So, what to do?

Qiao Sanxiu heard what Zheng said, and he was really a little flustered.

I have a solution, Zheng said.

What's the idea?

Third uncle, you also know that our family's money is in my mother's hands, and I don't have any money around me, but I can borrow some from my mother's family, after all, this is a big deal for the third uncle, and I should also make some efforts. But

Zheng Shi stretched out his voice when he said this, glanced at Qiao Sanxiu, and stopped talking.

Sister-in-law, but what, you say

Qiao Sanxiu urged.

But it's still the same thing just now, and I want the third uncle to talk to my mother, let Sai'er live in your house, and the three Ruyi sisters and brothers go to live in the old house outside.

Zheng continued to finish.

This is a trifle.

Qiao Laixing was relieved to hear that the Zheng family could borrow money from his mother's family, and said busily, but asked with some anxiety:

How much can you borrow, sister-in-law?

It's hard to say how much to borrow now, as long as the third uncle does this well, this dowry will definitely be made up for the third uncle.

Zheng said as if assured.

That sister-in-law will do what you say, and I'll go to my mother now.

Qiao Sanxiu smiled when he heard Zheng's words, said, raised his leg and went to the front yard.

Qiao Sail watched from the side and said to Zheng:

Mother, do you think this is possible?

It can be done, why can't it be done. Zheng said with confidence:

Your grandmother doesn't listen to your third uncle about anything, as long as your third uncle speaks, there is nothing that can't be done.

Qiao Sanxiu came out of the backyard and came directly to Qiao Laoniang's house, and sat down next to Qiao Laoniang first, Qiao Laoniang was lying on the kang, with a hot towel on her head, and humming in her mouth, it seemed that she was stumped by Qiao Sanxiu's marriage.

Sanxiu, how did you come? Mrs. Qiao opened her eyes and asked.

Qiao Sanxiu told Mrs. Qiao what Zheng told him.

Is that really what your sister-in-law said?

Mrs. Qiao took the towel away, got up, and asked.

Mother, can I still lie to you, my sister-in-law told me in person

Qiao Sanxiu replied.

Then go and call all the people in the west room.

As soon as Mrs. Qiao heard this, she immediately ordered Qiao Sanxiu.

Mother, or you're good to me-

Qiao Sanxiu said with a smile, and went to the west room under the kang.

West side room

Qiao Ruyi and Qiao Laixing Qiao Ruxin were talking, and they saw Qiao Sanxiu coming over, Qiao Ruyi raised her eyebrows, Qiao Sanxiu doesn't come to their house on weekdays, why did you come today?

Ruyi, you bring Laixing, Ruxin follows me, and I have something to tell you.

Qiao Sanxiu dropped such a sentence and hurriedly turned around and left first.

When Qiao Ruyi heard this, she had some numbers in her heart, looked at Qiao Laixing, Qiao Ruxin, and both of them nodded to Qiao Ruyi.

Qiao Ruyi smiled on his face and said to the two:

Let's go, let's go.

Qiao Ruyi pulled one in one hand, and the three of them followed Qiao Sanxiu into the house where Qiao Lao Niang lived.

Mother, people are coming, you can tell them if you have anything.

Qiao Laixiu's tone was indescribably excited, and she said to Mrs. Qiao.

Qiao Lao Niang was sitting on the kang and wrapping her feet, and when she heard Qiao Laixiu say this, she raised her eyelids and looked at the three Ruyi sisters and brothers standing in front of her, lowered her head again, and continued to wrap her feet.

Mother, you have something to say quickly.

Qiao Laixiu urged.

Look at you in a hurry, what is there to hurry!

Mrs. Qiao sighed lightly, although she said so, she also sped up the movement in her hand, wrapped her feet three times and two times, and sat on the kang well. Then he spoke:

Ruyi, Laixing, Ruxin, you are here

Qiao Ruyi and the three nodded.

Mrs. Qiao was silent for a while, sighed, and said:

There is no way to milk anymore, your third uncle wants to marry, and your daughter-in-law's family wants a house and a dowry, and now I have to wronged you.

, what do you mean by that?

Although Qiao Ruyi knew what Qiao Lao Niang was going to say, she always had to ask things clearly, Qiao Laixing, Qiao Ruxin only stood quietly on both sides of Qiao Ruyi, and stood on both sides of Qiao Ruyi without saying a word, silently supporting her.

It's Ruyi, you take it to Xing, and Ruxin goes to live in our old house

Mrs. Qiao coughed lightly twice, and finally said it,

Mrs. Qiao continued,

There is no way to do it, your third uncle is not young anymore, you can be wronged, although the old house has not been inhabited for many years, but over the years, your father has also taken care of it from time to time, and it is still neat, and there is no problem with people.

Milk, why don't you let the third uncle live?

Qiao Ruxin couldn't help but ask next to Qiao Ruyi.

I, I'm not going-

Qiao Sanxiu listened to Qiao Ruxin's words, and immediately retorted, although the house can live in people, but it is very low, the windows are small, and the sun can't shine in, it is very dim, where is it compared to the new house here, which is spacious and bright. He was used to living in this big tiled house, where would he go to live in that small mud house.

Qiao Lao Niang naturally disagreed, and said:

Your child's family doesn't know anything, your third uncle is going to marry a new daughter-in-law, how can you go to live there, even if I am willing, the new daughter-in-law is not willing, don't say this in the future.

When Qiao Ruxin heard this, she curled her lips and took two steps back without speaking.

Qiao Ruyi listened and said with a smile,

Milk, you're right, the third uncle married a new daughter-in-law and couldn't live in the old house, but our three sisters and brothers are still young and don't have adults, how can we live in a house alone.

Qiao Ruyi is not reluctant to go to the old house to live, although she is thirteen years old, but she is the soul of an adult, because of what has happened these days, she has long wanted to leave this yard, but even if Qiao Ruyi leaves, she has to take something with her, after all, she has to live with her younger siblings when she gets there.

I don't think there's anything that can't be done, the people in our village are simple, they won't do those sneaky things, and nothing will happen if you live in another room, and everything else is still the same.

Mrs. Qiao said.

Listening to Mrs. Qiao's words, except that they couldn't live in this courtyard, the others were still as usual. In other words, I have to go outside to collect sheep grass every day and eat in this yard.

Milk, after a while, the weather will be cold, we always have to heat up when we live in the old house, and we can't help but heat up all day long.

Qiao Ruyi asked again.

The people of Qiaojiazhuang use the earthen kang to warm up in winter, and in winter, the fire in the earthen stove can not only cook rice, but also pass to the earthen kang, and the kang will be warm, since Qiao Lao Niang is determined to drive them to the old house, Qiao Ruyi should think about these things in advance.

Qiao Lao Niang obviously didn't think about these problems, hearing Qiao Ruyi say this, she couldn't help but look up at Qiao Ruyi, but she thought in her heart, if she opened a stove in the old house, wouldn't it cost an extra firewood, but if she didn't open the stove, it would indeed be unbearable in that winter. Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but hesitate when she thought of this.

Mother, what's this, I'll go to the mountain to cut a few pieces of wood another day, and then put it under the stove and burn it vigorously.

Qiao Sanxiu said without thinking about it, of course, although he said so, he would say it when he didn't do it or not

When Mrs. Qiao heard Qiao Sanxiu say this, she also nodded and said:

Your third uncle is right.

Milk, in the future, the new third aunt will come, and all of us will eat at the same table, and it will make the new third aunt unhappy. Since we want to start a stove and make a fire, why don't we eat in the old house?
