At this time, Bai Dazhu's shout came from the room: "Has the meal been prepared? I'm almost starving to death."
Liu hurriedly went to the kitchen and took a look. There was a cold pot and a cold stove in the kitchen. There was no shadow of the food, so he returned to the main room and said to the old lady Bai: "Mother, you have to take care of your brother-in-law, what's all this? It's time, why don't you cook yet?"
Mrs. Bai said, "She has returned to her family's house with pearls. You can make lunch."
As soon as Liu heard this, he was immediately unhappy: "Why did I do it again? I did it yesterday, so it's supposed to be my younger brother-in-law's turn today. ?"
Granny Bai put the silver in her arms, still smiling: "I left and left. It just happened to save a few rations. You hurry up and cook. Didn't you hear your man call hungry? Xiaofeng should be back soon. Yes, remember to boil an egg for Xiaofeng."
Seeing that the old lady always remembered Xiaofeng, Liu felt better, "Okay, I'm going to cook now, but the eggs are gone. Our old hen hasn't laid eggs for several days."
She opened the door and saw that there was no one in the yard, she said again: "Bai Zhi, the dead girl has not returned, I am afraid there is no food to eat at noon."
Liu looked at the bulging clothes on the old lady’s chest, and suddenly smiled: "Mother, Li Sijia killed a pig yesterday, and it is sent to the town for sale today. There must be a lot left, so let’s go and cut it. Order meat to open the meat?"
If this mouth is usually used, Mrs. Bai would not agree to be beaten to death, but today is different. Today, Liu brought back ten taels of silver, and there are twelve taels of silver waiting for her. She was overwhelmed with joy. , Thinking that the family hadn’t had any fishy meat for a long time, and Zhang’s and Pearl were not there. After cutting two catties of pork belly, their family would be able to eat enough.
Thinking of this, she turned around and entered the room, locked the twelve taels of silver in her arms into the money box, took out a string of copper from the money box and counted it, then took out the door and handed it to Liu: "This is fifty wen. Take it and buy two catties of pork. If there are any leftovers, buy some eggs and go."
Liu's music was broken, and he hurriedly took the fifty cents, swallowed hard in his throat, as if the braised pork had been prepared and placed in front of her.
Bai Erzhu came in from the outside, just to see this scene, and smiled from ear to ear: "Mother, the sun hasn't come out from the west today? Why are you willing to buy us meat?"
Old lady Bai glanced at him, and said in an angry voice: "It sounds like I haven't bought you meat before." She looked at Bai Erzhu up and down, and saw that his clothes were clean and he hadn't seen any sweat or muddy water. , The shoes under my feet are also clean, as if I haven't been out of the house.
Old lady Bai's face immediately sank, very unhappy: "You didn't go to the fields?"
Bai Erzhu took it for granted: "How can I go to the fields by myself? I don't even have a helper."
The old lady Bai was so angry that he wanted to copy the guy to beat him up, but after all, it was her own son, so she was willing to fight him. "What kind of idiot are you talking about? Why can't you go to the fields by yourself? Any help? Zhao Lan didn't. When she was injured, she went to the fields alone, and no one helped her!"
Bai Erzhu raised his neck and said, "Zhao Lan is Zhao Lan, and I am me. Why do you always compare me to Zhao Lan? Besides, you have to blame you for this matter. If you didn't hurt Zhao Lan, this I am afraid that the work in the meeting fields has already been done by her, so do we need to worry about it?"
