Chapter 267: The Poor Year
This year, the backer has not been peaceful.
Compared with previous years, this is a poor year, first the income of potatoes is worse by 20%, and then it is snatched back by the beard. Although most of the things are still not lost, but in the end there are still losses, not all right, this is someone who has lost so much that he has not been able to live well for a year, but there are also people who have taken advantage, but there is a muffled voice in the heart and eyes to make a fortune, so that the money will not be exposed to make people worry.
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family, who picked up the gold bracelet that time, was too white, and was approached by the people of Xilitun.
The daughter-in-law of the Wang family naturally didn't admit it, and directly denied that she had picked up the gold bracelet with a straight face: "Don't say that I didn't pick up the gold bracelet, but I picked it up, that's yours?" Bah, my own gold bracelet has been stripped of my beard! ”
This is what is a nonsense to open your eyes and say nonsense, there are many people surnamed Wang in the backing mountain, but not every family surnamed Wang is a well-off family like the family of the chief Wang Zhili.
This family surnamed Wang, the family is only five acres of land, compared to the old Bai family, Fang family heard the Wang family's daughter-in-law say that she lost the gold bracelet, and laughed out loud at that time.
"If she loses the gold bracelet, then I can lose a golden phoenix crown!"
was ridiculed by the villagers, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family just didn't hear it, and she insisted that she didn't pick up any gold bracelets.
But this matter is not over, Xilitun's daughter-in-law brought people to Gushantun in the next day, not only the Wang family, but also other families in Gushantun, all said that the bearded robbed Xilitun and the things were all lost in Gushantun, and their hard-earned belongings were robbed by the people in Gushantun.
Standing at the entrance of the village, the people who scolded the backers were shameless bastards.
This time, it is not a contradiction between one family and one household, but the two tunzi have fallen out.
In those days, it was called a lively, and the lieutenant even summoned the young men in the tun to guard at the entrance of the village, and as long as the people of Xilitun came to make trouble, they immediately drove away with a flat pole and a wide spade.
Seeing that Xu Wenlan is called a joy, when a group of men were shaking at the beard, they looked like gentlemen at this time.
Bai Shengwu also wanted to go to the entrance of the village to be a hero, but he was pulled by the Zhu family, and he spat all over his face, no one in the family sympathized with him, even Bai Hui'er laughed at him: "What are you going to mix with them?" This will not deal with beards, it's not far away, and the eight villages are not all villagers, and you don't see you when you look up, are you embarrassed? ”
As soon as he was told this, Bai Shengwu really stopped going to the village.
Just like that, noisy, it's Chinese New Year's Eve.
In previous years, it was still very lively in Tunzi, and it was firecrackers and fireworks, but this year, there were several firecrackers in Liao Liao, which provoked a dog barking, and it was silent in an instant.
The old mansion did not call the Bai family to eat Chinese New Year's Eve in the past, but when it was dark, Bai Shengwu still brought a bowl of chicken and sent it over, and when he came back, he kept his head silent, although he did not complain, but looking at his dull appearance, he also knew that he was angry in the old mansion.
In the past, Bai Shengwu was in front of Old Man Bai, but he was a little celebrity, even more popular than the eldest grandson Bai Shengwen, but now he didn't even catch him well, obviously Old Man Bai was really angry with his family this time, so I don't know how the Li family instigated in front of the old man.
On the morning of the first day of the new year, Bai Yingkui dragged his sick body and took the whole family to the old house to pay New Year's greetings.
The dining table in the old man's house had not yet been removed, and as soon as he saw them enter the room, Li sneered first: "Yo, what a rare guest!" ”
Old Man Bai's face sank, and the chopsticks in his hand were thrown on the table.
Xu Wenlan swept his eyes, the dumplings on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year are not pure white noodles, but two mixed noodles, it is said that during the New Year, the family can always eat two white flour dumplings, but this year it is two mixed noodles, it seems that the Li family is holding the money and intends to say that it was robbed, and he will not take out the money again.
Being so subordinated, Bai Yingkui also felt bitter on the tip of his tongue, but the filial piety that should be talked about still has to be talked about, and he didn't say anything else, first he gave the old man a New Year's greeting, and then let the child kneel down and kowtow to the master.
Old Man Bai sat on the kang and didn't speak, Li Shi had already said with a smile: "Yo, get up quickly, your father is short of money this year, but he doesn't have New Year's money for you." ”
White Lotus interjected casually: "No, I didn't get the New Year's money this year!" ”
Zhu pursed his lips, his face was a little ugly, but he didn't speak. Bai Shengwen said with a smile: "Look at what my aunt said, are we here to pay New Year's greetings to win New Year's money?" I wish you a happy new year and all the best...... Dad, you can sit too, or it will hurt again in a while......"
was supported by Bai Shengwen, and Bai Yingkui nodded and sat down.
Turning his eyes to look at Bai Yingkui, it seemed that he had just remembered that Bai Yingkui was beaten by his beard that day, Old Man Bai's face looked a little better, and he no longer pulled his face, but said lightly: "Sit down!" This year, the family has suffered and there is nothing to eat, so let's drink a bowl of sweet sugar water! ......."
Li pursed the corners of his lips, he didn't move by himself, he just called Wang.
Xu Wenlan was not polite, as soon as the sugar water came, he took a big sip first.
Warm, although the sugar is not too much, but in the end it is still sweet, raising a smile, she smiled: "Master, this sugar water is so sweet...... Mother, you also drink ......"
took a sip of sugar water with her hand, Zhu's face looked better, but she didn't notice that Old Man Bai's face was kinder than just now.
Seeing the children drink sugar water is like getting a rare thing, thinking that their family is still not rich, too, they split up and went out, not even a house of their own, living in another abandoned house, only opening some wasteland, although the boss opened a blacksmith shop in the county, but it doesn't mean that it is done with other people's shops, and Yueyue still has to give money to the Liu family?
That's it, what kind of money can the old family have? said before that the old man was doing well and forgot about his father, but he refused to take out the money to ask him for a doctor, maybe the old woman heard nonsense, right?
Zhu didn't see the old man's face, but Xu Wenlan saw it, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she then said: "Ah, sister, where is our pheasant?" Lord, my grandfather sent the pheasant, my father and mother were reluctant to eat it, so they brought it to you! ”
was reminded by Xu Wenlan, Bai Hui'er was busy turning around and leaving the house, but Bai Shengwu took a step faster and went directly outside the house to bring in two pheasants.
Red and brown feathers, white at the root of the tail, said to be a chicken, in fact, it is like a pigeon, one is only about six or seven taels, but Xu Wenlan only knows that this is a pheasant.
It was the old man Bai, who was happy when he saw the pheasant that Bai Shengwu was carrying.
"Yo, two great dragons! It's still your grandfather's ability, and there are few hunters in our tun...... It is said that the dragon meat in the sky, the donkey meat in the ground, this dragon meat, is talking about our flying dragon bird, this meat is fresh, and the hanging soup is the best......"
Seeing Xu Wenlan stretching his neck, the old man Bai was also interested, and pointed to the pheasant's claws: "Look here, the legs are short and feathered, and the claws have scales, just like the dragon's claws, so this bird is called Feilong......"
