Chapter 34
Secondly, the male head of each house is assigned first.
The power of distribution is controlled by Xu Zhang alone.
Xu Zhang said, "How can I still lie to you? Erya and Erlang went together. If you ask them, your sister is more promising than you. You only have a smooth mouth all day long.
I said, give you less food!"
"No, no, no, mother, I believe it, I believe it. Yesterday I tasted the fruit and it tasted okay. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law opened her mouth and ate all the fruit. When I went back, I only ate the last small fruit left, and I felt
It's a little sweet and can be eaten, but I can't taste the other good flavors. I didn't expect it could be sold for money. Mom, let me tell you, this is our blessing, otherwise we would have been to that fruit forest since we were children.
, why didn’t I pick anything delicious? They were just sour, numb, and bitter, which pigs don’t like to eat. When it’s my turn to pick, I can sell them to people for food and money. This is the real skill of Leverage.
, Hey, thank you, mother, thank you, mother. Thanks to my sister, I had a wonderful meal of these dumplings..."
Xu Laosi's unprincipled and unscrupulous flattery made Xu Zhang feel relieved, and she even added a few more dumplings to his bowl.
After Xu Laosi thanked Mrs. Xu Zhang, he also thanked Xu Jiaojiao, who was sitting next to Ms. Zhang, "Old sister, I'm going to eat dumplings first because of you. If I don't go to the fields in the afternoon, I will take a few boys with me.
I'll help you pick as many fruits as you want."
This was such a trick that Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, Fourth Brother, you eat what you have."
The other children followed suit and said, "Auntie, we are all eating dumplings thanks to you. Don't worry, Auntie, after eating the dumplings, we will immediately go into the mountains to help you pick wild fruits. We will carry
We'll carry the big baskets to hold the fruits. Let's carry some big baskets back. I have enough strength..."
Everyone was laughing and joyful, just like celebrating the New Year.
Mrs. Xu Zhang is used to distributing meals, and her hands and feet are very nimble.
After allocating the money to the head of the family, the next few children in the second room were given a bowl each.
Xu Jiaojiao bought two kilograms of meat and three kilograms of flour. The dumplings were big and filled with fillings. There were nearly 180 dumplings.
There are now 14 people in the Xu family, old and young, and each person can get more than 10 on average. However, the head of the family and the head man will definitely allocate a little more.
The remaining daughter-in-law and children can each share an average of five to eight.
Soon, under the eager expectation of everyone, Xu Zhang's distribution was completed.
The children excitedly picked up the bowls in front of them and took the first bite into their mouths!
Suddenly, everyone had the same intoxicated expression, "It's delicious, it's delicious... This is stuffed with leek and pork. I remember eating this stuffing during the Chinese New Year the year before last. It's delicious!"
"Dumplings are the most delicious thing I have ever eaten in my life. Mom, why are there such delicious dumplings in the world!"
"We all owe it to my grandma. Our grandma is lucky. We must listen to her and listen to her in the future, so that we can have delicious food..."
…
Everyone was happy to eat the dumplings. During the dinner, Xu Jiaojiao was praised in various ways.
Thanks to her, I had a meal of pork dumplings that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Also, when Erya talked about Xu Jiaojiao selling fruit at the market, everyone listened with interest and praised Xu Jiaojiao for being smart.
Among the younger ones, Shiro was the smartest, and he kept saying, "I want to learn from my old lady. When I grow up, I want to be as smart as my old lady, and I want to know the truth like my old lady, and be able to fool people..."
As soon as the words "deceive" came out of my mouth, I seemed to feel that something was wrong.
Without waiting to receive Ms. Xu Zhang's gaze, she quickly said, "No, only if you can talk and talk can you sell fruits. Our old lady is educated..."
Mrs. Xu Zhang said proudly, "Your old lady is naturally well-educated. Your uncle is a scholar. Every year when I brought Da Lang and the others back for a short stay, I asked him to teach you old lady how to read and write alone. My old lady is better than you."
culture……"
She had wanted to raise her old daughter as a son since she was a child, so she was exposed to reading and writing.
It's just that when I asked her to learn from it, the old girl didn't seem to be very interested. Unexpectedly, she learned it quietly and showed her extraordinary conversational awareness at the critical moment.
It's not like she wasted all her efforts in vain...
Xu Jiaojiao was stunned, is there such a thing?
She searched her memory carefully and found that it really existed.
Many years ago, Mr. Xu would take his family back to his hometown for two months of summer vacation every year.
He is the only scholar in Xujiacun, and he can also earn income while spending summer vacation.
Just open summer classes, private classes, etc. to recruit children from nearby for enlightenment education.
Families with enough money would send their boys to Mr. Xu's place to study for two months or something. If nothing else, having the reputation of being a scholar was considered a blessing to the country people.
Then, Xu Youde asked the children of the appropriate age at home to listen, such as Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang and so on.
Mrs. Xu Zhang thought that her old daughter was not bad, so she also asked her to follow her for one or two summer vacations.
However, in the memory of the original owner, the original owner only spent three days fishing and two days drying nets while attending classes, and Mr. Xu did not teach for more than a few summer vacations.
After all, there are only a few rich people in the countryside. When the class first started, some people came to learn.
The number of people decreased in the second and third years, and then nothing happened.
After Xu Jiaojiao captured this learned memory, she felt that some things would be easier to handle in the future.
It turns out that she is also a cultured person, and she is not afraid of being suspected when she utters profound and stylish words.
Such a dumpling lunch was finished quickly.
Everyone got off the table and prepared the tools to go into the mountains to pick fruits.
The whole family let Xu Jiaojiao choose. The children in the fourth room were chattering around Xu Jiaojiao, for fear that Xu Jiaojiao would not take them because they were young.
Luo Shi also wanted his sister-in-law to want to go. If she went there, she would eat all the fruits in the mountain.
…
In the kitchen, it was Yuanshi who cleaned up and washed.
Erlang and Erya only moved two or three of their dumpling bowls, leaving the rest for Yuanshi.
Erlang went to Xu Jiaojiao's place to do some work, and only Erya followed Yuanshi quietly into the house.
"Mom, my second brother and I were at the morning market. My grandma gave us big meat dumplings, one for each of us! We stopped eating these dumplings and left them for my mother and fourth brother to eat."
Sanya is also in the kitchen.
She also left a few dumplings. She was slapped today. Mrs. Xu Zhang had seen it. I didn't know if it was for this reason, so she put two more dumplings in her bowl.
