Chapter 65: The Old House
Seeing Lao Yutou's complicated gaze, Zhang's heart suddenly burst into his heart, afraid that he would say something that he shouldn't say, so he hurriedly shouted at him at the top of his voice: "It's gone!" That's all! The family didn't hold the gold mountain, and the money for a dozen taels of medicine was spent, how much silver could there be? ”
Xiaocao saw that she was just hiding her panic with a loud voice, and knew that there must be more than this money at home, but as long as she could divide the family smoothly, she didn't care so much. However, she didn't want Zhang to treat everyone else as a fool, so she said, "If it's gone, it's gone!" What are you shouting? I don't know, I thought you had a weak heart! ”
"Weak heart? What is my heart empty? You are a dead girl, you know how to talk back all day long, in the morning, I should really sell you......" Zhang's face was a cannibal, if it weren't for the village chief and the family, she would have pounced on the dead Nizi and gave her a mouthful.
"The granddaughter of our Yu family, how can you sell it when you say it?" In the morning, a strange woman came to the third brother's house, who was said to be a woman from the town. There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news that Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law want to sell their twin sisters has spread in the village.
Yu Lichun, who is the eldest brother, glared angrily and took out the majesty of the boss. However, everyone underestimated the combat effectiveness of Zhang's shrew.
In the end, after the Zhang family was crying and sprinkling, Xiaocao's family only received two taels of silver. In the evening, Lao Yutou sat on the kang head, smacked the old cigarette pouch, and ignored Zhang's petty intentions.
Zhang sighed and said, "I know you blame me for not taking out the three hundred taels of silver sent by Zhao Orion." But I'm also for the good of our family! In the past, you always thought that the second child was capable and promising, and the family pointed to him.
But after all, he had an accident, and now the hope of the whole family is pinned on the third child, doesn't Mr. always praise the third child's efforts? After the scientific examination next year, if he wins the show, Mr. will recommend him to go to the school of Mr. Yuan, a famous Confucian in the town.
I have inquired, Mr. Yuan is a talented man of the previous dynasty, he has been out of the list in the school, exploring the flowers, and there are many Jinshi people! Our third child, don't you have a half-immortal approving life, saying that you have the talent to lift people? Can't afford to delay! ”
Seeing that Lao Yutou's face had improved a little, Zhang made persistent efforts and said, "I know, these three hundred taels were exchanged for one leg of the second child." But think about it, if the third child is out of business, he will come back from earning an official body in the future, and take care of the second room more, isn't it! ”
Lao Yu pouted at the mouth of the cigarette pouch, didn't take a puff for a long time, and finally sighed deeply and said, "I'm sorry for the mother of the sea for not taking good care of the two children...... He was greedy for the money that the sea had exchanged for his life, alas, ......"
Seeing that the old man was still thinking about the dead ghost, Zhang's heart overturned the vinegar jar, but for the sake of the three hundred taels of silver, she couldn't help but not quarrel with the old man. With these three hundred taels of silver in his hands, and sending the second family a burden, Zhang's heart is sweeter than drinking honey.
The family was finally divided as he wished, and his father looked much more energetic, and Yu Xiaocao's three sisters and brothers were happier than the New Year, chattering and laughing around their parents.
Liu's heart was full of confusion about the future, but seeing that the children were happy, they could be the masters of their own house in the future, and they were no longer angry with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but hook up a gentle smile.
Yu Hai was moved by this gentle smile back then, how many years have passed, it seems that since he married into their family, the smile that made his heart move has become less and less seen.
Ignoring the children's side, he quietly took his daughter-in-law's hand and looked at her with a smile. Liu's face flushed, he struggled slightly, and before he broke away from his hand, he led it.
Yu Xiaocao looked at the subtle tenderness of the two, and couldn't help but smile and squint. Yu Hai noticed her gaze, and only then did he have time to take a good look at his beloved daughter: "Cao'er, have you been frightened these days?" ”
"No, I'm sure Daddy will wake up. Daddy will definitely be reluctant to leave us! Yu Xiaocao obediently sat down beside her father, raised her little head and looked back at him.
"Of course! If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing! In the future, our family will get better and better! Thinking of almost not seeing his family and his clever little daughter, Yu Hai couldn't help but hold the child in his arms and was reluctant to let go.
Although it was her father, Yu Xiaocao was still not used to being hugged by a big man, she gently broke free, and said with a smile: "Dad, it's time to change the medicine on your leg, I'll change the medicine for you!" ”
Yu Hai's leg was so badly injured that almost the entire flesh on his leg was torn apart by the black bear. If it weren't for Yu Xiaocao treating him every day with a small mending heavenly stone, and using spirit stone water to help him clean his wounds every day, I am afraid that his entire leg would have festered to the point that it would not look good.
Xiaocao gently untied the gauze and washed away the herbs on her legs with spirit stone water, and the hideous and terrifying wounds had begun to grow new flesh. After Dr. Sun came for a follow-up visit yesterday, he was amazed at Yu Hai's healing ability, if he had changed to someone else, his leg would have rotted long ago.
Xiaocao refused Liu's help, and pounded the anti-inflammatory herbs left by Grandpa You into a fine powder, and then used spiritual stone water and mud to carefully apply it to the wound.
The originally itchy wound was replaced by a cool feeling, Yu Hai sighed comfortably, looked at the second daughter with satisfaction, and said: "After Cao'er hit her head, not only did she get better, but she was also a lot more dexterous, but she learned so difficult medical science very easily." Has it really been ignited by the God of Wealth? ”
Yu Xiaocao carefully wrapped the wound with good medicine, raised her head and smiled at him when she heard the words, without denying or admitting it.
At night, while the family was asleep, Yu Xiaocao squeezed the small mending stone again, releasing the spiritual power that had finally been condensed to help Yu Hai treat the scarred muscles and veins.
The water source of this world is pure, and the little mending stone has loosened its shackles because it helped its master save his father, and its spiritual power has recovered faster. I believe that in the near future, it will be able to turn into a physical entity and appear in front of the world in an open and honest manner. However, the spiritual power that was finally recovered every day was used to treat Yu Hai's leg injury, which made the little guy very depressed.
Fortunately, it found that every time it emptied its spiritual power, the confinement on its body would also loosen a little, especially when it helped its master Yu Xiaocao treat the wounds on its head, and after treating its master's father, it was even more obvious.
The little god stone who has become a sperm can't help but mutter: Could it be that every time he helps the master, he can help untie the confinement of the Lingzu Niangniang? This is also the reason why it is full of complaints, but it has not stopped helping Xiaocao's father to treat his wounds.
The next day, Xiaocao's family finally slept peacefully and woke up naturally. After Zhang got up, he saw that no one fed the pigs, the chickens were also hungry and "clucked", the firewood was not beaten, the ground was not swept, and the clothes were not washed, so he couldn't help but shout at Westinghouse: "When is it, can't you sleep to death?" ”
Yu Xiaocao pushed open the door, looked at Zhang with a smile, and said, "Grandma, you forgot, we have separated from each other. Let's feed the pigs and feed the chickens, is grandma going to give us a fifth of the pigs and chickens? ”
Zhang's scolding choked in his throat, and when he caught a glimpse of Li in the East House leaning unkempt against the door frame to watch the excitement, he transferred his anger and shouted: "Lazy woman, don't hurry up and go to work, you don't have to eat breakfast if you can't finish it!" ”
Li's face changed, thinking that in the future, she would have endless work to do every day from morning to night, like Liu's, and secretly complained in her heart.
After entering the door for more than ten years, in the first year, he was called by the Zhang family to do some housework. Ever since Liu entered the door, she had left everything behind. Now I suddenly asked her to pick up the housework, I really don't know where to start, I am so busy all morning, and I am always scolded by my mother-in-law.
The sister-in-law Yu Caidie couldn't look at it, so she helped sweep the floor and feed the chickens, just like that, when it was time to make breakfast, the firewood didn't come back. When Lao Yutou came back, he was still in a cold pot and a cold stove, and he was hungry until the end of noon, and then he ate a very bad breakfast.
Old Yu Tou sighed with an ugly face, in the future, when the Liu family is not there, it will be impossible for the family to be as orderly as before. He put down the dishes and chopsticks and went to the old house to see what he could do to help.
And Xiaocao's family, after admiring the chickens and dogs in the courtyard, left Yuhai to recuperate at home, and the others went to the old house at the foot of the West Mountain after breakfast early.
The old mansion is about two quarters of an hour away from the Yu family's current house. It is said that it is at the foot of the mountain, and it is still three or four miles away from the West Mountain. Looking at the good terrain by the mountains and rivers, even if the dilapidated old house is crumbling, it does not affect Yu Xiaocao's good mood. Relying on the mountains and the water, she is full of confidence in her future life.
The dilapidated state of the old house is still frightening, although it is repaired once a year, which can only ensure that the house does not collapse. This winter, the snow was heavy, and the old house was also crushed by the snow.
Dilapidated houses, yards where weeds grew wildly, fence walls mostly collapsed, and hares made nests in the yards. Sensing the movement, it came out "poof", which startled the mothers. Xiaoshi happily chased the hare away, and Liu sighed slightly, took his two daughters, and cleaned up the weeds in the yard.
The old house is relatively remote, with a few families nearby. Two hundred meters to the left, is the Zhou family, who raises chickens for a living, and the Zhou family's aunt Fang's family, who is good friends with the Liu family, saw her mother bending over and struggling with the weeds, so she brought her two daughters to help.
The Zhou family has a son and two daughters, the eldest daughter Zhou Linglong is fourteen years old and has already begun to talk about others, and the youngest daughter Zhou Shang is only nine years old, innocent, she likes to play with Xiaocao and Xiaolian sisters the most.
Uncle Zhou started as a merchant in the new year, and after his son Zhou Wenhua went to private school for two years, he followed his father to do the business of merchants. When the family is not busy, they go to the village to sell needles, threads and brains and other goods. The family has more than 100 chickens, and it is one of the few in the village that can afford to eat white flour and polished rice.
"Brother Han!" The little stone that was holding a small sickle to cut the grass looked up and saw a familiar figure outside the door, and greeted happily.
Zhao Han rolled up his sleeves, took a sickle, bent down to work, and said in his mouth: "I heard that you are about to move here, let me see if I can help?" ”
