Chapter 74 Who Farms the Land

At this time, Bai Dazhu's shout came from the room: "Is the meal ready? I'm starving to death."

Liu hurriedly went to the kitchen to take a look. There was a cold pot and a cold stove in the kitchen, and there was no sign of the food, so he went back to the main room and said to the old lady Bai: "Mother, you have to take good care of your sister-in-law, what is this? It's time, why haven't you cooked yet?"

The old lady Bai said, "She brought Pearl back to her parents' house. You can make lunch."

When Liu Shi heard this, she immediately became unhappy: "Why did I do it again? I did it yesterday, so it's supposed to be my sister-in-law's turn today, but she would be lazy, and why didn't she leave yesterday? ?"

The old lady Bai put the silver in her arms, and still had a smile on her face: "Let's go, just to save a few rations, you hurry up to cook, didn't you hear your man calling you hungry? Xiaofeng should come back later. Now, remember to cook an egg for Xiaofeng."

Seeing that the old lady was always keeping Xiaofeng in mind, Mrs Liu felt better, "Okay, I'll cook now, but there are no eggs left. That old hen in our family hasn't laid eggs for several days."

She opened the door and saw that there was no one in the yard, she said again: "Baizhi, this dead girl has not come back, I am afraid there is no food to eat at noon."

Looking at the bulging clothes on the old lady's chest, Mrs Liu suddenly smiled and said, "Mother, Li Sijia killed a pig yesterday and sent it to the town to sell it today. There must be a lot left, why don't we go and cut it? Order some meat to open up the meat?"

If she usually said this, the old lady Bai would not agree to be killed, but today is different. Today, Liu Shi brought back 10 taels of silver, and there are 12 taels of silver waiting for her, and she was overjoyed. , thinking of the fact that the family has not been contaminated with meat and fish for a long time, and Zhang Shi and Zhuzhu are not there, they can eat two pounds of pork belly, and their family can eat enough.

Thinking of this, she turned around and entered the room, locked the ten taels of silver in her arms into the money box, took out a string of copper coins from the money box and counted them, and then took out the door and handed it to Liu: "This is fifty coins, Take it and buy two catties of pork, and if you have any left, buy a few eggs and go."

Liu Shi's music was broken, so she hurriedly took the fifty pennies and swallowed hard, as if the braised pork was ready and placed in front of her.

Bai Erzhu came in from outside, just when he saw this scene, he couldn't stop laughing: "Mother, the sun didn't come out from the west today, right? Why are you willing to buy us meat to eat?"

The old lady Bai glanced at him, and said angrily, "It's as if I've never bought meat for you before." She looked Bai Erzhu up and down, and saw that his clothes were clean, and he didn't see any sweat or muddy water. , the shoes under the feet are also clean as if they have never been out of the house.

The old lady Bai's face sank immediately, and she was very unhappy: "You didn't go to the fields?"

Bai Erzhu's face was taken for granted: "How can I go to the fields alone? I don't even have a helper."

The old lady Bai was so angry that she wanted to beat the guy up, but after all, she was her own son, so why would she really want to beat him, "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Why can't you go to the fields alone? What help do you need? When she was injured, she went to the fields alone, and no one helped her!"

Bai Erzhu raised his neck and said: "Zhao Lan is Zhao Lan, I am me, why do you always compare me to Zhao Lan, besides, I have to blame you for this matter, if you didn't hurt Zhao Lan, I'm afraid she has already done the work in the field, so why don't we need to worry about it?"
