After the autumn harvest and autumn planting were busy, the whole village was idle, He Zao's workshop reopened, and the women returned to work.

The corn seeds, soybeans, and peanuts of Hezao's family were also dried and packed.

He Laosan was worried about the one-third to be distributed to the old house, and early in the morning, he weighed the corn seeds and soybeans, because when the forsythia came to play at home, he casually mentioned: "I still have peanuts in your house, so the peanut milk at home has been sold, and there is only a little left for you to give." Let He Laosan suddenly realize, this time he consciously weighed the peanuts.

Then it was sent to the old house in an ox cart.

The plan of the day lies in the morning, which is the busiest time for the villagers, and the people who come and go see the posture of the third room, so they are only a little out: "The third child, send food to your father and mother?" ”

He Laosan smiled honestly.

When they walked away, the people behind were still secretly discussing: "...... Lao He's mother-in-law is an eccentric, fortunately the third family came over by themselves, otherwise there would be some excitement! ”

He Laosan seemed to have heard something, and his dark face was slightly uncomfortable.

When I arrived at the old house's house, I happened to see Uncle He driving the ox cart to load the car, and when I asked, I learned that Mr. He felt that the peanuts were almost sun, so he transported them directly to the town and sold them.

Seeing the grain transported from the third room, Old Man He shirked a few words, and asked He Laosan to send him to the empty room in the back, but He Zao stopped him, and said with a smile: "Master, my father is weighing at home, he is alone, what if something goes wrong, if you don't hit the scales again?" ”

Old Man He's face stiffened, and he said with a smile: "No need, my son I know, let's send it over." ”

He Zao was resolute: "Master, when we split the family, we said that it was one-third of the grain, and now we have to weigh it clearly, you see, the milk, the eldest mother, and the second mother are all watching." ”

Old Man He turned his head to look at it, and his brows furrowed.

Mrs. He and her daughter-in-law didn't know when they came out, and they were listening intently to his conversation with He Zao.

When she met his gaze, Mrs. He winked at him vigorously, as if to imply that he could not be deceived by his son.

He worked hard for most of his life and raised four sons, but when he was old and decrepit, he watched the old man lose his home, and watched his wife become more and more greedy and selfish, and even his son did not believe it, as if he was guarding against outsiders.

However, he could not take these words seriously.

When Mrs. He was with him when she was young, she suffered a lot, and the two were considered a husband and wife in distress, and there were some things he couldn't say.

"Then—just weigh it!" He was silent for a long time before he said lightly and named: "Boss, second child, you two scales, I'm here to watch." ”

He Lao Er immediately rolled up his sleeves and came up, and Ma pushed He Boss, who came over hesitantly.

He Laosan consciously stood behind and did not intervene.

Ma and He Lao Er also didn't want him to interfere.

When it was confirmed that everything was indeed given enough, He Lao Er reluctantly stopped and let He Lao Da and He Lao Si move to the back together.

During the whole process, Old Man He was very indifferent, just like someone else's family was weighing grain, sitting on the stone slab, holding a cigarette pouch and swallowing clouds.

Because of the loss of one-fifth of the grain all of a sudden, Mrs. He was in a bad mood until she saw the cart of grain from the Sanfang family, and her mood relaxed slightly, pointing to the peanuts on the cart: "Don't move these peanuts, move them to that car, and sell them directly in the town!" ”

He Lao Er twisted his face, as if he thought he had heard it wrong, and asked with a smile: "Mother, didn't you say that you want to leave the third room for your own food." ”

"Eat, eat." Mrs. He was short-tempered, and scolded directly: "Don't look at the situation in our family, we are all starving to death, who will give you peanuts!" ”

He Lao Er was in a hurry, so he was a little speechless: "Then why can't you, our family also goes around scorpions, weaves drifts, pulls cypresses, and earns a lot of money with the third room, why can't we leave some peanuts to eat?" ”

The conscience of heaven and earth, he just felt that he had to stay in the old house for a long time, there was no oil and water for food, and he worked hard for half a month of farm work, and the whole person was thin and tanned, and he felt that if he lived this kind of life again, he must go crazy.

The only thing that is fortunate is that he went to town in the morning, came back at noon, went again after a nap, and came back at night, with some money left in his hand, he was able to buy some snacks to eat, but it was his furniture, how hard it was to save it, Erbao and Liubao went to the school with him, and he could not buy it for his son, and his son showed off with his two daughters when he came back after eating, causing the little girl to cry to herself all the time, and said that she was partial.

There was no way, he had to secretly bring it to the two daughters, but the old house was full of people, and he was almost found that time, but fortunately he was clever enough to pass by, but Ma became suspicious, and suddenly appeared at the door of the room from time to time, if it continues like this, it will definitely be discovered.

He had no choice but to stop his plan to open a small stove.

This peanut is what he said, Mrs. He is willing to stay, and when the time comes, she will buy some oil and fry it, which is fragrant peanuts, which can be regarded as a snack.

Seeing that the dearest second son dared to disagree with her, Mrs. He's eyes widened, and her face was a little hurt: "Second son, why are you so conscienceless...... I saved all the money to give you a mile for your home school......" His voice was a little choked: "What do you mean by this, do you mean that I swallowed the money privately?" ”

At the beginning, the daughter-in-law's grandson and grandson went up the mountain to go around the scorpion's money, and the money from Bai knocked was all asked by her, and Ma also wanted to send Dayang to the school as a reason to keep the money, but she was not He Zao, and she couldn't suppress Mrs. He, and finally after a big trouble, Mrs. He collected all the money.

Now the weaving drift is also the same, as soon as the He family has free time, they have to sit on the pier to weave the drift, and the last brain is sold to Uncle He, and the money is all held by Mrs. He.

Ma once said to Liu more than once: "The old lady loves money!" ”

He Lao Er was a little weak-hearted, the family looked at it, he couldn't talk to the old man, otherwise it would be unfilial, so he hurriedly explained: "Then how can it, I don't dare to think like this, our family can live like this, it is all due to the mother's good fortune and family, you take this money just right, what, we should take the money from selling grain this time!" ”

Mrs. He's face turned cloudy by what he said, and she became happy again in a blink of an eye.

When a truckload of peanuts was sent to the county seat, He Lao Er insisted on going, and said that he was familiar with the town and was easy to sell at a high price.

Old Man He believed his words, so he let Uncle He go with him.

He Zao noticed that Liu and several children seemed to be particularly concerned about food.

She didn't think much about it at first, and went home with He Laosan and others, who knew that in the middle of the afternoon, the old mansion would have an accident again. The movement was so loud that even the neighbors on the left and right were alarmed.
