Chapter Thirteen Chicken Ass
Lian Man'er knew that she had talked about Zhang's pain. But if Ya Yanqing didn't feel pain, Zhang would not be awake.
Zhang sat in a daze for a while, and finally wiped away his tears.
"Your uncle seems to be able to do nothing, and the whole family is waiting for dinner. Mom still has to go and help." Zhang and Lian Man'er discussed, "Your father and we also have to eat. Mom remembers your words, Mom will be able to be a proper person this time."
Lian Man'er was a little helpless. Zhang was really virtuous and took the overall situation into consideration. To be honest, if she wanted to get along with others, she also hoped that the other party would be someone like Zhang.
It is not possible to change Zhang in a day or a night. Now Zhang is willing to listen to her opinions, which is a good change. Just as Zhang said, doing more work will not make people tired. Thinking of this, Lian Man'er no longer stops Zhang.
"Then I will go with my mother, and I can help with the work." Lian Man'er said. Gu is so smart and Zhang is a straightforward person, and she is afraid that Zhang will suffer a loss.
Zhang wanted to help cook, so Zhao came over to help.
Gu was burning fire under the stove, making a room full of smoke, but the fire was not lit, and was bent over there to cough. She thought Zhang had a grudge against her because of Lian Man'er's affairs and refused to come to help. It was just an excuse just now. She was angry and hated and gritted her teeth. When she saw Zhang and Zhao coming to help, she immediately smiled.
When Zhao entered the door, he took over the work Gu's hand.
"...The firewood is a little tide... I don't know where the things are placed, brother and sister..." Gu smiled at Zhang.
Zhang glanced at Lian Man'er, and Lian Man'er nodded slightly to Zhang.
"Sister-in-law, Wulang just slapped the firewood yesterday and was not fashionable at all. It was because my sister-in-law didn't do these tasks all year round and she was born." Zhang said to Gu.
"Yes, you are right in the fourth brother and sister-in-law. I was born with my hands. Goro is a good child." Gu said hurriedly.
Zhang looked at Lian Man'er again, and Lian Man'er nodded encouragement to her. That's it. For some people, you can't always be good people. Only by being tough can you gain respect.
Zhang's heart moved slightly. If she had been in normal times, she would have followed Gu's words, at least she would not refute Gu's. Although Gu's words were wrong, she changed slightly today, that is, Gu's words followed her and expressed affirmation of Goro's labor.
What Man'er said was indeed correct. Zhang thought that it was really inappropriate for her to be so obedient in the past.
"Sister-in-law, it means that my mother wants her to take turns to make family meals. She must have made it better than us. She is a little bit of a hand-made one for the first time. She is smart, and she can learn while watching and can get started soon." Zhang said, pointing everything in the room to Gu, and even teaching Gu, step by step. These were all taught by Lian Man'er, saying that she could not "stop the main person."
Gu smiled on his face, but felt bitter. She knew that Zhang was the most soft-hearted and easy to talk, so she planned to coax Zhang with good words and let Zhang do all her work for her. Now it seems that Zhang had no plans at all.
Gu has been spoiled for a long time, and even Zhang is instructed by others, he will be stumbling when doing work. Zhang is a person who is used to being diligent and neat, so she can't stand it. In the end, she did most of the work, although Gu also had a look of dusty smoke on his face.
"The aunt learned so quickly, and she can cook by herself next time." Lian Man'er said deliberately.
Gu's mouth twitched. Next time, she would not allow the next time. She would go back to town with Lian Shouren in a while.
The meal here was just ready, and even the old man and Lian Shouren and his brothers came back from outside. The brothers put the silver they had received on the kang, sealing the silver for a total of ten seals, and half of the kang was white. Even the old man, Shouxin and Shouli locked up their eyebrows, and only Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi were inexplicably excited. It turned out that Lian Shouren had borrowed six hundred taels of silver from Lao Jin, and the one who had received was five hundred and forty taels.
"There is also a matter of flowers. The family also needs to use money. Borrow more and be more generous." Lian Shouren said.
My son has borrowed the money, and it is hard for the old man to say anything else.
"Eat first," said Mr. Lian, "After the meal, you go to the town. You have to pay back the money you owe early."
Putting dishes and chopsticks here, Gu used the excuse to ask Lian Shouren to wash his hands and called Lian Shouren out. The couple whispered for a long time before returning to the table.
The family quickly finished breakfast, and Gu collected the bowls and secretly handed a urging look to Lian Shouren.
"Dad, mom, I'll go to the town to pay back the money," Lian Shouren said to Mr. Lian and Zhou, "I also have to buy some dowry for Huaer, and ask Huaer's mother to do it. Her mother and some of her mother should go back with me."
Mr. Lian was about to nod, but Zhou coughed. Regarding everything about his daughter-in-law, Mr. Lian always listened to Zhou's decision, so he didn't say anything and wanted to listen to what Zhou said.
"You and your two brothers go to pay back the money, and the three of them stay at home. I have already decided on Huaer's dowry. What is the ready-made shop for her aunt? There is one or two of them that are temporarily short. It is cheaper than us. Let's open the things we want to sell at home and send them to her aunt with the money to save more worry."
It was actually told Zhou that he was very impressed. Gu hurriedly turned his eyes to Lian Shouren again, telling him not to agree.
"Mom, then the Sun family is not an ordinary family, Hua'er's dowry..." Lian Shouren didn't expect Zhou to make such a arrangement, so he wanted to find a reason to shirk it.
"You have only lived in the town for a few years." Zhou interrupted Lian Shouren and glanced at Gu, "Lan'er has lived in the county for many years, and her shop has flourished. How many wealthy families have you met. She knows more about buying things than you. Hua'er's marriage is thanks to her aunt, otherwise, where would you know the son of the Sun family? It's the most secure thing to ask her aunt for the dowry."
Lian Shouren was refuted by Zhou's words. Gu did not dare to contradict Zhou at this time, so he could only worry about it.
"Besides, Hua'er is going to get married, so I have to teach her some rules, so as to avoid being a wife without rules. It is my Lian family who is embarrassed." Zhou said again.
Isn't it better to teach me like you? Gu was angry, but he could only bear it and dare not say anything.
"This matter should be done as your mother said. Huaer has been living in the town, and she hasn't lived in this old house for a few days. It will be even more difficult to come back when she goes out. In the past few months, she will live at home." said the old man. "The houses in the town are rented, unlike their own house. Huaer also has to marry at home."
"Yes, Huaer, come here and I live with you. We may have a good conversation." Lian Xiu'er also said happily.
Even the old man said something. No matter how unwilling the Gu family and the daughter of the three of them were willing, they could only agree temporarily. The awkwardness in their hearts was simply undescribable.
"It's almost autumn harvest, let Jizu and the others come back too." Before Lian Shouren went out, the old man Lian instructed again.
Lian Shouren agreed, and went to the town with Lian Shouyi and Lian Shouxin.
…………
Farmers have less time to spare every year, and the children in the farm have to help adults do their best since they were very young.
Just after dinner, Zhou moved a bench and sat under the eaves of the main room, greeting Lianzhier and Lianman'er and several children.
"Open the chicken pen and catch the chicken."
What are you doing when catching chickens? Do you want to kill chickens and eat them today? Lian Man'er turned his head to look at Lian Zhier.
"Put the chickens out and let them find food for themselves. They have to touch the milk how many eggs there are today. We don't have to worry about the roosters, just catch all the hens and touch them one by one." Lian Zhier was a little stunned when she saw Lian Man'er, and thought that she couldn't remember many things because she fell to her head, so she hurriedly explained to her.
"Oh." Lian Man'er nodded, then jumped into the chicken pen with Lian Zhier and Xiaoqi. Lian'er and Xiaoqi raised more than ten chickens, only three were roosters, and the rest were hens, and they were all hens laying eggs.
In the eyes of children, this work is similar to the nature of the game. With two sisters here, Xiaoqi became playful and chased a little hen with a sensible body, and ran around the chicken circle.
Zhou didn't care about him and just asked Lian Man'er and Lian Zhier to catch chickens.
These chickens were fed by these children, so they were not afraid of them. Lian Man'er quickly caught a reed chicken and handed it to Zhou.
Zhou took the hen and hugged it in his arms, pressed the hen with one hand, and reached the other towards the hen's butt.
Lian Man'er has some jealous and fat Cistanus type in the butt of a neon chicken. What is Zhou doing?
Zhou quickly pulled his finger back and let go of the hen.
"This one has no egg today."
As Zhou spoke, he took the other hen handed over by Lian Zhier, and continued to do the same.
"There is only one egg,... there are five eggs today." Zhou finally announced.
"I touched the breasts very accurately, and I never made any mistakes." Lian Zhier said softly.
It turned out that this method was used to touch whether the hens would lay eggs today. It was really... direct.
"Milk is really capable." Just talking about things is definitely a unique skill, at least that's what Lian Man'er thinks.
"Look at me a little bit." Zhou shouted at He who came out of the wing room, "I'm missing an egg, I'll never finish it with you."
"It's up to me if you lay more chickens and less eggs." He turned his face, threw the curtain and went into the house again.
"No one can secretly pick up eggs with milk." Lian Zhi'er smiled in Lian Man'er's ear.
"Second uncle, do you often steal eggs?" Lian Man'er reacted quickly.
Lian Zhier smiled with her lips pursed.
It turns out that Zhou is not afraid of dirty touching the chicken's butt every day. He not only wants to know the egg production in advance, but also to prevent his daughter-in-law from stealing eggs.
