Chapter 245

For dinner, because he thought that Bai Xiangchen and Juhua would have to leave early in the morning, and because the pigs were slaughtered in the afternoon, there was a lot of fresh pork at home, so Yang Liu specially cooked some good dishes by himself.

I made boiled pork slices and meat and egg dumplings that everyone in the family loves to eat. In addition, I specially made a braised lion's head. Because there are many people in the family, the lion's head is big. Each person only occupies one, but everyone eats it. Full of praise.

After a meal, the boiled pork slices were spicy and delicious, the meat and egg dumpling skins were thin and tender, and the braised lion heads were cooked just right. The whole family had a great time eating.

While the family was happy, Yang Mancang drank a few drinks, probably a little drunk, and pulled Yang Liu to say some nasty things that he would never say easily: "Our girl, Liu'er, is comparable to A boy can still do things, he can make money in business, and he can cook well, Chen'er, if you married Liu'er from our family, you will be picking up a treasure."

Bai Xiangchen was clever. Hearing Yang Mancang's words, he immediately took Yang Liu's hand into his own. He looked at Yang Liu as if he wanted to cherish some treasure, and then said to Yang Mancang: "Father-in-law, Liu'er is more important to me than you are." Baby is still baby."

Yang Mancang laughed happily, and patted Bai Xiangchen on the shoulder: "Remember what you said, if you let me know that you treat her badly, I will punish you."

Bai Xiangchen patted his chest, and said with pride: "No, father-in-law, I won't treat Liu'er badly. If I treat Liu'er badly in the future, I don't need father-in-law to take care of me. I will take care of myself."

For some reason, Yang Liu felt that when Bai Xiangchen said these words, his expression was very serious, and he didn't look stupid at all, which made Yang Liu struggle again, whether this guy was stupid or not.

If this guy is really not stupid, that number is really not ordinary high, even Yang Liu is almost no match for him.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door from outside the yard. It sounded like several people were talking, including Mrs. Zhao's voice.

Yang Liu pulled her lips lightly, she guessed that Mrs. Zhao sent the pig into the water.

Who knows, Yang Liu's guess was only half right, besides Zhao Shi and Yang Manfu, Yingzi's parents also brought Yingzi along.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly took a big sack from Yang Manfu and put it in front of Mrs. Cao, whispering to Mrs. Cao, "Sister-in-law, I ran into them on the way, so I just set up a conversation for you."

Cao asked her, "What are you talking about?"

Thinking that Mrs. Zhao didn't ask clearly, she was slightly stunned, and then said vaguely: "I think what Yingzi's parents mean, it seems that there are quite a lot of demands on the day of marriage, let's see if your family can meet it." gone."

When Cao heard this, her face immediately fell, and she welcomed Yingzi's parents, Zhao and the others into the house with a lukewarm attitude.

Yang Mancang ordered Xiaoye to pour a cup of tea for each of them, then smiled and asked Yingzi's parents: "Mother-in-law, are you here so late to discuss the marriage between Qingfeng and Yingzi?

Yingzi's father touched his head honestly and smiled: "There is nothing special, just come here for a while, but Manfu and the others seem to have something to do, let them talk about it first."

Yang Liu could see that Yingzi's parents did have something to say, and judging by their posture, they felt that it was hard for the Zhao couple to talk about it here.

Even so, it seemed that Mrs. Zhao's words were somewhat true, and Qingfeng and Yingzi would really have to sit in the room when they were going to talk about serious business.

Thinking about it, Yang Liu looked around in the yard and saw Qingfeng standing beside Yingzi, as if he was not surprised by the arrival of Yingzi's family.
Yang Liu glanced at him, but said nothing.

After hearing what Yingzi's father said, Mrs. Zhao said, "I have nothing to do. I just sent some things to my elder brother's house. Your matters are more important. You should talk about them first."

It's not easy to talk about Zhao's affairs, and he is too willing to let Yingzi's family know about it.

Mrs. Cao also noticed it, so she called Mrs. Zhao, Yang Manfu and sister Yang Liu out.

After several people arrived in the yard, Mrs. Cao pointed to the things in Mrs. Zhao's hand and asked, "My third son, what did you bring?"

Mrs. Zhao looked at Mrs. Cao with an embarrassed smile, but what she said was pleasant: "Sister-in-law, I just went back and thought about it, and I still feel a little sorry for delaying your business tomorrow, so I still send the pigs to you. coming."

Mrs. Cao looked at Yang Liu in surprise, thinking that her own daughter had guessed it right, and Mrs. Zhao really had no choice but to ask for the twenty Wen.

But Mrs. Cao saw that it was getting dark, and felt that it could not be done today, so she looked puzzled: "Ah? But it's so late, and now you bring the things here, and I can't clean them up at home. I can't do business tomorrow, I don't want this pig in the water."

When Mrs. Zhao heard the words, she immediately grabbed Mrs. Cao's hand, and said anxiously: "Don't, don't, sister-in-law, isn't it just a matter of time to leave, why can't it be done."

As she said that, she immediately dragged another basin from the yard, poured the contents of the sack into the basin, and said to Cao: "How about this, the third child and I will help you to do it together. There are more people and more hands. It will be finished soon, you have to do your work first, let Liu Er and the other sisters watch me here."

As he said that, Mrs. Zhao urged Mrs. Cao into the house, dragged the willows, and said, "Come on, tell us how to do it. The main thing is how to clean the smell in the pig sewage. I have done it several times. The stench can't be washed off all the time."

Seeing Mrs. Zhao being so diligent, Yang Liu really couldn't see what Mrs. Zhao wanted to do. If it was just to sell two sets of pigs, it wouldn't be like this.

But seeing that Mrs. Zhao didn't seem to be pretending, she really started to get the pig's offal, Yang Liu thought for a while, and then thought of a possibility. It is estimated that Mrs. Zhao's real purpose is to know how to clean up the pig's offal.

And she also said that she has done it herself, and she probably tried it after seeing her family making money by doing it at home, but she never found the secret.

Hmph, if everyone knew this secret, what would she, Yang Liu, do with the money.

Therefore, Yang Liu raised her eyebrows and asked her: "Third Aunt, have you ever messed with a pig?"

"No." Surprised that she said something wrong, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly glanced at Yang Liu, and then quickly changed the subject: "Liu'er, how did you deal with this pig into the water? Is there any special way?" kid?"

Sure enough!

Yang Liu looked at her with wide eyes, and said solemnly: "No, just wash it a few more times."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Yang Liu angrily, and said in a flattering tone, "You girl, you are really tight-lipped, the third aunt is from my own family, tell me, I won't talk nonsense, and I promise I won't hinder you from making money. "

Yang Liu looked at Mrs. Zhao with a playful smile, and asked her, "Then you need to know what this is for."

"..." Mrs. Zhao was speechless, so she could only lower her head to hide the pig.

Yang Manfu on the side thought that he had known Zhao's purpose earlier, when he saw Yang Liu's question, he hurriedly pulled Zhao: "Okay, okay, Liu'er even said that I don't want you to do it, let's go home."

Mrs. Zhao glared at Yang Manfu, and squatted beside the basin, unwilling to move.

Yang Manfu had no choice but to look at Yang Liu with a very apologetic smile.

Forget it, for the sake of third uncle, Yang Liu didn't compete with her anymore, she looked at Mrs. Zhao and smiled: "Forget it, for the sake of third uncle and third aunt coming here specially, this I’ll keep the pigs in the water, I don’t have time to do it tonight, let’s do it tomorrow, and I’ll eat it at home.”

"That's it...then..."

Mrs. Zhao was still dissatisfied, and wanted to speak out, but was stopped by Yang Manfu halfway: "That's okay, that Liuer, the pig is put in the water here, let's go back first."

After Yang Manfu finished speaking, he dragged Mrs. Zhao to leave. Mrs. Zhao didn't mind if she couldn't find a house where the pigs were washed and put into the water.

She used all her strength to break free from Yang Manfu's hand, and replied in a moderate voice: "Why, isn't it that the money hasn't been paid yet?"

Only then did Yang Liu remember that she hadn't given any money, she smiled and patted herself on the head, took out twenty Wen coins from her body and handed them to Mrs Zhao: "Two sets of pigs into the water, a total of twenty Wen, Third Aunt, please keep it carefully." what."

"Success." After receiving the money, Mrs. Zhao still didn't rush to leave. She wandered around the yard a few times and then went to the room where Yingzi's parents were, presumably to listen to gossip.

Yang Liu glanced at the room, and after telling Bai Xiangchen to go to bed earlier, she also went to the room.

I don't know what I said just now. When Yang Liu entered the room, Mrs. Cao was yelling at Yang Mancang: "Do you think you are a big landlord or something? You agree to whatever people say, do you know this? How did our family earn money through hard work?"

Yang Mancang lowered his head and muttered something, and Cao Shi was furious. Just about to open his mouth to curse, when he saw Yang Liu standing at the door, he stretched out his hand to pull Yang Liu into the room, pointed at Yang Mancang and said to Yang Liu: "Liu'er, tell me about your father, can you tell him not to be so honest, honest people are easy to be bullied these days."

Yang Liu glanced at the people in the room, and persuaded Mrs. Cao to sit down on a stool beside her: "Mother, if you have something to say, speak slowly, don't worry, what's going on this time?"

Cao was restless in anger: "Yingzi's family said that when we were engaged last time, their relatives did not come to arrange it. At that time, some people did not get the red envelopes we made. Pack it again."

When Qingfeng and the others got engaged last time, Yang Liu was at home, so she knew what Cao Shi was talking about.

The rule here is that when a man and a woman are engaged, the relatives of the woman's family will come to the man's house, as the name implies, to "see relatives".

In order to express the importance the man's family attaches to the woman's family, the relatives from the woman's family and the man's family will all give red envelopes. As for the amount, there is no certain limit, but it should not be too small, otherwise it will make people feel that the man's family is stingy.

Yang Liu remembered the time when Qingfeng got engaged, the family gave a red envelope of [-] Wen per person. Yingzi’s family had more than a dozen relatives that day, and Yang Liu’s family packed a tael of silver to go out. That night, the Cao family was still in pain. I muttered to Yang Liu for a long time.
