Hong'er giggled and said, "Mother, I'm having a mud fight with Little Hutou."

"You got it all over your child, mother thought you were fighting with someone just now!" Ke Zhong muttered as he washed his son's hands and wiped his face.

"Mother, you said you can't fight with others, I remember." Hong'er said in a childish voice.

Ke Zhongshi smiled gratifiedly: "Hong'er is really my mother's good son."

Fortunately, the things that were shared by the family were divided that day, and the things in each house did not need to be divided, so the small table in Ke Shuisheng's house was not divided, otherwise there would be no table for eating at home.

Five people gathered around a small table. Ke Hanxue picked up a piece of meat and a chopstick of green vegetables for Hong'er, and suddenly remembered something, and said to Ke Mengshi: "Grandma, my mother and I are watching in the silkworm house, so you can just eat it." You don’t have to stay in the silkworm house all day long.”

"How can I do that? Your mother is not in good health, so I can help as much as I can." Ke Mengshi said, she is living with the big house now, thinking that she can share a little bit.

"Grandma, what if you're tired too? You're getting old, and it's not good for your health to stay in the silkworm room all day long."

After being reminded by his daughter, Ke Shuisheng immediately answered: "Mother, Xue'er's words make sense, you'd better not enter the silkworm house in the future."

If his mother was exhausted from helping him, he would never feel at ease all his life.

"Yes, mother, my health is much better than the previous few days, so don't worry about the silkworm house. If you can't take it easy, you can go out and visit, or watch Hong'er." Ke Zhong also said Afterwards, there are only two silkworm houses and there are not many mulberry gardens. Even without the help of my mother-in-law, I can still do it.

"Don't worry, my old bones don't get tired so easily!" Ke Meng said with a sigh.

"Grandma, I saw you supporting your waist just now, you must be tired!" Ke Hanxue pouted and looked at her grandma.

Ke Mengshi was taken aback for a moment, obviously he didn't expect his granddaughter to notice his gesture of supporting his waist, and even said it out.

"Really?" Ke Shuisheng put down the bowl, with a serious face: "Mother, you really don't want to enter the silkworm house again, or I will get angry!"

"That's right, mother, if you are exhausted, what do you want Xue'er, her second aunt, third aunt and uncle to think of us? You really can't enter the silkworm house anymore." Ke Zhong heard that her mother-in-law was so tired that she helped her. Waisted up, and his tone became serious.

"Grandma, just listen to us, don't go into the silkworm house again, if you get tired, we will feel sorry for you!" Seeing that the hard words didn't make sense, Ke Hanxue became soft and acted coquettishly on Ke Mengshi Come.

Hong'er swallowed a piece of meat, nodded half understanding: "I love grandma too!"

"Ha ha……"

Everyone was amused by Hong'er.

Ke Mengshi had nothing to do with the children, so he had to sigh deeply: "That's fine, I will help you clean up the house and cook for you in the future."

After eating, I packed up the bowls and chopsticks. After seeing Ke Yushi entering the house, Ke Hanxue ran into her parents' room anxiously.

"Father, mother, haven't you taken a nap yet?" Ke Hanxue lowered her voice when she saw the sleeping little man on the bed.

"I knew you were going to ask about that, how dare you sleep?" Ke Zhong blamed.

Ke Hanxue smiled: "Father, mother, how much money is left in our family?"

"There are still 250 Erwen at home, which is far away from that number." Ke Shuisheng lowered his head, his tone was not very high.

Ke Hanxue pondered for a while, then whispered: "Mom, why don't we go to grandma and grandpa's house to see if there is any money to borrow?"

Ke Hanxue thought about it, but besides the Zhong family, she really couldn't think of anyone else to borrow money from.

"This... I'm embarrassed to open my mouth." Ke Zhongshi looked embarrassed. Since she married into the Ke family, it's fine if she didn't help her natal family, and she always made her natal family worry about her. She was already very sorry , how can you open your mouth again?

"Yes, you can't borrow money from your grandpa." Ke Shuisheng also disagreed, how shameful he was to borrow money from his grandpa?
"Father, mother, it's not that I don't want to repay the loan. When we have money in the future, we will pay back double to grandpa!" Ke Hanxue paused, and then said: "Father, mother, if you can't open the mouth, As far as I'm concerned, I'm going to Uphill Village tomorrow."

"What's the matter, Xue'er, don't mess around!" Ke Shuisheng raised his face.

"Father, if you don't want to borrow from grandpa and the others, who else can you borrow from?"

"It's fine if you can't borrow it, who else can you borrow it from?" Anyway, he didn't approve of buying cattle.

"Father, you don't want to make money anymore?" Ke Hanxue said the word "make money" very lightly.

Hearing the word "make money", Ke Zhong's eyes flickered, glanced at her husband, pondered for a moment, and gritted her teeth: "Both of you don't hold back, I'll go tell my father tomorrow."

"The child's mother..."

"Father, don't persuade me. As long as the children can live a good life, I will have the cheek to beg my parents and my elder brother and sister-in-law again." For the sake of her children, Ke Zhongshi was going all out.

Ke Shuisheng looked at his daughter-in-law for a long time before he sighed and said nothing.

"Father, mother is going to Shangpo Village tomorrow, so how about we go to the town to ask the price?" Ke Hanxue asked his father again.

"Ask your mother."

"Okay, I'll take Hong'er to Shangpo Village tomorrow, and the two of you will go to the town." Despite Ke Zhong's usual weak appearance, he has a good idea when encountering problems.

Seeing that Ke Shuisheng was relieved, Ke Hanxue narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Father, remember to wake me up tomorrow."

"Got it, let's take a nap first."

The next day was not yet full light, the boss and his family talked to Ke Mengshi, and they all went out.

Ke Yushi secretly followed outside the courtyard, watched the family walking towards the entrance of the village, curled his lips, turned around and saw Ke Mengshi coming out, hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Mother, elder brother and his family are going to go to the village early this morning. where?"

"Your sister-in-law said she wanted to go back to her mother's house." Ke Mengshi said perfunctorily to Ke Yushi.

"Mother, are you lying to me? Didn't my sister-in-law just return to her mother's house the day before yesterday, and she brought back a big bag of food!" Ke Yushi said in a sour tone.

"Your sister-in-law told me so, what did I lie to you for?" Ke Mengshi did not tell Ke Yushi about the eldest son and granddaughter going to town.

Ke Jiang just came back from the mulberry garden, and when she heard her mother-in-law say that the elder brother and his family had gone to Shangpo Village, she smiled and said: "Mother, elder brother and sister-in-law are not here, so you can come to my place for lunch at noon."

"Okay." Ke Mengshi responded with a smile without thinking about it.

Ke Yu glanced at Ke Jiang disdainfully, he couldn't live anymore, and he was still here pretending to be kind!

Both Ke Jiangshi and Ke Mengshi saw Ke Yushi's contemptuous expression in their eyes, Ke Mengshi urged Ke Jiangshi with a sad face: "Ke Jiangshi, hurry up and go into the silkworm house to feed the silkworms." , I will eat at your house at noon, and your sister-in-law left some meat and a few eggs for me when she went out, and I will cook them later."
