Chapter 73
The Song family's house was finally built. In addition to the original two main rooms in the east and west, two more wings were built on the east side, and after the kitchen was expanded, it was moved to the west side, which was mainly used to make fruit dan peel in addition to daily cooking.
There are also two inverted seats built at the front gate to store miscellaneous items.
In this way, although the Song family's house is not like the courtyard house of a rich family, it has also become a scale, and many people in the village are envious of Song Erniang's fruit dan peel to make money, and the house has been built.
However, many villagers are doing work in Liuli, and they can get some wages every month, even if they see the newly built house of the Song family, they are mostly sour in their hearts, but they will not say anything unpleasant.
Just look at the daughter-in-law of the He family, because the work was not good at the beginning, Liuli refused to use her anymore, and now she is entrusted with this and that, and wants to take some work from Liuli's hands, but no one is willing to help her.
After all, no one wants to drag themselves down for the sake of others.
In a sense, Liuli provides a way to make money for many big girls and little daughters-in-law in Dawan Village who can't pick their shoulders and can't lift their hands, and they naturally won't do things she doesn't want to see.
The house was built so well, Zhou Xiaoshu contributed a lot, Liuli would not treat him badly, in addition to the monthly fixed salary, he also gave him a thick red envelope.
Zhou Xiaoshu was heavy when he held it, waving his hand and refusing to ask for it.
"This is the completion award, you take it, go into the city tomorrow, and buy yourself a good set of clothes." Liuli Road.
Zhou Xiaoshu has never heard of any completion awards: "I have clothes, I don't need money." ”
"Didn't you notice that you've grown taller?" Liuli smiled, maybe because her guy was eating well, Zhou Xiaoshu was running fast, and his clothes were already a little shorter for the rest of the month.
"You tell Xiaocao to see how funny it is to wear short clothes all day." Liuli said again.
Zhou Xiaoshu didn't feel it obviously, and when he heard Liuli say this, he realized that it seemed to be the case.
Zhou Xiaocao giggled on the side.
Since Xiaocao moved over, Liuli has her share every time she makes clothes for Coral, so Zhou Xiaocao has no shortage of clothes.
"Amber's clothes are all long robes, and I guess you don't like to wear them, so you take this money and make two decent clothes for yourself."
Zhou Xiaoshu really doesn't like to wear long shirts, he thinks that it is worn by scholars, he prefers short plays, and he is neat and comfortable to wear.
couldn't twist the glass, Zhou Xiaoshu finally took the money.
It's just that Liuli said that it was making clothes, and the money in it was far more than the money for two clothes. It was too late for Zhou Xiaoshu to want to go back.
On the second day, Zhou Xiaoshu entered the city alone, firstly, according to what Liuli said, he made two suitable clothes to wear; On the other hand, he has saved a lot of silver these days, plus what Liuli gave, counting the previous repayment, the three taels of silver owed to Liuli can be paid off, and he wants to exchange the money for the whole money, so that he can return it to Liuli.
Zhou Xiaocao stayed at home to help make fruit dan peel, and now that he has a big kitchen, the three of them can completely spread it out and do it faster.
After disposing of a basket of hawthorn, Zhou Xiaocao came out with the cut fruit pits, fruit stalks and other garbage, and poured them into the ditch not far away.
It's her mother.
"Grass?" Mother Zhou couldn't believe it, the girl doll in front of her was really her daughter who she sold not long ago?
He has grown taller, his body is not as thin as before, his dirty and yellow little face has been washed, his eyebrows are filled with a sense of ease and happiness, and his clothes are new, fitting and decent.
"You, what are you doing here?" Zhou Xiaocao wondered.
Mother Zhou ignored her words, and her tone was sour: "I said that it was a blessing to sell you out, look at you, oh yo, then the second mother of the Song family treats you well." ”
Zhou Xiaocao didn't speak, looking at her vigilantly.
"I said Xiaocao, you are blessed, why don't you want to think about your old son? We're still suffering at home, and we don't know how to come back and see. Zhou's mother had an accusatory tone.
On the day she was sold, although Zhou Xiaocao was always pulled by her brother and didn't say a word, she remembered what happened during the period and what her parents and brother said.
"What you said with your own mouth, I sold it, and it has nothing to do with you anymore." Zhou Xiaocao said.
Mother Zhou nodded her forehead hatefully, gritting her teeth: "You have no conscience, in vain I and your father pulled you so big, and your conscience was fed to the dog." ”
"That's also paid back with the money from my sale." Zhou Xiaocao dodged Zhou's mother's fingers, "How I live in the future has nothing to do with you." ”
"You ......" Zhou's mother was speechless all of a sudden, and she didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, I remembered my own meaning: "I almost forgot, where is your brother?" Tell him to come out, you sold it to the Song family, but he Zhou Xiaoshu didn't have it. ”
"My brother isn't here." Zhou Xiaocao said.
"You don't know me, I've heard about it, he has been working for the Song family these days," Zhou's mother had a loud voice, pointing to the new houses of the Song family and shouting: "These bright and bright few big tiled houses were built by him and led people, why are they missing now?" ”
"What are you yelling about?" Zhou Xiaocao was afraid that her shouting so loudly would be heard by Liuli, and she didn't want her own affairs to cause trouble to Liuli again.
Zhou's mother became more and more reluctant: "I'll just call it, Zhou Xiaoshu, you are an unfilial son, come out for the old lady, you don't care about the old son and mother at home, you don't care about the old man at home, she does day work for other people's families all day long, why does she Song Liuli want to spend one person's money and buy two people to work?" ”
"What does the Zhou family's aunt mean by this?" Liuli stepped out and asked in a loud voice.
She was making fruit dan peel with Coral in it, and she was still wondering why Xiaocao had been pouring kitchen waste for so long, but she heard Zhou's mother shouting, and Liuli wiped her hand and came out.
Mother Zhou saw Liuli, her arrogance just now seemed to be a little shorter all of a sudden, and her voice lowered a lot: "You call my son out, I have something to look for him." ”
"This is strange, the aunt of the Zhou family is looking for her son, why did she still find my house?" Ruri smiled.
"You don't pretend to be garlic", Zhou's mother puffed up her heart and said: "Who doesn't know that Zhou Xiaoshu has been working for you these days, and everyone in the village has seen it." ”
Originally, Zhou's parents didn't care where Zhou Xiaoshu went, they had three taels of silver that Zhou Xiaocao had sold, and Zhou Xiaoshu's private house dug up from under the tree, which was enough to spend for a while, but Zhou's father had silver money in his hand, but he couldn't resist the temptation and entered the gambling house in the city.
The two of them had no money in their hands, so they remembered that Zhou Xiaoshu's son came, and they heard from the people in the village that Zhou Xiaoshu had a chance to work, and he worked with Song Liuli, and even the Song family's house was built by him, so he found it here.
