The next day, the second uncle Liu Chonglin came to her house and apologized on behalf of Liu Yao's family, "Tie Niu suddenly left, my mother didn't feel a good feeling, saying that what you two said was a bit heavy, you two must not take it to heart." ”

"It's okay, we're used to it." Liu Huahua was not happy in his heart, so he didn't squeak, Liu Guiyuan saw it and quickly answered, no matter what he said, the second uncle didn't offend them.

"Did you buy a mule?" The second uncle had sharp eyes, and at a glance he saw the mules in the yard, with blue and black hair, and a touch of red on his head.

"Well, I bought it yesterday when I had time, and by the way, I bought a halter, a mule saddle and a trolley, the trolley is with a roof and a fence, and it is comfortable to sit in." Liu Hongjube was teaching lotus seeds to stand on the wall.

"Okay, it's good, you guys are busy first, I still have something to do in town, and I still can't build a shed when I turn around, so go to the house and call me." The second uncle said a few words and left in a hurry.

"What can the second uncle do when he comes to town?" After the second uncle left, Liu Huahua spoke, Liu Guiyuan thought about it, and estimated that he was still dealing with the matter of Tie Niu, remembering that the second uncle said that he would rent a store for Tie Niu a year ago, and he didn't know what it was.

Two days later, the second aunt Li came to the door, specially came to learn to knit sweaters, Liu Guiyuan saw that her face was very bad, so he asked her if there was anything at home, Li listened to it and pinched his sleeves to wipe his tears, "It's not a good thing that Tie Niu did, he took all the money in the family before he left, it turned out that the town rented a shop for him, and your second uncle said to go to the town to see, only to know that the shop was not rented at all." ”

"Huh? No, didn't you rent it a few years ago? Liu Huahua hurriedly asked.

"Who said no, I was here with your second uncle at the time, and I saw the agreement he signed with someone, who knew that this time I went back to the town to open the door, and the people didn't admit it, saying that Tie Niu had returned the rent twenty days ago, and it had nothing to do with my family, how dare you tell Tie Niu, a dead boy, how dare you be so confused?"

"If you quit the lease, you can't get all the rental money back, right?" Liu Hongzao also asked.

"When I rented at that time, I gave a total of twenty taels of silver, and the people who quit the rent returned five taels less, saying that it was a loss of the store, and I didn't understand, so I knew that the fifteen taels of silver were all asked to be taken away, and there was no penny left in our family, alas." Every time he said this, Li's heart felt like a needle prick, he really never dreamed that his own son could practice himself like this.

"That's no way, if you quit the lease, it's a breach of contract, people just don't give back, you have to admit it, so you still have ...... in your hands" Liu Guiyuan stopped talking about this, and the fifteen taels and two uncles who returned didn't get it, no matter how much she comforted her, it was useless.

"Then the second uncle can inquire, is Brother Tie Niu going out alone or in a company?" Liu Guiyuan changed the subject.

"I asked, and there were two dead boys who went with him, one was the person who had learned carpentry with him, and the other was a distant relative of this person, who said that he was used to running away and knew what to do to make money." Li resented Tie Niu in his heart, but in the end, he still hoped that he could earn money and come back sooner or later.

Li talked to them for a while, and also learned how to knit sweaters, and was about to take some woolen yarn home to weave, Liu Hongzao took a dozen woolen balls from the house and said: "There is not much wool at home, you can take it all the second aunt, you can weave as much as you can, anyway, we will go to the town to send a sweater again, and we will not send it in the future." ”

Soon the spring will be warm, and there will be fewer people who need to buy sweaters, and the materials they use to weave sweaters are almost the same, and the rest of the wool balls will be taken back by the second aunt, so she should do her a little favor, and she can earn a hundred yuan.

"Hey, I'll bring it to you as soon as I'm done, so I won't delay you sending it to the town to sell." The second aunt carried a basket with a handful of vegetable seeds, handed it to her and said, "Red dates, this is for you, don't you say that there are many vegetables grown by my family?" I'll take a little bit of the same, and you can light it up and water it yourself. ”

"Thank you so much." Liu Hongzao was quite happy to see the vegetable seeds, and his family was indeed going to open up a vegetable garden, but Li then said: "What, the money I took from your family a year ago is estimated to be repaid later, your second uncle, let's go to the town to sell stinky tofu, and we will sell bamboo tube cakes in the summer, and we will pay you back as soon as we get together?" ”

"Okay, you go slowly." What else can Liu Hongzao say, he can only agree, but fortunately, they are not short of this money in their hands now.

After the Li family left, the three sisters got together and muttered, and Liu Huahua took the lead in saying: "Brother Tie Niu is really confused, just like that bandit, all the money in the family and the money outside the family are taken away!" ”

"There are also a hundred taels of my family, I can't figure it out, what kind of business can he do with so much money, I think it is possible to be deceived by others." Liu Guiyuan shook his head, he didn't expect Liu Tieniu to earn money and bring it home, the two people who were traveling with him were definitely not good people, one pushed him out to earn money, and the other took the opportunity to fool him into taking out the silver.

"A good person, why did he become like this, isn't this a loser!" After Liu Hongzao finished speaking, he went to the house to get a shovel, called them together, and said, "Let's go, we don't care about his family affairs, we can get the vegetable garden right." ”

The sister said that she would do it, expand the original small vegetable garden, serve vegetables in rows, and leave a lot of empty space, I didn't want to waste it, so I went to the fourth grandmother's house and Liu Jindi's house, and asked for some vegetable seeds, and the corners and corners were all pointed, and I didn't have to worry about having no vegetables to eat this year.

"You see that our family has these chickens and nine rabbits, and they will have to be released and raised in the future." Liu Guiyuan proposed to make a fence in the vegetable garden, otherwise it would be easy to be ruined by chickens and rabbits.

Some time ago, they caught a lot of wild rabbits outside the village, Xu Shanmei and the dog baby caught eleven together, three died and there were eight left, they caught nine themselves, two died, and the two that were originally alive were still nine.

These hares are now kept in the chicken pen, and when the grass grows after the beginning of spring, Liu Guiyuan wants to enclose a place at the gate of the compound, and the periphery is blocked by fishing nets, and chickens and rabbits are raised there during the day.

"The branches of our tree are all tender, and they are not easy to break, and we also use maize straw to fence it a little."

Liu Hongzao looked at the pigsty, the original peanut seedling stacks were all black ash, and there was still a small half of the maize straw stacks on the side, and the firewood at home was used up.

After taking care of the vegetable garden, the sisters have nothing to do, in addition to feeding the chickens and rabbits and taking care of the mules during the day, they are to go to the field to see the new wheat seedlings, and they don't have to be busy with watering the wheat field this year, Xu Liangyin and Zhou Caidie and his wife said in advance, they will water them in these days, and they don't need to do it.

Xu Liangyin's family knitted sweaters privately, wanted to get out to sell money, and almost passed on the craft of knitting sweaters, Liu Guiyuan fined them twenty taels of silver in order to punish them, and later agreed to rub some wool thread for her family, and then poured wheat on her family and other members' families, and the silver was returned to the two of them.

Speaking of more than 30 households' wheat fields, they really have to be watered from house to house, which can really make people tired enough, and the time is too busy, there are soft-hearted people, seeing Xu Liangyin and his wife carrying buckets, they said that they don't need to water it, Xu Liangyin and his wife are also hard this time, and they have to follow behind to water it again, and they also said that if they don't let them water it, they will not forgive them.

In this way, the original soft-hearted family is not good to persuade again, but just steamed an extra cake from home, which can be regarded as a thank you for his help, and the reputation of Xu Liangyin and his family in the village is not so bad, but this is all a later story.

The next night, Liu Guiyuan slept until midnight, and suddenly heard a dog barking, and then heard someone shouting outside: "Red date girl, peanuts, longan, you get up quickly, your father and mother are back home." ”

"Go, dead dog, don't bark!" Liu Huahua kicked the puppy away, took the lead in getting out of bed and opening the door with his shoes, then Liu Guiyuan, who was woken up, and finally Liu Hongjuo, who was far away from the door, and the three of them heard that their father and mother were back, and they were excited and tearful.

As soon as the big wooden door opened, I saw in the moonlight, it was Gu who knocked on the door and shouted just now, and it was Liu Chongshan and his wife standing behind her.

"Is this really my family?" Liu Chongshan couldn't help but speak.

"Yes, it's not your house, you can't recognize it when it's changed, right?" Gu Shixi grinned happily and said to the three sisters of the Liu family: "I came back with my family, but I didn't dare to recognize it when I walked to your door, and I said that I went to the wrong place, so I will bring them over if I can't do it." ”

"Dad, mother, you two are tired all the way, come into the house, this is our house." Liu Hongzao helped her mother into the yard, Liu Huahua greeted her father behind her, and by the way, Liu Guiyuan hurriedly went back to the house and lit the oil lamp to illuminate a few of them.

"Okay, I'll go back, my family is still waiting for me to come." The Gu family can be said to be in good spirits on happy occasions, even in the middle of the night, they are very energetic, no matter whether they hear it or not, they gather their clothes and stride towards home. When her man returned home, she felt that she had a backbone.

"Why did you come back at night, Daddy, you're hungry, do you want to order some noodles for you to eat?" Liu Guiyuan had already lit the oil lamp and welcomed the two of them to the living room of the east wing, Liu Chongshan sat on a bamboo chair, and saw the furnishings in the house clearly by the light, "This is a new house, how many girls did you build it?" ”

"Yes, it was only built last fall." Liu Guiyuan replied to him, and was about to go to the fire to burn the pot and order some noodles, when he heard Liu Hongzao squatting on the ground and asking Zhang, "Mother, why are your hands so cold and your face so white?" ”

Liu Guiyuan took the opportunity to look over, it was really like this, Zhang's face was as pale as snow, his lips were covered with dry skin, his eyes were dull, and he looked at it without any light, and he looked weird in the middle of the night.

"Here, bring me a little girl to see." Zhang's strength was weak, as if she just remembered that she also had a daughter, Liu Huahua ran into the eldest sister's house, and sent the lotus seeds that woke up but didn't cry to Zhang's hands, "Mother, the lotus seeds will be called sister." ”

Zhang's hugged his daughter who was heavy in his hand, thinking of the child who had lost on the road, he could no longer hold back the sadness in his heart, threw himself on the lotus seed, and cried loudly, "Son, my son, why are you so squeamish, unwilling to give birth to my belly......."

Zhang's suddenly cried like this, not only the three sisters were blinded, but the lotus seed she held in her arms was also frightened and cried, Liu Chongshan patted the table on the side, and said angrily: "Okay, crying all the way is not bad enough!" Then he said to them, "The boy whose mother was so hard to conceive outside walked without paying attention to a fall, gave my son a good fall." ”

No wonder Zhang was supported by Liu Chongshan before entering the house, no wonder her complexion was not as good as when she left home, she was pregnant with her fifth child, and she only gave birth to lotus seeds in April last year, so she was pregnant again? This really doesn't take your body as a body, no wonder it will have a miscarriage, but why is Liu Chongshan so sure, this baby is a kid?

Zhang's miscarriage, I don't know if there is a small confinement on the road, it is not easy to ask at night to see this situation, the three sisters looked at each other and did not speak, first boiled a pot of noodles, beat a few more eggs, and brought it to the living room for the two of them to eat.

After eating, the sisters thought that the hall had not been cleaned up, the kang on the bed was full of ashes, and there were still sundries in the house, so they carried a rope bed and placed it in the living room, and arranged for Liu Chongshan to make do in the living room, and Zhang and them squeezed it.

As for what to say, go to bed first, and then talk about it tomorrow morning when you wake up.
