In the following days, Qiu Niang became more and more busy, and when she didn't stop like a spinning top, she found something to do for herself, it turned out that Shi Gui was running to settle accounts and buy vegetables, she took it all over, and dealt with vegetable sellers and butchers to bargain for meat and vegetables.

Although Qiu Niang didn't say it, Shi Gui knew that she was sad, and she didn't have time to think about these things when she was busy, so she found something to do, and she wanted to teach the green calyx to learn to calculate, so she also taught Qiu Niang, and at night, the room was full of the sound of planning to coil beads.

Qiu Niang originally felt that she didn't have to learn anymore at this age, she was always afraid that she wouldn't be able to remember it when she was old, and she would make jokes, so she couldn't take care of it a lot, it was easy to practice for a few days, and it was not a problem to add and subtract, and the daily account was a green calyx once, she counted once, and Shi Gui checked it again.

Really after this experience, she refused to swallow her anger, Ah Zhen secretly told Shi Gui that every time Qiu Niang bought vegetables, she would go to the teahouse to sit and listen to the next two paragraphs of "Reunion Story", what the book said was not much different from what the stone told him, but there was not much ink on the affairs of their mother and son.

As long as Qiu Niang thinks that Xizi is sold, her teeth chatter, and when she reunites with her children, she always feels unstable, and she is still on the water in her dreams at night, and the boat is shaking, and Xizi is on the side of the boat, and shouts to her heartbreakingly, how can she stand it when she is a mother, as long as she thinks about how he has suffered, how can she not calm down this breath in her heart.

She held her breath and refused to spit it out, Shi Gui didn't force her, she didn't even mention Xizi, Shi Gui could say a few words to him: "What if Dad comes back with grandma?" Xizi took out the book from the blue cloth schoolbag: "What our husband taught, repay grievances with virtue, how can we repay virtue?"

Shi Gui sighed, she still remembered Xizi's appearance when she was a child, and said that she saw her old at the age of three, and at that time Qiu Niang was afraid that his temperament was like Shi Dad, and he was bullied when he grew up. ”

The family still lives a normal life, but Qiu Niang no longer asks about repairing the house, and entrusts it all to Xiao Niangzi, and specially tells her: "These craftsmen are all men, and it is inconvenient to talk about the affairs of my family." ”

Xiao Niangzi is not tight-mouthed, not tight, she is still counting on Qiu Niang to give her the money to work, listen to their meaning, the city is still thinking of opening a restaurant, near the water and the building first gets the moon, how can this errand be taken care of, close her mouth like a clam shell, no matter how the stone asks, she only shakes her head, pretending to be stupid.

Xiao Niangzi came to Qiu Niang a day to report how the project was, when the house was bought, it was righteous, and there was not much to repair and change, the wall was painted, the windows were installed, and it was easy to settle the salary, Xiao Niangzi made a difficult mistake again, she was able to take over this matter, that is, she was more clever than others, and she didn't ask Qiu Niang, but pulled Shi Gui: "The new one recruited, refused to take the salary, the first five days of work, a total of 400 Wen, he refused to ask for a penny, how is this good?"

As for who that person is, Xiao Niangzi didn't ask a word, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and one family comes in turn, and the three sentences and two sentences of the "Diamond Sutra" read at home are finished, and the "Great Prajna" read at home is not finished with a hundred volumes, and she doesn't have the leisure to listen, so it is best to take over the work of beating furniture.

Father Shi refused to ask for money, but he had to give this money anyway, Shi Gui pulled Xiao Niangzi: "Lady wants to think about it, no matter what, this money has to be given." "I don't need money and I have to work, what to eat and drink, and I have to pay ten cents a day in the cold and warm shop, and there is no reason to live in vain.

The temper of the stone, Xiao Niangzi said the flowers with one mouth, but he just didn't speak, he only lowered his head to work, and he didn't know where the momentum came from, so he cleared the grass in the cracks of the green bricks on the ground, and he also replaced a few broken pieces, Xiao Niangzi asked him the price, and he refused to say.

Shi Gui looked at Xiao Niangzi's face embarrassed, how could there be any money in the world who didn't want it, and patted her hand: "Auntie bothered, he didn't want it, and we couldn't stop giving it." ”

Mrs. Xiao had inquired before, saying that he had an old lady who lived in the cold and warm shop, otherwise he would have gone to run the boat earlier, so he had an idea: "He refuses to ask for it, and his wife has to be willing to ask for it, I will do it well, the house is cleaned up, and I have to pick an auspicious day for the zodiac, please take a look at Mr. Feng Shui, moving the house is a big deal." ”

Shi Gui was stunned, and he really didn't want to hand over Daddy Shi's hard-earned money to Mrs. Yu, so he thanked her: "The family is not complete yet, and when you want to move, you will have to invite your aunt to come over for dinner." ”

Mrs. Xiao smiled and was about to leave, but Shi Gui pulled her again: "Auntie will run for me, go and see what the charter is, the money will be given for the first day, and the remaining four days will be said." ”

Xiao Niangzi's eyes rolled, and she understood a little in her heart, if she was not strict-mouthed, Shi Gui would not point out such a road to her, Ma Li responded, knowing that this was to be calculated clearly, and made up the money for those few green bricks, a total of four hundred and fifty yuan, still pressed in her hand, touched the cold and warm shop, and gave the day's salary to the old lady who was paralyzed on the bed.

This matter was done immediately, I heard that I came to send wages, and the mother-in-law still refused to accept it, and she didn't even ask her name clearly, so she reached out and took the money, and tightly covered it in the quilt, for fear that others would see it, and she also pulled up the parents with Xiao Niangzi, and the first sentence of her mouth was to ask if there was a lady with a son and a daughter to beg for a living.

As soon as Xiao Niangzi heard it, she knew that it was Qiu Niang's Shi Gui family, but the number was not right, she smiled and said: "I also run errands for the owner, there are so many people in Suizhou, how can I find a family, I have never heard of it." ”

Mrs. Yu lost her face, and she didn't say anything about touching a few dollars to spare Mrs. Xiao a cup of tea, but Mrs. Xiao looked at her all the times, there was a broken mat under her body, and her body was covered with a quilt made of three or two square cloths, and there was a bowl of cold porridge on her hand, which looked almost rancid.

Shi Guiqiu Niang has a few, there is nothing valuable on her body, her clothes are all half-old and not new, and some of her skirts are washed white, but they are clean and not dilapidated.

When I went back, I only said that the money had been given, and I didn't mention the old woman who lived in the cold and warm shop, where is this like a son and a mother, the man looked like Qiu Niang was not the same age, Xiao Niangzi didn't even confide in her husband, only said that the matter was done, Shi Gui also thanked her, and gave her two meals, so that she didn't have to burn the stove at night.

Xiao Niangzi didn't say it, Shi Gui couldn't help but ask, Xiao Niangzi had to say it twice, she couldn't tell what Shi Gui wanted to hear, yes

Listening to their downfall, or listening to them and doing well, she pursed her lips: "I didn't look closely, the cold and warm shops were very simple, and there was no hot water and hot tea, just looking at the spirits." ”

Shi Gui's frowning brows didn't let go, Xiao Niangzi knew what she wanted to hear, and said a few words about the old woman's tragic image, and at this time she had already identified them as relatives: "Which of the poor people is not like this, she is good, and her son can rely on, live in the Jimin Institute, life is even more difficult, even if you have broken hands and feet, you still have to do work." ”

Mrs. Yu is like this, isn't Daddy Shi more depressed, there is a mouthful of heat, and it must have been given to her first, Shi Gui felt depressed when he thought about it, but he couldn't help but feel sorry for him, bought some steamed buns, and asked Mrs. Xiao to give it to him, so he said that he didn't want to be paid, and he had to have food.

What Shi Gui said, how did Xiao Niangzi respond, she really sent steamed buns, Shi Gui didn't hide it from Qiu Niang, Qiu Niang had an abacus in her hand, she deserved it, and said after a while: "Next time, cut some meat and send it, you can't let him work in vain." ”

Qiu Niang said once, so she didn't mention a word, and asked Shi Gui: "According to me, I have to recruit two more people, you said that you played three stoves at that time, I still have too much, so it is not enough, and when I take over the work, I am very busy in the first three months." ”

Shi Gui took the post given by Mrs. Ji, and then continued the work of delivering food to the sailor barracks, the business for the next three months is not worried, and the money to buy a house can be paid off every half a month, Qiu Niang sorted out the finances, and calculated that she had a little in her heart: "Wait a few more days, I have to give you a decent set of household goods, don't look at the two years that are still long, the days will pass in the blink of an eye." ”

Mingyue's son-in-law Qiu Niang is very satisfied, the important thing is that there is no father, just treat Shi Gui alone, there is no side tie, she doesn't mess with Shi Gui, and the life of the two of them will not be bad.

Shi Gui didn't hear her mention it coldly, and his face was a little red, Mingyue was transferred to build a high platform, and in the next three months, he could see him every day, and it was rare that he was a little restless in his heart, and he was unsure in the past two days.

The mother and daughter packed up their things and went home, but Kiko hadn't come back yet, and came back to say that Mr. had punished him for staying in the church, and that he had not memorized a book, and that he was talking and staring at his sister, and that he had seen his father.

Shi ran to the private school to see his son, seeing that he now has a book to read, thinking that he has worked hard all these years, Xizi has not been able to read the stable book in Lanxi Village, and he has to come back to rest for a while, pulling his son, and he owes him more and more speechless.

Xizi sat with him in the herbal tea shop for a while, the stone opened up to eat, bought a wonton for him to eat, the father and son sat down and couldn't say a word, Xizi buried her head in her neck, wiped her face with the stone, and smiled at him: "You eat." ”

Xizi didn't eat it, the bowl of wonton was soaked in the soup, staring at it from steaming hot to not a trace of heat, Shi Dad was about to speak, Xizi ran away with her schoolbag, and didn't dare to tell Sù Qiu Niang when she came back, she hugged Shi Gui's waist, and the man didn't cry anymore, but he couldn't help it.

Shi Gui patted him on the back, and it took a long time to coax him, full of words that he couldn't say, and he couldn't bear to look at it, because he was afraid of being soft-hearted, and things in the world have always been soft-hearted and afraid of hard-heartedness.

This thing is not over, the next day Qiu Niang Shi Gui has not gone out, the concierge sent food in, honey steamed dumplings, said that it was sent by a man, and left immediately, only said that it was for Qiu Niang, and there were two strings of sugar gourds in it.
