Liu Yao's saw that he was unhappy, and the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table, and the snap scared Liu Hongjuo, Liu Huahua protected her sister and didn't ask Liu Yaoshi to speak, "Grandma, don't worry, this money is all earned by a few of us, how to collect it and how to spend it, we all know it in our hearts, you are busy every day, so you won't bother with it." ”

Liu Yao's three granddaughters refused one by one, and there was no smile on his face, and he said with a straight face: "What's the use of raising you little girls?" It's hard to make so much money, so we only have six or seven taels left? Losers' things, why don't you bring the money to you and I'll collect it? Put it in your hands again, and when your father and mother come back, how much money will be left? ”

Liu Yao's said that he wanted to collect money from them, but Liu Guiyuan didn't want to do what she wanted, and said, "What is a loser? Before my father and mother went out, they didn't leave a penny at home, and didn't all this money earned by our sisters? Without us making money, the house and courtyard walls at home were all built out of thin air? ”

"Isn't this a loser? How many girls do you wear, which one is cheaper? Whoever wants to marry you will be a loser. Liu Yaoshi stretched out his rough hand and dragged the bijia on Liu Guiyuan's body, "I haven't worn this new sweater yet, how many of you will put it on?" Unfilial things, if your father is here, he will have to beat you! ”

The more Liu Yao spoke, the more excited he became, slamming the table, Li sat on the side and didn't speak, but the second uncle opened his mouth to persuade him, but it didn't have much effect, and soon the third aunt Lin began to mix blindly.

"Guiyuan, your grandmother is right, you guys knitted sweaters at home, why didn't you think about giving her one to wear? The older generation didn't get the blessings, and the younger generation was so anxious? ”

Liu Guiyuan ignored the third aunt, looked at Liu Yao's funny and said, "Grandma wants to wear a sweater for a long time, so you open your mouth, what are you doing with so many turns?" But let me say more, grandma wants sweaters, yes, wants to give us money, that's impossible, how old are we, can't we hold a few small dollars by ourselves? ”

"Grandma, what are you talking about during the Chinese New Year? It's not early, so I'll tell them to go back after dinner, I don't want to see people talk about it. Liu Yao was about to get angry, Liu Tieniu suddenly stood up and wanted to stop this conversation,

"What are you talking about? Tie Niu, you don't know your grandmother's heart, you see your eldest uncle's family, until this we don't have a man, she has a few girls who make a few dollars, all of them buy this and buy that and squander it, I don't ask them for money, don't give them to collect, what does your eldest uncle mean when he comes back? ”

"What are you doing with so much of his own family affairs?" Liu Tieniu was a little impatient when he heard this, and his grandmother told him what he was doing.

Liu Guiyuan no longer took care of Liu Yaoshi, dragged the eldest sister's hand, looked at the lotus seed in her arms and said: "Then let's go, a few of them are girls, this will only make our grandmother angry, it is better to go home and eat Chinese New Year's Eve by yourself, save her upset." ”

"It's okay for you to stay at home to eat, anyway, it's not convenient to walk at night, and you will come to eat dumplings early tomorrow morning, it's the same." The second uncle, Liu Chonglin, laughed and wanted to ease the atmosphere between the two sides.

The sisters put on scarves and hand cages, wrapped a small quilt for lotus seeds and walked out, just when they bumped into Liu Tiedan, who ran into the house, he grabbed an unlit cannon in his hand, and said excitedly to Liu Tieniu: "Big brother, you see I found a handful." Liu Tieniu glanced at him, didn't pay attention to him, his eyes fell on the three sisters, and quickly moved away.

Liu Guiyuan didn't want to pay attention to Liu Tiedan, followed the eldest sister and the second sister out of the yard, and went to his own house in the village. From the indoors to the outside, you can really feel the cold, Liu Guiyuan rubbed his hands, tore off the scarf and covered his head to keep warm.

"Eldest sister, are we going to come again tomorrow morning?" Liu Huahua really didn't want to see Liu Yao's face, so he took Liu Hongjuo's hand and said, "It's not enough to be angry when you come, or you just ask us for money again." ”

"No, the second uncle has spoken just now, and we have all agreed, it won't be like talking if you don't go tomorrow morning, and then she will have something to say in her mouth." Liu Hongzao shook his head and said.

"Our grandmother is really a pro-grandmother, 365 days a year, and she can't forget to blackmail us for money one day, if you tell someone else's family, people won't believe it at all." Liu Guiyuan smiled after speaking, and then said: "As long as she dares to speak, I will dare to scold her, hey, if she has money, she just won't give it to her!" ”

After arriving home, the family was cold pot and cold stove, Liu Hongjube put the lotus seeds into the quilt, and hurried to boil the boiled egg custard.

In the evening, the three sisters made dumplings, and after eating early, they scooped hot water to wash their feet and faces, and then went back to their respective rooms to cover the quilt and sleep. Liu Guiyuan and Liu Huahua are in the same bed, and the firepower on both of them is not small, and if they lie on the bed for a while, the bed will be hot.

When the adults are not at home, they and the children don't care whether they keep the year or not, they just gossip a few words and get ready to sleep. Liu Guiyuan went to the toilet twice because he drank too much dumpling tea, and then he had some insomnia and lay in bed in a daze.

There is no shortage of money in the family at present, and when Liu Chongshan and his wife come back, as long as they don't do much, the family can live well, the eldest sister can marry a very good family, and the second sister can marry out instead of staying at home, she can do whatever she wants after she has the capital, it is the youngest lotus seed, and she doesn't have to be sad when she grows up.

In fact, there are so many families in the village, Liu Chongshan's family is relatively poor, first, he has many children, everyone has to open their mouths to eat, and second, he wants to have a son and doesn't put his heart on life at all, this is like a vicious circle, the poorer the poorer, the poorer the poorer.

Liu Guiyuan unconsciously imagined that when Liu Chongshan and his wife came back, Liu Guiyuan stood in front of them, took out a handful of silver and stacked it in front of them, so that they knew who was the boss in this family......

Just thinking about it, Liu Guiyuan vaguely heard some movement outside, as if someone was talking outside, and was about to listen carefully, Wang Wang screamed twice, which frightened her heart, and Liu Huahua, who was in the same bed, woke up suddenly, sat up and asked in a panic: "What's wrong, ah?" What is a dead dog called? ”

Liu Hongjuo, who was next door, was also startled, put on a sweater and a short jacket, and hurriedly got out of bed with his shoes on, "It's okay, I'll go out and have a look." Liu Guiyuan and Liu Huahua got out of bed at the same time, followed her, and opened the west door with a noisy sound.

"Ah, it seems to be our firewood stack, let's go, go and put out the fire." Liu Hongjube opened his eyes wide, saw the firewood stack next to the pigsty on the west side, lit a raging fire, hurriedly opened the door and ran outside, Liu Huahua followed behind and shouted: "Fetch water, eldest sister take water to extinguish the fire!" When Liu Guiyuan heard this, he turned his head and ran into the hall, picked up a wooden basin, lifted the bamboo curtain and scooped up the water, and hurriedly ran outside.

At the end of the burning firewood stack, several people were fighting the fire, and ran over to take a look, it turned out to be the fourth grandmother's house and another family surnamed Qiao's family, Liu Hongzao reacted at this time, scooped up the empty basin on the ground, and ran to his house, Liu Guiyuan, who was coming, grabbed her and said: "Sister, just burn a firewood stack, don't panic." Liu Peanut splashed half a bucket of water, then picked up the broken broom that swept the pigsty, crackled and hit the firewood stack, and said to the dog baby who helped: "Brother Dog baby, hug the peanut seedlings!" ”

The dog baby who came to help, nodded, took the broken broom, and used two or three efforts to separate the burning peanut seedlings, and Xu Shanmei next to him held the bucket to pour firewood, and soon the water in the bucket was exhausted.

"There is no water at home, so I go to the front to fetch water." Liu Hongzao only scooped half a basin of water, and the water tank had already seen the bottom, so she had to carry the flat pole and the bucket, and ran to the firewood stack in a panic to splash water. ”

The man surnamed Qiao was a young couple, and the man said, "Give me the bucket, and I'll fetch water." Then he took Liu Hongjube's bucket and, accompanied by his wife, ran to the well. At this time, the firewood stack was completely burned, and there was a reflection of the fire, and it was translucent everywhere, so that even if you went to the well to fetch water, you could see it clearly.

"The maize straw is also about to catch up, and water is splashed on it!" The fourth grandmother saw that the peanut seedlings and maize straw were piled close, and there was a faint tendency to burn, so she hurriedly reminded her that Liu Guiyuan walked over to see that it was indeed going to burn, and then looked at the half-burned peanut seedlings, and simply said: "Everyone, don't care about the peanut seedlings, it is estimated that watering will not save them, first take care of the maize straw, and you can keep a little bit." ”

"Yes, I can't put out the fire, just burn it, just burn it, just save the maize straw." Liu Huaanhua held a branch in his hand, and his face was full of sweat from the fire.

"Peanut, stay away from the fire, don't get the sparks burning in your hands." Liu Hongjube walked over, dragged Liu Huahua back, looked at the two stacks of firewood and shook his head, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that it would not be extinguished for a while.

At this time, most of the people in the village were watching the New Year, and when they heard the movement outside, they came out to check, and when they saw the fire in the village, they knew where it was burning, and hurriedly brought water to extinguish the fire. After surviving, he finally saved the maize straw, but the peanut seedlings next door were all burned to ashes.

Everyone looked at the red spark in front of them, and talked nonsense, "Oh, why did it catch fire?" Liu Huaanhua stomped his feet on the side regrettably, and said angrily: "Who knows, we are all asleep, just listen to the crackling outside, open the door and see that they are all burning, this peanut seedlings we plan to feed the sheep, alas!" ”

The sheep dried with peanut seedlings are also eaten, originally they planned to raise a few lambs in the spring, and they will feed the peanut seedlings without grass for a while, but who knows that the pile in the pigsty here will be burned inexplicably, and even the wild apricot trees planted here are also roasted to death.

The movement of the fire soon attracted the second uncle and the third uncle to come and see, and the second uncle Liu Chonglin looked around, comforted a few of them and said: "It's okay if people are fine, a firewood stack, burn it." The third uncle, Liu Chonghe, asked them: "But how many of you are playing artillery here?" Or is it someone else playing here? How did it catch fire? ”
