33. Calculation

33.

Wang Meiqin's voice paused, and she sighed, "Don't say anything else, you don't have to worry so much about eating, we can't do it, so don't envy me, if it weren't for your brother and your nephew who had no one to take care of, we wouldn't be able to leave the house."

Brother and sister, your cloth is well woven, quite dense, or I will give me a few feet, and go back to make two clothes for our family Da Zhuang and Da Zhu. Later, when the child put on his clothes, he also remembered the credit of his third aunt in his heart. ”

Bai Xiumei was the most reluctant to listen to Wang Meiqin's words, and she should have begged for help, so she said as if they had to be grateful to their family.

Pan'er sighed a little on the side, "Auntie, it's not that we don't give it, this is what grandma wants, if you want to make clothes, you have to tell grandma, grandma said at the beginning, uncle is still counting on selling this cloth to buy meat for marriage, we really can't be the master, in this way, you and I just want to send cloth to grandma, you always talk to her directly, so as not to make us difficult." ”

Although Yue'er's head is not very bright, she can also see that her aunt doesn't wear this coarse cloth at all, look at the clothes worn by others, although they are old, but they are not muslin, and this color is also good-looking, I really can't see it, the eldest aunt went to live in the town, and this person's dress is different from before.

Wang Meiqin didn't expect Pan'er to speak at this time, and then looked at Bai Xiumei's face with a look of difficulty, it is estimated that it is impossible to take Bai Nabu from here today.

"Okay, then I won't be difficult for you, I'll say to the old lady when I turn around, come, brother and sister, let's sit for a while, you can talk about how we all said that we haven't done needlework together for a long time......"

Pan'er held the cloth and saw that her sister-in-law was like a puppy, looking around and smelling it, if she didn't understand this posture, it would be really stupid.

"Ah, sister-in-law, what are you looking for, tell me......"

The reason why Chen Yuzhi came with me was to see if the two nieces had come back with meat buns today, but after looking for a while, they didn't see any place to hide this thing.

Looking at Pan'er's searching eyes, he smiled wryly, "I didn't look for anything, just to see how you cleaned up your home, well, yes, it's very clean, didn't you say you wanted to send cloth, let's go, let's ...... together"

Since she didn't find what she wanted, she didn't want to stay in the third room, not to mention the low roof, there was a dampness, and after staying here for a long time, people were depressed in their hearts, and they were uncomfortable, so Chen Yuzhi couldn't wait to go back to her house quickly.

Pan'er didn't know these ways in her heart, so she went out with the cloth in her arms, and the two concubines on the kang said that they were chatting but they were actually Wang Meiqin, and Bai Xiumei was listening.

Of course, she came here this time because of something, there was a niece on her mother's side, who was born with a hunchback, plus there was such a girl in the family, and the family was reluctant to let her live poorly, so she picked and chosen, this person has never found a suitable person, and she is old, so she wonders about the godbrother of Bai Xiumei's family.

Bai Xiumei secretly scolded in her heart, knowing that this concubine didn't have any good intentions, "Hey, sister-in-law, I'm really sorry, last time I went back, I heard a letter from my younger brother saying that there was someone in my heart, as for what happened, I haven't been back and I don't know the news, I don't think you can do it, you think this thing can't be done, you see that this young man can become a husband and wife, how can they look at each other."

Besides, my brother is a soldier, and he doesn't come back all the year round, no matter whether he succeeds or not, he must not consider anyone else for the time being, sister-in-law, if your niece has a suitable one, hurry up and find it, this girl is old, and she can't be delayed. ”

Bai Xiumei's refusal, although Wang Meiqin did not show it on her face, she had already scolded in her heart, she could find this concubine's younger brother, that was also worthy of their family, as far as their Bai family was an outsider, if you wanted a field or not, if you had no ability, she would weave a cloth, which was still dragged in front of her.

Sigh "Alas, your brother is a visionary, and my niece is not this blessing, by the way, brother and sister, you can also weave a beautiful cloth when you have time, and we will also get naked with you, wear it out and say that you knit it, maybe people around you can come to you to weave cloth, after all, this home-woven cloth is much cheaper than the one sold in the store." ”

Bai Xiumei sighed, "Sister-in-law, it's easy to weave cloth, but the thread of this fine cloth is very expensive, and the mother is still counting on selling some cloth to supplement the family, you look at our children, don't say anything else, I can weave when I am a mother, but this body is not patched with patches, and there is work at home every day, I also look at the empty to weave for a while, wait, see if my mother can take out the silver to buy fine thread, otherwise I have the heart and the strength." ”

Bai Xiumei is not in charge of anything now, what is the matter for this concubine to go to her mother-in-law and let her pay for it herself, why didn't she see this concubine give them something.

They don't wear the coarse cloth she usually weaves, but in the end, it didn't end up badly, and even the marriage of her younger brother was calculated, especially in this family, her own children and men lost the most.

Seeing that Bai Xiumei didn't refuse or agree, Lian'er said with a smile on her face, "Third aunt, I'll tell them about this matter later, if you weave muslin and sell it, the price will naturally be different, and the income in this family is more, and the people in the family can also wear it." ”

Bai Xiumei is not so optimistic, "In fact, this muslin cloth is worn less by our peasant family, and this cloth is not as good as coarse linen resistance, and the price is also expensive, the capital is more, but there are fewer people to buy, and it is also time-consuming, I haven't told your grandmother before, but your grandmother didn't agree, if you can move her, I still can't wait for your good news." ”

The two of them didn't have anything cheap here, so Wang Meiqin didn't stay long before taking her daughter back, Bai Xiumei looked at the figure of the mother and daughter leaving, and shook her head thoughtfully.

Before, at home, she was still smiling, but since she went to the town, how can she feel a little unable to see through this person, not to mention the twists and turns, there are too many calculations in her heart.

Yue'er wore a shuttle with dexterous fingers in the next room, which was woven for them themselves, and she felt that her sister would look good if she wore it, so she couldn't wait to knit it quickly, so that when the weather was hot, Pan'er would be able to wear new clothes.

When Bai Xiumei came to see her daughter, Yue'er was engrossed in weaving, looking at her daughter's serious and focused expression, Bai Xiumei's heart was also sour, just look at their daughter's daughter, where is she a fool as they say, her daughter is not stupid at all, look at how good the weaving is, she may not be as good as the girl weaving.

Her mother once said that this weaving cloth depends on talent, so it seems that their family Yue'er is not stupid, but this spiritual head is in this place.

"Girl, don't worry, weave slowly, don't be tired, come, my mother will change with you, alas, what is your father doing in your grandmother's house, why don't you come back."

At this moment, Chen Dahu is talking about the house in the main house, the old son is about to hold a wedding, the house has not yet landed, the old lady pondered for a long time, and only let the third family give up the house and move to the old house before, although it is thatched, but it is no problem to repair and repair the individual.

"Third child, what do you think?"

Chen Dahu scratched his head and hesitated, "Mother, there has been no one living in the old house for many years, and the house is about to collapse, how can we live?" ”

The old lady's hand waved, "This thing is easy to do, turn around and find someone to come over to help repair the house, and if it is repaired, it can still live in people, and there is no way to do it, your eldest brother is the eldest son, the eldest son's house can't be moved, your second sister-in-law is not very good, your second brother is still rushing to give birth to a son, and their family can't move the place, so your family has nothing to do, and if you move, you will move, and the family really can't take out the money to rebuild the house for your brother."

Alas, Dahe's studying, the family's money is like flowing water, what about the third child, I thought about it with your father, and you used to live more spacious......"

Pan'er came in with the cloth and heard the old lady ask them to move, the little girl didn't have the heart of her own father, "Milk, you said we moved over, this is a meal, you have to run so far in winter, you have to run to your side to take a hot bath, it is estimated that it will not be hot when you get home, you always say that it is next door, where is this next door, it is all separated by a road, there are no neighbors on the other side of the old house, and we don't feel at ease when we live......

The old lady glared at Pan'er angrily, "What do the children know, the house at home is not enough to live, what do you say, you can't let me and your father move over, it doesn't make sense." ”

Pan'er pouted and looked aggrieved, "Then we can't let our family move, we have to move, and everyone will catch lots...... together."

Chen Dahu said to Chen Fangshi with an apologetic face, "Mother, don't listen to Pan'er, children are not sensible, but this house also costs silver, I really don't have any money in my hands, you look at it......"

Chen Fangshi looked at her son Baba and sighed, "What about the third child, my mother is actually reluctant to let you move out, but the family is on this condition, your brother is about to get married, and this needs a sum of money, and my mother really can't take it out here, so you borrow it outside first, anyway, we haven't split up, and we'll pay it back when you earn money." ”

Chen Ping nestled in Chen Dahu's arms, and understood the words before and after, "Milk, you said that we are no different from separating the family, and it is inconvenient for us to go back and forth, you might as well divide our family......"

Chen Dahu patted his son's little buttocks, "You little thing, what kind of family, your grandma and grandfather are here, if you want your father and me to support you, I don't have that ability......"
