He Zao and when they came back from the mountain, they found that the atmosphere in the house was not right, and He Xia'er was looking out at the door.

She is an invisible person in the He family, rarely talking to people, but she is very kind-hearted.

Even if there is not much contact, He Zao has a good impression of her.

Seeing them, He Xia'er trotted over, her face was red from the sun, and she hurried slightly: "You shouldn't go in first, let me tell you, the eldest brother and the second brother have come back from the town together." ”

"What's wrong, second sister, what's the matter?" He Zao asked puzzled.

He Xia'er waved her hand and looked at He Zao: "Zao'er, did you go to the town to sell scorpions and honeysuckle before?" The eldest brother and the second brother came back from town and said that you had sold more than three or four taels of silver. The grandmother was very angry, and the third aunt was standing in the house. ”

He Zao's heart chuckled, and he hurriedly asked, "Then did my mother say how much did we sell?" ”

The others looked nervous, too.

He Xia'er was embarrassed, paused, and whispered: "Zao'er, why did I hear that the second aunt said that you sold no less than ten taels of silver in total?" Is there really a lot of it? ”

He Zao suddenly felt that he was holding a breath in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down.

She told her that she must not tell the money she earned in the upper room, and after a while, the Chen family fell clean.

He Chun'er and Sibao both frowned: "Zao'er, what should I do?" ”

He Zao asked He Xia'er: "Is our master in the house?" ”

He Xia'er nodded and whispered: "The master has just come back, and the third uncle hasn't come back yet, and the master said that he will come back after hoeing the last handful of grass." ”

"Didn't you just promise to send me and my fourth brother to the school yesterday, we earned this money ourselves, and we spent it ourselves?"

Although Qibao people are small, they also understand the meaning of Old Man He yesterday.

He Zao smiled bitterly, if this matter was only known to the people of the He family after the autumn harvest, then no one would leave, but now, Sibao and Qibao did not go to school, and they did not divide the family, ten taels is a lot of money, how do you think that the He family will not allow it to fall into the hands of their children.

"Yes, I did." Sibao also nodded slowly, and moved his gaze to He Zao: "Zao'er, do you think that the master will really ask for the money to leave?" ”

He Zao shook his head: "Fourth brother, don't forget, before our master speaks, my grandmother and sister-in-law will definitely use this as an excuse." ”

"Xia'er, where did you die, come and choose the dishes, at noon, can you cook?"

Ma's loud voice came from the courtyard.

He Xia'er looked apologetic: "Chun'er, early, I have to go, my mother called me for a long time......"

She was afraid that He Zao would enter the house without warning, so she waited outside under the pressure of being scolded, and she couldn't stand it at this time.

She's a cowardly one in her own right.

He Zao nodded in understanding, and said with concern: "Sister Xia'er, go quickly, don't be scolded by the eldest lady." ”

The generations of the He family, the male baby is from top to bottom, but the female baby is not so old, and each family is arranged according to each family, so He Zao called He Chun'er "big sister", called He Xia'er, Qiu'er and Dong'er are directly connected to the name sister.

Who knew that Ma Shi seemed to hear the movement outside, and he was still holding a handful of crunchy cucumbers in his hand, and when he saw a few people, his eyes turned around them, but he didn't bother to scold He Xia'er, but only asked He Zao with interest: "Zao'er, you told the eldest lady, what kind of scorpion did you sell for ten taels of silver?" ”

As she spoke, she took a big bite on the crispy cucumber, the crispy skin was juicy, and the juice splashed out with her bold movements, He Zao moved back quietly, and said with a smile: "Big lady, ten taels of silver is so easy to earn, and it is not money blown down by the wind in the sky!" ”

Ma raised his eyebrows and wanted to distinguish in detail.

He Zao tilted his head sideways, as if he was smiling: "If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, you can earn ten taels in person for our juniors to see." ”

Facing her black and bright eyes, Ma remembered how powerful she was in the past, and he was really afraid that he would not be able to take advantage of him verbally, so he took a bite of the cucumber stupidly: "Hmph, isn't it just ten taels of silver, it's really rare for me!" You, what are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and cook, I didn't see a bunch of starving ghosts crawling back! ”

She nodded He Xia'er's head and scolded unceremoniously.

He Xia'er lowered her head, secretly glanced at He Zao and them, and walked towards the courtyard.

They looked at each other and entered the house together.

Old man He sat on the kang and smoked cigarettes, not knowing what he was thinking, Mrs. He stared angrily at Chen who was standing on the ground, He Tangerine sneered next to her, Da Bao and Er Bao were sitting in danger, Da Yang and Forsythia sat next to Erbao, and He Boss sat on the stool on the side in a daze, and the posture was not as imposing as the two children.

Seeing a few people come in, everyone's eyes looked over, their eyes seemed to be looking at the guilty prisoner, but Forsythia's eyes were a little curious.

Hey, there's really a bit of a three-class triage!

He Zao thought bitterly.

Chen glanced up at them, his lips squirming, his face complicated, but finally he slowly lowered his head.

He Zao greeted Old Man He first like he was fine: "Master, this old man has come back from the field a long time ago?" ”

"Humph!" Old Lady He snorted softly from her nostrils.

Old Man He didn't pay attention to He Zao, and only glanced at Old Lady He lightly: "You go and see how the rice is done?" ”

This was the critical moment, and Mrs. He was willing to leave, so she had to reluctantly shut up.

There was silence in the room, only the cigarette spit out by Old Man He was shrouded in the room that was not very transparent.

After a while, he enlarged the corner of the kang table with his pipe, and he didn't look at others, only at He Chun'er: "Chun'er, you are the eldest sister, you tell the truth to the master, how much did you sell scorpions and honeysuckle?" ”

He Chun'er was a little surprised that the master would ask herself, and she couldn't help but be surprised, and glanced at He Zao.

The latter was looking down in contemplation.

"You watched Ye speak, he was only nine years old early, what do you know, we are all a family, what can't you say to Ye?"

Old Man He said earnestly, his eyes still didn't look at other people, especially He Zao.

Knowing that Old Man He was deliberately ignoring He Zao, Old Mrs. He showed a relieved smile.

This little girl should teach her a lesson.

Yesterday, with Na Lisuo's mouth, she almost let her steal the silver, which was a full ten taels.

He Chun'er was gentle and silent, he was an honest person like He Laosan in his bones, he couldn't lie, but he couldn't say a word after talking for a long time, and his face suddenly turned red: "Master ......"

He Zao hurriedly spoke: "Master, in fact, these ......"

"Sibao, you are the elder brother, you come." Old Man He suddenly raised his voice, as if he hadn't heard her speak, and looked straight at Sibao.

Sibao was stunned for a moment, looked at He Zao, who was looking at him with wide eyes, and then looked at the old man He who had a slightly gloomy face, as if he hadn't paid attention to He Zao at all, his palms slowly clenched, he dug his lips, and his voice was slow and clear: "Master, if you have anything to say, you can ask Zao'er, this way to make money is what Zao'er thought, and Zao'er took us to sell, how much she sold and how much she earned, she knows best, better than us." If you want to know, just ask her and win. ”

Qibao also preemptively said, his small voice crispy: "Yes, master, the second sister knows best, if you want to ask, just ask her." ”

He is small, but he is extremely smart, and he can see that Old Man He seems to be deliberately ignoring the second sister.

can't let the second sister be bullied anymore, he has to protect the second sister!

Qibao's small shoulders were straight, and the hand holding He Zao was also tightly grasped.

He Chun'er reacted and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, master, Zao'er knows best." ”

Old Man He's gaze swept over a few of them little by little, and finally fell on He Zao, took a puff of his pipe, and then slowly asked, "Zao'er, did you sell more than ten taels of silver in total?" ”
