Chapter 564. Zhao Youcai’s pocket money was deducted
On the mountain railway, the small train headed straight for Yong'an Village with a carriage.
This is a small train used by forestry workers in Yongantun to commute. In the carriage, four people, Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Li Baoyu, and Lin Xiangshun, were crowded on a long bench.
It’s not that there is no place to sit, there is quite a lot of empty space in the carriage, but the four of them are leaning against the wall, their heads lowered in unison, either fiddling with the corners of their clothes or looking at their palms.
To their left, on a bench separated by an empty stool, Zhang Laifa sat there alone. Since being transferred to the boiling water room, this child has to commute to get off work every day.
Zhang Laifa did not lower his head, but looked ahead with resentful eyes. There, opposite Zhao Youcai and others, Li Ruhai was talking to a group of gentlemen with a lively expression.
It’s good to be young!
This kid worked all day and all night at the forestry farm yesterday, and this morning he stayed in the cafeteria to help out all morning, telling the old lady who worked odd jobs in the cafeteria about the big badger taking out his crotch and making a baby.
After lunch, Li Ruhai followed Li Baoyu to the motorcade. When the driver got out of the car, he followed him. After hanging out like this for an afternoon, Li Ruhai walked from the commuter bus to the car and started to talk about the Pioneer Forest Farm with great interest.
Gonzo.
Pioneer Forest Farm is a small forest farm between Yong'an and Hailin. However, the two forest farms are seventy or eighty miles apart. Li Dayong has never heard of the people and things mentioned by Li Ruhai, and he does not know that this child fights
Where did you hear that?
The small train stopped outside the village. Li Ruhai got off the car with some hesitation, but he was going to rush to the next meeting and asked his aunt and aunt who stayed behind in the village if anything new had happened in the village in the past two days when he was not at home.
No.
Seeing that Li Ruhai was not going home, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu ignored him. They sighed heavily and followed Zhao Youcai home.
Along the way, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu paid no attention to him, while Zhao Youcai was also worried about something and walked ahead with his hands behind his back.
But when he was approaching home, Zhao Youcai saw Ma Ling carrying something and walking toward him.
Not only Zhao Youcai, but also Li Dayong and Li Baoyu were all stunned. It is not unusual for the daughter-in-law who has not yet passed the house to see her future mother-in-law, but when she is not leaving, she also packs small bags to take things from her mother-in-law's house.
At this time, Ma Ling was carrying a net bag with ten bottles of soda in her left hand, and a butter paper bag with naughty candies in her right hand, but others couldn't see what was inside unless they opened it. p>
At this time, Ma Ling also saw Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and Li Baoyu. The girl's face turned red and she felt very embarrassed.
But these were not what she wanted. Wang Meilan gave them to her. Ma Ling refused in every possible way, but Wang Meilan just let her take them.
For this reason, Wang Meilan was afraid that when she went down to the cellar to get soda, Ma Ling would take the opportunity to escape, so she just dragged the girl into the cellar.
At this point, Ma Ling could only walk up to Zhao Youcai and call out in a low voice: "Uncle."
Then, Ma Ling turned to Li Dayong and said: "Uncle Li."
Finally, the girl nodded to Li Baoyu, then immediately turned to Zhao Youcai and explained: "I heard from my dad that my aunt has a bad stomach, so I came to see her. This..."
At this point, Ma Ling felt embarrassed. She came to see a patient, but ended up taking a bunch of things from the patient's hand. What should I say about this?
"Ah!" At this time, Zhao Youcai realized that although he didn't know what happened at home, the things must have been given by Wang Meilan, so he hurriedly said: "I'd like to thank you for your concern."
Ma Ling forced a smile and said, "Uncle, it's not troublesome."
Moving on, Ma Ling didn’t know what to say.
"Haha..." Zhao Youcai laughed dryly and said, "Well...my brother Ma is off work too."
"Ah!" After hearing this, Ma Ling finally found the steps and said hurriedly: "Uncle, I have to go back quickly. I haven't cooked yet."
"Hey." Zhao Youcai said: "Then go back quickly. I won't keep you here anymore. Tell your dad that we can have a drink someday."
When he said this, Zhao Youcai stepped aside to make way for Ma Ling.
"Okay, uncle." Ma Ling responded: "Then I'm leaving."
Then, Ma Ling said to Li Dayong again: "I'm leaving, Uncle Li."
Li Dayong nodded and said: "Slow down."
"Well!" Ma Ling carried her things and quickly passed between Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong, and quickly walked towards her home.
Seeing Ma Ling go away, Zhao Youcai and Li Dayong looked at each other. Zhao Youcai tilted his chin in the direction of his home, and the two continued walking home.
Zhao Jun was not at home, and Li Baoyu did not enter Zhao's house when he came back from get off work. Zhao Youcai entered the yard by himself, turned around and closed the tent door.
At the same time, Zhao Youcai felt something hit his leg.
Zhao Youcai didn't even turn around, so he reached back and touched Erhei's head. At this time, Hualong also came over, and Zhao Youcai played with them for a while. When he passed by the warehouse, he heard Zhao Hong and Zhao coming from inside.
The sound of Na feeding the little squirrel.
These two little girls are amusing themselves by talking to the little squirrel.
As soon as Zhao Youcai entered the house, he saw Wang Meilan sitting in front of the stove, humming and peeling potatoes. Zhao Youcai, who was eager to show off, hurriedly said: "Lan Na, put it over there quickly, I'll do it!"
Before Zhao Jun was reborn, Zhao Youcai had never cooked before coming back from get off work at night!
"No need." Wang Meilan stopped humming, raised her head and glanced sideways at Zhao Youcai, and said calmly: "Go out and get a cabbage and come back."
"Hey." Zhao Youcai responded and walked out. When he was outside the door, he glanced back, scratched his head and wondered in his heart. He didn't make any mistakes today and was caught by Wang Meilan. Why does this feel like he has a wrong attitude?<
/p>
When harvesting Chinese cabbage, you can chop it directly with a knife or pull it out by the roots. Those that are chopped with a knife should be used for pickling sauerkraut. Those that are pulled out by the roots should be kept for eating green vegetables in the winter.
This Chinese cabbage is stored with the roots attached for a longer period of time. It is temporarily stacked in a shaded and ventilated area of the warehouse. The outer two layers of leaves of each Chinese cabbage may be wilted, but they are all fresh inside.
Zhao Youcai entered the warehouse, and the two little girls turned around and called him "Dad". Zhao Youcai agreed, then took a big cabbage and went directly to the warehouse to remove the wilting leaves outside.
At this time, Zhao Youcai thought of Ma Ling carrying things from his home, and also thought of Wang Meilan who was sitting in front of the stove and humming when he entered the house.
This girl is obviously very happy, why does her face change when she looks at herself?
Zhao Youcai was picking up cabbage and thinking about something. At this moment, Zhao Na came in front of Zhao Youcai, pulled the corner of Zhao Youcai's clothes and said, "Dad, Mom gave all our sodas to others."
This child is still too young. Even if she is told that Ma Ling will be her sister-in-law in the future, she will not understand what sister-in-law means. She only knows that Ma Ling took so many delicious food from her house and left with the delicious food.<
/p>
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay." Zhao Youcai put down the cabbage, touched Zhao Na's little head, and comforted: "When your brother comes back, let him buy it for you."
"Yes!" Xiao Zhao Na nodded heavily in agreement, and then asked: "Dad, when will my brother come back? I miss him so much."
Not sure what the child was thinking, Zhao Youcai comforted him perfunctorily: "It's almost, it's almost, I'll be back in two days."
As he said that, Zhao Youcai waved to Zhao Hong. After calling his second daughter, Zhao Youcai asked: "Second daughter, um... what did your sister Ma Ling say to your mother when she came to our house? Did you listen?" Zhao Youcai didn't know why Wang Meilan was sarcastic to him, but he knew that Ma Ling must have asked for favors in front of Wang Meilan, otherwise she wouldn't be able to carry large and small bags home.
Therefore, Zhao Youcai was thinking that if he knew the reason, he could learn from Ma Ling, which would not only make Wang Meilan happy, but also take advantage of the opportunity to get some money.
Zhao Hong really didn't know what Wang Meilan and Ma Ling were talking about in the east room before. When Ma Ling and Wang Meilan were frying eggs, he and Zhao Na wanted to eat eggs. Zhao Hong only remembered a rough idea of what Wang Meilan said at that time.
.
So, the little girl made a brief summary and said to Zhao Youcai: "Sister Ma Ling asked mom to take some folk medicine to cure her stomachache."
"Ah?" Zhao Youcai frowned when he heard this and hurriedly asked Zhao Hong: "Is your mother feeling sick to her stomach?"
The little girl thought for a while and then said: "No?"
She was so unsure, but it made Zhao Youcai make a wrong judgment. Zhao Youcai thought that Wang Meilan was not feeling well today, so Ma Ling came to care about her, which made Wang Meilan feel happy and brought a lot of things to Ma Ling.
.
As for the folk remedy Zhao Hong mentioned, he knew without asking that it must be steamed millet with wild boar belly. Zhao Youcai guessed that it was Ma Ling who persuaded Wang Meilan to eat this.
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhao Youcai's mouth slightly raised, making Zhao Hong stunned.
"Old girl." Zhao Youcai gently pushed Zhao Na towards Zhao Hong, and then said, "You and your second sister will play here while dad goes back to help your mother cook."
After saying that, Zhao Youcai picked up the cabbage and walked quickly to his house.
At this time, Zhao Youcai was a little impatient!
He was like a poor student who got the exam answers by chance the day before the big exam.
So that night, he couldn't sleep. He was anxious and anxious, and wanted to express himself to the fullest as soon as possible!
With such a mood, Zhao Youcai rushed into the house, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Wang Meilan raising her head towards him and looking at Zhao Youcai with an evil look.
"Uh-huh." Zhao Youcai cleared his throat, handed the cabbage in his hand to Wang Meilan, and said with a smile: "Lan, here it is."
Normally, when one person hands something to another person, if it's just a piece of cabbage, the person receiving it just needs to extend his hand, hold it, and wait for the other person to let go.
But the moment Wang Meilan reached out and grabbed the cabbage, she pushed back and pulled the cabbage out of Zhao Youcai's hand!
If there is one more tug, it will not be answered.
This is called seizing!
Zhao Youcai was startled, feeling that Wang Meilan was not very friendly to him, but he still had a plan in mind, so he just smiled and walked into the house.
Zhao Youcai didn't know that when he passed behind Wang Meilan, Wang Meilan suddenly turned her head back. Although she didn't see Zhao Youcai, a cold light flashed in Wang Meilan's eyes.
At this time, Zhao Youcai, who was walking to the door of the east room, suddenly stopped. He saw two bottles of canned hawthorn and two paper packets of butter placed on the Kang table.
Zhao Youcai thought about it and knew that Ma Ling had come to buy it after seeing Wang Meilan. At the same time, he felt happy because he finally had an entry point to the topic!
"Lan!" Zhao Youcai turned around, smiled at Wang Meilan, pointed to the room and asked, "Is that what my daughter-in-law bought for you?"
In Zhao Youcai's plan, Wang Meilan should ask herself at this time, "How did you know?"
But to Zhao Youcai's surprise, Wang Meilan slowly raised her head expressionlessly, stood up slowly, put the cabbage with the roots cut off on the stove, held a kitchen knife in one hand and said, "Yes, what?"
Three simple words, each word was filled with great emotion. Zhao Youcai still smiled confidently and said: "Lan Na, if you finish eating that recipe this time, you can just eat the can and squeeze it." p>
If he hadn't said this, Wang Meilan might not be that angry. As soon as Zhao Youcai said this, Wang Meilan couldn't suppress the fire in her heart.
It's been several days since I couldn't swallow the steamed millet from wild boar belly, but I couldn't even eat a can of it. I had to buy it from my future daughter-in-law before I could eat it!
What kind of life has it been like?
Wang Meilan raised the kitchen knife in her hand, slammed it on the cutting board, and shouted at Zhao Youcai: "You cook!"
"Hey." Wang Meilan suddenly roared, which startled Zhao Youcai, but at this time he thought Wang Meilan was feeling unwell, so he hurriedly stepped forward to hold the handle of the kitchen knife, turned the knife to his side, and then said: "
Lan, come in quickly and get on the kang to rest. I’ll finish cooking. I told you just now that I’m going to do it but you’re not going to do it.”
Wang Meilan let out a sigh of relief. She was still angry, but she didn't want to say that she was angry because of a can, because it would make her look stingy.
At this time, Zhao Youcai did not realize the seriousness of the problem, so he only took Wang Meilan's peeled potatoes from the basin and asked Wang Meilan, who had already entered the back room on the Kang, "Lan Na, should we eat stir-fry or stew tonight?"
”
Cabbage and potatoes can be stewed together or fried together. Each family has its own way of eating. According to the Zhao Jun family's custom, if it is stewed with cabbage and potatoes, then the cabbage should be shredded and the potatoes cut into strips. If it is stir-fried, the cabbage and potatoes should be stewed.
They all have to be sliced.
That's why Zhao Youcai asked, otherwise if the potatoes for stew are cut into slices, they will fall into pieces when stewed.
"Stew!" Wang Meilan said: "Stew the dry food left over from yesterday."
A big pot, stew the vegetables on the bottom, and simmer the dry food on the top. If the food is good, the dry food on the top will also simmer thoroughly.
"Hey..." Zhao Youcai responded in a long voice, and it sounded like his attitude was getting better at this time.
But Wang Meilan didn't buy it at all, she just snorted and stopped talking.
Seeing that Wang Meilan was silent and had already cut the potatoes into thick slices, Zhao Youcai, who was about to change his knife to cut into strips, said to the back room: "Let's talk about it, Ma Ling is still a young girl. If you want to buy two bottles of canned food, buy a bottle of peach."
Ah, that looks so beautiful."
Zhao Youcai was cutting vegetables and talking, but he didn't see Wang Meilan in the room staring at his back, his chest rising and falling.
After all, my kid bought it for me! You didn’t buy anything for me, and you’re still making noises!
After ordering some at the front, Zhao Youcai quickly got to the point and said, "Lan Na, have you eaten the wild boar belly today? How do you feel after eating it these days? If not, let's increase the amount tomorrow."
Wang Meilan couldn't help but change her face when she heard this. When she heard the words "boar belly", she could think of something that smells bad and smells bad.
Wang Meilan took a deep breath and did not answer Zhao Youcai's words. She only looked at the door coldly.
Although I could only see Zhao Youcai's back, I couldn't hide the look in his eyes that wanted to kill someone.
After saying two words, Wang Meilan didn't answer. Zhao Youcai stopped the knife, took a step back, turned to look at Wang Meilan in the room, and asked: "Lan, I'm talking to you, why don't you say anything?" "Ha!" Wang Meilan sneered, suppressing the anger in her heart, gritted her teeth and said: "We have spent a lot of money to build a house this year, and our son will have to get married after the year, and money and other things are also very tight. After getting married, the young couple will
To give us a grandson, the expenses cannot be too small. How about this, I will give you two yuan every month from now on, and you don’t have much to spend in a day anyway?”
"What?" Zhao Youcai was shocked when he heard this and was stunned on the spot!
