Chapter XXXVII

Wang and Ah Lu both looked at Chen Afu in surprise, Chen Afu nodded at them and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go eat wontons first, I'm hungry." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

They came to the wonton stall and asked for four bowls of wontons, one bowl of twelve wen, and the Wang family was not reluctant. The wonton skin is thin and meaty, so fragrant that the two children can't care about it, and keep sending it to their mouths. If it weren't for the fear that their little belly would not be able to stand it, Chen Afu would like to ask them for another bowl.

While eating the ravioli, the last sewing basket was also bought by a girl.

Ah Lu also said, "It's so fragrant, but it's a pity that I can't bring a bowl back to my father." ”

Chen Afu pointed to a braised meat stall opposite and said, "Wontons are not easy to bring, there are braised meat sellers there, let's buy some braised meat for my father to take back." ”

Wang said, "That stall is Xu Ji Lo Mei in Mingshui Town, and I heard that it is very fragrant. ”

Chen Dabao sniffed and said, "Well, it's incense, we all smell it here." ”

Wang said, "One step after buying braised pork." Let's kowtow to the Bodhisattva in the first temple, thank the Bodhisattva for blessing Ah Fu's illness, and add more sesame oil money. He added, "It would be nice if I could meet the master who told Ah Fu's fortune, and I must thank him for his good words." ”

Several people entered the temple and kowtowed to the Bodhisattva, and Chen Afu generously added one or two silver sesame oil money. After walking a few halls, he didn't meet the fortune-telling monk, and he didn't know what his Dharma name was, so Wang was disappointed.

Chen Afu was a little happy, she didn't want to meet a monk or something.

A few people left the temple and went to buy a pound of braised meat, and Chen Afu also bought a sugar gourd for each of the two children.

Midsummer afternoons are unusually hot. Out of Honglin Mountain, I feel even hotter. When Chen Afu saw the ox cart and donkey cart on the side of the road, he didn't dare to call a "taxi", and Wang definitely couldn't accept it.

Fortunately, after walking a short distance, I met an ox cart from Guqiao Village, a neighboring village, and several people sat on it, and there were two women from Xianggong Village on the car.

A woman said, "Second sister-in-law Chen, I heard that your family's sewing basket will be sold for 90 yuan, so you must have earned a lot of money today, right?"

Wang panicked, "Where do you make so much money, people refuse to buy it when it is expensive, and many of them are sold cheaply." ”

Another woman said, "If you shout such a high price, how cheap can you be? Ouch, your family earned more than half a year's worth of our family in half a day, it's really capable. ”

The people in the car were envious.

Wang Alu and Dabao also hurriedly denied it, "Not so much." ”

The woman pouted and said, "What's the panic, no matter how much you earn, no one will rob you." ”

Chen Afu did not deny it, he didn't recognize such a small number, how could he build a big house in the future.

It was the end of Shen Shi when he returned to the village, and when he was far away, he saw Chen Ming sitting under the eaves and looking anxiously into the distance. When he saw that they were back, he quickly got up and came to the gate of the fence.

He saw that everyone was empty-handed except for Wang, who was carrying a basket, and asked with a smile, "Everything has been sold?"

Dabao put his index finger to his mouth and booed exaggeratedly, "Grandpa, be quiet, come into the house and say." ”

A few people closed the fence door, closed the door again, entered the West House, and asked Dabao to see if anyone outside entered the courtyard in front of the window. As soon as he got this glorious task, Chen Dabao squatted on the kang and watched the window frame vigilantly outside.

Wang put the big money in the basket on the kang table, a large pile, mixed with a few small silver horns. When Chen Ming and the others watched Chen Afu put a few silver ingots on the kang table, their eyes were straight, it was the first time they had seen so much silver.

Chen Dabao looked out with his eyes and said proudly, "After earning so much money, my mother can do it, right? and grandma, these sewing kits are made by grandma." ”

Ah Lu nodded heavily, "Well, my sister and mother can do it." ”

Wang's eyes turned red, and he said, "Alu's leg can finally be cured." ”

Chen Ming was so excited that his body trembled a little, stared at the silver and said, "With so much money, not only can Ah Lu's leg be cured, but it is also enough to add some land to Ah Fu's mother and son, and the family can live a good life." After thinking about it, he pulled two silver ingots of twenty taels in front of him, and pushed the remaining silver in front of Chen Afu. said with a smile, "Dad knows that sewing kits can be sold for so much money, and Ah Fu has the greatest credit." My father and mother will hold a big one this time, leaving forty taels, ten taels for Ah Lu to show his legs, and thirty taels for Ah Lu to build a tiled house when he marries his daughter-in-law. The rest of the money Ah Fu buys a few acres of land, and then leaves some money for Dabao to study and marry a daughter-in-law, and your mother and son will not have to worry about life in the future. ”

Seeing Chen Ming's distribution, Chen Afu had to look up at him, he was really a good man with an open mind.

Chen Afu smiled and mixed all the silver together, first pulled out a silver ingot of twenty taels and said, "This is the money for my brother's legs, ten taels of silver may not be enough, prepare more." He pushed three silver ingots of twenty taels in front of Chen Ming, "These sixty taels have the mother's salary and the daughter's filial piety, and my father must take it." The younger brother not only has to heal his leg, but also goes to school, and his father and mother also have to live a good life. He pulled the remaining thirty-six taels in front of him, "Our mother and son keep this money and use it slowly." Don't buy the land for the time being, and talk about it later when you earn money. ”

Seeing that Chen Ming was still refusing, Wang held down his hand and said, "Boss, you have hurt your daughter for more than ten years, this is the first time she has earned money, and I will pay you filial piety." ”

Her voice was a little choked. She has always been grateful to Chen Ming for treating Chen Afu as her own, and now that Afu finally honors him with his own ability, she is happier than anyone else.

Chen Afu pulled Chen Ming's sleeve a few more times and said, "Dad, you can keep it." You have also seen your daughter's ability, and I will honor you more in the future. ”

Dabao squatted by the window and persuaded, "Grandpa, you see how lovely my mother is, you can take it." ”

Chen Ming nodded and said excitedly, "Good girl, Dad will take it first, Dad never dreamed that he would have so much money." In the future, if Ah Fu and Dabao want to use it, they will come to Daddy to get it. ”

Several people counted the money for selling sewing baskets, a total of more than 3,000 yuan, and six small silver horns. These were kept by the Wang family as the family's expenses.

In the end, Wang and Chen Afu moved the box next to the kang, dug a pit in the ground, and buried the jar where the silver was placed.

Several people discussed that after the house was built, the Wang family would take Ah Lu to Fucheng to treat his legs. Chen Afu especially wanted to go to Fucheng to see, but because she had to take care of Chen Ming, she had to stay at home.

Chen Afu also suggested that the thatch on the roof should be replaced with tiles, as the thatched house is prone to rain leakage. Then there is the fence wall to an adobe wall, which is safe and the privacy of the home is not easy for people to see. Not only did they renovate their newly built houses, but they also changed their old ones.

Chen Ming disagreed, "The new house should indeed have a mud-walled yard, and you two mothers and children live safely, and the cost is not much, so it will be more than the usual money." Rest, wait a minute. How much money our family has earned on the surface today, people can calculate it. A total of more than four dollars, Alu still has to go to Fucheng to see the leg ......"

Having money is especially important for a weak and disabled family like them. Chen Afu also had to agree temporarily.
