Chapter 32: Striving for Progress
In the end, before Zhang Sijiu left, Yang Yuanding repeatedly promised: "Don't worry, no matter what you do, I will help you." If you really want to get married, I'll definitely marry you. Then when you meet someone you like, let's get a divorce. ”
Zhang Sijiu was not moved at all, and squinted at Yang Yuanding: "Don't think about it, your family won't agree." ”
Do you understand? Naive!
Yang Yuanding waved his hand: "You don't understand, you haven't been able to resist the parents of your children." With the right approach, it will definitely work! ”
For this point, Yang Yuanding, who has been favored for two lives, is full of confidence and confidence.
Zhang Sijiu's teeth were sore again.
She suspected that she and Yang Yuanding were not fellow villagers at all, and they could not become friends. Instead, it should become a control group!
Zhang Sijiu had a heart attack for a moment, and finally said firmly: "I just want to make money and make a career." Forget about the rest. ”
Marriage or something, it's unreliable to think about it!
Yang Yuanding tried to persuade Zhang Sijiu: "That's just the last resort." ”
Zhang Sijiu didn't bother to pay attention to him.
After talking for a while, the Xu family came to them.
When Xu was brought in, she was also stunned and full of apprehension - even if she was a smart and capable woman in the countryside, but when she arrived in this unfamiliar environment, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Yang Yuanding beckoned Xu to drink water and eat snacks.
Xu is uncomfortable: this gap between identity and family background is no more obvious than now.
Zhang Sijiu also saw it. So she got up and politely took her leave.
Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and repeatedly said that it was not too early, and it was time to go back to make lunch.
Although Yang Yuanding still wanted to talk to Zhang Sijiu, he also saw that Xu was uncomfortable, so he didn't keep it.
But he wrapped up the dim sum on the table that had barely moved and put it into Zhang Sijiu's basket: "You say hello to Granny Yang for me." ”
Zhang Sijiu understood that the dim sum was for the Yang family.
She didn't refuse.
But when they were really sent to the door, Yang Yuanding quietly stuffed a bag of things, and secretly said to Zhang Sijiu: "Girls need to replenish more blood, you can keep this bag of jujube quietly and eat it." ”
He wanted to say it a long time ago, Zhang Sijiu's yellow hair was dry and withered, and his face was dry, so it was not good to go on like this.
Zhang Sijiu didn't react, he was already smiling brightly and waving goodbye to them: "I'll go to play with you in two days!" ”
Holding the small package of oiled paper, Zhang Sijiu finally smiled back: "Okay." When the time comes, I'll take you to have fun! ”
She thought, although she is a rich second generation and doesn't know the meaning of human suffering, but on the whole, this fellow is still a very kind person.
On the way back, Xu couldn't help but ask about the things after the separation.
After learning that Zhang Sijiu had sold mushrooms and got thirty dollars, Xu was a little surprised.
After knowing that she also told the shopkeeper that she would bring eggs over next time, Xu was even more surprised: "How did you come up with the idea of selling eggs?" ”
Zhang Sijiu pulled Xiaobai and explained: "The second aunt is going to sell eggs anyway, and it takes a long time to go to the market. ”
Xu Shi still couldn't stop being surprised: how did Jiu Niang become so smart!
Looking at his two sons who only knew how to eat and play, Xu gritted his teeth angrily: they are all the seeds of the Zhang family, why are they not a little smart?
After Zhang Sijiu finished talking about his experience, he went to see Xu's back basket.
Xu's back basket is covered with sycamore leaves for shade, but there is a tender cry of a duckling inside, and you can see the tender yellow fluff through the gap in the back basket.
Zhang Sijiu asked curiously: "Second aunt, how many ducklings did we buy?" ”
"Bought ten pairs." Xu Shile said: "It looks good, and I am willing to eat, so it is estimated that it is easy to raise." ”
A pair of two, a pair of ten is twenty.
Not particularly much.
Zhang Sijiu was a little dissatisfied: "Why don't you buy more?" ”
Xu smiled at Zhang Sijiu's disappointed look, and patiently explained: "I can't see it if I buy too much." The chicken pen is not big enough, and it is easy to get sick if it is too crowded. And we only have so many fields, and if we go to other people's fields more, it is a trivial matter to be scolded, and if people are caught and do not pay it back, we are also at a loss. ”
Zhang Sijiu understood: "Okay then." ”
After returning home, Xu put down the back basket, Zhang Sijiu lifted the sycamore leaves on the back basket, and saw a group of yellow fluffy ducklings with tender yellow small mouths and small black bean eyes.
I have to say, the ducklings are so cute.
Even the soles of their feet are tender yellow.
Probably a little scared, the ducklings were huddled together one by one, almost huddled together.
In the chicken pen, Xu used a braided bamboo fence to enclose a small piece, and put the ducklings into it.
Zhang Sijiu counted, and it was indeed twenty.
Then, Xu used two broken bowls and clay pots, each filled with a little grass mixed with rice bran, cleaned the well water, and used it as a food bowl and a water basin for the ducklings.
The ducklings soon began to eat and drink.
The appearance of pecking two bites and swallowing with his neck on his back is smart and cute.
Zhang Sijiu couldn't help but look at it for a while: Otherwise, except for insects, all biological cubs are very cute!
Komatsu and Kobai also watched along.
And Komatsu obviously did not forget his mission, and said with a smile: "I must put the ducks well!" ”
Xu Shi smiled: "You don't have to put it now." Raise it for more than ten days first. Wait until it's older! ”
Zhang Sijiu had seen enough of the ducklings, so he went to wash his hands, and first gave the bag of dim sum to Yang's family, explaining Yang Yuanding's intentions. took the money and went to Xu: "Second aunt, can I keep some of this money?" ”
What she thought was, three seven open. She left ten money, and handed over the rest to the Xu family as daily expenses.
Xu never expected that Zhang Sijiu would give him the money he had finally sold, and he was a little stunned for a while.
But looking at Zhang Sijiu like that, she knew that Zhang Sijiu was serious.
Xu wanted to laugh again, but his eyelids were a little sour: "What are you doing here?" You can keep that money and buy candy to eat. ”
"It's enough for me to keep ten dollars, and the second aunt will take the rest of the money." Zhang Sijiu unswervingly put the money in Xu's hands.
Although some are reluctant, the Xu family is in charge, and it costs money for a large family to eat, drink, and Lazar. Especially the matter of the little pumpkin feeding - every once in a while, it always has to be sent to the Li family, which is also very expensive.
Xu Shi looked at the twenty coins tied up with a thread, and figured it out: "Do you think that you have to raise a little pumpkin, so-"
Zhang Sijiu didn't admit it, but changed to a more euphemistic tone: "I don't want the second aunt to work so hard." ”
For the sake of the family's life, the Xu family can be said to have tried his best, calculating everywhere, for fear that he would not be thrifty enough.
Zhang Xiaoshan goes to do odd jobs every day, and it is also very hard. But in Zhang Sijiu's opinion, he is not as hard as Xu's. Xu worries more, and has more scattered work, from morning to night, like a spinning top.
She really felt sorry for the Xu family - after all, after all, the Xu family was only twenty-six years old, which was younger than Zhang Sijiu's original age.
