Chapter 6 is tired but happy

"Really?"

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he took the vase handed over by He Zi'an, he couldn't put it down, and muttered in his mouth, "Young man, I think you're pretty good, you shouldn't lie to me, right?" What if the vase is found to be a fake? ”

"If there is anything wrong with this vase, you can come to me, and I will return it to you!"

"Done!"

480 yuan was successfully obtained, He Zixin was happy, afraid that it would be too late, so he hurriedly went to the neighborhood to buy fried eggs, fritters and some small snacks and rushed home.

When she got home, Li Hui had just gotten up and was surprised to see He Zi'an carrying a big bag and a small bag.

He Zi'an explained truthfully, Li Hui's expression was a little complicated, and she still didn't say anything, neither praising nor excited.

After eating the fritters and fried eggs that He Zi'an bought, Li Hui began to look for a job.

He Zi'an also began to shovel the land, and before leaving, he also spent two yuan and five yuan at the grocery store to buy a pack of good cigarettes.

……

Li Hui was looking outside for a while, and there was no suitable odd job, so she wandered around worriedly for a long time, and Li Hui made a miracle to find the address on yesterday's bill.

If He Zi'an hadn't lied to her, then he should still be there!

The temperature was surprisingly high in summer, Li Hui just looked for half an hour, and her clothes were soaked with sweat, so she had no choice but to find a cheap small noodle restaurant across the street, asked the boss for a bowl of noodle soup, and waited quietly.

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, forty minutes......

There is no figure of He Zi'an.

How can you deceive others?

Looking at the empty street, Li Hui sighed, and was about to go back, but she caught a glimpse of a shadow at the end of the street.

Li Hui's pupils suddenly constricted, and the whole person seemed to be frozen, unable to move a bit.

She saw with her own eyes that the man she remembered only drinking and beating people and losing his temper was pushing a tattered cart with great difficulty under the scorching sun.

The small cart was piled with broken copper and iron as high as a hill, and it was very heavy at first glance, and the people on the street passed by He Zi'an, and they even had to hide two steps to the side in disgust.

He Zi'an is really collecting scrap!

Li Hui opened her mouth and wanted to stop He Zi'an, but at this time, she couldn't make any sound at all.

He Zi'an didn't notice that Li Hui was watching him from a short distance, he was focused on his work, and all he wanted was to make money.

"Yo, what's wrong with the scrap? Brother, do you want to rest for a while, don't get heat stroke! ”

"What is my method, people have to sell these waste products to me, and when the boss remembers to help me dispose of these waste products, I think you should collect them here."

He Zi'an wiped the sweat from his head and skillfully handed over a cigarette, "Come, boss!" There are a few pieces of bronze, not bad, you see! ”

The thin monkey boss looked at it for a while, and the shape was good, but unfortunately it was too late, and it was all from the early Republic of China, but it was okay.

The thin monkey tore off the bill and gave it to He Zi'an, and sighed, "You have another 35 yuan!" ”

"Just throw this car scrap here, I'll deal with it for you, and I won't give you money, haha."

He Zi'an didn't say anything, because the price was in place this time, and it would be boring to talk about anything else.

After taking the money, He Zi was relieved.

Tired is really tired, but he worked hard for a day, and he earned 25 yuan regardless of the cost, and it was worth it to rush this income.

Before going home, He Zi'an went to the vegetable market again - he had already made up his mind, and he would cook the family's meals in the future, and he would raise Li Hui's body no matter what he said.

As soon as he walked to the vegetable market, a thin, dark-skinned man shouted at him: "This little brother, do you want to buy pig's trotters?" Pure green grass pig, the meat quality is very good! ”

He Zi'an glanced at the man, his complexion was rough, and there were five or six patches on his clothes.

I wanted to buy pork yesterday but didn't buy it, but today it's just right!

"How much is it for pig's trotters?"

"A pair of pig's trotters for four pieces...... Or three pieces of eight will do. ”

As soon as the price was quoted, the thin man seemed to be afraid that He Zi'an would not agree, so he pressed the price down by two cents before He Zi'an spoke.

This appearance made He Zi'an's heart moved: "It's okay, just four pieces, next time there are good goods to help me keep some." ”

After buying pig's trotters, He Zi'an went to other stalls to buy some lotus roots and red dates.

Carrying these home, there were many people sitting on the stools near the rental house, old and young, men and women, chattering and drinking tea.

As soon as everyone saw He Zi'an carrying meat and vegetables, their attention instantly focused.

The neighbor saw the things in He Zi'an's hand, and secretly sneered while envious, maybe he stole from who's house, poor and virtuous Li Hui, who had been moldy for eight lifetimes, married such a useless thing.

Now in this year, the vast majority of people's monthly income is only in their early 200s, which is relatively good, like the area where He Zi'an lives, which belongs to the edge of the county, and everyone's income is lower, that is, during the New Year's holidays, they are willing to eat big fish and meat.

What do these people mean in their eyes, how can they be at ease and clear in their hearts! But life is for yourself, and there is no need to argue with unrelated people, so you just nod your head and walk quickly.

Li Hui hasn't come back yet, the house is dark, He Zi'an turned on the light and went into the kitchen.

He first scalded the pig's trotters to remove the hair, and when he was about to stew in the pot, he heard the sound of the door opening outside, and took the time to take a look.

Li Hui's face was haggard, and she put the bag containing the old vegetable leaves she had picked up from the market, put it on the table, and sat down on the chair.

"Has it really changed? He ......" Li Hui lowered her head and touched her stomach and whispered to herself, she hadn't told He Zi'an the news of her pregnancy yet, because she felt that he was not worthy of being a father.

Even if He Zi'an really didn't lie to herself, she didn't have the confidence to not mention whether she could make money by collecting scrap, where did the motivation for personality change come from?

It shouldn't be hot for three minutes, and it will be back to the same after a few days.

In the kitchen, He Zi'an knew what his wife was worried about, and he was not in a hurry to express his position, after all, the countless experiences of the ancients have been summarized, and the nature of the country is easy to change, and it is difficult to change the nature of the country, and a normal person will suspect that if you stutter at a bite of food, the road will change step by step!

I saw him wearing an apron and walking out with a spoon, with a smile on his face, and said in a gentle tone: "Wife, you're back!" ”

Li Hui looked up.

"The pig's trotters have just come out of the pot, you have to wait before you can eat, you can rest first." He Zi'an continued.

Li Hui immediately thought of the scene of struggling to pull goods under the scorching sun in the afternoon, so she said angrily: "There is so much money that there is no land to burn, isn't it, in our situation, what qualifications do we have to eat pig's trotters." ”

"I earned dozens of dollars today, thinking that you are weak and nutritious to keep up, but in fact, it didn't cost much, the world is big, and my wife is the biggest, hehe." He Zi'an explained with a smile.

Li Hui was stunned when she heard this, and wanted to continue to spend money lavishly, but swallowed back the words when they came to her mouth, after all, it was not the same as before, money was earned by men.

Let's take a look at it again, Li Hui thought to herself, and sighed: "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the room to rest first." ”

He Zi'an wanted to step forward to help, but Li Hui didn't give a chance to walk quickly to the bedroom, so she could only smile awkwardly, and her eyes followed: "Well, when the pig's trotter soup is ready, I'll call you." ”

Bang!

Li Hui was silent, and went into the bedroom and closed the door heavily.

The relationship between husband and wife is really stiff.

Fortunately, He Zi'an was confident to do a good job, and he didn't have internal friction in this matter, so he turned around and went into the kitchen to work.

After more than an hour of slow simmering and careful boiling, he put the pig's trotters in a pot and put them on the table, and the house was instantly filled with fragrance.

Then he walked to the bedroom door, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly, and whispered, "Huihui, eat a little, don't hurt your stomach." ”

Li Hui slept for a while, her spirit recovered, and she didn't let He Zi'an wait too long, as soon as the bedroom was opened, the aroma that came to her face made her swallow her saliva uncontrollably.

He Zi'an turned around intimately and said: "The craftsmanship is not good, bear with me." ”

Li Hui didn't say anything, and came to the table and sat down.

"As soon as I woke up, I suggested drinking some soup to moisten my throat." He Zi'an scooped a bowl and handed it to him.

Her husband has been too enthusiastic in the past two days, Li Hui is very unaccustomed to it, and she frowned as if she was thinking deeply, although it was only a flash.

He Zi'an accurately captured that his heart trembled, and he had to work harder.

"You eat first, I'll go wash the cutting board." In order not to make his wife think too much, he found an excuse to go into the kitchen.

Well? This taste......

As soon as the soup was in her mouth, Li Hui felt familiar, and hurriedly took a few sips, confirming that her dead mother-in-law was good at it, and her eyes were red for a while.

After getting married, even if it is just a quarrel between a young couple, her in-laws will stand by her unconditionally and train He Zi'an to the point that she can't raise her head.

During that time, the family was really happy.

Immediately afterward, she came back to her senses and stood up and scooped a big bowl, thinking that it was two kind old men, who surrounded her and forced her to eat more, grabbing the meat pieces in her hands and gnawing them in her mouth, regardless of the image, letting the tears flow in her eyes.

At this time, in the kitchen, He Zi'an hid behind the door and paid attention to the outside through the gap.

His heart was very sour.
