Chapter Seventy-Five, Meet the Uncle
Jin Zhu was angry when he heard the three words white-eyed wolf, and these three words were very suitable for Zhou Shuixian.
"The white-eyed wolf is that no matter how good you are to him, he can't remember it, and he will come to harm you in the end." Jin Zhu explained the word in a language that Taurus could understand.
"Hehe, isn't this just talking about mother-in-law and second uncle and aunt? It doesn't matter how good they are, every day they know to calculate our family's money. Jin Yang summed it up at once.
But when it came to money, she remembered that today's account had not been settled, so she hurriedly took out a handful of money from her apron pocket to count, and Jin Zhu, Jin Liu, and Jin Niu also took out the money in their apron pockets when they saw this.
"Eldest sister, we sold it for more than 1,100 yuan today, plus the 200 that Jin Liu earned, there are 1,300 yuan." Jin Yang said happily.
"So it's better to raise chickens, ducks and geese than pigs?" Jin Zhu asked.
Because there is no need to feed the pigs, all the rice bran at home is used to feed the chickens, and the ducks and geese usually rush to the river in the morning and come back in the evening to add a meal of rice bran and vegetable feed.
Of course, with so many chickens, ducks and geese, the rice bran at home is simply not enough, so Jinzhu has to go to the rice mill every month to buy a little rice bran or wheat bran that other families don't want.
"Yes, no wonder there are fewer and fewer pigs feeding in the village, and we are still stupid not to know." Jin Yang said.
Domestic eggs are generally one dollar, duck eggs are two, goose eggs are the most expensive, four dollars a piece, like their domestic chickens, ducks and geese although the growth period is longer, the cost is relatively high, but the selling price is also high. There are more people who buy it, and it is also a more suitable input for the elderly and children who have little labor.
So. It is not an empty phrase that a Tianjiazhai can feed the villagers of five or six surrounding villages.
Tourists from other places come here to play and run here is the original ecology here, local chickens, local ducks, local geese and wild fish are their preferred food.
Since this long holiday is the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival together, Jinzhu was busy for eight days in a row, and finally sold the sixteen chickens, ducks and geese at home, and cleaned the eggs that had been accumulated.
After going back to school. Jin Zhu knew that his poem had been published, and there was no sample this time, but Zhou Chuanying gave Jin Zhu the newspaper in their language teaching and research department.
A week later. Jin Zhu only received a 200 yuan manuscript fee from the newspaper, but unfortunately, because most of the candidates were celebrities from all walks of life and influential writers, Jin Zhu's poetry was not selected.
But that's already pretty good for Jinzhu. After all, she was only a thirteen-year-old junior high school student. With her age and experience, her poems were a record-breaking event that the editor of the newspaper could be photographed and published.
Jin Zhu just took the 200 yuan manuscript fee and wanted to celebrate, and there was another good news from Jin Liu.
It turned out that after careful consideration, Director Wang wanted to ask Jin Liu to lead the singing of the ending song of that TV series, and the remuneration was 1,000 yuan.
That assistant Liu found Jin Liu's school and left an MP3 for Jin Liu to listen to the song repeatedly and learn to sing it. On Sunday, I went to the Tianjiazhai crew to find them to record.
The recording process did not go smoothly, and once I entered the recording studio. Jin Liu will be uncontrollably nervous; As soon as she went outside, facing the mountains and the streams or rivers, she sang very well, very relaxed, and her feelings were in place, but her voice was too miscellaneous and the effect was not good. After tossing for a long time, Jin Zhu finally came up with an idea, blindfolded her, and made her feel that she was standing by the river and singing to the river.
Holding the 1,000 yuan that was so easy to get, Jin Zhu touched Jin Liu's head and asked her what she wanted to do.
"Eldest sister, I'm going to buy a collar for the eldest sister and the second sister, is that okay?" Jin Liu asked with a small face.
"Buy a collar? Why? Jin Yang asked.
For her, of course, this money is better to save, how important is it to study when buying a collar?
"There are sisters in other people's families, and the eldest sister and the second sister work so hard to earn money to support the family, I want to give it to you." Jin Liu's eyes turned red after speaking.
Since jumping into the river and committing suicide, the eldest sister and the second sister seem to have changed as a person, not only smart but also diligent, so the life of the family will be better, it is no exaggeration to say that this year is the happiest and happiest time since she can remember.
So she always wanted to do something for her sisters to show her gratitude, but she didn't expect this wish to come true so quickly.
"Silly sister, it's enough for you to have this intention, not only the eldest sister and the second sister have worked hard these days, but you and the golden bull are not idle, but in this circle, the eldest sister still doesn't approve of buying now, let's use this money to buy a silver bracelet belt, okay?"
Jin Zhu doesn't want to show his wealth, a good-looking silver collar is estimated to cost at least 1,000 yuan, and four will cost 5,000 yuan, and this silver collar can't be worn to school, and Jin Zhu is not at ease at home.
Besides, seeing that it will be the end of the year in a few months, as soon as Yang Dashan and Sun Xiaoyan come back and find these silver collars at home, who knows what will happen?
After listening to Jin Zhu's words, Jin Yang didn't even approve of buying the bracelet, "If you want me to say, don't buy the bracelet at all, the three of us bought the bracelet, what do we buy for the golden bull?" ”
"I don't want anything, I'm a man, just buy it for my three sisters." Taurus said sensibly.
In addition to being able to wear a collar, he doesn't have any suitable silver jewelry, besides, he is the youngest in the family and has the least contribution, so naturally his sisters are here first.
"This is Jin Liu's intention, or listen to Jin Liu, as for Jin Niu, let's pick a finer collar for him." Jin Zhu saw the loss that flashed in Jin Liu's eyes and said.
"Okay, buy the bracelet Jinliu, and when I earn money in the future, I will buy it for you, and the silver hat will be handed over to the eldest sister." Jin Yang received the look from Jin Zhu, so he had to nod and agree.
Anyway, this thousand yuan is a windfall, and it is not in the plan, Jin Yang comforted himself.
"What about me, what shall I buy for you?" Jin Niu asked, pulling Jin Yang's clothes.
"You? Wait for you to earn money. We're going to ask you for a big gift, aren't we, big sister? Jin Yang finished. He touched the head of the golden bull and squeezed his eyes at the golden beads.
"But what are the other gifts besides bracelets, collars, and silver hats?" Taurus asked himself, snapping his fingers.
Jin Zhu saw that he was so serious, stepped forward to hug him, kissed him, and said with a smile: "Let's go, the eldest sister will take you to the silver building to have a look." See what else is big? ”
As soon as the four sisters and brothers turned into the market, they met Li Xiaolian's brother Li Jingweng and sister-in-law Xi Shufen, who are also Jinzhu's uncle and aunt.
At first, the other party didn't recognize Jin Zhu. Li Jingweng just felt that these girls were quite delicate, and they were a little similar to his sister Li Xiaolian, and after a closer look, he recognized a few golden beads. And at this time. Jin Yang had already recognized the other party one step ahead.
Jin Zhu didn't pay attention to the other party, it was Jin Yang who pulled the corners of her clothes and snuggled her mouth, and Jin Zhu searched out the impression of these two people from her brain.
She looked at Li Jingweng first, and her impression of this uncle, Jin Zhu, was not particularly good, at least, he did not fulfill his duties as a brother to Li Xiaolian, the only sister. If he came forward when Yang Dashan beat Li Xiaolian for the first time, he would have been more resolute. Jin Zhu felt that Yang Dashan in the back would not be so intensified, so this family would not be scattered.
Today's Sun family is a good example, although Sun Zhiyong and Sun Zhiqiang brothers are selfish, but there is one thing that people have done, and they are sincere to Sun Xiaoyan, and they have warned Yang Dashan more than once, saying that if he dares to move Sun Xiaoyan's finger, their brothers will dare to chop off Yang Dashan's hand.
Of course, Jin Zhu also admitted that there are also Li Xiaolian's personal factors, Li Xiaolian's blind obedience, to a certain extent, also fostered Yang Dashan's bad temper.
Sun Xiaoyan is different, she knows when to pinch Yang Dashan, when to give face to her husband, and when to please Yang Dashan, so Yang Dashan will feel that she is indispensable.
But it seems to be a little unfair to Li Xiaolian to say this, she is a typical good wife and mother, she has paid so much to this family, if it weren't for the sadness more than the death of her heart, Jin Zhu felt that she would not choose the path of divorce. Moreover, Li Xiaolian did it resolutely enough, four years have passed, and she has really ignored her four children.
Thinking about it this way, Jin Zhu doesn't blame Li Jingweng, even Li Xiaolian, a mother, can ignore it, what reason does she have to criticize an uncle?
Look at Li Jingweng again, he is in his forties, he is not tall, he should be less than 1.7 meters, his square face, eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Li Xiaolian, it can be seen that he should be a handsome guy when he was young, but now he has been destroyed by the years, and I don't know if it is because he has bent over to make silver jewelry for a long time, and his back is also a little rickety.
Xi Shufen next to her wore a lotus-colored coat and a pair of black pants, her hair was coiled into a bun, and a silver hairpin that was already black was inserted, but the big earrings hanging on her ears were seven or eight percent new, with a long face, her complexion looked good, her face was full of red light, she was relatively strong at first glance, and she had the final say at home.
"Uncle, aunt." Since she met, Jin Zhu didn't want to miss this opportunity, she wanted to ask about Li Xiaolian.
"How many of you?" Li Jingweng looked Jin Zhu up and down, and then looked at Jin Yang, and finally his eyes fell on Jin Niu.
Because the Taurus was only one year old when Li Xiaolian left, and he was only two years old when he divorced later, and since then, Li Jingweng has never seen the Taurus again.
Seeing that the four sisters and brothers were very neat and clean, Li Jingweng also had some feelings, his eyes were red, he stepped forward and patted the head of the golden bull, and asked who was taking care of them now, what they relied on to live, and whether they were still studying.
Jin Zhu was a little puzzled when he heard these words, the suicide of Yang Jinzhu's sister and brother was so big last year, and Li Jingweng worked as a silversmith in the county seat, could he not know this?
Is it true or false?
When she was puzzled, she saw Xi Shufen pulling Li Jingweng's clothes and saying with a smile: "Dad, why did you forget?" Jin Zhu didn't accept government funding, many people donated money to them, but I didn't see a few nieces and nephews wearing better than prunes. ”
"Oh, yes, yes, how did I forget? Jin Zhu, how much money did you guys donate? In whose hands is that money now? Li Jingweng patted his head with a look of sudden realization.
Jin Zhu saw that he never mentioned their suicide, nor did he ask about Yang Dashan's second marriage, and after thinking about it, he understood that this Li Jingweng was pretending to be stupid.
He pretended not to know the current situation of Jin Zhu, so that he could still stand in front of Jin Zhu with a high sounding posture and hold his uncle's shelf, without having to take out a big son.
But the woman next to him didn't understand his intentions, and pulled his hind legs, so that he couldn't get off the stage for a while.
Thinking about the joints, Jin Zhu smiled slightly and said:
"The money is in our hands, we keep it for college, now we raise some chickens, ducks and geese to earn money, and we also come out to sell some things to earn money during the holidays, and when my dad left, he handed over the land to others, and a year's food is enough for the four of us to eat."
Jin Zhu was afraid that the other party would misunderstand that she would take the opportunity to cry poor and ask for money, so she hurriedly made her position clear, but she didn't tell the truth, because the other party's performance hurt her, if it weren't for Li Xiaolian's face, Jin Zhu would have taken Jin Yang a few times ago.
"Yo, that's a good dare, I didn't expect you babies to be really good, study hard in the future, and win glory for your old Yang family." Xi Shufen said.
Xi Shufen's words pinched out the little guilt in Li Jingweng's heart, how could he forget that Jin Zhu was a member of the Yang family, Li Xiaolian was divorced, and these children had nothing to do with their Li family.
Thinking of this, Li Jingweng put away the pity on his face and said with a smile: "It's not that, listen to your aunt's words, study hard, and win glory for the old Yang family in the future. ”
"Uncle, wait a minute, I want to ask, how is my mother now? Where is she? Jin Zhu stopped him, and she hadn't asked the most important thing yet.
"Your mother went to Fujian to work, okay, she gave birth to another son, and left the child at home to your grandmother."
"Uncle, can you tell me my mother's mobile phone number?"
"This baby, what are you asking for? Your mom can't answer the phone during work hours, she has to work twelve or thirteen hours a day. Okay, listen to my uncle, live a good life, don't worry about your mother anymore, your mother is very good. ”
After Li Jingweng said this, he was afraid that Jin Zhu would pester him again, so he left in a hurry without looking back.
Jin Zhu looked at the backs of these two people, and then looked at the three younger brothers and sisters beside him who looked dazed, and didn't say anything, just hugged the three of them tightly. (To be continued......)
