Chapter 22: No Borrowing
It is said that the small ones in the family are popular, and so is the old Liang family, Xiao Wu is the latest to get married, and Lao Liang likes Xiao Wu the most on weekdays. Therefore, when the family was separated, the only horse in the family was given to Xiao Wuliang Xing's family.
At this moment, after the shouting of the fifth aunt, Liang Xing came over, and the fifth aunt stepped forward to complain: "You have done a good thing, borrow everything, if I wasn't here just now, the horse you lent out trampled on your mother, and your sin would be great."
"What? So serious? Liang Xing couldn't believe it.
"That's right! The third brother came back with the horse, and the mother got under the horse's hooves and almost died. Don't take it back yet? The fifth aunt kept wanting Liang Xing to take the horse back, and seeing that Liang Xing didn't move, she whispered: "Are you stupid, in the autumn, this horse has also made a big effort, pulling the cotton dealer for a while, let the horse rest and go back!" ”
Liang Xing said, took the horse rope from Liang Laosan's hand, and rushed back.
"But my cotton is still in the field!" Liang Laosan said this, the carriage he had just borrowed, and he wanted to transport all the cotton in the field back after a few carts. However, as soon as I borrowed it, I took it back. The cotton in the field, what can be done now?
Mrs. Liang glanced back at Aunt Wu, on weekdays, she behaved stupidly, but this time she did a good job. He gave Wu He a praising look. Well done!
Mrs. Liang left, and Liang Laosan squatted on the ground without saying a word. They all say that they are brothers, and they are compatriots, and now they are doing this.
Liang Zhaodi looked a little depressed, and kept squatting there, knowing that her father suffered all this because of his own happy mouth, otherwise, he would not be like this. Now, there is a sense of guilt in my heart. In an instant, he felt that his father had encountered a difficult matter, a matter that he couldn't solve, and all of a sudden, he felt that his father was much older.
Liang Zhaodi walked over, squatted down, and said with a smile: "Dad, let's just carry back all the cotton in the field, there is no car!" And then there's the strength! ”
“……”
"It's a big deal, let's carry it back," Mother Wang echoed: "In the past, when there was no car, didn't we always carry it back little by little?" ”
"In the past, the dealers were all carried back by my father and mother?" Liang Zhaodi asked in surprise
"Then there is still a fake, there was no car at that time, what can be done?" Mother was optimistic. "Now that I live in a big house, why can't I carry it back, what's the matter! Is your body expensive? ”
"Third brother, nothing? Don't I have an ox cart at home? Niu Er stepped forward and said, "Although it is a little slower than the carriage, it is also a lot!" ”
"Thank you, Second Brother Niu" There is no endless road, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge! "Wait, we've collected all the cotton in the cotton field, and I'll go to the second brother for help!"
"Third brother, it's nothing" Second Brother Niu comforted Liang Laosan and said: "Now is not the time to be angry, the autumn harvest is busy, take it back early, and lose it if you harvest it late!" ”
Now, at the time of the autumn harvest, they are busy. Some idlers who don't have fields just take advantage of this time when someone is late to harvest and go to make a fortune, but they are fortunate to have worked hard for a year and are busy in vain.
Liang Zhaodi put on a pair, picked up the tools, and prepared to pick cotton.
"Wait for me" Liang Laosan said: "I can't do the heavy work anymore, pick a cotton, I'm still a good hand!" ”
Liang Zhaodi heard her father say this, and both of them laughed. We won't borrow this car......
Life is not easy, and people are not urgent. Liang Zhaodi finished harvesting the cotton at home, and did not forget to earn some silver, so that she could survive the winter, and tomorrow she will take the car of the second brother Niu to sell pickles in the county as usual......
