Want to kill a chicken?
Dalang didn't believe it.
The three chickens at home were fed from last year to this year. They were still laying eggs last year, but they stopped laying after the Chinese New Year.
Grandma has been saying that she will sell it this fall to get some food, and no one in the family dares to eat chicken.
The other three children didn't believe it either, but they didn't dare to question the third aunt openly. They looked at each other and remained silent.
Dalang pushed the bowl towards the middle of the table, wiped his mouth and ran outside.
The remaining children looked at it and ran outside with their eldest brother.
"Niu'er, you put away the bowl today!"
The poor cow stopped pitifully and came back to huddle with Dan'er at the table.
Rainy days are not good at all. We usually eat in the yard, and then we can go play next to it. After everyone has finished eating, we just collect the bowls.
Unlike today, they just left themselves alone in this room with their third aunt. How scary!
Dan'er is stupid and doesn't count.
Several children who came out of the main room, led by Dalang, ran into Lu Duotian's room one after another.
Mrs. Zhang was startled: "What's wrong with you? Third aunt scolded you again?"
Li Baozhu also said that Su Ruyi was sharing the oil residue with them, so we really shouldn’t expect too much...
"no!"
Dalang quickly shook his head, and his younger brothers and sisters also shook their heads.
"Third Aunt asked us to catch chickens!"
The three children raised their heads and looked at Mrs. Zhang enthusiastically. They wanted to catch chickens - as long as grandma nodded!
Zhang: "..."
In fact, as soon as she opened her eyes this morning, she was debating whether to kill the chicken or not.
I came over to check on my son now, and I don’t think it’s particularly important...
It’s not that she doesn’t feel sorry for her son. How long can a chicken be eaten after being stewed?
Why don't you sell it in exchange for food? You can eat for a few more days. Let your eldest son eat more. If someone puts oil on one chopstick, give him two more chopsticks...
Liu Cuier asked strangely: "Catching chickens? What are you doing?"
Her mood is more complicated now. She didn't react as much as her mother-in-law when she saw the children coming in in a hurry just now, because——
She can't be hard on Su Ruyi now. Her man was rescued by Su Ruyi, and the lard residue was also bought by Su Ruyi.
Eat people with soft mouths.
Just as Da Lang was about to speak, Xing'er raised her hands and shouted, "I'm here to patch up my uncle!"
Liu Cuier's face turned red, she lowered her head and remained silent.
My man should make up for it, but with this situation at home... I feel guilty.
Let your mother-in-law decide.
Lu Duotian, who was half lying on the bed, felt excited and shouted hurriedly: "No Zai! No Zai! It's useless for my body to eat. It will be fine even if I don't eat!"
The three younger siblings came over and said they had found a job for him, and he finally didn't want to die.
But we can’t waste the food at home!
When a chicken is sold in the town, the price starts at fifty or sixty cents, which is enough for the family to survive for three days.
Zhang: "..."
To kill or not to kill?
Although it can be exchanged for more grains, meat is meat and it is very replenishing. Is it possible for my son to eat whole grains with his body like this?
Lu Duotian tugged at the corner of Zhang's clothes: "Mom, sell the chicken to buy food!"
Zhang: "Then..."
Just buy food!
Su Ruyi appeared at the door of the house holding Dan'er in her arms: "Mom, are you all here? I asked Dalang to catch a chicken!"
Facing Su Ruyi, Lu Duotian was speechless and pointed at Zhang to convey his meaning.
Zhang said: "Tada said not to eat, but to sell it in exchange for some grain and eat it longer."
She was relieved that her son could speak these words.
"How can that be done? If you don't eat some meat, it won't be better. Let's talk about buying food. Dalang, are you going to catch him? If you don't go, I will catch him?"
Dalang had given up all hope of slaughtering the chicken today, and looked at his third aunt wilted.
Su Ruyi said: "Okay, I'll catch it. Let's catch a fatter one. They won't lay eggs anyway."
Mrs. Zhang was anxious. If Su Ruyi said she wanted to catch chickens, she would definitely go there, but why would she catch fat ones?
"Don't go!"
Zhang shouted.
When she shouted, everyone's eyes were glued to her.
Zhang's mind turned around hard. Su Ruyi wouldn't listen to anything she said. She didn't want to fight Su Ruyi today. It seemed like the chicken had to be killed.
Then he resigned to his fate and said to Dalang: "Dalang, go and catch the lightest ones. I have raised them for more than a year and I don't expect them to gain weight again. Keep the fat ones first."
The three children rushed out cheering, regardless of the fact that it was still raining outside.
Mrs. Zhang was speechless with a straight face.
Li Baozhu mixed his hands together, thought of something, and said quickly: "I went to the kitchen to wash the dishes!"
Run away quickly.
This bag is so cowardly!
Zhang was dissatisfied and rolled her eyes quietly.
Lu Duotian's face turned red. He was such a waste. He didn't even know how to seek death. He even broke a sternum.
Why should a loser like him drink chicken soup and eat chicken? !
He had always been timid of this third younger brother and sister, but at this moment he couldn't help but said: "Brother and sister, don't kill the chicken, just sell it in the town tomorrow, I'm just such a waste..."
When he said this, Liu Cuier, who was usually very articulate, couldn't say a word.
Su Ruyi interrupted and said: "What are you talking about? Brother, my family still expects you to make a lot of money. If you weave dozens of baskets, wouldn't that be hundreds of pennies?"
Liu Cuier raised her head, her face still flushed.
"Su Ruyi, is what you said true? You didn't lie to my Tada, did you?"
Speaking of this, Lu Duotian looked over nervously with a pair of tired eyes on his thin face.
Su Ruyi hugged Dan'er and rocked it from side to side. Thanks to the piece of oil residue, Dan'er let her hug her.
"Why are you lying to me? There's no benefit! Brother, please get well and get ready to start work!"
Lu Duotian's nervousness swept away, and his deep-set eyes shone with eagerness.
The dead heart seemed to be beating again, and there was some hope in life.
But there are concerns.
"I...I can't!"
Although I have learned a little bit before...but I haven't mastered it yet.
Liu Cuier tugged on her clothes. She didn't get angry, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
If Su Ruyi hadn't interfered before, his man would have become a master long ago, right?
How can I become a waste while lying on the bed...
But it's useless to think about that now, besides, Su Ruyi has helped them now.
Su Ruyi said: "I used to blame me for being ignorant. Please don't blame me, brother. Brother, as long as you are willing to do this, I will find someone to teach you."
Not only Lu Duotian and his wife were stunned, but Mrs. Zhang was also stunned.
Su Ruyi's apology seemed to hit the soft spot in their hearts.
It was sour, and then the previous resentment seemed to turn into water and flow away quietly.
Liu Cuier sniffed, okay, she has already apologized, and there is nothing to blame.
"That won't work either. Once Tada learns how to make it up, when will that happen? Can people wait?"
"You can wait, I'm not in a hurry."
Su Ruyi vowed to do so.
"However, people also have requirements. They don't want all kinds of baskets. They have their own styles, and there are no ones sold outside."
Lu Duotian said: "I'll do it! Whatever people want, I'll do it!"
