"Qiao Niang said that I listened to my mother's idea very well that time, and I specially visited the door today, but after finding the place, someone at home said that it was wrong, and she waited on the side of the street." After Zhang Xiaotao finished speaking, she asked Zhang Xiaoman tentatively, "Did the eldest sister see anyone today?" It was difficult for the mother to invite Qiao Niang, so she was very angry when she heard that Qiao Niang was neglected, but fortunately Qiao Niang was a very good person, and said that she would come again next time, and her mother was in a better mood. ”

In this way, it is really the delicate and weak voice during the day, but it is not like such a person who can talk to Li Yuechan, and besides, he waited on the side of the road without seeing anyone, which is too stupid.

Zhang Xiaotao said again: "My mother has been appreciated by a big family in the past few days, and she may be able to stabilize her work." ”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, so if Zhang Erzhu also finds a job, the life of the family will not be too sad, but it is difficult to say whether they can see each other again in the future, and what the situation will be like when they see each other again.

Zhang Xiaotao's expression became hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.

Zhang Xiaoman already knows that Zhang Xiaotao is not an ordinary person, at least it seems that she is not a native of this era, and there will not be much contact between the two in the future, Zhang Xiaoman will not ask too carefully, Zhang Xiaotao is smarter than her, then she will also fulfill that she doesn't want to be discovered, such a comparison makes her learn to be more cautious.

Zhang Xiaotao looked at Zhang Xiaoman hopefully, Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?" ”

Zhang Xiaotao said: "I want to go to school, but my mother won't let me go." ”

Li Yuechan naturally won't let Zhang Xiaotao go to school, not to mention that going to school has to be disciplined, Li Yuechan is reluctant to spend money, although Li Yuechan must have studied before, she still upholds that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and besides, her daughter is someone else's family after all, Li Yuechan doesn't want to spend effort on things that are not worth it.

Zhang Xiaotao had no choice but to ask Zhang Xiaoman here, she knew that Zhang Xiaoman was not an ordinary person, if she could help her, she would definitely succeed.

Zhang Xiaoman said: "I mentioned it to my mother. ”

Zhang Xiaotao almost jumped up when she heard Zhang Xiaoman say this, and when she saw that Zhang Xiaoman was not very happy, the excitement on her face slowly went down, "Mother doesn't agree?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Xiaoman looked at Zhang Xiaotao, "I think if you want to realize your dreams, you have to rely on yourself, I can't protect myself now, and I don't know where I will be sent in the next year." ”

Zhang Xiaotao was silent, and probably heard a little wind from Li Yuechan's mouth, and she sympathized with Zhang Xiaoman from the bottom of her heart.

It's just that when Zhang Xiaoman was about to enter the house to clothe vegetables, she whispered, "At least you are good-looking, I don't have as good luck as you." ”

Zhang Xiaoman took two steps, stopped and thought about it seriously, is she good-looking? It's just that the skin is a little whiter, that is still the result of Zhang Erzhu's care for ten years, and when she is alone in the future, she dares to guarantee that her only advantage will slowly disappear.

"One day you will understand that stability is the greatest advantage." With no fixed place and no future, and a life that is always at the mercy of others, Zhang Xiaoman has not been able to break free from her previous life to this life, and she doesn't know when and which place is her destination.

I want to say a lot of things, but it's useless to say more, Zhang Xiaoman turned around and looked at Zhang Xiaotao for a while, and went into the house with vegetables to distribute vegetables to Li Yuecian, Zhang Erzhu and Zhang Dafu and Zhang Xiaofu will also come, and the family has dinner, thinking about their own affairs, and a night passes in a blink of an eye.

Repeating the days of the day like this will soon be the day before the New Year.

Zhang Xiaoman has found Qiao Niang, and she learned paper-cutting for a few days, cut out some festive and pleasing pictures, and sell them on the street, like some mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who will temporarily take out some hoarded items to sell until the New Year, Zhang Xiaoman spread a piece of cloth on the street, put the things prepared the day before on the table, and smiled sweetly, although her face is very unfamiliar, and the pictures are not the best, but she still barely sold some.

People in small places pay attention to familiar faces, Qiao Niang's paper-cutting sells very well, Zhang Xiaoman later learned that Qiao Niang is also a person she knows, that is, Brother Mu's mother, Brother Mu is the hunter he met by selling furs before, but Qiao Niang didn't know Zhang Xiaoman, Zhang Xiaoman didn't say that period of origin, and after a few days, they didn't meet again without Qiao Niang's help.

Zhang Xiaoman saw that the old doctor was three days ago, and a table was set up at the door of the hospital to write couplets, it was really a meeting everywhere in life, if I had known that the old doctor would write well, maybe the two would cooperate, and Zhang Xiaoman could also have a bumper harvest year.

After that, it was to make up for Zhang Dafu's repair, there was not much money but Zhang Xiaoman's family had no money, and several people took out all the money in their hands and finally got it together, as well as Zhang Dafu's book costs, as well as the problem of eating in the school to be solved, there were a lot of things, and no one had the heart to be angry anymore.

Li Yuechan was determined not to be involved with Zhang Xiaoman, and she never asked for the golden box back, as well as the two hundred taels given by Qi Ziyun, Zhang Xiaoman didn't want to rely on them, maybe her leaving was the best relief for the family.

After packing up the remaining patterns today, Zhang Xiaoman slowly walked home.

Tomorrow is the New Year, I heard that Li Yuechan still has to do work tomorrow, Zhang Erzhu also found a temporary job, either to help this family kill pigs, or to help that family carry rice, the money is not much more or less, Zhang Erzhu is very content.

Zhang Dafu wants to go to school, Zhang Erzhu ruthlessly bought a book for Zhang Dafu, Zhang Xiaoman has never seen that book, and he can't tell what the name is, I heard that the teacher gave the students enlightenment after the year, Zhang Dafu has to read every day, Zhang Xiaofu was forced by Li Yuecian to study with Zhang Dafu every day, Zhang Xiaofu likes to play, so he doesn't like to read, and the family now becomes Zhang Xiaofu and Li Yuecian fight in the ring every day.

When the child is older, there will be quarrels, and Zhang Xiaoman will smile silently when he thinks of those scenes.

Zhang Xiaotao has been following Li Yuechan's side, she does not have Li Yuechan's good life, Li Yuecian was born in a good family since she was a child, and she used to enjoy a good life, and Zhang Xiaotao now has to follow Li Yuechan to do some simple work, go out early and return late, occasionally Zhang Xiaoman will find that she often looks at herself with envious eyes, and sometimes hears the clever little girl giving to a big family to be a maid, Zhang Xiaoman only hopes that Li Yuecian will not decide Zhang Xiaotao's life so early.

There are also children who were given to other people's families as child daughters-in-law when they were young, Zhang Xiaoman felt that Zhang Erzhu would not let such a thing happen, but the poor people were at a loss, and the rich people could not eat and wear, Zhang Xiaoman finally understood that it was not that this dynasty was poor, but that poverty was destined to exist in the dynasty.
