Sister Qiu smiled and watched the children play with the little black donkey, she wondered if she was really a 10-year-old child, and asked her to play this kind of game with Dayin, she couldn't play it.

Li Changjie was the one who made the idea, so he naturally understood that Lao Suo said this to raise his own price, so he smiled and pulled Lao Suo aside to talk.

After the two of them muttered for a while, Li Changjiao went to talk to Jia's family: "Five taels of silver, do you think it?" ”

Jia also didn't understand the price of livestock, and after Liu Sheng heard it, he nodded and said: "This price is okay, that donkey is a good donkey, with strong bones, good life and feeding, and when he grows up, he can go to the field to pull a plow, and he can rent it out when he is busy farming, and he can also earn a lot of money." ”

"With Brother Liu's words, I feel at ease." Li Changjiao said with a smile.

Liu Sheng looked at Li Changjiao with some surprise, "What...... Is this donkey to be bought by Brother Li? "Didn't Mrs. Xiucai buy it? However, it is expected that Mrs. Xiucai should have no money in hand now, didn't she just finish paying off her debts!

"No, I don't need a donkey. Now my sisters are short of money, so I'll lend them first. Li Changji explained with a smile.

Liu Sheng nodded and complimented Jia with a smile, "Sister-in-law has a good big brother!" ”

Mrs. Lao Xiucai is a hard-working person, her husband's family can't be relied on, but fortunately there is a maternal brother who is willing to take care of her.

Lao Suo, who sells donkeys, often drives his little black donkey to the town to pull goods, and Li Changjie is regarded as an acquaintance, Li Changjie wants to leave the little black donkey at Sister Qiu's house first, and asks Lao Suo to follow him to the town's house to withdraw money, and Lao Suo has no objection.

After the transaction was completed, Jia Shi and Sister Qiu went to the small kitchen to make a few dishes, entertained Lao Su and Liu Sheng, and Tuo Lin did accompany Li Changjiao. Fortunately, there are many melons and fruits in summer, and the fresh water tofu that has just been suppressed in the afternoon is not difficult to cook a few dishes.

The last dish was fried eggplant box, which was made by Jia's family, and Sister Qiu and Dayin hurriedly went to Lao Sheng's grocery store and bought a jar of wine back.

In the end, Sister Qiu's family was full of orphans and widows, and it was inconvenient for several big men to drink in the courtyard.

A few people had a good time, and Sister Qiu sent a basket of hanging melon cakes here, and seeing the red light on the faces of several people, she said crisply: "Uncle, you will go home later, and my mother will tell you to eat less wine." ”

"Huh!" Li Changbi responded with a smile.

Liu Sheng beckoned to Sister Qiu and said with a smile: "Come on, uncle asks you, you made all this dish?" I heard that your cooking is delicious, but I only saw it today! ”

Sister Qiu shook her head and said with a smile: "No, most of them are made by my mother, where can I catch up with my mother!" ”

The donkey seller wiped the oil on his mouth and said with satisfaction: "My mothers have also bought water tofu a few times, and today I tasted the water tofu of Mrs. Xiucai's house, and I know that the dishes made by my mothers are not on the table!" ”

"Uncle likes to eat, so he will come to the town to find our Qiuji water tofu!" Sister Qiu smiled and said, "We're all here every day." ”

Lin

There was laughter and laughter in the courtyard, and the atmosphere was very cheerful. The atmosphere of the Mei family is not so good, now it is no longer the busy season of farming, the second uncle of Mei is either hanging out outside, or lying on the kang to sleep, and there is no way for the second aunt Mei to be angry.

"Why are you still sleeping!" When Aunt Mei came home, she saw Second Uncle Mei lying on the kang, and she was angry.

Second Uncle Mei frowned and yawned, and said unhappily: "There's nothing going on at home, what's wrong with me?" ”

Second Aunt Mei didn't care about arguing with him, sat down on the kang and said, "Do you know? The big guy bought a donkey today! I also saw that the sky said that she had no money, ghost believe! Although the donkey over there was the money taken out by Li Chang, she still couldn't help but have sour eyes, she didn't have such a generous big brother.

Although Aunt Mei really wants to go to Sister Qiu's house again, in her eyes, the eldest sister-in-law's house has become a golden nest, and the soles of any pair of shoes are all muslin, and she has not reaped any benefits several times, and she is unwilling to do so.

But she didn't dare, the Jia family was no longer the Jia family who followed the trend before, and Sister Qiu's girl was also a black-hearted and sharp-mouthed child, and she remembered Sister Qiu's threats to her when she was harvesting the wheat, and she remembered it clearly, I was really afraid that Sister Qiu would find a few flower boys to come over and hurt the children in her belly.

"That girl is ruthless in her heart!" Aunt Mei said crookedly, and thought about Lin Cheng next door to pick up water tofu to sell every day, and she didn't know how much money she earned.

Second Uncle Mei was not interested in Aunt Mei's words, and planned to shake up Second Aunt Mei when he was going to turn his head and continue to sleep, "Don't sleep!" Aunt Mei frowned, pointed to the Jiang family next door, and said, "I see that Lin does go to sell water tofu, but he can make a lot of money." Why don't you also go and talk to your sister-in-law, and also choose water tofu to sell? We are blood relatives, she wholesaled us water tofu, can't you be cheeky and count money with us? ”

"I'm not going!" Second Uncle Mei's father was relieved, and he refused without thinking about it, selling water tofu was so hard, carrying such a heavy burden to walk the streets and alleys, and shouting to eat, he thought about it and felt tired, or lying comfortably on the kang.

Second Aunt Mei was so angry that all her tears came out, "You...... Why did I marry such a lazy person as you! Boneless thing! Dirty ......"

"Shut up, you stinky bitch!" Second Uncle Mei's father scolded him, sat up and patted his ear on Aunt Mei's face, his face was gloomy and hideous, "I don't think I'm good grandpa?" You don't pee either, and you look like a bear yourself! Dare to dislike grandpa, I'm not good! ”

Aunt Mei's coiled hair was fanned crookedly, a few strands of hair were sticky with tears, messily attached to her face, and she sat on the kang with her belly upright, wanting to cry but not daring to cry loudly, for fear of losing face to others.

"Yindi is older than her sister-in-law's niece daughter Yuxiu, Yuxiu's marriage has all been decided, and there is no one to mention Yindi, don't you think our family is poor?" Aunt Mei sobbed and said, "I still have ...... in my belly If you are a father, you can't give it to a child

Save some money to marry your daughter-in-law! ”

Second Uncle Mei was impatient and annoyed when he heard it, and he didn't have to worry about this matter, but it was useless for him to worry about this matter, and the money would not fall from the sky, so he simply didn't think about it, and lived a day by day.

"Didn't I think about it?" Second Uncle Mei said, "You don't know what the situation is at home, I went to earn money, and when I came back, I handed it over to our mother, and I followed up the bottomless pit in the hands of our mother, and I couldn't even hear a sound." Think about our eldest brother, take money home every year, what kind of life is the eldest sister-in-law and Sister Qiu, it's still better than us! ”

Second Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment, and then felt that all her expectations were gone, "What should I do then?" ”

"This money is earned quietly." Second Uncle Mei touched his chin and said, with a loud voice on his face, "You can't ask our mother to know, otherwise, no amount of money will be enough to fill in the old man." ”

"What a way to earn it quietly?" Second Aunt Mei hurriedly asked.

The problem came back to making money, Second Uncle Mei was very impatient, and shook his hand and said: "I just thought, don't bother me, I won't make our family suffer after all!" ”

Aunt Mei didn't dare to ask anymore, so she could only sit on the edge of the kang and sigh aggrievedly, and Mao called her out to cook, but she didn't listen. Taking advantage of Mao's busy work in the small kitchen, she slipped out and walked to Sister Qiu's house.

At this time, Jia Shi and Sister Qiu were busy selling a few water tofu to Darong, and today Lin was indeed empty, and there was a lot more water tofu distributed to these people, and they were all very happy in their hearts, Sister Qiu smiled and said: "There is a little black donkey to grind in the future, and you can make more water tofu, so you don't worry that the water tofu is not enough to sell." ”

Aunt Mei came and no one paid attention to her, but fortunately, she was cheeky enough, and said straight to Jia's family: "Sister-in-law, our mother wants to cook soup, and asked me to ask you for three catties of water tofu." ”

"How many meals are you going to eat?" Jia Shi looked at her in surprise, it's not that she was unwilling to give it, it's just that the Mei family used a few people, where did they use three catties of water tofu for a meal.

Aunt Mei pursed her lips, inconvenient for the three catties of water tofu, look at Jia's stingy and sour appearance!

"Give the second aunt two pounds." Sister Qiu said, and there was no good anger on her face, "There are not many water tofu today." ”

Aunt Mei'er was overjoyed, nodded hurriedly, took advantage of Sister Qiu's time to cut water tofu for her, and went to look at the little black donkey tied to the side with her belly, her eyes were red, and her eyes turned and said: "My sister-in-law has made a fortune, and even the little black donkey has been bought, this time it's okay, in the future, our family will have livestock to work in the field!" ”

Phew! Sister Qiu spit out a mouthful of saliva in disgust, she really deserved to come out with Meitang's family.

"Aunt her, don't stand so close." Jia said, "The donkey has just been bought, and no one knows what his temperament is, but what if it touches you?" ”

Aunt Mei hurriedly took a few steps back in fright.

"Second aunt, the water tofu has been cut for you." Sister Qiu wrapped water tofu with Ye'er and handed it to Aunt Mei'er.

Second Aunt Mei

Seeing that she didn't weigh it, Er suddenly rushed out, "Is this a two-city catty?" Have you weighed it? ”

As soon as these words came out, the Fuzi who came to pick up the water tofu couldn't bear it anymore, frowning and sneering: "Don't be too fece!" "Bai Zhi still dislikes this, he sold the water tofu for such a long time, and naturally he saw that the piece of water tofu cut by Sister Qiu was only a lot more than two catties.

It's one thing to scold Mao, but it's another thing to give Fuzi a faceless sneer, and the horizontal and vertical water tofu is also about to arrive, so Aunt Mei will carry it and leave.
