Chapter 16: Concealment
"Xi'er, why don't we sit at the door of the house? The second uncle has finished paying the car. Yun Duo didn't understand a little, but he also felt that the little sister seemed to be a little different today, and there should be a reason for asking them to get off the car at this time, so he didn't insist.
Xiao Shi also looked at the third sister puzzled, it was rare to take a carriage, and he hadn't sat enough.
Sure enough, Qixi first buried his head in looking at the food brought back from the baggage, thought about it, and then raised his head and replied: "Second sister, stone, I don't want my family to know about our entry into the town today, especially now that we have earned silver, this is not a small amount, and the wealth is not exposed, if they let them know the way, what will you think?"
Naturally, it is not a small amount, Xiaobaili Village is a very wealthy village in the vicinity, but there are few families who dare to say that they can earn thirty taels of silver in a year, let alone thirty taels, deducting the family's food for a year, and being able to save a dozen or so taels, they are all very solid people.
And Qixi has other plans, the silver is naturally to be used at a critical time, which will earn thirty taels, but I haven't moved the idea of spending anything to buy.
Yun Duo only cared about being happy and forgot this, listening to what the little sister said, thinking of the six white silver ingots in his arms, he couldn't help but caress them tightly, nodded with some fear: "You can't tell them to know the way, if you know the way, this silver will definitely have to go, we can't give it to them, let's just get off here." ”
"Second sister, you're right, the silver is earned by us, it belongs to our family, whoever wants us won't give it, even if my father and mother want to take the silver and hand it over to the master, we can't agree. Qixi nodded, and pulled the sister and brother to the side of the road, avoiding the location at the entrance of the village.
"Do you want to give it to Daddy?" the clouds widened, and the little stone followed with an expression.
"Don't give. Qixi said categorically: "Sister, it's not that we have to protect the silver, think about it, my father and mother have no silver in their hands over the years, why?"
"That's ...... That's all the money in the family from grandma, if we want to use silver, we ask grandma. Yun Duo thought about the situation at home over the years, and said with some hesitation.
"Is that coming?" Qixi immediately picked up: "Don't talk about it, let's just say that our father is sick this year, if it weren't for the family not to ask for a doctor early, and then not to make up for it, our father can drag his body so weak now?"
The clouds and stones lowered their heads, and they all knew that the Qixi Festival was right, and they had seen their mothers in private so distressed that they shed tears, saying why can't they be nourished, how can they look at it like this. The mother's temperament is very good, and she never complains about anything, if it wasn't too much, she would be forced to cry for a while.
"Think about it again, if this is replaced by the eldest uncle and the second uncle's family, will this be the case?" Qixi guided them little by little and said: "I don't believe that the eldest uncle and the second uncle are so fine, there will be no silver in their hands, and our grandmother's family is not bad, usually our mother goes back to my grandmother's house, and the things that are used for food are not less to take back, our mother is filial, and she gave it to her grandmother when she comes back, and as a result, who sees where the things go, in the end our family can't get anything, and we don't even dare to get sick. ”
"Then, the food we brought back is also hidden from grandma?" Qixi is okay, as soon as I say that the grievances in Yunduo's heart are overwhelming, I have seen my father and mother embarrassed for so many years, and my mind suddenly came to life.
"Hide it. I didn't think that Xiaoshi rushed to speak, and was a little embarrassed by the two sisters, but she still pursed her lips and said: "Keep the delicious food for my father and mother, as well as my brother and sister, silver...... The silver healed my father's illness and replenished his body. ”
Qixi was a little sad when he heard this, the seven-year-old child, and also knew that his father was weak and couldn't eat and couldn't make up for it, so he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the head of the stone: "The stone is good, it's okay, our father and mother can eat anything in the future, it's late today, wait for tomorrow sister to catch fish, cook fish soup for dad to drink, that can also be made up." ”
"Well, the fish soup is delicious, let my father and mother drink it, as well as the eldest brother and the second brother. "The stone is still a child after all, and I am happy when I hear it. After convincing the two, the three sisters and brothers found some hay and branches on the side of the road, tied them together, put the burden in the middle and hid it, and put a net bag on it, so that no one could see it outside, so they went home.
Entering the courtyard door is also cautious, Xiaoshi first probed in to see, the people in each room are in the house at this time, and the cook is still led by the Li family with the two daughters.
Hurriedly took advantage of no one to take the burden back to their house, as soon as the door was closed, the sisters and brothers were relieved, this way I was scared, for fear of being seen, I don't know how many pairs of eyes in the yard stared, they were all worried about their home, and they wanted to scrape their house to nothing.
"Go and bring the basket from the kang cabinet. Qixi and the second sister took out the things and put them on the kang table, turned their heads to look at them, and called the stone.
"Sister, what's wrong with your hand?" Xiao Shi obediently took the basket and handed it over, and saw a black mark on the third sister's finger with sharp eyes, grabbed it, and asked with wide eyes.
"What's wrong?" Qixi looked at the hand that was grabbed by her younger brother, and somehow, she felt as if after she glanced at it, the mark had disappeared a little, and when she looked at it again, there was no change, so she smiled and said: "It's okay, maybe when it's rubbed, it doesn't hurt." ”
"Sister, be careful, my mother said that girls can't have scars on their bodies. Little Stone frowned and instructed solemnly.
Qixi was amused, seven-year-old child, I'm afraid I don't really understand why it's good to leave no scars on a girl's body, maybe my mother said so, he remembered it,
But as soon as the stone said this, she looked down and frowned, and the finger was not rubbed or hurt, but it always hurt from time to time, and every time she looked at it or touched it, it didn't hurt, as if she wanted to attract her attention.
Before dinner, the family was busy, and even the clouds went to help her mother cook, and she didn't have time to show her father and mother the things on Qixi Festival.
The eldest brother and the second brother have also come back early, and they are chopping wood in the yard, and they have to come over to comfort them when they look at their faces.
What's more, Qixi Xian now has thirty taels of silver in her hand, she thinks that reading is a big deal, and she has to let her two brothers re-enter the school as soon as possible, so it is a matter of time before she goes back, and let them come down to work for a while, and she can't say that she will cherish the opportunity to study more in the future.
Before the meal began, the old lady of the Shen family, Zhang, came back, taking her second daughter-in-law and several granddaughters in the second room of the big house, carrying a large bag and a small bag when she left, and she came back with more than when she left.
