Chapter 6 Fundraising
In the evening, Xu Aibing, who came back in a thick fog and covered in mist, heard that the eldest aunt and grandmother had snatched their own chickens, and the second aunt and grandmother had beaten their daughter, and he felt bad in his heart.
But who made his family owe money to others?
It's just that the second aunt and grandmother want to tell her Yingzi to a fool, Xu Aibing said to his father that he can't let that person get close to his house in the future.
As for the money owed, he will figure it out as soon as possible.
A family of three each sat in the dim light with a broken bowl with a gap, blowing the cold wind, drinking the white rice porridge in the bowl with dried radish. is just this white rice porridge, and I am still willing to cook it because I think of Xu Yingzi to cultivate her body.
After the family of three finished eating, they each went back to bed early to cover their old cotton wool to keep warm.
And Xu Yingzi listened to the rain gathering on the tiles and dripping under the eaves, turning over and over again, she couldn't sleep, and she was always thinking about how to find some money for her family.
Yes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, I have also entered the city, thinking of the thing I saw in the city, Xu Yingzi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and his heart was even more excited and sleepy, just looking forward to the day to light up soon.
Finally, the rooster in the yard crowed a few times, Xu Yingzi quickly put on his clothes, wrapped his thickest torn cotton clothes around his body, and touched it out in the dim light.
I don't know when the rain stopped, but there was a hairy moon hanging in the sky at this time, and the morning breeze was blowing, carrying heavy moisture, which still made people can't help but wrap their clothes tighter.
"Yingzi, get up and go to the toilet?"
Sitting under the eaves, Xu Aibing, who was shaking the soil of the soles of his shoes, greeted his daughter in the blurred moonlight.
"Dad, why did you get up so early?" Xu Yingzi, who didn't expect Xu Aibing to get up, was really taken aback, and after seeing the wrinkles on his father's forehead deeper, he was even more determined to find his own money, for fear that his father would be suspicious, so he hurriedly waved his hand a few times and said, "I made an appointment with my eldest cousin yesterday, and I will go to the scene together today." ”
Forget it, today happens to be the 26th, and the day to catch up here is also exactly the 1st and 6th.
"Big cousin, ......" Xu Aibing dragged out the end of the note, looking at his daughter with some difficulty, and finally got up after the operation, why did he think about going out to catch up?
"Dad, I'm suffocated at home, go out to breathe, there is a big cousin here, you can rest assured," Seeing the uneasiness in Xu Aibing's heart, Xu Yingzi hurriedly spoke.
"Then don't go to crowded places," After all, the strong fatherly love still made Xu Aibing compromise, I saw him pull open the torn jacket on his body, took out something from the pocket of his close-fitting clothes, handed it to Xu Yingzi and said: "Yingzi, you can take the 10 yuan, and buy whatever you want to eat." ”
Knowing what the current 10 yuan means to his family, Xu Yingzi's nose was sore, and he endured it for a long time before he spoke: "I know, Dad!"
In Xu Aibing's caring eyes, Xu Yingzi took the 10 yuan and walked out of the courtyard gate in the morning light, until she walked to the path in the village, and the dog next door barked, and she dared to breathe loudly, for fear that her sour nose would be seen by her father.
Out of Xujia Village, Xu Yingzi really walked towards her cousin's house, and when she arrived near her cousin's house, she could only go around to the vicinity of her cousin's bedroom and shout in a low voice: "Cousin, cousin, cousin......"
"Yingzi?"
With a slight sound, the closed bedroom window opened, and a girl with a chicken nest head rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at the person squatting in her vegetable patch in the moonlight, and asked intuitively.
"Cousin, it's me," Seeing his cousin, Xu Yingzi's heart was much more steady, and he hurriedly stood up and greeted.
"Yingzi, why are you here? Come in, it's windy outside, blow yourself carefully," Hearing Xu Yingzi's response, Zhang Li was excited, she didn't fall asleep at all, she immediately put on her clothes, opened the back door of her bedroom and walked to the yard to bring Xu Yingzi in.
"Cousin, I have something to do and want to go out with you," glanced at Zhang Li's bungalow, listening to the echo of his own words, Xu Yingzi knew that this house was not very soundproof, and some words were not suitable for saying here.
"Okay, I'll go tell my dad," Zhang Li, who was nimble with her hands and feet, had already tied her hair behind her head and dressed when she was talking to Xu Yingzi, and was now squatting and tying her shoes.
"Dad, I'll go out with Yingzi today, don't wait for me to eat," he knew that Xu Yingzi must have something to do when he came to find him, Zhang Li didn't ask, and howled towards his father and stepmother's bedroom, while taking two big buns from the kitchen, stuffing one for Xu Yingzi, and without waiting for his father to respond, he pushed him out of the door.
"Zhang Li, where are you going to fool around, it's going to be the New Year, and you go out to the wild every day, leave me at home today to wash clothes," Zhang Li's father didn't answer, but Zhang Li's stepmother's loud voice rang out.
However, Zhang Li didn't seem to hear that, and pulled Xu Yingzi and walked forward.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Thinking of Zhang Li being beaten by her stepmother when she was a child, Xu Yingzi regretted coming to her cousin a little, for fear that she would hurt her.
"What are you afraid of? She is busy selling me for some bride price money now, she won't be too much for me, at most she will scold a few words, and I will pretend not to hear," shrugged her shoulders, Zhang Li said with a nonchalant expression.
Hearing Zhang Li say this, Xu Yingzi's heart was also a lot more relieved.
It's just that after Zhang Li's stepmother's voice, the dogs in the village woke up, and the whole village was surrounded by the hazy moonlight and the barking of dogs one after another.
"Where are we going?"
After walking blindly for a short while, Zhang Li suddenly realized that she didn't know why her cousin had come to her.
"Cousin, during the few days I was in the city, I saw that people in the city were buying something, guess what?"
The sky was getting brighter, and Zhang Li could already see the expression on Xu Yingzi's face.
"What?"
Zhang Li, who has always been full of curiosity, couldn't help asking.
"Blood vine. ”
"Can that thing be sold? We are all over the mountains here, and if we can sell it, wouldn't someone have already gotten to sell it?" Hearing the name Blood Vine, Zhang Li was happy, and the things that were everywhere were still valuable?
"Cousin, don't you know how lazy our people are here, and they are satisfied if they can stutter, where do they think about struggle? Besides, in addition to those who go out to work, how many people in our village have been to the city? Aren't they all staying at home every day watching TV and fighting the landlord?"
Seeing that Zhang Li didn't believe it, Xu Yingzi explained.
