Aunt Zhu from the east courtyard smelled the vague aroma in the air, her already slightly mean face looked even more indifferent. The greedy woman of the Niu family was making delicious food again. It didn't matter whether it was adults or not, but the children could smell it.
It smells bad and always causes a lot of fuss for two days.
He muttered to Zhu Tiezhu: "What do you mean by the captain's house? Why didn't you even get a reply? Otherwise, I would go to his house later and ask."
Zhu Tiezhu was calm: "The brigade has been buzzing about in the past few days, so how can we talk about this? Let's wait until the big well calms down."
Aunt Zhu: "You said that I wasn't very happy about this marriage at first, but now it's on the table. If it doesn't happen, our family will have to make people laugh. I'm very nervous."
Uncle Zhu thought more than Aunt Zhu. This marriage was originally about their family's house. Even if you name a flower, the Zhu family can't get rid of this reputation. If it really doesn't happen, his face will definitely not look good: "The whole thing
God is so unpredictable."
She shook her cattail leaf fan, smoked dry smoke, and ignored Aunt Zhu.
Tian Tian was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard, and with his careful attention, he could hear what was said next door. It was estimated that Zhu Tiezhu must have had some confidence in his heart and felt that the marriage was a good one.
Tian Ye curled her lips here, if her boss Zhu dared to marry her, she would deal with this kid eight times a day.
When will it rain today? In the middle of the night, Tian Ye was awakened by the sound of the Zhu family entering the house next door. He followed him into the house to rest like a thief.
In the past two days, apart from carrying water from the well to water the fields, I felt a little restless when I got home. I never knew that I could be so flustered just for a bite to eat.
The lady Niu next door is a greedy person. Her family is the only one in the village that cooks stew every now and then. When I smell the smell through the courtyard wall, I can eat two more bowls of rice sticks.
Ever since the old hen was slaughtered, Ye Ye has been looking forward to the beef stew from Mrs. Niu's family. When the time comes, she will stew the old hen in the pot and cover the kitchen tightly. The smell will come out and people will smell it, and they will say it is beef.
From my eldest mother's side.
It's really hard to eat something.
Aunt Niu's family always refused to improve the food, and Tian Tian couldn't stand it any longer. He got another piece of chicken fat, cut the corn pancakes into small pieces and fried them with the chicken fat. While eating, Tian Tian shed tears of sadness.
She didn't even look at this thing before, but now she holds it with both hands and eats it like a treasure.
The cow lady next door finally made some noise. Tian Tian could hear her muttering to herself from all over the yard: "Why does this nose keep getting the smell of meat? It's so fragrant."
Uncle Niu: "You are a greedy bitch, you know how to eat all day long. No wonder our family can't save much money."
Aunt Niu’s reasons were much better than Uncle Niu’s: “Why don’t you say you’re a coward? A mother-in-law has to be calculating when she eats meat. Who can I leave the money to?”
Uncle Niu was silent. His first wife died when she gave birth to a child, so he later married Aunt Niu, who gave birth to a daughter for Uncle Niu.
The cow auntie was delicious, but the daughter was big, and the birth was not smooth, which hurt her body, and she never got pregnant again.
Aunt Niu's treatment of Uncle Niu's first son is not bad, but it is definitely not good. If the girl can eat something full, she might give her son a bite.
When Uncle Niu's son was able to establish a family, he moved out and lived on his own, and he was not angry with his stepmother.
Aunt Niu's daughter also married from another village, and there were only two people in the family. The money to support her daughter was to support her son-in-law with a foreign surname, which Uncle Niu didn't like.
Aunt Niu can go to great lengths to support her son, so Aunt Niu has always said that praising the family's wealth is useless. Besides, these days, we can't have much to eat or drink, so it would be nice to have enough to eat.
Aunt Niu got angry when she mentioned it. In her words, Uncle Niu is a wife-suppressant. Otherwise, how can we have a good relationship with our wives and have children even in trouble?
She didn't have a son, so instead of saying she couldn't have a baby, she blamed Uncle Niu. Every time she was confused, she always used it as a reference, because Uncle Niu got a little discouraged when he was in front of Aunt Niu.
As long as Aunt Niu doesn't go too far, Uncle Niu can tolerate her.
Mrs. Niu was so greedy by the smell in her nose that her mouth watered. She went to the vat to get the bacon: "Today we will stew the meat."
Uncle Niu: "Eat, eat, whatever you want. It's already this time, and I still have to work in the afternoon."
Auntie Niu wants to eat it, but what Uncle Niu says is nonsense.
Tian Ye was so happy here that he didn't even eat the fried corn pancakes. He quickly took out the old hen that he had packed and boiled it in water. When the aroma came from the stove in the west courtyard next door, the old hen in Tian Tian's pot was also stewed.
Already.
I smell the smell of my own stove with satisfaction, it’s so fragrant.
Tian Ye has closed all the doors and windows in the kitchen tightly. Stewing old hens will definitely taste better than stewing old bacon.
Before the old hen was cooked, Tian Tian drank several bowls of old hen soup, eager to make up for all the nutrients he had lacked in the past few years.
Listening to the neighbor's call for dinner, Ye Ye took the old hen out of the pot and put it in the space. Unfortunately, Mrs. Niu was too quick to talk and her old hen couldn't stay in the pot for a while.
Sitting in the yard with two big chicken legs, I wanted to chew the bones.
Tian Tian heard the cow lady next door wondering: "How come this meat tastes better when it is stewed than when it is eaten?"
Tian Tian almost laughed out loud. This lady cow's nose is also one of the best in the village. No wonder she can smell the smell and come to visit.
Uncle Niu: "The meat no longer tastes good, and you are used to it, too."
The chicken in the west courtyard has just stopped, and the old hen that Tian Tian has been thinking about for many days has finally arrived.
After so many days, Lao Zhu's family finally couldn't sit still anymore.
What did Captain Tian mean when he said he was not humming? Zhu Tiezhu went to his cousin Accountant Zhu to ask him about it.
Captain Tian agreed to the matter when he saw that he could not delay it. He just said that the village had been too busy recently and had forgotten about it.
When Zhu Accountant Xin said that they were digging wells to fight the drought, the two brigade cadres did not stop for a while: "If we wait for a while, it will be better if it rains a little. Because of the drought, several girls in the village have become engaged to people from other villages."
Captain Tian clicked his pipe and responded: "I'll ask your sister-in-law to talk to the girl later."
Zhu Laoer's sales of poles have not been able to sell in the past two days. He has sent them to several places in the county but cannot sell them. After this season, who is still short of poles?
Only then did Zhu Laoer realize that this thing was not a long-term business. The two of them sold the last batch of poles for 50 cents, which was half sold and half given away.
Tian Xiaowu and the two were still planning to build a big house by selling poles. It seemed that they could not succeed, but having five yuan in their hands still gave Zhu Laoer a lot of confidence.
When he was at home, he would sit on the doorstep all day long, chewing dried sweet potatoes, and talking about the things that educated youths do, his face was no longer so gloomy.
In Zhu Laoer's eyes, his brother is a fool at this time.
If Zhu Tiezhu hadn't been so majestic in his heart, Zhu Laoer would probably have the guts to look down upon this father who had spoiled such a son like this.
With two dollars in his hand, he felt that he was so capable that no one could look down upon him. Zhu Laoer was at this stage now.
