Xianggong farming

Chapter 100 Building a house 2
How could Qi Sanlang have heard that Qi Liushi went out with tools in his hands, and seeing that Qi Liushi stopped nagging and dared to chase her out to embarrass her, so he turned around and yelled at her: "Go back!"

Seeing that Qi Sanlang could not be called and was scolded by him, Qi Liu was very annoyed.Throwing down her job and hugging her son, she went to Qili's room and cried, "Mother, is Saburo stupid? No one asked him to help, but he was quietly picking up stones two days ago. I thought someone was going to build a wall. If I ran over to help like this, I wouldn’t even be paid.”

When Qi Li heard this, he was also angry: "I told you this dead thing a few days ago, don't join in the fun if you have nothing to do. He treats that house as his brother, but why didn't he take him with him to earn money? I heard These two hunts earned a lot of silver."

When Qi Liu heard this, he became even more excited: "Yes, yesterday we hunted so many wild animals, and the family gave half of them. It's really stingy."

Erqin felt uncomfortably listening in the house: "Sister-in-law San, elder brother just bought a few things and came back. He wants to keep it for someone to hire. It's not bad if each family can give half. Besides, father and third brother are not themselves. Do you know how to hunt? If you want to eat game, go to the mountains for a long time. There are too many of them, and you can always catch one or two."

When Qi Li heard this, she scolded her: "Are you born by me, or picked up? Why do you just help them talk? Don't think that he thinks highly of you by giving you three hundred dollars a month. The baby's clothes wear you out, too."

Qi Erqin curled her lips: "Mother and sister-in-law care about this and that all day long, so what? Is it to make me happy, or to earn money? Huzi and Ling'er didn't actually eat our food. The eldest brother not only gave food I also gave oil, salt and silver, so I can be exhausted after washing two clothes?"

Qi Liushi was a little unconvinced and said: "Of course Erqin will speak for them. You saved the three hundred big money as a dowry. Now it's not less than five taels of silver, right? Now the child is not yours, this money But it’s gone, why are you so happy?”

Qi Erqin really didn't like this third sister-in-law, she rolled her eyes when she heard it: "Why did father decide to divide the family? Is it because you can't bear to see your sister-in-law bullying? The sister-in-law looks delicate and weak like a young lady, But she is really capable, no worse than you. My money is gone, is it because of the trouble between the two of you? Forget it, I am too lazy to tell you, my mother will scold me for being heartless again, I will go out gone."

Qi Liu looked at the back of Qi Erqin going out and said to Qi Li: "Mother, Erqin is broken."

Mrs. Qi Li scolded fiercely: "A dead girl with no eyelids, she was sold for a mere five taels of silver. Now even my mother dares to stand up to her. See if I don't deal with her."

Not to mention that Qi Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are gossiping, Ji Xinmiao has no time to deal with these two people. It's not busy farming here, and many people don't eat breakfast.But what I do at home is physical work, so I have to feed people better.So when Li Deng's wife, Li Jinshi, came, Ji Xinmiao asked her, "Sister-in-law, is there no place that sells meat in this village?"

Mrs. Li Jin shook her head: "There are only about fifty families in our village, and there are a lot of outsiders. There is no kitchen in this village. If you want to buy meat, you have to go to the entrance of Xiaping Village. They have an anvil of meat every day." of."

Ji Xinmiao took out two hundred dollars and said, "Sister-in-law, can you help me buy some meat?"

Seeing that she took so much money, Li Jinshi immediately said: "Where do you spend so much money? Fat meat is thirteen to fourteen cents a catty, and the most expensive lean meat is only twelve cents a catty. One hundred coins is enough." .”

Ji Xinmiao waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, I'm afraid I can't do it for a day or two, but it's still a little hot today, so I can't afford to buy too much, but it's okay for today and tomorrow. Can you use the money? Help me buy ten catties of fat meat, buy a pig offal, how much money will I have to buy pig bones for me in the end?"

Li Jinshi saw that she was going to buy pigs, although she didn't know what she was going to do, only the very poor in the village would buy them if they couldn't get a taste of fish.Considering that they have just separated and have to renovate the house, they may not be rich.So she still said: "Let's do this. Ten big bucks for a pair of pigs is enough, and the pig bones are four or five coppers a catty. Then I'll buy five catties. If there are too many, I can't finish it. I will eat the rest." I'll buy you fat meat."

Ji Xinmiao nodded again and again: "Well, my sister-in-law has made a plan. I'll find Aunt Fan for some rice noodles later, and when my sister-in-law buys meat, I'll cook some snacks for everyone."

Li Jinshi immediately said: "Okay, cook rice noodles and go to my vegetable field and pick some big green vegetables. I will let Huzi go and ask Guoer to take you to pick them. I will leave now, and I can finish it in half an hour." return."

You can come back in half an hour, which means that Li Jinshi's footsteps are very fast, Ji Xinmiao hurriedly confessed: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's still early, cooking rice noodles is also fast, don't tire you out."

Li Jinshi smiled and said: "I see, this meat anvil is in the village of Xiaping Village, and it will take less than a quarter of an hour for me to go quickly."

Qi Hongshi and Qi Erqin came to help after doing the work in hand, Ji Xinmiao felt a little grateful in his heart, Qi Hongshi has been walking this way since he was in contact with him.But sister-in-law Erqin was different, she was born of Qi Li Shi, and Qi Li Shi didn't stick out her head when she heard her sound, which showed that she didn't care about her family.

But Erqin came over by himself, Ji Xinmiao became more and more fond of this little girl, and said to Erqin who was helping her wash the vegetables: "Erqin, you come to help me, will mother say you?"

Erqin didn't even raise the head of the piano: "Sister-in-law, what do you care about mother so much? Mother is a little narrow-minded, and she is not a bad person. It is the third sister-in-law who babbles in front of her every day, which makes her so difficult to speak. Don't worry about it." Ah, if mother wants to talk, let her talk, anyway, daddy also went to the river to help, so it's useless for her to say anything."

Ji Xinmiao smiled: "Are you not afraid that she will hit you?"

Qi Erqin finally raised her head and said: "Sister-in-law, mother won't beat me, at worst, I have no conscience. Anyway, scolding won't hurt, if she wants to scold, let her scold."

Ji Xinmiao sincerely praised: "Erqin is so sensible at such a young age, sister-in-law must learn from you."

"Sister-in-law, don't praise me. I really want to learn from you. You know so much. You can make persimmons and draw pictures, but I can only sew clothes."

The two sisters-in-law chatted happily, but the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were having bad ideas. When Li Jinshi entered the courtyard with pork, Qi Liushi who was standing at the gate stopped her: "Sister-in-law Li, you are really hardworking!" Ah. What did you pick? Oh, it’s pork? Today, my mother has a toothache and needs some steamed pork root. You are in a hurry. Mother, don’t worry, my sister-in-law bought a lot of meat back Sister-in-law of the Li family, put down the meat and let my mother pick a piece."

Li Jinshi frowned upon hearing this.
