Seventy-four, scolding the old man

Seeing that there are still 20 days to go before the New Year, both adults and children in the countryside seem to be ready to move, and they are all holding up a lot of energy, just waiting for the arrival of the New Year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And at this time, except for the New Year, everything else will seem insignificant.

Man Qing hurried to hurry, and six days before the previous year, he sold all the embroidery work in his hands, and sold ten more ducks and five chickens, and finally scraped together the money to pay off all the debts.

The hardships of this are naturally only known to Man Qing. God knows that she is used to squinting at things these days, because embroidery really hurts her eyes, and in order to finish it before the year, she spent several days embroidering by the oil lamp at night. And the chickens and ducks, needless to say, the ducks, which survived fifteen at last, were about to lay eggs, and now they were well-behaved, and they didn't need her to rush to and fro in the morning and evening, and as soon as they opened the door of the duck pen in the morning, and fed some buds, they would stagger to the river, and then in the evening, as soon as the sun went down, they would stagger back on their own. She plans to raise a few more for the next year, which is really worry-free, and those chickens now know that they have gone out to forage, and the nest of chicks that hatched at the beginning has only ten left, and now two of them are about to lay eggs, and it is time to eat them......

Speaking of which, she has been raising it for more than half a year, and she is not willing to eat any of them. Now there are five ducks at home, she is going to eat one for the New Year, and the remaining four are kept to lay eggs, and next year she will be able to eat delicious salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs, and the remaining four hens and a little rooster are also eaten for the New Year, and then the rest are with the old hen, keep the eggs, and then hatch the chicks...... If you have more eggs, you can pick up the food for Gao Lao.

And now that the debt has been paid off, and I still have a little salary for working by the river, as well as a chicken and a duck, I think it should be good this year. In the front yard of Manqing Station, he was thinking about feeding the chickens and ducks, and finally showed a little smile on his face.

Today is sunny again. Next to the New Year, this weather is just right to wash and dry quilts and sheets. Man Qing couldn't be lazy, and took out all the heavy clothes, quilts, sheets, and so on that should have been washed in the winter. Just as I was about to walk towards the river, the door to the main house suddenly creaked open.

Oh, Manqing only took her own, and forgot about what Gao Lao picked.

However, she had stopped washing Gao Lao's clothes for a long time, could it be that she was still thinking about asking her to wash his clothes now? Manqing wanted to pretend that she didn't hear and continue walking, but when she thought that Gao Lao's clothes had been doing well recently, she still stood up and turned around.

I saw Gao Lao holding a big bag of sheets and bedding or something, and stood at the door of the room a little shyly-yes, shy--looking like he wanted to look at Man Qing but didn't dare to look at it, "You're going to wash it, right?"

Man Qing's temper is much better now, and he is not angry when he hears this obvious nonsense. And she easily found that the person who was in distress now was not her, but the messy guy in front of her.

If so, maybe, maybe, can make this annoying guy change? Since he can't leave, he can only survive until he gets married--she is the only daughter in the family, maybe Gao Lao will ask her to recruit a son-in-law, that is, he can't get rid of this guy even after getting married, so wouldn't he have to endure it?

What if he could change?

Manqing's thoughts spun quickly, then straightened his mind and said unhurriedly: "If you want me to help you wash things, you can." But you can give me — oh no, I don't need you to do anything for me, what can you do for the family?"

Gao Lao picked out the words subconsciously and just wanted to scold, but when he thought about it, his daughter seemed to be right-even if what she said was right, but before the father and daughter, how could she use this kind of exchange tone? He is a father, what's wrong with calling his daughter to do something? Thinking that he was about to teach people a lesson as soon as his eyebrows were raised, but Manqing at the gate of the courtyard reacted faster, only to see her lightly say, "If you don't do it, forget it", and then turn around and leave.

Man Qing, who turned around, thought, sure enough, he overestimated Gao Lao's cheekiness, forget it, the mud can't support the wall, let him go.

This washing is also manual work. At noon, Man Qing washed everything with a sore back, pulled two thick ropes in the front yard as usual, and dried them in the yard. Taking advantage of the good weather, when cooking at noon, Manqing boiled a large pot of water and began to wash and scrub the house hygiene.

In the middle of the afternoon, as soon as she came out of the backyard after cleaning, she saw Gao Lao picking a basin and sitting in the front yard to rub the sheets. And his big wooden tub was steaming hot. At this time, it was already half of the afternoon, the sun was setting in the west, and there was no longer the heat of noon, and a cool breeze was swishing. She boiled that big pot of water to wash the utensils in the kitchen, and to clean the windows or something, and it wasn't so cool to use some hot water. But, who allowed him to wash the sheets with hot water?

Man Qing looked at the water in the tank again, okay, very good, this is also a small half of it - I really don't know how difficult it is to lift water without lifting water, right, why didn't he go to the well to carry water by himself?

Man Qing was suddenly furious, and those patient thoughts in the morning instantly ran out of the clouds. She bit her lip, looked left and right, and didn't think of a good tool for a while, so she stepped forward a few times, bent down and grabbed his wooden basin, and "snapped", even the contents of the wooden basin belt were lifted far away!

"If you want to wash something, you can wash things, don't you see that I boil water for hygiene? Why don't you boil it yourself if you are afraid of the cold? ! Also, the water in the water tank is brought up by me with great difficulty, why don't you know to carry it yourself if you want to wash things?!"

Man Qing suddenly rushed out, the action of lifting the basin just now was neat, and now it was the first to take the lead, where did Gao Lao pick up such treatment, and suddenly he was stunned!

But then a sky-high fire rose from the soles of his feet, and his old face was immediately burned red! He, Gao Shijin, is now also in his thirties and forties, when was he pointed at and scolded in front of him like this, and even lifted the basin for someone?!

A great shame in his life! Is it tolerable or unbearable! He stood up suddenly, blushed and pointed at Man Qing, but before he could say anything, Man Qing's accusations swept over like a flood!

"As a father, do you have the slightest responsibility as a father? In the past six months since your mother passed away, have you ever collected firewood or carried water? Have you ever earned a penny to buy oil or rice and noodles? Have you made a small contribution to this family except staying in your broken study or lying in the room?"

The more Man Qing spoke, the smoother it became, and the breath in his heart was suppressed for a long time, and finally rushed to the side of his throat! For so long, it was not that he was not angry, it was not that he was not sad, but at those times he was under the pressure of his livelihood, and he knew that it was useless to say more. Now that I'm finally out of breath, let's scold them all!

"Do you think that you are a great man of Xiucai? What is the use of your Xiucai Gong except to make the two acres of land at home not have to pay taxes? Oh, yes, for the sake of your Xiucai Gong, my family has changed from 50 acres of fertile land to the current two acres of land, and I have to hand it over to the Gui family to take care of it together -- this is the benefit of your Xiucai Gong!"

"Look at this family now, all the bits and pieces, what have you done? If you say that you are a talented man and don't have to work, then am I just everyone's lady, and I don't have to show my face, let alone work in the field?!" Man Qing took a step forward and said, "Don't say anything else, even the thatched pit at home will stink you to death, who will help you pick it?!"

As soon as these words came out, Gao Lao couldn't help but take half a step back! This and this, and these words have been moved to the table, what else can he refute?

"But look at what I didn't do at home?! Look at it, you open your eyes wide and take a closer look!" Man Qing's voice became higher and higher, and he couldn't help but take a step forward as he spoke!

Gao Lao has to retreat, or he will be sprayed in the face by his daughter's saliva!" "You-"

Man Qing ignored him, and when she walked forward, she passed by the sheet that fell to the ground, as if she had found an outlet, she stepped forward a few times, and the breath in her heart was almost vented!

The face of the man in front of him was so ashen that he could barely say a word, and it seemed that this time she had completely scolded him!

Like a little rooster, Man Qing stomped the sheet twice, and then turned around and walked to the room—the quarrel was almost over, but her work was not finished.

"From today onwards, you have to eat, buy your own rice, boil water, collect firewood by yourself, wash things and carry water by yourself!"

With a "poof", Gao Lao was stunned by anger.
