Chapter 18 The pocket is cleaner than the face, and he dares to charter a car into the city
When the rooster crowed, Xie Huaxiang and Xu Meili got up early, began to cook two pots of tender corn, and added the porridge made last night to the simmering water and put it in a wooden barrel.
After finishing this, it was also dark outside, and he turned around and went into the house to call Xie Ya and his younger brother to get up and eat.
Xie Ya was in a daze, and when she heard her mother tell her to get up, she thought she was at home, so she hurriedly reached out and grabbed her mobile phone next to her, but she grabbed her brother's hair.
"Ah, sister let go, you picked my hair."
Xie Xiyuan closed his eyes and shouted with his hands open.
Xie Ya hurriedly let go and opened her eyes, and what she saw was a black wall full of houses, and a knife from Niang Xu standing on the ground.
Looking at the little brother Xiyuan on the kang, Xie Ya remembered that she had come to the ancient farmhouse with her father, so she got up and grabbed the ragged gown and put it on her body.
"Mother, why didn't you wake me up earlier, today we are going to the town to do business, who will sell it if we go late?"
Xu Meili hurriedly said: "You don't have to go to work, sleep more." ”
In a word, Xie Ya remembered the modern busy life again, comparing the two and the next, it is true, how can there be a class here, but there is no money to die.
After cleaning up her personal hygiene, Xie Ya was worried, "Daddy, how do you clean your teeth?" ”
Xu Meili shook her head: "It's still cleaned up, there's nothing at home, go to the town to find something like a toothpaste and toothbrush that can replace it, and hurry up and eat." ”
Solve the mouth, I usually brush my teeth a few times, this is going to be bloody, no, I have to solve this matter today.
The big ballast porridge was served, and the family drank some of it, Xie Huaxiang carried two baskets of cooked corn, and followed Xie Ya and his mother to carry a bucket of big ballast porridge to the village road.
Originally, the mother wanted her youngest son to have bad legs and feet, so she asked Xiyuan to stay at home, but Xiyuan just refused, and finally came out with him.
On the way to the village, let Xie Ya directly take her younger brother to her grandmother's house.
Hee-won reluctantly opened the door and went in, and turned around and told his sister to go home quickly.
Xie Ya promised to run back, "Don't worry, Xiyuan, my sister will come back to buy you something delicious." ”
I thought to myself, this Xie Cannon and Xu Yidao are such a poor family, and they also gave birth to a younger brother who is several years younger than themselves, and they are really idle and have nothing to do, and think about how good it is to eat well if they have the kung fu.
When I come back, I must show my brother's leg, I was too tired to treat my leg injury last night, and I forgot about it.
Xiyuan doesn't expect her sister to buy anything good to eat, as long as her sister and father come back early, and she leaves her grandmother's house early, it feels really uncomfortable to be treated coldly by others.
At this time, everyone in the village got up later than usual, and the old uncle Xie Huashi had just opened the gate and walked to the donkey pen, when he saw Xiyuan open the gate and walked in, and turned to look at the eldest nephew: "Why did you get up so early?" ”
Xie Xiyuan's face flushed and said, "Daddy and sister went to the town to catch the market, and my sister sent me over." ”
"Ah, come in, it's time for dinner."
In my heart, I totaled, this eldest brother's family has no money, and he has a lot of gambling debts, what are you doing in the town?
At this time, the little sister-in-law Guo Lixia opened the door and poured water, and when she saw Xi Yuan walking towards the door of the room, she angrily splashed the water directly on the side, splashed Xi Yuan with water, and glared and muttered: "Rush to the door in the morning!" Who's going to have your money? I'm used to it! ”
As he spoke, he slammed the door shut.
Xie Xiyuan shook his pants a few times, and tears suddenly flowed down.
Uncle Xie Huashi heard the voice, hurriedly turned around and looked over, sighed and said in a low voice: "It's too much." ”
Just about to pull the child, Xie Xiyuan hurriedly turned around and limped out of the gate and ran towards the village road, wanting to go home and wait for his father and sister.
Running to the village road, I saw that my father and mother had just gotten on an ox cart, so I was busy and ran directly to the ox cart.
Just now Xie Ya's family was waiting on the road, and just as Xie Huaxiang sighed too early, the old man Liu Wu, who was specially seated in the village, drove the ox cart to the village road.
Xie Ya was happy and hurriedly beckoned Liu Wu over.
"What are you doing here?"
Liu Wu looked puzzled as Xie Ya's family moved things to the car and said.
Xu Meili was just about to speak, but Xie Ya hurriedly said: "In this way, uncle, we have chartered your car today, and we will give you ten cents, this town is not far away, seven or eight miles away, you can come back early to pull people, what do you think?" ”
Xie Ya really doesn't want to go to the town to make an ox cart and fight like it is written in the book, so that she can go to the town quickly.
Before Liu Wu could speak, Xie Huaxiang hurriedly frowned and looked at his daughter, this child, the three of them didn't have a copper plate in their pockets, and they still had ten yuan, what do you want?
Xu Meili was also puzzled, as the saying goes, I don't know if it's windy and rainy, don't you know if I have any silver in my pocket?
This pocket is cleaner than the face, what do you leave for others?
Liu Wu shrugged his shoulders and looked at the family that had just been done in the car, glanced at the things in the car again, and said in a low voice: "That's okay, Shiwen, give it to me." ”
At this time, Xiyuan ran out, got into the ox cart directly with tears on his face, and climbed to his mother's side.
"You kid, why did you come out again?"
Xu Meili reached out distressedly and wiped the tears on her son's face and asked.
"My aunt didn't let me into the house and splashed me with water."
As he spoke, he pulled a handful of trouser legs to show his mother.
Now Xu Meili stopped doing it, and said sharply: "That unjust seed is really undereducated, dare to do this to my son?!" ”
As he spoke, he got up and was about to jump out of the car, Xie Huaxiang hurriedly dragged his daughter-in-law and persuaded: "Don't be like this, we have to hurry into the city today, my brother and daughter-in-law are like that, we don't have the same knowledge as her." ”
Although Xie Ya is angry, she also has to take care of the overall situation, and the car owner over there is still waiting to pay for the car.
"That's it, Dad is right, what, uncle, look at us going to sell corn, we will definitely give you the money for the car when we come back, if you don't bring errands, hurry up, you can still earn some money when you come back."
Liu Wu looked at the changes in the family suspiciously, although the Xie Cannon family was still dressed in shabby, but they were cleaned up neatly, and they didn't speak like that, and their eyes were different.
It's just that I don't know where I stole this corn.
In total, if Xie Ya's family gave ten cents and he came back to run twice, it would be a lot of extra money, so he said: "Okay, you have to talk about it, if you don't give it to me, I will go to your grandmother's house." ”
Xie Ya hurriedly agreed, "Okay, let's go quickly, our words must count." ”
But I thought in my heart that this original owner didn't do his job, and the people in the village didn't believe what this family was talking about.
The car started and headed for town.
It is said that the ox cart is slow, but Liu Wu drove the ox cart faster than the horse-drawn cart, and it was a short distance of a few miles.
Liu Wu was still not at ease, so he dragged the old cow and said to the family who was moving things to the ground: "I'll leave quickly, your words can count, no matter whether you can sell things or not, my car money must be given to me." ”
Xie Ya glared at Liu Wu with some anger: "You hurry up, can't we give you the land yet?" ”
was Xie Ya said this, Liu Wu really regretted it, can this family's words count? I could only wait, so Yang Yang drove the ox cart back again.
Xie Huaxiang's family came really early, and there was no one in this bazaar, so they hurriedly chose the central area to set up barrels and baskets.
There is a big episode in the town every five days, Xie Ya looked at the wet ground and said: "There should not be many people today, and the villages in the distance are separated by mountains and rivers, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come." ”
Xu Meili also took her son and walked around the market, looking at the newly opened store, smelling the tempting smell of steamed buns, fried dough sticks and soy milk on the street, and suddenly her stomach growled again.
