Chapter 69, relatives are distant and close

Yang Jihua and Yang Jining still didn't stay for this meal, and Jin Zhu naturally didn't rush to inquire about Li Xiang's family affairs, but fortunately, she was not a curious person, so she quickly put down this matter and still did what to do.

Li Xiang didn't come over for three days, and Jin Zhu didn't know if he wanted to avoid suspicion or because his mood hadn't adjusted, but when Jin Niu drove ducks and geese home from the river every afternoon, he could see Li Xiang sitting by the river with a harmonica and playing non-stop, with his painting folder beside him.

Jin Yang and Jin Liu originally wanted to go to see him when they heard this, but they were stopped by Jin Zhu.

There are already rumors in the village, and it is obviously inappropriate for them to get together at this time, which will not only cause trouble to Li Xiang, but also cause trouble to themselves.

The events of that day are a clear example of this.

However, Jin Zhu still drove out two long-sleeved and two short-sleeved and two summer pants for him overnight according to the original plan, and just when she was hesitating whether and how to send these things, Li Xiang came to the door again.

"Brother Xiang, my eldest sister and I went to sell all the chickens in the past two days." Jin Yang always thought that the was to blame.

If it weren't for Jin Zhu's insistence on eating chicken, Li Xiang would not have been allowed to stand outside with her to kill chickens, and the villagers would not have seen it, let alone reach Zhou Shuixian's ears.

Of course, Jin Yang didn't blame Jin Zhu, she knew that Jin Zhu was also to treat a few of them, but who would have thought that there would be so many troubles?

Speaking of which, it's still Zhou Shuixian's fault, I can't see a few of them have a good life.

This chicken incident once again deepened Jin Yang's resentment towards Zhou Shuixian, and strengthened Jin Yang's desire to make money.

"Sold so soon?" Li Xiang looked at Jin Zhu.

"It's also a coincidence. I happened to meet a northern tour group who wanted to eat roast chicken, and those people were very happy to see such a big chicken in our house. I bought it without even paying the price. Jin Zhu said with a smile.

It is also a coincidence, the local people eat roast chicken is generally called chicken, that is, the chicken that has not yet fully developed, it is two catties to weigh, those few people in the market turned around, only to see that Jin Zhu and Jin Yang sold the rooster weighed six or seven catties, and the coat color was very bright. When I asked if it was still raised by my own family, those people took it away without saying a word, and the six big chickens were sold for six hundred and twenty yuan. It's a hundred dollars more than Jin Zhu and Jin Yang expected.

"It's a pity, if that chicken doesn't eat it, it can be sold for an extra hundred dollars." Li Xiang's eyes darkened when he said this.

What happened that day was like a nightmare, and he never imagined that his uncle would not come home because his grandmother had broken his leg. And all these years, he has always mistakenly thought that his uncle refused to return home because he disliked his birth.

Speaking of which. In the final analysis, all this tragedy happened because of his birth, it was his birth that brought shame to his mother and shame to the family, so his grandmother was angry with his uncle, so his mother committed suicide by jumping into the river.

However, if he had a choice, he would not have asked for such a humiliating background.

He is also innocent.

For the past three days, he sat by the river every afternoon to mourn his mother. He also asked his grandmother what kind of person his father was. But in addition to shaking her head, her grandmother was in tears, she said that she wanted to know who had harmed her daughter, she had already come to the door with a kitchen knife to cut the other party, and she would wait until today?

Jin Zhu saw that Li Xiang was preoccupied, and when he didn't know how to solve it, he saw Jin Liu shaking his head and saying: "What's the pity about this, my eldest sister said that the daughter will come back after being scattered, which means that the money is not earned, and there will be it if it is spent, and the same is true for chickens, just eat and raise it." ”

"Yo, you remember this, hurry up tomorrow for the second sister to buy a few chickens, you can raise them well and wait for the New Year to sell." Jin Yang tugged at Jin Liu's braids.

Jin Yang did think about raising a few more chickens, because the batch of steers she bought in the spring has now grown three or four catties, and it is estimated that they will be sold on the National Day, so that there will be no food for the New Year.

"Second sister, I hate it, you always pull my hair." Jin Liu pouted and glared at Jin Yang dissatisfied.

"Second sister, third sister doesn't support me." The Taurus patted his chest proudly.

Since the ducks in the family began to lay eggs in the spring, Jin Zhu credited the credit to the golden bull, and the golden bull has always been full of confidence, he has also contributed to this family, and it is a great contribution.

"Okay, it's still our Taurus sensible." Jin Yang praised the golden bull and touched his head.

"What words? As if I'm not sensible? Jin Liu's little mouth curled.

Jin Zhu saw Li Xiang looking at all this enviously, and knew that he must have remembered his own life experience, no father, no mother, no brothers and sisters, and only a grandmother who was over sixty years old by his side, so he had never experienced this kind of happiness between brothers and sisters.

"Okay, the three of you are making a fuss, go upstairs and take down Brother Xiang's things." Jin Zhu commanded.

When Jin Yang and the three of them went upstairs, Jin Zhu asked Li Xiang if he had eaten dinner, when he left, and what clothes he lacked.

Li Xiang answered them one by one.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm supposed to do." Li wanted to see the worry in Jin Zhu's eyes, and in turn comforted Jin Zhu.

This is also the reason why he came to see Jin Zhu before leaving, he was afraid that Jin Zhu would worry about him.

"That's good, remember one sentence, only when you become strong yourself, you have the ability to do what you want to do, to protect the people you want to protect."

"Who I want to protect?"

Li wanted to look at Jin Zhu, waiting to confirm something further, but Jin Zhu had already realized that he had said the wrong thing, "Well, I mean you don't blame yourself too much for your mother's death, and your uncle's leg, those are all in the past." When you have the ability in the future, you can get your uncle back and reunite him with your grandmother, I think Ma Po has forgiven him. ”

As soon as Jin Zhu's words were finished, Jin Yang and the three came down with their things, and the two of them did not continue the topic.

Li Xiang was not surprised at all when he saw the clothes that Jin Yang had taken down, but asked with a smile: "Why is no one sending me the clothes when they are ready, wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't come on this trip?" ”

"What a pity. I'm not going to sell it? Jin Yang rolled his eyes.

"Jin Yang, when I come back from the provincial capital, I will definitely buy you a beautiful stationery box." Li Xiang smiled at Jin Yang. It's a bit flattering.

"What about me, what about me, Brother Xiang?" When the golden bull heard the beautiful stationery box, he also rushed to Li Xiang.

He had long wanted a beautiful stationery box, because Jinbao's stationery box was brought back from Guangzhou by his mother, and Jinbao showed off in front of Jinniu.

Li Xiang touched the head of the golden bull, "You also have a share." There is also Jinliu. ”

"What about my eldest sister?" Jin Yang asked narrowly.

"No, don't, I don't. They don't need to, you don't need to spend money indiscriminately. Jin Zhu waved his hand and glared at Jin Yang.

Just kidding, isn't this sending back and forth for private teaching?

But then again. Jin Zhu sent so many handmade clothes to Li Xiang. And what?

"I'm leaving, I'll take care of it." Li Xiang didn't talk nonsense with Jin Zhu, touched the head of the golden bull, turned around and ran away with a pile of clothes, and his steps when he left were much lighter than when he came.

Who knew that as soon as Li Xiang walked with his front foot, Yang Shuyu rushed in with his back foot.

"Yang Jinzhu, you liar, you still say that you have nothing to do with Brother A Xiang. There's nothing you do to make clothes for him, there's nothing why you give him something and he wants it. What do I send him and he ignores me? ”

It turned out that Yang Shuyu had just come back from the county seat this afternoon, and before she had time to find Yang Qin, she saw the back of Li Xiang painting by the river from the window of her house, and she took her things to the riverside to find Li Xiang with great interest.

Before going home this time, she had heard from her aunt that Li wanted to go to the provincial capital to participate in the math competition, so she went to the bookstore in the county town and bought several high school Olympiad tutoring books for Li Xiang.

Ke Li wanted to be very hurt by the look of rejection thousands of miles away, not only did he not ask for her book, nor did he give her a smile, he painted by himself for an hour, and then sat down to play the harmonica for an hour, and Yang Shuyu sat stupidly next to him for two hours, until her brother came to the river and called her back.

When she returned home, Yang Qin learned from her mother-in-law's mouth about the quarrel between Ma Po and Zhou Shuixian, and the reason why her mother-in-law told her this was because she didn't want her to get involved in the matter of Li Xiang and Jin Zhu.

As soon as his granddaughter entered the door, she didn't even pack her luggage and ran to the riverside to find Li Xiang, and when she came back, she pouted and sulked, and the old man still didn't know what his granddaughter was thinking?

In fact, the old man had already seen his granddaughter's careful thinking, and it was precisely because of this that she would tell her husband to see if she could use her kindness to envelop Li Xiang, after all, Li Xiang's excellence is obvious to all.

But now it seems that nine times out of ten it will not be possible, so the old man must pinch off his granddaughter's careful thoughts.

But Yang Shuyu didn't understand the old man's good intentions, because she herself was still in a state of chaos, and she didn't know what kind of emotion she had for Li Xiang.

But Yang Shuyu is sure of one thing, that is, she can't see Li Xiang being sad, she can't see Li Xiang suffering, and she hopes that Li Xiang can get ahead.

Therefore, after the meal, she went to Li Xiang's house with the book, but Li Xiang was not there, she handed the book to Ma Po, and talked to Ma Po, and just when she was about to leave, she happened to meet Li Xiang who came back with a bunch of clothes and pants in a hurry.

It was a pile of new clothes and new pants, and who else in the village would tailor now except Jinzhu?

But before Yang Shuyu opened her mouth to ask Li Xiang if the clothes were made of Jinzhu, Li Xiang pulled down her face first to pick up Yang Shuyu, and Yang Shuyu came out of Li Xiang's house and ran directly to Jinzhu's house.

"Shuyu, you sit down and calm down first, and listen to what I tell you." Jin Zhu asked herself very frankly, she was to Li Xiang on the one hand to repay her kindness, on the other hand, she was indeed sympathetic to his suffering, if you said anything else, Jin Zhu really didn't have it for the time being.

Now she just wants to work hard to earn money, study hard, and bring up her younger brothers and sisters, and nothing else can only be left to time.

But Yang Shuyu, who was angry, couldn't listen to Jin Zhu's words at all, so she relied on Li Xiang to ask for Jin Zhu's clothes and not her books, and these distant relatives could tell the difference even with their eyes closed.

"You said it well, every time I saw you together, you could find a bunch of reasons to quibble, I believed you, but what about the facts? You liar, I still treat you as a friend, you are obviously with Brother A Xiang, and you still refuse to admit it, you ......" Yang Shuyu became more and more aggrieved the more she spoke, and she cried with a whimper

"Shuyu, let me say it again, Brother A Xiang and I really don't have that kind of relationship now, I've had a headache because of this matter in the past few days, so don't come and make trouble for me." Jin Zhu was a little impatient.

In the school, this matter made Jinzhu uneasy, I thought that I could hide from a quiet place during the holiday, but who knew that I was troubled as soon as the holiday was over, and it was only a few days, Yang Shuyu came to the door again.

To be honest, if it weren't for Yang Jihua's face, Jin Zhu really wanted to kick her out directly, and she didn't want to think about it, who was she Li Xiang, and what right did she have to question Jin Zhu?

"What do you mean it's not now? And what about after that? Will it be in the future? Yang Shuyu didn't see Jin Zhu's impatience at all, and reluctantly wanted to ask for a guarantee.

"Later? No one can say what will happen in the future, and I dare not guarantee anything. ”

Of course, Jin Zhu can see that Li Xiang does have a little bit of that meaning for her, but the current Jin Zhu will not accept it, and she herself is not clear what kind of choice Jin Zhu will make in the future.

"Okay, if you can't say it clearly, I don't believe it, I'll be worse than you?" After Yang Shuyu said this, she gritted her teeth and ran out.

Jin Yang is older, she has long seen that Li Xiang is different from Jin Zhu, so after Yang Shuyu left, she stepped forward and hugged Jin Zhu and said, "Eldest sister, don't be afraid, Brother A Xiang will not change his mind." ”

Jin Zhu knocked Jin Yang's head when he heard this, "Don't talk nonsense, go cook zongzi." Will you be able to do business tomorrow? ”

"Do it, do it, can you not do it? I still want to let go of my hands and feet. ”

On that day, she and Jinzhu went to sell chickens, and they didn't have time to wrap zongzi, but they broke and cooked the corn at home and took it to sell, but they didn't expect that there were many people who sold corn and sold zongzi, and most of the people who bought it were tourists, so Jin Yang had an idea, not only can you sell things on Wei Day, but you can also go on ordinary days.

That's why she said that she was going to do a big job this summer, and she wanted to try her ability to see how much money she could earn this vacation.

But the problem now is that Li Xiang is not here, Jin Zhu is not worried that she will go to Tianjiazhai alone, and Jin Yang alone can't take Jin Liu and dozens of catties of zongzi and corn at the same time.

Jin Zhu said that he would accompany her, but Jin Yang felt that Jin Zhu would not sell, and she would not be able to help her much, but instead delayed her time to make clothes at home.

"Yes, I'll go to Sister Yang Jing, her family grows a lot of corn, and her mother has to sell corn every year, so I'll ask her to go." Jin Yang thought of a way.

She also planned to go to Yang Dazhuang's house to buy some raw corn to cook and sell, because there were only a few corns in her vegetable field, and it should be broken in two days.

Jin Zhu saw Jin Yang running out in a hurry, she also restrained her mind and took Jin Liu into the stove room to cook zongzi. (To be continued......)
