Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"He's doing laundry at home. He'll come over after he finishes it."

Lin Guang's mouth twitched when he heard this.

cough......

The brother-in-law could barely accept that person. Anyway, he would never do the laundry unless there was no woman to take care of the laundry when he was away from home.

Lin Shu saw that each of them was carrying a bag of dirty clothes and asked, "Are you guys coming back from the construction site?"

Lin Guang nodded: "Yes, we will be doing the finishing work in Daquanpo Town in the last month of the year. After finishing, we can take a break and have a holiday this year."

After that, the two walked into the hall and were instantly shocked by a piece of pork placed on the table in the hall.

Lin Wei pointed at a piece of pork on the table, his lips moving, "Old, youngest, where did this pork come from?"

The meat coupons issued by their company every month were only four ounces, which added up to eight ounces for two people, not enough for them to eat.

During the two months since Lin Shu and Gu Jiu left, the family has been completely dependent on the eggs she left behind and the bacon she brought from her hometown, and they can even have meat from time to time.

Now that this piece of pork is placed here, it would be strange if it wasn’t scary.

Lin Guang's eyes widened in shock. "My God, this is the first time I've seen so much meat at home. When we slaughtered pigs for the New Year in my hometown, we only kept 30 to 40 kilograms of meat, and the rest was sold to the village stores. How could you keep all this meat?"

Lin Shu chuckled: "It's the twelfth lunar month now, and many people in the city want to make bacon. A friend of mine happened to find a native pig in the countryside, so he and I shared the pig."

Lin Wei reacted and put the bag of dirty clothes aside. "Are you buying so much meat to make smoked bacon?"

"Well, it's not easy to buy meat in the city at ordinary times. Why not buy some more cured meat while someone can get a pig at the end of the year?"

Lin Shu finished speaking and pointed to the sack outside the hall. "There are still thirty large grass carps there. Now that you are back, cut them up quickly and clean them so that they can be marinated together with the pork."

Wait for three to five days to marinate before smoking.

"And fish?"

Lin Wei's eyelids twitched. He strode over and opened the sack. Inside was a bunch of large grass carps that looked perfectly presentable.

Hiss! If we smoke all of this into bacon and fish, won’t we have enough meat for the whole next year?

When Liu Xiao'e entered the patio from the back door of the store in front, she saw Lin Guang sitting in the patio corridor cutting fish.

"Second brother, where did you get this fish from..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were focused on Lin Wei who was cutting up meat in the hall, "Boss, did you rob the old rich man on the way?"

Lin Shu had just come out of the kitchen with a kettle of hot water and couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

"Youngest, hey, when did you come back? Oh, why is your belly so big?"

Liu Xiao'e didn't care about the meat or fish anymore. She walked quickly to Lin Shu and stared at her belly excitedly. "Youngest, how many months is it? If I remember correctly, it should be about five months, right?"

"Mom, you're not mistaken, the doctor said that you're pregnant with twins." Lin Shu liked to see Liu Xiao'e screaming and shouting.

"Twins?"

"Oh, a double yolk egg, this is good."

Not only Liu Xiao'e was excited, but the brothers Lin Wei and Lin Guang were also happy for her. After she gave birth to a child, the youngest's position in the Gu family would be secure.

It's no wonder they have such thoughts. After all, in their eyes, Lin Shu, a country girl, is marrying into the Gu family.

Liu Xiao'e snatched the thermos from Lin Shu's hand and said, "Be careful during pregnancy. Don't lift these heavy things. We have so many hands here, what else do we need?"

Well, Lin Shu sat down. He didn't dare to say that all these things were obtained by her, otherwise, Comrade Xiao'e would be excited again.

"Mom, those two baskets are full of food. You have time to clean them out."

Liu Xiao'e took a look at the two baskets placed in the corner of the wall. Inside were either eggs or brown sugar, as well as a lot of fruits.

"When did you come back? Why did you bring so much food here? You are pregnant now, you should keep it for yourself. Why did you bring it to my place? I have no shortage of food here."

"I came back yesterday afternoon, but I was too tired from the long ride and didn't come. Mom, put these away and eat them slowly. I've left some for you, so don't worry about it."

"With so many eggs, why not keep them for making fried meatballs during the New Year?" Liu Xiao'e looked at the two plates of eggs with shining eyes.

Lin Shu stroked his forehead, "Comrade Liu Xiao'e, don't save the eggs. I'll ask your son-in-law to bring them to you after you finish eating them. There are several kilograms of brown sugar in that basket. You and my dad use brown sugar to boil eggs every morning. Didn't you say that your hands and feet are cold in winter? This is a good way to replenish your blood."

Liu Xiao'e took out the eggs and checked the things underneath. After hearing what Lin Shu said, she rolled her eyes at her and said, "Youngest, you have forgotten your roots after marrying into the city. Living frugally and managing the household diligently is the tradition of our Lin family."

Lin Shu rolled his eyes at her and said, "Just wait for me to slowly corrupt your firm faith in Taoism."

"Mom, what should we do with the meat? The youngest one said to use it to make bacon. Do you think it's okay to cut it into such a big piece?" Lin Wei was afraid that Liu Xiao'e's scolding would annoy Lin Shu, so he quickly interrupted.

Liu Xiao'e's attention returned to the pork. "Just cut it into a piece this big. Save the other two pork legs and stew one for your sister in the evening to nourish her body.

The other one will be hung outside and stewed the day after tomorrow. Also, take out a few ribs and I will braise them for lunch.”

After hearing that his mother had already made arrangements, Lin Guang asked, "Mom, do you want to chop up a piece of fish and cook it for lunch? Brother Jiu will be coming over for lunch."

Liu Xiaoe: "One fish is not enough, cut it into two. There are a few young men helping in the store. They are eating me out of money. They have big appetites. How can one fish be enough for so many people?"

Lin Shu sat by the stove, warming himself by the fire while watching Liu Xiao'e make arrangements.

Tsk, just now I thought she was a spendthrift, but now she is so generous in making arrangements.

When Gu Jiu came over, he saw his mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law busy at work as soon as he entered the room. Seeing the meat and fish in large basins, he raised his eyebrows at Lin Shu.

"Mom, eldest brother, second brother."

"Brother Jiu is here, come in and sit by the fire. You must be cold riding your bike here, right?" Liu Xiao'e hurriedly greeted her son-in-law and poured him a cup of hot tea.

"I haven't had time to ask, are you going back to the provincial capital for the New Year?"

Gu Jiu felt the cold wind all the way, drank a sip of hot tea, and replied: "Mom, we will spend the New Year in the county town and return to the provincial capital after the New Year."

"Happy New Year in the county town. When I have smoked the bacon and fish, you can bring some to your in-laws after the New Year." Liu Xiao'e smiled as she looked at the basin full of meat and fish.

Gu Jiu: "No, my mom and her family will prepare it for the New Year, and the meat and fish will be left for the family to eat."

Liu Xiao'e did not argue with him. After the bacon and fish were smoked and packed into their luggage, would this boy dare to pour them out?

She then asked about their situation in the provincial capital and her in-laws, and was relieved to learn that everything was fine.

Lin Shu pinched the flesh on the back of his hand under the table and winked at him.

hiss!

Gu Jiu kept smiling on his face and turned back to glare at her. Why were you pulling him for no reason?

Lin Shu kept smiling and talked about the New Year. He indicated that he should persuade Comrade Liu Xiao'e to spend the New Year in the county town.

It seemed that Gu Jiu did not understand what she meant, or perhaps he was pretending to be stupid, and kept chatting with Liu Xiao'e about family matters.

"Youngest, are you having a facial cramp?"

Liu Xiao'e looked at Lin Shu winking at Gu Jiu with a strange expression. If he had anything to say, he could just say it to his face. Why did he have to do this?

Can't she, as a mother, listen?

"Pfft!"

"Hahaha......"
