At the doorstep.

Zhou Qiuxiang reached out and turned over the two bamboo baskets on the back of the black calf, and saw that none of the conches in it were gone, in addition to shock, she was more relieved, she turned her head to look at her drunken husband Liu Dazhao on the side: "Look at it, you see for yourself, it's also selling conch, you can't sell it at all, and your son sells all the snails, don't you feel ashamed?"

Seeing that Liu Dazhao didn't care at all, Zhou Qiuxiang reached out and grabbed Liu Dazhao's ear: "I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

It hurt to pull his ears, Liu Dazhao's drunkenness suddenly disappeared, he protected his ears and shouted: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, let go, it's okay to give some face, the children are watching!"

Poof, when Liu Cumin heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and then pulled Liu Ye and walked into the house.

Liu Dongju was going to leave with Xiao Budian and melon seeds, but when he saw Liu Xing coming back, he said: "Mom, you just give Dad a little face, you can't blame Dad for this, you can only blame Liu Xing for being too powerful, and even the conch that Dad can't sell can be sold." ”

"Are you helping me or hurting me!" Liu Dazhao asked with a smile.

Liu Dongju covered her mouth and snickered and stopped talking, but looked at Liu Xing who was walking on the rural road.

She was surprised to find that after not seeing her for more than a month, Liu Xing's height has grown a lot, how can she be more than 1.75 meters, and the whole person looks a lot more mature, especially those eyes, which seem to have a kind of vicissitudes in them.

"My younger brother, what has happened in the past month or so?" Liu Dongju muttered to herself, but she didn't ask much, she knew that the reason why such a situation happened was that something had happened in the family, and all the burden fell on Liu Xing's shoulders.

Otherwise, Liu Xing would definitely not have changed so much.

But I didn't ask much for the first time, but walked into the kitchen with melon seeds in one hand and Xiao Budian in the other, and it is estimated that everyone is hungry at this point, so it is better to cook first.

It was only when she opened the door of the rudimentary bamboo cupboard that she was stunned by the ingredients inside.

In the space on the first floor, there is a large bowl of sliced white meat, which looks just right for fat and thin, and you don't have to think about it to be cut out of the best pork belly.

This is not what surprised Liu Dongju the most.

On the third floor, there was a bowl of boiled pork ribs, although there were no condiments yet, but the delicious appearance had already made her saliva come out.

"Mom, what have you been doing at home these days, how can you have pork ribs and pork belly to eat?"

In her memory, she used to eat meat only during the Chinese New Year, and there were only one or two pieces.

Today, however, I saw two large bowls in the cupboard, which was either a dream or a pig slaughtered at home.

However, the pig at home will notify her to come to eat meat, and there will definitely be no news at all.

Zhou Qiuxiang heard the shouting at the door, smiled and hurriedly put on her apron and ran in: "Silly girl, what are you shouting, you have a good mouth, and you just bought meat at home, otherwise you can eat it." ”

"Who bought it?"

"The family has been making a lot of money lately?"

Liu Dongju asked curiously.

"Alas, that's the ......" While Zhou Qiuxiang was washing rice and cooking, he told the latest events in the family, including Liu Hang being found selling scales in school, and Liu Dazhao's right foot was scratched, and Liu Xing rode a black calf to the city to sell river snails.

Liu Dongju listened quietly, and after understanding, it was very uncomfortable in her heart.

She knew that her mother was easy, but in fact, Liu Xing had endured something that she shouldn't have at this age.

Otherwise, how could Liu Xing risk riding a black calf to sell river snails in the city, to be honest, even he, a person in his twenties, would not dare to try it.

And Liu Xing not only did it, but also succeeded.

The bitterness is still tiring.

I'm afraid that only Liu Xing himself knows.

Thinking of this, Liu Dongju raised his head: "Mom, we can't let Liu Xing stay at home like this, we have to let him learn a craft, carpenter and mason, otherwise he won't even be able to find a wife in the future." ”

Seeing that his mother was silent and did not speak, Liu Dongju said again: "The current situation in the family should be saved, what should I do in the future after buying so much meat! There is also the money Liu Xing earned, we should save it for him to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

The second Liu Cumin will definitely go to college in the future, and the fourth Liu Ye looks good at reading.

If you really want Liu Xing to stay at home and farm to help raise two college students, then to be honest, she is 10,000 unwilling to be a sister.

Because when the second and fourth books are read, the third will become an old bachelor, and it will be even more difficult to marry a daughter-in-law when the time comes.

"Well, I don't want to! But lately, I've been spending almost all my money on fertilizers and pesticides. Zhou Qiuxiang replied with a wry smile.

"And your dad's feet, which also cost some money. After a pause, Zhou Qiuxiang added.

Liu Dongju was silent, he knew his mother's kind character, if he wasn't forced to do so, he would never touch the money Liu Xing earned.

Thinking about this, she felt a little uncomfortable.

also knows that the current situation of my mother's family is not optimistic.

After all, my father has no ability, and it is not easy to support a large family by farming.

Seeing that the fire in the stove was a little small, I was about to add a handful of firewood, but I found that my daughter was standing on a stool and tiptoe to steal the ribs in the cupboard to eat, and the melon seeds on the side were also secretly wiping her mouth.

"Tingting, what are you doing?" Liu Dongju was stunned for a moment and hurriedly reached out and hugged Xiao Budian: "You have eaten the ribs now, what are you going to eat for dinner?"

"Meaty, delicious. Xiao Bu replied happily.

Melon Seed also nodded on the side.

"It's delicious, you can't steal it!" Liu Dongju was a little distressed, and wanted to scold a few more words, but he couldn't open his mouth when the words came to his mouth.

When Zhou Qiuxiang saw this scene, she ran into the hall in a daze, and when she came back, she had an extra bag of twist flowers in her hand, as well as a bag of white rabbit toffee: "Come here, grandma will give you something delicious." ”

"Mom, where did this twist flower and the little white rabbit toffee come from?"

"We've really made a fortune lately?"

Liu Dongju asked with a glare.

"Your brother bought it, don't ask so much, just eat some of it. Zhou Qiuxiang replied.

"This loser. Liu Dongju was a little angry.

After all, a pound of white rabbit toffee costs more than a piece, and if you sell eggs, it will take dozens of them to get it!

But thinking so, Liu Dongju, who had never eaten the little white rabbit toffee, saw that Xiao Budian took one to her, and immediately peeled it off and put it in his mouth.

"Wow! it's so sweet!" Liu Dongju shouted.

"Sweet!" Zhou Qiuxiang smiled.

Seeing Liu Ye and Liu Ziran hiding at the door drooling, he even put away his smile and shouted: "If you want to eat, come in and get it yourself, remember two per person, if you eat too much, you will have bad teeth." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Ye hurriedly ran in, grabbed a handful of toffee and ran out.

However, before he could run out of the kitchen, he was caught by Liu Dongju, picked up the broom and pulled it over: "You kid still has the face to eat milk candy! When you stole other people's scales, why weren't you killed, do you know how much money your mother has accompanied you? That's a full ten yuan." ”

"Eldest sister, when did Liu Ye steal the scales?" Liu Cumin took out two White Rabbit toffees from the bag and asked with some surprise.

"You ask him to go. Liu Dongju didn't bother to say it.

If you talk too much, Liu Ye won't listen to her.

After all, she got married.

However, Liu Cumin didn't think so, and after putting away the white rabbit toffee and three twist flowers, he found a thorn from the corner of the kitchen, and after testing the flexibility, he walked out with a smile.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Dongju shouted.

Liu Ziran did not answer, but disappeared into the night.

A moment later, Liu Ye's wolf howl and crying came from the hall.

Zhou Qiuxiang shook her head when she heard this, but she also had a lot of care.

After all, in this family, only Liu Ziran can manage Liu Ye now.

If others want Liu Ye to be obedient, they will have to wait for the sun to come out of the west.

Liu Dongju also came back to her senses, and she smiled: "Liu Ye, this monkey, is still afraid of cumin, it's really a little unexpected." ”

"By the way, what about Liu Xingren!" Liu Dongju glanced outside the kitchen: "It won't take so long for this cow, right?"

"The black calf went to the city today and made a lot of contributions, and he wants to feed the rice bran!" Zhou Qiuxiang explained.

"Oh, this kid still takes care of the black calf so carefully!" Liu Dongju was a little surprised.

"Yes, but fools have foolish blessings, otherwise going to the market to sell conch this time would definitely not have gone so smoothly. Zhou Qiuxiang replied with a smile. As soon as she remembered that Liu Xing could sell the conch, but her husband couldn't, she couldn't bear it.
