Chapter Forty-Eight: Returning to My Mother's Home

When they came to the place where Xu Shaohua sold firewood.

From a distance, Su Xiao'e saw Xu Shaohua squatting next to the cart, smoking a cigarette in his hand, frowning, looking at the firewood that had not been touched in the slightest.

"Dad—"

Xu Xiaowan shouted, and then pulled Su Xiao'e over.

When the two of them walked in, they saw Xu Shaohua standing next to the cart and said with a sigh:

"Now that the year is not good, everyone has come out to sell firewood."

Su Xiao'e looked at the rows of people selling firewood around her, and knew that this firewood was not as good as before.

She came to Xu Shaohua and handed the bought buns to Xu Shaohua.

"Dad, you're worried, let's eat steamed buns first."

Xu Shaohua took the bun and took one, and handed the rest to Su Xiao'e and the others.

"You eat too."

Xu Xiaowan hurriedly waved her hand and said:

"Dad, we've eaten it, and I bought it for you."

The market here is in the morning, and in the afternoon, there are basically no people, but many people still insist on putting them on display so that they can sell their belongings.

Su Xiao'e saw that there were basically no people coming, so she beckoned Xu Shaohua to go home.

"Dad, let's go back first, if you can't sell this firewood, just go back and stay at home to burn it."

Xu Shaohua frowned and said:

"That being said, but now that there is a big drought, there is less prey in the mountains, and there is a lot less game during the construction period, and even me, no one comes to call for work."

"Dad, don't worry, I'm not trying to figure out a way, I went to the fertilizer factory in our county today, if today's matter is negotiated, it is estimated that I can make a sum of money, although it is not much, but it should not be a problem to maintain the family's expenses."

Xu Shaohua heard Su Xiao'e say this, and he didn't ask what was going on in this bazaar, but just urged Su Xiao'e to go home.

If this money-making business is heard by others, it is necessary to turn back and someone will fight for it.

Xu Shaohua thought about it, and the firewood was no longer sold, so he directly pushed a cart of firewood to rush home.

When she got home, before Su Xiao'e could say anything, Xu Shaohua closed the door, and then called Zhang Qinfen over, and then asked Su Xiao'e:

"Xiao'e, what kind of livelihood are you talking about today?"

Before Su Xiao'e could speak, Xu Xiaowan next to her said to the curious Xu Shaohua and his wife on the side:

"Mom and Dad, don't you know, my sister-in-law actually asked the leader of the fertilizer factory and said that she would wrap the winter clothes of the fertilizer factory to make them."

When Zhang Qinfen next to her heard this, she immediately asked Su Xiao'e in surprise:

"Xiao'e, wrap so many clothes, are we done? There are thousands of workers in the fertilizer factory. ”

Su Xiao'e couldn't help but laugh when she heard Zhang Qinfen's words.

"Mom, don't worry, we don't need to make these clothes ourselves, it's not a bad year now, when the time comes, we will bring the clothes back, just wrap them for the women in the village who have time."

"But how much money can you make from this?"

"As long as we buy more, we will be able to get a lot of money for cotton, buttons, needles and threads."

"So what can we do for you?"

"Mom, you don't need to help with anything, this matter is not yet finalized."

Su Xiao'e said, just as the door was opened, Xu Jianshe came back with a rabbit in his hand.

As soon as I walked in, I saw several people in the family standing in the courtyard as if discussing something.

Su Xiao'e thought of the money she was going to get today, and felt that it would be better to send it back to her brother's house as soon as possible.

Thinking so, Su Xiao'e said to Xu Jianjian:

"Construction, if you're okay in a while, accompany me back to my parents' house."

Xu Jianshe just wanted to answer, but Zhang Qinfen next to him directly answered.

"Where will there be anything going on, the prey in this mountain is not easy to fight recently, so many people in the family are idle, let him accompany you back, by the way, don't go back empty-handed, just bring back the prey from the construction, and give your niece Huniu a taste."

"Mom, this rabbit still has to be sold for money."

"What's the money to sell, the tiger girl is growing her body, so you can't eat something good."

Zhang Qinfen said, and went to the backyard, picked up a basket of eggs and handed it to Xu Jianjian.

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

Before Su Xiao'e could say anything, she was pushed out the door by Zhang Qinfen.

Along the way, Su Xiao'e told Xu Jianshe about finding Minister Zhang of the fertilizer factory today.

Xu Jianshe has never liked to talk, and after listening to what Su Xiao'e said, he didn't express any opinions, but just kept nodding his head, indicating that he was listening.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a group of people gathered at the door of my house.

"Why are there so many people at my doorstep?"

Su Xiao'e muttered, and then walked ahead in confusion.

Xu Jianshe was afraid that something would happen, and stood next to Su Xiao'e like a protector, clinging to him step by step.

"Hey,, didn't I just come to my grandson's house, and I didn't want to eat their rice, but I didn't open the door, my old woman knocked on the door for a day, but no one opened it, you say, are there such unfilial descendants?"

"Auntie, I said you don't make trouble, what if Da Yong and his family are not at home, isn't this a joke for everyone to see?"

Someone next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to pull up Cui Xiulan, who was sitting on the ground crying and shouting, but in the next second, Cui Xiulan opened her hand.

"Go and go, what two people are not at home, I came at seven o'clock in the morning, I made sure they didn't go out, and now they are afraid that I will eat their rice, so the two of them hide in the house and don't open the door."

"Came to block the door so early, I don't know, I thought my grandmother came to my grandson to ask for an account." The person next to him couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh when he heard it.

Cui Xiulan is not afraid of other people's jokes, these things are better for everyone to know, whether it is due to the pressure of public opinion or what, you must not invite yourself into the house properly, as long as you enter the house, then take two rabbits or something, it will be simple.

Cui Xiulan thinks about Meizizi, but the person concerned doesn't think so.

Xu Jianshe pushed through the crowd and walked up by himself.

He looked at Cui Xiulan, who was sitting on the ground and kept hitting his thigh, his brows furrowed tightly.

At this time, Su Xiao'e also walked up, saw Xu Jianshe standing next to him, quietly put his hand in his hand, and whispered:

"This is my grandmother, when my parents died when I was young, they threw me and my brother in the mountains to fend for themselves, but fortunately, we lived a big life and came back to life."

After Su Xiao'e finished saying this, she turned her head to Cui Xiulan and said politely:

"Grandma, you came to my brother's house early in the morning to watch the door, thank you for your hard work, but my brother and sister-in-law's house are very poor, and even thieves are not happy to patronize them."

As soon as these words came out, they instantly caused everyone present to burst into laughter.
