In that family, girls were the least valuable, and the only thing they valued was Chu Dashan, who could not hold up the wall with mud.
If Xiaotao could leave that family, she would still have a way to raise a younger sister, but she didn't know if the Lu family would agree.
Lu Xinghe knew Chu Yue's thoughts and analyzed it for her: "According to the temperaments of your parents and your brother, it won't be long before Xiaotao leaves the Chu family. The key is that you can be ruthless."
Chu Yue glanced in his direction, with a look of confusion on her face.
"But what about after leaving the Chu family?"
Lu Xinghe said while pulling the cart hard: "After we leave the Chu family, we will just keep it. After all, it just has an extra mouth. The baby girl doesn't eat much. She can also help her mother to relieve her boredom at home. In the past, the family When Xing Ping Xing An and I were together, my mother was very jealous of my little girl."
Looking at Lu Xinghe who was working hard to pull the cart up the slope, Chu Yue's eyes turned red with emotion. She tried her best to help push the cart to the top of the slope.
"Will my mother really agree?"
Lu Xinghe nodded and said with absolute certainty, "Mother will agree."
Chu Yue bit her lip and made up her mind.
"Then what do I do?"
If it was about medical skills, she could speak one, two, three, four, but in terms of resourcefulness, Lu Xinghe was obviously better at it.
"Next, ignore your parents' side. If they dare to come, I will pretend to drag your father to see the official. In a few days, when the famine becomes serious and the family has no food, your parents will definitely be desperate. Set your mind on your sister, and then we only need to spend some money to get Xiaotao out of that family."
Chu Yue frowned slightly: "Who can we let go out and spend that money?"
The people in Banpo Village would definitely not be able to do it. They would definitely recognize him. They might lose both their lives and money. If it was a stranger, she wouldn't worry. She didn't want Xiaotao to really become a slave.
Lu Xinghe continued to pull up the handle of the trolley.
"Just leave the rest to me."
Lu Xinghe's tall retreating figure gave Chu Yue a sense of security.
…
After returning home, the two unloaded the brown rice and baskets, and asked Lu Xingping to return the cart. They also asked him to put a few red dates in his pocket and give them to Aunt Lin's grandson.
Yun Cuihe watched Chu Yue take out one thing after another from the backpack, and said with some distress: "These things cost a lot of money, right?"
Chu Yue put the things that could be stored into the hanging basket and hung it on the kitchen beam.
"Mom, if we spend money, we can still make it back, so don't worry about it."
Yun Cuihe glanced in the direction of the kitchen: "From now on, we have to lock the kitchen door when we sleep. Be careful if things are taken away by others."
After Chu Yue hung up the things, she patted the dust on her hands and said, "Okay, I'll remember it."
She cut off the two kilograms of pork into small fresh pieces, and cut the rest into fist-sized pieces and marinated it with sauce, salt, ginger and star anise. When the time came, it would be made into soy sauce meat, which could be kept in the cellar for a few more days. When you want to eat, just take it out and cut a few pieces.
After marinating the meat, Chu Yue used red-hot tongs to cut off the pig skin piece by piece and burn off the remaining pig hair. Then she scraped the surface clean with a knife, then added a few pieces of ginger and threw it into the pot to blanch it. .
The blanched pig skin was crystal clear. After Chu Yue scraped off the fat on the pig skin, she cut all the pig skin into small strips and picked out a few small pieces. She used a bamboo sieve to dry the rest. Went to the yard.
"Sister-in-law, can you still eat pig skin after it has been dried?" Lu Xing'an looked on with confusion on his face.
Chu Yue smiled.
"It's edible, but you can't finish it in a while. It can be stored longer if dried in the sun." She turned her head and glanced at Lu Xing'an, "How are the pork bones doing?"
"I'm just having a hard time."
Lu Xingan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, since his sister-in-law came, the food at home has really become much better.
Chu Yue dug out a clay pot from the kitchen. After cleaning it, she took out some of the almost boiled bone soup and poured it into a pot that was 70% full. Then she put in the pig skins she just picked out and the washed Clean wolfberries, red dates and ginger slices were placed next to the fire in the stove and simmered.
"Xing'an, be careful when lighting the fire. Don't knock over the clay pot. It's for mother to cook."
Lu Xingan nodded hurriedly.
"I will pay attention, sister-in-law."
"Just put a few big firewood in the stove. You don't have to stand by the fire. Although it has not been as hot as before in the past two days, the fire is still scalding hot." Chu Yue poured a small bowl of peanuts into the soup pot, while Put the lid on the pot and keep the reminder in mind.
"Hey, I get it."
After the bone soup is ready, start cooking the porridge.
Because Banpo Village was originally located in a mountain valley, the aroma of bone soup that had been brewing for a long time wafted out from the kitchen of Lu Xinghe's house and almost spread to the entire village.
People who don't eat much meat on weekdays are naturally greedy.
Many people came out of the house, swallowing their saliva and saying, "Huh? Whose family is stewing meat? It's really delicious."
Some people with good noses have already followed the scent and found the house. They stood outside the courtyard and said hello to Yun Cuihe, "Sir, are you eating meat today?"
Yun Cuihe smiled hurriedly and said: "When my child went to town to get me medicine today, he was craving for meat, so he bought two big bones and came back to satisfy his craving."
The man immediately changed his face: "He's got big bones and not much flesh, so why spend that unjust money?"
Yun Cuihe sighed, "It's been a long time since I've eaten. Due to the conditions at home, I can't afford meat, so I can only buy big bones to taste the meat."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately lost interest.
Some people rolled their eyes and cursed: "It's really unethical to bring out the greedy people in our village just to have a taste for myself."
After hearing this, Yun Cuihe immediately became unhappy. She put the needle and thread in her hand heavily into the basket.
"I don't like hearing this anymore. Which family usually eats meat without getting some flavor from the stew? Who has said anything about it? Now that my family is stewing bones, am I stealing yours or robbing you? For you to be so mean? Miles?"
The person who cursed knew that he was wrong and saw that he had made others unhappy, so he left in despair.
Lu Xinghe closed the book and walked out of the room.
Yun Cuihe saw it and stood up quickly: "Hey! Did it disturb you to read?"
Lu Xinghe shook his head.
"It's okay, mother, it's getting late now, I'll go out to harvest the grains."
He looked at the sun that was about to set in the sky, took out the basket under the eaves and began to collect the grains. Seeing this, Lu Xingping hurriedly helped behind with a dustpan and broom.
Chu Yue glanced at the movement outside the house and hurriedly said to Lu Xing'an: "Xing'an, you can go and help harvest the millet. I'll be fine in the kitchen. It's time for dinner after harvesting."
"good."
Lu Xingan stuffed another firewood into the stove and went to the yard to help.
