After saying that, I feel sorry for my daughter, pitiful, no wonder I am so intimate and sensible these days, it is estimated that the child's family has never seen the world, I am afraid that my father and mother will not like me, and I will force myself to change my temperament.

Thinking about it like this, Mrs. Li took back the copper coin, took out a piece of broken silver with her backhand, pinched it into Mei Xiaotong's palm, and whispered: "Mother knows that Xiaotong has been wronged these days, take it, and go buy the silver hairpin belt you just said another day!" ”

After speaking, he looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, he straightened his face, walked two steps outside, and turned back to explain: "Don't say anything after you go back!" ”

Mei Xiaotong was left speechless and looked at the piece of broken silver in her palm that was one or two heavy, the conscience of heaven and earth, she really wanted to talk to Mrs. Li and deepen the relationship between mother and daughter, not to cheat more pocket money!

Catching up with Mrs. Li and wanting to return it, looking at the increasing number of people around, Mei Xiaotong wisely hid the silver and did not continue the topic.

Look at the sky, it was already noon, Mrs. Li pulled Mei Xiaotong to find a noodle stall at the entrance of the town, and ordered two bowls of vegetarian noodle soup.

Mei Xiaotong This is the first time to eat outside meals, carefully observed, the noodle stall is not big, it is a husband and wife stall, the craftsmanship is only average, the noodle soup is turbid, the noodles are not strong, some are cooked, but the amount is enough, the noodle soup can be refilled for free.

The business is not bad, and there are many people who bring their own buns and spend a lot of money, and they can just have a noodle soup with a few slices of green onions floating in it, and they can also mix a full stomach.

After lunch, back to the place where Fang just got off, almost all the people in Lingshan Village have already gathered here, after all, the mountain road is far away, and it is safer for more people.

Mrs. Li's sale of jade mushrooms is not a big town, everyone has known about it for a long time, and some people have seen the mother and daughter enter the restaurant and come out with a smile, and they all guess that they must have sold a lot of money.

Looking at Mei Xiaotong's mother and daughter, their eyes were full of envy.

There was a person who thought he had a good relationship with the Mei family and asked: "Aunt Li, I heard that you are selling jade mushrooms today?" It was also sold to a restaurant in town? It's a lot of money, isn't it? ”

Mrs. Li knew that she couldn't hide it, and she had a lot of eyes to look at it, so she deliberately put on an understatement: "Well, a few days ago, our family Xiaotong was lucky, and I took a few small ones to find a little in the mountains, and today I took advantage of the market, we have no way, I don't know who to sell to, or our family Xiaotong is smart, find the restaurant, just the restaurant shopkeeper received this, and sold it, otherwise it will be a trip in vain today." ”

"Aunt Li, I see that your back basket is half a small section, I'm afraid it's at least half a catty, right? I'm afraid I'll have to sell it for two or three taels of silver, right? I see that you have generously cut a few catties of pork today, and it is different if you really made a fortune--"

"What's the matter, it's just that the children in the family are greedy, and everyone has worked hard these days to buy some meat to supplement the family--" Mrs. Li denied it.

But no one believes it, seeing that Mrs. Li's face is full of spring breeze, and the back basket is full, thinking that it is because she has sold a lot of money to dare to buy so many things.

There is that shrewd, and began to look at Mei Xiaotong, the second daughter of the Mei family, she is lazy to eat and do it on weekdays, but she didn't expect that the blessing is good, others go to the mountains, and they can't touch a jade mushroom for a few years, but she has found a lot.

If it is really so blessed, it is no wonder that Mrs. Li spoils this old girl so much.

Along the way, Mrs. Li was in high spirits, and everyone surrounded her, knocking on the side to find where it is easier to pick jade mushrooms, and whether there are any tricks and other questions.

How did Mrs. Li know that she had gone up the mountain countless times in her life, and she had never touched this jade mushroom once, how could she have the experience to teach it?

Not to mention, this kind of good thing, really experienced, don't keep your own silence to make a fortune, but also tell others? I'm not stupid!

Therefore, he never mentioned it, but only said that his old daughter was lucky and blessed, and this kind of precious thing can only be encountered by blessed people.

Someone saw that she couldn't ask anything from Mrs. Li, so she turned to Mei Xiaotong, who was silent, and felt that this little girl was thin-skinned, maybe she could get it out in two sentences.

If it was Mei Xiaotong in the past, she might have really been fooled by three or two sentences, but now Mei Xiaotong, no matter how others ask, she only pretends to be stupid, and when she asks in a hurry, she says that she doesn't know, so she casually goes up the mountain and walks around, and she meets it.

The person who talks the trick will vomit upside down.

It was also lively all the way, and before I knew it, I returned to the village.

At the entrance of the village, the two brothers Xiaojuan and Tianbao waited here early, looking at the mountain road with their eyes open, waiting for the milk and the aunt to come back from cutting meat.

I saw a figure coming from the side of the mountain road from a distance, especially the size of the old lady, which was particularly eye-catching among a bunch of people, and I saw it at first sight.

The two little beans, Sa Yazi ran over, ran closer, and saw the smile on Mrs. Li's face, as well as the heavy back basket on her back, she had a number in her heart.

cheered, circling around Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong.

didn't dare to ask Mrs. Li, so she pulled Mei Xiaotong and didn't let go: "Auntie, auntie, have you cut the meat?" ”

Mei Xiaotong nodded, on the way back, I took half of the ox cart, and the owner of the second half of the car met someone who wanted to rent an ox cart, everyone is a villager, of course, it can't hinder people from making money, even Mrs. Li didn't care because she was in a good mood because she made money today.

After walking back half the way, Mei Xiaotong felt that her two legs were not her own.

I don't even think it's hard to talk, so I just want to go home and lie down and relax.

Xiao Douding saw Mei Xiaotong nodding and confirmed that after cutting the meat and going home, he was extremely excited, so he naturally ignored his face and only pestered Mei Xiaotong: "Auntie, auntie, is it fun to go to the market?" ”

"Auntie, auntie, is it a big fat cut?"

"Auntie, will you take me with you next time you go to the market?"

"Take me, take me--"

……

Mei Xiaotong only felt that her brain was about to explode, rubbed her forehead, and only when she opened her mouth did she hear Mrs. Li's angry scolding.

"Unconscious little bunny, what's the noise? Didn't you see that your aunt was tired? Just think about eating, eating, eating! Is the old lady lacking you to eat, or is she hungry for you? It's only been a few days since I've had a good face, and I'm going to go to the house to uncover the tiles, right? Eyeless things, I came back from the market with your aunt so hard, didn't you see us carrying things? Are you good-looking with long eyes? Don't know how to take things? Why did you raise a group of people who only know how to eat white rice! ”

Tianbao and Xiaojuan are used to being scolded, and they don't feel ashamed, anyway, it's good to have meat to eat, and they don't lose a piece of meat after being scolded by milk.

Mei Zizi took the back basket on Mrs. Li's back and almost jumped back home.

Because the work in the fields was almost busy, and they were also worried about the results of Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong's rush to the market, everyone tacitly called it a day and went home early.

Xiaoque was taking Xiao Duo in the yard, and heard the laughter of Tianbao and Xiaojuan from a distance, poked his head out to look, and saw the two brothers carrying the basket to their homes, followed by Milk and Auntie?

Hurriedly said to the yard: "Grandma and my aunt are back!" ”

He rushed out of the hospital to meet him.

When Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong entered the door, they saw a few little beans around the back basket, looking at them with blank eyes, and they didn't dare to reach out to uncover the coarse cloth covered.

Wen had already prepared two large bowls of warm water, handed them to Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong, and called hot water to let the two of them freshen up.

The family gathered in the hall, waiting for Mrs. Li to share the results.

As soon as the coarse cloth covering the back basket was removed, the sharp eyes saw a large piece of fat and evenly weighted pork belly, as well as a large bone.

Suddenly, everyone had a smile on their faces, this is real meat.

A few small ones didn't hold back, secretly swallowing saliva, reluctant to look away.

Or did Zhou quietly swallow his saliva before asking tentatively: "Mother, have all the jade mushrooms been sold?" Sold for a lot of money, right? This meat must weigh two catties, and it is estimated that it will cost dozens of dollars. ”

Mrs. Li's face darkened, she put the pork back into the basket, and scolded with her head: "If you have meat to eat, you can't stop your X mouth?" How much does it cost to sell and what does it have to do with your fart? It's not the mushrooms you picked, you can be stained with your sister-in-law's light, and you should be content with eating two pieces of meat at night, which is also what you deserve to ask? ”

Zhou's grievance, why shouldn't he ask? She had already planned in her heart, this jade mushroom could be sold for at least two or three taels of silver, plus what the old couple had in their hands, it should be more than enough to build a new house for the two brothers, Tianlong and Tianhu.

In the countryside, it costs less to build a house, so ask someone to help and take care of two meals.

When the new house is built, they will work hard for another year, and the chewing of Tianlong's daughter-in-law will come out.

Over the years, the two of them, plus the two brothers Tianlong and Tianhu, worked hard in the field, and all year round, all the income went into the pocket of the mother-in-law.

The man is honest, the mother-in-law is shrewd, and it is difficult to save some private money.

After so many years of marriage, the children are going to marry a daughter-in-law, and she has saved less than two strings of money, what is enough to do?

The sister-in-law has been pampered at home for so many years, and she has not yet married, so the money she earns should be handed over to the public.

It's just that no matter how aggrieved Zhou is, he has no eyes, and he knows that he can't mention this stubble anymore at this moment, otherwise he is afraid of provoking his mother-in-law, not to mention anything else, it will be too much of a loss if he can't catch a mouthful of meat.

After thinking about it, Zhou pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Mrs. Li handed the meat to Wen and instructed: "The thin half is braised in the braised part, the fat half is boiled in oil residue and stewed with sauerkraut, the bone sticks are boiled over low heat, and the soup is saved for tomorrow morning and the noodles are eaten." ”

Wen's face also showed joy, and happily took the meat and went to the stove house to clean up.

I want to take advantage of the oil residue just out of the pot, can I get some relief from my cravings.

A few of the remaining adults remained in the hall.

Mei Zhongzhong knocked on the cigarette bag pot at this time: "How much did the jade mushroom sell?" ”

Mrs. Li took out the money bag on her chest and spread it out, and the remaining two or three pieces of broken silver and a bunch of copper coins came into everyone's eyes.

"So much?" This is the exclamation of Zhou and Mei Xiaoque.

Mei Zhongzhong even forgot to smoke the cigarette pouch, and looked at the broken silver on the table.

Everyone knows that jade mushrooms are valuable, but they haven't sold them before, and they really don't know, just like that, they can really exchange it for white flowers.

Zhou held her breath and reached out to touch the snow-white broken silver, she lived so much that she hadn't touched the silver yet.

As soon as his hand was halfway out, he was slapped back by Mrs. Li's "snap--" at once: "What are you doing?" Do? What do you want to do when you see the silver? ”

Zhou's aggrieved explanation: "Mother, I just want to touch it." ”

"Don't you look at yourself, don't you deserve to touch this silver? I used to see that your sister-in-law had a nose and not a nose and eyes that were not eyes, and I wanted to sweep her out, but now I see that she has earned money, but I want to touch it when my face is big? Phew! The old lady can be regarded as seeing clearly, you are born for nothing, and they are all soft eggs that are pinched by the mother-in-law, and you are still expected to support the elderly in the future? Fortunately, my mother gave birth to a good girl, and my mother will rely on my heart and liver in the future! The old lady put her words here today, you disliked me Xiaotong before, and don't want to touch my Xiaotong's light in the future! "Mrs. Li can be regarded as raising her eyebrows.

Although he was able to suppress Zhou and his son before, he was not as confident as this time.

Zhou's heart was empty, and he withdrew his hand in disdain.
