Sister Song said with an annoyed face: "Originally, I thought that Li Mingdong's salary has not been handed over for so many years, and he usually has no consumption, so he has seven or eight hundred." As a result, I asked him if he wanted it, and he talked to him for a long time, but only took out fifty yuan. ”

"Fifty yuan!" Sister Song gritted her teeth and said: "His salary for two months is more than that! Since I got married, his money has never been paid to his family, and as a result, there is only fifty yuan left!"

Song Erzhu and others were also shocked when they heard this, you must know that Song Damei and Li Mingdong have been married for more than 20 years, Li Mingdong's salary has changed from a dozen yuan as a temporary worker at the beginning to more than 40 yuan now, and after more than 20 years, Song Damei said that seven or eight hundred is less, and several thousand is normal.

As far as they know, Li Mingdong eats at home and in the textile factory, and he doesn't smoke or drink, so he has no place to spend money. Anyway, he shouldn't have all that money left.

Sister Song said with a look of hatred: "I knew ...... like this" Over the years, if it weren't for the money in his hands, the children would be able to benefit in the future, and she would be able to provide him with good food and drink?

"You don't know how much I hate him, and I sometimes want to report him. ”

"What to report?" Hearing her words, Song Erzhu was stunned.

"Of course, I reported him for being a hooligan. Sister Song said: "Otherwise, where would he spend so much money? He neither drinks nor gambles, where can he spend so much money? I really can't think of where he can spend it except to raise women." This kind of thing...... I don't really need much proof. ”

In fact, including Sister Song, who said this, although it is strange where Li Mingdong spent the money, he does not really feel that he is raising women outside.

In addition to joy, as a person who has seen a lot of the world, she very much agrees with her aunt's words.

"Eldest sister, how much do you lack?" Song Erzhu was a little embarrassed.

He didn't know if he had enough money.

Sister Song thought for a while and said, "There must be at least five hundred." "Five hundred is a small amount, and a radio plus forty-eight legs is not a small expense.

Song Erzhu frowned, "You wait." ”

He went back to the room, and soon came out with a rusty tin box, opened it, and said, "That's all." ”

So, everyone divided their labor and took out the new and old banknotes in the tin box and counted them.

"It's only four hundred and sixty. Song Sanzhu sighed and said.

His second brother's money is basically lent to him, and he has to borrow three or four hundred to buy work points every year, but if he borrows it once, it basically takes two years to pay it back, if it weren't for the fact that Wei Guo sent the money back, the second brother didn't have so much money in his hands.

Sister Song looked distressed, this money is really not enough, five hundred yuan may not be enough, not to mention that in addition to the forty-eight legs that are said to be good, it is not that there are no other expenses, and now everything has to be simple, so the banquet can not be counted, but when the time comes, the quilt covers, sheets, quilt cores, and clothes bought for the bride will cost hundreds.

Song Erzhu opened his mouth and said: "Are you in a hurry to get married? Why don't you wait for two months, and wait for the salary of the family and the defense of the country to be sent back...... "He actually has more than 30 yuan of retirement allowance every month, but he basically can't keep much of this money, and he sends it to some comrades-in-arms who are living in difficulty.

"No, I can't. Sister Song said distressedly: "That girl is pregnant, otherwise the woman's parents will not let go." This will be hidden, although the certificate has been obtained, but if it is known by those restless, it may not be arrested and fought. At most, the banquet will be held in two months, otherwise the stomach will not be able to cover it. ”

"Well, I have money here, too. Huanxi said.

When everyone heard this, they didn't take it seriously, but when Huanxi took out the money, everyone was shocked.

"Where did you get so much money?" Song Erzhu's eyes widened.

For ordinary people's families, more than 100 yuan is not a small amount, let alone a child.

Huanxi folded his hands and said: "Half of this is earned by selling peanut crisp and red bean cake, and the rest is earned by selling wild meat that you can't eat to the supply and marketing cooperative." Of course, she was occasionally bored and would conjure up a bill or two, not much, but a third of it.

Sister Song's eyes widened, "You sold hundreds of catties of red bean cake and peanut crisp?"

Huanxi nodded.

"But do we have so many peanuts and red beans in our house?" Song Erzhu looked puzzled, although peanuts and red beans were planted on his own land, there were not many, and the harvest was only a dozen catties.

Huanxi had already thought of a countermeasure to this, "Didn't the other people in the village also ask us to borrow seeds and plant peanuts and red beans? She did ask them to buy it, and anyway, for her, whether it was money or red beans and peanuts, it was something that could be obtained casually.

Hearing her say this, the adults have no doubts, at this time, it is better to have money than no money.

Sister Song also breathed a sigh of relief, took the money and hurriedly left.

As soon as she left, Song Erzhu said to Huanxi: "In the future, let's sell less peanut crisp and red bean cake, you are still young, it is time to play, why make yourself so tired?"

Song Linyuan, who had not spoken on the side, also followed: "That's it, adults are not as tired as you." "He is actually a little upset today, if he got his money back, why should the eldest niece worry about money?

Huanxi didn't know what this little grandfather thought, although he didn't plan to listen to persuasion, but his heart was very warm.

The local tyrant father in the previous life was also good to her, but he has the ambition unique to a man, and he is not a caring person in life, unless you show it in front of him. is also because of this, in her previous life, she was very good at complaining about grievances, and there was nothing she wouldn't have if she was bright or dark, and even tears and splashing could be done easily, which was not annoying at all. Because of this, she coaxed the local tyrant's father to devote herself to her, and became more and more dissatisfied with that half-brother.

Therefore, this kind of experience of being cared for without complaining about grievances is extremely new to Huanxi, but it feels good.

By the time Huanxi was on summer vacation, Li Jianjian's wedding date was set, and Huanxi's family, as close relatives, was naturally called to the banquet.

At this time, the banquet is not rich, or there is no banquet at all, but relatives and friends go to send some money, and then sit lively, eat some melon seeds and candy to make a fuss in the cave room, and it will not really stay for dinner.

On the contrary, in the countryside, no matter how bad the conditions are, they still have to invite relatives and friends to have a meal.
