Grandma Xu doesn't want to hurt her grandson, so she asks Xu Ying to ask Xu Qing for some bacon. It's said that Xu Qing killed a pig this year, so there must be no shortage of meat at home.
Xu Ying doesn't want to go.
Mrs. Xu was anxious: "how can I aggrieve you by asking for a few pieces of bacon? You can't even ask? She's your sister. You have the best relationship. Go to her and ask her to give it to you! "
She said, "I don't know how to get close to her for such a long time. Now she has money. She can pick something from her fingers and give it to us. It's enough for us to eat well and dress well. You're stupid. You don't know how to take advantage of such a good opportunity!"
"I'm not going!" Xu Ying is determined not to go. She knows in her heart that the second elder sister will definitely give some for her sake, but why does she want to do such things!
"You..." Grandma Xu was so angry that she said, "you're against the weather. You don't even listen to me!"
"Ah Ying, why do you stop such trifles?" Old lady Xu frowned.
"If you don't have the ability to go to other people's homes and eat for nothing, there's no such good thing in the world." Xu Ying is cold.
She doesn't want to let her grandmother take advantage of her second sister. She can pay for it, but it's impossible to take it for nothing!
As soon as she thinks that she will marry someone in the future, her grandmother and mother will do the same to themselves. Xu Ying will not tolerate it!
Xu Grandma see Xu Ying say what don't listen to, angry to take up the crutch to hit her, Xu Ying immediately hide far away.
Xu Ying oil and salt do not enter, Xu grandma called Xu mother to go.
Xu Laoniang also loves her son. Although she has a headache at the thought of seeing Xu Qing, she still sticks to her head.
It happened to be Xu Qing who opened the door.
"What's the matter on such a cold day?"
"Ah Qing, your brother is back." Xu Laoniang said.
Xu Qing waited for a while but did not see the following: "and then?"
"I spent a lot of money to see your grandmother before. This year, my family only pickled two pieces of meat, and they are almost finished. Xu Jie is your younger brother. How can people who don't eat good food in cold weather be energetic? So, can you give me some bacon
Xu Lao Niang's voice was imploring, and her thin cotton padded clothes were compared with Xu Qing's simple and elegant thick Cape, which made her feel pitiful.
But Xu Qing only wants to roll his eyes, not to borrow, not to credit, but to give her in vain. His face is really getting thicker and thicker!
"Ah Qing, who is it?" Li Jinmei asked at the back.
Xu Qing returned a sentence: "come to play autumn wind."
Old lady Xu's face changed slightly. Before waiting for her to say anything, she saw Li Jinmei come over with a calm face and said to Xu Qing, "you go into the room and I'll talk to her."
Xu Qing walked away obediently.
Li Jinmei walked out of the yard and closed the door of the yard. She stood opposite Xu Laoniang, obviously not wanting to be heard.
Seeing Li Jinmei's displeased face, Xu Laoniang's heart thumped for a while, and she was a little weak.
Li Jinmei said coldly, "My Li family doesn't care about others when they are full, but even if I have to care, it depends on who I am! When you married Xu Qing, you didn't have any dowry, so I acquiesced that you sold Xu Qing to my Li family. Xu Qing is a member of my Li family, who cares so much about other people's business. What does it matter to us if you have meat? "
Mother Xu
As soon as Li Jinmei was angry, her voice rushed up: "everything you want from Xu Qing is my brother's and my Li family's! My brother disdains to quarrel with you, but as his sister, I can't ignore it. Do I allow others to come and take advantage of it again and again? It's so funny. Why should we give you our things for nothing? "
"Tell me, of the daughters who got married in our village, which family is like you? They treat their daughter as a treasure. In your heart, Xu Qing is not as good as a piece of grass. Why doesn't Xu Qing wait to see you? Don't you count in your heart? You have to feel how big a face you have, how kind you are, and come here to take things for granted? "
"I can still reason with you today. Next time, don't blame me for doing it directly!"
Li Jinmei is on her way, but even her mother-in-law dares to beat people. Mother-in-law Cao is an example.
Old lady Xu walked away in embarrassment and went back to tell granny Xu what Li Jinmei had said. This time granny Xu not only scolded Xu Qing, but also Li Jinmei.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she was and the more uncomfortable she felt.
She does not let Xu Jie into her house, afraid of infection gas to him, but let Xu Ying in the past to her feet.
Xu Ying used to be obedient, but now she is too lazy to talk to her.
Xu Ying stays in her room and doesn't go anywhere. Grandma Xu mumbles that she wants to pull up the firewood from her Kang. If she doesn't give her firewood to burn, Xu Ying will do whatever she wants. If she has the ability, she will pull it out. Won't she burn it by herself.
Mrs. Xu couldn't get out of bed, so she asked Mrs. Xu to do it.
Xu's mother worried that when Xu Ying got married next year, she would have no family at all, just like Xu Qing. She thought that she would be better to Xu Ying in the future, and that she would have one more person to rely on when she was old.As for Xu grandma asked her to beat Xu Ying, Xu Niang thought she was deaf.
There were layers of snow outside. When the sun came out, Xu Qing and Li Tinghui were playing in the yard, making snowmen, building snow houses, and laying a neat row of snow dolls under the eaves.
She is really idle and bored. It rained outside two days ago. She was almost bored when she stayed in the house.
At noon, Xu Qing went into the room, took off his coat and went into the space to cook.
It's too cold outside, and it's even colder in the kitchen than in the ice cellar. Xu Qing moved the cooking place to the space and built a local stove in the space to cook.
Li Changting is not idle these days. He is working hard to build a house. He can't do anything more meaningful in the whole winter. He can only strive to build the wooden house before the Spring Festival.
Xu Qing took off his heavy cotton padded clothes, lifted up his sleeves, washed and selected vegetables by the wooden basin, as comfortable as in spring.
It's at least seven or eight degrees below zero outside, but the temperature in the space is very comfortable, neither cold nor hot.
Xu Qing moved all the livestock into the space, and the three cows found their own territory. They ate the fresh grass growing on the ground in the corner. They didn't need special care, just add water to them once a day.
In the past, Xu Qing could cook pig food to make pigs grow fat quickly. Now, seeing that pigs eat grass very well, he is too lazy to cook any more.
It's so cold that people in the village don't want to walk around. Li Jinmei only comes to see Xu Qing when it's sunny.
"What are you doing?" As soon as Li Jinmei came, she saw Xu Qing pounding garlic mortar in the room. The table was full of spices and peppers.
"Make hot pot seasoning."
"Hot pot? Do you need so many ingredients? "
