Chapter 65: old house

Views:

Mrs. Zhang saw Old Yu looking over with complicated eyes, and her heart suddenly jumped, fearing that he would say something that shouldn't be said, she shouted at him at the top of her voice: "No more! That's all! There is no Jinshan at home, How much money can I get after spending more than a dozen taels of medicine money?"

Xiaocao saw that she was just using loud voices to cover up her panic, knowing that the family must have more than this money, but as long as the family can be divided smoothly, she doesn't care about that much. However, she didn't want Mrs. Zhang to treat others as fools, so she said, "It's gone! What are you calling? I don't know, I thought you were guilty!"

"Guilty? Why am I guilty? You damn girl, you know how to talk back all day long. In the morning, I should have sold you..." Mrs. Zhang had a cannibal face. If it weren't for the village chief and her family, she would have He rushed forward and gave Si Nizi a slap in the face.

"The granddaughter of our Yu family, are you going to sell it as soon as you say it?" A strange woman came to the third brother's house in the morning, and it was said that she was the town's matchmaker. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The news that Zhang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are going to sell their twin sisters has spread in the village.

As the eldest brother, Yu Lichun glared angrily, showing the majesty of the boss. However, everyone underestimated the combat effectiveness of this shrew, Mrs. Zhang.

In the end, under Zhang's crying and beating, Xiaocao's family only got two taels of silver. At night, old Yu sat on the kang, clicked his old cigarette pipe, and ignored Zhang's petty flattery.

Mrs. Zhang sighed, and said, "I know you blame me for not sharing the three hundred taels of silver that Zhao Liehu sent. But I'm doing it for our family's good! Pointing at him.

But after all, something happened to him. Now the whole family's hope is pinned on the third child. Doesn't the husband always praise the third child for his hard work? After the scientific examination next year, if he is selected as a scholar, the husband will recommend him to the school of Mr. Yuan, a famous Confucian in the town.

I have inquired about it, and Mr. Yuan is a gifted scholar of the three Yuan Dynasty in the previous dynasty. Our third son, isn't he ordered by a half-immortal to have the ability to raise people? Can't delay! "

Seeing that Lao Yu's face had improved, Mrs. Zhang made persistent efforts and said, "I know that the three hundred taels was exchanged for the second brother's leg. But think about it, if the third son has a good future, how much will it be if the third son earns his official status in the future?" Take care of the second room, or not!"

Old Yu held a cigarette in his mouth, and didn't take a puff for a long time. Finally, he sighed deeply and said, "I'm sorry for Dahai's mother, I didn't take good care of the two children... I was greedy for the money Dahai bought with his life, oh... "

Seeing that the old man was still thinking about that dead ghost, Mrs. Zhang overturned the jar of jealousy in her heart, but because of the three hundred taels of silver, she refrained from arguing with old man Yu. With these three hundred taels of silver in his hand, and the burden of the second child and his family were dismissed, Mrs. Zhang's heart was sweeter than drinking honey.

The family finally got separated as they wished, and my father looked more energetic. The three Yu Xiaocao siblings were happier than New Year's Eve, chattering and laughing non-stop around their parents.

Liu's heart was full of confusion about the future, but seeing the children happy, and being able to be their own masters in the future, and no longer being angry with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the corners of her mouth could not help but evoke a gentle smile.

Yu Hai was moved by this gentle smile back then. It has been so many years, it seems that since he married into their family, he has seen less and less the smile that moved his heart.

Regardless of the children beside him, he quietly took his wife's hand and looked at her with a smile. Liu's face blushed, she struggled slightly, but she didn't let go of her hand, so she let him hold her hand.

Seeing the reserved tenderness between the two, Yu Xiaocao couldn't help but narrow her eyes with a smile. Yu Hai noticed her gaze, and now he had time to take a good look at his beloved daughter: "Cao'er, have you been frightened these days?"

"No, I firmly believe that Daddy will definitely wake up. Daddy will definitely be reluctant to leave us!" Yu Xiaocao obediently sat down beside Daddy, raised her small head and looked back at him.

"Of course! If you survive a catastrophe, there will be future blessings! From now on, our family will get better and better!" Thinking that he would almost never see his family and his clever little daughter, Yu Hai couldn't help holding the child in his arms , reluctant to let go.

Even though she is her own father, Yu Xiaocao is still not used to being hugged by a big man, she broke free lightly and said with a smile: "Father, the medicine on your leg should be changed, let me change it for you!"

Yu Hai's leg was injured so badly that almost the whole leg was torn to shreds by the black bear. If it wasn't for Yu Xiaocao treating him with the small butian stone every day, and washing his wound with Lingshi water every day, I'm afraid the whole leg would have been festered.

Xiaocao gently untied the gauze, and washed off the herbs on her legs with Lingshi water. New flesh had begun to grow from the horrific wounds. After Dr. Sun came for a follow-up visit yesterday, he was amazed at Yu Hai's healing ability. If it was someone else, his leg would have rotted away.

Xiaocao refused Liu's help, crushed the anti-inflammatory herbal medicine left by Grandpa You into a fine powder, mixed it with Lingshi water to make a paste, and carefully applied it to the wound.

The original itchy wound was replaced by a refreshing feeling. Yu Hai sighed comfortably, looked at his second daughter with relief, and said, "After Cao'er bumped her head, not only did her body recover, but she also became more dexterous. But she learned it very easily. Could it be that she was enlightened by the God of Wealth?"

Yu Xiaocao carefully wrapped the gauze on the well-medicated wound, raised her head and smiled at him when she heard this, without denying or admitting it.

At night, when the family members were asleep, Yu Xiaocao squeezed the small butian stone again, releasing the spiritual power that had been gathered with great difficulty, to help Yu Hai heal his wounded tendons.

The water source in this world is pure, and the Xiaobutianshi helped the owner save his father, which loosened the shackles, and its spiritual power recovered faster. I believe that in the near future, it will become a reality and appear in front of the world openly. However, the spiritual power recovered with great difficulty every day was used to treat Yu Hai's leg injury, which made the little guy very depressed.

Fortunately, it found that every time it emptied its spiritual power, the restraint on its body would loosen a little, especially when helping its master Yu Xiaocao to heal the wound on his head, and after treating his master's father, it was even more obvious.

The little god stone, who had become a spirit, couldn't help muttering: Could it be that every time I help the master, can it help to release the confinement of the Lingzu empress? That's why it was full of complaints, but it didn't stop helping Xiaocao's father heal his wounds.

The next day, the Xiaocao family finally slept peacefully until they woke up naturally. After Mrs. Zhang got up, she saw that the pigs were not being fed, the chickens were clucking from hunger, the firewood had not been hit, the floor had not been swept, and the clothes had not been washed. She couldn't help but yelled at Westinghouse: "What time is it? I'm dead asleep." No?"

Yu Xiaocao pushed open the door, looked at Mrs. Zhang with a half-smile, and said, "Grandma, you forgot that we have separated and lived in separate households. Let us feed the pigs and chickens. Is grandma going to put pigs and chickens together?" Give us a fifth?"

Mrs. Zhang choked on her yelling, and when she caught a glimpse of Mrs. Li in the east room leaning on the door frame to watch the commotion, she shifted her anger and shouted: "Lazy woman, hurry up and go to work, you don't have to eat breakfast if you can't finish it! "

Li Shi's face changed, thinking that she would be like Liu Shi in the future, with endless work to do from morning to night every day, she secretly groaned in her heart.

In the first year of entering the door for more than ten years, he was ordered by Mrs. Zhang to do some housework. Since Mrs. Liu came in, she let go of everything. Now I suddenly ask her to pick up the housework, I really don't know where to start, I am so busy all morning, and I am always scolded by my mother-in-law.

My sister-in-law Yu Caidie couldn't see it, so she helped to sweep the floor and feed the chickens. Just like that, when it was time to make breakfast, the firewood didn't come back. When Lao Yu came back, he was still eating cold pots and stoves, and he was hungry until the end of noon before he ate a very bad breakfast.

Old Yu sighed with an ugly face, in the future when Mrs. Liu and the others are not around, it will be impossible for the house to be as orderly as before. He put down the bowls and chopsticks and went to the old house to see how he could help.

And the Xiaocao family, after admiring the chickens and dogs jumping in the courtyard, left Yu Hai at home to recuperate, and the others went to the old house at the foot of the West Mountain after having breakfast early.

The old house is about two quarters of an hour away from the Yu family's current house. It is said that it is at the foot of the mountain, and it is still three or four miles away from the West Mountain. Looking at the good terrain surrounded by mountains and rivers, even if the dilapidated old house was crumbling, it didn't affect Yu Xiaocao's good mood. She is full of confidence in her future life.

The dilapidation of the old house is still shocking. Although it is repaired once a year, it can only ensure that the house does not collapse. It snowed a lot this winter, and one of the old houses was crushed by the snow. Although it was repaired hastily in spring, that house was useless for people to live in.

Dilapidated houses, yards overgrown with weeds, most of the fences have collapsed, and hares have made their nests in the yards. Sensing the movement, he came out with a "bass", which shocked the mother and the others. The little stone happily chased the hare and ran away. With a slight sigh, Mrs. Liu took her two daughters to clean up the weeds in the yard.

The old house is relatively remote, with a few scattered families nearby. Two hundred meters to the left is the Zhou family, who make a living raising chickens. The Zhou family's aunt, Fang Shi, is on good terms with Liu Shi. When she saw her mother stooping to fight with weeds, she brought her two daughters to help.

The Zhou family has one son and two daughters. The eldest daughter, Zhou Linglong, is fourteen years old and has already started talking about others. The youngest daughter, Zhou Shanghu, is only nine years old and innocent. She likes to play with sisters Xiaocao and Xiaolian the most.

Uncle Zhou started his business as a peddler in Da Nian, and his son Zhou Wenhua started the peddler business with his father after two years of private schooling. When the family is not busy, they go from village to village to sell needles, threads, brains and other goods. There are more than 100 chickens raised at home, and he is one of the few in the village who can afford white flour and polished rice.

"Brother Han!" Little Shitou, who was mowing the grass with a small scythe, raised his head and saw a familiar figure outside the door, and greeted cheerfully.

Zhao Han rolled up his sleeves, took a sickle, bent over to start working, and said, "I heard that you are moving here soon, let me see if I can help you?"
