Chapter 31: Prey for Money
Song Zifei didn't understand the eldest brother's intentions, but Song Ziwu and Lu Caiqing heard it, and rolled their eyes at the same time, he looked honest and told a lie to deceive an ignorant child.
Song Zifei didn't hear it, thinking that he was a man, he immediately wiped his eyes and said, "With Sister Caiqing!" We are like a home here, and our life will get better and better in the future. ”
Lu Caiqing saw that everyone had finished eating, and said, "Brother Song!" I think you work and I can't be idle, I want to supplement the family to do some embroidery work, do you think it's okay? ”
"No! We three big men, it's okay if you're not hungry, what else do you do? Song Ziwu shouted out macholy.
"That's it! You don't have to work, you just wash our clothes and cook at home. Song Ziyu also said.
"No! I'm going to be a fat pig all day long, except for eating and sleeping, I can't become a fat pig like Zifei said, I don't do it, I want to do something for you, and don't hunt anymore, it's not enough to just eat, how can a countryman be called a countryman if he doesn't have land, he needs money to buy land, and he doesn't need money for Ziwu to marry his daughter-in-law? ”
The three brothers didn't expect the little girl in front of them to think so far in their hearts, and they didn't expect that it was true that she wouldn't let them continue hunting, not a joke.
Song Ziwu heard that he still needed money to marry his daughter-in-law, so he said: "I don't want a daughter-in-law, it's enough for the eldest brother to have you, wouldn't it be better for me to take the third brother to live together." ”
"Nonsense! How can anyone not marry a daughter-in-law when he is old? Now there is no money, but if our family works together, our life will be fine, and when the time comes, Lian Zifei can also go to the city to study, and it will not be more promising to have culture in the future, and return it to the old Song family to glorify the ancestors, and you will not waste Brother Song's hard work for you.
It was the first time Song Ziwu heard Cai Qing plan their future so long-term, he just thought that this woman was forced to be reluctant to agree to marry the eldest brother, so that he would be good to the eldest brother.
But these days since getting along, although I have been fighting with her from time to time, I have actually slowly accepted her in my heart, watching her think about the three of them everywhere, and I have a new understanding of her from the heart out.
Lu Caiqing said: "Didn't we hunt some prey a few days ago? When you get to the town, you can buy me some silk and silk thread, and you will do my embroidery at home, and you can earn some money for other purposes. ”
Seeing that she insisted, the three of them inquired about the price of silk and silk thread, and estimated the value of pheasants and hares, Song Ziyu said: "In this case, the money in exchange is not enough to buy those materials, and I have to go to the mountains again?" ”
His suggestion was opposed by the whole family, because his back injury had not healed, and finally it was discussed that Song Ziwu would take Zifei and the two to the mountain pass to hunt some game and come back. The two nodded and agreed, and after Zifei repeatedly promised to supervise the second brother, Lu Caiqing let them go.
After cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Song Ziyu went to the back of the house and moved the adobe, these are still the leftovers when they built the kang in the early days, and now the kang does not need to be remanufactured, pick up the pickaxe and enter the house, at this time Cai Qing has already cleaned up the house, and also took the quilt outside the house, taking advantage of the good weather, to bask in the sun on the clothesline outside the house.
The two brothers left, and all the work here was handed over to Song Ziyu alone, Lu Caiqing was worried about his injuries and wanted to help, but he was pulled outside the house and stood under the window to bask in the sun.
Song Ziyu set up the frame, took some soil with a dustpan outside the house, sieved the soil with a sieve, and then used a shovel to form a circle, poured water into the soil and mud, looked at Cai Qing and looked at himself, he poured more and more energetic, Cai Qing was not idle, washed the handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and boiled water to quench his thirst, and when it was almost noon, it was done.
The two had lunch, and Song Ziyu brought wood to burn the kang again. The wet mud dried up in the blink of an eye.
Song Ziyu said: "I'm burning tonight, and it will be dry tomorrow, and I won't squeeze anymore when I sleep in the future." ”
Lu Caiqing heard this, and said coquettishly: "In the future, everyone will always sleep together!" Stupid or not! ”
Song Ziyu thought for a while before he came back to his senses, scratched his head and said, "That's right! I forgot, in the future, the two of us will sleep alone, speaking of which these two boys are not interesting, if they hadn't come in yesterday, I would have ......! ”
Speaking of this, his eyes meowed Lu Caiqing's chest, and there was a small flame burning in his heart, he swallowed his saliva, looked at Lu Caiqing with hot eyes, and said, "Caiqing!" I used to see other women and didn't feel anything, I just didn't think it was the same gender, but now when I look at you, my heart is always itchy, and I always want to be close to you. ”
Lu Caiqing looked at his serious expression, and was suspicious in his heart, this man looked honest, but he said that he understood the affairs of men and women, and he was not very skilled, saying that he didn't understand, and he had no teacher, sometimes he was too honest, but sometimes he would be cautious, looking at his expression and asking himself, he really felt like he didn't understand anything, and he couldn't figure out this man.
"Pick green! You speak! Do you think I'm sick? Song Ziyu continued to ask.
Lu Caiqing was anxious by his question, and replied, "I don't know!" And he ran away.
Song Ziyu looked at her delicate back, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug look.
In the afternoon, Song Ziyu was still teasing Cai Qing with this topic, and Lu Caiqing knew that this man was lying to her again, and the two talked and laughed and laid out the mat on the kang, and the kang that followed was also made up and laid on the mat, because the kang was not fully dry, so they found a few wooden sticks to support it.
The quilt was dried for a day, and when the sun was about to set, Lu Caiqing took the quilt back into the house, the quilt was warm and warm, and it smelled fresh.
Song Ziyu watched Lu Caiqing holding his quilt and didn't let go, and when he smelled it, he jokingly said: "Caiqing!" This ready-made person is here, and if you want to hold me, you can wait for me at any time. ”
When Lu Caiqing heard what he said, he saw that this was his quilt, quickly put it down, glanced at him and said, "Brother Song!" You've learned badly these days, and I said I'm still young, and we'll talk about that kind of thing later. ”
"You're twelve, too, and you're the age of you to have a round house with us." Song Ziyu muttered.
"Oh! You regret it, you promised me, you will talk about it in two years, you are thinking about it now, I am not ready for it! You...... You bully! ”
Lu Caiqing was anxious when he heard his words, his small body had just been conditioned, and he hadn't even come to the minimum menstrual affair yet, now he couldn't wait, he felt wronged, this man didn't even count when he spoke, so he wanted to cry with a crying aggrieved voice.
