Chapter Ninety-Three: Just Know the Blind Toss!
Before Shen Shi arrived (three o'clock in the afternoon), the ox cart stopped in front of the gate of Ye's house, Ye Ming paid the car and jumped out of the ox cart.
Carrying a basket full of things, carrying the rest of the one, he turned his head to his sister and said, "I'll call Xing'er, you wait here." ”
Ye Hao nodded obediently, she bought a lot of things this time, but the more important ones, such as cloth, grain and other things, were all packed in the back basket.
As long as they are careful and fast, even if they see that they have bought something, they will definitely not be able to see what is in the basket.
As long as they don't see it exactly, they can only guess in their hearts, and then everything will be easy to say.
As for the ox carts, they are all porcelain jars, clay pots, wine jars and other things that are large in size and not easy to hide.
Well, and meat, glancing at the piece of meat on the side of the ox cart, she added another sentence in her heart.
Li, who was sitting in the courtyard knocking sunflower seeds, saw the ox cart outside the door, clapped his hands and stood up from the stool, and came to the side of the ox cart in a few steps.
His eyes swept over the things on the ox cart and said in surprise: "Oh, girl, are you rich?" How do you buy so many old things? ”
"Yo, what about the meat? So much meat, huh? Slip ......"
At the end of the words, Li sucked his saliva, looked at the flesh's eyes, and almost let out light.
Ye Hao turned sideways, blocked the other party's gaze, and said lightly: "I didn't get rich." ”
Li Shi looked incredulous: "How is it possible?" If you don't get rich, where did you get the money to buy these? ”
"Girl, if you really have any way to make a fortune, think about your third aunt and me, I have helped you say a lot of good things before?"
Ye Hao glanced at Li's family, well, the third aunt is right, even the few times she helped talk before, it was useless.
But this can't deny the other party's intentions, if it weren't for the third aunt to help divert the grandmother's anger, the pressure on their family would undoubtedly be a little greater.
Thinking of this, she shook her head: "I really didn't get rich, the money to buy things was borrowed, and the third aunt also knew that we had just split up, and the family lacked everything." ”
"Really?" Li asked again.
"Not really." Ye Hao replied in the affirmative.
Seeing that the Li family was instantly deflated, Ye Hao thought for a while and said, "Although I don't have a way to make money now, maybe there will be one later." ”
Hmm, Li's eyes immediately lit up again: "Really? ”
"Seriously."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." Li nodded again and again, his face full of joy.
This reaction surprised Ye Hao, did the third aunt believe her so much?
"But what are you buying so many porcelain jars for? Improper eating and drinking? Lee's eyes swept over the various jars on the ox cart, his face full of curiosity.
"I'm useful!" Seeing her sister and brother walking out of the door, Ye Hao replied lightly.
Ignoring the third aunt's puzzled look, together with her brothers and sisters, she quickly moved the things on the ox cart back to the house.
In the main room, Zhao Shi, who was leaning by the window and saw this scene, had a gloomy face: "Where did that dead girl get the money, dare to buy things like this?" ”
Ma Shi on the side pursed his lips, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes: "Mother, I saw that the Wang family brought a basket of things into the second house yesterday, I can't say, the money to buy things is what the girl asked to borrow her." ”
Hmph, this Wang family is really, why is it bad to have money, and it is actually lent to the second room family for nothing?
Lend to them, will they have the money to pay back?
"Hmph, I don't know how to save some money if I have money, so I know what to do with so many jars? I don't care, they've spent all the money, don't even want to ask me if they run out of money! ”
Zhao finished muttering with a straight face, and closed the window with a snap.
………….
In the second room, Xing looked at the large pile of things piled on the table and on the ground.
He said with a distressed face: "Zhen'er, why did you buy so many things?" How much money does this cost? ”
"There is only so much silver at home, if it is all spent, what is really the matter, where can I get the silver?"
She was reluctant to criticize her daughter, but she felt sorry for the money spent.
Ye Hao smiled and grabbed Xing's arm, pointed to the cloth on the table and said, "Mother, everything I bought is useful, and I didn't spend money indiscriminately." ”
"It's getting colder, and my brother doesn't dare to go out of the house these days, and these cloths can make thicker clothes for my brother and brother."
"And my sister, she's so big that she hasn't worn new clothes yet."
"You won't need all this cotton and cloth." Xing was still distressed.
"If the cloth can't be used up, add some cotton to make a bed quilt, Saburo can't sleep well at night because of the cold these days."
Seeing what Xing wanted to say again, he hurriedly pointed to the black rice and red beans on the table and said, "These are for my younger brother to eat, although our family can't afford to invite Lang Zhong now." ”
"But you can replenish your brother's body first, at least make his body better, and when you have money to ask Lang Zhong to take medicine in the future, you can get better faster."
This is also one of the purposes of Ye Hao's trip to the town this time, to buy some ingredients and some warm medicinal herbs.
Although she unexpectedly got some money before, she couldn't take it out to her brother for the time being because she couldn't explain the source.
But this does not prevent her from feeding her brother first, she is confident that it will not be long before she can save enough money to hire Langzhong for her younger brother.
Xing's eyes were red, and he glanced at his thin son on the kang, who seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and patted his daughter's hand: "Okay, it's time to think about this." ”
After saying this, she looked down at the porcelain jar and wine jar on the ground again: "Then what are these for?" ”
Ye Hao smiled brightly: "Use it to make money!" ”
.............
This night, Ye Hao's family had a meal, which, in Xing's opinion, was extraordinarily rich, and could even be said to be a luxurious meal.
Because when the iron pot was borrowed, the sky outside was already dark, so Xing took advantage of the remaining daylight to use the noodles that had been lived in advance to order a pot full of noodles.
There are also a lot of shredded meat, cabbage, and chopped green onions added to the pot, although only the salt seasoning is added, but it is still very fragrant.
Xing used a small amount of soybean oil to stir-fry a plate of winter melon and carrots.
With these dishes, everyone ate a big bowl full of them!
While eating, Xing Shi felt distressed, and kept chattering: "For today's meal, I used nearly two catties of white noodles, it's too expensive, it's really too expensive...."
Ye Hao glanced at her mother, and said in her heart, I didn't see you eat less.
With a smile on the corner of her lips, she quietly looked at each other with her brother and younger siblings, such a mother is really cute.
..............
On the second day, Xing's got up from the kang early, and she was like this for the past two days, in order to be able to cook the meal before her daughter and son woke up.
Of course, it's also to stagger the cooking time with the main house.
She quickly brushed the iron pot, looked at the black rice on the edge of the stove and hesitated for a few breaths, stretched out her hand and grabbed several handfuls of it, and then took some chestnut rice.
After that, he took the red beans, wolfberries, red dates and other things that his daughter bought yesterday, mixed them together, lit firewood, and cooked porridge.
When the porridge was almost cooked, she beat two eggs in it with a distressed face.
muttered: "What a waste, I don't think there is any family in the village that dares to eat like this early in the morning, or is it at such a leisurely time?" ”
"Zhen'er, this girl is good anywhere, but she doesn't know how to live, alas, what kind of family should she find in the future to be able to afford her."
Having said that, she did what her daughter said last night, because what her daughter said yesterday scared her.
"Mother, over the years, my brother and sister have not even eaten a good meal, and their health is bad, if they don't make up for it now, they will probably have a short life in the future."
"Eat something good every day, it doesn't cost much silver, and you can still raise your body well, it's better than saving money on weekdays, and if you damage your body, it's better to ask Lang Zhong to spend money on medicine."
It was because of these few words that she changed her temperament of saving and made such a few good meals last night and this morning.
After Ye Hao got up and washed, she saw Wen on the stove and the thick porridge in the clay pot, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
Yes, yes, it seems that my mother listened to her own words.
