"Here, you're on a happy occasion, so I asked my eldest sister if you wanted these, would you..."
Sister Zhang generously slapped her thigh and did not feel any embarrassment. She just said: "What's the point? Just wait until you are safe and return the meat."
They borrowed the meat, vegetables, etc. and returned them in a few days. People in the village were not that particular, unless they wanted to sell them in the town to exchange for daily necessities.
Tang Zangyue didn't dwell on this, "Okay, then I won't be polite to you, Sister Zhang."
"Why are you so polite?" Sister Zhang said warmly.
With cleaning tools, no one at home will be idle.
Xiao Zhonglu, Xiao Zhongli, and even Xiao Jinghuan were responsible for moving the heavy objects and dragging the unnecessary ones to the front yard. It was getting late today, and we would discuss how to deal with these wastes tomorrow.
Aunt Liu and Xiao Yuechun scooped several basins of water from the bathtub and prepared to clean the kitchen and bedroom.
The twins, Xiao Yuenong and Xiao Ling'er were responsible for wiping the dust.
The dust was too thick, so a few children were responsible for the first scrubbing. After the adults finished other tasks, they were responsible for the second scrubbing carefully, so that the living environment could at least be cleaner.
The kitchen was quite dirty, and there was a bit of grease accumulated over the years, so Aunt Liu and Xiao Yuechun finally cleaned it up.
Tang Zangyue followed Sister Zhang to her house to borrow meat.
When I came back, I was carrying three kilograms of pork belly.
At this time, the kitchen was almost tidied up. Tang Zangyue asked Aunt Liu to cook, Xiao Yuenong was responsible for lighting the fire, and she and others tidied up other places.
The pork belly was sliced and ready to be stir-fried with soybean paste. As soon as the meat was cut, Aunt Liu discovered that Tang Zangyue had brought back a few potatoes and a head of Chinese cabbage.
have to.
Just a hodgepodge.
Whatever is stewed, pour it all into the pot!
Even if it is a hodgepodge, Aunt Liu's talent in cooking is like God's gift of food, so that everyone eats it with gusto. Probably, there are elements of being too tired and elements that have not touched meat for a long time.
After that, the family boiled water and prepared to take a long bath before going to sleep.
When Tang Zangyue was rubbing Xiao Ling'er's back, she heard the child say: "Grandma, the meat tastes so good."
The women at home wash in the kitchen with the door closed, while the men wash in the front yard.
Xiao Yuenong couldn't help but smile: "I've never seen you greedy for this before."
Sister Ling muttered: "It's different."
Aunt Liu's expression changed. She carefully looked at Tang Zangyue's face and found that the latter said unconcernedly: "Life will be fine."
In later generations, heating equipment was available in the north. In ancient times, people used to burn kangs for heating.
How to burn a kang? The kitchen is next to the bedroom. Every time I finish cooking, the kang is hot and the quilt is warm. But the design of this yard is unreasonable. Next door is the toilet, and the bed is also a southern wooden bed.
Perhaps it has been idle for a long time, so the bedroom has no smell and is not damp...
When I think about the use of the latrine, the bedroom will be fumed, and even when I go to bed at night, I will be smelling of tuberose all night long. (﹏
Well, I can't bear it.
This yard needs to be expanded and renovated as soon as possible.
Sister Ling tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Not only her, but the twins were also rolling around. The tossing was so intense that Xiao Zhonglu, the best-tempered one, even darkened his face and said, "If you don't want to sleep, get out!"
If his grandmother hadn't been there, he would have said the word "go away".
The twins were forced to settle down.
They were all young, but Xiao Yuenong was very quiet. Not only did she not talk much on the way, but she also took good care of Sister Ling, the youngest. Now she had settled into the new environment and was breathing evenly in bed, but she did not fall asleep.
Xiao Yuenong tried to open her eyes and looked at the long-standing beam.
Then, I couldn't sleep even more.
Tang Zangyue was sleepless all night and slept until dawn.
Sleeping in the middle, separating the sons and daughters of the family, she not only snored but also grinded her teeth, making it even more difficult for the men and women sitting on the two big beds very close to each other to fall asleep.
As soon as she woke up, she stretched out and energetically greeted all the big and small panda eyes, "Good morning."
Good guy, the big and small panda eyes all looked at her sadly...
Tang Zangyue raised a question mark above his head and said, "What's wrong?"
They can only endure it and dare not speak out.
Tang Zangyue struck with both palms and said: "Okay, since there's nothing wrong, let's pack it up quickly and let's discuss the matter together."
After cleaning, they went to the bedroom.
Aunt Liu was holding Sister Ling in her arms, and next to her was Xiao Yuenong. Xiao Yuechun was sitting on the dividing line between women and men. Next to her was Xiao Zhongli, then the twins, Xiao Zhonglu, and at the end was Xiao Jinhuan.
This bastard is not as ridiculous as before. He probably became taciturn after being hit by his true love Zhang several times. He didn't tell him what to do, but took the initiative to share the heavy work in the team. He didn't say anything about trying to please Xiao Zhongli, his own son, and just kept silent.
Doing things is equivalent to being an invisible person in the family.
However, if he really rushed towards Xiao Zhongli, it would make people uncomfortable and too false.
Tang Zangyue: "The design of this yard is unreasonable. Brother Li, brother Lu, today you will accompany me to the village chief's house, borrow some tools, tear down the backyard wall, and expand it with concrete and cobblestones.
The latrine next door hasn't been used yet, so you don't feel anything right now. When summer and winter come, the bedroom will smell loud and humid. You don't want to go out every day and feel the night scent all over your body, right?"
The whole family was in a state of excitement.
They are also used to living a wealthy life, and their clothes are scented every day when they go out. Now that they don't have to smoke, at least they have to make sure they are clean and tidy, right?
Now, what's the big deal when going out with the scent of night scent!
"Don't think about it, don't think about it, smelly, smelly." Others resisted on their faces, but Sister Ling, Tong Yanwuji, expressed her inner thoughts, and even crawled into Aunt Liu's arms, looking sheepish.
Xiao Zhongli and Xiao Yuechun didn't feel much about it. After all, they had slept in a pig pen at Qian's house, picked up manure, and hadn't taken a shower for months or even a year. This kind of environment was nothing.
But the more they acted indifferently and didn't take it to heart, the more Tang Zangyue felt distressed.
She glanced at that bastard whose brows were also moved.
The heart asks: Just tell me whether you have suffered a loss or not!
That thing was so busy that it lowered its head and stopped talking or looking at anything.
Tang Zangyue converged her gaze and added: "After the yard is expanded, the hut next door will be demolished and a hut and bathroom will be built farther away in the backyard."
"Grandma, do we have enough money?" Xiao Zhonglu said with a sad face.
After going through this journey, he understands the sudden changes in his family.
"Brother is so stupid. Did you forget that grandma gave the third uncle the banknotes in the dungeon? Grandma hid something, this is it." Sister Ling raised her head from Aunt Liu's arms, gave a thumbs up, and said.
Xiao Zhonglu seemed to have remembered this.
After suffering too much, I forgot about this.
Tang Zangyue coughed twice, interrupting Sister Ling's cleverness, "Don't think it's safe when you get here. There are many eyes watching us. Even if we want to live a good life, we have to take our time here."
Xiao Zhongli thought of a ray of sky, met Tang Zangyue's eyes again, and finally closed his lips without saying anything.
The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, especially since Sister Ling and the twins have not yet been identified, it is easy for children to spill the beans. Plus there is Xiao Jinhuan.
Tang Zangyue: "However, the people above, including the powerful people in the DPRK and the Central Government, look down upon businessmen among scholars, farmers, and merchants. Therefore, Aunt Liu can maintain the family's livelihood."
She means the surface.
Aunt Liu pointed at herself, and after receiving Tang Zangyue's affirmative look, her face suddenly turned red!
Aunt Liu hurriedly waved her hands, "Me? I can't do it, I can't do it. Old lady, how can this family's livelihood depend on me..."
