peasant girl

Chapter 173, Abuse and Being Abused (5 more

Zhu Zhaodi has a soft temper, and she is also exceptionally tolerant.

Maybe it's these days that she really wants to separate the family, and now she even has to ask about cooking, which makes her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

She is not afraid of poverty, suffering, or sleeping in the open. She wants to be a family together, and through everyone's concerted efforts, she can live a comfortable and happy life.

"..." Zhu Erlang was also silent, "Are you hungry?"

I regretted it in my heart, why didn't I want to buy something to eat, let the children eat something to fill their stomachs first, regardless of buns and steamed buns.

"I'm not hungry!"

"Not hungry!"

Zhu Xiao also shook his head slightly.

"Then go to the kitchen and see if there is anything to cook. If Dad goes out tomorrow, he will buy you some meat buns!" Zhu Erlang said softly.

"Thank you dad!" Zhu Hua'er said happily.

Rushing into the house, he took the candy out for Zhu Erlang to eat.

Zhu Erlang smiled, but he still ate.

Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Hua'er went to the kitchen to cook, but Lu brought out the round-grained rice, and simply steamed the rice to eat. There was still meat from last night, so he reheated it casually, and then went to the backyard to pick two handfuls of green vegetables and stir-fry them.

Zhu Erlang was counting the money.

The money in his hand, adding up to five or three, saw Zhu Xiao tidying up the rags under the eaves, "Xiao Xiao!"

"Huh?" Zhu Xiao responded without looking up.

"I still have five taels of silver in my hand, so I can give you one tael and one tael each, do you think it's okay?" Zhu Erlang asked softly.

Zhu Xiao raised her eyes and looked at Zhu Erlang, "Don't give it to me, share my share with Eldest Sister and Hua'er, I have money!"

"That won't work. You earn what you have. I don't care if you buy things for the family. But if we earn together, we will share some of it for you. You can save it and make it into a dowry in the future!" Zhu Erlang said righteously.

Looking at Zhu Xiao with a pair of eyes, she was afraid that Zhu Xiao would refuse, "Xiao Xiao, dad has been working hard!"

"I know, you've been working hard, so let's do what you said!"

She saw Zhu Erlang's hard work, as did Zhu Zhaodi and Zhu Hua'er, so she treated him even better.

Let Zhu Erlang feel happy, feel that his choice is right.

"it is good!"

Zhu Erlang kept two taels for himself, and gave each of the three children one tael and one tael. Zhu Xiao went to find three purses and put all the money Zhu Erlang divided into them.

"Father, quietly put them under their pillows later, and give them a surprise!"

"Okay!" Zhu Erlang nodded quickly.

The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and only they could understand what it was like.

When Lu Shi and the others came back, they were somewhat downcast, because they didn't catch many sparrows, and there were too many sparrow catchers.

Old man Zhu sat on a stool and smoked a cigarette, while Mrs. Lu prepared meals in the kitchen.

Zhu Jinzhi and Zhu Jinhong were relieved to learn from Zhu Zongbao that Zhu Mingguang came back to pick up Xiao Lu to go to the town to see a doctor.

When they saw Zhu Erlang, the two ran forward quickly, "Second Uncle, how much did those sparrows cost?"

"Two taels to get 25 Wen!" Zhu Erlang handed the counted money to Zhu Jinzhi, and Zhu Jinzhi took it and ran away.

Without even saying thank you, Zhu Jinhong hurriedly followed.

"..."

Standing where he was, Zhu Erlang felt that the two children were too rude, not as good as his three daughters.

Fortunately, the three daughters are not like Dafang's two children.

Zhu Erlang smiled and went into the kitchen.

Zhu Jinzhi took the money and walked up to old man Zhu, and called out sweetly, "Grandfather!"

"Well, the sparrow sold for more than two taels of silver, can you give us one tael?" Zhu Jinzhi asked.

"..." Old man Zhu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I can give it to you, but you have to leave it to your mother for safekeeping, you know?"

"I know, thank you, Grandpa!" Zhu Jinzhi took a tael of silver and gave the remaining one tael and 25 Wen to old man Zhu.

Old man Zhu laughed.

But eyes full of pampering.

Zhu Xiao stood not far away and watched coldly, neither sad nor happy.

Whether it is biological or not, you can actually see it at this time.

As if feeling Zhu Xiao's gaze, old man Zhu turned his head and saw Zhu Xiao.

The coldness in those beautiful eyes made old man Zhu froze suddenly, neither is it right to put the money in his hand in his pocket, nor is it right to hold it in his hand.

"Heh!" Zhu Xiao sneered and walked away.

She doesn't care if the money is more or less, it's just that she can see it more clearly.

Old man Zhu lowered his head and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Grandfather..." Zhu Jinzhi whispered.

"Take the money and put it away!" After the old man Zhu finished speaking, he got up and went into the house.

Zhu Jinzhi smiled and went to Zhu Hua'er to show off.

In front of Zhu Zhaodi, she couldn't find a sense of existence, because Zhu Zhaodi didn't like to talk to her very much, she didn't dare to be in front of Zhu Xiao, only Zhu Hua'er was left.

"Hua'er, look, Grandpa gave it to me!"

Zhu Hua'er looked at Zhu Jinzhi.

If it was before, she must be jealous to death, but now, after going through so much, being enlightened by Zhu Xiao, and seeing Zhu Xiao's handwriting, "Don't cling to, don't settle, be a woman with integrity!" Don't be jealous anymore.

He said lightly, "Oh, that's great!"

But he deliberately showed Zhu Jinzhi his ears, "We're going to get our ears pierced today!"

"..." Zhu Jinzhi choked up.

She had pierced her ears a long time ago, but she didn't buy earrings.

"So did you buy the earrings?"

"I bought it. Have you seen this silver needle? Wait a few days for your ears to heal and the pain will stop, and you can wear earrings!" Zhu Hua'er said, seeing that Zhu Jinzhi's face was not very good, she smiled and said, "We I also bought other ones, which are very expensive!"

"..." Zhu Jinzhi's face turned dark with anger, and he stomped his feet, "You guys have no money!"

"I didn't have any money before, but didn't my dad catch sparrows? After selling the sparrows, he bought us fabrics to make clothes and sugar. The pork we ate yesterday was also bought by my dad!" Zhu Huaer said tenderly. .

Zhu Xiao and Zhu Zhaodi stood aside, pursing their lips and smiling.

Zhu Hua'er's back was straight, but she was not afraid of Zhu Jinzhi.

Dare to ridicule go back, very good!

"..." Zhu Jinzhi pursed his lips angrily, "I, we are rich now, and my mother will also buy fabrics to make new clothes for me!"

"Really, then when will you buy it? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, hahaha!" Zhu Hua'er said, ran to Zhu Xiao, and even made a face at Zhu Jinzhi.

"Hmph!" Zhu Jinzhi stamped his feet angrily.

She was here to show off, but Zhu Hua'er showed off.

She didn't believe it anyway, Zhu Hua'er and the others bought earrings.

I don't believe it at all.

Zhu Zongbao sat on the side, silently, just pretending that he didn't see anything.

While eating, I became angry and weird again.

Zhu Xiao didn't have a big appetite, so he ate some rice and vegetables, and drank half a bowl of soup before putting down his chopsticks.

Zhu Hua'er had a good appetite and ate two bowls of rice.

Old man Zhu wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say, so he winked at Mrs. Lu.

Lu looked at it, thought for a while, and said, "Erlang, you have quite a few taels of silver in your hand now!"

Zhu Erlang raised his eyes and looked at Lu Shi, "There are a few taels, but I plan to keep them in case I need to use them, or keep them as dowry for the three children. If you want me to take them out, don't say that." If you think I'm not filial, let me out, except for the things that Xiaoxiao and the others brought down from the mountain, I don't want anything from this family, except for that knife!"
