The spittle that Aunt Mei said was flying sideways, filled with righteousness and indignation, and the neatness of the family division, regardless of the money in Mao's hands, it was Mei Laoxiu who earned it back.

"What's the family?" Second Uncle Mei said, "The old man has not yet started a family, that is, he has split the family, and the old lady is also following us, and the most important thing is to divide Sister Qiu and the eldest sister-in-law, and there is no land, what do orphans and widows take to repay their debts, and those who borrow our money will not be happy." "There is another point he didn't say, the eldest sister-in-law is a person who can do it, a woman can be worth a strong laborer, and there is no one to share the work in the field, so he will work hard, and he is the one who suffers.

This is also not okay, that is also not okay, Aunt Mei and Second Uncle Mei sat on the kang with their stomachs back to back, and they looked at the family more and more unpleasantly.

When Mei Yindi entered the house, Sister Qiu came out of the east room and went to Lin Zhun's house with a brisk pace.

On the contrary, she can understand Mei Yindi's thoughts, at the age when her love first opened, there was an excellent offspring next to her, and it was difficult to be tempted.

Da Yin stood by the gate to greet her, dragged her into the Jiang family's hall, and complained softly, "Sister Qiu, why did you come here?" ”

Aunt Chunhua and Lin Zhun were all sitting in the hall, and there was a porcelain bowl on the wooden table in the hall, with water in the bowl and three white eggs.

After the eggs are cooked, put them in cold water, and the eggshells can be peeled a little.

"It's ready, I'll wait for you to come." Aunt Chunhua said with a smile.

Sister Qiu smiled and said to Aunt Chunhua, "Thank you, Auntie." After thinking about it, he reminded the Jiang family of Jue, and then said to Dayin: "Originally, you called me, and I came out, but Sister Yindi asked me to bring her over, I thought that the eggs were not enough, so I didn't bring her over, and Sister Yindi also gave birth to me so much." ”

The smile on Aunt Chunhua's face was much less, she looked at Lin Zhun, nodded and said with a smile: "Next time, there are too many boiled eggs, so call her over." "Next time? No way! Nizi is 13 years old, and she is about to get married, so don't even think about entering her house, and don't think about Xiao thinking about her son!

Sister Qiu saw that Aunt Chunhua understood what she meant, so she took the egg and went back, saying that she would go back and share it with her mother, and Aunt Chunhua praised her for a while. Lin Zhun saw that Sister Qiu's face was all praised to her own mother-in-law, and she looked at it with a smile on the side, and all said that Sister Qiu had become bold when she came back, and he felt that this little lady was still the same as before, and her face was thin and shy.

After returning to the east house where she lived with Jia's, Sister Qiu peeled the skin and shared it with Jia's to eat, and brought the snake skin hidden under the kang at noon to Jia's to see, listening to Sister Qiu say that this can be sold for money, Jia's was very surprised, and she was suspicious of the letter, in previous years, she saw a lot in the field of land, and she never knew that this thing could be exchanged for money.

The red eggshell that the two of them peeled off was carefully hidden in Jia's sleeve, and when he went to work in the field in the afternoon, he secretly threw it into the river, and when he touched a few people, they all boasted to her that the old Xiucai daughter was amazing, and the doctor in the school city pulled the donkey back from the gate of the underworld, so that she was surprised and delighted, and she could only nod her head.

After dinner, Uncle Mei couldn't sit still after returning to the west side room, and went to the hall to find Mao's family.

Mao sat there, lit the oil lamp for the first time in the new year, the dim light of the bean size could only illuminate a small part of the universal space around Mao's, pouted and said: "I know, you think I am eccentric, your third brother is different from your eldest brother, I see that he has a great future, and he will go down the examination room the next year. It's a little hard now, when the old man is admitted to the old Xiucai, and then he will be promoted to a member of life, and he will become an official in the future. ”

Mei Lao Er is her son, Mao's attitude is very good, if her daughter-in-law dares to come here to ask, Mao will definitely scold the person who came to squirt blood.

Mao's talk is frivolous, the future is bright, Mei Lao Er's anger is terrible, at first the boss studied so well, and after the exam, he was only an old showman, and he was still for the old man to take the exam? All the money in the family is left to the old man, what should he do? In a few years, the big bull wants to raise the matchmaker, who is willing to marry a lady?

"Mother, what do you say now, what should I do if people come to ask for debts? Sister Qiu, you are not willing to sell, a girl is really a treasure? What about the big cow and the second cow? That's your own grandson! Second Uncle Mei shouted.

After finishing his work in the small kitchen, Jia came out, listened to the voice of Second Uncle Mei in the hall, and returned to the east room silently. At night, Jia listened to the steady sound of the girl beside her after falling asleep, and she couldn't sleep, and the foreign debt of a few taels of silver was pressed on her heart like a mountain, and she was out of breath, and her spirit was about to collapse.

"Mother, why don't you sleep yet?" Sister Qiu woke up with the sound of Jia Shi turning and sighing, rubbing her eyes and asking.

Jia Shi didn't expect to wake up the girl, and hurriedly said: "Sleep, sleep immediately." ”

Sister Qiu put her arm around Jia's arm and said, "Mother, let's go to the town and have a look." "Maybe my son can find a way to make money, and it is best to earn enough money to pay back the money owed by Lao Xiucai's father for his posthumous affairs, so that he can expect to take the Jia family out of the Mei family.

The closest town to Xiaohe Town, where Sister Qiu is located, is Jiujiang Town, and it takes a quarter of an hour to walk, and the place where Sister Qiu sells her to work is the city that governs Xiaohe Town, Huyang City, Huyang City is even farther away from Xiaohe Town, and it takes an hour or two to get there by car.

There is not much work in the field now, but if the Jia family wants to leave the work at hand and go to the town, there must be a reason to explain to the Mao family, that is, to go to the town to see Sister Qiu's uncle. No matter how unreasonable the mother-in-law is, she can't stop her daughter-in-law from going to see her mother's eldest brother. Although Mao was not happy that Jia returned to his mother's house, every time Jia went back to the town to see his eldest brother, he could always bring back one or two return gifts empty-handed, a bag of sucrose or a bag of sugar slots or something, decent and good-looking, worth several copper plates.

Hearing that Jia's said that he was going to the town, Mao's was not very happy to "en", but he couldn't help but habitually squeeze Jia's a few words, "Your brother is a rich man, he opens a shop in the town to do business, and gives your man to do his funeral, and he will pay two dollars, is he your brother?" ”

Jia's face couldn't hold back, and he lowered his head and pulled Sister Qiu out, Sister Qiu crooked her mouth gloomily, it was the dead of the Mei family and the dead of the Li family, and it was already benevolent and righteous to give two pieces of money, and the Rong family was so rich, and only gave a hanging of money. The Mao family is a delicate and unreasonable child, could it be that even the eldest brother of the Jia family's mother should be like the old Xiucai's father, and he will die for the Mei family? Have the ability to go to the door of Rong's house and scold.

Out of the door of the Mei family, Sister Qiu obviously noticed that Jia's pace was much brisker than before, and in the Mei family, looking at the faces of the Mao family and the second child of the Mei family all day long, the whole Jia family was sad and depressed, and walked out of the Mei family, as if out of the shackles.

The day is still early, the sun has not yet come out completely, the sky in the east is a red cloud, there are already diligent rural people in the fields who wear hats and carry iron plowshares to the ground, the early ripening cauliflower flowers have bloomed a lot, and the tender yellow dotted by the stars is dotted in the oil and blue fields, which is very beautiful.

When passing through a slope, Sister Qiu noticed that dozens of large and small graves had risen under the slope, Jia Shi pulled Sister Qiu's palm and stopped, sighed, pointed to a grave in the distance and said, "Sister Qiu, that is your father's grave, do you remember?" In a few days, it will be clear, and it is time to go to your father's grave. ”

There are a lot of graves in the distance, overgrown with weeds, in the morning mist, Sister Qiu can't tell which one is on Jia's finger, some graves have not erected monuments, and some graves have erected monuments, the graves of Lao Xiucai's father should be among those graves that have erected monuments, whether it is an old Xiucai, and the grave can not be too shabby.

Jia Shi only pointed in a hurry, and then walked forward quickly with Sister Qiu, as if he was not happy to look more. On the stall of this kind of superb phoenix male husband, no matter how much affection between the couple is gone.

When she got out of Xiaohe Town, Sister Qiu said to Jia's family: "Mother, let's go around the town, look for the medicine hall to see if we can sell the snake skin, and then don't go to my uncle's house, it's not good to look empty-handed." "For many years, the Jia family went to the uncle's father's house, and there were no decent gifts, and all the money in the family was in the hands of the Mao family, so the Mao family could not give Jia money to ask her to go to her mother's relatives, in Mao's eyes, the daughters-in-law and children are all from the Mei family, why take the Mei family's money to give gifts to the Li family, that is eating inside and out! As for the Li family's uncle's return gift to the Jia family, shouldn't it be natural?

Jia Shi came to the door with his empty hands, and came back with things, the face of the eldest uncle and mother was already not good-looking, and it was disgusting to go again.

Hearing Sister Qiu say this, Jia's heart was uncomfortable, she didn't want to come to see her sister-in-law's face, go to the eldest brother's house, it doesn't look good empty-handed, don't go, her father and mother are all gone, and if she doesn't leave the eldest brother's family, I'm afraid that she will be cut off, she will really become a person without a mother's family.

"Go to the door of your uncle's store and take a look at your uncle's father, and then leave, let's not take the things of your uncle's house." Jia preached, and also made up his mind. She cheekily accepted the gift given by her eldest brother, and also saved the meaning of pleasing Mao, no son Mao was extremely dissatisfied with her, she could take some cane sugar pastries back, and Mao's face was somewhat better for her.

This time, the Jia family made up her mind, she wanted to be tough, she didn't take the things of the eldest brother's family, and the old Xiucai was also dead, and the Mao family scolded and scolded, she suffered it all, as long as Sister Qiu could grow up safely, she would have no other thoughts.

Since Sister Qiu came to this world, it is the first time to walk such a long road, Jia is used to doing farm work, striding forward under her feet, walking with the wind and flying fast, Sister Qiu reluctantly followed, walked for almost an hour, and the two entered Jiujiang Town.

Different from the crop household dwelling model in Xiaohe Town, where three or five houses and courtyards are gathered together, the houses in Jiujiang Town are all blue brick houses, although they are not atmospheric, they can be bright and neat, and they are many times better than the farmhouses built up of reeds and grass and soil. There are many stalls on the street, selling steamed buns and fried fruits, selling candy people's snacks, selling cloth and gouache, this time is the most crowded time, and the street is very bustling and lively.

Jia is afraid that Sister Qiu will be separated, and has always pulled Sister Qiu's palm tightly, Sister Qiu looked at the lively street markets on both sides, a little dizzying, Jia also thought that she had been in the countryside for a long time, looking at such a lively market for a while, but Sister Qiu, who did not know, had always been thinking about how to earn five taels and pay off the family's foreign debts.

There are many people around this stall, it is a seller of baked cakes, Sister Qiu tiptoed and looked, and then shook her head, the palm skills of making pancakes are important, and it is difficult to make bad ideas. Besides, they don't have the capital to ask the two of them to explore.

"Want to eat pancakes?" In the morning, when Mao heard that she was going to the eldest brother's house in the town, she didn't even want her to eat breakfast with Sister Qiu, so she asked them to go out, Sister Qiu was hungry and wanted to eat baked cakes, and she couldn't even buy a baked cake for her daughter.

Sister Qiu shook her head, she didn't want to eat pancakes, she wanted to eat meat! At Mei's house, I ate coarse noodles, not to mention that I couldn't eat enough, and I didn't even have some oil stars in the meal. In the 21st century, people pay attention to eating coarse noodles, eating less oil, and maintaining health. Now she just wants to eat meat, and she eats braised pork that is thick and flavorful, and she didn't want to see it at all in her previous life! If you don't have braised pork, you can also use big meat buns. In her previous life, when she ate a work meal, she also picked out the fat and meat in the dish and threw it aside. Heaven saw that she had wasted food and punished her for sinning in this place.

Seeing that the girl was desperately swallowing saliva, and she said that she didn't want to eat, she was really a good child who understood things, even if she was greedy, she didn't mess with her, Jia's heart ached, and she pulled Sister Qiu forward.

Sister Qiu walked all the way and looked at it, selling a lot of other things, but she didn't look at the stall selling soybean sprouts and water tofu, could it be that there was no water tofu in this strange space? Thinking about this, Sister Qiu's heart beat rapidly, and it is not enough, there is sweet sauce when eating at home, this is soybean paste fermented from soybeans, the technology is mature, all the soybean sauce has come out, and the water tofu has not yet appeared.

"Mother, why didn't you look at the water tofu on this episode?" Sister Qiu asked.

Jia Shi smiled and walked forward with Sister Qiu's palm, "What's the matter, you want to eat water tofu?" Didn't you quit eating before? We make less water tofu, and the water tofu tastes astringent, and I heard that the water in our Huyang is different from the water in other locations, and the water tofu made is not as delicious as other places. ”
