Chapter 19: Come to Life
Yu Qinniang heard that her mother-in-law and niece had encountered a snake on the mountain, so she deliberately didn't go to bed early tonight, and she was very worried that her niece would be scared.
It's just that these eyelids are always sticking together as if they are disobedient.
While she was napping, there was movement in the main house, and a rare fuel-saving lamp was lit.
The fuel-saving lamp is the name of the lamp. There is a water inlet on the lamp body, and the bottom is drained with water, and the oil and wick are discharged only on the top of a layer, and the water will make the temperature in the lamp not high, so as to achieve the purpose of fuel saving. The old saying "you are not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance" is how it came about.
And Lao Xu's family only has this fuel-saving lamp, which is not basically used for the New Year.
So when Yu Qinniang saw that the lights were on, she hurriedly got up, put on her clothes and ran out.
"Mother, is Tian Xin'er scared, I'll go next door and borrow it for the little boy, and get the urine ready first."
The boy urinates to ward off evil spirits, and he can restore his vitality by pouring a big bowl on his niece.
Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin were not frightened by the money box, but now the copper plate was jumping out, but they were startled by Yu Qinniang's coldness.
Afraid that Yu Qinniang rushed into the house to see her, Mrs. Xu hurriedly covered the jingling money box with a quilt, and scolded deliberately not angrily: "What can happen to me here?" Go back to bed, you're either or pee all day. ”
Yu Qinniang was puzzled, usually the mother said that the child's urine was fairy water, and their fairy water has always been rubbed against the courtyard next door, why don't you dislike it today, but she didn't dare to talk back, and she didn't even dare to enter the house: "Mother, then call me again if you have something." ”
After Yu Qinniang left, Mrs. Xu slowly lifted the quilt.
At this time, the money box finally stopped.
How much is that, huh?
The cumulative number of tips on the day reached 203 people, some people rewarded five yuan, some people rewarded 100 yuan, the amount of money varied, but the average amount of money was more than 30 per person.
Six taels of silver, plus ninety copper plates.
And there are more than 100 messages, the same content, you must have a good meal.
The grandparents and grandchildren sat cross-legged on the kang, looking at the copper plates shining under the oil lamp, and they were so moved that they were silent.
What is the concept of six taels of silver?
In the years when you can't fill your stomach, you have to build a new house enough to be eye-catching, you say that the people in the village always talk about her family. But the house all adds up, including the expansion of the area to pay to the village, a total of only six taels, and two taels are borrowed.
Mrs. Xu lay down holding a bunch of copper plates.
At this time, it was already the third watch in the middle of the night, how could there be the sun, but she felt as if she was pretending to be a big sun in her heart.
I thought that when I came here, I looked at this environment and thought about the calf, and no one could pull the uphill road in the future, but I didn't expect it......
Mrs. Xu remembered that in modern times, she liked to see that I loved my family, and she was envious, how could there be such a large group of people in her family, and she preferred to hum the songs of the play.
She felt that the song was her mood at this time.
Why are you singing?
You are the warmth that I can't forget in my memory; You are the light in the distance when I get lost; You are the one I am willing to pay for you; You are my forever return ticket when I am away from you.
Mrs. Xu was very moved.
"Milk, shall we eat chicken?"
"Eat." So many messages for eating, that is a special fund. You can't say that there is a famine in my family, and my family still lacks this shortage and that I am not qualified to eat well at present. Even if there are many reasons, it can't chill the hearts of the old irons.
And if you want to eat it, you will eat it fragrantly, and never forget the first pot of gold that is supported by you.
But here's the problem, there are no chickens at home.
——
"Third sister?" Mrs. Xu shouted with a cane.
Hao Yinhua emerged from the chicken coop: "Gaha, Gaha, Gaha." ”
"Your old hen that doesn't lay eggs sells me, you give me a real price, how much copper plate."
"What are you buying?" Hao Yinhua thought that she had heard the stubble, so she deliberately went to Mrs. Xu to confirm again: "Are you going to sew chickens again?" ”
Before Mrs. Xu could lie, Hao Yinhua was stopped by the village boys.
I heard that the child ran to the river to play in the water again, and fell into the river and was fished out, so he was swaying all over his body and asked the family to hurry up to someone.
No, Hao Yinhua said to Mrs. Xu: "Just collect ninety copper plates, if you don't owe it first", just think about waiting for the stitching to earn money and then give it to her, while pulling a torn dress from the rope in the courtyard and running out.
While running, the straw sandals also ran away.
came back and picked up straw sandals angrily, and scolded while busy: "Where did the child fall? Look at me and go and peel him. said how many times after a heavy rain, the water was very deep, and there was mud and grass inside, and there was a ...... that urinated and farted into it" accompanied by scolding, this time it was completely gone.
Hao Yinhua left, and Yu Jiazhu asked with a smile, "Sister, which chicken do you want?" ”
If it weren't for Hao Yinhua's face, and knowing that the old hen in the next yard had indeed been raised for more than three years, running the mountains during the day and coming back at night, she couldn't wait to feed the buds.
Mrs. Xu also specially called her granddaughter out, and gave her granddaughter the drill pipe used by her second son to drill small holes at home.
This thing is specialized in drilling very small holes in wood, which are very sharp.
It's time to put on a show of real technology.
So Yu Jiastick was fortunate to see Xiao Xu Flying Knife, and when the chicken was the most difficult to catch, the drill swished out in front of him, and the chicken fluttered twice and fell.
Yu Jiaba's frightened hands trembled, and he didn't ease his mind for a while, and when he turned around, he was about to scold Xu Tianxin, who was sitting on the wall, but he didn't scold.
Because he found that Mrs. Xu was pinching her waist and watching him smile.
Lao Xu's family made this on purpose!
Mrs. Xu thought to herself: Let you see that it is deliberate. If you dare to squat on the wall and talk in front of me, then I will let my granddaughter tie you into a sieve, and then the leakage will be nothing, and you will be leaking all over your body.
"Fourth aunt?" Hao Yinhua's daughter appeared carrying water, looked at her father, and then at Mrs. Xu, and always felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
"Hongjuan, you helped me hand over the chicken, just stabbed to death."
——
After returning to the house, the grandparents and grandchildren faced another problem, there was no rice at home.
If you let you eat chicken with rice, then you can't miss one.
It's a pity, even if you want to eat a good meal with a white face, you have to take one step at a time.
Whose house to buy rice from?
For example, few people in the village will save rice, 22 wen a catty, with a pound of polished rice can be exchanged for a lot of coarse grains, where can most families afford to eat, unless there are very young children will leave some white rice to make rice soup. Or a very good family like Liu Lizheng. Then we have to consider the candidates, don't walk on the front foot, and pay attention to the back foot everywhere.
Mrs. Xu thought about the good candidate, and motioned to her granddaughter to start the live broadcast first, she had to explain to the family how this meal could not be eaten live until noon.
The live broadcast was just opened, and before Mrs. Xu could say the opening remarks, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Sister, what are you doing with the door closed in broad daylight, there are guests at home who can't enter." ”
The person who came was the old girlfriend of the original body, and the table was full. The two of them played together until they were young, and now they have no old man, and they live in the village where Uncle Xu's house is located.
The table was full of people who had been thinking about it since they heard that Sister Xianghua was almost burping, and it was finally empty today.
Mrs. Xu thought that there would only be a full table of visitors, but she didn't expect to open the door and see that there was another person standing outside.
In the same village, the only daughter of the old hunter, lived on the side of the mountain.
I heard that after the old hunter is gone, the girl in front of me can still go up the mountain to hunt, and she can't help but hunt big guys. Because the conditions are not bad, they are now recruiting a son-in-law, and the young couple is living. They are the village mothers-in-law who chew their tongues together.
"Auntie, I'm here to find you."
"What's the matter? Beautiful. "It seems to be called this name.
After Mrs. Xu heard what was going on, she fell silent with Xu Tianxin and the family members in the live broadcast room.
Because some people spend money to eat and drink, some people spend money to order songs, and today someone wants to hire her to do a job, hire her to come to the door to scold people.
Is she already that famous?
Yes, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhao had a fight that day, and Meizhuang happened to pass by the door of Xu's house to watch the audience. So she wanted Aunt Xu to help her scold and fight with her man's big group of relatives.
She won't do that.
When she gets angry, she either trembles with anger or wants to do something.
Meizhuang sometimes wonders, what is there to scold, why can't he sit down and slap each other a few times calmly. But thinking about what her father told her before he died, some reasons must be said out loud to others to know, otherwise if she comes up, she will only have a reputation for arrogance, and it will be difficult to find a daughter-in-law for a baby in the future, so she came to ask Aunt Xu for help. Let the eldest lady help scold, and she can concentrate on shaking and clenching her fists.
"Auntie, you say the number, I'll give the copper plate."
Mrs. Xu: "...... What, do you have rice at home? ”
