After Xiao Ju lay on the kang in her room, she did not close her eyes and fall asleep as usual, but closed her eyes and let the air flow in her body walk along the meridian lines in her body, and unconsciously, she fell into a deep sleep, what she didn't know was that when she fell asleep, the air flow in her body did not stop advancing, it was still circulating in her body in an orderly manner, and with the continuous circulation, the air was slowly getting thicker.

Early the next morning, as soon as Xiao Ju opened her eyes, she only felt that the whole person was very refreshed, so she quickly dressed her hands and feet and went out of the room. Xiao Ju Niang got up before dawn and made corn paste, because Hu Daring wanted to go out early to find a job, after all, there was such a big family to eat, and he still had a certain amount of pressure.

Xiao Ju Niang was sitting on the kang in the hall at this time, helping Hu boldly sew and mend his clothes! Xiao Ju saw the patched clothes in her mother's hand, and couldn't help frowning: "Mother, why don't we go and pull some coarse cloth back and make some quilts?" These are all broken in the house1"

"You little girl! There are so many places to spend money at home! And because of the drought, the grain is getting more and more expensive, and the jar of silver dollars you dug up bought this yard, and there shouldn't be much left! These clothes can be mended!" Xiao Ju Niang said with a somewhat reproachful tone.

When Xiao Ju heard this, although she was a little unhappy in her heart, she thought about it later, now is an eventful time, and if the family looks broken and poor, there is no need to worry about being targeted by people who eat big households after a while, but it is safe, so she didn't say anything!

"Xiaoju, there is a paste left for you and Zhuang Zhuang in the pot! Your dad and I have already eaten!" Xiao Ju Niang lowered her head and walked the line while flying the needle.

"Daddy is out?" Xiao Ju asked casually as she walked towards the kitchen.

He said, "I want to make money to buy you white flour to make bread to eat!" So I went out early in the morning! Xiao Ju Niang pouted.

"Mother, let's dig up the two pieces of land against the wall in the front yard and plant some winter cabbage, right? In this way, we will have cabbage to eat in winter! Xiao Ju smiled and came to her mother with a smile and said a little coquettishly.

"You Nizi! Yesterday, when my mother went to the public well on the street to fetch water, the long queue was scared to death! Also, I heard that the water in that well is not as full as in previous years, and it looks like it is about to bottom out! You want to grow cabbage in the yard, where will the water come from? Xiao Ju Niang glanced at Xiao Ju with some disgust.

"Mother, have you forgotten? I can change things and I can change things back! Then I will go to the well and get some water, so that I can grow winter cabbage. Xiao Ju rolled her eyes and took out this reason again.

When Xiao Ju Niang heard this, her eyes lit up, thinking that this was a good idea! After deciding, Xiaoju will be responsible for the water at home. At the same time, he got up from the kang of the hall, found a hoe from the side room next to the kitchen, which is now actually a miscellaneous house, and went to the front yard to dig the ground.

By the time Xiaoju and Niang dug up the two small pieces of land in the front yard, knocked the soil fine, and divided the rows, it was almost noon. Zhuang Zhuang got up together, and after eating the mush, he has been helping in the front yard, but not for his help, Xiaoju can only smile bitterly, a person who can be knocked down by the lump from time to time, how much can he help?

Xiao Ju and Niang looked at the two small plots of land that they had made, and they seemed to have seen the chubby, large and large winter cabbage growing on them, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.

After returning to the kitchen to wash his hands and face, Xiao Ju said: "Mother, I'll cook lunch, you go and help Dad mend his clothes, so that he doesn't have to wear them when he gets them!" ”

Xiao Ju Niang wanted to make Chinese food, but when she heard Xiao Ju's words, she felt that it was a reason, not to mention that the food made by Xiao Ju tasted better than what she made, so she didn't insist; But he was afraid that Zhuang Zhuang would make trouble in the kitchen, so he wanted to take him to the hall to play, but Zhuang Zhuang refused to live or die, and only shouted that he wanted to watch Sister A make delicious cakes in the kitchen.

In the end, she couldn't, so she had to go back to the hall by herself. As soon as Zhuang Zhuang waited for his mother to leave, he had already obediently done it on a small bench in the kitchen according to Xiaoju's rules, and watched Xiaoju make cakes intently.

Xiaoju plans to make egg tacos at noon today. She took some cornmeal and white flour from the space, then took a few eggs out and beat them into the flour mixture, stirring them carefully.

After the flour was stirred, Xiaoju spread them into a thin slice in the pan, and soon, a large piece of fragrant omelet was successfully fried. Xiao Ju fried six large egg pancakes and cut them into small slices with a knife and put them in a basin.

Zhuang Zhuang smelled the aroma of the bread, and he was already hungry. At this time, Xiao Ju had already fried all the cakes, and walked towards the hall with the basin containing the cakes, and followed behind busily.

When Xiao Ju took the pot of fragrant egg cakes to the hall and put them on the kang table, Xiao Ju Niang couldn't help but drool. She eagerly picked up a piece of cake, took a bite and said, "Xiaoju, how can your fried tortillas have the fragrance of eggs and wheat?" ”

"I don't know!" Xiao Ju smiled. And glanced at Zhuang Zhuang, put a finger on his mouth and gestured, Zhuang Zhuang nodded while biting the cake on his hand, indicating that he understood. The family eats fragrant omelets, and a warmth and happiness permeate this room.

After eating Chinese food, Xiao Ju took out two hundred silver dollars from the space, wrapped it in rags, and handed it to Xiao Ju Niang; And said: "Mother, the owner of the house will come over to sign the contract for the sale of the house, and these silver dollars will be given to you!" ”

Xiao Ju Niang has never taken so many silver dollars in her life, took the heavy bag, with a reluctant expression on her face, Xiao Ju was afraid that Xiao Ju Niang would regret it, and said busily: "Mother, if this yard is not a famine, this price can't be bought!" ”

Xiao Ju Niang thought about it, thinking that this blue brick courtyard would really belong to her after today! So there is no longer any entanglement! What's more, she also likes to live in this bright tiled house, and she doesn't like to live in the black cave of Huzhuang at all, plus when the famine years pass, this small courtyard will definitely be sold for four hundred silver dollars, and the reluctance in her heart to this bag of silver dollars will soon disappear.

The owner was very punctual, and at about two o'clock in the afternoon, she knocked on the front door of the small courtyard with two middle-aged men, and when she came in, she introduced to Xiao Juniang: "Big sister, these two big brothers I invited to be middle-aged people are neighbors!" They are not bad people, and they can also ask them for help if they have something at home in the future! ”

Xiao Ju Niang put these people on the kang and said with a smile: "Then the two big brothers will have to take care of it from now on!" I've just entered the city and I'm not familiar with anything! The two middle-aged men just smiled and didn't say much.

The owner of the house, Ma Li, took out the contract for the sale of the house and let Xiao Ju Niang see it, but Xiao Ju Niang couldn't read, Xiao Ju was afraid that her mother would be deceived, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, let me see, let me see!" I wonder what this word looks like! ”

Xiao Ju Niang was not suspicious, since she knew that her daughter had a spell given by the gods and dug up the jar of silver dollars, she subconsciously followed her in everything, and didn't want her to be a little wronged, so Xiao Ju said this, she casually handed the contract to Xiao Ju.

Xiao Ju took it and saw that it was a traditional character written vertically, and she understood the meaning after half guessing and half reading. I didn't deceive them. So let Xiao Ju Niang press her handprint on it and draw a circle. The owner of the house and the two men she brought with her turned out to be literate, and not only did they press their handprints, but also signed their names.

In the end, after the owner took out the deed and handed it to Xiao Ju Niang, Xiao Ju Niang took out the bag of silver dollars and handed it to the owner.

After the owner counted it carefully, he said to Xiao Juniang with a smile: "Big sister, then I won't bother you!" I have to rush to buy some food and noodles and go back, I don't know if the family is out of cooking! ”

After the three of them left, Xiao Ju Niang and Xiao Ju looked at the contract and the house deed for a while, and in the end, Xiao Ju Niang carefully handed over these two crucial pieces of paper to Xiao Ju, and said, "Ju'er, this thing will be handed over to you for safekeeping!" You don't have it! ”

Xiao Ju didn't shirk either, this thing was the safest thing to put in her space. In front of Xiao Ju Niang, she moved the two pieces of paper worth two hundred silver dollars to a dresser in the space bedroom. I plan to wait until I enter the space at night, so I will find a small box to put it in and put it away.

Because of the end of a major event, Xiao Ju's heart relaxed, this relaxation, I immediately thought of a problem, the door locks at home are all used by the previous owner, and they don't know anything about the former owner, not to mention that it will become more and more chaotic after a while, no matter how kind a person is, under the persecution of hunger, he will also do crimes that surprise the world.

The more Xiao Ju thought about it, the more uneasy she became, she saw that her mother didn't have a sense of crisis and nested on the kang to help her father sew and mend clothes, and sighed that she was really worried about her life. So he shouted, "Mother, let's go out and buy some locks and come back!" ”

"What locks to buy? You don't need it at home! Xiao Ju Niang was a little strange, and she did the work in her hands while asking, without even raising her head.

"Mother, those locks belong to the old owner, now that we have bought this house, of course we have to replace it, otherwise if the other party still has a key in his hand, wouldn't it be unsafe at home?" Xiaoju was a little unhappy, and Yiniang was a smarter person than her father, and now it seems that she is a little stronger than her father.

"Don't you? How can people be so bad? Xiao Ju Niang finally raised her head, with a hint of hesitation on her face.

"Mother, it's a famine year! What won't happen in a famine year? Xiao Ju induced.

"That's right, I heard your grandparents say that when they were young, they also encountered a disaster year, and there was a cannibalism at that time!" Xiao Ju Niang just began to pay attention to it, and she didn't have the heart to mend her clothes, so she grabbed the strong man who was playing on the kang and was about to go out.

"Alas, why do so many places cost money? It seems that I will also go out to look for a job in two days, and you and Zhuang Zhuang will have to guard their homes well! Xiao Juniang sighed and pulled Zhuang Zhuang out of the door.

Xiao Ju followed behind her mother and comforted: "Mother, we only need to buy two big locks, one to replace the one on the courtyard door, and the other to replace the hall!" You don't have to move any other places! It doesn't cost much either! ”

"It's still my mother's Xiaoju who is smart!" Xiao Ju Niang praised, this lady went out of the small courtyard gate and went to the street to find a place to sell locks.
