Yue Wenhai and Miao Erni, two people who can't beat each other with eight poles, seem to be very familiar, but make their cousin and best friend look like outsiders. Cherry was very puzzled.

Erni smiled a little embarrassedly, and her voice was indifferent: "These days are busy with farming, and my family's field is far away from home, my father and my mother eat in the field at noon and don't come back." I can't cook at home, so I can only eat some cold rice that my mother left for me in the morning.

A few days ago, Brother Wen Hai slaughtered pigs in a neighboring village and sent me some pigs into the water, and I happened to meet them, saying that my body was already recovering, if I eat cold rice, when will I recover? So he made me a hot meal. Since then, he has been coming often. As she spoke, she smiled and pointed to Yue Wenhai's dining closet: "Brother Wenhai, today's rice is in the closet." There are a lot of potato cakes left by my mother, and we can eat enough for the three of us. You can stay here for a meal today, and trouble you to help every day, how can you leave when you are done with help, and you won't eat? ”

While Erni was talking, Wen Hai had already made the stove neatly with his hands and feet, neatly put the things to be hot into the pot, lit the fire with flint, and added firewood to the stove: "No, I've already eaten it." Last time, thanks to your tipping, otherwise, I would have suffered the loss of the Li butcher. What am I doing you a favor? ”

"Brother Wen Hai, for this matter, you have already sent two pigs to my house, and you have made countless meals, if you want to say that you owe, I should owe you a favor."

Yes? These two are talking to themselves, and it seems that they can't even interject into the conversation? It's cooking and delivering things again, and Cherry can't help but sigh in her heart: Yo Xi!!

"Second brother, I see you will eat here in a while. I'm out of time, I need to go home quickly. Cherry glanced at Erni, meaning that she would watch the third aunt's affairs. She felt that she should not be in the way here, and that the sisters in the family should also come back, and she had to go back and take a look.

"Hey, Sakura! ~~" Wen Hai hurriedly shouted, but unfortunately the cherry walked fast and was already out of the yard.

Yue Wenhai has always been a big and a bit of a gangster, he likes to fight with people when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't know who he is, and he is very violent. Cherry has been in this world for so long, and she has never heard of Yue Wenhai being able to cook. Who would have thought that when he met Erni, he would not only be able to cook, but also speak softly. If the eldest mother knows about this, she will definitely laugh at him for a few days.

Coming out of Erni's house, go east to the road that leads directly to the small bridge in the east, and then turn around and walk north for a while, and you will arrive at the Xiaomiao Bridge. As soon as I got on the bridge, I saw Mi Tao coming out of his yard from afar, looking hurried, and entered the yard of his uncle's house. The door of the uncle's courtyard was open, and there were many people inside, I don't know what happened.

Cherry beat the drum in her heart, quickly quickened her pace, and walked towards Yue Fu's house.

The courtyard wall of Yue Fu's house is still a row of low fences, but in order for Wenhe to get married, the row of broken fences that were originally crumbling were re-tied with new bamboo and new corn stalks. Cherry approached, and through the low fence, she saw that there were aunts and uncles standing in the yard, star fruit, rice peach and cotton peach, as well as Wen He, and the third uncle, third aunt and fourth aunt were also here.

Everyone had a sad look on their faces, especially the uncle, who was spending time back and forth outside the house.

What's going on? Cherry hurriedly jumped into the yard in two steps, pulled over the walnut closest to her, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Walnut's two watery black jewel-like eyes were red and swollen at this time, she sniffed and said vaguely: "Fourth sister, our grandma accidentally fell today, and there was a lot of blood on her arm. Now the doctor is looking inside. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Cherry put her arms around her, patted her gently and comforted, and looked in through the window of the back room worriedly. Mama is almost 60 years old this year, and she has not woken up for several years, but fortunately, she has been healthy and not sick. Why did you break your arm so badly? She's old, and it's amazing to fall all at once.

At this time, Cotton Peach noticed that Cherry was coming and walked towards her with her feet.

"Third sister." Cherry was serious: "It's so raw, why did you fall?" ”

Mian Tao had a rare calm face, and said softly: "Mama was basking in the sun outside the courtyard, and just remembered to go home to drink saliva, but she happened to be scraped down by a mule cart passing by outside the door. Knocked his arm off. The man leading the mule is from Shuanghe Village, and our uncle knows it. He had asked for the doctor, and now he was going to deliver the mule cart and be back soon. ”

"How could this be!!" If you are scraped by a mule cart, if you fall hard, it is very dangerous for someone of such age.

At this time, Yue Fu, who was walking back and forth in front of the door of the house, roared irritably: "Wen Haina? Where is Wenhai?!!! ”

Wen Daodao on the side: "I went out after eating, but I don't know where I went." ”

Yue Fu scolded impatiently: "Dead boy, endless disasters every day, there is such a big thing at home today, he is not at home!" Wenhe! Get him back for me. ”

"Oh." Wen He hurriedly turned around and ran out of the courtyard.

Seeing that Yue Fu was really angry, Ding Juhua and Yue Ji were a little frightened and didn't dare to say anything.

"Big brother!" Cherry gently grabbed Wen He, who ran past her, and whispered: "Brother Wen Hai is at Erni's house." ”

Wen He was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Oh." Then he turned and ran out of the yard.

After waiting for a while, an old doctor came out of the back room, and Yue Fu hurriedly greeted him: "Doctor, what's wrong with my mother?" ”

The old doctor sighed deeply and said, "My arm is broken, I will pick it up, and I guess it won't move." The rest is easy to say. In the past few days, I have to take medicine and raise it, let alone three months, and I can't move anymore. ”

"Hey, hey." Yue Fu replied and took the prescription from the old doctor's hand.

Zhao Lan took the first step and opened the curtain and entered the house to see. The cherry sisters also ran into the back room to see Mama, and only Mian Tao stood in front of Yue Fu, listening carefully to the doctor's advice.

The third and fourth aunts also went into the house to take a look, and came out after a while. The third aunt said: "That is, if there is nothing to do, I will go home first." There is that person out of the medicine money on the left and right, and it is not a big deal. After saying that, he patted his ass and left.

The fourth aunt was more reasonable, stayed in the courtyard for a while, and asked the grandmother how to take care of the injury, and when the person who led the mule cart came back, everyone discussed the cost of medicine again, and then she went home.

The old man's arm fell like this, and the doctor told him not to move, and she must have someone to take care of her.

Now is the time when the farm is busy, and no one can spare time, Yue Fu and Yue Ji discussed, and the brothers took turns to take care of it.

As for this time during the day, Yue Fu's family left Zhao Lan to take care of her, and the star fruit sisters naturally came to take care of the star fruit, and the third aunt had already left, her family must have come over to the third uncle, and the fourth uncle's family was the fourth aunt.

After the work was divided, everyone gathered around the old lady and asked for warmth before they dispersed.

Since the cost of medicine has not yet been negotiated, the money used for the moment is paid in advance by the brothers. Yue Fu's family has no money, the third aunt refuses to come out, the fourth aunt is silent, and the money can only come from star fruit. has used more than one or two silver, Mi Tao went home to get the money.

When I got home, Mian Tao discussed with star fruit again, took the money out to buy some pork and pork bones and came back, and boiled soup for Mama to drink.

From the next day, the families took turns to take care of the old lady according to the agreement.

During this period, Yue Ji has always taken care of the third family, Ding Juhua has come to see the old lady since the day she was injured, and then she has never shown her face again, and she is angry, and she sighs when she mentions her.

Ten days later, he negotiated with the man who led the mule in the neighboring village the cost of medicine and wounds, totaling three taels and eight hundred pieces of silver. Among them, more than one or two were given to the carambola sisters, and there were seven yuan owed to the pharmacy, and the rest was the old man's injury fee. That is, nutrition and hardship expenses.

returned the money of the star fruit and the money of the pharmacy, and put the rest of the more than one or two in Yue Fu's hands. I was going to use this money to buy some chewy, delicious food for the old man, and make up for it, so as to make up for the blessings that I didn't enjoy in the early years. No matter what the old man said, he has worked hard all his life and has never eaten anything good. In the early years, the family was very poor for a period of time because of the four brothers marrying wives, and the old people could insist on not seeing meat for a few years. I got the skinny skin and bones now, and my face was yellow. It's just that because I often eat the pig brought back by Wenhai during this time, my face is slightly better.

Who knows, as soon as the money arrived, Ding Juhua swaggered to the door to ask for a 'penny'.

"Big brother, our mother is confused now, and she can't spend it if she has money. It's not a small amount of money, and it can't go into your own pocket, right? When we take care of the elderly, each of our families has a share, and now the money naturally has to be divided among each family. ”

"Lizhen Niang, this is our mother's suffering money, how can we share it?" Yue Fu simply didn't know what to say about this third brother and daughter-in-law.

"Why can't you divide it? If this was put aside, our mother would have saved money to share with her sons. If she knew that her precious third son's family was poor and could only eat gruel every day, she would definitely be distressed. Ding Juhua was cheeky and counted her fingers: "Besides, this money is placed in you, others can rest assured, but I am not at ease." If you don't divide it, take the money and let me keep it. "You!!" Yue Fuqi's face flushed: "When I took care of my mother, I didn't see your face, and when I talked about money, I immediately came here." Third daughter-in-law, it's not me talking about you, you're doing it too much!! ”

"Didn't I show up? When it's my family's turn, my family will always send someone to come, who are you in charge of doing what? Anyway, this money has to be shared, and there must be my family's share. As he spoke, he raised his chin and pinched his waist with one hand: "Big brother, in the end, if you want to keep this money, it can't be kept by you, the second family is full of girls, and the head of the fourth family is not there, so it's better to keep it by my family." If so, let's divide it now, and keep it evenly and impartially. Let's see, how is it going to be. ”
