Grandma Zhu also lives at the foot of the mountain, at the very edge of the village, her house is not big, but the yard is quite large, there are three rooms, a kitchen, a hall room, and a sleeping room.

In the yard, there are small vegetable patches, on which are planted with green vegetables, onions and garlic, all of which are fenced with bamboo, so that the chickens she raises will not run in and spoil the greens.

Usually such an old woman, the village does not allow her to come back, but when Grandma Zhu came back, she donated five taels of silver to the village, bought the land at the foot of the mountain, built a house, gathered a vegetable field, and bought more than ten acres of paddy fields in the village, all of which were rented out, so she was a wealthy old lady.

Although she has a good temper, you don't want to take advantage of her, she is a very smart and powerful old lady.

"Grandma Zhu, are you at home?" Zhu Hua'er shouted.

"Woohoo!"

A big yellow dog barked and ran out, followed by two small yellow dogs.

Fortunately, there is a low door at the entrance of the courtyard, so that the big yellow dog can't get out.

screaming in the yard.

"What's it called, rhubarb, go to the kennel!" A voice came from the room, and soon a well-dressed and clean-up old lady walked out.

When Rhubarb saw her come out, he immediately ran towards her, shaking his head and tail, and the two little yellow dogs also hurriedly ran up.

"All go into the nest, don't come out!" Grandma Zhu said.

Rhubarb seemed to understand, and staggered to the nest.

Grandma Zhu stepped forward to look at the third sister Zhu, "You guys? ”

"Grandma Zhu, we're here to get pierced!" Zhu Hua'er hurriedly said.

Grandma Zhu smiled when she heard this, looked at the things Zhu Hua'er was carrying, and smiled more seriously, "Come in!" ”

She didn't care about what she brought, but she didn't want to give people the feeling that she would help people casually and be a bully, which would cause a lot more trouble.

Come to her for ear piercing, she is very welcome, but you have to bring something.

Whatever it is, you can't come empty-handed.

Grandma Zhu opened the door.

Zhu Hua'er hurriedly sent the things, "Grandma, this is the candy we bought, can you taste it, is it delicious?" ”

"Good, good!" Grandma Zhu smiled, stretched out her hand to take the yellow paper bag, three up and down, obviously three copies, and beckoned the three sisters into the hall.

"Sit down, I'll get something!"

"Hmm!"

The three sisters sat on the chairs, and Zhu Xiao looked at Grandma Zhu's home.

The hall is very simple, there is a picture of Guanyin in the middle, the painting is vivid, I think it is the hand of the master.

As for the tables and benches, they are all ordinary wood.

But the whole house was cleaned and spotlessly clean.

Broad and bright.

Zhu Hua'er looked at the door, waiting for Grandma Zhu to come out.

Grandma Zhu quickly came out with a wooden box and beckoned, "Which of you will come first?" ”

Zhu Hua'er thought for a while, "Grandma, I'll come first!" ”

"Good!"

Grandma Zhu opened the box, and inside was a slightly thick needle, as well as a small brush and cinnabar.

"Do you have silver needles or something?" Grandma Zhu asked.

"Yes!"

"Well, after I have pierced my ears in a while, I will put on the silver needle, and in a few days, I can wear beautiful earrings!" Grandma Zhu said with a smile.

I took a brush and dipped it in cinnabar, and lightly touched it on Zhu Huaer's earlobe.

Then he looked left and right, "Well, it's symmetrical!" ”

He took a slender silver needle from the side, poured something out of a porcelain vase, put the silver needle in front of him and dipped it, and gently touched Zhu Hua'er's ear.

"It's a little painful, it's over, girls have to be beautiful, this little pain, they should be able to endure it!" Grandma Zhu said, and took a thick needle again.

Gently rubbed Zhu Hua'er's ears with his fingers, and then pierced it all at once, quickly pulled it out, and threaded the silver needle into it.

It was so fast that it didn't even bleed.

"Does it hurt?" Grandma Zhu asked.

Zhu Hua'er shook her head, "It doesn't seem to hurt!" ”

"It's right if it doesn't hurt, just pricked that time, it's for ear anesthesia!" Grandma Zhu smiled.

Next, wear it for Zhu Zhaodi.

Zhu Zhaodi didn't feel any pain, so she passed.

In the end, it was Zhu Xiao's turn.

"The little girl is so good-looking!" Grandma Zhu boasted.

"Thank you, Grandma, for the compliment!" Zhu Xiao spoke softly.

Don't say anything else, just wait for Grandma Zhu to do it.

Wait for the piercing.

When he was about to leave, Zhu Xiao turned around and asked Grandma Zhu, "Grandma, do you plan to raise your own puppy?" ”

"......" Grandma Zhu smiled and said nothing.

It's just that his eyes are a little cold.

looked at Zhu Xiaobu silently.

Zhu Xiao didn't care, she didn't want to have a deep friendship with Grandma Zhu, she just wanted to ask her to buy a dog.

If she doesn't want to, she won't force it.

"Grandma, if you don't plan to raise it yourself, I want to buy one and go home!"

It's buying, not begging.

When Grandma Zhu heard this, her expression eased a lot.

She knew most of the girls in this village, and when the three sisters came together, she naturally guessed whose children the three sisters were.

"They're sold, but they're not weaned yet, and even if you want to buy them, they'll be a month later!"

A month later, Zhu Xiao calculated the time, which was enough for them to move out of the Zhu family.

"Then Grandma can help us keep one!"

"Okay, when you come to hug the dog, just take a hundred wen!" Grandma Zhu spoke cheerfully.

"Good!"

Seeing that Zhu Xiao wanted to buy a dog, Zhu Zhaodi disagreed slightly.

After all, if you have a dog, you have to give it food.

Zhu Hua'er was very happy, "Second sister, second sister, do you really want to buy a dog?" ”

"yes, aren't you happy?"

"Happy, happy!"

On the way back, there were people catching sparrows everywhere in the fields and fields, large and small, men and women, almost the whole family went into battle.

“……”

Some people caught it, some people didn't, in short, it was very lively.

Zhu Xiao stood on a high place and looked, not only Zhujia Village, but also people in other villages and fields.

“……”

She didn't expect that she just wanted to make some money, which would cause such a big butterfly effect.

Back home.

Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer packed up their things and were about to catch sparrows, but Zhu Xiao was too cold and didn't want to go.

"Second sister, you rest at home, and my eldest sister and I went!"

"Hmm!"

The room was quiet, Zhu Xiao looked at the book for a while, and went to find the pen, ink, paper and inkstone sent by Xun Muyang.

took it and spread it on the table, and wrote a sentence like this, "Don't climb, don't settle, be a woman with a backbone!" ”

The words are not very good-looking, they can only be said to be neat.

But looking at the words on it, Zhu Xiao gradually laughed.

She suddenly thought of Grandma Zhu and felt that this old lady must be an old lady with a story.

As for what story she has, it's not something that Zhu Xiao can know.

She didn't want to explore either.

Zhu Xiaocai wrote the words well, Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Huaer came back, Zhu Zhaodi was fine, her eyes were slightly red, but Zhu Huaer burst into tears.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Xiao asked puzzled.

"Second sister, woo woo ......"

As if seeing the backer, Zhu Huaer threw herself into Zhu Xiao's arms, hugged Zhu Xiao and cried.
