The two chatted for a while, and the carriage also arrived home, and when they arrived home, Xiaobao and Chen'er greeted them from the courtyard, and it was very strange that Yu'er also followed behind, and when they saw that they came down, Yu'er's eyes were taken aback. I have seen horses when I was in town, but I have never ridden in a carriage.

Yu'er is ten years old, and although she usually lives in the town, she doesn't go out of the door. In the future, the He family plans to marry her daughter to a big family, even if it is to be a concubine, so she has always kept Yu'er at home and does not want her to do anything, saying that she is afraid that her hands will be rough, and she will only learn to dress up beautifully every day. I didn't let her go out to play if she had nothing to do, saying that she couldn't find a good in-law in the future.

But Yu'er is a child after all, the outside world still has a certain attraction to her, Yu'er saw that Lin He could follow Dabao everywhere, in addition to a trace of envy in her eyes, there was also contempt, she felt that a country girl would definitely not find a good in-law after showing her face everywhere, and she would definitely not be able to compare.

Lin He saw Yu'er standing in his courtyard, walked up to Yu'er, and called out with a smile, "Sister Yu'er, why are you here today." ”

Yu'er replied, "I came with my mother, and my mother and Erniang are talking in the house." ”

Lin He nodded, walked to the house, and sure enough, He was talking to his mother in the house, Lin He and Dabao went over and shouted, "Auntie." Dabao walked out, and Lin He sat down on Huang's side and watched Huang's embroidery.

Lin He secretly glanced at the He family, and saw that the He family seemed to have something to say, but he never spoke, thinking that there was nothing good about it, don't blame her for being a villain, the He family usually doesn't come to her house if it's fine, and every time he comes, there are always some things like this or that. Lin He didn't say anything, he sat on the side, waiting for He to speak.

Sure enough, He sat for a while, and some couldn't sit still, so he said, "Second brother and sister, it's Laba in a few days, how are you going to live in your family?" ”

Lin He came here and knew that Laba was a big festival in this era, and the family had to give some gifts to relatives and neighbors, and if there were old people, they would have to honor the old people.

Huang didn't know why He asked this, so he was stunned for a moment, and replied, "I don't know yet, and the child's father didn't say anything, so he should have prepared something to give to relatives and neighbors." ”

He immediately said, "Yes, it's really sad now, I want to give gifts to my relatives during the New Year's Festival, and I want to honor the elderly, our family is not even enough rations for our own family, and I don't know what to do, I went to my mother's house yesterday and wanted to borrow a few, but my mother is also short of money, and I don't know how to spend this festival?" After speaking, he secretly looked at Huang's reaction.

Lin He finally knows the purpose of He's coming now, he should want to come over to borrow money, this Laba Festival is just an excuse, presumably Huang also heard He's meaning, and didn't immediately interface, after a while, he sighed, "Yes, it's really sad now, now we have a lot of family, and we haven't paid in the account, and we're sad in winter." ”

He's face changed, and he immediately recovered, and said, "Second brother and sister, your family's life is much better than ours, you see this house is bright, and it makes people envious, your family's few acres of fertile land, it looks relieved, and when it comes to the harvest next year, the grain can be put in the warehouse, which is like our family, the days have passed and there is no next meal, you said that we are both the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, why am I so troubled this day." ”

Huang smiled helplessly, and persuaded, "Sister-in-law, how can there be, something has happened to your family recently, it is more difficult, but it is only temporary, after a few years, when your family Qingshan also agrees to marry, marry a good daughter-in-law and come back to honor you, when Yu'er is also older, find a good mother-in-law's family, how good, no better than our family, the child is still so young, just to raise it is sad to die." ”

He really laughed when he heard Huang praise his child, but he still said, "How can our Yu'er compare with your He'er, your He'er is a golden nest, and it will make money, last time I heard my cousin say that He'er and Dabao went to the town to sell things and got a lot of money, second brother and sister, I won't go around in circles, today I have something to ask you for help, you have to help me." ”

Huang raised his head and looked at her, and was about to speak, but He had already spoken, "There is no rice in this house, I want to borrow some money from you to buy some food and come back to cook porridge and drink, so that I can survive these few days." I'll go to my mother's house in a few days. ”

Huang's face is really embarrassed, borrowing is not not borrowing, if you borrow, the family really can't borrow a few times, and last time I borrowed such a large sum of money to his family, if I didn't borrow, He said so pitiful, it is indeed worrying, and my concubine can't look at it.

Just thinking about it, Yu'er walked in, presumably she also knew about the He family coming to borrow money today, and she didn't know how long she had been standing there, and when she saw that the Huang family had not spoken, she also said, "Erniang, you can lend some to my mother, my family really has no money, my father goes outside every day to find work, and he can't find it, the family has been drinking porridge for many days, and when he has money, he will definitely pay it back to you." ”

If the adult's request Huang could not bear to refuse, the child's request Huang really couldn't refuse, so he had to borrow two hundred big money to He, and He and Yu'er went back after getting the money.

In fact, what kind of life the He family lived, Lin He knew, their family was much better than Lin He's family before, although there was nothing, but from time to time someone helped their family, I heard many villagers say that their family is at this time, except for Lin Dajiang, the family eats and drinks at all.

The people in the family still wear silk clothes brought from the town, never wear coarse cloth clothes, eat white flour every day, and the worst also has cornmeal, so the money is used so quickly, but what kind of life people live at home, it is not their turn to speak, but it is not a way to go on like this, it seems that we still have to think of a way, or I don't know how many times He has to borrow money.

Huang sat for a while before remembering to ask Lin He how the shops in the town were doing, and whether the decoration had been done. Lin He was very happy when he thought of the shop in the town, and he also told the Huang family about Uncle Wen.

Huang said, "Uncle Wen is really a good person, it is rare that he does not dislike us as croppers, and is willing to help us like this, we have really met a noble person, you will help others to do a good job in the future."

After thinking about it, he said, "Since it is so good to us, it would be good for us to give some gifts when we are in Laba." ”

Lin He also thinks that it should be, but what is it good to give, Uncle Wen should have everything at home, and these things at home are indeed not available, but it is better to think of a way, it is best to send something that does not cost too much money and can express one's heart, if it is a unique one, it would be better.
