"Okay, I just finished tutoring Xiaoxue in junior high school, so they can study together!"

He Xiaoyu felt that she finally had it, and nodded quickly in agreement.

She was always afraid that her family background would have an impact on Lu Xinghe.

But I am not strong enough.

He didn't earn many work points and became a burden to Lu Xinghe.

So as long as Lu Xinghe wanted it, she would agree to do anything.

Seeing this, Lu Xinghe pulled He Xiaoyu up.

"Then I'll thank you for your hard work during this period."

How could he not know what He Xiaoyu was thinking? However, the inferiority complex that was engraved in her bones needed time to heal.

Lu Xinghe could only encourage her with little things in life.

Marry a virtuous woman.

This is the truth that Lu Xinghe only understood after he turned thirty.

He pursued He Xiaoyu, apart from the inner demons and unwillingness of his past.

It is also because He Xiaoyu came from a prominent family, was well-educated and received a good education since childhood.

Of course it is also related to He Xiaoyu's amazing appearance.

A virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations. In this life, he has the memory of his previous life.

There is so much to do.

Having a stable support from behind is definitely much better than having a wife who makes trouble every day.

"It's not hard." He Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Then I'll trouble you with one more thing." Lu Xinghe continued to press forward.

"Take this piece of meat and exchange it for some rice at my house. This dish today will be useless without rice.

By the way, I asked my mother and Xinglin to come over to help make the kang, and invite them to come over for dinner. ”

"Ah? Am I okay?" He Xiaoyu was a little confused when she heard this. Why didn't Lu Xinghe go home by himself?

"Okay, it's a good opportunity to meet your future mother-in-law. My family situation is complicated. If I take the meat,

Not to mention exchanging it for rice, even the meat will be taken away! ”

He Xiaoyu nodded, clenched his fists, and cheered himself up madly.

After practicing it over and over in her mind many times, she finally mustered up the courage, took the meat from Lu Xinghe's hand, and pushed the door open.

good!

Isn’t this the first step to building self-confidence!

Lu Xinghe nodded, and felt even more satisfied when he looked at the piece of wild boar neck meat in He Xiaoyu's hand.

When Fan's family ordered meat, not only his mother and he, but even his eldest brother couldn't eat it.

All of them were sent to Cao Guizhi's younger brother.

The most inedible part of the wild boar is the meat on the neck.

That piece of meat is also called lymphatic meat!

For example, Cao Guizhi made it for everyone generously during dinner.

Lu Xinghe would naturally secretly exchange a piece of good meat from the space.

Change this piece of meat.

It would be embarrassing if I gave it to her brother.

Taking advantage of He Xiaoyu's absence, Lu Xinghe continued to be busy.

He Xiaoxue has a bad stomach and can't eat too much stir-fried pork or stir-fried meat with mushrooms because they are hard to digest.

Lu Xinghe pulled out two more carrots from the private plot next to the yard.

As soon as winter came, the radishes had not yet been stored in the vegetable cellar. That was Wang Nizi's family's private plot. The two families had a good relationship, so there was no burden for them to share the land.

When we kill a wild boar and distribute the meat to the whole village, we should give more to her family.

As the fried meat and mushrooms came out of the pot, the lard boiling outside the yard also emitted a golden glow.

The milky white oil seemed to be dancing in the porcelain bowl.

Rub the dried chilies into powder and sprinkle it on top. Even Lu Xinghe couldn't help but take a big bite!

People in this era eat a lot and have big appetites but still feel full because there is no oil in the food.

This oil is a rare good thing. No matter what you cook with a little bit of it, it will smell amazing!

"Xiaoxue, put it down, you can't eat this."

"Ah? Brother-in-law! You bully me whenever I see you!" He Xiaoxue wanted to take advantage of the situation but was caught by Lu Xinghe.

She pouts, turns her head away, stretches out her little hand and starts drawing circles on Lu Xinghe's palm.

"Hey, why would I bully you? Your stomach is not well yet, you can't eat such greasy food.

Don't worry, this big bowl of oily food is saved for you. Once your stomach is healed, you can eat it in a few days. ”

After hearing this explanation, He Xiaoxue stuck out her tongue, and looked at her cheap brother-in-law who she liked more and more. She lowered her head and embarrassedly helped wash the carrots.

But those hands that kept touching her made He Xiaoxue's ears burn.

. . . . . .

The other side.

He Xiaoyu protected the piece of meat behind her and came to Lu Xinghe's home avoiding the villagers.

At this time, wisps of green smoke were already rising from the chimney of the house.

In the yard, Lu's mother was leading a little girl to chop firewood.

The little girl is about the same age as Xiaoxue, and her body is as thin as Xiaoxue.

The axe, which even a child could lift, seemed particularly heavy in the little girl's hands.

"Hello, is this Lu Xinghe's home? I'm He Xiaoyu, an educated youth from the village. I want to trade some meat for some rice."

In fact, He Xiaoyu didn't introduce them like this. There are only so many people in the village, and you can see them everywhere if you look up or down.

They can also get to know each other.

It was just her first time facing her mother-in-law, so she always wanted to be more formal.

"Ah? Meat! Meat for rice!!"

Before Lu's mother stood up, Cao Fengzhi, who was cooking in the house, trotted into the yard.

"Change! Change, how do you change it?"

Before He Xiaoyu could react, Cao Guizhi snatched the meat and put it behind her.

"I...just want an equal exchange..."

He Xiaoyu had never bought meat from the county supply and marketing cooperative, so she didn't know the price.

At this time, Cao Guizhi saw He Xiaoyu's appearance, curled her lips and showed a disdainful expression.

I also started to think about it in my mind.

This little vixen, I don't know which man she seduced to get the meat, this meat is not worthy of someone like her.

I got it cheap and gave it to my brother as a gift!

It just so happened that he was studying hard and needed to eat some meat to nourish his brain.

Thinking of this, Cao Guizhi raised his eyebrows.

"He Zhiqing, you know that it's winter now and rice is very precious. I think you only have about three pounds of meat.

How about this, I'll give you three pounds of rice. ”

Meat can now be purchased with tickets, at 70 cents per pound.

Rice costs nine cents a pound with a ticket!

Anyone can see that there is a problem here.

He Xiaoyu frowned slightly when she heard that, and at this moment she finally understood what Lu Xinghe had said before.

She already said it was an equal exchange, but this sister-in-law still said this.

If Lu Xinghe came, it would be hard to say what would happen.

He Xiaoyu also saw Lu's mother trying to raise her hands to stop him several times.

She even noticed Lu Xinglin's expression as he stared at his sister-in-law.

"A little more, please."

He Xiaoyu was well aware of the principle of closeness and distance, and when she came to her senses, she spoke firmly in a low voice.

"At most four pounds, didn't you say..."

"At least 20 kilograms! Otherwise I won't change it, just give me back the meat!"

He Xiaoyu is just inferior, not stupid.

This ratio was calculated based on the prices of rice and meat before going to the countryside.

Especially when I saw Mother Lu nodding slightly, I became more certain that the ratio was correct.

"Oh my god, forget it, I want to exchange for 20 kilograms of rice, who can have so much~

Don’t even mention that you are an educated youth. Even if the king of heaven comes, you can’t change it! Ten kilograms at most! ”

Cao Guizhi believed that whatever she got was hers, and thought that since she didn't have to go to work today, she gave the meat to her brother in the afternoon.

By that time, there will be no meat left, and even if Lu Xinghe comes, there will be no point in making trouble!

"Ten kilograms is fine." He Xiaoyu replied immediately.

When the meat was being distributed just now, Lu Xinghe had said that wild boar meat had a strong fishy smell and was about half the price of domestic pork.

If domestic pork can be exchanged for 20 kilograms, then wild boar meat can be exchanged for just 10 kilograms! !

When Cao Guizhi heard this, she thought that she had frightened the female educated youth.

He happily went into the house to load the rice.

Taking this opportunity, He Xiaoyu asked Lu's mother and Lu Xinglin for help in making the kang.

Although Lu's mother hasn't eaten yet, she is a kind person.

You know, at this temperature, you will freeze to death if you don’t heat the kang at home.

Seeing that He Xiaoyu was still wearing such thin clothes, he agreed without any hesitation.

He entered the room and said hello to Cao Guizhi and Lu Xingkong.

Helped to carry the rice out.

Cao Guizhi laughed out loud when she saw this.

"Who says that educated youth are smart after graduating from high school? Aren't they still at a disadvantage at my hands?

It would be a blessing for your Lu family to marry me. It just so happens that there are two burdens at home, so let’s cook the porridge a little drier today.

Let’s have a good meal! ”

Lu Xingkong looked displeased when he heard this: "Don't say that about my mother and my sister."

"I was wondering what's going on! You want to learn from your brother too! What? You want to bully me too! Do you have the ability to do that? If you have the ability, why don't you do it at night!

You little bastard, you only know how to make me a widow every day. . . . ”
