The whole family crosses to farm

Chapter 67 Sauce Pork Trotters

Lin Jiale was puzzled, picked up a knife and chopped pig's trotters, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Let's not think about the first two, Xiao Junzhi from the Zhang family, see if you can settle for our daughter first."

Fang Xiaocao could not fix Lin Jiale with a single sentence. She gestured with a knife on the pig's trotters for a while, then turned her head and asked, "What does this mean?"

"It means to act first," Fang Xiaocao said, and glanced outside, "Aren't you very anxious to get your daughter married? Are you really reluctant?"

"Really," Lin Jiale changed to cutting pig's trotters along the bone seam this time, and whispered: "Don't be so anxious, how old is my daughter now?"

"You don't even look at the current marriage and love market," Fang Xiaocao said, "Although I didn't go out when I was in the Lin family, I met a few relatives. Those little kids didn't even go to junior high school, and some of them passed It’s a small decision. At this time, people attach great importance to the important matter of marriage, from the time the marriage is settled to the completion of the six ceremonies, basically several years have passed.”

"If you don't favor your daughter now, can you still let her fall in love freely in the future? Moreover, if you leave the child until the seventeenth or eighteenth to choose a son-in-law, you really can only pick up the rest."

Lin Jiale said: "That can't be a kid, I think the two big ones of the Zhang family, if you tell my daughter, she might agree."

"You have a good idea." Fang Xiaocao rolled her eyes, "Just now, you didn't see the colorful threads on Ke's waist tied together, it looks like it was given by his fiancée."

"How do you know?" Lin Jiale looked at his daughter-in-law, when did he become a fortune teller?

Fang Xiaocao said: "You only know how to do business all day long. You don't pay attention to these small things under your nose no matter how many times you see them. At this time, unmarried men and women who are engaged to each other have the custom of giving gifts to each other. Daughters usually embroider a Put a veil on the veil, as long as this young man wears a colorful veil around his waist, it will have the same effect as when we wear a ring on our ring finger after we get married."

Lin Jiale said that he really has to be educated.

"Besides, the one who came up with Junzhi last time was Chunzhi from the Zhang family," Fang Xiaocao said with a smile, "He's only sixteen or seventeen, and with his looks and demeanor, the idols selected on the big screens of later generations are no match for him." But it's a pity, I heard from that little guy Junzhi that his second brother had an oral marriage when he was a child, and maybe in the next two years, he will have to pay six ceremonies."

Lin Jiale was speechless for a while, Fang Xiaocao glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Unless you still miss the eldest daughter in this life, you don't want to have a relationship. Otherwise, let's really start looking for it from now on."

Just like that, she was still worried that Junzhi already had some kind of verbal marriage.

People nowadays are very committed to promises, especially those with a strong background like the Zhang family. If someone speaks before them and the Zhang family promises, basically nothing will happen to them.

Lin Jiale thought for a while, and the pig's trotters were all under the pot, before he said: "I can only go to the countryside to do as the Romans do, but Zhang's family is in Fucheng, and Master Zhang is an official in the capital, I'm afraid they will throw us out if we say so. "

Even if he thinks his daughter is [-] good, Lin Jiale knows that because he is not working hard enough as a father, his daughter does not have enough bargaining chips in the marriage and love market.

If he thought of this before, he would have to study even if he was crying.

Fang Xiaocao said: "If you look at the children of the Zhang family, you should know that their family is a family that values ​​character. They should not chase people away."

Lin Jiale said: "I'm going to study now, is it too late?"

"Forget it," Fang Xiaocao said amusedly, after a pause, "And I think the court is not stable, let's just be ordinary people honestly. If the Zhang family disagrees, at worst, let's raise a child for our daughter." Tong Yangfu."

In this world, child brides-in-law generally do not have good results, let alone child husbands. No matter how good their own family is, the whole society will have a prejudice against child husbands, and people who grow up under prejudice will not grow up crooked. almost none.

"Don't I still have so many friends? When I go to a friend's house in the future, I will pay more attention." Lin Jiale said with a smile, "Let's cast the net widely. I don't believe that before my daughter grows up, she won't be able to find them." It fits in every way.”

Fang Xiaocao nodded, and reminded in a low voice: "It's just what we said, don't let my daughter know. I think she looks at all the kids of her age with the mentality of looking at little kids."

If you tell her to find her a boy friend first, just wait and see, when she grows up, she will have to treat him like a child.But if you don't mention it, they didn't grow up together. This time they met as a doll, and the next time they met as a beautiful boy, it was easier for her to change psychologically.

The husband and wife were in the kitchen watching and talking about major events in Lin Chunnong's life, and she sneezed twice in succession outside.

Zhang Junzhi stretched out his small hand, touched Lin Chunnong's hand, and asked, "Sister Nong, are you catching cold from wearing less clothes?"

"No, someone must be talking about me." Lin Chunnong said, "Continue what you just said."

Next to him, Zhang Kezhi took a snack for a while, and watched the two children talk quite well.

Zhang Junzhi said: "We went to the Lin's house in the county yesterday, why did you take away the bronze figure toy I gave to sister Yuan'er?"

"I didn't take it. Sister Yuan'er gave it to me." Lin Chunnong said, "And my parents taught me not to take other people's things casually."

Zhang Junzhi smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't take other people's things casually. Sister Yuan'er even said that you like to ask her for it."

Zhang Kezhi: Cough cough cough!
Doesn't my younger brother's words spread maggots between the two sisters?

When you go back, you have to talk about him well, not everything can be passed on to others.

Fortunately, the two who are talking now are children. Zhang Kezhi saw the little girl smiled, and probably didn't understand what her elder sister Yuan'er said would have a bad influence on her.

Just as Zhang Kezhi was thinking about it, he met the little girl's big eyes again. He smiled and softened his voice, and asked, "What's the matter, Xiao Nong?"

"Why didn't Second Brother Chun come?"

Zhang Kezhi didn't expect the little girl's memory to be so good. She and the second brother had met that side after all their efforts. During this period, the younger brother wrote to her, but the second brother didn't hear from her.

"Your second brother Chun is going to an old relative's house for a walk," Zhang Kezhi said with a smile, "I'll tell him when I get back, let him bring Xiao Nong a present."

Lin Chunnong shook her head, she was just asking.

Zhang Kezhi sat with the two children for a while, got up and went to help in the kitchen, and then came out soon again, with a trace of suspicious gray stains on his left cheek.

I have never been in the kitchen at home, and I don't know how to cook, but I am very knowledgeable.

Lin Qiumo glanced at the kitchen and saw that the little girl was having a good time with the little boy from the Zhang family, so she got up and went to the kitchen.

"At the end of autumn, why did you come in?" Lin Jiale has already added his own secret homemade miso to the pot, and then it will be enough to fry two small dishes, without the help of children.

Lin Qiumo said: "You don't need to watch over there, I'll light the fire."

Lin Jiale thought that the child might not know the Zhang family brothers and felt uncomfortable outside, so he smiled and said: "Okay, then help uncle watch the fire for a while."

Knowing that Lin Qiumo had endured a lot at such a young age, both Lin Jiale and his wife felt more pity for him.

It was lunch time, and Lin Chunxing just came out of the laboratory. He was still a little puzzled when he saw the stranger, but when he saw Zhang Junzhi, he guessed who the young man was.

After seeing each other, everyone sat down together.

The meat dishes on the table are basically pork, braised pig's trotters in sauce, Dongpo pork, pickled pork with pickled vegetables, and the soup is a pot of savory and delicious mutton soup, with a basket of crispy snacks made by Lin Jiale on the side. biscuits.

The sesame seeds on the biscuits are distinct and golden, which looks very appetizing.

Zhang Kezhi finally understood why the second younger brother praised the food of the Lin family after returning home last time. Even the pig's trotters can be made so beautifully, not to mention other ingredients.

But one thing is true, the food of the Lin family is relatively biased.

Zhang Kezhi didn't dare to eat pig's trotters at first, but seeing his younger brother imitating the appearance of the little girl from the Lin family, grabbing one and chewing it deliciously, he also wanted to try it.

At the same time, he coughed lightly, reminding the younger brother to pay attention to his manners.

Lin Jiale smiled and said: "Kezhi, try this, I am the best."

What he pointed at was the big plate of pig's trotters, shiny with red palm oil.

Zhang Kezhi smiled, picked up his chopsticks, and added a spoonful of sweet and sour sauce from the seasoning plate next to him.

"Don't you eat garlic?"

asked the little girl.

Hearing the words, Zhang Kezhi looked at the little girl, smiled, and said truthfully, "Lan is too aggressive, and I'm worried that I will be rude."

Lin Chunnong got up, went into the room, took out a box of candy, and put it on the table, "This is mint candy, just eat two pieces of candy."

If it weren't for her not to ask, the dishes my dad cooks today are all big meat, even if the taste is not greasy, but if you eat too much, you will still feel greasy.

After a meal, Zhang Kezhi gained a new understanding of this family. He said that he didn't talk about etiquette, but he could make the guests feel comfortable. When it comes to etiquette, he was not rigid.

----

There are not many people in the Zhang family in Yixian County. The owners of the Zhang family do not come here often on weekdays. There are only a few old servants who look after the house. Even though the vegetation is growing well and the ground is often cleaned, it still feels deserted.

Zhang Kezhi got out of the car and saw his second brother taking a food box from a servant, turned around and hurried towards the gate.

"Brother, are you back so early?" Approaching, Zhang Chunzhi greeted with a smile, "Junzhi, did your little friend prepare anything delicious for you?"

"Second brother, it's a pity that you don't go today. Nongnong's father cooked us pork trotters in sauce, which was very delicious." Zhang Junzhi led his elder brother by the sleeve and crossed the threshold, "Eldest brother ate four or five of them."

Zhang Kezhi: I can't have this younger brother.

Zhang Chunzhi looked at his elder brother, it was difficult to connect the pig's trotters with his elder brother who looked like a sesame orchid and jade tree, but the food that elder brothers like to eat must be delicious.

"Then I'll let our cook do it when I come back." After saying that, he walked briskly out the door.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Kezhi asked.

With a smile on his face, Zhang Chunzhi waved his hand, and handed the food box to the attendant who was leading the horse. After getting on the horse, he took the food box and left in a smooth manner.
