The next day, the Xiao brothers and sisters warmed up some leftovers from last night, and after eating, they both walked towards the school.

Although the two are in the same direction, their destinations are different - Xiao Xiuye naturally went to school, while Xiao Zhengping went to the brigade supply and marketing cooperative.

Xiao Zhengping wanted to leave the remaining two cents last night to Xiuye, but Xiuye never took it, saying that the subsidy in the township was enough, so Xiao Zhengping would keep this money.

Originally, Xiao Zhengping planned to hide it in Xiuye's books, but after some thought last night, this morning, he decided that the money had to be spent.

Xiao Xiuye asked Xiao Zhengping if he planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, so he didn't say much, "The money is his, how he spends it doesn't matter to me!" ”

Although she thought so in her heart, after separating at the school gate, Xiao Xiuye still hid aside and quietly observed.

Xiao Zhengping is a frequent visitor to the brigade supply and marketing cooperative, but this frequent customer is very unpopular with the salesman Li Shuiquan.

"Pingzi, you're really not dead? Yesterday morning I saw Guixi beating me here behind your back, and I thought you were dead! At that time, I thought, if you die, who should you go to for my credit account, you can't go to Xiuye! The merchant's face was full of schadenfreude.

Li Shuiquan, a merchant and a merchant of Li Shuiquan, is Xiao Zhengping's distant uncle, who joined the Zhangshuya brigade, and is no one big or small in the team. Whenever someone asked him why he came all the way to this poverty, he always smiled and said: "Feng Shui is good here."

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll pay you back when the tobacco leaves are sold out this year." Xiao Zhengping is not annoyed, he is at fault first, others just say a few words, which is already very polite.

"Your land is gone, where did you get the tobacco? I heard you sold mushrooms yesterday, where's the money? ”

Xiao Zhengping took the two cents in his hand and said with a smile: "The money is here, but this money can't be used to pay off the debt." ”

"Why are you coming to me if you don't pay the bill? I can tell you, we don't take any credit! ”

"Uncle, I won't take credit today, I'll buy it! A bottle of Pingshan Daqu, half a catty of brown sugar. ”

Li Shuiquan didn't move, but looked at Xiao Zhengping suspiciously.

"What do you mean? Why can't I figure it out? ”

Xiao Zhengping counted out a dollar and put it on the counter, "It means that I won't buy anything here on credit in the future, and I promise to pay it back when the tobacco leaves are sold out!" ”

The credit of the supply and marketing cooperative, Xiao Zhengping has been owed for almost a whole year, and when he came back, he said that he would pay it back next time, seeing that a year had passed, Xiao Zhengping's credit had not only not been repaid, but he was also getting more and more credit - no way, Xiao Zhengping's kung fu team was obvious to all.

But today, Li Shuiquan felt a little abnormal, he found that when Xiao Zhengping said that he wanted to repay the money, his tone was much calmer, and his eyes were not as wandering as before.

Li Shuiquan sighed, changed his embarrassed expression and said seriously: "Pingzi, it's difficult for me, go back to the hometown to check the accounts, I used my own money to cushion it, I also have babies at home, and I have to provide them with food." ”

Xiao Zhengping blushed when he heard this, Li Xianglang, who was famous for his second face, could talk to him like this, and he was forced to have no choice.

"Uncle, don't worry, this time I have made up my mind, I will never mix again in the future, I swear to you, if the tobacco leaves are not sold out, I Xiao Zhengping will not die well!"

This kind of oath, Xiao Zhengping not only issued it more than once here with Li Shuiquan, but also from his eldest uncle and second uncle, Li Shuiquan naturally wouldn't believe it. But looking at Xiao Zhengping's solemn face, he didn't know why, he felt that he could still believe this kid once.

Li Shuiquan took the money on the counter, and after giving him Xiao Zhengping's things, he was about to make change, when he suddenly remembered something, "This change~~"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xiao Zhengping quickly snatched the six cents that Li Shuiquan had already held in his hand, "The account is the account, the money is the money, uncle, I still point to these money to the cubs!" Don't worry, as soon as the tobacco leaves are sold out, I will guarantee to pay off the bill here! ”

Li Shuiquan watched Xiao Zhengping run away in a daze, and spit out angrily: "Don't worry!" My fart heart! ”

Xiao Zhengping ran out of the supply and marketing cooperatives with wine and brown sugar and was in full view of Xiao Xiuye, originally after last night, she had recovered a glimmer of hope for this street slick brother, but after seeing the bottle of wine, her heart sank to the bottom again.

Sighing, Xiao Xiuye shook her head and walked towards the classroom, although she will go to work in the supply and marketing cooperatives after graduation, she still has to go all out in the graduation exam, she wants to comfort those who care about her with the best results, as well as the souls of her parents in the sky.

Xiao Zhengping didn't notice Xiao Xiuye, and after walking straight through the school, he walked in the direction of Houyin Mountain.

-------

Xiao Kunguo is an old tobacco farmer, in his own words, in the past, when he was a long-term worker, he began to develop (plant) tobacco, the whole camphor tree, which piece of land can grow good tobacco in which year, he knows clearly.

Many people in the team were skeptical about this, because Xiao Kunguo's family background was not good in the team, and his cigarettes did not sell for a few yuan more than others.

However, Xiao Kunguo's flue-cured tobacco skills are recognized by the team, and it is also a stove of smoke, Xiao Kunguo was stunned when he roasted it with less than other people's firewood, and he never burned through the stove.

Despite this, sitting by the hot stove, the old man was still so worried that he couldn't do it - the cigarette had to be moistened, otherwise he wouldn't be able to tie it.

"Hey, when will it rain!"

"Uncle, hasn't the smoke come down yet?"

Xiao Kunguo was originally talking to himself, but a voice came out of the cold, startling him.

"Don't you see the fire burning, it's already a kang!" Seeing Xiao Zhengping, Xiao Kunguo was angry, the third of the three brothers, the most promising, how could he give birth to such a thing!

"Then I'll help you tie it tomorrow." Xiao Zhengping knew that the three cousins of the uncle's family were all married away from home, and now the uncle was the only one in the serious labor force in the family.

"It's dry, don't worry." As he spoke, Xiao Kunguo saw the wine bottle in Xiao Zhengping's hand, "What do you mean by this?" ”

On the way here, Xiao Zhengping's heart kept hanging in the air, because he knew that he couldn't please his uncle today, not only could he not please him, but he might also have to be slapped twice. Although he was mentally prepared, when he thought of his aunt's scolding appearance and his uncle's dry but powerful hands, his heart was still so weak that he almost forgot the gift he gave to his uncle.

"I don't come to visit my uncle, I'll give you something today, it's my nephew's filial piety." A normal compliment, Xiao Zheng's ears are red.

Xiao Kunguo put his hands behind his back, stared at Xiao Zhengping with a dark face, and asked, "This is what you bought with the money you sold yesterday?" ”

Xiao Zhengping nodded.

"You have the money to buy me wine, why don't you want to change Ye Ertao's clothes? When you arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, did you still let her wear that? ”

Xiao Kunguo's voice was not loud, but his tone was very heavy, and every word smashed into Xiao Zhengping's chest like a hammer.

"Puff~"

Xiao Zhengping landed on his knees and knelt in front of Xiao Kunguo.

"Uncle, I came today to ask you to help me, I don't want Ye'er to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, I want her to go to high school, and in the future, I want her to go to college!"
