The next day is a wake and cry. Relatives and folks from the village who received the news of the death will come to express their condolences with funeral rites and funeral tents. The host will take care of the meal at noon.

As it is customary to stop the coffin for three days before the funeral, three days in a row plus two days for the funeral may make the host's family poor, so the funeral banquet should have "clear water and little soup".

Yesterday Cong Chunhua ordered eight bowls of noodles with everyone from Mrs. Li, namely: steamed ribs, stewed crispy meat, stewed tofu, clear water balls, fried gourd, mixed stew, fried pickles sticks in lard, and egg soup.

These few dishes are very simple, the meat can be bought directly from Li Qingshan, there is no need to go to the county to buy anything else.

Li Qingshan killed a pig on this day, and other businesses of the shop were temporarily suspended.

Cong Chunhua went to Mrs. Li's side to do the dinner, and Mrs. Guan went to help her.

Liu Yu had nothing to do at home, so he spread mats in the yard and made clothes.

These fabrics were bought at the beginning of the month to cut this year's new clothes for him, so it didn't take long for him to be diagnosed as pregnant. After a few months, his stomach gradually grew bigger, and it would be a waste to make clothes for his body out of such good fabrics, so he wanted to pull some cheap fabrics to make them.

But Li Qingshan and Cong Chunhua disagreed, telling him to just do it and buy it when the time comes. Cong Chunhua also said that he would be in a better mood if he dressed nicely, so that the child in his stomach would also be in a better mood.

After listening, Liu Yu rested his mind. Now, everything is less important than his child.

Only one pig was sold very quickly, there was no smell coming from the backyard today, and many people asked if cooked cuts would not be sold today, Li Qingshan answered truthfully.

The man was quite regretful, "Oh, I still want to buy marinated green beans to eat."

Li Qingshan said that he would buy some more as a gift when he came tomorrow, and the man was so coaxed to leave with the meat happily.

After closing the shop and going home to put the mule in place, Li Qingshan will take the fire paper to the mourning hall to salute. According to the etiquette, Liu Yu should have filled the box with paper money to seal the gift, but now that he is pregnant, his sister-in-law Lin will do it for her.

The sons-in-law, grandson-in-law, niece-in-law, nephew-in-law, etc. who have not given out five clothes in the next two days will come to burn paper to worship. On such an occasion, Li Suzhi didn't want to be brought out to gossip, so she took Qiaojieer to the shop early, planning to wait until the day of the burial before returning.

She couldn't control the heat and ingredients for meat dishes, so she stewed a lot of green beans as Cong Chunhua and Liu Yu taught her, and sold them from noon to night, and the business was very good.

Now that she can make money, she is no longer afraid of dragging her natal family down because of the reconciliation and separation, and she feels relieved, and naturally there are more smiles on her face.

The same is true for Sister Qiao. She no longer needs to be counted down or scolded. She wears new clothes and ropes, and she is much more lively than before.

Li Suzhi sat in front of Shuqiu's window, watching her playing with Fang Geer's eldest son, and smiled slowly.

As long as sister Qiao is happy, everything is worth it.

Brother Fang on the other side is not so happy now, he has only known Liu Yu for a long time, and he hasn't really gotten to know him well yet, so Liu Yu doesn't come to the shop now.

Although Liu Yu's mother-in-law said that the family has been busy recently, he wants to take care of the family affairs at home. But I have invited my husband's cousin to help, I am afraid that I will not come to the shop for a long time.

What else could it be because of?

There must be some joy, but it's hard to tell the outside world for the time being!

Brother Fang couldn't be happy when he thought that he might not be able to meet his good friend for more than a year.

But at this moment, Wang Daxiang was eating a big radish deliciously, biting it into a crunchy shape.

Brother Fang glanced at him unhappily, and Wang Daxiang's voice of chewing melons suddenly became much quieter, and he covered his mouth with his hands to eat, trying to minimize his sense of existence.

......

When it comes to the day of mourning, in the morning and afternoon, the filial son holds the spirit plaque and wears a filial hat, and the filial relatives wear sackcloth. They set off from the spirit shed to the ancestral grave on the mountain, crying and praying all the way to the ancestral grave.

Then the next day was the funeral, where people were sent away in a flurry of whistling and beating.

At this time, the guests were all gone, looking at the mess and the white mourning flags that had not yet been torn away, the truly filial sons and daughters couldn't help crying.

...

As the weather gets hotter, more and more green beans can be picked.

According to Li Suzhi's two-day observation, the closer it is to dinner, the better the marinated green beans are sold in the evening.

It can be eaten in the next half month, Li Suzhi and Cong Chunhua together, they might as well sleep in the shop recently.

After a long time of selling, naturally the more they sell, the greater the demand for green beans.

In the past two days, people in the village have seen each other, and the most frequently asked question is when will your green beans be picked.

Li Qingshan's family has a limited amount of green beans to collect every day, so the time must be staggered, so as not to hit the time with others, and they will not be able to sell them at that time.

A few days ago, Mrs. Shun was angry all day long because her arm was pinched by a willow fish.

In the past two days, I have regretted so much that my intestines have turned green. She has offended people, and they are afraid that they will not accept her green beans.

She wanted to come to the door to apologize, but she couldn't get rid of that face.

But her mother-in-law didn't care about her face, saying that if she didn't sell the green beans in the field, she wouldn't have to come into this house again.

Aunt Shun wiped her tears, and sneaked towards Li Qingshan's house all the way avoiding people.

I was lucky that I didn't see anyone else all the way, but I saw so many women and husbands as soon as I entered the courtyard of Li Qingshan's house.

Aunt Shun tugged on her clothes and smiled embarrassingly. Under the eyes of everyone, she was going in or out, which was very embarrassing.

At this moment, a voice sounded like heaven to her, "Madam Shun is here, sit down." "I'm

also here to ask about green beans? Then how many do you plant at home, and when do you plan to pick them?"

...

When Mrs. Shun came out of Li Qingshan's house, her mind was still dizzy, so that's it?

They didn't make things difficult for her, or embarrass her?

Who is this kind-hearted little brother?

Anyway, after this fight, Mrs. Shun couldn't hear anyone saying that willow fish was bad.

After ordering the green beans to be used in the next few days, Liuyu took some of the mustard greens that were pickled in the vat last year and cleaned them, preparing to make some pickles.

Regardless of whether the family conditions are good or not, this pickle will be the family's favorite at any time.

In addition to the shepherd's purse lumps, the willow fish also soaked some dried vegetables, soybeans, and peeled some peanuts in advance, all of which were to be put into the pot together.

It will get hotter and hotter in the future, and I am afraid that it will spoil if left for a long time, so I won't eat so much at a time, it will be enough to eat for ten days.

Heat the oil in a pan, sauté the aniseed ingredients and red pepper until fragrant, add soy sauce to boil, add mustard greens and dried vegetables, mix well, add more water, add a hard firewood and tell it to simmer slowly until the soup is dry Well, no one needs to bother.

With this effort, Liu Yu took out the meat left by Li Qingshan in the morning from the well and cut it up.

When the weather is hot, the meat will spoil if it is left for a long time, and there are fewer people who eat meat. Since yesterday, Li Qingshan only killed one pig a day again, because Liuyu was pregnant, Cong Chunhua wanted Li Qingshan to spend more time with Liuyu, and the cooked and cut shop could be busy with her and Li Suzhi, so she went Don't tell him to stay longer in the shop, every time Li Qingshan sells out the meat, she will kick him out.

Therefore, Li Qingshan is now in time to go home for lunch.

When a person has nothing to do and is in a good mood, he is willing to spend more time on eating, and now that he has a child in his belly, he can't be sloppy about eating.

Liuyu plans to make four dishes, stir-fried pork with green peppers, gourd in vinegar, beans with minced meat, and Li Qingshan's favorite tofu with shallots.

It is sour, spicy and fresh, and it is served with the crispy and crispy dried chilies fried with willow fish, and rolled with a thin bread of sourdough, it can be served with rice.

Every time the willow fish takes a bite, it squints its eyes happily, like a little fox that has finally eaten sweet grapes, "You can buy some sprinkles and bring them back tomorrow. This mixed tofu is really delicious. If you put some sprinkles on the rolls, it will be even better." It's delicious!"

It's just boiled and crushed tofu, seasoned with chopped green onion, salt, sesame oil and a little soy sauce, it's so simple, served with crispy and crispy fried peppers, how can it be so delicious? .

Liuyu can now imagine how delicious it would be if it was rolled with some delicious, crunchy scallions and put into pancakes, mixed with shallots and tofu.

Li Qingshan couldn't help laughing, leaned into his ear, and whispered softly: "Greedy cat."

Liu Yu glared at him angrily, he was already pregnant with a cub, he wanted to eat it and even said he was greedy!

But soon he was relieved, because Li Qingshan immediately put down the cake, went into the kitchen and peeled a small bowl of dried peanuts for him, "Try it, it's also delicious to roll this in."

Willow fish naturally believed him, grabbed a handful and put it in the pancake, and took a bite.

Li Qingshan looked at him expectantly, the moment he said it was delicious, he showed a very satisfied smile.

The eyes are black and bright, very energetic, Liu Yu can't help but also smile.

After eating, the pickled vegetables can also come out of the pot. The crispy mustard lumps turned into black, salty, soft and rotten cooked pickles after cooking. Liu Yu picked up a dried bean and carob and tore it apart from the middle. He and Li Qingshan each tasted half of it, it was very fragrant.

Liu Yu smacked his lips, and immediately said: "Make white porridge to drink at night."

This is what I have been thinking about eating all day long, and I have never seen him like this, it is so cute.

"Yeah." Li Qingshan slightly hugged Liu Yu's waist, touched his belly and said, "It's better to eat fatter." "

Huh!" Liu Yu remembered what happened just now, and exposed him, "Who said just now? Am I a greedy cat?"

"I was just kidding with you." Li Qingshan coaxed him for a while, and then asked Liu Yu if he wanted to go out to eat, "The mulberries at the foot of the mountain should be ripe, I will pick some for you to eat, if you want If you don't like the sun, just wait for me at home."

Liu Yu said to go without thinking, the sun is not poisonous today, and he just ate too much, the most important thing is that he likes to go out with Li Qingshan.

The corners of Li Qingshan's eyes curled up, he listened to Liu Yu's instructions, took out the pickled vegetables from the pot, carefully cleaned the pot and the bowls and chopsticks he had just used, took a bamboo hat for Liu Yu to put on, and led Willow's hand went out.
