Qiu Se looked at it for a while, feeling tired and panicked, so he stepped forward and tapped the knocker, and soon, a woman's soft voice answered from inside the door, "Wait a minute." ”

Then there was the sound of a heavy object cutting across the stone slab in the courtyard, and then a coughing sound, and as the coughing sound got closer and closer, and the footsteps inside the door became clear, and then the coughing gradually stopped, the latch of the door sounded, the door was half opened, and a gray-haired woman appeared in the door.

"Who is it...... Girl, what's the matter with you? The woman was surprised to see that it was a girl who had come to knock on the door.

Seeing that the woman's face was yellow, and she was as skinny as the scholar, she knew that she was not looking for the wrong place, so she took the umbrella and smiled: "Hello auntie, this is Jia Xiucai's home, right?" ”

"Uh...... Be. The woman was Jia Xiucai's mother, she didn't expect Qiu Se to come to find her son, so she couldn't help asking, "Are you looking for a pity?" ”

Pian?! Qiu Se almost couldn't hold back her laughter, she didn't expect that the scholar's name was so weak, so she cleared her throat and said: "Auntie, Jia Xiucai was injured yesterday because he helped me, so I came to see him today, and if you have a little heart, you can accept it." As he spoke, he handed over the millet and meat that he was carrying in his other hand.

Jia Mu didn't take the things in Qiu Se's hand, but looked at Qiu Se and changed her face, "You are the one who sells watermelons?" ”

Qiu Se nodded a little uncomfortably, "Yesterday thanks to Jia Xiucai'......"

"We don't want your stuff, you go! Ahem! Jia Mu seemed to be a little excited, and as soon as she wanted to close the door, she couldn't help coughing, and her cheeks were red from coughing.

"Mother, who's coming?" Jia Xiucai walked out of the house step by step with a stick. Standing in front of the door and looking this way.

Autumn is a little difficult to advance and retreat, let's go, I came to visit the wounded, and I haven't put down the things in my hand yet! Stay, look at Jia Mu's attitude is really unwelcome to herself! Also, because my son was injured, who would be angry if he was replaced!

Mother Jia saw that Jia Xiucai was out of the house, and she didn't care about the autumn color, so frightened, she hurriedly ran back to support her son, and complained: "What are you doing when you are injured like that?" If you want anything, just call your mother. ”

Jia Xiucai leaned on Jia's mother slightly, looked at the two large basins of clothes on the ground and couldn't help frowning: "Mother, I'm fine, why are you washing clothes again?" Didn't you say that I would take a day off and go to the stall tomorrow?"

"You are all a showman, how can you still do those things, when you become an official in the future, you will be talked about. But a few clothes, my mother washed it. Jia's mother obviously disagreed with her son's words.

"Mother, your health is not good, why bother with this? As for the future, we will talk about it later. ”

The two mother and son hung an autumn color at the door, and after thinking about it, the autumn color still decided to send a gift to the home, so she faked a cough, stepped into the yard, and said with a smile: "Jia Xiucai, Aunt Jia, I am here to thank you." ”

Mother Jia wiped her tears, "Let's go, my son is a showman, he knows etiquette, righteousness and shame, but it's not for you to help!" ”

Jia Xiucai also nodded approvingly, "Girl, you don't have to be so polite about some trivial things." ”

Qiu's mouth twitched, this mother is sick, she is poor and virtuous, and she is still high there!

"Aunt Jia, Jia Xiucai was injured in order to help me, I should come to condole, besides, he is not in good health now, and it is good to eat some good supplements."

"This ......," Jia's mother couldn't help but be a little relaxed when she heard that she was giving her son a healthy body.

Qiuse said to Jia Xiucai again: "Nerd, uh, you can go out to set up a stall to make money after you eat some good health, so as not to work hard for the eldest mother alone, besides, you may not be able to eat all this meat and millet alone, just enough to eat with the eldest mother!" ”

Jia Xiucai was silent when she heard Qiu Se's words, nodded in agreement first, and then shook her head, "Although what the girl said is right, the injury on my body is not caused by the girl, so how can I break the girl's money?" So the girl should take the things away! ”

I'll go, don't say that, it's hard to beg him! The autumn color can't help but be a little impatient, it can be seen that the thin skin and bones of the mother and son are a little pitiful, and Xiucai's injury is indeed caused by himself!

"Jia Xiucai, Aunt Jia, actually...... It wasn't bought with my money. "There's no way, Autumn Colors can only lie.

"Huh?" The mother and son were stunned, glanced at each other, and looked at the autumn colors in puzzlement.

Autumn color stubbornly continued, "Well, it was yesterday, didn't an official errand come later?" When the official learned the truth of the matter, he reprimanded the scoundrels and punished them for giving me the money, because you were already gone! Ask me to bring it to you today! So these things are bought by those who paid for money. "Actually, the loss money was given to Ai Laohu a long time ago, and the money she brought today was all her hard-earned recently.

"Okay then." Jia Xiucai nodded, "Since it is the master of the official mission, I will be disrespectful, mother, take the thing." ”

A smile appeared on Jia Mu's face, and she stopped glaring at Qiuse, "Okay, Li'er, I'll go and sell this meat to you for medicine in a while." ”

"Mother!" Jia Xiucai saw that Qiuse was still here, so her mother said these copper-smelling trivialities, and couldn't help frowning, "Don't sell the meat, leave it for you to make up for yourself!" ”

Seeing that her son was angry, Jia's mother didn't dare to say anything more, so she just took the millet into the kitchen, but the meat was brought out again, presumably to be sold.

"Aunt Jia, you don't have to sell this meat, in fact, I still have money for you!" After saying that, Qiu Se regretted it a little, and it was not easy to make money by himself, why did he give it away for nothing? Could it be that he was moved by the family affection between the mother and son of the two?

"What silver?" The mother and son were a little dazed.

"Uh......" Autumn color secretly sighed, today I went out with a total of less than 200 yuan, just now it cost 70 yuan to buy millet and meat, and there are about 100 yuan left, since I said that I gave them it, I sold watermelons for half a day!

"It was also paid by the gangsters yesterday." Qiu Se stuffed the money bag directly into Jia's mother's hand, "Auntie, you can leave the meat to eat, and use this money to grab medicine." ”

Suddenly there was a lot of copper coins, and Jia's mother couldn't react for a while, and looked at her son. Jia Xiucai looked at the money bag in her mother's hand and looked at the autumn colors, and asked, "Girl, these silver coins should be yours, right?" ”

Hehe, he knows?! Qiu Se was surprised, and only listened to Jia Xiucai continue: "Since the copper money they paid me has already bought something, then these paid to the girl, the girl will take it herself, yesterday the girl's watermelons were all destroyed, and I am afraid that the money will be less." ”

It turns out that he thinks so! Qiu Se suddenly felt that this Jia Xiucai was also quite interesting, although it was a little old-fashioned.

"Girl, give you the money!" Although Jia's mother couldn't give up the money bag in her hand, she still had to listen to her son's words, so she planned to return the money bag to Qiu Se.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Se retreated and waved his hand at the two of them, "You should keep this money, after all, you need it more than me, whether you want to grab medicine, or buy rice and meat, it's all up to you!" I'm gone, thank you for saving me yesterday, nerd! After saying that, Autumn turned and ran.

Jia's mother didn't expect Qiushi to run away like this, but when she chased outside the gate, she saw that she had turned into Ronghua Street and disappeared into the crowd, and when she turned around, she saw Jia Xiucai limping into the courtyard, so frightened that she hurriedly ran over to support him, "What are you in a hurry!" The fact that she was willing to keep the money proved that she was not losing, and maybe the gangsters gave more than that. ”

"Mother, then I can't just accept other people's money at will, there were people who didn't eat the food that came from the past, but today I am collecting things and money...... I'm really ashamed to teach my teacher! Jia Xiucai seemed to be in great pain, and couldn't help squatting on the ground and crying bitterly.

"This ...... Child, or say that I took it! Jia Mu was at a loss for a while.

Jia Xiucai wiped her eyes, "No need, wait for me to write an IOU with her, and I can pay her back when I see her in the future!" ”

She didn't know Jia Xiucai's ambivalence when she walked out of Jia's alley easily, she felt that she had helped the two of them from starvation, and she also repaid the kindness of the scholar yesterday for saving her, and she was in a good mood all the way and went back to Ding's house directly.

Before I got home, I was bored and wanted to buy some meat to make dumplings to eat, and I couldn't lose myself if I gave so much money to others, right? Alas, it would have been nice to have left some money just now and bought it back.

Qiuse went out to the butcher shop to buy half a catty of meat and two catties of white noodles, and bought a handful of leeks back, so he asked Sanya to make dumplings together.

"Ah, white-flour dumplings!" Sanya jumped up excitedly.

The autumn color asked Sanya to help choose and wash the leeks, and took over the stuffing work by herself.

"Big girl, what are you spending money on this leek? Backyard ...... "Wu wanted to say that there was a small leek field in the backyard, and halfway through speaking, he remembered that his mother-in-law was so slamming the door, and he would never give them leeks to use, so he stopped squeaking."

Qiu Se also knew, but she really didn't want to talk nonsense with Mrs. Ding, anyway, it wasn't bad for these two pennies, so she persuaded Wu, "It's all in the vegetable market anyway." "There is a small market at the intersection of East 9th Street, near the entrance to the town from the countryside below, which sells more green vegetables and tofu from the countryside, and it is there that Gazi and his son sell firewood.

"Hey, I forgot to buy ginger!" Autumn said with annoyance.

"You don't have to buy it, it's milk! I'm going to pick out a piece for you. Sanya put down the leeks and was about to go out.

Wu pulled the third daughter back, "What kind of mess are you making, the ginger is not ripe now!" If you pick it up, be careful that your hit you! Go and ask your grandmother for a piece of ginger. ”

"Huh?" Sanya made a bitter face, "I scolded me for not bringing it to me." ”

"Hehe, eldest sister, I'll help you ask for ginger!" Ruby stuck her head out of the door and grinned.

Sanya chirped: "I'm sorry, dead red jade, you're a gluttonous dumpling!" ”

Hongyu smiled and was not annoyed, Wu patted Sanya, "Choose your leeks, Hongyu, can you take the ginger out?" ”

"Well, I'm going to ask my mother." Ruby nodded.

"Cut, your mother went to the dock, and when she comes back, do you want my dumplings?" Sanya snorted.

"Hey, stinky girl, I'll give you ginger, you have to give me dumplings to eat." Jin Bao stood behind Hongyu and looked at Qiu Se and said, last time he helped exchange yellow mud for watermelon and had experience, this time he brought it up himself.
