Chapter 79: Serious
"Lao Lin, you wait a while before leaving! We'll clear the money, we'll give you what should be given to you, and it's okay to go back later! ”
"It's been so long, and it's not too late! Just wait for you to get it done! ”
As he spoke, he consciously found a stool and sat down.
A group of men gathered around, and naturally began to gossip about things in the fields. Niuniu was interested in this, so she also moved a small bench and leaned next to Grandpa Su and listened carefully.
As for the three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Su family, the amount of silver coins is counted head to head, and every hundred is strung with a rope and put away.
"I've got two hundred and thirteen here."
Wait for the three of them to finish counting everything they have, and report the quantities one by one.
"I'm three hundred and twenty-seven here."
"Just two hundred and sixty."
"Hmm~~"
There was an eerie silence...
"Mother, do you count?"
Zhou took the lead in breaking the embarrassment.
I don't even have an abacus at home, let alone someone who can count.
"Let's put one hanging and one hanging together, how many hangings are there in total?"
"There are seven hangings!"
The aunt put aside the serial number and counted it.
"There's still sixty left here, right?"
Grandma Su pointed to the largest pile of scattered questions, and easily put the other two small stacks together.
"Sixty-one, sixty-two...... Ninety-eight, ninety-nine... Osmanthus, bring the rope and thread it, there are exactly a hundred of them here! ”
"Now there are a total of eight hangings, take one for every four to Lao Lin, a total of two hangings!"
This is easy to calculate, and Grandma Su quickly took two out of it,
"Lao Lin, it's clear. Come, these are yours! Do you see if there's anything wrong? ”
"There is no mistake, there is no mistake! Then I'll go back! ”
What was said before, Grandpa Lin did not shirk. He took the money and stuffed it into his bosom, got up from the stool and said goodbye.
It's so late, my wife must be in a hurry! I'll have to listen to it again when I go back!
"Okay, boss, you send your Uncle Lin!"
"You don't need to send it, this village is so big, can I still lose it? And isn't there still a gangzi? Wash up early, it's time to go to bed! ”
Grandpa Lin motioned for the others to look at Niuniu, who was sitting next to Grandpa Su with a confused face and shaking her head.
"Hurry up and take Niu Niu in and go to sleep! Look at the child who is sleepy! ”
No wonder Grandma Su didn't make a sound when they were trapped by math problems just now, this math should be quite simple for him. I fell asleep!
It's such a mistake, Niuniu didn't know about it for a long time.
It wasn't until the Su family reproduced today's scene again that they suddenly realized, thinking of secretly teaching a few brothers the basic algorithms. Especially the eldest brother, he will be a businessman in the future, and he won't know how to settle accounts.
"Then I won't send you! Be careful on the road! ”
"Got it, got it!"
Grandpa Lin strode out and waved his hand indifferently.
"Come, Niuniu! Mother took you in and went to sleep! ”
Zhou didn't know if Niuniu listened or not, but subconsciously asked. It's as if you will scare your child with a single move, and you have to say hello before you can do it.
may have felt it subconsciously, Niuniu was very well-behaved throughout the process. It's also very cooperative, and it's not ambiguous to raise your arms and legs when you take off your clothes.
After being made clear and clear, he was stuffed into the quilt by Zhou. I rolled around again, found a comfortable position and rubbed it.
"Niuniu is asleep?"
Grandma Su stood at the door of the house, as if she had been waiting for a long time. Zhou was very puzzled, didn't Niuniu fall asleep at the beginning? Why do you ask that?
"Well, asleep! It's pretty good! ”
I couldn't help but add a compliment, and I didn't cry or make trouble. The whole process is smooth, and I save myself.
It's not like the two boys in my house when they were young, cleaning up for them before going to bed is like fighting. Especially when I'm sleepy, I can't even touch it, and when I touch it, I hum and chirp.
"It's all done! Come with me when you're done, and I'll tell you something! Go and wait for me in the hall! ”
Grandma Su successfully pulled Zhou's thoughts back and pushed into greater doubts.
What is this going to say? It feels more serious than ever, and it's not just me! Listen to what my mother means, there should be other people!
"Sister-in-law! You're there too! ”
Sure enough, there were other people, and the eldest aunt sat upright on the stool, which just confirmed Zhou's conjecture.
"Well, my mother called me over! I said I was going to call you, but she wouldn't let me go, so I had to go by myself. I don't know what's going on? ”
"I'm weird! I feel like my mother is still weird and serious today! ”
"Yes, yes, I feel it too!"
"What are you muttering about? Are you saying bad things about me? ”
Grandma Su pushed open the door with a small box and came in, already with a smile on her face.
This made the eldest aunt and Zhou even more confused, and they desperately remembered whether they had done something they shouldn't have done.
"Alright! Don't be nervous, I just want to discuss something with you today. It's a good thing, don't keep your face strained. Those who don't know think I'm a wicked mother-in-law! ”
Grandma Su was joking to ease the atmosphere, and she didn't mean to reprimand them. It's just that when I was thinking about things just now, my warm expression on weekdays became a little cold, and I was mistaken for serious.
"You're all coming and seeing!"
Grandma Su put down the small box she was holding, took out a small key and opened the lock tremblingly.
The trembling was not because of nervousness, but because the lock was too small. It's a big night again, the black light is blinding, and the old man's eyes are not very good, and it took him a long time to poke the keyhole.
"I should have discussed with you when I came back from the town last time, but then Brother Qing'er and their school went to school, and the family bought land, so it was delayed. I don't have a good memory, but I just remembered it again. ”
Finally, the box was opened, and the contents were revealed.
A few ingots of broken silver and some scattered copper plates, including the six strings of copper plates that are strung today. There was also a small cloth bag pressed at the bottom, which seemed to contain something, bulging.
"Mother, what are you doing with these?"
"Yes, mother! What are you doing here? ”
"It's nothing, look at you guys one by one. Don't you think I'm going to hand over the reins of the house, do you? Don't think it's so beautiful, that's impossible! I can't bear this white silver, old woman! ”
Grandma Su quipped, but it made the two of them feel relieved.
The old man is willing to help worry about the home and outside the home, in fact, it is the blessing of the young man, and I don't know how much trouble is saved!
Back then, life was hard, and it was all Grandma Su's calculations, and every penny was broken in half and spent, which made the Su family hungry.
And the two of them only need to cover their heads and work, and they never worry about this.
"That's good, so that the two of us have to worry and spend energy! Brother and sister, you said yes, right? ”
"Yes, mother, your housekeeper is in good hands, just let us hide for a while!"
"Well, you don't flatter me as an old woman! I asked you to come here, mainly to let you know about your family's finances and ask what you think! ”
"I didn't have any money saved in my family before, so I didn't mention it! Now that the seller has made some money, you have made a lot of money for the first flower. ”
"I, I just want you to know the money in and out of the house, and I have a rough number in my heart. If there's something going on, just tell me directly! ”
The two sisters understood that their mother-in-law was taking care of her emotions as a daughter-in-law.
After all, the power of the family is very important in the eyes of some people, and there are several families in the village who are making trouble about this matter.
My own family is different, my mother-in-law is fair and just to everyone. The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and they are all the same love. There is nothing to hide, everyone is clear, naturally there are no disputes, and they get along harmoniously.
"Our family has a small amount of savings now, so it's useless for me to keep this, so I'll give it to you!"
Grandma Su took out the cloth bag and opened it layer by layer, revealing the contents inside...
"Mother, this can't be helped!"
