Xiao Mingzhu was in pain, and then exclaimed: "Mother......"

"Are you going to Xiao Yu's house again? Didn't I tell you not to go to his house? That Xie Yuluo didn't come to you to trouble you but obediently sent it to the door, such a woman, if she gets entangled with you, will you still have the face to go out in the future? Aunt Xiao persuaded bitterly.

Xiao Mingzhu Nunu mouthed, and was a little surprised in her heart, why didn't Xie Yuluo tear her!

The handkerchief is embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, isn't the meaning straightforward enough?

According to her past temperament, didn't she scold people a long time ago?

Aunt Xiao Si didn't notice Xiao Mingzhu's gaffe, and continued to persuade: "Xiao Yu is already married, don't think about it, you are not young, and your mother has dragged the matchmaker to look at each other for you, and your mother will definitely choose a man who is a hundred times and a thousand times better than Xiao Yu for you!" ”

Xiao Mingzhu's brain exploded all at once.

Xiao Mingzhu stood up suddenly, her apricot eyes were as big as copper bells, and she yelled at Aunt Xiao indignantly: "I told you, I won't marry anyone, I just want Xiao Yu!" ”

"You damn girl, your wings are stiff, you don't even listen to your mother's words, Xiao Mingzhu ......"

Xiao Mingzhu rushed out of the kitchen, closed the door when she returned to the house, and closed the door of Xiao Si's chatter, she took out the handkerchief she secretly hidden, and saw the mandarin ducks playing in the water above, Xiao Mingzhu's tears fell like broken beads.

In the end, I couldn't hold back my crying, so I just lay on the table and gritted my teeth and cried.

The invective outside soon stopped, and inside, the girl lying on the table, her shoulders kept shaking, and she seemed to be very sad!

And here, Xiao Zixuan cooked a bowl of brown sugar water for Xie Yuluo, and put an egg in it, Xie Yuluo is not so uncomfortable now, and half of it is given to Xiao Zimeng.

In this age of material scarcity, brown sugar and eggs are the best supplements.

Xiao Zixuan was stunned when he saw that she had given half of it to Zimeng.

Xiao Zimeng didn't want to eat it, but was scolded by Xie Yuluo, and then obediently ate half a bowl of brown sugar water and half an egg, and his little face was red and red, and his mouth was a lot sweeter.

"Second brother, my sister-in-law said that there is no rice at home, so let you buy some rice." After speaking, he gave Xiao Zixuan a pocket of copper plates.

The copper plate is pocketed with clothes, and when it is reversed, it sounds very good.

Xiao Zixuan said: "How much is this?" ”

Xiao Zimeng shook his head: "Sister-in-law didn't count, so she grabbed all the copper plates for you." ”

"Boom", I'm afraid there are fifty or sixty.

Xie Yuluo is also bitter, I don't know how much rice costs a catty, and I don't know where to buy rice, it's also rare, she came through, and the memory of the original owner didn't write it down.

Xiao Zixuan looked at the copper plate in his hand, gritted his teeth, and finally carried the bag to Grandpa Xiao's house.

Grandpa Xiao's son Xiao Liang is specialized in grain and oil business in the town, he usually goes home to see the old man, he will bring some grain, oil, rice and noodles, Grandpa Xiao is fine at home, just open a small grain and oil shop, usually earn money to make cigarettes, and it is also convenient for people in the village.

Xiao Laohan was a little surprised when he saw that Xiao Zixuan was coming: "Child, why are you here?" ”

"Grandpa Xiao, I'll buy rice." Xiao Zixuan said.

Xiao Laohan was surprised: "Buy rice? What do you buy rice for? ”

Xiao Zixuan: "Eat!" ”

"Eat?" Xiao Laohan knew that Xiao Yu left five taels of silver for Xiao Zixuan before leaving, but when he left, it would be more than three months, and two people would have to eat five taels of silver for more than three months, and they had to be prepared not to get sick and not see the doctor during this time, otherwise, how would the five taels of silver last.

It's just that the children are greedy, and Xiao Laohan knows that eating wild vegetables all day long, there is no oil or salt in the stomach, and the children are also uncomfortable.

He pinned the cigarette pouch behind his waist and took the bag in Xiao Zixuan's hand: "How much to buy?" ”

"Four pounds!" Xiao Zixuan touched the copper plates in his arms, gritted his teeth and said.

Old man Xiao looked at Xiao Zixuan and entered the house with more than four catties.

Xiao Zixuan counted twenty copper plates to Xiao Laohan, and Xiao Laohan said: "This rice is precious, you and Zimeng still have to save some food." ”

Xiao Zixuan nodded, and went out with the rice bag on his back.

The copper plate in his arms only took a small half, and there was still more than half, and the walking was "jingling". Zimeng said that Xie Yuluo wanted to replace all these copper plates with rice.

After walking for a while, he turned back again, Xiao Laohan kept looking at him, and said puzzledly: "What's the matter, child?" ”

Xiao Zixuan frowned, walked back again, put down the rice bag, and muttered, "Grandpa Xiao, give me a few more catties!" ”

Until a few catties of rice were loaded, there were still six copper plates in my arms, and I could buy another catty! Xiao Zixuan gritted his teeth, didn't buy it, and secretly hid the copper plate in his arms.

Xiao Laohan saw that Xiao Zixuan had almost bought ten catties of rice this time, and he was a little distressed: "Child, your eldest brother wants you to eat well, and grandpa can understand, but your eldest brother has been busy for several months, and he has earned that bit of silver, plus the one I lent him, it is only twelve or three taels of silver, you have to save some money!" It's only February, and your eldest brother won't be back until May! ”

Xiao Zixuan gritted his teeth, he didn't know how to save some use.

The five taels of silver that his brother gave him, and he didn't have a copper plate, and the money to buy rice was all given by Xie Yuluo.

But Xie Yuluo's five taels of silver ......

Isn't it also given by the eldest brother? The eldest brother earned plus what he borrowed, and he gave him five taels, and gave five taels to Xie Yuluo, and on his own body, he had more than two taels of silver.

Two taels of silver, and he has to go outside for more than three months, Xiao Zixuan thinks about his daily food and current consumption, a flower is dozens of copper plates, and he feels ashamed!

He carried the rice on his back and returned home in the morning, and the house was very quiet, except for the bedding hanging outside and the books all over the floor.

The wind blows the book, and when it is opened, there is a "bang" sound of turning the book, which is nice and pleasant.

The books are not spread directly on the ground, but are dried on wooden boards.

When the planks were taken out, someone wiped them and wiped them, for fear of staining the book.

Xiao Zixuan was in a trance, Xiao Zimeng's laughter came from the room at this time, Xiao Zixuan was awakened, although he couldn't see the scene inside, but his sister's laughter woke up Xiao Zixuan.

Guilt for the eldest brother, but he can't treat his sister badly, tangled and guilty are like two vicious snakes, swimming around in his heart, the six copper plates in his arms are like a branding iron, and the hot Xiao Zixuan's ears are hot.

Secretly ignoring these six copper plates, Xie Yuluo would not have found out at all, but ......

The eldest brother told him many times that he can't be a man with a clear conscience, and he can't take it if it's not his own, and even Xiao Zimeng knows this truth now.
