Chapter 8 Can You Give Me Some Pocket Money?
My sister is stupid and has no status in the Ye family, so his status is naturally even lower.
Although the Fang family is generous, because of Liu Man'er, these children of the Ye family are not very fond of Liu Fusheng.
"Big brother, what are you carrying?" Ye He saw what the two were carrying, and his eyes were even brighter, "Is it the prey?" ”
"It's a wild boar." Ye Yuan replied, and carried the prey to the corridor with Liu Man'er, and then put down the burden.
"Really?" When Ye He heard that it was a wild boar, a smile instantly appeared on her immature face, she handed the child to Liu Fusheng, and she pulled Ye Yuan to ask questions.
Liu Man'er walked to the kitchen in the backyard, fetched a basin of water for herself to wash her hands, brought the water to the corridor, and motioned Ye Yuan to wash her hands, then took out two red fruits from the back basket and walked in front of Liu Fusheng:
"Come, brother, I'll hug the child, you can taste the fruit that my sister picked for you, it's sweet."
Liu Man'er's sudden gesture made Liu Fusheng a little stunned, on weekdays, Liu Man'er only had to rob him of his things, not to mention, he also knew that Liu Man'er was going to kill the child, but he didn't dare to give the child to Liu Man'er.
Turning his head to look at Ye Yuan, Ye Yuan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
However, when Liu Fusheng handed over the child to Liu Man'er, he walked to Liu Man'er's side......
Liu Man'er knew that he was guarding against himself, although he was a little sad in his heart, but he pretended not to understand, took the child, but his palm was still holding two fruits, looked at Liu Fusheng with blank eyes, and said, "You take it and eat it." ”
Liu Fusheng looked at Liu Man'er with a serious look, and then took it, but he didn't have it to himself, but wiped it on his clothes, and then handed one to Ye He.
Seeing that they had all begun to taste the wild fruit, Liu Man'er began to coax the child in her hand, she looked gentle, holding the child and shaking it gently, "Good baby, don't cry." ”
But the child was still crying, so Liu Man'er took out a fruit from the basket and shook it in front of the child, "Look, what is this?" ”
The child's eyes were indeed attracted by the fruit, and his eyes looked at the wild gardenia.
"He's probably hungry." Liu Man'er turned her head to Ye Yuan and said, "Otherwise, you go and make some porridge for him." ”
Ye Yuan didn't move, but he instructed Ye He: "Xiaohe, you go." ”
"Hmm." Ye He nodded, turned his head and went to the backyard.
Liu Man'er knew his concerns, and she didn't care, she continued to coax the child in her hand, turned her head and asked, "What's his name?" ”
"Ye Tianchen."
"What a nice name." Liu Man'er smiled slightly.
"I'll be your mother from now on." Liu Man'er pointed to the child and said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you again." ”
When she said this, in fact, she also said it to Ye Yuan, and she didn't like this kind of appearance of being supervised all the time.
When Ye Yuan heard this, he still didn't leave Liu Man'er, but waited until Ye He made the porridge before turning around and leaving to be busy with his own affairs.
Liu Man'er fed the child porridge, Ye He watched her from the side, Ye Yuan was busy boiling water to pluck the pigs, bleed, and dispose of some pig internal organs.
By the time Fang and the others came back in the evening, Ye Yuan had already disposed of the pig, and not long after, Butcher Zhang, who had received the news in the village, had already come to the door.
Butcher Zhang is five big and three thick, specializing in selling pork in the town, tomorrow is the day to catch the market, just when he was going to collect a pig to sell, he got the news that Ye Yuan had killed a wild boar on the mountain.
Liu Man'er felt that his news was really well-informed, how long did she and Ye Yuan call the pig today, so quickly, he got the news.
Whether this pig should be sold to it or not, Liu Man'er did not have the right to speak, and in the end, Ye Yuan decided to sell it to Butcher Zhang.
After subtracting the internal organs and other sundries, the net weight of this wild boar is one hundred and five catties, and the current meat price is five cents a catty, and the price of the meat is four cents a catty.
Ye Yuan left five catties of meat, and sold the rest to Butcher Zhang for four hundred yuan, Butcher Zhang smiled and carried the meat away, and the Fang family began to deal with these pigs into the water.
Liu Man'er felt that this wild boar meat was also game, but she didn't expect it to be the same price as domestic pork, but it was a pity that Ye Yuan taught the three hundred and fifty Wen of this money to the Fang family to subsidize the family, and he only left fifty Wen.
Liu Man'er calculated that she could get the money, and her head drooped in an instant, looking at this, Ye Yuan could give himself a few pennies, and it would be good to send himself away.
It was getting late, Liu Man'er handed over the child to Ye He, and went to see the clothes and bedding that she had washed and dried yesterday, and after a day and a night's work, these bedding were still a little moist, Liu Man'er didn't want to sleep in the kitchen anymore, so she planned to light a brazier to dry these bedding.
After she saw how Ye Yuan made a fire yesterday, she already knew these skills, just after Ye Yuan boiled water, and there was a lot of charcoal in the stove, she lit the brazier herself and moved it to the room, set up a wooden shelf specially used to bake clothes, and put the bedding on it.
When Ye Yuan was busy with work, he actually kept his eyes on her, and when he saw that she was acting without mistakes, and knew that he was drying the bedding, he walked over, handed the money he had just gotten from his arms to Liu Man'er, and said, "Here, your pocket money." ”
Liu Man'er stretched out her hand to take it, feeling that the money bag was quite heavy, opened it, poured it on the futon, and counted:
"Five, ten, fifteen...... A total of fifty texts, and you gave them all to me? Liu Man'er looked up in some surprise and saw his smiling eyes.
"Others say that I have a bit of a problem with my brain, do you feel free to give me so much money?" Liu Man'er's eyes raised.
"It's your pocket money anyway." Ye Yuan walked in and said, "And you behaved very well today." ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Liu Man'er put the money away and said, "Since tomorrow is the day to rush to the market, will you accompany me to the market?"
"To the fair?" Ye Yuan said, "But I have to plant peanuts tomorrow." ”
"If you don't go with me, I'll go by myself tomorrow, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to find my way back when the time comes." Liu Man'er said with a smile: "At that time, the daughter-in-law you bought for five cents will fly." ”
Speaking of Wuwen money, she laughed again and said, "Look, it only cost Wuwen to buy a daughter-in-law, but you actually took so much money to make pocket money for her." ”
Seeing Liu Man'er smiling happily, Ye Yuan also laughed, at this moment, the pear vortex on her mouth was cute and cute, not like a fool at all, and it seemed to be far from the stupid appearance before.
"Be careful when you bake your own futon, be careful that the fire burns out of the hole." Ye Yuan admonished again, and then walked out.
The quilt was not thick, and Liu Man'er felt that it was almost the same after roasting it for a while, so he took out the quilt core and carefully stuffed it.
After a day of drying during the day, and baking for a while, at this moment, this quilt is warm, but the quilt core has been sleeping for many years, and it is too heavy, so I simply baked the quilt core again.
That's all for the time being, it's better than sleeping on straw yesterday, and now she has fifty yuan, and she must not be able to afford a quilt, so the first task is to make more money, at least to be well fed and clothed.
Not long after, Ye Yuan came over to ask Liu Man'er to eat, because he had beaten a big wild boar today, the meal in the evening was quite rich.
A large bowl of pork stewed vermicelli, as well as a variety of pig-killing dishes, and the staple sweet potato rice, there seems to be a lot more rice.
The Fang clan also asked Ye Qing to invite a few uncles and good neighbors from the same hall to come over for dinner, and when Liu Man'er passed, they had already eaten.
Seeing Liu Man'er come in, an old man about fifty years old wearing a scarf began to tease, "Yo, silly girl, you are here, we will come to your house for dinner today, are you welcome?" ”
When the others heard him say this, they laughed too.
"Since you know I'm not welcome, you're still coming?" Liu Man'er returned without giving face.
First of all, she doesn't respect her at all, so she really doesn't welcome them, and secondly, if it was the original owner, she must have answered like this, since that's the case, then why should she wronged herself.
"This is your Ye Qing invited me here, do you want to beat him?" Some people began to coax, wanting to see the excitement of Liu Man'er.
Hearing this, Ye Yuan's face was a little ugly, he walked over and poured a glass of wine for a few uncles, and said, "A few uncles should eat well, Man'er is not sensible, so don't worry about her like her." ”
Then he came over and wanted to take Liu Man'er to the kitchen.
Liu Man'er glanced at those people and said, "Ye Qing invited you to be a guest, since you are a guest, I hope you can also do your duty as a guest." ”
After saying that, she turned and walked into the kitchen.
Those who ate at the banquet were left red-faced.
Although these people are Liu Man'er's cousins, but in the past, the things they did were left in Liu Man'er's mind, and the Fang family valued love and righteousness, but Liu Man'er remembered it clearly, because she didn't plan to give them a good face.
Walking to the kitchen, Fang's family left a special meal for Liu Man'er, and after Ye Yuan comforted her, he went out to accompany those men.
A small table was set up in the kitchen, Fang was carrying the child on his back, and Ye He and Liu Fusheng were sitting there.
Seeing Liu Man'er coming, Ye He and Liu Fusheng, two timid, didn't dare to pick up vegetables.
Seeing them like this, Liu Man'er was a little sad, and after sitting down, she took the initiative to serve them vegetables, and Fang saw it and praised her again.
Liu Man'er smiled slightly, feeling that now she had really become a child who needed to be coaxed, and the farmer did not have any rules for eating and sleeping, so Liu Man'er chatted with Fang's family:
"Mother, I'm going to play in the market tomorrow, Ye Yuan gave me a little money, do you want me to buy you something?"
"It's so good, my mother doesn't need you to buy anything, you can buy whatever you want." Fang Shi shook his head and said with a smile: "Our Man'er really grew up overnight, and we know that we have to buy things for our mother." ”
