The ugly husband of the sturdy peasant girl is spoiled by the sky

Chapter 58, The Compassionate People

Shu Xin raised his eyebrows, "Three?"

"no?"

Cauliflower shook her head hehehe.

"Fifteen?"

Shu Xin continued to guess.

Scallion nervously waited for Shu Xin to guess right.

"No, no, big sister, be serious!"

Shu Xin laughed, "I'm serious!"

"Then you can't get fifteen after five!" Cauliflower complained, then looked at the chopped green onion, "Guess the chopped green onion!"

"Seven?" Scallion asked tentatively.

"No, no, no!"

"Eight?" Scallion guessed again.

Cauliflower shook her head.

Scallion pursed her lips, thought for a while before saying, "Could it be six?"

Cauliflower laughed out loud, "Yeah, I saw six of them, I'll look for them tomorrow!"

"Second sister, have you caught it yet?"

"It's pitch black, I can't catch it, and there may be more than six!"

Cauliflower said, sitting next to Scallion, "Our previous one, let it run away, it hurt me so much at that time!"

Now it's all right, there are a lot of them, and they are carefully raised. When the little rabbits are born, the rabbit meat can be eaten, and the rabbit fur can be sold or made into collars. They are warm and beautiful in vain.

Onion nods.

She also felt distressed, that one was about to give birth.

It's just that she only cared about her mother and younger siblings that day, but let them run away. Although the eldest sister and second sister didn't say a word to her, she felt uncomfortable.

Mrs. Liu fed Yaomei and coaxed her to urinate before reporting to younger brother to get up.

The little brother is very obedient, he urinates when he is full, and sleeps when he urinates.

After coaxing the two younger ones, Mrs. Liu walked to the door, "It's still early in the morning, you guys go to bed too!"

Shu Xin looked at the sky, it was indeed still early, "Let's go, let's go to bed!"

"it is good!"

This time when I went back, cauliflower and chopped green onion slept on their own beds, and Shu Xin slept alone, turning over and feeling extremely comfortable.

He decides to let Dou Hua sleep with his mother, and she sleeps alone at night.

After sleeping until dawn, the three sisters got up to cook, each of them had their own face towels, which were thin and of the same color, and Shu Xin embroidered different flowers and plants in the corners to distinguish them.

Then I went to find rabbits. There were seven rabbits in total. Six of them looked very big, and there was a skinny one, which should be a male.

"This man really has a heart!"

Because there is no cage at home, the rabbit is locked in a pigsty.

I went to get some grass for them to eat.

"We still need to get a few cages!"

Rabbits have to have their own nests in order to have babies.

Mrs. Liu also got up early, took care of her for a month, her complexion improved a lot, and she looked like she had flesh, plus now that she had money in her hands and food at home, she was indescribably gentle.

In the morning, there are thick porridge, pumpkin shredded pancakes, a fried cowpea, and steamed eggs in a large bowl.

"Eat well, come back early, the sun is scorching now, it's hard to get some white, don't get tan again!" Liu ordered.

"I know mother!"

After breakfast, Shu Xin found a piece of cloth, measured the length and width of the bed and kang, and marked it down. Later, he went to a house that can make bamboo mats and ordered a few bamboo mats, as well as a few bamboo chairs. Shau ​​Kei, dustpan, bamboo sieve, and drying mat are also indispensable.

As for the money, when the things are ready, they will be paid in one go.

After tidying up the house, Shu Xin went out with the cauliflower and green onion, because there were only two backpacks and two sickles, and the cauliflower and green onion had already been carried on their backs.

Shu Xin thought clearly, she would definitely not be able to mow in a while, she would have to teach those boys how to mow, then pick out the weeds, and tie them up one by one, otherwise Doctor Luo would definitely not want it.

"Mom, we're leaving, you take care of the courtyard gate, and we'll make lunch when we come back!"

Liu Shi waved his hand, "Go, go early, go back early!"

Watching the three daughters leave, Liu closed the courtyard door with a smile.

I went to the pigsty to look at the rabbits, fed the chickens a few handfuls of corn, and turned back to the room to look at the two children.

Douhua was learning to embroider, "Come on, mother will teach you!"

"Okay!" Douhua responded obediently.

The days are quiet and beautiful, Liu Shi thought, and smiled.

It happened that Douhua looked up at Mrs. Liu, and seeing Mrs. Liu's gentle smile, she also started giggling.

When the three Shu Xin sisters arrived in the village, there were already a dozen boys waiting with their shoulders and sickles.

"Sister Ah Xin!"

"Ah Xin!"

The younger one is called sister, and the older one is called Ah Xin.

They are all boys under fifteen or sixteen, and they are all very energetic.

"En!" Shu Xin nodded.

I didn't see Shu Youren, "Where's Fifth Brother?" Someone couldn't help asking.

"Fifth brother is not feeling well. He has gone to town. He will be back in a few days and he will be able to teach us how to read!" Shu Xin said softly, unavoidably worried about Shu Youren.

"Oh I got it!"

"Sister Ah Xin, let's go then!"

"it is good!"

The adults looked at it and agreed. After all, Shu Xin cut the herbs and went to Dr. Luo's house to exchange money, and his own children followed. If he could exchange some money and come back, the family would be more relaxed, and he would have the opportunity to send him to school for two years in the future. Just take the exam to be a scholar, know a few words, go out and don't be calculated or bullied by others.

Shu Xin seemed to be the head of a child.

He took the children to the stream and preached earnestly, "Hey, this is the calamus, cut it from here, and when you hold it in your hand, you have to pull out the yellow ones and throw them away, as well as the weeds. If you find it, it’s fine if you don’t bundle it up, but when you put it in the sack, it must be neat!”

The boys all listened carefully. One of the oldest was named Huzi, who was quite tall. The boys all listened to him, and he listened to Shu Xin's words, so the boys respected Shu Xin a little more.

"Okay, let's start cutting, don't grab, there are a lot of streams going up this creek!"

But with so many people, it will take half a month to cut today.

But there are many mountains and streams in Shujia Village, and there are many places where calamus grows.

Shu Xin was a little worried, what if Dr. Luo didn't accept it?
Shu Xin regretted bringing them here for a while, but after thinking about it, she realized that these children originally wanted to make money. If Dr. Luo didn't accept calamus, she would take them to get other things. The villagers would help her family. Too much, she always has to pay back one or two.

At the beginning, Shu Xin was worried that the boys were not careful enough, but in the end he thought too much. They were careful, and they were fast, especially the one named Huzi, who had a big back, faster speed, and good strength. Soon I will get half back.

An hour later, the boys had cut the backs full, and the cauliflower and scallions were not full yet, so they helped to cut them, and they got along very well.

Shu Xin was worried that Mrs. Liu would take care of the three children alone at home, so she let Cong Chan go home, and she and Cai Hua went to Dr. Luo's house.

"Then eldest sister, I'll go back first, you and second sister will come back after delivering the herbs!"

"it is good!"

Scallion thought that he could help cook when he went home.

It's just that when she got home, Liu Shi had already cooked the rice.

Pumpkin steamed buns, pork ribs stewed potatoes, cowpea porridge, and a horse head blue salad.

"I'm back, where are your eldest and second sisters?" Liu Shi asked gently.

"Eldest sister and second sister send calamus to Doctor Luo's house first, and let me come back!"

Mrs. Liu nodded, "Wash your face and hands first. I'll scoop up a bowl of mung bean soup for you. I put it in the water to cool. I added a lot of sugar. It's sweet and delicious. I drank two bowls of bean curd!"

After Liu Shi finished speaking, she turned around and scooped up mung bean soup for chopped green onion.

After washing her face and hands with chopped green onion, Mrs. Liu took it over and handed it to her.

The green onion held it with slightly red eyes, "Mother, it's such a wonderful day!"

Liu's meal.

In the past at Shu's house, no matter what kind of delicious food, the old and young ones had to be eaten before it was her children's turn.

Now I can eat as much as I want, and I can serve the cooked food to the children when I get home. It feels really good.

Liu Shi nodded.

After leaving that family, she never regretted it, but her life is now like this, Liu's heart is very grateful.

Touch the head of chopped green onion, "Eat slowly, there are quite a lot, but you can't eat too much, or you won't be able to eat in a while!"

"Yeah!" Cong Hua nodded obediently.

Mrs. Liu went to flip through the sun-dried pumpkin seeds, ready to stir-fry them as snacks for a few children.

In the past, it was not their turn to eat these things, but now that life is better and money is in hand, she must let them eat enough.

Never feel wronged again.

When Shu Xin, Cai Hua, and Hu Zi arrived at Dr. Luo's house, Dr. Luo happened to be at home. When he saw the calamus in the children's backs, Dr. Luo was taken aback.

"Are you sending calamus here?"

"Doctor Luo..." Shu Xin hesitated to speak.

What if Dr. Luo refuses to accept it?She's fine, but what about the other boys?
"It's okay, I packed up the calamus you sent last time and sold them in the town, and sold them at a good price, so you can send them any herbs you want in the future, but there is one thing, you have to clean it up, I don't want it if it's not clean! " Doctor Luo said with a smile.

Shu Xin quickly responded.

Huzi also responded quickly.

The boys, who are actually sensible, made a fuss when they were outside, but now they are at Dr. Luo's house, and they are all quiet.

Doctor Luo nodded in satisfaction, "That's how it is, I'll get you money!"

Fifteen wen a reciprocating scorpion, the tiger's back is too big, so I gave three more wen.

"Doctor Luo..." Hu Zi called out in a low voice.

Doctor Luo nodded, patted Huzi on the shoulder, and said nothing, "Take it and use it first, by the way, how is your grandpa?"

"much better!"

"Ok!"

After coming out of Dr. Luo's house, the boys went to the canteen, bought melon seeds worth a few pennies, and grabbed a handful for Shu Xin. Put melon seeds in.

"Sister Cauliflower's purse is so pretty!"

"Better than my sister's embroidery!"

Cauliflower was proud of herself, but she smiled and said, "I'll see your sister in a few days, so I'll tell her!"

"Sister Caihua, please don't, if my sister really finds out, she will have to pull my ears off!"

Cauliflower laughed, and the other boys laughed too.

Walk happily to Shujia Village.

There are not so many requirements and rules for men and women in the countryside, and these children are all for their livelihoods, which makes them more considerate and praised.

Those who really love their daughters will not let their daughters go to cut herbs, but the family is poor and cannot afford food, as long as they can go to cut herbs, they will follow.

A few boys walked in front, laughing and playing around, Shu Xin and Cai Hua walked behind, and Hu Zi walked in front of the two sisters, looking back at the two sisters from time to time, hesitating to speak, as if he had something to say.

Shu Xin deliberately slowed down, and Hu Zi gradually slowed down.

Then stand on the side of the road and wait.

"Is there something wrong?" Shu Xin asked.

In terms of seniority, she wants to call Huzi a cousin.

Huzi's great-grandfather and her great-grandfather were brothers, but later one was rich and the other was poor, so they moved less.

The situation of Huzi's family is actually as difficult as hers.

Huzi pursed his lips, took a few deep breaths and said, "Do you need firewood at home?"

"..."

Shu Xin was silent.

Needs are definitely needed. In winter, we need to burn a kang at home, and we need a lot of firewood.

Just asking people to buy in the end is not very good.

Huzi was in a hurry.

He saw someone delivering something to Shu Xin's house last night, so he sneaked closer, and it sounded like it was food.

He knew that the life of Shu Xin's family was not easy, but he really had no choice, so he thought that if Shu Xin's family needed firewood, he would go to the mountains to chop some in exchange for food.

Shu Xin nodded.

Hu Zi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it, "Then I'll go to the mountains and chop some, can I exchange food with your family?"

"Yes!" Shu Xin said.

"Thank you!"

After Huzi finished speaking, he walked away quickly.

Go fast.

"Sister..." Cauliflower whispered.

"Help if you can, it's not easy for him!"

Caihuamo, it took a while before she nodded slightly, "Sister, I understand!"

"Let's go, let's go back too, maybe the scallions will be ready for dinner and waiting for us!"

"it is good!"

The two sisters went home happily. Although selling calamus only cost [-] Wen, it was very important to the whole family.

"Eldest sister and second sister are back!" Douhua shouted joyfully, and rushed over.

Shu Xin knelt down and hugged Douhua, and kissed her hard.

"Hee hee hee!" Dou Hua laughed happily.

Shu Xin carried her home.

"Sister, mother cooked a lot of delicious food!"

Shu Xin paused, "Mum, did you cook?"

"Well, mother has boiled water and washed it with lukewarm water, and I'll help with the fire!" Douhua said crisply, her eyes sparkling, very pleasing.

“Great tofu!”

Mrs. Liu was already waiting at the door, smiling softly, "I'm back, go wash your hands and face, let's eat!" After thinking for a while, she said, "Would you like a bowl of mung bean soup first? I'll put it in the water tank to cool, It's a good time to eat!"

"Mom, I want it!" Shu Xin said, fetching water to wash his face and hands.

Cauliflower hurriedly said, "Mom, I want it too!"

"Hey!" Mrs. Liu responded happily, "Go into the house after washing. I scooped it up and brought it over. The dishes and chopsticks are all set!"

He happily went into the kitchen to scoop up mung bean soup.

She likes being needed and trusted like this.

In particular, the daughters naturally need her, and she feels very satisfied.

The rice is placed in the main room, there are not many dishes, but there are many, and it looks very delicious.

Mrs. Liu came in with mung bean soup, saw several daughters were standing waiting for her, and said with a smile, "I've been tired all morning, please sit down!"

Put the mung bean soup in front of Shu Xin and Caihua, "Drink it slowly, after walking outside for a whole morning, I feel hot all over!"

"Thank you, mother!" Shu Xin said with a smile.

"Thank you, mother!" Cauliflower continued.

Mrs. Liu sat down at the main seat, "Let's eat!"

"Ok!"

Shu Xin drank mung bean soup and sighed comfortably.

After running outside all morning, I am tired and thirsty. It is great to have a bowl of mung bean soup.

"mother!"

"Huh?" Liu Shi looked at Shu Xin.

"Brother Huzi wants to chop firewood for our family to exchange for food. I promise him that you will give him more food when the time comes!"

Mrs. Liu paused her hand holding the chopsticks, then nodded, "You did the right thing, Huzi is not easy, his father went to join the army, and there has been no news for more than ten years, his mother took his sister a few years ago and disappeared. , now my grandpa is not in good health, grandma is also sick, he is alone..." Liu Shi said, pursing her lips, "When it gets dark, you take the cauliflower and give it away quietly. Things have passed, I am still in confinement, it is not easy to go out and walk around!"

Shu Xin nodded.

Liu Shi is undoubtedly kind.

It's just that Shu Xin never expected that Huzi would come here with firewood on his back.

"Auntie, is Auntie there?"

The door of the yard was closed, but the door valve was not closed, but Huzi didn't push the door, but yelled outside.

Liu quickly put down her chopsticks, "I'll go and have a look!"

"Mom, I'll go with you!" Shu Xin hurriedly followed.

Liu Shi nodded.

He quickly opened the door and saw that Huzi was carrying a sling, which was full of pieces of wood, piled high.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said, "It's a tiger, come in!"

"Auntie, I..." Hu Zi said, looking carefully at Liu Shi, and then at Shu Xin.

Mrs. Liu understood, "Your sister, A Xin, came back and said it, and I agree, carry the firewood in quickly, and dump it in the corner!" Mrs. Liu pointed to the corner of the yard.

Shu Xin originally planned to use it to plant a few fruit trees here, but it is empty now, and it is just right to pile up firewood.

"Hey!" Huzi responded with a sigh of relief.

After entering the yard, he bent his waist and poured out the firewood, which was a neat move.

"Huzi, just eat at home, and go back after eating!" Liu said.

"Auntie, I, you don't have to..." Huzi quickly refused.

I smelled the aroma at the door, and my stomach, which hadn't eaten a few grains of rice for many days, was already hungry and growling.

"Listen to Auntie, eat at home, and take some home to give to your grandpa and grandma. Don't worry, Auntie will still agree to what Ah Xin promised you!"

Huzi's eyes were slightly red.

After several years alone, hitting a wall everywhere, he really couldn't hold on anymore.

Mrs. Liu patted Huzi on the shoulder, "A man bleeds but doesn't shed tears. My aunt knows you are a good person. You are willing to endure hardships and capable. You will have a good life in the future!" Mrs. Liu said, looking at Shu Xin, "Ah Xin, Go get some water!"

"En!" Shu Xin responded, and quickly went to fetch water.

Hu Zi blushed and followed behind Shu Xin, Shu Xin fetched water, handed the wooden basin to Hu Zi, thinking that he didn't have a cloth towel to wash his face, "Wait for me, I'll get you a cloth towel to wash your face!"

Hu Zi froze in place, and Liu Shi smiled and said, "Your sister, A Xin, is very strict, and you need a cloth towel for washing your face. I scooped up a bowl of mung bean soup for you, and come over to eat after washing!"

"Listen to Auntie!" Hu Zi said, his eyes were a little afraid to aim randomly.

He didn't know how capable Shu Xin was, but after seeing her a few times, he felt that she was very powerful.

Dare to say something like that, and even dare to chop Mrs. Shu with a kitchen knife, this courage makes him very admired.

Shu Xin quickly brought a blue cotton towel over and handed it to Huzi, "Brother Huzi, here you are!"
