Chapter 16 Borrowing money
"The children finally tossed some money, and it was almost gone so soon, but the money owed always had to be repaid, and others had to live. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Father Liu touched Xu's hand, "It'll always get better." ā
Xu counted the money, and scooped half a bowl of fried bread, "Mother will go to your Uncle Tieshan's house and come back in a while." ā
"Mother, I'm going too, I haven't seen Xiaojuan for a few days, I'll go talk to her." Xiaoya wants to follow, and Heiya also wants to go, mainly because she has to recognize everyone in the village first.
Zhao Tieshan's house is not far away, three or four minutes away.
Just as I walked to the gate, I heard a suppressed cry inside. "Mother, mother, don't sell Xiaojuan, she is also your own granddaughter, I and Tie Shan will give you all the money we earn, let's save money together for Tie Niu to marry a daughter-in-law, don't sell Xiaojuan."
"Don't I hurt if you hurt Xiaojuan, I don't want to sell her, the family just wants to find a child daughter-in-law for their son, tell me that Xiaojuan used to be raised as a daughter, the family conditions are good, Xiaojuan will not suffer if she goes, Tie Niu is twenty-two, you have to let him be an old bachelor for the rest of his life." The other old voice was also crying, and it didn't seem to be messing around.
Xu Shi was very embarrassed, and felt that he had come at the wrong time, but he couldn't just watch Xiaojuan being sold, a child daughter-in-law, and if it didn't sound good, she would be a little maid. How can Iron Mountain do this?
But it's all here, and it's not good to listen to the foot of the wall all the time, so I can only take a few steps back and cough heavily, "Is Sister Cuixi at home?" ā
There was a panic in the courtyard, and after a while, I heard Tian Cuixi pretend to be happy to answer.
The courtyard door opened, Xu Shi pretended not to see her red eyes, and raised the things in his hand, "I made fried noodles at home, I'll send you some." ā
"Sister-in-law is polite, come in." Tian Cuixi turned around, wiped his face with his sleeve again, and greeted with a smile.
When the black girl was outside the door, she pulled Xiaoya back a few steps, and waited for the courtyard door to open before she went in and called Aunt Tian, saying that she wanted to play with Xiaojuan.
"Xiaojuan is in the house, you can go find her yourself."
Xu put down the things in his hand, and took out the five hundred wen in his arms, "Xiaoshan inadvertently saved someone, that person gave a thank you gift of one or two silver, I knew the situation in your family, just now I shouldn't have let Xiaoshan go to his uncle's house to return the three hundred wen, my family still has two hundred wen left, and I will let Heiya send it in a while." You tell Aunt Zhao well, she is also a child, if it weren't for the Tieniu brothers' age, she wouldn't be so anxious. ā
Xu's words were said to Tie Shan Niang in the room, after all, it was a family, no matter how noisy it was, they would still have to live under one roof in the future.
"Who says it's not," Tie Shanniang came out of the house, wiping her tears, "I also inquired about that family, and I did it as a kind person." Xiaojuan is the one I look at, how can I not hurt her. ā
"Mother......" Tian Cui looked at her mother-in-law with a pleading face, "I can't bear it." ā
"Hey, forget it, if you don't want to, you don't want to, let's find a way to make it up, and I'm reluctant to send my own granddaughter to someone else's house as a child daughter-in-law."
Tie Shan Niang waved her hand and went back to the house.
If the Dazhu family can get 700 Wen, it will only be 800 yuan, and it is estimated that it will be similar to find someone to borrow it, so why do you have to be a wicked person.
"Thank you, mother," Tian Cui cried with joy, knelt down and kowtowed to her mother-in-law a few times.
took Xu's hand again, "Sister-in-law, thanks to you, otherwise my Xiaojuan would have suffered." ā
"Tie Shan and Da Zhu are good brothers, Xiaojuan is my niece, don't say polite words, you have helped our family in the past two years, you see I haven't been polite to you."
"Hey, sister-in-law, I know." Tian Cuixi happily responded.
The three children hid in the room and listened to outsiders, Xiaojuan had just cried before, and told Xiaoya that she didn't want to be a child daughter-in-law.
When I heard her grandmother say that she didn't need to go, she immediately became happy.
The three of them went home, Xu told Dad Liu about the matter, and took out the last two hundred Wen distressedly and asked Heiya to send it over.
My uncle's house is in the next village, and if the distance is fast, you can walk back and forth in half an hour.
"Father, mother, the things were delivered, but my uncle hasn't gone back yet, so I gave the things to my concubine (aunt)." Xiaoshan gave the bamboo basket in his hand to Heiya, "This is the elm shavings you want, our eldest cousin heard that you wanted it, and he installed it all for you." He also said that the previous ones were burned as firewood, and if you want them, I will keep them for you in the future. ā
Heiya took it and took a look, there was about half a basket, enough to use, happily went to wash the small jar, and soaked the shavings after eating.
Heiya told Xiaoshan about borrowing money, and the family had dinner with a sad face, so much money, not happy enough, it was gone in the blink of an eye.
Each person drank a bowl of oil tea, which was very satisfying for the Liu family, who had not had oil and water for a long time.
It's a pity that the money that the family just got is gone, and these things have to be saved. The corners of Xu's mouth twitched when he thought of the rice and white noodles that Xiaoshan bought, and if he replaced them with sorghum noodles and corn, he would be able to eat them for many days.
Xiaoshan and Heiya knew that they would have at least forty Wen every day, but they didn't feel any pressure.
The summer sun sets late, and when the black girl puts away the pots and pans, the sky is only a little darker than before.
Pick out some finely chopped shavings, wash off the floating ash with cold water and put it in a small jar to flatten, and then pour the boiling water that has just been boiled into it, the water can not be added too much, otherwise the viscosity is not enough.
After doing this, the black girl wiped the thin sweat on her forehead, covered the jar and put it away, soaked it until tomorrow and you can use it, first use this to nourish your hair, and when you have the conditions in the future, take it internally and externally, and use it both at the same time, you must raise your skin like clotted fat, hair like black brocade, mountain eyebrows and far dai, lips like Danzhu, hahaha......
The more Heiya thought about it, the more beautiful she became, and she couldn't help but laugh alone in the yard, causing Xu's two white eyes, "Heiya is getting more and more alive now, and I don't know who she looks like......"
Father Liu lowered his voice, "When I first got to know you, you will be fourteen years old, and you will secretly climb the tree to pick fruits by yourself, but you don't dare to come down, sit on the tree and cry, who do you say the black girl looks like." ā
As if remembering the scene at that time, Father Liu laughed, and Xu Shi twisted it on him angrily, "The children are here, you still say." ā
"Okay, let's stop talking." Father Liu hurriedly begged for mercy.
Xu Shi rubbed the place where he was pinched, and said softly, "After so many years, you still haven't found what you were looking for?" ā
Father Liu sighed, "It's already a matter of people outside, and it is estimated that the people who know about this are no longer there, but this is good, I will live with you and the child in peace, and I am the way I am now, which is really dragging you down." ā
"Old husband and wife, what are you doing now, as long as you are still here, okay, I will have the backbone." Xu wiped his eyes and held Daddy Liu's hand tightly.
