"You're back?" Suddenly, Mu Shi's voice came from behind him. He Tu looked back tiredly, and saw Mu Shi standing by the door with the curtain and frowning at her, his expression seemed to be a little caring.

"Why are you alone, Jiahua?" Mu Shi looked outside the gate, didn't see Cheng Jiahua's figure, and turned back and asked, "Have you had a fever?" ”

"Hmm." He nodded and said whimsily, "I'll go back and freshen up." ”

"Wait." Mu Shi stopped her, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Since you are well, hurry up and clean up, there have been a lot of work piled up at home in the past two days, and there is a mess in the charcoal room, you can clean it later, and there are baskets of dirty clothes for Jiaji, Jiaye and Jiayi, you hurry up and wash them, they are talking in front of me every day that there are no clean clothes to wear." ”

"Oh." He replied listlessly, did not stop, and still walked towards the bedroom.

Mu Shi stared at her back and said unhappily: "Why is it like losing your soul, by the way, the money was not spent indiscriminately, right?" It won't cost so much money to see a fever, save some, otherwise I'll see you eat the northwest wind next month. ”

Still absent-mindedly walking forward, he took two steps and suddenly felt that something didn't sound right. Money? What money? She suddenly came to her senses and turned her head to look at her mother-in-law, looking puzzled.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Mu Shi was stared at by her hair, withdrew one foot that was standing diagonally, and asked uncomfortably.

"What money?" He Tu asked weakly, but the confusion in his eyes was even worse, "What does Mom mean?" ”

"You're still playing dumb here." Mu Shi smiled disapprerovingly, "Otherwise, who do you think will pay you when you go to the hospital?" Relying on us to eat and use it all day long, I can't make any money at all. ”

"I went to the hospital, didn't my sister take me there?" He Tu was even more puzzled, "When did Mom give me money?" ”

"You ask Jia Hua to go." Mu Shi impatiently lifted the curtain and prepared to go back, "I'm too lazy to talk to you, remember to do the laundry later!" ”

As if someone had suddenly splashed a bucket of cold water, Hetu stood in place, at a loss. Cheng Jiahua, she muttered these three words in her heart, he could obviously send himself to the hospital, and he also had money to see a doctor for himself, why did he throw himself at his sister's house in the middle of the night, and where did he go? What did he do with the money? The bad feeling in her heart grew stronger and stronger, almost making it impossible for her to stand still. Although the disease had healed, the sequelae were still very strong, she felt very tired, and her heart was anxious and angry, and her eyes were dark, and she almost fell to the ground.

Reluctantly supported back to the bedroom, changed clothes, freshened up a little, took a breath, and prepared to wash the pile of dirty clothes that her mother-in-law said. In winter, the temperature was low and cold, although the water was mixed with hot water, but after a while, the water was still cold, and after washing a bucket of clothes, Hedi's hands were red and swollen from the cold, and he couldn't even stretch. She struggled to her feet, poured out the dirty water, replaced it with a basin of clean water, and prepared to run her clothes through again so that they could be dried. Although he was not feeling well, and his heart was full of grievances and grievances, he still tried his best to do his work beautifully. After washing the clothes, she cleaned the charcoal room and began to clean up the rooms of her brothers and sisters. By the time all this work was done, it was almost dark, the lights in the houses were on, and the smell of food was coming from the large kitchen, and it was already dinner time.

She gasped and sat down on the couch, she couldn't move now, and the only thing she wanted to do at this time was to lie down in bed and get a good night's sleep. It's just that she doesn't eat dinner, Cheng Jiahua still has to eat dinner, and she has to support her to cook. Rubbing her stiff knuckles, she sighed, stood up, and slowly walked out the door.

After this incident, she decided that she could not let herself be sick again. No matter what happens, the body is the basic premise, if you become a waste person first, not only can you not do anything, but you will also provoke the disgust of others, and let yourself be discarded at will like a garbage. Thinking of this, Hedi's heart was blocked again, maybe her mother-in-law was kind, but maybe she just didn't want another daughter-in-law to die in her family and let others gossip. As for Cheng Jiahua, he really doesn't care about himself at all, in his heart, he may just be an indispensable piece of furniture like a bed, a tool that can be used to vent his desires.

After making dinner, she didn't eat a bite, and put it in the pot to keep warm, so that Cheng Jiahua could have a hot meal when he came back. She was so tired that she didn't want anything but sleep now. After a hurried wash, she lay down on the bed, without even transitioning, and fell asleep directly.

When I woke up the next day, it was already dark. He opened his eyes, rubbed his eyes, and turned over slightly. She heard the snoring sound next to her, and knew that Cheng Jiahua came back in the middle of the night again, but she slept too deeply and didn't hear the sound. He Tu propped himself up, turned his head to look at him, the days seemed to be back to the past, and the diligent Cheng Jiahua, who had existed for a few days like a flash in the pan, had disappeared. In the past, Hedi would still bother thinking about how to turn his mind back, but now there is no such plan, she has made up her mind, as long as he gives her money every month, even if he turns the world upside down outside, she doesn't want to care.

After a night's rest, her body had regained its strength, and although it was not as energetic as before, it no longer felt tired. She did things as usual, still said little, and when she had no work to do, she sat on a small kitchen stool and knitted sweaters, except that the sweaters knitted for adults were replaced by those for children. She plans to make a few more clothes for Cheng Yan, don't look at the child who is still young now, but he looks fast, and she needs to prepare a few more large clothes. Fortunately, my parents-in-law like this granddaughter very much, and often take care of her, and Hetu is not so busy that she is at a loss. Before Cheng Yan grew up to the age of two, he was almost taken care of by his parents-in-law, and his feelings were extraordinary.

She had been knitting in the kitchen for a long time that day, and her body was sore from her sitting, so she put down her sweater and stretched her waist backwards. Caught off guard, his arm bumped into Cheng Jiahua, who was opening the curtain and coming in, both of them were stunned, and their movements froze in mid-air.

He Tu gave him a cold look, didn't say anything, lowered his head and still fiddled with the needlework tools in the basket. Cheng Jiahua showed an embarrassed expression, neither advancing nor retreating, so he had to ask, "Why are you sitting here?" Why don't you go back to the house? ”

"I don't want to face someone who just throws me away when I'm sick." He didn't raise his head, his tone was full of mockery, and his thin hands fiddled vigorously with the scissors and sewing cylinders.

"Throw it away?" Cheng Jiahua glanced at her in surprise and asked puzzled. But immediately, he remembered, it seemed that she already knew, he rolled his eyes, put a smile on his face, and said with a little flattery, trying to coax her temper better, "No, I originally wanted to accompany you that day, but there was something temporary, so it was delayed." But I didn't throw you away, I sent you to your sister's house, don't get me wrong. ”

"Where's the money?" He Tu looked up at him coldly, and stretched out a hand forward.

"Money?" Cheng Jiahua looked at her hand, then at her pocket, and said with a smile, "What money?" ”

"Mom's money for you." Hedi's eyes roamed over him, "Mom said that she won't give us living expenses next month, since you didn't use the money to treat me, then give it to me, and I'll save it for the family next month." ”

Cheng Jiahua scratched his head, found a bench and sat down, he thought about it for a while, and said, "I took the money to buy a cabinet." ”

"Cabinets?" He Tu narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "How much did the cabinet cost?" ”

"It's all spent." Cheng Jiahua's expression became excited, "That cabinet is beautiful, you must like it when you see it." ”

"I don't want any cabinets." He Tu looked at him coldly, "Is there a shortage of cabinets in our house?" Will the cabinet allow us to eat and dress well next month? ”

Cheng Jiahua snorted impatiently and said: "You just don't know how to enjoy life, you see what our cabinet has broken into, it's time to change it, just take it as a new look." ”

He Tu didn't finish listening to him, so he stood up, gently beat his waist, and said coldly: "I don't care, next month the money can't be more or less, you have to hand it over to me." ”

"Aren't you embarrassed?" Cheng Jiahua also stood up, his expression became very ugly, "You also know my job, I can't earn much in a month, you ask me to take the same amount, I can't get it next month." ”

He Tu thought about it and felt that it was the same, so he had to reluctantly say: "Okay, you can bring the cabinet back first, as for the money, how much you can get next month, we will plan to use it." ”

Cheng Jiahua's eyes rolled, he took a step forward, lowered his voice and asked, "Don't you save a lot every month........ It doesn't get in the way to take it out and use it......"

Hedi's expression instantly became stern, she turned her head suddenly, looked at Cheng Jiahua sternly, and said sharply: "The money is reserved for Xiao Yan, don't fight its idea!" ”

"Good, good." Seeing that Hetu was angry, Cheng Jiahua hurriedly waved his hand, "If you don't need it, you don't need it." He pursed his lips and walked over to the pot and looked, "Is there any food?" After eating, I will find someone to carry the cupboard. ”

For some reason, He Tu always didn't want to be in the same room with Cheng Jiahua, and she always had an inexplicable dislike for him in her heart. When Cheng Jiahua sat at the table to eat, she returned to the bedroom with a sewing basket, frowning and knitting the small sweater, she really couldn't figure out why he took so much money to buy a cabinet that she didn't need. But the money has already been spent, and it is useless to say that he is useless now, it seems that the money will still have to be in his own hands in the future, if it is put in his hands, maybe the whole family will drink the northwest wind next month.

In the evening, Cheng Jiahua really found someone to bring a large, beautifully decorated and very expensive wardrobe.

The wardrobe was very heavy, and the four men were still a little difficult to lift. The door of the bedroom was too small, and the cabinet was inserted diagonally to get in, but after entering, I didn't know where to put it, so I had to carry it out again, and the old wardrobe was carried out, which made room for the new wardrobe. Although I don't agree with this wayward consumption behavior from the bottom of my heart, I still feel happy when I look at it. When she got married, except for the ones she brought from her own home, almost none of the furniture was new, and they were all left by the previous hostess, how could it be possible to say that she didn't mind in her heart? Seeing that the white-faced and red-flowered wardrobe brought a glimmer of brilliance to the whole room, she almost clapped her hands with excitement.

Cheng Jiahua couldn't help but feel proud when he saw Hedi looking so happy, and said with his chin tilted on the side: "How is it?" Like it, right? ”

He Tu collected his expression, pretended to look at Cheng Jiahua coldly, and said, "It's okay." ”

Cheng Jiahua laughed, pretended to shake his head helplessly, and turned around and walked outside. He hurriedly shouted, "What about the old wardrobe in the yard?" ”

"Let's move it to the storage room later, and sell it to him when the scraps come." Cheng Jiahua shook his head, "It's too broken." ”

He Tu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Didn't you use it to let people touch the old things in this room before?" ”

Cheng Jiahua was stunned, but he didn't speak, and strode outside. He pursed his lips boringly, turned around and continued to watch them put the wardrobe in place, while he kept looking at how to arrange it to make it look better on the outside. When she finally finished cleaning up and the four of them left, she took a basin of water, moistened the rag and wiped it carefully.

Because of this big wardrobe, Hetu didn't care much about where Cheng Jiahua went at night. She wiped the closet and the floor again, and thought that since it was all cleaned, it would be better to clean the whole house. By the time she was done, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, Cheng Jiaye and Cheng Jiayi came back from evening self-study, running and playing in the yard, they opened the curtain and poked their heads into their room, looking at the big wardrobe, but they shook their heads and said with a pout: "It's not as good as the one in Dad's room." ”

"Of course it's not as good as the one in Dad's room." Hearing this, Hetu was a little unhappy, but she still smiled, "After all, I'm a junior." ”

"But I look pretty good." Cheng Jiayi said, "I like this way. She turned her gaze to Hetu and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you can move this wardrobe to my room, it just so happens that I am going to take the exam recently, and I look in a good mood, maybe I can come back first." ”

Hetu's face sank, and he turned his head and said unhappily: "That's not good." ”

"Why?" Cheng Jiayi frowned, in this family, she has always been able to get what she wants, why can't she come to a wardrobe herself, "It's just a wardrobe." ”

Hetu thought to herself, it's just a wardrobe for you, but it's more than that for me. But she pursed her lips tightly and didn't say a word, after all, it is not in line with her age to conflict with her juniors for such a sentence.

"Third brother, did you say?" Cheng Jiayi didn't speak, and turned his head to ask Cheng Jiaye. Cheng Jiaye shrugged her shoulders disappreciably, put down the curtain and walked out, Cheng Jiayi was even more unhappy, she pouted at the old high, stared at Hedi's back for a long time, and turned around and left with a drop of the curtain.
