Chapter 58: Save money for food

Yaya said that she would rather skip lunch for Sister Gui'er, in order to cultivate her to know how to match her words and deeds, the Xia family really didn't let her eat lunch, but the child is small, and she is doing good deeds, how can she be willing to be an adult to be really hungry for her, less than half an hour after lunch, You Shi made an excuse to give Yaya a piece of snack. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Then Yaya took Yun Gu home to play, and the Huang family used the excuse of taking care of the guests, and also let the two little girls eat a snack, which was given by Xia Lianxin, which is a luxury for the current Xia family, so You Shi doesn't have to worry about her daughter not having lunch.

It's Xia Shiming, he was punished for not eating lunch, and he also went to collect firewood when Xiahou went to work in the field in the afternoon, and You and Huang couldn't find a chance to give him snacks.

You Shi was most worried about this matter, and when she finished delivering the things, she hurriedly went to the kitchen to prepare for cooking, but when she saw that there was a pot on the stove, the rice in the pot had been cooked.

"I boiled the medicine, and I saw that my sister-in-law was busy, so I couldn't help but just cook the meal. Xia Lily, who was preparing to stir-fry, said.

The third sister must also be worried that Shi Ming is hungry, she has always hurt Shi Ming the most! Thinking so, You Shi was very grateful: "There is the third sister of Lao, you go and rest, I'll stir-fry." ”

"Today, there is ash on the kang at home, I want to clear my lungs, so I wash the white radish, and now it's summer, I'm worried that the bacon can't be put in. Xia Lily pointed to the white radish and meat slices that had been cut on the board.

White radish is a very common vegetable, it is sold in the neighboring village, you can buy two for a penny, Xia Lily does not wash it You also plan to make it tonight or tomorrow, You Shi is distressed by bacon, if she comes to cut a few slices at most, so that the dish has a meaty taste, Xia Lily is cut enough to have three or four taels.

"The third sister is right, it's a pity to throw away the bacon if it's going to be bad. You Shi thought that Xia Lily must be looking for a reason to let Xia Shiming eat some good supplements, of course he couldn't refuse.

Handed over the kitchen work to You Shi, Xia Lihe took the prepared medicinal oil to meet Xia Hou: "Dad, when I went to Jiangdong to find my second sister, a farmer passing by told me to take some herbs and oil to match, and apply them to your face to have the effect of repelling mosquitoes, and you should be able to use it when you work in the field." ”

"Okay, I'll try it tomorrow. "After the house was smoked, no mosquitoes came in, and Xiahou was confident in his youngest daughter's ability.

Xia Lily sat obediently after sending the medicinal oil, she was also confident in the medicinal oil, this was their Zhu family's special secret recipe, the smell was small and powerful, and it was necessary for the jungle march.

Xia Hou looked at his little daughter who didn't speak and was a little strange: "What, you're just here to deliver medicinal oil?"

Otherwise, Xia Lily was not slow to react: "What else is more important than the health of my father and eldest brother and second brother?"

Xia Hou smiled, and stopped going around in circles with his daughter: "I thought you were going to intercede for Shi Ming." "The Xia family loves Xia Shiming the most is Xia Lily, which is recognized by the whole family.

What is the Xia family teaching the child what is she interfering with? Besides, she can protect Xia Shiming for a month, and she can protect him for the rest of his life?" "The punishment is over, and she doesn't have to say much.

"I thought you would blame your father and your eldest brother, we punished him heavily, after all, he was still sick. Xiahou's words showed that he was regretting.

"If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, this is to say that the big is big, and the small is to say, our family eats alone, and other people's families can see it? Sending things is gagged by them, so I approve of my father's work. Xia Lily looked down at the extra shadow on the ground and said.

“…… Don't say this to the child...... "Actually, the reason why Xiahou wants to send things is not because he wants to be poor and generous, he is just afraid that others will cause trouble, but the reader talks about benevolence and righteousness, he doesn't want his eight-year-old grandson to become a philistine, and he doesn't even want his daughter to understand."

"Shi Ming is the eldest grandson of the Xia family, has his father figured out the path he wants to take in the future?" Xia Lily doesn't think that it is for their good not to tell their children anything, such as the real "Xia Lily", if she has the experience of going out to live independently, she may not be able to escape from the Lotus Nunnery, if she leaves early, how can she die due to the epidemic.

"He's only eight years old, so let's wait until I'm done. "It's easy to plan in the future, Xiahou doesn't even know if the Xia family can live in Jiangbei for a long time.

"I'm back, look what I'm bringing back!" Xia Zhong talked about sending Mama Lu and Ruizhu, who were walking very slowly, into the county seat, to watch them and the dart bureau go back, and to go to the yamen to report that their Xia family was still honest, which took a day's time, but when he came back, it was just the time when the Xia family was going to have dinner.

"When I come back, I wash my hands and eat first, so I don't have to leave it for you. You Shi greeted first.

"Let's see what I've brought back. Xia Zhong put the cloth pocket in his hand on the table as if offering a treasure, and carefully untied it, there was actually a bunch of eggs inside!?

"There are still eggs at home, what are you doing with so many of them?" Xia Hou was not happy to see it, the Xia family had a little money, but the money had to be spent on the blade.

"One, two, three...... Nine, ten, ten!" The maid who heard that the second uncle had come back and entered the hall was very greedy for a pile of eggs, and stretched out her hand to count them.

"It's ten, Yaya is so smart!" Xia Zhong touched the little niece's head with appreciation, and then explained, "Our neighboring village sells eggs for five cents a piece, which is really expensive, I went back to the county town and asked, people pay three for ten yuan, I paid him for three, and I bought ten for thirty yuan!"

"Thirty wen can only buy six in the neighboring village, and this time there are four more, which is equivalent to saving twenty wen, and twenty wen can buy three catties of millet!" Xia Shiming couldn't help but settle the score.

"Who said it wasn't!" If it weren't for this reason, Xia Zhongtan wouldn't be willing to pay so much at one time.

"It's still the second brother's flexible brain, we didn't think about asking the price when we went into the city before, and brought back things that were cheaper than the neighboring villages, and now the younger brother and sister and Xiaoshi can eat a few more. Xia Boxi also praised his younger brother, recalling that he had entered the city before and came back empty-handed, and he really regretted it.

Xia Zhongtan corrected his eldest brother's words: "Everyone eats eggs when they are cheap, and my father should make up for them when he is old, Shi Ming is still sick, and Yaya is also growing up!"

"Who said that I am old and my father's hair is not gray, just give these things to the children. Xia Hou deliberately kept a straight face, but he was very relieved to see that the big room took care of the second room, and the second room knew that he was grateful.

“…… Thirty Wen bought eggs, then second brother, have you eaten at noon?" You Shi suddenly remembered, so she gave Xia Zhong thirty Wen lunch money!

In the past, every time he went back to the city, You only gave Xia Boxi or Xia Zhong five wen money, you could buy two baked cakes or a bowl of somen noodles, so that people could eat enough, and now the money is finally sufficient, You Shi gave Xia Zhong thirty wen at a time, but he spent a whole thirty wen to buy eggs.

Xia Zhongtan didn't have any private money, he didn't even know how to hide his private money, and when he heard his sister-in-law ask him, he replied honestly: "What does it matter if you don't eat a meal, I'm full of noodles in the morning, and I'm not hungry now! Mama Lu and Ruizhu ate with the dart masters." "He didn't treat anyone badly, and he didn't take advantage of others.

How can you not be hungry! You Shi hurriedly put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, the food was served, Xia Hou and Xia Boxi pulled Xia Zhongtan to sit down quickly, and even the maid pushed the rice bowl in front of Xia Zhongtan: "Second uncle is really amazing, I can't stand being hungry after just skipping lunch for a while!"

"Didn't Yaya eat at noon?" Xia Zhong talked about going out in the morning and coming back in the evening, and he didn't know what happened at home.

"Yaya is for friends...... Xia Bo looked at his daughter with appreciation, and told his second brother about today's big and small things in the family.

What's the matter today, several people in the Xia family haven't eaten lunch? Xia Lihe thought it was interesting, she looked at Xia Shiming, this kid tried his best to be silent and hide in the shadows, yes, he was punished for not eating.

Everyone ate dinner, and after eating, Xia Lily began to discuss tomorrow with Xia Hou: "Dad, I heard that there is a mountain near the crop field where you work, is that big mountain?"

"To be precise, the land we planted is against the mountain, so every time we go down to work in the field, we also let Shi Ming pick up some firewood at the foot of the mountain, the mountain doesn't look big, but we don't dare to let the children go inside, although we haven't heard of wild beasts, but it's not easy to get lost. ”

"There is a lot of firewood at the foot of the mountain, so must the plants in the mountain be luxuriant?" Xia Lily pondered.

"It looks lush, what do you want to do?" Xia Hou said and found that his little daughter didn't seem to be just chatting with him?

"Let's see if there are any medicinal herbs, doesn't it mean that there are treasures in the mountains? If you really want to collect herbs and sell them in the county, your family can have more income, right?" Xia Lily really wants to see the good medicinal materials that were born and grown in ancient times.

Xia Hou thought of the hundreds of thousands of silver tickets brought back by his daughter: "Three girls, you really don't have to work so hard, your dowry father and your brother and sister-in-law will not move, you just need to stay at home with peace of mind, and after a while, your father will find you a good family affair, and it is only right to marry out in a beautiful scenery." ”

"Just because you refuse to touch this money, watching Yaya save life-saving noodles from her lunch for friends, watching the eldest brother and sister-in-law reluctant to burn kang in their own house, watching the second brother skip lunch just to buy a few more eggs, watching your father work in the field every day, can I swallow that money with peace of mind?"

Xia Lily was sincerely distressed, originally she brought back the huge amount of money left by the original owner to her family, and she was very relieved to see that the Xia family treated money very rationally, not ostentatiously or squandering, and was sure that this money would not bring disaster to the Xia family instead.

But the Xia family's subsequent behavior shows that they always think that this money belongs to Xia Lily, and they will be very distressed if they move a tael of silver, so how will she leave in the future, she is afraid that she will leave the money and leave, the Xia family still does not move the huge amount of money to keep for her, she will never come back, what is the use of her returning this money to the Xia family?

"How do you call it a monopoly, your eldest sister and second sister go out, which one is not ten miles of red makeup, your eldest brother and second brother marry, the dowry is still turning from the street to the alley, your mother said that she will leave you the most generous dowry, these fathers are still missing you!" Xia Hou still insisted, he was most sorry for this little daughter.
