Chapter 412 If you don’t have money, tell me and I’ll pay you back
"Run slower, don't fall."

"How old are you? Don't you know your age?"

Chen Huihong shouted loudly and looked around the TV.

He touched here and there, and said with a smile:
"Hey, I have a TV! Next time your brothers Dian Hai and Dian Yang come back and see it, they will definitely be shocked."

Seeing her like this, Chen Hui no longer had any desire to work with her.

Ask An Wenjing to go to the old Chinese doctor's house to see if he has angelica, astragalus and wolfberry. If so, buy some back.

When An Wenjing heard that she had to buy medicine, she became nervous.

Come over and pull Chen Hui to look left and right.

"Brother Chen Hui, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Were you beaten by Uncle Yaozu's wife this morning and didn't feel comfortable telling him?"

Chen Hui was amused by her, "I'm fine, those are tonics, used to cook lamb legs."

Chen Huihong felt something strange.

If you think that pig legs can be cooked into rheumatism grass, then there seems to be nothing wrong with cooking lamb legs into tonic medicine.

I just asked out of curiosity: "Where did you learn this? Mutton is not easy to cook. If you don't cook it well, it will smell very stinky. How about I do it?"

“Of course I learned it in the county!”

"Don't worry, just help with the fire." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll light a fire and wait for the meal."

Chen Huihong went back to watch the TV before sitting on the other side of the stove to light the fire.

Chen Hui processed the lamb leg carefully again.

Use a machete to chop it into pieces, put it in a pot with cold water, add ginger slices and wine and blanch it.

Put it in the pot again and heat the water to boil.

This soup needs to be cooked for an hour first, then the herbs are added and cooked for another hour.

Two hours is enough time for Chen Hui to do other preparations.

"Let me tell you, this is new and much prettier than the old guy's!" Wu Shuisheng's excited voice came from outside the door.

Two neighbors followed him in, and after a brief greeting to Chen Huihong, they watched the TV on the table.

"It looks good, it's really good looking!"

"Mine is second-hand. When I bought it, one of the screws was broken!"

"This brand new one must cost around four or five hundred yuan, right?" Li Weiguo from the same village looked at it with envy.

"In the past, only the old man's family had a TV in the village, but now Wu Shuisheng has taken away this prestige."

"Shuisheng, was this TV bought by your son? He is so filial!" asked another villager, Wu Youjin.

Li Weiguo was unwilling to hear this, as he could not argue over the newness of the TV.

After thinking for a while, he said, "You bought it yourself, right? How could it be bought by his son? Both of his sons have children to raise."

"I didn't buy this myself, nor did my son buy it."

"Guess where it came from?" Wu Shuisheng asked, keeping the suspense.

Wu Youjin and Li Weiguo looked at each other.

I really can't think of it.

"Don't fool us, you must have bought it yourself."

"Who else could it be? It can't be that useless nephew from your wife's family, right?"

Li Weiguo opened his mouth and spoke out what was in his heart.

Wu Youjin was too late to stop him.

He immediately hit Li Weiguo and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Huihong is still here!"

Li Weiguo also reacted and looked at Chen Huihong carefully, ready to run away at any time.

Unexpectedly, Chen Huihong, who usually doesn't like to be talked to, was not angry this time.

He smiled at them and said in a friendly manner:

"You guessed it right. It was really bought by my useless nephew."

"I told him to buy a second-hand one, even one that was broken, but he didn't listen! He insisted on buying me a new one."

The earthen stove in Wu Shuisheng's house was very high, completely blocking Chen Hui, who was bending down to marinate lamb chops. He had not intended to say anything.

Hearing what Chen Huihong said, he burst out laughing.

"Who else?" Li Weiguo asked.

Chen Hui stopped what he was doing, walked to the other side of the stove, stuck his head out and waved at the two of them.

Chen Hui often went to Wu Shuisheng's house. They were not very familiar with each other, but they all knew each other.

Li Weiguo's face turned red all the way to his ears, and he said to Wu Shuisheng: "I, I, I, I have something else to do at home, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode away.

Wu Youjin was enjoying the show and laughed out loud.

"Eh?! Old deadbeat, don't leave! Aren't you here to help me figure out what size antenna to buy and where to put it?"

"Oh! They won't be angry, just come back quickly!"

Wu Shuisheng shouted loudly and chased out, and Wu Youjin followed him out.

After a few minutes, only Wu Shuisheng came back.

"What about them? Don't they care about the antenna issue?" After Chen Huihong finished speaking, she couldn't help laughing again.

He was a little disappointed that he couldn't watch TV, but when he thought about how they looked just now, Wu Shuisheng also found it quite funny.

He moved the TV aside and said with a smile:

"As long as Chen Hui is here, they will definitely feel embarrassed to come. We have to go to town to buy antennas anyway."

"I can't watch this TV today. I have to wait a few days anyway."

Seeing him put the TV on the low cabinet, Chen Huihong reminded him, "Move it to your room if you're not going to watch it. Don't walk around and bump into it if you leave it here."

"I'm tired now. We'll move in after dinner." Wu Shuisheng said with a smile.

"I didn't do anything today, why are you complaining about being tired?"

As Chen Huihong spoke, she stood up to move it, but was stopped by Wu Shuisheng.

The two pushed and pulled for a while, and Chen Huihong waved her hand helplessly and said, "It's up to you. If it breaks, you'll be the one to blame!"

"Then leave it here, don't touch it!"

Wu Shuisheng patted the TV happily.

Go out and find Wu Guang and the others, so that they won't forget to come over for dinner in the evening.

Chen Hui marinated the soaked lamb chops and put a large bowl aside for later use.

Started processing the pork again.

The fire in the stove was burning, and Chen Huihong strolled to the other side of the stove.

Looking at the meat everywhere, he asked, "Why did you buy so much meat? It must cost a lot of money, right? Why not treat them to a meal and catch some fish from the sea?"

"When you invite someone to dinner, you have to be sincere and offer food that you can't normally eat."

"Uncle Guang and the others have been very caring towards me, so it's no big deal to spend this little money." Chen Hui said as he cut the lean pork in his hand into thin slices.

"I know you can make money now, but you still have to spend it sparingly."

"If you don't have enough money, tell your aunt. Your uncle has saved some recently."

In the past, Chen Huihong always spoke these kinds of words in a low voice.

Speaking of this today, my voice is particularly loud!
"Don't be so loud, my uncle is out."

"so rude!"

Chen Huihong cursed with a smile.

"Brother-in-law! We are back! The mission is mostly completed!"

An Wenyi came in from outside shouting.

He snatched the angelica and astragalus from An Wenjing's hand and handed them to Chen Hui like offering treasures.

"I only bought these two items. How about I go to town to look for the other one?" An Wenjing asked.

"It doesn't matter, it's just for decoration, forget it if it's gone."

Chen Hui took the thing and smelled it.

Great stuff! It's totally different from what you'll find in drugstores decades later.
