Chapter 48
When Chen Shouxing came back from buying food, the sun was already in the west, and Mrs. Chen was shouting to He to cook.
Wang Hongmei and Li Fatya sat in the yard and seeded cotton.
Chen Shouxing moved all the grain on the donkey cart into the house, paid for the cart, and then turned around and went back to the house.
When Zhao Miaomiao saw him coming back, she handed him the big handkerchief wrung out on the basin.
Chen Shouxing wiped his face and said, "Daughter-in-law, shall we buy a donkey cart?" ”
Zhao Miaomiao thought about it, Xianggong had to take a car every time he went to the county to write a letter, and it was convenient to buy a donkey cart at home, "Okay." ”
Chen Shouxing hooked his lips and smiled, reached out to hug her thin waist, and said softly, "When I came back, I saw my father and a few of them picking up food, and they were so tired that they were panting on the side of the road to rest." ”
Zhao Miaomiao's brows furrowed, her father-in-law wanted to pick the family's wheat to the town to exchange for corn, and they had to run back and forth several times!
Chen Shouxing continued, "I thought that the donkey cart is not expensive, if we have the money in hand, we can buy a donkey cart, and in the future, the family will not have to rely on everything to pick by ourselves, I am tired and panicked!" I don't have to spend money to go back and forth to the county. ”
Zhao Miaomiao nodded and replied, "We still have more than one or two silver left in our hands, if we buy a donkey cart, we will start with the dowry ......."
How can the money to buy a donkey move the dowry of the daughter-in-law, Chen Shouxing twisted his eyebrows and said, "Daughter-in-law, the donkey cart is not in a hurry, if you buy a donkey, the wooden cart will not be able to do well for a while, and it will not be too late to wait for ten days, and it will not be too late to collect the house money for next month." ”
A donkey is about one tael of silver, and if you count the money of the wooden cart, it is only about two taels of silver.
Zhao Miaomiao shook her head and said, "You don't have to wait for the house money to be collected, I will take the embroidery work in two days and hand it over, and I will have silver." ”
Chen Shouxing listened and said with a smile, "Then I'll go to the carpenter tomorrow to order a wooden car." ”
Zhao Miaomiao answered.
In the blink of an eye, two days later, handing over the fat son to Mrs. Chen, Zhao Miaomiao went out with Chen Shouxing with her things, sat in the ox cart at the entrance of the village, and got off after arriving at the gate of the county seat.
After they went to the embroidery shop and handed over the embroidery work, they then went to the cattle and donkey market, where there were shouts and shouts, and there were people selling cows, donkeys, mules and horses.
A big ox costs eight taels of silver, a thinner one costs six taels, and a mule costs seven taels.
They bought a donkey for a couple of dollars, and went to the carpenter, and got the wagon, and paid the rest of his wages.
After setting up the donkey cart, Zhao Miaomiao sat on the donkey cart, Chen Shouxing waved his braid to drive the donkey, and when he got home, he stepped into the courtyard door and saw the scene in front of him.
Mrs. Chen is rare and chubby, kissing and hugging, and shouted vigorously, "Grandma's good grandson is really blessed, look at how round this head is, at first glance he is as smart as his father, this eye is turning around, at a glance it is a clever ......"
Wang Hongmei and Li Fatya should go along with it.
"This face is as white and soft as a bun, it looks different from the children in our village, and it will definitely be a promising and happy person in the future!"
"Look at this little hand, the little toe is fleshy, and he will definitely catch money in the future."
The little fat dun was kissed with a stunned face, his little eyes blinked, looking at the little meat hands that were pinched and pinched, and the little meat hands that were bitten.
Rui Rui's little feet silently moved back and again.
Zhao Miaomiao couldn't cry or laugh, looking at the eldest son's frightened eyes, and the younger son who was praised by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Chen Shouxing twitched the corners of his mouth and shouted, "Mother! ”
Zhao Miaomiao squatted down, smiled and stretched out her hand to the little fat dun, and the little guy immediately threw herself into her arms with tears in her eyes.
Mrs. Chen kept looking at the little chubby dun, and replied lightly, "Hmm." ”
Chen Shouxing coughed and said, "Mother, I bought a donkey cart with Miao Miao......"
!!!
Mrs. Chen raised her eyes suddenly, looked at him and said, "What donkey cart?" Did you buy a donkey cart with Miao Miao? ”
Chen Shouxing smiled and nodded.
Wang Hongmei and Li Fatya glanced at each other, their eyes were shocked, the little uncle bought a donkey cart!
Mrs. Chen raised her hand and was about to hit her son, "You bastard, what kind of donkey cart do you buy?" Waste the money! He also said that he was short of money, and he didn't know how to save a little, Rui Ruinian ......"
almost leaked her mouth, she immediately changed her tone and scolded, "Rui Rui is not young anymore, you hoard more silver, and spend money indiscriminately!" ”
Wang Hongmei/Li Fatya: Isn't Rui Rui only five years old? Isn't it young?
Chen Shouxing was prepared, and pressed his mother's hand and said, "Mother, you heard my son say, after buying a donkey cart, they don't have to be so tired, they don't have to carry the burden to exchange food, what is easier to do in summer and autumn, and it is convenient to go to the town wherever you go." ”
Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows, of course she knew this, but she could save money by working hard, and the youngest son also said that Rui Rui was studying, and she spent money to buy a donkey cart, she was worried!
scolded angrily, "What hard work? How many families in this village don't live like this, it's convenient to fart? How far can we go? How many times to go out? You're going to waste the money and kill your wife!" ”
Chen Shouxing stretched out his hand to give her a smooth breath and said, "Mother, they are them, I have silver, so naturally I want to make my father and mother live more comfortably!" ”
The son is filial, Mrs. Chen's heart is warm, but it is related to her grandson's study, how can she be comfortable, she continued to scold him by the ear, "You have fart silver, like you, what will Rui Rui do in the future, I still want to ...... Fart! ”
Three or two times to mention Rui Rui, Chen Shouxing understood, his mother was afraid that he would spend all the money, Rui Rui had no money to study, and suddenly cried and laughed, "Mother, don't worry, the silver is enough, otherwise Miao Miao can give me money to buy a donkey cart?" ”
Mrs. Chen was silent, no matter how filial Miao Miao was, it was unlikely that she would take the money from Rui Rui's study to buy a donkey cart, and she believed him a little in her heart.
I still feel sorry for the silver, this is from the youngest son's own family, and I chattered, "I can't buy a donkey cart, I can save a little more ......"
Chen Shouxing sighed helplessly.
The corners of Zhao Miaomiao's mouth hooked up and smiled, "Mother, with this donkey, Xianggong went to the county to write a letter to save money for the car, and if this donkey is not used, it can be sold instead, what is the waste of silver." ”
Mrs. Chen blinked, as if this was the reason! This is definitely not the old lady's stupidity, it is the younger son who usually spends money indiscriminately and misleads her!
Zhao Miaomiao and Chen Shouxing looked at each other and smiled.
Mrs. Chen frowned again and said, "After buying a donkey cart, can you two still embezzle the money?" ”
Naturally, the family can afford to buy a donkey cart, but the peasant family eats by watching the sky and does not leave more silver, how can it be done!
Zhao Miaomiao nodded her head and said, "Mother, it's enough!" Don't worry about us, you and your father-in-law just take care of your health. ”
Wang Hongmei and Li Fatya are very happy, although it is the uncle's donkey cart, but before they split up, isn't it just that everyone uses it together!
In the evening, everyone in the Chen family knew that Chen Shouxing had bought a donkey cart, and they all had smiles on their faces.
The children of the family looked around the grass and donkeys, and they were feeding with corn stalks.
