Nongwomen's Spring

Chapter 42 Pounding

When Liu Dazhu heard Zhang Qian said that he was going to cook, his eyes lit up, the saliva in his throat gulped down, and he said with a smile, "Sister, it's a deal, you must cook for us tonight Yes, otherwise, I would be the first to refuse."

The three families are getting closer, and everyone in the three families knows that Zhang Qian is a good cook, and all the dishes cooked by her hands, even ordinary dishes, are very delicious.

For this matter, Liu Dazhu and Liu Dalang complained to their own mother-in-law, but in the end, they were treated differently by their own mother-in-law, either kneeling on the washboard, or cooking and serving them with a lot of salt every day .

Seeing the slanderous look on Liu Dazhu's face, Zhang Qian pursed her lips and smiled, and said happily, "Okay, I will make a big table of dishes for Brother Dazhu to eat to your heart's content."

I don't know if it's because of the temptation of this delicious food. When moving the ducks next, Liu Dazhu was so fast that he moved two carts of ducks back to the backyard in a quarter of an hour.

As soon as the door of Liu Jun's house was closed, a human head emerged from under a willow tree diagonally opposite the door. He stared desperately at Liu Jun's house door, spat in the direction of the door, and then walked away with heavy steps.

Old Liu's house, Liu Erlang who just came back suddenly felt something flying towards his face.

"Who doesn't have eyes, actually hit the shoe on my head, come out!" Liu Erlang touched the top of his head, looked down, saw a shoe dropped by his feet, and immediately filled with anger.

People of the older generation said that if you get hit by a shoe, you will never have to tell your fortune for the rest of your life, and you will be unlucky for the rest of your life.

Thinking that I was about to take off my pants after losing these few days, I wanted to go home to see if I could change my luck, but I didn't expect to be hit by a shoe as soon as I entered the house. Have you lost your gambling all your life?
As soon as his cursing words fell, a word that was more poisonous than what he said just now came from the big house, "You suffer from the plague, did you go to block it again? Why didn't you die there? Come back?" Mrs. Liu Huang stood at the door of the big house, with her hands on her waist, angrily yelling at Liu Erlang.

Seeing that the person who beat him was actually his wife, Liu Erlang immediately showed a ferocious expression, rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards Liu Huang's side.

After a while, the screams of a man and a woman arguing suddenly came from the big courtyard of Lao Liu's house.

At this time, some villagers who went home from the field heard voices coming from inside. Everyone just glanced at the door of the house without stopping.

I don't know how long the screams lasted. When the courtyard of Lao Liu's house became quiet, inside, Liu Huang's face was swollen, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were torn at several corners.

As for Liu Erlang, it was a little better, but his face was scratched a few times, as for the rest, he was intact.

"You have died from the plague, our family only has such a little money, and you used it to gamble again. Seeing that our son is about to go to school, it's all right now, the money is all for you to gamble, What should I do now." Suddenly, Liu Huang's face was full of tears, and he slapped the loess with both hands, crying and cursing.

Liu Erlang's face was wrinkled into a ball, and he didn't know if it was the pain, or it was because of Liu Huang's words.

After a while, Liu Erlang interrupted Liu Huang's crying with a look of impatience, "Don't cry, I have been crying non-stop since I came back, no wonder I have been reciting these days, isn't it just a few taels of silver, don't worry , In these two days, wouldn’t it be all right for me to get the money back to you?”

After leaving this sentence, Liu Erlang turned around and entered the room, fell asleep on the bed, as if he would not wake up even when thunder struck.

At Xinliu's house, Zhang Qian was preparing dinner for the three families tonight.

Fortunately, there is no need to worry about the meat at home. Zhang Qian knew that the pork that was distributed two days ago may have been eaten by the two families.

If it wasn't for her family's Dabai who would bring back a few prey when he went up the mountain to look for food from time to time, I'm afraid her family would have lost all of them.

Glancing at the dishes laid out in the kitchen, Zhang Qian pursed her lips and smiled, and began to roll up her sleeves and move her hands.

After a while, the sound of a kitchen knife cutting vegetables on a sticky board came from the kitchen, and after a while, there was the sound of vegetables being put into the pot.

In the yard, Liu Dazhu smelled the smell of vegetables coming from the kitchen, sniffed, grinned and said, "Brother Liu Jun, you are so blessed that you can eat meals made by your younger siblings every day. Brother Dazhu, I am so envious." is you."

Liu Jun smiled, his face was full of happiness, after moving out from the old Liu's house, he also ate at Liu Dazhu's and Liu Dalang's house, but for some reason, after eating these two, he just felt that Dazhu's sister-in-law was the same The dishes cooked by his sister-in-law are not as fragrant as those cooked by his daughter-in-law.

Just when Zhang Qian was about to finish cooking tonight's meal, Dazhu's wife and Liu and Li's family, who were going to work in the field, came to help eat by the way.

"Sister, do you want me to help?" Walking to the kitchen door, Da Zhu's daughter-in-law poked a head into it and asked Zhang Qian who was busy inside with a smile.

Zhang Qian stopped what she was doing, looked back, smiled and said to her, "Sister-in-law, there is no need to help, just help me pick up the table in the living room, and dinner will start later."

"Then I won't be polite, I will leave today's hard work to you, sister, and I will just wait to eat the ready-made ones." Dazhu's daughter-in-law stayed with Zhang Qian for so long, so she naturally stopped being polite to Zhang Qian. After talking and laughing a few words, he turned around and went to clear the dining table in the living room.

Soon, Zhang Qian came out with a table full of good dishes. The three boys from Da Zhu's family and Liu Dalang's son sat on the table at regular intervals. No matter how delicious the dishes on the table were, these four little guys If they sit motionless and adults do not move their chopsticks, they will not dare to move first even if they are beaten to death.

Zhang Qian, who brought the last dish, saw the performance of these four little guys, and her eyes were full of satisfaction with the four of them.

During the few days when she lived in Lao Liu's house, she had seen with her own eyes the way Liu Erlang's son ate. He looked so bad, as if he hadn't eaten for more than ten years. There are so many leftover rice grains in the vegetable bowl that it makes people afraid to continue eating.

"What are you waiting for, what do you want to eat, you can pick it up yourself, don't be polite to me." Zhang Qian saw that everyone was seated, but no one picked up the food, so she hurriedly said to them.

Hearing Zhang Qian's words, Liu Dazhu picked up the chopsticks on his right first, put a piece of fried bamboo shoots into his mouth, and chewed a few times. Thumbs up, "Sister, you are really capable. Isn't this bamboo shoot bitter? How come after you make it, not only is it not bitter, but it also tastes sweet."
