Chapter 9

Zhuang Xiaodie looked at Jiang Xiangyun a little blankly, and then looked at Chen Qingmei, "Who is this?" ”

"I forgot to tell you, I live with my cousin now." Chen Qingmei said, "This is my cousin, Tang Muyao." ”

"It turned out to be Mu Yao's cousin." Zhuang Xiaodie smiled, "I didn't know you had a cousin." ”

Chen Qingmei said, "My cousin and aunt went, and she came to me." ”

"You can't support yourself yourself, and you still support others." Zhuang Xiaodie said.

"Not really, my cousin herself also brought the family money, which is enough for us to live for the time being." Chen Qingmei said.

"Then what to do after that, you have to live."

Chen Qingmei said, "Let's talk about it later, it's a big deal to embroider and sell cloth, you can always support yourself." ”

Zhuang Xiaodie nodded, "That's right, it's better than if you don't have enough food and clothing in the Chen family, if you have a penny on hand, your grandmother will rob it for you, and here you make your own decisions, how much money is your own." ”

"Hmm." Chen Qingmei said, "Mu Yao, this is Zhuang Xiaodie, you can just call her Sister Xiaodie." ”

"Hello Fluttershy, sister." Jiang Xiangyun said, "I'm still stewed with fish in the pot, I'll go and watch it first." ”

"Looks like your food is pretty good, there are fish." Zhuang Xiaodie said.

"I went to catch fish in the river."

"Aren't you afraid to go into the water? How dare you catch fish. Zhuang Xiaodie was a little surprised.

Chen Qingmei shrugged, "Life is compelling, the fish in the river don't need money, of course, they eat food that doesn't cost money, and they can fill their stomachs and be delicious, so why not do it." ”

"It's really forced by life." Zhuang Xiaodie said, "Then I will be blessed, and I can catch up with you to eat fish today." ”

The fish that Chen Qingmei took in the morning was a little too big, so she ate it in half.

In the evening, it is still fish stewed tofu, as well as fried shredded pork with green peppers, as well as a tofu soup and a pot of porridge.

In the morning, I spent a penny to buy four pieces of tofu, the amount of tofu is still very large, one was eaten at noon, one was eaten at night, and the remaining two pieces were made into tofu soup.

"I can't see that your food is good." Zhuang Xiaodie picked up her chopsticks, "I thought you wouldn't have enough to eat." ”

Chen Qingmei said, "When Mu Yao came, she brought some rice and noodles, all of which were from her own home. ”

Jiang Xiangyun was stunned, this was obviously taken out by the eldest sister, but seeing that the eldest sister said this, she naturally wouldn't be stupid to dismantle the stage.

"I see." Zhuang Xiaodie nodded, and she said, Qingmei was kicked out and had nothing, where did she get the money to buy rice.

"These rice and noodles are not enough to eat, and it is estimated that they can only last for two or three days." Chen Qingmei said, "In a few days, we won't know how to live." ”

Zhuang Xiaodie said, "So what are you going to do to make money?" Embroidery? That's also a lot of work

"Husband, don't starve to death before you can make it."

"When the time comes, you can always earn a few pennies to fill your stomach by washing and washing people's clothes, sewing clothes and something." Chen Qingmei said.

Jiang Xiangyun was a little foggy, and he didn't understand why the eldest sister said this, obviously there was still a lot of rice in the rice tank, so it wouldn't be eaten in two or three days.

"Hey, I'm really sorry for you." Zhuang Xiaodie took a sip of porridge, "There is still shredded meat in this green pepper, our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time." ”

"This is a piece of meat given by the aunt in the village, usually the two of us are reluctant to eat it, so today I see you coming, put a little bit, and the rest is estimated to be eaten for the New Year."

"It doesn't stink, you can get some salt and pickle, and it will take longer."

"That's what I'm going to do, let's go back and borrow some from Aunt Zhang's house."

Zhuang Xiaodie drank two bowls of porridge, a bowl of tofu soup, and ate a lot of vegetables, and only a little shredded meat in the green pepper was also picked by her.

After eating, Fluttershy sat in the kitchen doorway, watching Jiang Xiangyun and Chen Qingmei wash the dishes and talk to them.

"I heard that your grandmother's family is going to have a happy event, and she wants to invite the whole village, my grandmother said that the money for her family's banquet seems to be from the woman's family." Zhuang Xiaodie said, "It looks like your third aunt's family is quite rich. ”

Chen Qingmei said, "This year, the third uncle will also spend a lot of money to take the Xiucai exam, where is there any money for a banquet, but this woman's family is quite generous." ”

"I heard that the money for this Xiucai exam is also from your third aunt."

"So good? I think it should be more than that simple, and I think it's okay to ask the third uncle to get into the trouble like this. Chen Qingmei said.

"With your grandmother's temperament, let her son get rich, she must not be crazy." Zhuang Xiaodie said.

If Chen Qingmei really got what she said, then the Wei family contributed money and effort, but it was not for nothing, but really planned to let Chen Zhian get rich.

The Wei family also plans well, there is such a girl in the family, and the family background is also thick, it would be great if they could recruit a son-in-law, not to mention that Chen Zhian is still a scholar, and he will definitely not bully their daughter, so he is so dedicated to Chen Zhi'an, otherwise they would have done something.

As soon as Mrs. Chen heard that she wanted to let Chen Zhi'an join the family, she couldn't agree to it, but she had short hands and soft mouths for eating others, and Mrs. Chen was a little hesitant when she touched the silver bracelet in her hand, and it was good that she didn't turn her face on the spot.

Chen Zhi'an is the heart of Mrs. Chen, and he is the longest-faced scholar in the family, if he is rich, everyone in this village will definitely see the jokes of the Chen family.

"No, no, you can't get into trouble." Mrs. Chen slapped the table, "How will I face your dead father in the future?" ”

Zhao Meihua also has a plan in her heart, if Chen Zhi'an is rich, she has nothing to do with her, maybe she can get benefits from it.

Judging from today, the Wei family is very generous, not only gave Mrs. Chen a silver bracelet, but also gave Zhao Meihua a silver hairpin, although the weight of this silver hairpin is not as heavy as the bracelet, after all, Mrs. Chen is an elder, and she can't cross over, even so, the scale in Zhao Meihua's heart has been tilted on the Wei family's side.

"Dad has been dead for so many years, do you still care about this?" Zhao Meihua said.

In the past, when Zhao Meihua wanted to say this kind of thing, Mrs. Chen had already smoked the soles of her shoes and scolded, but today she was exceptionally quiet.

The eldest son Chen Gangan didn't say a word, he usually said little, even in the matter of his younger brother's involvement, he didn't have anything to say, he had always listened to Mrs. Chen's words, and he wouldn't mix them up.

Zhao Meihua saw that Mrs. Chen was silent, and she knew what she was thinking, "Mother, you see that this Wei family is such a daughter, and when Wei Tianni's father and mother die, won't the Wei family's property go to the uncle's head?" At that time, we will not have to worry about eating and drinking, maybe the uncle will have been admitted to Xiucai and become a big official by then. ”
