Dahe Village eats two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. There will be no fire at noon.
But at this moment, the smell of meat was faintly floating in the air.
Aunt Wang sat in the yard and sniffed hard. This was the smell of pork, definitely pork.
At this time of year, there are still people in the village who can afford to eat pork!
Aunt Wang walked out of the yard following the scent and saw Zhao Sidan walking from the field ridge, his small body carrying a large basket filled with baby goose vegetables.
"Sidan, why did you dig so many little goose vegetables?"
Zhao Sidan answered honestly: "My mother said the goose dish is delicious."
Aunt Wang's mouth twitched. Cooking the goose vegetables takes a lot of firewood and is extremely painful. Sister-in-law Zhao is lying to a child.
What does this little kid know? He just eats whatever his mother gives him. How pitiful is he.
"Sidan, wait!"
Aunt Wang turned around and went into the house, took out a steamed bun, stretched it out and then retracted it, then broke it in half and put the small half into Zhao Sidan's hand: "Eat quickly to fill your stomach."
Zhao Sidan quickly pushed back: "Auntie, I can't have it..."
"You kid, just take it for you, why are you being so polite?" Aunt Wang scolded angrily, "That mother of yours, you took all the good things to the Cheng family and made the four of you miserable. The ten-year-old child is looking at it. It's like she was six or seven years old... Your mother deserved it. She missed her mother's family so much that she got beaten up by her own eldest brother. It was so funny! Si Dan, when you grow up, move out of your house as soon as possible. Don't follow your example. Brother, your sister-in-law stays at home and works as a scalper, unable to even get a bite to eat. I think she is more vicious than the stepmother..."
Cheng Wanwan was washing her hands in the yard when she heard cursing sounds coming from outside.
Who is it, standing in front of her house in broad daylight and scolding her?
She wiped her hands and walked out, and saw Aunt Wang holding Zhao Sidan standing at the next door talking. Sidan wanted to interrupt several times, but Aunt Wang forced him back: "Okay, eat this half of the cornbread quickly." , don’t let your mother see it, otherwise you won’t get a bite..."
Cheng Wanwan was also convinced. Sharing food was obviously a good deed, but Aunt Wang made her angry.
However, after recalling the bad things that the original person had done, she could understand why Aunt Wang was so angry with the original person. Because the two families were neighbors, there were a few big trees between the two yards, so they were naturally close. There are many conflicts, and the original person loves to take advantage, so Aunt Wang often suffers at the hands of the original person.
Many times, the original person scolded Aunt Wang so much that she went back to self-isolation.
Even so, Aunt Wang secretly stuffed steamed buns for her original son.
As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. It would be a good thing if he and Aunt Wang could turn their hostility into friendship. However, his original personality was acrimonious and his sudden change was really sudden.
"You can keep this for yourself." Cheng Wanwan stepped forward and picked up the basket on Zhao Sidan's back, "Our family has meat to eat today, who wants to eat steamed buns?"
Her words were three parts sarcastic, three parts mocking, and four parts showing off, but she learned a lot about her original temperament.
Aunt Wang smelled the aroma of meat floating in the air and was filled with disbelief: "Your family can still afford meat?!"
"The Cheng family smashed a bloody hole in my head. I snatched back the meat I gave them and ate it for myself. What's wrong?" Cheng Wanwan said confidently, "I'm going to go home and eat meat!"
She didn't mean to show off, but wanted to tell everyone in the village through Aunt Wang's mouth that she had broken up with the Cheng family.
She, Cheng Wanwan, had given up on her parents' family, so her personality changed drastically, so she decided to start living a good life.
"I believe you, you idiot!" Aunt Wang rolled her eyes, "If you have money to buy meat, you might as well save it to buy a few more kilograms of grain. Mrs. Zhao is indeed right. She is really a prodigal woman. She has eaten so much." Without finishing the meal, several children suffered..."
As she spoke, she swallowed hard, and the smell of meat next door made her salivate. After the autumn harvest, she must take a few kilograms of grain to the town to exchange for half a kilogram of pork, and let the children at home have a taste. Meaty smell...
Zhao Sidan quickly rushed into the yard and saw the bubbling braised pork in the pot at a glance. His saliva flowed down uncontrollably.
Cheng Wanwan warned in a low voice: "Sidan, if you have any delicious food at home from now on, you are not allowed to tell anyone outside, do you understand?"
Zhao Sidan nodded desperately: "If you don't tell me, don't tell anyone!"
If the news reaches the ears of my uncle, he will definitely come and snatch away all the meat in the house.
Cheng Wanwan picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks, blew on it, and stuffed it into his mouth: "How's it going? Is it delicious?"
Zhao Sidan swallowed it in one breath and didn't taste anything at all. He licked his lips: "Mom, I still want to eat..."
"You little greedy cat." Cheng Wanwan laughed, "Go and call your second brother and third brother back for dinner."
Zhao Sidan turned around and ran out.
Cheng Wanwan asked Wu Huiniang to scoop up the braised pork and simmer the white rice.
She called Zhao Dashan in: "I remember that you seem to know a little bit about masonry work. Can you build a small stove here?"
Put two pots on one stove, use the broken pot for simmering rice and the new pot for cooking, which can save a lot of effort and some firewood.
Zhao Dashan worked as a masonry apprentice in the town last year, and he was really good at it. He immediately went to pick up a few stones from the river beach at the door, then went to the backyard to dig yellow soil, added water and mixed it into mud, and started to build the base according to Cheng Wanwan's instructions. Earth stove...
The rice in the pot is simmering, and the aroma of meat and rice is floating in the room.
At this moment, Zhao Sidan ran back in a panic: "Mom, it's bad, the second brother and the third brother got into a quarrel with someone..."
Cheng Wanwan suddenly felt tired.
How can these two boys get into trouble so much?
Before she said anything, Zhao Dashan threw away the stone in his hand: "Let's go and see who dares to bully my brother!"
"Stop!" Cheng Wanwan stopped him, "Stay at home and set up the stove. I'll come back to check."
She walked out quickly.
When naughty children fight, it is natural for the parents to step in to resolve it. Letting the eldest child pass will only aggravate the conflict.
Zhao Sidan led the way and explained the situation.
The person who was quarreling with the two boys was Zhang Dagang, Zhang Dagang's biological father. Both father and son are representative figures of idleness in the village.
He could tell with just his toes that Rascal Zhang was deliberately causing trouble for her two sons because of the rabbit he failed to get yesterday.
Therefore, Ergou and Sanniu suffered an unreasonable disaster.
Cheng Wanwan walked to the end of the village. There was a well here. It was the only well in the village that was still producing water. People lined up to fetch water all day long.
At this moment, there was a fight between Zhang Lailai and two boys from the Zhao family, and half the village was here to watch the fun.
"Zhang Lailai, you have lived your life in vain, why can't you get along with two and a half-year-old boys?"
Zhang Rascal spat: "I am protecting the interests of the whole village. These two boys carried more than a dozen buckets of water back in the middle of the night yesterday, and they came to line up again today to fetch water. Do you think the water in the village was brought by the strong wind? Their family uses a lot of water, while others use less water, so why should their family get all the benefits?”
