But Liu Dongju doesn't think so.

If Liu Xing hadn't taken good care of the black calf, how could this black calf carry one or two hundred catties of river snails, and Liu Xing would go to the city.

When she thought of this, she couldn't admire it.

I remember that he also herded cattle when he was a child.

But to do something like Liu Xing, I'm afraid that I don't dare to think about it in my dreams.

Because buffaloes are so large, they can get hurt if they are not careful.

"By the way, Mom, I came back today to ask you for something. Liu Dongju saw that the melon seeds ran out to play with Xiao Budian, and there was no one in the kitchen, so he whispered at the moment.

"Don't say it so ugly, if you can help, mom will try to help, if you can't help, don't blame me. Zhou Qiuxiang replied with a smile.

"I know that when I came back this time, I had already separated from my mother-in-law and father-in-law. Liu Dongju spoke softly, her voice a little hoarse.

Obviously, the result of this separation is very unsatisfactory.

Zhou Qiuxiang was stunned when she heard this, and after coming back to her senses, she sighed lightly and said, "There is no food at home, or did you quarrel with Dongkui?"

Dongkui is the name of Liu Dongju's husband, and his full name is Zhao Dongkui.

As soon as she heard the word Dongkui, the smile on her face disappeared: "Mom, I still have food at home, enough to eat for two or three months, but when the family was separated, my mother-in-law gave all the ploughing cattle to Zhao Wuliang, and I took every share." ”

Zhao Wuliang is Zhao Dongkui's younger brother, and he is currently the fifth oldest in the family, and he is the full cub in the family.

"Ah, how can she do this, then what should you do when your family is plowing the land?"

Zhou Qiuxiang's brows furrowed, this is not clear that he is bullying people!

In the countryside, if the farmer does not have cattle, it is worse than being called Hanako, and there is no place to beg for food.

"I didn't know what to do before, but now I want to borrow a black calf to plow the land, can I do it?" asked Liu Dongju timidly.

"Okay, but I have to find your brother, he agreed that no one in our family has an opinion, because the black calf is feeding him, and no one else is qualified to speak. When Zhou Qiuxiang heard that Liu Dongju was here to borrow cattle, she breathed a sigh of relief and had a smile on her face.

"Then I'll go find him later. Liu Dongju's hanging heart also relaxed.

"That's right, Mom. Liu Dongju looked at Zhou Qiuxiang: "I still want to borrow ten yuan from you to repay the money of the favorites, do you have it?"

"Find your brother to ask for it, this kid just sold the river snail, maybe there are dozens of yuan on his body!" Zhou Qiuxiang was stunned for a moment, and then said.

There is no way, if her daughter doesn't care, then she will be the one who will lose face.

"Why do you have to find Liu Xing for everything!You parents are too comfortable!" Liu Dongju couldn't help but complain.

"How do you speak!" Zhou Qiuxiang glanced at Liu Dongju, but the smile on her face became even bigger: "Liu Xing has this ability to make money, so you naturally want to go to him." ”

"That's right. Liu Dongju nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Liu Xingguan Niu came back and went to the hall to rest, he quickly stopped chatting and rolled up his sleeves to help make braised pork.

Xiao Budian, who was playing outside, smelled the smell of meat, and hurriedly ran in: "Ma Ma, why is grandma's food so fragrant?"

"Because my mother makes braised pork. Liu Dongju replied with a smile.

"What's the meat?" Xiao Budian tilted his little head, looking puzzled.

It is clear that from birth to the present, she did not know the taste of meat.

When Zhou Qiuxiang heard this, she shook her head distressedly: "It's just something delicious, you will know later." ”

"Yes, get out first. Liu Dongju was also a little uncomfortable.

However, she swore in her heart that when she made money, she would not let Xiao Bu suffer and suffer.

Certain.

......

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. Liu Dongju brought a large bowl of steaming taro pork ribs to the table.

At the dining table, Liu Ye, melon seeds, and Xiao Budian had already eaten, their mouths were full of oil, and their stomachs were propped up and they refused to put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Liu Xing didn't serve the table and was taking a shower in the backyard to change clothes.

Hearing the shout of the eldest sister, she smiled and hurriedly walked to the dining table.

Seeing that Xiao Bu was about to choke on food, he hurriedly reached out and patted his back: "You slow down, it's enough to braised pork at your uncle's house." ”

"I don't go back to that nest, I eat meat every day. ”

"That's right. ”

Xiao Budian said vaguely.

"Okay, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it. Liu Xing smiled.

"You kid, you don't need money to eat meat!" Liu Dongju said and glanced at the opposite room: "Is Dad asleep, do you want me to call him?"

"No, he had already eaten at Wang Dazhu's house, didn't you see the smell of wine on his body?" Zhou Qiuxiang reminded.

"Yes. Liu Dongju hurriedly served Liu Xing with rice, and then sat next to Xiao Budian and ate.

Liu Ye was afraid that the eldest sister would train him later, so he walked to the door to eat with his rice bowl.

Liu Ziran glanced at Zhou Qiuxiang, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Mom, the school has to pay for school uniforms, I told you last week, you see if it's time to give it to me." ”

Zhou Qiuxiang didn't speak when she heard this, but glanced at Liu Ziran and didn't have any follow-up.

Obviously, she had no money on her.

If you had money, it wouldn't be like this.

Liu Xing saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand: "Second sister, how much does the school uniform cost!"

"Eight pieces. Liu Ziran lowered his head.

It's not that she's afraid of Liu Xing, but the number of eight yuan is almost a huge amount of money in this family.

"Give. Liu Xing took out ten yuan from his body and put it in front of Liu Ziran, then picked up his rice bowl and continued to eat.

"Brother, I'm talking about eight yuan, why are you giving me ten yuan?" Liu Ziran was a little panicked, she was afraid that her mother would be angry, and she would not even be qualified to study later.

After all, in order to provide her with education, her mother hid Liu Xing's opportunity to go to high school, and only she and her mother knew about this matter in the whole family, and every time she thought of it, she felt guilty.

"The extra two yuan is your pocket money, second sister, you are too careful. Liu Xing replied with a smile.

"I don't want to. Liu Ziran hurriedly took out two yuan and handed it to Liu Xing.

Liu Xing didn't answer and ignored it directly.

The second sister is the most obedient one at home, because she reads a lot of books and is also the most rational one.

At school, because the family had no money and dressed plainly, he was often laughed at by other classmates, and now that he has the ability to change all this, he naturally won't miss it.

"If you are told to take it, why are you doing so many things?" Zhou Qiuxiang glanced at Liu Ziran, and her tone of voice was a little heavy.

When Liu Cumin heard this, she was moved to cry, she was afraid that the melon seeds would laugh at her, so she took the money and ran into the innermost hut.

The reason why I was moved was because I grew so big and had pocket money for the first time.

"This kid. Zhou Qiuxiang shook her head.

Xiao Budian and melon seeds were also a little confused, and after glancing at each other, they hurriedly climbed off the stool and went to find Liu Ziran with their rice bowls.

For a while, there were only three people left at the dinner table: Liu Xing, Liu Dongju, and Zhou Qiuxiang.

"Eat, eat. Zhou Qiuxiang sandwiched a piece of braised pork for Liu Xing.

"Mom, you can eat it too!" Liu Xing gave the braised pork in the bowl to his mother again.

Seeing that her mother's eyes were red, she put down her chopsticks: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, there's a bug in my eye. Zhou Qiuxiang reached out and wiped her eyes.

"I see you're happy. Liu Dongju said.

"Get out of the way. Zhou Qiuxiang originally wanted to scold Liu Dongju, but in the end she laughed out loud and laughed very happily.

Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and he finished the rice in the bowl in three or two bites: "Eldest sister, did you go back to your parents' house this time to borrow cattle to plow the land!"

"How do you know?" Liu Dongju was surprised.

Even the people in their village rarely know about the separation of his family from his mother-in-law and father-in-law, so how could Liu Xing know about it this time, it was really a strange thing.

"I've heard that!" Liu Xing said perfunctorily with a smile.

In fact, he knew according to the memory of rebirth, in 82 years, his sister and mother-in-law and father-in-law separated the family, because they did not get the ploughing cow, it was bullied, and later although there was a black calf to solve the urgent need, but the life of the sister's family was still not good.

even had thoughts of suicide at one point.

If it weren't for the fact that I was worried about the little ones.

I'm afraid that the eldest sister will no longer be in this world.

Now that he is a living person, he naturally will not let such a thing happen.

Of course, the reason why the eldest sister's parents-in-law treated the eldest sister like this was entirely because the eldest sister gave birth to a girl in her first child and did not give them a boy to pass on the lineage. If this were to be put in a few decades, it would have been treated as a joke.

However, in the countryside of the 80s, this is a common now, and there is a general patriarchal mentality.

The eldest sister's parents-in-law naturally have this kind of thought, and it is very strong.

For the eldest sister who didn't give birth to a boy, it was all kinds of difficulties, so she almost didn't scold her face-to-face.

However, brother-in-law Zhao Dongkui is not such a person, and he has been trying his best to protect his eldest sister.

This embarrassing situation did not get better until the eldest sister gave birth to a boy in eighty-five years.

Thinking of the inside story here, Liu Xing was embarrassed.

Seeing that the eldest sister Liu Dongju's face was very ugly, as if she was afraid that he would expose it at home, she hurriedly put aside the topic: "Sister, if you want to borrow the black calf, you can borrow it at any time, but the premise is that you have to tell me, because I still have to rely on the black calf as a means of transportation to make money!"

"Yes. Liu Dongju smiled at Liu Xing's thoughtfulness: "Is the conch so easy to sell?"

"Yes, I sold it for almost fifty dollars today. Liu Xing replied.

The reason why he concealed more than a dozen yuan was because he wanted to keep money to do something useful.

"How much?" Liu Dongju thought he had misheard.

Now that he is working in a state-owned enterprise for only thirty or forty yuan a month, Liu Xing earns fifty yuan by selling a conch once, isn't this a dream!

If it were true, it would be incredible.

No wonder this kid is buying meat and pork ribs again, it turns out that he has found a way to make money.

Liu Xing took out all the money that had been prepared a long time ago and put it in front of his mother: "The money is all here, except for the ten yuan for the second sister, you count." ”

"I can't ask for this money. Zhou Qiuxiang said with some embarrassment.

I took Liu Xing's dozens of yuan before and spent it all at once, if I was taking the money Liu Xing earned, to put it bluntly, I was really a little flustered.
