Bai Xiaofeng said: "Mother, we are all a family, what can't you say? Why do you have to be so red and white?" Bai Xiaofeng blinked at Liu again.
Liu didn't understand what he meant, but since his son said so, he must have his reason, so he went on to say: "Who said no, I think so too."
Bai Xiaofeng said: "Since we are all a family, and the family is in trouble, we naturally have to pull it off, right?"
Zhang made no sound, lowered his head and continued embroidering.
Liu's busy continued with Bai Xiaofeng's words: "That's natural, as a family, there is no reason not to help."
Bai Xiaofeng was very pleased to see that his mother had opened up, "So let's talk to my aunt and see if we can borrow some more rice for us to spend this winter. My aunt is a generous person and will definitely not care about what we used to be. For those things, when I become a high official in the future, the first person to repay is my aunt."
After going around for a long time, borrowing grain is the key point.
Zhang lowered his head to work, and did not even glance at Bai Xiaofeng and Liu, but said quietly, "We don’t have any more rice. What to eat tomorrow is still a problem, and I don’t know if we can get the embroidered noodles tomorrow. The wages were originally said to be settled at the end of the month, but there are still ten days before the end of the month."
Zhang sneered in his heart, Bai Xiaofeng as a high official? People who can't even participate in a childlike style still count on being a high official? Does the government lack people like him
Besides, just people like Bai Dazhu, Liu Guihua and the old woman, the people they taught can be people who know what to do? It's pretty good if you don't repay virtue with grievances.
Regardless of whether he will become a high official in the future, she does not count, nor can she count on it.
Bai Xiaofeng’s face froze with laughter. These two aunts looked like they didn’t eat soft or hard. He really wanted to slap the table and shake his face. This foolish idiot dare to ignore him like this. He will be big in the future. Official.
He wanted to turn his face, but he was still hungry. Although there are relatives of the Bai family in Huangtuo Village, they are all offended on weekdays. No one will lend them food. Now the only hope is the second room.
He took a deep breath and continued to accompany the smiling face and said, "Auntie, how can you lend us grain? You can't bear to watch our family starve to death, right?"
Zhang stopped his work, and finally raised his head and looked at Bai Xiaofeng: "There are so many in the village. There are countless people in this world who are poorer than us than we are. Why don’t others starve to death? It's just that your family will be hungry. ?"
Xiaofeng couldn't answer, and Zhang said again: "Xiaofeng, you are also a person who has read a book. What do you mean by self-reliance? Does my aunt explain to you? It's impossible to expect others to help you live forever. , You still have to rely on yourself in the end."
Liu didn't bother to listen to her talking nonsense, and raised his throat and said: "Just give me the right words, how can I be willing to borrow food?"
Zhang shook his head: "It's impossible to borrow grain in any way. Our family relies on me to do this to support our family. It is already very difficult to support our own family alone, and you can't do it at all."
She paused, and then said: "However, if you can be more diligent, I can help you get more embroidery work from Su'e, and give it to you evenly, so that you can make money yourself. Can the money be used to buy rice? How about using it to ask others for help in such a low voice?"
Liu looked at Zhang's hands full of frostbite, and he hesitated. If she also did embroidery work like Zhang, wouldn't her hands be frozen like this
