174. Sugar gourd

Qinghe touched a few copper plates on his body, he is really poor now, and his small family has less than two taels of silver.

It's sad to think about it, the money that I have saved for more than ten years has been borrowed out by my own bad lady in such a daze, and this does not include the money that the lady usually makes up for.

After more than ten years of marrying his mother, he can't compare to a few words from his mother's family, and he completely treats him as nothing, can he not be sad?

The eldest brother and sister-in-law also persuaded him, and he also introspected himself, and understood that this matter was not the fault of all one person, but also that he didn't care enough about the lady, and he didn't find the difference between the lady at the first time, so it developed into the current situation.

Speaking of which, he is also at fault, and he also sees the lady's remorse these days, but he just can't pass the level in his heart.

After these days, when the next season's grain is planted, he will go to the county to find some small workers to do, and it will be easy for him to find some temporary work in the county if he is literate.

In fact, he and his brother are not unable to find a job in the county that they can do for a long time, and with the ability of their brothers to read for so many years, it is still easy to find a good job.

It's just that the family is really inseparable, and the most important thing is that the annual output of these dozens of acres of land is much more than what he and his brother can earn by going out to do small jobs.

Daddy is not a partial, she treats their brothers equally, and she speaks directly to her father and mother if she has any money, and her father never refuses.

Although the third brother has been studying, the family has less farm work, but the third brother is not idle sooner or later, and he has also won the reputation of Xiucai, which alone saves a lot of taxes and grain for the family.

In addition, the third brother's family has the smallest population and the least food, so if you calculate it seriously, the third brother still suffers.

Qinghe's chaotic thoughts were stopped by a stop from the girl, and it turned out that there was an old man selling sugar gourds in front of him.

"Grandpa, give me twenty strings of sugar gourds." Xiao Qi jumped out of the car and took a few steps to the old man selling sugar gourds.

"Ah, little girl, what do you say?" The old man thought that he was too old to hear it wrong, whose girl would ask for so many sugar gourds?

"I said I want twenty strings of sugar gourds, don't worry, grandpa, I have money." Xiao Qi repeated again.

"Little girl, where are the adults in your family? My sugar gourd is a penny for a string, and twenty strings will cost twenty pennies. The old man is also a sincere person, and he did not sell it immediately because the other party wanted more, but reminded him again and again.

This old man is quite cute, Xiao Qi showed a faint smile, "Old man, my family is there, you can rest assured that you will pack twenty strings." As he spoke, Xiao Qi pointed to the carriage behind him.

The old man followed the little girl's hand and saw the carriage beside him, on which were three men, two of whom looked at the little girl in front of him with a smile.

The old man was relieved, and the family knew about it, so that he was not afraid that this girl would be punished when she went back.

Then he wrapped twenty-one strings of sugar gourds with his hands and feet, handed them to the little girl beside him, took the twenty cents in the little girl's hand, and said happily: "Child, the grandfather you bought will give you a bunch." ”

Send one more string, this old man is quite good at business, Xiao Qi smiled more sincerely when he heard this, "Thank you, grandpa, next time I will buy grandpa's sugar gourd." ”

The old man smiled kindly, continued to carry the sugar gourd, and continued to shout and walked forward.

Xiao Qi, who jumped into the carriage, carefully placed the sugar gourd on the corner of the carriage, Qingshan looked at so many sugar gourds, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say: "Little sister, no matter how delicious this sugar gourd is, you can't buy so much, and if you eat too much, your teeth should fall." ”

"It's okay, there is one more person in the family, and the extra ones are left to the little nephew." As he spoke, he took out three strings from the many sugar gourds and handed them to the eldest brother, the second brother and Qiu Jing respectively.

Holding the sugar gourd in his hand, Qingshan Qinghe was moved, the sister is so intimate and so good, the brothers really didn't think that this sugar gourd still has their share.

Not only were they moved, but Qiu Jing was also stunned when he looked at the sugar gourd in his hand, and he even forgot to thank him.

Looking at the little girl beside me, an indescribable feeling suddenly emerged in my heart, hot and warm.

Qiu Jing took a look of complexity and bit down a sugar gourd, chewed it in his mouth, sweet and sour, this was the best thing he had eaten in the past few years.

The Qingshan brothers here are immersed in emotion, they have lived for more than 30 years, and to be honest, there are not many times to eat sugar gourds.

When I was a child, I ate a few times, but I haven't eaten it since I grew up, and I want to save it when I have a little money, after all, the child grows up day by day, and I can't rely on my father and mother for everything.

Looking at the sugar gourd in their hands, the brothers worked hard for a moment, reluctant to eat.

"Brother, what's the matter? Eat, and the eldest brother should block the road if he doesn't go here again. Xiao Qi took a string of sugar gourds and reminded the two brothers while eating.

The two sugar gourds moved the brothers so much, Xiao Qi who watched it wanted to laugh, and the brothers were too easy to satisfy.

Look at Qiu Duo's calmness, with a cold face, he has already eaten more than half of the string of sugar gourds.

The little sister's words brought the brothers back to their senses, and they all smiled at the sister dotingly, and the Qingshan brothers happily ate the sugar gourd in their hands while gently waving the horse whip in their hands, not to mention that the sugar gourd is still the original taste after not eating it for many years, it is really delicious.

Xiao Qi gnawed on the sugar gourd in his hand, while calculating how many copper plates were left in the bag, and after using up twenty wen, there should be more than twenty wen, and he didn't know what he could buy with these twenty wen.

A pair of big eyes followed the movement of the carriage around the bazaar, and it was always unpleasant not to spend the twenty-odd or so.

Wait, that was a fish seller just now, Xiao Qi, who was not sure, turned his head and looked behind him carefully, if he was really a fish seller, or was he alive in a big wooden basin?

It seems that I haven't eaten fish for a few months, not to mention that I really miss the taste of braised fish, boiled fish fillet, sauerkraut fish, etc.

"Big brother, stop it" Xiao Qi hurriedly shouted to stop, usually this fish seller is not easy to touch, and if you touch it, you can't miss it.

The fish is so hard to catch that there are only more fish sold during the winter New Year, when the fish is fatter and more expensive.

As the saying goes, there is more than enough every year, and only at this time of the New Year, everyone will be willing to buy a few fish, indicating a good omen for the coming year.

Aoyama, who reacted quickly, pulled the reins in his hand, and the carriage stopped immediately, in fact, Aoyama had been preparing in his heart, so he was able to stop the carriage in such a timely manner.

"Xiao Qi, what did you see?" Aoyama swept his eyes around and didn't find anything more attractive?

"Big brother, I saw that there was a fish sale, I didn't tell you, I want to go and see if it is sold out."

Saying that, Xiao Qi rewrapped the sugar gourd and put it on the carriage, jumped out of the carriage in an instant, and ran straight to the fish stall in the distance behind the carriage.

Seeing this, Qiu Jing swallowed the last sugar gourd, quickly jumped out of the carriage with Xiao Qi, and followed uneasily.

Hearing that there was Yu Qinghe, he couldn't sit still, "Big brother, I'll go and see it too." As he spoke, he got out of the carriage and quickly chased after the girl.

Castle peak:...... Can he say he wants to see it too? Looking at the reins in his hand, it was difficult to turn around if there were many people here, and Qingshan chewed the sugar gourd in his mouth as if he was angry.

When Qinghe arrived, Qiu Jing was standing in front of the fish stall, and the little sister was squatting down to observe the fish in the basin?
