CHAPTER XXIV
CHAPTER XXIV
The rickety ox cart on Ye Shaoke's side slowly drove to the door of his own tattered house, and the Lan family and Ye Jing also returned home, weaving something similar to a cabinet out of bamboo in the dilapidated yard, just just formed.
They were stunned when they saw an ox cart full of things parked in front of their house, and even Ye Yintao, the little guy playing in the yard, stood in place and stared at the ox cart at the door with big eyes.
They live at the foot of the back mountain is very remote, and the surrounding land is panicked, because there are often wild beasts in the mountains going down the mountain to look for food, and the people in the village dare not plant food on this wasteland even if they are hungry, so usually no one in this area appears, but now they see an ox cart full of goods parked in front of their house, so they didn't expect who would come for a while.
The two brothers and sisters got down from the ox cart, and after seeing the two of them, Ye Jing and the little guy came back to their senses.
"Brother, second sister, you're back, Xiao Tao wants to do it so much." Ye Yintao was the first to react, and he rushed towards the two. The little guy didn't forget to hug Ye Shaoke's two thighs as he spoke, and looked at her with the cute eyes of the dead.
Hearing the little guy's milky voice, Ye Shao rubbed the little guy's hair lovingly, pinched his cute and stupid face, and quipped: "Do you miss us or do you want us to bring you something delicious?" He also scratched his little nose with his fingers.
The little guy rubbed his nose after being abused by his eldest sister, with a rather dissatisfied expression, but he said something against his will: "Of course I miss you, I have missed you since you went out." ”
"Haha, this little brother's mouth is as sweet as honey, it seems that he doesn't have to eat those delicious snacks later, it's too sweet and tiresome."
Ye Yinfeng couldn't help but joke when he saw his cute little brother.
Ye Jing and Lan Shi saw their two children standing in the courtyard, and only then did they react, they looked at the ox cart behind the two of them, their mouths were wide open, and they looked incredulous.
Ye Jing was the first to put down the bamboo piece in his hand, put away his surprised chin, and said, "Shake, why did you buy so many things, your father didn't give you too much money when you went out, where did these things come from?" ”
Lan Shi also reflected after hearing her husband's words at this time, and her heart was also full of doubts, and she hurriedly asked: "Yes, Xiaofeng, what are you and your sister doing?" ”
"Daddy, let's move things into the house first and wait a while." Ye Yinfeng looked at the old man who was driving the car behind him, and hurriedly took over the words.
"Okay, then move in together quickly, it's not good if someone passes by and sees it." Lan Shi also saw that something was wrong and said carefully, and looked at the road outside, making sure that no one was passing by, before retracting his gaze and giving everyone a reassuring look.
The coachman also helped unload the things, and soon moved the cartload full of goods to the hall.
He took advantage of the moving things to look inside the house, how could such a poor family afford to buy so many good things? He is also very curious, but he can't ask the owner's family, and his curiosity has been so suffocated all the way.
After moving things, Ye Shao can pay the coachman 30 yuan, originally from the town to Baiye Village is not far away, generally charter an ox cart for about 10 yuan, the coachman took the copper plate in his hand and thanked him again and again.
"Girl, you have such a good heart, we only gave ten wen before, and you gave thirty wen at once, which is too much."
"Uncle is not much, you have accompanied us to run so many places in the town, and when you return home, you have helped move east and west, and you are also tired, which is not much."
"Then thank you girl, you are such a kind-hearted person."
The coachman looks old, thinking that coming out to catch the car must be forced by life, Ye Shaoke, as a modern soul, is very unaccustomed to these old people, in order to make a living, he has to get up early and be busy all day long.
When hiring a car, there were also a lot of strong laborers to catch the car, but Ye Shaoke chose this old man for the past, and he was also considerate of his difficulty.
Hearing the driver's thanks, Ye Shao smiled embarrassedly, thinking to himself, if you were born in the 21st century, you would have pension insurance every month, then you don't have to work so hard.
When the coachman drove the ox cart away from Ye Shaoke's house, the Lan family soon pulled Ye Shaoke and went to the hall.
After entering, he left the youngest Ye Yintao in the courtyard and asked him to guard the courtyard, and when someone came, he called someone immediately, and it felt like he was being a thief.
"Shake, you honestly, where did you get these things, when you and your eldest brother went to town, Mingming's father only gave you fifty yuan, and you can't buy so many things without a few taels of silver?"
"Mother, I only learned today that my little sister is a loser, where are so many things only a few taels of silver? At least she spent more than twenty taels today! ”
Ye Yinfeng finally found a chance to complain.
"Ahh Lan Shi screamed, his face turned pale as soon as he could, and he almost didn't stand firmly, but Ye Jing beside him hurriedly held on.
Ye Shaoke glanced at his eldest brother: "Are you taking revenge on me, I won't spend money to make money for anything, stupid!" ”
After speaking, he glared at his eldest brother angrily.
"Shake, you spent twenty taels today? Are you borrowing from a loan shark? ”
Ye Jing also asked in surprise.
For their countrymen, twenty taels is a lifetime, and it is not easy to save!
"Dad, mother! Don't guess, big brother did it on purpose! ”
As he spoke, he pretended to take out a few silver ingots from his bosom, four of fifty taels, and one of ten taels and some broken silver. A pile of copper plates was poured out, and there was a contract.
Looking at the silver and copper plates piled on the tattered small table, Ye Jing and Lan's legs suddenly weakened. After coming back to his senses, Lan hurriedly picked up a bunch of things on the table and ran to the inner room, not forgetting to tell them to hurry up and enter the inner room.
Her actions and expressions made Ye Shaoke stunned for a while. "I really didn't see it, mother, you still have such a cute side.
When Ye Jing was a child helping the landlord's family herd cattle in the next village, he often went to the private school in that village to secretly listen to other students' classes, and he also worked hard and learned a lot of words.
And Lan also taught her some words when her father was still alive when she was very young, until she met her husband, the two were in love, regardless of Jiang's opposition, and Lan's father soon went with her mother and entrusted Lan to Ye Jing.
When Ye Shaoke took out a contract from his arms, the two looked at the three words on it and were stunned before they could continue to read it.
"Shake, are you really borrowing usury as your father said, how can our family pay back so many usury?"
"Haha, haha......" Ye Yinfeng couldn't help it, and hugged his stomach next to him and laughed.
Sister, tell your father and mother, I, I don't have the strength to speak, it's so funny.
Ye Shaoke glanced at him speechlessly.
"Daddy, I didn't go to borrow a loan shark, but in our family's situation, the loan shark is willing to borrow us!"
"Yes, yes, look at our urgency!"
Lan's head seemed to suddenly open up.
"Then Shake, where did you get so much silver?"
"Didn't I say go to town and see if there's any business going on? That's what I earned today. ”
Shaoke hurriedly explained that she was also afraid of her imaginative father.
"Really? My house is shaking so much! ”
Ye Jing was overjoyed, he had never found out that his daughter was such a capable person, but it seems that it was different after the last injury, and it doesn't matter, looking at this appearance, she is my daughter, it is impossible to be replaced! It must be the old man in the back mountain who really taught his daughter a lot of skills.
"Really, Daddy, how can Shake lie to you, isn't there still a big brother who goes with me? You ask him. ”
Ye Shaoke directly threw the trouble to his eldest brother who was watching the show on the side.
Unscrupulous, unscrupulous, he praised him for being stupid in the morning, why did he behave so unscrupulously in such a short time! It seems that Miss Ben also has a time to look away!
Lan Shi and Ye Jing pulled Ye Yinfeng and asked for a while, and Ye Yinfeng had to patiently explain what was going on in the town today.
But Ye Shaoke walked into the hall and turned out a series of snacks, beckoning the little guy outside the courtyard to come in and eat.
In the morning, Ye Shaoke only drank a bowl of multigrain porridge with clear soup and soup, and she was already so hungry that her chest was close to her back, who made her still a girl at her age still develop, she had to be full!
The little guy looked at the snacks on the table, and his eyes were shining golden! I don't know which one to eat first!
"Eat as much as you want, sister is enough!" Ye shook his hand heroically.
"Wow! Sister, it's so beautiful when you say this! Like a fairy! ”
"Just you kid has a poor mouth!"
Ye Shaoke held the snack in one hand and did not forget to free up the other hand to pinch the little guy's forehead.
The little guy didn't resist anymore, just smiled stupidly, and then beckoned to the snacks on the table with his hands empty.
The two of them ate happily in the hall, and two of the three people in the room were in a mood that was up and down like a roller coaster.
And the other Ye Yinfeng told Ye Shao the process of spending money one by one as if he was telling his pains, how much he hoped that his loving father and mother could discipline his sister who spent money like flowing water!
"Haha, my family is very smart, who can be like her, she can earn a few hundred taels of silver in two hours after going out, good, good, good! Better than her father! ”
Ye Jing proudly boasted of his daughter.
Er Lan sobbed on the side: "Our family is finally able to come out, and the children are finally living a good life, thanks to our competitive daughter!" ”
"What's the situation, why don't you go out to preach and preach the little sister, she spends money without blinking her eyes."
Ye Yinfeng was crazy.
