Chapter 408



After breakfast, Su Xia mixed two plastic buckets of pig feed for the pigs in the backyard.

The weather now is not good to put it on the side, so it is placed in Chen's mother's kitchen.

While doing this, Daya and Erya were also helping.

"Aunt, this doesn't seem that difficult?" Erya asked curiously.

Su Xia smiled and said nothing.

Daya said, "Although it's not complicated, look at what's inside. You have to buy bean dregs from the tofu factory in the county town. Many families in the village still use corn bran as food. And the most important thing is brown sugar. I only drink a few sips all year round. How can you make this?"

Erya sighed inwardly when she heard this. Actually, they didn't want to come. After all, this was also a recipe. How could they feel comfortable coming if their aunt didn't tell them?

But their mother kept whispering behind their backs, asking them to come and help.

Fortunately, my aunt-in-law really doesn't mind.

Su Xia knew that at this age, if a girl had a skill, she would be given a seat of honor when she went to her husband's house.

Chen's mother came over at this time and said, "Even if you knew, what would you think? Most families are not as generous as your aunt!"

Arya nodded thankfully upon hearing this, "Grandma, if the captain follows this method, how much will it cost?"

"snort....

Anyway, brown sugar is enough for him to indulge in!" Chen's mother said contemptuously.

Daya smiled and enthusiastically got some water for Su Xia to wash her hands.

Su Xia smiled at Daya and said, "You are becoming more and more beautiful."

Chapter 163, the little girl smiled shyly.

Su Xia looked at Erya again and said, "Erya is pretty too. I wonder which boy will marry her in the future?"

Erya also became shy, her cheeks flushed, and she looked at Su Xia embarrassedly.

Chen's mother....

She was still a little girl, with a thin skin. If you tease her twice, her face would turn red like a monkey's butt.

After Su Xia teased the little girl, she returned home and made a large bowl of noodles to prepare steamed buns.

This thing saves trouble. When I can't get up, Chen's mother and Niuniu can also heat up the meal.

The most comfortable place on this day was the cowshed, and old man Xie Chengbai also changed into thick cotton clothes and trousers.

He put on his own smock, which was made of several pieces of cloth. People who didn't know him couldn't tell what was inside.

There were also cotton-padded shoes, on which Zhao Yazhen had sewed several patches early in the morning.

Even Old Man Yi's was patched up while the two of them were eating.

"Uncle, you put it on first. When I'm done, I'll sew some socks for you and you can put it on at noon."

Old Man Yi nodded. Although there was food available, the three of them didn't dare to eat it to their heart's content.

Each person got a steamed bun and a sweet potato, but Zhao Yazhen only got one steamed bun.

The food was leftovers. Old Man Yi smacked his lips and said to the two of them, "How about we exchange it for some more pickles?"

Xie Chengbai nodded quickly, "That's fine, it goes perfectly with rice."

"The pickled vegetables in the village are very salty. If we use a smaller jar, it will be enough," Zhao Yazhen added.

Knock knock.....

There was a knock on the door and the three people immediately looked towards it.

Zhao Yazhen quickly hid the cotton cloth and put away the cotton shoes. After a quick look, she found nothing else. Xie Chengbai happened to open the door at this time.

Gu Zongwei wanted to wait for someone to come out before asking, but he couldn't wait any longer and just came over and knocked on the door.

After entering, I opened my eyes wide and wondered how the three people in front of me looked so healthy in just one night.

Especially the old man, his clothes looked almost worn out yesterday, but today he was still wearing the same clothes, but you could tell at a glance that he had a cotton coat and trousers underneath, and even his inner clothes could be seen at the collar.

Gu Zongwei wanted to hide his shock, but he couldn't, and the same was true when he looked at the other two people.

Thinking of my own thin cotton-padded clothes, which were all the cotton in the house, even my sons and daughters were still wearing thin clothes, and they just stayed on the kang with quilts covered on them every day.

My wife is getting thinner and thinner. She wears less and has to go out to cook and clean the room every day.

Gu Zongwei originally thought that he had calculated it very well, but he never expected that it would be useless here.

Zhao Yazhen pulled her husband's clothes, and Xie Chengbai immediately looked at Old Man Yi.

Old man Yi stood up and tried on the cotton shoes on his feet. They were warmer than single shoes.

He didn't hide anything and directly told me the source of everything. After hearing this, Gu Zongwei felt relieved for some reason.

But he felt that he didn't know anyone here, and he still had his son as a backer.

Then he returned to his previous attitude and spoke to the old man.

"Uncle Yi, could you please..."

Zhao Yazhen frowned in disgust. Although the words she said sounded good when put together, her tone made it sound like she had to agree to him, otherwise...

Just as Xie Chengbai was about to speak, Old Man Yi waved his hand.

"Yes, but the price is very high, and as for what you can buy, it depends on what they have!"

Gu Zongwei nodded. It seems that the ready-made cotton-padded clothes and trousers are not enough!

"No problem, old man, I thank you on behalf of my two little ones!"

"No, they are all high-priced. Everyone gets what they need."

Gu Zongwei nodded, then asked carefully, "Uncle Yi, who is this person? Is he reliable?"

Old Man Yi sneered inwardly, but said casually on the surface, "Oh, it's a villager, the eldest son of the Chen family. I guess you've heard about him. He's said to be working in the county town. His wife is a famous spendthrift daughter-in-law in the village. It's said that she has never worked."

Old man Yi was being truthful, so he spoke with a tone of contempt.

Xie Chengbai looked at his wife. Zhao Yazhen was also shocked and deeply admired the old man Yi's attitude.

After Gu Zongwei knew who it was, he had no doubts anymore. It was indeed the famous Su Xia family in the village, especially Su Xia, who was even more wasteful than their eldest daughter-in-law.

sneeze....

Su Xia wiped the tip of her nose gently and muttered, "Who is talking about me?"

"Mom, what are we having for dinner?"

It was the voice of the little brat Erbao again. Ever since he asked for a younger brother, he was severely beaten by Su Xia.

He started changing his strategy. When it was almost time for dinner, he would come over and shout, "I'm hungry" or "What do you want to eat?"

Or "Mom, I'm going to poop, you help me wipe my butt!"

"Mom, I don't have any toys. When will you buy me some?"

"Mom, when will we slaughter the pigs?"

Su Xia's ears have been buzzing these two days, and she finally grimaced when she saw Erbao.

Even Chen's father and mother were annoyed and wanted to persuade him at first.

Su Xia immediately said, "Mom and Dad, this matter is not negotiable. There are already three children in the family, and I don't want to raise any more."

Chen's father and mother sighed, and finally just left, mostly staying in the old house.

Erbao not only bothers Su Xia and Chen's father and mother, but also messes with Niuniu and Dabao.

"Sister, brother, let's fight with mother together and have a younger brother, okay?"

Niu Niu and Dabao looked helpless.

Erbao continued, "I want a younger brother so that I won't be the youngest in the family!"

This computer master recognized it and then began to ponder.

Niu Niu rolled her eyes and didn't want to pay any attention to her two silly brothers, so she walked away.

As for how the two younger brothers finally discussed it, that had nothing to do with her.
