Dadongzi was quite surprised by his uncle's sudden visit before. He was still wondering why he wanted to come to him. Now after listening to his words, he guessed that his uncle might have been angry with his parents, so he came to him.
.
Thinking of this, he did not follow his uncle's words, but said: "What kind of luck? It's just that the tree roots and soil roots are too skinny."
"Your two children didn't burn firewood or paper, but they burned all the pork. Isn't it just bad luck?" Uncle Jiang said.
Just when Dadongzi was about to deny it, his wife Fang Xiuyun stepped forward and exclaimed, "It's true, tree roots and soil roots will not ruin food no matter how peeled they are!"
As she said this, she complained again, "Speaking of which, last year we also drew lots on the roots of my tree, and we caught two kilograms of fat meat. This year, it was either lean meat or bones. There was not a trace of fat in the eight kilograms of meat. What do you think?
Not bad luck."
"All that fat was taken away by the girl Dong Zi Niang picked up! People in the village said she was a lucky star. I think she only brought prosperity to the fourth child and his wife, and made us unlucky. Maybe they are lucky, but
By sucking our luck..."
Before he could continue, Dadongzi interrupted: "Uncle, please stop talking about luck, it's all superstition! As Captain Li said before, whoever spreads these feudal dregs will be the same as that Da Ya
Pick up dung water like a mother!"
"What kind of superstition?" Uncle Jiang blew his beard and glared in anger, "I'm talking to you, why are you using Captain Li to pressure me?"
Dadongzi snorted, "Anyway, I don't like hearing these words. If you want to say it, say it somewhere else, not at my house."
"Okay! I'm being treated like a donkey for my good intentions!"
Before turning to leave, Uncle Jiang seemed to have thought of something and said: "By the way! Just now I heard your fifth brother say what kind of cakes are there in Lingbao House. Maybe she is eating sesame cakes at this moment. Take a look at your house again.
During the Chinese New Year, you can only eat these blackened meats.
Why are you so unlucky? Think about it for yourself. Uncle, I am saying these things for your own good. There is something wrong with that girl. If you don’t believe it, forget it."
After he left, Fang Xiuyun couldn't help but said: "Dad, I think what your uncle said makes sense. Since your mother..."
"Okay!" Dadongzi said displeased, "Don't listen to my uncle's nonsense. His character is like that. He wants to save face and likes to make trouble. When he gets angry, he secretly interferes in other people's affairs."
"Ah? Are you angry?"
"He must be looking for fat from my parents! Do you really think he wants to help me?" Dadongzi said, "When I married you, I borrowed money from him, but he didn't borrow a penny.
Don’t marry a wife if you don’t have money.”
When he mentioned this matter, he became angry and said to his wife: "Anyway, don't listen to his instigation. I never believe in luck."
Fang Xiuyun just said the word "yes" and saw her husband's brows furrowed tightly. He obviously didn't want to continue this topic, so he had to shut up and stop talking.
At night, they put the barely edible meat into the pot and made broth. It was the best meal they had had in recent days.
"I will eat more meat tomorrow!" Tree Root picked out all the meat in the bowl and ate it all, and said loudly, "I want to eat more meat tomorrow!"
His father held back his temper and said, "What kind of meat should we eat? There is no meat at home. Captain Li gave out peanuts and corn cobs in the afternoon. We will eat corn tomorrow."
"If you don't eat corn, I want to eat meat. Mom, I want to eat meat..."
"Okay, okay, eat meat, and then eat meat tomorrow," Fang Xiuyun touched the eldest son's head and comforted, "You drink the broth in the bowl first, and tomorrow my mother will find a way to find pork for you.
eat."
"Great! There will be pork to eat tomorrow!"
When the two children were in high spirits, Dadongzi pulled his wife's arm and said, "What are you talking about? Will there be any meat for them to eat tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow you take Shu Gen and Tu Gen to your parents to pay New Year greetings, and then find an opportunity to talk about the accidental burning of the pork. If they still have your eldest son in their hearts, they should give you some meat."
"I won't say..."
"Why? If you don't think about yourself, you also have to think about your son. They look forward to eating some meat during the New Year at the end of the year. As a result, other people can eat for several days, but they can only eat one meal on New Year's Eve, which is a lot.
How pitiful?"
Dadongzi said angrily: "Didn't they burn the meat themselves?"
"They are still young. Oh, who didn't make mistakes when they were young? Have you never done anything wrong?" At this point, Fang Xiuyun said with a straight face, "Anyway, if you don't ask your parents for meat tomorrow, I will
Take the child back to her parents’ home!”
"Who goes back to her parents' house during the Chinese New Year? Do you want me to be laughed to death?"
"If you don't want to be laughed at, just ask for meat! Your uncle said before that Lingbao eats meat and sesame seed cakes. She was picked up by your mother, and she is not a biological daughter. They are so nice to a picked-up girl.
There’s no reason why you shouldn’t love your grandson, right?”
Hearing the daughter-in-law talk a lot more, the big guy's head was spinning, "Okay, okay, I get it, let me go and try it, okay?"
At Erhuazi's house, Huang Yuezhu was also thinking about the meat from her parents-in-law's house.
After finishing the dog meat and noodles, she thought about it for a long time, "Hey, it would be more delicious if there was some lard in the noodles, don't you think so?"
Seeing the child's father lowering his head to clear the dishes and paying no attention to her, she raised her voice and asked, "I'm asking you, are you mute or deaf? Why don't you speak?"
"What do you want to do? It's great if our family can eat meat and meat. You still want to eat lard." Erhuazi put the bowl he had put away into the basin and poured half a pot of hot water.
, squatting by the drain at the door and washing dishes.
His daughter-in-law walked to him with her son who was fed and asleep in her arms and said, "Anyway, you are going to your parents' place to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow. Just ask, maybe they are in a good mood after seeing the rich, so I will give you a few points."
It’s a piece of fat.”
"Two days ago, I didn't go to my parents' place to sit for a while, but you and that Liu Damei came here and made trouble like crazy, making them embarrassed in front of the neighbors. Now you want me to go to them to ask for fat? Are you serious?
Do you think I’m shameless?”
Regarding what happened that day, Huang Yuezhu also felt a little regretful, "It was Damei who said Lingbao was a monster. I was also afraid that you would be possessed."
"That person's brain is not normal, so you're going crazy with her, right?"
"Oh, haven't I already realized my mistake? Others say it's stupid to be pregnant for three years. I'm pregnant with your child now, so of course I'm stupid."
Seeing his wife's bulging belly, Erhuazi felt soft.
He put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up and took Fugui into his arms, "You are not feeling well, why are you holding the baby? You go in and have a good rest, don't freeze."
"As for the fat thing, you..."
Erhuazi sighed, "I'll go and find out tomorrow. It's impossible for them to give it to me for free. I'll ask my father if he's willing to sell some to me."
"Sneeze!" Jiang Qingshan from the Jiang family suddenly sneezed.
His wife asked: "What's wrong? Is it because you have a cold?"
"No, maybe someone is talking about me behind my back..."
After jokingly speaking, Jiang Qingshan put the braised rabbit meat into Lingbao's bowl, "Lingbao eats a lot of meat, but also wants a bowl of noodles? Dad will put it in for you."
Little Lingbao finished the meat that his father gave him and rubbed his belly, "I won't eat anymore. Lingbao's belly is small and he is full."
Her brothers were still devouring their food, stuffing noodles and meat into their mouths. They were obviously full, but they couldn't bear to stop using their chopsticks.
