The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

"Father, what are you talking about fifty taels? Our family has fifty taels?" Yan Yu's little ears are pointed!

"Well, don't you want to report to you at night?" Yan Laoer looked around like a thief, and whispered: "I went to the town today, but the people from the gambling shop stopped me. They insisted on money, Mr. Yan pawned all the ten mu of land for the family, no, I didn’t see a pawn ticket, it should be sold, seventy taels, and I owed the twenty, leaving fifty taels.”

"Father!" Yan Yu pouted dissatisfied, "Why didn't you talk about such a big thing when you came back!"

"Isn't it too late? Uncle Ni asked me to go to the town again to cash in these notes. It's just a little time in the afternoon. I don't have to pay for it first. Look at you, Dabao, you are not willing to do it." , why don't you go to town with me in the afternoon? Don't say, you are really good at drawing that simple map, thanks to it, otherwise I would be caught blind." Yan Laoer said happily.

"Go to town?" Yan Yu's eyes lit up, twinkling like little stars, "Okay, okay!"

Li Xuemei smiled helplessly when she heard the couple discussing the scenery of the town enthusiastically, there are not many streets in such a big town anyway.

All three members of the family drank some watery rice soup, and Yan Laoer took his wife to Cui Langzhong's house and returned it to the donkey cart.

He suddenly realized why Old Yan asked him to make another trip. There might be too many things. It might just be one of them. He walked on his legs so that he could drive the ox cart back on the return journey.

When they arrived at Cui Langzhong's house, they thanked him first, and gave way for a long time to the straw prepared for the donkey, and finally it was Mrs. Cui who decided to accept it.

Cui Langzhong felt Li Xuemei's pulse, and it really was Xi's pulse.

Amid Mrs. Cui's congratulations, she returned home in a daze.

Although my daughter had said it a long time ago, she felt different after being confirmed by the doctor.

"It's true, almost two months." Li Xuemei said to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, he laughed and said: "In a few months, our family will have a second treasure!"

"Yes, the second treasure is coming! You have to prepare in advance." Yan's second cheered up.

Of course I was happy at first, but after a while, I also felt a little sad.

What kind of harsh and harsh conditions are they living in now? How can they raise their children!

"Second Uncle, Dad called you over." The eldest nephew came over and called him.

He responded and hurried away.

Entering the room, he asked nonchalantly, "Brother, do you want to..."

"Shut up!" Yan Huaiwen couldn't help but stop him, he was too blind to see, he was already able to get down to the ground by himself, and he kept asking.

He gasped heavily angrily, "The car was returned? Did you thank him properly?"

"I went back, cut a bag of straw and sent it." Yan Laoer replied honestly.

"Why are you still bringing your daughter-in-law with you? Are your younger siblings feeling unwell?" Yan Huaiwen vaguely remembered that his younger siblings had suffered a serious illness at this time, but he didn't know why.

"My lady, she has it!" Yan's second son was not yet happy, and when someone asked, he couldn't wait to share: "Cui Langzhong felt his pulse and said he was two months old, hehe!"

Yan Huaiwen was shocked!

Two months pregnant... a serious illness...

This child, this child, should not be kept.

And just in these days.

He warned himself again that the family must not be separated.

Look at his second brother, how can he do without him? I can't even keep my own children.

Thinking of adding a newcomer, Yan Huaiwen couldn't help but beam with joy, pointed to the dean to give him Cheng Yi, and said:

"Our family's heirs are weak, and adding children is a big deal. I didn't think carefully before, and all I bought was starving brown rice. It's okay for us to eat. The siblings are rich. You go to the grain store to buy some refined rice and fine noodles."

He thought for a while, and then said: "Although the age is not good, don't be too frugal, Er Ya is still young, I see that the child is very thin, so I will cut some meat back to make up for the children."

Old Yan's heart is hot, old Yan is really good, he is sick, and he is still thinking about this and that.

"Brother, your health is also suffering. You can't just rely on medicine, you have to eat more and nourish yourself." Yan's second son decided to buy more, not only for pregnant women and children at home, but also for old Yan to make up for it. What can I do by taking medicine alone.

"I'm fine." Yan Huaiwen waved his hand. In his last life, he went to Fucheng to take refuge, and the journey was difficult. This time, he plans to move his family to the north. The journey is farther, and it will only be harder.

A poor family has a rich road, no amount of preparation is enough.

In the end, money is still tight, and I don't know if I can stick to Guanzhou.

"Go quickly, go early and come back early."

"well!"

...

In the end, Yan Laoer did not take his daughter to the town with him.

Just after noon, the sun was shining brightly, and he was walking again. He felt sorry for the child, so he had to promise to take her with him next time.

Walking all the way, Yan Laoer first went to pick up the ox cart when he arrived in the town.

The twenty-eight liang ox cart is really extraordinary, it looks more magnificent than the mule cart next to it.

He drove the bullock cart all the way to pick up the goods, and finally arrived at the grain shop, where he realized the great generosity of Old Yan.

I bought four whole bags of brown rice, and the buddy helped to lift it into the car. He tried to lift it a little, but it was very heavy.

He bought some rice and white noodles, and when he saw that there was millet, he weighed less.

I cut a piece of meat that was moderately fat and lean, picked some big clean shaved bones, and finally had a long inkling with the butcher stall owner, who asked him to spare half of his pork liver.

There was some money left, but he didn't know how much.

I only know that there are two pieces of broken silver and a string of more than a dozen copper plates.

Illiteracy is not terrible, what is terrible is ignorance...

Back home, the eldest brother went out with the eldest nephew.

"It is said to go to see how much wheat is still not returned." Li Xuemei helped organize the small things, and went to the kitchen with meat, big bones and pork liver.

It's hard to be able to eat a meal of meat, but she has to cook well. She doesn't know how good Da Ya's cooking is, and she hasn't had the opportunity to show this child these days, but she understands and respects her father's cooking skills. definitely.

Today, Yan Lao Er must be allowed to cook by himself.

Don't be too pretentious in a small basin of water, it's all pig parts, don't dislike anyone, wash it in one basin.

Yan Laoer managed to unload the four bags of brown rice, but he felt a little bit of a feeling in his upper body, one bag was about a hundred catties.

After taking off the carriage frame and tying up the cattle, his daughter volunteered to take over the work of feeding the cattle, and he came to the kitchen in a hurry.

"Let me do it."

Kiss the couple and want to go together.

Li Xuemei moved out of the way, lowered her lower body, and studied the stove.

Yan Lao Er weighed the kitchen knife, found a large and thick porcelain bowl, and began to sharpen the knife.

When Yan Yu heard the voice, Teng Teng Teng ran over.

Holding the door frame, staring at her father without blinking.

Hands up and down with a knife, fat and thin are separated, and then peeled.

Chop the big bones. Chop it.

Start the fire, heat the stove.

Da Ya heard the movement and hurried over.

I saw her second uncle cut the fatty meat into pieces and put it directly into the pot. The meat was getting smaller and smaller, and the lard was getting more and more fat.

It's not easy, the author finally arranged to eat meat, ah! o(*￣︶￣*)o
