In the early morning, when Mao Xiaosui got up to drink water, he could still hear the noise outside.

She was very sleepy, so she pushed Li Yunshan, who went to get her water in the dark, drank it and fell asleep again.

_

When he woke up in the morning, the cotton clothes hanging on the clay stove were already dry. Mao Xiaosui put them on and went outside to the latrine.

Li Yunshan was standing by the wall. When he saw her coming out, he said, "There's no noise today."

"The noise lasted until midnight. We can't sleep until we start arguing again."

Li Yunshan laughed and went to the backyard to feed the chickens and rabbits and tidy up the pens.

Mao Xiaosui came out of the hut and stood listening for a while. After confirming that there was no movement, he went in to wash and cook.

After dinner, Li Yunshan went to the market. Mao Xiaosui put the chicken that had been melted in water at night into a pot and cooked it.

After the water boiled away the blood foam, two green onions and a few peppercorns were thrown in.

I added a fire to the stove, and when I went out to pull hay, I saw Li Xiao coming up with a basket.

She carried the firewood into the kitchen first, and then took a few large firewoods. After coming out of the woodshed, she saw Li Xiao coming in from the outside.

"Aren't you steaming steamed buns today?" she asked with a smile.

"It's just three cages. It's all steamed when we eat in the morning." Li Xiao smelled the smell coming from the kitchen and asked, "Are you cooking meat?"

"chicken."

"How many have you killed at your house? I smelled chicken being cooked at your house a few days ago."

"Just three roosters." She added a piece of firewood to the stove and took Li Xiao back to the house.

Clothes were hanging in the room, which made the room look dark.

Li Xiao asked in surprise, "Did you wash clothes yesterday?"

"It's too dirty. I'll feel better after washing it to celebrate the New Year."

"That's true." Li Xiao laughed, took out the bowl from the previous two days from the basket, and handed over a handful of dried beans, saying, "I dried them at home, and my mother asked me to get a handful for you during the Chinese New Year. "

"Thank you cousin, I didn't plant this year, but I regret it so much."

Li Xiao was amused by her and said, "I sold everything at home, so I just kept a few handfuls. When my mother went to the room to look for things this morning, she saw them and asked me to bring them to you."

"Auntie went to the market?"

"Yes." Li Xiao said, "Shi'er can't live without people. My body is also afraid of falling and freezing. It's hard work."

"Have you been good lately, Shi'er?"

"Be good." Li Xiao sighed, "If you don't be good, you will have to spend money again." After saying that, he immediately glanced at her face and said with a dry smile, "It's a small thing to spend money, but the child will suffer."

Mao Xiaosui pretended not to hear it, got up and poured a bowl of water for her, saying, "You look like you've lost a lot of weight. Have you vomited recently?"

"It's much better than before, and I can eat more." She looked at Mao Xiaosui and said enviously, "It's better for you. It's only been a few days, and my face looks a lot rounder."

Mao Xiaosui was shocked, stretched out his hand and pinched it, "No, right?" She didn't vomit very often, and she only ate the usual amount of food in a day, not to mention that she still had a baby in her belly, so she couldn't be fat.

"The face is very rosy." Li Xiao touched his face, which was very yellow. On the other hand, Mao Xiaosui's face was rosy and shiny, and he looked much fairer. He didn't look like someone who was pregnant with a baby.

She hesitated and asked, "Have you checked your pulse?"

"No." She shook her head, "What's wrong?"

"No." Li Xiao shook his head.

Mao Xiaosui got up and went to the kitchen to add firewood, and then came back with two dried fish.

When I was about to tear it apart and bake it, I remembered to ask, "Can you smell it?"

Li Xiao stared at the dried fish and nodded blankly.

Mao Xiaosui felt relieved, blew away the ashes on the clay stove, tore the dried fish into pieces and threw them directly on it to bake.

The smell of grilled dried fish was very fragrant. Li Xiao was a little embarrassed at first, but he let go after taking a few bites.

This thing was just a snack to satisfy her cravings. After baking two pieces, she had no intention of baking any more.

Li Xiao drank a mouthful of water and rinsed the residue in his mouth. He asked, "Does your fish get enough exposure to the sun?"

She shook her head. It was just a basket. She originally planned to sell half of it in the last episode of the year, but Li Yunshan saw that she liked it and kept them all.

"You have a lot of them at home, right?" she asked.

Li Xiao shook his head, "Just two, keep them for the New Year."

"Has your family bought meat?"

"Mom will buy it today." Li Xiao also asked, "Where is your home?"

"I won't buy it. With so much money, chicken is enough."

"There are three." Li Xiao's words were full of envy.

"They are all roosters, and they can only eat meat." Mao Xiaosui said, "When chickens are sold after the new year, you can buy two. They are cheaper than hens. They will be killed after they are raised for the winter. They are cheaper than pork and have more meat." "

Li Xiao sighed and said, "We don't buy meat. We buy two kilograms of suet. It will take longer to eat. We can also cook some vegetables. The family still owes a lot of money. There is a lot of chicken. I just bought the suet to eat it." One year.”

"That's true." Mao Xiaosui also laughed and said, "Our roosters are bought from hens, and we don't spend any money."

"That's okay." Li Xiao replied with a smile.

After sitting for a while, Li Xiao also wanted to go back to cook. She escorted him to the door. After they left, he went to the kitchen to fish out the chicken.

I ate a chicken stomach and drumstick while it was hot, and drank half a bowl of soup. I was about to clean up when Li Yunshan came in from the door.

She poured the chicken soup into a large basin, leaving a portion the size of a soup basin.

I washed some mushrooms and cabbage and threw them in to cook. I also threw in a few pieces of chicken and seasoned them with a little salt.

She poured the soup into a soup basin and carried it to the main room. Li Yunshan came in after feeding the chickens and rabbits and asked, "Is it for me?"

"I've eaten." She went to get two more buns and came back, padded them with grease and put them on the clay stove to heat, and then went to the kitchen to clean them up.

After she finished cleaning up, poured out the swill, and blocked the courtyard door, Li Yunshan had just finished eating. He washed the basin and chopsticks, poured the water into the courtyard, and put the dishes and chopsticks on the wooden shelf. The money box was taken out.

The family had saved a little more than one tael here and there, and with today's exactly one tael or four, there were still thirteen left.

The two of them strung together one hundred copper plates and put them away. Mao Xiaosui asked him, "Have you returned the ones from Brother Ding's house?"

"I paid it back." Li Yunshan said, "The business of the butcher shop is pretty good. Brother Ding gave me two pig feet. When the time comes to cook the bones, we will cook them together."

"Pig's feet?" She was a little greedy.

Li Yunshan glanced at her and asked, "Or do you just want to eat it today? This food is delicious and it sells the fastest every time."

"I'm full."

Li Yunshan nodded and said, "All his pigs were killed, and the pig's feet were originally intended for my sister-in-law to eat. These two are specially left for you."

"How embarrassing..." She smiled implicitly.

Li Yunshan also laughed after hearing this.
