Chapter 40: Thirty-Seven Divination
couldn't bear to disappoint the children, Qingbao said again: "If you want to eat any candy, you tell me in advance, and I'll help you make it." ”
Hearing that there was something to eat, the more and more children were happy.
Seeing that it was not early, Qingbao instructed him: "Go to school quickly, or be late." Remember to give the kids some sugar and have fun with them. ”
Yue Yue agreed, and ran out with the bag of candy.
Qingbao chased to the door and shouted loudly: "Don't run, walk slowly." ”
The little white figure paused, slowing down a bit, but still trotting away into the corner.
Seeing that he was gone, Qingbao turned around and went home to close the door.
At the moment of closing the door, Qingbao suddenly felt that this situation was so similar to a parent sending their children to school......
But think about it again, in my previous life, if I wanted my children to be early, it is estimated that my children would have gone to kindergarten, and my parents, I would have already made up my mind.
Now he is so kind to Yue Yue, not only because he has helped him, but also because of his mother's love?
Maternal love?
Qingbao only felt a chill all over his body.
Although the psychology is adult, but his small body is only six years old, so forget the word "maternal love".
Due to its unique taste, fruit candy immediately won the love of children.
Qingbao decisively abandoned the high-cost peanut melon seed candy and sold fruit candy instead.
This kind of sugar has a large profit and sells quickly, and the Xia family has more than 100 yuan a day.
Qingbao has seen Xia Shouping's foolishness and filial piety, and also saw the scene where Huang Liuniang agreed to pass her daughter out in order to build a house for her son, and she clearly realized that if she wants to protect herself in this era, her father and mother are unreliable, and she has to rely on herself at a critical time.
If she has money in her hand, if Xia Shouping and Huang Liuniang do something to hurt her, she can also take the money and leave, so money is very important.
Basically, when Xia Shouping and Huang Liuniang were there at night, Qingbao said to Huang Liuniang: "Mother, can you share half of the money from selling fruit candy in the future." ”
Huang Liuniang glanced at her little daughter and said in surprise: "At a young age, do you want so much money?" ”
Qingbao pretended to be coquettish and said: "My room is empty, I want to buy a lot of beautiful things and dress up my room well." Also, I'm older, I'm going to buy beautiful clothes and beaded flowers......"
Half of the profit is too much, Huang Liuniang pondered for a long time before saying: "What do you want to tell your mother, and your mother will buy it for you." We have to save this money to build a house for your brothers and marry a daughter-in-law. ”
I know that I built a house for my son and married a daughter-in-law, but my daughter is throwing goods? Is this candy made by yourself, and you don't even give half of the money?
Qingbao suddenly became angry in her heart, she wanted to choke Huang Liuniang a few words, but thinking about her being Liuya's mother, she suppressed her anger and slowed down her voice and said, "You should keep it for me to save a dowry for myself." ”
Huang Liuniang snorted and laughed: "How old are you, you have to save a dowry, and the little girl is not shy." She thought about it for a while, and said to Qingbao jokingly: "Okay, in the future, the money from selling sugar will be given to you thirty percent, so that you can save it as a dowry, how about it, not a shy little girl?" ”
Although Sancheng is not much, it is better than nothing, and Huang Liuniang can give her Sancheng Li, which shows that Huang Liuniang still has her daughter in her heart, and her intention to help them make money is not in vain, Qingbao is a little happier.
As for Huang Liuniang's little ridicule, compared with all kinds of jokes on the Internet with no lower limit, it is not even drizzle, and Qingbao is not even blushing.
If you have money, you have motivation, and from the next day, Qingbao began to make fruit candy in large quantities.
Xia Shouping also deliberately built a low-point stove for Qingbao to use for boiling sugar.
And Huang Liuniang is also talking, from that day on, she really gave one-third of the money to Qingbao a day, and asked Xia Shouping to order a box for Qingbao, which was specially used to hold money. However, she still repeatedly instructed Qingbao not to spend money casually, this money must be put away, don't lose it.
Her words, Qingbao is naturally in the left ear and out of the right ear, how to manage money, she is more skilled than Huang Liuniang.
Qingbao relied on his young age and when his access was not restricted, he ran down the street a few times, bought some brocade cloth and the like, decorated his room little by little, and tried to make his life more comfortable.
After moving to the city, the life of Qingbao's family gradually calmed down.
During the day, Qingbao and Huang Liuniang make candy at home, and the Xia family father and son go to sell sugar on the street.
Without the bullying of her mother-in-law, her husband didn't make her angry, her mother's family was closer, and her children could make money.
After the days were relaxed, Huang Liuniang was also willing to spend money, and from time to time she bought some fish and meat to come back to improve her life. The five children ate well every day, and they all grew strong and tall.
On June 26, Uncle Huang and the Li family came to Qingbao's house and officially told Huang Liuniang that Xia Yu's family affair had booked the Nancheng Ding family. My uncle's name is Ding Pan'an, the eldest son and grandson of the Ding family, seventeen years old this year, a talented person, and extremely knowledgeable. The eight characters have already been combined, and Xia Yu is a good match. On June 28, the Ding family came to recruit Zheng, and Uncle Huang and the Li family came to invite Huang Liuniang and Xia Shouping to have a wedding wine.
The daughter booked a good family affair, and Huang Liuniang was very happy. But when she thought that her daughter would never call her mother again in the future, and her son-in-law would not call her mother-in-law, her daughter and son-in-law would call her Sixth Aunt, Huang Liuniang felt sad again.
Qiang smiled and said congratulations to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and sent the eldest brother and sister-in-law away with a strong smile, Huang Liuniang lay on the kang and never got up again.
Qingbao understands Huang Liuniang's mood very well.
Huang Liuniang has feelings for Xia Yu, after all, Xia Yu is her first child and has been raising her for 14 years, so from her heart, she is unwilling to pass Xia Yu out, this is the kind of mother's deep affection for her child.
On the other hand, no matter how close Xia Yu is, she is just a daughter, and she is never as important as a son. So when Mrs. Xia said that she could get the silver gift, Huang Liuniang gave in.
Of course, there may be some other reason why Huang Liuniang agreed to Xia Yu's restep, that is, she hopes that Xia Yu will live well. Xia Yu is the meat that fell from her body, she naturally feels sorry for Xia Yu, Xia Yu can find a good mother-in-law, this is what she hopes to see.
But at the same time, she hopes that this good family affair can be given to her daughter by herself, not by others. But in fact, she didn't have this ability, which made her feel guilty and ashamed.
Therefore, a variety of emotions are intertwined, making Huang Liuniang a little unbearable.
Qingbao didn't try to comfort Huang Liuniang, who was in a complicated mood, but she couldn't do it as a six-year-old child.
Leaving the room to Huang Liuniang, Qingbao went to boil sugar again.
When Xia Shouping came back in the evening, Huang Liuniang told Xia Shouping about Xia Yu.
Although Xia Shouping said that he was cowardly and foolish, he was still very distressed to the children, after hearing that his eldest daughter was going to get married, Xia Shouping looked at Huang Liuniang and said cautiously: "This is a big deal for the eldest girl, we have a little money in our hands now, can we add more to the eldest girl?" ”
Huang Liuniang discussed with her husband for a long time, and finally decided to give a gift of two taels of silver, and then send a large basket of candy to entertain the new aunt.
Two taels of silver, although it is not much in the eyes of rich people, but in the eyes of Huang Liuniang and his wife, who are not rich, it is really a lot. You must know that when I was in the countryside, the children of my sister-in-law's family were married, and my uncles and aunts only gave 200 wen each.
On May 20, early in the morning, Huang Liuniang found new clothes and asked the whole family to change them.
urged the family to have breakfast, and went to Huang's house early.
The Huang family is full of lights today, beaming with joy, the red lanterns are hung high, and a few firecrackers are sounded from time to time, which can be seen to be a happy event.
When Qingbao and the others went, the Huang family had already arrived, and the room in the courtyard was crowded with people.
Uncle Huang and his wife, plus four children, the eldest son and the second son are married, and they both have wives and children.
Huang's second uncle and his wife have three children. The eldest daughter is married and has brought her aunt's children, and the second son has also married.
Huang's third uncle and his wife, five children, and the eldest son has become married.
Huang's fourth uncle and his wife, two children, and the eldest son have become married.
Huang's fifth uncle and his wife, four children, and the eldest daughter is married.
Huang Liuniang and his wife, five children.
Aunt Huang Qi and his wife, three children.
Uncle Huang and his wife, three children.
Just these eight brothers and sisters, there are more than 30 children under their knees, plus grandchildren and nieces...... Only these children and grandchildren of Grandma Huang can't be put down in the yard.
In addition, Huang Liuniang's uncle and aunt's family came again, Huang's mother's family came again, and Li's mother's family also came.
People are crowded with people, and there is not even a place to stand.
After Huang Liuniang came, she squeezed to Huang Grandma's side to talk, Qingbao also wanted to squeeze up, but unfortunately the kang was already occupied by several old ladies from nowhere, there was no way, she had to stand on the ground and find a small corner to shrink.
When Huang Liuniang came, she originally brought a big basket of sugar, but she didn't dare to take it out for everyone to eat.
The wolf has more meat and less meat, and now it has to be taken out, and by the time the new aunt comes, it is estimated that it will have been divided a long time ago.
Qingbao was listening to the chatter of the women in the room, but saw a little girl who was only four or five years old come over and dragged her out.
This little girl, Qingbao still has a little impression, it seems to be the youngest daughter of the eighth uncle, it seems to be called Lingling.
While walking out with her, Qingbao asked, "Lingling, where are you taking me?" ”
Lingling stopped, dragged Qingbao, motioned Qingbao to squat down, and then leaned into Qingbao's ear and whispered, "Sister Bingyu asked me to call you." ”
Xia Yu?
