Upon opening her eyes, Shen Qing found herself in a mud-and-thatch hut, wearing clothes covered in patches, eating corn paste, and seeing no trace of meat or oil. Shen Qing: This is too miserable! ...
Chapter 359 They really want to know who that woman is
Every household in the village is busy preparing dinner.
The Lei family did not have to open up new land and had no shortage of meat, but Lei Dafu and his companions who had been away had returned safely and earned wages, so they prepared an extra-rich dinner.
Steamed bacon and sausage, game stewed with sauerkraut, and the lard scraps bought from Shen Qing - not pickled or dried, tastes great.
"Mom, I'm going out for a while." Lei Dafu shouted towards the kitchen and went out with something in his arms.
It was only the afternoon, but the sky was already dark, as if a sign of heavy snow was coming.
Liu Cuihua ran out holding a spatula and asked anxiously, "It's going to snow heavily today. Where are you going?"
Don’t go to Cao’s house!
"I'm going to Huludi to look for Mengzi. He asked me to bring him something before." Lei Dafu replied without turning his head.
Hearing that they were going to find Feng Meng, Liu Cuihua breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the kitchen with a spatula.
The whole village knew that Feng Meng didn't make it to Chenzhou!
He hated Master Song and his group with gnashing teeth. Let's put it this way, if muttering can make people sneeze, I'm afraid Master Song has not stopped these days.
The kitchen was crowded with people. Apart from the two sisters-in-law Fang Ting and Ma Pandi who were helping out, there was a group of children, both big and small, all crowded in the kitchen.
She said with a smile, "Ergui Daman, you are all adults now, why are you still huddled here with your brothers and sisters waiting for food?"
Fang Ting also laughed and joked: "We have all been to Chenzhou and seen the world. How can we still be greedy for food? What? Didn't you eat anything delicious in Chenzhou?"
Lei Daman said with a smile: "Why haven't you eaten? Xiangbei treated us to more than ten meals!
There was meat at every meal, and we even had mutton buns! They were delicious.”
"But no matter how delicious it is, it can't compare to the taste of home, especially the ones made by my aunt, which are getting better and better!"
Eating meals at home makes you feel safe and comfortable.
"The reason why my aunt's cooking is getting better and better is because she learned it from Shen Qing's house. You greedy cats, if the food at home is not delicious, will you miss the taste of home?" Liu Cuihua laughed.
"How can that be possible?"
Ma Pandi added, "You two should learn from your elder brother. He's so calm! When he comes back, he doesn't think about food, but remembers his promise and thinks about giving the food to others first."
Lei Ergui and Lei Daming glanced at each other, humming and not daring to speak.
What does it mean to not forget the agreement? If you didn't forget the agreement, why didn't you take it out when you met up in the village? You'd have been back from outside by then, so you must have had it with you.
Feng Meng was running around and jumping around, more excited than anyone else, and it was hard to ignore him!
What does it mean that Big Brother didn't give it to me? It means that this thing is not for Feng Meng!
Especially the basket of big meat buns before the trip, it is obvious who it is for.
But they didn't dare to say it, not even a hint.
In fact, since they grew up, their eldest brother has never beaten them, but for some reason, they are afraid of their eldest brother, afraid of him from the bottom of their hearts, even more afraid of him than their parents!
The eldest brother asked them not to say it, and they really didn't dare to say it.
I'm just really curious, which girl is the eldest brother sending the gift to...and who is their sister-in-law?
Liu Cuihua looked at the two silent brothers and asked with concern, "Are you worried about something? Why are you acting so abnormal?"
As soon as she mentioned it, their mothers immediately became alert and looked at them in unison, analyzing, "That's right! In the past, they would chirp louder than sparrows when they came back, but today it's too quiet."
"Are you in love with a girl? Are you thinking about her?"
Lei Ergui and Lei Daming: ...I am indeed thinking about girls, but not the ones they like, but the ones my eldest brother likes!
This is more irritating than their own desire to know!
Seeing that the two did not refute, Fang Ting and Ma Pandi were extremely surprised.
Liu Cuihua, who was cooking with a spatula, suddenly felt that the meat was no longer fragrant.
Well, if it was hers, I would even let her not eat meat for a year.
If she were the eldest, she would be willing to do it for three years, not to mention one year!
No, no, it won't do any good to her future daughter-in-law if she doesn't eat meat. It seems like she's moved by the fact that she doesn't eat meat!
She changed it to whoever wants to marry the eldest brother, and she would take out half of her family property to make silver bracelets, silver hairpins, silver earrings and silver necklace for her future daughter-in-law!
The other sons should not argue. After all, the head of the family was injured, and the family's livelihood was carried by the eldest son alone, which delayed his lifelong event.
At this age, the girl is not dissatisfied and is willing to marry the eldest brother. She is willing to give anything for him.
Lei Dafu went down the mountain and did not walk through the bridge in the center of the village. Instead, he took a detour to the wooden bridge at the entrance of the village and crossed it.
The ground was overgrown with weeds and thatch taller than a person. Under the gray sky, he was walking and saw a person peeking in front of him.
It seemed as if his two legs were of different lengths, and he walked with a limp, which looked very unnatural.
The only person with a leg disease in the village is Guan Xiaoshan, and this person's figure is obviously not that of a thirteen-year-old boy!
Lei Dafu frowned, hid behind the thatch, and stared at the man in front of him.
When the other person looked back from the side, he found that it was Cao Da!
What was he doing here? Was he here to visit Pinggu and her four daughters?
When Cao Da walked around the back of the brush workshop, Lei Dafu was sure that Cao Da was not here to visit Pinggu and her daughter.
Because the team returned today and there were guests visiting, Shen Qing gave the brush workshop half a day off, and everyone went home to reunite with their families.
The house where Pinggu and her friends lived had not been built yet, so they naturally returned to the brush workshop.
Whenever Cao Da and Cao Youcai met Pinggu in the past, they were both outside the workshop. How could they leave the workshop and go somewhere else?
Lei Dafu followed and stepped forward...
*
Shen Qing hasn't stopped since he came back!
First, Xiaoyu Ali and I prepared a sleeping room for Sumu and the other three - they were friends of Jiang Xiangnan, and since they wanted to do beef and mutton business with their family, it was natural for them to live in their own house.
Only the west wing of the house was empty, but to save trouble, no stove was built, so the kang could not be heated. How could guests be entertained in winter?
Jiang Xiangdong and Huo Bing went to Bashu. The two little kids stayed with their aunt Xiaoshui at night. Their rooms were empty. Farmers didn't care which room could be lived in and which room couldn't. Sometimes they would even vacate the best room for guests first.
However, Shen Qing still removed all the mattresses and quilts from Huo Bing's bed and replaced them with brand new, unused ones. He also placed mattresses and quilts on the two people sleeping on the floor.
After Ah Bing and the other person come back, I will change their bedding and put away the ones that the guests have slept on, keeping them for guests to use in the future.
The river water over there has been boiled hot for the four people to bathe.
The steaming hot shower room was as warm as spring, shocking Sumu and his three companions who hadn't had a bath the entire winter.
