Chapter 12 Good things don't stay overnight
When they got home, they saw so many rattling copper plates piled up on the kang, and the five sisters just jumped up and shouted wildly.
God knows, after the father and mother left, it was not easy for their female doll's family to make money. Three carambolas, rice peaches and cotton peaches do embroidery work for people, and sometimes it takes a whole day to earn five cents, and they also need good workmanship. Star fruit sometimes takes on laundry work for people, washing a large basin of clothes to earn three cents.
Seven hundred and seventy-three dollars piled up in front of you, what kind of visual and nerve impact is it?
"Why don't you buy a piece of meat and come back? Let's make a meat meal today!! The first time she saw that star fruit was so generous, she looked up at the sun outside, and said to Mian Tao: "Since my mother was sick, we haven't eaten meat, look at the thin yellow appearance of walnuts?" While it's still early, you can go to town again and buy us a piece of meat. After a while and lunch, I'll go get some wild vegetables before the net is closed, and we'll fry a piece of meat to eat in the evening. ”
The family doesn't have much money, in fact, it should be saved at this time, but the cherries haven't eaten meat for a long time. She was about to say, 'Forget it,' but instead she said, "Great!!" We're going to eat meat~~"
Mian Tao originally wanted to object, but when she saw Walnut's eager eyes, her heart beat fast, she reached out and grabbed a handful from the copper plate, and counted out twenty Wen: "Okay." Just tell me to go and weigh the pounds of meat back, and the sisters should also taste the taste of meat slices. ”
"Hmm. You go now, and come back before noon. Remember to carry the bamboo basket on your back, it's best not to let others know about our meat. ”
"Hey, I know~~" Cotton Peach responded, and the person had gone to the Westinghouse to get the bamboo basket.
"Second brother, put the money away. Wait a while for Mian Tao to come back, and in the afternoon, the four sisters will go to catch ducks. After the boycott, I picked another good one and sent it to the Akiyama family. As he spoke, the star fruit turned to the cherry: "Ying'er, from tomorrow onwards, I will ask your third sister to sell ducks by herself." You are obedient and follow your sisters to catch ducks. In this way, there is no need to trouble people in Akiyama. ”
Mi Tao was quick-mouthed: "Sister, I think you can't bear that duck, right?" ”
Star fruit was happy, her eyes were wet, and she generously admitted what Mi Tao said: "I can't take care of others now." When the ducks are sold for money, our food will be gone, and this yard and this dilapidated house should also be repaired. As he spoke, he looked at the rice peaches, cherries and walnuts one by one: "I still have to save money, so that when you get married, you will have a dowry that can be seen." Although our father and mother are gone, I can't let you be underestimated because of this matter, and save your in-laws from being humiliated and suffocated. ”
Seeing that the star fruit wiped her eyes, she wanted to continue, but Cherry hurriedly stopped: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, let's talk a little far." If you want to get married, you are the first one. When you're married, it's not too late to think about your sisters. She didn't know how many days she would be able to make this money, and she was worried about it. If she couldn't sell ducks, she really couldn't find a second person who could make such a profit for a while.
She wiped her face with her sleeve: "For now, we must guard this matter." If this method of catching ducks allows others to go, there will be no good things for us. ”
"Yes, yes, I know that." Star fruit sniffed and nodded: "So I don't dare to let others see our family eating meat and hemp." The yard of the house will not be repaired until enough money is earned. ”
At this time, Mi Tao had already collected the money: "When you save the money, you have to pick a day to exchange it for silver." The copper plate is too heavy. ”
"It's just you." Carambola glared at her and got down from the kang: "It's almost time, let's start working on this lunch meal." When the third child comes back, he can eat it when he enters the door. ”
However, the sisters didn't wait for Mian Tao, but waited for Wang Mancang, the neighbor of the third aunt.
Wang Mancang and Ding Juhua are fellow villagers, and they are not locals. A mouth, a foreign accent. He seemed to pass by the small courtyard of the Yue family by accident: "Yo, star fruit, what do you eat at noon, you smell this fragrance from afar?" ”
"Steamed nest head, walnuts got some wild vegetables. Uncle Mancang, it's time to eat, you haven't gone home yet? Star fruit replied politely. In fact, there is a little old duck soup, which is boiled by the one caught by the cherry on the first day, and the meat has been eaten, and the star fruit has to be heated at noon every day to add a meat to the sisters.
"What's the hurry, your aunt has just started cleaning up the stove." Wang Mancang actually raised his feet and entered the courtyard: "Star fruit, look at the small courtyard of your house, it is really bright." Much neater than when your dad was there. As he spoke, he looked around, slipped away, and slipped to the duck house.
Mi Tao sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly walked over: "Uncle Mancang, come into the house and sit?" ”
Wang Mancang didn't seem to hear it, pointed to the ducks in the duck house and smiled: "Yang'er, when did your family raise ducks?" ”
"I bought it a few days ago, I was ready to spend the winter, and I raised it to lay eggs." Star fruit also felt that something was wrong, and raised her feet and walked to the duck house.
"But how do I look at it, it doesn't look like a domestic duck, but like a wild duck? Tell me to open the cage and take a closer look," he said, and he went to open the door of the duck house.
Mi Taoyan was in a hurry, and stepped forward to stop: "It's all bought ducks." The duck is still laying eggs, don't be alarmed. ”
"Look at you, what are you still stopping, what are you lying. Are mallards wild ducks? Wang Mancang grinned and smiled a little miserably: "I met cotton peaches at the market today, she sells wild ducks at the market, and it is quite expensive." ”
"What a wild duck, this is a domestic duck in my house." Mi Tao stiffened her mouth and wanted to tear Wang Mancang away from the duck house. But Wang Mancang is an adult man, which is a little female doll moving?
Seeing the situation, star fruit hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Uncle Mancang, my duck is laying eggs, don't surprise me, this is my family's food, what if I am shocked?" ”
Wang Mancang grinned: "How can two female dolls pull me?" I'll have to see if there's a wild duck in here. Saying that, regardless of the obstruction of star fruit and rice peach, he was going to open the door of the duck house.
"Uncle Mancang, what are you doing here?" The carambola's anxious voice was full of crying.
Mi Tao was unceremoniously: "Wang Mancang!" What are you going to do, you keep me away from my duck house!! "This person is lazy and gluttonous, doesn't like to work, loves to wander around blindly every day, and has always been a second-rate figure in the village. Now, despite his sisters' obstructions, he wants to force open the door of the duck house, what is the difference between this and banditry? What are you angry with him?
"Can you stop me? I'm going to see if it's a mallard duck here, and how did you get it? Wang Mancang stretched out his hand to the door of the duck house, but due to the desperate pulling of star fruit and rice peach, this hand stretched out a little hard.
"Walnut, go next door and call Uncle and Auntie." Cherry knew that Wang Mancang was deliberately looking for trouble, so she stretched out her hand and pushed the walnut, picked up the small hoe at home and ran to the front of the duck house: "You dare to move!" ”
"Yo drink, there's a little one." Wang Mancang couldn't reach the duck house door after a few strokes, and he was a little annoyed: "Don't let me touch it, right?" I'm just going to touch it! I think what can you little girl doll in this yard do to stop me? As he spoke, he began to roll up his sleeves.
"Wang Mancang! You second-rate bitch, old rascal, get out of my house quickly!! Mi Tao was anxious, and opened her mouth to scold.
"Uncle Mancang, don't be like this, you go quickly, I beg you...... Star fruit is soft begging.
Cherry squinted, clenched the hoe in his hand, and aimed at Wang Mancang: "If you dare to take another step forward, my hoe will be unkind." This is just milled a few days ago, and it is very profitable. ”
"You dare? I think you dare? Wang Mancang glared and struggled forward.
Cherry was trying to swing his hoe at once, so that this rascal would bleed a little and have a long memory. By the way, also scare the people in the village who covet a few sisters. At this time, a voice full of anger and anger sounded at the gate of the courtyard:
"Wang Mancang!! You blind thing, dare to come up here and play tricks?! You're no one in my Yue's family, aren't you? ”
Saying that, Yue Fu walked into the courtyard with his heavy uncle, followed by Yue Fu's daughter-in-law Zhao Lan and Walnut, as well as his two sons, Wen He and Wen Hai. Wenhe Wenhai each held a farm tool in his hand, followed Yue Fu into the yard with a fierce attitude, stepped forward to protect several younger sisters behind him, surrounded Wang Mancang at a angle, and faced him with the farm tool in his hand.
"Brother...... Elder brother...... Are you here? Wang Mancang shrank and smiled cheekily. He didn't expect Yue Fu to be at home, and he didn't expect him to come over. This Yue Fu, although he usually has a soft temperament, is really fierce, but he is not emotional. And the people are five big and three thick, and there are two small ones here......
"Yang'er, quickly bring rice peach and cherry up here," the eldest lady Zhao Lan beckoned to the star fruit.
Carambola came back to her senses, and quickly pulled Mi Tao and Cherry to hide behind the eldest mother.
"Wang Mancang, what do you mean? The yard is full of female dolls, and you dare to enter? It's a man, he has a lot of strength, and he still wants to be hard, don't you? Are you called a man? Don't you want to be a man anymore? Yue Fu glared, and his voice was deafening. He was genuinely.
"If my sisters are scared, I can't spare you!!" Wen He also stared at a pair of eyes.
Wen Hai directly put the shovel on Wang Mancang's shoulder: "The surname is Wang, I am not as good-tempered as my father and my eldest brother." If you don't have some blood today, you can get out of this yard! ”
"Brother Fu, Brother Fu, I have something to say, we have something to say" Wang Mancang's frightened legs trembled: "I, I'm not joking with a few nieces, joking ......"
"Phew! Are you kidding that? If we're not home today, do you have to snatch all the ducks? My sisters' lives are hard enough, aren't you still human? Wen Hai raised the shovel horizontally, and the sharp iron edge was close to Wang Mancang's face: "Sensei, talk nonsense with me, let's talk, where do you want blood?" ”
"Don't don't ......" Wang Mancang looked at Yue Fu with a crying voice, begging: "Brother Fu...... The rich brother ...... "He wanted to reach out and touch the shovel but didn't dare, and his two hands fell dryly in the air." His legs were slightly bent and shaking slightly, as if he would be frightened and incontinent at any moment.
