Chapter 371 They must also be nice to Aunt Shuiqing!
Hu the butcher followed his daughter and waited until she left before he sighed happily: "It's good to have people.
You see, you have more than 20 people now. Even if your mother and I are not here, you don't have to worry about the animals in your family.
If there is anything, just say hello. You don't have to work hard yourself, and you can fill the vacancies in the village from time to time."
Of course, the last one always depends on the situation. In the past, there was basically no help, but this time the situation was critical, so he helped if he could. It was good for the people in the village and also for his own side.
He understood it in his heart.
Shuiqing agreed with her father from the bottom of her heart!
This place is not like China, where clothes have washing machines, rice cookers for cooking, and gas for frying. If you really don't want to cook, you can order takeout. In the village, everything depends on hands and manpower. If it weren't for Dani and the other 23 people, her family couldn't finish the work in the mountains and fields at home even if they were exhausted.
Holding a funeral for the mother-in-law can better reflect the benefits of having many servants at home.
On ordinary days, it would be a matter of helping the village, but now there are several funerals at once. Whether it is carrying the coffin or preparing the funeral banquet, she is not in a hurry. The man over there carried the coffin from his uncle's house and buried it directly, and the woman over here prepared several tables of food. It was very quiet and easy.
The father and daughter walked towards the village entrance while chatting in the sunset.
Shuiqing first sent the food to Fan Jin while it was still hot. She was not worried that Fan Jin would be hungry, because she had secretly bought five-spice beef jerky and scallion biscuits from the mall and secretly stuffed them into his mouth. He always knew to eat when he was hungry.
Then she handed the quilt and pork jerky to Wu Gousheng and Zhang Xiaogou on the embankment.
The man and the woman were the ones who rushed to the front last night, and they were also the ones who suffered the most injuries. Guarding and patrolling could only fall on these young boys.
Unexpectedly, these young boys were particularly excited, as if they were recognized by the adults, and they did it very seriously, which made Shuiqing and the villagers look at them with admiration.
Wu Gousheng and Zhang Xiaogou took the thick quilt in a daze, and only when they touched the soft quilt cover did they realize that the material was still cotton cloth!
Zhang Xiaogou had been covered with a hard, black, thin and broken quilt since he was a child. As soon as he got the soft and thick quilt, he was stunned and stood there. It took a long time for him to react and asked: "Aunt Shuiqing, is this for us?"
Such a good quilt, just take it out for two outsiders to cover? It's so considerate to give each of them a quilt!
"Yes, the weather is cold, and it's even more windy at high altitudes. Many people will be warm if you put on the quilt to block the wind." Shuiqing said with a smile.
She bought the thick quilt specially from the mall. Wu Gousheng and Zhang Xiaogou were just children in China, but they were already used as adults in the village.
Zhang Xiaogou's chapped palms touched the cotton quilt, afraid that the cotton cloth would be scratched, but he still couldn't believe it.
Why is Aunt Shuiqing so generous? They were just outsiders, and his father and uncle Jin and aunt had always had a bad relationship, but Aunt Shuiqing not only did not treat him harshly because of his father, but also sent him a quilt.
Wu Gousheng had never covered himself with such a good quilt before, and he touched it again and again with excitement.
Shuiqing took out the pork jerky and steamed buns she had bought in advance and handed them over: "By the way, it's easy to get hungry if you stay up late at night, so I made some food for you two to fill your stomach at night."
They were still children, especially at the age when they were eating their parents out of money and had a very good appetite. If they couldn't sleep all night and didn't eat something, they would easily get hungry and have stomachaches.
Wu Gousheng and Zhang Xiaogou didn't even dare to stretch out their hands this time.
They only borrowed the quilt for one night, and it would still belong to Aunt Shuiqing tomorrow or when the village was no longer in danger, but they couldn't return the food, so how could they ask for it!
Shuiqing saw that the two did not take it, knowing that they were sensible and did not dare to take it, so she stuffed it directly into the hands of the two children, not forgetting to explain: "The pork jerky was made when there was more pork before, you two can taste it;
The steamed buns are steamed at home, and there are only four left if you can't eat them. It's not much, so take it if you don't mind."
The two teenagers pursed their lips tightly, looked at the steamed buns and meat jerky in their hands, and thanked them in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Aunt Shuiqing."
How could it be so difficult to eat? These are steamed buns made of white flour.
And they just saw Hu Wenhua and the three people from the Ding family go back. They haven't eaten yet, how could these steamed buns be left? They were clearly brought to them in advance!
As for the pork jerky, it's real meat, not to mention.
How can Aunt Shuiqing be so good to them... No wonder the old village chief and the people in the village trust Aunt Shuiqing the most! They also have to be good to Aunt Shuiqing!
When Ding Heli and Hu Wenhua returned home, Hu's mother hurriedly brought the hot food from the pot.
Ding Heli and Qin Yilin held the hot rice bowls and ate the rich dishes ready-made. They felt that all the fatigue of the whole day had disappeared!
They didn't need to go there again at night, but they had to get up early tomorrow morning to change the medicine and so on. Hu Wenhua also wanted to help. The few people didn't dare to delay, so they packed up and hurried to sleep.
The next morning, smoke rose from every household in the village.
On weekdays, there were usually two meals during the slack season, one at noon and one in the evening, but this morning they had to work hard, and they couldn't do heavy work without eating enough.
Hu's mother got up earlier, and cooked a pot of red bean porridge and a large basket of flatbreads with the head of the family in the dark. She also picked up the tea eggs cooked last night and brought them over with bowls and chopsticks as breakfast.
Shui Qing Fan Jin and a few children certainly couldn't finish so much food, and this was also counted as the amount of helpers.
Shuiqing distributed cakes and tea eggs to the men and women who came to help. Fan Dazhu watched and could only swallow his saliva. He tried to hold back and did not extend his hand.
They agreed yesterday that they would eat their own food. Since they didn't give Second Aunt's family food yesterday, they naturally couldn't eat their food today.
It smelled so good.
Those were white flour pancakes, and the eggs were cooked with tea leaves. There should be more than just tea leaves. How could tea leaves alone make such a fragrant taste!
The people who helped didn't expect to eat white flour pancakes and tea eggs so early in the morning. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, they would have smiled and thanked them. They took them silently and ate them in big mouthfuls.
Shuiqing also gave one to Sizhu.
Erzhu and Sanzhu's eyes were almost glued to them.
They watched Zhaodi drinking hot porridge and eating tea eggs, and watched Sidi eating pancakes and tea eggs, and couldn't help drooling.
Fan Dazhu's eyes were full of disapproval. How could Second Aunt still be so bad at living? Such good food was actually given to outsiders who helped!
But the yard was full of fragrance, and the three of them swallowed their saliva and looked away.
Wait a little longer, when tofu rice was served at noon, they could also eat tofu.
As Uncle and Auntie are generous, they must have rice to go with it, and maybe even meat!
They can have a good meal at noon without spending any money!
