"Dad, what did you say fifty taels? We have fifty taels? "Yan Yu's little ears are pointed!

"Well, don't you want to report back to you in the evening?" Yan Lao Er looked around like a thief, and whispered: "I went to the town today, and let the people from the gambling house stop me, if I have to ask for money, Lao Yan will give the family ten acres of land, no, I didn't see the ticket, it should be sold, seventy taels, I owe the twenty, and there are fifty taels left." ”

"Daddy!" Yan Yu gagged dissatisfied, "Why don't you say anything about such a big thing when you come back!" ”

"Isn't it too late? Your uncle also asked me to go to the town again, to cash these notes, just this little bit of work at noon, I have to take a bite first, Dabao, look at you, you are not happy to go, or you will go to the town with me in the afternoon? Don't say it, it's really good for you to draw that simple map, but if you have it, I'll be blind. Yan Lao Er rejoiced.

"To town?" Yan Yu's eyes lit up, flashing like little stars, "Okay, good!" ”

Li Xuemei listened to the two of them discussing the scenery of the town, and smiled helplessly, there are not a few streets in such a big town.

The family of three drank some slippery rice soup, and Yan Lao Er took his daughter-in-law to Cui Langzhong's house, and returned it to the donkey cart by the way.

He suddenly reacted, why did Lao Yan let him run one more time, a little too many things might be just one of them, and he went on his legs, so he could drive the ox cart back on the return trip.

When I arrived at Cui Langzhong's house, I first thanked him, and pushed the wheat straw prepared for the donkey for a long time, and finally Cui Niangzi took it.

Cui Langzhong touched Li Xuemei's pulse, and it was indeed a happy pulse.

In Cui Niangzi's stack of congratulations, she returned home in a trance.

Although the girl has said it a long time ago, she was confirmed by the doctor, and her mood was different.

"It's really there, almost two months." Li Xuemei said to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and said with a smile: "In a few months, our family will have two treasures!" ”

"Yes, Erbao is coming! You have to prepare in advance. Yan Lao Er lifted his spirits.

At first, of course, I was happy, but after a short period of joy, I also had some sorrow.

What kind of harsh conditions are they now, how to raise children!

"Second uncle, dad called you over." The eldest nephew came and called him.

He answered, and hurried away.

When he entered the house, he asked thoughtlessly: "Big brother, do you want to ......?"

"Shut up!" Yan Huaiwen couldn't help but stop him, he was too eyeless to see, he was already able to go to the ground by himself, and he kept asking.

He gasped for breath twice, "The car is back?" Do you have a good thank you? ”

"I went back and cut a bag of wheat straw and sent it to me." Yan Lao Er replied honestly.

"Why are you still with your daughter-in-law? Are your siblings unwell? Yan Huaiwen remembered in a trance that his younger brother and sister had a serious illness at this time, but he didn't know why.

"Lady, she has it!" Yan Lao Er hadn't been happy yet, and as soon as someone asked, he couldn't wait to share: "Cui Langzhong touched the pulse, saying that it was two months old, hehe!" ”

Yan Huaiwen was shocked!

Two months pregnant...... A serious illness......

This child, this child, should not be saved.

And it's just these days.

He once again warned himself that he must not separate the family.

Look at his second brother, how did he do without him? I can't even keep my own children.

Thinking of adding a new ding, Yan Huaiwen couldn't help but be overjoyed, pointed to Cheng Yi given to him by the dean, and said:

"Our heirs are thin, adding Ding is a big deal, I didn't think about it before, I bought brown rice for the top hunger, it doesn't hurt for us to eat, my brother and sister are expensive, you go to the grain store to buy some polished rice and fine noodles."

He thought for a while, and said: "Although the year is not good, don't be too frugal, Erya is still young, I see that the child is very thin, and then cut some meat back to make up for the children." ”

Yan Lao Er's heart is hot, Lao Yan is really good, he is sick, and he is still thinking about this and that.

"Big brother, your body is also in a loss, you can't just take medicine, you have to eat a lot to nourish yourself." Yan Lao Er decided to buy more, not only the pregnant women and children in the family had to eat, but Yan also had to make up for it, just by taking medicine.

"I'm fine." Yan Huaiwen waved his hand, in the previous life, he went to Fucheng for refuge, and the journey was difficult, this time he was ready to move his family to the north, the road was farther, and it would only be more tireless.

The poor family is rich, and no matter how much they prepare, they don't feel enough.

In the end, the money is still tight, and I don't know if I can hold on to Guanzhou.

"Go quickly, go early and come back early."

"Alas!"

……

Yan Lao Er didn't bring his daughter to the town in the end.

Just after noon, the sun was getting bigger, and he was walking, he felt sorry for the child, so he had to promise to take her with him next time.

Walking all the way, when he arrived in the town, Yan Lao Er went to fetch the ox cart first.

The ox cart of twenty-eight taels is really extraordinary, and it looks more magnificent than the mule cart and donkey cart next to it.

drove the ox cart all the way to pick up the goods, and finally arrived at the grain store, he learned about Lao Yan's generosity.

Bought a whole four bags of brown rice, the guy helped carry it into the car, he tried to lift it slightly, and it sank very much.

He bought some rice and white noodles, and saw that there was less millet and less scales.

He cut a piece of moderately fat meat, picked out some large bones that had been shaved clean, and finally inked with the butcher stall owner for a while, so that he spared half of his pork liver.

He didn't know how much money he had left.

I only know that there are two pieces of broken silver, and there are more than a dozen pieces of copper plate.

Illiteracy is not terrible, but it is terrible to be illiterate......

When he returned home, the eldest brother went out with his eldest nephew.

"I said I was going to see how much wheat was missing." Li Xuemei helped to organize the small things, and then went to the kitchen with meat, big bones and pork liver.

It's hard to eat a meal of meat, but she has to cook well, she doesn't know how well the big girl cooks, and she doesn't have a chance to let the child show it these days, but she understands and affirms the child's father's cooking skills.

Today, you must let Yan Lao Er cook it himself.

A small basin of water, don't be too pretentious, it's all the parts of the pig's body, no one dislikes anyone, a basin is washed.

Yan Lao Er finally unloaded the four bags of brown rice, and he felt a little bit on his upper body, and one bag was almost a hundred catties.

After removing the frame and tying the cows, his daughter volunteered to feed the cows, and he slipped into the kitchen.

"I'll do it."

Kiss the two and want to go together.

Li Xuemei got out of the way, lowered her body, and studied the stove.

Yan Lao Er took the kitchen knife, found a large coarse porcelain bowl, and sharpened the knife.

Yan Yu heard the voice and ran over.

Stuck on the door frame, staring at her father without blinking.

The hand is knifed, the fat and lean are separated, and then the skin is removed.

Chop the big bones, chop it.

Start ignition, heat the stove.

The eldest girl heard the movement and ran over in a hurry.

I saw her second uncle, cutting the fat into pieces, directly into the pot, the meat became smaller and smaller, the lard gradually increased, and the tempting aroma and domineering old brain gushed out.
