Liu Shanhua finally stayed, oh, for one night.
Zhang Xiu'e is no longer the widow who brought her as a burden and stubbornly demanded a 200-yuan betrothal gift before she was willing to marry him.
She and society both had their own standards for measuring her worth. After a few years, Xu Niang had grown old and had two daughters. She no longer dared to insist on keeping Liu Shanhua...
Of course, the weight of Liu Shanhua in her heart was not enough for her to give up, so she had to keep her.
She cried and begged, but it was just a pretense. If it worked, it would work. If not, forget it.
Those things did not affect Wang Zhaozhao's mood much. Today the whole village was slaughtering a pig and distributing the meat. Even those who were reluctant to part with the meat would add more oil to the pot to make lard.
And in their family, her fourth aunt is going to make braised meat in the afternoon. What a wonderful life.
The aroma of braised meat is really overbearing.
This is only possible during the Chinese New Year. If it were any other time, I'd probably have to find a way to conceal the fragrance.
"Old man..." Xie Ailian felt a pang of pain in her heart. She felt that her ability to accept things would never catch up with that of Wang Zhaozhao and the others.
"Are you reluctant to give up that little bit of firewood?" Wang Dahai didn't understand why she had that expression.
"...Am I sick? I live in a mountain village, why would I be so stingy with firewood? I'm just stingy with the meat. Even if it's just pig's head, I can save it and eat it later. Now I've burned it all. What are we going to eat for the New Year?"
Xie Ailian felt her heart was bleeding.
Wang Dahai looked at her and said, "The braised meat is ready. Can't we eat it slowly?"
"ah?"
"Isn't it just like fried tiger skin meat?"
"yes!"
Xie Ailian clapped her hands and ran happily to help.
Wang Dahai looked at her cheerful back and was speechless.
He discovered that his wife had a dog-like face and could change at any time.
The braised meat, which smells delicious from miles away, is ready and comes out of the pot, steaming hot and fragrant.
Gulp!
Wang Zhaozhao and the others were drooling and swallowing hard.
"Fourth sister-in-law, let me help you taste it..." Shi Haiyan shamelessly rubbed over and raised her claws while speaking.
“Bang!”
No need to think, it was Xie Ailian who beat him.
"Go, go, go away. Let me cut some for you to taste. Don't gather here." Xie Ailian drove people away like ducks.
Wang Zhaozhao took a deep breath of the fragrance and took the lead in obediently stepping back.
Ah, it smells so good.
Shi Haiyan was even worse than some of the kids, dragging her feet and not wanting to leave. The main reason was that she was very self-aware and knew her own weight.
After Wang Zhaozhao and the others left, they would definitely be able to eat, but she was not sure.
Xie Ailian cut out a little of everything, of course picking out the edges and corners, and didn't expect to eat too much. Wang Zhaozhao and the others each had three slices of meat and five slices of pig lungs.
Shi Haiyan also only got one piece, and she felt very unwilling.
But when he saw that Zhang Xiu'e and Chen Meihe had nothing to eat, he felt balanced again.
Zhang Xiu'e was unwilling to give it to Xie Ailian, so Chen Meiru did not come near her.
As for his sons, excluding Wang Sibing, Wang Fangbing and Wang Sanbing are still working on the canal construction site and have not returned yet. Wang Erbing was implicated by Zhang Xiu'e and Liu Shanhua, and is particularly disliked by Xie Ailian.
"Oh, it smells so good..." Shi Haiyan took several bites of a piece of meat, only taking a tiny bit at a time, and still exclaimed exaggeratedly.
In order to irritate Zhang Xiu'e, she didn't even try to coax Wang Weiguo to eat the braised meat and braised pig lungs in his bowl. She was very dedicated.
Wang Zhaozhao and his friends did not eat too little, and they ate it very carefully, but they finished it quickly.
Wang Baojia licked his lips with satisfaction, but he didn't cry and make a fuss for more like he did before.
After collecting the bowls, Wang Zhaozhao quietly pulled Wang Xingwen.
Three minutes later, the two met under a jujube tree far outside the yard. Without waiting for Wang Xingwen to ask, Wang Zhaozhao took the initiative to tell them.
"Brother, I want to go get a pot of wine. Will you come with me?"
"Does grandma know?"
Wang Xingwen asked a soul-searching question, and Wang Zhaozhao blinked and forced a toothless smile.
Okay, they don’t know.
Wang Xingwen spoke again, "You need to bring a bottle to get the wine."
Yes.
No bottle...
"How about using my salt water bottle filled with hot water for heating?" Wang Zhaozhao thought of an idea.
"...Okay." The bottle was given to her by the school security guard last year. Wang Xingwen knew that she would use it to warm her hands, bed, and feet.
Wang Zhaozhao ran back quickly and quietly brought the bottle out.
Well.
There's still water in it.
The two of them poured the water as they walked.
"Do we need to rinse it with water?" Wang Zhaozhao asked.
"There's water there for us to wash ourselves in when we get there." Wang Xingwen took Wang Zhaozhao and instead of going down the valley, they climbed up.
There is an elderly widower in their village who is almost ninety years old. Decades ago, his three sons died in troubled times, and later his wife also died. He never remarried and lived alone.
According to seniority, Wang Zhaozhao should call him Fifth Great Uncle.
The fifth uncle loves drinking and is good at making wine. Other people in the village who like wine would go to him from time to time to buy some wine, or just drink some grape wine.
He only charged two cents for a glass of wine.
If you buy a pound of wine at the supply and marketing cooperative, it would cost 35 cents, but he only charged 30 cents.
Taking his situation into consideration, the brigade turned a blind eye and tacitly approved of it.
The fifth great uncle's house was at the highest point in the village. It was a single house without a yard. He was surprised to see Wang Zhaozhao and Wang Xingwen coming.
"Fifth Great Uncle."
"Fifth Great Uncle."
Wang Xingwen and Wang Zhaozhao both called for help.
