Chapter 9 Rats don't worry about food
Xie Xiang's face was already a little white.
Damn, it's really because of the big reed hen that Xia Xueyi stole to eat.
However, the reason why Xia Xueyi walked out of that deserted garden and casually caught a hen from someone else's house was all because of him......
Xie Xiang remembered clearly, at that time, He Hongyao was in a hurry to tell him to leave quickly, but Xia Xueyi thought that he hadn't eaten lunch.
If he knew that Xia Xueyi would use local materials like this, he would rather be hungry for ten days than really wait stupidly in that deserted garden, reluctantly waiting for Xia Xueyi to get him something to eat?
Actually, between him and Xia Xueyi, they don't really care about what to eat for a meal? They just subconsciously couldn't bear to reunite and part so quickly.
However, they didn't expect that it was just that little hypocrisy that seemed to be a curse that started at the end of Qingping, and it would affect other innocent people so deeply.
Xie Xiang's heart was already on fire, but he really didn't know how to explain it clearly to Ai Ye and Zhang Huzi Li Zhutou, he just felt ashamed and apologetic, and his heart was full of uneasiness, but he really didn't have the courage to reveal the real reason for this matter.
He couldn't imagine that in Xia Xueyi's eyes, an ordinary hen that was born to cook her belly didn't know that for a poor family, it was simply something more important than their lives.
Maybe Aiye's grandfather is counting on this hen to lay an egg every day, and then he takes the egg, or goes to change some oil and salt, or beats the tooth sacrifice for his grandson to add some nutrition.
Thinking about it, Grandpa Li has always regarded this hen as the biggest and only wealth in his poor family, and he has never been willing to eat an egg by himself, so he can't bear the heavy blow of losing this hen.
When those who possess absolute violence and wealth squander a lot of money every day and spend all their days drunk and dreaming of death, they do not know what kind of unpredictable sorrow and disaster a small hen brings to a family of two who depend on each other.
Xie Xiang was a little overly harsh and thought that Ai Ye's grandfather's imprisonment and Ai Ye's various sad cries were all due to him Xie Xiang.
"Uncle, our family did lose a hen......"
Ai Ye, who had almost not eaten a mouthful, suddenly raised his pitiful little face, and reluctantly testified to his grandfather, and tears suddenly fell again.
Ai Ye's cherishing of his own big reed flower is no less than his grandfather, the big reed flower is last year grandpa dug a whole basket of ginseng and Wang Dahu's wife exchanged, Mrs. Wang told that the big reed flower can hatch its own chicks as long as it takes a year, but they still have to feed a rooster.
Later, my grandfather was never able to dig enough baskets of ginseng to exchange for a rooster; Moreover, their family really didn't have so much food to feed, although Ai Ye didn't understand why Da Luhua had to have a rooster to hatch chicks, and later Da Luhua could only lay eggs, but this already made him and his grandfather very happy.
Ai Ye remembers that every day his grandfather sat on the dirt steps at the door and looked at the big reed flower pecking insects at the door, just like looking at a gold ingot that could walk around his family.
In order to prevent the big reed flower from being harmed by the civet cat, the grandfather guarded the cage where the big reed flower rested in front of the bed where their grandparents and grandchildren slept every night, and also covered the outside of the chicken coop with a square protective fence made of red willow tree strips......
I don't know how many laughs and surprises this big reed flower has brought to him and his grandfather when he grows from a half-grown chick to a small hen.
Not to mention that grandpa will work hard with people for that big reed flower, in order to recapture the big reed flower that belongs to them, mugwort leaves will also do!
Li Zhutou sighed: "However, the cattle carried by those few catchers are not Li Laohan's, they passed by an acquaintance Wang Dahu, Wang Dahu rushed to keep them to eat, they had no time, they were afraid that they would not be able to enter the city late to make friends; Wang Dahu simply gave them a few chickens and ducks that were caught and ready to be slaughtered......"
"How could such a coincidence?"
Zhangbeard, who was already a little red-eyed, muttered in surprise.
"It's true, those few catchers didn't want to embarrass an old man from a villager, after all, an old man didn't have much oil and water, but this old man Li was crazy and chased them all the time, cursing indiscriminately and rushing up to fight and rob them, you think about it, this insulting the public is a big crime, not to mention attacking the official for no reason? Hey......"
Li Zhutou shook his head with a sigh.
Zhang Huzi hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Li Zhutou, and pleaded in a low voice: "Master Li, since things are already like this, you have to set up a way, look at this child, it's strange and pitiful......"
"That old man Li must be old and stupid, what kind of madness does he have...... Brother I once received the grace of the old man Li's life, in order to repay this life-saving grace, I have to spend more money on my brother. ”
Xie Xiang also hurriedly stood up and pleaded with Li Zhutou: "Please Li Ye Wanwang for their old and weak, orphans and children, and try to save each other, as for the cost ......" Xie Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "We should make all the offerings." ”
The reason why Xie Xiang gritted his teeth, he knew that he was really a shy person, and saying this kind of thing was really an absolute slap in the face and fat man.
However, he felt that he would definitely not be able to do so.
He and Zhang Huzi are not very familiar with each other, although Zhang Huzi keeps saying that Ai Ye's grandfather once saved his life and is willing to spend money to save Grandpa Li, but Ai Ye is accompanied by him today, and he has to have an attitude no matter what he says.
And Xie Xiang has keenly captured Zhang Huzi's demeanor when he said that he was willing to give up more money, and he was somewhat pretentious, as if he knew that with his Xie Xiang's big shield, he was happy to be a favor.
This person is obviously an old fritter in the market, and he is used to seeing the wind and make the rudder hypocritical, maybe he feels that he owes Ai Ye Grandpa a favor is true, but he is not willing to spend more money may be true.
Therefore, Xie Xiang felt that he and Ai Ye really wanted to rely on him to pay for Grandpa Li, which was a little unreliable no matter how you looked at it.
For the first time, Xie Xiang felt the embarrassment and pain of not having a lot of money on his body.
Suddenly, he began to regret that he had been muddled all these years, and it didn't matter if he didn't respect Baguwen, fake Qinggao was his Xie Xiang's fault.
Anyway, he should have followed Liu Shang to mix up more at the beginning, learned some of Liu Shang's smart mind of all kinds of shrewd business skills, and pulled all kinds of business connections on the rivers and lakes that could make money, thinking about how much Liu Shang valued him at the beginning, although he didn't want to slap him Xie Xiaoyu, but at least he could teach him how to make money.
However, he missed a golden opportunity to cultivate into an ancient business elite.
It's okay now, it's really a lot of money when it's used, and I read some inexplicable eight-strand text in my stomach in vain, what's the use?
Xie Xiang never thought carefully that one day he would suddenly be in a situation where he was in need of money.
If you ask yourself, he doesn't despise doing business and making money, he's just used to being lazy and doesn't care about anything.
He would rather lie on a swing and watch the butterflies flying overhead to think about it without bounds, rather than really use his ingenuity to make his life plan go further.
The smart Xie Xiaoyu has been living a day as a monk and hitting the clock for a long time in the past, and even, sometimes he really doesn't even bother to hit the clock, and he can't wait for the bell to take the initiative to hit him.
Now, he has been punished by the kind of rat who does not worry about the food.
It turned out that he was talking about people like him Xie Xiang.
Most of the taels of silver that Daddy had given him when he was leaving had been tossed by him, and a small half was stored in the inn's package; If Ai Ye's grandfather really needed to save Ai Ye, he had to do it all.
This doesn't seem to be negotiable.
As for how to live in the future, Xie Xiang couldn't help but sigh deeply in his heart, let it be fate.
Li Zhutou had already thought about it and said: "It's really not a matter of money, so let's do it, anyway, I'll try to let you meet Li Laohan first, and you go and have a look first...... Decide for yourselves, who will take this child? Then, let's discuss how to deal with it. ”
After Li Zhutou said this, he didn't say more, lowered his head and began to concentrate on eating the dishes on the table, drinking one bite at a time.
Xie Xiang suddenly smelled some kind of ominous omen from Li Zhutou's tone of wanting to speak and stopping.
But the young Ai Ye didn't think much about it, and as soon as he heard that he could go to see his grandfather soon, his face suddenly showed a joy that he couldn't wait.
"Brother Childe, you can go with me."
Ai Ye is a childish nature, and he made his debut without even thinking about it.
A hint of imperceptible embarrassment suddenly flashed across Zhang's bearded face.
Damn, I'm bothering to find someone to lead the way for you, and you still can't be trusted and close in the eyes of your little cub?
Xie Xiang hurriedly said: "Ai Ye, don't be too anxious, I accompany you and Uncle Zhang accompany you are the same, this has to be arranged by Master Li." ”
Although Li Zhutou said that he would let them decide for themselves, Xie Xiang felt that it was more appropriate to ask Li Zhutou to make arrangements.
Sure enough, when Li Zhutou heard Xie Xiang say this, he really raised his head and looked at the faces of him and Zhang Huzi, and then said with a smile: "It's better for Gongzi Xie to take this child with him, Lao Zhang, don't think about it too much, Gongzi Xie is a little more gentle in life, and I can talk more or less when I take it in." ”
Xie Xiang was secretly glad that he was not wrong.
Li Zhutou said that it was just polite words, in fact, he had a plan in his heart, but he just refused to take the initiative to say it, otherwise it would seem that he was too big and had no one in his eyes.
Li Zhutou is the real ** lake, you can't see that it's your own stupidity.
