Chapter 60

I didn't have money before, so I didn't think so much. Now that I have more money, I can do something.

After measuring, Li Hongxiang went back to the house to make clothes and shoe uppers.

After tearing two bolts of cloth back, he didn't dare to do it in the courtyard. Although his family lived at the end of the village, no one usually passed by. If he was seen, other people's family might be jealous.

Therefore, it is best to do this kind of thing indoors. It will be broad daylight and the room will be bright, so it won't hurt your eyes.

In the yard, Su Jinse and Zhang Zhiwen changed the water for the remaining snails, and there were still a lot left. They could be raised slowly, and they could still eat two meals.

Zhang Zhiqiang imitated his father's example, moved a small bench and sat beside him weaving straw sandals, while Zhang Yuxiu went into the house to help his mother make clothes.

At this time, I saw a head protruding from the courtyard wall, "Tie Zhuzi, I heard that you went to the county yesterday and brought back a lot of things?"

Zhang Tiezhu paused his straw sandal weaving hands, looked up, and saw that it was Zhang Dashuan from the next door, so he nodded: "Yes, I went up the mountain the day before yesterday to hunt some prey, and sold it in the county town yesterday, so there is no food in this house. So I bought some food and came back."

Although he came back late last night, some people in the village inevitably saw him, so Zhang Tiezhu didn't intend to hide it.

"Hey, did you catch prey when you went up the mountain the day before yesterday?" Zhang Dashuan's eyes lit up suddenly, no wonder he could always smell the scent coming from here next door, which made him greedy.

"Good luck. I caught a few hares, except I kept half of them at home, and the other half were sent to the old house. The rest were sold for food, otherwise this winter would be difficult. "Zhang Tiezhu laughed.

He didn't dare to tell the truth, but hid his mind. He had suffered a lot of grievances in the old house over the years, which made him understand that he should not publicize the benefits and keep a low profile.

Hearing this, Zhang Dashuan left resentfully.

Zhang Dashuan lived in the penultimate house at the end of the village. He was in his thirties and an old bachelor. Because his family was too poor, he had never been able to marry a wife.

His parents had passed away a long time ago, and his elder brother and sister-in-law couldn't take care of the whole family by themselves, so how could he manage him, Zhang Dashuan fed the whole family by himself.

As soon as Zhang Dashuan left, Zhang Tiezhu saw his mother, sister-in-law and third sister-in-law approaching. He hurriedly dropped his work, stood up and limped over, "Mother, sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, why are you here?" ?”

Jiang Yumei looked at her son with a kind smile on her face: "Zhu, did you come back from the county last night?"

Hearing this, Zhang Tiezhu still didn't understand, so he said: "I went there..."

"I heard that you brought back a few big bags of things, what did you buy?" Jiang Yumei looked into the room while talking.

Li Hongxiang, who was cutting cloth in the house, heard the movement in the courtyard and Jiang Yumei's voice, and hurriedly hid the new cloth in the cabinet. If her mother-in-law saw it, she might lose a piece of cloth.

She still has to save it to make clothes for her own baby.

"Mom, I didn't buy anything, I just came back with some food." Zhang Tiezhu was not good at lying, and said with a stiff expression.

The elder sister-in-law Yu Laidi is a smart person, and she knew that the fourth brother was not telling the truth at a glance, so she snorted: "Fourth brother, last night, people in the village saw that you brought back several large bags of things, and it wasn't just food."

The third sister-in-law, Cheng Wenying, is honest and honest. She has not spoken since she came. Her mother-in-law and sister-in-law insisted on her coming with her.

No way, she had no choice but to come.
