"How much does your grandmother Xiao give to Zhou's mother's family?" Duch asked.

Daxing thought for a while: "Xiaocheng said, it seems to be two pennies a catty!" ”

"What, two pennies?" Du Shi covered his mouth in shock: "My God, two pennies a pound?" How much money did Fat Xiao make? What a waste of money! The dogwood dried fruits rotting all over the mountains and no one looked at them, and she received two pennies a pound? is really a woman who can't live, and she wasted money in vain! ”

"Mother, we have a lot of dogwoods, should we sell them to Grandma Xiao?" Daxing asked.

Du Shi did not hesitate at all and said: "Give, why don't you give?" Two pennies a pound, a fool won't sell it to her, if anyone can grind it into flour to make money, it won't be her turn to be a fat man, Lao Qiao's family must have something strange with dogwood noodles! ”

"Okay, mother, I'll help you move the dogwood noodles to Grandma Xiao's house." Daxing said excitedly.

"Slow, remember to weigh it and send it again, lest the fat man be short of two pounds and less of our money!" Duch said.

Daxing smiled and responded, thinking of the dogwood in their house, there are more than 100 catties, the dried dogwood accumulated over the years, every day when he is hungry and has nothing to eat, he can only eat this, he can exchange this disgusting thing for money, this is a great thing, and he can exchange some millet and sorghum when the time comes, he is happy to think about it.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, Du Shi came with a large line of dogwood noodles carrying a few bamboo baskets.

Xiao Qing just woke up, sat in the courtyard and came back to his senses, and when he saw Du Shi coming with Daxing and Erxing, his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

This old thing, last time she instigated Erjing to give her money, she hasn't settled accounts with her, what do you want to do this time?

As soon as Du Shi entered the hospital, the smile on her face couldn't hide her glances around: "Is the eldest lady sitting?" ”

Xiao Qing sneered, nonsense!

After looking around, his eyes were shocked everywhere he went.

I remember standing outside at the gate of the courtyard in the morning, I saw the cured meat hanging in her house, one by one, all kinds of strip-shaped meat hung with bamboo poles, where did they go?

When she walked up to Xiao Qing, the smile on her face froze for a moment.

I saw it, she saw it, the meat in the yard, chicken, pork, and rabbit meat, hanging on bamboo poles, one by one, neatly stacked, so many pork, chicken and rabbit meat, there are always more than a dozen, eat every day with different tastes, and you can't eat it for half a month, how much should it cost to buy!

How much money did this dead fat man make, and he could buy so much meat! Why don't you buy food, waste money!

When she saw so much meat, she couldn't help but swallow and swallow.

Da Xing and Er Xing also saw it, their eyes straightened, and the two of them stood in the middle of the courtyard in a daze, their eyes were round, and they swallowed and swallowed their saliva, the smell of meat mixed with salt, and was gently blown by the wind, as if they entered their mouths, and the intestines in their stomachs were swirling a few knots.

"That's a lot of meat, chicken, rabbit, and fragrant pork......" Daxing stared closely.

"Auntie, your family bought so much meat!" Du Shi's longing throat almost stretched out a hand, and he wanted to take a bite and taste it, but he always felt that it was fake.

Xiao Qing saw that their mother's eyes were stuck to the cured meat, so he almost took a few bites of his mouth to taste it.

She cleared her throat and asked flatly, "Daxing Niang, what's the matter with the girls?" ”

Du Shi came back to his senses, and said with a smile on his face: "Big, Auntie, yes, that's the case, I heard that Auntie's family collects dogwood, so I thought that my family has dried dogwood on Yao Mountain, so I specially sent some to you." ”

Xiao Qing didn't give her a smile, but after looking at the bamboo basket in front of Daxing and Erxing's feet, the color of the dogwood was indeed like the dogwood on Yao Mountain.

She put her hand on the small table and said in a lazy tone: "Yes, my family is a dogwood, how much do you bring?" ”

Du Shi asked Da Xing and Er Xing to send the dogwood of the two bamboo baskets to Xiao Qing: "Auntie, I weighed it at home, these two bamboo baskets are about forty catties, if the aunt doesn't believe it, you can go to the village to weigh it." ”

Xiao Qing smiled and said to Zhou, who was sitting at the door of the house and sewing clothes: "Xiao Chengniang, take out the scale, weigh your sister-in-law dogwood, and let Yuanyuan Niang also come out and weigh it together." ”

Said she bought it from the system mall, and she didn't recognize the name here, or she could tell the big name of the family when she was a child.

What? Their family even has a name, isn't it about as rich as the Jiao family?

Du Shi looked in a trance, she felt that she had gone to the wrong door, is this still Lao Qiao's family?

"Here comes Mother!" Zhou put down the work in his hand and walked out with a smile.

Du's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the cloth in Zhou's hand, his eyes lit up again: "Xiao, Xiao Chengniang, is the cloth in your hand a silk cloth?" ”

The cloth was bright and smooth, soft and comfortable to the touch, and I heard that literati could still write and paint on it, and the cloth was expensive, and one or two silver could not buy a horse.

Zhou replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law Du is so far away and can see that the eyesight is really good, it is silk cloth, this day is getting colder and colder, my mother went to the county a few days ago to pull a silk cloth, let me hurry to make clothes for the garden flower son water mandarin, thinking that winter is coming, wronged adults, don't freeze to the child." ”

Silk cloth? It's really silk cloth, and a horse costs more than one or two pieces of silver!

Lao Qiao's family started to use silk cloth to make clothes for their daughters?

She is almost blind, the life of this old Qiao family is too bad, she is about to catch up with the food and clothing of the big families in the city, and the daughter of the Jiao family is not so particular about wearing it, Lao Qiao's family looks at the broken grass house and the broken grass shed outside, but any thing in the house is made of silver!

What kind of wealth did this Xiao Shi make!

Du Shi looked at the clothes on his body, and the clothes on the two lines of Daxing, patch after patch, burlap, and straw shoes......

Straw shoes?

Only then did she notice when Lao Qiao's family wore linen and cloth shoes!

Du Shi was shocked for more than ten years, and all the shocks were completed in front of Lao Qiao's family in one afternoon, his mouth opened and opened, and his eyes were round and round, only she couldn't think of it, there was nothing that Lao Qiao's family couldn't use.

They are village women in mountain villages, and it is a waste to wear shoes and silk cloth, but they are doing farm work!

What a waste of cloth shoes?

Shaw and Zhou put on cloth shoes? This kind of cloth shoes are sold in the county town for five or six dollars a pair of silver!

She quickly glanced at the feet of everyone in Lao Qiao's house, almost everyone had a pair of cloth shoes, adults were adults, and children were children!

Du Shi couldn't help but exclaim: "My God! Auntie, your family's food and clothing are almost the same as those of the Jiao family, no, they are more particular than the Jiao family! ”

When I came to their house a few days ago, they were still coarse linen clothes and broken straw shoes, why didn't they see each other for a few days, built a house, wore silk cloth, wore cloth shoes, ate chicken and meat, white rice and white noodles, what did Lao Qiao's family experience?

It is those dried fruits and winter dates on the mountain that can be eaten and clothed on a par with the Jiao family.

Her jaw dropped and her mouth couldn't close.
