Liuda Lu usually brings his own carriage to help people pull feet and transport goods in the town, and sometimes he has to come back once in three or four days when he encounters a little longer distance. This time, I just went on a long journey, so I don't know anything about my family.

Liu Dalu untied the carriage and pulled the horse into the courtyard. But when he saw the scene in the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment, and then he also saw Liu Wang's wrapped arm, and hurriedly asked, "Mother-in-law, what's wrong with your hand?" Do you fall alive? ”

"And say, it's not your ......" Liu Wang said halfway, Liu Dachun pulled Liu Wang's hand, shook his head and motioned her not to say anything.

Liu Dachun took Liu Wang's words and said, "Dad, I just accompanied my mother to see it at my cousin's house, it was bandaged, and I took medicine, and I will be fine after cultivating for a while." There is nothing big in the family, but the second girl of the uncle's family is making trouble again. ”

"Yao'er? Yao'er is timid, don't scare her. Liu Dalu heard Liu Dachun say that Yao Er made it, not only did he have a look of disbelief.

He knows Yao Er of the eldest brother's family, although his brain is not clear, but he is also timid. Occasionally sneak something, and when you find out, you're scared to death, how can you come to lift the chicken coop.

Liu Dongmei was anxious, and hurriedly said: "It was Su Cheng who lifted the chicken nest, and their sister and brother were amazing, and they pretended to be crazy and stupid to beat me." But the stupid girl promised to lose money to our family. ”

Liuda Lu said: "Losing money? How can the eldest brother's family be rich? It's just a chicken coop, and if it collapses, it's going to be the rainy season anyway, and the adobe has to be replaced, otherwise it will be washed away by the rain. Ming'er I won't go to the town anymore, and I can build a chicken coop at home, and I can build it in one day. ”

"Why!" Liu Wang roared in his throat. Then he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Now the stupid girl is not stupid, she is crazy to come to the house to make trouble, and I still feel that I have lost a hundred and ten yuan." Do you have the ability to make money on Liuda Road, what kind of chicken nest do you build at home? Your son is about to be eighteen, if you want to talk about a daughter-in-law and be hired, how can you have money? ”

Liu Dalu is usually honest, but when he was yelled at by Liu Wang's family, he immediately fell silent. He led the horse to the backyard, changed the hay in the stable, and added some bean cake essence to the horse.

Liu Wang saw that Liu Dalu was bored and went to the back, pulled his son Liu Dachun, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you let me say it just now?" ”

Liu Dachun shook his head and said, "What are you talking about?" Usually, my father said that he couldn't write two 'willows' in one stroke, and he kept saying that he was sorry for my uncle's family, which hurt my uncle's leg. If he knew about this, even if he didn't stop us, he wouldn't let us ask my uncle's family for money. It's better to hide it from my father, he will leave early tomorrow morning, and if he doesn't come back for a few days in town, we will settle the accounts of the stupid girl and Dongmei here. ”

Hearing Liu Dachun say this, Liu Wang smiled crookedly.

Liu Dongmei also hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I can't tell my father." I heard that my father secretly helped the uncle's family. The money my father earned, I have to save it as a dowry, but I can't let him soften his heart and go to my uncle's house cheaply. ”

"Okay, let's go in and cook, my hands hurt too, my body hurts, it's all that stupid girl." Liu Wang said, and asked Liu Dongmei to help him go to the house. I didn't forget to shout to the backyard: "Liuda Road, you don't have a cat in the backyard, you don't come back all day and don't know how to take care of the house, quickly clean up the front yard, make the chicken coop simple, let the chicken run out at night, and see which dog is called to take it away." ”

"Hey." Liudalu replied.

Su Jinyao walked back from the third aunt's house, but she didn't know that she had already begun to calculate her behind her back. Su Jinyao just thought about it again, how could she get this hundred texts in three days.

It stands to reason that the small water shop on the official road is a money-making business. Judging from today's day's tipping alone, as long as someone is willing to stop and come in and sit, there will definitely be a good business.

But after all, it's only the first day of opening today, and the source of customers is still unstable, so I can't expect to have such a proud guest tomorrow, and I will give her a reward of more than 40 Wen. If it really doesn't open for three days, she really has no hope of promising Liu Dongmei's 100 Wen, which is tantamount to slapping herself in the face.

Therefore, there must be a fastest way to make money, even if it is a partial wealth, you have to get a hundred yuan first.

While thinking, Su Jinyao returned to the Su family. I saw Su Cheng looking at the gate of the courtyard, and as soon as he saw Su Jinyao coming back, he hurriedly ran over and called "Second Sister".

"Cheng'er, why don't you wait in the house? Have you seen the injuries on your body? Dizziness or not, does your stomach hurt? Have you broken your teeth? As soon as Su Jinyao saw Su Cheng, she remembered that the corners of Su Cheng's mouth were bleeding from being beaten by Liu Dongmei before, and she was afraid that he would have internal injuries or hurt his teeth.

You know, internal injuries are not easy to treat, and teeth are not easy to grow when they are knocked out. If you lose a baby tooth, it's fine, but if you lose a permanent tooth that has just erupted, it's a lifetime thing.

Su Cheng hurriedly shook his head, grabbed Su Jinyao's shirt and said, "I'm fine, I was slapped by Liu Dongmei, and my tongue was bitten by my teeth." Now rinse your mouth and it will not bleed. When she hit me, I held my head, but I didn't hit my head. ”

"Then she beat you, why don't you beat her?" Su Jinyao looked at Su Cheng, although he was a nine-year-old child, his strength was not small. Running up and down the mountain all day long, and often carrying a large bundle of firewood on his back to walk the mountain road, his body is very strong. Although he can't beat the three brothers of the Wu family, he won't suffer from Liu Dongmei's body.

Su Cheng grinned and said, "Good men don't fight with women." I lifted their chicken coop and took a few beatings. But I'm a man, so I can't reach out and hit a woman. ”

Su Jinyao was amused by Su Cheng's words, pinched Su Cheng's nose, and said funny: "I didn't expect my small town to be quite manly." But who taught you that? ”

"It's my mother. My mother said that if a man wants to stand up to the sky, he must either go into battle to kill the enemy, or he will be a scholar, and he can't nest in the ravine for the rest of his life. He also told me not to argue with women casually, to hide when I meet a shrew, and not to follow the woman's family at will. ”

It's my mother again. Su Jinyao couldn't help but secretly think about the departed hostess of the Su family in her heart. Thinking about what kind of woman she is, Xiuwai Huizhong? Gentle and virtuous?

"Jinyao, are you back?" Sophie also heard Su Cheng and Su Jinyao talking, and came out of the house.

Sophie looked Su Jinyao up and down, the corners of her mouth twitched, and asked, "Are you okay?" The third aunt's Dongmei, just let you come back? ”

"Well, it's okay." Su Jinyao thought about it for a while, but decided not to tell Su Fei'er about the 100 yuan compensation.

Su Jinyao didn't say that she wanted to pay the 100 yuan, but she actually felt that Su Fei'er was weak, and after hearing it, she might go to the third aunt's house to apologize, and she had to be pinched by others.

What's more, Sophie makes money by washing clothes, and Xiaochenger can only go to the mountains to chop wood, which is not an easy job. Let them find a way to raise money, that is to make them suffer. Su Jinyao still decided to rely on herself.

When Su Fei'er saw Su Jinyao say that it was okay, she was still suspicious. However, she knew that she couldn't resist Su Jinyao, and her father was partial, and now that even Cheng'er was helping Su Jinyao, she could only keep silent.

When the three sisters and brothers entered the courtyard, Su Fei'er asked Su Jinyao, "Did you buy the rice and vegetables in the kitchen?" ”

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "Hmm." I heard Xiaocheng'er say that I haven't eaten rice for a long time, and our family always eats wild vegetables, and when we are still growing our bodies, how can we not eat something good. ”

After hearing Su Jinyao's words, Su Fei'er frowned and asked, "Then where did you get the money?" Hunting pigweed, or picking up eggs? ”

Without waiting for Su Jinyao to answer, Su Fei'er said again: "But even if you have some money, you can't buy polished rice." Brown rice can also be eaten, sifted out, and there is nearly a pound of rice that is blown off the husk, which is only eight cents. This polished rice is expensive, isn't it the same to eat? There are also fresh vegetables, that little rape looks so tender, and it's not cheap, right? You can buy potatoes, but if you buy two cabbages, you can also get a big potato, so you don't have to pay for it. ”

Sophie finished talking, but she didn't hear Su Jinyao's voice. As soon as I looked up, I saw Su Jinyao take the salted rabbit meat from the shelf, wash the salt with water, and put it away.

Sophie knew that Su Jinyao didn't listen, so she had to ask again: "I saw that you still bought oil?" These things add up to a lot of money, forty wen, right? What the hell are you doing, getting so much money? ”

"It's just a small business, it's a coincidence." Su Jinyao finally replied, but she didn't say anything deeply.

Sophie flattened her mouth, and wanted to ask something. I listened to Su Jinyao put the hare on the chopping board and chopped it up with a "bang". The sound of the quick knife slashing on the cutting board made Sophie's heart furious. Although she knew that Su Jinyao was not aiming at herself, she swallowed back the words and didn't dare to ask again.

Su Cheng was busy giving Su Jinyao a hand, and when he saw that Su Fei'er pouted and went out to wash clothes, he came to Su Jinyao's side and asked softly, "Second sister, what kind of business did you do to make so much money?" You can earn dozens of dollars a day, and you're about to catch up with Uncle Liu's business. ”

Su Jinyao saw the appearance of the elf in the small city, and said with a smile: "Your eldest sister couldn't bear to ask, why did you come to ask me?" The money I earned was also spent on our family, but I didn't hide my secrets, you just had to eat and drink, don't ask, don't care. ”

"That's not going to work." Xiao Cheng'er got a little closer and said to Su Jinyao: "I'll help the second sister, let's make the stall bigger, won't we be able to make more money." ”

"Little money fans." Su Jinyao glared at Xiao Cheng'er. But after thinking about it, my small water shop has just been set up, and if the situation is not good tomorrow, I will have to go somewhere else to get money, and someone should help me take care of it. Then he said to Xiao Cheng'er: "Since you want to know, let's go to the mountains with the second sister tomorrow." But what the second sister is doing, we have to keep it a secret. ”

"Okay, I'm sure I won't even tell my father." Xiaocheng'er immediately guaranteed.

Su Jinyao nodded and began to concentrate on picking up the hare. I made my first money today, bought rice and vegetables and prepared to come back to celebrate, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen, and the family was still hungry, which made Su Jinyao still feel a little unhappy.

Fortunately, with the help of Xiaocheng, Su Jinyao quickly simmered the rice in the pot. Cut the rabbit meat into pieces, stir-fry with oil until golden brown, and add water to simmer. Although there are no particularly complete condiments, the rabbit meat itself is tender, and the stew is full of fragrance.

After the rabbit meat was stewed, Su Jinyao put a big bowl of meat on the stove and warmed it, and made a noise about potatoes and rape. One meat and one vegetable, the match is quite complete.

Xiao Cheng'er smelled the aroma of the food, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva for a long time.

Waiting for Su Jinyao to put all the food on the table, Xiao Cheng'er secretly pinched a piece of rabbit meat and stuffed it into her mouth, and then ran out and called Sophie to come in and eat.

As soon as Sophie entered the room, she couldn't help but take a big breath, her throat and eyes were dry from the fragrance, and she swallowed her saliva unconsciously.

Seeing Su Fei'er's appearance, Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Eldest sister, this time I smell the smell of rice, do you still think I'm wasting money?" ”

"Jinyao, I don't dislike you, I teach you the truth of running a family. If you can really make money, who wants to eat bran vegetables. But our family is really poor, and there is nothing to make a living that can be maintained, except for relying on our hands and hard work, there is no other way out. I'm afraid that you will get a sweetness but don't know how to save, and you will be used to spending lavishly in the future, what can you do when you have no money? ”

Su Fei'er said something serious, and Su Jinyao also listened. She also understands that Sophie is used to frugality, and this family has indeed been maintained by her.

Su Jinyao walked over and pulled Sophie Er to sit at the table, first served her a bowl of white rice, put it in front of Sophie and said, "Eldest sister is right, Jin Yao remembers." But I'm still saying that, I'll make our family better. So from now on, you have to get used to eating white rice every day. ”

When Su Fei'er heard Su Jinyao say this, she almost crooked her nose. She also thought that Su Jinyao was laughing with her, and did not listen to her words.

When Su Jinyao saw Su Fei'er raise her eyebrows, she knew what she was thinking, and hurriedly said, "Okay, eldest sister has also worked hard all day, let's eat quickly." I'm going to bring food to my father's house. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao picked up a bowl of rice and a bowl of vegetables that had been served before, and went out of the kitchen to Su Xiangui's house.

While walking, Su Jinyao couldn't help but think that if she had more money in the future, she would have to buy a wheelchair for her father. In this way, you can let Dad wander around the house and outside the house when he is fine, and he can eat with them.

When she came to the door of Su Xiangui's house, Su Jinyao was holding the bowl in both hands, and she could only call through the door: "Dad, I'm here to bring you food." ”

"Well, come in." Su Xiangui agreed.

Su Jinyao squeezed sideways, pushed the door open with her elbow, and entered the house with the food.

After a day of drying and ventilation, the turbid air in Su Xiangui's house was gone, although there was still some smell left over the years, but it was not very heavy.

Su Jinyao smiled and put the food aside, went to move the small kang table and put it beside Su Xiangui, set the meal again, and handed the chopsticks to Su Xiangui's hand.

Su Xiangui took the chopsticks handed to him by Su Jinyao, and looked at the sumptuous meal on the table, but for a while, it was so flustered that he didn't move the chopsticks for a long time.

Su Jinyao asked strangely, "Dad, what's wrong?" Don't like to eat or don't have an appetite? ”

"Neither." Su Xiangui came back to his senses, looked at Su Jinyao, and then looked at the dishes on the table, a flash of tears flashed in his eyes, and then he put a piece of potato in his mouth with a trembling hand, chewing it slowly, with a satisfied face.

Su Jinyao understood, Su Xiangui was inferior in his heart again. He must have felt that he was useless, that he had not been able to give his three children a good life, and that he had to take care of him.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao said, "Dad, I cut bamboo and came back today." Don't you know how to weave baskets and bamboo baskets, help me weave a few beautiful baskets? ”

"Okay, okay." Su Xiangui agreed, and then asked, "Jinyao, what kind of basket do you want?" How big? Dad's craftsmanship is okay, but now his fingers are not flexible, so it is estimated that he will be slower. However, you can make a small bamboo basket one day. ”

Su Jinyao hurriedly showed a happy look, nodded, and said with a smile: "That's okay, it's not in a hurry." I just want to use a good-looking basket to hold the fruit, and the appearance can be better. Only...... It's so big. ”

Su Jinyao said, comparing a size, which is as big as the two palms spread together. Then he said: "The process doesn't need to be too fine, but the appearance should be a little special." It's going to be eye-catching, so that people will notice it at once. ”

"The craftsmanship should not be too delicate...... Want to be special? Su Xiangui was a little puzzled, what does this mean?

Su Jinyao smiled and explained: "That is to say, such a basket does not require complicated craftsmanship, but as long as the shape is special and the decoration is good-looking." And if the business is good, it is estimated that the father will start to take apprentices in the future, and it may take more than one day to teach the apprentices to weave baskets. ”

"So much!" Su Xiangui put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at Su Jinyao with some disbelief, is this still the stupid girl Yao Er in their family?

Su Jinyao hurriedly waved her hand and said, "It's not now." I'm thinking about our family doing a little business in the future, and this delicate bamboo basket is a gimmick. Now it's just for you to bother with your father, help me figure out a special style. ”

"That's fine. It's wrapped up in Daddy. Jinyao, if there is anything else you want to do, if your father can help you, just tell your father. When Su Xiangui spoke, his tone was full of excitement.

Su Jinyao nodded seriously and agreed.

Su Xiangui asked again: "Jinyao, Fei'er and Cheng'er came back first just now, and they didn't make it clear. Dad asks you, what's going on with your third aunt's family? ”

"It's okay, it's over after the apology. I've already told Cheng'er that you can't just cause trouble in the future. Su Jinyao replied lightly.

"Well, that's good. Dad knows Cheng'er's thoughts, he can't allow others to bully you, and he will be angry for you in everything. But Jinyao, you're okay now, you're not stupid, and you have to take care of the city. Otherwise, if you develop that arrogant temper, you can't get rid of it. ”

"Yes, I see. Dad, don't worry, I will take care of our family's affairs in the future. Let the eldest sister be easier, and let the small town be fine. Su Jinyao said every word sincerely, and her eyes revealed a touch of maturity and deep rhyme.
