Vol 2 Chapter 110: New Yard (2)

In the old yard of Zhang's family, Mother Zhang has been busy with her two daughters-in-law in the early morning. She prepared several large pots of corn dregs, ribs stewed with potatoes, clear stewed beans, lard dregs with Chinese cabbage and pickles.
Busy, time passed quickly, and it was noon in a short while.
Mother Zhang took her daughter-in-law, and the three picked them, and put them in the temporary thatched house in the new yard. Here is a piece of Luohao, the smell comes out. Daddy Zhang quickly let everyone eat first, and then do it in the afternoon.
The pork ribs stewed with potatoes in this wooden plate, the only meat is the potato pieces, the lard residue stewed in the Chinese cabbage, there are a few pieces of meat residue. Everyone said that Zhang's father is kind and Zhang's mother is generous. The villagers who came to deliver the stone, and even the children who followed, were pulled over by Zhang to eat together.
Everyone was busy all morning, and they were all greedy. There are few chairs on the side, squatting, leaning, and everything. In the countryside, those who really don’t mind having to sit down on the table will automatically leave the only chairs for the elders and the bricklayer.
In a short while, the food was all empty, even the broth was eaten in a rough way, and the wooden barrels and wooden plates that were picked were all empty.
Daddy Zhang saw that he repeatedly called his wife, "The child is his mother, there is not enough here, so take your daughter-in-law and add it."
Master bricklayer hiccuped, shook his hand, and shouted: "Don't shout. I'm full, I'm full without seeing me? Don't listen to him, old sister-in-law."
Mother Zhang looked at her wife hesitantly, all of which came up, where did she change suddenly? I was relieved when everyone said they were full. Everyone is helping her house, but it can't make people overwhelmed, or it has to be notorious. Her father-in-law is still alive, and prefers to be careful, tighten his belt, and don't feel wronged to help the good guys.
She prepared a full serving of 30 people in the morning, so she should be full. It seems that we still have to prepare more wowotou tomorrow. You can keep it if you can't finish it, and you can take one or two back to everyone.
Now everyone even wowotou is a rarity. I saw a few villagers who didn't feel embarrassed to eat more. The saved Wowotou was secretly left in their arms. This was intended to be eaten by the children at home. Mother Zhang looked sad, and secretly moved her eyes away, pretending not to see.
After thinking about it, it is better to double it, and she will build a house this time in her life. Don't be reluctant to give up your rations, I'd rather save a little bit by myself, and make everyone who come to help happy. Maybe there are not many people working in the village tomorrow, and someone will come to help. You have to start steaming wowotou when you get to bed tomorrow morning, or else you won't be able to catch up with breakfast.
After a break, Zhang Guoqing greeted everyone and left beforehand.
Father Zhang and the others were full, sat down and smoked cigarettes, chatted with the master bricklayer for a while, seeing the villagers who brought the stones back home to rest. Just about to propose to let the master bricklayer rest.
Master bricklayer will look at the apprentices and said cheerfully: "How about? Can you eat it? If you have enough food and drink, continue to work, and strive to finish the two yards sooner."
After finishing speaking, he stood up and kicked the big apprentice, "Hurry up and take them to work. They are all kind people in the old Zhang family. You work hard. They know everything in their hearts and can't lose you."
The master bricklayer had just passed his 60th birthday last year, and his body was very healthy, so he wandered around without problems. Now the two sons in the family, the eldest son has inherited his craft. The younger son followed the Yue family into the city. The family is well-off, and this time it is also because the elder son has a living in the city.
Speaking of his craftsmanship, all ten miles and eight villages are thumbs up. Don't look at him now, living without worry, when his parents were alive, the rats at home were too poor to come to his home. But he is smart, and he went to the provincial capital to make a living at a young age, helping his parents to support his younger siblings. I have pulled rickshaws in the provincial capital, carried goods on the dock, and worked as a salesman. Whatever makes money, I get into it.
By chance, I met Grandpa Zhang, who was still alive. The two chatted and found that they were from the same hometown. Grandpa Zhang is an enthusiastic person. Seeing him at such a young age, it is not a problem to get up and to be greedy for the dark. He doesn't have any craftsmanship, so he gave an idea and helped him introduce the famous bricklayer master in the provincial capital.
He always remembered the kindness of Grandpa Zhang back then, and he can hardly forget the game. The grandchildren of the old Zhang family learned some crafts from him. This time, Father Zhang came to talk about building the yard, and agreed without saying a word. Even the wife winked, and the son said that he would come to work by himself in the coming year, but he was ruthlessly cleaned up.
Zhang Guoqing went back to the room, looked at the food left in the room, and asked her anxiously, "Jiaojiao, why are there leftovers? Are you unable to eat? Do you want to eat something? Let's change the taste."
Zhou Jiao frowned and said softly, "Forget it, I still have a lot of confinement meals in it. You bought it and it was conspicuous, and it was just a matter of time. Did you not have enough to eat at noon? Mom is gone, the food at home is definitely Back to the original, it is still Wowotou, I can smell the smell."
"Reluctantly ate a wowotou~EbookFREE.me~ just eat the food. You keep it in your hand for you to eat slowly. There is chicken soup in the stove, so I just mix the leftovers and eat it."
Zhou Jiao didn't listen to him. She had known that he was strong and appetite. Coupled with heavy work today, a small bowl of rice is not enough to stuff his teeth. Zhou Jiao directly took out two large bowls of lunch, sweet and sour short ribs, and grilled steak. Seeing that they were all meat dishes, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Come to eat, don’t you have to go out today? Let’s eat it all, we are not afraid of no food, no need to save for me. You have to take care of yourself too-I think it’s better to move earlier, you are so tired There is nothing wrong with going down. I don’t get enough sleep every day. I get up early in the morning and lie down in the middle of the night. See if you can pay for it. Don’t go to the foundation and find a reason not to go. You haven’t suffered from this before. Now I have eaten it all."
Zhang Guoqing smiled and watched her worryingly nagging, and when she finished speaking, she comforted: "I know, I know, you can rest assured. If you are really tired, don't go. It's okay now. Don't feel bad about me, We are considered good now. Don’t you see that today’s wowotou are all regarded as treasures, and they are reluctant to eat them and hide them in their arms to bring them back. Some people are picking up rocks, their faces are yellow and thin, and their clothes are single and full of patches. I wore straw sandals on my feet, and the child behind was also wearing single clothes and straw sandals, shivering. I saw my sore nose, and I wanted to take off my clothes and put it on the child. But it was just an idea, not really Do it."
Zhou Jiao patted him gently, and there were some words that didn't need to be spoken. In such a big environment, their strength was too small, and they might be too involved. They are just small people, and they can only be small people.
After Zhang Guoqing had finished eating, hugged her son, and chatted with Zhou Jiao for a few words, she took away the small note Jiaojiao had prepared, took two bottles of wine and said goodbye to her.
