As soon as Jiang Kexin was born, her parents arranged a childhood engagement for her. However, within five days, the boy choked to death while nursing.
At five years old, another engagement w...
She didn't know whether having an extra sister-in-law to love her would make her feel better, but thinking about the future when her sons would all get married, she would have more things to think about, so she had to remind her daughter a few things.
"Jiu'er, it's a good thing that you helped your brothers get rich, but they will all get married in the future. You have to distribute the work and the money you get. Don't let someone who works more get less money, and someone who works less get more money, complain to us later. We won't accept your complaints!"
"I know I'm being selfish when I say this, but when people are poor, nothing matters to them. Everyone is just focused on making money. But when they have money, their perspective changes. So, you have to be careful!"
Ke Xin thought carefully about what her mother said and realized that there was nothing wrong with it.
"Mom, I understand. I'll make arrangements."
As for how to arrange it, she hasn't figured it out yet, but she will make a decision as soon as possible to avoid a quarrel and making things awkward. Grandpa also hopes for family harmony, which is the old man's lifelong wish.
At noon, Liu Feiyang and Qi Lu came back happily with a few pheasants and a robe tied to their horses, wanting to show off to their brothers-in-law.
In the kitchen, the aunts who were busy cooking looked at the prey and praised Liu Feiyang: "Look at how good our nephew's son-in-law is. Our Jiuer really found a good son-in-law."
Zhuo Qiaohong also echoed her eldest sister-in-law's words: "That's right, my niece's husband comes from a wealthy family, and this child is still very strong. In our village for many years, I haven't seen anyone catch a robe, but these two children caught one with one move."
She is both talented in literature and martial arts. My sister-in-law's family really gave birth to a good daughter.
The brothers-in-law in the yard were all milling about in robes, and one of them looked alive, and they were all amazed.
"Brother-in-law is really amazing. These things are all in the deep mountains. People in our village rarely go into the mountains for fear of encountering tigers."
"Well, brother-in-law, it's not safe in the mountains, especially after it snows. Wild animals come out looking for food. If you run into them, they will attack you. It's not safe."
If he is accidentally eaten by a wild beast, I will be so worried. What if he doesn't die when we get married, but dies after the wedding? Then I will become a widow, right?
Liu Feiyang felt warm at the concern of his brothers-in-law. He did not refute them, but insisted: "I will remember what you said. If I go hunting in the mountains in the future, I will bring more people with me."
Qi Lu watched everyone coldly and saw that these guys were sincere to him. Moreover, this guy was not arrogant, but agreed to it. This opened his eyes.
She whispered in his ear, "I didn't expect you to be obedient sometimes."
Liu Feiyang forced a smile on his face, but gritted his teeth and said to the person beside him: "What do you care about me?"
"Tsk, I don't care!"
Liu Feiyang glanced at his back. He wanted someone to take care of him, but no one did. Poor kid.
While we were eating, Brother Fu and Brother Wu came back at mealtime, with a load of meat on their ox cart. All of it was just as she said, with more lean meat and less fat. When they were buying the meat, they didn't know how happy the butcher was. It was originally thirteen cents a pound, but later he directly gave them ten cents. Of course, he asked for a lot, almost two thousand pounds of pork, and their family almost wanted all the lean meat in the vegetable market.
They also bought all the pig intestines in the market, and even other offal. Anyway, this thing tastes very good when cooked, it just takes a little time, and their family can make things faster if they do more of the work.
Jiang Wu sorted the meat in the car, while Jiang Fu went to settle the bill with Ke Xin, but was interrupted by Ke Xin: "Brother, those are just small matters, let's talk about it after dinner!"
Jiang Fu touched his stomach and heard it growling. He was hungry after being busy all morning, so he listened to his sister and said it would not be too late to talk after dinner. After that, he went out and called Jiang Wu, and they went to wash their hands together.
After the meal, Feiyang tactfully cleaned up the game, while Qi Lu squatted in the greenhouse, carefully picking the strawberries in the greenhouse. When he saw the ripe ones, he picked them up and counted them silently in his mind so that he could settle the bill with his aunt when he went out later.
There's nothing I can do. Strawberries are really an appetizing fruit in winter. After picking the strawberries, I start looking for ripe cucumbers. I pick them, wipe them on my sleeves, and start eating them directly.
While eating, I observed the greenhouse. It is really a clever idea to grow vegetables in such a simple greenhouse. Who came up with this idea?
There were twenty or thirty people standing in the yard, each holding a kitchen knife, waiting for Jiang Fu to assign tasks.
He pointed at a pile of pork on the ground like a manager and said, "Chop all the meat into thin slices and put ten pounds into a basin. The wages are thirty cents per person."
After hearing this, everyone was immediately very happy. After cleaning the pork, they started slicing it. This job was simple and not tiring. When they were asked to bring kitchen knives to the village chief's house, everyone was guessing what they were going to do. They didn't expect it was to cut meat.
So, they started working in groups. Since there were not enough chopping boards at home, they went home to get their own. They chatted and laughed while doing the work. Thirty cents was too easy for these people who were busy in the kitchen all year round.
In the kitchen in the next yard, Ke Xin taught Jiang Hui how to scrape the intestines, and then taught Jiang Fu how to prepare the ingredients. Jiang Fu memorized the ingredients in his head and heart, even though there were more kinds of seasonings, he could still memorize them by silently reciting them.
"Brother Fu, these are the ingredients for every ten pounds of meat. After you mix the ingredients with the meat, pour it into the small intestine that Brother Hui cleaned out. Then use embroidery thread to trap it every ten centimeters. Then, hang it up and dry it in the sun. Remember, don't let mice or cats bite it."
Jiang Fu took Ke Xin's words to heart: "Don't worry, I've got them all!"
"Okay, then you do as I say. I'll watch."
The five-spice sausages made this time were 80% lean and 20% fat. The seasonings were all available, so it was easy to make. However, when the brothers were enemaing the sausages, they used too much force and couldn't puncture them. So Ke Xin found a few women and asked them to try it. They found that it was really good. Although there were some leaks in the front, the rest of the sausages were still good.
At this moment, Jiang Fu decided to pay these capable people to do it, and he would only be responsible for mixing the ingredients.
At night, Ke Xin lay in her familiar bed, but she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. She tossed and turned. Fei Yang stopped her from behind and asked with a heavy nasal voice, "What's wrong?"
"fine."
The corners of his mouth curled up, he turned over and looked at the person under him, hooked her chin, and looked at her in the moonlight outside the window: "How about...doing something meaningful?"
If this woke up the person next door, he really wanted to kick him down. He turned over and turned his back to him: "Sleep."
Just go to sleep, it’s not like he doesn’t want to sleep. Feiyang curled his lips helplessly and lay down again. But just after closing his eyes for a while, he suddenly opened them and quickly put on his clothes.
Ke Xin propped up half of her body and looked at him: "Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"There's an assassin, go into the secret garden!"
As soon as she heard the word assassin, the slight sleepiness that Ke Xin had felt disappeared, and she quickly put on her clothes out of fear.
