farmer's wife

Chapter 44
On April 25, the men of the village head's family went out to work in the fields as usual.

The women were busy early in the morning.

The mother-in-law has her birthday today, although it is not a big deal, but she opened the box with the key that was close to her in the morning, took the money and told the eldest daughter-in-law Cui to go out to buy meat and fish.

The Sun family is considered well-off in the village. The three males in the family are in their prime, and they tend to the nearly [-] mu of land. Most of the traffic.

Aunt Zhang also raised seven or eight chickens at home, and from time to time she saved up some eggs and sold them once in a while, so she could earn some money to subsidize the family.

When the daughters-in-law get married, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and their young lives are among the best in the village.

But the in-laws in charge of the family saw that the younger uncle was promising after studying, and insisted on sending the two boys from the second bedroom of the eldest room to study in a private school in the city, which was a lot of money.

Therefore, the family also saves food and expenses, and will not have meat every meal.No matter how short their knowledge is, they still know that it is their son's good luck to be able to study. You must know that there are few families in the village that can send their children to study.For the sake of his son, he is willing to work hard.

Wearing an apron, Aunt Zhang wandered around the chicken coop in the backyard and carefully selected an old rooster.

While feeding the chicken, he grabbed the chicken's wings and carried them to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the two daughters-in-law were very busy.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Cui Taoer, was married to the Cui family in the village. She has a straightforward temperament and can speak well, but she is a little narrow-minded and refuses to suffer a little.The second daughter-in-law, Wang Shu, is from the Wang family in the village next door. She is gentle and introverted.

Seeing that the firewood in the stove was booming, Cui Taoer stopped, turned her head to look at her siblings who were busy in front of the stove: "Siblings, when do you think our big cow and the second monkey will be home?"

The children go to private schools in the city on weekdays, and their two daughters-in-law take turns to pick them up.Today's mother said that my brother-in-law would come back early and asked him to pick up the child and bring it back with him.

Wang Shu was frying the vegetables in the pot, and looked up at the door: "It's almost you (5 o'clock in the afternoon), and the children are about to leave school, and they should be home in a while."

Cui Taoer: "I heard that my brother-in-law is going to marry the only daughter of the accountant in the city, so he will stay in the city from now on? Is this a wife or a son-in-law?"

The spatula in Wang Shu's hand kept on, and she didn't make a sound.

The uncle's affairs are decided by his parents, and there is no such thing as her second sister-in-law talking about it.

Seeing her stuffy look, Cui Tao'er curled her lips.The mother is not here again, so I casually discuss what's wrong.

She rolled her eyes, and thought of someone again: "Mother said, our family invited Xiao Lie's family tonight. You have been to his house, how about the new daughter-in-law? I haven't spoken to her yet."

Wang Shu: "It's pretty good. She's pretty and lovable and can talk. Mother is always smiling."

"I heard that she can embroider, have you seen it?"

Wang Shu nodded.

"It's a pity that Cousin Cui and her daughter were brought back by Fu Yanjue. It looks like she won't teach people easily." Cui Tao'er tilted her head, thinking of the scene in the village that Cui Xinghua was kicked out of Xiao's house, she smiled cheerfully Come out: "Her family is really thick-skinned. They have been separated for a long time. It's a pity that my family Yuanyuan is still young, only three years old. I don't know if I can ask her to learn two things in the future."

One meter is three thousand miles away, Cui is the common surname in the village, and everyone can always get some relatives through the twists and turns.

Before they could continue chatting, Aunt Zhang hurried over with the chicken.

"How are you getting ready?"

Cui Tao'er hurriedly patted the ashes on her body, came out, and looked at the struggling chicken in Aunt Zhang's hand with bright eyes: "Mother, it's almost the same, and there are two dishes for younger brothers and sisters to stir fry. Are you going to kill the chicken today?"

You know, these chickens are all Aunt Zhang's treasures.

Aunt Zhang handed the chicken in her hand to the eldest daughter-in-law who came over: "Here, go and kill this chicken, and put mushrooms on it to make chicken soup later. I'll make it up for everyone."

"Hey! Mom, give it to me, I'll do it!" I think this chicken is for your youngest son, but if everyone eats it at the same table, they can eat it today.Cui Tao'er happily went to the side to kill chickens and pluck their feathers.

Here, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, preparing for the evening banquet.At the gate of the courtyard, the youngest son of the Sun family led his two nephews and Xiao Lie's family into the courtyard.

"Big cow! Two monkeys!"

Seeing her familiar playmates coming home from get out of class, Xiao Jian rushed over excitedly.

The second monkey caught him: "Ah Jian, you are here! Let's go, let's go play together!"

Hearing the movement in the yard, Aunt Zhang came over: "Alie and Ayan are here, come here, little three, this is your sister-in-law." Aunt Zhang pointed to people and introduced each other, "Ayan, this is my little sister-in-law." son."

After calling for a gift, Aunt Zhang sent the three boys to play with Yuanyuan, the little girl of Grand Master Sun.

Letting everyone into the main hall to sit down, Fu Yan handed the basket in her hand to Aunt Zhang, and said playfully, "Happy birthday, Aunt Zhang! The three of us come to eat and drink, so don't be disgusted."

Aunt Zhang liked Fu Yan's generosity and friendliness, and took the basket she handed over with a smile: "You guys couldn't be more happy to come to Aunt Zhang! Why are you still bringing things? You are not an outsider!"

Fu Yan: "The pheasants hunted in the mountains and some cakes bought in the city are worthless, so you can take them."

The two pheasants were not small, very fat, they were deliberately left behind by Xiao Lie, and they were still alive.

"Oh, don't stand, sit and sit. Taoer! Pour two cups of tea." Aunt Zhang greeted the guests with a smile.

"Mom! I'm thirsty too." Seeing his mother talking around Brother Xiao Lie and Fu Yan's sister-in-law, Sun Shisheng, the third son of the Sun family, couldn't help but speak.

There is a big living person here!
"Don't you have any hands? Do you still need someone to serve you in your own home?"

Aunt Zhang saw her youngest son's face was ruddy and energetic, and he seemed to be getting fatter, so she didn't bother to talk to him.She also has to quickly put the two pheasants in the backyard to raise them, and save them to eat slowly.

Cui Tao'er poured tea for the three of them, and went back to the kitchen to get busy.

Sun Shisheng sat beside his brother Xiao Lie, and talked about some things in the restaurant.

Xiao Lie drank his tea, listened to his ramblings in silence, and then said, "In a restaurant, watch more and talk less. Shopkeeper He is shrewd, he won't intervene in trivial matters, but he must be watching, you Don't pick your head. Ask your master, Mr. Qi, if you have anything to ask."

"Yeah, brother, I know."

Fu Yan sat and listened to them for a while, and saw that the two were very engaged in chatting and bored just sitting, so she wanted to help in the kitchen.

When they stopped talking, Fu Yan touched Xiao Lie: "Brother Alie, let me go to the kitchen."

Xiao Lie looked up, saw what she said, nodded and gave her directions: "The kitchen is in the front room on the right, you go."
