Chapter 44: Getting Started

Seeing that November is about to begin, the weather is getting colder and colder. Yun Niang is going to go into the space today to collect the grain. I saw that the inside of the space was obviously fuller than the rice grains outside, and the things that grew in the space never grew worms. Yun Niang quickly cut the grain and put it aside to watch, and her mood became more and more beautiful.

Some time ago, after cleaning up the second aunt Wang Li, she never dared to come to her own trouble. And the attitude of the people in the village towards themselves and Yun Xiu became more and more kind.

Yun Niang's current life is very satisfied, but it is cold this day, and I am afraid that this dilapidated house will not survive the winter. I thought about re-pushing the house into two blue brick rooms, if it weren't for the two new quilts that Widow Lai had brought over yesterday, I am afraid that I would not have been able to sleep for the past two nights.

I wonder if the weather is too different from before. People in the village said that this winter was much colder than before, and they were afraid that they would freeze to death this year.

Yun Niang was very anxious when she heard it, if the weather continued to be so cold now. I and Yun Xiu had a hard time this year, mainly because the house was too broken. In addition to the fact that the underside of the house is cut with earth and grass, the roof is laid with thatch. The house is not warm at all, and if the wind blows a little stronger, the wind will blow through the cracks.

Yun Niang went to the three uncles of the Wu family to ask if anyone had started the house now. Let Yun Xiu not go out at home, the weather is too cold now, I am afraid that Yun Xiu will freeze when he goes out. Yun Xiu obediently stayed at home.

When Yun Niang arrived at Uncle Wu's house, Uncle Wu was taking out the things at home to repair them. When he saw Yun Niang coming to the door, he asked, "Yun Niang, what are you doing on such a cold day?" What if I freeze to death? Come in and warm up with a bowl of hot water. "Get up and go and pour water for Yun Niang.

Yun Niang saw Uncle Wu at home alone, and asked strangely, "Grandpa Wu, aren't the three uncles at home?" I had something to do with them."

"Your uncles have gone to the county to find work, and now the harvest is not good. The weather is getting colder and colder, so let them go to the county to see if there is anything to subsidize. Or I'm going to be sad this year."

Uncle Wu saw Yun Niang's worried little face and hurriedly said, "Look at me, I'm confused, why are you talking about this kid?" You said you were looking for them for something."

"It's like this, Grandpa Wu, Yun Xiu and me at home. The weather is getting colder and colder, and my house is broken, and I am afraid that the snow will be too heavy this winter to crush the house. At that time, it was dangerous, I wanted to ask the three uncles if they could help me find someone to start a new house? ”

"But it costs one or twenty taels of silver to build a house and help with the helper's fee."

"Grandpa Wu, don't worry, Uncle Tian said that the silver can be lent to me first, and then pay him back when Yun Xiu grows up."

"Good, good, Tian Zhutou is a good person. When you grow up, you have to repay your Uncle Tian well."

"Well, your Uncle Wu can't find anything to do. Why don't you call them back and help you? Don't talk about the money if you don't have money, your brothers and sisters are in difficulty. We as neighbors should also help" Uncle Wu didn't know that it was because of his kindness that his three sons survived that disaster in the future.

Yun Niang hurriedly said, "Grandpa Wu, how can uncles work without getting paid, and it doesn't mean that the three uncles don't get paid. There are other people who also have to give, Grandpa Wu can tell his uncles that he will give twenty wengong money a day without food."

"What, isn't the twenty wentieth salary a bit high? Usually, when someone else starts a house, it is only ten dollars for a meal. ”

"Grandpa Wu, I'm too small in this family to cook too many people's meals. I don't have to pay more than ten cents for food, and now that the weather is getting colder and colder, it's okay to give a little more. ”

Uncle Wu thought about it too, Yun Niang, she couldn't cook so many people's food. And Yun Niang is now a person who comes to her own house to find her own family, which is to save this heart to subsidize her own family. If you keep saying it, it will hurt your feelings.

My uncle said reassuringly: "Then your Uncle Wu is back, I will ask them to go to your house to find you." ”

"Okay, I'll go back first, and this matter will trouble Grandpa Wu."

"No hassle, no hassle"

Yun Niang returned home and saw Yun Xiu playing on the side, writing and drawing on the ground with a branch. When I saw it, I didn't go out and praised, "Yun Xiu really didn't go out today, what are you drawing on the ground?" ”

Yun Xiu looked at the ground intently, heard his sister's voice, looked up, and hurriedly said, "Sister, are you back?" I'm writing. Yesterday I went to find Huzi, and Huzi taught me. He said his brother taught him, and that his brother still went to school. ”

The tone of her voice was full of envy, and Yun Niang saw it and asked, "Does Yun Xiu like to write?" ”

"I like it, but I won't"

Yun Niang thought that she regarded Yun Xiu as a child, and she didn't notice that Yun Xiu should go to school for enlightenment. After thinking about it, it seems that I heard someone say that it costs two taels of silver a year to go to the school, and I think that I should have some left in the house. When the time comes, send Yun Xiu to study.

Looking at Yun Xiu's appearance, he said to Yun Xiu, "Yun Xiu is good, wait for the house to be finished." At the beginning of spring, my sister will send you to the school to study, okay? ”

Yun Xiu raised his head, his eyes widened, and he asked happily, "Sister, really?" I can really go to school, I can go to school. But do you have any money at home? As he spoke, his voice became quieter.

"Yun Xiu, my sister said that if you go to the school in the spring, I will definitely let you go. Don't worry about the silver, don't you believe in my sister? ”

Yun Xiu was relieved when he heard his sister say this. jumped up directly, "Sister, you are the best, I love you to death, in the future, I will wait for me to study and take the official exam, so that my sister will not have to work so hard"

"Hehe, sister doesn't necessarily have you to take the official exam, I just want you to understand the reason and know right from wrong. You know? ”

"Got it, sister"
