"Look at you, it's only been a month and there is a handful of bones left, what do you say you want? Really lie down one day, who feels sorry for you? No one came out in the middle of the night to follow. ”

"It's my mother who won't let them follow ......" said, Aunt Guan sighed, "San'er, what do you say my mother should do?"

Guan Youshou patted his daughter's hand and paused.

"Did my father say something again?" Guan Youshou put down the girl in his arms, "Why don't I guess?"

Guan Ping'an glanced at Aunt Guan, turned around and entered the house - blinded her father's filial piety!

"Your father didn't say anything, it's just that I'm annoyed, and I want to share the grain, what can your brother do this year? I asked your second brother, and he was choked enough. ”

Guan Youshou lowered his eyes, hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, "The fourth child can save so much private money, it can be seen that he is also a capable person, he will tell you the truth? What is my second brother still enough to choke? When will he not get full work one day, and his daughter-in-law has the ability, what are you worried about?"

Aunt Guan shook her head, "The fourth child has great ability, and it will be difficult for him now, his daughter-in-law is going to give birth, what is enough for that little work?"

A hint of gloom flashed in Guan Youshou's eyes.

"Your second brother has borrowed a lot of grain, and when he returns it, he will replace it with sweet potatoes, and I don't know if he will survive the spring of next year. ”

Guan Youshou smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Your eldest brother, my mother won't talk about it. Now your life is better, and fortunately you don't have to worry about your mother, otherwise your mother is not interesting to live, it is better to die early. ”

"Mother, don't say these words, it's difficult for my son, my son just doesn't want you to worry, fortunately I have the work of that wild boar, otherwise. ”

Aunt Guan's face sank, "You go on." ”

"Say what?"

"Aren't you crying poor?"

Guan Youshou shook his head decisively, "I don't want to say it, it's all tears if I talk too much." ”

Guan Damiang laughed angrily and shouted: "Say!"

"Really?" Guan Youshou glanced at her hesitantly, "My son really doesn't want you to worry." ”

Aunt Guan immediately stretched out her hand to pinch ......

"Stop!" Guan Youshou leaned back to avoid it, "I said, I said okay." ”

"Humph!"

Guan Youshou shook his head with a wry smile and looked around the courtyard, "Do you really think your son lied to you? Forget it, I'll settle an account for you." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the outhouse, "I don't have a lot of water tanks and three large tanks, so I have to ask for thirty yuan, right?" I only took a handful of iron catalpa when I split the family, and now I don't have many hoes, axes, iron rakes, wood knives and kitchen knives at home, I don't have many of them, I always need fifty or sixty, right?"

Mrs. Guan followed his hand and looked at the outhouse.

"With the miscellaneous vegetable jars and two locks, even if it is a hundred yuan here, I still owe the team money for buying this yard. There are also flashlights and horse lanterns, and I buy salt or something, and I add a little more, and I'll be one hundred and fifteen, isn't it too much?"

Mrs. Guan looked at the drying rack against the wall.

Without the old lady to speak, Guan Youshou glanced at him knowingly, "Of course, our two children did save some money by selling medicinal herbs, but you also know that your son is used to spending money lavishly, and I bought a raincoat all of a sudden, and the others paid off the debt in the team." ”

Aunt Guan stared at him suspiciously, "You still owe more than a hundred?"

"The fraction has already been repaid, and I am not worried about these debts. I really can't do it, so I go outside to take on carpentry work, and I can exchange mountain goods for money. I'm so worried at the moment, what should I do with the family's rations in the coming year?"

Saying that, Guan Youshou bit his lip, "I really don't blame you and my father for this, I said okay when I split up, and I should go down, and now I will say this, don't take it to heart." The previous ration must not be enough to eat, mother, you should also have a bottom in your heart. As for me, I have been borrowing it for less than half a month since I moved here. Starting from Dazhong, to Dafa, a few of them, who can borrow, have all borrowed from them one by one, and a few have even changed a round of borrowing next to each other. ”

Aunt Guan immediately pulled down her face.

Guan Youshou glanced at her, "Mother, don't worry, I've thought about it, I will return the grain to them first after distributing the grain this year, and I will talk about it later." ”

Aunt Guan stared at her son, but repeatedly remembered her wife's words - in less than a year, our third child not only has the most rations this year, but also has at least 300 yuan in cash.

But what about money?

Guan Youshou lowered his eyes and fell silent.

For a while, the mother and son sat quietly, causing the eavesdropping ladies in the inner room to look at each other.

Aunt Guan's voice sounded again, breaking the silence, "Why didn't you count the two pigs?" I don't think you have to have two hundred catties by the end of the year. ”

Guan Youshou glanced at her in surprise, and reacted so quickly? It seems that the old man has weighed his family background several times.

"Can't speak?"

Guan Youshou was silent for a moment, "Mother, why don't you ask me where I got the money to buy piglets?"

"What do you mean?"

"I first asked Brother Zhang for credit, and then my father-in-law found out, and he paid back the money for me. Oh, even those chickens and geese are his money. Originally, he wanted to buy a little lamb for An An, and he also wanted my brother-in-law to make up some debts for me first, but I pushed them all back.

If I want it again, won't I become the son-in-law of their Ye family? It is better to move to the Ye family fort as soon as possible. I've thought about it, I'll give him back the money, he definitely doesn't want it, and I'll pay him back a pig when I go back. ”

Guan Youshou glanced at the old lady's face, "The remaining pig was handed over to the male, and the extra money was just enough to buy two more piglets, and next year it will be raised for another year, and the year after next will be much more relaxed." ”

Aunt Guan immediately turned her head to glance at the East House, and then slashed her son several times with a knife in her eye, "Why did I give birth to you stupid bastard! ”

Guan Youshou smiled, "It's okay, you can always get through it, fortunately, the two children are still young, and the family has worked hard in the past few years, and they can always save money." ”

"I'm so angry, I have to break up the family, it's better not to split the family than not to divide the family, you look at your life, what do you want?"

"The picture is free. ”

Aunt Guan immediately stood up, "You are at ease, but my poor grandson's family is gone." Tell me how you come from?"

Frightened, Guan Youshou hurriedly raised his hand, "Don't get excited, don't be excited, I just said I don't want to tell you, you have to listen." Don't worry, your son can handle it. ”

"Your father also said that you can save at least 300 yuan, so that the old lady is happy in vain, you dead boy, come here, see if I don't strangle you!"

Guan Youshou hurriedly flashed to the side and waved his hands again and again, "Mother, the old man has been old and confused for a long time, why do you still believe his words? ”

"Come here!"

Guan Youshou shook his head decisively, "No! it hurts!"

Aunt Guan immediately turned around to find a stick, "If you don't hurt you, you won't have a long memory, if the old lady doesn't beat you to death today, the old lady will not be the ...... of life"

"You were born to my grandmother, you can't wronged my grandmother. Before leaving, my grandmother said that as long as you beat me, I will be surnamed Liu with my grandfather. ”
