Chapter 122: Dividing the Money
"Catch the thief!"
Mingxin came out of the Ma family's house and was heading to the south of the city, but he heard a woman behind him 'catch the thief', and before Mingxin could react, the person suspected of being a thief had passed by Mingxin's right and staggered Mingxin, and then a few more people followed and chased after him.
The thief at the front didn't run very fast, and was caught by the people behind him before he got out of 100 meters, fell to the ground, babbling in pain, and then followed by the woman who shouted 'catch the thief'. Mingxin stood on the side of the woman, unable to see the person's face clearly, but the angle of the hook at the corner of his mouth was very familiar, it was that person again!
"Dare to steal this girl's silver, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall." The woman who chased after her, looking like she was not afraid of heaven and earth, and reprimanded the thief.
Mingxin has never liked to cause trouble, so he quickly stayed away from her, and couldn't help but go faster. Before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by the woman who caught up with him on the street, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to.
"Ma Mingxin, what are you running, I won't eat you." The woman was uninteresting, and when she saw that people were avoiding her, she wanted to catch up, not only to catch up, but also to be polite in words.
"I... I'm not hiding, I'm busy." Ming Xin is even more cramped and uneasy, every time he meets her, it must be no good thing, and from that word onwards, it will be an endless disaster.
"What are you busy with, and you uncle is running errands, it's better to go shopping for calligraphy and painting. There are so many guys who don't need it, so you don't have to worry about making people laugh when you go on errands. "It's really a carefree piano girl, just do what you like when you have nothing to do.
Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Mingxin bypassed the woman, and hurried away, I didn't think that the woman chased after me again, Mingxin was a little puzzled, if it was usual, the woman would go to find other fun, today this is not to stop.
The woman who caught up squirmed, pulled Mingxin to trot for a while, leaned into an alley, and then stopped. Ming Xin has always been accustomed to her startled appearance, and she didn't feel anything, following the woman's perspective, looking out, but it was a handsome boy with a folding fan.
This is another nymphomaniac, I don't know which son, it's really unlucky. Mingxin didn't have the need to go down, he shook off the woman's hand and was about to walk away, and was pulled back again.
"What are you doing! I'm not as idle as you. "A good temper is as good as Mingxin, and it can't withstand the repeated tossing of women. The woman simply pulled the person further inside, and said a little unhappily, "My father disagrees, saying that he is unreliable." ”
Ming Xin pulled his sleeves back, straightened them out, and said, "I don't think he's suitable for you, don't toss, Uncle Zhang will think about it for you." ”
"You know what! A little kid. The woman got angry and turned away. Ming Xin saw that the people were gone, and he also went out of the alley and went straight to the south of the city.
The Ma family started from the north of the city, and most of the brothers settled in the north of the city, only the fourth child of the Ma family was an exception.
Mingxin walked through the streets and alleys all the way, just to go to the fourth uncle's house and send this year's post. The fourth aunt who opened the door was a woman who served the Buddha, and the perennial Buddha beads did not leave her hand, and when she saw that Ming Xin was coming, she only nodded slightly, and then went back to the house.
The fourth uncle is the only son of the third grandfather's family, and the uncle and Mingxin's family under the grandfather are not very close, the same clan, but there is always a sense of marginality, just because he is the only son, there is a share on the mountain, and there are many shops, which is much more generous than other families. Speaking of family property, when Mingxin's parents were still there, they were about the same as the fourth uncle's family, and even more, after the parents both went, they gave some to the sixth aunt and the seventh uncle's family, and the rest were sent to the uncle, so they were so weak.
Mingxin sat in the hall for a while, the fourth uncle was late, the teapot in his hand did not leave, and when he saw Mingxin waiting, he only nodded, and went back to the house.
After a while, after changing his homely clothes, the fourth uncle came to the hall, paced to the first place, sat down, took the dry tobacco on the side, took a puff, and said, "I sent you to deliver it this year." ”
Ming Xin got up and called 'Fourth Uncle', and went over to hand over the divided post. The fourth uncle didn't look at it, put it aside, and said to Ming Xin, "Have you been to your seventh uncle's house?" ”
"Uncle let someone else go." In fact, my sister didn't let me go, so Mingxin pushed it obediently, but I felt that it would not be appropriate to say these words to the fourth uncle, so I changed my words.
The fourth uncle didn't say anything more, and the drought smoked for a long time before he got up and took the spittoon and poured the ashes inside. Just when Mingxin was at a loss and was about to get up to say goodbye, his cousin Ma Jinshan came over to take a look, and when he saw Mingxin on the side, he asked Mingxin to go to her house.
Mingxin was tired of staying early, so he followed, who knew that there were a lot of sisters and sisters in the house, and they didn't know each other, so ashamed that Mingxin hurried to escape.
Since ancient times, the road has been narrow, and Mingxin wants to escape, but someone is coming in and just bumped into it.
The woman was hit by someone, and her forehead was again, so she hurriedly covered it, only looking at the pair of boots below, thinking it was a guy, so she opened her mouth to scold, ", which guy who doesn't open his eyes hit Bengu..." Before he finished speaking, the sisters in the back were already laughing.
When the woman saw that the posture was wrong, she let go of her hand, opened her eyes and looked, it turned out to be Ma Gongzi who she had just met, and she didn't have much of a good face, and said, "You said you want to be busy, is that why you came here?" ”
Mingxin already felt very ashamed, but when he saw this person again, he felt even more unlucky today, and he was about to go out with his forehead covered. The cousin in the back took a piece of cloth with a pattern, followed out, and said to Mingxin, "Why did you leave, I asked you to bring something to your sister here." ”
Without waiting for Mingxin to answer, a girl said first, "I'm ashamed, I hit the piano girl, I have to go back to burn incense, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless me." ”
The woman was so embarrassed when she entered the house that she reasoned with the troubled woman, "I don't like to hear what you say, and I'm not a demon, so why do I ask the Bodhisattva for your blessing." ”
The sisters who got together have never been used to it, and they didn't feel at ease, so they twisted into a ball in the house and fought with each other.
Mingxin didn't dare to look at it, so he picked up the cloth outside the house and fled.
This made the sisters in the house even happier.
Mingxin hugged the cloth and went all the way back to the north, not to the Ma family's house, but to his sister's house further north.
An An has always liked her uncle, and when she heard her mother say that her uncle was coming, she came out happily Then, after Mingxin handed the cloth to his sister, he picked up his little nephew and walked to the back room.
"This is what Sister Jinshan asked me to bring to you, she said that someone else gave it not long ago, so she brought you a horse."
Ming Yi took the cloth and looked at it for a while, then felt familiar again, and asked, "Who did she say?" Mingxin's eyes were a little evasive, and he whispered, "I'm afraid that if you say it, you're not happy." ”
Ming Yi was stunned for a moment, put away the cloth, and said with a smile, "It's time to make a decent dress for An An, the clothes at home are all small." When he came out, he looked at the sky again and said, "At this time, don't go back tonight, let's eat here." No matter what happens or not, you will always be my brother. ”
"Hmm." Mingxin hugged An An on the soft couch on the side, took the rattle to play with him, and asked Mingyi after a while, "Sister, that shop in our eastern suburbs, Uncle asked me to bring the contract back to you, do you say I will take it or not." ”
Ming Yi still had a smile on her face, but when she heard this, she immediately frowned, and said a little unhappily, "He really wants to send it over, let's break up this house first." ”
Mingxin thought that the previous incident was over, after all, even the cloth was collected, so he mentioned it like this, who knew that it still made his sister unhappy, so he muttered, "Then I won't take it, and let him go." ”
"Sister, brother-in-law is gone, when will you come back?" Mingxin took the orange on the table, peeled it, and fed it to An An to eat. Children are afraid of acid, they can't eat any sour, and they love the sweetness of oranges, and a petal of oranges is in their stomachs, but it is like being bloodthirsty on the tip of a knife, which is happy and uncomfortable.
"Whatever, he has to stay up until July to go out, and I don't know if he will come back this year. It's just right if you don't come back, and when the time comes, I will send this year's New Year's goods to his home, and An An and I won't have to suffer that sin. Mingyi spread out the cloth and looked at it, testing it with her hands, it was really good.
"Then go to my house for the New Year this year? It's a bit more lively over there. ”
Mingyi took the cloth, came over to sit on the soft couch, and peeled oranges to eat, "Go, it's time to have a lively time this year, An An hasn't seen the festival at home yet." ”
It was a test time, but I didn't expect my sister to respond so happily, Mingxin said happily, "Then I'll tell my uncle, they will definitely be very happy." ”
After a while, Ming Xin squirmed again and said, "Then the third brother, he should go too." ”
The oranges fed to An An suddenly stopped, and Ming Yi said angrily, "What, he went, can't we go?" He eats his, I eat mine, and he is not at the same table, and he is afraid that people will gossip. ”
"He has also eaten at the Lord's table for the past two years..." Mingxin said cautiously, if you don't talk about this now, I'm afraid that I won't be able to say it in the future, how many things have come out over the years for this old thing, and Mingxin has not seen it.
Mingyi really hasn't been to Ma's New Year's dinner for several years, and she doesn't even know about such a big thing, so she said after a long time, "Okay, then I'll just sit with you Sister Jinshan and them." ”
"But..." Ming Xin didn't say anything about his sister should sit at the main table, he just lowered his head and teased his nephew, and then he would find Brother Pinyuan to come up with an idea.
After dinner, Mingxin went back to the house, but saw Siming at the door, so he had to go up and say hello, but heard Siming say, "Uncle Ma asked you to start counting accounts with me tomorrow, do you know?" ”
"Hmmm..." Mingxin subconsciously responded, only to realize later that it was a point of account, and explained, "Uncle hasn't told me yet, should I go to Chashan to wait for you tomorrow?" ”
"Eastern suburbs, Uncle Ma said that the contract of the shop was given to you, you have to go and see it."
