Chapter 60: He's Still Simple

"It stands to reason that even if the family can't open the pot, I shouldn't tell this secret.

But tonight Zhao Dashan is here, you know.

I learned from him that it might make it more difficult for our family, or maybe it would make our family turn over.

Before you tell me the news, you promise me that you will never tell it until outsiders know about it. I promised that Zhao Dashan, so I can't make people embarrassed. ”

Presumably, after knowing about it, everyone went to the town to ask around and it was enough to drink a pot, and then they couldn't even guard the city gate.

Xu Tianxin hurriedly said: "I promise not to say it." ”

Xu Tianxin knew that her milk was not her guarantee.

But that's what she had advised her grandmother before.

There are currently three people in the family, and when you ask or do something, don't just let your aunt answer, bring her with you.

It is difficult for a daughter-in-law to marry outside, and there is no way to avoid the live broadcast of the aunt behind her back, so when she usually speaks, she and her grandmother only need to pay a little attention to it, and it doesn't take much effort. Maybe just that little will make the daughter-in-law who marries abroad feel warmer in her heart and feel that she is not regarded as an outsider.

Yu Qinniang was in shock, and only reacted when she heard her niece's statement, and quickly raised her hand and said, "Mother, I swear by my mother's life...... It's not, it's not about you! ”

Yu Qinniang wanted to explain that it was her mother-in-law. Because she felt that she only swore by herself, and the strength was not enough. Like the village always swears by herself, she still lied and was not struck by lightning. is a daughter-in-law who marries outside, and if she dares to swear by her own father, she is the top.

Mrs. Xu complained without waiting for her daughter-in-law to explain: "Your mother really owes you in her previous life, and she has to do this bad thing." ”

"Then I swear by my life ...... bread"

"Stop, don't stop", and if you continue to talk about it, you will die several times.

Afraid that Yu Qinniang would be in a hurry, Mrs. Xu waved her hand and said, "I know you are a strict mouth, you don't have to swear, just get down to business." ”

But then, no matter how Mrs. Xu explained that the mutual market was an opportunity for the Xu family, Yu Qinniang summed up her statement with the same sentence: "Mother, that is the silver money left by the eldest brother to Xin'er, and it can't be moved." ”

"Didn't I say that? The title deed is written in the name of the field core. ”

"That's moving, too."

Mrs. Xu simply turned to look at her granddaughter and said, "I think that our family only gets enough fish and meat, what is there to do?" Let's buy fish from the village committee. When the weather is cold, it will be made into fish ball jelly, including our preserved fish or something. Not only do you sell food and drink on the side of the avenue, but even these also set up a counter to take out. In addition, what is lacking on the road of people's caravans, our shop must have. You help the milk think about what they will lack, so that they can make money. ”

"Mother, that's what the eldest brother left for Xin'er, it's not good for you to use the money to make money......"

"Shut up for me." Can't you honestly eat fish and meat buns?

Mrs. Xu's train of thought was completely interrupted.

Sometimes even Mrs. Xu is very convinced of the axis strength in her daughter-in-law.

Okay, okay, I can't fix you, don't discuss things, send you away first: "I'll ask you for leave, you take the West Courtyard to take a bicycle back to your mother's house tomorrow morning." ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Xu to finish speaking, Yu Qinniang blushed and said, "I can't borrow money when I go back to my parents' house." ”

Yu Qinniang thought that her mother-in-law was asking her to go back to her parents' house to borrow money.

The child's money can't be moved, and the mother-in-law must have a place to borrow money if she wants to buy land and build a house, but her mother-in-law really can't count on it, it's not that she won't go back to borrow it.

Back then, she still used her dowry money to support her mother's family and completely split up. Otherwise, her mother and her two younger brothers will continue to suffer in the hands of the two uncles. Since her grandmother and her father passed away one after another, the relatives of those houses have always quarreled because of the uneven division of the land and the house, and no one has given a step and has not been divided. As a result, the people in their room ate the least and wore the most shabby, but they were scolded and beaten and worked the most. Later, she simply asked for a lot less, so little that the whole village couldn't stand it and helped talk, and she used her dowry money as a supplement before moving out.

Like the year before last, when I went back to my parents' house, I found that the food was much worse than my mother-in-law's, and there was little soup in the porridge bowl, so I asked why I didn't look for her. Her mother said: You didn't bring back a penny of the dowry given by your mother-in-law, presumably your mother-in-law already thinks that our family is cheeky enough. The situation has been too bad these years, and it is quite shameless to visit your in-laws without a gift during the New Year's Festival, I told you two brothers, no matter how hard it is, you can't come to borrow food, what are you looking for? You are someone's daughter-in-law, and you haven't given birth to a baby, so you don't know what life you will live in your in-law's house.

At the end of last year, the eldest brother sent a message to people from other villages, saying that the family life was much better, which reassured her.

But if there is food, the situation is not good, how good can it be? It is estimated that it is a message to let her live in peace.

And the above things about the in-laws, can Mrs. Xu not know?

Not to mention that Mrs. Xu is most convinced by Yu Qinniang now, what is going on in her mind, day by day, emotions can still be abundant.

"Can you listen to me and be ashamed? Catch ten or fifteen fish tomorrow morning and carry them back to your mother's house. ”

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: Please Zhao Dashan and those officials can eat several pure fish meat at a time, don't go to your in-laws' house and pick and search.

The daughter-in-law didn't jump out of the crack in the stone, who doesn't think about her mother's family, human nature.

Mrs. Xu asked Yu Qinniang: "You haven't been back for a year or two, right?" I was going to let you and Youliang go back to your parents' house in the winter, but now it's not hitting, and you can see that winter is the busiest, so you just go back now. While the weather is still warm, you can pickle the fish, give the fish to your mother, and let you quickly pickle a few for the winter. ”

Yu Qinniang was stunned again.

The expression was more dumbfounded than knowing that there were twenty taels hidden under the big brother's tree.

"Mother......

"It's not for you to go in vain, you give me back to my senses.

I remember your mother was very clever at making Ula shoes, right? You asked her to give me fifty pairs of soles, get ready first.

Cotton and shoe cloth surface, more than a month is coming back to sell goods and then send them to your mother.

The size of the shoe is made according to the feet of most men, and your mother often knows how to do manual work. Ula grass, except for the fifty pairs of shoes to be used, let your mother and your two younger brothers take home as much as they can dry on the roof of the courtyard, and beat me when it's over. ”

Mrs. Xu wanted to take it and sell it back to those caravans who broke through the east and the west.

You must know that outsiders will be frozen here if they come cold.

The cotton clothes on the body, especially the cotton shoes on the feet, may not be so well prepared.

The Ula grass is just a plant, but it can stand together with ginseng and mink as the three local treasures, which can be imagined as its preciousness.

And they are the only ones here where the rivers and humid areas are everywhere, and it is very rare to leave here, and it is very rare to leave here.

It is also the people here who are not lightly frozen, thousands of miles of ice, and the north wind is biting, so that generation after generation slowly summed up how to make it withstand the cold.

In my memory, the use of Ula grass should be cut from the grass roots and put outside to dry, and the Ula grass can be tied into a straw handle after drying, and then the left hand holds a straw handle, and the right hand holds a wooden hammer to beat the hay repeatedly, which will hammer until you doubt that life is also hammered to the grass fiber, and then shake to make the debris fall off. When the hay is beaten like a filament, and soft to the touch, it can be sewn into the cotton shoes.

At that time, the feet were dressed with cloth and cotton, and then a circle of shoes wrapped in wool grass from the soles of the feet to the necks were sewn, which was equivalent to the insoles that covered the entire foot, and there was nothing wrong with more than minus 40 degrees.

Moreover, this kind of shoes also wicks away moisture and perspiration, and it is said that it also relieves fatigue, relaxes muscles and invigorates blood. When she sells shoes, she will have to be introduced, except that she can't eat it, everything will be alleviated.

Straw sandals like this are common in the countryside. The wealthy people in the city wore shoes sewn from fur.

Mrs. Xu totaled, maybe fifty pairs are not enough, and she can't prepare for only one mighty caravan to come, and there will be many stewards in charge of the team before and after, and none of them are bad money. Besides, when she is in a hurry, she can't take care of the money, and she won't sell it at a black price. If it goes well, a team will be able to cover all of her shoes.

Let whoever does this work do it, let the in-laws do it.

"When you sell the money, you will settle it for your mother, and as for the ula grass, compare it to ......."

Mrs. Xu didn't finish speaking, and Yu Qinniang ran out.

Before going out, he picked up the two empty buckets.

When she returned to her parents' house tomorrow morning, she would have delayed her work to change fish, and if she didn't fill the water tank, it would have been up to her mother-in-law and niece.

"Huh? I had to fix it for her, and I never waited for me to finish. ”

Xu Tianxin turned his head to look at the courtyard: "Milk, my aunt is moved, and I am embarrassed to shed tears in front of you." ”

Yes, on the way to fetch water, Yu Qinniang's steps were sonorous and powerful, and she cried worse than when her mother splashed a basin of water and shouted "live a good life" on the day she got married.

Growing up so big, she hasn't met a few people who are good to her.

Yu Qinniang felt that her heart was getting hot.

To put it inappropriately, even if her man is gone one day, she thinks that she will not leave the Xu family, and will serve her mother-in-law like a daughter.

And Yu Qinniang's water is endless, and she can't wait to fill all the pots in the house, as if the old well in the village will stop the water tomorrow.

It's useless to stop anyone, and when you encounter patrols in the village, you have to reach out to help, and you don't need people. thinks that her mother-in-law is enough to live at home, and don't owe favors. The mother-in-law said that it would be difficult to carry water again.

I really can't fix this axis.

So Mrs. Xu fell asleep with the sound of rushing water, but when she stared, she heard someone standing in front of the kang, just above her head, and said quietly: "Mother, that's the ...... left by the eldest brother to Xin'er."

"Get out of here!"

"No, mother", Yu Qinniang plucked up the courage to pull the door frame and said: "I'm here to help, you listen to me." We really don't have anywhere to borrow money at the moment, but if we give money to our children, we can't use it in vain. Only with the child's money can he buy a wasteland and afford a shop, does the money earned by the shop have to be set aside for Tian Xin alone? You just have to pay some interest when you go out to borrow, don't you? It makes sense everywhere. ”

Mrs. Xu was frightened by Yu Qinniang, slowed her heart, and thought: Where is the money, I am worried about the score before I start earning it.

"I know in my heart, can you go back to sleep?" I also made an appointment with Liu Laozhu tomorrow morning.

But Yu Qinniang walked a few steps and went backwards: "There is one last sentence, the cost of going back to my parents' house ......"

Report it to you, reimbursement, Mrs. Xu brought Yu Qinniang enough twenty copper plates, and in the end she was so sleepy that she shouted: "Carry two dry food tomorrow morning and leave, don't be stupid and skip eating." ”

On the second day, it was still a little dark, and Yu Qinniang walked on the country road with five fish on her back in a basket.

She left without waiting for the next door Yu Jiastick to depart, because the bus from Erdaohe Village to her mother's house would cost two extra copper plates. She walked an extra distance, and it would be too late for her car to stand on the side of the road.

She didn't carry fifteen fish, that is because her mother-in-law has to worry about a lot of work in the village to earn money, why is she so black-hearted, her mother-in-law is not even willing to eat a bowl of fish and meat wontons, how can she be embarrassed to take so much for her mother's family. It's better to let the mother's family make more shoes, and let the eldest brother and the second brother also be diligent and carry more grass, so that they can make money with their hands to really help their mother's family.

And Mrs. Xu didn't know what time her stupid daughter-in-law left.

At this time, Mrs. Xu and Liu Laozhu were standing on the wasteland they wanted to buy, planning how to buy.

Liu Laozhu only has one feeling, and it is not good to call him brother.

Because you see who buys the land, not according to the number of acres?

Look at this again, draw a rectangular block and buy it, you can buy a circle.
