Chapter 2: The Great Aunt Borrowed Money

Xia Jie was stunned for a moment, she had never seen Yu Cailan work, this was a change of sex, how could she be willing to help her wash rice?

Xia Jie saw that Yu Cailan took the rice basin very calmly, then scooped water from the tank, and scrubbed the rice grains with both hands, and there was no bad mood, so she handed over the job to Yu Cailan. She really can't be busy alone.

After washing the rice, Yu Cailan asked Xia Jie: "Third aunt, do you have any other work?" I have nothing to do, help you do something." ”

Xia Jie's brain couldn't turn around, what's wrong with her?

Seeing that Yu Cailan was still waiting for her to reply, Xia Jie took a potholed old aluminum basin and asked her to pick a few cucumbers. Considering that Yu Cailan didn't necessarily know where the cucumbers were planted, Xia Jie shouted: "Xiaoguang, come here." ”

Yu Yaguang had already finished gnawing a whole sweet pole and was fiddling with the slingshot, when he heard Xia Jie calling him, he scurried to the kitchen: "Mom, you call me?"

"Take your second sister to pick a few cucumbers, well, pick a few peppers too, and they should be redder." ”

"Hello" Yu Yaguang promised to catch up with Yu Cailan and take her around to the vegetable garden behind the house.

In the blue catch, there are rows of various vegetables, cowpeas, kidney beans, cucumbers, tomatoes with bamboo shelves, eggplants, peppers, potatoes, garlic without shelves, and a few green spinach, rape, cabbage, coriander, and the corner of the wall is elevated with wood, and pumpkins are planted, and some of the long round pumpkins are green and some are yellow.

The vegetable garden is large, but it is clean, neatly arranged with no weeds. Thinking about Xia Jie's rough hands, you can know who cleaned it up.

Looking at this vegetable garden full of life, full of green, red and yellow, Yu Cailan's mood improved a lot.

Yu Yaguang followed her with a pot, Yu Cailan walked into the ridge, happily picked a few cucumbers of appropriate thickness, and went to pick a few red peppers, and then went back to the kitchen with Yu Yaguang.

The two of them helped Xia Jie pick vegetables, wash vegetables and clean up the fish, and they were busy until about six o'clock, when Yu Yunlai's eldest son Yu Yafei and daughter Yu Caiwei came back.

Yu Yafei walked into the yard with a hoe and an open shirt covered in sweat, saw Yu Cailan, and greeted him as usual, thinking that Yu Cailan would still look like he was ignoring, but he didn't expect Yu Cailan to respond happily, and said to him: "Second brother is back? ”

Yu Yafei looked at the basin of water in the yard, and was stunned, he didn't hallucinate, right?

Xia Jie had already adapted to Yu Cailan's changes a little, and patted Yu Yaguang: "Why are you still stunned? Your sister told you to wash your hands and eat, but you didn't hear it?"

"Ah, I hear, I hear. Yu Yafei hurriedly washed his hands, threw a wet towel again, and wiped his body again, otherwise it would be sticky and uncomfortable.

After Yu Caiwei came back, she didn't pay much attention to Yu Cailan, and after sitting at the dinner table, she looked at the two kinds of rice served by Xia Jie and pouted secretly.

She didn't eat that stutter, but she was not convinced, Yu Cailan was a sister, but she ate better than her and her younger brother.

Seeing that Xia Jie used chopsticks to serve her father a bowl of steamed soft rice first. Then he took the fine porcelain bowl in front of Cai Lan and asked her to serve her rice as well.

Yu Caiwei was angry in her heart, snorted coldly, and was kicked by her brother Yu Yafei.

Xia Jie was stopped when she was about to pick up Yu Cailan's rice bowl, Yu Cailan put her hand on the bowl, "Third aunt, you and the third uncle can eat rice, you have a stomachache recently, right? ”

For a while, a room full of people were stunned, usually she was given a grand rice, she looked aggrieved, what's the matter now, not aggrieved?

Seeing that Xia Jie didn't move, Yu Cailan took the initiative to bring Xia Jie's bowl and put rice on her, and then served a few bowls of sorghum rice to her brothers and sisters and herself. It wasn't until she had done these things that the people reacted.

Who's going to tell them what's going on?

Yu Cailan ate very calmly, without a little grievance, and halfway through the meal, Yu Yunlai's sister-in-law, that is, Yu Cailan's aunt Liu Cuihua came.

Liu Cuihua is white and chubby, because the eldest of the Yu family works in the pharmacy of the hospital in the town, has a stable income, and the family is much better than the lame third Yu Yunlai's family.

After Liu Cuihua entered the house, she sat on the kang with her own familiarity, Yu Caiwei didn't like to take care of her, and the others greeted her without being salty.

Xia Jie said politely: "Sister-in-law, have you eaten?"

Liu Cuihua didn't shirk when she heard this, and sat down at the edge of the dinner table, and Xia Jie had no choice but to give her the remaining little rice.

Liu Cuihua didn't say much, stretched out her chopsticks towards the half of the plate of small fish in the center of the table, and put a few in her bowl in a row, and said while eating: "Xia Jie, the fish you fried is delicious, you see that I have already eaten, I still can't help but want to eat, brother and sister, your hands are skillful." ”

Yu Caiwei watched that there were fewer and fewer fish on the plate, and they were humble to each other, no one ate much, but it was cheaper Liu Cuihua, and she was so angry in her heart, she took the chopsticks and stabbed them at the bottom of the bowl, and the bowl made a knock sound, Yu Yaguang's small mouth also pouted, and he caught those fish in the small river ditch for more than an hour.

Liu Cuihua heard the sound of chopsticks and said with a smile: "Oh, brother and sister, is this child not welcome me or what? As he said this, he didn't put down the chopsticks in his hand.

"No, no, the matter of the child's school has nothing to do with you, sister-in-law, you can eat. Xia Jie thought that her eldest son would have to ask his uncle to find someone to do it when he became a soldier, so she had to endure not saying things against her will.

After eating, Liu Cuihua said: "Xia Jie, I didn't say you, Cai Lan, this girl has no father or mother now, it's strange and pitiful, why didn't you make up for her well? ”

Yu Caiwei couldn't help it, "Then aunt, why don't you keep the fish for the second sister to eat?"

Liu Cuihua was choked back, and smiled awkwardly: "Look at this child, the eldest aunt is reluctant to eat something from your family, they are all a family, why are you so careful?"

"Auntie, I heard that there are a lot of snacks in Uncle's Hospital, we are all a family, Auntie, you can bring some tomorrow and we will share it, everyone can taste it." ”

Yu Cailan, who was helping Xia Jie pick up the dishes and chopsticks on the side, said slowly.

Yu Caiwei was drinking water, and when she heard this, she almost squirted out the water, and Liu Cuihua was choked by Yu Cailan's words, and her eyes were almost goldfish eyes.

But this is her own beginning, and now that her niece says so, she can't refute it. In addition to forbearance, you can only endure.

Thinking of her husband's words before she came, Liu Cuihua couldn't help the unhappiness in her heart, and squeezed out a pleasant smile, "If you want to eat it, Ming'er will bring some to your aunt, it won't be short for you." I just don't have a good memory, so I'll forget about it today. ”

"Oh, by the way, the eldest aunt has something to ask you for this time. You see, your eldest brother is twenty-five years old, and he hasn't gotten married yet, and if he doesn't get married, he'll be an old bachelor. No, a few days ago, the people in your uncle's hospital introduced a partner, the two of them are getting along very well, and they are going to get married next year, you see, your parents left you a lot of money, and you can't use it now, so it is better to lend your eldest brother a thousand first, so that he can build a new house, otherwise the woman will not agree. After a few years, your uncle will pay you back. ”

Yu Cailan knows what a thousand yuan means in this era? They really dare to open their mouths! That is the inheritance left by the original owner's parents.

"Auntie, you see, I was about to tell you about the money, but you said it first. ”
