Chapter 33: Not telling the truth

"You have three sisters-in-law, these are bought for you, keep them. I'm an eighteen-year-old girl, so I should dress up better. ”

Xu Shiyan was very satisfied with his sister's words.

If you don't say it, it's still my sister who hurts? At least there are others in his eyes, and he knows to let his sister-in-law go.

"Oh, then I'll take it all, thank you third brother and sister-in-law."

Xu Shiqin was relieved this time, and hurriedly took all her things away, and put on leather shoes to try it.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, this is for a few children, and I will keep it for them to make clothes for the New Year."

Xu Shiyan turned out a few more pieces of fabric, the girl's was a peach-printed twill, and the boy's was a dark blue twill.

If there is any contradiction between adults, it has nothing to do with the little baby.

Besides, these nephews and nieces are all good when they grow up, and Xu Shiyan is not distressed at all when he buys things for them.

Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong happily snatched the fabric and took it in their hands to look at it.

The fabric is fine and thick, and the color is also bright, which is much better than that of the supply and marketing cooperatives.

The only drawback is that it is too small, and it is just enough to make a blouse according to the height of the children, and adults can't use it.

"Third child, you just bought these?"

Wei Mingrong put down the fabric and stretched out his head to look at the two bulging backpacks, no, there must be a lot of things in them.

"That's all for my family. What's up? What else does the second sister-in-law want? ”

Xu Shiyan snorted lightly, could he still let him, a little uncle, buy things for his sister-in-law? Does that sound like words?

Wei Mingrong really wanted to ask, why are these things, even if he doesn't buy them for his sisters-in-law, he has to buy something for his brothers, right?

Before he could speak, footsteps sounded outside, and Xu Chenghou and his three sons came in from outside.

At the beginning of September, not far from the autumn harvest, in order not to delay the work of the team, Xu Chenghou led his son to work in his own land and a small piece of wasteland, and he could take it back in advance.

In the past two days, I have been cutting back the yellow smoke.

With a special yellow smoke knife, cut leaf by leaf from the stem, tie it with a rope at home, and then dry it.

In autumn, the sun is good, the rain is less, the air is dry, and the yellow tobacco leaves can be dried in a few days when they are hung on the shelf.

The dried yellow smoke can't be put away directly, it should be exposed outside, only the smoke with good dew can be smoked, if it is not put away, the smoke will be spicy and bitter.

Put the yellow smoke of the dew, slightly damp, and put it into a special box from head to tail, and the end of the petiole is tied with a straw rope and compacted, which is the finished yellow smoke.

When the time comes, keep it at home or go out to sell it.

The Xu family planted half an acre of yellow tobacco, and in addition to what Xu Chenghou smoked for a year, it could be sold for a lot of money, which was a good income.

"Ahem, I heard that the third child is back?" As soon as Xu Chenghou entered the house, he deliberately coughed dryly twice, and brought out the shelf of being a father.

If it is according to Xu Chenghou's meaning, the third son will have to be trained first when he comes back, how can there be such a person who can't live?

But Zhou Guilan's threat was still in his ears that day, Xu Chenghou was really afraid that his daughter-in-law would divorce him, so he didn't dare to say it.

Xu Chenghou himself is a person with a bit of a fierce face, and he can't be kind.

This smiling flesh is not smiling, not embarrassing or embarrassing, but it is actually even more terrifying.

"It's back, it's back." Zhou Guilan was very happy and said with a smile.

"Come and see, what did my son buy for us? This is food, this is the fabric for the two of us, and I bought quilts for the fourth and fifth children. ”

Zhou Guilan had the heart to ease the relationship between the father and son, and pointed to the pile of things on the kang and said.

Xu Chenghou took a look, hey, there are really a lot of things, "Why do you buy so much cloth?" Where did you get the ticket? ”

This year, you have to have a cloth ticket to buy cloth, and the cloth ticket given by each household in the society every year is limited, and it is good for a family to get together enough to buy two sets of clothes.

The pile on the kang, I'm afraid I have to save it for several years.

"We went just in time for a batch of people who didn't want tickets from the department store in the city. I looked good, so I brought some to my family. ”

Chemical fiber does not need cloth tickets, that is, it is more expensive, but it is more wear-resistant and wear-resistant, and it is more suitable than cotton.

"Oh, that's probably not cheap. Buying so many things, those two mallets are not less expensive, right? ”

Xu Chenghou nodded and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"Well, it's okay, two mallets sold for one thousand six, and the black blind man had five hundred guts."

Xu Shiyan didn't tell the truth, this is enough to make people red, if he tells the truth, his brother and sister-in-law will definitely make trouble.

This amount of money is similar to what everyone guessed, Xu Chenghou didn't suspect anything, only nodded.

"If you have money, save it well, don't spend it indiscriminately. I won't spend so much money in the future, it's not the way of the day. ”

Xu Chenghou said, his eyes glancing at Zhou Guilan.

Seeing Zhou Guilan staring at him unkindly, what she wanted to say was swallowed back into her stomach in a daze.

In the past two days, several sons have been pouting Xu Chenghou, saying that when Xu Shiyan comes back, he will ask him to hand over the money to the family.

Xu Chenghou actually has this heart, there are two sons in the family who have not married a daughter-in-law, and a girl has not gone out, and there are many places to use money.

Even if Xu Shiyan divides the family, he is also a member of the old Xu family, and now that he has money, he should hand over the money back home, which should be shared.

But Zhou Guilan has been warning Xu Chenghou that if he dares to embarrass his third son again, Zhou Guilan will divorce him.

This old couple has been married for half a lifetime, and they haven't left for all these years, and they can't do without it when they get old.

Xu Chenghou was afraid of his daughter-in-law, so it was not easy to ask for money without being stunned, so he took Xu Shiyan and hoped that the third son would take the initiative.

It's a pity that Xu Shiyan didn't take this stubble at all, and when he heard his father's words, he only nodded.

"Well, I know, I don't have a house to live in.

It is estimated that it will cost a lot of money to see whether you will build one yourself next year or buy a ready-made one. ”

In a word, it blocked the possibility of Xu Chenghou speaking again.

Your son doesn't have a house to live in, and he's still living in someone else's house.

What's up? Are you embarrassed to ask for money and let your grandson be born in someone else's family?

Xu Chenghou was choked, if he had put it aside, he would definitely have become angry and would have cursed.

But now that your son's wings are stiff, you really want to scold him, people turn around and leave, what else do you have to do?

What's more, the old wife is eyeing him, and if he dares to scold, he will fight with him today.

Well, don't say anything, hold on.

So, Xu Chenghou ignored the eldest son's vigorous glance at him, only lowered his head and loaded a bag of cigarettes, and smoked it.

Xu Chenghou couldn't get out, Xu Shixian was still uncomfortable, and just wanted to speak, he heard another sound of footsteps outside.

"Brother Xu, I heard that your third son is back? Isn't it time for us to talk about it?

Your third son picked up my black blind man, how can this matter be calculated? ”
