Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 23

In the end, the chicken was still not sent to the wasteland.

Zhao Xiaohua became anxious, but she didn't really go against Jin Meiyu's thoughts, and went back to her mother's house with a basket in her arms, full of anger.

She felt that she couldn't make sense with her daughter, so she wanted to go back to her mother's house and have a good talk with her mother.

Moreover, brother Zhao Xiaohua had just left, and her parents were still sad. She went back to live for a while, and it would be good to accompany the old man.

Zhao Xiaohua left angrily, Jin Meiyu watched her mother go out, thought about it, and told Jin Mangu.

"Mother went to grandma and grandpa's house, you send some bacon to grandma and grandpa."

Jin’s kitchen has bacon, which is usually smoked game, and you can’t eat a few of them all year round. They are all hung in the kitchen, and they are hung in several rows. Last year’s ones are still hanging on it.

It is said that the longer the bacon hangs, the more fragrant it is, but in Jin Meiyu's view, people prefer to eat fresh ones.

The daughters-in-law of the Jin family can't move these bacon, and when they go back to their natal homes, they can bring back some eggs at most.

The daughter-in-law of the Jin family did not dare to take such precious things as bacon back to her natal family, but Jin Meiyu dared to, and she was especially eloquent.

No, after Jin Meiyu said it, Jin Mangu went.

When they arrived at the kitchen, Jin Mangu asked Jin Meiyu after seeing several rows of bacon hanging.

"Sister-in-law, how many?"

Jin Meiyu stood outside the kitchen and looked in, looked around curiously and said.

"Let's take three or four. Grandpa and grandpa have a lot of family members, so if you take less, you won't be enough to eat."

This is what I said, if you put it in someone else's house, that piece of bacon can be eaten from the beginning of spring to the New Year.

There is basically no free food, Jin Meiyu doesn't understand this, Jin Mangu understands, but he thought about it, looked at the rows of bacon, and finally agreed.

It is one thing to understand, but it is also another thing not to return to eating.

What's more, Jin Mangu took all the cured rabbits, and didn't take any of the bacon on the side.

The Jin family doesn't eat this stuff.

It’s not that the Jin family is picky, but wax rabbits. After a long time, it’s easy to get dusty and moldy, and it’s not easy to deal with. I’ve done it twice, but it’s not cleaned up. The whole family lost their appetite. Since then, the extra rabbits will still be waxed, but they are rarely eaten, almost none, and they are all given away.

After taking down three or four wax rabbits, Jin Meiyu saw it, and immediately regained her spirits.

"Don't take three or four of the rabbits, take more than seven or eight and send them away." It can be seen that Jin Meiyu doesn't like to eat.

After Jin Mangu responded, he decisively picked several more rabbits, and the amount of wax rabbits from the previous year was finally reduced by half.

You can't just carry a bunch of waxed rabbits. Jin Liangshun often tells them that money is not revealed. However, bacon takes up space, and seven or eight waxed rabbits will definitely not work in a basket. They can only be put in the back basket. , and then carry it on its back.

Put away the bacon and prepare to go, and then met Mrs. Jin and Jin Mancang who came back for dinner.

Jin Mangu stood at the door and told what happened just now. Mrs. Jin was stunned for a while, her expression was as if she was listening to a scripture, but she looked at the flocks of chickens in the yard. Swallowing his saliva, he accepted it with some difficulty.

"Come on, I see, you go."

Although she was greedy for the bacon in her second son's back basket, Mrs. Jin was very measured and didn't touch the things there. Instead, she happily took her son and rubbed her hands into the hospital.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I'm back!"

Mrs. Jin entered the door excitedly, and when she saw Jin Meiyu, she spoke without putting down her hoe.

"Sister, there are so many chickens, it's not safe to put them outside. Let me cover you with a chicken ring to make sure it's firm."

"Huh? Does sister-in-law know how to build chicken rings?"

Mrs. Jin smiled and shook her head, talking to Jin Meiyu patiently.

"I can't, but if I can find someone who can, I will definitely cover you quickly and well, but if you hire someone, at least you have to take care of the meal, right? Look..."

Mrs. Jin means bacon in the kitchen.

There are so many bacon, it's impossible not to keep your mind on watching it every day.

But the Jin family has Jin Liangshun, the head of the family is not like the old man of other people who doesn't like to talk, he trains the daughter-in-law and children the most. Therefore, even if there is so much meat in the family, they can only eat it by themselves, and they cannot be sent back to their parents' home for no reason.

Fortunately, there are chickens at home, and some eggs can be sent home every month. This is also a good thing. As a daughter-in-law, I am content.

And after listening to so many lectures, she also understands the truth of saving the emergency rather than the poor, but recently it's not, it's really difficult.

The bacon in the family is counted among the daughters-in-law of the Jin family, who usually dare not move, but if Jin Meiyu opens her mouth, even if her father-in-law comes back, she won't say anything.

Mrs. Jin thought very well, and Jin Meiyu also nodded.

"Okay, then let them come, I will make eggs for them to eat, so they are full!"

"?" Mrs. Jin was stunned for a moment, then thought of the chickens in the yard, and became happy again.

"Hey, yes, this one is fine too, I'll call someone right now."

Eggs are good without bacon.

Mrs. Jin's heart was burning, she dropped her hoe and trotted away, staring at Jin Mancang who was following behind.

After his mother had run away, he stepped forward and asked Jin Meiyu.

"Sister-in-law, have you counted so many chickens?"

Jin Meiyu shook her head, then said naturally.

"Xiao Cang, let's count, I don't know how to count."

After finishing speaking, she waved her small hand and pointed at the chickens.

"Xiao Cang, don't forget to pick up the eggs, I still have to pay with eggs."

Jin Mancang agreed with a smile, and then reasoned with his sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, it's already noon, and the chickens have finished laying their eggs."

As soon as he finished speaking, several hens began to crow. When he looked back, several eggs appeared on the ground.

Jin Meiyu clapped her hands and pointed.

"Look, eggs! Go pick them up, Xiao Cang!"

"Hey? Hey!"

Okay, before I had lunch, I went to collect eggs all over the yard.

Mrs. Jin came back very quickly, and she brought five young and middle-aged people behind her. They were all skinny and very silent. When they came, they only silently glanced at the chickens running around in the yard, and then went straight to the backyard. Started to work.

Jin Meiyu asked Mrs. Jin, who are they, Mrs. Jin smiled, and said something with some sighs.

"My eldest sister's house."

With this sentence, Jin Meiyu stopped asking.

The five young and middle-aged people worked very quickly. They went to the backyard to look around and made a total calculation. It was impossible to expand the yard. The yard of the Jin family was built with adobe bricks, which were very strong and cost money. What to do?
Fortunately, the Jin family used to raise pigs. Later, they felt that the smell of pigs was too strong, so the pigsty was left unused, and later they piled up firewood.

Clean up, the backyard is quite big, and a two- or three-story chicken coop built with mats and branches should be able to hold as many chickens as in the front yard.
