Chapter 160
“He is washing clothes at home. He will not come over until he finishes washing the clothes later.”
The corner of Lin Guang’s mouth twitched after hearing this.
Cough.
That man is my brother-in-law and I can barely accept it. Anyway, he won’t wash clothes even if he is beaten to death, unless he goes out without a woman to take care of him.
Lin Shu looked at each of them carrying a bag of dirty clothes and asked, "Are you coming back from the construction site?"
Lin Guang nodded: "Yes, we were in Daquanpo during the last month of the year. The town is doing the finishing work, and after finishing the work, we can take a break this year."
After saying that, the two walked into the hall and were instantly shocked by a piece of pork placed on the table in the hall.
Lin Wei pointed to a piece of pork on the dining table and moved his lips, "Old, youngest, where does this pork come from?"
Their monthly meat stamps issued by the unit are only four Two, two people add up to eight taels, which is not enough to eat at all.
In the two months since Lin Shu and Gu Jiu left, the family has relied entirely on the eggs she left behind and the bacon she brought from her hometown, and they can still eat meat from time to time.
Now that this fan of pork is placed here, it’s strange that it’s not scary.
Lin Guang's eyes widened in shock, "My mother, this is the first time I have seen so much meat at home. When I kill pigs during the Chinese New Year in my hometown, I only keep thirty or forty pounds, and the rest have to be sold. The rural sales department, keep all this meat?”
Lin Shu chuckled: “Now. It was the twelfth lunar month, and many people in the city wanted to pickle bacon. It happened that a friend found a native pig from the countryside, so he and I divided the pig."
Lin Wei reacted and bagged the dirty clothes. Put it aside, "You bought so much meat to prepare bacon?"
"Well, it's not convenient to buy meat in the city. If someone can get pigs at the end of the year, why not buy more pickled bacon."
After Lin Shu finished speaking, he pointed to the sack outside the hall. "There are still thirty large grass carps. Since you are back, cut them open quickly and clean them to be marinated with the pork."
Marinate them for three to five days before smoking them.
“There are more fish?”
Lin Wei’s eyelids twitched, and he strode over to untie the sack. Inside were large grass carp that looked good.
hiss! If all this is smoked into bacon and fish, wouldn’t there be no shortage of meat throughout next year?
When Liu Xiao'e entered the patio through the back door of the canteen in front, she saw Lin Guang sitting in the patio corridor carving up fish.
"Boss, where did you get the fish?"
Before he finished speaking, his eyes noticed Lin Wei decomposing meat in the hall, "Boss, you guys robbed him on the way. Old rich man?"
Lin Shu had just brought out a pot of hot water from the kitchen and couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"My maknae, when did you come back? Oops, why is your belly so big?"
Liu Xiao'e didn't care about meat or fish anymore and walked up to Lin Shu in three steps and two steps. Staring at her belly excitedly, " "Youngest, how many months has it been? If I remember correctly, it should be almost five months, right?"
"Mom, you remember correctly, the doctor said I'm pregnant with twins." Shu just likes to see Liu Xiao'e yelling and screaming.
"Twins?"
"Oh, double yolk eggs, this is good."
Not only Liu Xiao'e was excited, but brothers Lin Wei and Lin Guang were also happy for her. After giving birth to a child, the youngest's position in the Gu family would be stable.
No wonder they have such thoughts, after all, in their eyes, it is Lin Shu, a rural girl, who has taken over the Gu family.
Liu Xiao'e snatched the thermos bottle from Lin Shu's hand and said, "Be careful during pregnancy. Forget about these heavy things. We have so many hands here, why don't we need yours?"
Well, Lin Shu sat down. He didn't dare to say that she got all these things, otherwise Comrade Xiao'e would be excited again. "Mom, those two baskets are full of food. You have time to clean them out."
Liu Xiao'e took a look at the two baskets placed under the corner. They contained either eggs or brown sugar, as well as a lot of fruit.
"When did you come back, and why did you bring so many things here? You are pregnant now. You should keep it for yourself. Why did you bring it here? I have no shortage of food here. ”
“I came back yesterday afternoon. I was too tired from the ride back so I didn’t come over. Mom, put these things away and eat them slowly. I left a portion over there, so don’t worry about it.”
“There are so many eggs. Keep the New Year croquettes?" Liu Xiao'e's eyes lit up as she looked at the two plates of eggs.
Lin Shu stroked his forehead, "Comrade Liu Xiao'e, don't save the eggs. I'll ask your son-in-law to deliver them to you after you finish eating. Isn't there a few kilograms of brown sugar in that basket? You and my dad cook it with brown sugar every morning. Eat eggs. Didn’t you say that your hands and feet are cold in winter, which is good for replenishing qi and blood.”
Liu Xiao'e took out the eggs, checked the things underneath, and rolled her eyes at Lin Shu's words: "My youngest, you have forgotten your roots when you got married in the city. It is the tradition of our old Lin family to live frugally and run the household diligently and frugally. "
Lin Shu gave her a look in return, your firm Taoist heart is just waiting for me to slowly decay it.
"Mom, how do you arrange this meat? The youngest said it would be used to marinate bacon, do you think it would be okay to cut it into such a big piece?" Lin Wei quickly interrupted because he was afraid that Liu Xiao'e's scolding would offend Lin Shu.
Liu Xiao'e's attention returned to the pork at this time, "Just cut it into a big one. You can save the two pork legs and stew one at night to replenish your sister's health.
The other one is hanging outside and will be stewed the day after tomorrow. You can also take out some ribs and I will cook them for lunch.”
Lin Guang heard that his mother had arranged it and asked: "Mom, do you want to chop one piece of this fish and cook it for lunch? Brother Jiu is coming over for lunch."
Liu Xiao'e: "One fish is not enough, chop it into two There are a few helpers in the shop. I am a poor man, but the young man has a big appetite. How can one fish be enough for so many people?"
Lin Shu sat by the stove, warming himself and watching. Arranged by Liu Xiao'e.
Tsk, just now I thought she was a prodigal, but now she is so arrogant when she arranges it.
When Gu Jiu came over, he saw his mother-in-law and two uncles busy when he entered the house. When he saw the meat and fish in the big basin, he raised an eyebrow at Lin Shu.
"Mom, eldest brother, second brother."
"Brother Ninth is here, come in and sit down to warm yourself by the fire. Will you come here on a bicycle to get cold?" Liu Xiao'e hurriedly greeted her son-in-law and poured him hot tea.
“I haven’t had time to ask, will you go back to the provincial capital for the Chinese New Year?”
Gu Jiu blew the cold wind all the way, took a sip of hot tea, and replied: “Mom, we Just celebrate the New Year in the county seat and wait for it Return to the provincial capital after the New Year. "
"It's good to celebrate the New Year in the county. When I finish smoking these bacon and fish, you can bring some to your relatives after the New Year." Liu Xiao'e looked at the basin full of meat and fish. Fish narrowed his eyes with a smile.
Gu Jiu: "No, my mother and the others will prepare it for the Chinese New Year. We will keep these meat and fish for the family to eat."
Liu Xiao'e did not argue with him and waited until the bacon and fish were smoked and packed into their luggage. , does this kid still dare to pour it out?
Then she asked about their situation in the provincial capital and the situation of her in-laws, and was relieved to learn that everything was fine.
Lin Shu grabbed the flesh on the back of his hand under the table and winked at him.
Hiss!
Gu Jiu kept a smile on his face and turned back to glare at her, "Okay, why are you grabbing him?"
Lin Shu kept a smile on his face. He had already talked about the New Year and signaled him to persuade Comrade Liu Xiao'e to let them celebrate the New Year in the county seat.
It seemed that Gu Jiu didn't understand what she meant. Perhaps he was pretending to be stupid and kept chatting with Liu Xiao'e about his family's shortcomings.
"Young maknae, your face is cramped?"
Liu Xiao'e looked at Lin Shu winking at Gu Jiu with a strange expression. If she had anything to say, she could just say it to her face. Why did she do this?
Couldn't she, the mother, listen?
"Pfft!"
"Hahaha"
