Chapter 136 Buying Meat Together
"Okay, okay, don't I just ask one more question? It seems that I won't let you go back to my parents' home!" Aunt Niu saw her daughter-in-law becoming more and more sad. Thinking about the fact that the couple in the family were also very pitiful, and there was no caring person around, he said quickly.
Ding Qiaoyun watched the two children have had breakfast and took two new clothes with them, and then prepared to go back to her parents' home.
Before leaving, Ding Qiaoyun explained to Aunt Wang about the workshop at home and asked her to help her watch.
Aunt Wang agreed with a smile and had been working here for some time. The people she found at the beginning all thanked her in private. She found such a good job, not only to make money, but also at her doorstep, so she didn't have to go to a place like the county town. Of course, she became more and more energetic as she did. Now she saw Ding Qiaoyun valued herself so much, which was even more troublesome.
Now that Xiang'er has grown up, she doesn't have to hold her. She holds her hands with Jun'er, and she doesn't walk slowly. Ding Qiaoyun, who was walking behind, looked at the two sensible buns, and said it was fake that she was not moved. The two children have been following her for so long, and she has done a lot of thoughtful actions during this period, and she is becoming more and more like a mother.
"Mom, hurry up, you're not as fast as Xiang'er's way!" Xiang'er shouted loudly in a silence.
"Xiang'er is very helpful now. Mom can't catch up with Xiang'er anymore!" This shout pulled Ding Qiaoyun, who was immersed in her memories, and immediately said with a smile.
"Come and chase me!" When Xiang'er heard her mother praise her, she threw away her brother's hand and started running happily, saying with a giggle while running.
"I'll do it!" Ding Qiaoyun was like a big bad wolf, deliberately lowering her voice and scaring her fear.
"Mom can't catch up with me, I can't catch up with me!" Xiang'er turned around and grimaced while running.
The two little guys seemed very excited because they hadn't been to my grandfather's grandmother's house with Ding Qiaoyun for a long time.
Soon the mother and the three of them walked to the entrance of Dingjiazhuang. They saw a man sitting on a big rock at the entrance of the village from afar. They didn't know what they were doing!
Ding Qiaoyun thought to herself that it was such a cold day, who wouldn't stay at home, and she ran to a place with the wind at the entrance of the village to sit. But when she walked in, she saw that this person was no one else but her mother, and she felt very distressed.
"Mom, it's so cold, you're not staying at home, why are you going here?" Ding Qiaoyun hurriedly ran to her mother and said with distress.
"Didn't you ask someone to come here a few days ago? I'll wait here, see, wait for me!" Aunt Ding's hands were almost stiff, and she held her daughter's hand and said happily.
"Look at your cold hands, let's go home quickly!" Ding Qiaoyun's eyes suddenly turned red when she saw her mother like this. She regretted asking someone to take a message, which made her mother wait for so cold for so long.
"Jun'er, Xiang'er, come and let grandma see. Have you grown taller?" Aunt Ding asked happily when she saw Jun'er and Xiang'er coming.
"Grandma, Jun'er is very tall now, and she is almost at her mother's nose!" Jun'er stood up and said proudly when she heard this.
"I'm taller, grandmother!" Xiang'er jumped up as she said, fearing that her grandmother wouldn't notice her little one.
"Okay, okay, hurry up and go home with my grandmother. It's too windy here!" Ding Qiaoyun smiled and said, looking at the two children who were rushing to report their height.
"Okay, okay, go back quickly. Your father should be anxious at home!" Aunt Ding said with a smile. She is old and misses her most. She and her husband are only one child like Ding Qiaoyun. Compared with others, she is much lonely.
Jun'er and Xiang'er took the lead, and they didn't feel cold at all. They ran all the way, and their hands and feet were warm. They were really a pair of children who loved to move.
Ding Qiaoyun helped her mother walk behind and asked how her parents' lives were like these days.
"Oh, it's not that. Now it's just one day. Seeing that you are living well now, your father and I are relieved. I heard from the villagers that you are doing well now. It seems that your biological parents are blessing you!" Aunt Ding said and mentioned her daughter's background.
"Well, it should be, mom, stop talking about this!" Ding Qiaoyun didn't dare to tell her mother that the jade pendant was gone, but she secretly swore in her heart that she must find the jade pendant. Since someone bought it, there must be a buyer. Sooner or later, this person will appear.
My mother and mother walked while talking and soon arrived home.
At this time, Ding Erzhu heard the sound of two children playing and playing, and walked out of the yard. He saw his daughter leading her grandson and granddaughter, with a smile on his face.
"Dad, come back to the house quickly, it's cold outside." Ding Qiaoyun knew that her father was in poor health, and when she saw her father coming out, she hurriedly said.
"Grandfather, we are here. See my mother has made new clothes for you and grandmother!" Xiang'er said happily.
"Okay, Xiang'er, grandfather misses you, hurry up and go into the house, look at the little face being red with cold." Ding Erzhu was surrounded by two little guys, and he didn't know what to say.
"Xiang'er doesn't mind the cold. I've walked through it myself. Now my feet are warm." Xiang'er said sweetly, holding her grandfather's hand.
"Our Xiang'er is so powerful, you can go so far!" Ding Erzhu and his two children entered the house with a chat and laughter.
Ding Qiaoyun also helped her mother into the house.
"My father, I didn't have to worry about selling some meat or anything this time. Is Uncle Zhang, the meat seller, at home? His family may still sell meat, but I don't know if there are any pork ribs. I'll go and see it later. If there are any, I'll buy some. We'll have braised pork, dried bamboo shoots and stewed pork ribs at noon today." Ding Qiaoyun came in a hurry and didn't have time to buy things. She only brought two new clothes over.
"If you have vegetables at home, just ask your father to buy them. You can sit down and rest!" Aunt Ding pointed to the dishes on the table and said.
"I'm fine, my father's legs are inconvenient. You guys are watching Jun'er and Xiang'er at home, and I'll be back soon." Ding Qiaoyun said with a smile.
"Wait, I'll get you the money." Aunt Ding said as she was about to go into the house to get the money bag.
"Mom, just keep your money for yourself. I'll give you a few taels later, so you and dad will prepare New Year's things." Ding Qiaoyun hurriedly grabbed her mother and said with a smile, thinking that her mother thought she was a child and she would ask her parents to give money for something.
"We don't want your money. If you have time, you will get it twice. You always give us money like this. Your mother-in-law will be angry when she finds out." It turns out that Aunt Ding is afraid that her daughter will be wronged at her in-laws' house.
"Yes, your mother is right. This silver was also given to you last time. It has not been spent yet. Your mother and I can't use much silver. Just keep your money for yourself!" Ding Erzhu continued.
"I can't do the money I earn myself, I want to respect my parents. Don't worry, it's okay, I have a sense of my own!" Ding Qiaoyun couldn't stand her parents' appearance of fear of causing trouble. She always thought that she had to listen to her husband's family, and her parents didn't understand. Her daughter's core had long been changed and would no longer be slaughtered like before.
"Just listen when you say you, don't talk back!" Aunt Ding said angrily.
"I know, I know, you are waiting at home, I'll go buy meat!" Ding Qiaoyun said impatiently. Every time she mentioned her in-laws' affairs, her parents would talk about it, brainwash herself in various ways, such as being good to her parents-in-law, getting along well with her sister-in-law, etc., she was bored with listening to it.
"Okay, if you want to go, go as soon as possible! Don't sell it all out later..." Aunt Ding saw that her daughter really didn't want to talk about her in-laws' family, and stopped mentioning it, and urged her.
When Ding Qiaoyun heard her mother say this, she quickly left so that she would not stay at home again, and her mother would still talk to her.
On a cold day, there were not many people on the road on the village. Ding Qiaoyun thought to go to Zhang Butuhu's house quickly, so she walked very quickly. As she walked, she suddenly heard someone calling her. She stopped and looked closely and found that it was her aunt Wang Dajiao.
"Qiaoyun, you're visiting your parents again!" Wang Dajiao quickly walked to Ding Qiaoyun and said with a smile, thinking that Qiaoyun was probably coming to give her parents money again.
"Well, I just arrived, and I was about to go to Uncle Zhang's place to buy some meat back." Ding Qiaoyun had no choice but to stop and said.
"It's a coincidence that I'm going to go to Zhang Butuhu's house, and Maodan and Gouwa were clamoring for greed. I'll buy some meat to satisfy their cravings." Wang Dajiao slapped his thigh and said. In fact, she just happened to pass by and saw Ding Qiaoyun. She just heard that Ding Qiaoyun was going to buy meat and wanted to go with her to see if she could ask Ding Qiaoyun to pay for her.
Seeing Ding Qiaoyun's attitude towards him, Wang Dajiao knew that the old couple must have not told her about his affairs. He quickly patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then let's go together!" In fact, Ding Qiaoyun probably guessed that her aunt wanted to take advantage of her. She thought that she would be kind to her aunt and that her parents would take care of her here, so she went with her.
The two of them chatted with each sentence and soon arrived at the house of Butcher Zhang.
"Oh, Wang Dajiao, you're a fortune lately? Eat meat every day, let's see, what kind of meat do you want to buy today?" Zhang Butcher Zhang smiled and joked when he saw Wang Dajiao coming again today.
"What are you talking about? Where to go for money? Just kidding!" Wang Dajiao quickly stopped Butcher Zhang. He just said that Maodan and Gouwa wanted to eat meat to satisfy their cravings. When Zhang Butcher said this, it was not a mistake.
"Qiaoyun is here. If you ask me to bring it to you, I will bring it to you. Let's see what kind of meat you want to buy today?" Zhang Butcher Zhang was criticized by Wang Dajiao. He didn't know what the situation was, so he had to greet Ding Qiaoyun.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang, I want to buy some pork and ribs. How many ribs are there? Aunt, this cat egg and dog baby are greedy for eating meat every day!" Ding Qiaoyun answered Zhang's butcher's words, then turned around and smiled and said to her aunt.
"Haha, how can you be? You've heard your Uncle Zhang talk nonsense. How can we have so much money? Eat meat every day!" Wang Dajiao smiled awkwardly.
"There are not many ribs, only three left. Do you think it's okay?" Zhang Butcher Zhang didn't know what Wang Dajiao sold in this gourd, so he ignored her and asked Ding Qiaoyun directly.
"Okay, then you can give me three more pounds of pork!" Ding Qiaoyun pointed to the fat and thin pork belly on the case and said.
"Okay, wait, I'll help you chop the ribs, so that you can save yourself from going home and chop them again. The knife at home is dull and it's not easy to chop them." Butcher Zhang said enthusiastically after weighing the pork.
"You give me three kilograms of pork, and I want this too." Wang Dajiao looked at Ding Qiaoyun who was almost ready to buy it, and said quickly.
"What are you anxious about? I'll chop the ribs first, and you can't lose them." Zhang Butcher Zhang quipped.
"Yes, aunt, this cat and dog are not bad for a while, no matter how greedy this little boy is," Ding Qiaoyun said with a smile.
After the butcher Zhang chopped the ribs and wrapped them with the pork, Ding Qiaoyun knew that her aunt wanted her to pay the money for her. She thought that she didn't come back many times anyway, and she didn't take anything for her aunt. It was not a loss to pay the money for her. After all, it was her aunt. Even for her sake, she paid for the sake of her two younger brothers, Maodan and Gouwa.
"Uncle Zhang, let's do it. How much money is there in total with my aunt's?" Ding Qiaoyun said cheerfully.
Wang Dajiao was still thinking about how to speak. When he heard Ding Qiaoyun say this so simply, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that this child is not too dead, and he can save himself from speaking like this.
"Qiaoyun, I'll do it!" Wang Dajiao thought so in his heart, but he still said politely.
Ding Qiaoyun looked at her aunt and deliberately stopped talking for a long time.
"You kid is really true. You are so polite, so you pay!" Wang Dajiao saw that Ding Qiaoyun didn't say anything, and said quickly, for fear that she would regret it.
"There are 110 cents in total, but you bought so much at once, and only 100 cents are enough." Zhang Butcher Zhang looked at the two of them in embarrassment and finally said.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, please keep the money." Ding Qiaoyun said with a smile.
"Then let's go first, you can do it!" Wang Dajiao quickly took the three pounds of pork from the butcher Zhang and said with a smile.
On the way back, Ding Qiaoyun asked her aunt again about the marriage between Maodan and Gouwa. Wang Dajiao poured a lot of bitterness in front of Ding Qiaoyun, saying that no good girl was dead, and no one fell in love with her child or something.
After hearing this, Ding Qiaoyun thought to herself, she was afraid that she would not want to find out about a mother like this. Her aunt didn't know the reason for her.
As the two of them said, they soon arrived at Wang Dajiao's house. Wang Dajiao politely said something about going into the house to sit. Ding Qiaoyun thought to go home to cook quickly, so she refused her aunt's invitation.
"It seems that the old couple didn't talk to Qiaoyun. Fortunately, I emphasized at that time, otherwise Qiaoyun would not be the vegetarian. If you know this, you won't have a quarrel with me! I have no choice. The cat and the dog baby always have to get married, so I have no choice! It seems that when Qiaoyun leaves, I will talk to them again. Never tell Qiaoyun." Wang Dajiao murmured to himself.
