Chapter 56 Stupid Zhu!Dare to hide private money
Dong Rong couldn't get in the conversation and was really impatient and bored in the house, so she put on a straw hat and a piece of linoleum and went out to wander around.

Zhao Qingshan had just bought a sheep and was happily leading two handymen to kill and skin the sheep.The big iron pot under the thatched shed was half boiled with boiling water, splashing and splashing.Sister-in-law Liu and Mei Hua laughed until their eyes were narrowed. They were talking and laughing while throwing large pieces of ginger and scallions into the pot, waiting for the fresh mutton to be thrown in before the stew started.

Dong Rong felt extremely uncomfortable in her stomach from the bloody smell, and hid aside after saying hello to everyone.

Speaking of which, many customs in this time and space are similar to her hometown in her previous life. For example, farmers like to cook pancakes with pancakes as dry food, hang bacon from the beams of the house, and eat dumplings stuffed with meat on New Year's Day.But there are also many differences, and drinking mutton soup this summer is one of them.Many years ago, the elders passed down this habit. In summer, they should drink mutton soup, and the hotter the better, so as to remove the moisture in the body and prevent diseases.

It's a pity that the peasants are already blessed by God if they can fill their stomachs. How can they have spare money to buy sheep and kill meat, so most of them are just thinking about it.I don’t want to think that it’s rainy and rainy today, and even the youngest youngsters with the most firepower feel wet and cold, and the host’s family suddenly wants to cook mutton soup to reward everyone. .

Murong Huaide walked all the way up the mountain, he heard people laughing loudly from a long distance away, he frowned in doubt, and when he turned the corner and saw Dong Rong who was squatting under a tree in a daze, he became even more annoyed up.

"How did you get out?"

"Ah, Zhuzi, where did you go?" Dong Rong jumped up happily, almost knocking over the linoleum on her shoulders.Murong Huaide quickly stretched out his hand to cover her tightly, and then walked back while embracing her, asking instead, "Did you drink the medicinal soup?"

"Drink it, you are all guarding against me like a thief, I don't have a chance to fall." Dong Rong remembered the bitter taste of the medicinal soup, pouted her lips in disgust, and finally glanced at the cold-faced silly Zhu and said doubtfully, "Zhuzi, why do I feel that you ... seem to be much smarter in the past few days? No, you have grown up a lot. It's not right, anyway, there is something different from before."

Murong Huaide's arms tightened when she heard the words, causing Dong Rong to stagger. She pinched him and blamed him, "Just now I praised you for being so smart, why can't you even walk well? I really can't help boasting." I’ve frightened you by being poisoned this time, don’t be afraid, I didn’t feel any pain at all. I just had a dream, dreaming about my previous life…”

previous life?Murong Huaide raised his brows lightly, laughing in his heart why these weird things popped up in his little daughter-in-law's mind again.Dong Rong seemed to feel that Silly Zhu would not be able to understand these things, so she quickly stopped talking and came to a conclusion, "In short, I was deceived miserably in my previous life, so whoever dares to deceive me in this life , I will never forgive him!" After finishing speaking, she waved her fist at Shazhu in protest, and asked forcefully, "Honestly, how much private money did you hide from me?"

At first, Murong Huaide thought she had discovered his hidden secret, but after hearing it, he realized it was a fraud, and he really felt a little dumbfounded.Just as he was about to respond, someone shouted from behind, "Sister, how are you doing? Does your arm still hurt?"

It turned out that Dong Ping was taking a rest today, and returned to the small courtyard happily, but when he heard that his sister had been bitten by a snake, he was so frightened that he threw all his souls out of the sky, and ran up the mountain against the rain.

Dong Rong turned her head and saw her younger brother running over with Xi Zi from a distance, the two fell down a few times along the way, they were as dirty as mud monkeys.She was so distressed that she rushed to meet her, and while pulling the linoleum to protect her brother from the rain, she complained, "I was bitten by a snake, and I'm not a tiger or black bear. Why are you running back in such a hurry?"

Not only was Dong Ping not annoyed when he heard his sister scolding him, but a happy expression appeared on his face, "Sister, are you really all right?"

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm fine." Dong Rong shook her cotton-wrapped arm, indicating that her wound was fine, and then said with a smile, "It's just in time for you to come back today. I'm making mutton soup at home. Drink two more in a while." Use a bowl to remove moisture, so don't delay your studies because of the rain and cold."

Seeing that his sister was really fine, Dong Ping was also happy, and said jokingly, "Brew mutton soup? Then I want to drink a few bowls. I used to see people drinking mutton soup, and I was so greedy that I was drooling..."

The two siblings walked up the mountain while talking like this, Xizi was even more childish, just now when she heard about the killing of sheep, she ran to watch the fun, leaving Murong Huaide standing alone in the rain, with mixed feelings in her heart have no choice.Maybe today is really not a good time to confess, let's talk about it later.

After walking a few steps, Dong Rong didn't see Silly Zhu following her, so she turned her head and shouted, "Zhu Zi, come up quickly, your clothes will get wet in a while."

"Oh, here we come." Murong Huaide sighed secretly, and when he raised his head again, he put on a silly smile again, and hurried up.

In the thatched shed next to the hut, large pieces of mutton and mutton bones have been put into the pot, and the cleaned and cut into small pieces of mutton heart, mutton liver, and mutton intestines have also been thrown away. The hot air rippled and soon filled the entire mountain.

A group of handymen sat in the corner of the shed and chatted, their eyes glanced at the steaming pot from time to time, and the smiles on their faces could not be concealed.Dong Ping wanted to join in the fun, so he took Xizi into the shed and walked around. When they saw it, everyone quickly got up and saluted and said hello, and then hurriedly moved to find a clean place to invite him to sit down.

Dong Ping didn't want to disturb their rare leisure time, so he turned around and came out on the pretext of going to salute Aunt Cao.

Aunt Cao was pulling Silly Zhu and complaining that he had lost weight, and she couldn't help complaining that Mrs. Cao favored one another and disregarded her son's safety for the sake of her daughter's medical treatment.The old lady's words reminded Dong Rong that Second Sister Cao is just a very lively age, and she always stays at home on weekdays. If she can be called over to join in the fun, the little girl will definitely be happy.

But when she thought of Mrs. Cao, who had a protruding nose and vertical eyes, Dong Rong stopped thinking about it.It's rare for everyone to get together and happily drink a bowl of mutton soup, so don't ask yourself for it.

Aunt Cao Xu also thought of something, and secretly patted Dong Rong's hand to show that she understood.Dong Rong's heart warmed, she smiled and called Shazhu to search for the leaf card bought from the city a few days ago.

Aunt Cao is a good player at leaf cards, but it is a pity that she is busy on weekdays and rarely has the opportunity to play two cards. Today is rare and happy, so she brought her nephew as a helper, and Granny Yu and Dong Ping also formed a team. Played "opposite home".

Xizi was so young and lively, she ran here to have a look, and went there to take a look. From time to time, Aunt Cao who lost the game picked up her ears and relied on him to report the news.For a while, in the small hut, the sound of laughing and cursing almost lifted the roof, and it was extremely lively.

Dong Rong quietly pushed open the two carved wooden windows, lay on the window sill and looked at the rain-washed green leaves not far away, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.No matter when, as long as there are relatives who really love you by your side, it is the happiest moment.Of course, if the days are rich, it would be even more icing on the cake to be accompanied by delicious food and wine during the reunion.

The light rain continued for half a day, and it stopped at noon.The clouds quickly dissipated, and the sun reappeared, shining lazily on the wet earth everywhere.

The mutton in the big iron pot has been stewed for more than an hour, and Mrs. Liu finally lifted the heavy pot lid under the expectant eyes of everyone.The pot was originally full of soup, but now it is only half boiled, and the large pieces of lamb and lamb bones are faintly visible in the milky white soup, and the finely divided haggis is rolling with the water splash. The strong aroma soon filled the entire grass shed.

Everyone subconsciously raised their noses and sniffed vigorously, and the saliva instantly flooded into a river.

"It smells so delicious!"

"Yes, yes, I haven't eaten mutton for many years."

"Sister-in-law Liu, hurry up and fill it out, if you delay for a while, the oil slick will not taste good!"

Everyone couldn't bear to be greedy, and they praised Liu sister-in-law while praising her.Sister-in-law Liu gave everyone a reproachful look, and scolded with a smile, "Why are you so anxious! The boss hasn't eaten yet, how can the hired worker move the bowl first? I'll bring a pot into the house first, and then I'll share the soup with you."

Everyone also felt that it was a little too much, and they retreated to the side with a dry smile.Sister-in-law Liu picked a piece of mutton and cut it into thin slices and sprinkled it in the basin. Then she scooped up two bones and poured a few ladles of thick soup on it.Meihua has also prepared chili oil, coriander powder, chopped green onion, soy sauce, salt and vinegar, etc., and the two of them sent them into the house together.

Aunt Cao and Mrs. Yu had already cleared the table, and when they saw this, they made soup for the juniors by themselves.Dong Rong could not eat spicy medicine, so only salt, vinegar and coriander powder were put in the soup bowl.Originally, she still disliked the smell of mutton soup, thinking about how not to hurt the old lady's kindness, she pushed the soup bowl out again.But if you look down carefully, the green coriander leaves are floating on the milky white soup, which is very pleasing to the eye.Gently sniffing, the smell of fishy smell was sour, so I reluctantly took a sip.As a result, the hot soup slid down the throat, and the whole stomach seemed to heat up in an instant, and the pores of the whole body were cheering loudly.Don’t say that it’s just after the rain outside, even if you stand naked in the ice and snow and drink such a bowl of mutton soup, you will no longer be afraid of the cold.

Seeing her eating so happily, Shazhu and Dong Ping looked at each other and laughed, scooped up a big spoonful of chili oil and put them into their own bowls, the smudged soup was bright red, very dazzling.In the end, I picked up the bowl and drank it. Before I took a few mouthfuls, I was sweating profusely all over my head and face.Dong Rong was busy looking for a handkerchief, but Aunt Cao smiled and said, "It's best to be sweating from such a background."

Sister-in-law Liu also laughed and said, "You can only get rid of the moisture after sweating!"

Dong Rong had to give up after hearing this, and turned to Liu sister-in-law, "Sister-in-law, remember to save two pieces of mutton, one for my aunt to take back, and the other... When I return to the village at night, my sister-in-law will send it home to honor my parents. The rest will be shared. Give it to everyone, it’s rare to have a meal of mutton soup, and let everyone eat the glutinous rice pancakes.”

"Okay, boss, you can eat at ease, I will take care of you outside." Sister-in-law Liu responded loudly and hurried out. The handymen had already brought their own big bowls and waited by the pot. They all laughed and shouted.
