Not long after Qin Meixing left, Liang Yu's mother Zhou Aiping came, and before she entered the door, she heard her loud voice, she also brought twenty or thirty eggs, and when she saw Zhou An's mother and son choosing crayfish, her eyes lit up, and she immediately asked if she needed her help today.

Before Tian Guifang could speak, Zhou An smiled and said, "Auntie, you came just in time, didn't I say it yesterday?

Tian Guifang was a little distressed about the money and glanced at Zhou An, but since her son had already said so, she didn't say anything more, and squeezed out a smile to greet Zhou Aiping.

After a while, the thin monkey's wife also brought some eggs over, saying that it was for Zhou An's father to make up for his body.

In the morning, Zhou An sat at the back of the house and chose crayfish, and saw with his own eyes that five or six groups of people came from the neighborhood, including Zhou Taiyun's wife in the west, who either brought eggs, or took a bottle of malt milk essence and pork to his house.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, and Tian Guifang couldn't refuse.

This made Zhou An feel that some neighbors were really better than some so-called relatives.

When it was almost noon, Mrs. Huo actually used her apron to bring more than a dozen eggs, which surprised Zhou An.

Not only Zhou An, but also Tian Guifang and Zhou Aiping also looked at each other and couldn't believe it.

Because Mrs. Huo is notoriously withdrawn and difficult to get along with in the village, she has never been the only one who takes advantage of others, and I have never heard of her sending things to other people's homes.

"Taihu's family! Taihu is okay, wow?"

Mrs. Huo walked through the hall of Zhou An's house with a bamboo pole and stood at the back door to talk to Tian Guifang, the old lady's hair had already turned gray, more white and less black, and her small body was wearing an old-fashioned black cloth coat, in the summer, she was also wearing a pair of black cloth shoes on her feet, and there was a patch on the left cuff of the black cloth coat.

Seeing her coming over with some eggs, Tian Guifang was really flattered, quickly got up, wiped her hands on the rag next to her a few times, and went over to support Mrs. Huo.

"Ouch, Aunt Huo, why are you here?

"I'm fine, you don't have to help me, I'm fine! Oh, didn't I hear that Taihu is back, so I brought some eggs, Taihu's family! Do you have something to put here? Quickly get something to put eggs!"

Tian Guifang didn't dare to ask for her things, she really didn't dare.

This old lady didn't know what to smoke today, so she actually brought eggs to her house, but this old lady's temper is similar to the weather in June, and she can change when she says it.

Maybe one day she will be unhappy, so she will come to the door to ask for these eggs, and then it will be ugly.

But she couldn't resist Mrs. Huo, Mrs. Huo was very stubborn, as soon as Tian Guifang said something humble, she stretched her face and reprimanded her angrily, "What? You can accept what others give, but you can't accept my old lady's things? Are my eggs poisoned? Or do you look down on my old lady? If you say you look down on me, if you say it, I will turn around and leave immediately!

What else can Tian Guifang do? Mrs. Huo has talked about this.

I had no choice but to take the basket to take Mrs. Huo's eggs.

After the egg was taken, Mrs. Huo's elongated face turned cloudy and sunny, and she looked at Zhou An, who had not made a sound from beginning to end, with a smile.

"Xiao An, you've been selling lobsters and snails lately, and business is good, isn't it?"

Zhou An was stunned, he didn't expect Mrs. Huo to talk to him.

"yes, yes! Business is fine. ”

Mrs. Huo just delivered eggs, and Zhou An is not good at slacking off.

Mrs. Huo smiled and glanced at Zhou Aiping, who was helping to choose crayfish, and talked to Zhou Aiping again, "Xiaopingzi! I heard that you are here to help choose shrimp, how much money do you have to get a day?"

Zhou Aiping didn't know why, and she also didn't expect Mrs. Huo to talk to her, but Mrs. Huo had a good attitude, although she was confused, she still replied immediately: "Well, Anzi is kind, give me five cents for every pound of shrimp!"

"Five cents, ah......"

Mrs. Huo nodded, then leaned the bamboo pole in her hand against the door with a smile, rolled up her sleeves, walked out of the door, and said with a smile: "Then I'll help choose a little! Five cents a pound is a lot, although I am old, but I still choose shrimp!"

While speaking, she had already sat on Tian Guifang's stool, grabbed the crayfish in the basin, and began to choose.

Zhou An: "......"

Zhou Aiping: "......"

Tian Guifang: "......"

The three of you, look at me, I look at you, and finally suddenly why did Mrs. Huo send eggs to his family today, it turned out that this was the idea.

Not to mention, Jiang is really old and spicy, Mrs. Huo's hand is quite beautiful, at least at this moment, neither Zhou An nor Tian Guifang can say anything to refuse.

The eggs have been collected, the old lady has sat down and started to choose shrimp, who is embarrassed to say that she doesn't need to choose?

The three of them smiled bitterly, but only Mrs. Huo looked calm, and her hands and feet were quite sharp with a smile.

Afternoon.

After the shrimp were chosen, Mrs. Huo and Zhou Aiping had lunch at Zhou An's house, received today's salary and left.

Before leaving, Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "I'll come to help tomorrow!"

Zhou An went to the kitchen to cut a few pieces of watermelon, took one for his father, one for his mother, one for himself, and the remaining one on the cutting board, which was reserved for Zhou Jian.

"Why hasn't Xiaojian come back yet?"

Zhou An muttered and nibbled on a watermelon.

Tian Guifang didn't answer this question, "Anzi, Mrs. Huo, do you really ask her for help......?" It's enough for our family to invite Aiping alone, and if you invite one more person, you will have to pay an extra labor fee, otherwise, I'll tell Mrs. Huo tomorrow and ask her not to come for the time being, right?"

Zhou An knew that his mother was distressed about money again.

smiled, "No! Mom, Mrs. Huo wants to earn this money, so let's earn it for her! She can't earn much in a day, with her and Liang Yu's help, we both can take it easy, what's wrong?"

Tian Guifang still frowned, "What kind of business is this? We can be busy ourselves, why spend more money?"

"Forget it, Mom! Mrs. Huo is not easy, besides, now my business here is good, Mrs. Huo earns ten yuan and eight yuan a day, and I can earn it by selling an extra crayfish!"

Tian Guifang sighed, "Okay! Alas, I'm afraid that if I start this way, other old ladies in the village will also come to 'help'." ”

Zhou An smiled, "Don't worry, Mom! ”

……

After eating a piece of watermelon, Zhou Jian finally came back with the snail and the spy.

Zhou An shouted at him to hurry up and eat, and when Zhou Jian was eating, Zhou An asked him why he came back so late today?

"Big brother, I don't want to, but the snails in the river are not easy to explore, I don't know if it's too hot to go to the bottom of the river, or what's the reason, when I go down, I find a lot fewer snails than a few days ago!"
