Chapter 31

The Zhou family hasn't had evening food yet, but the food is ready. Obviously, they are waiting for them. As soon as they arrive at the entrance of the village, the big head rushed up with his younger brother and sister.

No matter the cart was walking, they climbed up with all their hands and feet. When Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang saw it, their eyes laughed into a crack. While scolding them, they took time to stretch out a hand to pile the children on the cart.

From a distance, Lao Zhou knew that the trip was going well when he saw the smiles on their faces. He turned back and went back to the house.

Little Qian led his two sisters in law to take the table in the main room to the yard. It was a little dark in the house. It was too wasteful to light an oil lamp. Anyway, there was light outside. Eat well outside.

On Friday and Saturday, one rushed home with the money in the cloth bag and the other with the big cock in the basket.

Before entering the door, he shouted, "sister-in-law, sister-in-law, stewed chicken tonight."

Little Qian didn't lift his head and said, "it's so beautiful that you have to eat chicken when you go to the city. All the chickens at home have to lay eggs."

Zhou LIULANG had rushed to him, turned his back to let her see the basket behind him, and said loudly, "don't have the chicken at home, take this one."

Little Qian saw the miserable chicken and exclaimed, "where did you get the chicken? Steal, steal? "

Qian's eyes widened. Did the remaining two learn to steal chickens after Shiro learned to gamble?

Will you touch the dog next time?

Little Qian couldn't help pinching his waist, but Zhou LIULANG was unhappy. He turned and said, "sister-in-law, am I such a person? The chicken was given by someone else. "

Little Qian was relieved and took the miserable Rooster out of the basket. After weighing it, she found it was very heavy. She couldn't help asking, "who is so careless? Although the chicken looks a little miserable, it's also meat. It's so fat. It's given to you."

Zhou LIULANG laughed, "I also think he is very short-sighted, but some people say we have suffered a loss. Anyway, it's a long story. Sister-in-law, I'd better kill the chicken and stew it first. Man Bao specially took it back for his mother's body."

Little Qian looked at the hour and said, "forget it tonight and save it until tomorrow."

She carefully looked at the cock in her hand and couldn't help muttering, "in fact, raising may still work..."

Friday Lang and Zhou LIULANG stared. They seemed to see that the chicken was leaving them. The brothers didn't want to think about it. They turned around and shouted to man Bao who had just entered the yard: "man Bao, sister-in-law wants to raise the big cock and sell it. Please persuade her."

Little Qian stared at the brothers.

Man Bao couldn't stop the scooter. Gulu slipped down from the scooter, and then ran to Xiao Qian and shook her arm. "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, kill * * quickly. This is a chicken to replenish my mother's body. The cock replenishes Qi and blood. Maybe it'll be good for my mother to eat."

Qian also walked out of the door slowly and said with a smile, "man Bao, don't make trouble with your sister-in-law. It's late and you have to kill tomorrow."

"No, you see, there's still light. We'll make a fire to eat at night. It's not too late."

The children also looked at it eagerly. Lao Zhou said, "well, since it's the filial piety of several children, do it tonight. Anyway, it's done early and late. I don't think the chicken has any spirit. It may die tomorrow."

Man Bao nodded again and again, "dead chicken is not delicious."

Xiao Qian took the chicken to kill. Feng and when hurriedly went to help, one boiled the hot water on the stove and the other prepared the material for stewing the chicken.

Now there is no good food to match it at home, but you can pull out two big turnips, cut them and stew them together.

The three sisters in law were busy in the kitchen, while Zhou Dalang reported today's affairs to Lao Zhou in the yard.

How much grain was sold and how much medicine was bought, the rest was handed over to Lao Zhoutou, who then handed over to Qian.

The money in the family has always been managed by Qian.

The Zhou family has not many fields, and there are some left when they are in good years. Fortunately, their family has a lot of labor. Besides farming, they can also take some odd jobs, and only those who are scattered can save some money.

Qian's family can save so much money, of which Qian's credit is a lot, because she mediates everything at home. She arranges who does what and how. Even Lao Zhou will listen to her.

Qian took the money, counted it, and wrote it down in her heart. Turning around, she found that man Bao was in a group with the children. She didn't know what she was talking about. She couldn't help smiling and asked Zhou Dalang, "didn't man Bao cause you any trouble today?"

Zhou Dalang glanced at man Bao, who was pouting his small ass and facing them with his back. He didn't know what he was muttering with the children. Everyone was shouting. He hesitated and said, "Dad, mom, man Bao also made a lot of money in the county today."

Old Zhou tou gave a cry and said with a smile, "the flower basket full of treasure has been sold?"

Zhou Dalang said, "more than that, she also passed a big cock and earned three coins as soon as she changed hands."

As soon as Lao Zhou and Qian stayed, he quickly called man Bao to inquire.

Man Bao happens to be bragging with his nephews and nieces. When his parents ask, his small chest is much higher. He proudly tells them what they did in the county today.

She grew up listening to stories. Her parents told her stories, her brother and sister-in-law told her stories, Mr. Zhuang told her stories, and Keke often told her stories. In addition, recently, she also contacted the story book and had touched the edge of telling stories, so she danced and described it in place, and everyone listened with interest.

Especially the big head and others who have not been to the county. Although they have not been to the county, they think they have been to it when they imagine it in their mind.

Man Bao said his mouth was dry, and Qian silently poured her a bowl of water.

Man Bao drank and said with bright eyes, "Mom, you don't know, there are many people in the county and city. Shall I take you next time?"

Qian smiled, "what am I doing in the county? Just go. "

Zhou Dalang's eyes slid from manbao's small cloth bag to the cloth bag held by Lang on Friday and said, "Mom, you can't give so much money to the children. What if it falls?"

Qian also said to man Bao, "man Bao, give your money to your mother. Will your mother keep it for you?"

Man Bao shook his head. "I want to manage myself. I'm an adult."

Qian smiled, touched her head and said, "you are also a member of our family. Do you know the rules of the family?"

Man Bao shakes his head.

Qian said, "if your brother and sister-in-law earn money outside, they have to pay 60% to the public. If you want to take the money yourself, you have to pay 60%

Since it was the rule, man Bao didn't refuse. She thought, "OK, but I have to count the total."
