Chapter 31 Rules

The Zhou family hadn't eaten dinner yet, but the food was ready, and they were obviously waiting for them. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, the big head led his younger brothers and sisters to rush up with a cry.

No matter how the trolley was walking, he climbed up with all his hands and feet. When Zhou Dalang and Tuesday Lang saw each other, their eyes became a crack in laughter. superior.

From a distance, Lao Zhoutou saw the smiles on their faces and knew that the trip was going well, so he turned around and went back to the house with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Qian led the two concubines to take the table in the main room to the yard. It was a little dark in the room, and it was a waste to light the oil lamp. Anyway, there was still light outside, so I finished eating outside.

Friday Lang and Saturday Lang, one carrying the money in the cloth bag and the other carrying the big rooster in the basket, both rushed home.

Before entering the door, he shouted, "sister-in-law, sister-in-law, stew chicken for dinner tonight."

Xiao Qian said without raising his head: "You are so beautiful, you have to eat chicken when you enter the city. The chickens at home are all used to lay eggs."

Saturday Lang has already rushed to the front, turned his back and let her see the basket behind him, and said loudly: "I don't want the chicken at home, I want this one."

When Xiao Qian saw this miserable chicken, he exclaimed, "Where did you get the chicken? Steal, steal?"

Xiao Qian's eyes widened. After Shirou learned to gamble, the remaining two children also learned to steal chickens?

Are you going to pet the dog next time?

Xiao Qian couldn't help pinching his waist, but Saturday Lang was unhappy and turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, am I that kind of person? This chicken was given by someone else."

Xiao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, took the miserable cock out of the basket, weighed it, and found that it was quite heavy, she couldn't help asking: "Who is so careless, even though this chicken looks a little miserable. Son, but it’s also meat, and it’s so fat, so I gave it to you.”

Saturday Lang laughed and said, "I also think he's very greedy, but some people say that we are still at a disadvantage. Anyway, it's a long story, sister-in-law, let's kill the chicken and stew it first, this is for Manbao's special purpose. Niang Bu's body was brought back."

Xiao Qian looked at the time and said, "Forget it tonight, leave it for tomorrow."

She looked at the cock in her hand carefully, and couldn't help muttering, "Actually, raising it might still work..."

Wuwu Lang and Saturday Lang widened their eyes and seemed to see the chicken moving away from them. The brothers didn't even think about it, they turned around and shouted to Man Bao, who had just entered the yard: "Man Bao, sister-in-law is going to raise the big cock and take it. Sell, please persuade her."

Xiao Qian glared at the brothers.

Man Bao couldn't care less that the scooter didn't stop, so he slid off the scooter with a gurgling, and then ran to Xiao Qian's side, holding her arm and shaking, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, kill **, this is The chicken that nourishes the mother's body, the rooster nourishes the qi and blood, the mother may eat it and it will be fine."

Qian Shi also walked out of the door slowly, and said with a smile: "Man Bao, don't make trouble with your sister-in-law, it's getting late, you have to kill it tomorrow."

"No, look, there's still light, we'll make a fire for dinner at night, it's not too late."

The children also looked at it eagerly, and the old Zhoutou said: "Okay, since it is the filial piety of a few children, let's do it tonight, anyway, I do it early and late, I don't think this chicken has much energy. Head, you might die if you leave it until tomorrow."

Man Bao also nodded again and again, "Dead chicken is not delicious."

Xiao Qian took the chicken to kill, Feng Shi and Shi hurried to help, one boiled the hot water on the stove, and the other prepared the ingredients for the chicken stew.

Now there is no good dish to go with it at home, but you can pull out two large radishes and cut them up and stew together.

The three concubines were busy in the kitchen, while Zhou Dalang and the others reported today's affairs to the old Zhoutou in the yard.

How much money was sold for the grain, and how much was spent to buy medicine, the rest was handed over to Lao Zhoutou, and Lao Zhoutou gave it to Qian Shi.

The family's money has always been in charge of Qian's.

The Zhou family's fields are not much and not much, and when they are good years, they will have some leftovers. Fortunately, their family has a lot of labor, and they can also take out some odd jobs outside of farming, and only save some money when they are scattered.

The family can save so much money, of which Qian's credit is a lot, because she mediates everything in the family, who does what work and how to do it, most of it is arranged by her, and even Lao Zhoutou will listen to her.

Qian received the money, counted it, and made a note in her heart. When she turned her head, she found that Man Bao was surrounded by the children, and she didn't know what she was talking about, so she couldn't help but slightly With a smile, he asked Zhou Dalang, "Did Manbao cause you any trouble today?"

Zhou Dalang glanced at Man Bao, who was pouting his back to them. He didn't know what to say to the children. Everyone was exclaiming, he hesitated for a while and said, "Father, mother, today is in the county seat, full of people. They also made a lot of money.”

Old Zhou Tou let out a hoot and said with a smile, "Have Man Bao's flower basket been sold?"

Zhou Dalang said: "Not only that, she also passed a big rooster, and she made three coins as soon as she changed hands."

Old Zhou Tou stayed with Qian Shi, and quickly called Man Bao over to ask.

Man Bao happened to be bragging with his nephews and nieces. Seeing his father and mother asking, his little chest became taller, and he proudly told what they did in the county today.

She grew up listening to stories. Her parents told her stories, her brother and sister-in-law told her stories, Mr. Zhuang told her stories, and Keke often told her stories. In addition, she recently came into contact with storybooks. She has already touched a little bit of storytelling, so she danced and described it well, and everyone listened with relish.

Especially the big head and the others who have never been to the county seat. Although they have never been, but after hearing the description from my sister-in-law, they imagined that they had been there too.

Man Bao's mouth was dry, and Qian Shi silently poured her a bowl of water.

Man Bao drank it and said with bright eyes, "Mother, you don't know, there are many people in the county town. Will I take you there next time?"

Qian Shi smiled slightly, "What am I going to do in the county seat? You can just go."

Zhou Dalang's eyes slid from Manbao's little cloth pocket to the cloth bag held by Wuwu Lang, and said, "Mother, so much money can't be given to the children, what if it falls?"

Qian Shi also said to Man Bao, "Man Bao, give the money to Mother, and Mother will keep it for you, okay?"

Man Bao shook his head, "I want to take care of it myself, I'm an adult now."

Qian Shi smiled slightly, touched her head and said, "You are also part of our family, do you know the rules of the family?"

Man Bao shook his head.

Qian said: "Your brother and sister-in-law earn 60% of the money they make outside, and they have to pay 60% to the public school. If you want to take the money yourself, you have to pay 60%."

Since it is a rule, Man Bao did not refuse. She thought about it and said, "Okay, but I have to count how many there are in total."
