Chapter 0004 The Poor Calculate Poorly
After "negotiations", the white-handed lion's big opening was not fully realized, but it was also very fruitful.
The three harvests, in addition to one hundred and twenty yuan in cash, are handed over to the brigade every year for the retention money, which is borne by the Chen brothers in the first ten years.
Also, the Bai family's volunteer work was also completed by the Chen brothers in the first five years.
In black and white, the agreement between the two Bai and Chen families, and the contract for household production were all sent to the Bai family and handed over to Guo Cai'e, the nominal head of the household, for stamping and sealing.
The white hand is not yet an adult, and he can be the head of the household, but when it comes to the serious matter, he has to take action from his mother who is lying in bed.
The mother couldn't stop sighing and shedding tears, how could she not know the hard work and helplessness of her eldest son.
The three acres of paddy fields with sharp spouts became the Bai family's contracted fields.
There is also half an acre of seedling fields, and the old captain takes special care of it, just next to the Bai family's house, and it is convenient to go out, and it is convenient to work.
Contrary to his mother's sighing sighs, he was happy with his white hands, and he paid off the debt of more than eighty yuan at once, and he still had more than thirty yuan in cash on hand, which made him feel very rich.
However, in addition to the mother, the younger siblings are also counted behind the eldest brother.
They agreed that if Dad came back and learned about it, the eldest brother would inevitably be beaten again.
During dinner, the younger siblings chattered, causing them to shout loudly and laugh and scold.
Speaking of which, the younger brothers and sisters are very obedient, the eldest brother is their pillar, and the eldest brother is like a father, which is not said casually.
It's just that the names of the younger brothers and sisters, all of them are very strange, the same as the eldest brother's, and they really can't be named.
The second brother Bai Dang, this word is because he was born in the commune health center, and the wall clock of the health center rang properly.
Bai Dang was thirteen years old, was in his second year of junior high school, and his grades were a mess, and it is said that he never passed. He is not bad, he is comparable to his eldest brother, he can eat, and the amount of food is also catching up with his eldest brother, and his family also calls him a foodie.
The third brother white noodles, this noodle word, is the noodle noodle, because when he was born, his father was holding a handful of rice noodles in his hand.
Bai Mian is eleven years old, is in the fifth grade of primary school, reads better than his eldest brother and second brother, and from time to time puts awards on the broken wall of his home.
It's just that the person is as his name suggests, and the white-faced personality is too face-ty, and he looks like a girl. looks thin and doesn't pull a few, he is bullied a lot at school, and the eldest brother and second brother fight with others, eight or nine times out of ten it is for him.
The eldest sister white rice, firewood, rice, oil and salt rice, when she was born, her father was washing rice, and when she was inspired, her name came out of her mouth.
Bai Mi is nine years old and in the third grade of elementary school. The yellow-haired girl, like a little adult, learned to cook on the fire at the age of six, and is a good hand at housework.
Little sister Bai Xue, the best name among the brothers and sisters. On the night she was born, the snow was falling, and the mother named her, but the father did not object.
Bai Xue is seven years old, just in the first grade of primary school, good-looking, with two pigtails, and is very smart. In the words of the eldest brother, the younger sister belongs to the kind of girl who will not worry about marrying in the future.
After talking about the people of the Bai family, let's talk about the Bai family's room.
The Bai family lives in the house of Bai Zhenxing's stepfather, Tong Lao Wu.
Located at the west entrance of the village, there are four old and dilapidated bungalows, but there are front yards and back yards.
Outside the front yard is the main road that runs through the village, and the back yard is slightly smaller, close to the river. There are trees in the front yard, two pomegranates, two laurels, one ginkgo and one poplar. There are bamboos in the backyard, palm trees, and a date tree and a persimmon tree.
The house sits on the north and faces south, the first room in the east is where the parents live, the second room is half a miscellaneous room, and half is for the two girls.
The third room is also divided into two halves, the front half is the hall and the back third is the kitchen. The hall house is a place where the whole family eats, but because of my mother's limited mobility, I now eat in my mother's house.
The room at the west end is home to the brothers, with three board beds, the white hand and the third brother are next to each other, and the second brother is the closest to the door.
The wood-brick house, with gray tiles on top, is 100 years old and leaks when it rains, but it is still inhabitable.
I don't have to worry about the house with my white hands, because I don't have money, and it's useless to worry about it.
While eating, I pondered with my white hands how to spend the thirty yuan in my pocket and where to spend it.
Because since he became a self-made family, he has never been so rich.
What the white hand didn't expect was that the younger brothers and sisters were nagging, but they were actually worried about the money in his pocket.
The white hand knows, but he only cares about eating, and pretends not to know.
The second brother Bai Dang didn't dare to say it, for fear that the eldest brother would beat him, he kicked the third brother Bai Mian.
Bai Mian said: "Big brother, it's time to send it, it's time to send pocket money." ”
Silent with white hands.
The eldest sister Bai Mi tugged at the corner of the little sister Bai Xue's clothes.
Bai Xue said: "Big brother, I haven't paid pocket money for two months. ”
"Listen to the mother." With white hands grinning, the second and fourth children can be regarded as touching the pulse of his eldest brother, and the third and fifth children open their mouths, and it is difficult for him to resist.
The mother smiled and said, "Hands, you look at it." ”
He put down the dishes and chopsticks with his white hands, took out a handful of change from his pocket, and as soon as he put it on the table, eight hands came to grab it.
With a snort, he reached out with his white hand to beat his hand, especially the second brother's hand, which was pressed by him on the table.
The second brother shouted, "Big brother, why are you just beating me." ”
"Hehe, your hand warp."
The money was divided between his hands, and the pocket money was two dimes per person, and his younger brothers and sisters were still studying, and he gave two dimes each to buy school supplies.
"It's all about saving flowers. By the end of the year, you will have no pocket money. ”
The third brother, the eldest sister and the younger sister, after getting the money, immediately took out two dimes each and handed them over to their mother for safekeeping.
"Big brother, what are you going to do with the rest of the money?" The second brother asked, while stuffing his four dimes into his pocket, this guy spends money when he has it, and it is estimated that the four dimes will not stay in his pocket for three days.
Bai Yi glared at the second brother, "You don't need to worry about the family's money." He took out thirty yuan and handed it to his mother, "Mom, ten yuan is their tuition and miscellaneous fees for the next semester, another ten yuan is the money for you and them to make new clothes for the New Year, and ten yuan is our family's expenses for the New Year." ”
The mother nodded and put the money away.
The money in the pocket of the white hand is only five yuan, six corners and seven cents.
After dinner, the third brother and the eldest sister and the younger sister cleaned up the housework.
The second brother has long since disappeared.
The mother said to Bai Shou: "Hand, the firewood for the New Year, you have to prepare it early." ”
"Oops, I almost forgot about it."
"Hands, or ...... Why don't you go to your grandfather's house to get the point? Mother said softly.
The white hand did not open his mouth, and his face was not good. He was afraid of leaving his relatives because he was a "disaster star", and his grandparents didn't treat him well, and he never went to his grandparents' house again after he became sensible.
The mother sighed, "Forget it, let's think of another way." ”
The poor are poor, and there is still a month and a half before the New Year, and the New Year's plans must be made as early as possible.
Late rice into the warehouse, temporarily hungry, firewood, rice, oil and salt, firewood word head, how can you not prepare firewood.
Sitting on the threshold of the hall with white hands, facing the cold night wind, wondering, where to get firewood?
