Chapter Forty-Nine: The Little Sparrow
"Mother, I have to go to the village in a while, and when I come back, you can find someone to help us repair the house, right?!"
"What are you going to do in the village?"
"There is still some silver for the fish sold, and I have to pay back what we owe to Dr. Ge first."
Xiaoxiao glanced at Qingqing and patted her shoulder,
"I'll go back and take a look at Niu Niu by the way, Cheng Dagui and Cheng are not there, and I don't know how he is."
"Well, you should go back and see him, after all, he is still a child, or take him over, and we won't miss his bite."
Aunt Wang also thought of the five-year-old child, he was the only one in the family, would she be scared to death?
Xiaoxiao didn't answer her mother-in-law's words, she didn't have much affection for Cheng Niuniu, don't look at Niuniu is only five years old, but she is very shrewd.
How much the Cheng family spoiled him, how much he hated the two sisters, because of Niu Niu, she and the little sister didn't know how many beatings they had received.
Now he is five years old, growing up with Cheng's side, they all say that three years old is big, seven years old is old, and I don't know if the roots of this cow are broken, so she has to go and see this time, if it is hopeless, then she will never waste her kindness and raise a white-eyed wolf by her side.
If he can change it, then she doesn't mind taking him over, as her mother-in-law said, the family is not bad for him to eat like this.
"Qingqing, you and your mother just stay at home and don't move, you can't appear in front of everyone now, wait until I think of a reason that can convince everyone."
Xiaoxiao got up and touched Qingqing's head, Qingqing's worries, she understood, so she decided to go on this trip.
"I know, sister, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here with Aunt Wang and waiting for you to come back."
Xiaoxiao left with a jar of wine, and her mother-in-law once said that their family still owed Dr. Ge a jar of wine, so this time she went to the town to buy a jar of wine and came back.
"Sister-in-law Ge, Doctor Ge."
"Xiaoxiao?"
"Well, sister-in-law Ge, my mother said that I borrowed your family's wine a while ago, and I haven't had a chance to return it to you, so I came here to return your wine this time."
Xiaoxiao put the wine jar on the ground, and took out another hundred and fifty yuan from her arms.
"This money is the money that Dr. Ge helped us see a doctor during this time, I don't know if this is enough."
"This, too, is too much."
Sister-in-law Ge doesn't need to count, there are so many copper coins, to say less a hundred, she still has this eyesight.
"Fifty dollars is enough, you should take back the excess."
Sister-in-law Ge counted fifty yuan and handed the rest to Xiaoxiao, she is not a living bodhisattva, she has to accept the money for medical treatment, as for the excess, she will not accept it.
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to fight for me, you can accept all this money, Dr. Ge's consultation fee, and medicine money, which of these don't cost money, we have been causing trouble for you all this time, my mother and I have been unhappy, so you can accept it quickly."
"I really don't need to, Xiaoxiao, we are all from the same village, and we should help each other."
"You just take it, sister-in-law, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Xiaoxiao put the money in Sister-in-law Ge's hand and turned around and ran away, if she kept letting go like this, she could let it go until dark.
Sister-in-law Ge entered the house with the money bag, and when Dr. Ge saw it, he raised his eyelids:
"Who is it?"
"Xiaoxiao, that girl, the money for medical treatment is here."
"Her family is rich?"
Dr. Ge was rarely curious, after all, just the day before yesterday, her family was still compact.
"Well, there should be one, you see this little half bag, she sent it."
Sister-in-law Ge shook the money bag in her hand, and according to the current weight, one hundred wen is still less.
"So much?"
Dr. Ge got up, snatched the money bag, poured it on the table, and counted it.
"One hundred and fifty wen, why did she give so much?"
Sister-in-law Ge was also stunned by so much money, one hundred and fifty wen, which is their income for two months.
There is nothing wrong with Dr. Ge being a doctor, but in this countryside, many people are reluctant to spend money to see a doctor when they are sick, and only when they have to take medicine can he earn some money back, sometimes he can only earn more than a dozen yuan a month.
"Say, where did they get the money?"
Sister-in-law Ge's eyes rolled, it has only been a few days of hard work, and she has so much money, why does she not believe it so much?
Could it be that Aunt Wang's family has money, and she deliberately hides it and doesn't give it to them, right?!
It's a shame that she still thinks Aunt Wang is pitiful.
"How do I know that?"
"You said that their family had money and deliberately didn't give it to us?"
Sister-in-law Ge still said what was in her heart, and she was really uncomfortable holding it in her heart.
"If they really deliberately didn't give it to us, why are they sending it here now? And gave so much more money. ”
Doctor Ge had an expression of whether you were stupid or not, and directly choked Sister-in-law Ge, as if it was indeed such a reason.
"So where did their family make their windfall?"
"I don't know, I don't know."
Dr. Ge got up and lay down on the bed again, just give him back his money, as for where the money came from, he really didn't care.
Sister-in-law Ge put away the copper plate on the table, suddenly remembered that there was a jar of wine outside, and hurriedly shouted:
"By the way, Lao Ge, there is still a jar of wine outside, and it is also said that it was returned to us."
"Why didn't you say it earlier."
Xiaoxiao walked to the door of Cheng Dagui's house, the door was open, and she saw the scene inside at a glance.
Cheng Niuniu lay on the ground, staring at the basket not far away, the basket was propped up on one side, and there seemed to be a rope in his hand, and two small sparrows had been drilled into the basket.
Is this, catching sparrows?
Xiaoxiao stood there and didn't move, watching Niu Niu's movements.
said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Niu Niu's hand moved, and the basket fell.
Niu Niu ran over happily, carefully lifted the basket a little bit, reached in with his little hand, grabbed a sparrow and came out, and immediately tied his feet with a rope.
"Niu Niu."
Cheng Niuniu had just tied up two little sparrows, and when he heard the sound, he was startled, turned his head and saw that it was his eldest sister, and he didn't understand what she was doing here:
"Big sister."
"What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to eat meat, so I caught two sparrows."
Niu Niu lowered his head and said, tangled for a moment, picked up the sparrow in his hand and handed it to Xiaoxiao:
"Eldest sister, do you eat?"
Xiaoxiao......
In the past, when Cheng was here, she didn't expect Niu Niu to be so kind and would give her and her little sister what she had to eat.
Now that Cheng and Cheng Dagui are gone, this nominal brother can understand, or how to say that this child is smart.
"How did you eat these two meals?"
"...... at the village chief's uncle's house"
