Chapter 62, Favors are not reciprocated, and snowshoes warm the feet
When she arrived at Li Aniu's house, the lights in the main room had been turned off, and she was blamed for being snoozy, if she slept for an hour less in the morning, she would not be busy until this time. I had to call the door hard, "Aunt Niu, it's my little five." ”
Aunt Niu had already fallen asleep, and now she heard the voice, and hurriedly got up and got dressed to open the door.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong, is there something wrong at home?" Aunt Niu thought that the child ran over in the middle of the night, and saw Da Lang and Erlang again, thinking that Xu Shiro had an accident at home, and she was in a hurry to go out of the yard.
"Aunt Niu, no, the family is fine, I have something to do with you, Uncle Niu can sleep?"
"No, let's get in the house." After entering Aunt Niu's house, Situ Yan noticed that this mountain baby and Aunt Niu lived in the same room, and her face was red with shame wrapped in a quilt naked.
Situ Yan is in a tight matter here, and she doesn't have time to avoid suspicion, "Uncle Niu, time is tight, and my brothers and I were busy until this time before we rushed out with some things." I didn't have time to ask you, how many people are in your family when you serve in the army? ”
"My father left last year, and there are only me and my brother. It's just that I have separated from them, but I don't move around often. Situ Yan also understands that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and since the relationship between the two families is not good, then she doesn't have to take care of it.
"Uncle, this is a medicine bag, you put it away, there are four paper packets in it, which are written: nourishment, heat, blood, diarrhea, you don't know and don't reach it, then ask the yacha, they must know, this is written to raise the medicine, if you feel tired or feel that the body can't hold on, take a pill, at least you can consolidate the foundation and increase your strength. This hot medicine is an emergency medicine when you have a fever, you can only take one pill at a time, if you don't burn, don't take it, if you take all three pills and the fever has not subsided, then you have to quickly find a Lang Zhong to see. This blood medicine is a powdered hemostatic drug, if you have a minor injury, you can use it if you cut it, even if it is a small injury, so as not to freeze the wound, which will be more serious. Finally, if you have a stomachache or eat something unclean, take one laxative. Situ Yan spoke carefully, this medicine can't be used wrong.
"Girl, what do you want me to say, thank you, auntie." Aunt Niu didn't think it when she first heard it, but then she realized that what the child sent was life-saving things, and she cried when she hugged Situ Yan.
"Auntie, don't cry, I still have a lot to say, I have to go to the fourth aunt's house after I finish speaking, and if I don't go to the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt, I'm afraid I'm going to sleep."
"Okay, my aunt doesn't cry." Aunt Niu also knows that Situ Yan has a lot of things, and it is not her time to be sad.
From Da Lang's hand, he handed the straw mat to Uncle Niu, "Uncle, this straw mat is specially made by me, I don't have anything to do at home, this straw mat is convenient to use, the quilt is stuffed in it, and when you sleep, you will drill it from the end of the opening, that is, you will not be robbed of the quilt, and it will not leak air, and even if you don't sleep on the kang, it is not cold under your body." When the service is over, throw this away, and you don't have to carry it on your back when you come back. ”
"Girl, uncle won't say anything." Li Aniu's eyes were also red, and the words were choked in his throat and couldn't spit out.
"Uncle has something to say, let's talk about it when you come back." took out a string of money from the basket on his back and handed it to Sister-in-law A Niu, "This is a hundred yuan, uncle, don't push it yet, listen to me." This poor family is rich, and when you get to the place where you serve, if you want to do less work and eat something good, it is not possible to do a little bit of work, even if you can't work less after the dot, it's better than letting people stumble on small shoes. And this money is not mine, it should be paid to my aunt's salary first, this time I rely on my aunt, you just don't want to make shoes for me to sell. ”
"Girl, why don't you know that auntie is thinking about it, this is to help and not let the aunt owe affection in her heart." Aunt Niu covered her face with her hands and cried on the mountain baby.
"Auntie, I'm not as good as you say, I'm just a monkey. And my aunt, you sew a pair of shoes for your uncle according to the way we sold them, but I heard that the ditch was dug because it was freezing outside, and if the feet were not cold, the body would not be cold. My aunt and I still have to go to the fourth uncle's house, so I won't stay much, uncle, don't get off the kang, let my aunt go and fork the courtyard door tightly, I will follow my brothers, and nothing will happen. Li Aniu, who was about to get off the kang in Situ Yan, pressed back on the kang again, and then took Li Dalang's hand and went out.
Aunt Niu kept sending people outside the hospital, and only returned to the house when they saw that they were gone. Looking at the things on the kang, I dared to cry loudly.
"Daughter-in-law, don't cry, I'm gone, the family is all about you, if you cry again and hurt yourself, what can you do?" Li Aniu doesn't talk much on weekdays, but when he is facing his daughter-in-law, he can still say a few words.
"I'm in good health, and I have these things from the girl, I promise to come back well. I can take 50 yuan of this money, and you can save this 50 yuan, so that it will be better for the New Year. ”
"No, the girl is right, you need it most when you're away from home. I stay at home all day long, there is no place to use money, and there is a girl, I feel that I have a backbone, you say that this girl is only six years old, and she is better than the masters who are in charge. ”
"Yes, mother, you don't know, Da Lang, they are now full of food and warm clothes, I look fat, the house is clean, and I look very enviable, if my sister is also at home, how good would it be?"
Aunt Niu also has a daughter, 14 years old this year, three years ago there was a drought, the family couldn't get by, sold to a big family in the county as a slave, although the contract was signed, but the family has been having a hard time, when it was sold for one or two silver, it was five taels of silver when it was redeemed, and now the family can't take it out. At this time, when her son mentioned it, she was even more sad in her heart, and her tears couldn't stop flowing out.
"Bastard, what nonsense." Li Aniu glared at his son, so frightened that the mountain baby grunted and shrunk into the quilt. Only then did Li Aniu take his daughter-in-law into his arms and comforted him with a stack of voices. Aunt Niu cried for a while, and then she collected her tears.
"By the way, shoes, this thing is going to be sold for money, but it's cheap for you." Aunt Niu wiped away her tears and turned on the lamp and started to make shoes, in fact, she had good shoes at home, but there were embroidered flowers by Aunt Fu on them, she couldn't use them, so she hurriedly made another pair for Li Aniu. I feel a little moved in my heart, this is with the girl, and the family will have more livelihood in the future, maybe I will be able to bring my daughter back next year, I feel that there is hope for the future, and this hand is a little faster.
"This girl is a treasure! It would have been nice if our family had taken her in. Li Aniu thought that when he saw this girl for the first time, he didn't have that thought, and now he still regrets it.
"It's not too late to come and go now, I see that girl is a good baby, as long as we treat her sincerely, she will also be really good for us." The two chatted for a while, and Aunt Niu urged the head of the house to go to sleep, and Ming'er had to hurry, so it was not okay to sleep less.
Besides, Situ Yan went to Li Si's house with Li Dalang and Li Erlang, and they called the door the same way.
"Who, I don't let people sleep in the middle of the night." Listening to the angry scolding coming from the West Chamber, Situ Yan was angry. This Li Si is good, but this brother and daughter-in-law are really not welcomed.
When the fourth aunt came out, she saw that it was Situ Yan and Da Lang, and the reaction of Aunt Ah Niu was the same, thinking that something had happened to Shilang.
Situ Yan didn't say anything else, and pulled the fourth aunt into her house, and then said what she meant. She has to give benefits to others, and she has to be willing, and if irrelevant people want to take advantage, there is no door.
"Girl, where did you get all these pills?" Li Si doesn't talk much on weekdays, but his mind is careful.
"Fourth uncle, this pill was given by someone in the previous dart bureau, I have been staying on my body for self-defense, and I can't use it, seeing that the fourth uncle is going to serve, I just used it for my uncle." Situ Yan understands medical matters, and she doesn't want too many people to know, although this Li Si's family is good, but their family still has an unobtrusive person living with her, so it's better to be careful.
"Fourth uncle, you can't give these things to others I gave you, you just don't do it for yourself, you also have to think about the fourth aunt and Brother Gouzi, you are kind to others, people don't necessarily remember your goodness, if you tire yourself up, only the fourth aunt and Brother Gouzi are really distressed. Even if I don't say it, you can understand how sad life will be if there is no head in this family, you have to be vigilant when you look at my family, even if the eldest brother will be the first next year, but there are still fewer people who bully our family? So you must keep these life-saving things. ”
When Situ Yan said these words, the fourth aunt cried louder, and she heard a scolding from the West Chamber, "Crying, crying, crying when you see the sky, you are not afraid of bad luck." If you don't sleep, we will sleep. ”
The fourth aunt covered her mouth and suppressed her voice, Situ Yan frowned, and even Li Si's face was blue and white. He is also angry, it doesn't matter if this brother and sister don't pay attention to it on weekdays, there are people in this family, and they are still like this, his younger brother doesn't even care about it, and he doesn't take him as a brother in his eyes.
"Auntie, this 100 wen money for the fourth uncle to bring on his body, and he will use it for some time in the service, you stay at home with this 100 wen, I heard that the fourth grandfather is not in good health, buy some delicious food for him to make up." Your body is also weak, so it's better to make up for it together. ”
"I'll take this thing, I won't ask for this money, the girl quickly put it away, or the aunt will be angry." The fourth uncle and the fourth aunt pushed together.
"Auntie, you heard me say that this money is not mine, it is your own wages, and when the shoes are ready, I will deduct them from the inside. And the shoes should be made for him by the fourth uncle first, so that his feet will not be cold when he wears them out. I still have to go to Uncle Muramasa's house, and it will be too late if I don't go. ”
The fourth aunt also sent everyone away before entering the house. chatted with Li Si for a while, and also lit the lamp and made cotton shoes.
After leaving Li Si's house, Situ Yan did not go to Murazheng's house, but turned back to his own house. Da Lang and Ji Lang asked two questions puzzled.
"Uncle Mura Zheng will definitely use silver money to exempt the fifth grandfather from forced labor, and he himself does not have to serve, the youngest sheep in the family is the largest, but he is not yet the age of a Ding, as for Li Wangcai and I, how can I be willing?" Only then did Li Dalang understand. Erlang still didn't understand, "Little Wu, then you just told the fourth aunt that you were going to the village house." ”
"It's just an excuse, if we don't leave, the fourth uncle won't be able to rest." Situ Yan explained this sentence, and stopped talking, there are still a lot of straw mats at home that have not been made, and there are five families who did not follow the coaxing of Shiro's matter before, although they did not help to speak, but they can not fall into the ground, this feeling, she also wrote it down. Thinking of hurrying up, Ming'er asked Da Lang and Erlang to send the sleeping bags made of straw mats to several families early in the morning, and as for the medicine, forget it. These people are not worthy of use.
After going home, let Da Lang go to rest first, the three of them lay in the west room and didn't feel sleepy for a while, Da Lang touched Shiro's head, looked at Shiro sleeping deeply, and his heart was very steady.
"Big brother, do I think Xiao Wu looks different from Uncle Niu's family?" Erlang has an upright temperament, if people treat him well, he treats people well, and he is a little unaccustomed to seeing his little sister like this.
"Xiao Wu can't help it, Uncle Niu's family has already split up, and he has nothing to do with his younger brother, and no one will say anything if Xiao Wu helps more. But the fourth uncle's family has not been separated yet, and you have also seen the fourth uncle's younger brother and sister, full of sports cars, if such a person knows Xiao Wu's ability, he will not be everywhere. You should also pay attention, and you are not allowed to talk about Xiao Wu's affairs in the future, so as not to cause trouble to her. ”
"Oh, I see. Big brother rest assured, I will keep my mouth tight in the future and never say anything outside. ”
"Big brother, do you think Xiao Wu will not?" San Lang didn't sleep at this time, and he interjected while listening to his brothers chatting.
"I don't know, think about Xiao Wu's ability to cook, heal, sew, and read, compared to Xiao Wu, except for the strength of this body, it is useless at all."
"Big brother, you're here again, if you let Xiao Wu hear it, it's strange to see that she doesn't get angry with you. I understand what Xiao Wu means, the family should support each other, whoever will know more will make more decisions, and whoever will know less will listen to the order, which is nothing bad, and I study hard and be literate, Xiao Wu said that she will have those books on it, and I can understand it in the future, so I can help Xiao Wu. "San Lang understands better than Da Lang, and these words woke up Da Lang all of a sudden." Yes, he can also be like Saburo, how can he turn the tip of the bull's horns himself. "I thought about it, and my mood was different.
The three of them chatted a few more words before falling asleep.
Situ Yan was busy until the beginning of the Yin period, and the five straw mat sleeping bags were ready, and she could still squint for a while to see if it was dark, and she didn't go back to the east room, she got into a sleeping bag and fell asleep.
The rooster crowed all over the place, thinking that all the families should get up, so he asked Da Lang and Erlang to send the things out first. Several families happily took it. When the people who served in the village gathered at the entrance of the village, there were eight families carrying a roll of straw mats in addition to the quilt.
There were some people in the village with broken faces of disdain, and the women who came to see them off were even more discussing, and even said a few sour words, "I really haven't seen the world, and it's not ashamed to even recite this broken straw mat." I can't even afford a quilt. ”
They didn't know that before these men arrived at the place, those who disdained and said sour things became red-eyed, staring at the straw mats of eight people every day.
These families glanced at each other and knew what they were all about, especially Li Aniu, Li Si and Liangzi, they knew that these people were also recognized by the girl. Not to mention these families, they are all honest and dutiful people, it seems that the girl looks at people accurately.
The women took the children and sent the men out of the village, until the figures were no longer visible, and then they dared to cry loudly. Situ Yan didn't go, she couldn't help with this, and she didn't have anything to do with her family, so it was better not to show up than to make people look angry.
