Chapter 4 Money

As the sun set, the last rays of the setting sun shone into a hospital bed by the window, where twins were already asleep exhausted.

Guan Youshou deliberately glanced at his wife, glanced at the patients on the other three hospital beds, asked her to take care of the children, and pushed his brother out of the ward.

Seeing that Ma Zhenzhong's back of setting up the ox cart and leaving gradually disappeared, Guan Youshou turned around and went to the toilet, squatted there and waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no one, he untied his belt.

- When the black oiled paper bag was opened, a small yellow croaker and a small bag resembling an amulet.

Guan Youshou touched the embroidery on the small bag, sighed deeply, and then carefully put it into the inner pocket of the jacket.

After standing up, he re-wrapped the oiled paper cloth and stuffed it into the waistband of his trousers, sighed again, rubbed his face, and resolutely walked in the direction of the hospital gate.

A courtyard in the county town was knocked on the gate, and a middle-aged man shouted who is it, and when he got the answer, he removed the bolt and revealed his face.

"Big nephew, get in quickly. ”

Guan Youshou was dragged by him, and hurriedly entered and closed the door with his backhand, "Uncle, I'll ask you for help this time." ”

"Let's talk about it when we come inside. ”

As soon as the two of them entered the East House, Guan Youshou untied the oiled paper bag and took out the small yellow croaker and put it in his hand, "Please change it for me." ”

"This is the little yellow croaker that I got from the ginseng in the early years?" the middle-aged man looked at him in surprise, "Okay, besides money, what else do you need?"

Seeing this, Guan Youshou nodded slightly, "I have to trouble Uncle you to keep it secret for me." If you have more food stamps, please give me more money. ”

"Understand, your father has rarely come to the door in the past two years. After speaking, the middle-aged man turned around and opened the kangqin, took out a wooden box from it and put it on the kang.

Seeing Guan Youshou turn his back, he smiled, took out a stack of cash and bills with his right hand, and took a few tickets into the box and added them.

"Big nephew, 150 yuan here, all the food stamps here are given to you, you order. ”

Guan Youshou grabbed it and hugged it tightly with a handkerchief and stuffed it into the inner pocket of the jacket, patted it, and said with a smile, "Don't count, I can trust my uncle." ”

"You kid can talk. The middle-aged man patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Why don't you send game over the past two years?"

"It's not a blind rush every day. Guan Youshou paused and said with a smile, "There should be time in the second half of the year, and I will have to trouble Uncle when the time comes." ”

"Hey, what's the trouble, the old rules, I'll eat as much as you want, and I won't let you suffer in terms of price. ”

After a few words of greeting, Guan Youshou said goodbye and left, walking on the road and thinking that if he broke up, he would really have to find a companion to go to the deep mountains and forests.

The 150 yuan on his body seems to be a lot, but he knows in his heart that once the family is really separated, his mother will be better, and his father will definitely not give him much of it.

Now there are two pots in a big family, and after the family is separated, they always have to buy pots, kitchen knives, or something, and they have to raise two little pigs, which cost money everywhere.

Guan Youshou looked enviously at the pedestrians carrying lunch boxes after getting off work on the road, and walked quickly to a state-run restaurant with only six tables.

At the urging of the waiter, he ruthlessly asked for a pound of cabbage and pork dumplings, which cost him four cents and eight cents, and also took six taels of food stamps.

The flowers are all spent, thinking of the daughter-in-law and children who rarely eat white noodles a few times a year, it just so happened that a young man asked for a braised pork with the object, and he gritted his teeth and asked for four white flour steamed buns.

After paying the food stamps and money and giving the deposit for the lunch box, while sitting there and waiting, Guan Youshou gritted his teeth in distress. If you buy your own white noodles, how much can you wrap?

This calculation seems redundant to the idea of wanting to stay in the county for a few days so as to make the family anxious. Alas, what a poor scary.

Holding the dumplings, Guan Youshou didn't bother to buy brown sugar first, and walked quickly to the hospital. The pedestrian I just met on the road sniffed hard, really worried that I would be robbed.

It can be seen that the life of the people in the city is not rich.

Ye Xiuhe pinched a food stamp and the cents in her hand and finally lined up for her turn, and successfully bought six nests, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as she entered the ward, an old lady who accompanied the bed hurriedly greeted her, "Eldest girl, there is a sick meal, why don't you buy it?"

The so-called sick meal, a bowl of noodles and a poached egg.

It's a precious thing.

Ye Xiuhe saw it just now, but it was not easy to say it bluntly, and smiled at the old man, "The child's father said that he would bring it over later, auntie, have you eaten?"

The old lady shook her head regretfully, and said with some hatred, "That's fine grain, and the supply in the city can't keep up with it." ”

Ye Xiuhe didn't know how the supplies in the city were distributed, but she didn't want to expose her ignorance. Not everyone is as enthusiastic as the old lady, and they pouted without looking at the other two patients' family members who accompanied the bed, as if their family came from the countryside and were inferior.

You have the ability to wear a little bit of scarf, isn't it all patched like her? There's a hot water bottle brought from home that looks like it's inlaid with gold.

What a stinky show!

She regretted her daughter's hospitalization a little, why didn't she bring more thoughts, just knowing how to pack two clothes, why didn't she know to bring a wooden plate or something.

It costs money to borrow a quilt, a basin to borrow, a cup to borrow money, and everything.

Just now, the kid's father stuffed a few dollars to himself and was about to toss up, and I don't know if that guy has changed the money now?

Ye Xiuhe folded the quilts for the two children, glanced out the window, looked at the sky and was about to go to the gate to take a look, when he suddenly heard familiar footsteps, and immediately smiled.

This person is not familiar with the place, but he is still his own man, and he has the bottom in his heart.

"What's wrong?" Guan Youshou smiled slightly at the patient's head, walked quickly to her side, and asked in a low voice, "An An didn't wake up in pain, right?"

"No, I'm tired, I've been sleeping until now, fortunately, my body is not hot, did I buy brown sugar? When she woke up, she had to drink to replenish her blood. ”

Guan Youshou winked at her, put down the steamed bun, lifted the lid with one hand, and approached the head of the bed with the lunch box, "Why is it so fragrant? It turned out to be a big dumpling." ”

Ye Xiuhe laughed happily when she heard this, and patted the quilt, "Wake up quickly, my mother will eat it in one bite when it's late." ”

Guan Tianyou shrugged his nose, immediately opened his eyes and sat up, rubbed his eyes, and asked in disbelief, "Dad, are they really dumplings?"

"Daddy can still lie to you? Hurry up, when Daddy feeds your sister, it will be your turn immediately. ”

Seeing that the chopsticks holding the dumplings were about to be stuffed in front of his eyes, Guan Ping'an secretly swallowed his saliva, quickly shook his head, and pointed at the two of them, "Dad will eat one first, and my mother will eat another." ”

Guan Youshou laughed heartily when he heard it, "You eat, Dad has eaten." ”

Guan Ping'an is not a real six-year-old girl, "If my father doesn't eat it, I won't eat it." She rolled her eyes as she spoke, "My brother doesn't eat either." ”

"I listen to my sister, Dad, eat quickly. ”

"Daddy, wait a minute, it's going to be cold, eat quickly. ”

Guan Youshou shook his head and smiled, stuffed the dumplings on the chopsticks into his mouth, and quickly grabbed a dumpling and stretched it out to his daughter-in-law's mouth......
