Chapter 56: The Trouble of Borrowing Grain
Early the next morning, Shen Ruoqing brought the hair flower to Song Feifei.
Song Feifei liked it very much when she saw it, and immediately brought her head flower, she didn't want to take advantage of Shen Ruoqing, so she just stuffed Shen Ruoqing with five cents.
This beautiful head flower made Song Feifei get the attention of almost all the girls in the class, and they all talked around Song Feifei to discuss. After learning that this head flower was brought by Shen Ruoqing, several lovers immediately found Shen Ruoqing.
"I'm sorry, I only have this pair, and I don't have it myself if I give it to Feifei." Shen Ruoqing smiled and declined others. Now it is not allowed to do business in private, giving Song Feifei a pair is friendship, if she sells it to other little girls casually, maybe someone will report her.
However, this also made Shen Ruoqing have some thoughts, it seems that this type of small decoration is very popular with these little girls, and maybe they can do this business in the future.
Seeing that her scenery was all robbed by Song Feifei, Liu Xinyi couldn't bear the unhappiness in her heart, and the resentment towards Shen Ruoqing in her heart deepened.
Final exams ended quickly on this day.
Shen Ruoqing felt that the exam was not bad, the difficulty of the final exam was much less difficult than that of the joint entrance examination, and there was no problem in taking the first place. Looking at Shen Hansong who came out, his face was also relaxed, and it seemed that Shen Hansong was okay in the exam.
"Ruoqing, don't forget to go to the movies together tomorrow!" Song Feifei beckoned to Shen Ruoqing and left the school.
Shen Ruoqing waited for a while, and after the little radish heads at home came out, they walked home together.
"Sister-in-law, you are really good, you taught me the review question last night, and I got the test today." Shen Hansong said.
After the exam, the school will be on vacation, and you can go to get the transcript in a few days.
Shen Ruoqing looked at the expressions of a few little radish heads at home, the expressions of Shen Yue and Shen Hanwu were a little ugly, and Shen Yun's expressions were a little worried, and the expressions of the others were not bad.
Shen Hanwen came over: "Sister-in-law, I finally finished the exam, do we want to celebrate?" Why don't you tell your grandmother, let's have pimple soup at night. ”
Shen Ruoqing thought for a while: "It's not impossible. "She hadn't eaten pimple soup in a long time.
When he got home, before Shen Ruoqing could speak, he found that there were guests at home.
It's Cui Zhaodi who is here.
Cui Zhaodi is here to borrow grain.
The harvest of several nearby production teams was not good, and Wang's mother's family said that there was no food, so she hoped that Mrs. Ji could borrow 200 catties of grain.
Mrs. Ji pulled the elder's face: "I said mother-in-law, every family's food is tight this year, and you have two hundred catties of grain in one mouth, how can our family lend you so much surplus grain, and every household is not enough to eat." ”
Cui Zhaodi didn't eat this, she obviously came prepared: "If you want to say that other people's food is tight, I believe it, but your mother will definitely not." Who doesn't know your son's prowess, I've heard that your mother-in-law has made two new sets of clothes, and even the younger ones in the family have made one set. I used to exchange food for bicycle tickets, but if there is no surplus food at home, dare to do this? Also, you have so many chickens and ducks at home, if you don't have food, dare to raise so many chickens and ducks? Mother-in-law, our family is really short of food, otherwise I wouldn't have opened this mouth with this old face. I don't want it in vain, I borrow and I pay it back, and I will pay you back when it is harvested next summer. ”
Mrs. Ji glanced back at Wang, and the frightened Wang shrank her neck.
This second daughter-in-law really can't keep her mouth shut and says everything. Now Cui Zhaodi is talking about these things, if she doesn't borrow food, isn't she waiting to be poked in the back?
"It's all spread outside, making new clothes is my fourth brother who just changed some expiring cotton tickets and cloth tickets with his colleagues, no need to use in vain, plus our cotton jackets have not been replaced for many years, and the old ones are not warm for a long time. The family has a large population, and only a few small ones can be replaced, and the adults have no share. Just because there are still a few chickens and ducks, the food is tight, but pointing to the chicken butt bank for some family. There is really no surplus food at home, but you have come to the door of your in-laws, and I can only grit my teeth and give you some of them, but two hundred catties is definitely not so much, and there are so many people in the family, so I can only borrow twenty catties of sweet potatoes. ”
"Twenty pounds of sweet potatoes? What's going on? Mother-in-law, your family can afford to exchange fine grains for tickets, so take twenty catties of sweet potatoes to send me? How can there be such a reason. ”
"Mom, you can borrow some food from my mother, don't we still have food at home? I've seen it all in the cellar, so I'll just borrow some. Wang shrank his head and whispered.
"What bread! You don't know how many catties of grain you got in the autumn harvest? Mrs. Ji glared at the Wang family fiercely, this Wang family, if she dared to say that she would exchange her household vegetables for food, she would let the second child divorce her! Also, when did she dare to go to the cellar to see the grain?
"In-laws, you see that my daughter has said that you have food at home, and it is not appropriate to fool me with twenty catties of sweet potatoes, right?" Cui Zhaodi had an expression of victory.
"Aunt Cui, are you a landlord and an old man in our family? Where did you get so much food? Okay, Aunt Cui, you don't believe me, come, follow me to see, I'll take you to our cellar to see. Shen Ruoqing immediately walked to the cellar, and she had the key to the cellar.
"Good baby!" Mrs. Ji shouted and followed.
Cui Zhaodi looked at Shen Ruoqing suspiciously, opened the lock, and got in alone.
"Why don't you come in? Come in and take a look. Shen Ruoqing turned around and said again.
"Just take a look!" Cui Zhaodi felt that her daughter would not lie to herself, although she didn't know where the Shen family got the food, but the Wang family said that if there is, then there must be.
As a result, all the people who came in were dumbfounded, there was grain in the cellar, but all of them were coarse grains, and the number was not very large, and the cornmeal was only twenty or thirty catties.
"Where did the food go?" Wang screamed.
Mrs. Ji was also shocked for a moment, but she immediately adjusted her emotions, she thought that Shen Ruoqing must have hidden the grain in advance: "Mother-in-law, I said that our family has no surplus food, do you believe it now?" I also know that your family is also in difficulty. In this way, I will lend you thirty catties of sweet potatoes, which can not be more, and you have also seen what kind of situation our family is like. I will have to rely on this grain until next summer's harvest. ”
"Even if it's like this, thirty catties of sweet potatoes is too little......" Cui Zhaodi gritted her teeth, she was unwilling to get as long as thirty catties of sweet potatoes.
Mrs. Ji's face sank: "Then what else do you want?" You have also seen the situation in our family, it is all superficial scenery, and the thirty catties of food are still what my wife tightens her belt and is ready to save from the mouths of the family, don't just send it away! ”
Cui Zhaodi had no choice but to take thirty catties of sweet potatoes and leave the Shen family.
"Mom, is there really no food to eat in our family?" Du Shi became uneasy.
"The last time I saw a lot of cornmeal here, why is that all there is left?" Wang muttered, she couldn't be mistaken.
