Siheyuan starts with killing pigs

Chapter 220 The aggrieved little tail
When Wang Hu returned to his house, he lay on his bed and closed his eyes to rest. Although it was an adobe house, it was built considering the large number of people in the family, so the area inside was not small.

There were also two adobe beds built with adobe in the house. The three Wang Hu siblings slept on one, and their parents slept on the other.

Don’t even think about the bottom of the kang. It’s not easy to just put a layer of corn straw on top and then add a layer of wheat straw.

As for the cover, it was a tattered quilt, with some stiff and black cotton batting sparsely stuffed inside, and some loopholes were stuffed with straw and catkins to keep out the cold.

Because the quilts are thin, the three Wang Hu siblings usually sleep in their clothes. Wang Youfu was not at home tonight, and Wang Hu and Hu Lamei slept together. After a busy day, they simply tidied up and lay down on the bed to go to sleep. .

As for a flashlight, we don’t have one at home. The most valuable thing at home is an old oil lamp with a glass shade. It uses kerosene. Rural commune members are given half a kilogram of kerosene stamps to each household every month, and the production team leader collects it every month. Come back and distribute them door to door.

This lamp is in the house of Wang Hu's grandparents. Normally, they are reluctant to use it. Only in emergencies, they are willing to light it for a while, so everyone is basically in the dark at night.

"Mom! Here's something delicious for you!" At this moment, Little Tail saw that everyone had gone back to the house. He quietly ran to Hu Lamei's bed and stuffed an egg into Hu Lamei's bed.

"Eggs? Where did Little Tail's eggs come from? Tell me! Did you steal eggs from home!"

Hu Lamei took the thing handed over by Little Tail and saw that it was an egg with the help of the moonlight outside. She immediately lowered her voice. She gently pulled Little Tail's ears and asked him sternly angrily.

"Woo... Bad mother... These are the eggs my second brother gave me. I didn't want to eat them and gave them to you. You even pinched my ears... Wuwu..."

Although his ears didn't hurt, Little Tails was still young after all. When he saw his mother being so strict with him, he immediately started crying in aggrieved manner.

"Tiedan, is what little tail said true? Where did the eggs come from? Did they steal them from the henhouse? Brother, you can't learn from your dad..." After Hu Lamei heard what little tail said, she couldn't help but feel... Startled, he quickly turned to Wang Hu and asked.

"Mom! Look at what you said, am I the one who stole the eggs? After catching fish during the day, I went to the commune market and sold the fish. I bought the eggs with money. I came back and boiled the eggs. , Little Tail and I ate some, these eggs were left for you by Little Tail!" Wang Hu explained to Hu Lamei with a smile after hearing this.

"Little Tail, is what your second brother said true?" Hu Lamei was dubious after hearing this. She turned to Little Tail and asked.

"Woo... it's true. My second brother bought a lot of eggs and he gave me a few. I left them for my mother. There is another one here for my sister... Wuwu..." After hearing this, Little Tail immediately sobbed and took out the other egg.

"Good steel egg, it's Mom who wrongly blamed you. Mom is not good. Come and rub your ears!"

After hearing this, Hu Lamei believed it. Seeing the little tail crying so wronged, she felt very distressed. She hugged the little tail in her arms to comfort her, and the little tail cried even more when Hu Lamei hugged her. Sad.

When Wang Daya heard that Gang Dan had left an egg for herself, she was also very moved. She also leaned over and blew into the ear where the little tail had been twisted just now.

"Tiedan, what about the rest of the money you spent buying eggs? Come and give it to mom. Mom will keep it for you and use it when you grow up to marry a wife!" Hu Lamei comforted the little tail and turned to Wang Hu and asked.

"Mom, the fish I caught was small, only two or three kilograms, and all the money I sold was spent on eggs! If you don't believe me, search it!"

Wang Hu, who has lived for three generations, heard these familiar words, and his eyes jumped. He simply spread his hands and said very bachelorly.Wang Hu has a rubber body. Although he has no space, he can hide money in his body. This is stronger than any pocket. As long as he is not disemboweled, the money will not be lost.

"You prodigal son, you spent all your money on eggs? Why don't you know how to sell this big fish at home? This fish weighs at least seven or eight kilograms and can be sold for two or three yuan!" Hu Lamei was a little bit angry after hearing this. Steel said.

"Mom, isn't this little tail trying to eat fish? I'm not willing to sell it!"

After hearing this, Wang Hu immediately said something that was causing trouble, and when Little Tail was about to retort, Wang Hu immediately kicked him quietly, and Little Tail didn't dare to say anything anymore.

"What about the remaining eggs?" Hu Lamei continued to ask.

"Mom is here! Little Tail knows how to leave delicious food for you. Of course I have left some too. These five eggs are what I left for you and eldest sister. Together with Little Tail's two eggs, the total is seven. They are all It’s cooked, you eat it quickly!”

After hearing this, Wang Hu immediately smiled and took it out from his arms, and handed over five eggs in a cloth bag. Wang Hu also explained the cloth bag, saying that it was given by the person who bought the eggs.

"You have a conscience! It's not in vain for your sister and I, we always have good things for you two!" After hearing this, Hu Lamei felt sorry for the big fish she had for dinner, but she was still very happy to see her two sons being so filial.

"Mom, eldest sister, you can share the eggs and eat them. Little Tail and I have already eaten at noon!" Wang Hu urged the two of them again.

"Alas! How can you eat such a precious thing at once? Anyway, the eggs are cooked for easy storage, so I won't eat them. Da Ya can just eat one! We'll eat the rest later!"

After hearing this, Hu Lamei took an egg and handed it to Daya, and then carefully put the remaining eggs into the bag and put them away.

After hearing this, Wang Hu quickly persuaded her, saying that she had indeed found a way to catch fish, and that food and drink would be indispensable at home in the future. However, no matter how Wang Hu persuaded her, Hu Lamei was reluctant to eat.

She said that she had already eaten fish in the evening, and it would be a waste to eat eggs when she was about to go to bed. She said she would not eat anything.

After Wang Daya listened to her mother's words, she resisted the urge to eat eggs and put them away, preparing to eat them when she went to work tomorrow, so that she would not be so hungry while working.

When Wang Hu saw that his persuasion was fruitless, he had no choice but to give up. He simply gave up the persuasion and fell asleep. He slept until dawn, and Wang Youfu really didn't come back all night.

At this time, Grandma Wang Hu's voice was heard outside the house calling everyone to eat. After everyone in the old Wang family arrived, Lu Jinhua began to divide the food in the order of yesterday.

In fact, there is nothing to share. The adults each have a steamed bun and a bowl of stick noodles and sweet potato porridge. The children's steamed buns are halved. Those who don't work only have a bowl of porridge.

Although it was extremely simple food, everyone in Lao Wang's family ate it with gusto. On the contrary, Wang Hu was used to eating a lot of fish and meat in his previous life, so it was very painful to eat, but he still endured and finished the porridge, but Wo Wotou He didn't eat it, so he gave it to Little Tails.
