Chapter 27

Ling Muer was talking about the stoves used by the rich. How can that kind of stove be bought for a few pennies? The cheapest one costs ten taels of silver.

Still, that thing is really handy. At Tang's age, if there is such a thing, the whole winter will be much more comfortable.

Ling Mu'er felt uncomfortable when she thought that Tang was still suffering at such an age, sitting in a gorgeous house with a lady of her age, enjoying the service of servants and the kneeling of her descendants. She has to work hard to earn money so that her family can live a good life. Not only let Mrs. Yang enjoy life, but also let this old woman who has never enjoyed happiness live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

"Grandma, the food is ready." Ling Muer boiled a pot of fish soup and cooked a large pot of pickled fish. Although the amount of sauerkraut is less, it is already a delicacy in the world for Tang who has not eaten good food for several years. Her saliva kept dripping from her mouth, and her face was full of longing.

In addition to soup and pickled fish, there are some sorghum cakes. The sorghum belongs to the Yang family, and there are not many left. Ling Muer made a portion for two.

Ling Muer supported Tang Shi to sit down, and placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of her. She picked out some fish fillets first, and picked out the fishbone inside.

In order to remove those fish bones, Ling Muer sliced ​​the fish very carefully, and now there are not many fish bones left. But it's always right to be careful, it's best for her to help Tang Corps check again.

Yang Daniu is also very filial. However, no matter how filial a son is, he cannot be as careful as a girl. Feeling Ling Muer's meticulous care, Tang's heart felt warm.

"Girl, what you said today is to catch fish?" Tang said while eating, "The river is dangerous, how can you go to the river as a girl? And this fish... used to eat a lot of fish." It smells fishy, ​​how can it be so delicious when it is made from your hands?"

"Of course it's delicious." Ling Muer smiled and said, "Because there is Muer's filial piety to her grandmother."

"Haha... What a good girl. By the way, are you going to catch fish and sell it?" Tang asked.

"No. I want to make a kind of sauce, and I need fish." Ling Muer said shyly, "By the way, grandma, don't you need that jar of pickle water? If you don't use it now, I want to borrow it first. When it’s time to make tea, I’ll make another pot for you.”

"Should I borrow it or not? Use it if you want." Tang agreed without hesitation. "However, can you move it? I'll ask your uncle to send it back to you?"

"Grandmother, uncle wants to stay and take care of you. I can take it home with me." Ling Mu'er refused, "When the time is over, we will pick you up and stay at home for a few days. You know that August is easy to be shy, even if I want to take him out for a walk, but he doesn't want to come out either. I just ask my grandmother to come and let him talk to you."

"That child in August... is a good boy. Be patient." Tang sighed softly, "It will get better in the future."

"Yes." Ling Muer waited on Tang and ate two sorghum cakes, drank a bowl of fish soup, and ate a lot of fish.

Tang still wanted to eat again, but Ling Muer quickly stopped her. Facing Tang's old face, she felt as if she had done something bad. But even if she was misunderstood, she had to stop her.

"Grandma, you haven't eaten so much for a long time, it will be uncomfortable if you suddenly eat so much. You should digest first, and then eat at night." Ling Muer rubbed Tang's belly.

Tang took Ling Mu'er's palm, patted her gently, and said, "Grandmother knows. It's because you are so good at cooking that you couldn't control it for a while. Eat quickly!"

Ling Muer sat by Tang's side, talking to Tang while eating. They were talking about little things around them, and it wasn't important to listen carefully, but they talked about it for a long time. The smile on Tang's face never sank. She is also more energetic, radiant, and looks much better than when I saw her in the morning.

"Mother..." Yang Daniu came back from outside. "Are you starving? I brought you meat back."

"Grandma." Yang Xiaohu ran in with a bowl at an extremely fast speed. He said as he ran, "Hurry up and eat meat. If you don't eat it, it will be cold."

When Yang Xiaohu saw Ling Muer sitting there, a light flashed in his eyes. She rushed over happily, hugged Ling Muer and said, "Cousin, you are here!"

Ling Muer looked at him with a smile, touched his head and said, "What's so happy about it?"

"My cousin came to my house, of course I'm happy. By the way, you didn't eat, right? This is the meat I brought back." After Yang Xiaohu finished speaking, he said annoyedly: "I knew I would grab a few corn buns back. They are too powerful , I can't snatch them at all. I managed to snatch this little meat back."

Ling Muer looked at the two pieces of meat in Yang Xiaohu's broken bowl. These two pieces of meat were probably saved by Yang Xiaohu and Yang Daniu. The two of them didn't eat and sent it back to Tang Corps.

Tang couldn't see Yang Xiaohu, but he could hear his voice. What Ling Mu'er can understand, Tang can also understand. She touched the moved tears quietly.

Although the older sisters in the village are in good health, they not only have to help their sons and daughters-in-law with farm work, they are often accused and scolded by their daughters-in-law for being old and immortal. Her eyes can't see, her ears can't hear, but she has a group of good children.

"Mu'er, haven't you eaten? Uncle will cook for you." Yang Daniu heard that Ling Muer was coming, he hurriedly closed the fence door and walked in.

Ling Muer pointed at the leftovers on the table, and smiled sheepishly: "Uncle, I made cakes with your sorghum noodles, you can just scold me."

"What did you scold you for? Uncle should feel embarrassed." Yang Daniu said: "Mom, have you eaten yet?"

"Eat. Mu'er's cooking skills are excellent. I'm afraid it's even better than yours." Tang said cheerfully.

"It smells so good. Dad, grandma is right, she really eats better than us. Look at these fish fillets, they smell so good!" Yang Xiaohu is at the age of troublemakers. He climbed onto the table and started eating without saying a word. Although the fish fillets were a bit cold, they tasted very good. Children like them who grew up in the countryside are not so delicate. As long as there is food, it doesn't matter whether it is hot or cold.

Yang Daniu didn't scold Yang Xiaohu, seeing that he was eating happily, he let him go. He looked at Tang and said, "Mother, do you still eat?"

"Mother is full, save the meat you brought back for dinner." Tang touched Ling Muer's hand, looking for her direction. "Girl, don't you come back today? Stay with grandma for one night."

"Grandmother, I also want to accompany you. But I am thinking about doing some business, so as to change the family's predicament. I will talk with you after I finish my work." Ling Muer said to Tang Corporation.

You want to do business? What business are you going to do? "Yang Daniu looked up in surprise.

Ling Mu'er thought for a while, then smiled lightly: "I haven't figured it out yet. I'll tell you when I figure it out. I'm going home soon. Grandma, I'll be with you another day."

"Huzi, your cousin brought you a rabbit. It's in the kitchen now, do you want to go and have a look?" Tang reminded the little grandson who was happily eating.

When Yang Xiaohu heard that there was a rabbit, he put down his chopsticks and jumped off the table. Provoking Yang laughed and scolded for a while.

Not long after, Yang Xiaohu's cheers came from the kitchen. He said happily: "There is a rabbit! Thank you cousin."

"Mu'er, why did you bring him a rabbit? A rabbit costs 20 Wen. Wouldn't it be nice for you to sell it for money? Take the rabbit away later." Yang Daniu said seriously.

"Father, I like rabbits. I want to raise rabbits." Yang Xiaohu walked over holding the rabbit. "Father, don't let my cousin take my rabbit away. I will find the grass, so I don't need to trouble my father to take care of it."

"Huzi, listen to my father. Your cousin's family is not easy. Your aunt has had a hard time these years. A rabbit can be sold for 20 yuan, which can be exchanged for six or seven catties of sorghum noodles, which is enough for their family to feed for half a month." Be obedient..." Yang Daniu did not take the things from Yang Xiaohu's hand arbitrarily, but reasoned very patiently.

Yang Xiaohu's expression became gloomy after hearing Yang Daniu's words. He lowered his head in grievance, and said sadly: "Okay! I'll listen to my father. Cousin, take the rabbit away!"

"Since it's a gift, how can you return it?" Ling Mu'er said, "We still have a few at home, and we've already sold them today. Uncle, you don't have to wrong Xiaohu."

"This... that is too expensive." Yang Daniu shook his head and said stubbornly: "I'd better take it back. You have a lot of people in your family, so whether you sell it or eat it, it will be worth it for a while."

"This is for Xiaohu, not for uncle. Why is uncle helping Xiaohu make decisions all the time? Ling Muer pulled Ling Xiaohu. Listen to my cousin, and she will buy you candy later. If you listen to everything Your father's, I won't take you to play in the future. The rabbit is a gift from me, and if you don't like it, I won't accept my gift. "

Yang Xiaohu glanced at Yang Daniu. Yang Daniu stared at him displeasedly, and he was afraid in his heart, so he said: "Cousin, father is right, this thing is too expensive. When I grow up, you can give it to me again! Now I don't know how to take care of it. If If you feed it to death, how pitiful it is.”

"If it goes back with me, it is also the fate of being sent to the pot. August also has a rabbit in his hand. Our family is willing to keep a playmate for the child, why can't it be a little tiger?" Ling Muer said: "Uncle , you tie up Xiaohu like this, and you are so clearly separated from our family, I will not dare to ask you for help with anything in the future."

"This... you child." Yang Daniu sighed with a headache. "How can I distinguish clearly from you? I'm just such a younger sister, and your family is our family."

"The rabbit will be delivered to your house, just like ours. I'll put it with you first. One day we can't afford to eat, and then come here to look for the rabbit." Ling Muer smiled and said, "That's the deal."

"Okay." Tang shi laughed from the side. "I've never seen uncles and nephews like you. If other people's families are eager to ask for more things to go back, you are eager to suffer more. Daniel, let Xiaohu take care of it! Mu'er is a stubborn girl, and she decides things." It won’t change. In the future, you just need to remember your niece’s kindness.”

"Okay then!" Yang Dan was stupid, he talked to Ling Mu'er for a long time just now, but she didn't change her mind. He sighed, and said: "Whatever you need in the future, as long as it is what our family has, just come to uncle. Uncle has nothing else, but you still have a handful of strength. You don't want to be strangers to uncle."

"I don't want to see my uncle! Uncle is like my other father." Ling Muer said seriously.
