The seven emotions and six desires are all my nourishment

After unloading the pork at home, Yaoyao sharpened the knife, and Butcher Zhang started to prepare the meat bones for his daughter.

The two of them worked quickly and stewed a large pot of bones and meat. The aroma wafted from far away and made the children next door cry with greed.

The father and daughter brought a pot of meat, and in unison, they rolled up their sleeves, sat on the bench, then raised one foot, grabbed a big bone without using chopsticks, and took a bite!

Um! So delicious!

The father and daughter were enjoying the meal very much, their faces were covered with little oil spots and looked shiny.

Bang, bang, bang, there was a very regular knock on the door. I knew it was Hua Xiucai as soon as I heard it. No, not Hua Xiucai yet, but Tongsheng.

Hua Xiucai's real name is Hua Jigan, and his brother's name is Hua Jixiang. Now his parents are still alive, and Hua Jigan is particularly favored and is not allowed to do any work. The whole family supports their brother-in-law who can only read, which makes his sister-in-law quite resentful, but she can only endure it.

Hua Jigan lived not too close to Zhang's house, about two streets away. It was probably not because he smelled the meat, but because he knew that his family was slaughtering a pig today, so he came.

After all, you don't see him usually.

He was the first to discover Zhang Yaoyao's good looks.

Yaoyao pretended not to hear and continued to eat meat. His father naturally did not remind her. In his opinion, this scholar was very shameless and always tried to deceive his daughter.

Only the bones were left on the table. Yaoyao wiped her mouth, drank a few sips of hot water, and felt better...

Bang bang bang, bang bang bang!

The knock on the door was rapid and angry.

Huh? You're willing to sacrifice your dignity for a bite of food? Still here? Okay, I have to give you a welcome gift, right?

Yaoyao suddenly stood up, smiling brightly, and wiped his face with the oil on his sleeves, "Ah, it's Young Master Hua who's here."

Butcher Zhang snorted. He had heard it a long time ago, but he didn't remind his daughter. He wouldn't leave anyway.

He continued to pick his teeth with his fingers without standing up.

Yaoyao ran over quickly and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Hua Ganji, who was very cold and had a blue face.

"Young Master Hua is here. What's the matter? Ouch, your hands are so cold!" Yaoyao's eyes lit up, and her hands uncontrollably grabbed Hua Ganji's hands and rubbed them continuously, rubbing the oil and sauce on her hands onto them.

Hua Ganji is indeed good-looking, a bit like Duan Yu played by Chen Haomin.

The little boy was wearing a cloth shirt and a square scarf on his head. His cheeks were flushed with disgust, and he looked like a shy puppy.

"Miss Zhang, there shouldn't be physical contact between men and women! Please respect yourself and let me go!" After saying that, he pulled his hand away forcefully. Yaoyao scratched her head embarrassedly, and then he let go of her hand. Hua Ganji slipped and fell to the ground.

"Ouch, why did you fall? What's with all that hand-in-hand kissing? Can I help you up?"

Hua Ganji said, "No need!" He stood up by himself. It was winter and he was wearing thick clothes, so it didn't hurt much, but he felt embarrassed, especially in front of a lowly person like Zhang Yaoyao. He glared at her secretly.

Hua Ganji looked bad. He had been freezing outside for a meal and then fell down. There was no way he would get better.

"I'm here to buy meat. Please give me some favor, Miss Zhang." I don't know what's going on with this damn girl. In the past, she could get a meal if she happened to come here, but today she was left freezing outside for so long!

Hua Ganji spoke arrogantly, his words were polite, but his actions and gestures showed that he looked down on Zhang Yaoyao.

"Come on, come on in. Dad, Mr. Hua is here to buy meat!" Zhang Yaoyao said and ran in.

Hua Ganji followed behind, looking at Zhang Yaoyao who was shouting and screaming with contempt.

Butcher Zhang held a knife in one hand and picked his teeth with the other, "Go wash the pot!"

Hua Ganji frowned as he watched.

Yaoyao "Oh!" Yaoyao ran back to the kitchen with a big basin. It was frozen outside. His family used boiled water to wash the pots, and they had to buy firewood with money, which was considered a luxury.

The aroma of leftovers rushed into Hua Ganji's nose, and Hua Ganji swallowed subconsciously.

"How much meat do you want?" Butcher Zhang frowned and asked again several times.

Hua Ganji finally reacted and naturally felt embarrassed and annoyed again, "Aren't you going to wait for Miss Zhang to come over?"

"What's wrong! Aren't you tired of taking advantage? Do you want to or not? Get out of here!" Butcher Zhang plunged his knife into the wooden block with a ferocious look in his eyes.

"The meat costs five cents, pick the fattest ones." Hua Ganji said weakly.

"Come on, five cents and you're picking the fattest ones. Okay, I'll cut it for you." As he said that, he picked up the knife and cut a bunch, which was exactly half a pound, no more, no less.

The Hua family is taking advantage of him, and he is also afraid that his daughter will make trouble with him, otherwise he will suffer the consequences!

At this time, pure fat costs ten cents per pound, and lean meat is cheaper.

A combination of fat and lean pork belly costs twelve coins, and the price varies depending on the part of the meat.

Hua Ganji's face flushed. He was not stupid, so of course he knew what Butcher Zhang meant.

After paying the money and picking up the meat, I wanted to leave.

Zhang Yaoyao called out to him, "Hey, don't go. Wait a moment, I'll get you two bones!" Then she continued to wash the pot.

Hua Ganji stood rooted to the spot, his feet still, his mouth saying "No thanks!"

The bang of putting down a basin drowned out his words, and then Zhang Yaoyao continued to work, sweeping the stove neatly and swiftly.

Over and over again, and then exhausted, that's what Hua Ganji is like. Now he won't leave, just wait.

[Eating free food and then forcing yourself to eat it, huh~] He tied two bones that his father and daughter had gnawed on with a straw rope and slid them over. "Here, bones are full of nutrition. Crack them open and savor them. I love them."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but grab Hua Ganji's little hand and touched two handfuls of pot ash. "Your hands are so beautiful. After all, you don't work. These hands are more beautiful than women's, so thin and white."

Hua Ganji suppressed his nausea and pulled his hand away. "Thank you very much. It's getting late. Goodbye."

Looking at Hua Ganji rushing out of the door, Butcher Zhang was quite satisfied. At least this time his daughter only gave him gnawed bones, hahahaha!

Before she could be happy, Zhang Yaoyao turned her head away sadly, "Daddy~~"

Butcher Zhang said cleverly, "Speak properly, you're disgusting. Just tell me what's going on!"

Zhang Yaoyao rushed to Zhang the Butcher angrily, hands on hips, "I don't care, I want new clothes this year too, with flowers, red or green, I don't want grey!"

"Look at that playboy, he looks more like a woman than me! I don't care! I want him!"

"And you, come with me to clean the house. Every household cleans now, but ours is like this. I just washed the pot, and the stove is already covered with a layer of dust! Get to work!"

Butcher Zhang didn't grasp the point at first, but he knew two things. One was that he was tired after a day's work, and the other was that his daughter felt that Hua Xiucai looked more like a woman than her, so his daughter wanted new clothes.

"Okay, okay, go do it, stop arguing. I'll be exhausted sooner or later!" It really wasn't good to see my daughter looking gloomy all day long, and I felt a little guilty.
