Chapter 178: Unknown (2nd Update)
After Xiaozhu's mother reminded her like this, the old lady finally remembered, "That house has been empty for more than ten years, right? The thatch on the roof is sparse, and it hasn't fallen yet?"
"It's not down, but it's almost over. A few days ago, I passed by and took a look, two rooms, one of the walls collapsed half, the other looked quite neat, tidy up, enough for a family to crowd, better than sleeping outside, so it was a place to stay. Xiaozhu's mother said as she bit off a thread on her clothes with her teeth.
The old lady sighed twice: "The old woman of the Xiao family has always been a face-saving person, let her be neighbors with the livestock, and she will be so angry that her heart hurts." ”
Xiaozhu's mother smiled: "Just a person like her, being a neighbor to the livestock, maybe she still dislikes her, who in the village doesn't know what kind of person the old woman is, not to mention that there is no empty house, even if there is, others are not willing to borrow." Let's just talk about the Zhang family, although it is not a good one, but the house has been lived in by the Xiao family for so long, and the result is that the Xiao family has not been said well. ”
The old lady shook her head but disagreed: "Are you really the old woman who has a kind heart? The Xiao family was brought back by the surnamed Wei, and it was also the surname Wei who led the people to the Zhang family, among them is the line taken by Hu Xiujuan, the cat between Hu Xiujuan and the surnamed Wei can be seen clearly by people outside, that old woman Zhang is very shrewd, you don't know when she is not?"
"Mrs. Zhang knows why she is still watching these two shameless messing around?" Xiaozhu's mother was surprised, as a mother-in-law, she knew that her daughter-in-law and the men outside were not clear, she didn't fight, scold, or speak, why did she swallow her anger and help do things?!
The old lady smiled disdainfully: "What's the picture?
Xiaozhu's mother couldn't figure it out now, and she looked confused: "Figure grain?"
The old lady nodded and said: "Mrs. Zhang has been unable to do heavy work since her neck was broken, and she can no longer do heavy work. Not to mention Zhang Fusheng, if he can earn six or seven jobs a day, it is rare, but it is difficult to work for three days and rest for two days, pointing at him to drink the northwest wind. In the past, there was Hu Xiujuan and Zhang Tao on top, but since last year, Hu Xiujuan has not worked much, and she is not at home for most of the month, either at her mother's house or in the town, but the Zhang family doesn't ask anything, and the people in the family can't earn much centimeters, but his family is not short of food. ”
Hearing this, Xiaozhu's mother suddenly understood, the old lady glanced at her, and then said: "Although the Zhang family borrowed a few times of grain from the village, the amount is not large, plus his own share, except for Hu Xiujuan, the whole family of seven is not enough for a meal a day, plus Mrs. Zhang's wife grabs some Chinese medicine from time to time to eat, how much it costs some money to build some food, but you look at the size of the Zhang family, although it is also thin, but the spirit is good." ”
As she spoke, the old lady pointed in the direction of the village again: "Look at the old Xu Tou's family in our village, his family of seven also earns a lot more work than the Zhang family, but the family is really skinny, and they have fainted several times of hunger in the field, and they are as if they have suffered from chicken plague." People earn more than the Zhang family, and there are also seven people, why is her Zhang family so energetic? To put it bluntly, she is still hungry and not ruthless, and there is a lot more food than others. Every time Hu Xiujuan came back from the town, she either boasted about a basket or carried a bamboo basket, and one time I happened to bump into it, and the cloth towel on the basket was blown away by the wind, and I glared at it, and the basket contained most of the soybeans!"
"What?!" Xiaozhu's mother was so shocked that she almost didn't jump up, "Soybeans? Where did she get soybeans?"
"Where did you come from? Her mother's Hu family won't let her bring soybeans back, in addition to getting them from the town's surnamed Wei, she can also go there to get food back, it's not a matter of one or two times, just I bumped into three or four times. The old lady swore that she was shocking and shocking.
Xiaozhu's mother completely understood now, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "The surname Wei gives food, and Mrs. Zhang should not know? Even if the surname Wei brings the Xiao family to the family, she can endure ......it?" What a thing!"
The old lady pursed her lips and didn't speak, what is the matter? Dirty things, people are happy to have their own son be the green king, and no one can control this matter. The old woman is very thoughtful, and she can't guess what she thinks, don't look at her taking the food and not saying a word, but she can bear it, and she remembers it in her heart.
……
The next day, when the day was just dawning, the old lady woke up early and quietly got up and dressed herself.
Glancing at Lin Qing, who was still asleep, the old lady got out of bed and put on her shoes and opened the door lightly.
The hall lit the oil lamp, the two elders sat down and drank tea, while quietly discussing things, muttering for a while, the two elders reached a consensus, the old lady went back to the house and turned out the paper and pen envelope, wrote four pages of letters and put them in her arms. He took out one of the big chicken thighs that he had pickled a few days ago, wrapped it in paper and put it in the basket that he boasted about on his arm, and covered it with a dark cloth towel, and then went all the way out of the courtyard.
Xiao Lang, who was sleeping in the West House, sat up violently when he heard the sound of the door opening, glanced out, the sky was even brighter, and he got up and went out of the house with some uneasy clothes, and went over to take a look when he saw the lights on in the hall.
When Uncle Tai saw him coming, he was satisfied, but smiled on his face and whispered, "What are you doing when you get up?" Your grandmother went out to run errands, there is nothing to do here, go back to the house and go to sleep." ”
Xiao Lang couldn't sleep, went back to the house and got dressed, brought firewood into the kitchen, and didn't take long to boil the pot of hot water.
Uncle Tai stood at the door of the hall and watched, his heart becoming more and more satisfied.
The old lady didn't go for long, and in about half an hour she came back with a basket, and the chicken legs in the basket were gone, but there was an extra handful of tender mud artemisia (Artemisia annua). As soon as he entered the room, he nodded to his uncle with a smile, and said: "People are polite, I didn't accept it, or I forced it over, so I returned a handful of tender artemisia, this thing has not grown yet, and I picked a lot of tender ones." ”
Uncle Tai nodded: "The second child is a particular person, and it just so happens that this thing is a taste for the girl." ”
Lin Qing in the back room just woke up, and when he heard the second elder talking in a daze, he rubbed his eyes and sat up and shouted out to the old lady: "Milk, what are you doing?"
The old lady answered, put down the basket and pushed the door in, and quickly pressed the person back into the bed, "What are you doing sitting up? It's cold in the morning, and it's freezing!"
"Where did the milk go?" Lin Qing lay in the quilt, only revealing a small head, and asked again with a blinking eye.
The old lady fooled her: "Grandma didn't go anywhere, I went to your village chief's second master to find a tender mud artemisia back, and I will make soup for you to drink." ”
