Chapter 42 Kill the New Year Pig
Luo Tiandu secretly rolled his eyes, thinking that the rice noodles you cook have neither lard nor meat sauce, they are cooked indiscriminately and then served in bowls, the clear soup with little water is naturally not tasty.

It's fine that Mrs. Xu didn't listen to Luo Baiqiu's explanation. When she heard her say that, she became very angry and scolded: "Damn! You lazy woman, you can't even cook a bowl of rice noodles, and you still have the nerve to ask others !"

"Mother, you can't blame me for this." Luo Baiqiu was also very wronged.

When Mrs. Yao went back to Qingquan Township, she asked about it. She knew that the rice noodles cooked by Mrs. Fang were made from pork offal and green vegetables. The pickled vegetables were free to eat, and the taste was much better than her boiled ones. .But Qiushui Town is so big, and only a few pigs are killed every month. The pigs have already been ordered by old customers, and it is not her turn to buy them. Pork is expensive. If she dares to ask Mrs. Xu to buy it If the meat is made of meat, Mrs. Xu must scold her to death.

"If you don't blame you, you still blame me? You are useless. People can steam rice noodles to produce dozens of acres of land, but you lose money every day! But I still believe in you, and you spent a lot of money on it. If you enter this shop, let alone make money, you will lose all your money."

"Mother, you also agreed to open this shop back then, how can you only blame me?" Luo Baiqiu was even more aggrieved.

"You still dare to argue?!" Xu was furious, and twisted the back of Luo Baiqiu's hands twice, the pain caused Luo Baiqiu to scream "Ouch", and tears fell down.

Mrs. Xu was still angry, pinched Luo Baiqiu again, and said bitterly: "If you don't want to earn back my mother's capital, let me see how I deal with you!"

Luo Tian opened his eyes wide, seeing Luo Baiqiu being scolded and strangled by Mrs. Xu, he couldn't even lift his head, and was silently speechless.You must know that every time Luo Baiqiu went back to her natal home, she would pack it neatly and bring big and small bags. She had never complained about her in-law's family in front of Yao Shi. It's all appearances!
This Mrs. Xu knew at a glance that it was not a fuel-efficient lamp!In front of her natal family, Luo Baiqiu could be scolded bloody.If Yao Shi knew that her precious daughter had come to her in-law's house and was treated like this by her mother-in-law, she didn't know what she would think.

Otherwise, why did she always think that Yao shi was too shrewd in small things, but confused in big things!If you want to marry a girl, you don't first ask about the temperament of the other's family members. With Xu's virtue, you still marry her in a stupid way. Isn't this a scam?
On the way back, she told Mrs. Fang the little question in her heart.

Fang patted her little head and said, "Didn't you find out clearly when you were your grandma? Before your aunt was going to leave the house, your grandma went to Qingquan Township several times." Not to mention Xu What kind of virtue is, even the Su family's eight lifetimes ago, has also been inquired by Yao Shi clearly.

"Then grandma still married the eldest aunt?" Isn't this lack of conscience?

Fang paused for a moment, then sighed and said, "At that time, your second uncle was rushing to take the examination for a scholar. The Su family offered a betrothal gift of six pennies, while other families only offered a betrothal gift of one or two pennies." She remembered that when she proposed marriage to Luo Baiqiu, old man Luo knew Xu Shi's temperament, so he refused to agree. Later, Yao Shi couldn't help but mess around, and finally nodded.

At that time, she didn't understand why Yao shi insisted on marrying Luo Baiqiu, but later she gradually understood that at that time Yao shi probably didn't have much money in his hands.

After listening to Fang's explanation, Luo Tian understood that Yao was taking Luo Baiqiu's life to pave the way for Luo Baihan.Regardless of how Yao shi pampered his daughter on weekdays, in his heart, he feared that the sum of two daughters would not be as important as Luo Baihan's son, and at critical times, he would never soften his heart by sacrificing one who would "splash water" in the future.

Luo Baiqiu is like this, and Luo Baining may end up in the same way in the future.

She frowned, she couldn't help but think a little more, Yao shi can do this to her own daughter, so what will happen to her granddaughter who is not considered close?She is still young, but she is not afraid, but Luo Mingdu grows up fast.If Luo Baihan continues to be ridiculous like this year after year, and Yao shi does not give up and insists on letting him go to the scientific examination, then there will be no money at hand, God knows if she will also play tricks on Luo Mingdu's marriage!
She was worried, so she asked, "Then in the future, the marriage between me and eldest sister will be decided by you and my father or grandparents?"

Fang's brows were also frowned: "The family is separated, of course it's me and your father who decide." After finishing speaking, she felt that something was wrong, stared at Luo Tiandu, and said, "Children's families, do you think there are so many? What are you doing? You, eat more and grow up quickly is serious."

She felt that Yao shi was hateful, but she was right in one sentence, this child should be disciplined, look what he said?If people listened to it, they might laugh at their family.

Fang is worried.This child is too smart, it really is not good, now he is planning his own marriage!
Luo Tian didn't realize Fang's anxiety at all, he was still frowning, and after thinking about it for a long time, he reluctantly said: "Then, when you say goodbye to Eldest Sister, you have to keep your eyes wide open and choose carefully, you must never find someone like this." Granny."

Fang Shi was laughed at by her, pinched her fair and tender face, and said: "How old are you? You started worrying about your eldest sister's marriage? A girl's family is not ashamed to say such things."

"My eldest sister can't be bullied like this!" Luo Tiandu said to Fang seriously, still poking his neck.It's best to be the one who has no picky parents-in-law and no troublesome uncle, so that the eldest sister will not be bullied by such a family.

The child she worked so hard to raise cannot be bullied like this casually, although technically speaking, Luo Ming was not really raised by her.

Fang's headache was caused by her troubles, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, okay! I will listen to you, and I will definitely find a good-tempered mother-in-law for your sister in the future." Thinking of something, I suddenly said with emotion, "Who didn't come here like this?"

No matter how precious the girls are, when they arrive at the in-law's house, they have to be carefully served according to the rules of the in-law's house, and they will live through the days slowly, until the son born by him also marries a wife and enters the house.

After many years, a daughter-in-law has become a mother-in-law. It really expresses the heartache of women all over the world.

Entering the late twelfth lunar month, the taste of the new year becomes stronger.

The large white pig that Yao shi has fed for two years is about to be slaughtered.

There is no feed these days, and pigs have to use grain to feed them. They eat a lot and grow slowly.Yao's pig has been raised for more than two years, and now it looks like it is still small and thin, weighing less than two hundred catties. Raising a pig like this is a waste of food. If it doesn't eat well, it won't grow. , and it is easy to lose weight, so Yao took advantage of the year to simply kill him.

On the day the pig was slaughtered, Luo Baiqiu rushed over from Qingquan Township.Fang worried that the slaughter of pigs would make too much noise and scare the children, so she sent Luo Mingdu and Luo Tiandu to Changhui's house, where they would study and write, and come back after everything was cleaned up here.

Luo Tiandu had also seen pig slaughtering in the countryside before, so he wasn't very curious. To be honest, the scene wasn't very bloody, but it was scary to hear the pig's limbs being pressed and hissing and screaming, so this time She followed Luo Mingdu to Changhui's house without any resistance.

Luo Tiandu is very attentive to the education of Luo Mingdu. According to the level of Luo Mingdu, he has formulated a detailed study plan. Every day, Luo Mingdu needs to recognize twenty big characters. Not only can he recognize it, but he must also be able to write it out. Qualified, in addition to learning arithmetic, now Luo Mingdu can already add and subtract within [-] without making any mistakes.

Luo Tiandu also assigned Luo Mingdu a learning task today as usual, as usual, twenty big characters, and taught Luo Ming to recognize each of them one by one, and asked her to follow the next post.The words were written by Luo Baisu on the red paper earlier, so Luo Mingdu took a charcoal pen and copied them stroke by stroke.

The carbon strip pen invented by Luo Tiandu is very popular in Luojia Village because of its easy production.

After writing the big characters for less than half an hour, I heard sharp pig squeals from the next door, one after another, extremely shrill.

Luo Tiandu shook his hand, and the charcoal stick was broken in an instant.She didn't care to tidy up the red paper, washed her hands hastily, and tightly covered Changhui's two small ears, lest he be startled by the pig's cry.

The cry of the pig only lasted for a short while, then it gradually became lower and finally calmed down.

Until this time, Luo Tiandu just let go of his hand.

It was almost noon when Mrs. Fang came over and told them to go back to the house.

The yard had already been tidied up, even the big wooden tubs brought by the pig butcher to scald the pigs were cleaned and stood on the edge of the courtyard wall.The little white pig that Yao has raised for two years has now been bled and plucked, and turned into a large piece of pork. It is lying on a door panel, and old man Luo is chopping it into strips with a hatchet.

The pig butcher still had two pigs to kill in the afternoon, so he packed them up here and didn't keep any more. He took a pig belly and a pair of pig intestines home.Most of the people who stayed were because they didn't have any pigs to slaughter, and they were waiting for the meat.

More than 100 catties of pigs were drained of blood, hair and bones removed, and the remaining clean meat was only about [-] to [-] catties. Old man Luo kept half of it for himself, and the other half was bought away in pieces.

For the tens of catties of pork left by the family, old man Luo chopped off a piece of fat pork belly as usual and kept it for Luo Baiqiu.This year Luo Baisu was separated again, and the old man Luo knew that their family did not weigh the meat, so he also chopped off a meaty one and called Luo Baisu to come and get it.

Luo Tian even saw Yao's face twitch, come on, this meat is out of reach.She reckoned that piece would weigh more than a dozen catties, and if it was sold, it would cost more than a penny, so she couldn't blame Mrs. Yao's heartache.

Sure enough, I heard Yao's yin and yang saying strangely on the side: "It's because I have worked so hard to raise such a small pig for two years. Just like this, you can get a share of my share. I am unlucky. I have been working in vain for two years."
