After eating, Xia Cicada sat on the bed to settle the accounts, and Xiao Dalang sat on the side to string copper coins. A string of a hundred. After skewering, place it in a wooden box on the side.

In fact, this month's ramen is not as much as Xiao Erlang said, but it is not much worse. Nowadays, the most profitable thing in their stall should be lo-mei. Xia Cicada calculated the account just now, and after a month, the ramen piece is eight two seven hundred and thirty-four Wen. The braised pork is sixteen taels or three. The total income is twenty-five two thousand thirty-four wen.

Da Lang's medicine money, a course of treatment in seven days, a course of treatment is about three taels. It's about thirteen taels a month.

In addition, she goes to Yipinge from time to time to sell some paintings, and now the total surplus in the family is thirty taels. When the accounts were all settled, Xia Chan couldn't help but be taken aback by this number. Obediently, I used to know that eating was a profiteering industry in modern times, but I didn't expect it to be so profitable. At this rate, in another month, the family will be able to build a new house.

However, when Xia Chan thought of the face of the old house today, he felt that the matter of building a new house was still slow, at least he had to wait until Da Lang's leg was healed before building it. She just said that she didn't make any money before, so the village chief's money should be repaid one or two first. The rest is slowly returned. Wang's sister-in-law's family has already been returned before. The money I make now is to treat my legs with Da Lang.

"Daughter-in-law, the day after tomorrow is the Qingming Festival, although my legs can't go to the grave to worship, but you should buy something tomorrow and send it to the old house."

"Yes"

"Daughter-in-law, are you going back to your parents' house during the Qingming Festival?"

Xia Chan was stunned, yes, she came here for a month, thinking about making money all day long, and forgot about the cheap maiden family of the original owner. remembers that they married her to Xiao Dalang for five taels of silver because the original owner's younger brother was sick, which shows that the life of her mother's family is not easy. From the residual memories of the original owner, Xia Chan knew that the original owner's maiden family was an extremely honest and honest family. In that case, she is willing to help them.

"Well, I probably haven't been back in a long time. The day after tomorrow, taking advantage of the Qingming Festival, I don't need to set up a stall, I'll go over and have a look. ”

On the second day, I packed up my things early in the morning and went to the town, and the business of ramen has been basically stable recently, and it can be sold out in about two hours a day, and the lo-mei is even better, basically all sold out in one hour. Today is the big gathering, tomorrow is the Qingming Festival, and many people come to the town to buy things for sacrifice. The things Xia Cicada prepared today, especially the braised pork, more than twice as much as in the past, but all of them were sold out in less than two hours.

After the things were sold and the stalls were collected, Xia Chan and his sister-in-law went to the street to buy the tributes to be used for the sacrifice, and bought some snacks, fabrics and other things, planning to give half to the old house and half to her mother's house.

"Hey, isn't this the second child of the old Xia family in Xialiang Village? I heard that your mother is sick, and she is quite strict, why don't you go back to see it."

A woman in a blue shirt, standing at the gate of Buzhuang, saw Xia Chan, shouted a few words in a loud voice, and walked to Buzhuang without waiting for Xia Chan to step forward

Seeing this, Xia Chan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the woman's arm, and said urgently, "Auntie, is what you just said true, my mother is really sick?" And very strict zhòng? ”

The woman in blue tore away Xia Chan with disgust, and pouted, "Who doesn't know about this matter in Daliang Village, why am I lying to you about this?" said and twisted her buttocks and entered the cloth village

Xia Chan looked anxious and stunned in place, and Wang's sister-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her when she saw this

"Sister, don't worry, I'll help you bring these things back. Don't worry about Da Lang, there are also my roots, he has been resting at home for the past two days, and I will let him take care of it later. Hurry up and stop an ox cart and go back to see your mother."

"Yes, yes, I still have to go to the hospital to find Dr. Huang, and Sister-in-law Wang's family will ask you. The medicine that Da Lang wants to drink is in the kitchen, so let Brother Shugen remember the decoction. ”

"Don't worry, let's go."

After Xia Chan separated from Wang's sister-in-law, he first went to the hospital to find Dr. Huang, and it happened that he was in the hospital at the time, and after listening to Xia Chan's words, he followed Xia Chan to Xialiang Village without saying a word.

Because she was not the original owner, Xia Chan didn't know where the original owner's previous home was, but fortunately, the ox cart she made was from Xialiang Village. They pulled her directly to the door of the house. Xia Cicada is naturally very grateful.

This is the first time Xia Cicada has come to the original owner's house, standing at the door, the fenced yard can see the situation at home at a glance. It was a house that was even more dilapidated than the one she lived in now, and there was only a thin layer of straw left on the roof, and Xia Chan felt that any rain could make this dilapidated home worse.

"Second sister, dad, it's the second sister who is back, second sister"

The little boy who suddenly came out of the house saw Xia Chan standing at the door at a glance, his face was full of surprise, and he ran and rushed into Xia Chan's arms. Xia Chan was a little uncomfortable for a while, but the inexplicable happiness and intimacy in her heart made her not push the boy away at the first time

"Second sister, you're back, our mother...... Woo."

"Don't cry. Didn't my sister bring a doctor? Let's go, let's let the doctor show my mother."

Xia Chan touched the boy's head, the boy was skinny, and the memory of this boy was Xia Chan's little brother, that is, the one who was seriously ill at the beginning, and his nickname was Dabao. I'm eight years old this year, but if I don't talk about my age, I'm only about six years old.

Dabao listened to his sister's words and asked in disbelief, "Really?" Is this uncle really a doctor, is he here to see his mother? ”

"Yes, come, Dabao, let's take the doctor into the house to see my mother."

"Yes"

Not far into the yard, a man walked out of the house, looking like Xia Chan four or five points in appearance, Xia Chan knew that this was the male owner of this family, Xia Chan's father - Xia Tian.

Just now in the house, I suddenly heard Dabao calling the second sister, he didn't believe it, but seeing that Dabao had been out for so long and didn't come back, he came out to see it with some anxiety, but he didn't think that it was really the second girl who came back. Xia Tian said with a look of disbelief

"Erya, why did you come back? You don't want to stay in Xiaojia Village to take care of Dalang, what if you run back at this time and let your mother-in-law know, go, go back quickly. Dad went to the village chief's house to find you and send you back. Don't let Mrs. Xiao talk about you again."

The fame of the old wife of the Xiao family was heard of even if he was in Xialiang Village, but for the sake of Dabao, he had no choice but to agree to the request of his second daughter.

Every time Xia Tian thinks of Erya, he can't stop resenting his incompetence in his heart.

may be due to family affection, Xia Chan has an inexplicable sense of intimacy when she sees everyone in the Xia family. When I saw Xia Tian and saw this iron-clad peasant man, who was obviously in his forties, he was forced out of his silver hair by life, and Xia Chan's eyes were sour.

"Dad, don't worry. Let Dr. Huang enter the house to show his mother first. I'll explain to you later."
