Fields of Gold

Chapter 10: Mind Yourself

Yu Xiaoxue was unhappy: “Auntie, who do you think is pretending to be sick? My mother fainted yesterday, you didn't see! You're a good man. Let a patient work for you. You got a point? Don't pretend to be ill, ask Grandpa Yu to look at it! ”

Zhang's wife, nestled in the house, can't sit down: “Li Guihua, you lazy bitch! As soon as we get to the cooking point, no one will see us. We'll know when we get back! What are you doing? Why don't you go help yourself in the kitchen? ”

Please, Doctor, don't spend money!

Zhang Zheng walked to the kitchen door and said to the busy Liu Twilight Yunyin, "Hurry back to the house and rest. Your daughter is worried about you! ”

“What's wrong with being a girlfriend? Sit down, Mother. I'll serve you dinner!” Little Auntie Yu Cai Butterfly came out, and she and Lao San Yubo could calm the old lady at home.

Zhang Shi turned her head and saw the seafood in the hands of Yu Haifather and son. Her face turned clear and she smiled. “Give me the bucket! These seafood are fresh, they can be raised overnight, and you can have your brother deliver them to the town liquor store in the morning, and change some silver. ”

“Grandma, save some oysters. Let's steam it! I want to taste something!” Yu Xiaowei deliberately said.

Zhang's face suddenly pulled down, unhappy: “You haven't eaten much! Oyster town sells a few pennies a pound, don't be afraid to eat it! ”

Yuhai is also watching beside him. Otherwise, Zhang's words are even worse. She greeted her daughter and didn't even let go of the bucket in Yuhang's hands. She took them all to her room. Anything that can be exchanged for money must die in its own hands.

When he turned around, he saw the bamboo basket in Yu Xiaoshuang's hand. He turned to his mouth and said: "And your hand, bring it in too. ”

Little grass poured his little mouth, grieving: “Grandma, you took all the seafood away, I'll sell half a basket of seaweed and sea cabbage, and not many copper plates. Save it for Grandpa's cold dishes at night! ”

Zhang Shi stretched her head and looked at it. It was indeed a sea belt of green oil. "Just for once, it was high! From now on, everything in the family will be in my hands. Don't make any claims! ”

Yu Xiaoxu promised, waiting for Zhang's entry into the main house, and gave Xiaolian a look, carrying a small basket into the west house.

Yu Xiaolian's heart took an old tile can from the corner of the kitchen, filled with some water, and followed her into the house quietly behind her.

The sisters put the abalone hidden under the belt carefully in the tile tank. I couldn't sell it today, and Yu Xiao Xiao was not comfortable adding some spirit stone water to it, stuffing the can to a hidden place in the corner of the kang before coming out again with the sea belt.

Yuhai followed him in and saw the little movements of the two sisters. In the past, Xiaolian was a little prick in the family. Even Zhang's family dared to take over. For this reason, she was beaten up with verbal abuse. Now the little grass is not much of a jerk, but the ghost idea is more, the audacity is bold, a few silver abalone is obscure.

In the kitchen, the Liu family has already cooked dinner pretty much. Yu Xiaograss went in, mixed a garlic mud seaweed, made another sea cabbage soup, dinner was much richer than ever.

While eating, the rest of the men and women still sit separately. On the woman's side, one of them slapped a big black cake, only put some salted water to cook, one bowl of bean spoon.

The main food on the man's side is white noodles, noodles and potato powder mixed together, unlimited triple noodle noodles, stewed with oil, like the women and children's side of the dish. It has nothing to do with the inferiority of men. Men do it with energy. How can we not eat well?

Yu Xiaograss's handmade plate of salty, slightly spicy garlic mud seaweed and a pot of authentic sea cabbage soup won everyone's unanimous praise. Especially in the old days, the garlic and mud strip was harshly exaggerated.

Zhang Shi couldn't see that there was a hint of pride in the second room. As she ate the ribbon wire in her mouth, she said: “The second maid is quite capable, she can follow the sea and help cook. Doctor Yu said she was feeling better and I think the small stove could stop later. ”

Little grass is spraying rice congee with her fragrance. With a sip of rock, I sipped and drank it. I smelled Yan stretching his face. In the future, she will also eat pure coarse grain and loudspeas, as well as beans that are difficult to swallow. Aww, the pain! Luckily those abalone fish are not confiscated!!

The look on Grass's face seemed to please the Zhang family, and all the coarse grain cakes tasted like ginseng. She ate most of the ribbon wire.

Li's son, who was just as fat as she was, only picked vegetables into her mouth, and the other half of the seaweed and sea cabbage soup went into the stomach of both women. When the plate was finished, she pulled up her son, who wanted to gather at the men's table, and secretly returned to the house.

Little Grass knew that the two women were eating alone again.

When Li Shi just got married, her family was poor, or she would not marry the rest of the stepsons who were equally poor. In the past few years, her mother's brother had made money in a small business and her family was well off. The Li family is the younger sister and the only daughter of the old two. So every time I go home, my parents and sister-in-law subsidize it. Or can the rest of the family feed on the fat side of this bitch?

After dinner, all night long!

The next day, the sky just dawned. The West House Yuhai family started the kang.

Yuhai made an appointment with Zhao Hunter to go up the mountain to hunt. Yu Hangyu Xiaolian brothers and sisters, this is the time in the past, to go to the foot of the mountain to fight for swine grass and fetch firewood. The Liu family is already in the yard, holding a broom to clean the pork rings of the chicken rings.

Everyone at home is surprised that Yu Xiaoshuang is up so early. Yuhai touched her little head and smiled: “Sleep a little longer, it's not even dawn yet! ”

Yu Xiaograss remembered a big thing in her heart. Where can she sleep? "Little stones can help her work. How can I be a sister? Dad, hurry up, don't let Uncle Zhao wait. ”

Without further delay, Yuhai took the paper bag handed over by Liu Shi and wrapped two three-faced buns, kept the water bag between his waist, and took a homemade bow and a hunting fork out the door.

Yu Xiaograss removed yesterday's hidden tile tank from the bottom of the kang, and the abalone fish inside was nourished by the spirit stone water, making it more alive.

This kind of abalone can only be sold at a good price if you get it in a big winery. But she just came through. The village hasn't left. How do you know the way into town?

“Brother, is our village far from town?” Yu Xiaograss hugged the tile tank, while neither the main house nor the east house raised the kang, followed the Yu Hang brothers and sisters out the door.

Yu Hang looked at her with surprise and asked: "It's a long way away, it takes more than an hour to walk - why do you ask? You don't want to sell this in town, do you?” He said, pointing to the tile canister in her hand.

More than an hour? That won't last at least two hours! Yu Xiaograss looked down at his short leg and sighed. “Does our village have a carriage or cattle cart going to town or something? ”
