Chapter 21

Ke Yushi put the bag away and walked out quickly, with a greedy gleam in his eyes: "Uncle, please don't give me this thing. Anyway, your second brother didn't buy rice today."

Ke Hanxue almost sneered, this woman's face is really thick enough, their family distributed a large bag of rice yesterday, of course there is no need to buy it!
Ke Baosheng put away the smile on his face and said, "Second sister-in-law, this is food for mother, how can I give it to you?"

Seeing this, Ke Mengshi said: "Shuisheng, since Baosheng told you to give it to you, you can keep it. If you are sorry, Baosheng will not buy it again."

Ke Yushi pouted, and muttered in his mouth that Ke Mengshi was eccentric, but Ke Mengshi pretended not to hear, and continued to help carry things on the cart.

Ke Jiangshi was reluctant to spend money, and only bought a few bowls and some food. She planned to go to the mountain to get the chopsticks herself. As soon as she entered the house, she called her two daughters in.

"Mom, did you also buy delicious food?" Ke Hanqin looked at Ke Jiangshi with sparkling eyes.

As the older sister, Ke Hanzhu couldn't help but reprimanded her after hearing her sister's words: "Qin'er, now that the family is separated, you can't just think about eating in the future!"

"Can't you eat delicious food after the separation?" After all, Ke Hanqin is only an eight-year-old child, and she is also ignorant of what separation means.

Ke Jiangshi secretly sighed, took out the half steamed bun, and waved to the two daughters: "Come here, you must be starving if you haven't eaten at noon, divide this steamed bun first, mother will cook porridge now. "

"Mom, we have sweet potatoes for lunch," Ke Hanqin said.

Ke Jiangshi was taken aback: "Where did you get the sweet potatoes?"

Ke Hanzhu leaned into Ke Jiangshi's ear with a smile and whispered: "Mother, grandma brought us half a bag of sweet potatoes while the second aunt was going to the mulberry garden in the morning. I cooked some to eat with my sister, and I will give it back to you." There are two remaining."

Yesterday, Ke Jiangshi was still puzzled, so she said that there was still half a bag of sweet potatoes in the kitchen, why didn't her mother-in-law share it out, it turned out to be for herself, Ke Jiangshi's eyes were red.

The three meals of the Ke family have always been Ke Jiangshi's work, so no one except Ke Mengshi and Ke Jiangshi knows that there are sweet potatoes left in the house.

"Zhu'er, Qin'er, did your second aunt and sister He'er see when you were eating sweet potatoes?" Ke Jiangshi asked again.

"When I was cooking sweet potatoes, my second aunt saw me, and she asked me where the sweet potatoes came from, but my grandma had already told me and my sister, if the second aunt asked, I would tell her that the sweet potatoes were borrowed from Tongsuo Niang Yes." Ke Hanzhu said with a smile on her face.

"That's good!" Ke Jiangshi didn't want to make her mother-in-law difficult because of the half bag of sweet potatoes.

"Mother, don't worry, in a few years, I will follow Sister Chun'er to the silk house in the town to earn money and buy food for the family, so that you and your sister won't go hungry." Ke Hanzhu promised her mother with a smile.

"Mom, when I grow up, I want to make money to buy food for my mother!" Ke Hanqin also followed suit, shaking Ke Jiangshi's arm and said.

"Okay~ Mother will wait for my daughter to earn money to support her." Looking at the two sensible daughters, Ke Jiangshi's gloomy mood was swept away.

As soon as Sister Ke Hanzhu ate the steamed buns, Ke Baosheng shouted in the yard, "Zhuer, Qiner, come out and share the sugar!"

"Mom, I'm going to share the candy!" Ke Hanqin said, and ran out in a hurry.

Seeing Zhu'er looking at her with hope, Ke Jiangshi smiled and said, "Go."

"Mom, I'll go then." Ke Hanzhu also ran out happily.

Standing under the eaves, Ke Hanxue watched Ke Baosheng quarrel with a few children, and unconsciously raised the corners of her lips. Her uncle seemed to be indifferent to the sisters-in-law at home, but since just now he Looking at the rush to pay for the car for the third aunt, he is also a man with a cold face and a warm heart. Such a man who is not too bad, why hasn't he married at this age?

"Xue'er, here are a few more candies for you." After distributing them to the children, Ke Baosheng went to the eaves and handed the remaining candies to Ke Hanxue.

"Thank you uncle, I don't eat candy." Ke Hanxue smiled and didn't reach out to pick it up. Speaking of which, this was the first sentence she said to her uncle after arriving here.

"Is there any child who doesn't like candy? If you really don't want to eat it, leave it to your brother!" Ke Baosheng said and stuffed the candy into her hand.

"Then thank you, uncle!" It was rare that Ke Baosheng even remembered his younger brother's role, and Ke Hanxue thanked him with a smile.

As soon as Ke Shuisheng got home, he told Ke Zhong about how his daughter bargained with the owner of the grain and oil store in the town.

Ke Zhongshi laughed when he heard this.

"I was so worried when I saw Xue'er like that, can you still laugh?" Ke Shuisheng glanced at Ke Zhongshi, frowning tightly.

"My daughter is called knowing how to live. What are you worried about?" Ke Zhong glared at her man angrily.

"You didn't see Xueer's appearance at that time. The boss said that he encountered a bandit."

Ke Zhongshi still smiled: "I think Xue'er is doing the right thing. Those businessmen like to deceive people. If Xue'er doesn't do this, won't you have to waste money again?"

"It doesn't make sense to you, I'm going to tidy up the mulberry field!" Ke Shuisheng got up and went out after speaking.

Ke Hanxue walked into the room and asked suspiciously: "Mother, have you had a fight with dad? Why do I think dad's face is not very good?"

"Your father is an elm head, don't pay attention to him!" Ke Zhong scolded.

Ke Hanxue chuckled, it seemed that she was thinking too much.

"Mother, father asked us to go to grandma's house tomorrow to bring Hong'er home."

"It's time to bring Hong'er back," Ke Zhong pondered, "Let's go tomorrow morning."

"Okay, mother, then I'll go to the river to wash clothes."

"Didn't I wash the clothes last night?" Ke Zhong asked doubtfully.

"I just changed it." She went to Xiangshui Village to take the bullock cart in the morning. She was sweating all over, and she couldn't stand it without changing the stinky clothes.

"Go then."

"The old cow who returned home at night on the small road in the country is my companion, with a blue sky and a sunset on his chest..." Ke Hanxue walked towards the river with a tub in her mouth, humming a little tune.

"Save... life, save... help!"

Suddenly, a cry for help came from the river, and Ke Hanxue quickened his pace and ran to the river.

Isn't the lady Ge in the middle of the river?
Ke Hanxue threw the tub, jumped into the river, and pulled Aunt Ge up from the river.

"Ms. Ge, why did you fall into the river?" Ke Hanxue asked, wiping the water off her face.

It just occurred to her that the river at this location is not very deep, so it's not necessary to call for help, right?

"It turned out to be Xue'er!" Aunt Ge looked at Ke Hanxue in shock: "I was scooping water upstream just now and wanted to pour vegetables, but I accidentally dropped the spoon into the river, so I chased it all the way down , It was almost enough, but one accidentally fell into the river, and the foot was sprained."
