But no matter how delicious bacon or bacon is, you will get tired of it after eating it for more than half a year, which is not as tempting as fresh pork!
No, even though we didn't have time to make braised pork in the evening, because of this topic, the family had one more bowl of rice than usual.
Under the influence of her daughter's innuendo, Xu's mother...
Of course, it's more because the eldest daughter-in-law can make trousers and clothes in her spare time and earn enough money for the family to catch up with the salary sent by her eldest son every month. She is not as harsh as before.
Although she still didn't look good, she was still full with three meals a day of rice porridge and steamed buns.
My daughter is right: you can do more work only when you are full! If you have a mule, you still have to feed it.
No, Xu’s mother was so surprised that she couldn’t help but smile from ear to ear:
"so much?"
"That's right! The style I want and the workmanship of my sister-in-law, not only the whole world, but also our little Mingyang County will definitely be invincible!"
"Hey, who doesn't know how to do needlework? It must be my daughter's fault!"
Xu's mother didn't want to praise her daughter-in-law.
Sister-in-law Xu had no objection.
She feels that her current life is like heaven compared with before -
There is no need to go to the village to pick up dung, there is no need to get up early and in the dark to chop wood, and you only have to wash your own clothes and sheets.
Living less is not the most important thing, the most important thing is——
She can eat enough!
Ever since her sister-in-law left her a bowl of thick porridge, she has never been hungry again.
There were times when I felt like I was full and my stomach was bloated.
Not only can I have enough to eat, but since I have earned money for the family, my mother-in-law scolds me less.
Days like this gave her hope.
Full of joy, her sister-in-law thrust a big solidarity piece into her hand.
"Sister-in-law, this is your commission."
"Why does she still have a share?" Xu's mother's face sank, "She is your sister-in-law, shouldn't she help you with some work? What does it look like to take money! Take it back quickly!"
"Mom, I'm just talking. My sister-in-law does most of the work. She works much harder than me. Of course, my parents also work hard, so let's share the money we earn! Here, dad, this is yours! Take it Buy cigarettes instead of local cigarettes, and buy a pack of filters to change the taste. This is my mother’s job. Mother is the hardest among us. She not only has to take care of the house and take care of the family’s daily life, but also takes care of the housework so that we can I don’t have to worry about anything when I’m working or studying, so I deserve more.”
Xu Yin kept five yuan for herself and gave the rest to Xu's mother.
Xu's mother was so coaxed that she beamed: "Give it all to mother? How about you keep it yourself?"
"As long as I have enough, why do you need so much money? Besides, we haven't separated our families, so it's up to my mother to take care of it."
Xu's mother felt extremely relieved after hearing this.
What does it mean to give such a large amount of money to her when her daughter says it will be given to her? My daughter is filial!
Xu Yin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother no longer had to worry about the ten yuan she gave to her sister-in-law.
Originally, she wanted to give it secretly in private, but she was afraid that if she leaked it one day, it would be better to make it clear from the beginning instead of having a huge quarrel at that time.
Anyway, the big head was given to Xu's mother, and as the sister-in-law was the main laborer, it didn't matter if she got the small head.
Lowering her head and seeing her nephew sitting obediently on the small bench, listening to the adults talking and playing with paper frogs, Xu Yin arched her eyebrows and smiled:
"Oh, I forgot about our Doudou. I heard that Doudou has been very well-behaved during this period. He helped me collect firewood, helped my grandma clean the yard, and even washed the dishes after dinner. How could such a well-behaved child not be so good? Here’s the reward! Come on, give us Doudou two cents!”
"I-I have it too?"
Doudou was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, and pointed at himself with his little claws.
"Of course! As long as they contribute to our family, it doesn't matter adults or children, everyone has it!"
Little Douding was so happy that he couldn't find the north.
It was completely dark. In order to save electricity and kerosene, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep after washing up.
In the east room, Xu’s mother held the thick envelope and rummaged through the cabinets, wondering where to hide it.
In the past, she would take a roll of rubber band, put it in an iron box, and stuff it into the hole in the wall next to the bed.
But today my daughter gave me too much money, and after rolling it up, I couldn’t fit it into the iron box. I just hid it in a hole in the wall and I was worried about being bitten by mice, so I wanted to find a suitable iron box.
While looking for it, I chatted with my wife: "Old man, look at how sensible my daughter is! Give me this much money as soon as you ask for it. By the way, I also gave you ten yuan. Where is it hidden? Bring it!"
Father Xu: "...That's because my daughter respects me."
"I have to leave it to me to take care of you. Do you really want to buy those filtered cigarettes?"
Father Xu blushed: "It's not a big deal to try something new."
"Don't try to spend your daughter's money! You can earn it yourself!"
"I gave you everything I earned in the past. When did you buy me cigarettes? My daughter is still kind to me!"
"You old man, you don't want to sleep on the bed, do you?"
Father Xu quickly begged for mercy.
Xu's mother laughed and scolded him for being old and dishonest.
In the east wing, Sister-in-law Xu carefully put the ten yuan she had received into a yellowed cowhide book that looked like a treasure.
It was a prize won by her maternal uncle who was recognized as an advanced worker in her early years. It was given to her when she got married, saying that she could hold cloth stamps, food stamps, etc. when she became a householder.
It's a pity that there have been no tickets available, but now there is finally a place to use them.
After closing it, I opened it and looked at it a few times, feeling very happy.
This was the first money she had ever made on her own.
My sister-in-law said, there will be more in the future, even more than today, as long as you work hard!
Of course she will do it well!
This is because my sister-in-law is deliberately provoking her!
"Mom, mom, and mine!"
Xiao Douding stood on tiptoe and wanted to give her the two cents in his hand.
Sister-in-law Xu laughed: "Mom will keep your money for you alone. When you need to spend it, ask mom for it."
"I don't want to spend it. I want to save it. After I save enough, I can buy the most delicious snacks and candies for my aunt. She gave me candies again today!"
"Only for my aunt? Doesn't mom have any?"
"Yes! Yes! My sister-in-law said, everyone has it!"
"Hahaha, Doudou is so good!"
I could vaguely hear the laughter and laughter coming from the east room and east wing.
Xu Yin looked at the yellowed top of the mosquito net, closed her eyes and fell asleep with a smile.
Early the next morning, Xu's mother got up and started cooking the meat.
After the busy farming season, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The smell didn't change until I hung it in the well last night, but it didn't last long.
Five pounds of fat and thin pork belly is far less cost-effective than five pounds of fat meat in Xu’s mother’s opinion.
If she had to spend money to buy it, she would never buy Wuhua.
But the meaning of the prize my daughter won is different.
Xu's mother raised her knife and cut the meat into three strips——
A strip of bacon is rubbed with salt and prepared for curing, adding a meat dish to the double feast in July;
I cook braised pork for lunch to satisfy my daughter’s craving;
The remaining piece weighed about a kilogram and a half, and was tied with a straw rope and handed to the daughter to be sent to her grandmother's house in Da'ao Village.
