Huang Yuezhu didn't even think about it, and immediately replied: "It's a lucky star! The kind of lucky star that can bring good luck! I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it. That baby is a real spirit, no wonder it's called Lingbao!"
"Hey, your father-in-law's legs are really good because of Lingbao?"
"I don't know about that, but I think it must be related. Anyway, since I picked up the doll, my mother and the others have had meat to eat every now and then." When she said this, Huang Yuezhu's tone became sour.
"I didn't expect it was a girl I picked up. At first I thought the child was born to them," Uncle Shen said.
His wife nodded, "Me too, I thought it was quite amazing that they could give birth to such a small baby at their age. I didn't expect that the baby was not their biological child, but yes, that girl was so beautiful. , her skin is dewy and supple, and she doesn’t look like our rural dolls.”
"Yes, that little face is so tender that you can squeeze water out of it."
"Don't let it be the child that the city people accidentally left behind, right? Who would be willing to throw away such a beautiful baby? If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to give it up. Even if I don't have money to eat rice, as long as I have a mouth to eat wild vegetables, I still have to raise it. Come on." Aunt Shen said.
Her sister-in-law said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you can't say for sure! Even among the people in the city, no one likes baby girls now. They all want to have sons."
"Yeah, let me see, that child was probably lost by her biological parents. Otherwise, why would she be willing to stay in our countryside without crying or making trouble? I think she is also very close to Su'e. She looks like He regards her as his own mother."
Huang Yuezhu had never thought about Lingbao's biological parents, so she couldn't help but wonder at this moment, "It's true, looking at the intimacy between her and mother, people who don't know really think that Lingbao is mother's daughter... "
"Such a small baby has little memory. She quickly forgets her biological parents. Now she regards whoever treats her well as her biological mother."
When a few people were talking, Wu Chaozi's voice came from outside, "Mom! I've bought some things! We really got food!"
"What? Did you buy some vegetables?" Uncle Shen stood up in surprise.
Huang Yuezhu didn't know about grocery shopping, so she was surprised at the moment, "Mom is so crazy! She just brought a whole pig for everyone to eat, and she actually went out to buy groceries? With so many people, how much do you need to buy? Food?"
She covered her stomach with one hand, and stood up holding the table with some difficulty with the other hand. She walked to the door and saw Sihaizi and Wuchaozi pushing two carts into the yard.
Hearing that they bought vegetables, everyone immediately gathered around, "Chaozi, you went to buy vegetables? What did you buy?"
"My car is full of radishes, and my fourth brother's car is full of radishes and celery," Wu Chaozi said, "Hurry up and help move the car out."
Everyone opened the sack and saw that it contained big and round radishes. They were pleasantly surprised and said, "Oh, it's really a radish!"
"Everyone, come and take a look. Chaozi and Sihaizi bought radishes. These bags are full of radishes..."
"And there's celery, I haven't eaten celery in a long time!"
A large number of people gathered around the cart, holding the radish and looking up and down, "This radish looks so fresh! It looks like it was just pulled out of the mud."
Uncle Shen and the others also gathered around at this time. They greeted Sihaizi and Wuchaozi first, chatted for a while, and then asked them where they bought the vegetables.
Others were also curious, "Yeah, where did you buy so many vegetables? Which production team sold them to you?"
"Is there a production team growing radishes in the fields nearby? I don't think I've heard of it! There shouldn't be a production team growing radishes, right? These radishes are not valuable."
"You can't buy them at the market, right? Who can grow so many radishes in their yard? Even if they are grown, they wouldn't be willing to sell them all."
When everyone was talking about it, Wu Chaozi told the lie he had thought about for a long time, "We didn't find the production team, nor did we go to the market. We just shouted along the village, asking who had food, and we paid three cents."
Money buys a pound.
No one paid any attention to us in the first two villages we looked for. Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the third village, hey! Many people sold us the radishes they grew at home, and some sold celery..."
He spoke vividly, and even deliberately made up a joke, saying that a couple was bargaining with him, and surprisingly they wanted to sell a pound of radishes for two and a half cents.
"Hahahaha, I said yes, let's give it two and a half cents. They were about to collect the money when they suddenly thought, something is wrong. It's not two cents and five cents, but three and a half cents. Give me and my fourth brother
LOL."
Sihaizi admired his fifth brother from the bottom of his heart, thinking that Chaozi was telling lies after another, so much so that he almost believed that he had bought the carrot from someone in a certain village.
In the kitchen, Shen Su'e couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
Erhuazi whispered: "Mom, this Chaozi is very good at talking!"
"Mom, please tell Chaozi to stop talking." After making sure that everyone had gone out to look at the radishes and celery, and that there was no one else in the kitchen, Sanleizi said, "If he keeps talking, don't make it more confusing."
.”
After hearing this, Shen Su'e hurried out of the kitchen and shouted in the direction of the crowd: "Chaozi, what are you talking about? There are so many things, just buy the vegetables. Send them over quickly. The radishes need to be peeled. You need to peel them."
If you want to make it into a dish, you have to cut it into shreds and use it to fry the pork belly!"
Hearing the words "fried pork belly", many people present drooled and hurriedly wiped the corners of their mouths with the back of their hands.
Shen Su'e then directed: "Don't open the bags yet. Bring each bag to the kitchen first. A few more people will come to the kitchen to help peel it!"
Also, there are not enough kitchen knives. You go home and bring a kitchen knife and a chopping board to help cut the radish. I guess there is not enough space in the kitchen, so I have to cut it in the hall. Dadongzi, you can arrange this."
Dadongzi said "OK" and took the lead in carrying the radishes.
Li Guangzheng walked into Jiang's courtyard at this time. He had just organized the members to carry their tables to the production team square. At this moment, he happened to see everyone moving things. He hurriedly pulled someone and asked: "What is this thing being moved?"
ah?"
"Carrot! Oops, I'm so old!"
"Carrots? So many of them are radishes? Where did the radishes come from?"
The person in question repeated Chaozi's words succinctly, "Aunt Shen said she would make pork belly and stir-fried shredded radish for us. Captain Li, we are in for a treat today. I don't know how long it has been since I had such a serious meal."
It’s ready.”
Li Guangzheng said "tsk", "This can't be done!"
"What? What doesn't work?"
Without answering his question, Li Guangzheng walked under the eaves, clapped his hands vigorously a few times, and said loudly: "This wild boar was picked up by the Jiang family, and this dish was bought with the Jiang family's own money. We can't eat it for nothing."
?”
Everyone looked at him in confusion, "Captain Li, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, you should pay more or less for this banquet. At least you can't let anyone lose money. Otherwise, who will treat you in the future? I think it is the most basic courtesy to give red envelopes to the banquet, whether adults or adults.
Children, everyone should contribute at least five cents. Isn’t this too much to ask for?"
After about two seconds of silence, someone said loudly: "It's not too much! It costs 20 cents to go to the market to drink a bowl of broth. If beef soup costs 50 cents, let's eat a whole pig feast now, and only one person can eat it."
Five cents is too cheap, right?"
Jiang Qingshan said hurriedly: "No, no, I said I was going to treat everyone to a meal, why do I have to pay for it? No need! To be honest, I am happy from the bottom of my heart to have the opportunity to treat everyone to a meal! You also know that I couldn't do it before
I walk and lie in bed every day. Every year during the Chinese New Year, my house is deserted and the whole family looks downcast.
I often think, I am the one who has caused trouble to everyone. I cannot walk or help. I lie in bed every day and drag others down. What are I still doing here?
I never dreamed that at my age, I would have such a wonderful baby girl. Now I can not only walk, but also run. Seeing you come to my house in such a lively way to celebrate the birth of our Jiang family.
I am so happy that Lingbao is such a good child..."
For a moment, everyone present felt moved.
"Just to tell Fourth Uncle Jiang, this money must be paid for! Everyone agrees, right?"
