Chapter 5: The Farce of the Old Chu Family(1/2)
No one knows the plans of Chu Mandu and his wife for the time being, but the eldest Chu Mandun is heart-wrenching.
How can you not worry?
Today I should worship... Bah, the one who should look for meat is him and his wife.
Just now, after midday, Chu Mandun put the hoe to his wife and said sneakily: "I'll go to the mountains to see. If the captain wants to ask you, I'll go to the thatched cottage."
The eldest daughter-in-law is also used to it - the old Chu family does not have a hard-working seedling, so it is common for slacking off and being lazy. Otherwise, how can a big man earn seven or eight labor points a day?
There are at least ten or twelve other strong laborers in the village.
Although there is only a difference of four or five labour points, a person earns 15 cents less than others a day, and it is a few dozen yuan a year! The old Chu family and sister-in-law have a total of eleven laborers, and they earn more than 800 yuan a year. Who in the village doesn’t joke?
After all, nowadays, everyone in the village is willing to make efforts. As long as they can make money, who wouldn’t be the one who loses their lives? Just their family, a lazy man who knows about the migrant workers in all villages...
Chu Mandun used the excuse of squatting in the thatched cottage and never returning, but Chu He directed his nephew and nieces to open the old lady's cabinet and bring out a small basket of eggs.
Count it, there are 35!
Think about it, before the old hen in the family was killed, she could lay two eggs a day. Why wouldn’t the lazy guy raise diligent chickens?
Sell it to the supply and marketing cooperative for two cents each. Old Mrs. Chu saved up for a month and sold 40 pieces. The rest of the family would eat an egg every five days. Anyway, Chu He didn't have the share.
Several nephews and nieces came over and stared at the basket of eggs, as if they were looking at the peerless treasure.
...
My eldest nephew is now in this grade, and other children can earn three or five centimeters a day. However, the child is lazy and he is naturally unwilling to work. Now when he sees what he eats, his eyes shine, and wipes his snot with his sleeve:
"My sister-in-law, are we eating eggs?"
Chu He nodded: "Eat. One for each person, and the rest is mine."
Nephews and nieces have no objection.
Following my sister-in-law eating meat yesterday and eggs today, they just need to think about what to eat tomorrow, and life is already beautiful enough.
The second nephew is more considerate: "Aunt, what do you want to eat? Have you cooked it?"
Chu He's throat moved—
"It's so choking to eat all boiled eggs! What else can I do? Think about it?"
The eldest niece whispered: "Aunt, my mother has brown sugar hidden in her house. She secretly ate brown sugar poached eggs when she gave birth to her sister."
This niece is only a few years old this year, she is also thin, black and small, and is completely different from her sturdy appearance. Chu He nodded to her with appreciation:
"Take it out and I'll give you two eggs today."
The eldest niece's eyes lit up and she ran to her mother's room without hesitation.
Don’t say that she will be beaten if she eats it. Anyway, as a girl, she will have to be beaten twice at home if she has nothing to do. After eating this thing, she can eat it, so just beat it.
She hasn't eaten brown sugar yet!
This seemed to inspire everyone, and my nephew's nose was snotted: "Aunt, I, my mother has smearing sperm!"
Chu He nodded in approval: "Take it out, let's drink a bowl each."
The little nephew rode on the threshold and stumbled towards his own house.
...
There were 35 eggs, each nephew and nieces, and the rest was eaten by Chu He.
Boiled eggs, fried chopped eggs, brown sugar poached eggs, tomato eggs soup, and simple egg cakes.
above.
All of them were done by skillful niece.
Chu He only knows how to eat.
In order to reward her niece for her hard work, she left an extra egg for her.
The eldest niece happily ate a poached egg with brown sugar and rinsed the water bowl twice, and then she felt that her life was perfect.
The remaining two were hidden in the cracks next to the pigpen without hesitation - she had planned to be beaten when her mother came back, so she would definitely be beaten first. After the beating and crying, she would eat the egg secretly.
This is also her wisdom to survive in the old Chu family.
As for the other five, there are quite a few eggs, both oil and salt. When cooking, people who cook only want to use a cloth to dip some oil on the pan. How can they smell so good now?
I am satisfied with eating, who cares about how my parents beat me?
I don’t want to be beaten because I can’t eat well and can’t eat enough after being beaten.
It's different now!
Under the sun, everyone sat on the bench together, life was just two words-
satisfy!
...
When the Chu family came back, they saw eggshells all over the floor, the kitchen was half empty, and a few red tomatoes disappeared in the vegetable field. The second sister-in-law "sowed" and found that the bag of brown sugar she had treasured was gone.
The fourth wife cried even more and more—the can of malted milk semen hidden in secret was gone.
After all, Chu He had eaten good food no matter what. She mixed a spoonful of wheat milk essence with a bowl of water. It was really not good enough for her to taste it, so she could just three spoonfuls per person.
The old Chu family has nothing else, but there are many people.
A can has now come to an end. It was poured into water by my little nephew and slurped into my stomach.
Now the jar is clean.
When the third wife saw this tragedy, she thought that the things she had hidden were almost eaten. It would be no good for her sister-in-law. She became more and more determined to marry the starved ghost of the plague god as soon as possible!
Several wives almost made a fuss. Old Mrs. Chu was so angry that she was so angry that she was dead.
Her oil, her salt, her basket of eggs!
——It’s a sin!
This must be a ghost!
It’s not that he is a ghost, who dares to be so rich?! The landlords don’t eat like this!
The old lady was beyond recognition, distorted and ferocious in her face. She rushed forward desperately: "I'll fight with you!"
Unexpectedly, Chu He was in a good mood after eating and drinking. At this moment, Qing Qiaoqiao turned sideways and watched the old lady fall into the mud, and the broken eggshells were mixed with the chicken feathers they had not cleaned up yesterday.
But being in a good mood does not mean not beating people.
When the old lady stood up tremblingly with a "scream" sound, she reached out and grabbed the old man Chu who was silent and had a pale face.
"grandfather!"
Chu He is a hero, and he is so sweet that he calls him. After he finishes calling, he shaves a big ear and slap it on it. The main thing is that she is skillful in using this trick, and the rest of the other ones are too strong to kick the arms and legs.
If this old man is sick, wouldn’t he have to spend money to see a doctor? This will definitely take up the resources of the Chu family.
That won’t work. Now the old Chu family belongs to her.
He slapped the back of the head with a slap.
The old man had never suffered such humiliation in his life. His skin was purple and his ears were buzzing. He saw a dark golden star in front of him. He sat on the ground with a breath.
Chu He withdrew his hand and looked at Old Lady Chu with a smile:
"You're going to fight me?"
"How to fight?"
"Is that hard?"
As he said that, he slapped his ears again and slapped Old Man Chu's head from the other side.
The so-called punching the old man in Nanshan is like this.
...
Not to mention, although she has lost her memory, she is still very accurate in finding problems.
For example, when beating Mrs. Chu, the old lady will be afraid, but she always jumps around like a flea, and feels distressed when she sees something.
But what are the tricks to deal with Mrs. Chu?
The trick is the head of this family.
The old lady will never allow anyone to give her a shameless man.
At this moment, the flag was gone, and tears were everywhere:
"That's your dear grandpa!"
Chu He nodded: "If it weren't for my dear grandpa, I wouldn't have beaten! Hitting the old man would be a bit disproportionate."
After thinking about it, I was quite ashamed: "Well, I really shouldn't have hit the old man. You can pick a son and let me hit him. The father will pay the debts and the son."
He said it very sincerely and tolerantly: "After all, if you provoke me, I will always feel relieved if I get angry."
The old man is the lifeblood, and the son is also the lifeblood!
