Jingteng Fanghua

Chapter 3 Repayment
Chen Tianliang entered Liu Hua's room and saw grandma and grandpa sitting on the edge of Liu Hua's bed. The uncle was talking to grandpa. Liu Hua's head was wrapped in thick gauze, so he stepped forward and asked, " Brother Fu, what happened to your head?"

"Oh, I was hit on the head by a pulley. It's nothing serious. I just feel dizzy from time to time. Just take a rest." Liu Hua opened his eyes, glanced at Chen Tianliang, and then closed them again.

"Dawn, let's see if your mother has heated up the rice? Bring it over when it's ready." Grandma said to her little grandson.

"Okay!" Chen Tianliang agreed and went out.

Chen Baoping also went out, and soon there was a scolding voice from the eldest sister, "You are a dead pig, you are not cowardly, dare to borrow money outside without permission, and ask the eldest sister for money after dinner, you must Give me back the money I spent today, more than 20 yuan, how much do you earn in a month?"

"Old woman, you still have some money there, go and send it to them." Grandpa looked at grandma and said.

"I saved the money for Xiaofu to go to high school, and we will pay back the boss's money slowly." Grandma felt a little pained.

"You didn't listen to the scolding over there, so hurry up and send it over there, and your useless son will be kicked out in a while!" Grandpa continued: "I'll find a way to pay for Xiaofu's tuition. When Xiaofu is ready, I'll take him into the back mountain to see if I can find some medicinal herbs."

"Grandma, send it to uncle first, I still have two months to go to school, so I have time." Liu Hua said to grandma.

Liu Hua only felt tightness in his chest and uncomfortable throat congestion, thinking: "It's all my fault for looking for trouble. Not only did I not lighten the burden on my grandparents, but it increased the burden on them. I really deserve to die!"

Liu Hua was so angry that he really wanted to give himself another headache.

"Okay, I'll send it to him after you finish eating later." Grandma still said reluctantly.

Xiao Jin came in with a large bowl.

"Xiaoxian, the chicken will lay eggs tomorrow, and I will pay you back." The grandmother glanced at the contents of the bowl and said to the young daughter-in-law.

"Mom, look at what you said, Xiaofu is injured, shouldn't I give him two eggs to eat as a little concubine? You should save your eggs for Xiaofu's tuition." Xiaoxian spoke softly. Said to his mother-in-law.

Hearing Xiaojin's words, Liu Hua's eye sockets felt a little hot.Grandpa helped him to sit up, and he closed his eyes and said, "Thank you, jin!"

"You baby, you're more polite to Xiaojin!" Xiaoxian handed the bowl to Liu Hua's outstretched hand, "Can I eat it myself? How about Xiaojin feed you?"

"No, I can do it myself." Liu Hua took the Dahai bowl and smelled a scent of chopped green onion and sesame oil.

"Xiao Jin, you made me my favorite egg soup noodles?!" Liu Hua was moved for a moment. These are pure white noodles that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

"You hurt your head, you need to mend it." Xiaoxian said gently.

Smelling the delicious noodles, Liu Hua felt that the stuffiness in his heart and headache were relieved a lot.

"Hey! Xiaoxian is really reasonable, my family is lucky to be able to marry you as my daughter-in-law!" Grandma sighed.

Liu Hua was really hungry, and he liked to eat, so the meal was finished soon.

"Xiao Fu, if it's not enough, Xiao Jin still has steamed buns that were just steamed this afternoon, can I bring you some more?"

Seeing Liu Hua eating so fast, Xiao Xian quickly finished a big bowl of egg noodle soup, afraid that he was not full, so he said hastily.

"Thank you, Xiaojin. I'm full and my head doesn't hurt so much. You can see that I can open my eyes now." Liu Hua finally opened his eyes, looked at Xiaojin and said gratefully.

The scolding in the room over there was getting louder and louder, and the more scolding was getting worse, the grandma got a little angry, stood up and was about to go out, and said angrily: "Even if the family is separated, it can't be impersonal, right? That's it Desperately asking for money!"

"Old woman, we can't be unreasonable. We agreed when we separated. It's not unreasonable for Fengmei to ask for money. Give me the money, and I'll give it to you!" Grandpa saw that grandma's face turned pale with anger, and she was afraid of going over. After a disagreement, they choke with their daughter-in-law.

The scolding sound suddenly dropped, probably Chen Baoping closed the door.

Grandma went out for a while and came in with bits and pieces of RNB, "This is 20 yuan, you can send it here." Grandma stuffed the money into Grandpa's hand.

"Grandma, grandpa, it's all my fault, causing trouble for no reason!"

Liu Hua was used to being scolded by her sister-in-law since she was a child, and it was the first time she was scolded for such a long-winded speech like today. Seeing her grandmother's pale face, Liu Hua felt a little uncomfortable and aggrieved.

Uncle Chen Baohong came in from the outside, and said angrily as soon as he entered the door: "Xiao Fu, it has nothing to do with you. She beat chickens and dogs all day long, and she pointed at mulberry and Huai Huai. Isn't it because our family is poor, and her natal brothers are big for you?" My uncle has found a job, and now the captain of the village begs your sister-in-law to do things, and your sister-in-law is now a capable person in the whole village, with eyes growing to the top of her head!"

What Chen Baohong does is a salesman, which is a speculative behavior. Fortunately, the people in the mountains are kind, and no one takes it too seriously, otherwise he would have been criticized and stink.

Chen Baohong sold the exchanged eggs to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the town, and then exchanged some homework books, pencils, erasers and needles and thread brains for students from the supply and marketing cooperatives, and pushed the modified shelf carts to go from village to household, earning a few hard-earned money .

As soon as he entered the village just now, he heard the villagers talking about Xiao Fu, and when he entered the door, he heard his sister-in-law scolding his elder brother. Those words were simply unbearable.

"Oh, just stop talking! Your rice is covered in the pot, hurry back to the house and eat." Xiaoxian said, pushing and shoving Chen Baohong who had just entered the door.

"Don't push, let me see Xiaofu!" Chen Baohong pushed Xiaoxian behind him.

"Uncle, I'm fine, I'm much better now!" Liu Hua said quickly.

Seeing his father walking out with the odd bills in his hand, Chen Baohong hurriedly shouted, "Brother, do you really want to send money to elder brother?"

"No, watching your brother and your sister-in-law fight?" Chen Dongsheng said, walking out without stopping.

"Brother, wait, you can't go, I'll go and return the money to elder brother, I have money." Chen Baohong said and pulled his father back.

Liu Hua saw that Xiaojin's face was a bit ugly. Everyone's life is hard now. Every penny in his hand is picked out from between his teeth. Every day, my uncle goes through the wind and rain, and climbs mountains and mountains. , The money earned is not only hard work, but also dangerous. It is human nature for Xiaojin to be reluctant to part with these hard-earned money.

"Second brother, don't worry about this matter, otherwise the family will be even more troubled." The grandmother said to the youngest son.

"Baohong, Mom is right, you'd better not meddle in this matter." Xiaoxian took the opportunity to say to Chen Baohong, and secretly pinched his waist.

Chen Baohong hesitated for a moment and said, "Big Daddy, Xiaofu, if you don't have enough money to go to high school in the county, you can ask me for it. I have money."

Xiaoxian looked at her husband helplessly, but said nothing.
