Splendid Peasant Girl: The Reborn Husband Asks for a Hug

Chapter 35

Old Chen was right, the Chu family had never eaten mutton.

Mutton is generally only eaten by the rich and powerful, ordinary people can't afford it, and people like the Chu family seldom even eat pork, let alone mutton.

It's no wonder that the big guys are so excited as if they had been beaten.

In fact, old Chen is also greedy, she also wants to taste how fresh and delicious that sheep scorpion is, and then drink a bowl of hot mutton soup to warm her stomach and nourish her body.

Mutton soup is a great tonic.

Eating is good for your body.

She has been troubled and worried about the family, but she has worked very hard, so she deserves to eat something good and make up for it.

Well, the old man should make up for it too.

Then there is Dalang, who studies hard and should eat better.

As for the others, it would be nice to have steamed buns to fill their stomachs, and if they want to eat mutton, I don't want to see if they have that fate!
The old Mrs. Chen complained that Chu Pinggui should not spoil his children and grandchildren, "It would be good to cut off a leg and taste the mutton soup. Who has such a method of making it, and the future will not last? Such a big one Sheep can be exchanged for a lot of silver..."

Chu Pinggui interrupted her angrily, "That's for Zhaodi and Ning girl to make up for the third child! You don't even ask her if she agrees if you want to exchange money."

Old Chen choked, and then said angrily, "Is that useless thing worthy of meat?!"

Chu Pinggui said, "If it weren't for the third child, that wolf would still be stalking in the kitchen, so you just wait and starve."

He warned old Chen to keep his mouth shut, so that Chu Ning would not hate them even more, "...be safe in the future, and don't let her take advantage of it, otherwise no one will know what she can do."

Hearing what he said, Old Chen felt angry, hated and useless, "I don't believe I can't deal with her."

She leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Do you think the witch can't hold her down, why don't you invite a Taoist priest?"

"Do you have silver?"

"... Dalang has it, so let's borrow it and use it first."

Chu Pinggui glanced at her, "Don't mess around, wait until I have a good talk with the third child."

After a moment of silence, he continued, "Thinking about it, that girl didn't take the initiative to make trouble..."

Old Chen stared and was about to speak, but he stopped him with an irritable wave of his hand, "Don't talk, I know what I know, just listen to me."

"I've lived my whole life, but let a junior ride on my head to do my best. I can't live through this day."

Chu Pinggui ignored old Chen's nagging, and only lowered his eyes to think about things secretly.

"Erlang! Erlang! Come here!"

The Chu family killed a sheep once in a century, but it made the big guys very excited, and they didn't care about the cold weather at the moment, so they all ran to the yard to watch the excitement, especially the little ones, all of them were happier than New Year's Eve .

Even Chu Dalang was among them.

Of course, he wouldn't do this kind of rough work. He came here not only to watch the slaughter of sheep, but also to supervise Chu Shouyi's skinning of sheep.

He wanted to use sheepskin to make a pair of boots for Mr. Fang.

As his old man, Chu Shouren also had his eye on the whole sheepskin, but what he wanted was to make boots for himself.

That's why he was very caring, and directed with his hands in his hands and his neck shrunk, like this, that, and that, as if he knew better than anyone else.

Except for the pair of fathers with long mouths but no long hands, everyone in the yard was jumping up and down excitedly. Even the youngest Chu Liulang was not idle, handing knives and serving pots for a while, so busy Very happy.

Not to mention Chu Erlang, they are all married people, but they are more excited than the younger ones, jumping more happily than anyone else.

After being yelled several times by Mrs. Chen, he replied without looking back, "What are you shouting for? Don't you see that I am busy?"

Old Chen was a little angry, but she didn't lose her temper. She just said loudly, "Go to Dongzhai Village and call your second aunt."

If it weren't for the fact that the eldest daughter was far away in the town, and it was too late at night, she would have wanted to call the entire family of the eldest daughter.

But it’s okay if it’s too late tonight, anyway, it’s cold and there’s plenty of room for food, so leave a portion for them, and it’s the same when they call people over tomorrow.

The old Mrs. Chen made a good plan. It was rare to eat mutton. Of course, the two daughters could not be left behind, but the brothers Chu Shouren, Chu Shouyi, Chu Shouzhi, and Chu Shouxin quit. "There is not enough food for our family. Well, mother still thinks about outsiders..."

"Who is the outsider?"

Old Chen said angrily, "Who do you say is an outsider? Yunxia is your own sister, why is she an outsider? Her surname is also Chu!"

"Come on! The girl who got married, the water that was thrown out, she is now the Qiu family."

Being ruthlessly beaten back by the eldest son, old Chen was furious and annoyed, but he had no choice but to vent his anger on Chu Erlang, "It doesn't work anymore when grandma talks? Why don't you go!"

Chu Erlang said without raising his head, "I'm not free, grandma should find someone else."

The old Chen was so angry that he scolded others, what a white-eyed wolf, what an unfilial son, scolded very hard, which made Chu Shouyi and Yang very dissatisfied, and Wu also gave her several glances quietly, but Chu Wanqiu felt quite relieved , she has long since waited to see this selfish brother.

Chu Shouyi choked old Chen and stomped her feet in anger. In the end, it was Chu Pinggui who came forward to stop the farce.

After watching the excitement, Chu Ning was in a good mood, and personally roasted the entire hind leg on the fire without sprinkling any seasoning, and sent it to Red Wolf half-baked.

Then filled the rice porridge to feed Xiao Huihui, and then waited leisurely to drink the mutton soup.

Mutton eats fire and needs to be boiled for an hour to soften, but everyone in the Chu family is so hungry that their eyes glow green, so there is no need to wait. Chu Pinggui said that he should drink soup first tonight, and use the delicious mutton soup to soak pancakes to satisfy his hunger , Save the mutton for tomorrow.

Chu Shouxin immediately refused, "That's impossible! Put the mutton in the pot, what if someone steals it at night?"

Others were also clamoring to eat meat, so Chu Pinggui could only let them go, "Then just wait."

But in the end they didn't hold back, and started to eat the meat as soon as it was cooked. Each person ate a bowl of soup and two pieces of meat first, and the pot continued to be chaotic.

In the middle of the night, I was starving again, and I was in a hurry, so I didn't care about the rules and regulations, so I didn't serve food in the upper room, and each of them held a bowl and looked for it in the kitchen. A place to squat and eat.

Fortunately, the kitchen was built big enough, otherwise there would be no place to squeeze.

"Huh~, it's so hot, so hot."

"This mutton soup is really good. Once you swallow it, your stomach will be warmed immediately."

After Chu Shouren sighed, he buried his head in his mouth and began to drink. The others were eating too happily and had no time to talk. Suddenly, the whole kitchen was filled with the sound of sucking.

Everyone ate with smiles on their faces.

Even Chu Pinggui, who was in a heavy heart, temporarily put those troubles behind him.

The whole family just guarded the fire and the steaming cauldron, having a delicious meal.

In the end it was all over.

Even Qin Shi, who has always been cautious, was full.

At first, Mrs. Chen still wanted to be in charge of the spoon and control the amount of each person. The children and grandchildren bought more meat, and the daughter-in-law and granddaughter bought more soup, especially the three-bedroom mother and daughter. It would be nice to be able to give a bowl of soup. No.

It's just that she forgot how the pot of mutton came from, but Chu Pinggui didn't, so she didn't get what she wanted.

As for the old Chen who soon became confused, he didn't care about it, so Qin's mother and daughter had a rare comforting meal.

No one finds fault, no one suppresses, and being able to finish a meal in peace is a comfortable meal.

After making a fuss in the middle of the night, everyone wiped their mouths after eating and drinking, and went back to each house contentedly, ready to see Duke Zhou, but Chu Shouli was left behind by Chu Pinggui.

Chu Ning ignored him, hugged Xiao Huihui and went to sleep.
