Xiaohuazi sat in Qin's arms, her pink little hand picked at the paper bag close to her, and in a flash, she was about to tear the oily paper skin on the outside of the roast chicken, and her eyes glanced at her brother and sister, and quietly retracted her little hand.

Several children sat upright, but their eyes were looking at the table full of food, their mouths could not be closed, because saliva was flowing out, they didn't care to wipe it, and grandma hadn't spoken yet, so they could only wait obediently.

Xiao Qing sat on a small stool and looked at the more than two hundred and seventy yuan that Zhou had placed on the table.

She first counted out a hundred dollars and gave it to Zhou: "Xiao Chengniang, this money is the money for selling winter dates, my mother doesn't want you, you take it!" ”

Zhou pushed: "Mother, I don't want it, I don't have a pocket on my clothes, I can't fit it, it's better for my mother to help me keep it first!" ”

Xiao Qing stuffed it into her hand and forced her: "Take it well, this is the jujube that you and Xiaocheng picked, the jujube you sold, it should be given to you, don't save the cloth next time, sew a pocket on the clothes of the family!" ”

Zhou took the money and said hello.

Xiao Qing counted another twenty yuan to the Qin family: "These are you and Erjing, don't be too little, wait for tomorrow morning my mother will go to the mountains to pick chestnuts, and let the two of you sell chestnuts the morning after tomorrow, and then I will give you more." ”

Qin thought that she didn't help anything today, and her mother wouldn't give her a penny, and when she saw her sister-in-law earn a hundred yuan, she was full of envy in her heart, but when she heard her mother say that the day after tomorrow, let the two of them sell chestnuts, and she looked forward to it, and saw that her mother gave her twenty yuan.

"Thank you, thank you!" She quickly continued happily.

Xiao Qing looked at Qiao Yu again, and said with a smile: "I have your money this time, but I still have it here with my mother, when you want it, come to my mother to get it, don't worry, my mother won't ask you where you use it?" ”

Qiao Yu puffed out her cheeks shyly and said shyly: "Wow, mother!" ”

After dividing the money, Xiao Qing began to divide the food.

Several children couldn't help but take a small bite for a long time, but they were all put back by Qiao Cheng.

Xiao Qing looked at a few anxious children, waiting for her to open her mouth and allow them to eat, but she wanted to tease them.

"I remember who wanted to eat roast chicken?"

The water mandarin raised his hand all of a sudden: "It's me, grandma, it's me!" ”

Xiao Qing put down the roast chicken and picked up the white bread again: "Who wants to eat white bread?" ”

At this time, Hanako and Yuanyuan quickly raised their hands: "It's me, it's me, grandma, milk!" ”

"Whose snowflake crisp?"

"Me, Grandma!" Yoko raised her hand gently.

"Whose preserves?" Qiao Cheng raised his two hands: "My grandma, grandma's sugar gourd is also mine!" ”

Xiao Qing smiled and looked at their drool.

"Okay, okay, grandma won't mess with you anymore!" Xiao Qing called Qin's family: "Yuan Yuan Niang, you cook some gruel at noon, I bought half a cage of white flour meat buns, as well as two and a half roast chickens, several kinds of pastries, cook more gruel, millet and white rice are cooked together, let's eat white bread at noon!" ”

Qin sighed: "Okay, I'll cook it." ”

Xiao Qing gave five strings of honey-flavored sugar gourds and candied fruits to a few children, and asked them to wash their hands after eating.

Qiao Cheng was the first to smell the smell of sugar gourd, and the sweet taste rushed into his nose: "It's so fragrant!" ”

He couldn't wait to take a bite and chew it in his mouth: "Hmm...... It's so sweet! Oops, it's so sour! ”

Several children watched him eat, and they were anxious to lick and eat one after another, talking about sour and sweet, all enjoying eating together around the table.

Xiao Qing saw the children eating sugar gourds and candied fruits with their heads down, and smiled and asked Qiao Cheng to watch, not letting them run and eat, if they finished eating, they would run again, and the wooden skewers of the sugar gourds in the province would be pierced.

She got up and hugged the cloth and asked Qiao Erjing to send the rice and flour oil to the grass hut, and Zhou carried the pork and salt to the grass shed, although Qiao Yu was only eleven years old, she did not eat sweets around the table like a few children, but carried brown sugar to the grass hut.

When Qiao Erjing turned back again, he took the white-flour meat buns and roast chicken to the grass shed, which would make the Qin family hot.

When Qiao Erjing came out and thought about the Jiang family, he felt that it was better to tell his mother and then go to help.

After delivering the food, he went to the grass hut, and then came to the grass hut, and saw his mother talking to his sister-in-law about the cloth.

"Xiao Chengniang, this piece is silk silk, you go back to Qiao Yu and Shui Yuan, Yuan Yuan and Huazi, make a dress for each person, and let them wear it when they go back to the county seat for dinner." Xiao Qing said with a smile.

Zhou touched such a good fabric: "Mother, why don't you make one for yourself first?" ”

"I've been feeling thinner and thinner lately, and I don't plan to use these good fabrics to make clothes, you guys do it first!" Xiao Qing said.

She has really lost weight in the past few days, and the clothes under the armpits of her arms were originally tightly wrapped in sleeves, and she felt a lot looser in the past two days.

Zhou responded with a smile.

Xiao Qing also wanted to talk to Zhou about the soles and uppers, but she felt that there was someone standing behind her, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Qiao Erjing standing at the door.

"Yo, Erjing, why don't you say a word at the door? Surprise me! Xiao Qing said strangely.

Qiao Erjing lowered his head and said something in his mouth, "Mother...... Mother......me."

Xiao Qing saw that he was hesitant, looked into the yard, and saw that the beds in the yard were all ready and were being dried.

She asked, "Are the beds ready?" ”

Erjing nodded: "Well, it's done!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at his mother and hurriedly lowered it.

"Erjing, what do you say, don't be like a girl, spit!" Xiao Qing was afraid that she had been gone all morning, if something had happened at home.

Qiao Erjing drooped his head and said hesitantly: "Mother, Jiang Feng has been beaten hard!" ”

After hearing this, Xiao Qing's heart was a little relieved, the Qin family and the children were fine, and thinking of his mention of the Jiang family, Xiao Qing choked his words: "He was beaten hard, you want your sister-in-law Du to go to the Jiao family brothers, what are you going to do?" I thought something was wrong, didn't you help him find a doctor and pay for the consultation? You don't have to worry about the rest of the matter! ”

"Mother, Brother Jiang Feng is a good person......"

Xiao Qingyi frowned, seeing that he couldn't let go of his heart and asked, "What else do you want to do for his family?" ”

Qiao Erjing lowered his head, he didn't want to do anything for their family, he just felt that they could help as much as they could

"Mother, Brother Jiang Feng is seriously injured, if you don't send it to the county seat to find an experienced doctor to see a doctor, the village doctor said that the person will be gone in the past two days, but it is too expensive to go to the county doctor, and it is said that it will cost three taels of silver, and the poor roof of the Niangjiang family has been lifted by the Jiao family now......"

Xiao Qing understood what he meant, and dared him to take the three taels of silver for the Jiang family.

If you think about it, you can also figure it out, although Qiao Erjing looks like he has a head and a brain, but he can't stand a few soft words from others, this must be because Du Shi saw their family eat white noodles and meat, and he was anxious to panic, after the pillars of the family fell, he didn't have any ability, thinking about pretending to be pitiful in Qiao Erjing, winning his sympathy, and letting him remember that he had saved their lives and helped their family.
