Chapter 35: Asking for Eggs
Although Tian Lu's family made Tian Qingqing hate her, he had to come to her today - a child who was only seven years old, it was unrealistic to borrow money and things from anyone. And Hao Lanxin once instructed her: It's okay, don't go to the people in the village. In case people are superstitious, they go to give people diaphragms. Tian Qingqing knew that this was referring to her "broom star" life.
Only when she went to her hometown to open her mouth to her grandmother, she said that it was reasonable to go - first, it was her hometown, and she couldn't avoid it, and second, her grandmother owed them eggs.
Seventy or eighty eggs, one a day, only let Tian Qingqing eat them for seven days, and the Hu Banxian incident occurred. The remaining one was not given to them either.
If there were eggs at home, this morning, Tian Qingqing would not let the hungry Tian Miaomiao drink space water to solve the problem.
"Grandma, I'll get the eggs. Pick me up a scoop. ”
Tian Qingqing deliberately said it lightly, which means to tell Tian Lu: This egg was originally mine, we put it here with you, and I came to get it today.
"Eggs? Where do the eggs come from? Tian Lushi asked angrily.
"It's the one people gave me to nourish my body, a dime and a half a basket, and I only need to take one scoop." As he spoke, he put the scoop he brought in front of Tian Lu.
"You kid, that egg is what I usually skewered. When someone has something, do I have to pay it back? Tian Lushi finally understood Tian Qingqing's intentions, and said with a cold face.
"Grandma, I can't help but put eggs, and I don't know when something happens at home, isn't it a pity that you broke the eggs? You lend me a scoop first, and when I have it, I'll pay you back. That way, the eggs won't spoil. "Tian Qingqing is neither humble nor arrogant.
"Also? Look at your poor and sour appearance, you still paid me back? Tian Lushi pursed his lips with a look of contempt.
"Grandma, as the saying goes, people can't look good, and the sea can't fight. You know I can't get you yet?! Tian Qingqing deliberately said to the house. Because she heard movement in the house, and it was the voice of a child. It is estimated that the second aunt Tian Dongyun has not left yet. Anyway, I've already said too much in front of her, and it's okay to say it again. At least give her a shock and let her not underestimate the child.
Sure enough, Tian Lu's attitude was much more restrained, and his tone was no longer as contemptuous as just now: "What do you want eggs for a child?" ”
"Give it to my little sister." Tian Qingqing said justifiably: "She was hungry in the morning and cried, I wanted to make her an egg custard, but there were no eggs at home." We didn't have chickens at home, and we didn't have money to buy them, so we had to come up here to get them. ”
"Your mother called you?" Tian Lushi continued to ask. She didn't believe that a six- or seven-year-old girl would have such an eye, it must have been instructed by an adult.
"No, Mom doesn't know. I came on my own. It had nothing to do with my mom. Tian Qingqing saw that Tian Lu's suspicion was on her mother, and hurriedly defended: "My mother went to work, and my little sister is under my control, so I can only think about her." ”
"Shall I give it to you?" Tian Lu was a little gloating.
"If you don't give it to me, I'll cry. When the neighbors cried, I said that all the eggs that people gave me to nourish my body were put in you, and now I will take them. You don't give it, so I'm so angry that I cry. If that's the case, people will laugh at you for withholding the nourishment of your child's body. You say you're so old, it's worth it to make people point to your backbone for a few eggs? ”
"You damn girl, you...... Bury me. ”
"Grandma, do you want to give it or not?" Tian Qingqing was anxious. Tian Miaomiao followed Tian Youqiu, they didn't know if they were crying or not, and the two stinky boys didn't know if they would look at the children? What's more, she has other things to do: "If you don't give it, I'll cry." ”
After Tian Qingqing finished speaking, she pouted, and "Mom" cried.
"Mom, give her a few and tell her to go. What are you rambling about a broom star? Glued all the bad luck to me! ”
Tian Dongyun's vicious voice came from the room in the east room.
When Tian Lushi saw this, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly picked up Tian Qingqing's scoop, went into the east room and loaded eight eggs, handed them to Tian Qingqing, and said, "Let's go quickly, you are not welcome in this house." ”
Tian Qingqing took the scoop and said, "Grandma, where did you buy that incense?" ”
"What incense?" Tian Lushi asked impatiently.
"It's the incense you lit for me on the stove when you steamed dry food."
"If you don't sell it at this time, you have to wait until the end of the year to buy it at the market."
"That," Tian Qingqing glanced at the eggs in the scoop, and said, "Grandma, I borrowed these eight eggs from you." How about I exchange another egg for a handful of incense for you? As he spoke, he took out an egg from the scoop and handed it to Tian Lu.
"What do you want incense for?" Tian Lushi asked puzzled.
"When steaming dry food, I don't know how to cook, like you, light a stick of incense on the stove, the incense burns away, and the dry food is cooked. Grandma, isn't that what you taught me? Every time I burn a pot of dry food, don't you always light a stick of incense on the stove? ”
"You little dead girl, you're weird and thoughtful." Tian Lushi said, took the egg in Tian Qingqing's hand, went to the Xili room and took out a small handful of incense, and handed it to Tian Qingqing.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Tian Qingqing said, and said to the Dongli room: "Second aunt, I took all the bad luck away, you have nightmares at night, don't blame me." ”
After speaking, he took the scoop and incense, and trotted out of the door. Tian Dongyun's cursing voice came from behind her, and Tian Qingqing didn't pay attention to her, because she didn't have time.
Tian Qingqing came directly to the consignment point in the village.
"Auntie, I'll exchange eggs for your goods, okay?"
Tian Qingqing looked at a beautiful salesman with two big braids on the counter and said.
"Yes." The beautiful salesman leaned out of the counter and said to Tian Qingqing: "However, we have to pay for two dollars, I will buy your eggs first, and then use the money you sell eggs to pay." I'll give you cash as much as I have left. Kids, what are you going to buy? ”
"I ...... I'm going to buy three pencils, a piece of paper for writing, and half a pound of biscuits, how many eggs do you think I'll use? ”
"What, haven't you sold all the eggs you brought?" The salesman asked curiously.
"Not all sold. I only sold enough eggs to buy pencils, blank paper, and cookies. The rest has to be given to the little sister. Tian Qingqing explained.
Fresh! A little Lori who can't reach the counter, Baba brought it, but not all of it was sold, and she stood at the counter for several years, and it was the first time she encountered this kind of thing.
The salesman thought in his heart, but still took a few pencils in his hand, and patiently explained to Tian Qingqing: "We have a total of three pencils here, and the prices are different. This one has no color, two cents; This one has three points with color, this one with erasers, you see which one you want? ”
