Chapter 54: Falling into the Wilderness
The kitchen is not small, there is an earthen stove, a cupboard, three briquette stoves of different sizes, two wooden buckets, and a small square table, but the kitchen is a little crowded.
There is also a plate of fried chili stir-fried meat on the small square table at the moment, as well as steaming tomato and egg soup.
The fish is still stewed in the small pot of the earthen stove, and the smell of the fish is fragrant.
There is fish and meat, and this dish is really good.
But they look very dazzling, and feel particularly heart-piercing, what about the poor who say good? The food was better than theirs.
But it was also full of color and fragrance, which made Xiao Jianhua's stomach sing about the empty city plan.
"Dad, Auntie, sit down." Xiao Fang brought in two stools from outside, warmly beckoned them to sit down, and found two enamel cups and poured them two cups of tea.
Xiao Jianhua was also afraid that Wu Julan and them would come in, so he stared at her with a calm face and began to deceive: "Xiao Hong, how can you bring out the gold and silver at home without distinguishing between inside and outside?" ”
Xiao Hong rolled her eyes, very angry: "Dad, are you sick?" What gold and silver can we have? ”
"It is said that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, when I am in the Xiao family, can I get a penny from you?"
After speaking, he patted his head again, looked at Liu Meijuan with ill intentions and said, "I said it wrong, when I left before, you did give me a hundred yuan." ”
Xiao Jianhua looked at her expression, as well as the attitude of speaking, there was indeed no weakness, which made him start to wonder if he was thinking too much.
"What?" Liu Meijuan gasped and looked at him in disbelief: "Why did you give her so much money?" ”
Xiao Hong obviously wanted to provoke the relationship between them, and was afraid that they wouldn't be able to quarrel, so she hurriedly added: "Not only gave me a hundred yuan, but also gave Xiao Fang a hundred yuan, what's the matter, you dare to have an opinion?" ”
"No, you're father and daughter, that's as it should be." Liu Meijuan must have an opinion in her heart, but she doesn't dare to mess with him outside, if she is beaten by Xiao Jianhua in front of Wu Julan, it will be as embarrassing as being stripped of her skin.
She pointed to the things that the two of them brought: "Your father has been thinking about you, and he specially bought some food to see you." ”
sighed again: "Our family is going to build a house now, the family is short of money, you are doing well now, why don't you lend it to us and embezzle it first?" No matter how much, it's your heart, isn't it? ”
Xiao Hongdu admired Liu Meijuan's ability to bend and stretch, to cry poorly, and to borrow money from herself.
But the fool also knows that if this money is lent out, it will be a meat bun beating a dog and there will be no return.
But she will cry poorly.
She pointed to the clothes on her body: "The money has already been spent, we have to go to high school, we can't wear too sloppy." ”
Liu Meijuan looked at the new clothes and new pull-back shoes on their sisters, and her angry faces were distorted.
At this time, Wu Julan, who was not at ease, also walked in quickly, looked at them and said angrily: "What are you doing here?" ”
"Don't play dumb for me." Xiao Jianhua got up abruptly and walked to her side, holding back his anger and squeezing out a smile: "Now that the gold is in your hands, I don't want to take it all back, but don't be too greedy, let's take it half, okay!" ”
But Wu Julan really didn't know about gold, and said angrily: "You are crazy, what nonsense? ”
"Don't even think about quibbling." Xiao Jianhua thinks he has insight into everything: "If you didn't take my things, how could you have money to do business?" ”
He himself drives a tractor, often helps others transport goods, and has heard people talk about making money in business now.
But doing business also requires capital.
Even if many people have that idea, when they think of the high capital, they are worried that they will lose money in business and owe a lot of debt.
He was thinking that the dumpling shop they opened, from rent to decoration, would cost at least about 500 yuan.
But according to what he knew before, Wu Julan and their lives were only enough to feed and wear.
If you can open a store now, you must have stolen your own gold as capital.
Fortunately, Xiao Hong was prepared: "Dad, you misunderstood, I saved a drowning man two months ago, and they lent us money, and the rent hasn't been paid yet?" ”
"How is that possible?" Xiao Jianhua looked at her in disbelief: "You must have lied to me, right?" Who would be so generous? Borrowing a house and borrowing money? ”
Xiao Hong pretended to be shy: "You go out to inquire, Xu Xinning is the son of the director of the towel factory, and his life is expensive?" What is this money? ”
After speaking, he looked at Wu Julan and said, "Mom, you go and show him the IOU, so that they don't think nonsense." ”
This statement has been said for a long time.
But it was not to guard against them, but to worry that Uncle Zhao's parents and brothers wanted to take the opportunity to borrow money.
Who would have thought that it would be Xiao Jianhua and his wife who would use it first?
Wu Julan pulled her face and went upstairs, and soon came down with an IOU, which clearly stated that she owed Xu Xinning a thousand yuan.
This IOU is real, but it is borrowed to buy a house.
After Xiao Jianhua saw it, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he secretly spit in his heart that they slapped their swollen faces and became fat, but the doubts in their hearts were dispelled.
At this time, Zhao Laosi also walked in and smiled politely at them: "Rare guest, stay and have lunch together, right?" ”
Xiao Jianhua really didn't like him.
Even if he and Wu Julan divorced, in his heart, Wu Julan was still his wife, so he should guard it for himself.
Who would have thought that Wu Julan would be willing to marry in the mountains?
He pulled his face and got up: "No need, I'm just here to see if Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang are doing well." ”
Then he looked at his two daughters with a gentle and loving face: "When a new house is built, I will leave a room for you, and Dad will wait for you at home, and you will buy whatever you want when the time comes." ”
Anyway, it's just empty words, and he says it very beautifully.
Xiao Hong didn't want to look at him like this, and smiled a little thief: "Dad, it's getting colder and colder, my sister and I want to buy a coat and thicker pants, why don't we buy them now?" ”
Xiao Fang also nodded cooperatively: "These days, we have good food, we have all grown a little, and last year's clothes and pants were short." ”
When Liu Meijuan heard this, her whole person was not good, and her face was so green that she had to fight the color of a green loofah.
She wanted to ask for money, not to be a good money boy.
She was anxious and wise: "Jianhua, we have to go back quickly, it will be troublesome if we can't catch the car later." ”
Xiao Jianhua is worthy of being a husband and wife with her for many years, and instantly understood what she meant, and nodded very cooperatively: "Yes, I still have to help people transport stones, and people are waiting to lay the foundation." ”
After speaking, he looked at the two pretty daughters apologetically: "It's really too late today, or you will go home and live for a few days when you have a holiday, and I will definitely buy it for you when the time comes." ”
