"In that case, let's tear down the windows in the back room now."

Braving the poisonous sun, the three sisters quickly removed the wooden strips outside the window, and as soon as the window opened, the southeast wind blew in, and the back of the house was much cooler.

"It just so happens that I didn't have time to use the white cotton cloth I bought last time, so I'll make a small coat for lotus seeds first, and the one is breathable."

The eldest sister Liu Hongzao went to find the cloth while talking, estimated that she had cut two feet, sat on the straw mat and sewed needles and threads, and the second sister Liu Huahua clapped her hands and pulled the ox cart to Liu Jindi's house to send it.

Liu Guiyuan saw that the lotus seeds were willing to eat rice noodles, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and remembered to ask Grandma Luo why she came here, they didn't leave anything behind when they left, and it was impossible for Grandma to send it over.

"Oh, I'm at home with nothing to do, come and bring you lotus seeds."

Grandma Luo's face was a little embarrassed, the two daughters-in-law were making a lot of noise at home, she couldn't stop it and was complained, she packed up a few clothes in a distraught, and planned to go to the little girl's house to live for a few days to hide, but when she walked to Xitou Village, she remembered that the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law was broken and loved to inquire about things, and if she knew that the family ugly said it outside, it would be embarrassing, so she turned around and came to her granddaughter's house.

If this kind of thing happened before, she would never think of coming to live in Huashi Village, but now that her eldest daughter and son-in-law are not at home, she will come when she comes. But it happened that she came today, and the lotus seeds were suffering from the heat, and if they were really sent to the town under the scorching sun, I was afraid that it would aggravate her symptoms.

This is full of loopholes, Liu Guiyuan doesn't believe it at all, how can Grandma Luo have nothing to do at home, now the uncle is busy renovating the bamboo garden, and the eldest aunt is preparing for her son's marriage, and the family will only get busier and busier.

But since Grandma Luo doesn't want to say it, she can't keep asking as a junior, and Grandma Luo is here, just to help take care of the lotus seeds, and a few of them can be a little easier, thinking of this, Liu Guiyuan smiled sweetly and said: "That's right, Grandma is here, we can be lazy." ”

Liu Hongjube wrapped around a thread, still palpitating and said: "Fortunately, grandma is here, otherwise Lianzi doesn't know what to do, and our children won't take care of their children." ”

Grandma Luo watched her girls live at home by themselves, and the two adults ran out without paying attention to them and wanted to sigh, how can there be such a father and mother in the world, no one takes girls seriously at all!

What does Grandma Luo think, Liu Guiyuan doesn't know, looking at the sky, at most three o'clock, the dog baby who usually doesn't come back until four or five o'clock, why did he come back so early, don't there is something wrong with the ice powder, it was not sold?

"Brother Dog, are you back so early?"

The dog baby parked the cart, his tanned face was covered with beads of sweat, and he pointed in the direction of the town and said, "God...... It's hot...... Sold out...... Ice powder...... One day...... Four...... Four barrels ....... not enough! ”

"You're saying that four barrels aren't enough to sell, so how much do you think is appropriate?"

Liu Guiyuan remembered that four barrels were sold by Brother Gouwa every day, not counting the buckets and a half barrels sold in Sun Jingxuan's foot store, it seemed that the weather was getting hot, and people's demand for cold food increased.

"Eight...... Eight barrels! The dog baby even said with a gesture.

"Eight barrels, that's too much, isn't it? Brother dog, I'm afraid it's hard to put it if it's too hot. Liu Guiyuan was a little worried.

"No...... Don't be afraid, someone ...... Order ...... Yangfu ...... Two barrels...... Every day...... Good Sister...... Said! ”

Liu Guiyuan was used to listening to Brother Gouwa's speech, and immediately understood what he meant, that is, Yang Mansion now wants two buckets of ice powder every day, it seems that they use ice powder as a daily example of cooling off, and the remaining two buckets are estimated to be either from somewhere else, or Brother Gouwa himself asks for it.

"That's okay, Brother Dog, you work hard today, work with us, there are already five barrels stored at the end of the cellar, and the remaining three barrels must be made up today."

Liu Guiyuan made arrangements, and the dog baby obediently went home to get busy, Liu Hongzao listened to it and put down the half-sewn clothes, patted her buttocks and said, "Then I'll go to Sister Jin Di's house and tell them." ”

"Okay, there is a grandmother watching from Lianzi's side, I will also go over to do it, I will eat later today, I guess I can get it out."

Liu Guiyuan wanted to be like this every day, they would probably be very busy for a while, but fortunately, when their grandmother came, they would be able to relax and do a big job.

Liu Hongjube took the lead in going out with a bucket, Liu Guiyuan found a newly bought straw hat, put it on his head and was about to go out, but was stopped by Grandma Luo and asked her: "Longan, how much can a bucket of ice powder be sold for?" ”

"A bucket of more than 100 yuan, it's worthless, grandma, I'll go first, you can take care of the lotus seeds."

What, a bucket can be sold for more than 100 yuan, Grandma Luo was stunned for a moment, she always thought that a few granddaughters were making ice powder at home, and selling it for a dozen yuan a day, which was considered to be making pocket money, and only then did she know that her sister was doing a lot of business!

You can sell eight buckets of ice powder a day, and one bucket is even a hundred yuan, and there will be an income of two or four yuan in that month, so it's no wonder that you are willing to buy such an expensive birthday gift.

In the afternoon of this day, the three sisters of the Liu family were busy until dark, together with Liu Jindi's family and the dog baby's family, a total of six buckets of ice powder were made, and the extra three buckets were taken by Sun Jingxuan, and the village children took another bucket, and the remaining bucket was saved in advance.

In the evening, it was the grandmother's cooking, and the pig was the second aunt who took the initiative to come over to help feed it, she saw that the sister-in-law's mother came, and she accompanied her for a while.

After breakfast the next day, about ten o'clock, the three sisters of the Liu family were working at home, and the eldest uncle Zhang Chengdong came to her house on a donkey, walked up to them and asked anxiously: "Is your grandmother here?" ”

Liu Hongzao nodded, saying that her grandmother arrived yesterday afternoon, and she was coaxing lotus seeds to sleep in the house at this time.

Zhang Chengdong took a long breath, walked into the house quickly, and when he saw Grandma Luo sitting well, his mouth crackled a lot: "Mother, why are you here, don't you tell me when you come, I'm dying at home, Cuizhen is also looking for it everywhere, the village asks door to door, I even went to see the old grave in the field, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." ”

"What can I do? I'm doing well here, you don't have to worry about me, go home and go about your business. ”

Uncle Zhang Chengdong knew that his mother was still angry, so he could only persuade her little by little: "Cuizhen, I told her at home, she knows that she is wrong, mother, don't be angry, I will ask her to make amends for you when I go back, how about it?" Speaking of which, it's not all Cuizhen's fault, the second family has really done too much. ”

Liu Guiyuan followed behind and heard that something had happened at home, only to hear Grandma Luo say: "The second child and his daughter-in-law are no longer right, she can't open her mouth to scold her father, who is their father, isn't it my dead father and you?" Your father has been dead for more than ten years, and you still have to be scolded by her, is this like a word? ”

"Cuizhen was very angry at the time, and she regretted it after saying it, and she beat her mouth at home, and I persuaded it so easily." Uncle Zhang Chengdong was still a little distressed when he talked about this, his daughter-in-law even slapped her mouth when she said the wrong thing, and her mouth was red, but unfortunately the old lady didn't see it at that time.

"Is she stupid to hit her own mouth? What do you have to say, you have to cry your father and scold your mother, and others listen to our faces? ”

In the end, it is the eldest daughter-in-law who has served her for many years, Grandma Luo is still a little distressed when she hears that Fang's fan herself, to say that Cuizhen was not like this in previous years, but she has become more and more impulsive in recent years.

"Cuizhen, you know, the family has been bad in the past few years, and she has indeed been wronged, alas, don't talk about these things, let's go back with me, it's hot after a while, it's not easy to go."

This is the Liu family, several nieces are outside, he doesn't want to talk too much, he just wants to take his wife home quickly.

"Go back by yourself, I have to stay here for a while, the lotus seeds are too small, I have to put aside and watch." Grandma Luo has her own plans.

"If my mother wants to stay at the red date house for a while, I'll pick you up in five days, okay?"

Uncle Zhang Chengdong thought that Grandma Luo didn't want to go back now, probably because he felt that it was too early to go back and lose face, so he deliberately said a five-day deadline. Grandma Luo shook her head and said, "You didn't understand what I meant, three or five days is too short, let alone a month or two here." ”

"A month or two? Why, mother, are you still angry with us? Uncle Zhang Chengdong was anxious.

"I'm definitely angry with you, but I'm not going back because of this, your niece Lianzi suffered from heat stroke yesterday, how can a girl understand this, it just so happens that I'm here, just stay here for a while, and wait for Lianzi to grow up." Grandma Luo thought about it before saying.

"It's too long at this time, there are a lot of things at home now, I have to go to the town at two ends in three days, Cuizhen's family affairs have to be busy, Zhuyuan has to be busy, and my mother can't be busy when she is not at home. Besides, the neighbors can't see you, and they can't chew the root of their tongue behind their backs? ”

Uncle Zhang Chengdong felt a headache when he thought of this, and the villagers saw the scene yesterday.

Grandma Luo hesitated a little when she heard this, and at this time, Liu Guiyuan, who was at the door, entered the house with a smile under the push of the eldest sister and the second sister, and said coquettishly to Grandma Luo: "Grandma, don't go back, just come to my house to take care of a few of us, you see that the lotus seeds are so small, so that we can rest assured that we can look at them?" ”

At the same time, the eldest sister and the second sister also came in to persuade them, and Liu Guiyuan said to the uncle with a smile: "Uncle, ask my grandmother to accompany us at home, a few of us are busy every day, we really don't have time to bring lotus seeds, our grandmother never cares about these, you can't bear to call us all wild children?" ”

Uncle Zhang Chengdong made it difficult, he looked at a few nieces who were like flowers and bones, and it was really hard to refuse, but when his son didn't take the old lady home, it didn't work, and when the village people wanted to laugh, they could only persuade hard, and only persuaded him twice, and Grandma Luo interrupted him:

"No, I can't watch a few granddaughters suffer, if you want to go back, go back, if someone in the village asks, you say that I brought the child to my daughter's house, although there is a lot of work at home, you, your daughter-in-law and Tiezhu three people come, I see that I can finish it, and a few red dates are busy here, and they don't stop all day long......"

Uncle Zhang Chengdong was finally convinced, and walked back dejectedly, saying that he would come to see the old lady in two days. Only the three sisters of the Liu family, hearing that their grandmother was willing to live at home for a long time, all of them blossomed.
