Chapter 15: Mockery
Dashan walked over, took off the burden, took it and handed it to Mrs. He.
"This baggage must have been sent with these things!" As she spoke, Mrs. He opened the bag and saw that there was a piece of fine cotton material and a note inside.
Mrs. He handed the note to He Lanyue, "Niannian, what is written on it?" ”
He Lanyue opened the note and saw the content on it, which really made her guess right.
"The letter said that let's help make a long shirt according to the size above, and the pheasant and hare should be paid, and the payment will be Luo Li at the end of the village."
Mrs. He thought for a while, "There is a young man living at the end of the village, and he seems to be the only one in the family, making a living from hunting, but how did he find our family." ”
Helan Yue hurriedly helped Luo Li brush up on the side, "Grandpa and our family live at the end of this village, oh!" By the way, there is also the family of the former second aunt who just moved next door to his house, besides, our third aunt's craftsmanship is famous far and wide, and it is not unusual for him to come over, since he sincerely wants to ask us for help, grandmother agreed! ”
"Well, what Yue'er said makes sense." Mrs. He turned around and said: "Yang, the matter of this clothes is hard for you, from tomorrow onwards, you can make clothes at home with peace of mind, and I will take the children to the work in the field." ”
"I can't help it, mother, I coax Xiaoshi to go to bed early at night, and I will be out in a few days, so I don't have to be at home during the day."
"Listen to my mother, since others are full of sincerity, we must also do our best, the light is good during the day, you can be more meticulous." As soon as Mrs. He made the final decision, everyone went their separate ways.
The third aunt took the pheasant and hare to deal with it.
The eldest sister went to make breakfast with Mrs. He.
Helan Yue took the mountains and mountains to the ground, dug a basket of half summers, and rushed home to eat morning food.
After the meal, the third aunt went to the town with the little stone.
Mrs. He took her four children to the field, first dug up the half-summer in one acre of land, and then pulled the weeds.
After lunch, when everyone was taking a lunch break, Helan Yue took the chess game and rushed to her husband's house.
The gentleman did not say anything about her coming at noon.
Seeing her review yesterday's chess game, there was no deviation in the slightest, and at the same time appreciating and praising her.
The husband told her a few key points in the game and played two more games with her.
Today she still lost as always, but she lasted a little longer than yesterday.
Mr. told her not to be proud, and to study the things on the chess game well.
When she went out in the afternoon, Mrs. He put a pheasant in a sand pot and simmered it over low heat, ready to eat it when she had a treat in the evening.
The family went to the dry land and continued to dig for half a summer and pull weeds.
Someone in the village passed by and thought it was incredible to see them digging for half a summer.
Many people in the village know that they will become fools if they eat this thing, and some people even talk about whether the He family is not poor and crazy, digging this thing to eat.
Soon, the news that the He family was digging in the ground for half a summer spread in the village.
There is even a Mrs. Lin who married Mrs. He in the same village, but always likes to compare with Mrs. He, and found them to ridicule.
Lin stood on the ground with his hands on his hips, and said proudly: "I said He's, if your family is really poor and can't open the pot, my family can lend you some black noodles, and for the sake of me marrying you in the same village, I can charge you less interest." ”
Mrs. He continued to dig for a long time, and replied without raising her head: "Don't bother with it, my family has food to eat." ”
"You don't want to die to save face and suffer from it, it's a big deal that I don't charge you interest, don't pretend in front of me, I won't laugh at you."
"I said that you are full of food and panic, you like to meddle in other people's affairs, where to stay where it is cool."
"You really bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people."
"If you have a good heart, the pig can go up the tree."
"You ......" Lin was so red by Mrs. He's face turned red, snorted, and turned around and left angrily.
Because there are guests at home today, the He family got off work half an hour earlier than usual.
On the way home, there were a few families who laughed at them in front of them, but they were all silently remembered by He Lanyue.
Let them laugh now, and there will be a time for them to cry later.
I saw the smoke rising from the kitchen at home from a distance, and it must be that the third aunt has returned.
Everyone quickened their pace, and as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, they saw the third uncle wielding an axe and chopping wood.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, I turned around and saw Mrs. He, leading a group of children, each of whom was either carrying or carrying heavy things, and suddenly their eyes were red.
Quickly put down the axe in his hand and helped put down the back baskets on several people one by one.
Only then did he walk in front of He's side, knelt down with a plop, and kowtowed.
"Mother, my son is not filial, and you and your children have suffered."
Mrs. He has been strong for a lifetime, and when she is old, she has suffered one blow after another, but fortunately, she survived.
With red eyes, she helped He Laosan up.
"It's all over, we have to look forward and live a good life in the future."
"Okay, listen to my mother."
The third uncle wiped his hands, took out a few candies from his pocket, and gave one to each of the children, but when he sent it to Helan Yue, he gave her an extra one.
The third uncle's sunny and handsome face, but his eyes were soaked with heartache, he touched Helan Yue's head, and said softly: "Yue'er, you have done a good job of separating the family, but remember, in the future, everything will be with the third uncle, the third aunt and grandmother, you just need to be happy." ”
Helan Yue's eyes turned red instantly, and she was afraid that the third uncle would find something abnormal, so she lowered her head and nodded.
It was the same in the previous life, when my father came back from meritorious service two years later, when the treasury was empty, and the saint did not give my father any reward.
After their family entered Beijing, their father's salary was more than 100 taels a month, but the expenses in the capital were really large.
In this big mansion rewarded by the saints, there are more than 30 servants in this house, and each person has two halves of silver a month, and the family still has to eat and wear, and the family can be said to be unable to make ends meet.
In addition, those people in Kyoto always laugh at their family for being dirty and poor.
For the sake of their children, the third uncle gave up his studies and devoted himself to business, which would only give them a life of fine clothes and food, so that they would not be laughed at.
In the end, it was also to protect a few of them, and they were slashed with a knife.
In this life, she will let the third uncle continue the scientific examination, he is a showman, and according to it, he can go to participate in the autumn festival this year.
It seems that it is necessary to make money quickly and let the third uncle resume his studies as soon as possible.
Mrs. He also touched the heads of several children with a heartache, "They are all good children!" ”
"Don't be sad, the third uncle will treat you as a parent and son in the future."
"Third child, remember your promise today, go wash your face, and invite Li Zheng, the patriarch, the eldest uncle, and the second uncle to dinner."
