Chapter 22 Sewing Clothes

"What the hell are you doing,"

Kou Yujiao's expression changed suddenly when she saw Zhao Huniu handing the silver coin to her; she hurriedly pushed back the hand holding the embroidered bag, and refused repeatedly:
"Even if you give it, you can't ask for so much! Take it back quickly, Auntie can't charge you so much money!"

"This is hard work for Aunt Guo,"

"It's not worth the hard work!"

Kou Yujiao's face suddenly sank, and she said to Zhao Huniu seriously:
"Auntie knows that you may have hunted a lot of prey when you came down from Jianlin Mountain and exchanged a lot of silver taels, but even if you have money now, you can't spend it like this. It's just sewing two clothes, and you just give it to me like this." People's money, what to do after that, don't they give more?
If this continues, it will be a mountain of gold and silver, and there will be a day when it will be emptied.

Although you have the ability to make money, you should pay attention to what should be saved and what is unnecessary to spend.There is always nothing wrong with the term "opening up sources of income and reducing expenditure".

You take the money back, Aunt Guo doesn't want it from you. "

Zhao Huniu thought about what Kou Yujiao said was indeed reasonable, "Okay, then listen to Aunt Guo. But the hard work must be paid, and I will send it along with the fabric size later."

Kou Yujiao saw that she couldn't escape, so she had no choice but to obey her.

Not long after Zhao Huniu left, Guo Yinshu came back; when he entered the door and saw a fat old hen tied to the table, he blinked in surprise,
"Why did mother buy chicken today? Is today a good day?"

"Silly boy, mother wants to buy it,"

Kou Yujiao came out from the back room, changed into neat clothes, and arranged all her hair with wooden hairpins.
"But I don't have the money."

"Then what is this chicken?"

"It was sent by Huniu girl."

"Tiger girl?"

"Um,"

Guo Yinshu was puzzled,
"Why did Miss Huniu give us chickens?"

"I don't know, I just heard that she just came back from the county seat and brought a lot of things. This is also her kindness, so my mother accepted it. Later she will send two bolts of cloth to sew two winter clothes, Mom won't do anything else these days."

"Ah, I see."

Guo Yinshu walked to the old hen, knelt down and touched the smooth feathers,
"Kirin,"

"What's wrong girl?"

He was stunned for a moment when he heard his mother call his baby name Guo Yinshu—it had been many years since his mother called him that. He looked up at Kou Yujiao,
"What do you think, Miss Zhao Huniu?"

"How about it... She is a warm-hearted person, she is a good girl. My son and Huniu girl have not met a few times, it was the last time she rescued her."

"It's good to see her for mother's sake, she's different from many children in this village,"

"That's true. I've never talked to her before. I just thought she was dumbfounded. I didn't expect her to be such a powerful person."

"What do you think if your mother comes to ask for marriage for you?"

"mother,"

This is Kou Yujiao's real purpose.Guo Yinshu stood up from the ground, with a bit of embarrassment in his shy expression,

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"You child, what are you afraid of? You are more than ten years old. Even if you get married earlier now, you are still at the age of engagement. When your uncle was your age, he had already married. .”

Kou Yujiao spoke softly, without any intention of threatening,

"You also know that our mother and son have lived in Brassica Village for more than ten years, but we have never been able to be called people from the village. Although you are a vigorous child and passed the examination of scholar at a young age, but relying on With the subsidy you can receive every year, it is still a bit difficult to send you to the state to take the provincial examination.

Mother's eyesight is bad now, and she can't do needlework as finely as she was when she was young. She raised you up, but the family can't save much money.If I can marry you a virtuous wife who manages the house well, Mother will have nothing to worry about in her life.

Girls around the age in this village pay attention a lot, look left and right,

Or girl Zhao Huniu, the best. "

After Kou Yujiao finished speaking, Guo Yinshu understood what she meant; her fair ears were already flushed, but she folded her sleeves and shook her head.
"Mother, although the son should not shirk his parents' order and the matchmaker's words. But now the son really doesn't think so. Firstly, he is young, and he is afraid that he will neglect his new wife if he does not act safely; secondly, his family is poor, and he may not be able to make up It's indecent to hire one or two of them.

If it is possible, wait another year or two, when the son saves some money, it will not be too late to discuss. "

After hearing what Guo Yinshu said, Kou Yujiao sighed lightly; she knew that what her son said was indeed reasonable, so she had to put aside the matter of marriage proposal.

After a while, Zhao Huniu sent over the cloth, besides the size of the cloth, there was also half a penny.

Although Kou Yujiao still felt that something was wrong, but this time Zhao Huniu's attitude was quite firm, she couldn't refuse, so she had to accept it.
After leaving Guo's house, Zhao Huniu breathed a sigh of relief.

With the matter of clothes settled, she has nothing to rush to do.

"Tiger girl,"

Guo Yinshu's voice came from behind, she turned her head and saw the young man chasing him out and coming in front of her.

"Thank you for the gift,"

"Where, it's just a little thing, don't keep it in your heart."

Seeing that Guo Yinshu was silent, Zhao Huniu said again: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"Ah, yes. Then I will send you off soon."

Zhao Huniu nodded, turned and left.

Guo Yinshu stood there in a daze, and stood there for a long time before returning to the room.

"Tiger girl!"

There are many people who call themselves today,
Zhao Huniu stood still and looked at Zhao Licheng in front of him, waving his hands all the way, striding towards him;
"Huniu," Zhao Licheng said with a simple and honest smile in front of Zhao Huniu, "I was in the field this morning, and my mother said that you came back from the county town."

"Aren't I right in front of you now?"

"This, this is"

The girl's answer made Zhao Licheng a little embarrassed, he scratched his head, his smile was not as bright as before,

"Hey, did I hear that you shot a fox down from Jianlin Mountain? It's so powerful, it must have exchanged a lot of money. My mother told me that fox fur is very valuable now. I wanted to learn how to go up the mountain with Uncle Zheng. Yes, but my mother disagrees with her life and death."

"There are no foxes in Hirayama,"

Zhao Huniu replied seriously, "If you want to fight foxes, you may have to go to Jianlin Mountain."

Zhao Huniu didn't mean anything else, just a suggestion based on rational judgment; but Zhao Licheng didn't think so, he couldn't help feeling that Zhao Huniu was mocking himself,

After all, she just came down from Jianlin Mountain, she is still a girl,

But he can do things that most men in this village can't do,
And he is obviously a son, but he can only be with the fields all day long
Thinking like this, Zhao Licheng couldn't help but feel gloomy.

"Yes, yes," the boy's smile became forced, "I haven't been out of the village until now, my mother always said that I am still young and won't let me do many things."

Looking at Zhao Licheng, Zhao Huniu tilted her head,

"Aren't you already 15 years old, can you still be called young? I was already a martial artist when I was 15 years old"

As soon as the word sect came out of her mouth, she stopped,
"...Anyway, 15 years old can't be called a child anymore. Even if you don't go up the mountain, it's not interesting to stay in the village all day."

After Zhao Huniu had said something, Zhao Licheng felt a surge of ambition, he patted his chest,

"You're right, Huniu! From now on, I want to be like you, no longer nesting in the village every day! I want to go to the county town and go up the mountain!"

"I went to the county seat, so it's better to go up the mountain,"

Zhao Huniu said calmly:
"Going up the mountain is still a bit dangerous for you."

"."

"I'm furious!"

As soon as Zhao Lan got home, she slammed the basket in her hand onto the ground—even though there was nothing in it, it bounced a little.

Zhao Erdan was sitting at the table and was gnawing on a chicken leg, gnawing on the oily shine on his face,
But I don't know which child the chicken leg was snatched from.

"What's the matter? I didn't say grandma, you are so angry all day long, and sooner or later you will kill yourself."

"You brat dare to curse your grandma to die? If my mother dies, do you think you, a little bastard, can survive by yourself?!"

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously, grandma,"

After eating the chicken leg in his hand, and throwing the remaining bone on the ground, Zhao Erdan stood up and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
"Okay, okay, you just say who bullied you? Grandson, I will vent your anger for you."

"Who else? Other than that unfilial son and that little bastard, who else in this village can make me angry? You said they all crawled out of my belly, why is your father so capable? The mother also suits my heart,

But that unfilial son doesn't look like a human being, married such a ignorant woman, and gave birth to such a nasty little bastard, "

Zhao Lan cursed viciously on one side, and Er Dan on the other side smacked his lips impatiently, already tired of hearing these clichés,
"It's a pity my darling, he got a terrible disease at such an early age, and left my wife alone—God, why are you so cruel—"

Seeing that Zhao Lan was about to start singing while crying again, Erdan Zhao picked his ears,

"Grandma, you've been saying these words since I was born. Can you change some? So why are you angry with you today? You said it."

"It's not that little bastard!"

Hearing her grandson's question, Zhao Lan immediately changed her face and began to belittle Zhao Cunwu's father and daughter.
"It's great to earn a little money, and I'm going to show it off everywhere in the village! Just now I saw her deliberately driving the donkey cart past here, so I knew she had no good intentions! When I went out to weigh some noodles, I also met Zhao Yong's family who was so rude. Proud mother-in-law, proudly told me about the chicken that the little bastard gave her.

She even gave things to those outsiders when she came back from the county, but she didn't even send anything to her grandma's house!
Back then your stick,

Why didn't you kill this little bastard! "
