32. Eccentricity
The flower sauce was sold in the town, and some villagers inquired about it, and knew that the wild rose sauce sold very well in Benxinzhai had been sold for a high price of 350 yuan a can, or it was rushed to buy.
According to this price calculation, the villagers thought that each jar of flower sauce Guo family would earn at least tens or even hundreds of Wen, and there would be more than one or two silver in a month, which was much better than digging food in the field.
The thoughts of her colleagues, through the look on her face, Guo Mianmian could guess a few points, she just smiled and ignored it. Seeing a few children salivating and staring at the candy and snacks on the ox cart, she casually took out a bag of peanut candy and opened it and divided two pieces for each child.
These children are usually forced to eat well, where is there such a snack as peanut candy? Earlier, they were shy and not easy to accept, or Guo Mianmian coaxed a few words, but they couldn't resist the sweet seduction of peanut candy, and finally happily took it under the acquiescence of the adults.
Even so, the children who get the candy are reluctant to eat the candy cube in one bite. While swallowing their saliva, they carefully broke off a small piece and put it in their mouths, and most of the rest was carefully put in their pockets, planning to hide it and eat it gradually later.
Guo Mianmian's behavior gave a colleague who was not familiar with her and was not very good at talking to her to have the courage, and groped and asked: "Guo Yahuan, are you going to the county seat?" I didn't see you yesterday. ā
"Yes, Second Aunt Li, go to the county seat with my second brother to do some errands." Guo Mianmian admitted it, but did not say what it was in detail.
"So...... It's strange to come and go back and forth. Second Aunt Li really wanted to inquire what was going on, but seeing that Guo Mianmian didn't want to say more, her three children still had other people's candy in their hands, so it was not good to ask.
But as soon as she thought of going back to her parents' house the day before yesterday, she heard from her mother's house that it was short and long, and Aunt Li was about to prompt, but she was interrupted by the Kunkun who rushed out: "Mother-"
Kun Kun called out happily, like a happy little swallow ran into the arms of his mother, his little arm hugged his mother's waist and said with great nostalgia: "Mother, it took you so long to return, Kun Kun thought that his mother didn't want Kun Kun anymore." ā
I haven't seen him for nearly two days, and I haven't seen it for so long in Kunkun's seal or for the first time with my mother, and it's not good to say it in my heart, and I didn't fall asleep until midnight last night.
Guo Mianmian gave the last piece of candy to the child who heard the news, and hugged Xiaodouding back with a light smile: "You are my mother's magic weapon, how can my mother not want you?" My mother also specially bought your favorite pastries, go, and go home with my mother to eat. ā
As she spoke, she nodded to Aunt Li and the others, then held a simple paper, ink, pen and inkstone in one hand, and led Kunkun to the yard with the other.
Seeing this, Second Aunt Li had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her mouth. Those short and long flights can be gone, and she insists on running to say it now, maybe people still think that she has no peace of mind, and deliberately touches the moldy head, or wait and see.
As soon as the brother and sister walked into the yard, they were surrounded by the children who had heard the news from the family, and they looked at the candy and snacks in the hands of the second uncle (father) expectantly, as if they had smelled the sweet fragrance, and swallowed their saliva involuntarily.
"You two are back, if you don't return home today, your father and I will go into the city overnight to find you." Mu, who was doing needlework in the house, heard the movement and walked out quickly, and saw that his children and offspring had returned safely, and his heart was finally stable.
"Mother, what about dad and eldest brother?" didn't see the rest of the people, Guo Mianmian asked suspiciously, there is very little work in the field very close, it's almost time to cook, and the family should be there.
"Alas, don't mention it, something happened to your old master's family, and your father and the boss went to help." Mu sighed, his face sublime revealing a few worries.
Li Zhuang and another group of Ziren formed a team of Ziren, who specially took over the construction of Hengyu, and usually rented the county seat. Because Li Zhuang is sturdy and hardworking, and his skills in building houses are good, he earns a lot of money every year, and last year with the help of other workers, he built a bright and sturdy big tiled house in the village, and married a beautiful girl from the neighboring village as his wife.
A few days ago, Li Zhuang's wife, who had been in the house for more than half a year, was diagnosed as pregnant, which made Li Zhuang, who took over the next big job, even more complacent, but who would have thought that luck would eventually lead to a catastrophe, so that the Li family would fall into a desperate situation of people dying and ruining their families.
Just yesterday, when Li Zhuang removed the old house for the shopkeeper, he didn't know what went wrong, and a main beam that had not had time to be removed rolled down from the two-zhang high roof, and coincidentally smashed on Li Zhuang who was demolishing the wall foundation.
This heavy smash not only broke Li Zhuang's legs, but his head was also smashed open in a large cave, and the blood flowed profusely. Fortunately, Li Zhuang's workers reacted immediately, and they were in the county seat, Li Zhuang was quickly sent to a good medical center, stopped the bleeding in real time, and saved a life.
Li Zhuang was so badly injured that he didn't know how long he would have to lie in the hospital. The doctor used all life-saving medicines, and in just two days, he emptied all the Li family's funds, and the next high price made the Li family hopeless, and the doctor could not guarantee that Li Zhuang's legs would be as good as ever.
If you are pitiful and disabled, you can no longer continue to work as a Ziren to support your family, and then Uncle Gen and his wife can still work in the field, but how long can they last with the little production in the field?
Uncle Gen's family is very popular in the village, and after hearing about this pitiful incident, many people think of a way for Uncle Gen. After some discussion, everyone equally decided to go to the county seat to find some compensation for the shopkeeper first, and first take care of Li Zhuang's injury, the person was injured while working for the shopkeeper, no matter what, the shopkeeper should not stay out of the matter, and there was no indication at all.
Therefore, early this morning, Guo Laoshi, Guo Lin and his son went to the county seat with the rest of the villagers to find the shopkeeper, and Yu and Liu's concubines had just gone to Li's house to assist and take care of Li Zhuang's pregnant wife and Li Zhuang's mother, who was sick because she was worried about her son.
Guo Mianmian is not very familiar with the old Genshu family, but he inherited the feelings of Uncle Lao Gen's previous assistance, and at first heard that Uncle Lao Gen's family fell into such a field overnight, and his heart was also a little painful, so he said to Mu's family: "Mother, no matter whether the shopkeeper is willing to compensate or not, our family can help Lao Genye." ā
The Mu family is a person of great affection, not to mention that Uncle Lao Gen has helped the Guo family a lot in the past, and even saved the life of his youngest son, so he said without hesitation: "That's natural, this morning my mother asked your father to bring 500 yuan to your old Genye, I heard that the rest of the people also gave more or less some, if we don't meet us, we will think of a way, we have to cure people!" ā
Guo Mianmian knew that after her father gave her the box last time, she didn't have much money left on hand, and she was afraid that the five hundred wen was the only one. Seeing that the children were all surrounding the second brother to eat, they didn't notice this, so they whispered about the three hundred taels of silver, and easily told the story of what they had gotten again.
Mu Shi was stunned, looking at her daughter's daughter with her mouth open and closed, she said incoherently: "Small, Mianmian, you, what do you say, my mother's ears don't seem to be very good, why, why did I hear that you went out and earned back three or three hundred taels of silver?" ā
Guo Mianmian couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to coax a few children to the yard with candy, and asked the second brother to take out the silver ticket and another fifty taels of silver, and put them in front of Mu's eyes one by one: "Mother, do you know what your daughter is talking about now?" ā
Mu had never seen a silver ticket, nor did he understand a silver ticket, but he had seen a silver ingot of ten taels and one of them. Looking at the five silver ingots of the same color and size, she rubbed her eyes and thought it was like a dream.
The brother and sister were amused by their mother's reaction, and Guo Lin couldn't help but say: "Mother, these silver ingots are real, I and Ye Er will go to the money bank to redeem it in person, you can rest assured!" ā
Mu came back to his senses, and slapped his son on the forehead to cover up his embarrassment: "You dare to say this dead?" The big family is polite, and they coax you away with a few words, and you are not afraid of tiring your sister. ā
Guo Lin almost knelt down for his mother who was "out of right and wrong", covered her forehead that was reddened and said aggrievedly: "Mother, it was Ye'er who was coaxed to take your son with me, why did you fall down when you came to it, this heart is really squeaky!" ā
Mu Shi pretended to be angry, raised his hand and scolded: "You rabbit cub dare to arrange a mother? My sister is younger than you, and when things come to your head, you don't have anything to blame when you are a brother, who do you blame? ā
Guo Lin: "......"
If the son and mother didn't have similar eyebrows and eyes, now Guo Lin would definitely question that he picked them up! /ļ¼ćoćļ¼/~
Seeing that the second brother was taking the blame for himself, Guo Mianmian covered her mouth and snickered very unconventionally, but before she was complacent, Mu's artillery fire fell on her: "There are other you, dare to laugh at your second brother?" Next time, let my mother know that you are going with someone at will, and my mother will be the first to beat you. ā
Mu Shi stretched out his finger and tapped his daughter's forehead fiercely, and admonished with a dark face.
Receiving three hundred taels of silver is said to be a merit, but what if that person is not at ease? Mu was not happy at all that his daughter had taken a risk for the money.
Guo Mianmian nodded hurriedly, raised his right hand and said solemnly: "Mother, you can rest assured that the next time you encounter such a thing, your daughter will definitely return to report to you first, and if you don't agree, your daughter will definitely not go." ā
After listening to his daughter's assurance, Mu was freehanded, and then scolded Guo Lin's son as a dog with a black face.
It didn't take long for the Yu family and the Liu family, who went to Uncle Lao Gen's house to assist, returned, and learned that the sister-in-law had earned back three hundred taels of silver after a trip, and the reaction was more exaggerated than the Mu family.
Later, when it came to the bad feelings of Uncle Gen's family, this strong joy was diluted a little, and several people began to plan for dinner and wait for Guo Laoshi's father and son to return.
From the cooked rice to the cold rice, the Guo family father and son did not return. It wasn't until a few people couldn't stay up and went to sleep that there was a knock on the courtyard door at midnight. The father and son returned with a dull body, but the news of their return made everyone's hearts sink down, and there was no longer a trace of sleep.
Two zhang is six meters six at the mercy of the house, most of the ancient houses are one floor, the height is a little higher than the single-storey building we live in now, the ridge of the very high place is at least twice as high as the main body of Hengyu, so the height of the main beam is at the mercy of two zhang, roll down and hit people, it will really kill people, the main beam is very heavy and said, people who have lived or seen Tunzi tile houses should know.
