Chapter 32: The Ministers
Guan Ping'an's small eyes glanced at the four women who were sitting around to collect the soles, sew patches, and rub hemp ropes, and saw her mother burying her head in the soles.
But her aunt was there with an embroidery needle embroidering the insole, and touched her abdomen from time to time, much like those women were pregnant.
Not only did she see this action, but even Aunt Guan saw it, and the others were silent, but her aunt couldn't hold it back, and muttered, "Look at it." ”
Her second aunt quickly glanced at her mother-in-law, and moved to her mother's side, as if this was the only way to feel at ease, which made Guan Xiaozhu, who was sorting out wild vegetables beside her, frown.
Aunt Guan didn't seem to see the movement below, and stared at her son as she could, "Why do you want to be so old and rich? What did the doctor say? I see that the child has not been very good in the past two days." ”
Guan Ping'an bowed his head and drank the porridge with a weak heart.
"There is no need to change the dressing for the wound, and the doctor told the child not to be tired, it seems that there is nothing wrong, but the foundation is still very empty. ”
Guan Youshou frowned, "Fortunately, the child is small, let's raise it slowly first, and I don't have to go to the hospital to waste money in the future." Mother, Xiaomei, don't be tired. ”
His words were greeted with a grateful smile from the three nieces who were sorting out the wild vegetables.
Seeing this, Aunt Guan didn't want to complain more about her son's spending too much money, which seemed that she was harsh on her granddaughter. She looked at the crowd wistfully and sighed.
"Then tomorrow Xiaomei will pick up at home, postpone it for a few days, and when the farm is busy, I won't let them work, and the team won't release people. ”
The eleven-year-old girl is already a big girl, but they don't go to work, but the reputation is not good, who wants a lazy woman to be a daughter-in-law in the future.
Guan Youshou also knew this, so he didn't say anything more. As an uncle, he did his best to speak justice for his niece.
His eldest brother often fishes for three days and dries nets for two days, and when it comes to the busy farming season, he only has five points a day, and he and his daughter have three points.
He doesn't feel distressed when he is Lao Tzu, and he can't even look at him as an uncle.
But what can be done?
Guan Ping'an hurriedly finished drinking the porridge, climbed down the stool with a nest head, and quickly slipped out of the hall. Stay in it for a while, and the more uncomfortable you will be.
But it was already dark outside, and if she went back to the room alone, she would need an oil lamp, and it was estimated that her grandmother would have to die of that gas money.
This one is really ruthless!
Not to mention the eggs sent by her aunt, her grandmother subsidized her own eggs, and let her second uncle go to the market a few days ago to sell them all.
In the past two days, a few old hens in the family have just laid eggs, and they are still warm, and she also went to the village entrance with her little feet to change a large grain of salt, and even her eldest grandson has no share.
I think I want to save her money for this visit. This mind...... It made her feel guilty for even eating a bite of eggs these days.
She retreated inside, moved a small bench and sat down beside Guan Xiaozhu and began to pick up wild vegetables.
It's not how much she likes the other party to sit next to her, but the little girl in the family, who is just clean, won't be too buried.
Lobby sister Guan Xiaomei didn't say it first, there is such a mother, Guan Ping'an has no hope for her. As for the second cousin Guan Xiaolan, she is quite clean.
But since she saw that the other party didn't wash her hands after going to the thatched house, she deserved to panic in her heart.
You must know that her grandmother was reluctant to use straw paper for the family, but shoveled the straw into small sections with a shovel to scrape the ass.
Even her uncle's three-year-old cousin knew what it was: a bite, a break, a thump, a fall.
One bite: Bite one end loose with your teeth.
One break: the straw that has been bitten by the teeth is broken into two pieces.
One hand: From left to right, or right to left, scrape off the poop.
A fall: I still need to say, pinched that end, shook it hard, and threw it into the pit.
Of course, there are still old people in the tun who will keep it for next time. I heard that straw belongs to the collective property of the production team, and it also costs labor to buy it.
Fortunately, her grandmother hasn't slammed the door to this point, but I don't know if this day will come for the three hundred yuan of Guan Si.
She once pondered a question, why didn't her parents save up for private money a few years ago? Well, it is estimated that they bought straw paper for the small family.
Her mother Ye Xiuhe can endure anything, but she can't bear this.
When others go to work, they run home to go to the toilet so that the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and her mother can't stand to just pick up a handful of grass or find a few leaves.
In her words, she felt uncomfortable and always smelled of feces on her body.
"Milk, my aunt has a body, should we raise a few more chickens?"
Guan Ping'an glanced at Guan Xiaozhu, and finally couldn't hold it back.
"What to raise, there are enough at home. I'll talk to the team in a few days, see if I can do a sheep herding job for you, earn more work and more food, don't keep worrying about a few eggs. ”
"Huh?"
"Ahh
Guan Xiaozhu looked at her again and again, and wanted to say that Liang Zhihong started school last fall, can he also do it?
Zhao Qiuyue raised her head happily and looked at her mother-in-law, "Mother, can it be successful?" There are a lot of little girls in Tunli, and all families are waiting for this job. ”
"Go back and let your brother and sister talk to her mother, I'll go to the captain's house again to talk to his mother, no matter what, I have to say hello first." ”
Zhao Qiuyue smiled gratefully at Ma Dujuan and said, "My mother and my younger siblings will be able to do it together, and I'm worried about what Nizi can do." ”
As soon as her mother's words came out, Guan Xiaozhu's courage that she had finally mustered was suddenly dispersed, and now if she opened her mouth to study, it would be even more hopeless.
Sheep are herded!
She bit her lip: it's just right to hand it over to the second foolish cousin in the fall. In this family, if anyone doesn't let her go to school, she will fight with whom!
Guan Ping'an kept peeking at her expression, thinking that this lonely ghost was very interesting, and he turned off the fire as soon as he started, and he still used her fourth aunt as an excuse?
If it were normal, Ma Cuckoo might be coaxing, but at this juncture, there are those 300 pieces placed here, how dare the other party.
It's better to get closer to the eldest aunt, and under the pretext of the three gold and three brothers, Liu Chunhua will definitely jump up.
It's a pity......
Guan Xiaozhu bumped her elbow against her in-law Guan Xiaolan: Now don't you talk about going to school, when you say it? Wait a minute, when the third uncle enters the back room, who else will speak for her?
Guan Xiaolan was bumped by her, frowned, and moved to the side: What's the matter with this sister?
I had to force myself to agree to go to school in the commune, my father and mother were so tired from working every day, they didn't help as daughters, and they did their best to be mischievous, why were they so ignorant.
Guan Xiaozhu saw that she was still dodging, and immediately glared at her fiercely in anger. What are you afraid of, don't say that you don't care about your sister in the future!
