Chapter 4 Leek Bacon
Mrs. Liu is old, and she has to squint her eyes when looking at people. Su Yu is not afraid of being looked at by her. She holds the eggs and shines them on the sun, and quickly picks twenty eggs. The old man is old, and she Don't even bargain with her.

"Grandma Liu, I've made my choice. I want twenty of these. The money will be given to you when my mother comes back in the evening. I'll take the eggs away first."

"Okay, take it."

After leaving Grandma Liu's house, Su Yu quickly returned home carrying fifty eggs. He searched around the house but couldn't find anything suitable, so he had to take a wood that was rarely used at home. basin, I went to the firewood shed to get some straw and knead it vigorously. After the straw became soft, I spread it thinly on the bottom of the wooden basin. Then I put the eggs I bought today into it and took it to my room. I pulled out a corner of the cotton padding on the bed. Cover the tub and cover the entire tub tightly.

She had no choice. She originally planned to find an unused quilt or cotton wool, but one quilt for each person in the family was just enough. If there were no more, she could only make do with it. Anyway, chicks would be hatched by then. That’s it.

After finishing all this, Su Yu went out of the house, picked up the broom on the side and began to sweep the yard. After sweeping the yard and the house, because the original owner didn't work very often before, Su Yu's forehead was sweating soon, but everyone in the family They are all giving, and she feels embarrassed to let her idle.She can't think of other ways to make money now, and it will take half a year to see the effect of raising chickens, so she can only do more things at home, so that her mother can do less when she comes back.

After tidying up for most of the day, seeing that it was getting late, she began to prepare dinner for the evening again, and Su Sheng came back while she was preparing.

As soon as Su Sheng entered the yard, he found that the house had changed, and it became much cleaner and tidier. In fact, the house had always been kept clean by his mother. It was just that during this period of time he was busy digging the soil, so the house had no time to clean it up. However, Su Sheng Sheng didn't think that his mother took care of the yard today, he heard last night that the land would have to be turned for three to five days, how could his mother come back.That is to say, the little girl tidied up the yard. Su Sheng raised his head and looked at the sky. Could it be that the sun came out from the west? He always felt that the little girl these days was different from before. spoke.

"Brother, you are back."

"Ah."

Su Sheng responded and entered the kitchen room. Last night, his mother told him not to let his little sister cook. He was not happy at the time, but since it was his mother's request, he did it.

As for Lian's inner thoughts, she didn't tell her son at that time, so Su Sheng thought it was her mother's favoritism, and never thought that her mother was dissatisfied with her little sister's excessive oil consumption.

When Su Sheng entered the stove, he saw that Su Yu was already cooking on the stove. When he smelled the smell, Su Sheng's expression changed and he came to the stove in a few steps. He looked into the pot and looked at the bacon hanging on the eaves. Less, his face immediately turned cold.

"Where did you get this meat?"

"Hey, I cut a small piece of the bacon hanging on the beam, just a small piece. Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time."

"Who allowed you to cut that piece of meat?"

Su Sheng's voice was a little loud and cold.

Su Yu worked hard to cook and was not happy to be scolded.It was just a piece of bacon. The bacon weighed two or three kilograms, so she cut off a small slice about the width of two fingers.

"This piece of meat is saved to take to grandma's house during the Chinese New Year, how can you eat it!"

Su Yu was stunned. It seemed that such a thing had happened, but she had forgotten it. Now that Su Sheng mentioned it, she remembered it. During the Chinese New Year, her father cut five kilograms of meat back and they ate a little more than a kilogram at home. The rest was made into bacon, smoked and hung on the eaves. At that time, my father said that this meat would be taken to grandma's house during the Chinese New Year.

"Brother, I forgot."

At this moment, Su Yu lowered her head slightly like a child who has done something wrong, but she still did not forget to turn over the bacon in the pot with one hand. She had sliced ​​it thinly, otherwise it would be mushy.The scolding was scolded, it would not be worthwhile if the meat didn't get in the mouth.

"Eat, eat, eat. You know how to eat all day long. Besides eating, what else do you know! Don't think I don't know that you are following Wang Da and the others all day long, not just for stuttering. Our family's faces are covered in You’ve lost everything!”

Su Yu was stunned again when he was told that. Recalling the past, it seemed that Su Sheng was right. When Su Yu first followed Wang Da and the others, it was because of his stutter.Wang Da has no father or mother, but he only has a grandmother. You can imagine how difficult the life at home is. But since he was a child, he has been used to going up the mountain and down the river, and he can always find something to eat. The children in the village are not as good as him. He is tall and strong.

Su Sheng was really angry. He thought that his sister had learned well before, but he didn't expect that he was wrong. This is not getting better. This is worse than before. In the past, he would not take food from home when he was greedy. Well, it's good now, everyone has the idea of ​​bacon at home.He could now imagine that during the Chinese New Year, his family took this piece of meat to his grandmother's house, and his aunt's sarcastic face made him even angrier. She simply slammed the door and walked out of the kitchen without looking at Su Yu. One glance.

Hearing the sound of the door slamming, Su Yu was worried that the door of the stove was about to fall. Seeing that someone had left, she hurriedly poured the leeks on the chopping board into the pot. If she didn't fry the bacon, it would turn into oil residue.

Stir-fry a few times, and a plate of bacon and leeks comes out of the pot.After washing the pot and boiling hot water, Su Yu sat at the door of the stove, resting her chin in her hands and couldn't help sighing. Even eating some meat is a sin for being so poor.

In fact, Su Lao Er and his wife are both diligent, and Su Sheng works as a waiter in the town, and Su Yu is the only one in the family who is not doing business.But with three people working in the family, it is said that this day will not live to this point.The only thing to blame is that three years ago, when Su’s second family was separated from the Su’s old house, they didn’t say anything, but they got 25 taels of foreign debt, and they also borrowed [-] taels for building the house. It’s been three years now They haven't paid it off, and they have to pay the parents in the old house two taels of alimony every year. With these pressures, the second family of Su can't breathe.

Both Su Lao Er and his wife took a sigh of relief, thinking that these years have been more difficult, and there will be hope for the day when the debt is paid off.But she doesn't think so, the old house's family are all greedy people, and when all the money is paid off, maybe there are other names to get money from their family. Thinking of this, Su Yu gave herself in her heart Just a reminder, she has to be wary of the people in the old house.

After a while, Su Laoer and his wife came back with hoes on their shoulders. Su Yu quickly fetched water for them to wash themselves, and then the family sat in the kitchen house to eat.

Tonight, like yesterday, I ate steamed buns. The dishes were sautéed leeks, fried bacon, and boiled cabbage in a pot of boiling water. At any rate, I made up two dishes.

The couple saw the stir-fried bacon with chives on the table. Neither of them said anything and ate the steamed buns in silence. Neither of them picked up the bowl of stir-fried bacon with chives with chopsticks. Su Yu couldn't stand it, so he picked it up for each of them. A big chopstick.

Second Su put the vegetables into Su Yu's bowl again.

"Girl, dad doesn't like to eat leeks, you can eat them, my daughter has been starved and thin during this time."
