The first is to ask for pink.

The outhouse was still quiet, except for the slight movement of the door curtain.

After Zhou finished crying, scolding, and being ruthless, he took out a big handkerchief, wiped his face loudly, and slowly quieted down.

During this period, no one in the room spoke out to persuade him, even the old man remained silent.

Lian Man'er's eyes wandered and looked at Zhou's face. Zhou's eyelids were a little swollen, and his eyes were cloudy and bloodshot. Lian Man'er remembered that Lian Ye'er told her that the Zhou family was in the upper room, and they would come to such a scene from time to time. And every time he makes such a fuss, Zhou will cry.

This crying is different from the crying when I pinched my son and daughter-in-law before. At that time, there were mostly contrived ingredients, but now, Zhou's is really sad, and he cries every time. This is especially true of this time.

Lian Shouren mentioned Lian Hua'er and said that he would go to Lian Hua'er with the Gu family to help, which couldn't help but make the Zhou family think of Lian Xiu'er.

Gu's daughter, Lian Huaer, when she was at home, lived the life of a landlord's young lady, and her relatives were the Song family on the rich side, and Song Hailong and Lian Huaer were the same age. In order to marry Lian Hua'er, the Lian family borrowed a huge amount of usury. Now that the Lian family has returned from Taicang in embarrassment, Lian Hua'er has not been affected, and she is still a husband and wife, living the life of a rich young grandmother.

And her Zhou's daughter, Lian Xiu'er, when she was at home, although she was slightly better off than the population of other houses, she was far inferior to Lian Hua'er. The family affair was used by the Gu family as a ladder to her own and Lian Shouren's wealth, and she was deceived into marrying an old man who was nearly eighty years old and had a large group of concubines and children. In order to save this big family, Lian Xiu'er almost went bankrupt. also took a husband, and from then on he had to be widowed for the rest of his life, and was locked up in a small nunnery, suffering and sin.

Such a strong contrast. How can Zhou not be annoyed and heartbroken.

Moreover, Lian Xiu'er was suffering in Taicang, and she had no way to save her. And Gu's. As the culprit who led to Lian Xiuer's tragedy, he can rely on his daughter Lian Huaer to continue to live a happy life.

How could Zhou allow such a thing to happen?

The Zhou family and the Gu family are destined to never abandon and never die.

Even if the Gu clan has a thousand clever plans, it is difficult to resist a certain rule of the Zhou clan. And no matter how domineering the Zhou family is, the Gu family is not the Zhang family, the Zhao family and others will let the Zhou family take care of it, who will kill the deer in the end?

Lian Man'er didn't know the answer, she only knew, no matter who it was. All take responsibility for their actions.

"Boss, you still have to go to this labor." When the Zhou family's side quieted down, even the old man spoke again, "The Song family's side." You don't talk about it in the future. It's been a few days, and no one has come that day, and there has been no letter. You go to the door by yourself, what is it going to be? …… From now on, don't even think about that. Farm and live honestly. …… Lianjia's face, there is not much left. You have to fight for yourselves and earn your face back! ”

Even the old man did not agree with Lian Shouren to go to the county seat to fight the autumn wind.

Lian Man'er nodded secretly, even the old man had seen this matter quite thoroughly, and this decision. It can be regarded as backbone.

"Dad, I ......"

Lian Shouren still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Old Man Lian's wave.

"You don't have to say anything, I know it all. …… The boss, the step-grandfather, this is the future. Let's live our lives steadily. ”

The matter of servitude was arranged in this way, and even the old man let everyone disperse.

When Lian Man'er came out of the old mansion, it was already dark. Zhang sent Xiaofu to bring lanterns over and pick up a few of them.

Xiaofu was at the front, carrying a lantern, and Xiaoxi followed Lian Man'er, holding a lantern in one hand and Lian Man'er with the other.

Lian Man'er was holding Xiao Qi's hand.

The autumn night sky is dotted with stars. The air is crisp and clean, with the smell of a bountiful harvest. The family was not in a hurry, but walked slowly.

With such stars and such a night, even Man'er only felt that her heart was infinitely stretched.

Xiao Qi giggled inexplicably, and even Man'er was infected, and laughed.

"Xiao Qi, don't you use your father to carry you?" Lian Shouxin asked Xiao Qi.

"No need, Dad, I'll go with my sister." Xiao Qi said with a grin.

In the autumn night, there is no wind, only the murmur of autumn insects. Especially after walking into the yard, the cries of the crickets around are even more one after another, and they are particularly clear in the silent night.

Farmers never want to drive away crickets that enter their yards or even houses. They believe that the arrival of crickets will bring them good luck and a good harvest.

"Xiao Qi, what do you hear our crickets call them?" Lian Man'er asked Xiao Qi.

"Dry firewood fine rice, dry firewood fine rice." Xiao Qi replied immediately.

That's right, the farmer interprets the cricket's cry as dry firewood and fine rice, and the more crickets call like this, the more dry firewood and fine rice will be brought to the family, that is, a richer life.

When Zhang's children were still infants, they heard Zhang's say this.

When a few people returned home, the lights in the front hall were on, and it was Zhang and Lian Zhi'er waiting for them to come back. Entering the front hall, Lian Man'er told Zhang and Lian Zhi'er everything about the old mansion just now.

"It seems that the old man has figured it out, and he wants to punish the temper of his uncle and step-ancestor." Zhang said.

"Yes, you have to stretch your muscles." Even the faithful echoed.

Even the old man is shrewd and knowledgeable about current affairs. When he found that his original plan didn't work at all, and the fourth room made up his mind to let Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi become self-reliant, even the old man had to change his mind.

Of course, Gorou's words of enlightenment should have also played a role.

In order for Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi to live, they must be turned into qualified croppers. Lian Shouyi's share is okay, but the most difficult thing is to change Lian Shouren and Lian Jizu.

This service is the best opportunity.

And even the old man solemnly called them over, firstly, to show their attitude, and secondly, to gain their support.

Even Old Man is not able to completely control the two groups of Lian Shouren and Lian Shouyi now. He needs Lian Shouxin and Gorou to cheer him on.

"My father is thinking about them, but I don't know if they will appreciate it." Gorou said.

……

The next day, Lian Man'er heard that Lian Shouren was sick, but when the people in the village set out to serve their labor, Lian Shouren still followed on the road.

Even the old man is cross-hearted this time.

"It would be nice if we could keep going like that." Lian Man'er said.

Here, Lian Shouren, Lian Shouyi, and Lian Jizu set off to serve in labor, and Lian Shouli came to Lian Man'er's house again in the evening.

"Fourth, my mother has something to say to you." Lian Shouli talked to Lian Shouxin, "Mother asked you to sell all those peanuts, don't keep them at all." My mother said that she and my father were old and couldn't eat peanuts. ”

"Okay." This request, even Shouxin naturally will not agree.

"Uncle San, is my grandmother going to use money?" Lian Man'er asked.

"Hmm." Lian Shouli nodded, "Your grandmother said, let me take the money from selling peanuts and buy her a plate of grinding." If the money from selling peanuts is not enough, your grandmother will let you watch and sell some other grains. Anyway, those grains can't be eaten. ”

"What are you going to grind my milk for?" Xiao Qi asked strangely.

"What kind of grinding does her milk want?" Zhang also asked.

"I want a big stone grinder, the kind that grinds noodles." Even the observance of the courtesy.

"What are you buying it for, our family has never grinded noodles by ourselves." Even keep your word.

Lian Man'er's family sends people to deliver rations to Old Man Lian and Zhou's every month, and the deliveries are all ground rice and noodles. The money for grinding rice and noodles was paid by Lian Man'er's family, and there was no need for Lian Lao Zi and Zhou's to pay.

There is a ready-made mill in the town, and if you grind rice and flour by yourself, you can save some money, but it will be a waste of effort. On the upper side of the house, there was no animal to call.

"Our mother just wants this stone mill." Even the salute is just the way.

"Then my grandfather knows no, does he agree?" Lian Man'er thought about it and asked.

"When your grandmother said this to me, your father was right there. You didn't say anything. "Even the observance of the salute said.

When Lian Shouli left, Lian Man'er's family discussed.

"What does his grandmother want this stone mill for?" Zhang was suspicious.

"Dad, then let's do as my grandmother says?" Lian Man'er asked Lian Shouxin directly.

"Let's sell the peanuts first." Even keep your word.

Soon, Lian Shouxin sold the 320 catties of peanuts that should have been given to Old Man Lian and Zhou's for 3,840 yuan in silver. After that, Lian Shouxin went to the old house again, got confirmation from Zhou's, and then bought a large stone mill for Zhou's with Lian Shouli.

The stone mill was very heavy, and it was pulled to the old house by mule cart, and several long-term workers worked together to settle it. This stone mill, according to Zhou's request, was placed in the courtyard, near the window sill of the landlord's house.

Zhou looked at the stone mill, and personally went up and pushed it. This big stone mill is not like the small stone mill used by Lian Man'er's family to make sauce blocks, this stone mill has a weight of hundreds of catties, and it is not easy for an adult man to push this stone mill with the strength of his arms alone.

Zhou used all her strength to push the stone mill around, and then she nodded with satisfaction.

"You should have sent me this month's rice." Zhou kept his word to Lian.

In terms of days, there should be a few more days, but this is a few days earlier and a few days late, which is nothing.

“…… When I go back, I will send someone to grind rice and flour, and I will send it tomorrow. "Even keep your word.

"If you go back now, send it to me." Zhou said, "Don't grind it." ”

"Don't send me milled rice and noodles in the future, you just send the sorghum over and someone at home grinds it." Zhou told Lian Shouxin, and then sneered and looked at Gu who was standing at the door.

The Gu Clan's Spirits shuddered, and suddenly felt as if they were in an ice cave.
