Early the next morning, Zhao Yongzhong's family got up and looked at each other, only to see that everyone's eyes were dark, and it seemed that they were worried about the future days and did not sleep well at night.

After the family washed up, they still went to the upper room for breakfast together. It turned out that although the family was separated, Zhao Yongzhong's family had not yet built a stove in the house, so they could not start the fire alone. Old Man Zhao promised to eat together before they moved out.

When eating breakfast, Zhao Qiao's family naturally wouldn't give them a good look. However, Zhao Siniang ate with peace of mind, because when the family was separated, she promised to give them a year's rations, and now they eat from there. And she knows very well that the reason why they are allowed to eat together is because they are afraid that their family will build a stove in their own house and stay there for a long time, and they will not leave?

Zhao Yongzhong did not go to the town to work as usual, but planned to go to the village to find a piece of land to build a house. He knew that five strings of money would not be able to build a decent house, and even the money for the foundation would not be enough. He could only find a remote wasteland, and begged Li Zheng to give him the land with less money, and the rest of the money was really just enough to build a thatched house as Jiang said.

Zhao Yongzhong was just about to go out, but Zhao Siniang stopped him.

"Dad, it's my grandfather's fiftieth birthday today, why don't we go to pay homage?" Zhao Siniang asked.

"What? Father-in-law is about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday? Zhao Yongzhong was stunned.

"Dad, did you forget? Look, these are shoes made by my mother for my grandfather! Zhao Shilang saw Zhao Yongzhong in a daze, thinking that he had forgotten, so he took out a pair of green cloth shoes with dense stitches from the wooden box and handed them to him.

It's not that Zhao Yongzhong forgot, but he didn't know it at all. Jiang has been married to himself for more than ten years, and he can only go back to his parents' house during the Chinese New Year. He had never heard Jiang mention the birthdays of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and he didn't even know their age. Thinking of this, he was ashamed for a while, turned his head to Jiang and proposed, "Let's go and pay homage to my father-in-law!" ”

Jiang was moved for a while, but the virtuous she still refused: "We just separated, there are still a lot of things to take care of at home, and even the house has not yet been settled, it is not suitable to go now, let's go next time!" After that, she took the green cloth shoes from Zhao Shilang's hand and said, "I couldn't empty them for a few days ago, and these shoes were not made until last night." I'm going to see if anyone in the village is passing by Jiangjiatan today, and let him help me carry it. ”

"Mother, now that we are separated, you can go wherever you want, you don't have to look at your milk anymore. There is only one fifty-year-old birthday, and if you miss it, there will be no next time, maybe the outer justice is looking forward to us at home! Zhao Siniang persuaded.

"Yes, mother, it's okay to delay the work at home for a day, it's still important to go to my grandfather's birthday!" Zhao Sanniang also persuaded.

Zhao Sanlang also said: "Today, there may not be anyone who will pass by Jiangjiatan so coincidentally, let's send the congratulatory gift in person!" ”

Zhao Shilang also nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"This ......," Jiang hesitated. In fact, Jiang looked forward to returning to her parents' home more than anyone else, but under the oppression of her in-laws' family for more than ten years, she subconsciously thought that returning to her parents' home was a luxury.

"Let's go!" Zhao Yongzhong clapped his head.

There is also an advantage to being poor, that is, to clean up neatly. The family grabbed their shoes, closed the door, and set off.

Before going out, Zhao Siniang thought for a while and said, "Dad, let's bring five strings of money too!" ”

Zhao Yongzhong thought to himself, it was really unreasonable for his father-in-law to give a pair of shoes on his birthday, and it would be good to bring money and make up for something, so he agreed.

Jiang saw that Zhao Yongzhong had brought all the money, and wanted to dissuade him, but he was persuaded by the children.

Out of the East Chamber, Zhao Siniang suddenly asked, "Mother, where is the chicken that my uncle gave us the day before yesterday?" Let's return it and give it to Cousin Ewha to eat! ”

Seeing Jiang's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhao Siniang persuaded: "Mother, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Although it's a bit of a thing to send back as a congratulatory gift, this is also a little bit of our family's heart!"

Zhao Siniang has been vegetarian for two days, and she also wants to eat a chicken to adjust the dispensing. But she still has a temperance, and she doesn't have to grab something to eat with a three-year-old child.

"That chicken, alas, was actually eaten yesterday while entertaining guests." Jiang couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the truth in a hurry.

Zhao Siniang was like a cat with fried hair, and said angrily: "What? There are so many chickens at home, why should you take my chickens? "It's one thing for her to give the chicken to her little cousin to eat, but it's another thing to give the chicken to the people of the old Zhao family to eat. Hmph, she doesn't want to give the chicken to those people even if she throws it away!

The more she thought about it, the more angry Zhao Siniang became, and she couldn't help but rush to the upper room to find Zhao Qiao's theory.

Zhao Yongzhong saw that it was not good in his heart, so he hurriedly picked up Zhao Siniang, beckoned his wife and children, and said, "Let's go quickly!" As he spoke, he rushed out the door.

The people who were stunned in place finally came back to their senses, and couldn't help but look at each other, and finally showed a helpless smile and went out to chase Zhao Yongzhong.

Zhao Sanniang thought to herself, if only his father was willing to use this quick wisdom to deal with Old Man Zhao and Zhao Qiao's family.

said that Zhao Yongzhong was afraid that Zhao Siniang would go to Zhao Qiao's to settle accounts, so he ran away with Zhao Siniang in one breath.

Zhao Siniang was so angry and funny, she had to reluctantly promise her father that she wouldn't go to the theory, and her father put her down in disbelief, but she still didn't feel at ease, holding the little girl's hand and waiting for the family to arrive.

It's not that Zhao Yongzhong is too careful, it's really that since his little girl has recovered from her illness, her combat effectiveness has been soaring upward, which has impressed him, and he has to guard against it!

When the family arrived, Zhao Siniang asked them not to rush away, led them to the mountain, and took out the honeycomb and honey that they had hidden yesterday.

Zhao Yongzhong and his wife were shocked when they saw it, and they heard Zhao Siniang explain that they picked it up, and they also pulled Zhao Sanniang to perjury for her, and their hearts were slightly relieved. However, Zhao Siniang repeatedly promised not to do this kind of thing again, so she let her go for the time being.

When she arrived at the entrance of the village, Zhao Siniang proposed to go to the town first to see if she could sell the honeycomb and honey, and then buy a few things as a gift. The whole family nodded in agreement.

But when Zhao Siniang saw a car carrying passengers to the town, which was parked at the entrance of the village to solicit guests and asked to take the car, the family was silent. Zhao Sanniang hated her even more and gave her a blank look.

"Actually, I didn't want to ride in the car on my own. It's really too heavy for this honeycomb, I'm afraid it's twenty or thirty pounds, I'm afraid my father will be tired when he carries it to the town. Zhao Siniang explained humbly.

Zhao Yongzhong's heart warmed, and he said happily: "Silly boy, just this little thing, I can't be tired of your father and me!" ”

But I'm going to be tired of your daughter and me! Zhao Siniang complained silently in her heart.

It seemed that he heard Zhao Siniang's heart, Zhao Sanlang smiled and said: "Little sister, I'm tired of walking later, is it okay for my brother to carry you?" ”

Hey, when it comes to this, what else can she do? I can only resign myself to my fate and follow my family to the town.

Zhao Siniang is still very backbone. Although the family proposed to carry her several times along the way, she sternly refused, and insisted on walking to the town on her short legs.

When they arrived in town, the family first went to Jishengtang to see if they could sell the honeycomb to their family.

But who knew that when I arrived at the door of the pharmacy, the family looked at me, I looked at you, and no one was embarrassed to go in. are all honest villagers, although they occasionally go into the city to buy something, but they can directly take things into other people's shops to sell, this is the first time, they are a little shy back, even Zhao Sanniang, who has always been spicy, did not stand up.

Zhao Siniang sighed and went inside. To be honest, Zhao Siniang actually didn't want to come to this shop, because of what happened last time, she felt a little embarrassed. But there is no way, there is only this one pharmacy in Changle Town, so he can only come to the door again with a cheeky face.

"Grandpa Shen, do you collect honeycombs in your pharmacy?" Zhao Siniang saw that Dr. Shen was sitting at the counter looking at the account books, and asked with a smile.

Dr. Shen looked up and saw that it was the little girl who didn't die last time, and said strangely: "Honeycomb? ”

"yes, you see it's fresh!" As soon as Zhao Siniang saw that there was a door, she hurriedly asked Zhao Yongzhong to come in and take the honeycomb out of the sack for Dr. Shen to see.

"Well, it's pretty fresh. But such a large honeycomb is probably more than 20 catties, and our pharmacy can't use so much! Dr. Shen twisted her goatee and said.

"Then you see how much your family wants, and we will sell it to you for nothing." Zhao Siniang said with a smile.

"That's done, let's have less!" When Dr. Shen saw that the little girl heard that she was willing to buy her things, his eyes lit up, and his expression was really interesting, because he was disrespectful, he couldn't help but want to sell it, and muttered: "Although the thing is good, this honeycomb has not been concocted yet, and it can't be sold at a high price!" I see ......"

It turned out that I wanted to lower the price, alas, just press it, it's better than not being able to sell it! I was very excited to think that I could make some money by selling honeycombs and subsidizing my family. In short, Zhao Siniang was happy and sad for a while, and she kept changing, plus she was originally a beauty, how cute and cute her expression was, which turned Dr. Shen's heart upside down, and she kept complaining in her heart why her son didn't give him such a cute little granddaughter! For a while, I thought that my grandson was about the same age as this little girl, right? It's been a long time since I've seen him, and the stinky boy won't send his grandson over to him to see!

Dr. Shen, who didn't know where to go for a long time, suddenly found that the little girl was still looking at him with her big eyes full of expectation, waiting for his next step, suddenly a little embarrassed, coughed twice, and said: "This honeycomb is really good, I will give you forty wen for one catty!" Do you think so? ”

To be honest, Zhao Siniang doesn't know how much this honeycomb should be sold for. However, he thought that Zhao Yongzhong would only earn thirty wen for one day's work, which should be a high price, so he decided to sell it without hesitation.

"Yes. Grandpa Shen, since your honeycomb is good, why don't you ask for a few more catties? Zhao Siniang looked forward to it.

"Okay, although we can't use so many shops, but Jishengtang has other shops in Youzhou, so let's just ask for these honeycombs!" Dr. Shen saw that it was always the little girl who was talking about business alone, and his father didn't dare to make a sound next to him, and remembered that her family spent a lot of money on treatment a few days ago, and thought, it's not easy for the little girl, so it's better to help her with this!

When Zhao Siniang heard this, she was grateful, and even Zhao Yongzhong, who had been loading wood on the side, rushed to thank her when she heard this.

After a while, the guy weighed the honeycomb, it was twenty-eight catties and nine taels, and according to the price of forty wen per catty, he should give Zhao Siniang's family one thousand one hundred and fifty-six wen.

Zhao Siniang offered to erase the six pennies, thought about it, and asked Zhao Yongzhong to go outside to bring the honey in, and smiled at Dr. Shen: "Grandpa Shen, thank you for saving my life last time, our family has nothing to do, this jar should be regarded as Xie Yi, you must accept it!" ”

Zhao Yongzhong listened to it, and praised it in his heart, but his daughter thought about it thoroughly, knew how to be polite, and was busy persuading Dr. Shen to accept it.

Doctor Shen knew that the little girl's family was not wealthy, and her family was going to use this jar of honey for money, so she refused to accept it at first, but she couldn't stand the hospitality of Zhao Yongzhong and Zhao Siniang, so she had to accept it. Later, Zhao Siniang begged him, if someone came to ask her family how much money she spent, she would tell her that it was five yuan, and he would take it. Even later, Zhao Siniang bought a few things in the pharmacy, but she refused to accept her money. Seeing that a pile of copper coins was really inconvenient to carry, he enthusiastically exchanged his usual money for silver.
