Farmhouse is so old
Chapter 25
The three brothers crowded together and sat at a table, and all the faces were full of smiles during the meal.Old man Zhou looked at this scene, feeling very beautiful in his heart.The same is true of the children and grandchildren, and the dream that I have been looking forward to for a lifetime has finally come true today.
"Second brother, third brother, elder brother toasts you, I'm sorry for all these years, it's my fault for being the eldest brother." Zhou Dagui raised his glass to compensate the two younger brothers for being drunk.
"Brother is serious"
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Zhou Dachang and Zhou Dafu replied with some discomfort when they heard the words from the heart of the elder brother.
"Brother, our younger brothers also did something wrong," Zhou Dachang said with admiration after having a drink with Zhou Dafu and Zhou Dagui.
Originally brothers, they were born as if they were incompatible. They were always angry and wanted to show off in front of each other. After several times, everyone disliked each other and always wanted to overwhelm the other two. This childish behavior until After getting married and having children, it intensifies, and even the younger generation is influenced by adults.In the end, it was really hard to go on, so the old man Zhou took the initiative to ask for a separation.
It is wrong to say that it is for earning family property. The Zhou family is neither poor nor rich. In the past, they only had a few acres of land and a few taels of silver, and they had nothing to offer except people.Old man Zhou saw that his three sons were running around the whole family because of trivial matters, and his old woman was also messing around, so he decided to separate the family.Otherwise, the three sons would soon become enemies.
Sure enough, the family was separated, and the house became much quieter, and the old woman stopped making troubles.I live with the eldest son, of course I give him the most, the second child and the third child get less, and I don't like the son of the third child who only listens to his wife, and there is also Zhou Qing, who is divided. Theirs counts as the worst portion.
He has always disliked this guy, because the guys he has met in his heart have no good prospects, and a good man insists on being that woman dressed in red and green, and it is disgusting to look at.It has to be said that old man Zhou is simply a steel straight man who can't be straighter.
Now that Brother Qing has grown up, he hasn't acted like that woman, and this week the old man only looks at him differently.Seeing Zhou Qing treat his great-grandchildren so well, all the dissatisfaction with him was gone from the bottom of his heart.
Reunion and reunion, today is the real family reunion, four generations live together, the family is talking and laughing.
As for the Liu family, everyone happily sat down at a table of delicious food, and even Mrs. Liu, who was usually eccentric and eccentric, faded from her cloudy face and smiled happily.From the day she married Liu Shu, the Liu family has been doing well.The mother-in-law is capable, the husband and the brother-in-law are also harmonious, everyone works hard together, and lives a happy life. Since Zhou Xiaohua got married, these things have changed. It was okay at first, but later she always used her family to subsidize her mother’s family. It’s nothing. .
Since Liu Tiantian fell ill, the family sold the land and borrowed money and finally cured her, but the family also collapsed.The family didn't eat the next meal. Zhou Xiaohua's daughter is a treasure, so isn't her son a treasure?She also felt sorry for her husband who worked outside day and night to pay off his debts, and she also felt sorry for her son who didn't have enough food and clothing, and wanted her to have a good face, how could it be possible.
Now that she can use Zhou Dahua's brother-in-law to stand up and treat her son no differently from Liu Tiantian, she feels balanced.Otherwise, don't blame her for speaking badly, after all, whoever is born is treated like a cow or horse for others, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly.
Zhou Xiaohua doesn't know what her sister-in-law thinks. She is grateful for her elder brother and sister-in-law's dedication. She always rushes to do any work on weekdays. Even if her sister-in-law speaks badly, she doesn't take it to heart.If it were her sister-in-law, would she be able to do this for her? She didn't hesitate at all, and she really owed her sister-in-law a huge debt of gratitude. Even Tiantian was brought up by her nephew.
I kept thinking that if I had the opportunity, I would repay her as a cow and a horse, but she was a peasant woman who didn't know how to make money, and her mouth was clumsy and she couldn't please people.I had no choice but to immerse myself in work. This time, I owed my younger brother a favor and owed him a favor.
Taking advantage of the absence of the children, Tang Qing went to the town to rent a bullock cart, and took a lot of things out of the space.Although he doesn't grow much food in his space, it can't grow fast. He and Zhou Qing can't even eat much with their children.He felt it was a waste not to eat it, and he had an immature idea in his mind that he had to add it up again.
The bullock cart was tightly covered, and the villagers didn't know what was in it. It was just that the town was sending medicinal materials again. It was a cold day, and everyone didn't want to come out to watch the excitement.
"Why are there so many?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but let out a low voice as he looked at the ox cart full of things.It contains all kinds of dried fruits and a lot of meat, such as chicken, duck, beef and sheep, which are still fresh.
"It's only one car, and there are several cars behind," Tang Qing said again seeing Zhou Qing's surprise.This is only a car, and there are several cars behind.It's almost the Chinese New Year, so I simply took out some more, so as to make the Chinese New Year more lively and festive.
"How much money will it cost?" Zhou Qing was a little frightened, how much would it cost so much.He knows all the money at home, so where can he buy so many things with the little money at home.
"Don't worry, I don't need money. I exchanged it with the pills I made. Don't say anything, so as not to make the villagers gossip." Tang Qing's face was not red and his heart was not beating when he explained now.
Zhou Qing naturally knew how effective Tang Qing's pills were, so he nodded his head and dared not say more.Busy moving things into the cellar, Tang Qing drove the bullock cart to the town and pulled another cart back after moving a cart, all of which were loaded into the cart halfway.
Zhou Qing saw that there was still a lot left to eat last time, and he was a little worried that he had brought so much here again.The two cellars are simply not enough, and even the kitchen is full, and the beams are covered with meat.
"Look, I told you not to be reluctant to eat, but now you can't finish it, and there will be more in a while." Seeing that the house was full, Tang Qing was a little stunned, it seemed that the room was still not big enough.
Zhou Qing ignored Tang Qing's nonsense and asked, "Why don't you change it to silver?"
"It's not worth buying things for money. They are in this business. They are all bought at low prices. They are not worth much. Give me these are good or bad goods. The best ones have been sold long ago. up"
See if the panic is getting bigger and bigger now, but Tang Qing is not afraid.Zhou Qing is not the kind of person who asks the truth, and if this matter is not disclosed, no one will investigate it.Even if the villagers knew that there was so much food at home, others would praise him for his remarks, and they would not think too much about it.But Tang Qing still insisted on being careful not to show his fortune for the sake of making money.
Zhou Qing didn't understand this, so he nodded without saying a word.For the first time, I felt that I was married to an amazing person.Under Tang Qing's teaching, he gradually began to become more confident, and the inferiority complex in his heart gradually decreased.
"How long does it take to eat so many things, wouldn't it be a pity to let them go bad?"
Looking at the rows of meat mountains, Zhou Qing felt heartbroken. The weather is cold now, but if it gets hot, it will all be ruined.But even if you eat it every day, you can't eat so much.There are only two mouths at home, how much can you eat, even if your nephews and nieces come over, how much can you eat?
How about making it into bacon?Tang Qing thought to himself, but when he thought that he had eaten a lot of smoked meat and bacon during this period, he felt a little bored.Besides, eating too much is not good for the body, and it is prone to constipation and the like.Moreover, there are many children in the family, and the stomach and intestines are not full due to year-round food, so the digestive function is not very good.This smoked meat and bacon are a bit hard, which is not conducive to digestion.
Thinking about it, it would be nice if there was a refrigerator.refrigeration?Thinking of this, Tang Qing had a flash of inspiration, and said to Zhou Qing: "Why don't we build an ice cellar?"
Zhou Qing's eyes also brightened, and he planned with Tang Qing.First of all, ice is used, which is easy to handle. Fill a bucket with water and cover it and put it in the snow overnight to freeze it into ice cubes.Then there is the ice cellar, the ice cellar is not as good as the cellar, the cellar can be dug a foot or two, but the ice cellar is different, you can’t dig too deep, if you dig too deep, there will be no oxygen in it, but it can’t be too shallow like the cellar.
Tang Qing felt that it would be enough to dig four or five meters, and build a house on top of it. The house was filled with hay to prevent heat from entering, and it was built next to their house, so that they could have an air-conditioned room for carrying things or in summer.
In this way, the amount of work is not small, and the construction will start now, otherwise there will be nowhere to look for ice in the spring.But ice cellars are not something ordinary people can build, and I don't want to invite villagers to disturb them.
"If you don't call your sister, brother-in-law and the others, it's just that the family can't finish the work. Anyway, our place is remote, and some movements can't be heard in the village." Zhou Qing looked at Tang Qing with a troubled expression, and said to him.I have to ask my family to do this, otherwise everyone in the village will talk a lot. With so many things in the house, there will inevitably be one or two jealous people. It would be bad if they were thieves.This food is no easier to find than objects, once you eat it, you can't find it.
Tang Qing touched Zhou Qing's head, sighed again, and said, "It's winter, the ground is frozen and hard, and there is no way to dig it." I blame myself for not thinking of it when I was building the house. It's time to build an ice cellar, and now it doesn't have to be so troublesome.It's a pity that he was busy with getting married at that time, so he didn't think about it at all. Now thinking about it, he feels a little annoyed.
"What's the matter? We peasants have a lot of strength. In a few days, the snow will fall heavily, and the elder brother-in-law will stop working. Everyone will come to help." Zhou Qing raised his head and said proudly.
"En..." Seeing his proud expression, Tang Qing couldn't help but kissed him on the forehead with a thought, which made Zhou Qing blush again.Not long after they got married, Tang Qing wanted to do this to him from time to time, and he hadn't started to get used to it yet.
"Second brother, third brother, elder brother toasts you, I'm sorry for all these years, it's my fault for being the eldest brother." Zhou Dagui raised his glass to compensate the two younger brothers for being drunk.
"Brother is serious"
