Chapter Ninety-Five: Reckoning
Erchun and Tian Xiaohui went back, the two baskets of things brought by the family had already been sold out, Old Man Zhang sat on the ground smoking dry tobacco, and Li Yanhong talked with each other, saw his granddaughter come back, beckoned happily, and as soon as Erchun passed, he took out the money from his pocket and stuffed it into his granddaughter's hand.
"Take it, count it, and don't deduct my wine money." Don't forget to make a clever sentence.
Erchun smiled and put it away, and didn't count, "Since the master said so, then I will believe you, don't count, it's cold, let's go home too." ”
"Okay, go home." Old man Zhang obviously drank again yesterday, and he looked a little unenergetic.
Erchun also felt sorry for his grandfather, but he couldn't control him, but fortunately, things sold quickly, and he could go home early, and the group went home, and when they arrived in the village, Erchun pulled Tian Xiaohui to the house, took out a piece of meat from the side room, more than two catties, and stuffed it into her hand.
Tian Xiaohui was busy refusing, "I can't ask for this." ”
"Yesterday I said yes, you take it." Erchun forced it into her hand, "Now the family is having a hard time, if you can help, you can help more, this meat will not be anything if I and my grandfather eat a piece less, your brother is in need of nutrition now, it is related to a lifetime." ”
Erchun's words finally made Tian Xiaohui stop and push back his hand, and nodded solemnly, "Erchun, I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future." ”
saved her life, and now she is still helping her at home, Tian Xiaohui's heart is warm, and his nose is sour, and he forcibly suppresses the tears that came up.
"Okay, I'll remember, I'll remind you when you forget it." Erchun smiled and quipped, "Go back quickly, let your mother cook the meat, and then stew it and eat it, it's so fragrant." ”
"Okay." Tian Xiaohui thanked him again before taking the meat and leaving.
Li Yanhong stood in the outer room and looked at Yiqiē in his eyes, with a big smile on his face, this girl is a knife mouth tofu heart, when she rushes to the market, she calculates how much meat and fish she stingy, but she is not distressed at all when she gives it to others.
Old man Zhang also saw it, so he didn't get angry, he felt that his granddaughter messed up things with people, he had always been indifferent to the things at home, what he ate, and he didn't think about covering everything good in his hands, this is an old man who doesn't care about anything else to him except his granddaughter.
Erchun returned to the house and counted the money, there were sixty-two yuan, plus the money that his grandfather had saved in the past few months, adding up to nearly two hundred, this two hundred yuan is not a small amount for people now, but for Erchun, who wants to go to the city to develop and settle down, it is a drop in the bucket.
Two meals at home, today I made money again, Erchun also improved the food in the evening, wrapped dumplings with sauerkraut and meat, when cooking dumplings, Zhang Ping brought money to buy meat and fish, Erchun took the money and looked at it, it was all a dime and two cents, and it was three yuan and five cents when I counted it, and I took five catties of meat and two fish and handed it to her.
Zhang Ping was carrying something, she couldn't say it in her heart, she didn't know if it was her own delusion, after she drowned in the water that time, the person changed, and she was not close to her, or even opposite.
After returning home, Zhang Ping put down the meat, and Sun Zhi saw that her daughter's face was not good, "What's wrong?" Erchun said ugly words again? This kid is just not sensible. ”
"No, it's her family who is cooking dumplings, and she calls me to do something at Erchun's house, and I find that Erchun is getting less and less close to me now, and I'm not bad at stuttering, but I feel uncomfortable when I see Erchun and me far away."
"It's not your family business, don't bother with her, it's all a habitual problem, you want to be polite, she eats and drinks a lot, where does she treat you as a sister, stay away from her in the future, sooner or later she will ask for you, and it is better for a woman to marry than to be good." Sun Zhi became angry when he heard this, but he felt that Erchun had now learned to eat alone.
Zhang Ping nodded, "Mom, if you come over tomorrow Erchun, don't look at it, so many people are watching." ”
"I still understand this, you can rest assured." Sun Zhi was happy when he talked about his daughter's marriage, "I discussed it with your Aunt Li, and your marriage was done a year ago, and you are not too young, so it's the same if you drag it out like this, it's better to do it early." ”
Zhang Ping's face turned red, "You can just discuss this matter." ”
In my heart, I thought about what my aunt brought when she asked her to bring money back, saying that she could rest assured, what this reassuring meaning made Zhang Ping understand it again, and even a little excited, understanding that it was the aunt who found a blind date for Erchun, and as expected, the aunt would bring someone to see when she came back tomorrow.
As long as Erchun marries out, she marries far away, she doesn't believe that her life is not good, which is what Zhang Ping is most eager to do now, to send Erchun out of the village early.
After eating the dumplings, Old Man Zhang went to the east of the village to stroll, Li Yanhong was chopping firewood in the yard, and Erchun brought the hot water that had been scooped out to the north kang, and Erchun wiped his body through the curtain, and it was just dark when he poured the water.
"Erchun, are you still angry?" When he got the opportunity, Li Yanhong was busy talking.
I didn't talk to Erchun this day, Li Yanhong always felt like something less, and he couldn't say how uncomfortable he was.
Erchun didn't look at him, and entered the house with the laundry tub, Li Yanhong was faceless, scratched his head, smiled, but told himself in his heart that he couldn't offend this girl in the future.
After all, it is not easy for a widow to live, and the men in this village always worry about it, which is also a troublesome thing to say.
As a result, without waiting for him to go, Wang Yun came, with the same hearty smile on his face as usual, "I just finished class, I'm afraid that you will be worried, come and talk to you, you don't have to worry about that matter anymore, there will be no more trouble." ”
Wang Yun was also embarrassed to say that after Zhao Shengtian walked out of her that day, he was seen by the people in the village, and then it reached Dong Juan's ears, Dong Juan fought with Zhao Shengtian that night, and when Wang Yun went to study the next day, he was scolded by Dong Juan by pointing his nose again, this matter was a fuss in the village, Zhao Shengtian really wanted to have any ideas about Wang Yun and didn't dare to do it again, but because of this matter, Wang Yun was angry with him, and he made it difficult for Wang Yun when he was studying, and Wang Yun didn't care, anyway, he was studying, and he couldn't suffer any loss. At the end of the day, I was in a very good mood, and I came to Zhang's house without eating.
"It's good to solve it, but you can't take it lightly and close the doors and windows at night." Li Yanhong looked at the sky, "Go back early, close the door early, so that whoever goes will only go when you sleep, I think you can go back early today." (To be continued.) )
