84 days are hard
Chen Dou and Chen Tong didn't say anything, this was given to their father by the third sister.
"Third sister, are we still going up the mountain today?" Chen Tong asked.
Chen Miao shook his head: "No, I'm not going." I went to the market to sell a donkey. Chen Tong is disappointed, there must be a lot of people going up the mountain today, and they still want to pick red and sour dates in the mountains. He was still afraid of Chen Miao, and he really didn't dare to grind, and the third sister wouldn't go for a while to find the second egg, and it would be much safer for them to go together.
Chen Miao didn't leave them either, and was in a hurry to eat and go to the market.
When Chen Tong went home, he told his father and mother that the third sister wanted to sell donkeys. The husband and wife glanced at each other. "Old Five, you go and call your three brothers over." Chen Dongsheng instructed his old son.
Chen Tong's eyes rolled around, and he immediately knew what his father and mother meant, and he was a little reluctant, and he thought about going to find them, but he didn't dare to refute his father, so he ran to call someone.
Chen Miao cuts pickles. The life of the countrymen is porridge and pickles in the morning and evening.
After a while, the three brothers came in. I don't know what's going on, and I didn't ask the fifth child for anything.
"The third girl wants to sell donkeys, what do you three think?"
The family has just been separated this year, and the money for the three brothers to build a house has been spent, and there is nothing left in their hands, the grain has not been sold, and there is no money in their hands. Who doesn't want a donkey?
"Dad, I want it, but I don't have any money in my hand." Chen Shan said a little embarrassed.
"Dad, I want it too."
The second and third said together.
Chen Dongsheng also knew that his sons had no money in their hands. The two little donkeys in the third daughter's family are very good, and it is a pity to sell them to others when they are dry, and the sons still need livestock to live.
"Think of a way, your mother and I have no money in our hands, if the little donkey can be bought, it will save effort and the harvest will be more."
The three daughters-in-law were very dissatisfied, who could not want to raise livestock, there were several people in the family, but there were not many people who could be counted as strong laborers, they all ate with their mouths open, and if there were livestock, they would not work like animals.
The in-laws just said that, let them figure it out? Where to figure it out? Building a house is all the money secretly left over the years, and there is food left in hand.
Yang Yuemei held her breath, "Dad, I'll go find the third girl." "After that, he left.
The other two concubines also knew what the sister-in-law was thinking. They were all very excited, and they went out together.
Chen Miao's mother and son all packed up, put on their coats for the two children, and prepared to go to the market.
When she opened the door and saw three sisters-in-law, Chen Miao didn't have any feelings for them. I don't have any memories of the past, and I don't remember how good or bad they got along, but as far as the character of these three people is concerned, it is estimated that they will not be close.
"Three girls, are you going to sell donkeys?"
Chen Miao nodded, "Yes, my family can't use it, and besides, I will serve this winter and eat a lot." I don't have much land, so I can't afford to feed it. ”
I know what they're doing here. Actually, it's okay to sell it to them. Life is not easy, it is not easy for people to live, and this is also the reason why these women are careful.
Yang Yuemei was afraid that the two concubines would say first, so she rushed to speak, "Three girls, sell them to us, this has just been separated, and we have nothing." If there are livestock, you can open up more land. ”
Zhao Erya and Zhang Yanhong also looked at Chen Miao eagerly.
"Sister-in-law, I will prepare five yuan for milk and one yuan for the car for this donkey, if you want it, it will be such money."
"Six yuan, three girls, I don't have any money now, I'll give you some food this year, and I'll give you food next year."
Yang Yuemei was careful. The food is good, and the savings are sold in the town.
The shops that collect grain are very picky, and they all have to be good. There are no good things left in the family to pick and choose, so you don't have to do that for Chen Miao.
Chen Miao shook his head. "Sister-in-law. You give me two years and three yuan a year, but I don't want food, three acres of land is enough for our mother to eat, and we can't use food. Or give me money, life is not stable, money is easy to hide. ”
Yang Yuemei was not very happy to hear it, but it was okay to give it in two years. It's three yuan, and I want to sell half of the food at home, thinking that it hurts.
"Third girl, I want it too, you lend me a donkey cart, and your second brother and I will go to the town to sell grain, and come back to give you money." Zhang Yanhong hurriedly said.
"I want it too."
Chen Miao sighed in his heart, if he really let them go to the town to sell grain, what happened, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life.
"Three girls, I'll say it first, you want to take care of me."
"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, sister-in-law said first, why should there be first come, first come."
After hearing this, Yang Yuemei felt quite convinced. "Chen Miao, we will start rubbing corn today, and we will go to the town to sell it in five days."
Chen Miao nodded, "Okay." "I still don't tell her that I don't need to sell grain in the town. That way she wouldn't fool herself around and wait until they were all cleaned up.
Zhang Yanhong and Zhao Erya were very dissatisfied. Why didn't you say it first and let Yang Yuemei take the lead? This little donkey is hers?
It's not that you can't go to the livestock market to sell it, but the price is not easy to say, people must ask for money, and they can't give it in two years. Even if the food at home is sold, it can be sold for five yuan.
Yang Yuemei was happy. "Three girls, you said that if you sell the meat, you can sell it for two yuan, right?"
Chen Miao shook her head, "Sister-in-law, I don't know either." ”
Yang Yuemei once again asked uneasily, "Three girls, let's talk about it." ”
Chen Miao nodded, "Okay." ”
In this way, Yang Yuemei left satisfied, and the remaining two concubines did not move. "Three girls, we also want little donkeys."
"Let's go to the big market."
The two of them want to talk and stop, who doesn't know how to go to the livestock market to buy? Isn't that no money in hand?
The two of them put down their faces and left without saying anything.
Chen Miaocai didn't care what they thought, since they didn't go to sell donkeys, they would go to the market, and since they promised the children to play, they would definitely go, and let the two children go to see the excitement.
Locked the door and set off with two children on his back. There are a lot of people who go to the market this season, and today it happened that Shen Wufu was in a hurry.
"What are you doing at Xiaofeng's family?"
"Fifth uncle, there's nothing wrong now, I'll go to the big set to have a look."
"Get in the car, I'll go to the market too."
Chen Miao shook her head, there were already five women sitting in the car, "Fifth uncle, I'm fine, go slowly." One by one, he called a few women in the car.
Shen Wufu sighed in his heart. Chen Miao, this girl is really sensible.
"Okay, let's go, then."
The donkey cart drove out for a long time, and a few old ladies on the cart talked about Chen Miao. It's all some gossip, but no one says bad things about her, although they are all illiterate women who live a trivial life all day long, but they still know how to repay their kindness, and it is a fact that they saved the life of the big guy.
Chen Miao and her two sons laughed quietly, and the two villains seemed to know what it meant to go out to play.
