¡°Mom, come here!¡± Zuo Xiaomai ran to the high hill and shouted in the direction of the duck house.
Mrs. Luo arranged for the employees to continue working and trotted over in a hurry.
She knew that her daughter-in-law was here to deliver food to her again, and she couldn't stop her.
"Isn't it that I don't want you to come again to deliver food? One foot is deep and one foot is shallow. Now that the ice has melted, how can I fix the fall? Besides, I brought some dry food and pickles before I went out in the morning. I can deal with it in one bite."
Zuo Xiaomai has been feeling uncomfortable in the past few days. She is not used to eating alone.
The mother-in-law not only handed her the money, but also told her to have rice, vegetables and eggs every time.
Even the dried milk that the eldest brother-in-law gave to Luo's mother when he went to the border last time, the mother-in-law also gave it to her.
Only then did she realize that her mother-in-law had never eaten a piece of dried milk. The saved milk made her happy, and now she drinks a bowl of it every day.
What touched Zuo Xiaomai the most was that her mother-in-law would buy meat for her from time to time.
My family lives in a remote place, far away from the meat stalls in town. It is not easy to cut a piece of fresh meat during the lean season.
Mrs. Luo heard that there were pig butchers in other villages, and she even walked several miles just to buy pig bones and meat. Use large bones to make soup for wheat to prevent leg cramps. Knowing that Xiaomai didn't like fatty meat, he bought Houyan to make meat sauce and kept it at home for his daughter-in-law to eat porridge mixed with meat sauce.
Luo's mother kept trying to persuade her: "Even though we are the only ones at home, and the work is so trivial, I will definitely let you eat better than at your parents' house. What's so good about your parents' house? When you wake up early, the yard will be messy. There are a lot of people making noises, and it¡¯s easy to bump into each other. But you are the only one in our family. There are three pregnant women in your natal family, and your two sisters are older than you. How can your natal mother cook something delicious? Yes, why don't you let them go first? There's your grandma up there. But all the good things from our family go into your mouth. You can lie down if you want, and no one will care how long you want to sleep. "
"That's what Mrs. Luo said, but Xiaomai didn't expect that she would actually do this."
All the good ones were given to her, but her mother-in-law spent the morning and noon outside taking a bite.
It¡¯s either whole-grain pastry stuffed with mustard greens and pickles, or big pancakes with green onions dipped in miso. This is a complete meal.
She advised Luo¡¯s mother to bring something good, at least two white-flour buns, but her mother-in-law said plausibly:
"More than twenty men are working in our house, and more than a dozen women are weaving bamboo mats around us. Everyone wants to take a bite.
Ah, if I take out the fragrant meat sauce or the white flour steamed buns, can I let others take a bite and break off a piece? But there are so many people, how can I afford it?
"Don't worry about me, you are the one who feeds two people. If I want to eat something, I can go back at night and we will do it." "
Zuo Xiaomai was left speechless, but he was not a solitary person.
She is very favored by her parents¡¯ family and has never done anything like making her elders unable to eat or drink. She drinks sugar water and eats eggs behind her arrogance.
With no other options left, Zuo Xiaomai could only feed the chickens and ducks every day, soak the beans, and then go to the dam when the weather was sunny at noon. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law handed over the meal baskets like spies.
When Mrs. Luo finished eating, Zuo Xiaomai took the empty basket away.
Today, what Zuo Xiaomai brought was a small bowl of trembling egg custard, two rice bowls in the small bowl next to it, and a small bowl of loach stewed in soy sauce. A small quilt was placed on top of the basket to cover the rice bowl and keep it warm.
"Is it already cold? Mom, let me tell you, setting up a stove in that small room in the duck house is just a matter of helping hands. They are embarrassed to calculate the wages alone. Just set up one, and I will finish it in the morning. For home work, you also come to the duck house to weave mats, and cook in the duck house at noon. You can still eat something hot. Don¡¯t you have to cook here in the future? Is it possible that raising ducks in rice fields has to be done every day? Can you cook at home?"
"No, at least not now. It's not difficult to build a stove. When they finish building it, I can build it myself."
Luo Mu soaked the rice in the egg custard and ate it with big mouthfuls, and said.
She still has the same concept, but she doesn¡¯t want her daughter-in-law, who is pregnant with her grandson, to be embarrassed, and she doesn¡¯t want outsiders who work to eat a grain of rice from her family.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of which the adults of the helpers are too embarrassed to wander about in our house when the fire is on, what about the children of the helpers at home?
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The food is delicious and makes the children of every family cry. Let¡¯s not give it to her. It looks like I¡¯m being stingy and it¡¯s harmful to her son and her good reputation now.
So, why bother with food, food, mouth and tongue? She would rather share the joys and sorrows with those helpers. Every day I go to work carrying a steamed bun.
?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Grandma Luo is the kind of person who cooks delicious food at home, and would block the door with a big quilt to prevent outsiders from smelling it.
At home I wish I could eat meat every day, but when I go outp; Luo's mother hesitated for a while and then asked: "If your pigs start to be bred, will you have to go back to your parents' house?"
Mai is a little embarrassed, she really has to go back to her parents' house to stay for a while.
When she was away, grandma said that the sows were no longer obedient and did not eat or sleep well.
And the reason why she was embarrassed was because it was different from before.
This time she could feel that her mother-in-law had been trying to "sow discord" recently and was unwilling to let her go back to her parents' home. She wanted her to stay at home as a companion.
"My eldest sister is about to give birth, and it will only last ten and a half months."
"Ah, yes, yes, look at my memory, I have to go back." Luo's mother could no longer stop her daughter-in-law from returning to her parents' home, and she even wanted to support it with both hands, "Anyway, you are not needed here to build the duck house. . Later, if it¡¯s your turn to come back to supervise the work, I will go there myself. Your eldest brother-in-law is not at home, and one of your mother-in-law¡¯s family members should accompany you. "
?????????????Isn¡¯t it this time that we get along with each other?
Luo¡¯s mother wished she could help Zuo Xiaodao deliver the baby herself.
¡¡
At the same time, Zuo Xiaodao, who was being talked about, has indeed reached a critical period of unloading.
My family members ask me every day if there is any reaction.
She shook her head and had no reaction.
Every day, blind man Zhang relied on feeling for his pulse, which was not very accurate. He could only find out that the child was quite strong in his belly.
Bai Magnolia asked Xiaodao privately: "When did you two do that thing? If you work backwards, can't you roughly calculate the exact date?"
Xiaodao replied: "At that time, I did that thing every day, who knows which day it was." What I was embarrassed to say was that I had to do it several times in one night, and who knew which day it would be.
During that period, Zhu Xingde was so violent that the kang even collapsed due to him.
"The eldest daughter's words will make Magnolia choke. Okay, let nature take its course."
The whole family was very nervous and did not dare to go far away, for fear that Xiaodao would suddenly shout "Ouch!"
But Zuo Xiaodao was fine.
Every day and night, she was still in the mood to listen to Zhu Xingde talking to himself.
Listen to Zhu Xingde talk about what happened on the road.
Zhu Xingde set off with Yang Manshan on the 20th day of the first lunar month after the new year, and went to the border to deliver the second batch of wine for which the deposit was paid.
This trip I didn¡¯t bring either Erzhuzi or Liuzi. I purposely brought them all over the mountain.
Zhu Xingde wants Manshan to be familiar with the route. If he sends wine in the future, Manshan can take the lead alone.
By the way, while he is still leading the team this time, it is best to negotiate with the General's Mansion for the third batch of wine orders.
For the third batch of orders, Zhu Xingde was more careful than the previous two.
¡°Because the last two times, even if the General¡¯s Mansion didn¡¯t want our wine, we probably wouldn¡¯t have any left. In time for the new year, they are selling very well. Just sell them in pieces, it takes a little effort, a little worry, and a lot of walking, but you can still make a lot of money, and you can pay it off without paying the wholesale price.
But it¡¯s not possible this season.
Everyone bought New Year's goods before the New Year, and those who wanted to buy wine had already done so. Those who were due to get married, hold sacrifices, place large-scale orders in restaurants, and hold various activities all rushed to buy the wine before the New Year. . In short, there will be at least one to two months of off-season after the New Year.
Immediately after the off -season period, the sky was getting hot again, and the wine that was spicy when it was drinking. It is conceivable that who would buy it except wine and monster in the summer. I'm afraid that I still have to rely on fixed orders from those restaurants to maintain the store's expenses, and I probably won't be able to earn much money.
In the north, it¡¯s only October. After late autumn, the weather gets cold, and the autumn harvest is finished. The people have money in their hands after harvesting the grain, and then it¡¯s the peak season for selling wine.
Therefore, Zhu Xingde hopes to negotiate with the General Mansion for a third batch of orders, and use the profits from this order to support his two shops during the off-season for more than half a year.
When Zhu Xingde arrived at the border, he realized that he had thought too much.
To use the exact words he and Xiaodao murmured in their dreams: "It's time to finish it off, there's going to be a fight here. There was no one on the street where I used to go shopping. There was no place for us." My daughter bought some milk to eat."
Where are the cries and excitement from the last time he came to buy something?
This time when he came to the border again, what Zhu Xingde saw most was that many people doing business here were fleeing with their families.
There has been no trading here for a long time.
He almost didn¡¯t get the final payment.
I heard that the stewards of the general's mansion followed the general to the military camp and were not in the mansion.
The general¡¯s wife and many officials¡¯ wives in this city also left long before the New Year. It is unknown whether they were scared away by the impending war or whether they were ordered to return as if they were being treated as hostages by the court.
