Chapter 30: Sugar Water
"Mother, did you really sell it for so much money? What did Gorou see with his own eyes? The old man who collects honeysuckle said, how much honeysuckle can we pick, they accept it all, and let's dry the honeysuckle, can it be sold at a higher price than wet honeysuckle? ”。 Liu Yihao said that honeysuckle can be sold for money, and those who scatter their feet have to carry a bamboo basket to the mountains to pick honeysuckle.
"Fifth brother, what are you doing, even if you want to pick honeysuckle, you are not in a hurry, after eating, our family will go together, and you will be busy when the time comes." Liu Yiyu pulled Liu Yihao and said.
"Here, it's for you to eat." Liu Yiyu took out the oiled paper wrapped in white-flour steamed buns from the back basket and handed Liu Yimeng three small ones.
"Thank you, big sister, I like you the most." Liu Yimeng took the oil paper bag, opened it and took a look, revealing the snow-white, fragrant white-flour steamed buns inside, and said happily.
"Me too, me too".
The three little ones thanked Liu Yiyu happily, and one of them was happy to eat a white-flour steamed bun.
"You three eat slowly, Grandma still has it here?"
"Fifth brother, you can make a little sugar water for grandma, mother and three little ones to drink, so that they don't choke." Liu Yiyu took out the white sugar in the jar from the back basket and handed it to Liu Yihao.
"Hmm".
"Third sister, you go and wash this pork, we will boil oil later, remember, don't show it." Liu Yiyu took out the fat pork he bought from the back basket and handed it to Liu Yishuang.
"Big sister, I know." Liu Yishuang said, put the fat pork in the wooden basin, and walked towards the spring on the mountain.
After that, Liu Yiyu put out the plates, soup bowls, and chopsticks he bought one by one, and brought the wooden hairpins bought by Grandma and Auntie, the red ropes of his sisters, and the Baotou cloth towels bought by Liu Yihao and Liu Yiyang one by one and gave them to them.
"Eldest sister, why do you buy these haves or not, grandma's hair, use a wooden girl to pull it up and insert it, and this wooden hairpin is used there." Grandma said this, but her hand was holding the wooden hairpin, her eyes were slightly red, and she was both happy and distressed about the copper plate.
"Eldest sister, next time you want to buy it, buy it for your grandma and younger siblings, your mother is dozens of years old, and your father is ...... Mother's .....".
"Grandma, mother, this is your daughter and granddaughter's filial piety to you, you just have to take it, and when your daughter and granddaughter make money, next time I will buy you copper, silver, and gold belts, grandma and mother will take it very good." Liu Yiyu said after bringing a wooden hairpin to his grandmother and his mother.
"Okay, this family has worked hard, the eldest sister, grandma helped the eldest sister carry things in." After grandma and her mother heard Liu Yiyu's words, their eyes turned red, and they couldn't bear to cry and wiped the corners of their eyes.
"Mother, this is the roe deer, honeysuckle and the remaining silver money from the ten embroidered handkerchiefs you embroidered when I went to the town today, you can save it!" Liu Yiyu handed the thirteen hanging coins wrapped in a white cloth from the bottom of the back basket to Liu Lidao.
"Big ......, big sister, why do you have so much money." Liu Li opened the cloth bag and took a look, and after seeing that there were thirteen hanging coins in it, he was shocked and hurriedly wrapped it in a white cloth bag, and then, Liu Li seemed to be uneasy, looked outside the cave, and said to Liu Yiyu with some nervousness.
"Is this a few new patterns that my daughter has drawn for her mother to embroider on a blank embroidered handkerchief? Today, when I arrived at the Splendid Cloth Shop, a rich lady bought it with two taels of silver, and the Yellow Shopkeeper gave her daughter a tael of silver, and the Yellow Shopkeeper also said, we will have fresh patterns in the future, and the Splendid Cloth Store will use a hundred copper plates to buy the patterns? ”。
"Eldest sister, grandma said, in the future, our family will let the eldest sister be the master, let's listen to the eldest sister's words in the future, eldest sister, you will collect the money first."
"Grandma, the eldest sister is a junior after all, plus there is a grandma and a mother, the eldest sister is not the turn of the family to be the master, if it is known by the villagers of Shangou Village, how can the eldest sister and the younger siblings be seen." Liu Yiyu lowered his head and rubbed the ground under his feet.
"This .....". When Grandma heard the eldest sister's words, she was stunned.
The eldest sister is right, the Liu family still has its own old bones, and the eldest sister is also there, the Liu family let the eldest sister an unmarried girl be the master of the house, and it was known, and I thought that the children of the Liu family were spicy and difficult to mess with, and this reputation was spread, which made the eldest sister say that no matter what people said in the future, the reputation of the younger brothers and sisters under the ground would be ruined.
"Mother, or, let the eldest sister hide this money first, let's say that the mother is in charge, secretly, let's let the eldest sister give us ideas, mother, what do you think?" Liu Li thought of a compromise and said.
"That's it". Liu Zhang's clapping was finalized.
"Well, since grandma and mother let the eldest sister be the master of the house, the eldest sister also said her own thoughts, the eldest sister wants to take advantage of this honeysuckle to sell the silver money, let's find a way, get a household registration in the ravine village, settle down in the ravine village, and then, find another place, let's also build a new house, after all, the cave can't live in the old people.
First, it is not safe, and secondly, summer is coming, the cave is damp, and the winter is cold, the eldest sister and younger siblings are young, so they can hold on, and grandma is old, and Auntie's body is not very good, and it is not suitable to live in the cave? ”。
"Eldest sister, your grandmother agrees with this idea, but can this honeysuckle be sold for so much money? First, we are not locals of Shangou Village, and secondly, we have no land to build a house, if we build a new house in Shangou Village, grandma estimates that we can't build a new house without a dozen taels of silver? ”。
"The eldest sister estimated that this time our family went out to pick honeysuckle, almost a dozen taels of silver can be picked, almost the money to build a house, this year our family started late, if you pick honeysuckle earlier, not only pick these money?". Liu Yiyu thought about it in his heart.
"Grandma, Auntie, and eldest sister came out to drink sugar water." Yoo Yihao outside the cave shouted loudly.
"The fifth brother, the eldest sister and the grandmother and the mother came out, the matter of the grandmother and the mother building a house is just a plan in the eldest sister's heart, not to mention that now our family does not have much money, whether we can build a house in the autumn, whether we can settle in the ravine village These are unknown, let's not worry about the sky, just try to live in the moment, let's go out to drink sugar water."
"Eldest sister, is this sugar water so delicious?" Liu Yimeng licked her moist lips and said when she saw Liu Yiyu come out.
"Drink more if it's good." Liu Yiyu smiled and touched Liu Yimeng's head.
"Eldest sister, I want it too, what about the sweet and delicious taste?" Liu Yile handed the empty bamboo tube to Liu Yiyu and said coquettishly.
"Okay, my mother will pour it for you". Liu Li saw the smile and happiness on his children's faces, Liu Li's heart was warm, and he felt very relieved, at least at this moment, don't worry about eating, don't worry about how to live tomorrow's life, the family is good, better than anything.
