Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 51

The old man talked to Ye Zhu, and after Li Xia resolved it, he didn't leave any bad feelings in Ye Xiaoqiao's family anyway. Some people, the more you care, the more unhappy you feel, and the less you care, then they will very good mood.

Regarding the matter of the old man supporting Yushui, Ye Zhu also felt a little sad. After all, Li Xia is the grandson of the old man. It is unreasonable to come here to trouble Li Xia for a rain.

Ye Zhu felt that he would let Li Xia be the master in this matter, and he was really sad for the old man.

After Laba, the business of butchers in the village improved. Every day, there were appointments with people who wanted to kill pigs. Sometimes a butcher could kill more than ten pigs a day.

And there is a habit here, killing pigs in the morning and in the morning, and absolutely no one does it in the afternoon.

Ye Xiaoqiao's aunt also fed the pigs, and their platoon was earlier than Xiaoqiao's family, so today I was helping at their house.Ye Yong and the others had already moved into the new house before winter, and they didn't say what would happen to the two rooms in the old courtyard, but Ye Gen didn't marry a wife, so no one lived in the east room.

Speaking of Ye Gen, Ye Xiaoqiao's fourth uncle, he arrived today, but when he came, he rolled his hands into his sleeves, watching the big guys busy, catching pigs, he, a scholar, helped I'm not busy, and I think it's rude to kill a pig.

Then why did he come today, because today the pig is slaughtered, and the host will cook a meal for the relatives in the neighborhood. Anyway, as long as there is pork, there will be no shortage of vegetables.

Ye Xiaoqiao also helped to light the fire on the stove. After a while, the pig's blood came down and was about to burn into blood clots.

Mrs. Liu is willing to work hard to feed the pigs, so the pig killed today is also very big, it looks like it is two hundred catties smaller. The daughters-in-law who helped together are all praising Liu, and Liu is also smiling happily Yes, who doesn't like to hear good things.

There was laughter in the kitchen.Xiaoqiao heard someone ask: "Your brother-in-law's marriage hasn't been settled yet. Didn't you say you found a girl from the city?"

Liu said: "I moved here, I really don't know, what's going on over there, I haven't told me."

In front of Liu Shi, Wu Shi and others, it is not easy for everyone to gossip about Ye Gen. Although you know that their relationship is not good, but you
It is not acceptable to speak ill of a brother face to face.

After listening to it for a while, Xiaoqiao felt that it was boring, so he went out to play by himself, Wu said: "Don't run away, the meal will be ready in a while."

"Got it, mother, I'll just play around here."

Unlike Ye Xiaoqiao's house, the aunt and uncle built the house in the village. It used to be a place where a childless person lived. Uncle Aunt He didn't want to be far away from the village, so she found Lizheng Fifth Grandpa, bought the land, and built a house on it.

There are people in front, back, left, and right.Ye Xiaoqiao walked out of the gate of the yard by himself, it was getting colder and colder, and the clothes Xiaofeng was wearing were the ones that Xiaofeng wore before, Wu said that she would make a new one for Xiaoqiao after the Chinese New Year.Although I made some money from raising fish, I still need the money for the next year to pay off my debts, so I have nothing but new clothes for the new year, even Lixia.

I really don't know why Guo and the others are jealous of their own family. The wheat has not been harvested yet, and the food is all bought coarse grains, and the requirements for a meal of white rice have not been met.

"Xiaoqiao, I've been looking for you for a long time!" Zhang Meng came from not far away, and his young man Fengshou was by his side, and now he was on vacation in the school, and he didn't have to go to school anymore.

"What's the matter with me?" Xiaoqiao asked.
Although Zhang Meng belongs to a landlord's family, he has a good heart. He was a little spoiled in the past, and he was right when he said what he said, but with Ye Xiaoqiao and the others, he has changed a lot.

"Are you killing pigs here?" Zhang Meng asked.

"That's right, this is my uncle's house, and today they are killing pigs."

"Then I want to see it!" Zhang Meng looked excited.

"What's so interesting about killing pigs? Now you can't even think about it. My uncle's pigs have been slaughtered. There's really nothing to see. The pigs screamed so badly that I covered my ears! Harvest, Why does your young master even care about killing pigs?"

Fengshou said helplessly: "I also told the young master that there is nothing interesting about killing pigs. The young master doesn't listen. Young master, what I said is the same as what Xiaoqiao said."

Zhang Mengdao: "Didn't people say that hearing is believing? I don't know if I haven't seen it. Have you killed Xiaoqiao's pig? Let me see."

Fengshou's face was almost wrinkled into a bun, "Master, if the old man finds out, my ass will bloom again."

"Forget it, forget it, don't watch it if you don't read it. It's not a big deal. Xiaoqiao, my grandfather said that the fish you sent over is delicious, and he also said that we will buy fish from your house in the future. "Zhang Meng brought good news.

Xiaoqiao was happy to hear that, and said, "Really? Thank you."

"Thank me for what? It's delicious elsewhere. Every time I eat the fish you send, I will eat an extra bowl of rice. My grandfather is happy." Zhang Meng didn't care.

It is precisely because you ate an extra bowl of rice that Landlord Zhang made this decision, Xiaoqiao thought, although this landlord’s house cannot be compared with Dahu Zhu’s, it is still the one that consumes the most fish in these villages. It would be great if I could really buy fish in my own fish pond. Maybe I will dig another fish pond next year.

"Is it okay for my sister to work at your house?" Xiaoqiao asked.

"Your sister, I don't know. I never go to the kitchen."

As soon as Xiaoqiao opened his mouth, he knew that he was asking for nothing. How could Zhang Meng still care about this issue? But mother has already said that Xiaofeng will not be allowed to go to work after the New Year. After all, she is also old. Stayed home.It's important to do needlework.

It's also because the conditions at home are a little better than before, and Mrs. Wu also loves her daughter so much that she won't let her suffer outside.

"How about I go back and ask?" Zhang Meng said.

"No, no, I'll just ask casually." If this little young master went back and asked a little girl how she was doing at work, she would really be targeted, "Don't ask, my sister will ask you after the Chinese New Year." , I won’t go, by the way, go back quickly, I’ll go in later.” Zhang Meng took out a candy wrapper from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiaoqiao’s hand, “Take this candy, you must I haven’t tried it, let you try it, I’m going back.”

Before Ye Xiaoqiao had time to return it to him, this man left with Fengshou. She looked at the candy in her hand and thought it was funny, Zhang Meng was still the same as before, she made her own decision, really spoiled.

"Sister Xiaoqiao, what's in your hand?" Xiaomi bouncing over, her family slaughtered pigs today, she was happy because she could eat pork.

Xiaoqiao said: "It's candy, do you want to eat it?"

Xiaomi nodded heavily, and Xiaoqiao gave her one.

"It's so sweet!" Xiaomi squinted his eyes in happiness, children's requirements are really low, a piece of candy can be happy for a long time.

"I bought it secretly, don't tell others, or I won't give it to you next time!" Ye Xiaoqiao felt that he could lie casually.

"Well! I won't tell anyone!" Xiaomi looked solemn!
There are only three sisters-in-law left over there, and they all raise pigs this year, and they all have to kill pigs. Of course, they all have to send pork to the upper house. No, the three of them discuss how much is appropriate to send.

Hao said: "A pig, the pig's head, internal organs, and meat are only a few big pieces. Let's just give one piece away, and the rest will be given to my natal family. There is a big piece for each of us in the three families. not enough."

Hao Shi said that she didn't want to give it away at all in her heart, but it's okay not to give it away.

Mrs. Liu nodded, "Then let's give one piece away. This year, everyone has slaughtered pigs, and everyone can eat meat."

Hao asked: "Second sister-in-law, why did I hear that Yushui's mother came to talk to you?"

Wu said: "Mother Yushui wants Yushui to come over to help Lixia. The fish pond at home is Lixia's own work. He is busy now, and we can't afford others, but the old man later asked our family to help him. spoke."

"That's true! Who is the real one?" Hao felt speechless.If anyone of these three families is a little bit better, they will definitely be targeted. less.

Mrs. Guo also feeds pigs herself, and at first she wanted to sell them to her, but she didn't agree, otherwise it would be troublesome. Now those two pigs are far inferior to theirs, but Mrs. Guo said, these two pigs She is going to sell the pigs in the spring, otherwise she will have no money on hand. This is so tragic, it really ruins the reputation of their sons. The three of them buy food for food. The four of them have eight acres of paddy fields. It's so ridiculous that they sold so much food, and they didn't say to help them, but sold a lot, and said they had no money.

They only look at the things of the three of them, and they absolutely can't take out their own things, even if they want to be respected as elders.

Mrs. Liu said: "Now that they are all separated, let's do as little as possible. Let's give what we should give, and don't give what we shouldn't, and don't be soft-hearted. Everyone has children. Take care of yourself and be serious."

This is right, both Wu Shi and Hao Shi nodded.After being a daughter-in-law for so many years, it's enough to be tortured.A separation should be like a separation.

A few days later, Ye Xiaoqiao's pig was also killed, and Wu's pickled it so that it could be preserved for a long time in spring. According to the agreement, a large piece was sent to the upper house. Once the pig is gone, we negotiated that we don't need to give each other away.

Mrs. Wu packed a basket of meat and asked Liqiu and Xiaoqiao to send it to their grandfather’s house. They used to take things from their grandfather’s house, but this time it’s a gift. The feeling is different. Mrs. Wu feels that now she finally has the opportunity to honor her. Honoring one's parents is very joyful spiritually.

The elder aunt and the younger aunt saw that the brother and sister had given away such a basket of meat, and they both said: "His aunt is too polite, there is only so much meat for a pig, and this is all given away, what is left?"

Li Qiu said: "There are too many pigs killed at home, and there are more, you can accept them, auntie."

The eldest aunt Zhang smiled and said: "Li Qiu has studied for a year, and his speech is different, and he is also gentle."

My little aunt Wu also said: "That's right, I remember that I used to be like a monkey when I came here."

Xiaoqiao said: "My second brother is still teaching me how to read every day, and he is also good at writing." Hehe, appropriate praise is also a kind of encouragement.

The grandmother also came out, she only praised the two children, but she insisted on keeping them and refused to leave, let them stay here overnight, and prepared smoked rabbit meat for them, these things were obtained by my uncle from selling wild goods, Li Qiu hurriedly said: "Grandmother, you can keep it, we have killed enough pigs."

"Can pig meat be the same as rabbit meat? Take it, or grandma won't be happy."

The eldest aunt and the younger aunt also laughed and said, "Hurry up and accept it, why is Li Qiu becoming more and more polite?"

There is no way, the basket was full when I came here, and the basket was full when I went back, but the things were different. Wu didn't say anything after seeing it, her mother's family knew it well, and just felt sorry for them.

And the same Lixia went to the county town to deliver meat to two aunts, and when he came back, he also got a bunch of things.If it weren't for the fact that the firecrackers could only be bought at home, they would probably have prepared them.

"Mother, Eldest Aunt and Second Aunt also sent something to Uncle Third Uncle and the others, I'll deliver it to them." Li Xia said.

Mrs. Wu nodded. It seems that the eldest aunt and the second aunt are still waiting to see the room. This time they didn't bring anything to them. They didn't separate before, so they didn't send anything.She won't be so stupid as to give a portion of her own things to the house, so let it go.

Li Xia didn't say anything when delivering things to the uncle and the others. When delivering things to the third aunt and the others, Hao asked: "Li Xia, I heard that your cousin Yifan got the line for the place where you sell fish?"

Li Xia hurriedly said: "Big cousin happened to know the person in charge and knew that I was raising fish, so he helped me with this." He dared not say that it happened before, and Third Aunt must be serious if he is not soft.

After Lixia left, Mrs. Hao said to Ye Tian: "Eldest sister is too biased, so I know how to help my second brother and the others." Mrs. Hao is generally good, but she is a little narrow-minded, so why not?Thinking that they belong to the same father and one mother, the eldest sister is obviously better for the second family, so I feel a little jealous.

Ye Tian said: "You don't raise fish, why are you arguing about this? Also, Li Xia knows to send meat to the elder sister and the second sister, why don't you want to send meat? Think about yourself."

After hearing this, Hao Shi said, "I'm just muttering, and I don't mean anything else." She is not as generous as the second wife. In addition to sending a piece of pork to the upper room, and then some to her mother's family, others she Haven't thought of it yet.

What she thought was that the elder aunt and the second aunt must not be short of this piece of meat, so what does it matter if they give it away or not?Forget it, the second wife is generous, she can't do that.Besides, my two sons are young now, so it's not a big deal, let's talk about it later, looking at this, Li Xia is capable, so I can't make the relationship with him stiff, maybe later, my two sons The first son can still enjoy the glory, so he can't offend the second wife.Let's get rid of those little thoughts.
