Chapter IV Debt Collection
Heiya had some comic attributes in her previous life, but to put it bluntly, it was just a way for her to protect herself, life was already difficult, and she could only find happiness in her own way. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info is now reliving a lifetime, and the strong family affection makes her feel full of fulfillment and warmth in her heart.
The water was boiling, Xu Shi poured the washed millet into the pot and boiled it slowly, added another handful of firewood, stood up and rubbed the black girl's hair, "Look at your hair messy, come and comb it for you." ”
There is no mirror, the hair is thin and yellow, messy together, the black girl didn't think about it at all, she touched her head after listening to her mother, and lay on the bed for several days, it's strange that her hair is not messy.
moved the little ones to the yard and sat obediently waiting for her mother to comb her hair, only to see Xu Shi come over with a grate with several broken teeth and a bowl filled with water.
Her hair was so messy that her mother first gently combed her hair with her hands, and then slowly combed it with a grate dipped in water.
Although her mother was already very gentle, Heiya still grinned in pain. "Mother, do you know who has shavings in their house?"
"Your uncle will do carpenter's craft, and sometimes there will be some furniture or something, you ask what this is for." Xu said as he brushed her hair.
"I forgot who I heard before, soak the shavings in cool boiled water, and comb your hair with soaked water." When she opened the store in her last life, in order to use natural raw materials as much as possible, she found a lot of traditional folk remedies, including this one.
When the shavings are soaked in water, they will eventually secrete a slightly viscous liquid, and you can use it regularly to brush your hair to prevent frizz and your hair will get better and better.
She has a lot of better beauty and hair care methods, but unfortunately the current conditions do not allow it.
"Then next time I ask your uncle to try some shavings, it's not anything valuable anyway."
Xu finally tied two buns on the top of her head and fixed them with strips of cloth cut out of her old clothes.
The black girl touched her head, and then ran to the broken urn and took a picture in the water, and her heart was happy. It's really a fresh little Lori, even if the little face is yellow, but it still feels tender.
Xiaoshan got up when they were burning the fire, and he had to fill the urn at home with water before breakfast, and he was coming back with two small buckets of water, and when he saw the black girl shining in the water, he couldn't help laughing, "The eldest sister is really a big girl, and she knows how to love beauty." “
"That's not it, brother, you will marry a daughter-in-law in two years, of course I am a big girl." The black girl grinned and fought back.
Sure enough, when he heard that he was marrying his daughter-in-law, Xiaoshan became shy, and poured water into the urn with a red face, "Little children, what are you talking nonsense." ”
Haha, the children of ancient times were still quite innocent, and the neighbor's child in her previous life knew how to find a little girlfriend when she was only in the fifth grade.
The black girl pursed her lips and was happy, it was too dark last night to see clearly, but now she looks at her brother is quite good-looking, with some delicate facial features, although she is thin but her posture is straight, she does not bend over and hold her chest.
And at first glance, he is smart, but he is not too tall, and it seems that he will have to eat some delicious supplements in the future.
Knowing that Xiaoshan was shy, Heiya didn't tease him anymore, and seeing that the porridge was almost ready, she went to the vegetable garden to pick up a few handfuls of greens, washed them and dragged them into several sections with her hands and threw them into the porridge.
After drinking the porridge, Xiaoshan is going to the town again, although compared to other villages, their village is not far from the town, but just walking, it takes more than half an hour.
Xu Shi said a few more words, and stuffed a piece of sorghum bread into Xiaoshan's arms, this is his meal during the day, sorghum noodles are still very delicious to taste occasionally, if you eat it every day, you can't stand it, and you won't be able to pull it down if you eat too much.
Not long after Xiaoshan left, someone slapped twice outside the courtyard gate, "Is Sister-in-law Liu at home?" ”
The courtyard door in the village is basically not closed during the day, and generally no one will enter other people's houses casually, so they shout outside the door first and wait for the owner to come out.
"Hey, who's coming?" Xu Shi answered in the house and hurriedly ran out, "Is it Sister Cuixi?" Come on, come in and sit down. ”
The little girl raised her face and called Aunt Zhao obediently, and the black girl quickly followed.
The person who came was called Tian Cuixi, the daughter-in-law of Zhao Tieshan in the village, who was a few years younger than Xu.
Tian Cuixi sat on the stool, seeing that Xu was about to pour water for her, and hurriedly stopped, "Sister-in-law, don't be busy, I'll come over to talk about something, and I have to go to work in the fields." ”
Xu Shi saw that she was serious, so she didn't insist anymore, moved a few people to sit opposite her, and probably understood what she said.
When Liu Dazhu was injured, Zhao Tieshan brought five hundred money, they were good brothers of a village elder, and it was impossible to watch the old brother get injured.
But he hasn't split up yet, and the five hundred dollars are all his private house.
My family has no labor, and I have been having a hard time in the past few years, so the money I borrowed at the beginning has not been repaid until now.
A few days ago, Xu heard that Cuixi's mother-in-law was going to marry her youngest son, and she was optimistic about a girl, and they asked for a bride price of five taels of silver.
They are a poor ravine, and it is always difficult for a man to marry a daughter-in-law, and few people are willing to marry their daughters.
The family just wanted to ask for more bride price, so they made such a request.
Tian Cuixi came over this time, and nine times out of ten she wanted to talk about money.
Xu sighed silently in her heart, why didn't she want to pay off the accounts early, it was really a bad day, it was early summer, when the green and yellow were not accepted, the family couldn't even fill their stomachs, and a few days ago they owed the child a lot of money to his uncle.
Seeing that Xu didn't speak, Tian Cuixi also hesitated whether to say it or not, she knew that Brother Liu's family was not having a good time, and Heiya was sick again a few days ago.
But she really can't help it, her brother-in-law is twenty-two, her mother-in-law is in a hurry to raise money for her youngest son to marry, she missed this time, and she doesn't know when her daughter will be willing to marry.
The family only made up two and a half pieces of silver, and her mother-in-law said that she couldn't sell Xiaojuan, Xiaojuan is her daughter, and she is only seven years old this year, how can she be willing.
"Sister, don't be embarrassed, you know that your brother-in-law is waiting for money to marry his daughter-in-law." Xu Shi pulled his hair and said with some bitterness, "You also know the situation of my family, I want to find a way to make up as much as possible to repay you in the past two days." ”
Tian Cuixi was a little ashamed when she heard this, what can Sister-in-law Liu think of, their family may not be able to eat enough, so they shouldn't come this time.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly stood up and held Xu's hand, "Sister-in-law thinks too much, I just came to see if Heiya is cured." The family really needs money, and Tie Shan and I will find a way. ”
"Cuihua girl, you ......" Xu didn't understand that she changed her words again, could it be that she really wanted to do something?
"Sister-in-law, don't think about it, I'm just here to see, there's still work in the field, so I won't sit anymore." Tian Cuihua went to the door of the house to say hello to Liu Dazhu again, "Brother Liu, I'll leave first." ”
