"Second uncle, what is the matter with you? You've just said something big, what's going on? If it's all right, I'll close the door. We started grinding beans in the middle of the night, which was more leisurely than the second uncle. As she spoke, Sister Qiu yawned a lot.

At the moment when Sister Qiu stretched out her palm to close the small door, Mei Tang stretched out her palm to stop it, and under the light of the torch, Mei Tang's face was very gloomy, "Wait!" Sister Qiu, it's really a big deal! You're sick, you're sick! ”

"Huh?!" Sister Qiu was surprised, "I'm sick?" How did you get sick? What's wrong? ”

Without waiting for Mei Tang to open his mouth, Xiao Xu, who was standing next to Sister Qiu, pulled Sister Qiu's shirt, he was short, and there was a door blocking him standing next to Sister Qiu, and Mei Tang couldn't look at him.

"What's the matter?" Sister Qiu asked him with her lips.

Xiao Xu whispered in Sister Qiu's ear: "I heard Da Yin say that your grandmother and your second aunt quarreled so much at noon, he didn't eat any good lunch, and the ears that shook the two of them were all ringing. ”

Sister Qiu nodded clearly, without Jia's work, neither of them is diligent people, so it's strange if they don't make noise. When he came back from Mao's and asked them to go home, he hated Sister Qiu and Jia's family, even if they touched on the road, they also wanted to turn their faces away, and spat fiercely on the ground, pointing at the weeds next to the road, all of which could be pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and scolded Sister Jia's Qiu. Can a "vigorous" person like Mao get sick?

"Where do I know what's wrong? Please Lang Zhong can see it. Mei Tang said.

"Then why didn't you invite Lang Zhong to the second uncle? What are you doing at my house? My mother and I are not Langzhong. "Sister Qiu preached without being salty.

Mei Tang sighed, "Sister Qiu, please spend some money?" What is the situation in our family, you are not clear? Where is the money to give you milk and invite Langzhong! ”

Sister Qiu had an alarm bell in her heart, look, after talking about it for a long time, she finally got to the point!

Seeing that Sister Qiu was silent, Mei Tang hurriedly said: "Sister Qiu, the second uncle also knows what the situation of your family is, although you have separated from your mother, we are still a family, and you are still surnamed Mei!" He said that the second uncle should not be looking for you and your mother, but isn't there no way? Your grandmother is an elder, and the elder's affairs are bigger than the sky! No one can look at your milk lying on the kang and getting sick! As she spoke, Mei Tang waved her palm and said awe-inspiringly: "You can't be the master of this matter, you go and call your mother over, I'll tell her!" ”

Sister Qiu frowned.

Mei Tang is not a smart person, in essence, he is a lazy farmer, relying on him alone, he can't think of any smart tricks, and when he comes back to their house to carry water, it is estimated that it is also a strategy from Erniu. Now he is running in the middle of the night to say that he is sick and asks for money to invite Langzhong, and the discerning person sees that it is fake and comes to cheat money.

Therefore, he asked Jia Shi to come out, it was because he saw that Jia Shi was pure, cowardly, and thin-skinned in his heart, and he screamed like this, Jia Shi definitely couldn't wipe his face, gave him money, and couldn't give less.

But Sister Qiu felt that she couldn't give this money, and she was not willing to give it. Why, at first, they all wanted to sell

lost her for money, and now she has worked hard to earn money, and she still has to be filial to them? Don't be funny, repaying grievances with virtue is not so noble. What's more, this time, Mei Tang tasted the sweetness, and looked for all kinds of excuses to ask for money on both sides for the next three days, so what should I do? Although Mei Tang doesn't have any scheming, she is thick enough to do anything.

"Second uncle, who are you fooling?" Sister Qiu said with a smile, "My milk is so good, why did I suddenly get sick?" At noon, I heard people say that my grandmother is talking loudly! Besides, if my grandmother is really sick, why don't you go to the town to invite Lang Zhong to my house? ”

Mei Tang was anxious and angry, slapped the door vigorously, and muttered loudly: "Didn't you talk about it, I don't have money to invite Lang Zhong!" If the second uncle is rich, can he still watch you sick? Hurry, tell your mother to kiss up, your milk is sick is a big thing. It's not that the second uncle scares you, your milk is sick, your mother goes to serve in front of you, if your mother is not filial, no one in our village can spare your mother! ”

Who are you scared of? When she was still the original timid and cowardly Sister Qiu? Sister Qiu laughed sarcastically, putting aside how the Mao family treated her and the Jia family, the Mao family still has a husband, a son and a daughter-in-law, the Mao family is sick, and the serious son does not take care of it, but instead goes to the door of the widowed sister-in-law who they separated, who is the reason?

They went to take a look, and even if the etiquette was fulfilled, no one could fault it.

"That's it, second uncle, you go to the town first to invite Lang Zhong, it's important to give me a milk." Sister Qiu preached, she had made up her mind and would never go out tonight.

"You little rabbit, can't you be deaf?" Mei Tang ran out patiently, jumped to his feet and said, "Grandpa, I have no money, how can I invite Lang Zhong if I don't have money?" ”

Sister Qiu hadn't said a word yet, and Xiao Xu on the side was so angry that she couldn't bear it anymore, and she said loudly one by one: "You don't scold people!" Sister Qiu is a good person. It's not okay for your mother's relatives to be sick, you don't go to your mother's relatives to ask her for medical advice, it's unfilial, and you run to the widow's sister-in-law's door at night and scream, bullying the weak, it's unjust! ”

Xiao Xu was the first time, and the things that Master Jue taught him were useful, at least it was quite useful to scold this annoying second uncle.

Even if Mei Tang is uneducated, he can probably understand what people are scolding him, he crosses his waist and looks into the doorway, and asks scoldingly: "Where is this little rabbit cub?" Where do you have children? ”

Sister Qiu said vaguely: "It's a child from my uncle's house." Second uncle, I won't say much to you, my mother is not comfortable tonight, my mother will take care of her. You hurry up and ask for a man for my milk, don't delay my milk's illness. Lang Zhong is all sick and then give a consultation fee, last time my Aunt Chunhua invited from the town, all of them are like this. ”

As she spoke, Sister Qiu stretched out her palm and slammed the door shut. However, immediately, Sister Qiu opened the door again, and said to Mei Tang on the side of the door with a smile: "Second uncle, I just forgot to tell you. There are two medical halls in the town, and I am very familiar with my mother and mother in Langzhong there, you can identify the place, don't be blinded.

After you invited Lang Zhong, you called me over, I was here, all of them were acquaintances, and he was determined to give me a good milk. After speaking, he closed the door hole again.

She almost forgot, at first they found two people to pretend to be Langzhong, if Mei Tang also thought of this trick, and joined forces with the "fake Langzhong", the lion would be tired of opening his mouth to ask for the consultation fee, and the prevention would be better than the first.

Mei Tang angrily stomped on the door panel, stood by the door and scolded for a long time, and no one paid attention to him anymore, so he just went home in a daze, all of them scolded Jia Shi and Sister Qiu for losing their conscience in their black eyes, and they didn't care about the old man when he was sick.

Jia Shi stood by the door with his clothes draped, his face full of worry, and asked, "What's the matter?" It's all night, and no one is in peace. ”

Sister Qiu shook her head and said, "I said that my milk was sick, and I asked for money to invite Langzhong." It's just that I see, it's not like that. ”

Jia Shi hesitated, and discussed with Sister Qiu: "Your second uncle and father have all come over to talk about it, are we ...... Is it yes, go back and take a look? "Although the family has been separated, she is still the eldest daughter-in-law of the old Mei family, and Sister Qiu is still the granddaughter of the Mei family. In the end, orphans and widows live independently of each other, and they lack confidence and are afraid of gossiping.

"Mother, are we still doing business tomorrow?" Sister Qiu asked, I went to Mei's house, I don't know when I can come back, and I won't be able to get up in the middle of the night.

As soon as the idea was mentioned, the Jia family didn't have such a dilemma, debt was a heavy burden on her and Sister Qiu's hearts, and nothing was more important than earning money to pay off debts.

"Then, let's wait until we come back tomorrow to take a look." Jia preached.

Sister Qiu shook her head and said: "I don't have to look at it tomorrow, the second uncle is desperately raising money, saying that he didn't ask Lang Zhong for money, not to mention the rest, my second aunt has so many jewelry, and she is on her head every day, why is there no money?" Even if someone gossips, he can't say that we are not. I asked my second uncle what my grandmother was sick, and he couldn't tell me one, two, three, if he was really sick, what symptoms would always be finished! It must be pretended, just ask us to pay, if we go, we will not be allowed to fall into their way! ”

Jia Shi nodded quietly, now she listens to her daughter, and what her daughter says is what she says.

Li Ailian shook her head and sighed: "The Mei family is really dark-hearted, you are a little good to see it, you are still carrying such heavy debts, why do you still ask for money?" ”

Sister Qiu laughed sarcastically, if after the separation, Mei Tang and Mao can settle down, she really doesn't care how much to take care of, in the end, it is a relative, and it is not good for them to have a reputation like an enemy, but Mei Tang and Mao have to scrape oil and water from them, then I'm sorry, she won't give anything.

Xiao Xu pulled Sister Qiu's palm, very slightly resentful of the same enemy, and said angrily: "Sister, let's go find someone to beat him, and he will be honest!" ”

Sister Qiu couldn't help but smile when she saw him pursing his lips and puffing out his bun face, shaved his face, and said with a smile: "Who are you looking for?" He's my second pro

Uncle, if I beat him up, it will be a great annoyance. ”

Xiao Xu pouted, he didn't expect such annoyance.

Before going to bed, Sister Qiu thought about it and said to Xiao Xu: "The things in this world are gone, not all things...... No, most things can't be dealt with with by beating them up, and you can only make things worse, and if you do it first, you will lose. It's like your father beating you, do you hate him very much? ”

This dead boy has a violent father, and his thoughts are all showing signs of crooked village chief, so he hurriedly pulled him back.

Xiao Xu nodded for a long time, thinking to himself, although Sister Qiu didn't know as much as him, but Li'er was still good, his father beat him, but he didn't beat things badly.

The next day, Jia's and Li Ailian went out to sell bean curds and water tofu, and by the way, they also inquired from a few regular customers, and there was no little boy around here who ran away. I asked several people, all of them didn't understand, but they all talked about it, and after I went back, I helped them inquire, and Jia's was relieved at this point, although Xiaoxu always said that his father beat him, but it didn't hurt if the child of any family lost it!

When Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu came over with a small preface, they found that the water tofu sold much better next day than before, and an aunt asked for ten catties of water tofu in one breath, saying that the wheat at home was ripe, and the wheat would start to cut tomorrow, and there was no time to come to the market.

"Sister-in-law, it's hot today, you buy so much and go back, I'm afraid that it will be broken tomorrow." Jia Shi persuaded.

The eldest aunt was also a little hesitant and said, "I can put it in the deep well for two more days." ”

"That's not okay." Sister Qiu shook her head and said, "Auntie, if you eat the water tofu you bought that day, if you eat it when the farm is busy, it will also delay things!" You still buy two catties and go back to eat well today. ”

The eldest aunt looked at Sister Qiu and smiled, rubbed her hands and said with a smile: "People do business all hate, and they want buyers to buy as much as possible. Okay, I'll buy three catties, there are many children in the family, one can be eaten, and three catties of water tofu will also eat a meal! ”

Sister Qiu smiled and weighed her three catties of water tofu, cut a small piece as an additive, and wrapped her son in the bamboo basket of the eldest aunt, smiled sweetly, and said, "Auntie will come to buy it tomorrow!" ”

The eldest aunt shook her head and said, "I will cut wheat tomorrow, where can I have time to come to the market to buy water tofu?" Many people in our village all love to eat your water tofu, and they often come to the market every three or five days to buy water tofu, and when they are busy cutting wheat, they don't even have the time to cook, and they don't have time to buy if they want to eat! ”

When the guests left, Li Ailian said: "This is the same, I will go back with Yuxiu to look at the land at home in two days, and it is estimated that there will be fewer people rushing to the market." Sister Qiu, is this idea a two-day stop? ”

Sister Qiu thought for a while and said, "I think, if you sell water tofu these days, it will definitely sell even better." ”

Although water tofu is only sold for two cents a pound, it can be cropped

Most families have their own vegetable gardens, and they are not lazy, so they don't have to spend money on vegetables to eat as long as they take care of them a little. Crop households are accustomed to saving, they can buy it without spending any money, and although there are many people who buy water tofu, not all people buy water tofu to eat every day. However, when the farming season is busy, no matter how bad the family conditions are, they will not pick the door on the food, if the food is not good, the work is not strong, it will affect the harvest.

"If we can take the water tofu to their village and sell it, it will definitely sell well, and those who have no money can exchange wheat and beans for all of it!" Sister Qiu preached. Previously, her father rode a big bicycle of the Erqi style to various villages to sell water tofu and save the first pot of gold.

Jia nodded, this method is good, the Zhuang family is not rushing to the market every day, like the Mei family, so they don't want their daughter-in-law to go out to catch the market, but they are afraid that their daughter-in-law will spend more money. If you can take the water tofu to the door of someone's house, you can also exchange the food produced by yourself for the water tofu, and you will definitely not worry about selling it.
