After Hua Manxi delivered the porridge to the village, and when he returned home, Hua Xiaosong had already washed the dishes and chopsticks.

"Sister, I've washed it all." Hua Xiaosong saw Hua Manxi coming back, and smiled to ask for credit.

"Got it, Komatsu is so good." Hua Manxi took out two cents from his purse and put it in Hua Xiaosong's palm, "This is a promise to buy you candy." ”

"Sister, didn't you say a penny? How to give two texts? Hua Xiaosong whispered with some embarrassment.

"Just give it to you, you've helped my sister a lot these days, and you also have a share of the money you earn, but you're still young, my sister can't give you all the silver, but I have to save it for you to go to school." Flowers are full of Creek Positive Color Road.

"Sister, did you really let me go to the academy?" Hua Xiaosong is still a little unbelievable, you must know that although the village is poor, but the reading atmosphere is prevalent, as long as there are boys, the family will cut down on food and clothing to send the children to school, but since his father injured his leg, the money in the family is even a little difficult to make ends meet, where does Hua Xiaosong dare to think about going to school?

"Well, my sister counts when she speaks, not only to let you go to school, but also to let you take the test for fame, the champion!" Hua Manxi pinched Hua Xiaosong's immature face and reassured.

"Sister, you're so nice." Hua Xiaosong was a child after all, she cried with joy, her eyes were a little red, and she threw herself into Hua Manxi's arms.

"Komatsu is good, my uncle and aunt treat me like my own daughter, Komatsu also went to the field to catch insects in order to help my sister, my sister will earn money in the future, I must let you live a good life." Hua Manxi said in a firm tone.

She was able to cross over here, it was providence, God took pity on her lonely and boring previous life, and sympathized with the kindness and helplessness of this family. From then on, she is the flower full of streams here, and everything in the original body is her responsibility.

"It's still early, let's go to the field to help my aunt, shall we?" Hua Manxi looked up at the sun in the sky, went back to the house and filled two bamboo tubes of water, and beckoned Hua Xiaosong to go to the field together.

Before he approached the Hua family's field, he heard the angry and helpless voice of his aunt: "Brother and sister, you are too much!" This canal was built by everyone, and we also have a share of this water, so if you block it so that the water does not flow into the fields, are you going to cut off our family's rations? ”

"Ouch, sister-in-law, your words are a bit serious, my field is cracked, what's wrong with the water after a while? You also said that this aqueduct belongs to everyone, not your family! "The second aunt and uncle stuck to the canal and blocked stones and mud on it.

"Second family, what are you doing here? If you block the water, won't the crops in our fields wither? When Uncle Hua saw her like this, he didn't dare to step forward and do it directly with her, after all, it was his younger brother and sister, if he pulled and pulled, maybe people would say something gossipy.

"Dead is dead, don't all Manxi do business now? I heard that the business is good when selling noodles in the village, and the small cart is full of empty bowls, and the whole stream is making money to support you, what kind of fields are you planting? The second uncle said in a sour tone.

Yesterday, she asked Hua Manxi, and she actually said that she had no money, but today she heard that Manxi sells more than a dozen bowls of noodles a day, and also sells a bowl for six yuan!

Six cents a bowl!

"What does this Manxi sell noodles have to do with us? The money earned is all full of streams, this seedling is not long in the ground, you cut off the water like this, such a big sun, this seedling will die in a while! Uncle Hua was so angry that he couldn't do it, but he had always been honest and gentle, so he could only stomp his feet hatefully.

"I also need water in this field, and the water flows into your field, what will I do in this field?" The second aunt said arrogantly, "When my field is full of water, I will naturally release the water." ”

Hua Manxi and Hua Xiaosong are not far away, and they can see the situation of their quarrel clearly, this second aunt, to say something unpleasant, sick, pink eye, just can't see that the uncle's family is a little good! She has to block others to be happy!

This kind of person, if she doesn't treat her, she really treats herself as a green onion.

Hua Manxi had a plan in his heart, pulled Hua Xiaosong forward, walked up to his uncle and aunt, pretended not to know, and said, "Uncle, uncle, what's wrong?" ”

"Ouch, the little proprietress of our Hua family is here, aren't you going to do business? Why do you still have time to come here? The second aunt saw that Hua Manxi brought water and handed it to the eldest uncle and eldest aunt, and her heart was even more sour, and she sarcastically said in a strange way.

It's all aunts, why is this dead girl so good to her sister-in-law, but she can't listen to her own words? She asked her to marry Da Zhuang, wasn't that for her good? The two families are close to each other, how good does she want to marry a person who has been defiled and withdrawn? Ouch, and treat her kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs!

The second aunt laughed, but she just sold a few bowls of noodles, what kind of business is it? Like the second uncle, the one who travels south and north is the one who makes a big deal, and Manxi still has to learn art from the second uncle. Hua Manxi smiled slightly, very humbly.

"Manxi, why are you here? Noodles sold out? The eldest aunt pulled Hua Manxi's sleeve and said in a low voice.

Hua Manxi didn't answer, just nodded to the eldest aunt, but pretended not to understand and looked at the second aunt: "Second uncle, what are you doing here?" What are you doing blocking the water inlet? ”

The second aunt sneered, making it clear that she was bullying Uncle Hua to be honest, and said in a cold tone: "I didn't do anything, I'm about to dry up this day, I want to flow more water for a while, and when I eat enough water this day, I will naturally dig it up, Look at your uncle and aunt, you are so anxious that you are like something, stingy." ”

The seedlings are being planted not long ago, and now is really the time for weeding and fertilizing, a large area of paddy fields in the village are here, and every household is connected, and many villagers around are also busy working in the fields, but after all, they are all the family affairs of the Hua family, and they dare not speak out.

"In this way, the second aunt is right, this field needs to drink enough water." Hua Manxi nodded, and said seriously, "In this case, then the second aunt will use the water first, and the eldest uncle will find a way to do it." ”

"Manxi, this canal was built by me and your uncle!" The eldest aunt felt that Hua Manxi seemed to be a different person, and she had a lot of ideas, especially last time, she blackmailed two taels of silver from the widow Wang! She was impressed!

But today, she relented and admitted defeat, and did not argue in half a sentence, but she couldn't see through it.

"It's all a family, since the second aunt wants to use it, let her use it." Hua Manxi secretly pinched her aunt and signaled her to stop making a sound.

"Manxi is right, let her field drink enough water before bringing water." Uncle Hua also has no way to take this brother and daughter-in-law, but to calm things down.

"That's not good, how can there be no water in the field? Such a big sun? Hua Manxi glanced around and saw that there was a person busy working in the field above the Hua family's paddy field, it was the daughter-in-law of the village chief Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu.

"Aunt Liu, can I borrow some water from you? Otherwise, my field will be dry. Hua Manxi asked.

"You can borrow it, but my field is higher than yours, and if you dig a canal, the water will flow to you, and I'm afraid I won't be able to store water in this field." Aunt Liu was a little embarrassed.

"Aunt Liu, don't worry, I have a way, and I will never let you dry this field." Hua Manxi said confidently.

She glanced around, and saw a cluster of bamboo not far from the edge of the field, so she asked Uncle Hua to cut a bamboo and come back, the bamboo broke and split into two, and instead of digging a ditch in Aunt Liu's field, she inserted the bamboo into the soft ridge, passed through, made a small hole, and directly connected the water, and finally, she deliberately put a small stone at the interface to raise the place of excuse.

"Aunt Liu, do you think this is okay? The water is not big, and it will flow here when your field is full. I will not die in this field. Hua Manxi washed his hands and asked.

"This method is good, it's not that Aunt Liu is small-minded, it's just that the weather is too hot, and the fields can't run out of water." Aunt Liu explained with some embarrassment.

"No, no, our own people are like this, it's good that Aunt Liu is willing to let us get water, I still want to thank Aunt Liu." Hua Manxi thanked her sincerely, which made Aunt Liu's face a little red.

After tossing for such a while, the sky was about to get dark, Hua Manxi was afraid that his uncle and aunt would make trouble with his second aunt again, and he would suffer a loss, so he dragged them home, but secretly said a few words in Hua Xiaosong's ear, which made Hua Xiaosong's heart bloom.

Didn't the second aunt ask for water? This time, she let her manage it all at once!

The group returned home, and Hua Manxi gave all the money from today's noodle sale to his aunt.

"So much?" The eldest aunt held a pile of broken money and ordered it over and over again, "There are more than two taels!" We've got enough money to pay off our debts! That's enough! Thank God! ”

"Is it really enough?" Uncle Hua was also overjoyed and counted again.

"That's enough! That's enough for five taels of silver! Manxi doesn't have to marry that fool! That's great! Uncle Hua was also overjoyed, "Thanks to the renovation of the house!" Otherwise, where will the river be full of money? I'm going to invite the host to drink another day! ”

"That's right! And kill a chicken! The eldest aunt also chimed in.

"Manxi, you still have an idea, this money is enough, you don't want to sell noodles tomorrow, I think you are also tired and panicked." The eldest aunt suddenly lowered her voice, "I'll go and pay back the money tomorrow, and then ask the matchmaker to tell you a good family matter." ”

"Huh?" Hua Manxi couldn't imagine that this turn would turn so fast, why did she get involved in her family affairs? She's only fifteen years old, married? Don't be so frightened, right?

"Don't, don't, don't, aunt!" Hua Manxi hurriedly refused solemnly, "You see I'm still so young, my family is so poor, Da Yang hasn't married yet, and Xiao Song hasn't gone to the school to read and write, I don't want to marry so early!" I still want to continue earning money and let Komatsu go to school! ”

"Silly girl, Da Yang and Xiao Song are my sons, this is my business, how can I let you make money?" The eldest aunt couldn't imagine that Hua Manxi still had such an idea, and immediately dared to move her eyes a little red, "You still have to marry someone." ”

"Ouch, uncle, you see that my aunt dislikes me and wants to drive me out, I don't want to marry yet, if you don't want to go, then tomorrow, you will go with me to sell noodles, I will teach you to make noodles, and in the future, we will make money, go to the town to set up a noodle stall, and there is also an entry." So that I can marry with peace of mind. "Huamanxi takes a roundabout policy.

Under the soft grinding and hard soaking, the eldest aunt finally relented and asked her to say goodbye a year later.

"By the way, what about Komatsu?" After talking for a while, he found that Hua Xiaosong hadn't returned home yet.

"I'm back!" Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Hua Xiaosong entered in response and winked mischievously at Hua Manxi.

It's done!
