In the east room, Xia Meng and they haven't slept yet.

Seeing that her eldest son had lost weight like this, Xue Mingyue's heart hurt as much as a knife as a mother.

Xia Meng is also uncomfortable, although it is not her fault that she was impersonated, but she will feel that because of herself, everyone in her family will be anxious and affected.

Xia Xiao was even more sleepy, not only because of his eldest brother, but also because of his apprehension and hesitation after going out.

Xue Mingyue suddenly lowered her voice and said to Xia Meng: "Girl, if I wait for you to leave, let your sister-in-law take the child back to the mountain, your eldest brother will definitely not be able to go on like this again." ”

Xia Meng hurriedly squeezed her mother's side.

"Mom, what are you going to do? You're home alone, so it's reassuring. ”

Xue Mingyue touched Xia Meng's head: "What's not to worry about, I'm not young, I'm this age, I slept at night and plugged the door, who would dare to come?" It's fine during the day, which is fine with the former neighbors. ”

"Why don't you go to the capital with us?"

After Xia Meng said it, he immediately felt that this proposal seemed to be good, and his mother had never been to the capital, so he happened to be a tourist.

Xue Mingyue rejected it with a smile: "How much is the round-trip fare plus the cost?" I'm not going! You two go! Besides, my body can't do it, in case I get sick there, how expensive it is to see a doctor! ”

"Mom, the money ......"

Xia Meng knew that her mother was actually distressed about money, and she definitely didn't resist going to the capital to see it.

Xue Mingyue interrupted her: "Even if I have money, I won't go." Wait a minute, let's go play as a family, this time it's to do the dropout, I don't know how long it will take...... Stop talking, go to sleep. ”

Xia Meng also understood that the road ahead was unpredictable, and it was not wise to insist on bringing her mother.

The next morning, when Xia Meng got up, her mother and second brother got up earlier than her.

She was getting dressed and folding the quilt, and Xia Peng came to the East House with her hair that was slumbering from sleep.

also called Xue Mingyue, who was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, in.

Xue Mingyue wiped her hands on her apron: "What do you want to say?" I've been working a lot of work in the morning, and I'm still cooking porridge in the pot. ”

Xia Peng cleared his throat and asked, "Mom, is my little sister enough money for them to go to other places?" ”

Xia Meng thought something was wrong, so she continued to put the folded quilt into the kang cupboard with her hands and feet.

Xue Mingyue nodded: "It turned out that it was not enough. She glanced at Xia Meng, "Later, ......"

At this time, the door was opened, and Dai Hongye also came over with the child in his arms.

Xue Mingyue's words did not continue.

After all, the wild ginseng was obtained by the eldest son, and she was worried that if she told the truth, the eldest daughter-in-law would have thoughts in her heart.

If it was when the family was fine before, she would definitely give them some money, but now that her daughter is going to go far away, it is the time to use the money, and she doesn't want to make trouble.

Xia Meng also understood why her mother didn't say it.

Xia Peng asked anxiously: "What happened later?" Mom, if you don't have enough money to tell us, don't be embarrassed, my little sister and my second child are not familiar with life outside, and they can't live without money! ”

Dai Hongye intuitively felt that her mother-in-law said half of the words, there must be something in it, and she didn't react as fiercely as she heard her husband want to take money last night.

"Yes, Mom, you have to say it if you don't have enough money. Can we be big brothers and sisters-in-law like people of both sexes? ”

When Xue Mingyue saw her eldest daughter-in-law say this, she simply pushed the boat down the river: "Then I'll take the truth as the truth." If you want to talk about money, it must not be enough, today the second child still wants to take advantage of the time to go to the city to buy train tickets, by the way to the black market to see if you can exchange some food stamps, if you are rich, you can get some first. ”

Xia Meng saw that her mother should have done this to avoid them from asking about the reason why the money was enough, and she wanted to be more safe, so she cooperated silently.

Dai Hongye's heart was blocked, she just wanted to find out what she was hiding, but instead she was generalized and it was difficult to ride a tiger, but the words had already been spoken, and she could only break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

Xia Peng complained excitedly: "Mom, you can really do it!" You said that you were short of money, you squeaked, and you didn't say anything, I don't want to ask the head, do you still want my little sister and the second child to settle down? It's not like you usually save a little at home, who knows what to do when you're out of the house, it costs money to eat and live in the store, you don't give them an advance amount, they don't know anyone there, and they have no place to borrow money! Want to come back? ”

Xia Meng was almost laughed out loud by the eldest brother's extremely fast words.

She pursed her lips back and forth vigorously before she could barely control her smile.

"I'm not thinking about saving some flowers, and it's not easy for you to save some money." Xue Mingyue was not angry at all, but felt happy and relieved that the eldest son did not ignore his younger brothers and sisters because he had his own small family.

Xia Peng knew that his mother must have thought so: "It's not easy to save money, and I can't let my little sister and my second child not have money." Momiji, how much money did you bring down? ”

Dai Hongye endured the dissatisfaction and depression in his heart.

took out a handkerchief from his trouser pocket and opened it, and there were odds and pieces in it, about more than fifty yuan.

She couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart, fortunately, before she came over with the child, the money was divided into several places, otherwise the loss would have been even greater.

Xia Peng frowned, this amount of money was much less than he expected.

"Anyway, the salary will be paid in a few days, so let's take fifty."

The smile on Dai Hongye's face couldn't hold back: "Cheng, listen to you." ”

After giving the money, Dai Hongye was really afraid that he would leak his emotions, so he found a reason to go back to the West House with the child.

Xia Meng also cleaned up the kang, put on his shoes and put on his coat to go to the toilet.

Only the mother and son were left in the house, and Xue Mingyue was fiddling with the dozens of yuan.

In fact, she could see that her eldest daughter-in-law was unhappy.

Those who compare hearts to hearts can also understand.

"Boss, we won't ask for this money in vain, I'll pay you back when your sister and they come back from the capital."

Xia Peng suddenly became anxious, glared at him and said, "Mom, what are you talking about?" Are we still not a family? There is such a big event in the family, I didn't have the ability to help as a big brother, I was uncomfortable and depressed enough, I could pay some money, and you still shared it with me so clearly! ”

Xue Mingyue couldn't help laughing, patted her eldest son's shoulder, and whispered, "Okay." I'll tell you something, don't get excited! Don't shout it out loud, or you won't tell you. ”

Xia Peng's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded vigorously: "Okay, you can say it." ”

Xue Mingyue leaned closer to Xia Peng's ear and said, "The wild ginseng you got back for me before, you asked your little sister to take it to the city and sell it a few days ago, and it was sold for one hundred and fifteen!" ”

One hundred and fifty dollars!

Xia Peng is now raising his salary, and he has to get up early and climb the ice and snow for more than two months.

Xia Peng covered his mouth so that he didn't exclaim.

He lowered his voice in disbelief and asked, "How valuable is that thing?" ”
