Mrs. Cong's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, hurriedly said something else to let the mother and daughter shed their tears, "Why didn't you see Qingshan and his husband?" Mrs. Cong hurriedly looked

behind Cong Chunhua when she heard that, but there was really no one there. Ask her why she didn't ask Qingshan and Brother Yu to come over together.

Li Qingshan and Liu Yu visited Cong's house on the third day of their wedding, Liu Yu is the husband Li Qingshan married when he was not young, he is good-looking and gentle, very polite, Mrs Cong likes it in her heart.

"Go into the room first." Cong Chunhua entered the room, and showed the old lady Cong the pork leg wrapped in a cage cloth in her basket.

"Why bring this!" A pig's front leg weighs more than ten catties, and it costs more than two hundred Wen.

Both Mrs. Cong and Mrs. Zhu blamed her for what she was doing with such a heavy gift. Her life was not easy in the first place, and now that there are two more people in the family eating, I am afraid it will be even more difficult.

Cong Chunhua laughed, and then slowly said that Li Qingshan is now a butcher.

Mrs. Cong and Mrs. Zhu were overjoyed.

Cong Chunhua said: "Qingshan has a stall. Brother Yu will take care of him at home. I won't ask them to come. They will come again when Brother Yi gets married." "Yes, yes,

business is more important." I don't know what to do, I don't have to worry about it after I have a foundation.

Cong Chunhua was only ten years old when Mrs. Zhu married into Cong's family. The two spent a long time together and had a good relationship, so Mrs. Zhu was not happy.

Cong Lao Er's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, also got the letter at this moment, and hurried over, and stopped as soon as she entered the main room and looked at the big pig leg in the back basket.

This... what is this situation!

The last quarrel involved her son. Cong Chunhua is still holding her breath in her heart, but after all, she is still a family. She can't let her second brother be caught in the middle. .

She first opened her mouth to call the second sister-in-law, Wang responded, and said with a smile: "He is here, auntie." After she finished speaking,

she looked at Mrs. Cong's face. In fact, she married into the Cong family. The few sisters in the family are doing well, not because they say they are rich, but because they are not angry.

The mother-in-law is kind, and the sister-in-law is generous and let her and the man make progress in everything, but when she was in a twitch, she was afraid that the mother-in-law would promise her brother-in-law to Li Qingshan, so she wanted to tell Li Qingshan about the marriage, and she was offended all of a sudden. .

Especially Mrs. Cong, Mrs. Wang has never seen her get so angry after so many years of marriage. Now she sees Mrs. Cong like a mouse or a cat. Mazza sat on the side.

Cong Chunhua then told Mrs. Cong about Li Qingshan, and after talking about Li Qingshan, he talked about Liu Yu's, saying that he was so skillful that he could earn more than ten yuan for each embroidered handkerchief sold at a cloth shop, and he even made that youth group. Sell ​​it, but earn a lot of money.

After listening for a long time, Mrs. Wang understood.

What!

Kid Qingshan became a butcher!

She was anxious and wanted to ask what was going on, but there was no time for her to intervene.

The old lady Cong was very happy, she kept saying that Liu Yu was a lucky star, and after Qingshan married him, everything went smoothly, and she also told Cong Chunhua to treat the old lady Guan kindly, so that Liuyu could live with Li Qingshan at ease.

On the other side, Liu Yu and Mrs. Guan were grinding noodles in the village ancestral hall while the sun was shining.

I need to grind more now, so that I can prepare enough food for the warm spring in the coming year, otherwise I really don't want to come out to touch this cold stone mill in the twelfth lunar month.

There are two stone mills, Liuyu and Li Lerong each occupy one, and each grinds their own. The two of them have a good relationship, such as pounding rice, grinding noodles, and washing clothes. They often work together, chatting and working together , not in a hurry.

The old lady Guan, who was helping push the wheat with a cooking grate, was very relieved to see Liu Yu's smiles increasing.

Only in this way can I look like a teenage boy, lively and smiling.

Two days later, Cong Chunhua came back from her mother's house and asked Li Qingshan to go to Cong's second uncle's house to kill pigs on the seventh day of the first day.

Brother Yi is on the eighth day of the eighth day, and the pigs are slaughtered in the afternoon of the seventh day, so don't worry about it being cold.

Liu Yu, who was embroidering handkerchiefs in the house, heard the conversation in the yard, and inadvertently poked her finger with the embroidery needle. When Li Qingshan entered the room and saw that

he was not quite right, he asked him: "What's wrong?"

Now."

Li Qingshan was amused, Liu Yu is a person who is weak on the outside but very strong on the inside, rarely acting coquettishly and showing weakness, Li Qingshan very cooperatively said in a coaxing three-year-old tone: "Then let me see." Liu

Yu Nauseous enough, dodging and rolling on the kang, Li Qingshan rushed over and the two made a fuss.

Thinking that Cong Chunhua and Mrs. Guan were still cooking in the kitchen and would come in at any time, the two had a tacit quarrel for a while before stopping.

Li Qingshan said: "It's so dark, don't embroider it."

Although the window was pasted with oiled paper, it was fine during the day when the light was good, but now it's evening.

Liu Yu said: "Isn't it lighting the oil lamp?"

"It's dark too!" Li Qingshan put the willow fish embroidery frame into the sewing basket and put it on the cabinet at the top of the kang, "I will do it when the light is good." Liu

Yu Yu nodded and asked him: "Should we stay at my grandmother's house on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year?"

Yu Chao greeted his relatives at dusk, and Li Qingshan was definitely going to be married that day. It is very late.

Li Qingshan scratched the tip of his nose lightly and said: "Mother wants to stay there for a few more nights, we will come back that night."

Both Mrs. Cong and Mrs. Cong Chunhua actually wanted to ask Mrs. Guan to go to have dinner that day, but Guan The old lady didn't know the people there well, so she would have been very reserved if she went there, but in fact she would be more comfortable at home.

Li Qingshan knew that his husband and grandmother had been together for so many years and never separated, so he was worried, so he said: "I will go back that day after seeing off the wedding, and I will return after drinking the official toast of the groom. Let's rent a mule cart and hurry back!" Liu Yu was amused by

him

Li Qingshan snorted and said: "You can argue with me!" The

two quarreled, and Cong Chunhua called for dinner, and they got off the kang and put on their shoes Wash your hands and go to the kitchen to help serve meals.

Today I ate pickled eggplant, fried bacon and vinegared cabbage, served with pork bone and radish soup, and wheat flour steamed buns.

The dried eggplant was dried in the autumn harvest, some of it was stored, and some of it was marinated with salt and chopped pepper. Now it can be eaten. Add dried pepper and garlic, cut a few slices of bacon and fry it. It's dinner.

Cong Chunhua said: "I don't have much bacon at home, let's make dozens of catties at a time when the winter solstice comes!"

Bacon was originally thought of by people to store fresh meat for a longer period of time, but its unique flavor and taste have gradually captured the hearts of the people, so that some people even buy fresh meat to make it every winter.

Everyone in the family didn't have any objections. After hearing this, Liu Yu took a sip of the hot and delicious pork bone soup with a bowl. Thinking of so much food in the house, his eyes gradually rolled up.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Li Qingshan got up early and finished killing the pig. He had to sell the pig before going to Cong's second uncle's house in Congjia Village to help.

Liuyu of Congjia Village has also been there, it is really far away, Li Qingshan is pushing a cart and it is inconvenient to take a mule cart, Liuyu helped him tidy up his clothes and said: "If it is late, just stay there for one night , don't drive at night."

"Don't worry, I won't go to pick up pigs today, I can go home before dark." Li Qingshan said.

Liu Yu helped him get everything ready, and when he was about to send him out, he felt a bit reluctant, "Then... go and come back quickly."

Li Qingshan smiled, lowered his head and kissed him on the lips, and pushed the cart out. up.

There was still his warmth on his lips, and the corners of Liu Yu's lips could not help but twitch, but when Li Qingshan went to Congjia Village, he might meet that widow and said a few more words, his mood was not so clear.

Congjia Village.

Wang Hao'er is Wang's nephew, and he would come to help Yi Ge'er when he got married.

There are six sisters in the Wang family, only Wang Haoer's father and a younger brother. This Wang Haoer's father has only one son and a younger brother. Wang's life is smooth and there are not many worries. My nephew is in pain.

When Wang Haoer was old enough, when he came to Congjia Village, he was happy within two months of being married, and he got a big fat boy in one fell swoop. Life was pretty good, but three years ago, when his men went to mine, the mine collapsed. , was stoned to death.

Mrs. Wang felt sorry for him even more, and often searched for things from the Cong family to help him, and kept thinking about telling him about his relatives.

In the Yu Dynasty, there were many men and few brothers and girls. Even though Wang Hao'er was already married, if he wanted to talk about his family seriously, he would not worry at all.

But he is not willing to part with his son. If he wants to bring his son to marry, it is very uneconomical. Before the age of fifteen, he will eat food for free, and after he is fifteen, he will have to spend money to marry him. Who wants to raise him for nothing? children.

Wang Hao'er also gradually gave up, thinking that she would grit her teeth and bring up the child. But there is no man in the family to be the pillar, so it is so easy.

Until one time when his son was bullied outside, Li Qingshan hugged his son and sent him to the door, with that gentle and reliable appearance, Wang Haoer thought that he was not young and hadn't talked about marriage, not only his thoughts moved, but also his heart moved up.

Seeing Wang Haoer coming, Mrs. Wang pulled him aside, "Why are you here?"

"Fourth Aunt." Wang Haoer said, "It's close, I'm Brother Yi's cousin; Now, my man's surname is Cong! Why can't I stop coming after your family's business because of that incident?" That's the

reason, but isn't Qingshan coming to kill pigs today? Wang is afraid that her mother-in-law and her The man saw her and blamed her for not being able to do things, and told Wang Hao'er to leave first, and come back at dinner tomorrow.

Wang Haoer didn't want to, the two were in a stalemate, so they heard Wang's eldest son outside the courtyard say: "Hey, Qingshan is here!"
