Zhao family laughed unceremoniously: "You mean that Gu Qi, don't worry, brother will take you to see her." ”

Zhao panicked and knew that something was wrong.

Originally, I thought that with the affection of the same villagers, no matter how much Lord Zhao was ruthless, but after walking for a long time, he didn't see the intention of stopping, and Zhao hurriedly struggled: "Where are you going to take me?" I can tell you......"

"Alright, here we are."

One of them interrupted Zhao impatiently, let go of her, took out a bunch of keys from his arms and opened the door of the firewood room: "The person is inside, go in." ”

Zhao looked at the man, then at the dim room, and was a little incredulous for a moment. Slowly stepped forward to open the door, and before he could go in, he heard Gu Qi's begging for mercy.

"Madam, I know it's wrong, I really know, I promise there will be no next time, you have a lot of adults, spare me this time!"

Zhao looked at the person who kept kowtowing to her with his cloak and kept kowtowing, and he couldn't believe it for a while.

"Little Seven ......"

Hearing the sound, the people on the ground were suddenly stunned, and when they looked up, they cried out when they saw Zhao Shiwa.

"Mother!"

"Little Seven!"

"Mother......" Gu Qi jumped up and hugged Zhao's and cried silently: "Mother...... I don't want anyone to serve me, mother, take me home! Then, that lady really wants to kill Xiao Qi! ”

Zhao also cried silently: "My poor baby! ”

"Alright, alright, it's time, it's time to go." The guards came in on time according to the time said by Aunt Zhao and pulled people out.

"Mother, don't go! Mother! Mother-"

The Zhao family was unbelievable when they were thrown out of the house, how could this be so good all of a sudden? No, she wants to see Lord Zhao, her Xiaoqi can't be bullied for nothing!

"Open the door! I want to see Lord Zhao, and I want to tell him about Xiao Qi in person! ”

Zhao slammed the door hard, and two minutes later, the door was opened again, grabbed Zhao and threw the person down the steps.

"You don't have to see it, that's what our family means."

"There are so many concubines in the house, and anyone who sees his wife must bow down and be small, your daughter is good, relying on her youth to have the meaning of replacement. To keep her alive right now is to be gracious. ”

As the door slammed shut again, Zhao fell to the ground completely, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses and cry.

I don't know how long it took, there was already a moon in the sky, Zhao looked up at the sky, and walked home with dry eyes. Zhao's soul was emptied, and he took stiff steps step by step, until he reached the entrance of the village, and suddenly came back to his senses.

No, she still has Hachi! If the family knew that Xiao Qi's current situation would be more biased towards the big house, she would have to fight for Xiao Ba no matter what she said!

Hearing the movement of Zhao Xiu'er coming back, Wang ran out without even having time to put down the spatula. On weekdays, it's like cooking for a family, but Zhao's is the case, and now he makes an exception to help her cook, so I can't give them less when I share the meat!

But after running over, Wang Shi took a look at the left, but he didn't see the meat: "Xiaoxiu, where did you put the meat?" Take it out for everyone to see! ”

Zhao looked at the crowd of people surrounding her in front of him, smiled apologetically, and then patted his stomach: "Lord Zhao said that he was not allowed to take the food out, there was no way, so I ate there a meal."

Hearing this, everyone's expectant faces immediately disappeared, Wang looked at the spatula in his hand, and immediately became unbalanced: "Second brother and daughter-in-law, because you are digging for the food for the family, I have made this meal for you, and now you are full of yourself, this is unreasonable!"

Old Lady Gu pulled her face unhappily: "You didn't get it back at all?"

Zhao clapped his hands hard, and several of them said seriously: "What about that?" I'm hiding it, and I'm going to have to bring it back, no. ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces immediately dyed with joy again, but before they could faint, they heard Zhao continue: "But I never thought that there was a special gatekeeper in Lord Zhao's house, as soon as I walked to the door, things were searched!"

"You, why are you stupid like this, that thing doesn't know what to hide?" Old Lady Gu looked at the Zhao family, looking like she hated iron but not steel.

Seeing this, the Wang family also stuffed the shovel directly into Zhao Xiu'er's hand quite powerfully, and left without even saying hello.

Mrs. Gu went directly into the house to find Old Man Gu to solve the problem of meat. This is about to be the New Year, and when the villagers walk through the door, they can't even afford to eat a piece of meat, isn't that a joke?

After walking for a while, Zhao was panicked, but he had to pretend to be indifferent and happy.

When Zhao was about to go to the kitchen alone, Gu Wensheng suddenly came up and said that he was idle and had nothing to do, so he went to help. He had known about the Zhao family before, and according to the previous investigation, today's matter was normal, and it would be strange if he really let the Zhao family bring back a large piece of pork.

On the other side, Old Man Gu thought about it in many ways, and finally asked Gu Youcai to take twenty catties of multigrain flour to find Lao Shatou.

What I didn't expect was that Lao Shatou would sit on the ground and start the price.

"Forty pounds? What's the difference between you and robbing?"
