There is a handsome man in the rough family

The child is seven or eight months old now, and he is round and cute, with big eyes, and is as agile as black grapes. He likes Tang Xiaofu to hold him the most.

Tang Xiaofu hugged him and shook the rattle, his mind was empty, and he subconsciously muttered words: "The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is wild and wild, the sun and the moon are full, and the stars are listed..."

It doesn't matter whether the little doll in my arms can understand or not.

Over there, Mrs. Li laughed when she heard it: "This is the thousand-character prose that your third brother taught you when you were young. I still remember it now."

Tang Xiaofu paused slightly, and smiled awkwardly.

The original owner didn't have this memory in his mind, it was something he had learned in his previous life.

So he could only nod along with Li Shi's words.

"It's not that the older you get, the more you find that you have a deep memory when you were young. This thousand-character prose is also very good for teaching children now."

Mrs. Li laughed straight away: "When you were young, your third brother went to a private school, and you had to go with him. If the husband didn't accept you, he would go home and cry loudly. Your third brother loved you so much, so he went home from school every day. You teach today's lesson."

It is precisely because of the original owner's preference that he is able to read and write, which is much better than the little brother from an ordinary farmer's family.

Wang Yi rolled her eyes impatiently when she heard Tang Xiaofu showing off there.

"What does a little brother do with so many books? He wants to get married, cook and serve the men and children in the future. My brother Bao will not let him read so many books in the future."

Normally, Tang Xiaofu would not bother to talk to him, but looking at the child's innocent and ignorant eyes now, he couldn't help but get angry.

"What's the matter, little brother? Reading is sensible, don't you think that little brother is not worthy of being a human being? You are a mother, don't you know how to read?"

Brother Tuan, who had been silent for a long time, also said softly at this moment: "It is naturally good to know how to read and write."

Mrs. Li glanced at this narrow-minded daughter-in-law lightly: "Even in our farming household, if the younger brother can read and understand, then he can choose a good family when he gets married, and be looked up to by his in-laws."

Wang Yi knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, so she didn't say anything more, but she didn't look at Brother Bao again.

The first child gave birth to a brother, and he was a little unwilling in his heart.

Now I am actively preparing to get pregnant and have a baby as soon as possible.

Now that the second son's family has entered the door, he has to work even harder. Only by giving birth to the eldest son and grandson of the Tang family will he be able to straighten his back.

It didn't make sense for him to be overtaken by the second child's family and rob him of his position.

A hundred years after the father and mother, the property of the main house will fall into the hands of others, no matter how it happens, it will all belong to their eldest family.

However, although Wang Yi has a weird mouth, but he dare not reveal his little thoughts, otherwise her family will never forgive him.

A few people quickly wrapped the sticky bean buns and steamed them in the drawer.

After leaving the food for the day, Tang Xiaofu used a curtain to put the sticky bean buns outside. Although the snow has stopped outside, the temperature is still low.

After one or two hours, the sticky bean buns will freeze hard.

It can be put away and used all winter without breaking.

The men in the yard finished chopping firewood, and a young boy ran over from outside, smiling, and said that the village chief's family was going to kill the New Year's pig, and asked Tang's family to come and help.

Mrs. Li handed it to a sticky bean bun kid, and ran away happily.

Before this year, killing pigs was a big deal.

In previous years, many people in the village would ask their acquaintances to help them kill pigs at this time of year, which is also a kind of good relationship.

Now that the weather is not good, most of the livestock raised in the family have been sold and replaced with grain to prepare for the winter.

Now it's the village head's house, and it can afford to raise this big fat pig.

After tidying up the chopping board and rolling pin, Mrs. Li took off her apron, turned to Tang Xiaofu and said, "Brother Fu, go get some copper coins from the dustpan in my house, let's buy some pork, and eat it during the Chinese New Year. "

Tang Xiaofu nodded hurriedly, went to Li's house, rummaged through the dustpan beside the kang.

Sure enough, I found a dusty money bag, which looked like two or three hundred cash after weighing it.

He took out another hundred copper coins from his waist, and planned to buy more meat later, after all, it was Chinese New Year and everyone was relaxed.

Wang Yi hugged the little milk baby, looked at Mrs. Li eagerly, and said eagerly: "Mom, buy more meat. You see, Brother Bao has never tasted meat at such an age."

Mrs. Li rolled her eyes: "You say you are greedy if you want to eat. Brother Bao is only an adult, how can he eat meat now, without fear of spoiling his stomach."

Wang Yi's eyes were red, and she hugged Bao Ge'er in an aggrieved manner, not daring to speak anymore.

Tang Xiaofu came, and he felt quite uncomfortable seeing this place. What's wrong with wanting to eat meat? It's all because of this year.

"Mum, I still have 100 Wen, let's buy a few more catties of meat. The third brother will come back in a few days, studying hard, and our whole family has also worked hard for a year. It's time to make up for it. Don't lose your body." .”

At this moment, every family can't eat, and the restaurants in the county are naturally closed. Boss Tang returned home early to help.

He has always been a caring husband. He settled the accounts in the house, and when he heard the sound, he hurried out to greet him, and took out a piece of silver from his waist.

"My son knows that Mumo is working hard to take care of the family's inside and out, so he will buy more meat when the Chinese New Year is approaching, so Mumo will also eat more."

When Mrs. Li heard her son and elder brother say that, the expression on her face improved a lot.

But he was not polite, took the money from the two of them, and went out with Tang Xiaofu to the village head's house.

Mrs. Li is not a stingy person. In previous years, he would buy a lot of meat and freeze it for everyone to eat, and he would not treat other members of the family harshly.

It's just that the several receptions this year made him a little uneasy. The food at home will be eaten next year's autumn harvest, so he doesn't think about it carefully.

The old man Tang took Zhao Xiangbei and Tang Lao Er and others to pass early.

From far away, I could hear the second brother's hissing,

Zhao Xiangbei and another tall and strong man held down the big fat pig and hung it upside down from the tree.

The dirty disciples in the village slaughtered pigs. He was a good hand, with a butcher's knife, with a bright light and a cold light.

"The knife is up!"

Raised the knife and dropped it, the pig stopped struggling in an instant,

The wife of the village head's family hurriedly took the pig's blood in a basin.

There is almost blood here, and the people who came to help from the village boiled two pots of boiling water early, and the pig's hair fell off immediately.

After the pig's hair had faded, Butcher Zhang picked it up, put the pig on the bench, and cut the pork into several large pieces with a few ups and downs of the knife in his hand.

"Village chief, how do you want to eat this meat?"

The village head was also smiling now: "Naturally, the pig's head should be kept to worship the gods, and half a fan of pork will be left to eat during the New Year. Others may want the remaining half fan. It's just that it's not easy to raise pigs this year. My own big fat pig costs 22 cents per catty, and if you want it, you can come to me and report the number."

Mrs. Li was still a little hesitant when she heard that the pork bought in the county was two cents more expensive.

Tang Xiaofu hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Shi's arm, and said in a low voice, "Mum, the meat in the county is almost thirty yuan a catty, and you can't buy it yet. Why don't you just buy some and keep it at home. It can be eaten in winter." Freeze it, you can eat it for a few more days."

Li Shi thought about it, patted his thigh and gritted his teeth: "Give me 25 catties, I want to gain weight."

25 catties of pork costs more than 500 Wen. If one person pays, the people behind will be fine.

The village chief also had some joy on his face: "Okay, you can choose 25 catties of such a big pork fan. My husband is impatient with this intestine. If you want to give ten cents, you can take it."

Mrs. Li's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she hurried forward to collect the copper coins. Afraid that the village head would regret it, she smiled and complimented: "It's still the village head's family who is willing to cut the material. This big fat pig is really fat and strong. It ate your family." pork, I hope the coming year will be a bumper harvest."

When the others saw that Mrs. Li, who was the first to buy, got a set of intestines for ten pennies, they felt sorry for each other.

I didn't take advantage of this cheapness,

So those who want to buy meat have to pay for it, fearing that they will fall behind and not benefit from it.

However, none of the later purchases had the benefit of Li Shi.

And those in the village who are struggling can only watch, but their pockets are empty.

Tang Xiaofu shook his head and laughed. The village chief gave away a pair of pig intestines so cheaply, not only because Li was the first to pay for it and gave him face.

It's more because the Tang family has a talent to sell well.

When a group of people returned home, Mrs. Li still happily ordered Tang Xiaofu to boil hot water and wash the pig intestines with some plant ash.

Tang Xiaofu really couldn't do this job, and couldn't pass the test in his heart.

After boiling hot water and preparing plant ash, I hid far away.

Brother Tuan is honest and obedient, and Mrs. Li said where to hit.

He didn't dislike the pig's intestines being dirty, so he followed Mrs. Li and washed the intestines clean inside and out.

In the evening, Mrs. Li was so generous that he used a few dried chilies to fry the pig intestines until it was fragrant and spicy, and the men in the family were full of oil.

But when he thought of the scene he was dealing with, Tang Xiaofu didn't eat a bite, forgive him for having no way to eat.

Seeing everyone in the Tang family eating deliciously, Tang Xiaofu could only gnaw pitifully on the corn flour buns in his hands, thinking about how to eat the 25 catties of meat he bought,

Braised Pork in Red Sauce, White Pork with Garlic Sauce, Stir-Fried Pork with Spiced Pepper,

Without checking for a while, Tang Xiaofu's mouth was full of saliva.

Having eaten delicious food today, Wang Yi panicked and took the initiative to wash the dishes. Tang Xiaofu felt relieved,

I looked around, but I didn't see that rough guy in my house, so I remembered.

Mrs. Li sent him to send two catties of meat to his elder brother's god-in-law, Mrs. Wu.

The weather is rare and sunny today, Tang Xiaofu put on his hat and gloves, ready to go out for a stroll.

When I walked to the corner of the alley, I heard a young man on the other side of the house choked up and said: "Xiang Bei, I know I am not qualified to say this now, but I am happy with you and don't ask for anything in return." , I just want to tell you."
