Chapter 82
"It's okay, Mom will get the bayberry out first."

"Grandma, come in and help your mother." Because Xiao Zhuzi was taking a nap in the room, Xiao Hua didn't dare to shout.

Granny Ruan, who was watching the well repair in the yard, followed into the house after hearing the sound. "What happened to Xiao Hua?"

"Grandma, we are going to sell the red bayberry today, so please come in and help your mother." The house of this house is the coolest, because the roof of the old lady's room is the last one, and there are There is a window for ventilation, so I spread the red bayberry on the floor of Mrs. Ruan, and Jing Niang would sprinkle some water from time to time.

"Okay, it's all here." Jing Niang said to Xiao Hua.Let Xiaohua know that in addition to giving away, and leaving for Xiaohua to fiddle with, the rest is there.

"Mother, please weigh it." Xiaohua looked at the four big bags on the ground, but she didn't know how much it weighed.

"Let me do it, this is heavy, and a woman's strength may not be able to support it." Shopkeeper Liu felt that no matter what, he was a man, and a man should do this kind of strength work.

"These are 318 catties in total." Shopkeeper Liu said that they reported one by one, and finally calculated a figure.Originally, Xiaohua thought about taking out the bag she kept for fiddle with and selling it together.But after thinking about it, it’s better to forget it. I can save it for canned bayberry or go to the village chief’s cousin’s house to see if there is any sugar. I’ll buy some and forget it.

"50 catties of dried bamboo shoots cost 350 Wen. The one in the urn is 2400 Wen. This 318 catties is 9540 Wen. The total is 12290, which is 12 taels of silver and 290 Wen. Do you calculate it right?" Shopkeeper Liu deserves to be The shopkeeper of the big restaurant, who weighed a few kilograms here, just casually calculated how much silver it was.

"That's right, that's the price. Shopkeeper Liu must remember that after a while, the bayberry will be sprinkled with water from time to time in the carriage, and when we return to the town, it will be put into the ice cellar immediately, and sour bamboo shoots and so on In the ice cellar, especially after it is opened, it should not be stained with oil, remember."

"Okay, remember. Do you calculate the money?" Shopkeeper Liu asked Er Shuan to carry the things to the carriage, took out the money, counted it, and handed it to Xiao Hua.

"Don't count, we have cooperated for so long, how can we not have this trust." Xiaohua handed the money to Granny Ruan directly.

"Then let's go, the urn will be brought to you next time." He waved his hand, picked up the last remaining bag of red bayberries and left.

"Xiaohua, this house is yours now. You can keep the money, and pay back everything that is due. I will go out and send some red bayberry to the well digger to quench his thirst." Mrs. Ruan handed the money to Xiaohua again After that, I went back to the room and took the red bayberry and went to the yard.

"Mother, the 2 taels of silver for digging the well has already been given to grandma, and the 12 taels and 290 wen here, in addition to the 350 wen for dried bamboo shoots, I have to give 140 wen to Aunt Wang, and because there were too many bamboo shoots, I took so much Pickle, tell Aunt Wang that when the time comes, I will give her a layer, and I have to give 240 Wen, which is 380 Wen in total, and you can take it to Aunt Wang. In addition, there are 11 taels and 910 Wen, and I have to return 5 taels to Boss Huang. There are only 6 taels and 910 coins left. Let’s go to grandma’s house tomorrow, you can give grandma 500 coins, mother, you haven’t been back for so many years, so I’ll give you more this time, it’s not easy for grandma’s house.” Said and handed it to Jing Mother wants to give Aunt Wang 380 essays.

Jing Niang saw that her 8-year-old daughter, who was less than 9 years old, kept the accounts in order, and she was always thinking of the family and her, and she was really sad.

"Okay, mother will listen to you. In the past few days, mother and your grandmother have made all the clothes, and the shoes are almost finished. After the Dragon Boat Festival, your birthday is coming soon, and you will be 9 years old by then. Mother I have nothing to give you, I just hope that you will be safe and grow up healthy and healthy. Xiao Zhuzi is about to wake up, mother goes to see him, you go to sleep first."

After dinner in the evening.

"Mom, what are we going to bring tomorrow?" Xiaohua didn't know where her grandma's house was or how far it was, and she didn't have the concept.

"Wear a suit and bring a suit. For the rest, take yesterday's wild rabbit to your grandma. This mother told your grandma. And your red bayberry to let your grandpa make wine. Er, Xiaohua, my mother wants to tell you something , don't get excited." Xiao Hua stretched her ears to listen to her mother, but suddenly saw Jing Niang pause.

"What's the matter?" Xiaohua was very puzzled, looking at her mother, she had a bad feeling.

"Didn't mother sell 4 bags of red bayberries?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?" Xiaohua didn't understand why her mother asked this question.

"If you still remember, there are only five bags and one basket of red bayberries. Half of that basket has been given to your Aunt Wang. The remaining one bag and half of the basket are almost enough to eat. Didn't you say you want Save two bags for wine making?" Jing Niang looked like a little daughter-in-law.

Xiaohua's forehead was covered with black lines when she heard it.This is where and what, why is there only one bag left, so how can I mess with it?
Seeing Mother acting like I didn't mean it, Xiao Hua sighed helplessly: "Mother, forget it, this time I won't mess with it, and I won't give it away. I'll take everything to grandma's house to brew a bar."

"Mother sent someone to bring a message to your grandma a few days ago, and your grandma is also waiting for us to go there." Jingniang is now a little closer to the nostalgia and more timid.

"Mother, how long will it take to go to grandma's house? How shall we go?"

"Your grandma's house is more than 5 miles away from our Chengjiakeng. It takes an hour to walk. This time we are carrying things, and the ox cart will take more than half an hour. This morning, my mother has already agreed with your cousin to rent them tomorrow. For the ox cart for a day, just give me [-] big bucks, and I’ll give you all the money.” Xiaohua nodded after hearing this.

Early the next morning.

"Xiaohua, get up quickly, your cousin's bullock cart is waiting outside." Last night Xiaohua listened to the buzzing all night, finally fell asleep, and felt that the heat was not so hot, she was about to get up, really Unwilling.

"Hurry up, I'm almost 9 years old, why not as good as Xiao Zhuzi." Jing Niang directly pulled her daughter up from the quilt.

"Mother, let me sleep for a while, just for a while." Xiao Hua lay dead on the bed, still muttering.

It's too painful to talk about not being full. In this damn ancient time, there is nothing, there are many mosquitoes, the weather is hot, Nima doesn't even have an electric fan, and there is not even a fan at home. The pain is dead.

Jing Niang didn't care what Xiao Hua said, she just pulled her up.Yesterday the well was dug and the axles were installed. After filling the new water tank for my mother-in-law today, I went directly to my daughter's house with a basin of water.

"Hurry up and get dressed yourself. After my mother loads the things into the car, she will come in to see that you have washed your face." Jing Niang found that facing her daughter who was getting more and more bedridden, she was getting stronger and stronger.

"Okay, hurry up and have breakfast, mother, go and see Xiao Zhuzi." Jing Niang came in hurriedly, and saw that the girl had just come out of the room, her hair was still in a mess.
