Chapter 348： The wishful thinking of Huang Jianguo and his wife

Chapter 348 Huang Jianguo and his wife's wishful thinking

Yang Xinghua's dislike of her second daughter-in-law is certainly not for nothing.

In previous years, the Huang family also marinated bacon at about this time. After marinating, they were neatly hung above the stove in the kitchen.

Hanging bacon on the kitchen stove is both traditional and exquisite.

Firstly, the fume from daily cooking can smoke and roast bacon to achieve the effect of air-drying and antisepsis. Second, after long-term smoking and roasting, the taste of bacon is more fragrant and the meat is firmer.

In previous years, whenever the Huang family’s bacon was marinated, the second child and his wife would find all kinds of excuses to come to “borrow” the bacon.

To entertain guests today, to give gifts tomorrow, I borrowed it once and never returned it.

After suffering several losses, the old couple ignored the cheeky behavior of the second couple coming to the door to "borrow" meat.

Last year, the second child borrowed money twice and failed to get it, so they stopped.

Later, when the new year was approaching, the second and second couple took the initiative to come to the house to help clean up the dust. Yang Xinghua was moved for a long time by their filial piety, but at night, Liu Zhi found that two pieces of bacon hanging above the stove were missing.

Two pieces of bacon weigh at least two catties, and the Huang family only marinated six pieces of bacon in total, so one-third of this was lost.

For the Huang family, which was not well-to-do, it was tantamount to worsening the situation. Yang Xinghua was so angry that she wiped away tears for several days.

Although everyone can guess who "slipped" the bacon away, there is no evidence after all, and the quarrel made the villagers laugh at it.

The son and daughter-in-law stole to the parents' house, and the Huang family couldn't afford to lose face.

Holding this tone until now, Yang Xinghua didn't let it go.

So, when the second child entered the door today, Yang Xinghua immediately secretly ordered the eldest daughter-in-law to take down the bacon, chicken and duck hanging from the stove, and hide them in the big vat in the firewood room.

The big tank was used to store water in the past, and it was 1.5 meters high. Later, a well was dug at home, and the big tank was useless, and it had been left empty in the woodshed.

Now that Peng Fang asked about her bacon inside and out, she obviously wanted to repeat the old trick of making bacon. How could Yang Xinghua feel happy in her heart, and couldn't help scolding: "If you want to eat, it's delicious, if you don't want to eat, just go to the table , don't stick around here to be annoying."

Peng Fang is also a temperamental person, and immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks, "I, an outsider, is not welcome as a co-author, okay, I won't eat, and your family members eat slowly!"

Peng Fang had just left, when Liu Zhi put down his bowl and chopsticks and followed.

Although the bacon has been hidden by her and her mother-in-law, the firewood room is not hidden, and you can still find it if you look carefully.

The village is only this big, if there is any trouble, it will be spread quickly.

Peng Fang had heard about the Huang family's purchase of meat and chickens, and she had already made up her mind.

30 catties of pork, several chickens and ducks, she can't share two chickens and ducks too much.

But it’s weird, there’s nothing in the kitchen, where can I hide it?

Peng Fang subconsciously looked at the firewood room, and was about to go in to have a look, when Liu Zhi suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Siblings, how is your discussion with Jianguo about setting up a bamboo weaving factory?"

Peng Fang had no choice but to suppress her thoughts, and said sourly: "Sister-in-law, Jianguo and I are not as lucky as you. We have the support of our niece and are willing to give you money to set up a factory. There is no money on it.

How about, sister-in-law talk to my niece, let her also borrow us thousands of dollars to do business? "

Liu Zhi fought back neither soft nor hard, "Why, all the money borrowed by my brother and sister from Huang Yao has been spent?"

Peng Fang's heart skipped a beat. How did Liu Zhi know that she asked Huang Yao to borrow money?

I was puzzled in my heart, but hurriedly denied it, "It's nothing, I don't even know where Huang Yao is, how can I ask her to borrow money?"

Liu Zhi snorted softly, "Could it be that Huang Yao is lying, she said that you called her and threatened her, asking her to lend you 500 yuan, or you will spread the news about her stealing money.

It's a pity that she didn't have enough money on hand, so she only remitted 200. Why, didn't the siblings receive the money? "

As he spoke, Liu Zhi suddenly became angry, "This Huang Yao is lying and deceiving people again. When she comes back, Zhiqiu must teach her a lesson!"

Peng Fang was startled and anxious, "Huang Yao is coming back?"

"Of course, the Huang family has raised her for 18 years, and she ran away without saying a word. She should come back and have an explanation."

"Then, when will she come back?"

"I said that I will come back during the holidays. I guess I will come back with Yunmo during the winter vacation."

Peng Fang didn't know that Liu Zhi was talking nonsense, and thought that Huang Yao really wanted to go back to the village during the Chinese New Year, and her heart fluttered suddenly.

Huang Yao came back, so she couldn't hide the money she borrowed. And knowing that her son Huang Zhao didn't go to technical school, Huang Yao would definitely let her pay back the money.

This is what to do.

At this time, Peng Fang was thinking about borrowing money from Huang Yao, so she couldn't care less about finding the bacon that Yang Xinghua hid.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Liu Zhi turned around with a sneer and went back to the main room, quickly cleared the dishes on the dining table and went to the kitchen to clean them.

In the hall.

Huang Jianguo, who was full of food and drink, casually broke a thin bamboo thread, and talked about setting up a factory while picking his teeth.

"Dad, I discussed it with Peng Fang, and we got involved in the matter of setting up a bamboo weaving factory. First, we don't have the spare money to toss about. Second, Peng Fang and I have made up our minds that we will go out to work after the Chinese New Year."

The second child was unwilling to engage in bamboo weaving. Huang Kailin was mentally prepared, but he didn't expect the second child to go out to work.

"You and Peng Fang have gone out, who will take care of the crops?"

The land in this era is under the contract responsibility system, and the land allocated to each household must be handed over to the public grain.

If you don’t pay the public grain or don’t pay enough, you will be criticized and punished, and even the village has the right to take back the land, so you don’t have to plant it in the future.

For rural people, the land is bigger than the sky, and it is more important than their lifeblood.

Huang Jianguo naturally understood this truth, and said with a smile: "Dad, I didn't come to discuss with you. Our family has a total of 7 acres of land, 2 acres of dry land, and 7 or 8 points of private land, which adds up to 10 acres. Mu is in his early years, and I want you and elder brother to help us plant it."

Hearing this, not to mention Huang Kailin's old face, even the simple and honest Huang Jianjun's expression darkened.

Huang Zhiqiu couldn't suppress his anger even more, "Second brother, my father is almost 70 years old, and my mother is not in good health. My eldest brother and sister-in-law are now planting more than 15 acres of land for the whole family. Your family's 10 acres!?"

Huang Jianguo didn't take it seriously, "Isn't there still you? You are idle at home every day and have nothing to do. You help plant a variety. Don't worry, my brother will not treat you badly. Except for the public rations handed in, the rest of us Add two to one and make five, you get half and I get half..."

Huang Zhiqiu was simply unbelievable, "I planted the land for you as a co-author, and you get half of the harvest?"

"Of course, the land is mine. You just contribute some effort and fertilizer seeds. Speaking of which, you still earn money..."

"Since you feel that you are at a disadvantage, you can grow it yourself."

"Isn't it because I want to go out, I can't grow it, so I ask you for help..."

Huang Kailin slapped the table heavily, interrupting the dispute between the siblings.

Huang Kailin looked at the second son Huang Jianguo with a serious face, "I will not stop you and Peng Fang from going out to work, but you can find people for your land. I am old and can't do it anymore. Your elder brother is busy with bamboo weaving. I don’t have the energy and time for factory work.”

"Dad, I can't find anyone, otherwise I wouldn't beg you and brother..."
