Chapter 44: Sour!
Little Tao's father smiled with relief, his daughter knows that the Thanksgiving Picture is a good one! "It's time for your uncle and the two of them to get married, with a big yard, there must be many people who come to say goodbye!"
Xiao Tao nodded, "Well, but I don't understand, I don't know if the silver is enough?" But it doesn't matter, the dividends of the mutton restaurant should come down at that time, it must be enough! ”
Little Tao Dad looked at the simple picture drawn by his daughter, although it was not perfect, but he was still happy in his heart, and his daughter really became atmospheric and capable.
"Don't worry! It's enough, a yard can be used for a maximum of twenty taels, I will draw a detailed drawing according to your idea at that time, and wait for my father to find a few masters to discuss, this big yard is covered, but Biri is in the house is magnificent! ”
Xiao Tao raised his eyebrows and smiled, "That's not it, I'll also think about the details, Lizheng will be finished sooner or later, Dad, are you interested in doing Lizheng?" ”
Xiao Tao Dad smiled and didn't speak, his eyes were full of yearning, he hadn't read, it was impossible to become a big official through reading, but what man didn't want to be an official, he was a village official, majestic, he said nothing in the village, and he had a lot of face!
Xiao Tao smiled knowingly, "Dad, don't worry, when their family of dogs who have lost their conscience step down, you will go and fight for Dang Lizheng, and your daughter will support you!" A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier! ”
Little Tao Daddy smoked a dry cigarette, with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes.
Xiao Tao thought that his father had fallen into the dream of being an official, so he got up and went to take some of the remaining cornmeal and brown rice, a dozen catties, and went to the kitchen to cut about a pound of pork belly with a knife, and carried it to the second aunt's house.
It was already dark, the second aunt's house was dark, only the kitchen was still brighter with firewood, Xiao Tao pushed the door in, saying that the kitchen was actually a grass shed in the open space between the main house, and the thick mats were sewn with grass around it. It's also at home.
The second aunt and her three daughters were cooking, and porridge with cornmeal and wild vegetables was grunting on the stove. Seeing Xiao Tao come in, he was still carrying noodles and a piece of meat, and he stood up excitedly.
The second aunt took the things embarrassedly, "Tao'er, why are you embarrassed to always accept your things!" ”
Xiao Tao smiled, sat on the small stool and hugged Jin Hua and Jin Se, and Jin Ling stood next to her obediently.
Xiao Tao took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and handed them to them, when he bought it for his younger brother today, his younger brother gave it to him and put it in his pocket.
The three sisters timidly took it and pinched it in their hands and were reluctant to eat. Xiao Tao looked at them and felt sad for a while!
"Second aunt, you're welcome, it's all a family, has the second uncle been honest lately?"
The second aunt frowned, her eyebrows and eyes drooped, probably because she was in a bad mood, and after a long time, even the expression on her face became bitter! It's really born from the heart!
"His legs are not yet neat, he just sees you go out, and then he lies on the bed and scolds! I can't get out, and I can't be honest! ”
Xiao Tao thought that it was not a way for him to help them all the time, so they had to have a way to support themselves, "Second aunt, do you have anything to be good at?" For example, making clothes! Embroidery! Something! ”
The second aunt thought about it and sighed, "I can make clothes, I can also embroider, when I didn't get married, my village counted my embroidery workers well, at the beginning of the marriage, I can also embroider something and sell it to supplement the family, and then your second uncle gambled and used all the silver, I can't even afford a good piece of cloth, and embroidery on coarse cloth is not rare!" ”
"Oh! In this way, I will get you some fabrics later, draw some patterns, I will take it to the town to sell after you embroider it, and let Jinling and the others have nothing to do with me to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms together, I can sell a pound of dried mushrooms in good condition for 30 yuan, and I will not take the intermediate fee, how much I will give you when the time comes! ”
The second aunt excitedly took Xiao Tao's hand, "Really?" That's good, that's good! Otherwise, we won't be able to let you help us for the rest of our lives! It's better to make your own money! ”
"There is also the second uncle, that is to bully the soft and fear the hard, if he dares to come nonsense in the future, he will die to him, don't be afraid! If you're afraid of him, you won't dare to mess around, and your life will be better! Then I'm leaving, second aunt, it's time for me to go home for dinner! ”
Xiao Tao went out after speaking, and when he got home, his mother had already put the meal on the table, and a few people were waiting for her, white and clear rice porridge, fried rape and mushrooms, and it was rare to see the oil and a plate of oil residue. My mother is willing to give up, and she is willing to put oil!
Xiao Tao'er hurriedly greeted Xiao Tao'er, "Come on, girl, I refined that big oil, this oil residue is the most fragrant, Wotou is newly steamed by me during the day, and I also boiled a big white rice porridge, it's really fragrant, eat it quickly!" ”
Xiao Taoer wants to say that this oil residue causes cancer, but think about this era, pigs don't eat feed, they are all naturally fed, and there is no air pollution, it is estimated that the problem is not big, and it should be no problem to eat two bites less! So I sat down and the family had a happy meal.
After eating, Xiao Tao grabbed his mother and gave his father a look, Xiao Tao took out a cloth bag from his arms with a smile, and slowly opened it, under the dim light of the lamp oil, the silver hairpin and silver bracelet were shining, so that the whole old room was shining.
"Here, her mother, you have worked hard with me for most of your life, the poor family has never bought anything for you, thanks to the blessing of the daughter, I bought it for you, don't dislike it, we are in the village, we can't be too public!"
Xiao Tao Niang looked at the beautiful hairpin and bracelet, her eyes were red, her heart was sour and moved, and her hard work for more than 20 years was worth it, "You guys! I don't know how to save if I have money, and there will be more places to spend money in the future! I'm so old, what else to bring, bring it to Tao'er! ”
Xiao Tao shook his head, and then pointed to his head, "I have it, take the work in the way, when I have money, buy better, I bought a set of gold for Jinxiu, so that she can grow face in her mother-in-law's house and save herself from being bullied!" ”
Shaoshan Shaocong smiled and said, "Dad, put it on your mother, and your mother will become beautiful!" ”
Xiao Tao Dad smiled and pinned the hairpin to Xiao Tao Niang's bun, and took her hand to put the bracelet on her, which immediately looked a little extravagant. The eldest brother, Jinxiu and Shao Cong all followed her, Xiao Tao and Shao Shan followed Xiao Tao's father, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and they were full of heroism.
"It's so beautiful, my mother is so beautiful!" Shao Shan Shao Cong clapped his hands and shouted.
Xiao Tao Niang was said to be shy, stood up and said, "I'll go wash the dishes, Xiao Tao don't clean up, go into the house to rest,"
Xiao Tao smiled, pulled Shaoshan Shaocong into the house, and then moved the kang table up, lit the oil lamp, and asked Shaoshan for a piece of paper. Took a piece of charcoal from the kitchen.
Shao Cong stared at him with wide eyes and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you going to do!" Can I draw and write with charcoal? ”
