Peasant woman

Chapter 22

Fu Gui hurriedly shook his head, "Uncle Zhao, this is impossible. You don't pay on credit now. You owed me money last year and the year before, so you can't pay on credit now." , he always turned a blind eye.Some people like to take advantage of small things, and they don’t give money on credit when they buy it. They don’t pay any attention to credit for a year or two.Now that he is married to a daughter-in-law, he can't live like this anymore, and he still has to save money to raise a daughter-in-law.

Uncle Zhao blushed, and said embarrassingly: "Isn't this money, why don't you cut five catties of pork for me, and I will pay back the money I owed you two years ago during the Chinese New Year?"

Fugui shook his head, he wasn't really stupid.Just because he turned a blind eye before, everyone in the village thought he was stupid, and my mother always scolded him, calling him a prodigal.At that time, he was the only one who lived with Xiao Miaomiao, and some money was enough. He never cared about it, but now it is different.

Now that he refuses to pay on credit, there are even fewer villagers buying wild boar meat.

"Idiot, is this what you're going to do after marrying a daughter-in-law? People in the village won't make you two catties of meat on credit?"

"That's right, how about cutting two catties for us, and returning the money to you together during the Chinese New Year?"

Everyone thought he was stupid, thought that he was Xu Cao's pillow wind, and the way they looked at Xu Cao changed.

Fu Gui waved his hand, "No, no, I will support my family in the future, and I'm not really stupid, I really believe that you will pay back the money during the Chinese New Year? If you want to buy it, buy it, if you don't buy it, don't join in the fun, and no one will give it to you." Credit."

Mrs. Chen was angry at the side, why weren't you smarter earlier, you have to wait until now?I don't know how much money I lost in the past years, it's really abominable!

Seeing this, Xu Cao hurried up, stood next to Fugui, and said with a smile: "This pork is already a few pennies cheaper than the town, and now it's about to snow, the price of pig heads in the town must have increased, my husband Selling it to you so cheaply, but you still only care about taking advantage of him? I don’t care about the credit before, but now he married me, we are husband and wife, and we will live together and raise children in the future, all of which need money. It’s not really stupid. In the past, he took Miao Miao alone without a housekeeper. He just turned a blind eye when you bought prey. It’s really different now. And please remember, uncles and aunts, My husband's name is Yang Fugui, or Yang Chen'an, he is not called Yang Fool, nor Yang Lengzi."

The people around were all stunned when they heard it, but they also understood that what Xu Cao said was true. Wealth and wealth used to be just that they didn't want to care about them. Now that they are married and want to support their families, they can't always take advantage of others. up.And this little lady looks not easy to bully, so don't take advantage of others in the future.

After Fugui heard this, he stood aside and grinned.

"Well, hey...cough, rich, give me two catties of pork, we can't afford too much, smoke it up, and save it for the New Year."

Although the people in the village are poor, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon, at least some money should be spared to buy some meat for the Chinese New Year.The plague this spring had no effect on people, but it had a great impact on poultry. Almost all poultry in the village and the neighboring villages died.Otherwise, the price of meat would not be so expensive in their remote place.Last year, the thinner pork in the town was only [-] or [-] yuan a catty, and the fatter pork was only [-] yuan.This year, it is quite a few pennies more expensive.

Seeing someone buying it, the people behind also bought it. They didn't buy much, only three to five catties, and saved it for the Chinese New Year to satisfy their hunger.

Soon the half of the pork was sold, and none of them paid on credit.

Seeing the jingling silver coins in Fugui's pocket, Chen's eyes were red with anxiety, thinking that these silver coins had nothing to do with her, she felt like a hundred cats' paws scratching her in her heart, wishing to come forward and reprimand Fugui , and he called out the silver.However, she also knew that it was impossible for Fugui to ignore him.

Looking at the remaining two large pots of pork, Fugui picked up a front leg and gave it to Shen, "Second brother and sister, you keep this leg for food. Although we are separated, we are still a family."

Mrs. Chen looked at the front leg and wanted to come over. Just as she took two steps forward, Fugui glanced at her, then turned to Mrs. Chen and said, "Second brother and sister, you marinated this meat and dried it in the sun. Lock it in your room, so that you will have meat to eat during the Chinese New Year."

If this leg was really in Mrs. Chen's place, he must have secretly subsidized her brothers and sisters. If the family members eat a bite, she will scold you for a long time. It's better to give it to the second younger brother and sister, so that the whole family can eat.

Father Yang also saw Mrs. Chen, snorted and said: "I'll listen to the rich, the second brother's family has dealt with the front legs and went to the lock room, and we will eat together in the future. If anyone talks about you, the second family's Yes, you just come and tell me, if you don’t believe her, you can’t do it!” Father Yang got angry thinking that the family is not like a family now, and felt that it would be better for him to be tough, otherwise he would put the second child The family was also forced to leave, which is really shameful, and the whole village must gobble them up and kill them.

Only then did Shen take the front leg with a smile, and thanked Fugui.

Fugui picked up the other front leg, cut another ten catties of meat from the pig, put it in a bamboo basket, and handed it to Xu Cao, "Daughter-in-law, you carry these, and I will give them to your mother later." Send it over, there are still half of the pig intestines and pig offal, do you want to send some to mother and the others?"

Xu Cao took a look at the pig intestines and shook her head, "Forget it, I won't give those away. I'll save them for an enema and eat them. I'll send some to my mother when I'm ready."

Fugui grinned, "Well, can you carry this thing easily? If not, I'll go there with you."

Xu Cao is naturally able to carry it, and has been doing farm work since she was a child. The thirty or forty catties of things are not a problem, "No problem, I will send them over, and you can stay at home."

When Xu Cao came to Xu's house with the front legs and a dozen catties of pig meat, Shi Li's eyes stared straight at the wild boar meat.After a long time, he grinned loudly, his face was full of joy that could not be concealed, "Why, Da Ya, Fugui asked you to send all these?"

Xu Cao smiled, "Yes." She thought that Fugui would give her natal family a few catties of pork at most, but she didn't expect to give so much.In fact, even if the wealth is not given, she will not say anything. After all, she is from the Yang family, so she can't always think about her mother's family.However, if she has the ability, she will naturally help her natal family. They are all family members who have lived with her for more than ten years and are closely related by blood. She will not bear to watch them suffer.If the potatoes can be planted successfully, she will definitely persuade her mother to be the first person to 'eat crabs'.

"Fugui really has a heart." Li couldn't close her mouth with a smile, "I said that Fugui is a good man, right? Mother and father have found the right person for you."

Xu Cao also laughed, yes, Fu Gui is indeed a good man, responsible.Even in the previous life, not many men are willing to stand up for their daughter-in-law.

Thinking about the situation at home, Xu Cao suddenly said: "Mom, you should keep this food for food, don't sell it in the town, the two yas and three yas in Xiaoshan are all grown up, don't let them be like me!" "Short of development, Xu Cao didn't dare to say the last few words.

Li's akimbo fiercely, staring at Xu Cao, "Why is it like you? Didn't my old lady raise you with good food and drink?"

Xu Cao hurriedly said: "Mother, I don't mean that, I mean, Xiaoshan's two ya and three ya all need nutrition, if they don't feed them to nourish their bodies, what will Xiaoshan do if he is as thin and short as I am? Don't you want Xiao Shan to grow up to be an upright man? Don't you want Erya and Sanya to grow up tender and beautiful, find a good man?"

When Li Shi thought about it, it wasn't true, if her son became a man of indomitable spirit and the daughters were well-groomed and married to a good man, she would be able to live a good life with the old man in the future.Why be reluctant to part with this bit of pork.Then he said: "All right, I know everything, and I definitely won't sell it, so you can relax."

Xu Cao chattered with her for a few more words, and then went back with an empty basket.

Fugui was cutting a large piece of pig head into strips in the yard, making cured meat and bacon, Shen Shi and his second and third younger brother Xiao An were helping.

After working hard for a long time, I finally processed a hind leg and a hundred catties of pork, kept the remaining large intestine, Xu Cao, and cleaned up the remaining pork offal, ready to be stewed with ribs and potatoes at night.

After the pigs were cleaned up, Xu Cao hurried back to the room to pick up a few potatoes that were pushed against the wall, but there were not many potatoes, so she didn't dare to peel them too much.He also asked Fugui to help build a few bricks in the yard, put a big pot on it, and started cooking.

After cooking for an hour, the pork offal and pork ribs exude a strong aroma. Xu Cao hurriedly peeled the potatoes, cut them into pieces, threw them in, and sprinkled coarse salt into them.After cooking for more than half an hour, the aroma became more intense, and Xu Cao threw in the chopped garlic sprouts from Mrs. Li.

Xiaobai ran into the yard a few times, standing beside the cauldron and staring at the cauldron in a daze, his eyes sparkling.Heizi was also faintly agitated, but he was much better than Xiaobai, he just lay on the side and stared at the pot.

Uncle Dezi and Brother Qingshan, who were building the stove in the kitchen, also came out. Seeing the big pot, they smiled and said, "Rich daughter-in-law, this is boiled pork, it's really delicious."

The two of them heard Xu Cao's words just now, and knew that the little lady was dissatisfied with the man who called her a fool or a fool, so they changed their words.
