Early the next morning, Zhu Yongxin talked about going to work in the city again. Bo Rong was older, and his face became a little solemn when he heard this, and his eating movements were also much slower. Jasmine was not very knowledgeable yet, so after hearing this, she still He said happily: "Dad, if you make money, you can buy rice for your little brother to make a paste. e3"
Hehua rolled her big eyes, and said vaguely while drinking porridge: "Dad went to learn carpentry, and when he came back he went up the mountain to chop wood to make a small table and chairs for Hehua."
Fang's heart moved when she heard this, and she said to Zhu Yongxin: "Although it is a child's words, it makes sense. There is no carpenter in our village yet. You go and learn to be a carpenter. Our mountains are full of trees. From now on, you can make everything at home by yourself." , wouldn’t it save a lot of money, and if someone in the village wants to do something, we can also take a job, so we don’t have to go to the city to find work all the time. Chapter 13 Going to the city to find work.”
"I'll go to the city and have a look. I'll do whatever the other people can do. Can I make my own choice?" Zhu Yongxin buried his head in cooking.
When Mrs. Fang heard this, she thought it was right, and said, "After dinner, I will pack your bed for you. You go and tell your parents before leaving."
After breakfast, when He Hua followed Fang to the main courtyard, she saw Zhu Yongxin squatting in the courtyard smoking with a sullen face. Old Zhu also had a livid face. Mrs. Liu stood at the door of her house, leaning on the door frame as if watching the excitement, and saw Fang. When he entered the hospital, he immediately said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, your hands and feet are really good. All the bedding has been packed!"
Lao Zhutou smashed his pipe and pot on the stone floor, and said with drooped eyelids, "My third daughter-in-law, I have just finished half a year of farm work. You guys need to take a rest. How can you catch up?" Sent to work and contribute."
After hearing this, Hehua rolled her eyes and thought, are they all like Lao Zhutou and Third Uncle, who go out to make money every day to be serious
Fang was stunned when he heard this. He put the baggage in his hand on the stool at the door and entered the courtyard and said, "Dad, I..."
"I'm going out to work on my own. What does it have to do with this woman's family?" Zhu Yongxin said in a muffled voice, "How dare she instruct me and not slap her like a boss?" Chapter 13 Going to the city to find work.
"The Chinese New Year is just over a month away. Why are you going out to bother yourself? You don't have food to eat at home?" When Old Zhutou heard his son say this, he rolled his eyes at Mr. Fang, stuffed another cigarette bag with pot cigarettes, and started smoking.
Zhu Yongxin stood up suddenly and said: "The fourth child is going to get married this year, and Meizi has to start preparing for the dowry. I'm thinking of going out to learn some carpentry skills, earning more, and organizing things for myself in the future."
Lao Zhutou stared and wanted to speak. Yang came out of the room and said: "Why are you so cruel to the child? The third child is right. You can't save a few bucks every year just by digging in the soil." Son." Then he said to Zhu Yongxin, "Let the fourth child go with you. The two brothers will be taken care of and go home as soon as possible before the end of the year."
Lao Zhu was cut off by Yang in front of his son and daughter-in-law. He suddenly became angry, slammed the pipe pot in his hand, and shouted: "Who is in charge of this family, are they going to rebel?"
The ashes and sparks in the pot of the pipe were flying everywhere, burning several black spots on Yang's shoes. She was heartbroken and said unhappily: "Don't show your old bandit temper. Life at home is , you don’t know how your life is going? Apart from you, your family can only eat refined grains for a few days every month, and you just eat cakes and pickles, right?"
"What's wrong with chewing bread and eating pickles? Haven't you lived through the days when you even ate bark and grass roots a few years ago?" Old Zhutou didn't feel that he was wrong at all. In his heart, he felt that country people had to rely on the sky for their livelihood. , take good care of the land and eat what you harvest, then you can live a proper life. "Nowadays, if you have land to plant and food to harvest, what else can you not be satisfied with? You have to go out and work in all kinds of crooked ways. , and the bankers’ good responsibilities have been lost.”
Seeing that Lao Zhutou and Yang were about to quarrel, Hehua looked at the stubborn old man and Yang who was very angry, so he had to pretend to be stupid and ran over, hugged Yang's legs and looked up at her and said: "Nai, last time you said you were going to find me a little uncle!"
Meizi just came out of the house when she heard the noise. Her cheeks turned red after hearing what Hehua said, and she poked her forehead with her fingertips: "How old are you, what do you know!"
When He Hua heard this, she lowered her head and clasped her fingers and said, "Last time, someone proposed marriage to my fourth uncle and said that the bride's family's dowry was worth twenty taels of silver. Dad said that one tael of silver is worth a thousand cents, and one cent can be sold for a piece of candy. Then Twenty taels... Sister-in-law, how many candies do you think I can buy?"
After hearing this, Lao Zhutou immediately stopped talking. Let alone twenty taels of silver, he was asked to take out twenty taels of silver now. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take it out. He went to pick up the pipe and pot by himself and said in a cold voice: "I can't control you wild boys anymore, just do whatever you like!"
Hehua hugged Yang's legs and waited until Lao Zhu walked out of the yard with his hands behind his head and his hands behind his back, then he breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to be like Boyuan, who was beaten to a bloody head.
Yang and Meizi went to pack the clothes for the fourth child. Yang went back to the house and dug for a long time. She took out the silver coins wrapped in a small handkerchief from the kangqin, weighed them around, and finally took two taels of silver and a copper coin. , handed it to Zhu Yongxin when he went out and said: "As the saying goes, a poor family will get rich, so just take some money to avoid using it, so you can pretend it's ready."
Zhu Yongxin stuffed the money into his close-fitting purse, rolled up all the money and put it in his bedding. He put his luggage on his back and told his fourth son to set off. Now that he was on the official road, he might be able to stop a car going to the city, otherwise he would have to go alone. Went away with my luggage.
When Mrs. Fang saw that the person was really about to leave, she suddenly felt a little unhappy. She went over to pull Zhu Yongxin's clothes and said, "When you are away from home, take care of yourself and your fourth child. Wear more clothes at ordinary times. Don't get cold and get sick." Come back soon, we have a busy year at home!"
He Hua also came over and tugged on the corner of Zhu Yongxin's clothes and said, "Don't worry, dad, go learn the craft. Mom will take good care of He Hua, my eldest brother, eldest sister, and younger brother."
This sentence made both Zhu Yongxin and Fang laugh. Zhu Yongxin picked up his daughter and kissed her, then put her into Fang's arms. He also told her: "Lock the courtyard door at night and bolt the house. If you are scared, call her." Meizi will go over and accompany you."
"You think I'm just a child, what are you afraid of in my own village!" Ms. Fang didn't want to make him worry too much, so she pushed him, "Let's go quickly, I don't think I can catch the train!"
Ms. Liu leaned against the door of the house and continued to chatter her teeth casually: "Second brother and second sister-in-law have been in such a good relationship for so long that they are so enviable!"
Meizi just bent down and picked up Hehua. After hearing this, he rolled his eyes at her and said, "Are they all like the third brother and the third sister-in-law, who either quarrel or fight at home every day?"
Ms. Liu felt bored and slammed the door and went into the house. Meizi turned to Fang and said, "Second sister-in-law, please come in. It's cold outside."
"You go in first. My sister-in-law is here today. Mom will go to my house to do some work later!" Ms. Fang winked at her mother-in-law and said, "That's what my mother told me before I moved home. , I’m a little unclear too, mother, just ask my sister-in-law when the time comes!”
Yang immediately understood and said: "Okay, let your sister-in-law stay at home for dinner today. There is also a piece of bacon at home. I have grown bean sprouts and soy beans in the house, so that the plums can be stir-fried."
Mrs. Fang went home and tidied up for a while. Mrs. Zhang, her mother-in-law, came in and brought some broken rice from the bottom of a rice bag. She handed it to Mrs. Fang and said, "My mother asked me to use it to make a paste for Shuanzi to drink." , your milk is still not enough?”
"Yes, there was not enough milk when I fed the previous one, and now it seems even less." Mrs. Fang was not polite to her sister-in-law, poured the broken rice into her own jar, led her into the house and said, "My mother-in-law will be there soon." Come here, sit down for a while."
"I asked someone specifically before I came back this time. They all said that drinking pig trotters stewed with Tongcao is very stimulating. Why don't you give it a try? You should stew it vigorously until the pig trotters melt into the soup before drinking it!" Mrs. Zhang He said with great concern, "The child should drink more milk to grow well. It is not normal to eat rice cereal all the time."
"Besides, where can I have spare money to buy pig's trotters? Shuanzi is not picky, and he drinks the glutinous rice very well!" After saying this, Mrs. Fang turned back to the kang and picked up her youngest son, "Shuanzi, look who's here, it's My aunt is here, do you remember that my aunt tied a string for you and hung the money on it?"
Shuanzi seemed to be sensible and reached out to grab Mrs. Zhang, making Mrs. Zhang smile from ear to ear. He quickly took it and hugged her, saying, "My nephew, do you know your aunt?"
The two of them were busy playing with the bolts and leaving the lotus flowers to dry. She actually took what Zhang said into her heart and sneaked out secretly when no one was paying attention to her. First I went to the doctor's house in the village and asked about the price of Tongcao, which was quite cheap. Then I went to the butcher Zhang's house at the entrance of the village to ask about the pig's trotters.
Butcher Zhang went to another village to collect pigs, and his wife was the only one in the shop. When he saw Hehua, he came to ask about the pig's trotters. He smiled and teased her: "Why, little Hehua is greedy for pig's trotters?"
"My aunt told me to let my mother stew pig's trotters with milk, and asked me to ask the price." Hehua didn't want others to feel like she was less than a child, so she found an excuse to shirk.
"Pig's trotters are more expensive than meat, costing sixty-five cents per pound." The butcher's wife was not in business at the moment, but her attitude was very kind, "If you want to buy it, ask your elders to buy it."
Hehua thought about it in her mind and asked: "What if I trade fish with you to change my career? How many kilograms of fish can be exchanged for a pig's trotter?"
When the butcher's wife heard this, her face became a little confused. She collapsed slightly and said, "You can buy some fish after you sell them for money!"
He Hua picked up the pork case and said: "If my mother went to the city to sell fish for money, she would just buy pig trotters and come back. Why would she use them at your house? When Butcher Zhang goes to collect the pigs, she can sell the fish by the way!"
"..." The butcher's wife saw that Hehua was speaking smoothly and coherently. She suddenly remembered the rumors in the village a while ago that the lotus in Lao Zhu's family was the reincarnation of a golden lotus. Although she didn't believe it, she saw that Hehua looked neat and spoke smartly. Thinking of the three boys at home, I felt my heart move.
