Chapter 50: Send money

Yu Caidie stroked Xiaocao's hair, and her smile deepened by three points: "Just don't blame my sister. Take a good rest, and my sister will bring you eggs in sugar water tomorrow."

Sister-in-law is very temperamental, and she is easy to deal with at first glance. I don't know if I will be bullied when I come to my husband's house in the future. How could a person as vicious as Mrs. Zhang raise such a weak and kind daughter as my sister-in-law

Yu Xiaocao said: Could it be the wrong hug? Cough cough... In this day and age, babies are delivered by midwives at home, there is no such thing as wrong or wrong, okay!

Yu Xiaocao teased the little roe deer boredly. This little roe deer is strange to say, it has been raised for a few months, it eats a lot and drinks a lot, and uses Lingshi water to improve it from time to time, why doesn't it grow taller? Still such a small one, it looks cute. However, some people who had the idea of "grow up, kill and eat meat" were very disappointed.

However, as a pet, such a tiny little roe deer is really cute. In addition, the little guy loves cleanliness and is full of spirituality. He never defecates in the house. There is no animal smell on his body, but a faint smell of grass.

Little Shitou always likes to hold it in his arms and takes it with him wherever he goes. The children in the village are all envious of him. Wu Zi, who is the closest to Xiao Shitou, managed to persuade Shitou to lend him the little roe deer to play for two days. The little one will never go with him, even if he hugs him hard, he can always "break out of jail" and come back home.

Once, the door of the house was closed tightly, and the little guy froze in the snow all night, and he almost turned into an ice sculpture in the morning. My heart aches for Xiao Shitou, and I will never be willing to lend Xiao Shitou again in the future.

At this moment, the little roe deer was docilely lying beside the grass, showing no sign of anger at her raging hand on its head, instead sticking out its hot tongue from time to time to lick her hand.

The puppy raised in the previous life loved to lick people more than this guy, Xiaocao didn't think anything of it, but the sky-butting stone on her wrist was not happy: [I said, can you get this guy away, the body of the god stone How can you allow such a lowly beast to defile you?]

Yu Xiaocao ignored it, and put the wrist wearing the multicolored stone on purpose to the little roe deer's mouth. The spiritual energy inadvertently released from the colorful stones surprised the sensitive and clever little roe deer, and they couldn't stop licking them.

[Go away, go away!]The little butian stone exploded again, the golden cat-shaped spirit body flew straight to the head of the little roe deer, grinding its claws non-stop. However, due to insufficient spiritual power, it was difficult to condense into a solid body, and because of his inability to retaliate, he was so angry that his hair exploded into a hedgehog shape.

"Little Tangyuan, little Tangyuan! Why can't you learn to be good? Your current fate is in the hands of your master and me. So, be more respectful and polite to your master! Do you understand?" Yu Xiaocao was also bored. Yes, deliberately teasing the arrogant Butianshi.

[Don't call me Xiaotangyuan! The name is not prestige at all! Please call me Master Shenshi... Wow! Let it go away, it will make Ben Shenshi drool all over, it's so disgusting!]

Xiaobutianshi is a tiger in Pingyang, and there is nothing he can do about the vile humans and weak animals in front of him. If it was in the past, you wouldn't need to move your little finger to handle them!

[Okay! Master, dear master! I admit defeat, you quickly take it away and help me take a bath!]As Nuwa Empress's favorite clean sky-replenishing stone, Xiaotangyuan said that she was defeated by a wicked master.

Little Butianshi bit his handkerchief: Empress Nuwa, your favorite little Shitou is suffering in this unknown space, do you know? Come and save Little Stone!

Although Xiaobutianshi really didn't want to admit it, the name Nuwa Empress gave to it collided with the nickname of the current master's younger brother! This is also the reason why Xiaocao didn't say when Xiaocao asked if it had a name. It is embarrassing for a heavenly god stone to have the same name as a weak human being with a runny nose. (Xiao Shitou protested: I don’t have a runny nose when I’m very young, okay!)

When Yu Xiaocao was so bored that she was about to fall asleep, the door of the west room was pushed open again. A short, fleshy figure dressed like a ball squeezed in through the crack of the door. The little girl in the back kept saying: "Young master, be careful on the threshold, don't fall!"

"Little one! Little one, Doudou wants to play with the little one!" Seeing the little roe deer on the kang, Xiao Doudou's children's shoes hurriedly climbed up the kang. It's a pity that his short legs were not strong enough, and his little hands were on the side of the bed, and he pedaled for a long time, but he failed to achieve his wish.

Xiaocao smiled unscrupulously, and had no intention of helping at all. With tears in her eyes, Xiaodoudou looked at her accusingly.

From the corner of Yu Xiaocao's eyes, she saw another graceful figure coming in from the door, she coughed vigorously, pretended to be weak, and said softly: "Doudo, sister is sick, don't come up here, lest you get sick. You If you like it, take the little one to play with you in the house... "

Before Xiaodoudou could agree, she was interrupted by his mother's coughing: "It's okay, let Doudou and Shitou play on the kang, auntie wants to talk to you."

The little girl bent down and carried the young master onto the kang, and walked out of the west room under Zhao's gesture, and closed the door behind her.

"Xiaocao, yesterday your grandma was in a fit of anger. As daughter-in-laws, how can we disobey her mother-in-law?" Mrs. Zhao sat on the edge of the kang, holding Xiaocao's hand, her tone full of sincerity.

Xiaocao pouted secretly in her heart: Who doesn't know that the most timid old lady is you, Mrs. Zhao. If you fart, even the old lady thinks it is delicious. Yesterday, if Mrs. Zhao wanted to make a little noise in Dongjian, Mrs. Zhang would restrain herself a lot. Auntie, Auntie, you are coaxing the child! (Aren't you just a kid!)

Xiaocao's blank eyes (in fact, she was complaining in her heart), made Mrs. Zhao a little powerless, so she stopped beating around the bush and said directly:

"Xiaocao, your uncle and I are in the town. We have to rent a house, pay for repairs, and buy pens and ink for your uncle. You have to pay for food, drink, and walking. Me and your uncle After saving and saving, I saved up a few taels of silver. How much money did your father borrow from the uncle's house? Take it first and pay it back!"

Yu Xiaocao coughed lightly, expressing "I'm very weak", she lowered her eyes to look at the broken silver in Mrs Zhao's hand, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart: This is really treating others as fools! Mrs. Zhang gives her son and daughter-in-law sufficient living expenses every month. According to Mrs. Li's sour words, the money given to her youngest son for one month is enough to cover half a year's expenses for the family.

In just three years, the couple not only had no worries about food and clothing, but also bought a little girl to take care of them. With the rest of the money, I actually bought a small shop in a slightly side street in the town to do grocery business.

It was claimed to the outside world that the shop was married to the Zhao family! You said it was a dowry, why didn't you bring it with you when you got married, and it was only three years later? How to coax fools!

However, in the face of her aunt's "goodwill", Xiaocao naturally would not expose her, but politely refused: "Auntie, Doudou is still young, and my uncle is going to school again, so you have a lot to spend money on." Thank you, Xiaocao, for your kindness, you should take the money back!"

"Sister, sister! Yinzi, I'll see a doctor for you!" Xiaodoudou crawled over from the top of the kang, grabbed the broken silver in her mother's hand, stuffed it into Xiaocao's hand, and then tried to stand up, leaning her little head against her. forehead. That's what his mother did to the little guy when he was sick.

The child's concern is not discounted in any way. Xiaocao's heart is soft. She squeezed the little boy's chubby face and said softly: "Our Doudou is really good, sister will be fine soon. Wait for the mountain The snow melts, sister goes to the mountains to catch small fish and cook Doudou's favorite fish soup!"

"Good, good!" Xiaodoudou clapped her hands, jumped and shouted on the kang, accidentally tripped over the quilt, fell headfirst on the soft quilt, and groaned for a long time without getting up. It was Xiao Shitou who helped and rescued the little guy.

"Sister, get well soon! Catch fish and cook soup for Doudou!" Little Doudou didn't care about her little butt that was hurting from falling, so she got tired of it and lay down on Xiaocao's quilt, staring at her with big wet eyes. Xiaocao, just like a little roe deer longing for Lingshi water, has a synchronous expression.

"Good, good, good! Make fish soup for Doudou!"

Xiao Doudou, who was guaranteed by Xiaocao, grinned, and her attention was attracted by the little roe deer running nimbly on the kang. He is chubby, on all fours, chasing and playing behind the little roe deer.

Yu Xiaocao handed back the broken silver stuffed by the little guy, and said, "Auntie, although I borrowed a lot of money this time. However, I heard from my father that because of the heavy snow, there is a shortage of prey in the town, and they can be sold." If there is no snow recently, Dad will go to the mountains a few more times, and he will be able to pay back the debt a few years ago. You see, taking the one or two taels of silver to the grandfather will not be able to pay off the debt owed, it is better to sell it. The prey is enough, and one piece is ready."

"What kind of medicine did you prescribe, and how many doses cost more than one or two taels of silver?" Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when she heard that one or two taels of silver was not enough to pay off the debt.

Yu Xiaocao sighed softly, and said: "Doctor Sun said that my health is too poor, and I should take good care of it, but the nutrition can't keep up. So ginseng is added to the medicine, so it's more expensive. He also said that after drinking these medicines, I will ask my father to take me to a follow-up visit, and if I am not healthy, I may continue to drink medicine."

As she said that, she frowned, with a helpless look that she hated taking medicine but had to take it.

After eating these, do you still need to continue to take medicine? No wonder the mother-in-law said that this girl is a medicine jar! Mrs. Zhao withdrew the silver in her hand without a trace, and said in her mouth: "Xiaocao, don't worry about the money, your body is important and you should rest well. I'll go back and discuss with your uncle, can I get some more money? Doudou , let's go back, don't disturb my sister's rest."

"No! Doudou wants to play with the little one!" Doudou was imprisoned for many days due to the heavy snow, and it was rare for Doudou to go out, so she was not willing to go back.

Mrs. Zhao persuaded her a few words, and saw that the little guy was about to cry. As a last resort, Doudou agreed to stay in the Westinghouse, and went back to the house first.
