Chapter 31 So poor?


Chapter 31 So poor?

Making meat sauce is time-consuming and laborious.

Yu Tingwan was watching from the side. After seeing that Huiniang had prepared everything properly, she picked up the wooden stool, sat down on the stove, and lit the fire.

After the oil is hot in the pan, there will be a stinging sound. Hui Niang first fried the shrimps in oil, then poured in the shrimp meat and fried them until they were crispy.

Take it out and cut it into dices of the same size, and then process the gallinome.

The meat hasn't been processed yet, and the delicious aroma is already wafting in the air.

Yu Tingwan was very serious about her work. Hui Niang asked her to add more firewood, so she added more firewood. When asked to reduce the fire, she used the long-nosed iron scissors on the side to pick out a few sticks of firewood.

The firelight reflected on the mole at the end of her eye, making the little girl's eyebrows even more gloomy.

Hui Niang stirred the pot and spatula and talked to her.

“Wan Niang, how old are you now?”

"You'll be eighteen after the New Year."

"Hey, at this age it's time to see your husband's family."

Yu Tingwan agreed with this sentence.

She nodded heavily.

Huiniang asked casually, and soon started talking to Yu Tingwan about something else.

"I learned this meat sauce from my mother before I got married. It's a pity that she left early, and I only learned a little bit about her good craftsmanship."

Now that it's like this, is it still just the beginning?

When Yu Tingwan heard this, he couldn't help but feel sad.

She whispered: "My mother left early."

"She could embroider and sing, and I also learned it."

Yu Tingwan rarely talked about this with others. People in the village didn't like to mention her mother-in-law, and even if they did, they wouldn't say good things about her.

But she always felt that Huiniang was different from others.

She stared at Huiniang closely, holding the hem of her clothes inadvertently.

Hui Niang's hand stopped for a moment, her tone was surprised, and she looked at her with a smile: "Wan Niang can also embroider. Not many of us country people know how to embroider, and we can only do some ordinary sewing. You With this skill, you won’t have to worry about anything in the future.”

Yu Tingwan’s eyes lit up.

Huiniang: "You can get some money by embroidering some handkerchiefs and using them to embroider houses. When you get married in the future, your husband's family will think highly of you."

Yu Tingwan: "Then my skills are not good enough. ”

“Don’t be humble. ”

Yu Tingwan is really immodest.

“I don’t have the patience, and my mother is so distressed that she doesn’t want to teach me.”

Why don't you feel bad?

The little girl was squeamish by nature and had not endured much hardship since she was a child. She tried her best to stand on tiptoes and raised her hands under her eyes, fearing that she would not see the fingertips that were pricked and bleeding by the needle.

And he spoke shamelessly.

【Auntie, do you want to stew a chicken to replenish Yaoyao today? 】

Unfortunately, she is no longer a childish little girl, and no one is willing to indulge her.

"But I can sing."

Yu Tingwan's tone was calm, but if you listen carefully, there was a hint of well-hidden pride: "Every time I want to sing, my father will immediately pay me and praise me You have a good voice, please stop singing.”

Wei Zhao:...

Can’t you hear the irony?

The aroma of meat sauce filled the room, and Huiniang was so hot that she started to sweat.

Yu Tingwan went to wash his hands and helped put them into the earthen jars.

Wei Shouzhong came back at this time. A lot of snow fell on my body, enveloping me with a layer of cold air.

He shook himself outside before coming in.

“Alang.”

He called out first.

No response.

Wei Shouzhong is used to it.

Huiniang asked: "Have the arrangements been made for those foreigners?"

Wei Shouzhong stepped forward quickly: "I was just about to tell you about this."
< br>"Li Zheng originally wanted to place three people in our house, five people in Dr. Qian's place, and the rest in the silly aunt's house."

But can old man Qian agree?

He fell out on the spot and said he was not short of money! There was a good atmosphere.

["Just help me. It's so cold outside, I advise you to save lives and heal the wounded."]

Old man Qian was also stubborn and just said it.

["That's easy to say. When they are about to freeze to death, you come back to me and I will see if I can save them."]

Now he is very confident.

【"The boy from the Wei family was saved by me. Without me, he would have died long ago. It shows that I have this ability."]

In Wei Shouzhong's heart Preoccupied with things, absent-minded: "In the end, I didn't As for the solution, Li Zheng had to find someone else, but the arrangements were well made."

As he said that, he glanced at Wei Zhao who was in a daze not far away, with an unknown emotion flashing in his eyes. Yu Tingwan hesitated for a moment and walked out.

"Hui Niang, come out with me."

Hearing this tone, Hui Niang was suspicious.

She asked Wei Shouzhong to wait, and after working together with Yu Tingwan to pack the meat sauce, she wiped her hands.

The two walked out one after the other.

After leaving the room, Wei Shouzhong called Hui Niang to the corner. He said in a low voice without saying any nonsense.

"One of these foreigners has a nanny, and he has five girls with him. They all bought them from the north and plan to sell them to the south."

In this world, poor people are everywhere, and selling girls for money is the most common thing. thing.

“Before we came to Linxi Village, the bandits targeted this group of people, and all the money from Yapo’s body was robbed. Those girls also suffered a lot of crimes along the way. They were all extremely thin and even died of illness. After buying a few, she thought about selling them as soon as possible."

When she heard this, Huiniang stopped breathing.

She understood what Wei Shouzhong meant and grabbed his arm: "How much money?"

Wei Shouzhong: "One or two."

Hui Niang's eyes darkened.

The total of what the family has saved over the years, plus what the big house got that year, is only five taels, and I will have to go to the county town to see a doctor in the future.

Huiniang was very confused: "Let me think about it."

The two were talking outside, and Yu Tingwan walked up to Wei Zhao in the kitchen house.

A shadow fell above his head, and Wei Zhao did not react.

Yu Tingwan couldn't help but ask: "Why are there stones and tiles in the basket?"

She still couldn't figure it out!

Seeing that Wei Zhao did not respond. Yu Tingwan pursed her lips and said tentatively: "You have been in the military camp for so many years and you are very skilled."

Wei Zhao didn't even look at her.

Yu Tingwan discussed with him angrily: "Next time when you throw it, can you throw it to the right?

Every time it hits the same place, it hurts like this, but it can still be like this. It shows that it is accurate. Not bad. It’s just that the location is better than the surrounding area. The ground is much deeper, as long as an arm.

Every time Yu Tingwan has to dig in the snow for a long time, she is also very tired. Wei Zhao didn't want to pay attention to her.

Yu Tingwan: "Keep the medicine for yourself, I don't need it."

Seeing that Wei Zhao showed no signs of anger, Yu Tingwan turned around and threw away what Old Qian had said before.

She even made another request.

“Can the throwing time be fixed?”

She wanted to eat hot eggs.

Wei Zhao slowly raised his eyes, without any emotion in his eyes.

He always seemed to have a strong aura, as if he was born with it. He is so sick that others feel he does not pose a threat.

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips: "Those are all things you are willing to throw away. I didn't steal or rob you. Even though I picked them up and ate them, I won't pay you."
< br>"Even if you want it, I don't have it."

"But when I have money in the future, I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Wei Zhao finally spoke.

It just doesn’t sound pleasant to the ears, even harsh to Yu Tingwan.

His voice is light.

"So poor?"
