"Sister-in-law Du, look at it, this is forty-one catties, if you remove the bamboo basket, it will be almost forty catties!"

Zhou's Qingli words brought the shocked Niang San back to her senses, she pointed to the number of catties on it and handed it to Du Shi.

Du Shi didn't know how many catties, she had already weighed it before she came, she just had a cold jaw, and she didn't know how to speak.

All kinds of things in Lao Qiao's family made her shocked and surprised, look at what kind of life others live, what do you live?

She was beaten half to death when she was a person who had no ability, and she didn't even have a place to reason, and the children in the family were counting on her to live, and the days ahead became more and more difficult.

Lao Qiao's family was much poorer than her family before, and the poorest and most dilapidated family in the village was them, but now they have changed!

Du Shi asked in a slightly disappointed voice: "Okay, then you can see how much money you have?" ”

Zhou said: "Sister-in-law, our family and the county town are parity, two cents a catty, and you have forty catties here, which is almost eighty cents!" You can go to my mother's place now to get the money! ”

"Eighty wen? Is there really eighty texts? Du Shi asked with a look of surprise and disappointment.

Zhou nodded: "Yes, yes, forty catties of dried dogwood, two pennies a catty, a total of eighty wenties should be given to you!" ”

She's right, that's all there was to her mother's house yesterday.

Du Shi laughed happily, she came to Xiao Qing in two steps, and saw that Xiao Shi was counting copper plates with a money bag, and there was silver and copper plates in his hand, the money bag was bulging, and there was a lot of money at a glance.

She walked up to Xiao Qing and suddenly became a little nervous, as if she had never seen so much money.

"Auntie, eighty ......," she said.

Xiao Qing handed her the counted money: "You count, is there less to give!" ”

Du Shi took the money and counted it carefully, counting them one by one, for fear that Xiao Qing would not give enough, but she counted it three times, and it was not bad.

She turned around and said with a smile: "Auntie, it's penniless, that auntie, you rest, I'll go first, and I'll bring it to you when the dried dogwood fruits at home are being cleaned." ”

Xiao Qing hummed, his expression still faint.

Du Shi took the money, and the bamboo basket forgot to take it away, but Zhou reminded her, and she turned it back to take it.

Da Xing Erxing followed behind Du Shi and followed Du Shi's footsteps.

After Du Shi left Lao Qiao's house, he touched the money in his pocket, and he was overwhelmed with joy, he could go to the county town tomorrow to get medicine for Jiang Feng, and the family could buy some food to eat.

Thinking that there are still a lot of dried dogwoods at home, he told Daxing Erxing on the way: "You remember, don't say it in the village, otherwise Grandma Xiaocheng has collected enough dogwood, so she won't want our family, and our dogwood won't be able to sell at that time!" ”

The big line and the second line responded well.

After the others left, Zhou said with a smile: "I knew that my mother would be soft-hearted, didn't she say that she would give them a penny and a catty, or a penny and a penny?" My mother still gave them two pennies a pound. ”

Xiao Qing looked at Du's back, this old man was poisonous, but after all, her family had saved the Second Classic, it was a life-saving thing, money couldn't buy it, she didn't look at Du's face, how much she had to look at the kindness of the child in Sanxing.

In the evening, when the old Qiao family was eating with laughter, Xiao Qing thought about tomorrow morning.

"Erjing, I grinded more than forty catties of dogwood noodles today, and you will send it to the guest restaurant early tomorrow morning!" Xiao Qing said.

Qiao Erjing responded, thinking of what happened during the day: "Mother, in the future, if you ask me to send it to whomever family, I will send it to whomever family, I won't ask more!" As long as my mother asks me to send it to whom, I will listen to my mother! ”

Xiao Qing nodded, hmm.

It's just that the family is eating a hot meal, but they don't know that at this time, the village has gathered a few people and is rushing to Lao Qiao's house.

After eating, Qin was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and Zhou put on the clothes he had made during the day and put them on to a few children by candlelight to see the size.

Xiao Qing walked outside to eliminate food, her weight has dropped again in the past few days, exercise more, control her diet reasonably, and her weight has fallen quickly, but this is also her large base, almost two hundred catties before, and now it should only be about one hundred and eighty catties.

She still needs to persevere, just persevere, walk nearly 20,000 steps a day, and within a year, her weight will definitely return to about 100 catties.

Xiao Qing turned back from the back of the house, and saw that there was a glowing candle at the entrance of the village walking towards the entrance of the village, she stopped and stood to look, it seemed that there was more than one person.

She has come through these days, she has never seen anyone in the village come out at night, I heard the Zhou family and the Qin family say that they often have monsters here at night, with human faces and beast bodies, and someone in the nearby village was captured before and never came back.

So at night, every house here closes their doors and goes to bed with the lights out.

Xiao Qing carefully watched the direction in which the flames were moving, and when they reached the entrance of the village, they seemed to be coming towards their house.

When the others walked to the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Qing walked over.

"Is it my sister-in-law who is standing?" The old man asked.

Xiao Qing knew who it was as soon as he heard this, Jiao Lizheng!

On this big night, why don't you rest at home, what are you doing running to her house?

"yes, is it Jiao Lizheng? What are you guys doing when you're not at home at night? Xiao Qing asked loudly.

Jiao Lizheng didn't respond, and walked in front of Xiao Qing with a few people.

Now Xiao Qing saw that the people were coming, among the four or five people, except for Jiao Lizheng, all of them were young people, and it was obvious that the people who came were not good, and they were looking for trouble.

Xiao Qing looked at a few people, these people usually have a good relationship with Jiao Yan, and now they are menacing, and they are coming to take revenge!

"Jiao Lizheng, what's the matter, you want to find the door at night?" Xiao Qing asked directly.

The two of them had nothing to do with each other, and they weren't so good that they had to wait until the night to risk running out.

Jiao Li was smiling, his smile flashed with a hint of sinisterness, he said: "It's a little bit sister-in-law, it's inconvenient to enter your house at night, so let's just stand here and talk!" ”

It's better not to go into the house, the children are sleeping, and it's not okay to be woken up by this group of people.

Xiao Qing turned his back and squinted at him, waiting for him to speak.

Jiao Lizheng's original name was Jiao Tong, nearly half a hundred years old, I don't know if it's because of his age, or because he is timid, he has become more and more profitable and avoids weight in his work over the years, and he doesn't have the slightest appearance of doing things.

The villagers' complaints about Jiao Lizheng are getting bigger and bigger, not doing things and being partial, disappointing again and again, Jiao Lizheng is not as old as Qiao Yumin, and he still has to call Xiao Qing a sister-in-law when he meets.

So Xiao Qing didn't need to be polite to him.

"Then just stand here and say, I'll listen!" Xiao Qing said coldly.

Jiao Tong asked the young man next to him to bring the lantern closer, and sighed with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I saw Lao Qiao's family outside during the day that he was planning to build a house?" ”

Xiao Qing glanced at his eyes, and immediately understood his intention, she raised her eyebrows: "Yes, Lizheng, more than a dozen people in my family are crowded in these two thatched huts every day, you haven't heard what the people in the village say, I just want to change a few big houses, so that the children can avoid the cold!" ”
