The earthen house where the old lady lived was just over a minute away from their home, and after the brothers of the Liu family got married, the houses they built were all built on the same place according to the old lady's wishes.

So, their area is very lively.

In addition to the brothers and sisters of the Liu family and the old lady, there are also several other families in Zhao's hometown who also live here.

When Liu Xiaping arrived at the old lady's house with the rice bag, several other people who came to return the grain also arrived.

Except for the eldest uncle's family, no one came over at all, and the third uncle's family also sent a cousin over.

Few of the daughters of the Liu family in her generation are pampered, because the old lady is patriarchal, even if she is eccentric, she still has to value her grandchildren more for her grandchildren.

Even if she treats her grandchildren badly for the most part.

Liu Xiaping sometimes can't figure out what the old lady thinks, even if she doesn't care for her granddaughter, she must value her grandchildren, but it's good to be here at her house, she doesn't love her granddaughter or her grandson, and the only love is given to the youngest sister-in-law and uncle.

"Sister Ping, are you also coming over to return the food?" The one who spoke was Liu Xiahe, the youngest daughter of the third uncle Liu Guoai's family, who was only fifteen years old this year.

Due to malnutrition, this girl is not only thin, but even her hair is very yellow, her eyes are rolling around, looking at the old lady's black face, she can't help but shrink her neck.

Liu Xiaping has a sympathetic attitude towards most of her cousins in the family, but even if everyone has the same experience, their hearts and eyes are different.

For example, Liu Xiahe, although she is not much better treated at home than her, is a girl with her own ideas.

She still remembers that in her previous life, Liu Xiahe got married in a hurry when she was just eighteen years old, and her in-laws' family was far away from her mother's house, and she never came back.

This girl is very young, and she is also very resentful, and she was tossed and scared by the third uncle and three aunts, so she simply hid far away, as a father and mother who did not have that pair of eccentric eyes.

But Liu Xiaping knows that if she is really cold, what married girl is willing to have no support from her mother's family?

Isn't it because the third uncle and three aunts are unreliable, so they hide far away, otherwise let alone backering, maybe they will drag it down.

Liu Xiahe is a decisive character, she can see since she was a child, this little cousin is much stronger than her.

Nodding, she felt good about Liu Xiaping, so she mentioned two sentences, "Don't rush over first, wait for the fourth uncle to bring the grain over first." ”

Liu Xiahe was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and just stood beside her, watching the fourth uncle carry half a bag of rice noodles into the old house.

"Mom, they're all shameless brutes! You're pigs! So much food is returned, you have to be angry with me, an old woman, to be willing! ”

There is not much food back from each family, basically eating with an open belly in the past few days, anyway, everyone is clear in their hearts, even if the food is returned, they can't eat a few bites, so each family still hides so much food.

"The old lady really hit the ghost! All the people who were born were debt collectors, and the little cubs wished that I, an old woman, would die! ”

The old lady howled as if singing, and it was nothing but thunder and rain, and it was all noise.

The people of the Liu family all lowered their heads, listening to the old lady's scolding, and no one felt uncomfortable.

"Mother, aren't we going to get all the food back? If you don't, then we'll take it back. ”

The fourth uncle, Liu Guoming, also had a headache when he heard the old lady's crying voice.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a baby in his family, he wouldn't be so embarrassed in front of his juniors.

Who knew that when he said this, not only did he not let the old lady rest, but pointed at his nose even more and began to scold, and directly scolded people for a bloody head before he would stop.

Liu Xiaping's sisters watched the old lady make trouble, until the fourth uncle finally persuaded her, and then carefully carried the bag into the stove room.

And every time she put down a bag of grain, the old lady's face would become more and more gloomy.

Liu Xiaping put the grain and hurriedly slipped away.

This old lady is like a crazy woman, and if she goes to her again, she will definitely be beaten.

Liu Xiahe also ran after her.

It wasn't until I stood between the ridges, a few dozen meters away from the courtyard of the old house, that I stopped.

Then the two sisters looked at each other and laughed in unison.

After the rain, the field path is very muddy, and the small grass blades on the roadside are still accumulating raindrops, which look verdant and vigorous after the baptism of rain.

It's not yet noon, Liu Xiaping is not in a hurry to go back, Liu Xiahe obviously doesn't want to go back and be scolded, seeing that her cousin is silent, she took the initiative to say, "Sister Ping, I heard Sister He say that you went to take the college entrance examination a while ago, is it true?" ”

Liu Xiaping nodded, this matter has already been in an uproar, and she doesn't have to deny it.

Liu Xiahe's eyes flashed with envy, and she said enviously, "I also want to go to college in the city, so that I don't have to work at home, and I will be beaten and scolded." ”

Liu Xiahe is two years younger than her, but her height is less than 1.55 meters, nearly half a head shorter than her, and she looks humble and weak.

Liu Xiaping couldn't help but reach out and rub her messy hair, and said with a smile, "You study hard, and you will have the opportunity to go to school in the city in the future." ”

"How can it be so easy, Sister Xia...... My parents won't give me money to go to school, and the money will be kept for my brother to marry a daughter-in-law. Liu Xiahe's eyes darkened, and she said with some unpleasant taste.

There is no separation yet, and the brothers of the Liu family do not have much money in their hands, and the big head is still concentrated in the hands of the old lady.

Even Liu Xiaping's family can now make up two yuan, which is a lot of money, not to mention the money for school.

Thinking like this, Liu Xiahe looked at her worriedly, "Sister Xia, where is the money saved, if you are admitted to university, where will you get the money to go to school?" ”

Liu Xiaping smiled, "Earn it yourself, anyway, I don't know if I can get in, why do you want to do that." ”

Liu Xiahe still wanted to ask a few words, but seeing that she didn't want to say more, she closed her mouth and followed behind her buttocks.

Zhao's hometown lives by the mountains, in addition to an acre of land, there are many wild fruit trees on both sides of the ridge, the rice dates have begun to hang fruit in the past two days, and they can be picked in August.

Liu Xiaping pretended to have something in her heart and looked all the way.

After the end of WG in 77 years, the policy did not restrict the people from doing business, but the first ten years were too impressive to the people, and it was not until the eighty-one year that there was a policy for self-employed people, and then someone slowly did business, but not many people dared to speculate at this time.

Knowing that she would definitely be able to pass the exam, Liu Xiaping began to calculate in her heart.

The money earned could neither be given to the old lady nor taken by Lin Cuihua, and while the notice had not yet come down, she had to think of a way to save some money.
