Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 117 Relatives
The sugar water eggs made by Mrs. Ding are really good.

Take a bite, tender and raw, with the sweetness of sugar water, lingering in the mouth.

She remembered that when she was sick when she was a child, Lu's mother in the orphanage would make her two sugar water eggs with a small spoonful of sugar.

This is a special delicacy that all orphanage children can enjoy only when they are sick.

Lu Yange didn't expect that just two sugar-watered eggs made her eat the taste that she had been thinking about in the orphanage back then.

Aunt Ding accompanied Lu Xiaosi to eat sugar-watered eggs, and by the way, talked about the big and small things that happened in the family recently.

"Your third sister-in-law is pregnant, and your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law do most of the housework. But, after autumn, when your fourth brother comes back, I'll marry you another sister-in-law."

"The daughter-in-law your fourth brother is talking about is from Dayang Village. There are four brothers in the family, just such an old girl. I heard that needlework girls are good, and she is good at cooking. Last time your father said that he wanted to buy a cow, but This adult cow is not easy to buy. Let alone a big cow, if there is a small cow, it would have been ordered by others. Fortunately, your fourth sister-in-law has a cow, and her cow just gave birth to a calf. Your uncle I have already made an agreement with my in-laws that after two months of raising his calf, I will bring it to your family, and then your family will be able to use it after raising it for another year or so. It is better than a big cow, and it does not cost money .”

"Your uncle also showed your family a big green mule. It's still young. It's just over two years old. The teeth are just right. Your uncle also said today that he will take your father to have a look after lunch. If he is satisfied I bought it back and it just happened to be used.”

"Your second brother and third brother should be home tomorrow. This time, you can rest for at least half a month when you come back. When the time comes, I will let you go to your house to help collect food..."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaosi interrupted: "That's impossible, my father has already made an agreement with Zhang Sanbo and the others. When the time comes, their family will collect grain for my family first, and they will calculate the money according to the number of acres. Seven families, two Ten or so people are hard workers, so it will be quick to put them away. My second and third brothers have not come back for half a year after running the boat this time, how tired they are, let them rest at home slowly."

"Why are you tired?" Aunt Ding waved her hand nonchalantly, "Just tell your father when you go back, their brothers are all like their father and have a lot of strength. When the time comes, don't be polite to their brothers. Do whatever you want, just like a child at home."

Lu Yange couldn't help laughing: "That's fine, I'll tell my father to prepare a few more sickles. When the new food comes out, I will also send some new food to the aunt to try."

"Okay, I'll just wait to try your family's new food." Aunt Ding was not polite, "Don't prepare sickles or anything, our family has them all. Your uncle also had land in the country, and it was also when the children were young, The stalls in the town couldn’t get away from people, so the few acres of land in the countryside were planted by his brothers, and they gave our family some rations every year.”

While talking, there was a creaking sound, and the half-closed door was pushed open.

A man who was somewhat similar to Uncle Ding was carrying a torn sack and led a tall, thin woman who was holding a five or six-year-old boy in her hand. The three entered the door swaggeringly.

Sitting in the main room, Mrs. Ding saw someone coming, and her face, which was as friendly as dough, immediately changed color.

Immediately, Second Aunt Ding's voice sounded in the courtyard: "Third Uncle, why are you here?"

Why are you rushing to eat every time?

"Come and see your father." Uncle Ding smiled and handed the sack in his hand to Aunt Ding, "These are some wild beans picked by your third aunt. Your father likes to eat them. I brought some for your father."

"Third uncle, did you remember wrongly? My father hasn't eaten these wild beans for many years. My father said that he didn't eat them when he was a child, and he hurt himself from eating wild beans. Now when he smells these wild beans, he feels a little Beany smell."

"Well, then I remember wrong." Uncle Ding didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile, "I remember your father loved eating it when I was young, but I forgot that now that your family's life is better, who cares about this wild meat if you have meat?" beans."

"Look at what Uncle San said, don't look at my family killing pigs and selling meat, but the meat is not eaten whenever you want. The whole family lives, and they all rely on dad's meat business to support the family."

Second Sister Ding was also a tricky person. While talking, she took the sack and dumped it on the open space in the yard.

A pile of wild beans of various colors fell out of the sack with shells and leaves, some shells had been fried and fell to the ground in round balls, and some shells were still green.

I saw that these wild beans were picked up by the side of the road on the way when I came here.

Although it looks like there is only half a bag in the sack, but if you really want to dry the beans and beat them out, it is probably more than half a bowl.

Ding Ersao didn't speak, just looked at the wild beans in front of her with a half-smile, and stretched out her feet to grind them carelessly.

Seeing Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding's face turn red and turn white.

But they are thick-skinned after all, even so, Aunt Ding still asked cheekily: "Second daughter-in-law, we have something to look for your mother, is your mother not at home? Just now we had the big brother's meat case, and the big brother said that the sister-in-law came home gone."

At this time, Aunt Ding slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks and stood up, walked to the door of the main room and said loudly: "The third brother and the third younger sister are here, please sit in the room."

"No, no."

Uncle Ding smiled and rubbed his hands, "It turns out that sister-in-law is at home, it's good to be at home, it's good to be at home."

Aunt Ding took a few steps out of the house and walked into the yard: "I just got home too, no, you're here soon, it's about the front and rear."

"Sister-in-law."

Before Aunt Ding approached, Aunt Ding took two steps forward and grabbed Aunt Ding's hand, called her sister-in-law affectionately, and began to complain: "It's better for my sister-in-law to live in the town, unlike us, I wanted to come to the town, but I went out early in the morning, and I didn't even have time to take a bite of breakfast, so I didn't arrive until now."

Didn't eat breakfast!
Hearing this, Aunt Ding smiled and said "Oh" casually, as if she didn't understand what Aunt Ding said at all.

Seeing Mrs. Ding's reluctance to eat, Third Aunt Ding couldn't help but feel a little angry.

She knew that the sister-in-law's meal was later than other people's, but she heard that they didn't have breakfast, and the sister-in-law didn't say that they came to make a fuss about cooking the big meat, and she didn't say that they would cook and give them two pancakes first.

Her sister-in-law is really getting picky.

What lo mei his family has made now, I must mention a few words in front of my elder brother when I look back. It would be better to cut some and take it home.

Aunt Ding, who was dragged by Mrs. Ding to sit down on a low stool in the yard, still held Mrs. Ding's hand.

"The autumn harvest is coming soon. The sickle at home is dilapidated. My father Baozhu and I came to the town to have a look and order a sickle. It's just... that's right, who knew that the sickle is so expensive, and we don't have enough money with us. , I just wanted to ask my eldest brother and sister-in-law to borrow some, and I will pay it back next time.”

Aunt Ding listened with a smile, but did not answer the conversation, listening to Aunt Ding keep talking.

Third Aunt Ding paused for a moment, then continued: "I didn't know that my sister-in-law was home until I went to the elder brother's meat case. If not, I will find her home."
