(235) crying poor

When she came out of the pharmacy and carried the fetal medicine prescribed by the doctor, Liu Fang felt that her waist was a little stiffer when she spoke. Seeing that Zhao Wang's complexion was not good, she rolled her eyes, and deliberately said backwords to provoke, "Old lady, don't be angry, isn't that sister-in-law busy!" If you don't have time to come, forget it, just take her there another day. ”

"Busy, busy! Just count her busy! "Zhao Wang's heart is on fire, just a little bit. Not only because Zhang Qingting refused to come to see the doctor with her, but also because he lost face in the Zhang family. Besides, what are you going to do in Beijing? Why didn't you discuss such a big thing with her, and only told the daughter-in-law?

Liu Fang was also very curious about this question, "You say, what is the eldest brother going to Beijing for?" "For ordinary people like them, it is rare to leave their hometown once in their lives, and the farthest is only to walk in this county, which is enough for you to boast in front of the villagers for half your life. But Zhao Chengcai is going to the capital! How enviable is that? Something big must be happening.

How do I know what he is doing in the capital? Zhao Wang's thoughts are similar to her, but he doesn't want to answer her question, he can't help but feel a little lost in his heart, and he has a feeling of being rejected and ignored by his son, this is really forgetting his mother after marrying a daughter-in-law!

Liu Fang saw her eyebrows raised, and she didn't say anything for a long time, she secretly pursed her lips, and she didn't say much. Turning her hand and stroking her belly that was not yet bulging, she smiled secretly in her heart, now, there is an excuse to be lazy and not to work, and she can boldly pick her mouth, she has already figured it out, and when Zhao Chengdong asks for money from Zhang Qingting, she wants to buy something good.

Zhang Qingting arrived at the racecourse, and the news that Zhao Chengcai was going to Beijing was also told to his younger brothers and sisters. All the young people were envious and full of longing, "If only we could go to the capital when we can!" ”

Zhang Qingting smiled, "Okay! Close the horse farm, and I'll take you all to the capital to beg for food!" ”

The younger siblings stuck out their tongues and said unwillingly, "Sister, why don't we drive the racecourse to the capital?" ”

"Why haven't you woken up yet?" Zhang Qingting glanced at the girl, "Our horse farm in such a poor and remote country costs thousands of taels of silver, if you go to the capital, it would be good to be able to change a set of palm-sized houses for you, and also open a horse farm, the beauty will not kill you!" ”

That's the regional difference! Fang Mingzhu didn't give up, "Then even if we don't go to open a racecourse, it would be good if we could go to the capital to see and understand!" I've grown so big, I've been so far away! I've been to Yonghe Town with you once. ”

Zhang Jinbao took over, "Didn't the book also say that reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles?" Sister, you often say that it's always good for young people to go out and see and see! ”

This was said in a similar way, Zhang Qingting snorted lightly, "You don't need money for knowledge?" What's the point of shopping around endlessly? She glanced at Zhao Chengdong, "Your brother-in-law is still worried about the entanglement he went out this time!" Such a big family, if you want to eat, drink and celebrate the New Year, you have to prepare for some irrelevant people to come to the door from time to time, how much can I withstand the toss? ”

Fang Mingzhu hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, don't worry, my family still has some money, didn't grandpa say it in the morning, you can take it!" ”

In front of everyone, Zhang Qingting deliberately shook his head, "Don't you have to pay back your money?" I will definitely borrow from your family, and I will calculate how much I want to borrow when I go back. Well! This can be said to you, how much money does our family have to do this year's New Year, don't ask me to add to the blockage! ”

"Don't worry, big sister!" Zhang Jinbao said, "The quilt we made last year is still new, and we don't need to do it again this year." I used to be so poor, but now I am? No, I'll go to Yonghe Town again and find out what business ......"

He was about to say that he would open more money in his family's study shop, but was interrupted by Zhang Qingting's look, "Forget it!" How much money can you make by buying a few pens and a few pieces of paper from that little broken shop? You can also exchange some firewood, rice, oil and salt, I really hope for that, I can't even eat a bite of meat! ”

It's not so bleak, is it? Zhang Jinbao wondered in his heart, his family's business was very good. The gadgets he came in last time had already been sold out, and he was getting ready to get some more fresh and fun things back! But the eldest sister didn't let him speak, and he was also very amused.

Zhang Qingting sighed and continued to cry in front of everyone, especially Zhao Chengdong, "You guys, you don't know the price of firewood and rice!" Let's take Chengdong's side as an example, now there are a total of four big and one small family of five, and five hundred dollars a month are often not enough, and your eldest brother often has to make up for it. Wait for you to add another one to your house soon, and it will cost you more. ”

Zhao Chengdong nodded when he heard it, it's rare for his sister-in-law to be so reasonable, don't you want to give them a monthly increase? It happened that Liu Fang also blew the pillow wind on him last night, saying that he was pregnant and wanted to ask for one or two taels of silver every month for pocket money. This autumn and winter are approaching, she and Ya'er are out of the house, and they don't even have a thick clothes, so they have to buy some. If you have money, you don't always want it from Zhao Wang's hand and be nagged by her. Liu Shi took it for granted, "You don't have a salary at the racecourse, so you should advance some in advance!" ”

Liu Fang still has her own selfishness, if she waits for the end of the year to settle the bill, it will be a large amount of money, the money is too dazzling, and she can't reach her hand if she wants to, so she will be taken away by Zhao Wang's family. What's more, Zhao Chengdong will have to marry a wife sooner or later, and she will not have the right to speak at that time, so it is better to take advantage of the fact that there are no tigers in the mountains now, and there is another excuse to pick out some silver from Zhao Chengdong piecemeal, and he will be more calm in his hands in the future.

Zhao Chengdong didn't think about it so deeply, he only felt that Liu's words were pitiful, and he had learned his mother's stingy temper for many years, even if he made two clothes for their mother and daughter, it was nothing. Originally, I wanted to mention it while Zhang Qingting was in a good mood, but I didn't expect her to take the initiative to mention it.

was happy to take over the conversation, but when he heard Zhang Qingting's words, he suddenly turned around, "What about our side, connecting Xiaoyu and them, there are a total of nine adults, and two boys who are studying, it is the time to eat, and it looks like Yulan has to add another one, which is another expense." Do the math, how much do we have to spend this month? I can't say, everyone will have to suffer some grievances in the future, I am going to tell my mother from now on, this will be the most one or two silver per month on our side, and there will be no more money. Don't eat oil one by one, pick and choose, you don't think about fish and meat, and as for new clothes, don't even think about it! ”

The younger brother and sister nodded when they heard this, Zhao Chengdong was secretly frightened, if they were so provincial, how could he be embarrassed to open his mouth to ask for money? But thinking about the difficulties in the future, I was a little reluctant in the end, and after thinking about it for a long time, I frowned and hesitated and said a sentence, "That big brother...... Do you have to go to the capital? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at him with unkind eyes. Zhao Chengdong was a little panicked, and hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean anything else, I just thought that my family was having a hard time now, so I ......" His voice became weaker and weaker, and he couldn't talk anymore.

Zhang Qingting sneered slightly, "Listen, in the end, it is a building, it is a person who has become half a family, and he is more insightful than you when he speaks!" But Cheng Dong, this account can't be counted like this, your eldest brother went to Beijing this time, but he didn't go to the mountains and rivers to play in the mountains and rivers, he had no money to burn and play, he went to study seriously. Although this is a success, he may not be in high school next year, but shouldn't our family support him? ”

"Of course my brother-in-law is going!" Zhang Xiaodie immediately spoke out and glared at Zhao Chengdong fiercely, "If your brother-in-law is in high school, won't you touch his light anymore?" ”

Of course it can't be! Zhao Chengdong snorted and wanted to defend, "I'...... I've said it all, and I didn't mean it that way! ”

"Of course we know that!" The gentler Zhang Qingting's smile became, but it made Zhao Chengdong's heart more and more furious, "People often say that fighting tiger brothers and going into battle is a father and son soldier." Chengdong, you won't be unhappy because your eldest brother is going to Beijing, so you have to be wronged this day, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

"Of course not!" Zhao Chengdong choked so much that his face was red, and sweat came out, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will support and resolutely don't make trouble for the eldest brother!" ”

"I know you're a sensible person!" Zhang Qingting lured him into a trap without much effort, "I also know that you are pregnant now, and you should have to take care of it more, but what should I do?" Who made her happen to this big event? Although she didn't live with us, her mother-in-law would not treat her badly. If there is anything that is not thoughtful enough, it is really the mother-in-law who has more than enough heart and insufficient strength, so don't go to the old man's house, the family must work together to get through the difficulties together, right? No mistakes, not a lot of words"

Who dares to embarrass Zhao Wang's family? She's not hard to be a person, so it's okay! Zhao Chengdong still understood what his sister-in-law meant, first, don't come to her for trouble, and second, don't let Zhao Wang's family come to trouble her. Nene nodded in response, thinking that his brother's exam is indeed a big deal, if he is in high school, then won't their family follow the soaring? I can't offend them anymore!

Zhao Chengdong figured out this festival, this good man will still sell, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Fang'er is not the rude person, besides, there is me!" Our family's life is much better than before, as long as there is food and clothing, where can we treat her badly? ”

Zhang Qingting nodded in approval, "I'm relieved to have your words, okay, everyone should go and get busy!" She suddenly remembered something again, thought about it and stopped Zhang Jinbao, "When you go to pick up Ali's work, remember to tell him about your brother-in-law's going to Beijing, and ask him if he wants to bring a letter or something." ”

Zhang Jinbao answered. The others were honest and cheerful, and asked him to tell Yan Bowen, so that Yan Bowen would not be less cranky, but in the end, it also caused ripples in Yan Bowen's heart. Family letter, is he still qualified to bring it? This unexpected news disturbed him and he was absent-minded even taking the gang of young men to the streets in the afternoon, and he hesitated again and again.

When Zhang Qingting finished his work in the afternoon and went home, he unexpectedly saw Zhao Wang's gloomy face blocking the door again. Why is she here again?

(PS: The weather is finally clear, and the warm feeling is really comfortable!) )
