peasant girl

Chapter 31, Sad

Zhu Xiaoyi tried hard, and saw the hatchet nailed to the cutting board.

Take a deep breath.

A penny beats a hero.

Zhu Jinzhi quickly brought over the money, a total of 53 Wen, packed in a simple purse.

Zhu Xiao looked at the purse and reached out to hold it in his hand. Zhu Jinzhi looked at it with great reluctance, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Xiao, you will pay me back, right?"

"Well, I will return your 65 essays then!" Zhu Xiao responded.

Get ready to go out.

Zhu Jinzhi reached out and grabbed Zhu Xiao's sleeve, and said cautiously, "That, that..."

"Stop dawdling, help me boil some hot water, I'll go and buy some sugar, boil it and dissolve it for my eldest sister to drink!"

After Zhu finished his novel, he drew back his sleeves and left quickly.

Zhu Jinzhi chased after a few steps, stood at the door, and looked at Zhu Xiao who was leaving.

Although Zhu Xiao is fierce, she treats Zhaodi and Hua'er very well.

Think about your money.

Zhu Hua'er stomped her feet and went to help Zhu Xiao boil the water.

Zhu Xiao left the house with the money and went directly to the entrance of the village.

On the way I met some girls in muslin cloth.

It's Zhu Jiaojiao, the precious daughter of the village chief's family, and a few of her playmates. It seems that they are going to Zhu Fugui's house to find Zhu Danniang, do embroidery work with Zhu Danniang, and learn some crafts along the way.

Zhu Xiao walked forward slowly.

In this village, Zhu Jiaojiao is the sweet child who is held in the hands of her parents, and Zhu Xiaosan's sisters are the bitter children who have been stepped into the dust.

Zhu Jiaojiao and the others disdain to talk to Zhu Xiao.

When Zhu Xiao staggered away from them, several people shouted in disgust, "It stinks!"

Zhu Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to them, and walked faster.

Zhu Jiaojiao and the others looked at Zhu Xiao who was going away, and smiled gloatingly.

"Jiaojiao, let's go to Danniang's house!"

"En!" Zhu Jiaojiao responded.

She didn't like Zhu Xiao before, but she doesn't like it anymore after seeing him today.

Zhu Xiao arrived at the entrance of the village and entered a small shop.

The shop was very clean. A woman in her twenties was hugging a chubby boy. Seeing Zhu Xiao, she smiled, "What do you want to buy?"

"I want to buy some candy!"

"How much does it cost, I'll weigh it for you!"

Zhu Xiao opened the purse, counted thirty Wen, and said, "Thirty Wen!"

The woman looked at Zhu Xiao, then at the purse in Zhu Xiao's hand, smiled and weighed [-] Wen of brown sugar for Zhu Xiao.

Place on fresh, clean plantain leaves and wrap lightly.

"Be careful, don't break the banana leaves!"

"Thank you!"

Zhu Xiao took the candy and left.

The woman looked at Zhu Xiao who was leaving, and shook her head slightly.

He is capable, but it is a pity that he was born in such a family, but compared to earlier, he seems to be more resolute and sensible.

Zhu Xiao came back with the sugar, went directly to the second room, found a jar, cleaned it, and put the sugar in it.

Zhu Huaer looked at the banana leaf, took it and touched it with her tongue, "Second sister, the banana leaf is also sweet!"

"..."

Zhu Xiao stood aside, pursed her lips slightly, and turned away, unable to bear to watch this scene.

Mrs. Zhao should have money in her hands, but she never thought about buying something for her child. Is such a person really worth her effort to change?Is it worth their expectation?
Step out of the house and go to the kitchen.

Zhu Jinzhi had already boiled the water. Seeing Zhu Xiao, he hurriedly asked, "Xiao Xiao, have you bought all my money for sugar?"

"What's your money? You lent me, it's my money, after I pay you back, it's your money!" Zhu Xiao said lightly.

Seeing that Zhu Jinzhi was a little unhappy, thinking about needing Zhu Jinzhi's help in the future, he said, "Would you like to go to our house, and I'll give you a piece of candy!"

"Candy for me?" Zhu Jinzhi said.

"Well, are you going or not?"

"go with!"

"Then help me get a few bowls!"

"okay!"

Zhu Jinzhi responded quickly.

Follow behind Zhu Xiao.

Zhu Xiao carried a clay pot with boiling water in it, went back to the house, put brown sugar in it, and dissolved a pot of sugar water.

"Hua'er and Jinzhi, each of you scoops up a bowl!" Zhu Xiaoxiao said, scooping up a bowl and putting it aside, scooping up another bowl, and feeding Zhu Zhaodi with small sips.

Zhu Jinzhi hesitated for a moment, scooped up a bowl and sat on the side to sip.

Zhu Hua'er glared at Zhu Jinzhi, scooped it up and sat aside, holding a bowl without drinking.

I'm afraid I can't get a bowl out of the basin.

Eldest sister wants to drink more, how about second sister?What does the second sister drink?
Zhu Xiao fed Zhu Zhaodi well, took a bowl at the side, and gave it to Zhu Erlang.

Zhu Erlang sat on a stool in the room.

in silence.

When Zhu Xiao came in with sugar water, he saw that the room was in a mess.

Heart sneer.

Thinking that when Zhu Erlang came back, he knew that Mrs. Zhao had returned to her natal family, so he began to look for the money he gave Mrs. Zhao, but he couldn't find it, so he sat at the table in a daze.

Gently put the bowl in front of Zhu Erlang.

"Little?" Zhu Erlang called softly.

"Ok?"

"Did you dissolve the water in sugar again?"

"Well, I asked Zhu Jinzhi for the borrowed money, and then went to the shop at the entrance of the village to buy candy!" Zhu Xiao said softly.

Zhu Erlang raised his eyes.

Looking at Zhu Xiao.

Stunned, depressed.

"Aren't you and Jin Zhi not getting along? Why would she lend you money?"

And how much money can a child's family have?

"Because I took the kitchen knife and told her to calculate the interest, she lent me the only 53 Wen, and I will pay her back 65 Wen!" Zhu Xiaoxiao was careless.

But every word poked Zhu Erlang's heart.

His daughter, in order to drink sugar water, even asked someone to borrow money to buy it.

I had it at home, but my mother took it away and locked it in a cabinet.

For Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao took it back to her mother's house.

"Drink it, I'll cook pigweed to feed the pigs, and after the pigs are fed, I'll go hunt pigweed!" Zhu finished his novel and left the room.

Zhu Erlang looked at the bowl of sugar water.

With trembling hands, he took small sips and drank.

The sugar water is sweet, but he has suffered from it.

Zhu Xiao went back to the room, poured the remaining sugar water into a bowl and drank it, Zhu Huaer handed her own bowl in front of Zhu Xiao, "Second Sister, I still have it here, I haven't drunk it, it's clean, let's drink it together! "

Zhu Xiao shook his head, "Hurry up and drink it, come over and cook pigweed to feed the pigs, and we'll go hunt pigweed later!"

"Oh!"

Zhu Jinzhi also quickly drank the sugar water, pulled Zhu Xiao and asked, "Xiao Xiao, can I still drink sugar water next time?"

"You still want to drink?" Zhu Xiao raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I want to!"

"Okay, Hua'er and I will go into the mountains tomorrow, then come and help my eldest sister go to the hut once, during lunch, bring some to my eldest sister, and then dissolve a bowl of sugar water for her, if you do well, no Just by giving you sugar water, I can give you two pennies a day!"

"Two pennies a day?" Zhu Jinzhi asked.

Quickly count your fingers.

Two wen a day means twenty wen in ten days.

With Zhu Zhaodi like this, at least she has to rest for a few days, so she helped Zhu Zhaodi to a hut and fed her some water for only two pennies.

"En!" Zhu Xiao nodded.

"Okay, I'll do it, I'll do it!"

Zhu Xiao reached out and patted Zhu Jinzhi's shoulder, "Hua'er, are there any eggs left?"

"and also!"

"Give her one!"

Zhu finished the novel and left the house.

Although Zhu Hua'er was reluctant, she still pulled out a cloth bag from the corner, which contained four eggs, and gave one to Zhu Jinzhi.

"Hey!"

Zhu Jinzhi took it with a smile and put it in his pocket.

Happily left the house.

But I thought in my heart, Zhu Xiao and the others actually have eggs, does Grandma know?

In the past, Zhu Jinzhi would definitely go to Gaomi, but now, she not only refused to go, but also secretly concealed it.

One is that Zhu Xiao owes her money.

The second is that with Zhu Xiao, he can drink sugar water and eat eggs.

There must be something more delicious in the future.

If Zhu Xiao doesn't hit her in the future, maybe, maybe...
