"Xiaoyu, I can't see it, your cooking is even better than my mother's." Zhang Minghua was also a little surprised when she looked at the dishes on the table, if she hadn't seen them all made by Jiang Guyu with her own eyes, she was afraid that she would be very unbelievable that these two bowls of dishes were made by Jiang Guyu.

The soup was stewed very well, except because there were big bones, it seemed that she saw Zhang Minghua also added a drop of vinegar to it, saying that it could steam out the nutrients in the big bones.

But the fried meat with green peppers is a test of craftsmanship, according to Jiang Guyu, it is self-taught.

"Hehe, mother, in the future, Xiaoyu will continue to make delicious food for you." Jiang Guyu said with a smile, and changed the topic: "Mother, there is a lot of meat in this piece, you can make up for your body more." ”

As she spoke, she sandwiched a piece of meat for Zhang Minghua, and then took a piece of long bone with bone marrow from the big bone broth and put it in Zhang Minghua's bowl, which immediately made the bowl full, as if it was about to run out.

"Mother, this big bone, make up for your body." Jiang Guyu said, and gave Jiang Changxing and Yan Qiu a big bone respectively, leaving the smallest bone, and kept it for herself, saying, "I am the smallest, eat the smallest." ”

"Xiaoyu, you have a long body, this is for you." Jiang Changxing said, and he was about to clip the big bones in the bowl to Jiang Guyu.

Jiang Guyu hurriedly refused: "Dad, you are very hard at chopping firewood in the mountains, so why should you eat more, Xiaoyu is still waiting for Daddy to make more money, so that Xiaoyu can eat big bones several times a week." Jiang Guyu winked at Jiang Changxing playfully, and gnawed on the small bones while holding the bowl.

Jiang Changxing and Zhang Minghua glanced at each other, and they could feel each other's red eyes, their daughters have grown up and know how to be considerate of them, I am afraid this is the greatest comfort and happiness for them, they also have a common goal in their hearts, that is, to make more money, and then let Jiang Guyu live a better life.

Yan Qiu was silent, he didn't let go of the meat and bones, but he knew very well in his heart that Jiang Guyu would never take it, so he didn't even do this extra hand and foot, he just lowered his head, eating the fragrant rice in the bowl, as well as the big bones that were fragrant and gluttonous, and his eyes couldn't help but appear crystalline.

He hadn't enjoyed such a moment of happiness since he came out of that place.

After dinner, Zhang Minghua cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and insisted on letting Jiang Guyu rest, she said: "Changxing, I will take the money owed to Fang Langzhong and pay it back, it is not easy for Fang Langzhong to give us medicinal materials when we are in trouble." ”

"Mother, Fang Langzhong is very good, I know, but I think I should wait until the fifteenth day to pay back this money." Jiang Guyu opened his mouth to remind.

Zhang Minghua and Jiang Changxing both looked at Jiang Guyu puzzled, obviously rich, why not pay it back?

Yan Qiu sat by the fire and looked at Jiang Guyu thoughtfully.

Jiang Guyu smiled proudly, stood up and pulled Zhang Minghua, the eleven-year-old she was much shorter than Zhang Minghua, she tilted her head slightly and said: "Mother, you said, it's only been seven or eight days, and we have collected two hundred Wen, you say, what will Fang Langzhong think?" Do you think that we have money and deliberately don't pay for medicine? ”

"Xiaoyu, you think too much, if there is money, how can we deliberately not pay for medicine?" Zhang Minghua replied with a smile, looking at Jiang Guyu lovingly, as he grew older, Jiang Guyu's eyebrows and eyes became more and more beautiful.

"Mother." Jiang Guyu followed Zhang Minghua's words and asked rhetorically: "Mother, even if we didn't deliberately pay for medicine, but in the past seven or eight days, how did we earn the two hundred dollars?" ”

Zhang Minghua listened to her words and looked at Jiang Changxing thoughtfully.

"You see, my father chops wood every day, it's only eight yuan, and this is still good, if you go twice a day, it's only 16 yuan, even if it takes eight days, it's only 128 yuan, which is far from 200 yuan, even if you take the soles of your shoes, it's not enough to rely on those ten yuan." Jiang Guyu analyzed it carefully, it was not that she deliberately dragged it out and didn't pay it back, but that the money was not allowed now.

"It seems to be the same reason." Zhang Minghua didn't quite understand, and looked at Jiang Changxing with a question in his eyes.

"That's right, Xiaoyu is very thoughtful, it's okay, then let's delay it for a few more days, presumably Fang Langzhong won't say anything." Jiang Changxing said, "Tomorrow I will go to chop firewood, and strive to add an extra quilt to the house, and spring is coming, I will also buy some chicken seedlings and duck seedlings, and I will soon sow in spring, and I will buy some seeds." ”

Jiang Changxing thought about it like this, and suddenly felt that there were too many places where he needed money in the future, and there was only this time to chop firewood.

"Dad, thank you for your hard work." Jiang Guyu looked at Jiang Changxing's dark face, and only felt distressed, this man was obviously less than forty years old, but his sideburns had a little more gray hair and wrinkles.

"Yan Qiu, tomorrow you still don't want to chop wood." Jiang Guyu said again.

Jiang Changxing echoed: "Yes, Yan Qiu, when you are growing up, it's not good to follow me so far every day." ”

"It's okay, uncle, if I stay at home and don't do anything, it won't be comfortable." Yan Qiu said, already thinking about what to do for this family.

The night slowly deepened, and Jiang Guyu urged Zhang Minghua to rest early.

"Xiaoyu, I'll finish this one and sleep again." Zhang Minghua yawned and said, she accepted four pairs of socks today, if it didn't start around noon, then she could accept more.

"It's late, mother, let's do it tomorrow." Jiang Guyu yawned for days, although she didn't know the exact time, she was sure that it should be almost midnight.

Zhang Minghua gently pulled the quilt for her and said, "You go to sleep first, my mother will sleep later." ”

Jiang Guyu turned over, he couldn't stand it, and both eyelids were fighting.

The faint kerosene lamp flickered on the window, printing the movements of Zhang Minghua's hands, even faster.

"It's finally good." Zhang Minghua put the one in his hand, and immediately smiled, the soles of the four pairs of socks also cost twenty yuan, if they can sell so much every day, then in the near future, their family will be better and better.

The lights were turned off, and the silence in the room could be heard even when a pin fell, and outside the room, it seemed that the occasional cry of small animals could be heard.

Two black shadows flashed from the outside of the house, and finally, he aimed at the room on the left, where it was Jiang Guyu's room, the thatched house, the walls made of loess, which looked very old, and the window was just an old cloth to cover it.
