Chapter 10 Borrowing Money
Sheng Yanong rarely got off work early, carrying a small piece of pork in his hand, and shouted Zhao Jihong to fry two dishes when he entered the hospital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"There are no dishes that can be fried at home!" Zhao Jihong was a little embarrassed.
In addition to planting two ridges of shallots, the vegetable patch in the backyard is full of corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes. At this time, there were no vegetables sold in the market, not to mention that it was still raining.
Sheng Yanong lifted the lid of the pot, the pumpkin and potatoes boiled in the pot were bubbling with aroma, and the white flour steamed buns were pasted on the side of the pot.
"Cook some more rice, Yahuan likes to eat rice stir-fry. Sheng Yanong closed the lid of the pot with a commanding tone.
Zhao Jihong stopped doing it as soon as he heard it, "I still like to eat rice and stir-fry! Use you to stir-fry, it's been seven years, you don't only grow some corn and potatoes, at this time I can't find vegetables to fry, I want to fry you!"
Zhao Jihong is also a native of Jiangnan, she is used to eating rice and stir-fried vegetables, when she first came to the farm, she cooked pasta and vegetables, in her opinion, it was simply inferior to pig food, and the taste was worse than death.
Zhao Jihong is usually quite gentle with Sheng Yanong, but this will suddenly have a temper outburst, and Sheng Yanong was startled.
"Second brother, no need, just eat as you like. Sheng Yahuan heard the movement outside and stood at the door awkwardly.
"Well, I want to borrow your light for some stir-fry. Lili, go to your Uncle Zhang's house and ask for two cucumbers and chili peppers, and fry the meat for a while. ”
Sheng Lili hid in the door, she didn't want to open her mouth to her neighbors, and she was dead.
"What about Lingling? Let Lingling go. ”
"Lingling went out to do her homework and wasn't at home. Zhao Jihong was a little gloating.
"Second uncle, I'll go. ”
Sheng Lanlan obviously saw Sheng Yanong's embarrassment, and after speaking, she picked up the umbrella and walked out. "Your niece is sensible!" Zhao Jihong's sarcastic voice came faintly behind him, and Sheng Lanlan had no choice but to smile bitterly.
When Sheng Lanlan came back with the basket, Sheng Jiannan and Sheng Lingling had already returned. I heard that there was meat to eat at night, and Lingling was a little impatient. Sheng Jiannan was not in a high mood, drooped his head, and when he saw Sheng Yahuan, he shouted "sister-in-law" without raising his eyes, and never saw him again.
In addition to eating some meat in the New Year, the farmers usually either stew some melons and beans in clear soup and white water, or the eggs produced at home, and they also save them for the New Year.
"Your Uncle Zhang is quite generous, giving so many chili peppers, his family is the best at growing chili peppers, cucumbers and eggplants. Zhao Jihong sighed.
"When we come to the guests, they will give more. In a few days, our corn and sweet potatoes are ripe, and you can pick more to repay the favor. ”
Sheng Lanlan went to Zhang Yanqiu's house to be warmly treated, this face is indeed not small, it can be seen from Sheng Lili's eyes.
Zhao Jihong was also a little surprised, Sheng Lanlan said this better than she knew how to behave. While talking, he washed and chopped vegetables neatly, and after a while, the pot burst out with the aroma of meat.
The family ate around the table, Sheng Yahuan took a small bowl to decorate the dishes, and asked her daughter Su Nuo to eat on the side, Zhao Jihong pulled and refused, Sheng Yahuan was anxious, "How can there be girls in our countryside who eat at the table, the rules can't be broken, let her father eat and beat me." ”
"What? Your man beat you? I think he dares!" Sheng Yanong slapped the table and touched the bowl, and Zhao Jihong hurriedly pulled him to sit down.
"No, no, how can there be!" Sheng Yahuan lowered his head, his eyes becoming gloomy.
Sheng Lanlan filled Xiao Feng with a small bowl of rice and pulled him and Su Nuo to sit on a small stool to eat, Su Nuo's cowardly face showed a smile.
After the children got off the table, Sheng Yahuan finally said the purpose of the trip, she was here to borrow money.
Before he could speak, the tears fell first, how could Sheng Yanong stand this, "Don't cry, say, how much?"
"What's going on at home? We're not rich, you know the eldest brother's two children are here, and they need food and clothing......
Zhao Jihong glanced at Sheng Yanong, he didn't know the price of firewood and rice, listening to his tone, it seemed that he was rich. I don't ask what the situation is, I just want to take the money out.
"Xiaobao has a heart attack and needs surgery, how can we have the money to operate on him...... The child was born weak, and the doctor said that he had to go to the provincial hospital, but the operation fee was ...... Sheng Ya couldn't cry, in the countryside, his son is the most precious treasure.
"Isn't your mother-in-law the captain of the village?" As soon as Zhao Jihong heard that he was going to borrow money to see a doctor, he knew that this money was indispensable, and his face immediately collapsed, and his speech looked yin and yang.
Sheng Yanong glared at her, "How much you have in your hand, give it to the little sister to use." Then he turned to his sister and said, "You can use it, when you will have it in the future, and when you will return it." ”
Sheng Yahuan wiped her tears and stretched out a finger.
"One hundred?" Zhao Jihong raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I'll see if I can find someone to make up tomorrow." ”
"A thousand. Sheng Yahuan's eyes were full of expectation, which made people unbearable to look at directly. This was her last hope for borrowing money.
"Ah, just kidding!" Zhao Jihong opened his mouth in shock, "Do you know how much your brother earns a month? Even if we don't eat or drink, we have to save for three or four years, how can we have so much money!"
"Don't say so much, how many do you have?"
"Less than a hundred. Zhao Jihong said angrily, knowing that this sister, who had not seen her for eight or nine years, would not be good this time, and she was guessed.
When Sheng Yahuan happily stepped on the train of educated youth, he planned to completely break with the capitalist family and the two rightist stinky old brothers. But after less than a month in the countryside, he couldn't endure hardship, and married the lame son of the production captain against his will......
"Is your Sheng family not genetically good, why do you have heart problems? Xiao Feng also had to have surgery at the age of twelve, what can I do? I, as a second aunt, want to die when I think about it, I ...... want to die."
Zhao Jihong said, and the crying voice came out, and the more he talked, the more sad he became, and Sheng Yanong said that his heart was like a knife, and his eyes were red.
"Okay, don't say it again, Ming'er will see how much she can make up, how can she not let Xiaomei go back empty-handed. Sheng Yanong sighed, he couldn't sit down anymore, got off the kang and put on his shoes, ran to the eaves and rolled a dry cigarette and smoked it.
Sheng Lanlan accompanied Xiao Feng and Su Nuo to play by the door, the sky was getting darker and darker, but the rain was getting more and more urgent.
At night, Xiao Feng was taken to the east house by Zhao Jihong to sleep, Sheng Lanlan slept next to her cousin, a burst of swishing smell penetrated Sheng Lanlan's nostrils, she turned her back, twisted her wish to smell the plaster smell of the brick wall, and couldn't bear the smell of Su Nuo's body.
The big grandfather clock rang again, and Sheng Lanlan subconsciously followed the count, it was twelve o'clock. The sound of breathing in the room was loud and easy, and everyone was asleep.
Sheng Lanlan suddenly felt a drop of water on her face, reached out and touched it, and another drop of water fell. The house was leaking rain.
"It's raining!" Sheng Lili slept on the other side, turned on the light, and looked up at the large water stain on the roof.
Everyone sat up, and the rain was like an irrepressible torrent, quickly spreading into a line from both sides, dripping and falling, and soon it became a thin curtain of rain.
