A guide to getting rich

Chapter 74 Who farms the land

At this time, Bai Dazhu shouted from the room: "Is the meal ready? I'm starving to death."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly went to the kitchen to take a look. There were cold pots and stoves in the kitchen, and there was no sign of food, so she went back to the main room and said to the old lady, "Mother, you have to take care of your sister-in-law. What's the matter?" It's time, why aren't you cooking?"

The old lady Bai said: "She has returned to her mother's house with pearls, you can make lunch."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately became unhappy: "Why did I do it again? I did it yesterday. It is said that it should be my sister-in-law's turn today. She would be lazy. If she wanted to leave, why didn't she leave yesterday?" ?”

The old lady Bai put all the money into her bosom, still with a smile on her face: "Let's go, just to save a few rations, you hurry to cook, didn't you hear your man cry hungry? Xiaofeng should come back later Remember to boil an egg for Xiaofeng."

Seeing the old lady remembering Xiaofeng all the time, Mrs. Liu finally felt better, "Okay, I'll cook now, but the eggs are gone. Our old hen hasn't laid eggs for several days."

She opened the gate and saw that there was no one in the yard, she said again: "Bai Zhi, that dead girl hasn't come back yet, I'm afraid there is no food to eat at noon."

Mrs. Liu looked at the bulging clothes on the old lady's chest, and suddenly said with a smile: "Mother, Li Si's family killed a pig yesterday and sent it to the town to sell today. There must be a lot left, why don't we cut it off?" Some meat to start the meal?"

If she said this normally, the old lady Bai would not agree to death, but today it is different, today Mrs. Liu brought back an income of ten taels of silver, and there are still 12 taels of silver waiting for her, she was overjoyed, Thinking that the family hadn't had meat for a long time, and Mrs. Zhang and Zhenzhu were not around, so with two catties of pork belly, the whole family would be able to eat enough.

Thinking of this, she turned around and entered the room, locked the ten taels of silver in her arms into the money box, took out a bunch of copper coins from the money box, counted them, and then took out the door and handed them to Mrs. Liu: "This is fifty coins. Take it and buy two catties of pork, if there is any left over, buy a few eggs, go."

Mrs. Liu was overjoyed, and hurriedly took the fifty Wen, and swallowed hard in her throat, as if the braised pork had been prepared and placed in front of her.

Bai Erzhu came in from the outside, just in time to see this scene, he was also grinning from ear to ear: "Mother, the sun didn't come out from the west today, right? Why are you willing to buy meat for us?"

The old lady Bai glanced at him, and said in a bad mood: "It's as if I haven't bought meat for you before." She looked Bai Erzhu up and down, and saw that his clothes were clean, no sweat stains or muddy water , The shoes under the feet are also clean, as if they have never been out.

The old lady Bai's complexion immediately sank, she was very displeased: "You didn't go to the field?"

Bai Erzhu took it for granted: "How can I go to the field alone? I don't even have a helper."

The old lady Bai was so angry that she wanted to beat him up, but she was her own son after all, so she was not willing to really beat him, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why can't you go to the field alone? What helper do you need? Zhao Lan didn't When she was injured, she went to the field alone, and she didn't see anyone helping her!"

Bai Erzhu raised his neck and said: "Zhao Lan is Zhao Lan, I am me, why do you always compare me with Zhao Lan, besides, I have to blame you for this matter, if you didn't hurt Zhao Lan, this I'm afraid she has already finished the work in the field, so do we need to worry about it?"
