Courtyard: Complain first at the beginning

Chapter 47 Signing in
Zhao Xiaotang watched Xu Damao leave, closed the door, and went back to continue eating noodles.
You can't hide from other people's eyes in the courtyard, especially if you live in the front yard. The third uncle's family is like a radar guarding the yard.

Yan Bugui saw Xu Damao from the first time he came out. He had just watched half of the excitement, and had just returned home to talk to his wife about today's events.

From the window, he saw Xu Damao in the front yard of the runway and went directly to Zhao Xiaotang's house. He lay on the window and stared.
"Hey, Xu Damao brought something for her! I don't know what it is."

The third aunt took a sip of the soup from the bowl, lay behind the window and looked at the person opposite and said,

"Who cares? It's almost dark today, so it's really outrageous. The two of us should keep an eye on it, just in case these two make a mistake."

Yanbu said angrily, but that was not what he thought in his heart.
"If you make a mistake, make a mistake. It's none of our business. You see, it's definitely a gift. Everyone has left. No, why is Zhao Xiaotang still standing at the door?"

The third aunt said analytically while drinking the soup. His three sons all rolled their eyes and each drank the soup from their bowls. They didn't even care what the parents were talking about?
"Ah! That brat Xu Damao is back again. No wonder he is waiting at the door. This is the second time. No! The two of them exchanged. Xu Damao took a black thing. I don't know what it is. Zhao Xiaotang gave him a basket, okay! You didn’t see Xu Damao’s beauty, and you didn’t know what a good thing he got, and his smile was so toothless.”

Yan Bugui had already sat back on the stool, picked up his bowl of almost cold soup and drank it, but his ears were perked up.

The third aunt was like a football commentator watching a football game while explaining everything that happened on the opposite side. It was not until Zhao Xiaotang closed the door that she returned to her seat with half a bowl of soup left.
"Maybe those two people were just exchanging things. The black stuff is probably bacon! Yesterday I saw the straw wrapped in his car. I only saw it when it wasn't wrapped tightly. Then Zhao Xiaotang What is it?"

"I don't know. I saw Xu Damao running back with a basket. It must be a good thing to exchange for bacon. It would be nice to cut a big piece for me. We haven't eaten meat this season. Why don't we buy some tomorrow? Everyone makes up for it.”

When it comes to meat, everyone on the table swallows involuntarily, or takes a sip of soup to soothe their stomachs.

"New Year's Day is coming soon. Really, you've been married for decades and you still don't know how to live?

Why don't we go buy some meat during the Chinese New Year and let's make dumplings and eat them all at once?

If you eat meat now, what will you eat during the Chinese New Year? When the time comes, people all over the yard are eating meat, and you can still watch. "

Yan Bugui also wanted to eat meat, but the whole family relied on his salary. How could they feed the next few if they didn't plan carefully?

But as the head of the family, how can he say that he is incompetent, so he can only scold his wife for not being able to live a good life?

The eldest of the three sons knew the result without even raising his eyelids. The other two sons, the second and third, heard what their mother said and thought they would really taste meat tomorrow, but they were mercilessly slapped by their father. Gone,
Immediately they felt discouraged, and they realized that their father would never agree to eat meat tomorrow even to death.
"I just smelled a sour and sour smell at Zhao Xiaotang's place. I don't know what I'm eating, but it smells so good!"

The third child, Yan Jiekuang, recalled the smell he had just smelled and said with some envy,
"That's stir-frying sauerkraut. The sauerkraut tastes exactly like that when it is stir-fried."

The third aunt didn't take it seriously when her man said something to her. Who told her to say the wrong thing? However, she was still a little unhappy when a man said such a thing to her child at such an old age. When she heard her youngest son's envious tone, she felt a little sour in her heart.

When winter came, she also wanted to soak some sauerkraut, but her husband refused because he said it was a waste of firewood. If she had known better, she would have made some, and her son would not be so greedy.
"Mom will cook it for you next year. Make a whole tank, and I'll make sure there's enough for you."

The third aunt said with assurance. The eldest son looked up at her and said nothing. The second son said:

"You can do it! You said the same thing the year before last. Last year, we actually got some sauerkraut, but we only got two sauerkraut, which was not enough for a pot. That pot of sauerkraut lasted us all winter." "Sister Xiaotang said. Yes, her sauerkraut doesn’t need boiling water. She learned it from her classmates. Their classmates are from Sichuan Province and sauerkraut doesn’t need boiling water at all.”

The third son suddenly said, and everyone else looked over,

"it is true!"

The third son felt a little embarrassed when he saw it. He scratched his head and thought about it, then said with an affirmative look on his face,

"Then you go ask Xiaotang tomorrow what she does. We are all neighbors. She won't help with this small favor. At worst, you can teach her how to post cakes."

Yan Bugui put down the bowl and said. Before the third aunt could speak, the third son spoke again:

"Dad, what good things do you want to do? The pancakes made by Sister Xiaotang are so delicious. You forgot what she ate the day before yesterday, and you asked my mother to teach you. You don't know who the teacher is?"

The eldest son was speechless and turned his head to ignore him, as did the second son.

"Snapped!"

The third aunt slapped her youngest son on the back of the head and said angrily,

"I've rebelled against you. How dare you bury me? You're not a family member. I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. If you put too much oil in something, it won't taste good."

People only have one mouth, but you don’t know how many mouths our family has.
I really want to make pancakes like that. As long as you only eat one meal a month, I will definitely put enough oil in it for you. "

"Ouch! Mom, please be gentle, you will beat people silly. That's what I said. Can't you think about it?"

The third son covered the back of his head and said aggrievedly,

Yan Bugui didn't care about the strength of their mother and son. He was thinking whether to follow Zhao Xiaotang's example and make a jar of sauerkraut. There wasn't much cabbage stored at home.
When the market opens the day after tomorrow, you have to go early and bring the boss with you. The extra person will give you an extra helper and you can grab two more cabbages.

Zhao Xiaotang now puts all sign-ins in the evening, because if there are new skills, they can only be received at night, and other times are not suitable.
So it is better to arrange to sign in at night, and avoid signing in for good things during the day, and it will be really uncomfortable if you can’t use them immediately.
"Are you sure to sign in?"

"determine."

After eating, Zhao Xiaotang washed up and cleaned up, then lay down on the bed and prepared to sign in.
