Several aunts' faces were stunned when they heard this.

With my mother's surname?

Isn't this a denial of ancestors?

If you let the old Su family know, you can't point to the backbone of the grass and scold?!

Sister-in-law Cao didn't say anything, she glanced at Lu Qingcao silently, and her heart turned over for a while.

There are only five girls in Cao San's sister-in-law's family, she is the youngest one, and her parents have been chasing her all her life, but she has never given birth to a son.

Since she was a child, her mother was scolded by her grandmother, saying that she had cut off the Cao family's incense.

She has never understood why she cut off the incense when she gave birth to a daughter, aren't all children born to women?

It wasn't until after getting married that Cao's third sister-in-law understood.

No matter how many children a daughter has born, whether it is male or female, it is all people's family, and they have other people's surnames.

But......

Looking at Lu Qingcao, who was calm, Cao's third sister-in-law's heart was shaken.

The child can have the same surname as the mother!?

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and the thatched house of Wang Er's family was hot, and it gradually became impossible to stay with people.

The tofu in the gauze had already taken shape, and with the help of a few people, the amount of tofu was twice as much as usual, and the time was shortened by half an hour.

Sure enough, the money spent is different.

The temperature was too high, and Lu Qingcao was afraid that the tofu would be bad, so he soaked the tofu in cold water, wrapped it one by one, and loaded it into an ox cart.

Several aunts in the courtyard looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Sister-in-law Li saw that her hands were empty, and hurriedly said, "We grind tomorrow's beans." ”

"I'm going to burn firewood." The remaining two aunts also said.

Lu Qingcao smiled: "Auntie, tomorrow's work will be done tomorrow, tofu can't be put away, it won't taste good if it is left overnight." Today ends early, there is no lunch, and one of you takes a piece of tofu home, which is today's salary. ”

A few aunts were a little embarrassed.

said that the salary is 20 yuan a day, how many hours has it been?

This money is hot to hold!

You won't want them tomorrow, will you?

Several people quietly looked at Lu Qingcao's face.

I saw Lu Qingcao boldly take out 100 yuan and give 20 yuan to each person, and when it came to Cao San's sister-in-law, she gave 20 more yuan: "Third sister-in-law, you help me recruit so many people, this is a hard work." ”

Cao's third sister-in-law repeatedly refused, but in the end, she couldn't accept it.

"Everyone has worked hard today, tomorrow will be the same time, everyone will come on time." Lu Qingcao said with a smile.

The big stone in the hearts of several people was put down.

Holding the heavy twenty cents, they were extremely excited.

I only worked for two or three hours, and I actually got twenty dollars! I also gave a big piece of tofu!

You can't find such a good errand with a lantern!

Looking at the back of Lu Qingcao pulling the ox cart, the three aunts secretly decided in their hearts.

In the future, I will work hard here, be diligent with my hands and feet, and never talk too much.

——

At the door of Tianxiang Building, Shopkeeper Sun stretched his neck and guarded the door.

On the first day of delivering tofu today, he didn't dare to slack off, and he began to squat before the end of the day.

The ox cart slowly came from the intersection, and the shopkeeper Sun's hanging heart was put down, and he immediately walked up: "Miss Lu, you are here." ”

Lu Qingcao moved the bucket out of the car and counted them one by one: "This is two hundred catties of tofu, and twenty catties of chili oil, a total of three taels of silver." ”

Shopkeeper Sun replied one by one that the weight was only a lot more than what Lu Qingcao said, and he paid the money quickly.

Three, two, two or two coins of silver are not too much, and they are not too much to say less, which is the ration of ordinary people for two years.

Lu Qingcao carried the silver and decided to buy something.

always borrowed the oxcart of Cao San's sister-in-law's house, firstly, to accumulate personal debts, and secondly, it was inconvenient to borrow and repay them.

The first stop is to buy an ox cart.

After sparing two laps, Lu Qingcao bought a sturdy ox, bought some rice and wheat, and drove the ox cart back to the village.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, the long-tongued women began to speak sourly again.

"Grass, whose oxcart is it?" An annoying voice sounded, followed by a surprising sour word.

"It can't be someone else, right? This cow is so strong, no matter how you say it, it costs a tael of silver, and the relationship is not shallow. ”

The sour tone almost made people sour.

There are also people who keep their heads down and don't dare to talk more.

When Widow Zhang saw the ox cart, her heart was even more jealous.

They are all widows, Lu Qingcao also has three children, why is she living so well?

"I don't know which wild man bought it, I'm dirty." Widow Zhang's face was full of disgust.

There was silence in the air.

Lu Qingcao scolded back directly: "Widow Zhang, are you itchy again?" Itchy skin let Mao San scratch you, and don't spray feces all over your mouth. ”

At the mention of Mao San, the other women burst into laughter.

The matter between the two became a tacit secret in the village, and from time to time it was taken out to make fun of Widow Zhang.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about?" Widow Zhang's face was flushed, but she couldn't tell anything.

Lu Qingcao was not used to her, and deliberately gloated: "You have to hurry, I heard that Mao San fell in love with the widow Wang in the next village, she is young and capable, and she only brings a girl, don't be robbed of a man." ”

Another knife stabbed past, Widow Zhang vomited blood angrily, and wanted to plug Lu Qingcao's mouth.

Lu Qingcao led the ox cart and walked slowly home.

Widow Zhang went crazy angrily, but she couldn't make the fire, so she could only roar in a low voice.

"I've heard people say, what is Lu Qingcao selling in the town...... Tofu, business is good. One of the aunts spoke.

The aunt next to her also nodded: "I also heard about it, it seems that there are still spicy ......"

"Really? What tofu, I haven't heard of it. ”

"I don't know, I heard from my niece and daughter-in-law who lives in the town."

"That is, you are stupid, believe her nonsense, and sell tofu, I think it is selling skin and meat." Widow Zhang cursed for a while, eager to tear Lu Qingcao apart.

When everyone heard this, they didn't speak, and they left with strange expressions.

Within two days, the news that Lu Qingcao had made money from doing business spread throughout the village.

——

For three days in a row, Zhao Hehua lay in bed and didn't eat anything.

Tian Xiao'e delivered food, but every time she came, she put the food next to the bed and left without asking.

Zhao Hehua couldn't move in pain, and naturally couldn't hold the bowl.

"The old lady has only rested for two or three days, and I am dead? Wait until I'm okay and see how I hit you! Zhao Hehua kept scolding, and her voice was earth-shattering.

Su Xiaofang held the bowl and quietly glanced at it, then lowered her head and ate again.

When grandma was on the table, she could only squat in the stove room to eat, and now she can finally serve the table.

The dishes on the table were still the same, and Su Xiaofang had the courage to pick up a large piece of pickles.

The reproach did not sound, and she felt a lot more relieved.

Zhao Hehua's illness relieved everyone.

Except for Su Jiabao.

"Grandma...... Grandmother...... I want grandma! Su Jiabao sat on a small square stool, holding an egg in his hand, and shouted inarticulately.

The yolk of the egg was crushed by him and spilled on the ground.

Tian Xiao'e picked up the egg yolk distressedly, and the chopsticks were pumped on the child's hand: "You kid, the eggs are all crushed!" She kept shoving the yolk into her mouth.

Su Jiabao's swarthy little hands immediately had two red marks, and he cried even more.

Su Dazhuang buried his head in the rice, deaf to the things on the table, the scolding in the room was loud, and he occasionally cast his afterglow into the house: "What is my mother shouting?" ”

Tian Xiao'e was worried in her heart, but she was a little hard: "Shouting to let people feed her, Jiabao doesn't have to let her be fed, who will feed her?" Love to eat or not. ”

Su Dazhuang opened his mouth and buried his head in the rice bowl again.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Su Jiabao flattened his mouth and began to eat eggs obediently.

"Da Zhuang, I heard that Lu Qingcao made money selling beans, so he bought an ox cart." Tian Xiao'e went to wash clothes in the morning and heard people in the village chewing on the root of their tongues.

She didn't listen to it all, she listened half of it in a daze, and she could only learn half of it.

Su Dazhuang put down the dishes and chopsticks, and his cheeks were stuffed: "How much silver can you earn by selling beans?" Buying an oxcart so soon? They must be talking nonsense again. ”

Tian Xiao'e was blocked back, thought for a moment and echoed: "It should be, I heard that it has only been sold for less than ten days, how can it be possible to buy an ox cart, it must be that they are talking nonsense." ”

Su Xiaofang's eyes rolled, she also heard about this, saying that the second aunt's family not only bought an ox cart, but also bought a cart of rice noodles and pork!

Speaking of pork, Su Xiaofang couldn't help drooling.

To be able to eat a bite of pork during the Chinese New Year is really willing to die.

Why can they eat it on weekdays?

Lu Erli's face was satisfied with eating meat in her mind, and Su Xiaofang couldn't wait to go to the pot table immediately.

The table fell silent, and several people chewed sorghum rice in twos and threes, thinking about their own thoughts.
