Chapter 260 The Suffering of the Northeast

Yu Qiniang went into the house and saw the old lady working, and she felt anxious.

Spending so much money on medicine, the medicine is boiled twice a day.

If the stretch is too severe due to this kind of work, I need to take the medicine for a few more days, which one is more or less? It doesn't seem like he can settle accounts.

But feeling anxious, Yu Qiniang started vomiting without saying a word.

This baby was conceived at the wrong time. It was true that the baby was conceived when the family was at its busiest.

That night, the condom was taken away by Tian Xin. It was such a coincidence that I didn't expect that I would be tricked after not having fun for several years.

"Ugh... ugh!"

Every time Yu Qiniang made a sound of vomiting, Zhao Di would use her legs to trip Nan Nan, fearing that the child would crawl over and eat raw soybeans by mistake.

The child who was playing on the kang was frightened by the sound of vomiting. The child pointed at Yu Qiniang with his little finger and turned to look at Zhao Di, as if to say: "She seems to have the same disease as you, so she is all on the kang." .Bad habits."

The old lady looked at Yu Qiniang and thought worriedly: Why don't you come and lie down on the kang? You are more evil than me. You are so vomiting that you can't straighten your back.

The old lady also slowly stretched out her legs and used her toes to hook the soybeans she picked into the kang. She was afraid that Yu Qinniang would spit out the beans, so she had to pick these with great difficulty.

The old lady thought of something again, and her eyelids twitched. She must not let Xiaoqin serve the bean sprouts today. Xiaoqin is too diligent and must be stopped. Don't say wow again...

Her bean sprouts are six days old and are about to grow well.

Before going to war, she was so angry as a toad that she still watered the bean sprouts, but don't wait for her to vomit them and wait to sell them for money. Her great-granddaughter also wanted to eat fried soybean sprouts with pig skin.

When the old lady looked for Big Moon with her eyes, there was movement outside the courtyard.

"we are coming!"

Yu Qiniang's eldest brother Dali appeared at the door of the house. The table full of his two sons, and of course the three brothers Dapeng, Dafei and Daniao, appeared at the door.

In the yard, there are tables full of people, although they are happy that the donkeys are here. The donkeys are doing the hard work and the donkeys are finally here.

But when they saw the big dogs at the door, they started to feel disgusted again: "You guys don't know what to do for lunch. Later, a few big pots will occupy the beans, and they will cook for several hours. This is good, and it's okay. Gotta cook for these dogs.”

Huzi was his biological son and dared to tell the truth: "Mom, why don't we come here on the sledge?"

It's so cruel. All the oxcarts were out today. I heard that they wanted them to come here, but they weren't willing to feed them.

Besides, it was a waste of time to come here. After they finished their grinding, they still had to dig out the ice to catch fish, which was not easy in such a busy schedule.

The whole table asked again: "Has the guest left?"

"Both groups left, and Nvdi's group left last. The old madam also pestered my aunt to buy cooking recipes, but my aunt didn't sell her. She said she would wait until she ran out of money."

The whole table stood in the corn baskets and immediately said: "That means we will never sell it. Our family will never have no money. Your aunt will always have money. Bah, bah, bah, let me tell you, what will our family rather say in the future? There is sound, but there is no sound if you don’t say anything.”

Huzi muttered: "Mom, you just want to brag about it later."

"Yes, chattering, especially during the Chinese New Year and festivals, to bring good luck. Stop talking nonsense and get to work quickly."

Yu Qiniang listened to the voices outside, her face was pale, she didn't bother to clear the kang mat, and ran to the kitchen to look through the pickled cabbage jar.

Standing beside the tank is beautiful.

The two of them took out a spoon and took a sip of the pickled cabbage soup at the same time.

Mrs. Xu didn't let them drink pickled cabbage soup. It was pickled vegetable water, not stewed soup. How can a pregnant woman drink that?
  When they want something sour, Mrs. Xu will give them some frozen mountain grapes or frozen red fruits.

Isn’t the only reason your family makes money is to eat well? Even if you are willing to give to your guests, how could you possibly betray your daughter-in-law and goddaughter?

But these two people are still weird. Just drinking that water can suppress their nausea immediately.

The two of them were in a hurry and couldn't afford to wait for the fruit to thaw.

So the old lady didn't need to guess when she was in the house. Xiaoqin took advantage of her mother-in-law not being at home to drink that crap again. That pickled cabbage soup will develop a layer of white hair after a long time. How can you fix it if you give birth to a peach?

At the same time, another group of people came outside.

The parade of old ladies is coming.

Pepper, Dahongzi, Da'ezi, vegetable buns. There is also the old lazy daughter-in-law who took a bath last night and the eggplant-wrapped daughter-in-law who has a bunch of pears.

To be honest, in the past, except for pepper, these people were not good at anything else. They were the most annoying people to Liu Laozhu who liked to gossip about his wife.

Liu Laozhu’s original words:

The whole day seemed like a day off, they were there wherever there was excitement.

And it's like a female headhunter. Whether an outsider comes to the village is a drop-in or a thief. These women are the ones who are evil. You can tell it through their facial expressions.

If a relative came from someone else's house, it wouldn't be enough for them. Before their own family members could figure out why they were here, my dear, those women had already spread the word: "I'm sure they're here to borrow money and food. "

However, perhaps because of this observation ability and the courage to speak, since Erdaohe opened the shop, these women have clearly stood out. Following in the footsteps of Mrs. Xu, they have changed from the most fond of gossiping to the most A woman who can sell goods and rice.

Isn't that right? The whole table was a little surprised: "Didn't my elder sister give you guys a holiday? You were exhausted after working for half the night yesterday."

A few people thought: Not to mention half a night of work, even three nights of work, is this work? This is called human nature.

If you want to live a prosperous life in the village, you must not let the boss call the shots in your mind.

And their slogan is, work without eating, just work.

"Xiaoqin, you're not an outsider, so don't take our share when you make the dough. We'll leave as soon as we're done. The kids at home have prepared lunch, and we have to go to the shop in the afternoon. The men have finished digging holes in the ice to catch fish. We are going to the shop to pick up the fish, and when it’s time to freeze, we’ll freeze it.”

When he went into the house, took off his headscarf, and took over the soybeans, he advised the old lady:
  "Old lady, just lie down and watch, how can I let you do this job? It's no coincidence that the effort is twice as tiring, and you have your hands under your armpits. Isn't that even more tiring? We will finish it in a while."

Indeed, as soon as these women arrived, dustpan after dustpan of corn was brought into the house, and within a short time the whole house was browned.

The women sat on small benches, holding corn husks in one hand and corn in the other. They ate corn kernels with both hands and started to work without delay.

The corn in the Northeast has been exposed to the wind and sun of autumn and winter, and the corn kernels are all dry. Therefore, they are piled in the corn building outside. As long as they are prevented from being chewed by mice, they are covered with straw mats and thatch roofs. Keep it out of snow and rain, and you won’t have to worry about it getting damaged.

"It's dry-brushed. (Corn kernels are dried.) My sister's corn is so good. You can seal the bag directly after grinding the big ballast. Unlike other people who have to spread it on a kang to dry."

"Otherwise, her family should have good luck this year. I thought about it later. Although her potatoes and sweet potatoes were smaller, they were not flooded, unlike mine. Her cabbage also grew well. . By the way, Qin Niang, are you going to pickle sauerkraut again? I see there is only one jar of sauerkraut left in the shop, and even I feel anxious when I look at it. What should I do? I don’t dare to take my sauerkraut. Reach out and help marinate it, your mother marinates it well, it’s not as black as mine.”

Yu Qinniang said: "Yes, I have opened the cellar door a long time ago. When people can get out later, I will go down to get the cabbage and ask my beautiful sister to send it directly to the shop in a donkey cart. I guess it will take three trips to get there. Pickle.”

Pepper immediately waved his hand and said: "You are too weak. Just wait a moment. My Jingdong did his studies until early in the morning last night and he hasn't gotten up yet. If it doesn't work, call him later and ask him to go down to the cellar to carry cabbage."

Next to him, Da'ezi was picking up the corn and touching the pepper with his elbow. Haoxin'er asked, "If you don't go to school after the New Year, why do you still want to learn?"

Speaking of this, Pepper was a little proud:

"Those who are studying are not allowed to sit idle. They are asked to write six articles and hand them in after the new year.

Last night, my Jingdong, yes, I came back from here and felt very energetic, but I had to tinker with it, otherwise I would be anxious and afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish it.

Don't tell me, it's great to make that poem, I can memorize it.

The child's father also said that after finally seeing some money, he agreed not to work in vain. "

Everyone cheers and memorizes it quickly, how can it have anything to do with work?
  Pepper cleared her throat and recited:
  “When I get up early in the morning, I go to the shop and work until I can’t see you at night.

Chewing two pieces of rice in his mouth, he bent his waist against the strong wind. "

After only two sentences, everyone said, "What a poem, what a poem." right?

Pepper continued to recite:
  “With glacier pliers in hand, it takes a long time to catch fish.

It’s not easy at the end of the day, and I don’t even light the lamp when I get home for dinner.

How are you? "

The whole room was filled with laughter.

This time even the old lady gave a thumbs up and smiled with wrinkles. But that's not it. Studying is not a waste of money. It sounds much better to her than the poems Tian Xin recited, and she can understand them clearly.

The ladies in the house were chatting and laughing, rubbing corn, picking beans, washing soybeans and grinding them.

Yu Qiniang was also busy digging out the celery that could no longer be grown with a smile on her face. Wash the celery root, and cut some kohlrabi and carrot slices. Wrap these three items with clean gauze and put them in a sauce jar. After a few days, take them out and turn them into small pickles, which you can keep for your own porridge.

After finishing this work, I went to the backyard to pick up a bunch of frozen green onions and used the soil where the celery was grown to plant green onions.

The second lazy wife was curious: "Are these the fresh onions that the guests eat? Is it okay to just plant frozen onions?"

Yu Qinniang told her without any secret:

"My mother-in-law grows it like this, but you need to have holes at the bottom of the flower pot to let it breathe. If you are afraid of water leakage, put a plate at the bottom to cover it, and then you can eat fresh onions in more than a month." My aunt replied. Try it at home.”

Yu Qinniang didn't hide it because she knew that her mother-in-law was growing onions in the shop. Mrs. Xu didn't want to hide it.

"What are you trying? When I heard it would take more than a month, I got a big head. What the heck are we trying to do to eat that, but we can't sell it? What you grow at home is enough for the guests. We'll wait until it's not enough."

After Yu Qiniang planted the onions, she took the kitchen knife and Meizhuang outside to the cellar to check if there were any mice. She trimmed the cabbage directly inside the cellar and picked up some potatoes in a bag.

In the courtyard, Dapeng was already sweating and grinding the big ballast, while Da Fei and Da Niao were grinding the rice with rice hulls.

Dayue has a dustpan in one hand and a broom in the other. Her face is red with cold, and she collects corn bran, rice bran and rice bran.

Another group of people filled the table and took her stupid brother and Yingzi to the Guan family a long time ago to use the Guan family millstone to do the above things.

The third group, Dali and Huzi, were next door, passing corn to them across the wall and grinding it.

So he called his sister vigorously and expected Liu Jingdong to carry the food. After a while, they took the time to carry it, and it was not like they were not at home.

Dali was also a good at making ends meet. He wished he could cover the millstone next door with a piece of cloth so that the chaff would not be blown away by the wind.

After all, in the eyes of bankers, no matter what, it is useful.

The corn bran left after grinding the big ballast should be kept to feed the cattle.

In addition to being fed to poultry, rice bran and rice bran can also be kept for fish, fishing and to fertilize land. This thing is especially good for improving the soil for growing fruits, vegetables and flowers.

When it comes to rice bran, to be honest, Dali has never eaten polished rice before, so I really don’t understand that the layer of rice that needs to be ground off again is called rice bran.

It was when he came to Xu's house that he ate real white rice for the first time, which was a bit white.

The broken rice and rice bran are called rice bran, and the Xu family grinds them very finely.

To the bankers, this is too wasteful.

Not to mention Dali, even the women in the house were very emotional:
  "We don't want to spend our time eating. Seeing those guests eating makes me feel bad, tut tut."

"Why are you distressed? It's not that you don't want to give me money. If you don't make it more generous, can you sell it at a higher price?"

"That's true. What I want to say is that although my family is still reluctant to eat this kind of rice, I am always content with my life now. Do you remember? Erbaldy's family used to be worse than ours. His family didn't even have the outermost layer. I wish I didn’t even grind the shell... Emma, ​​isn’t Yingzi here?”

"gone."

"Ah, then I can rest assured. At that time, I didn't apply rouge on myself anymore. I was not very smart, and I would still laugh at others. In fact, when I think about it now, I always laughed at others. No one has a better life than anyone else when living on half a catty to eight ounces. Just as it is, that old bald man is really honest and honest. I laughed at him so much. He also said that eating like this would not cause athlete's foot, so he persuaded me in a practical way. The feet will not be scratched."

Pepper changed into a new dustpan, and her dustpan was full of rubs. After hearing this, she immediately answered: "It's true that I can't help it. My Lao Zhu said that the two bald people don't tell lies regardless of whether their life is good or bad."

Is it true who is nagging you? Even if a bald man doesn't have athlete's foot, just look at the thick layer of skin on his heels. It's disgusting to look at. It is specified that I don’t soak my feet very much. There is no strong laborer in the family to fetch water.

What makes me nagging is this satisfaction.

The second lazy daughter-in-law suddenly looked at the old lady lying on the kang: "Old lady, really, you don't know how grateful I am to your daughter-in-law. She's not here, so I'll just talk to you all the time. The one in front of me is at my house. Kouzi also chatted with me at night, saying that the boss knew in advance that there was no secret in the mutual trade, so several shops opened in the village, giving us all a place to go."

He choked up as he spoke: "The villagers nicknamed our old man Erlao Laozhan, but old sisters, we say ourselves, are we lazy? In previous years, when it was freezing outside, we would stand in front of the firewood pile and say hello to each other. , it’s time for the cat to winter.”

Mao Dong: Like a cat, find a warm place and do nothing.

The second lazy wife continued to dig into her heart and said:
  "It sounded very happy, with a smile on my face, saying that it was time to take a rest after a busy year with my face facing the loess and my back turned to the sky. In fact, I knew how empty I felt in my heart.

Since I had no work to do, I had been eating this little food since the cold weather.

Opening your eyes, a family of ten or twenty people has to eat. Even the New Year's Day is not a real joy.

Because I have to cook more food on New Year’s Day, I will be panicking for a few months. "

"That's true." Da'ezi and the others sighed and nodded.

"So we all don't want Mao Dong, and I'm not lazy either.

Don't wait around, no one will hire us to work in this cold weather.

Only after meeting those guests this time did I realize that there are places outside that are very warm in this season. At least I can stretch out my hands to work, and even if I urinate, it won't turn into ice. You said we can't go there. It would be great if I could work there for half a year, but we don’t want Mao Dong.

But now, I don't have to leave home to earn money every day. In my family's words, can I not be grateful? It has been many years, but only in the past few months have I smiled sincerely, and I still don’t panic when I see half a tank of food left. "

The eggplant-wrapped daughter-in-law is crooked with pears. Listen to her name. She may have been picky in the past. She had to say something about someone and that was to look down on her family. She pestered her every day.

Now he looked at Pepper and said, "That's true. Thank you to Brother Li Zheng, eh? Sister-in-law." Suddenly he choked and burst into tears.

Ji Pepper felt helpless for a moment, and laughed loudly: "Everyone's feelings are more abundant than the rain this year. You said you guys, if you are really grateful to watch over the person involved, tell us anything, right, aunt. This hasn't happened yet. It’s the Chinese New Year. If you can’t celebrate the Chinese New Year, let’s have some drinks and let’s see how many people cry.”

Waibianerli thought to herself:

Pepper, you idiot, you still don’t know what everyone has said about your Lao Zhu behind his back?
  Everyone said that Li Zheng used to do some errands for some family in the village and even asked for a few pennies in favors. He was so cruel that he bought his eldest son a house and a shop in the big city.

But... look at him, he is wearing a torn cotton-padded jacket every day, his nose is bruised and his face is swollen from the cold, and he is leading a group of fishermen, his eyes are red with the smell of fish, and he is still entertaining the caravans happily despite his age.

No matter what bad things Li Zheng did, let's all forgive him. Chong him to open the shop, and together with the Xu family, Wan family, Meizhuang family, and Wang family, let so many people have work.

forgive. Even though they had committed murder and arson in the past, they were still good at being honest. In contrast to their current good attitude towards everyone.

Although the old lady was lying on the kang and smiling at everyone, this was the first time she realized how much her daughter-in-law had changed their lives.

Sometimes we ourselves don’t think anything of it, so we just look for people to work normally.

It turns out that gratitude is so heavy in other people’s hearts.

After Yu Qinniang finished trimming the cabbage, she walked into the house carrying a kitchen knife and was startled. Why did she cry so much? Are you crying because your hands hurt and you are tired?

At the same time, the reason why Mrs. Xu did not return to the village was because someone came from Lei's home.

Leili was bringing twelve people, but only two cars, because there were not so many cars in his village, and the extra goods had to be carried on foot by these people in baskets.

"Hey, Lei Lizheng, my granddaughter is still looking for you. I want you to find some kinds of grass next year."

When Lao Lei saw Mrs. Xu, he started unloading things: "I will find everything for the baby. Sister, these are the forest frogs and loaches that our villagers brought to your family. They are all frozen to death. Don't dislike it. Don't. I don’t need money to buy so many jelly fruits and peaches in our village. You don’t know how much everyone appreciates your children’s ideas, and your family really bought a lot. By the way, where is my old brother?”
