"Old Chief, there is another quilt that was also sent over, but my wife said it's a bit thin. Add some cotton and I'll send it to you tomorrow night!"
Chen Jianguo came later and was not idle either. While talking in a low voice, he also cleaned up the room for the old man.
The room now has changed a lot from when I first came here.
The newspapers originally reached halfway up the adobe walls, but now they reach the roof.
There was also a curtain full of cloth at the window, and from the outside, it was impossible to tell what was going on inside.
There was a kang mat on the kang, and the old man's original quilt. Although Zhao Yazhen had filled it with some cotton, it was still thin.
Old man Yi didn't care and he always slept in cotton clothes and trousers.
Then there is a stove facing the kang, with only a clay pot on it for boiling water.
I used to use this to cook rice porridge when I ate by myself before.
Old man Yi did not respond, because in his eyes, there was only food to eat.
The pig-killing dish contains meat, all of which is white meat with alternating fat and lean meat.
I ate a few mouthfuls of the blood sausage, licked my fingers as I took it, and finished two steamed buns.
The space is mainly occupied by blood sausage. Looking at the pile of food on the side, I feel satisfied. Those little brats are okay.
As for Chen Jianguo in front of him, he was even more rude. After spending a few times with him, he found that this man was honest and reliable, not the legendary prodigal daughter-in-law.
Humph - her parents-in-law and husband don't dislike her, but the villagers are jealous.
Who made us work so hard to earn work points, but we still didn't do as well as others who passed the exam?
Thinking of the good things he had hidden, he paused in his eating. No - he had to go back and find something good to eat and give them all to Jianguo's wife. This meal is so delicious!
When Chen Jianguo returned, he took back everything he had brought with him, mainly the bowls and chopsticks for cooking.
You can't always bring it and leave it behind, that would be a huge waste.
After everyone left, Old Man Yi didn't wash or rinse his mouth. He was almost rustic anyway, so why should he be so particular?
I hid all the food I brought with me, and then lay down with my clothes on. Today I can have a satisfying sleep, eat my fill, and eat well.
But before going to bed, I thought of the young couple next door. There was just half a dish left, and four steamed buns, which would be perfect for tomorrow morning.
Close your eyes and breathe slowly and evenly.
Chen Jianguo took advantage of the night and went home. His eyelashes and nose were all frosted. He had hoped that his wife would not sleep so that they could have a romantic night.
But Su Xia got up early this morning, worked herself to the bone, and as soon as the man left, she lay down and quickly fell asleep.
Waiting for a man.....Hehe....
Chen Jianguo had no choice but to undress quickly and lie down in the warm bed. A chill made Su Xia shudder, but she was still in a deep sleep and did not wake up.
Chen Jianguo smiled dotingly, held her in his arms, and closed his eyes.
Second, Mr. and Mrs. Xie Chengbai were not surprised to see the steamed buns and greasy food. Instead, they wondered in their hearts, "Mr. Yi, does he have any unknown children here?"
Old Man Yi was unaware of the couple's suspicions and continued, "We still have three pounds of meat. Yazhen, boil it into lard today, so that we will have oil in the future."
When Zhao Yazhen heard this, she was happier than if she had calculated a number herself.
I put the meat on the chopping board and planned to start cooking it after breakfast.
Old Man Yi looked at Xie Chengbai again and said, "I still have some food. I'll bring it back slowly. Don't feel bad about it, you two. Don't be stingy with the food. If your health is broken, everything else will be in vain."
Xie Chengbai was shocked and instantly understood what the old man meant. Finally, he nodded, a gleam in his eyes, and then he became more determined.
When the three of them gathered in the cowshed again, they had cotton gloves they had made themselves on their hands, and hats on their heads that were also made by the two women.
Gu Zongwei could clearly smell the scent coming from the two people beside him.
I had a guess in my mind, "Uncle Yi, Xiao Xie, I have some meat, I'll share half with you later!"
Xie Chengbai was stunned, then looked at the old man.
Old Man Yi was not afraid at all, and even waved his hand and said, "No need, we will buy it directly from the Chen family."
Gu Zongwei didn't show any change in expression when he heard this, instead he looked happy.
"That's fine. We've been broke for so long, and we have to thank the Chen family!"
"Brother Gu, what you said is true. We have paid the money, okay? And Chen Jian charges more than the black market price, a full one dollar and fifty cents. If it were before, it would be enough to buy two pounds of meat." Although Xie Chengbai was chatting, his words quickly explained the relationship between them.
Old Man Yi took a look and felt relieved, at least he knew the depth of the situation.
The doubts in Gu Zongwei's heart disappeared at this moment, and he said, how come the eldest brother of the Chen family is related to old man Yi.
It turns out that the high price attracted people.
But I understand this. The thing that people who come here have the most is money.
While the three were busy, the smell of boiling lard came from both houses.
"Mom, Aunt Zhao is also making lard!" Little Gu Zhixia ran in and said to her mother.
"Well, go play!" Yan Ziqing waved her hand, knowing that the other party had a way.
Zhao Yazhen also guessed where the meat next door came from, but it didn’t matter. She should just live her own life well.
Su Xia didn't know the truth, but her own pork almost aroused deep suspicion in the cowshed.
But it was quickly covered up, and this would completely turn into a business of selling meat at high prices.
sneeze....
He wiped his nose and said puzzledly, "Who is talking about me?"
Then I started to add cotton to yesterday's quilt.
Bang.....
The door was knocked open and Su Xia looked over immediately.
Then a little cannonball rushed in, yelling, "Mom, when are we going back to our home in the county town?"
Su Xia...
Finally, a wow came from Su Xia's house...
It was all the crying of Erbao. Chen's father and mother, who were passing by, ran back to the old house in an instant.
"Mom, what happened to Erbao?" Xia Lai Di asked curiously.
We were having fun here just now, why did you start crying when you came back?
Wow...
Mother Chen shook her head. How could she say that? Her little grandson had to go back to school so that the eldest son could have a younger brother.
In the yard, Goudan, Liuya and Gou Wa couldn't help but cover their little butts out of fear.
He was crying so loudly, he must have been beaten severely.
Chen Jiandang, Chen Jianjun and Liu Chunxia also came out and looked towards the next room curiously.
Even Daya and the other older kids were curious and felt a little distressed.
Father Chen went straight back to his room, too embarrassed to tell the real reason.
Mother Chen looked at the crowd, wondering why they all loved to watch the fun?
Wow...
Erbao curled up on the kang, with his butt sticking out and his face buried in the pillow, crying loudly.
Su Xia stood on the ground, holding a table in her hand, and yelled, "If you keep clamoring for a brother, I'll beat your ass into pieces!"
Niu Niu and Dabao behind them took a step back in fright. When we were two years old, we were also beaten, but it was never so loud. Mom also slapped them twice, and it definitely hurt, but it was not to the point of redness.
The two of them looked at Erbao at the same time. Why was his butt sticking out? It was because he had been beaten and it was red and swollen.
Su Xia snorted. It was really not possible not to beat the naughty child!
