Chapter 18: Tools
Li Da's voice Jin Jiang recognized, when he was young, this kid was naughty, and a wooden stick was inserted into the throat, but fortunately, there was no major problem with his life, but after that, his voice became very hoarse, and he was hoarse when he spoke.
Xu is a catastrophe and will not die, there will be a blessing, don't look at Li Dasheng's thin voice and can't do it, but he is capable and clever, and he married a good wife, which is considered to be a good life in the village.
The Jin family got along in the village, and Li Da's family was counted as a family.
Usually when I go to the town, I also look for a donkey cart borrowed from his family, and every time I am generous, I don't shirk it at all, of course, Jin Jiang's family can't take advantage of it in vain, and I also return some courtesy.
When Jin Jiang heard Li Da calling, he put down the things in his hand and went out to greet him.
"What is this?" Out of the hospital, Jin Jiang couldn't help but be stunned.
Between the donkey carts were a bunch of things, stoves, wind boxes, hammers, anvils, pliers, and grinding stones.
The eldest grandson is an apprentice blacksmith, and she also knows the necessary tools, and it is precisely because of this that she does not know why Li Da pulled these things over.
"Auntie, you're at home, hurry up and call someone to unload everything." Li Da jumped out of the car, don't look at the donkey cart There are not many things, but it can't stand the weight.
Just the grinding stone and the stove were moved by a few people, and he couldn't handle it alone.
"Li Da, what's going on? No one in our family buys this either. Jin Jiang asked puzzled.
Li Da stretched out his hand and patted his forehead: "Look at me, I forgot about it, this is Xianghan dragging me to bring it to you." ”
"That girl is also a grateful person, aunt, you really didn't see the wrong person." The two families have been dating for many years, and in order to redeem Xianghan, the Jin family also asked him to borrow silver, and Li Dachu didn't agree with it when he heard it, after all, he didn't have a relationship or a reason, and he couldn't even live his own life because of an outsider.
That would have thought that for so many years, Xianghan's sister was also a kind person, and she was filial to the old couple of the Jin family in front of her father.
No, I just heard about Yongxin, so I immediately took out my own money and arranged it.
Jin Jiang's nose was sour when he heard this, and he almost cried. Because I just went to the chicken coop to pick up eggs, I was still wearing a cloth bag around my body for fear of soiling my clothes, and now I was a little at a loss, and my hands kept rubbing the cloth bag, and I didn't dare to step forward, for fear that the dirt in my hands would dirt these tools.
made a lot of movement, the people in the courtyard walked out, the old man Jin had a straight face, but he sighed in his heart, for Xianghan really can't say who owes whom, although he can't be a daughter-in-law, he has always regarded her as a daughter.
Every year, Xianghan will ask someone to bring back a sum of silver, and the old couple will collect it and not touch a penny. The sons and daughters-in-law in the family also know, although they haven't said anything, they still have some pimples in their hearts.
After all, when we ransomed people, we used everyone's money.
Now Xiang Han didn't say a word in advance, so he bought these tools, I'm afraid that he also knows their family's difficulties and wants to help.
"Come and get a hand, this thing is heavy." Li Da stood by the donkey cart and moved the lighter ones down, and there were still two big guys left, so he could only ask someone to come forward together.
No one in the Jin family stepped forward, they all looked at Old Man Jin, whether they should accept things or not, they couldn't be the masters.
"Old man." Jin Jiang shouted.
Old Man Jin lowered his eyes and bowed slightly: "Take it." ”
The Lu family was overjoyed, and hurriedly pushed Xianggong and eldest son forward and asked them to move their things into the house.
Jin Jiang didn't go out of the yard, but turned around and held his wife's rough palm: "We can still move, Xianghan hasn't come to release it yet, there is time." ”
Some have time to save a sum of pension money for her, and some have time to help her arrange a good one.
Jin Jiang didn't say the latter words, because she knew that his wife thought the same in her heart.
Jin Yun leaned on the side of the courtyard gate, her eyes fell on the place where her hands were held, these two hands were not good-looking, her nails were yellowish, full of cracks, and full of wrinkles, but she couldn't take her eyes off.
There are not many tools, and after a few trips back and forth, it will be moved.
"Aunt Jin, I still have some things, so I'll leave first." Li Da didn't stay long, and jumped on the donkey cart and left.
Although the yard is large, these tools must not be placed here, and it will probably take a lot of time to clean up.
"Xianghan's heart is also towards our Jin family, new brother, whether you have a future or not, you can't forget your Aunt Xianghan." The son's future life has been settled, Lu Shi's happy mouth has never been closed, and the words he said are beautiful, but no one knows if he is not sincere.
But Yongxin took it seriously, stroked the hammer, his heartbeat continued to accelerate, and he never put down the hammer for seven years, and it was integrated into his life.
These days, he has never put down the hoe, and he also holds the rod with both hands, but the feeling is completely different.
At night, Yongxin also had insomnia, he thought that he would never have the opportunity to contact these again, but he didn't expect that today, the tools that have accompanied him for many years can actually be seen again.
His heart was even more moved, he saw Aunt Xianghan when he was very young, but now he doesn't remember her appearance. Yongxin made up his mind that he would definitely give Aunt Xianghan a pension in the future.
"This is Xianghan's expectation for you, I don't want you to be very expensive, but I definitely can't let myself regret it." Old Man Jin spoke.
"Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely do it well." Yongxin was a little excited, does this mean that his grandfather, who has been disappointed in him, has once again ignited his expectations for him?
"Xianghan sent these to let the new brother open an iron shop? But the yard is so big, where to open? Shu interjected and explained the problem.
There are many Jin families, and they are already crowded, where is there any place to open an iron shop?
Shu Shi said this, but he also hoped that he would not hurt his money again, and he provided for the third brother to take the Xiucai exam, but he didn't get it, and he sent the new brother to be an apprentice, but the money was spent, and he didn't get any benefits. In the past, she didn't dare to complain, because she had only two daughters left after marrying Jin Qiwu for many years. Although Jin Jiang didn't say it, she herself had no confidence.
But now it's different, Shu's two sons are so old, and she has to think about her own son.
The old couple of the Jin family only care about the eldest brother's family and the third brother's family, why don't they want to think about her son, why can the two sons of the third brother's family have great abilities after going to school, while her two precious sons have to stay in the township and do rough work?
The new brother was driven back, and he worked hard at home, why did he have to open an iron shop and toss around?
Xiao Mo was happy for the new brother, and he didn't study it in detail when he heard the words of the second aunt, and directly told the method that Jin Yun said that day: "We can clean up a room in the back and open a corner door to make it easy to enter and exit, so that people who come will not disturb the house." ”
"That's what it takes a lot of money to do." Shu didn't say much to his nephew and daughter-in-law, and turned to Old Man Jin: "Daddy, I can't help it, Yonghua Yongge is so old, I don't want them to deal with dirt for the rest of their lives when they grow up." I didn't object to spending money to send my new brother to be an apprentice back then, but now it's time to think about Yonghua Yongge. ”
Yongxin's already dark face turned red, he wouldn't blame the second aunt, but he felt that what the second aunt said was reasonable, and he shouldn't just think about himself.
But Lu Shi didn't like to listen to it, so he opened his mouth and said loudly: "How much silver can it cost?" In the future, our new brother will not be able to earn it back. ”
"Let's not talk about whether the business will be good, just these tools, do you really send them for free when Xianghan sends them? This will have to be paid back later. "The Lu family is arrogant, but Shu's words are reasonable, and the two concubines have been fighting each other for many years, and it is not whose voice is louder.
"I don't know how much, plus all the tools are done, two or three taels of silver are all in total, right?" Shu Shi said softly, and his voice was a little choked: "Sister-in-law is for my son, I know, but I also have to think about the children of our family, the two children of the third brother's family were enlightened at the age of four or five, and Yonghua Yongge can't even write his own name now." ”
Lu Shi looked at everyone who was silent, and she was so anxious that the duck in her hand couldn't fly, so she blurted out: "It's a big deal, I, I, I'll borrow it from my mother's family." ”
