Who doesn't get jealous after seeing this? This is the advantage of eating public food. Anyway, these people have been bringing large and small bags of things to their homes for several days. Just ask the little old lady to eat these things, and she won't be able to finish them.

.

Just the tofu, the little old lady has done a lot of drying. Those big production teams have their own tofu factories. Giving three to five kilograms of tofu when you come back is not really a big gift. But in a family of two, this thing

So I saved it. Cut the tofu into slices, steam it in a pot, expose it in the sun, wait for it to dry, then steam it, and then dry it again. After doing it several times, the tofu will be very strong. It will be used during the Chinese New Year.

It's not bad, cut into thin strips or slices, and it's delicious when served cold.

When it comes to dried tofu, Lin Yutong prefers this one.

The little old lady said that her granddaughter is from a wealthy and noble family. For such dried tofu, only half a catty of dried tofu can be obtained from a pound of dried tofu. What kind of family is this?

Lin Yutong chuckled and chopped the green pepper into fine pieces while talking to the old lady, "...My grandma hasn't been here for the past two days?"

The little old lady said to her: "Isn't it Sunday? Come with me."

Before she could say anything, there were footsteps at the door, and the Fourth Master was here.

After taking a long shower, the fourth master came over. Lin Yutong quickly sprinkled the chopped green pepper on the noodles, and quickly added the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

The little old lady curled her lips, now that she is making money, she has something to spend money on. She is so good to the four boys of the Jin family that it makes people blush. She is an old woman who has to serve them with such white rice and noodles every night.

No such treatment.

The fourth master called people obediently, and said very considerately: "...If tomorrow is free, we will build a firewood shed in the backyard. When the straw comes down, we have to bring two carts back..." One is for starting fire, and the other is for winter.

The kang should be put to good use.

The little old lady's expression suddenly softened, and although she still said "um" from her throat, her attitude was different after all.

It is very difficult to survive the winter these days, especially for those with children and elderly people at home. Don’t think about the stove, but the kang must be burned, otherwise you will really freeze to death.

Fourth Master had a bowl of noodles mixed with cold dried tofu and it was quite delicious. "I'll come over later and make a stove next to the kang. Just make it out of clay. After a while, I'll find a way to pull two carts of rotten wood from Nanshan...

…”

Nanshan is full of valleys, and all over the mountains and plains are half-thick crooked-necked trees. They cannot grow into timber and are of no use if they are cut down. Someone will bring them over to exchange for things. Sometimes a bag of wheat bran can be exchanged for half of it.

car.

This is what Fourth Master said.

Lin Yutong agreed, no matter what, he had to make sure the little old lady had a comfortable winter.

While the two were talking, they heard a noise outside. In the commotion, they didn't hear anything, but Su Xiaoqin hurried in without seeing the fourth master. After entering the door, she shouted: "Tong... hurry up."

, Lao Jin’s family is in trouble again..."

Lin Yutong poked his head out from the kitchen and saw that Su Xiaoqin's collar was still stuffed inside, and she was obviously washing her face with a wet towel in her hand. A big girl just ran out of the house to watch the fun.

She pointed to the exposed part of her chest. Su Xiaoqin quickly turned the collar of her clothes out and buttoned it up again. While wiping her face, she glanced at the fourth master who was eating in an orderly manner and whispered: "...I don't know...

Just screamed for help..."

I don't know what you are fooling around about.

The little old lady then urged, "You two, hurry over and see what's going on?"

The fourth master was a little embarrassed because things happened one after another at home.

As a result, Lin Yutong followed him and found out that it was Jin Mancheng, the boss of the Jin family. He passed away while eating for some reason.

I heard Aunt Jin shouting loudly: "...Second brother...hurry up and take the paper man to the entrance of the alley and burn it..."

Lin Yutong and Fourth Master squeezed in, and saw Aunt Jin surrounding Boss Jin, pinching her and rubbing her chest. Her heart skipped a beat, and Fourth Master grabbed her hand, patted it and then put it down.

In this way, Lin Yutong was speechless.

Jin Mancheng's illness was really not fake. He lost consciousness and had convulsions. This was epilepsy, also known as lamb's madness. If the symptoms were not obvious, there would be no signs of foaming at the mouth, and he would pass by just by looking at it.

There are many reasons for fainting, especially Jin Mancheng's fainting.

We all know that we are weak. What else can we say to the outside world? We have a strong temperament, and we dare not get angry. Once we get angry, we will pass away. Even if the seizure passes away without any warning, it is also classified as weak in the Bazi, which will lead to trouble.

Something unclean.

Judging from the fourth master's appearance, the family is actually quite aware of Boss Jin's illness. When we talk about the marriage, if there are rumors that he has this kind of illness, I'm afraid it will be even harder to talk about the marriage.

Across the door lived the peach blossom girl who enthusiastically cut out a bunch of paper figures. Jin Manchuan took it and walked out of the alley to the outside of the city. He had to end the road that Jin Mancheng took home, and then turn back. No luck.

When you reach an intersection, you will burn a paper figurine, and then shout: "Brother! Go home!"

When people come back soon, things will be better in Jinmancheng.

Aunt Jin couldn't help but chant and beat her up, "...Who doesn't want to stay in the underworld and come out to torture people..."

The old man who was convinced of this said: "Chengzi should find a powerful wife to take care of her..."

Aunt Jin nodded repeatedly, "It's not that the girl from the Li family has really good horoscopes, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to such a large amount of gift money..."

Whether it's true or not, just let this matter pass by.

Whether others believe it or not, Lin Yutong doesn't believe it anyway. She doesn't believe it, but she can't help the little old lady to believe it. If I go to Jin's house, I won't rush around. I got a brazier at the door and insists on asking Lin Yutong to get out of the brazier.

Only by breaking down can you feel at ease.

I originally planned to go to my grandma's place, but it turned out that the Jin family was probably afraid that others would know the true situation of Jin Mancheng and cause other troubles, so they unexpectedly accelerated the marriage with the Li family.

With the help of a matchmaker, three hundred yuan, a bicycle, and a total of four clothes in spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the matter was settled.

Aunt Jin held her breath in her heart, these four clothes were extra extra.

I counted and counted the clothing materials I had saved over the years in the cupboard, but it was never enough.

Aunt Jin was sitting on the kang, crying and cursing at the same time. She was all scolding the Li family. Sometimes the clothes she wanted were not necessarily for the wife to wear. Anyway, she had to give her four pieces of material, and it didn’t matter who she would wear them for.

Everyone in the family, big or small, is almost naked. As a result, if someone opens his mouth casually, he will have to dig out the family's bottom line.

Who would have thought that the matchmaker would come again the next morning, this time talking about the wedding banquet. How many dishes would the daughter-in-law’s family want, how many hot, how cold, how meaty, how vegetarian, how many tables, how many people, how many people would she bring?

Children, how big a red envelope should be given to these children, and how much red envelope should be given to the uncle and aunt of the bride who is holding the sedan chair. Everything is listed clearly.

Aunt Jin's hands were shaking. The extra one hundred and thirty-two yuan was the money to pay for the weddings of her four sons. If the Li family continued like this, even this daughter-in-law wouldn't be able to get the money.

The fourth master glanced at the door. Jin Mancheng was still doing the same thing, squatting there without saying a word, holding his head in his hands, as if he was depressed and helpless. In fact, he didn't put the burden of the family on his shoulders at all.

.Didn’t you see that the second child’s back collapsed in an instant?

The third child took the straw and picked out the wild vegetables from between his teeth, and said: "Why don't we just settle it together. Our family is in such a situation that we can't afford a second wedding banquet."

Anyway, there are only so many relatives and a few more relatives of the new daughter-in-law, and at most a few more people can be added. For a wedding banquet, if you add some water, you will get an extra bowl of soup. You can just eat it in a daze.

Lao Li's family is not happy? If he is not happy, can he carry his girl back again? Anyway, we have entered the door, and we will talk about the rest later.

To hold a wedding, we need to charge a wedding fee, but we have to do it first.

Although the share of money is reduced, the major family issues can be solved at once. There is only Xiaowu left, and it won’t be too late to talk about this matter in five or six years. What’s the hurry?

Aunt Jin burped loudly and stopped crying. She looked at her sons with red and swollen eyes, "Is that okay?"

The third child sat up and said, "You have to do it even if it doesn't work." What else?

Aunt Jin stood up, opened the cabinet, took out the one hundred and thirty-two, gave twenty yuan each to the second, third, and fourth, and wrapped the remaining seventy-two and locked them.

"That's all the money, there's nothing extra." Aunt Jin sniffed, whether she could coax her daughter-in-law back or not depends on each person's ability.

Lin Yutong looked at the twenty yuan handed over by the Fourth Master and even turned green, "This aunt is very interesting. Is there anyone who does this?"

The Fourth Master was also a little bit dumbfounded. As long as she and Tongtong were alone, it would be easy to say anything, regardless of the issue of shame. This involved the little old lady.

This is what the fourth master said to the little old lady, "... taking care of yourself in old age is between Tong and I. This is what I promised you before we got married. When you are a hundred years old, it will be my business to support you.

…”

The little old lady may not put it in the letter whether she can support him or not. But the sentence "pull the flag to hold the basin" completely moved the old lady.

For people of her age, if there is any obsession, it must be something behind her.

No one supported me with banners, saying that I would be bullied by the little devils when I got there.

Therefore, she has no son or grandson, but someone did this for her, and the little old lady was moved.

After asking the matchmaker Aunt Meng to prove it, the matter was settled. For twenty yuan and the fourth master's promise, this daughter-in-law could get in.

As for Kangping Village, Jin Manchuan also told Granny Cai, "...you are a tough old man. When we separate in the future, Yingzi and I will take you over to my aunt's house and support you until you die. If you have a child in the future,

I ask my children to burn paper graves for my uncle during festivals, and if I don’t call them, I won’t be able to eat a bowl of food..."

Granny Cai burst into tears. She didn't say how satisfied she was, but she didn't say she wouldn't agree either.

Just like that, the marriage was agreed to in such a vague way.

There is no money in hand, so all I can give is a promise.

Apart from this, they can't bring anything else to the table.

The third child's side is even simpler. The He family is from the neighborhood and they all know everything about it. This girl's father died two years ago, leaving behind three children. The eldest is only eighteen years old, and the youngest is

He is a son, only ten years old. In the past two years, the third child has been talking to the girl from the He family. No matter how he got the money, he was willing to use it to support his future brother-in-law to study. He has short hands, and plus

The child's mother was a kind person, so she gave her twenty yuan and told her the problem. She didn't say anything, and the matter was settled.

What are the things in the picture? Firstly, they are close and can help with heavy work at home. Secondly, they are willing to take care of the younger siblings here. Although there is no big money to take over, but today it will be thirty cents and tomorrow it will be fifty cents. At least, these days are good.
