Chapter 17 I won't live
Shen Yunfang was speechless, how could anything be put on the line. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The cow dung of the public house and the ownerless cow dung, that is, where these cows can't help it, and here is the concentration point, do you want cow dung to follow behind the old cow's butt in the future?
"No, uncle, I don't want to use it to make fertilizer, I think my firewood is not enough, I went to the mountains today to pick it up, there is nothing left, I ......" Hey, she said a little incoherent.
Shen Yunfang only knew that cow dung could be burned as firewood when it was dried, but he had never burned cow dung in his two lives together, so he didn't know if what he said was right or not, and he was a little apprehensive when he looked at Shen Yeqing's eyes.
Although her words were not explained, they also made Shen Yeqing understand, his serious face turned from black to red, then became sad again, and finally sighed heavily.
"Hey, you said that you kid, why don't you tell your uncle if you have difficulties."
My uncle is still derelict in his responsibility, he didn't take care of the orphans of his younger brother's family, in a mountainous area like theirs, the child has no firewood to burn, and can only pick up cow dung. He was embarrassed when he said it.
"It's not a difficult ......"
"Okay, don't talk about it, I'll ask your second brother to go to the mountain tomorrow and hook some branches for you to come down. Let him take you to the pine forest to the south and pick up some pine branches, which will be enough to burn for a winter. "Firewood is really not a difficult thing in this mountainous area, if the policy does not allow it, it is enough to put a few trees.
Shen Yunfang really didn't know that there was a pine forest on the back mountain, if he could find it and use the space to decorate more pine branches back, it would be perfect.
"Don't do it, come out quickly, Uncle is looking for you for something." Shen Yeqing's words interrupted Shen Yunfang's thoughts.
She looked at the cow dung at her feet, and she was really reluctant.
The little expression on her face made Shen Yeqing, who had a serious face, laugh and cry. Why is this kid still optimistic about this cow dung?
"Hey, tell me about your child, this cow dung belongs to the public, and we can't take advantage of the public." Shen Yeqing said earnestly.
Shen Yunfang's answer was to roll her eyes secretly.
Shen Yeqing looked at his niece's pursed mouth, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Just this time, if you want cow dung, you have to pick it up on the road yourself." ”
Shen Yunfang nodded happily, as long as she gave her these cow dung.
This time, she walked out of the cowshed neatly, between cow dung and the uncle, how can it be that the uncle is also important.
"Uncle, you just said that you have something to do with me, what's the matter?"
Shen Yeqing pretended to be deep at this time, looked at his niece for a while, and then sighed and said: "I asked your aunt to load a hundred catties of bud rice for you, you can carry it with me in a while, but let's say okay first, this is the last time." In the future, you can do it yourself. Your father is a martyr, and you can't disgrace him as a bereaved family. ”
Shen Yunfang nodded in the back, okay, as long as she is given a buffer period, she is confident that her small life will be prosperous, even in this era when she is not allowed to do anything. But to be honest, as the bereaved family of a martyr, she really didn't feel any honor, but felt that every time she was mentioned, it seemed to remind her again that she was a poor child without a father.
Shen Yeqing led his niece to his house.
"Old woman, what about the bud rice I asked you to pack for Yun Fang?" As soon as Shen Yeqing entered the courtyard, he shouted into the house.
As a result, the house was quiet.
Shen Yunfang looked at it, and retracted his head again, it is estimated that no one will be happy to borrow grain, maybe this is a meat bun beating a dog.
Shen Yeqing went into the house to look around, but he didn't see it, and he immediately understood in his heart that he was unhappy and deliberately hid out.
"Xiu, where did your mother go?" Shen Yeqing pushed open the girl's door and asked when he saw that she was sitting on the kang with the soles of her shoes.
"How do I know?" Shen Yunxiu also rolled her eyes at Shen Yunfang, she was really shameless, she ate and drank for nothing in her own house, and now she still wants to take it for nothing.
Her last sentence was whispering, but everyone present should have heard it.
"I still don't believe in this, I can't get food when people aren't at home, you don't pretend, I'll pretend myself." Shen Yeqing didn't look for anyone anymore, and strode to his house, preparing to open the cellar and get grain by himself.
Aunt Shen, who was hiding at the gate of the courtyard and looking into the house, saw that the old man wanted to take food for herself, and she couldn't care about anything, so she rushed into the house and dragged Shen Yeqing, "Oh, you dead ghost, you don't want to live by it, you have children and daughters, you don't know, you want to starve our mother." Oh my God, what kind of sin have I created, I have worked hard every day, and in the end, this food may not be given to anyone, who will be the master of me. Aunt Shen's crying and singing skills did not forget to pull Shen Yeqing ruthlessly.
"Shut up, I'm not dead yet." Shen Yeqing turned around and wanted to snatch his clothes.
"Auntie, uncle, don't quarrel." Shen Yunfang was speechless.
"Hmph, you're happy now, you're restless to my family." Shen Yunxiu stood at the door and looked at her hatefully.
Shen Yunfang ignored Shen Yunxiu, she knew the crux of the matter, so she said directly to Aunt Shen: "Auntie, I didn't take your food for nothing, so let's do it, I'll give the money according to the price." ”
Aunt Shen's crying came to an abrupt end.
"You want to buy it? Do you have any money? I don't need an IOU. Aunt Shen couldn't believe her.
"Don't worry, my mother left me some money, as long as the price is not too high, I should be able to buy some." She still has reservations about what she said, but she knows from reading novels that although there was no free market during this period, there was a black market in the city, and the grain there was two or three times that of the grain store, that is, one pound of rice, and it would cost two cents a dime to buy normally, but if you bought it on the black market, it would cost more than three cents and one catty.
"We are all real relatives, how can we ask you for a high price." Aunt Shen immediately changed her face.
"No, what kind of money do you want, you can borrow the grain and wait for you to pay it back next year." Shen Yeqing resolutely disagreed.
How can this work, isn't this speculation, if you are caught, you will be criticized.
"Oh, you go, I'll talk to Yun Fang." Aunt Shen was afraid that this matter would make the old man stir up, so she hurried to catch him up.
"You old lady, do you want me to be taken off, ask for money, it's not speculation." Shen Yeqing stomped his feet in a hurry.
When Aunt Shen heard this, she was taken aback, it was so serious.
"Oh, uncle, how can you say something, my aunt is pitiful that I don't have anything to eat, give me some food, I see that my aunt is worried about my cousin's marriage and no money, so I will take some money in advance, the two things don't match, it's normal movement between relatives, don't give us a platform." Shen Yunfang is most afraid that this matter will be yellow, if she really doesn't give her food, how will she live in the next year.
"Yes, that's the reason." Aunt Shen slapped her thigh.
"I don't care about you anymore." Uncle Shen patted his trouser leg and left.
Shen Yunfang and Aunt Shen looked at each other, this is agreed.
So the two of them discussed the price of food.
In the grain store, rice is one cent and two pounds, flour is one cent and sixty-one pounds, and cornmeal is seven and a pound.
In the end, the agreed price was two cents a pound of rice, one cent a pound of cornmeal, and less flour, so she didn't sell it.
Shen Yunfang thought for a while and asked for fifty catties of rice and one hundred catties of cornmeal. It's a total of twenty dollars.
It's not that you can't buy more rice, it's just that Shen Yunfang is afraid that she will be too dazzling, so let's come safely. Of course, she and Aunt Shen also said that only her family knows, and it is best not to tell others.
In the end, Brother Zhijie and Brother Zhiwen carried her home with a bag each.
