"How much does it cost to go to Xujiazhuang?"

"Eight copper plates."

The old lady is too expensive: "There is not much to go, just two copper plates, give me a section." "After that, I was going to climb into the car.

The puller hurriedly stopped.

He looked at the old lady with half a car and said: "Old lady, it is not possible to specify two copper plates, it has been thirty-nine days, and I have put a charcoal pot on the car for you with a lid, and the livestock have to be fed more than usual." ”

He said with a smiling face: "Don't bargain if you wear so decently, it's not easy for me to pull a little work, and six copper plates will give you a section." ”

A middle-aged man in the car suddenly asked the old lady: "You are the mother-in-law of the Erdaohe storyteller, right?" ”

With this sound, the women in the car began to talk.

Oh, she is the mother-in-law of Xu Hao, the speaker of Erdaohe.

"Ah, it's Erdaohe Xu's family, I heard that it's old and solid now, the horse manure wall, whoever passes by takes a look, and the white noodles and big fish and meat at home are hard to eat. opened a shop and washed and ate, and earned a net of 180 taels of silver a day. There was also a rumor a while ago that our country girl knew a female official, and she was talking about her little girl. ”

"How did you know the senior official?"

"Where can we know, people know each other anyway, if you want me to say, it's fate. Otherwise, there are few female officials, and we ordinary people can't even see the shadow of shoes, where is it so easy to meet. You can ask the old lady. ”

When the woman said this, she moved her buttocks and hurriedly beckoned to the old lady: "Your old family is like this, what is the price?" Get in the car, let's go, lest we choke on the cold. ”

The old lady rolled her eyes in her heart: The cold is enough to choke and it doesn't stop you from being blind.

Who passed on these words, there are 180 taels left in the family a day, and white noodles and big fish and meat can be eaten. As soon as you hear it, it's fake, and you can't stop many people from believing it.

The old lady resigned herself to climb into the car, and it was found that it was Hao Xianghua's mother-in-law, and she really couldn't bargain anymore.

You can't throw a bump in your family outside.

"Old lady, what is your daughter-in-law's house selling? We don't have a chance to go into the shop to have a look, you can talk to us. ”

The old lady sighed in her heart, she was so difficult.

You can't just get angry outside and say: "Why are you talking so much bullshit, I'm in a bad mood, I'm about to find someone to fight, I need to brew, you shut up for me."

At that time, her mouth was happy, and she should spread it around again, and her family took advantage of the two money nostrils to the sky.

It doesn't matter if she is said, no one knows her, the problem is that she will pay attention to her second daughter-in-law behind her back, and her daughter-in-law is a celebrity.

The road echoed with the amiable voice of the old lady.

It wasn't the same as she had imagined what she would look like after her birth.

The old lady imagined that she would be arrogant not to talk to ordinary people.

Only now do I realize that I can only be more modest.

"It's to cook for passing merchants, and earn two hard-earned money by relying on your legs and feet.

Where we will earn so much in the countryside, it is all guessed by others.

There is a fishing tax for fishing, a poll tax for opening shops, and those who work are paid for food.

Every day, as soon as the door of the shop opens, if no one enters, my second daughter-in-law will be on fire. It's salty and light, it's inevitable that the hair in the pot will fall out, she is very kind to do business with people, and she will redo it without saying a word. There are many businessmen and customers, and there are many messy things.

There is also a large family busy with these small business to guard the dead body, from the moment they wake up to work until midnight.

I see that you are about the same age as my second daughter-in-law, and you are sleeping in a hot bed, but she has to get up and work no matter whether she has a headache, brain fever, wind, or snow, which is not easy. ”

When the men in the car inquired about the caravan, the old lady also cheered up and said:

"Well, yes, it's not unusual to see a convoy passing in front of us here, there are always passing cars. Listen to them, there is less winter now, and there will only be more spring. Sometimes the beckoning will stop, sometimes the face will be blown snowflakes, and the two voices will be reprimanded: get out of the way. Let's just listen to two sentences, right? What if you stop and enter the shop? ”

The old lady didn't forget to sell and turned the topic to everyone:

"Don't listen to twenty or thirty texts, taking a bath seems to be quite evil, that's different.

After we washed our hair at home, our hair was frozen and hard, and we didn't dare to wash it more and delay it, for fear that the water would be cold when we turned around.

It's hot in the room, you can soak it for as long as you want, and if you're hungry and can't afford to buy bread, bring some of your own. Enna, let me bring it, and give hot water to drink.

So I said that if I have a son and a daughter at home, I should go before I get married, lie down on the hot kang and drink some food, and wait for my hair to dry and warm before leaving.

And you, in fact, should also rub and relieve itching all year round, and wash away the bad bad luck. Listen to the eldest mother, don't count the dozens of dollars, you won't be able to make a fortune with this extra copper plate.

After washing, it is the second year to ask for good luck. The body is loose all year round, work hard, the harvest of grains is not stronger than anything, and the money for bathing comes out from everywhere. ”

The sales pitch was so useful that even the coachman threw his whip and turned his head and asked, "Old lady, is the door open on the twenty-nineth?" ”

During the first month, there were many relatives and friends, and the coachman was only free on the 29th.

He pondered that after burning the paper for his deceased relatives, he would bring his old father to wash it, which made sense. The hair is too long to wash at home, and after washing, you can lie on the hot kang and scrape the lice with a grate to avoid sucking blood. All year round, pine and pine are good to worship ancestors.

"Even the New Year is open, I heard a few of my grandchildren say that before the New Year, Erdaohe will have a car to go to the villages for a few days, and if you want to wash and hear the sound of the gong, you will follow the car, no money, and send it to the bag."

It is to wait until the wash is completed, and a car full of people will be used before the car will depart.

Just taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the vehicle is going to the town and various villages to sell fish, sell some food, drink and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar used in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and come back to pull the bath without emptying the car.

Seeing that Xujiazhuang was about to arrive in front of them, everyone hadn't talked enough.

The wind and cold air are so cold that their mouths are so cold that they can't stop their curiosity about the Xu family.

And the old lady chattered, and at the same time, she also lowered a lot of anger, at least her hands were not abrupt, and her blood was no longer so upsurged.

A lot of things just get angrier the more you think about it, and distracting yourself can alleviate it a little.

The brain was not too hot, and the old lady suddenly remembered something.

Zhao Di of the eldest son's family came home in the morning to tell her. said that while Gu Sufen let him go out to collect firewood, he ran to Erdao River.

The kid didn't have enough firewood, and he might have been beaten up when he returned.

If she goes straight to the door again, and she pats her ass after getting angry and leaves, what will the child do.

The old lady thought of Zhao Di coming home in the morning, and she was meeting at that time.

This morning, Youyin said that she wanted to eat sauerkraut stuffed buns that could be soaked in oil, and how could the second daughter-in-law have time to cook for this and that, she thought about giving the buns herself.

When Zhao Di entered the house, she saw that the basin was full of white flour.

She saw that Zhaodi's shoes were soaked with snow and her ears were frozen, so she went outside to get snow and rub the child's ears.

When he was done, he lifted the lid of the pot and scooped out a bowl of millet porridge left over from the morning, as well as a boiled egg for the child to eat.

Zhao Di said: "Milk, I've eaten it." ”

"I don't know you yet? I can't get enough after eating. ”

"But, grandma, if the second aunt is at home, I will take the job. If you're not at home, don't give it like this.

Although my second aunt, brothers, and Tian Xin are not like that, it's not like I haven't served a job here.

But if your heart is a little unhappy, you will only be embarrassed in this home. Don't forget that you gave my family a pension field, not my second aunt, but you eat and live here.

Besides, on that day, you gave my brother no favor, and let my mother go out to hang out for a good meal. ”

At that time, she was anxious to ask what was going on.

In other words, the bowl of porridge and eggs didn't move until Zhao Di left.

Ah, the old lady remembered it, and she didn't say she didn't take anything.

Zhao Di saw the book and the paper on which Tian Xin had put on the table, and looked at it for a long time.

Zhao Di asked her to talk to Tian Xin: Can you give two pieces of paper that you don't need to write, I don't know what to read and I want to draw. Just give two for a period of time, and treat it as a thought.

Then she saw that Zhao Di was about to go out of the gate, and called the child to stop again, and Qin Niang was in the house.

Since Qin Niang has a body, she is with Meizhuang, and Chaotian Xin wants to write useless paper to accumulate up, saying that when the body is heavy, he can't work anymore, and he wants to practice calligraphy according to the cat and the tiger.

So the old lady gave Zhao Di something, a few pieces of paper with the surnames of various families in the village written by Xu Tianxin.

Thinking about this, the old lady pulled the man who was sitting in front of her to help her block the wind: "You went to the town to sell goods, right?" What is sold, whether there is anything left in the basket, I'll see. ”

"It's the frozen fruits that the children at home have accumulated in the autumn, and I go to the town to find work, and my mother-in-law has to bring them to sell by the way."

The man couldn't believe it, this old lady has a solid family, can she look at the sour fruits he searched cheaply?

The old lady bought it, divided it into several small bags and put it in the bag and got out of the car.

thought: In order to recruit Di, she can't go directly to the door to fight. She needed to go to the few houses where Gu Sufen paid attention to her first, so she pretended to hear about it from those houses.

And you can't go empty-handed, but also for the reputation of Erdaohe.

"Auntie, you should be slow."

"Hi, I'm going to take a bath for the New Year, why don't I be able to mention it there, my daughter-in-law has designated me to drink hot water, see you later."

The old lady smiled and waved her hand to the half-car man, showing that it was called an affinity.

turned around and straightened his face, and walked on foot for a stick of incense before entering Xujiazhuang.

Before entering the village, she deliberately dragged the headscarf down, revealing half of her face, and stretched the good clothes she was wearing today, without a patch, opening the doors of each family to show how filial piety the journey was.

In fact, what made the old lady the most angry this time was that Gu Sufen dared to say to others that she had an injury on her back, and she didn't know where she got into trouble and was whipped.

Zhao Di's child didn't lie, and told her what Gu Sufen and the people in Xujiazhuang Village were talking about:

"You don't know, I heard that the three boys were whipped for causing trouble outside, and the child's father was worried about it after hearing it, and he didn't sleep well for two nights in a row. But we don't dare to run and ask, who knows what's going on inside. ”

"Your brother-in-law's family, how did you make your fortune in the beginning?"

Gu Sufen's death, the old lady can imagine it when she is not at the scene:

"Hehe, we don't know, the family was poor at the beginning, and I paid back my old woman's two taels of pension money, if it wasn't for my wife and mother to come to the door to ask for it, I wouldn't pay it back, and I borrowed it for more than a year and almost two years.

You say, my wife and mother are almost 70 years old, and it is not easy to save a little money to cross the river. That year, it was tearing the core of cotton pants and pulling it out with hot air, so it was not returned.

Later, my brother-in-law and my mother-in-law pinched their waists and gave the old man a sickness, and my family spent a lot of copper plates to catch medicine to see a doctor. Although I gave the money over, but you don't know, I still stood at the gate and wiped my tears, and I couldn't wait to borrow it now, so that several families in Erdaohe could make it up.

Then I turned around and went back to my mother's house, and I heard that the side was developed.

I'm still wondering why it's been like this in just a few days.

And when I was short of flowers at the beginning, people never came to my sister-in-law. In the past, I used to send those boys to our house to eat.

Later, we were really human, and we reacted, that we were afraid of coming to my house to string money, and we were afraid that we would be wiped out of this good life now.

If you don't say that the three boys of her family were whipped, we don't dare to ask more, how did we make a fortune, our most real relatives didn't understand, for fear that there would be other things in the whipping. ”

Gu Sufen also told the women who came to visit the house:

"And my old lady is not at home over there, this time I have a book at home, and I know what kind of life the child and her grandmother are living there......

Anyway, it's like being in my house, and it's the same.

I don't have much ability, not as good as my brother and daughter-in-law, so we have to listen to my mother-in-law, so I don't dare to sit down when I stand up.

You don't know, it's not good to give you some books to eat, just a bone and two pieces of meat, so you can hide it and eat it. On a windy and air-conditioned day, I will let the kang in the house squat and eat for a while, and I will run to the other house with dishes for a while.

When I left, I had a book and said, "Milk, I'll come to see you tomorrow."

The old lady was stunned by the girl on the other side, and she didn't dare to respond to a word. ”

The other party asked: "Since you are begging for life on that side, why don't you bring it back to the old lady?" ”

Gu Sufen said:

The child's father took it on purpose, but the old man ...... Anyway, I won't say anything if it's too much, just one sentence, don't you think the old man is also snobbish.

Fingers are long and short.

The good life on that side gave her face. I'd rather work on that side, be a cow and a horse, and look at your face than be on this side.

And you don't know, it's not just my brother and daughter-in-law who are powerful. The kid over there is also a stubble.

The great-granddaughter stared at the great-grandmother, the great-grandmother had to be careful with a smiling face, you said this young age, alas!

When the child's father was dark yesterday and was so angry that he couldn't sleep, he also said that even if the little girl knew no matter how capable the person was, no matter how big an official she was, a junior could not be a powerful man, and she was taught to be uneducated.

The white little showman in Shili Eight Villages, no matter when he met the elders, he nodded, and I heard that he also brought foot washing water to the elders at home.

This is good, maybe the girl doesn't have much knowledge, and she suddenly gets looked at by people and shakes up, and the thickness of the dowry belt in the future has to on her mother-in-law's head.

I don't know how my brother and daughter-in-law taught me, or this child without a father is still a little ...... Tsk, that has to be taught with a snack. ”

The old lady took a deep breath and swallowed a mouthful of old blood that came to her throat again.

Only when she is beaten by the government is it called a whip, Gu Sufen's slut, slut, owes her mouth, what do you want to imply when you say it?!

How dare you arrange the home on the other side of the Erdao River so blindly. All of them are taken care of.

The things of the messy house, the boss and the book, this time she also saw clearly, there are no two kinds of people lying in a bed!

The old lady remembered what Tian Xin said to her: Grandma, you should also think about our family, you have been good to that side for decades, and now you should think more about my uncles.

She can no longer cover the face of her eldest son's family and pit her younger son's family.

The old lady pushed open the door of the mother-in-law's house with a big mouth in the village: "Five sisters." ”

"Old sister, why are you back, oops, fat, dress my God, if you don't open your mouth, I won't dare to admit it."

"I've kidnapped you here when I entered the village, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I'm worried about you. Can you not get fat? On the side of the second daughter-in-law, they stuffed everything delicious into my mouth. If you don't eat it, you can't do it ”
