The Xu family all sat with sad faces, and from time to time they could hear Xu Guifu's bellows-like breathing, and occasionally there could be a few coughing sounds, or a snoring sound in the throat, which made people uncomfortable to listen to.

Aunt Xu has become Mrs. Xu, most of her hair is white, the folds on her face can trap mosquitoes, her back is also bad, her eyes are cloudy, and the speed of aging is amazing.

"Guanghui, is the Shen family unwilling to help? Why don't we find another relationship? Aunt Xu said with a bitter face.

Xu Guanghui shook his head and said: "Jiaojiao said that she would help, but now it's only been two days, how can it be so fast?" ”

Aunt Xu was still a little worried: "If you don't go to the Shen family and ask again, this is not a sure thing, I am not sure, the family only can't go in and out every day, and it won't last long!" ”

Xu Guifu has to take medicine every day, and the family has to eat and eat vegetables, that is, it takes a lot of money to eat pickles every day.

In the past few days, the expenses have been greater than the input, which has made Aunt Xu panic and lose her sense of security, always worried that she will sit on the mountain and live the life of a begging for food.

Xu Guanghui helplessly persuaded: "Mom, don't worry, Wen Hui and I haven't been selling tapes these days, and they are also making money." ”

"How much money can you make selling tapes? Rice is to be eaten every day, which tape is listened to every day? Selling tapes is just an expedient measure, putting the breakfast stall up is the right way, I think wait one night, if there is no news in the Ming Dynasty, you can go to Shen's house to ask, and the things have been collected, you can't help but do something! ”

Aunt Xu was very distressed when she thought of the net bag of fruit and two bottles of wine, seven or eight yuan bills, it was her family's food money for a month, and the young man was a big spend, and he couldn't be a good family at all.

"Mom, we still live in the Shen family's house, and Grandpa Shen confiscated our rent." Xu Guanghui reminded his mother.

Aunt Xu was silent for a while, the rent of a room is at least one yuan a month, and it is twelve yuan a year, she doesn't dare to count this account, the more she calculates, the more empty she becomes.

Xu Xiaoli despised her mother's petty family spirit very much in her heart, and regarded the banknotes as more important than her life, except for pickles or pickles every day, if Daddy hadn't eaten so badly, his body would not have collapsed so quickly.

Earning money is not to live a better life, her mother is just the opposite, earning money is to save, the biggest pleasure every day is to pour out a jar of steel collapse, and count the steel collapse with Daddy, if you don't count it, they won't even sleep peacefully.

But they don't want to think about how much they can save by saving money from their mouths like this?

On the contrary, the body has also collapsed, if it weren't for eating so badly, the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother would not be so short, and with her, the figure would definitely be better, instead of being shriveled like now.

Xu Xiaoli has some resentment towards her parents, she knows that staying in such a home, she will never have a big future, and her parents' biggest wish is to get back their house and marry a daughter-in-law for her three brothers.

But she doesn't want to do this, she doesn't have a share in the house, she has to marry out sooner or later, if she marries well or not, she will be lucky, and if she hits well, at most, she doesn't have to worry about her livelihood, and if she doesn't bump well, she may even have a problem eating.

Her dream was not like this, she wanted to become a human being, she was going to leave this poor home, to leave the sea market, to go to a more affluent place, and all she could rely on was her young body and her self-esteem that she was willing to lower.

Aunt Xu babbled to clean up the leftover breakfast, a steel pot of rice with less water and more rice, and a small plate of home-made bean curd, there was still most of the piece left in the saucer, and the color was already a little black, because this piece of bean curd had been eaten for three mornings, and it would be eaten for another four mornings.

A piece of bean curd is their family's breakfast side dish for a week, everyone is poked with chopsticks, on the salty and umami on the chopsticks, snoring and drinking a bowl of soaked rice, very rice, because the bean curd is made by her mother, only when making bean curd and pickles, her mother will be generous, put half more salt than other people's houses.

Xu Xiaoli looked at the bean curd on the table with disgust, she was a little hungry, since she set up a breakfast stall, she didn't eat breakfast at home, the eldest brother felt sorry for her, and would share a basket of small soup dumplings for her to eat, she was reluctant to eat one, she was used to eating delicious small soup dumplings, where could she still eat this simple soaked rice bean curd?

Shen Jiao struggled to carry a large piece of pork with more white and less red, and then carried a big rooster, and two additional broadband fish, and came to the door of Xu's house, the door was not closed, and you could hear Aunt Xu's nagging sound inside when she stood at the door.

"Uncle Xu is good, my aunt is good, I am Shen Jiao."

Shen Jiao greeted loudly, carried things into the house, put the chicken and fish meat on the table, and shook her sour hand.

"Sister Shen, hurry up and sit down, I'll make you tea."

Xu Xiaoli smiled enthusiastically, changing the previous decadence, very positive, Aunt Xu had already been dazzled by the chicken and fish on the table, and her brain automatically began to calculate, one pound of meat anise, such a big piece is at least two catties, that is, a piece of six, the chicken has to have seven or eight catties, at least five pieces, broadband fish is a good thing, such a big two at least five or six pieces, and the three things add up to at least twelve pieces.

The price of twelve yuan made Xu's sister-in-law happy, laughed like an old orange peel, and rushed to the back room separated by a cloth, ready to talk to Xu Xiaoli and brew the highest grade Longjing tea.

However, Xu Xiaoli didn't need her instructions, she had already brewed the Longjing tea that the Xu family had collected for more than ten years, and Aunt Xu secretly scolded the loser and walked out stupidly.

Shen Jiao took the teacup that exuded a musty smell, the color of the tea was a little dull, and at a glance, she knew that it was an old tea of the previous year, with the Xu family's thrifty style, this year should be counted as ten.

She smiled and put the teacup aside, didn't make a detour with them, and said directly: "You go to the market management office to apply for a certificate, go directly to Director Meng, and he will handle it for you." ”

"Ah, yo yo, Jiaojiao, you really have the ability, it only took two days to do it, thank you, Nong, it's really a great favor for my family, can I eat lunch at home?" Aunt Xu's face was full of medicine, and she rarely and generously invited Shen Jiao to eat lunch.

Xu Guifu, who was lying on the bed, also asked Shen Jiao to stay for dinner, he was panting so badly that he couldn't stop gasping when he said a few words, snoring, hoarse, Shen Jiao couldn't help frowning, Xu Guifu is just silicosis, it shouldn't be so serious!

"My aunt has won the award, but she just happens to know a friend from the market management office, and if she changes something else, she won't be able to help."

Shen Jiao also said this intentionally, Mrs. Yelena's words had some impact on her, and she was not too familiar with the Xu family, that is, Xu Guanghui had contact with him when he was a child, and her impression of him was still good, but now looking at Aunt Xu's actions, she felt that it was better to distance herself from the Xu family.
