Chapter 6 Where did the money come from

"What does it smell like? Whose boiled lard?"

Wang Chunxia and her third brother chatted for a while before getting ready to go home and cook lunch for Zhao Tiezhu.

At noon, when it was time to eat, her stomach was empty.

When passing by Yu Tian's house, the smell of lard wafted over.

She walked around for a while, sniffed carefully, and fixed her eyes on the door of Yu Tian's house.

Their two families are separated by a wall.

The brick wall is as high as one person.

In my own yard, if I hadn't dug up the wall, I wouldn't have been able to see the other person's situation clearly.

"I must have thought wrong!"

After smelling it for a few more times, Wang Chunxia put her finger in her mouth, dipped it in saliva, felt the direction of the wind, and said to herself, "This smell should have come from Mr. Wang's house. I saw him carrying it this morning."

Come back with two ounces of fat!"

Wang Chunxia probably doesn't like seeing others living a better life than herself.

There are not a few people with this kind of mentality.

Just like the saying that spreads in later generations.

If you are not afraid of your brothers suffering, you are afraid of your brothers driving a Land Rover.

Furthermore.

She is most familiar with the situation of Yu Tian's family.

Two days ago, she saw Li Wanrou going to her third brother's house to borrow sweet potatoes in a humble manner.

I’m so full that I can’t even eat anymore!

How is it possible to boil lard?

Smiling self-deprecatingly, she returned to her home to cook for Zhao Tiezhu.

...

"Wanrou, I want to ask you for a favor."

Yu Tian asked Doudou to go out and play to avoid choking on the fumes.

"What's the matter?"

Li Wanrou was shocked and seemed to have a bad premonition.

She is most afraid that something will happen to Yu Tian.

Every time I beg her, it never turns out to be a good thing.

The long-term grievance and pain made her subconsciously nervous, and her heart rose to her throat.

"After baking the cakes in a while, you can fry some green vegetables for me. Don't add lard, just fry them in the same way as before."

Yu Tian started making minced meat, and the kitchen knife frequently fell on the lean meat on the chopping board, cutting it into minced meat.

"Stir-fried vegetables?"

Li Wanrou was relieved and a little puzzled, "The green vegetables I fried didn't even have any oil or water, and had a very mushy taste. Besides... aren't we eating sesame cakes today?"

"You guys can eat the sesame cakes. I just want to eat stir-fried vegetables and sweet potatoes. That's all I'll eat."

Yu Tian has been thinking about this smell of fried vegetables for forty-five years...

No delicacies from mountains and seas can compare with this kind of nostalgia.

Although I don’t know what Yu Tian is thinking.

Li Wanrou agreed immediately.

After the noodles were ready, I chopped some green onions and mixed them with the meat filling.

Adjust the saltiness, place the sesame cakes one by one, and then put them into the pot.

This time, one pound of pork was used to make pancakes.

Yu Tian tied the remaining two kilograms with a hemp rope and hung it at the mouth of the well in his yard.

The weather was hot, and Li Wanrou was worried that the meat would spoil if kept for a long time.

But Yu Tian didn't take it seriously. The meat would have to be digested tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. He had to eat and drink as he should. He already had a way to make money.

A dozen palm-sized pies were steaming out of the pot.

Yu Tian set aside a few and prepared to send them to the third brother later.

Doudou smelled the fragrance and hurried in like an elf.

His belly was already full of anticipation, and he greedily took a bite of the sesame seed cake without waiting for it to cool down.

"It's so delicious! Dad, the sesame biscuits are the best I've ever eaten! Dad, can I still eat sesame biscuits tomorrow?"

Doudou ate in a hurry and was worried that he wouldn't be able to eat it tomorrow.

"Yes, my good son! I can do it every day. Whatever you want to eat, daddy will cook it for you."

Yu Tian took Doudou's little hand to the yard and set the table on the ground.

The vegetables were fried quickly.

Li Wanrou came out with a plate.

She took two sweet potatoes made in the morning and put them together in front of Yu Tian.

"That's what it tastes like!"

Looking at the plate of green and slightly burnt vegetables in front of him, millions of images flashed through Yu Tian's mind.

Smiling at Li Wanrou, he picked up the chopsticks and devoured it.

The wind and the remaining clouds.

A plate of green vegetables was wiped out in one minute.

When Yu Tian put down his chopsticks again, Li Wanrou, mother and son, were looking at him with slightly surprised eyes.

Are fried vegetables really so delicious?

Li Wanrou thought to herself.

This is Yu Tian’s least favorite dish.

Every time he made it, he would either throw the plate or the bowl.

She always scolds herself, saying that she is a useless woman who has no knowledge but no way to make money.

Why is he today...

"Look what I'm doing? You eat you..."

Yu Tian wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled.

"Well, eat...what's wrong with you?"

Li Wanrou could see clearly that Yu Tian's eyes were a little red.

"It's nothing, it was so smokey when I was making pancakes just now. You two will eat first while I go and deliver the pancakes to the third brother."

He couldn't mention the past events to Li Wanrou.

Wrap the sesame cakes in oil paper and prepare to go to Third Brother's house.

As soon as he went out, he met Zhao Tiezhu who was coming home for lunch.

"Uncle Zhao, are you back?"

Yu Tian smiled and said hello.

Zhao Tiezhu is in his forties or fifties, short in stature, with acne marks on his face and dark skin.

He always carries a small leather bag when he goes out, which looks a bit stylish.

Hearing Yu Tian take the initiative to say hello, he was slightly stunned.

Then he replied, "Ah... Yu Tian, ​​​​it's not noon, I'm going home to have a meal, why are you going?"

On weekdays, Yu Tian never greeted him.

Although their two families live close to each other.

But it can be said that they are strangers.

Zhao Tiezhu is the captain of the brigade. He feels superior to others and always preaches to everyone.

Wang Chunxia was even more of a shrew, and she even mentioned to Li Wanrou that she wanted to secretly find a wife for her and let her marry her disabled brother.

certainly.

Li Wanrou never said these words to Yu Tian for fear of causing any trouble.

Wang Chunxia mentioned it several times, but seeing Li Wanrou's firm attitude, she gave up.

"I went to deliver some food to Third Brother. I borrowed his cart last night and returned it a little late."

The sesame cakes in Yu Tiandiandian’s hand.

"Oh, that's what you should do. Go ahead. I'm still busy, so I'll leave first."

Zhao Tiezhu agreed, opened the wooden door, and walked back to his home.

But I just took two steps.

He was startled again.

Shaobing?

He blinked and walked out of the door again, looking at Yu Tian's back and the oil paper in his hand with mixed emotions.

When he saw Yu Tian entering the yard of his third brother's house, he frowned and returned to his home.

When she entered, Wang Chunxia was lying on the bed, fanning herself, looking relaxed.

"I'm hungry! Eat! Where's the food?"

Zhao Tiezhu threw his bag on the table angrily, making a loud noise.

"Why are you so angry!" Wang Chunxia stood up suddenly, without giving in, and pointed a cattail leaf fan at Zhao Tiezhu's head several times, "Who are you arguing with again? Come back and get angry with me! The rice is in the pot, take it yourself!

"

"I..."

Zhao Tiezhu's words were on his lips but he couldn't say them out.

For such a big captain, it can't be said that he felt uncomfortable when he saw Yu Tian holding sesame cakes.

With a sigh, he walked to the kitchen again while thinking about where Yu Tian got the money.

"Eat, eat, eat, just know how to eat!"

Wang Chunxia looked at his back, cursing and muttering.

But in the next second.

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the kitchen.

boom!

It was the sound of the iron pot lid being thrown to the ground.
