Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 114 Aunt Fat's "Sister" (Pink)
(Red wine is starting to impact the new book Pink No.3. Today at 9, 13, and 19:18 three shifts, if pink reaches 110 at [-]:[-], there will be four shifts! Friends still save pink to vote for red wine!!) Shuan Shuan Napa The son wiped her tears and said in a low voice, "Grandma, Shuan Shuan will grow vegetables with her sister next year, earn the dowry money by himself, and then Shuan Shuan will buy you a gold bracelet." Blushed, but still said it openly.

The old lady looked at her little granddaughter, who was dependent on her, wearing a light yellow jacket, a white silk skirt embroidered with large green lotus flowers, and pearl jewelry on her head and ears. A fair-skinned and soft young girl felt more guilty and grateful to Mu Ai.

"Xianxian, you taught Shuan Shuan really well, grandma is relieved."

Mu Ai nodded with a smile, and changed the subject, "Grandma still has some food such as pork flour, butler Guo will bring someone to bring it to you later, you let Xiao Huaer put it away, don't be reluctant, cook and eat every day, I will have someone prepare the dishes for the New Year’s Eve and bring them to you. Shuan Shuan will also come back to watch the night with you, and I will get Simba to kowtow to you after the first day of the new year. Grandma will give you the New Year’s money.”

The old lady was amused by her rare coquettishness, and replied repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

Mu Ai talked some homely things with the old lady again, and then left Shuan Shuan and Dong Zhi to accompany the old lady to do needlework, and she took Chun Equinox and Xiao An back to her yard.

Five or six steps away from the door, I heard Simba's crying, Mu Ai was secretly happy, went into the inner room, and saw the fat boy sitting on the bed with snot and tears. This is really pitiful.Xia Zhi looked embarrassed at the side, saw Mu Ai was about to speak when she came back, but Simba complained first, "Mom, mom, Simba is hungry, sister Xia Zhi won't give me any snacks."

Mu Ai picked him up, took the wet towel from Chun Equinox and wiped his face, and then sat face to face with him and said, "I told Xia Zhi not to give you snacks and candies. I remember I told you a few days ago You don’t eat a lot of candy, you can only eat three yuan a day, you promised at the time, but you didn’t do it. Taking advantage of my busy days, I can’t eat more than a dozen yuan every day, you think I don’t know, The three meals are not good either. Now let you be hungry to let you know your own mistakes."

Simba looked at his mother's calm face, and wanted to rush over to act coquettishly, but he didn't dare, so he pouted, pulled out the purse on his body, touched the two pieces of candy inside, and handed it to his mother reluctantly.

"Mom, here's the candy."

Mu Ai took it over, "Mom punished you for starvation because you didn't keep your promise. You didn't do what you promised mom. You are a little man. When you grow up, you want to protect your mom. How can you break your word? What. Tell yourself, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Simba will eat well, don't eat sweets or snacks." The little guy said aggrievedly, and finally sneaked a look at the candy in his mother's hand.

Mu Ai burst out laughing, and it was too early to tell a four-year-old child Xin Nuo.No more embarrassing him now. "Mom didn't mean that you can't eat sweets and snacks in the future. Mom just wanted to tell you to eat well in the future, and you must do what you promised your mother."

"Then Simba can still eat candy and snacks?" Simba's small eyes were bright, but he still missed the point, and Muai nodded dumbfoundingly, "Yes, but you should eat less snacks, and you can only eat three pieces of candy a day. .”

"Mom, is ten yuan a day okay?" Simba is smarter. Fengshou and Yushun have started to read and write these days. He played with the two during the day and learned to count, but he can only count to Ten, he thought ten was the biggest number, so he used it to bargain with his mother.

Mu Ai heard that he knew numbers, so he quickly asked him to count to himself. Simba counted from one to ten with his tender little fingers, and kissed Mu Ai happily, but still said, "I eat too much sugar!" Worms will develop in the teeth, and the pain makes it difficult to sleep. From now on, we will still be three yuan a day, and we can’t eat more. But, our Simba is so smart and studious, mother wants to reward, tell me, what do you want?”

Simba thought about all his favorite things, and finally chose the delicious one.

Mu Ai carried him to the small kitchen, brought him snacks and hot soy milk to pad his stomach, then asked Qiu Fen to cut eight chicken legs, plucked off the small hairs on them, cut a few small slits with a knife, and put them on the chicken drumsticks. Marinate it in a paste made of fried chicken powder and water. After a quarter of an hour, fry it twice with [-]% hot oil, and the golden fried chicken drumsticks will come out of the oven.

Mu Ai gave one to Simba, and the fat boy drools for a long time, and immediately started to eat, looking at the ones on the plate while eating.Mu Ai nodded his forehead, "Greedy." Then he ordered Xia Zhi to put four buckles on a plate and send them to the West Courtyard for the old lady, Shuan Shuan and Hu Zi to eat.The remaining three were stuffed into Simba's arms in a large bowl.He was so happy that he hugged her tightly, and ran back to the house, for fear that his mother would give it away again.

Mu Ai shook her head helplessly. Seeing that the oil pan was still hot, she asked Qiu Equinox to fry a pan of fried cakes, and sent a plate to the west courtyard as before. Eating happily, and not coming to make trouble, Mu Ai can do things much faster.

Several clan elders and village chiefs had two pots of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, two pieces of cloth, two packs of snacks, one fish, and ten catties of meat.The remaining ordinary villagers have two packs of dim sum and five catties of meat.Although the life in the village is much better now than in previous years, and it is not short of these few catties of meat, but the wood ai is still given away, it doesn't matter how much, it just shows a problem of attitude.

She called Guo Huai in and told him to go with Aunt Guo to give the New Year's gift. Of course, she still gave a few more instructions about Aunt Guo's house.The two couples agreed to go, and every family accepted the gifts politely. The next day, they returned some mushrooms and pheasants as they did last year, but it was more neat. For example, the hares were a pair, There are also more mushrooms.

Mu Ai didn't show any dislike at all. She happily took the hare skin and planned to make a hat for Simba. She found Winter Solstice and Shuan Shuan, and it took a whole morning to complete the project. The brim of the hat is wrapped in cotton cloth, and there is a small hole in the center of the head that can be drilled into the braid. There is a circle of gray rabbit fur on both sides, which can be put down at any time when the ears are cold. It is really cute and funny.Simba ran around the house wearing a hat, with the braids on his head up and down, making all the girls in the house laugh so hard that their stomachs ached.

Aunt Guo entered the room at this moment, and told Mu Ai one thing in detail.

It turned out that she didn't go to the fat aunt's house to give the new year gift yesterday, so she didn't know what happened in her house. Today, sister-in-law Qiu came to gossip with her and only heard about it.

It turned out that the fat aunt's family consisted of six people. This year, the village got 90 taels of silver when the money was distributed. It was originally planned to repair the house next year and give the engagement to the second son.

However, Li Cai, the man of her family, spent 15 taels of silver from the city a few days ago to buy an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl. The fat aunt thought it was a daughter-in-law for her second son, but she did not expect to be her "" younger sister".
This concubine was young and beautiful, and she had some tricks. She confused Li Cai so much that she couldn't find anything, and even beat up the fat aunt.The couple turned the sky over for this concubine.

This is a good time, the fat aunt who gossips about other people's houses every day has become a joke in the whole village.

Yesterday, Guo Huai and his wife brought people from house to house to give New Year gifts, but they left her house alone.There are a total of dozens of families in the small village, how could there be a secret, and within a few hours, everyone knew about it.

Li Cai guessed that it was his mother-in-law's bad mouth that offended Madam Xian, and at night he slapped her twice in a fit of anger.You know, Mrs. Xian is the God of Wealth of the whole village. If she moves to live in the city in a fit of anger, or never takes everyone to grow vegetables, then their family will continue to live a hard life. can crush them to death.

The son and daughter-in-law didn't like her going around spreading gossip, but this time the family just got money to make new clothes and repair the house, but the mother turned her revenge on her, and felt ashamed to face others, so no one stopped her father .

Just now when Sister-in-Law Qiu left, she brought two catties of mushrooms as a present with her red and swollen face on her hind feet, but was pushed back by Aunt Guo, and then she took two packs of snacks and a piece of meat and went back embarrassingly.

Mu Ai was silent when she heard this, and there is an old saying that goes, "A farmer needs to take a concubine after harvesting a few extra loads of millet."This is really true. People who have been poor for several generations suddenly have spare money, and the first thing they do is to take concubines. Is this a bad root in man's nature, or has concubines become a symbol of wealth.However, if I knew that being rich at the beginning would bring such changes to this simple and peaceful small mountain village, would I still lead them to grow new vegetables to earn money?
However, things have two sides. At least the people in the village don’t have to worry about starvation in famine years, and don’t have to live in leaky houses. Children will have schools to study in soon, and girls can get a decent job when they get married. Generally speaking, the dowry should have more advantages than disadvantages.

After talking, Aunt Guo felt a little worried when she saw that her mistress' face was not good, thinking that she had said something wrong.

Mu Ai came to her senses, she changed the subject, asked about the New Year's food prepared in the big kitchen, and then sent her off.

The days passed peacefully amid such busy preparations. On the morning of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Mu Ai took the vernal equinox to walk around the yard, and collected three big stone piles in the yard by the way.

The day before yesterday, she taught Aunt Guo several people to make dumplings. In order to prepare enough portions for 40 people, all the people in the big kitchen kneaded the dough, chopped the stuffing, and prepared the dumplings before freezing them.

Mu Ai looked at the pot filled with womb cabbage pork and mushroom pork, both with less vegetables and more meat, and nodded in satisfaction.I also saw raw mung bean sprouts on the cutting board, steamed thin noodle steamed buns, fried noodle fish, large strips of pork, and large bones gurgling in the iron pot, waiting to be delivered from the small kitchen in the morning of thirty With some green vegetables, five good banquets can be opened.

After a brief explanation, he went back to the house, and Qingfeng came to report that it was the New Year gift from the Zhou residence.

　Ask for pink, desperately ask for pink! !
　　Woohoo, I want No.3, I want a bonus! !
