Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 81 Missing Mother, Shu'er Cried

After asking about the way to the town, Liu Ya took the copper coins from Xiaoshu'er and looked at them.Then he took out two coins and handed them to Xiao Shu'er, pointing to his lapel and said: "These two pennies are your private money, you should hide them in the lapel that can be used as a treasure bag."

"Ah! Second Sister, I don't hide my private money anymore. Didn't I tell you about the fishing thread as well." Xiao Shu'er didn't go to pick up the money, but blushed.

Liu Ya smiled "puchi", took Xiao Shu'er's hand, put the two pennies in his palm, and said, "Second Sister is just teasing you. Man, you have to have some money in your pocket. Our family still has money." Poor, I can’t give you too much pocket money. But the second sister doesn’t want you to fight with others because of a penny, you know? Keep it, buy whatever you want, and buy something when you’re hungry or hungry. Steamed buns, steamed buns, etc.”

Xiao Shu'er looked at the two coins in his hand in surprise, and was speechless for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Ya asked amusedly, "What? Isn't that too little?"

"No, I'm...I'm thinking of my mother again." Xiao Shu'er suddenly clenched the copper plate in his hand, and wiped his eyes fiercely with the back of his hand.Then he choked up and said: "The family used to be poor, but my mother would give me and my eldest sister a copper coin every once in a while, and tell us that we can buy candy. We are all reluctant, and we have never bought candy by ourselves. Just... just After Mother passed away, we took out the money we saved and bought a catty of meat for the New Year."

Speaking of this, Xiao Shu'er's tears began to fall down.Then he said: "That was the first year of mother's death. Our family has been out of food for a long time. My eldest sister asked me to take out the copper coins my mother gave us back then. We counted them together and bought a catty of meat. A cabbage and a catty of noodles, we made dumplings. Eating the dumplings, it was as if my mother was still there. That was the money my mother gave us. Huh..."

After talking about it, Xiao Shu'er was crying so hard.

Liu Ya was still holding the money, but she was completely stunned.She never knew that a child from a poor family, who looked a little mature, had such delicate thoughts and uncontrollable emotions.

At the same time, the atrium, which had been touched a long time ago, became soft again, as if it had turned into a puddle of water.

Liu Ya stretched out her arms to hold Xiao Shu'er in her arms, hearing his sobs, she also shed tears quietly.

Holding Xiao Shu'er made him feel warm, and then patted his shoulder lightly, Liu Yacai said: "Okay, don't cry, Shu'er. Otherwise, your eyes will be swollen when you go back, and the elder sister will think I'm bullying you. "

"Well, Second Sister, don't tell Eldest Sister what I said today, and don't tell Dad either." Xiao Shu'er wiped away her tears, looking a little embarrassed.

Liu Ya also had red eyes, but she smiled, pointed at the tip of Xiao Shu'er's nose and said, "Okay, this is a secret between us. Don't always mention mother in front of father and eldest sister."

"Okay." Xiao Shu'er puffed out her small chest, and turned back into that young, mature and sensible child again.

Liu Ya counted out twenty copper coins in her hand, put them in Xiao Shu'er's hand, and said, "Go home and give this to Dad. From now on, Dad will be in charge of our family's money. Most of the money will be taken care of." to him."

"Okay, remember." Xiao Shu'er nodded obediently.Then he said quietly: "Can I keep a change? Not much, not much, just two or three."

"Okay, Second Sister won't tell, Eldest Sister doesn't know, and Dad won't blame you if he knows." Liu Ya nodded.Then he put the remaining ten copper coins in his pocket and said: "I will accept the ten coins. It will be enough for the fare to Ning'an Town tomorrow. The small water shop earned some money before. Let's see if we can do a little business together."

Hearing Liu Ya's words, Xiao Shu'er frowned, and asked, "Second Sister, you didn't make much money the first two times, and you bought so much rice and vegetables, and there isn't much left. How do you use this money?" Can you do business with a little money?"

"You can do business with a few pennies, but rely on here, here." Liu Ya pointed to Xiaoshu'er's head, and then said: "Bring a few pennies just in case, otherwise I don't need a penny." Bring it."

"Oh, selling mushrooms can indeed make some money." Xiao Shu'er looked at Liu Ya's basket of mushrooms and nodded.

In fact, Liu Ya really wanted to say that even if she didn't go to the town, she could make money just by robbing the official road selling water and being a bandit.But that was not the right path after all, she had no choice.

Liu Ya gave Xiao Shu'er an expression of "I'm too lazy to explain to you", and dragged Xiao Shu'er down the mountain to go home.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the smoke from the kitchen, and there was a smell of rice in the kitchen.It should be that Liu Xu'er has already prepared dinner at home.

Although Liu Xu'er's cooking skills are not good, it's not as delicious as Liu Ya's cooking.But they can eat a ready-made one when they go home, Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er are full of satisfaction.

Liu Xu'er heard the sound of the door, and came out wearing an apron, holding a spatula in her hand, and asked, "How are you? Are you tired? We'll be eating in a while."

"What kind of food does eldest sister cook? It seems that there is no food at home." Liu Ya remembered that the food she bought in the past two days was almost enough for one meal, and she had already distributed the money she earned today. I forgot the money for the vegetables, and I didn't go to buy them.

Originally, he planned to go home and report to Liu Dacheng before going shopping, but now that the food is almost ready, he saved a meal.

After Liu Ya asked, Liu Xu'er's face turned red, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Brother Wu Niu is back. As soon as he came back, he sent half a cabbage and a few slices of bacon to our family. I stewed it A cabbage bacon soup, steamed a pot of white rice."

Seeing Liu Xu'er's flushed face and expression when he mentioned Brother Wu Niu, Liu Ya found it quite interesting.It seems that Liu Xu'er likes Chen Wuniu.

Originally, Liu Ya told Liu Xu'er not to accept other people's things casually in the future.But on second thought, maybe Chen Wuniu also likes Liu Xu'er?It's normal for a boy to come to give something to a girl to please her. I can't hinder her from falling in love.

Therefore, apart from Liu Ya's feeling that Liu Xu'er was just beginning to fall in love, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Xiao Shu'er asked from the side: "Didn't Brother Wu Niu say when he left last time that he won't be back until after the Mid-Autumn Festival? It's only been a few days and you're back?"

"Well, it is said that the boss's family has something to do, and they are all on holiday, and they are going to stay at home for a while." Speaking of this, Liu Xu'er remembered that Brother Wu Niu could stay at home for a while, and could see each other often, so she couldn't help but I blushed again.

Seeing Liu Xu'er's appearance, Liu Ya deliberately pushed her, and even shaved her own face to shame her.
