Early in the morning, Chu calmly woke up and felt very comfortable.

Last night was still a plank and an equally dilapidated house, but last night was the most comfortable night she slept on, thanks to the sticks.

When she was in another space, she had heard that someone planted cattails at home to repel mosquitoes, and she thought that everything could be lived, and it should be okay to burn it. So she tried to light a puff stick last night but it didn't work, and there were no mosquitoes to harass her all night. It seems that there is an opportunity to use it to produce mosquito coils, and the silver will not roll in......

Hey, hey, hey.

"Sister, what's the good thing like this? Aren't we going to accompany my mother back to Grandma's house?" Rokuro thought that his sister had thought of something to make money.

"Sister, there is a puff stick at the door, do you still want it?" Shichiro ran in with a puff stick.

Yes, why not, such a good thing. She wondered who would give her this thing?

Liu Xiaomiao is not at home, Niu Xiaohua will not hide it from herself, except for the two of them, she can't think of who is coming, it is impossible for her to have a secret admirer at such a young age......

Whatever, don't think about it if you can't think of it, it's just that the other party is willing to send it every day, and she doesn't mind using it every day.

It's morning school time for the twins again, I learned single digits yesterday, and today I started adding single digits. The two little butts are really smart, they quickly mastered it, and they also tested each other with questions. Ye Shi looked at them while packing up his things, his face full of relief.

"Girl, your father can talk more today and can be half-lying. It seems that you will be able to go to the ground in a few days, so remember to thank the friend who sent you ginseng. Ye's expression was joyful, changing yesterday's sad face. Chu Congrong told her that the ginseng was given by a friend, and the ginseng sent by her daughter's friend was indeed good.

Chu Congrong was drying starch in the cold, thinking that he had to send a few catties of so-called pearl rice to the local tyrant, otherwise he would be sorry for his ginseng.

"Your fourth uncle said that he would help you take care of these powders at home, and your father would take care of them for a day, and your mother and you would go early and return early, so you didn't have to spend the night there. Saburo went to the town to buy chickens as you said, and stopped by to see if there were any beds for sale. Ye told his daughter about the family arrangements one by one. His mother's home is in the nine bends of Dawang Village in the mountains, and he knows that the road is not easy to walk just by listening to the name.

Ye Shi looked at the packed gifts, his face was full of pride, how many women have such a rich gift when they go back to their parents' house? There were two gifts, each of which was a piece of cloth, two catties of rice, five catties of white flour, and one chicken. Not to mention that she also followed her daughter's advice and prepared 200 yuan for each of her three younger brothers.

The money was paid by her daughter, and she put her five taels on her own man to collect it.

The thing is not heavy, and it is completely effortless for the Ye family to pick it up. Chu Congrong and the twins walked and played, and from time to time they gave them a few questions to do, so they walked much faster than expected. After walking for more than an hour, the road became more and more curved, and the expression on Ye's face became more and more nervous.

Chu calmly thought to himself, is this homesickness?

Finally arrived at a village, almost all of which were dilapidated, and at first glance it was a poor mountain village. Ye Shi touched the front of a courtyard according to the impression in his mind, took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Dali, Erzhuang, are you at home?"

A woman in the room replied unhappily: "Which one is looking for Dali!" This is a strong man, Er Zhuang has already moved out! ”

Ye Shi was stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Big brother and sister, I'm the big sister!" ”

The woman in the room seemed to be stunned for a while before moving, and then came out to open the door after a while. When she first saw Ye's face, the expression on her face was not very good, and when she saw the gift she picked, her face immediately became happy, and she hurriedly reached out to receive the gift.

Ye did not unload the gift, first asked the children to call the eldest aunt, and she calmly asked where her mother and second brother were. The aunt pointed to a more low, dilapidated house in the distance, and said that the second and third brothers had moved over.

Ye didn't say a word, and led the children straight away. There seemed to be movement in the room, too, and an old woman walked to the door in a trembling manner, looking forward to it. Ye Shi stepped forward a few steps, picked up something and pounced directly.

"Mother-"

The old woman was stunned for a long time before she slowly exclaimed, "Big girl...... It's really you. ”

Ye hugged the old woman tightly and cried, nodding desperately.

A few people came out of the house, and the older man took Ye's things, and Ye came to his senses and asked the children to greet people.

The older one is the second uncle Ye Erzhuang, and the other young man is the third uncle Ye Sanjin, this name is that he was born with only three catties, and now he is also tall and big. Chu Congrong found out that his mother-in-law Ye is also very high, and it seems that the Ye family's genes are still good. Next is the second aunt Xiao Wu, the eldest cousin Ye Xiaodong, the second cousin Ye Xiaonan, the eldest cousin Ye Cao'er, and the little cousin Ye Hua'er. In the end, of course, it is the old tearful grandmother Wu.

Not only do Chu Congrong not know (can't remember), but even the twins don't know each other. But after all, they have the same blood, and soon the twins will play with the children. Chu Congrong accompanied his mother and listened to her chatting with the adults about family affairs.

After the death of his grandfather, the eldest uncle Ye Dali quickly separated himself, saying that he was the eldest son and had the big head, the house was new, and the land was four acres. The remaining three acres fell to Ye Erzhuang, but he had to take care of his mother Wu and his younger brother Ye Sanjin. Ye Erzhuang heard that the Ye family had broken up, but it happened that the Wu family was sick, and Ye Erzhuang sprained his leg again, so he didn't go for a long time, and he didn't expect the Ye family to come back to visit him instead.

Chu calmly watched from the side that his grandmother was indeed not in good spirits, and the second uncle was not walking naturally, so they didn't tell a lie. But the second aunt or third uncle is fine, and it's okay to go if you want to, and it is estimated that the biggest reason may be that there is no gift and I am embarrassed to go.

"Your second brother heard that his brother-in-law had an accident and wanted to go to the mountains to get something to make up for him, but he twisted his foot unexpectedly. A while ago, my mother's body couldn't be taken care of by someone. I wanted to let the third child send my mother over in two days, but you came back first. Wu wiped away the crying water and asked with concern: "You just broke up, and the man is injured again, why did you carry so many things back?" Do you have enough to eat at home?"

Ye Shi hurriedly said that it was enough, and explained that the things were earned by the family who went to the town to earn them, so they brought some back.

"Uncle and aunt are okay, are they very busy, and they don't see my father?"

Chu Congrong asked intentionally or unintentionally. Her moral standards are very simple, I will be good to whoever is good to me, there is revenge and revenge, stay away from the Holy.

"They ......" Ye Erzhuang shook his head, very speechless.

"I want them to see my brother-in-law, it's difficult!" Xiao Wu said angrily: "My mother was sick for more than ten days a while ago, and we couldn't open the pot at home, but they didn't even look at my mother, and they didn't get a single leaf." It's all about three catties and children, digging wild vegetables and digging fungi, and my mother followed us to eat something, and it was not easy to get through. ”

Thinking that he had to prepare a coffin for the old man at one time, the second aunt Xiao Wu also shed tears. She felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said that she would help everyone prepare food and go to work.

"When I sold it to the Chu family back then, I vigorously promised me to take good care of everyone, how could a good person become like this?"

Ye is very sad, his younger brother was very well-behaved when he was a child, and the relationship between the two was very good. When the family couldn't survive, she married into the Chu family in exchange for a few loads of coarse grain and a tael of silver. In fact, Du Pozi also took a fancy to her and didn't ask for too much bride price before agreeing, how could she spend a lot of money to marry Chu Youxian according to her character.

"It's not that Lian yet, and the triangular eyes are not good at first glance. The old man can still suppress her when he is alive, and the old man will be lawless when he is gone. The boss listens to her everything, and when she was a girl, even her own mother dared to beat and scold, and she was ruthless. "Wu has obviously suffered a lot of losses from her, and she gritted her teeth when she said it.

"Grandma, after a while, the weather will be cooler, ask the second uncle to send you to my house, let us be filial to you, and don't worry about those bad things." Chu calmly deliberately turned the topic to a lighter one, and there was no need to turn visiting relatives into a grievance meeting.

"Hehe, Wuya has filial piety, grandma is waiting." Wu smiled at Mimi: "Good baby, grandma's body is harder than you, I heard them say that you have just had a show." ”

"Grandma, don't listen to people's rumors, you see how good I am now! My mother always left the delicious food for me and Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi, how could I be sick. If a wild boar comes running, I'll be able to get a few of them back for you to eat!" ”

After Chu calmly gaged, the atmosphere was not so solemn, and Wu's mother and daughter chatted and chatted about the three-catty marriage. It is already difficult to marry in the mountains, and the family is so poor, how can anyone want to marry over.

Xiao Wu's ears were smart, and he ran over and interjected that there was a girl in Qidaowan who was willing to marry, but the family asked for four taels of silver. Ye hurriedly called Ye Sanjin over and asked what the situation was.

Ye Sanjin was a little shy, a person in his twenties was squirming when it came to marriage. It turned out that when he went hunting a few years earlier, he helped an injured old man, and it happened that the old man's children were looking for someone, so he met his daughter Li Chunhua, who was fourteen or fifteen years old at the time. After the old man's death, Li Chunhua did not keep three years of filial piety, but her mother also died, so she had to keep it for three years, and she kept her filial piety for more than five years. Daning women get married almost at the age of sixteen or seventeen, how many people will like the "old woman" of twenty?

"How's that girl?" Ye's most concerned is character, and it can be seen that she does have the potential to be a good mother and mother-in-law.

"I've heard your second brother and sister say that this girl is diligent." Wu said: "She almost always does the work in her brother's house, whether it is housework or field work. ”

"Such a good girl, can you take two or three taels? I thought about making up a little bit and adding enough to three catties. The Ye family was a little moved, but such a large amount of four taels was not something he could afford, and his son San Lang was also ready to say goodbye.

Wu sighed for a long time before he said: "The second child finally saved up almost two taels, and my mother is so sick, now it is less than one tael." If you want me to say that I will simply let me die, but the second and third children refuse, and they have to spend this unjust money to cure. It's hard......"

Would you rather choose to die yourself than save money for your son to marry a daughter-in-law?

Chu calmly didn't know whether it was better to cry or laugh on the side.

Ye Shi was teary-eyed, and found a reason to call his daughter out, wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak.

"Mother, you want to help the third uncle, right?"

Chu calmly looked at her embarrassed appearance and said directly.

Ye Shi nodded and said embarrassedly: "But your second and third uncles can only make up one or two at most, at least three taels." If we had helped him, there would have only been two taels left in the house. Your father seems to be much better, and there are still some ginseng mustaches, so he shouldn't want too much. My mother wanted to help my third uncle, but I didn't know how to help. ”

"The fourth uncle wants to say kiss at any time, and the third brother has also reached the age of saying kiss, it costs money, mother, you think about whether you want to help, is it worth helping." Three or four Chu can take it calmly, but she doesn't want her mother to become a demon who helps her brother.

"My mother has not had a penny for more than ten years, and she has never helped this family, they have raised your grandfather and grandmother for so long, and my mother really wants to help them, which is my mother's filial piety to my grandfather and grandmother. The mother plans to call San Lang and the fourth child to go to the town to find work after the autumn, and in half a year, the two should be able to find two or three taels, so that they will be used first when they meet the right marriage. You have a good brain, can you help your mother sum it up?"

Chu Congrong couldn't imagine her clumsy appearance, and she actually thought about it so much, it was really embarrassing for her.

Forget it, this girl should be soft-hearted. It is rare that the Ye family wants to help his younger brother and does not leave the little uncle behind. If she hadn't thought about the fourth uncle in her heart, Chu Congrong could be sure that she wouldn't make a move.

"Mother, you want to see that girl, to see if it is worth helping, in case there is another aunt like that? Then he told the third uncle that he would let them work to pay off their debts, and how much they could repay, and the fourth uncle and the third brother were married and waited for the money. In case they don't have enough money when they want to get married, do you feel good about it? Dig out your heart and lungs for your younger brother, and when it's the turn of the fourth uncle and the third brother, you can't bear it?"

Chu calmly analyzed them one by one, Ye Shi was a little confused when she heard it, and said in a begging tone: "Girl, you understand what you said, but your mother is very stupid, so I'm afraid that I won't make everyone unhappy if I don't say it, why don't you help my mother say it?"

Your sister, who is the mother?
