Chapter 259: Piglet
The footsteps were urgent and heavy, and Mrs. Sheng thought that something had happened to the tea shop, so she raised her head and looked at the door.
The Shen family has suffered such a big change, and the old lady can't stand the slightest fright.
Shen Yu put down her chopsticks, "I'll take a look." ”
She was about to go out when someone outside had already walked in.
Sun walked in panting with a basket in her hand, and when she saw Shen Yu, a smile spread on her face.
Sheng Yun'er followed behind Sun, and she also held a basket in her hand.
Seeing the Sheng family again, the Sun family was still slightly surprised.
In the past, Shen Yu, majestic and noble, full of the style of the master mother, now changed into coarse cloth clothes, her hair is tied into a low bun, and she has a plain silver hairpin, which feels like a small jasper.
Look at Mrs. Sheng again, how noble she used to be, but now she is wearing a blue cotton jacket and sitting in front of the small dining table with a blanket on her legs.
The old lady was afraid of the cold, and in the past there was a warm pavilion at home, but in this humble place, she had already begun to wear cotton clothes after autumn.
For a moment, Sun felt that it was wrong to let his daughter continue to stay here.
The Sheng family is really down as outsiders say, what future does it have to stay here?
Sheng Yun'er pushed Sun's for a moment, "Mother, aren't you here to send things to the young grandmother and the old lady?" ”
"Yes, yes, look at my memory." Sun came back to her senses, and she put the basket down.
Lifting the blue plaid cloth covering it, there are two little piglets inside.
"It's a pig!" Sheng Jinxu exclaimed in surprise, he had never seen pigs much, and he was very curious about the piglets in the neighbor's house.
The piglet, which was not large, tied its feet with hemp rope, and stayed quietly in the large basket prepared by Sun.
The little piglet is chubby, and Sun lifted it all the way, and he doesn't blame her for being so heavy.
Sheng Yun'er handed over her basket again, which contained seasonal vegetables, picked from Sun's own vegetable garden.
Sheng Jinxu was teasing the little piglet, and Shen Yu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law has a heart, and she was still discussing with her grandmother just now, whether to buy a little piglet." There are many people in the family, and there are many leftovers from the meal, and with piglets, they can also make the best use of things. Before I went out to buy it, you sent it. ”
Sun said proudly: "This year, my pig just gave birth to a piglet, you see how strong this little pig grows." Grandma don't worry, my piglet is easy to feed. Pour any leftovers for them and keep the fat growing. ”
Pigs eat all the leftovers of people, and they can still sell it for money when they grow up, or they stay at home to eat meat, and many families will raise pigs.
The whole family gathered around the little piglet, and the old lady hadn't seen such a small piglet for some years, and she couldn't close her mouth happily.
said that the family would be homely, and the Sun family was leaving, so Shen Yu took out two yuan for her.
Sun glanced at Shen Yu in surprise, the Sheng family has fallen so far, can they still have money to slap a swollen face and become fat?
Sheng Yun'er said: "Don't be polite, grandmother, these are all your own things, and they are worthless." ”
Sun also followed: "In the past, the eldest and youngest grandmothers took good care of us, what is this thing?" ”
Sun refused to ask for it, so Shen Yu had no choice but to accept the money.
Two dollars really can't buy two live piglets, there are so many people in the family waiting for dinner, and she has no spare money to pretend to be decent.
Sheng Yun'er sent Sun out, and on the way, she said unhappily: "Mother, what did I tell you, I saw what you meant just now, did you want to collect money from the young grandmother?" ”
"That piglet is looking for a good buyer!" Sun said unhappily, "Our family's things didn't fall from the sky, weren't the pigs fed with grain?" The piglets that were born so easily grew so strong. ”
Sun's husband is a distant relative of the Sheng family, but he has been depressed over the years, and he can only make a living by going out to work. The Sun family took care of the housework at home, raised some livestock, and lived a poor life.
Sheng Yun'er took Sun's arm and sighed: "Mother, let me tell you this, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse." Don't look at the big house now that it's down, maybe it will turn over when it will be. The old lady said that as long as the people are still there, they will always get better in the future. ”
Sun disagreed.
The mother and daughter parted at the entrance of the alley, and Sun walked home with the empty basket.
She buried her head in her walk, not paying attention to the person who came over her.
The person who came was a handsome girl, wearing a blue cloth shirt and carrying a vegetable basket in her hand.
Once upon a time, the Sun family helped in the Sheng family, and I saw this maid, who was the maid Huan'er next to the grandmother of the second room and the third young woman.
"Miss Huan'er." Sun greeted with a smile.
The second room is now developed, Xu Xinyue has some weight in talking at home, and the Sun family does not dare to snub the maids around her.
Huan'er didn't recognize who Sun was, but when she came out of the alley where Shen Yu lived, Huan'er also gave a smile.
"What are you doing here? If I'm not mistaken, the eldest grandmother lives in that area, right? ”
Sun nodded, and she told her the purpose of coming today.
"Young Master Xu likes the piglets I gave very much, hugging them and hugging them, it's not too dirty." Sun said with a smile, "This piglet is strong, and it can be sold for a lot of money after a few months." ”
Huan'er smiled perfunctorily and scoffed at Shen Yu's pig raising behavior.
The young grandmother of a large family is now so down, it's really pitiful.
Huan'er told Xu Xinyue about this incident as an anecdote, and lowered the big room fiercely.
“…… You mean, Sheng Jinxu likes piglets? Xu Xinyue groaned, she gently rubbed the jade bracelet on her wrist, thoughtful.
Sheng Jinxu likes small animals very much, usually in the Sheng family, he is not allowed to touch cats and dogs, and he has two little piglets at home, he is very happy.
Noble tied one of the piglet's front legs with a strip of cloth and let Sheng Jinxu lead him to play.
The little piglet was humming and chirping in the yard, and Sheng Jinxu was having a lot of fun.
Shen Yu was afraid that he would stain his clothes, so she wanted to reprimand him with a cold face, so the old lady said: "Don't care, let him play, pigs won't bite, and they can't hurt." ”
"Grandmother, don't get used to him, Xu'er is going to be spoiled by you." Shen Yu sighed and said, since moving, Sheng Jinxu has become a mud monkey.
Every night before going to bed, shake his clothes, which are covered with dirt.
The old lady smiled and said, "Relax, I'll just sit in the yard and watch, I won't run away." ”
There is no idler in the family, and the old lady and Tao's mother can't do heavy work, so they are responsible for washing and sewing. Shen Yu devoted herself to making black tea, striving for delivery on schedule in November.
Autumn is getting stronger, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and the sun at noon is particularly pleasant.
The old lady sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, and before she knew it, she was napping.
Sheng Jinxu led the little pig to play in the yard, and when he didn't pay attention, the rope in his hand was loosened, and the piglet ran towards the door.
"Little flower, you wait for me!" Sheng Jinxu chased out.
The piglet is not as spiritual as a kitten or a puppy, and it runs all the way out of the alley and into the street.
