Chapter Twenty-Seven: Uncle Sun
Since they have rejected the Zhang family's relatives, there is no need to count on the dowry of the Zhang family, and the Dai family has to find a way to raise money and hoard grain.
Seeing that the tax grain was collected from village by village, and it was about to be received from Puyang Town in a blink of an eye, Sun was anxious in his ears when he heard it.
On this day, Sun made the embroidery work and insoles made with Dai Shuanghong, and made two big burdens, planning to send them to her brother Uncle Sun.
The Sun family also lives in Puyang Town, and the family lives in Sunjia Hutong, which is not far from Dr. Sun's house. Because the old lady of the Sun family is still alive, there is no separation, and dozens of people are crowded in the courtyard of the two entrances, and there are many people making a lot of noise, not to mention many small actions, especially a few granddaughters-in-law like to compare secretly.
In the past, when the Dai family was in a good situation, Sun would be warmly welcomed every time he returned to Sun's house, and several younger brothers and daughters-in-law loved to pull Sun to their own house to talk, as if Sun went to someone's house to sit and there would be gold ingots to pick up, but since the Dai family plummeted, Sun returned to his parents' house, and was guarded by several brothers and daughters-in-law as thieves.
The Sun family has already seen through a few younger siblings, and even a few brothers are cold-hearted, what can be done? The daughter who got married spilled the water, and the younger brothers and daughters-in-law are the real Sun family, and she and her sister Sun Xiaoxiang are just guests at most.
In the past two years, she has been both a father and a mother, and she can't leave a big family to run to the county seat and the city, so she knows that her eldest brother and sister will take some of the money from each embroidery job, and the Sun family can only secretly endure it.
The Sun family has scruples, but Dai Shuanglin does not.
In the past, there was Sun's obstruction, Dai Shuanglin just wanted to go to the county to sell embroidery work by herself, but now the situation is not waiting for anyone, Dai Shuanglin looked at the two big burdens of embroidery, and couldn't bear it for her mother and sister, so she talked to Sun about going to the county seat again, "Mother, dad is a little better now, you don't need to take care of it day and night, or let's go to the county seat, by the way, buy the grain directly, and save how much food you can save back again." ”
"Look at what you said, it doesn't cost you to take the car back and forth? Thirty miles of land with three copper plates for one person, we will have twelve back and forth, Sister Lin, your uncle is going to Fucheng this time, the embroidery price there is good, and we can't lose much...... "The Sun family has long been counted many times, and he will settle the account with Dai Shuanglin by the way.
Dai Shuanglin pursed her lips and disagreed, so she could only say: "This is the money from selling embroidery work, and you can't lose much, so what about the money to buy food?" Uncle can't bring us back the food from Fucheng, right? ”
"......" Sun was silent, this is the truth, every time I go to Fucheng to sell embroidery, I have to go to the county seat to buy food, the eldest brother and daughter-in-law not only take a cut of the embroidery work, but also dig up some of the grain bought, so that her two sons can open a small stove, this time and again, in fact, Uncle Sun went to Fucheng to sell and went to the county to sell, and the money obtained was about the same, so that Sun's heart was active.
"Mother, why don't we go on a walk and go out early......" Dai Shuanglin ruthlessly put forward the idea of not taking a car, isn't it just thirty miles away? In the previous life, many girl compatriots were not afraid of stepping on high heels to go shopping for a day, what was she afraid of wearing flat shoes, this time she definitely had to go to the county seat to see, and she could no longer continue to be a frog at the bottom of the well, and let others search her home layer by layer, and her family had to be grateful to Dade to thank others.
Sun was completely moved by Dai Shuanglin's words, it turned out that Dai Xiangen was inseparable from others, Sister Hong was a big girl, it was not good to go out alone, Sister Lin and Brother Xian were not old enough to let her go far away, so the errand work at home could only be entrusted to the uncles of a few children, and now, as Sister Lin said, it is time for them to go out by themselves, the family is short of money and food, even if there is an extra copper plate, maybe it can also save lives.
made up his mind, Sun deliberately went to his mother's house to tell his younger brother Sun Dawen about it, and he didn't say what would happen in the future, only that this time she was going to go to the county seat to help Dai Xiangen get medicine, so there was no need to trouble Uncle Sun.
Sun Dawen said okay, even if he was slightly unhappy, he didn't show it, after all, he was the sister of a mother's compatriots, and his feelings were there, so he smiled and said politely to Sun: "Eldest sister too, why bother to run for this little thing, just let Sister Lin or Brother Xian say it." ”
"Didn't I stop by to see my father, I haven't seen you in a few days...... Okay, you sit and I'll go see my father," Sun breathed a sigh of relief, got up and said to Sun Dawen.
"Okay......" Before Sun Dawen finished speaking, Jiao's family, who had been eavesdropping outside for a long time, walked in with a curtain, glanced at Sun with a drooping face, turned around and sneered: "Eldest sister, it's good to see the eldest brother-in-law, you won't be able to call Brother Miao and his father in the future, right?" But you don't want to think about it if the eldest brother-in-law has another ......."
Sun's body stiffened, his face was not good, Jiao's words couldn't be more obvious, if she didn't let her younger brother help sell embroidery work today, she wouldn't look for it in the future, even if she looked for it, she wouldn't help.
"What did Brother Miao say? Am I not on the way? Sun is strong on the lips, but the heart is gloomy, once the relationship between relatives involves money, it is like this, and the relatives have become unfamiliar.
"Che, who believes this?" Jiao's eyes rolled for a while, and when he thought of the strings of copper plates and flour, his heart dripped blood, and he couldn't even care about the illusion he usually maintained.
Jiao is the eldest grandson daughter-in-law of the Sun family, gave birth to two grandsons to the Sun family, and almost died because of dystocia when he gave birth to the eldest Brother Miao.
Hey, Sun didn't want to talk to Jiao anymore, and dropped a sentence of "believe it or not", she has met many white-eyed wolves in her life, if she cares about everything, she must not exhaust herself to death, and the most important thing is that she and Jiao are sandwiched between her grandfather and father, and it is difficult for the old man to fall out.
"Sister......" Sun Dawen wanted to say something but was caught back by Jiao's, and he could only watch Sun go out of the house with his body upright, and Jiao's beside him was blocked. I've never seen such a crossing of the river and demolishing the bridge, go ahead, see if the proprietress of the embroidery shop knows you or our Miao brother and his father......"
"Enough, what are you talking about?" Sun Dawen pushed Jiao away, glared at Jiao and walked to chase Sun, when Sun Dawen caught up, he happened to see Sun wiping his tears under the plane tree in his backyard, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister, don't worry about her, she is such a person, just talking." ”
The plane tree, which is thicker than a person, was planted by Sun's grandparents when they got married, and decades have passed, and the grandmother has long since passed away, but the plane tree is so leafy that it covers the sky and the sun, which is Sun's deepest memory of his mother's family.
Afraid of letting the father and mother in the house see it, so Sun hid here to slow down, she was so strong since she was a child, she didn't want people to see her tears, she wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded to her younger brother Sun Dawen and sighed: "Yes, it's just talking, go back, sister is fine......"
