Chapter 32: Think carefully
said that he went to bed early, but when a few people had eaten well and fed the pigs, it was more than six o'clock in the evening, and he couldn't see his five fingers clearly, Liu Guiyuan decisively went to the house and lit an oil lamp, since Wang Feisan's incident, the first thing she did when she went to the town was to buy lamp oil and wicks, and there was a lamp at home, so she didn't need to buy it for the time being.
The trivial things at home were done, Liu Hongjube scooped hot water from the pot, sent it to the back room and poured it in the newly bought bathtub, and began to take a bath and wash his face.
After the eldest sister washed and changed her clothes, Liu Huahua walked to the door and removed the hoe latch, and after helping the eldest sister pour out the dirty water, she continued to scoop water and wash the door. And so on, the three big ones and the small ones were all washed and lay on the bed to play.
With the lights at night, the sisters didn't want to go to bed so early, Liu Guiyuan cut a small square piece from the newly bought three-foot coarse cloth, and planned to sew a few sachets, and put some sun-dried mugwort when the time came, which can prevent mosquito bites.
Liu Hongjube was lying on the kang sideways, coaxing lotus seeds to sleep, Liu Huahua was more wealthy than Liu Guiyuan, and was sitting at the head of the bed counting the money at the moment, counting and counting, and finally he was afraid of being stolen, after all, this was nearly ten taels of copper coins, and he didn't know where to hide it for a while.
The Liu family's previous money was in Liu Chongshan's hands, and his habit was to hide in the hole under the kang mat, Liu Huahua felt that everyone could think of that place, hiding it was equal to not hiding, but for a while, he couldn't think of a better place to hide money.
"It's really not safe to put so much money, call the fourth grandmother and the dog baby tomorrow, give them half first, and divide the rest into three parts, one person will receive one, as for hiding somewhere, look at it yourself, okay?"
Liu Guiyuan thought about it for a while and gave a plan, in fact, she has a better place to hide money, that is, her pink backpack, no matter how much she hides, no one will find out, but unfortunately she can't take it out and use it, so she can only steal her own share.
"I think it's okay, let's just have one for each person." Liu Huaanhua came to the spirit, counted the strings of copper coins and scattered ones, and then divided them into piles.
Liu Guiyuan looked at it and wanted to laugh, and said to the eldest sister on the side: "Eldest sister, this money is all earned by ourselves, don't be stingy and reluctant to spend it, if you want me to say, go to the town tomorrow, and pick a pleated skirt with beautiful patterns to wear." ”
Nowadays, women and girls wear shirts and skirts on the upper body, the most common is pleated skirts, and the skirts worn by the three sisters of the Liu family are all old skirts from several years ago, not only the color is dull, but also covered with several patches, especially Guiyuan, her clothes are all eliminated by the two sisters and changed for her to wear, and now that she is rich, she naturally has to change a new set up and down.
"You earn all this money, and you can spend it however you want." When Liu Hongzao said this, he was more satisfied, his father and mother used to be at home, and they didn't see more than a dozen dollars all year round, but now they have earned their own money, so naturally they lack what the family lacks, what they buy, and what they want to buy.
The next morning, it was a busy day, after eating, the three of them divided labor, the eldest sister went to the field to gather pigweed, the second sister washed the loquat at home to watch the house, the fourth grandmother had breakfast, sat at the door with lotus seeds, and did some small work from time to time. Liu Guiyuan saw that she was free at this time, and the weather was not hot, she planned to go to the river to catch some snails and soak them, and now Sun Jingxuan's foot shop, in addition to making snail powder, some guests also named to eat fried snails, so that she would have to catch more snails.
Liu Guiyuan walked out with a basket and a net, and met Liu Yao, who had not been seen for a long time, this grandmother who had not been here since Liu Chongshan and his wife left home, which one did they sing so early in the morning?
Liu Yao's upper body was wearing a dark brown thin jacket, and the lower body was paired with a dark green long skirt, a pair of small feet followed her walking pace, revealing one by one, Liu Guiyuan looked worried about her, don't fall with such small feet. It is said that not long after the founding of the country, he promulgated a holy decree that women do not need to bind their feet, so that girls like them who were born in the Dayu Dynasty no longer have to endure the sorrow of binding their feet.
Liu Yao crossed the two, first glanced around the open space outside the house, and then twisted his little feet to look around the hall, the inner room, and the side room, and then walked outside the door, half-concealing his anger and opening his mouth: "It's really a wild loquat, Tie Dan said that your sister took a room, I still can't believe it, let me ask you, where did you get the money?" Do you make any money by making ice ..... ice or something? You are all really wild, and you dare to collect loquat and sell things by yourself, let me ask you, who told you to do it, so bold? ”
Liu Hua was angry, stood up and said: "Grandma, no one asked us to do it, collecting loquat and selling ice powder are all ideas we think of. ”
"You earned it yourself, jokes, which article is earned by yourself, there is no adult to feed you and clothe, to raise you, do you have the ability to earn money? One by one, they eat dead things, and they don't know how to hand them over to adults to collect when they make money? How much money do you have in your hand, hurry up and get it! ”
Liu Guiyuan pursed his lips, put the basket net on the ground, walked in front of Liu Yao's family, and said coldly: "Grandma, you have been to my family once in 800 years, just to ask for money?" ”
Liu Yao's eyes were stunned, his momentum was not weak at all, and he frowned and scolded: "How do you speak, I can ask a few of you for money, it's your father's money, I'll collect it for him first, otherwise you little girls will buy and spend it indiscriminately?" By the way, and the money left by your father, bring it to me, otherwise you will be defeated! ”
Liu Huahua walked to the west side of the house and stood, leaning against the wall, pouting: "Grandma, aren't you afraid that we will buy and spend money, you are uncomfortable watching us make money, right?" ”
"You dead girl, how do you talk to grandma, I'm not for your good, collect loquat today and sell things tomorrow, you may make money after a trip, I guess you're almost defeated, right? It's not that I said you, don't learn to do business if you don't have enough material, and you can't go to cry if you lose money. ”
Liu Yao's words became more and more ugly, anyway, in her eyes, the existence of these granddaughters is the original sin, and no matter how hard she struggles to survive, it is a waste of air.
Not to mention that Liu Hua was so angry that she clenched her fists and wanted to jump her feet, let's just say that Liu Guiyuan, an "outsider", really couldn't listen to it, as soon as she touched her mouth, she began to fight back: "Grandma, when my father and mother left, you never came to see us, let alone help bring lotus seeds, and the matter of the third aunt and nephew last time, you haven't come to ask until now, oh, now look at how many of us are making money, you want to take advantage, how can there be such a cold-hearted grandma in the world?" ”
Liu Yao was so accused by his granddaughter, his face was as tight as a stone, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the two of them and scolded: "Okay, you have turned the sky upside down, dare to say that your grandmother is not, I am kind enough to come over to help you manage the money, I am afraid that you will mess with Huo Huo, and you will repay me like this?" Your father and mother don't leave the house, I don't come to take care of it, and you will lose? ”
Liu Guiyuan was annoyed, she was really annoyed by Liu Yao's unreasonable trouble, it happened that Liu Hongzao came back with pigweed on her back, she stepped forward, took the eldest sister's hand and said: "It just so happens that you are back, go, pour some pigweed for the pig to eat, and then the three of us will go to the town to buy something, today I am in a bad mood, and I want to buy everything." Liu Guiyuan was so angry that he drifted when he spoke, and he didn't forget to scold Liu Yao's and said: "Hey, I don't know how to spend so much money, it's really sad." ”
Said to do, here Liu Hongjube poured pigweed, over there Liu Huahua took the key to lock the door, the fourth grandmother received Liu Guiyuan's eyes, and went home with lotus seeds, and when the three little girls walked hand in hand, Liu Yao's empty space stood without anyone to take care of him.
The three sisters didn't take their heads back, Liu Yao looked at a few of them, and then looked at the locked wooden door, he could only chase after him angrily and scold, he didn't scold for long, the three girls were fast, she couldn't catch up at all, so she could only go home stupidly.
Along the way, the faces of the three sisters were not very good, it was really Liu Yao's style, which made them feel cold, it turned out that they only said that they favored their grandchildren, but now they can't wait to get it all into their pockets when they make money, how can there be such an eccentric grandmother in this world.
When Liu Guiyuan was leaving, he didn't forget to pack a basket of snails and bring them to the town, which were fished out in advance and raised in the water, so he was afraid that they would not be enough for the town. When I arrived at Sun Luojiao's shop, before the meal, the foot shop was already full of customers, all waiting to eat snail powder, and some people ordered loose wine or ice powder, and sat behind the sunshade to rest.
As soon as the three sisters entered the foot shop, they saw a tall young man standing in front of the counter, and they were about to speak, when they saw Sun Jingxuan, who was cooking noodles in the back, coming over, and said with a smile: "You guys are here, this is my eldest cousin Sun Jingyi, who came to my store to help." As he spoke, he introduced the three sisters of the Liu family to his eldest cousin.
Sun Jingyi glanced at the three sisters, and said with a hearty smile: "It's better to be famous than to meet, I finally saw you today, you can come up with two kinds of food, snail powder and ice powder, it's really ingenious!" ”
Sun Jingyi saw that Liu Hongjube looked quite beautiful, and couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and after the three sisters left, he put his arm around his cousin's shoulder and quipped: "Hey, I just saw that boss, he looks so weird, no wonder my aunt is talking to you, you don't want any of them, dare to fall in love with it?" ”
Sun Jingxuan tilted his shoulders, didn't ask his cousin to hug him, and waited until he had cooked a portion of noodles before he said slowly: "You don't care about my business, you asked you to work, not to look at people blindly." ”
Sun Jingxuan has his own careful thoughts, when he saw Liu Hongjube for the first time, he simply thought she was cute, and he pretended to know even if he didn't know words, and the two agreements were read over and over again for a long time, and then he heard Liu Guiyuan say that he was going to Sangyu Village to inquire about the person who was close to her, but somehow, he had to go over to see how the person was, and when he heard that the person was not a good match, his mood should have been sympathy and regret, but he felt a joy, an indescribable joy.
It was from then that he knew that he had a heart for Liu Hongzao and wanted to marry her home as a daughter-in-law one day, but he didn't know if Liu Hongzao had a favorite person, what he thought of him, and when he was free, he must ask Liu Hongzao's third sister Liu Guiyuan, this little girl, a ghost elf, if he can satisfy her, his business will be half done.
