Back to 80, start from gold digging

Chapter 54
Sure enough, there was nothing on the chopping board next to the water tank except for a kitchen knife and two empty basins and a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks.There is nothing in the compartment below, such a big pig leg, if you put it in, you will be able to see it.

"Ah, the two of you are back. The food is about to be ready, you can eat directly." Zhao Wenlan didn't pay attention to the eyes of the two looking at the kitchen, she put the plates and began to pour soup into the basin.

Zhao Wenying looked away, looked into the pot, and asked, "There is meat in this cabbage soup, second child, did you go to the warehouse to get the meat just now?" I wanted to ask if Zhao Wenlan knew about it.

"No, there is meat at home. Mom and the others left a piece after eating in the afternoon. I thought it was enough to cook, so I didn't go." Zhao Wenlan didn't care, just thought she asked casually when she saw the meat.He didn't stop after answering, and entered the house with half a pot of vegetable soup.

Zhao Wenying didn't ask about the result, she exchanged glances with Zhao Wenduo, and followed her into the threshold.

Li Cuizhen's status in the family has always been unambiguous, and no one is allowed to doubt the decision.But such a big thing, you can't see it and pretend not to see it, what if it doesn't happen again?
The two sisters were preoccupied, washing their hands in slow motion.

Those who sat on Li Cuizhen's kang followed suit anxiously: "You two have been washing your hands for a long time, the table has been cleared, and you are still dawdling with that one, hurry up and eat at the table."

Zhao Wenying responded: "Hey, here we come." The movement of washing hands paused.

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Zhao Wenduo didn't wait any longer, and walked past her to dry his hands, and asked Li Cuizhen as he walked this way: "Mom, you gave someone a gift this afternoon, and there is less meat in the warehouse."

The words were not too complete, and the tone felt less blunt, which meant that she only talked about her discovery, not doubts about this behavior.

The two of them transported back those wild animals on the first trip. Li Cuizhen heard the movement and knew that they had just gone to dump the big tank and put it in it.Those pork are rare, and you can see if there is a piece missing.Adding in the piece that was used in the afternoon and evening, there are two whole pieces of square meat missing, and it is normal to notice something is wrong.

"Yeah, you have checked the number." There was almost no doubt, and the tone was affirmative.Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked her.

"Your mistress has also been here for two days. She said she was worried and wanted to go back and have a look at the family. When cooking in the afternoon, she said that our meat is good. The children in the family have never eaten such delicious pork. I thought about how busy she is. I was also a little tired from the busy schedule, so I promised to give her some meat. No, she went to get it before leaving."

I just praised how delicious it was, and the whole pork leg was given away. Zhao Wenduo was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Zhao Wenying also washed her hands at this time, and when she heard Li Cuizhen gave an affirmative answer, she knew that this was a fact that could not be changed, but she still couldn't help but feel distressed, and couldn't help sighing: "Mom, you are really generous. Yes, you just opened your mouth and you gave away a whole pork leg, it's really—hey!"

After raising the pigs for more than a year, it was not easy to feed them to a hundred catties. Didn't the old lady just say a few obedient words in vain, why did she lose her head and do such a stupid thing.

It's not how good the relationship is, it's just a mother-in-law of the second wife, who hasn't been in contact with her for a long time, and now she only made two meals when she came back, how tired she can be.

In Zhao Wenying's view, her mother committed a crime this time, and she was so stupid in giving birth to a child that she was so fooled that she even gave away such a good thing.But no matter how much he complained, it was just a few words of slander, and he didn't really say it.

One is to be afraid of its power, and the other is to worry about its body.

Send it all away, don't say any more inappropriate words, if you get angry with her mother, it will be even more harmless.

She didn't finish the half of her concern, but it was enough to make sense. The first few words alone made Li Cuizhen's eyes widen, and she lost her voice in shock: "What the hell, the whole pig leg, you say it again?"

Almost at the same time, a voice rang out from the outer room: "What, a pig leg was given away to someone, who was it given to?" Zhao Mingyu followed the group to collect peanuts in the village, and just returned home when she heard Zhao Wenying The tail of that half-sentence blew up at that time.

This is a person who is more noble when looking at meat than looking at himself. Let alone a whole pig leg, even a cut piece of meat will feel distressed when you give it to others. I came here so that others would eat less of that meat.

Zhao Mingyu's noise made the room even more chaotic.Li Cuizhen didn't care whether she was being yelled at or not, and she couldn't let go of the end of Zhao Wenying's words, insisting on asking her to explain clearly.

Until this moment, the two sisters Zhao Wenying and Zhao Wenduo suddenly realized that there was something else wrong with this matter.Both parties did not speak clearly enough, so that the whole thing was split, and there was a misunderstanding between each other.

In order to avoid this situation from happening again, the whole family got together to meet, each put what they knew and saw to the bright side, and the answer was ready to come out immediately.

Zhao Wennan even stood up, raised his hand and said: "I saw it. When the mistress came out of the village, she was carrying a big piece of meat on her shoulders. I greeted her, but she ignored me. She walked very fast, and disappeared after a while. son."

At that time, Zhao Wennan was skating and skating on the ice with several children in the village, and saw Bao Dongmei walking out of the village alone carrying meat.How could a five or six-year-old child think so much? When he saw it, he went over and asked.The other party ignored her and didn't care, and continued to play with her friends.

Now that the family had been talking for a long time, she realized that the big piece of meat was originally from her own family, and was secretly taken away by the old lady called mistress.

If there is less meat, there will be less food to eat in the future.Zhao Wennan was not happy anymore, pouted and said: "The mistress is really bad, she stole our meat, if you don't recognize her, don't call her a milk again."

Although it was an angry remark from a child, it also showed the Zhao family's attitude from the side.

"I knew she had a sweet mouth and a sharp heart. Smiling and squinting her eyes was a bad idea. She was like this when she was young. I thought she would change her sex when she was old. It turns out that a dog can't change eating shit."

Zhao Mingyu's intestines are green with regret these days, why didn't he tell the family members to be more careful.

Li Cuizhen said: "Don't say you didn't think about it, didn't I see it too? She said it in vain, but she was sincere. I knew she was not a good person, but I still believed it. Both of us are like this." , not to mention the children, they don't know that this is a smiling tiger, and they still think she is a good person."

"So, this old lady came here to cheat meat in the name of serving confinement?"

Zhao Wenduo summed it up. Bao Dongmei got the news from somewhere. Knowing that her family had killed the New Year pig to celebrate the newcomer, she came here as a mother-in-law. In order to let them relax their vigilance, she cooked pig's trotter soup by herself. .

Although she didn't get the expected effect, Li Cuizhen couldn't bear the oily stomach.But this guy actually worked hard, no one blamed her, and it made a good impression on her.

Taking advantage of this wave of favorability, Zhao Wenying was urged to go with him in various ways when going up the mountain until the goal was achieved.Zhao Mingyu's temporary transfer was considered unplanned, but it was exactly what she wanted.Even if there is no such thing as accepting peanuts, he must have come up with other tricks to send him away.

When the only confinement Li Cuizhen was left in the family, she happened to give full play to her penetrating tongue and used the fried meat as an excuse to start a lobbying campaign of praise and criticism, forcing Li Cuizhen to agree to the promise of the meat.

In the middle, I played a game of words, blurred the concept of "chunk", and replaced the meat side with pork leg.Taking advantage of the fact that no one in the family came back, and people in the confinement period would not easily get out of the house, they used a big cotton coat as a cover, wrapped their pig legs in a hurry and left.

Meeting Zhao Wennan at the entrance of the village was purely accidental, but the little girl who was a little bit big was useless, so she was ignored.Or rather, she didn't care at all.

Even if the little girl went home and mentioned this matter, she had already left for a long time at that time.As long as he wasn't caught on the spot, everything would be fine afterwards.

It is said that catching traitors takes doubles, and catching thieves takes dirt.Even if Bao Dongmei was found to have taken pork legs, she would have used her misunderstanding as an excuse and would never admit that she did it on purpose.

"Then it's just a piece of meat, it's a pig's leg, a whole pig's hind leg." Li Cuizhen almost beat her chest and stamped her feet. Why was she so careless at the time? Why didn't she think of this level when she saw her treacherous appearance? ?

But no matter how distressed she was, she only said that the pork leg was a thank you gift from them.Although I only cooked twice before and after, it is an indisputable fact.And Li Cuizhen did agree to deliver the meat, but she didn't specify clearly.Isn't the pork leg also meat, at most it's a bit bigger, and it really can't be said that she is stealing.

This is where she is cunning, she has already thought out the way out in advance.Knowing that even if they really choose to call the police, there is nothing they can do about her. If you told Li Cuizhen to give the meat to you, then it is not an exaggeration for her to choose a larger piece.

Realizing that she took advantage of her loopholes, Li Cuizhen felt even more depressed.This is holding my breath, I can't get anything if I don't have anything.

According to the old woman's urinating nature, even if she went to the door, she might not be able to get the pork leg back.Perhaps at this time, the bones and meat have already been removed, cooked in a pot and eaten in the stomach.

If you know you can't afford it, if you ask for it again, isn't that purely seeking to fight and get angry?
"Forget it, isn't it just a pig's leg, take it away, just take it away. Just let the old cat take it away, don't think about it." Zhao Mingyu said generously, as if he didn't care at all.In fact, the pain in my heart was bleeding.

That's the only way to go, after paying such a high price, I can see clearly what kind of person Bao Dongmei is, so naturally I have to be more careful in the future, and don't be fooled by her appearance.It can be regarded as a fall in the pit and a gain in wisdom.

The whole family accepted the dumb loss, and they were not prepared to struggle any further.

I don't want to, this matter is not over yet, the old woman in the bag not only took away a pork leg, but also took away another thing.

That night, the family who slept until midnight were woken up by the crying of the little baby.

The baby has a weak appetite, can't eat too much at one time, and digests milk powder quickly. On average, he needs to be fed every three hours, and has to get up at least three or two times at night.

When a mother usually does not sleep well at night, the baby wakes up when she cries.If there is milk, you can feed the baby even if you don’t want to get up and hold the baby in the bed.But Li Cuizhen's milk is still only a little bit, that is, the level of sweet mouth, which is not enough at all, and milk powder is still the main force.

These days, Zhao Wenying was in charge of making the milk powder, and she was the one who got up at night to coax Xiao Wu to feed her. This would reduce a lot of the burden and allow Li Cuizhen to sleep more and recover her body better.

With a mission in her heart, she naturally couldn't sleep well, and Zhao Wenying woke up almost at the first cry of Xiao Wu.But this is also a habitual reflex behavior. When the nerves react, the brain is still slow, and the body moves slowly.

Putting on his shoes, he walked to the chest of drawers almost in a daze, took a baby bottle and filled it with milk powder, poured warm water in the thermos bottle, and shook it mechanically.

Twenty or thirty milliliters of milk powder was brewed with warm water, and it cooled down after a short time.To be on the safe side, Zhao Wenying tested the temperature with the back of her hand, and then hugged and fed the baby.

Xiao Wu can be regarded as a relatively worry-free baby. In the past three days after birth, except for waking up hungry and crying a few times, basically there is not much movement, unlike some monthly babies who cry all night, adults are troubled Not to mention, I still get angry.

The three-day baby eats very slowly, and it takes about 8 minutes to feed the milk powder.Don't look at his slow movements, but he has been sucking hard all the time. If he is tired, he will stop for a moment, and then continue to eat.

He also needs to be fed eight or nine times a day, and the family members are well aware of the baby's work and rest habits. As long as he has milk, he will be confused for a while.Sometimes there is still some milk powder left, and I have already fallen asleep.

I thought it would be the same this time, except for Zhao Wenying, no one got up when they heard the movement, and closed their eyes and planned to go back to sleep.

But in the next second, the little baby who was drinking the milk stopped and suddenly yelled twice, and then continued to drink the milk.

The few people who were about to fall asleep were startled, a little surprised but didn't care, and continued to feel sleepy.

Less than ten seconds later, the crying sounded again, this time the sound was obviously louder, and she cried several times in succession, took another two sips of milk, and then cried again.

This time they all felt that something was wrong, and those who were awake all opened their eyes.Zhao Wennan, who was not woken up before, also woke up crying now.

Zhao Wenying said to Li Cuizhen who was sitting up: "Mom, something is wrong with Xiaowu. He never drinks milk like this. He seems hungry and can't drink. What's the matter?"

"Look, it looks like horse teeth, but how can there be such a small child, who can only get up after the full moon." Li Cuizhen bent down and looked at the lips and gums of her youngest son.

In order to save some electricity, a small fifteen-watt light bulb was lit in the room, and the dim yellow halo was not very clear.

Seeing her movements and frowning, Zhao Mingyu understood without explaining, went down to the chest of drawers to find a flashlight, covered the child's eyes with his palm, and shone a light into his mouth.

"No, it's not because of this." Li Cuizhen shook her head.

"Could it be that it hurts? It's only when you feel uncomfortable."

"Does it need to be said, if everything is comfortable, he will be able to eat milk." Zhao Mingyu looked at the youngest son with his eyes closed, crying a few times every three or two seconds, although the voice was not very loud, but still Feel distressed panic.

At this time, the three sisters from Kangshao also gathered around, and the whole family stared at the little fifth who was crying "ahah" from time to time, not knowing what to do for a while.

"Why don't you rub his stomach and see if it's okay?"

Zhao Wenduo has never been married or had children, and has no experience in raising children.But I can't help but have some son slaves and daughter slaves around me. When they talk about their precious deeds, it is really like the surging water of the Yellow River, and many dull people can talk eloquently for three days and three nights.

After work, I can always be forced to listen to some parenting scriptures, plugging my ears in one way or another.Even if you are not interested, you can always remember one or two this time.

Because the newborn baby is too small and the digestive system is not well developed, it is easy to inhale a lot of air because of feeding, crying, or eating too much milk, and cause intestinal colic due to allergies to milk protein. At this time, use Warm hands provide relief by massaging the tummy.

Although Zhao Wenduo couldn't completely judge whether Xiao Wu had the colic they said, but if he couldn't find the cause, he couldn't just watch it like this, and it wouldn't make any trouble if he tried it gently with his hands.

"It's okay to rub it, but maybe it's just my stomach is uncomfortable." Li Cuizhen has raised four children, and she still has some experience.Such a small baby, in addition to eating and sleeping, only these two things.I spend most of the day sleeping, and when I wake up and cry twice, I'm either hungry or tired, and that's all.

Just now, his mind was too slow to turn the strings, but when the third child reminded him, it turned out to be the opposite.

Zhao Wenying got the order, soaked her hands in hot water, dried them, put them on Xiaowazi's belly, and rubbed gently in one direction.

This method worked very well, Xiao Wu stopped crying after a while, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

Fearing that he would be hungry again, Zhao Mingyu went over to make milk powder and fed it to him again.

Xu Shi felt so comfortable rubbing his stomach, the little guy fell asleep halfway through eating.There is still a bottle in his mouth, and he sucks it twice from time to time.

Everyone thought it was over, and it was common for children to have a stomach ache. They burped and farted, and it was fine.

More than an hour later, when another cry sounded, the sleeping Zhao family members opened their eyes for the first time. Before they were fully awake, they were startled by the cry that followed.

How loud can a baby who is only three days old cry?

If this question was asked two hours ago, the Zhao family would always give the answer: it is similar to the meowing of a kitten, and the 'ahhh' is small and thin.

But this time, it was a completely opposite answer.

Li Cuizhen raised so many children, and they had never heard such a loud cry when they were young.

Xiao Wu's small body exploded with extraordinary strength, his whole body was exerting all his strength, his two little feet were kicking even harder, and he was crying hoarsely with his small voice.
