"I said, Dad, Lihua, have we forgotten something?"

Liu Zhaodi stopped at the kitchen door and asked with a frown.

"Didn't we go to Xia Qiu to ask for money......?

She looked at the snails each of them were holding, "How come we only need to get so many snails?"

Wang Lihua and Xia Shixun also realized it later, and their faces were blue and white. Just now, they wanted to use filial piety to educate Xia and Qiu as usual, and let them hand over the money. Who knows, Xia Qiu's girl has become smarter, but she has dizzy them.

"Then what should we do? Could it be that we turn back?

"Come back another day. Xia Shixun said indignantly.

The spicy smell of snails lingered on the tip of his nose, and he actually wanted to eat them even more now. What's more, he will be able to give it sooner or later, and it won't be such a day.

"Well, anyway, the money, we have to try to get them to hand it over. Liu Zhaodi said in a low voice.

"Dad, the three girls born by my sister-in-law will be someone else's family in the future, and my grandson and Lihua's grandson are the future of our family, you have to think more about your two grandchildren, they will all be in college in two years, and they must save money. ”

"The second sister-in-law is right, as long as my Xia Jie and the second sister-in-law's Xia Qiang come out of college in the future, they will not be able to glorify our ancestors. ”

The two concubines sang and partnered, and they cooperated very tacitly. Although these two daughters-in-law are not good and unfilial, Xia Shixun was still coaxed by them properly. Who let him have only two grandchildren now? If he doesn't plan for them, for whom? As for those girls, what do you want so much money for? In other words, those girls should pay for his two grandchildren, and all good things should be handed over to them.

In the simple and cramped room, the three sisters of Xia Qiu and Li Cuifen sat around the square table. On the table, there are already hot snails and steaks, as well as green vegetable soup.

"Look at you, why do you still buy steak? How expensive is steak? It's a few dollars a pound. Li Cuifen looked at the steak, there was no joy, only distress.

Xia Qiu leaned slightly and whispered in Li Cuifen's ear: "Mom, we sold snails today and made a total of 55 yuan." ”

"What?, fifty ......" Li Cuifen exclaimed, but before she could finish speaking, Xia Qiu hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Mom, be quiet. She reminded in a low voice, her eyes looking out the door.

Li Cuifen didn't expect Xia Qiu's meaning to mean something? She nodded hurriedly and asked in a low voice, "How can you sell it for so much money?"

She also knew that Xia Qiu wanted to sell the dozens of catties of snails she picked up, and she thought that she could only sell them for a few yuan at most, and it would be good if she could sell them for ten yuan. Who knows, it was sold for more than 50 yuan. More than fifty yuan, she can't earn it in a year.

"Fifty-five yuan?" she grabbed Xia Qiu's hand, still in disbelief.

"Xia Qiu, how do you sell it?"

Xia and Autumn were indispensable, and told them how they sold snails.

"Mom, your daughter's fried snails are delicious, I don't believe you can taste it, you can sell it for this money, it is well deserved. She hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and smiled proudly.

Li Cuifen smelled the snail and it was really good, she took one and ate it. It's okay not to eat it, but as soon as she eats it, the fragrant and spicy taste invades her taste buds.

"This snail...... It's really delicious. She couldn't help but admire.

Xia Qiu's smile became more and more bright and proud, "That's right, right? In fact, there are also rich people in this town, and many people are willing to buy snails for five cents a pound." ”

"My sister is amazing, I just went to the market and shouted loudly, and let people try it, and I sold out the snails at once, and I will follow my sister to make money in the future. Xia Yu ate a snail and muttered.

Xia Xue stepped forward, put one hand on Xia Qiu's thin shoulder, and said, "Sister is a master of selling things, in the future, our family will not worry, sister, make some money in the future, buy me new clothes." ”

"You kid, you know new clothes every day, if only you were so interested in studying. ”

Li Cuifen smiled with relief, hearing Xia Xue say this, she couldn't help but count her down. The days of their family, now that they are seeing, are really getting better, and her dim eyes are much brighter.

Xia Xue stuck out her tongue at her, and she didn't think she was too naughty.

"We ate first, and then we didn't eat, and the dishes were cold. ”

At this dinner, Li Cuifen burst into tears. She had forgotten how long it had been since their family had had eaten such a sumptuous dinner. Or rather, she hasn't eaten meat a few times since she got married. Every time they have a little meat in their house, they will be taken away by Liu Zhaodi or Xia Shixun, and she has no choice. Now that Xia Qiu has grown up, she can finally stand up for their family, and she no longer has to be oppressed by them.

After dinner, all the dishes on the table were swept away, and there was nothing left.

"Mom has lived for most of her life, and it's the first time I've eaten so much meat. Li Cuifen, who put down the chopsticks, sighed.

Xia Xue took out the more than fifty yuan that had been sorted out and said, "Mom, we can eat like this often in the future." ”

Li Cuifen looked at the money on the table, scattered and scattered, and she had mixed feelings.

"You three children, you have grown up, and I will not worry about it in the future. She cautiously looked at the closed door, "But this money, you better hide it, if you put it here with me, maybe your grandfather and the second aunt and the third aunt will not come and rob it, you take it and hide it in a place where they can't find it." ”

Xia Qiu didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll take this money first, and when school starts, the money will be tuition, and we will continue to find a way to make money tomorrow." , the tuition fees of our three sisters, these days will definitely be earned. ”

"Sister, give me a dollar. Xia Xue smiled with a small expression on her face. Although Xia Yu didn't say anything, her eyes also flashed with expectation.

"You girl, what do you want money for?" Li Cuifen scolded.

"You've also worked hard all morning, and you should be given some pocket money. Xia Qiu found two pieces of one dollar and gave them to Xia Xue and Xia Yu respectively.

"Mom, Xia Xue and Xia Yu have helped a lot, it's so hard. ”

Li Cuifen heard her say this, sighed, and didn't say anything more.

Xia Xue and Xia Yu, who have money, show a bright smile, like a flower blooming.

After lunch, the sun was blazing as if it was about to scorch people, and Xia and Autumn had the habit of taking a nap, so they went to the room for a nap. When she woke up, Li Cuifen and Xia Xue didn't know where they went. The heat was gone, and it was close to four o'clock in the afternoon. Xia Qiu saw that there was no one at home, so she immediately turned the lucky bead and dodged into the space.
