"Although I have made a little business, I see that I have made a lot of money, but the capital is also large, and the profit is very small, you can rest assured, we will pay back the rest as soon as possible." Jia Shi blushed slightly and explained, she was not good at lying before, and at this moment, she went to coax the villagers who lent money to the Mei family, and she was even more unhappy, but this embarrassed expression fell in the eyes of everyone, and it became a sign of shame that Jia did not fully repay the money, not only did no one scold Jia and Sister Qiu, but the people in the village appreciated their behavior of repaying the money.

So that half of it can be paid back quickly, and the rest is far away? Mrs. Xiucai is a well-known honest person! Even if it doesn't make a lot of money, but it is the money for Qiu Gui'er's little daughter-in-law's helper, there are 20 Wen a day!

"Don't say that!" Furong's sister-in-law said quickly, "We all know that the old Xiucai aunt is a kind person, and she wants to have a good holiday before the festival!" ”

"Eh, eh!" Jia Shi responded with a red face, and when he returned home, he picked up the wrapped meat and fragrant dumplings and sent two catties of water tofu to the family, and his heart was only now steady.

Sister Qiu smiled on the side, her mother's mother in this life is really honest and cute, but it's good to be honest and kind, if there is a mother-in-law like Aunt Mei'er, I don't know how to cry.

However, to the surprise of Jia's and Sister Qiu, each family sent back gifts one after another, most of them were red eggs and pickled salted duck eggs, and Aunt Mancang also gave Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu a small sachet.

"I know that your family is all busy, and there is definitely no time to sew this." Aunt Mancang smiled and said, "Don't think that Auntie is rough in needlework." ”

"What are you talking about?" Jia Shi smiled and said, "Sit down in the middle of the house, Sister Qiu, scoop a bowl of bean juice for your aunt to eat!" ”

"No, no!" Aunt Mancang politely excused herself, glanced into the courtyard, and then said with a smile: "I heard...... How many people does my sister-in-law want to find to help sell water tofu? Look, how about my full warehouse? ”

Jia Shi was stunned, but she didn't expect that her side hadn't started planning yet, and everyone here had come to the door one by one, so she instinctively turned her face and looked at Sister Qiu.

Sister Qiu came over with a bowl of steaming bean juice, handed it to Aunt Mancang, and said with a smile: "As long as Uncle Zhongtang is willing to come!" It's just that my aunt said suddenly, my family is going to sell fragrant rice dumplings in the past two days, but I'm afraid that there won't be so much water tofu to be separated, if Uncle Zhongtang is willing to wait, he will stay until the seventh day of the first month. ”

"Willingly!" Aunt Mancang hurriedly smiled and said, "What's not to be happy about?" Then let's settle it. ”

As soon as Aunt Mancang arrived home, Uncle Zhongtang asked anxiously, "How is it?" ”

"Become!" Aunt Mancang said with a smile, and sighed again: "The old Xiucai lady and her mother are all kind people, eh, I see that they live in the courtyard of the house, all of them are in tatters, and it is difficult for others!" Think about how I used to go to someone's house to make trouble, my face was so panicked, why was I so stupid at that time, listening to the dead woman of the old Fang family chewing her tongue! ”

"Alright, alright!" Uncle Zhongtang persuaded, "What should happen to Mrs. Xiucai's family in the future, let's."

Just help a little more. As for the skewers and his daughter-in-law, hehe, it is estimated that the intestines of the current regret are all green! ”

At first, Fang Laosu had the intention of marriage, but as a result, the donkey and his mother were either poor or the eight sons and five elements of the suspect's family were not good, and now it is too late to regret it.

Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu carefully put the red eggs sent by the villagers in the jar, the chickens at home have not laid eggs yet, and it is estimated that they can not lay eggs until autumn. During this time, the red eggs eaten at home all rely on buying, and the flower fee can be very much, this time it is good, the red eggs sent by the villagers add up to more than 80, and they are placed in the shade, enough to eat for a long time.

"It's the first time in our family that someone has come to give a Boxing gift!" Jia Shi felt nostalgic.

Sister Qiu said with a smile: "This shows that our family's life is good, and people are willing to make friends with us." ”

Jia Shi nodded, she also understood this reason, the etiquette is still exchanged, if they are still as poor and white as when they first separated, they are afraid that no one will come to give gifts, so they said, as a person, only when you are strong, others will look at you and be willing to associate with you. Like her mother-in-law, she is proud of Meiqu making a lot of friends in the town, and she is talking about it every day, "The young masters in the town all look up to the old man!" "I don't know where the confidence comes from.

In the afternoon, several people were all busy with their feet not sticking to the ground, Jia Shi and Li Ailian wrapped fragrant rice dumplings, Sister Qiu and Zhang Yuxiu led Qiu Gui'er to make water tofu, Qiu Gui'er didn't talk much, but he was a diligent and able to make a lot of efforts, and today's water tofu should be distributed to the servants to sell, making more than before.

After the water tofu is pressed, Lin Qu, Darong and Fuzi all came over, out of selfishness, Sister Qiu gave Lin Qu 50 city catties of water tofu, and Darong and Fuzi were forty city catties each. Since Sister Qiu's family and the Jiang family have always been close, Darong and Fuzi have no objections.

During the meal, a few people were finally able to take a breath, tired for a day, and did not have the heart to make much good food, on the wooden table was the pickles brought by Aunt Chunhua, mixed noodles and pancakes and a pot of oily green bean rice porridge.

However, before everyone came and moved the wooden chopsticks, they heard the door knock, and Aunt Mei's voice came from the door, "Sister-in-law, it's me, open the door!" ”

Zhang Yuxiu and Li Ailian listened to Sister Qiu's complaints, and glanced at Jia's family, Zhang Yuxiu also whispered: "Auntie, you shouldn't have opened the door for her yesterday, just take a look, I'll come over as soon as the meal arrives." ”

Jia Shi sighed, she was also soft-hearted yesterday, Aunt Mei is a pregnant woman with a big belly, and she also grew up with a big cow and two cows.

"Don't open the door for her if it's inconvenient, after a while she feels bored and will leave." Li Ailian said softly, "Besides, we didn't do anything good today." ”

Sister Qiu shook her head, got up straight and opened the door, Aunt Mei held her big belly as usual, pulling the big cow with one hand and the second cow with the other, and walked over from the door, complaining as she walked, "Why did you open the door after a long time?" ”

When she walked to the dining table, Aunt Mei'er straightened her eyes, and looked around left and right, and there seemed to be the smell of meat in the air, but it was

On the dinner table, there is pickled thin rice porridge, which ...... It must be the eldest daughter-in-law who has a bad heart, afraid that she and her children will come to eat their meat, so she hides the vegetables!

The more Aunt Mei thought about it, the more angry she became, she pointed to the pickles on the dinner table and asked, "Sister-in-law, are you going to eat this?" ”

Jia Shi nodded, looked at Aunt Mei, and didn't understand what she was angry about, "What's wrong?" ”

The big Niu Erniu standing beside Aunt Mei pulled Aunt Mei's sleeve and shouted: "Mother, I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat!" ”

Aunt Mei angrily gave each of her two sons an ear scrape, and asked Jia's words: "You, didn't you eat a few dishes yesterday!" It's meat and noodles again! ”

"Her aunt, look at what you're talking about." Li Ailian said with a smile, "It's not easy for us to eat a good meal, who has the money to eat meat and fine noodles every day!" Yesterday, it was also to connect me with Yuxiu, so that you happened to run into it. ”

In the eyes of others, this is for Aunt Mei's second aunt, but in the eyes of Aunt Mei, Li Ailian is Jia's own sister, and she is naturally on the same front as Jia's, which is to find excuses for Jia's to cover up, and then talk about it, Jia's is the daughter-in-law of the Mei family, and if there is good food, she should also be given to the "hero" who is pregnant with the male labor of the Mei family. Second Aunt Mei came up angrily, "Who are you coaxing?" When I'm a 3-year-old? ”

Second Aunt Mei looked coldly, pointed at Sister Qiu and said, "The little girl has less work, and the entire Mei family counts you as the most ghost-eyed son!" I just shouted for a long time before I came to open the door for me, what are you doing for a long time? Are you afraid that our mothers will eat your dishes, are you hiding the dishes? Put a bowl of pickles here, who are you coaxing? ”

As soon as these words came out, Jia didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh, look at Aunt Mei'er, a pregnant woman with a big belly, and it was not easy to deal with her, only pretending not to listen, the courtyard was wafting with the smell of meat, but it was the meat that made fragrant dumplings, and Jia's was too lazy to explain to an unreasonable person like Aunt Mei, if it was explained, people would scold her for not sending fragrant dumplings to the Mei family.

"Second daughter-in-law, go back first." Jia really didn't want to quarrel with her, they rested on the kang for a day, and several of them worked hard all day, but they didn't have the same good life as Aunt Mei'er.

Seeing that Jia's didn't reply, Aunt Mei'er felt that Jia's heart was empty, and she was even more energetic, yesterday I ate the dishes from the eldest daughter-in-law's house, it was really delicious to swallow all the tongue, but those dishes were not enough for her and her two sons to eat, and after two bites, she couldn't sit still all day, and when it was time to eat, she hurriedly pulled her two sons over, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat it in her mouth when it was late.

"I'm not leaving!" Aunt Mei shouted, there was a wisp of "If you don't give me good food, I'll rely on this".

In this time, Uncle Lin, who had previously carried water tofu from Sister Qiu's house, Darong and Fuzi came back one after another, because Mrs. Lao Xiucai was a widow's family, Uncle Lin and Darong came over accompanied by Chunhua and Qiu Gui'er, and they happened to listen to Aunt Mei'er's angry roar.

"What's going on here?" Aunt Chunhua asked.

Second Aunt Mei saw that there were many people, and she deliberately wanted the eldest lady to make an ugly appearance in front of everyone, so she hurriedly said loudly: "You give a comment, we, who are younger brothers and sisters, are nephews and come to my sister-in-law's house, and they hide all the good dishes they make, for fear that we will look at and eat her, is there such a sister-in-law?" ”

"Where did you just watch us hide the food?" Li Ailian said, compared to the vulgar and spicy, she does not lose to Aunt Mei, but because Aunt Mei is a pregnant woman, she is not willing to worry more about her, and at this moment, seeing that she wants to make trouble, she is also annoyed, "We are poor, we don't have money to eat big river fish and meat, why, you can't eat meat and don't complain about your man's incompetence, and in turn think that your sister-in-law is poor, is this reasonable?" ”
