When Yu Tian took Li Wanrou back to the county seat, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.
He didn't plan to go to Lin Changshui today. He would postpone it for a day and then go to 'break' it after noon tomorrow.
I found a pork stall and Yu Tian planned to buy some ribs.
There wasn't much fat or lean meat left at the stall, and no one cared about the ribs.
this era.
People like fat meat.
Even when buying meat, we deliberately remove excess lean meat.
The price of meat itself is expensive.
Even with the bones and meat, it is even more uneconomical to buy. But Yu Tian knows that the ribs are a good thing, and Doudou will definitely like the braised pork ribs.
After weighing three kilograms of ribs, the two returned to the village.
When we got home, it was getting darker. The third sister-in-law was playing in the yard with Doudou, and it was a happy scene.
The third sister-in-law likes this child so much.
It can even be said to be treated as one’s own.
She and her third brother couldn't have a child, so they were extremely curious about the little cutie Doudou.
Today we collected more than 300 eggs.
Yu Tian took advantage of the chat between the third sister-in-law and Li Wanrou and went into the kitchen to make ribs.
"Dad! What are you doing tonight?"
Doudou, this greedy little cat, knew that there was something delicious when he saw Yu Tian entering the kitchen.
These days, he can eat meat every day, but he is still hungry.
Children's thoughts are relatively simple, but they are also the most sincere.
What he is more worried about is whether he can continue to eat meat every day in the future.
"Braised pork ribs! It's delicious! Eat more tonight and try to fuck him for two bowls of rice!"
Yu Tian held Doudou in one hand and handled the ribs with the other.
"What are spareribs? Does it smell like sesame cakes?"
Doudou bit her little hand and watched the ribs being cooked, full of anticipation.
"You have to taste this for yourself. Have you heard the story of the pony crossing the river?"
While cooking, Yu Tian told fairy tales. The little guy was fascinated by the story, his eyes flickering, as if he had merged into the scene.
When the meal was ready, the third brother also came back from the fields.
In the past few days, lunch and dinner at the third brother's house have been taken care of at Yu Tian's house.
Although neither party said anything.
But they just came together tacitly.
Family love naturally ranges from far to near.
Although the third brother is a cousin, the couple's care for Yu Tian's family is not much worse than that of their closest relatives.
If it weren't for Yu Tian's stubbornness before.
The relationship between the two families has long been close.
But this is all if. Now, time comes back, and Yu Tian is working hard to manage this family relationship.
“How can these ribs be made like this? It’s really delicious! But it’s not very cost-effective!”
The third brother picked up the rice bowl and took a piece. The ribs went into his mouth and the aroma was overflowing.
"Third brother."
Yu Tian took a bite and said, "The busy farming season has ended in the past two days. Do you think it won't be a problem for us to harvest seventy or eighty kilograms of eels a day, right?"
"Of course! You can collect even hundreds of kilograms, not to mention seventy or eighty kilograms. There are too many of them, and they are all in everyone's fields! Have you opened up a market? Eels...are not like eggs.
It won’t survive long and will die easily.”
The third brother is still a little worried, but in his worry, there is also some hesitation to speak.
He glanced at the third sister-in-law, who shook her head slightly and said nothing.
Yu Tian noticed it.
But he didn't ask.
He just replied, "Sales shouldn't be a problem. If nothing else happens, it will be finalized tomorrow! Third brother, to be honest, have you changed your mind recently? I feel that you and third sister-in-law have something to discuss with me.
explain."
The third brother and the third sister-in-law do have something to say.
During the past two days, while Sister-in-law was collecting eggs, she was also making small calculations in her mind.
Li Wanrou didn't hide anything from her and told her the price of the sale.
When the third sister-in-law came home, she calculated that she could make much more money from poaching eggs than from farming.
Seeing Yu Tian's family eating meat every day, Doudou's little face became increasingly rosy.
Although we can also eat meat at home, all this is not our own achievement after all, and it also feels a bit uncomfortable to eat.
"Since you asked...then..."
The third brother put down his chopsticks, glanced at the third sister-in-law, and licked his lips at her, "Xiao Cui'er, please talk to your brother. I'm a clumsy speaker and I don't quite understand..."
"OK!"
The third sister-in-law looked a little nervous and embarrassed. She mustered up her courage and looked at Yu Tian. While rubbing her hands, she said seriously, "Yu Tian, you have changed during this time. Not only has your life become better, but your life at home has also changed."
Let’s live a better life! To be honest, your third brother and I are just working people and can’t read a single word. But we both want to live a good life and want others to look up to us... That... Third sister-in-law wants to say
, can you take your third brother with you and let him also..."
The third sister-in-law spoke quite eloquently.
The meaning is obvious and Yu Tian understands it as soon as he hears it.
This is a good thing for Yu Tian.
He is always looking for help. Looking for outsiders is really not as good as looking for third brother.
Besides, over the years, my third brother and my third sister-in-law have treated me badly.
But for Li Wanrou and Doudou, it is definitely interesting.
Whenever the family ran out of food, my third sister-in-law always brought sweet potatoes and potatoes.
The third brother's family was so poor that he borrowed the cart as soon as he asked for it.
In his heart, Yu Tian did not complain about the attitude of his third brother and his third sister-in-law towards him.
It was all my own doing, there is no reason to blame others.
Seeing the third sister-in-law's attitude, she seemed to be begging.
Yu Tian felt sour, immediately interrupted, and agreed immediately.
"Stop talking about it, Sister-in-law, even if you two don't mention it, I'm going to mention it!"
After saying that, Yu Tian turned around and went back to the house, took out two boxes and threw them to the third brother. After sitting down, he said, "That's what I thought. After two days, won't we have to collect the eels? Third brother, don't be busy by then."
It’s about the land. Let’s rent out all the land for our two families. From now on, just follow me! As long as I, Yu Tian, can eat, the third brother can drink! I guarantee this to the chairman!”
These words made the third brother and the third sister-in-law feel happy.
The two of them couldn't believe that Yu Tian could agree so easily.
The third sister-in-law's tears fell.
She grabbed Li Wanrou's hand and was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
The third brother didn't say anything either.
Taking a deep breath, he got up and went home to find some bulk liquor that he had treasured for a long time. When he came back, he filled a glass for Yu Tian, filled it for himself, and drank it all in one gulp.
"I'm going to talk to the village chief right now! Contract the land between our two families and ask him to help contact us! Brother... Yu Tian... I..."
The third brother didn't know how to express his gratitude and stuttered a bit.
It's a good thing to make money, and he also wants to eat meat and drink every day.
"Third brother, there's no need to say anything, it's all in my heart!"
Yu Tian smiled and asked the third brother to go to the village chief to do business first.
The third brother stood up as if relieved, nodded, turned and walked out the door.
"Third brother, what are you doing?"
As soon as I went out, I happened to meet Zhao Tiezhu who was returning home.
Seeing the joy on the third brother's face, Zhao Tiezhu felt uncomfortable.
The two families were next to each other, and he smelled the aroma of meat from Yu Tian's house every day, listened to the laughter, and had to face Wang Chunxia's stinky face.
What's even more hateful is.
The bicycle that his son had just acquired was also 'borrowed' by Yu Tian. The combination of these things made him feel as uncomfortable as a thorn in his heart.
"I'll go to the village chief and reserve the land! Didn't I plant Yu Tian's land before? Now both of our families have to lease it out!"
The third brother had nothing to hide and blurted out.
"Private land?"
Zhao Tiezhu's eyes rolled, "Then what do you do for a living? Stop farming and drink the northwest wind? Oh...no! Third brother, stop! I have something to tell you!"
