Things were finally settled, and the meal was served.

In addition to the fennel beans and salted radish just now, there is also a plate of fried cabbage and a plate of fried dried tofu, and with the golden millet porridge, it looks pretty good.

"Why don't you have steamed buns?" Taking a sip of millet porridge, Hua Ronghua asked.

Mrs. Lu snorted angrily on the side: "Mother who doesn't lay eggs, it's good to have you drink a mouthful of porridge." ”

Sister-in-law Fang smiled: "The lady forgot to eat the small stove that Aunt He bought these days, right?" The Lu family only has porridge for dinner, and they don't have to work at night, just make a little cushion. ”

"What? Do you eat a small stove? Mrs. Lu snapped her chopsticks and glared.

Glancing at Sister-in-law Fang, Hua Ronghua calmly drank porridge and sandwiched chopsticks and cabbage, "What's wrong with me using the money my father gave me to buy a small stove?" After chewing twice, he suddenly spit out the food in his mouth with a snort.

Mrs. Lu slapped the table angrily when she saw it, "You ruined girl, didn't this dish, this oil and this salt cost money?" It's not easy for Rokuro to make some money, you're so defeated! Hurry up and pick it up and eat it for me, do you think this is your home? ”

Hua Ronghua looked at the fried cabbage on the table and frowned, "What is this fried with?" Why is it so fishy? ”

"Fried in lard, I deliberately put half a spoonful more today!" Sister-in-law Fang explained: "This dish is fragrant! ”

Can lard not be fishy when cooled? Hua Ronghua lost his appetite all of a sudden.

"Ouch!" Mrs. Lu slapped her thigh distressedly, "You still put more lard in fried cabbage, it really doesn't look like it's your family, hurry up, I don't dare to use you to cook anymore." He pointed at Hua Ronghua and scolded, "Loser girl, what a lard you put in, you hurry up and eat it for me!" ”

"That's right, lady, the lord works in the yamen every day, and when he comes back, he has to read the book, it's very hard! You can't waste it. Jiang Lan also stepped on it.

Hua Ronghua glanced at her, and directly picked up the cabbage on the table and put it in her bowl, "Jiang, I'll give you this dish to eat." He grabbed in front of Jiang Lan, whose face turned pale, and spoke, "The master has a reward, you won't not take it, right?" ”

"I ......" Jiang Lan's face was as ugly as swallowing a fly, and she couldn't wait to put the whole bowl of rice on Hua Ronghua's face.

"I'm done, you can eat, I'll go back first." Hua Ronghua ignored the remaining half bowl of porridge and got up and went back to the house.

Walking in the courtyard, you can still hear Mrs. Lu's swearing, Jiang Lan's grievances, and Lu Wenping's voice of persuasion in the canteen.

"Lady, look, I told you to eat in the house a long time ago." As soon as she entered the door, Aunt He began to chatter.

Hua Ronghua threw off his shoes and went to bed to cover his feet with a quilt, "Aunt He, you can help me find a pair of thicker shoes first, and then go buy some food and come back." ”

"Hey, okay!" Aunt He answered, went to the box to rummage, and said while flipping: "I have long said that women can't be cold on their feet, and they can't look good, but the lady doesn't love that kind of embroidered shoes, and her feet can't stand the cold, right?" ”

"Well, that's it!" Aunt He came over with a pair of red thick-soled high-top shoes, "These shoes are a lady's dowry, right?" This handmade is good, and a thin layer of cotton is also laid under the upper to the touch. ”

Hua Ronghua tried it and felt good, "Okay, I'll wear it in the past two days." ”

Aunt He pointed to the soft-soled embroidered shoes on the side again, "That, lady, do you still want this?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, my girl is also clamoring for a pair of embroidered shoes!" Aunt He smiled and said, "That girl is not good at craftsmanship and loves beauty so much!" ”

"Oh." Hua Ronghua lowered his eyes and looked at the shoes on his feet, and then said, "Then you can buy her a pair!" It's not good to send shoes to the evil spirit, or I can give her these shoes. ”

"I ......" Aunt He just wanted to say that we are not afraid of this, when she heard Hua Ronghua continue: "I'm a little hungry, Aunt He, go buy food." ”

"Hey." Aunt He answered, and reluctantly glanced at the delicate embroidered shoes, thinking that it would be okay to wait for them to come back, so she went out of the door thinking like this.

But when Aunt He came back, she didn't see the embroidered shoes again, and secretly walked around the house several times but didn't find them, and couldn't help but ask Hua Ronghua, who was eating, "Lady, what about the shoes you replaced?" ”

"Put it up. What's wrong? ”

Aunt He smiled unnaturally, a little anxious, in the past, when she said this, the lady would directly say, 'Oh, then give it to her' or 'Oh, then you can take it away', but what happened this time? opened his mouth directly to ask for it, but he was afraid of being rejected, so he finally had to say, "It's okay." ”

"Lady." Aunt He stayed for a while, and then Ai Ai opened her mouth.

"What's the matter?" Hua Ronghua asked while eating stir-fried vegetables.

"I don't have much money to buy food." Aunt He replied with a smile: "I have been buying a small stove outside for the past few days, and the five taels of silver you gave me are only a few dozen yuan left, do you want to give me some more?" ”

Hua Ronghua was almost choked by the food in her mouth, and it was only three days before she was beaten, and it cost five taels of silver in three days!!

Even if he doesn't know much about the consumption level of this Beipeng country, Hua Ronghua feels that it is too wasteful, in the past, these five taels of silver were the Lu family's money for a month's groceries!

"Then don't buy it, I'll go to the canteen to eat tomorrow, it doesn't make sense that I will eat my own dowry when I get married!" Hua Ronghua made a decision.

"This ......" Aunt He was a little confused, she just wanted money! If the lady doesn't have to buy food by herself, then where else can she go to make money? What's more, she just remembered that if she didn't have to cook by herself in the future, the lady wouldn't give herself the money to buy vegetables!

Thinking of this, Aunt He couldn't help but regret a little, she didn't tell her about it if she knew it, but not to mention that the little money left really bought her food? What about when it's finished?

"That's it!" Hua Ronghua, who had made a decision, waved his hand and drove away Aunt He, who wanted to speak again, took off his clothes, took off his hair, and lay directly on the bed.

After thinking about it carefully, Hua Ronghua realized that after she came to Aunt He to help with housework, it has always been Aunt He's business to buy vegetables and cook. It's just that according to Mrs. Lu's picking, she can't wait to eat pickles, so she naturally refuses to spend another money to buy vegetables, so the money for buying vegetables has always been paid by Hua Ronghua himself.

Although Hua Ronghua didn't have much dowry when she got married, she couldn't bear to feel sorry for the girl, so he would give her some subsidy money every month, with an average of about ten taels per month.

Thinking of this, Hua Ronghua sat up suddenly, so the original owner also had a lot of silver? I was busy rummaging through the makeup box and money bag where she usually put money, but she only found a few taels of silver, and according to the memory of the deity, these were less than five taels of silver in total.

How so? Even if there are two taels left a month, it's more than that, right?

It turns out that the deity Hua Niang has been dressed and eaten since she was a child, and she doesn't care much about the money, sometimes she is happy to reward people at will, and sometimes she is in a good mood and gives her some according to the will of Mrs. Lu, plus the rouge gouache and cloth jewelry that she usually buys, and the rest of these are usually forgotten!
