Chapter 11 The Paper Tiers

After eating, Yu Qiao and Yu Xi stayed behind to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yu Qiao raised his eyes and saw Yu Huacao holding a toothpick in his hand while picking his teeth, while following Bi Shi to her house, Li Shi walked behind the two, a long smile and whispered something to them.

And the men have always ignored these housework, and after eating, they put down their chopsticks and went out.

Huang's mother and daughter also followed to pick up the bowl together, but in the blink of an eye, when Qiao came out of the backyard with a broom, there was no trace of Huang's mother and daughter, and Yu Qiao couldn't help but sigh for Bai in his heart.

Always do the most and get the least!

After the hall was cleaned up, the Yu Qiao sisters followed the Bai family out of the hall together.

As soon as Yu Qiao walked into his room, he saw a pile of slender bamboo strips, several stacks of thin rice paper of various colors about two feet long, and a bucket of viscous white paste next to it.

In the middle of the room, there are a number of paper figures made of various colors of paper, these paper people are about the same height as Yu Qiao, and the colors of their bodies are red red, green green, and white white.

It can be seen that Yu Qiao's scalp is numb and his back is cold.

At first glance, she only felt strange and scared. Then I thought about it carefully, and I remembered that these good paper figures should have been made by Yu Shigetian and Bai Shi when they were not at home during the day.

The Li family opened a paper shop, did not hire workers, and did it all by themselves, such as cutting straw paper to make dark money, buying materials and coming back to make paper figures, and other things that Yu Qiao did not know much about.

Among them, paper figures sell the most, and the process is also the most cumbersome.

Yu Reconstruction has always been impatient to do these small jobs, and he is only responsible for buying and delivering goods on weekdays. Li has to do business and other work, so he can't find time to do this slowly. And Yu Fengqin wants to specialize in reading, and his daughter-in-law Tao wants to take her son to do housework, and she has no time.

So every few days, the Li family would let Yu Jianjian come back and hand over the work to the people in the old mansion.

For the old man, Bi naturally didn't do it, he was unlucky.

A widow in Huacao, when she sees these things, she feels guilty in her heart, so she won't touch her hands.

Yu Chongye is a lazy person, and he doesn't do any serious farm work, let alone these jobs that have no benefit at all.

Huang saw that her husband didn't do it, she didn't do it, no matter how Bi scolded her and rectified her, she was indifferent, and Bi had no choice, so she didn't want to see her anymore.

In the end, this job naturally fell to Yu Chongtian and his wife, who have always been honest and obedient, doing the work at home during the day and doing these fine jobs for the big house in the dark at night.

As soon as Bai came in, he moved a chair to sit next to him, picked up the bamboo frame he had made with bamboo slivers, and prepared to brush the paste and stickers.

Yu Fenghao, who came in later, consciously moved a chair to sit, picked up scissors on the ground to cut paper, and helped his parents.

Yu Qiao looked at them a little speechless, and pretended to be curious and asked, "Dad, mother, how long will it take to finish these things." ”

Bai Shi stopped thinking about it for a while before saying, "If you have nothing to do like this, it will only take two months." ”

Only?

Yu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and asked again: "Oh, if you have been doing it for so long and working so much, what should the eldest aunt buy for us to express your gratitude?" ”

At this time, when it was changed to Chongtian, Bai was stunned, and after half a ring, Bai said: "It's all a family, if you say thank you or not, you will have more points when you buy things." ”

"Yes, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are also busy, and they don't have time to do this, so let's help when we have time, it's not a difficult thing." Yu Shigeta echoed.

"Then let's do it during the day and rest at night, why do we have to stay up late and don't light the oil lamp, it's a waste of eyes." Yu Qiao proposed.

"Your uncle said that these goods, others are in a hurry, let us make them quickly, we can't be slow." Yu reconstructed his rough fingers, flexibly fiddling with the slender bamboo strips, and carefully weaving the paper figure shelf, and replied without raising his head.

At this time, Yu Qiao was more and more speechless.

Not only did he work for others, but he was also urged by others, resulting in the two of them having to race against time, doing it day and night, and feeling that these are things that should be done, and they are within the bounds! If you can get the gratitude of the big house, forget it, but what you can get is obviously more and more not to take their second room seriously!

How to repay virtue with virtue?

Yu Qiao shook his head secretly, instead of Yu Chongtian, the Bai family is not worth it.

"Dad, mother, this is the bun we bought, while it's still a little warm, you can eat it quickly." Yu Xi took two oil-paper bags and opened them on the table, spread the remaining six buns in front of his father, and then took one in one hand and walked over and handed them to them.

"Where did it come from?" Bai Shi's brows furrowed when he saw the bun at first sight.

Yu Fenghao was afraid that the Bai family would want to be crooked, so he hurriedly explained: "We went to the town to sell flowers during the day, and we made a little money to buy them, and my father also knew about it." ”

"I know about this, Brother Hao told me as soon as he entered the door." After Yu Chongtian finished testifying, he shook his head at Xi and said, "I'm full, I'm not hungry, you eat." If I can't finish eating, I'll take the rest to my parents. ”

"I'm full." After Yu Xi finished answering, she pretended not to hear her father's words, and stubbornly handed the buns in her hand to Bai Shi and Yu Chongtian.

Bai Shi looked at these buns, and his eyes turned red in vain. She was so happy that she cried with joy, and when her children thought about her all the time, they kept steamed buns in the morning and these buns in the evening. Second, she is also glad that her children have the ability to buy meat buns, so that she will no longer have to worry about her children not having enough to eat in the future. Thinking about it, she shook her head and said with a slight choked voice: "Mother doesn't eat, you eat." ”

"Mother, you can eat, we ate on the way. You see if the stomachs of the three of us are bulging. If you don't eat it, this bun will be left overnight, and you won't be able to eat it, and it's a waste. After Yu Qiao persuaded her, he said to Chongtian: "Grandpa and grandma are old, and it is easy to accumulate food if they eat too much at night, which is not good for the stomach, so don't send it over." And the rest of the Yu family was automatically ignored by her.

In this way, Bai took the bun.

Seeing that Bai was crying silently while eating, Yu Qiao stepped forward to help her wipe it.

Over there, Yu Chongtian also moved his mouth with tears and laughter under the words of Feng Hao and Yu Xi.

Yu Qiao looked at the materials of those paper-bound people and frowned.

This is the use of men as cattle.

During the day, the Bai family did a day's housework, and Yu Chongtian hoeed grass in the field for a day, and it was rare to have a little free time at noon, so he had to do this in a hurry. At night, I had to continue cooking after eating, and I didn't go to bed until midnight.

Yu reconstruction, Li is really a good abacus!

No, she can't watch Yu Chongtian, Bai's body being dragged down by this family!

She pursed her lips and thought about it, and after a while, the corners of her lips lifted, and she called out both Fenghao and Hexi.

In a village near the mountains, no matter how hot and dry the day is, the temperature becomes a little cool as soon as it gets dark. In the starry night sky, the moon was not round, and most of it was obscured by dark clouds, leaving only a waning moon without a head and feet, so that the land was not as bright as before, and everything seemed dark.

When the three of them walked in again, their expressions were very different.

Yu Qiao was as calm as usual, Yu Fenghao lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, while Yu Xi opened a pair of inky eyes and scanned around the room, as if he was looking for something.

Yu Qiao didn't care about them, he took care of the bamboo strips, and then walked in the direction of rice paper.

"Qiao'er, what are you doing with that?" Bai asked puzzled, and got up and rushed over to help his daughter.

"It's nothing, it's easy to put it here, I'll help you." Yu Qiao replied with his head down.

"No, it's not early, you can sit down for a while, and then go and see if they're all washed. After washing, you shout, my mother will boil water for you, although it is still hot this day, but in autumn, don't take a cold bath. "The three children were busy outside for a day, and Bai was very distressed.

"Hmm" Yu Qiao nodded, moved the bamboo strips to the side of the rice paper, and after only a finger apart, he pretended to be casual and pulled out three sheets of thin rice paper of various colors on the ground in turn.

"Ahem"

Yu Qiao covered his mouth and cleared his throat.

"Bang Dang"

"Ouch"

Yu Xi somehow, from the chair she was sitting on, she fell from behind with the chair, she hugged her knees and immediately wowed, crying bitterly, and after a while, tears flowed all over her face, and her little face was red from crying.
