Xia Qiqi found a place and temporarily stored the pile of things that Yu Guixiang didn't look at.

All of a sudden, it cost another two pennies for storage.

When she paid for it, Yu Guixiang had a painful expression throughout the whole process.

She reluctantly looked at the less and less money in her pocket, and felt sad in her heart.

Xia Qiqi saw all this in her eyes, and she knew that Yu Guixiang felt sorry for the money.

But now that the situation in the fourth room is like this, if it is hidden again, the whole family will not be far from death!

"Mother, let's go to the rice shop and have a look!"

led Yu Guixiang and went straight to the nearby rice shop to take a look.

Not to mention, this rice is a little scary, ordinary rice costs eight cents a catty, some ten cents, or even more than a dozen cents.

The Xia family has four rooms, and if they want to eat rice, they don't have the ability at all at the moment.

"Qiqi, why don't we get some brown rice back, brown rice is cheap, it's only five cents a catty!" Yu Guixiang pointed to the brown rice that had been thrown in the corner.

Don't talk about brown rice, Xia Qiqi has not eaten half of the broken rice since he came to this house.

Although brown rice is unpalatable, it is cheap.

Xia Qiqi gritted his teeth and bought twenty catties of brown rice in one go at a price of five cents per catty.

In the blink of an eye, one hundred and ninety yuan, and suddenly there was only fifty-eight yuan left.

The fifty-eight dollars have become the hope for the entire Xia family to survive.

Yu Guixiang is reluctant to use it no matter what.

Xia Qiqi still led her to a sugar shop, and the ancient white sugar was not cheap, a pound of white sugar was almost worth a pound of brown rice.

After spending five cents, Xia Qiqi bought a pound of sugar.

Out of the sugar shop, Yu Guixiang's face was full of puzzlement, "Qiqi, our family is also ...... No one eats sugar, so why do you buy these? ”

Xia Qiqi smiled, "Mother, do you remember that wild apple?" ”

"Remember, what's wrong?" Yu Guixiang asked.

"You know the sugar gourd, right? Made of hawthorn! In fact, sugar gourds are not just made of hawthorn, I look at the size and taste of the wild apples, which is especially suitable for sugar gourds! ”

The wild apples of that tree, Yu Guixiang can't eat them alone.

And the apple is so sour, no one else is willing to touch it.

It can be made into a sugar gourd, which is different from the sweet and sour feeling, which may be better than the authentic sugar gourd.

Yu Guixiang's eyes lit up after listening to Xia Qiqi's explanation.

It seems that she misunderstood her daughter, and her daughter didn't buy candy to eat for herself.

"Qiqi, all this money is given to you, you can buy whatever you want!"

Yu Guixiang didn't ask for any of the remaining fifty-three dollars, and handed them all to Xia Qiqi.

Xia Qiqi was not polite, she really needed this money to use it as the capital for trading.

"Mother, do we have needlework at home?" Xia Qiqi suddenly asked.

"Needlework...... What to do? Yu Guixiang was a little weak-hearted.

I can't eat a bite of food at home, where will I get the money to buy needlework?

In the past, if anyone's clothes were rotten, they would go to the village to borrow them, or Yu Guixiang would go to do a day's work for that family.

Either let the flowers and flowers help pull the grass, and the days will go on like this.

"Have you forgotten the clothes I bought from the landlords? After taking it back and scalding it with boiling water, you can wear it! ”

At present, the conditions of the Xia family's four rooms cannot afford to buy cloth.

There are two in the family, and there is no jacket that can protect against the cold.

The two younger sisters and Xia Qiqi herself, who are still wearing a thin summer coat, and there are no shoes that can cover their feet, and there are not a few places where there are chilblains on their bodies.

If you don't get a few clothes that can really keep you warm, even if you have enough food to survive the winter, you will still be frozen to death in the cold winter!

Yu Siniang suddenly realized that she only knew at this time why her daughter had to spend money to buy the old clothes of those rich people.

It seems that they spent a lot of money on old clothes, but the twenty cents were really used to tear the cloth, and they couldn't pull a few feet.

I guess I want to make a coarse linen dress at most.

A suit of clothes can't solve the fundamental problem of the four rooms at all.

But these old clothes are different, so a lot of them, how can one person pick them up.

Yu Guixiang took a long breath, looked at the smiling girl in front of her, and suddenly had a feeling that this family seemed to really have hope!

When buying needlework and thread, Yu Guixiang was finally generous, and bought a lot of thread in one go, and when Xia Qiqi handed over the three money, she didn't blink her eyes.

Xu is adapted to the speed at which Xia Qiqi uses money!

This trip, I earned more than 100 yuan, but after removing these things that must be bought, there is not much money left.

Especially if they had to rent a car to go back to the village, Xia Qiqi and Yu Guixiang didn't dare to have lunch in the town.

First, the money really can't be used! Second, the two of them, one lunch, why do they have to spend two pennies.

If you spend two pennies outside to eat, you might as well go back and cook some porridge by yourself, and you will have a bite to deal with.

After noon, about an hour later, Xia Qiqi and Yu Guixiang returned to Lao Xia's house.

The two of them, who were originally happy and happy, suddenly froze with smiles on their faces after hearing the sound of crying and shouting in the courtyard.

"Oh no, flowers and flowers ......" Xia Qiqi shouted, not caring that he was still on the ox cart, he jumped down and went straight to his yard!

……

In the courtyard of the fourth room, Mrs. Xia held a bamboo stick thicker than her thumb in her hand and waved it vigorously.

In front of her, kneeling were two little dolls in the fourth room, Xia Xiaohua and Xia Xiaoduo.

I don't know how many sticks were drawn, Xia Xiaoduo was already crying and was about to die, her face became red, and tears and snot flowed down her face.

"You little brute who kills a thousand knives, loses money, lets you be a thief, let you do the next thing!

You have stolen everything at home, what do others eat, what do others use? ”

Mrs. Xia was whipping and scolding in her mouth.

All kinds of ugly words burst out of her mouth.

It's such a serious time, and the people next to him don't persuade them, but follow the coaxing.

"Mother, these two girls were taught by the fourth daughter-in-law, and people say that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked.

It's not good, it's the mother-in-law of the fourth daughter-in-law, picking up these two money-losing goods and stealing our eggs! ”

It was Zhao Mei'e, the widow of the dead man in the big house, who spoke.

Since Xia Duolu, the boss of the Xia family, was doing business outside, met a homeless person, and his life and death were unknown, Zhao Mei'e, a widow, became a follower of Mrs. Xia.

But whatever Mrs. Xia wants to do, she will follow.

More often, she will deliberately provoke Mrs. Xia's anger, watching Mrs. Xia teach this lesson and beat that!

"I knew it was the slut who only ate food and didn't lay eggs, and when that woman came back, I had to peel off her skin!"
