When the sisters entered the lower room, Mao Mao took out two nests from her arms and said with a smile: "Sister, this is what Mao Mao secretly hidden, eat it." ”

Liu Wu put the nest head on the tip of his nose and sniffed, and said with a smile: "Maomao, it seems to smell of mud......"

"Where's the mud?" Mao Mao looked at the catkins with innocent eyes.

Liu Ya was rare to be smart, and said lightly: "Sister is saying that you are dirty, you haven't taken a bath, and you have mud balls......."

Mao Mao's face turned red in a hurry: "Eldest sister, how can there be, since you woke up after being knocked unconscious by Ma Liu'er, you forced me to take a bath with Sister Ya'er every once in a while, and even the lice grubs are gone......"

Liu Mao didn't pay attention to this sentence, but Liu Mao mentioned Ma Liu'er.

Liu Wu took Liu Mao's hand and said solemnly: "Mao Mao, do you know that Ma Liu'er knocked me out?" Why didn't you say it when I asked you a few days ago, but only said that you saw a dark shadow, but you didn't see who it was? ”

Liu Mao's face was swollen and red, and he felt embarrassed to be caught, and he said like a mosquito chirping for a long time: "Eldest sister, Mao Mao doesn't want to deceive eldest sister." It was my mother who said it, and if I didn't say it, it was for the good of the eldest sister, so that Mao Mao died in the stomach. ”

The catkins have a feeling that they have the strength of a thousand catties, and finally hit the cotton bale, and the lungs are blown up, but there is nowhere to vent.

Although Liu is pedantic, the starting point is for the reputation of Liu Wu, but Ren Liu Wu can't imagine how she can see Ma Liu'er, the enemy, and be calm?

If you don't know, you won't be able to take precautions, and what if you fall for Ma Liu'er for the second time?

Liu Wu's mood suddenly felt so depressed that he didn't even take off his clothes and lay on the kang.

When Liu returned to the house, he only saw the lonely back of Liu Wu, thinking that Liu Wu was tired, and sighed and said: "This Nizi, I didn't even take off my clothes and fell asleep, I must have felt cold in the middle of the night, so let's go fill some firewood." ”

Liu turned around and walked out of the house for the second time, sighed and went to pick up a large bundle of firewood, filling the stove little by little, and from time to time there was the sound of Liu's coughing from the smoke.

Liu Fu's heart suddenly felt sour, and he wanted to slap himself, although Liu was a little pedantic, but the starting point of everything seemed to be for his own good, and he really shouldn't bring his temper into his emotions.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep a little, and in a blur, I only felt that my body was very hot, and my clothes were wet with sweat.

A hand gently groped for himself.

Liu Fu tried to open his eyes, and Liu was carefully lifting his arm and taking off his half-wet clothes.

Seeing the catkins wake up, Liu worriedly probed the forehead of the catkins with the palm of his hand, and then put his heart down and said: "It's all bad to blame the mother, you and the buds have taken back a lot of firewood these days, your grandmother is busy with the willow tree and can't watch it tightly, so the mother wants to burn more, but I didn't expect to burn the kang so hot, but the house is still so cold, this time I sweat all over my body, if I have a wind chill, how can it be good." ”

Liu Wu laughed softly: "Mother, don't blame yourself, this house is cracked so big, the kang is on fire, and people are lying on it, like sticking cakes, one side is paste, and the other side is still alive, no one has a move, tomorrow I will go to the uncle, the second uncle and the uncle to talk, let them help and mud plugging." ”

Liu looked at the crack in the wall worriedly, nodded and said, "Let's talk about it." ”

Liu Wu nodded, and understood in her heart that Liu was afraid that she would be said by Song, Qiao or Chen, and that she would be uncomfortable listening to it, so she would rather be ridiculed herself, but Liu Wu understood better in her heart that Liu Shi said it in vain, and in the end, no one would really help, and the later facts also proved Liu Wu's guess, and all the houses refused on the pretext that Liu Shu was busy.

As soon as the words were opened, the estrangement between the two mothers had long been forgotten, and Liu's face was warm and the catkins took off their semi-wet clothes, and an object fell on the kang with a "click".

It was too late for catkins to take it back.

Liu picked up the dark green purse, and stroked it with trembling hands, this smooth material is really good;

Dumping the purse, fifty copper plates fell out of it, and the crunchy sound was very good.

Liu's face changed, and he said in a trembling voice: "Su'er, you, where did you get this money?" “

This material is the silk that only nobles can afford, and it is not at all what ordinary people can afford.

In order to dress the silk, Liu Shu has been facing the Zhou family for several days, and even scolded the Zhou family for being a woman, and should hand over the key to the family, and let the sons and grandsons take charge of Yunyun.

In the past few days, the atmosphere of the entire Liu family has been unexpectedly weird, which is also the reason why the Zhou family has not had time to find Liu Fu in the past few days.

Liu Fu sighed, and regretted that he didn't put the fifty copper plates there with He, and now that Liu asked, he didn't know how to answer.

After thinking about it for a long time, he sighed and said, "Mother, I borrowed it from Aunt Zhao." The eldest brother is about to get married, the eldest aunt, the second aunt and the little sister-in-law are busy making good-looking clothes to wear, only you, the clothes are washed so that you can't see the original color, not to mention, the placket and sleeves are so big and so many patches, the new daughter-in-law enters the door, It can't be too shabby, and people look down on it......"

Liu Wu originally wanted to say that he borrowed Liu Changdi, but in view of Liu's mustard for Liu Changdi and He's mustard, Liu Wu temporarily changed his mouth and buckled it on the head of Zhao Ergang's mother, Zhao, for no other reason, she was only familiar with Liu Changdi's family and Zhao Ergang's family.

After telling this lie, I will definitely ventilate in advance tomorrow morning, so as not to make the donkey's lips wrong and make Liu suspicious.

Liu looked down at his clothes, on the placket of the clothes, a brown piece of cloth was patched on the white skirt, how abrupt it looked; The sleeves and elbows are worn badly, and I don't know how many times I have made up for them, and the fabric is a little rotten, so that Liu has to roll up the cuffs every time he does work, for fear that he will not even be able to repair the patch if it is broken.

What woman doesn't love beauty? Liu's head is low, since his man is sick, Liu's waist has never been stiffened, the man died six years ago, and his status has deteriorated, and he has not bought new clothes for more than ten years.

What makes Liu's heart unrelieved is that he is burdened by himself, and the three babies also suffer hardships, the same grandson, the same granddaughter, but the treatment in the Liu family is very different.

Seeing that Liu Shi heard it in his heart, Liu Mao sighed again, and said sadly: "Mother, Mao Mao has never seen her father in her life, I don't know what it looks like to have a father who hurts, she has grown so big that she has never even eaten a piece of sugar, and the wicker always uses sugar to gluttonize Mao Mao; Now it's been three or nine days, and the big toes of Ya'er's cotton shoes are all pushed out, and they itch when they get hot on the kang....."

Liu's eyes were suddenly wet, and he raised his eyes to look at the thin and ragged catkins, except for the hairy hair and buds, the most bitter was the eldest daughter's catkins.

From the age of four, the catkins had to help Liu take the willow buds, and at the age of eight, he went up the mountain to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables; At the age of twelve, he began to help with laundry and fire.

Now Su'er is also thirteen years old, and she has reached the age of saying that she is married, and the girls who look like Liuhe Village can count them, but they can't keep up with the food, they look thin and dry, and they don't have clothes and jewelry.
