"Get out of bed quickly, you can only sleep at night if you hide the money. You help me calculate first, I have 1,500 yuan a month, you should count it as 3,500, how much is this? ”

"Five thousand dollars!"

"There will be nine, ten, eleven, and twelve by the end of the year...... With four months left, how much money can this have? ”

"Twenty thousand dollars!"

Xu Sande received another slap on the back of the head, and Aunt Xu scolded: "Can't you speak quietly?!" ”

Xu Sande felt so helpless: "Mother, isn't this all over, you just said it before going to bed, take out the bonus for weekday expenses in a month, and save the rest of the money......"

"Okay, okay, hurry up and go to the ground, this money still has to be hidden well so that I can feel at ease."

Xu Sande was taken off the ground, but his home is such a big and small place, and it is the same wherever he hides. In the end, I had to lift the bed board, dig a pit under the bed, and bury the pickle jar containing the money in it.

This kind of thing is not only happening in Xu Sande's house, but also in the entire Wutian Village and Liushui North Branch, where the money is hidden is surprisingly consistent: under the bed.

The next day, all the laborers yawned and went up to the top of Xiaozhi Mountain.

Zhao Di went out to announce a major news for Zhao Xiang: "The construction site is suspended for a day off!" ”

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard the news, and even the aunt of the Xu family, who came over early in the morning to prepare breakfast, didn't understand what it meant.

"Zhao Di, what do you mean by Brother Xiang? Why did you stop working? Aunt Xu is now talking to Zhao Di and Zhao Xiang will say "your family", at first Zhao Di refuted two sentences, and then simply accepted such a statement.

Zhao Di said: "Don't worry, everyone! Mr. said, everyone has paid their wages, and there must be a lot of supplies to be replenished at home, which can be purchased in the city, so they will take a day off, and then they will have a day off every month. ”

"You girl didn't say it early, I came early in the morning to cook porridge......" Aunt Xu sneered.

"It's okay, let's go back after eating."

Aunt Xu said: "Your brother Xiang didn't tell me whether you want to cook lunch and dinner?" ”

Before Zhao Di could answer, He Defang was anxious first: "Mother-in-law Xu, you don't have that plan, the big guy has breakfast, lunch and dinner are solved at home, which owner have you seen resting and including meals, it's good to have breakfast." ”

Aunt Xu said: "Other owners are other owners, can you compare our brother Xiang with other owners?" ”

"Okay, okay, don't get cheap enough. Everyone hurried to eat, and after eating, they went to buy something they wanted. If you don't want to go to the house, you can repair the doors, windows and roofs, it's been dry for so long, don't even have a place to stand in the house when it rains heavily. ”

"What is cheap is not enough, when will I have to be cheap......" Aunt Xu said, but was pulled by Sandezi, and no one listened to her words at all, everyone rushed to eat free breakfast, so they had to go and get the dishes and chopsticks themselves, and they could save a few bowls of lunch.

The people soon dispersed, leaving only a few mothers-in-law who washed dishes, and Aunt Xu was among them. Originally, she didn't need to wash the dishes, so she stayed, and when she looked around, she saw Zhao Di watering the house, so she walked over: "Zhao Di, why didn't you bring the salt today?" ”

Zhao Di said: "I won't fire today, don't use salt, right?" ”

"If you don't open the fire, you won't open the fire, but Zhao Di, salt is also used for breakfast, of course, that's a little left over from yesterday, I just thought about whether to take some and put it first, and there will be salt tomorrow morning."

Zhao Di didn't know that Aunt Xu and a group of cooks had to take one or two bags back a day. Obviously, only one packet of salt is enough for a day's meal, but you have to receive twenty packets. She knew it, but she didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being gossiped - she only mentioned it a little last time, and Xu Sanniang said that she had only lived with Mr. Zhao for a few days, and even the villagers couldn't believe it.

Zhao Di entered the house in a huff and happened to meet Zhao Xiang.

"What's wrong, who bullied you?"

Zhao Di said: "No." ”

Seeing her push the door of the storage room, she came out with a few packets of salt: "What are you doing with salt?" Didn't you fire today? ”

"Aunt Xu said that she would prepare it for tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow morning? Is it better to use salt in the morning, noon and evening? ”

"Of course you don't care about this...... "Zhao Di said angrily, "Then a lot of salt is almost gone." ”

"So fast, I bought more than a thousand packs last time, how long has it been?" As he spoke, he pushed open the door of the storage room and looked at the corner of the wall, and there were only a few layers left in the small salt pile that was still there. ”

"You have to use five packs for breakfast, and you have to use ten packs for lunch and night. I need twenty-five packs a day, sir, they must have secretly taken them home, but I don't dare to say anything from the villagers, I'm sorry ......"

"Well, it's hard for you. I'll go out first, and you'll take it out in two minutes. ”

Zhao Xiang went out and said hello when he saw Aunt Xu: "Aunt Xu, today is not a holiday, didn't you go to the city to shop?" ”

"Shopping?"

"Didn't go to the city to buy anything? In the past, when I was paid, what I had to do was to rush into the city and buy all the daily necessities at once, but I was lazy, so I finally went out and bought everything, saving myself and running later. ”

Aunt Xu smiled: "You are not lazy, it is a rich life, which is different from our mud legs." We don't have anything to buy, now we have a package of food on weekdays, and there is nothing to buy. Sandezi just said that he was going to go to the city to go shopping, and I gave twenty yuan is too little, this child is so old and hasn't married a daughter-in-law, but the handseams are too thin to save money......"

Just as she was talking, Zhao Di came out, holding five packets of "refined iodized natural salt" in her hand. Aunt Xu hurriedly made two glances to let her avoid Zhao Xiang, but Zhao Di pretended not to understand, and Zhao Xiang saw it as soon as he turned around: "Zhao Di, I didn't see you when I just came out, have you been watered?" ”

"Not ...... yet"

"What are you doing with salt?"

"Aunt Xu said that she will use it for cooking tomorrow morning."

"Oh, it's okay, I won't have to use it tomorrow." Zhao Xiang said, "Zhaodi, you go and call Zhang Wen, you two water it a few more times, the sand is about to be watered, and the place where there is cement should also be watered." ”

Aunt Xu took the salt, and when she heard Zhao Xiang say this, her originally stiff face immediately stretched, and said with a smile: "Brother Xiang, you are busy first, and I will go back when I am ready." ”

Zhao Xiang stopped her: "Aunt Xu, I usually don't care too much about these trivial things, like the food I usually pack, how much rice, oil and salt do I consume in a day?" ”
