The sun was shining brightly, and smoke was burning from the Ming family's stove.
The water has been heated, but the rice has not yet been put into the pot. Tian Zhenzhen looked at the rice vat at home, feeling very confused at the moment.
Her sister-in-law has already told her that she will bring some pheasants back to improve the food when she goes to the mountains today.
Nowadays, my sister-in-law is blatantly doing so when she comes to eat at home. Of course, Tian Zhenzhen is also willing from the bottom of her heart. After all, she has meat to eat with her sister-in-law. But since she wants to eat meat, the staple food must not be shabby, and then she makes beans mixed with multigrain beans. The food was a bit inappropriate.
People treat you to meat, but you let them eat rice with coarse grains and beans?
This is inappropriate, so inappropriate!
Tian Zhenzhen took a deep breath, took a big scoop of white rice from the rice vat!
——Eat, eat, eat hard! At worst, we will tighten our belts in the second half of the year!
Tian Zhenzhen was busy washing and cooking rice in the yard.
She and Ming Song were also poor. They only had two huts in their house, with yellow mud walls and black tile roofs. The outside was also built with a yellow mud yard wall. One half of the yard was piled with firewood for a stove, and the other half was a vegetable patch.
When Tian Zhenzhen was cooking, Ye'er helped, passing a bowl and adding firewood.
Manjing and Xiaoxue were not idle either. They squatted in the vegetable field to catch bugs. After a while, they caught more than a dozen small caterpillars, which were fleshy and twisted in the hands of the two children.
Although Tian Zhenzhen came from a farm family, she really couldn't get used to bugs. No matter how many times she saw them, her scalp would go numb.
She asked her two children to send the bugs to Cao Guihua's house.
Aunt Cao's chickens are the best in the village, and Cao Guihua also has the true inheritance from her mother. She raises a lot of chickens at home, and these insects can be used to fill the chickens' bellies to achieve greater value.
Unexpectedly, the two children came back with three eggs in the blink of an eye, saying that they were given by Aunt Guihua.
Tian Zhenzhen couldn't help but feel hot when she saw the eggs, and felt very embarrassed. How much are the bugs worth? The sweet-scented osmanthus girl actually sent three eggs, which was so sincere.
After another thought, I guess they wanted to repay Mingxi's favor of sending wild boar meat, so I accepted it with peace of mind and prepared to make boiled eggs for the three girls to eat later.
She was busy at home, the rice was almost ready, and the dishes were ready. Everything was ready except for the east wind. She walked outside the yard and looked out, and found that the people who were supposed to come back did not come back, but her two sons did come back!
Ming Dazhuang and Ming Erzhuang were like gluttons. As soon as they came back, they stretched their necks to smell and asked Tian Zhenzhen: "Mom, what should we eat today?"
They knew their aunt would bring meat back and couldn't wait!
Tian Zhenzhen knocked them both on the forehead angrily, "Eat, eat, eat! You just know how to eat! You came back so quickly. Have you finished the work in the fields?"
"It's done, it's done!" the two young men said in unison.
Da Zhuang said: "Mom, let me help you chop wood!"
Erzhuang said: "Mom, let me help you carry water!"
Knowing her son as her mother, could Tian Zhenzhen still know their thoughts? It’s nothing more than wanting to perform well so that I can eat a few more pieces of meat later.
"Okay, let's all rest!" Tian Zhenzhen was very speechless, "The water tank is full, and there is no need to chop the firewood. You two are greedy. Ye'er and the others are not as greedy as you when they are young."
The two young men laughed.
At this time, Manjing suddenly jumped up happily and shouted: "Mom and uncle are back!"
Tian Zhenzhen immediately looked into the distance, and sure enough she saw Ming Xi and Ming Song walking towards here one after another, and they were holding chickens in their hands!
Carrying them in both hands, four in total!
Tian Zhenzhen couldn't help but swallow her saliva, thinking that her sister-in-law was really getting more and more powerful! Although she couldn't figure out what method the gods taught her to make money, but with this unique skill of hunting, she would definitely not have to worry about food and clothing in the future!
The two brats and three little girls at home were even more excited than she was. They had already rushed out of the yard and ran towards Ming Xi and Ming Song!
"Auntie is so awesome, she caught four bamboo partridges!"
"Mom! They are so beautiful!"
"Auntie, what are you going to eat later? I had partridge soup once when I was a kid!"
"My mother said to bake it! It tastes better when it's grilled!"
The children were all talking and discussing the four pheasants in a lively manner!
When Tian Zhenzhen got closer, she noticed something strange. Why did Mingxi, who was walking in front, look relaxed and happy, while Mingsong, who was walking behind, had a gloomy look?
"What's wrong?" Tian Zhenzhen asked worriedly, "Did things not go smoothly?"
"It went well!" Ming Xi replied happily, "It went so well. There happened to be a large piece of wasteland behind Aizi Slope, and one acre of land was only sold for one or two silver cents! It was extremely cheap! I took that piece of wasteland and the chairs behind it. Mountain, I bought it all!”
"Wha, what?!" Tian Zhenzhen thought she heard wrongly, and looked at Ming Xi with wide eyes, and then looked at Ming Song, "You mean... the Yi'er Mountain behind Aizi Slope?"
"Yes, yes!" Ming Xi frowned with joy, "Sister-in-law, you also know that mountain! That mountain is really beautiful! The location is perfect! If we build a house in such a geomantic place, our family will definitely prosper in the future! "
Tian Zhenzhen was dumbfounded, thinking: I didn't see the Feng Shui treasure, I only saw that you have so much money that it burns you. "
"The mountain is strangely shaped, full of weeds and rocks, and there isn't even a road up the mountain. If you want to build a house on the mountain, you don't know how to transport the wood and bricks up there, and you have to build the road first..." Tian Zhenzhen The more I talked about it, the more I felt that my sister-in-law was off the mark, "Building roads is also a big expense!"
No wonder her husband's face looked so bad. He was probably frightened by his sister-in-law!
Mingxi still looked like an optimist and smiled and said to his brother and sister-in-law: "Don't worry, building roads is not as difficult as you think. I will find a way to solve it. Now let's kill the chicken first. Do you have any wine? We have to celebrate today!"
Mingsong and Tian Zhenzhen looked at each other and could see each other's heavy moods.
Building a house on the mountain is too whimsical, but how should they persuade Mingxi?
Her sister-in-law has changed so much. In the past, she thought her sister-in-law had no opinion and would only cry. But now, she is so opinionated! I can’t persuade you at all!
The couple just opened their mouths, but before a word came out, their two sons rebelled first!
Da Zhuang stopped Tian Zhenzhen and said, "Mom, don't worry about my aunt. Since my aunt has made such a decision, it means that she has already thought about it in her heart! She also knows what to do!"
Er Zhuang also echoed: "Yes, yes! My aunt is a person who has been enlightened by gods. It's normal for mortals not to understand. Dad, you'd better kill the chicken quickly. We are all waiting to eat it!"
The couple was speechless to the extreme.
Even the gods have moved out, so why are you trying to persuade me? Let’s light a fire and eat!
