After being forced to marry a butcher

Chapter 43

The family split up, and this matter was quickly known by many people in the village, although the root cause was Yang Qiuqin's mother-in-law's eccentricity. But this time the quarrel started because Yang Qiuqin asked Xiaoxue to learn embroidery at a price of one tael or two.

Therefore, there was a lot of discussion in the village early this morning.

"Grandma Qiuqin was really partial in the past, but this time Qiuqin asked Xiaoxue to learn embroidery for a tael or two, which is a bit too generous.

" Qiuqin and his wife did it by themselves, so why does her mother-in-law disagree?" "It

takes three to five years to learn this embroidery work, and it costs five or six taels of silver!" "

That's right, and the child is still young It's hard to say what you can learn!"

"Does Qingshan's family collect too much..."

Liu Guiying let go, "I have to say a few words for my family about this, Brother Yu's embroidery work. I just heard that it is very good, but I have never seen it."

"But you can go to the Ruyi Cloth Shop in the county and ask, a silk handkerchief embroidered by Brother Yu can sell for twenty-five yuan a piece there. I am not bragging, that embroidery skill , Even if you go to work in an embroidery village, it will not be difficult."

The villagers were surprised to hear that a handkerchief can earn more than ten yuan!

If you can work in an embroidery village, people in the city will rush to ask for it!

A few people who had asked Liuyu embroidery before also stood up and said, "Brother Yu is really good at embroidery."

They are also famous in the village for their embroidery skills, because they often take their embroidered things to the county town If you earn more or less, you can make money for your family.

The villagers thought about it again, it is really not a loss to spend five or six taels to learn a craft that can be passed on to their daughters in the future.

Yang Qiuqin couldn't let people misunderstand Li Qingshan's family, so she came out and explained, the county embroiderer charged one to two five yuan, and she could try it for three months, so it was all good words.

This time, the people in the village didn't gossip anymore. Thinking about it, it would be nice if they were willing to teach others the handicrafts of the family. Besides, if anyone in the village lacks that one or two dollars, now Li Qingshan's family definitely does not lack it!

Those who are active and love their daughters have already begun to think about asking their daughters to learn; some want to wait three months to see how Xiaoxue learns.

"So don't worry, no one will talk about us!" Liu Guiying said.

Li Qingshan's house is far away, everything is over, and I only heard Liu Guiying say it now.

The old lady Guan and Cong Chunhua were relieved when they heard the words.

After a while, Yang Qiuqin brought Xiaoxue over.

Cong Chunhua and Liu Yu felt uncomfortable seeing the slap marks on her face, Yang Qiuqin smiled and said, "Don't worry, ma'am, I'm happy now!

" , she is confident that she can make life better.

Xiaoxue knew that she had to win over her mother, so she was more serious about her studies. Only Liu Yu felt uncomfortable, and said to Li Qingshan when lying on the bed at night: "I hate embroidery, and I hate how to bind people with

needles and threads. Now I have to teach others how to embroider."

He felt a little uncomfortable.

Li Qingshan hugged him to comfort him, "It's not easy for a woman to live in the world. If she doesn't have any skills, her life may be worse in the future." Born in a farming family, people have so many choices

. Get better.

"Let's talk about it." Li Qingshan pinched Liu Yu's small face, "You still think that others are imitating you to pretend like this! Xiaoxue is quiet and shy looking at it, but she really likes embroidery!" As usual, Liu Yu should turn around angrily at this

time Going to ignore Li Qingshan, but now he just hummed twice and said: "I'm angry!"

Li Qingshan pulled the quilt to cover the two of them, and pressed them under him, "Don't be angry, I will apologize to you for my husband! "

...

Later, there are two more families who want to send their children here. Liu Yu discussed with Cong Chunhua and Mrs. Guan. But these two families are very demanding, and after all, they are all surnamed Li, so it is not good to favor one over the other.

In the end, I still accepted it, but I asked for the certificate of the clan elder. After all, the master is the one who leads the door to practice, and everyone has different qualifications. Don't blame the master for how well you learn.

In a blink of an eye, the winter solstice is here, and this year's winter solstice is exactly thirty, the day before the twelfth lunar month.

These days, she has been eating and drinking, and the old lady Guan is in good health. Because she teaches the three children how to embroider from time to time every day, she looks more energetic, and Liu Yu feels more and more lighthearted.

During the winter solstice in the north, there is a custom that every household eats dumplings.

Li Qingshan did a big job today and killed three pigs. After he became a butcher, the nearby villages gradually knew when he slaughtered pigs, and they usually bought meat from him when they wanted to eat meat. It was so close.

However, there were a lot of meat buyers in the village today, Li Qingshan was in a hurry to go to the county town, so he kept some of the meat and asked Li Qinghe and Uncle Li to help sell it in the village, and he took the rest to the county town.

The weather has been pretty good for half a month, and there is no delay in getting out of the stall. Li Qingshan has earned two or two taels of silver, including the original plus willow fish embroidery work this month, and there are two big fairs selling youth groups and rice flower candies to earn money. , The two of them have more than five taels of silver in their hands.

Liu Yu helped Li Qingshan get dressed and sent him out, "Wait for you to come back to eat dumplings."

Li Qingshan bent his legs and turned his left cheek.

Liu Yu raised the corners of her lips and kissed him on the cheek. You felt it was not enough, after Li Qingshan stood up straight, Liu Yu put his arms around his neck and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips, as if hanging on his body, he said: "Come back early." Li Qingshan lowered his head and

kissed He took a bite, rubbed his forehead again, and went out happily.

Liu Yu leaned on the door frame and watched him pull something weighing more than two hundred catties in such a severe cold day, and the sourness in his eyes couldn't be stopped.

Li Qingshan knew that Liu Yu would stand at the gate to watch him, before turning the corner, he turned his head and smiled at Liu Yu, beckoning him to go back to the house, Liu Yu smiled and waved back to him, but his eyes were already wet.

Li Qingshan is right, he just loves him.

Liu Yu wiped away her tears and went back to the house with a smile on her face.

In the house, Cong Chunhua was frying black sesame seeds. In the north, she wanted to eat dumplings. Cong Chunhua did not forget the habit of eating glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice in the south. She even steamed a pumpkin and asked Liu Yu to make some snacks later.

It's the holidays, you have to be happy.

Liu Yu asked: "Mom, what kind of stuffed dumplings are we going to make today?"

The kitchen knife at home was taken by Uncle Li and the others to divide the meat, and now we can't chop the stuffed meat, but we can wash all the vegetables now.

"Make pure pork and scallions, pork radish, and sauerkraut!"

Taking advantage of this day, wrap more and put them outside on the freezer, and cook them directly when you want to eat them.

Willow brought hot water out to wash the vegetables.

Li Lerong had had enough of watching outside and ran in and said: "Brother Liuyu, there are so many people buying meat! I think the meat left by Brother Qingshan will be sold out soon!" As for the winter solstice, no matter how poor people are

willing Cut some leftover meat to eat.

Liu Yu smiled, and told him to bring Xianhu and sister Tian to eat glutinous rice balls at noon.

Li Lerong nodded in agreement, his family and Brother Qingshan's family have always given each other delicious food, and he has a good relationship with Brother Liuyu, there is nothing polite about this kind of thing.

Li Lerong and Liu Yu brought the dishes back to the house together, Li Qinghe and Uncle Li also sold out all the pork, some of them were late, and regretted it.

Nearly a pig was sold for a small sack of money, which seemed to be very important, Li Le Rong yelled that he had never seen so much money in one go!

With a knife, I started cutting vegetables and chopping stuffing. Dang Dang Dang and Dangya, each household in the village basically had this sound.

Cong Chunhua said that it was the festival, and at noon there would be a big meal for the piglets and the chickens that had grown up.

One person chops the stuffing, and one person kneads the noodles. When the one who chops the stuffing gets tired, exchange it with the one who kneads the noodles.

After finishing, the willow fish was rolled out, and Mrs. Guan and Cong Chunhua made dumplings together.

After wrapping up a curtain, the willow fish was brought out to dry and slowly frozen.

The three of them worked together and made more than 500 dumplings for more than an hour. But they didn't plan to cook at noon, they all wanted to wait for Li Qingshan to come back, the dumplings would be lively only if the whole family eats them together.

After making the dumplings, I started making glutinous rice balls and pressing pumpkin puree to make pumpkin hair cake.

At this time, Li Lerong also finished making the dumplings at home and was released, bringing Xianhu and sister Tian together to "make trouble".

Cong Chunhua slapped each of them, grabbed a small piece of dough for each of them, and sent Xianhu and sister Tian away to play.

"Brother Rong, why haven't you seen your eldest sister for a while?" Cong Chunhua asked while making glutinous rice balls.

"That's right, my mother just said that she didn't see anyone from her family coming to cut her flesh this morning."

Li Lerong's eldest sister, Li Suzhi, married to Liangzhuang, not far away, and he saw many people from Liangzhuang coming to cut her flesh this morning. It doesn't make sense for his elder sister not to come, "Is there something to delay Xing?"

Cong Chunhua, who has more experience, doesn't think so, thinking about finding an excuse to call Li Suzhi back to ask about it.

Speaking of which, the glutinous rice balls are all wrapped, this thing should not be eaten too much, even if it is sweet, it is not wrapped too much.

Under the urging of Xianhu and Sister Tian, ​​Liu Yu hurriedly cooked a pot. In order to prevent the glutinous rice balls from sticking to the pan, push them slowly with a spoon. When the glutinous rice balls float up, it means they are all cooked.

Soft and glutinous, sweet and delicious, it is just right for one person to eat six or seven sweet mouths, after all, I have to save my stomach for dumplings at noon.

The willow fish filled a large soup bowl and asked Li Lerong to take it home, and started steaming pumpkin cakes again.

Li Lerong came back to Zhile, "Second sister-in-law is so envious of me, saying that he is growing grass at home, hahaha."

Wu Tong is not yet three months pregnant, because it is the first child that is finally conceived, no matter if it is Liu Guiying It's still Wu Tong himself who attaches great importance to it, and keeps it at home as little as possible to avoid catching cold, and everything will be discussed after the baby is firmly established.

As soon as he said this, Mrs. Guan and Cong Chunhua looked at Liu Yu's belly. After all, the family was more lively with a child, and they all looked forward to it.

But they all know a little about the plan of the young couple, so it is not easy to urge them to avoid embarrassing the young couple.

At this stage, as long as the young couple can live together in love, Cong Chunhua feels relieved when she thinks that her son is smiling all day long. After a hard day's work outside, he can be regarded as a caring person who talks .

The pumpkin hair cake is soft and sweet and the glutinous rice balls are two different tastes. One person shared a small piece and didn't dare to eat more, otherwise the stomach would really not be able to hold the dumplings.

At this moment, the sky is snowing again, which is the second snowfall this winter. Cong Chunhua said that there will be several snowfalls in the twelfth lunar month.

Liu Yu looked at the snowflakes all over the sky, hoping that Li Qingshan would come back soon.
