Chapter 30 - Year of the Pig (2)
Although Yue Wenwei is greedy, the news he brought to Xiao Chen is correct. Yue Wentao brothers not only came back this time, but also brought back two classmates who had played well in the academy.
The old Chen met the two classmates who were dressed like the elder brothers of the wealthy family. They suddenly panicked and hurriedly sent the young Luo standing at the door of the west cabin: “Go to the backyard and invite your grandfather , Saying there is a guest at home. “Then he was restrained and led the two to the main room:” The family killed the pigs today, the mess is messy, don’t mind the two brothers. “
“The old lady is polite, because we didn’t send the pilgrimage to the door to disturb the door, and the old lady Lao took the trouble to entertain.” One of the tall, thin-sleeved scholars gave a scholarship ceremony to the old Chen, smiling Very gentle.
Where has the old Chen heard people call her old lady? Now Chad, when he hears a scholar who looks like a talent, calls himself like this, and suddenly feels that his heart has been stirred by three points, as if he has really become an old lady who has been greeted and cherished. With a smile on his eyes, he came back: “Your brothers and sisters from the county are all golden nobles. Since they are the guests of our Yue family, this country is full of mud, can’t be slow!”
That month Dafu heard that a guest was coming, and I was still a bit puzzled. How could there be a guest in this cold day? But I still went back to the main room. I saw that Sun Er had brought the classmates of the two county seats back, and there was some sincere rejoicing: “The two brothers are the classmates of Wen Tao and brother? This cold day came all the way Don’t freeze it! “
Xu Shizhuang’s family has some natural awe of the readers. Although Yuedafu can be the grandfather of two scholars at his age, he still sits on the kang and greets him with some restraint.
The tall, thin scholar named Zhou Junpeng, stood up and greeted him with a scholarly ceremony, and said with a smile: “The old man is too polite, and Ruoshan and I also heard that Wentao once mentioned that there was a killing year in the village. The pig’s customs, after a moment of curiosity, will come over and look at it. If it causes trouble to the family, the late birth will pay you the old sin first. “
Another chubby scholar named Liu Ruoshan, with a pair of small eyes gurgling, a little impatient, and pushed the mantra to the side: “Aren’t you talking about killing pigs? Take me to see it!”
Yue Dafu and the old Chen did not feel that he was rude, but only thought that the son from the city had never seen a pig kill, and there were also novelties, so he quickly smiled and asked Yue Wentao to take the two to the backyard to see the pig kill. .
When Yue Youting got dressed up and came back, there was only Chen Chenpeng left in the main room with her teeth smiling, and the gifts brought by Zhou Junpeng and Liu Ruoshan were counted: “The brother-in-law in Guoran County is different! “
When Yue Youting didn’t see anyone, she asked the old Chen family timidly: “Boss, what about them?” There was some anxiety in his eyes, wouldn’t it be that the person had already left?
Old Chen did not notice her careful thinking, and waved at will: “Go to the backyard to see the pigs.”
Just leave! Yue Youting breathed a sigh of relief. She thought she had followed her, but she looked at her clean and beautiful new clothes. Then she thought that the pigs in the backyard were all covered with dirty water. So shameful, he resisted the urge to see the guests immediately, and just made an excuse and returned to the east wing.
***
In the backyard, now the fourth pig has been killed. Yuejia and Huang Butcher made an appointment to kill all six pigs today, and then rent Huang Butcher ’s stall to sell meat tomorrow. The money will naturally return to Yue’s house, but Butcher Huang can get some pig heads and feet, as well as the money he deserves.
Zhou Junpeng and Liu Ruoshan both fought small lives in the county, where have you seen such battles? Looking at the bearded butcher with a sharp pig-killing knife, he stabbed directly into the wailing pig, and then the pig, who was still wailing and struggling, slowly followed the rhythm of the pig’s blood filling the tub. There is no breath.
Although they looked a little scared, they were more novel. Liu Ruoshan also took a few steps closer, and planned to observe the general carefully. Yue Da Fu Sheng was afraid that the **** scene of pig killing would terrify the sons from the county, so he raised his hands and greeted the two of them back to the front courtyard: Shall we go back to the front yard? The pigs are so dirty and smelly, it would be bad if they were neglected. “
Although Liu Ruoshan still wanted to see it for a while, but when Zhou Junpeng responded, he pouted and followed the crowd back.
Seeing Liu Ruoshan seemed a little unhappy, Yue Wenli said: “Ruoshan, let’s finish eating pig dishes in a while, how about I take you to skate on the Cuifeng River?” The frozen Cuifeng River is the children of Cuifeng Village in winter A good place to play, sitting on a board and sliding down from a height, feeling the thrill of wind and electricity, is also a little fun in winter.
As soon as I heard that it was fun, Liu Ruoshan immediately regained his enthusiasm: “Ice skating? How to play?” There were no skates in this era, and the county also lacked such places, so in Liu Ruoshan’s eyes, I think it is something new.
Seeing that he really had fun, Yue Wenli and his brother hooked up nicely and said with a smile: “You can rest assured that you will finish killing pig dishes in a while, let’s have fun again and again, you guys will rest with us today It ’s not too bad at home, is n’t it? “
Liu Ruoshan nodded in satisfaction, followed Yue Wentao and others back to the main room, and drank some hot tea to warm their bodies.
The conversation between the two was overheard by the little Chen who excused himself from the kitchen on the pretext of going to the cottage, and hurriedly went to the old Chen who had returned to the kitchen supervisor to report the latest news: “Mother! I just heard Wen Li say that The two sons are going to spend the night at our house! “I thought of the two scholars who had just glanced far away, although they were only 15 or 16 years old, but looking at that line of business, it was also very glamorous, and there must be some in the family. The bottom line is that the two should be treated as their prospective son-in-law, and they are very happy.
Seeing that the old Chen had disappeared for a long time, the lazy little Chen finally came back. When he just wanted to say a few words, she was stunned by the sentence “Two sons are going to spend the night at home.” The two sons looked at the delicate and expensive meat, would they slow down others? “
“My mother! You are so busy and confused! Now where is the time to worry about slowing down the two sons? The two sons are willing to stay one more night in our house, and our young Ting is almost fifteen!” The young Chen was really clever by his usual clever life. At the critical moment, the old Chen, who was starting to be confused, turned his back and lowered his voice: “Mother! Our young Ting looks no worse than the daughter of the county, if she can marry If there are rich people in the city, can you always enjoy the blessings too? “
After listening to Xiao Chen ’s words, old Chen ’s suddenly realized that he reached out and patted his head: “It ’s really busy and chaotic, the chaos and the busy, I have forgotten this stubble!” I like Yue Youting more, but it is also the child that my own nephew gave birth to myself, and it looks a bit like the old Chen’s when he was young, so compared with other girls in the Yue family, Yue Youting is already considered as a preparation Beloved.
Thinking of Yue Youting, and thinking of her only daughter, Yue Changhong, and a 13-year-old daughter, the old Chen went to the West Chamber to find Yue Changlu in a hurry: Go to pick up your elder sister by car, and ask her to remember to bring Liu’er. “Yue Changhong’s only daughter’s name is Ge Liu’er. In the thirteenth year, it’s time to start paying attention to others. When sending Yuechanglu out, he did not forget to add a sentence: “Let your eldest sister pick up Liuer and pick it up again!”
I was in the room with Wan Niangqingqing and I, Yue Changlu, was asked by the old Chen’s head to pick people. Although he didn’t know where to go, he hurriedly set up a bullock cart to pick people up. Counting far, one hour back and forth, he took over the mother and daughter.
Over there, Xiao Chen did not expect the old Chen to hear her say that the two sons were going to stay at home for one night, and immediately thought of picking up her daughter with her grandson’s daughter. Sentence: “Every day I remember my married daughter, it’s really close to me!”
A young bead who was pulled over to replace Yue Youting’s stall and continued to burn saw her mouth moving, and she couldn’t hear what she was saying, so she asked, “Auntie Madam, what do you say?”
Suddenly, the young Pearl suddenly bluffed the little Chen’s clan: “Ouch! You are a dead girl!” Staring at the young Pearl fiercely, “What are you hiding from listening to this!” Lessons taught her.
“Auntie Niang, what did you do?” With a basket of wet cabbages back, Young Jin just saw Xiao Chen’s preparations for hand-to-hand beating and hurriedly stopped in front of You Zhu: “Just now I heard from my grandpa, There are VIPs at home today, but ca n’t be slow, no one has tea yet! “
As soon as I heard that there was tea in the main room, Xiao Chen felt that the opportunity was coming, and he was too lazy to care about his own pension. He hurriedly put down the big wooden spoon in his hand, and his greasy hands were wiped on some dirty and thick apron. Wipe, and then hurried back to the East Room.
When I saw the third sister, I said that there was no tea in the main room, and the uncle Auntie hurried out. Youzhu felt a little weird: “When did the uncle Auntie become so diligent?” This is the first in her life When I saw the uncle who was rushing to work, I couldn’t believe it.
It was young Jin who showed a clear smile. She naturally knew why Xiao Chen was so anxious. To know that the younger brother from the county seat was the sweet and sour in her eyes, she could still miss this opportunity? But after looking at the blank bead, he smiled and said, “You are still young. Some things will be understood when you grow up.”
“Oh!” Although Young Jin answered so perfunctoryly, Youzhu didn’t get to the bottom, and sitting in front of the stove burned a fire, which was a lazy opportunity.
But after a while, the well-dressed Yue Youting was dragged into the kitchen by Xiao Chen’s, and then carrying the tea prepared by Xiao Chen’s, went to the main room in a curled Nana.
