Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 127

This job was introduced to Xiuxian by Grandma Zhou of Taoyuan Village. Grandma Zhou's sister's daughter married to Xu's family in Siyanjing Village. Widow Xu is their family.Because they knew that it was not easy for their aunt to be a widow and was easily bullied, so they often took care of her a lot, and introduced the strong and straight-tempered Xiuxian to accompany her.Widow Xu has someone to accompany her to talk, and Xiuxian can earn two to three hundred yuan a winter, and she can take care of food and housing, which is naturally a good thing.

Going down from the official road, it takes half an hour to reach Siyanjing Village by taking the village road.This is the village where the human trafficker asked Xiuyao to explore the way last time. As soon as he entered the village, he saw a four-eyed well grass pavilion in front of him.

The four-eye well means that there are four wells on a well platform, and four people can draw water at the same time without hindering each other.

Xiuyao saw someone fetching water there, her eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw a girl wearing a floral dress, she hurriedly shouted: "Mother, my second sister!" She raised her hand and shouted: "Second sister!" Sister, Second Sister!"

Xiuxian was drawing water, when she heard the sound, she hurriedly brought up the bucket, turned around and saw Xiuyao and Mrs Liu, she happily put the bucket down and ran over, "Mother, Yaoyao, why are you here?"

Mrs. Liu took two quick steps and saw that Xiuxian was wearing a half-worn little floral jacket. Her skin, which was tanned in summer, had also whitened a lot. She may have eaten well, and her face was fleshy. See handsome, a pair of big black eyes bright, very good-looking.She felt relieved, and said: "Your aunt is at our house, I'll go buy some bones, and see you when the weather is good."

Xiuxian is used to being loud, and she doesn't want to know why my aunt will stay at her home when she gets married, but she said happily: "Mother, wait, I'll fetch water, let's go there together."

When she returned to the well platform, she found that a handsome young man was carrying her bucket and pouring water into her other bucket. He took a look at her and helped her carry another bucket.Xiuxian recognized it as the son of Widow Xu's sister-in-law, that is, Xu Zhenyi, the son of the niece of Thursday's grandmother in Taoyuan Village.

"Brother Xu, thank you very much." Xiu Xian thanked her, picked up the pole with water and left.

Seeing Liu Shi and Xiuyao, Xu Zhenyi asked, "Is that your mother and your sister?"

Xiuxian nodded, and said to Liu Shi and Xiuyao who came over: "Mother, this is brother Xu from grandma's house and my aunt's house on Thursday."

Xu Zhenyi hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, "Auntie." Xiuyao also hurriedly called her brother.

Xiuxian said goodbye to Xu Zhenyi, and led her mother and younger sister to Widow Xu's house.

Widow Xu is thirty-three in her twenties, she is demure, and she only guards her [-]-year-old son.She is reticent and doesn't like to deal with people. Fortunately, she has a little property at home, which is enough to support her life.

When Widow Xu saw Mother Xiuxian and her younger sister coming, she hurriedly invited them to sit in the room, and asked Xiuxian to bring some snacks for her younger sister, while she exchanged greetings with Mrs. Liu.

"Sister-in-law of the Qin family, thanks to you, Xiuxian, who came to be our company, otherwise we orphans and widows would have a problem with drinking water this winter." Widow Xu doesn't like human relations very much, but because she is Xiuxian's mother, so Also feel warmer.

Liu said with a smile: "My younger sister also has a lot of family members. It would be easy to find someone to help us. Thanks to your care, we Xiuxian can earn money to subsidize the family. Thank you very much."

Widow Xu smiled slightly, "It's just that we need each other." Of course, there are people in the family who are willing to help, but those families who are trying their best to bully their orphans and widows are not excluded.

Xiuxian grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Xiuyao, took two pieces of candy, and said to Liu Shi: "Mother, my aunt's family is the best, and they often help Aunt Xu to make troubles. As soon as his boy comes back, he comes to help again. It’s chopping firewood and picking manure.”

She was talking about Xu Zhenyi, Liu said with a smile: "My family must help each other."

Widow Xu sighed, "I'm busy too. My eldest nephew joined the army this year, so I'm afraid he won't come back later."

When Xiuyao heard her talk about enlisting in the army, she was a little curious. She didn't know whether it was a military household system or a recruiting system, so she asked, "Auntie, is Brother Xu's family a military household?"

Widow Xu glanced at her. Although Xiuyao was a little girl, she didn't put it off, and said with a smile: "That's not true, we don't have military households here, only the guards have military households. Anyone who goes to serve as a soldier here They were recruited and paid for.”

After Xiuyao understood, she ate melon seeds quietly and let the adults chat.

Seeing that it was almost time, Mrs. Liu wanted to say goodbye, so she took out two pairs of gloves and gave them to Xiuxian, "We made these at home. You wear them when you carry water and chop wood."

Xiuxian looked at it, she had never seen it before, and said with a smile: "Mother, how did you do this? I haven't seen it before."

Mrs. Liu smiled, the second girl didn't like being a female celebrity, she didn't understand even if she said it, so she said a few words casually, and said goodbye to Widow Xu.

Widow Xu went to the back room and took out a bunch of money, "Sister-in-law, it's the Chinese New Year, so I'll give you Xiuxian's wages first, and then you can take it back and think about it."

Mrs. Liu didn't want to take the money at first, but since Widow Xu gave it to her, she took it back. Anyway, it was Xiuxian's wages.

Widow Xu packed up a few other boys' clothes, put them on the kang and pushed them to Mrs. Liu, "Sister-in-law, we don't have any good things. These are some of our strong little clothes. If you can't wear them, you don't want to throw them away. Take them down." I was blind for nothing, my sister-in-law took it back and put it on for the kid."

Mrs. Liu refused twice, but Widow Xu insisted, so she accepted it. It is common for relatives and friends in the countryside to pick up children's old clothes for rewards, and everyone helps each other in this way.

Widow Xu wanted Mrs. Liu to stay for dinner, Mrs. Liu said that the family was still waiting, so she would not stay any longer, and told Xiuxian to take good care of Aunt Xu and little brother, and go home to celebrate the New Year when the construction period is over and the Xu family is ready for the New Year. Xiuxian answered all of them.

Just as he was about to leave, Xu Zhenyi happened to come over with two big carps, "Madam, my mother asked me to bring two fish, saying that the people at home are just eating them."

Widow Xu hurriedly said: "It's your aunt Liu's house in the former Taoyuan. They are still busy at home. They can't get rid of people. If they don't want to stay for dinner, they have to leave. You should take it back and give it to your father and the others."

Xu Zhenyi refused, seeing that Mrs. Liu was about to leave, he said: "Then give it to Aunt Liu to eat."

Mrs. Liu hastily declined, and Xiu Xian also said: "Brother Xu, this is not acceptable, we cannot take your things."

Xu Zhenyi was puzzled and said: "Why can't I have it? Besides, I didn't buy it with money. My elder brother and I went to Heli to surf the Internet. If it doesn't cost money, Aunt Liu will take it back and feed it to my younger siblings." Give Xiuyao the rope with the big carp hanging on it.

The big carp was not completely dead yet, when it swooped, it took Xiuyao staggeringly, and she exclaimed, "It's so heavy!"

Xu Zhenyi smiled and said: "Aunt Liu, don't refuse, it's not someone else, there is nothing you can't eat." Then he turned and went back.

Widow Xu said to Mrs. Liu: "Sister-in-law, don't refuse. My eldest nephew is good at handling fish. The more winter it is, the better he is at handling fish."

Liu's kindness was difficult but he accepted it, "Thank you so much." Then he left.

Widow Xu said to Xiuxian: "Go see your mother and younger sister off."

Xiuxian sent her mother and Xiuyao to the entrance of the village, and asked a few questions about the family. Liu didn't want her to worry about it, so she said everything was fine, and then took Xiuyao away.

After returning home, Mrs. Liu divided the bones into two, and said to Xiuyao, "Go and give half to your nanny's house."

Xiuyao didn't want to give it away, they were so tired of knitting gloves that they had to send the old woman bones after earning a meal, she was not reconciled, so she said: "Mother, my mother will definitely let you stew it and give it to her. "

Xiurong heard it and said, "She will think we don't give as much as you give."

Xiurong is reluctant to give it to others, and Xiuyao is in response to Mrs. Zhang and Second Aunt who don't want to give it away.

Seeing this, Xiuqin had no choice but to say: "Let me deliver it."

Mrs. Liu refused, and said to Xiuyao: "Girl, you can go and deliver the fish, and then send the fish to Grandma Zhou's house later." She knew that the girl hated Mammy, and she always had a grudge in her heart, but as a The daughter-in-law can't show any dissatisfaction.And she didn't want those things to cast a shadow on her daughters. They were children who hadn't grown up yet, and she didn't want the bad impression their mother-in-law left on them would affect their future sophistication.

If you want not to leave a shadow, you have to face those people and things that may leave a shadow.

Seeing that her mother insisted, Xiuyao had no choice but to say: "Okay." Picking up the half of the bone, she said again: "What if my mother wants me to bring it back and cook it together?" She didn't think the old lady would be willing to burn their own. Grass, it must have said, "Your family cooks half of the cooking, and you burn the same firewood, so cook them all and send them over."

Liu Shi said: "Then you take it back. She is a nanny, and she will do whatever she says about these trivial matters."

Xiuyao also knows this truth, but sometimes it's the trivial things that make life difficult for others, who will have big things every day.She went reluctantly with her bones in her hands. Since the separation, she basically would not go to Zhang's house unless necessary.

She knew very clearly in her heart that it was Zhang's family, not her mother's family. Although her grandfather was still a grandfather, because of the sweet potatoes and the separation of the family, Xiuyao became indifferent to Lao Qintou.Grandpa has just become a title, an identity, not what Qin Dafu Liu's people mean to her.

Xiuyao went to Lao Qin's house with her bones in her hands, and was stopped by Xiuting and Xiumei when she reached the door.

Xiumei pursed her lips and said, "Why are you coming to our house?"

Xiuyao didn't even look at her, "Is this your home? When will you have a home?" She walked in, and Xiumei immediately stopped her, "Don't go in."

Xiuyao sneered, "My mother asked me to deliver meat and bones, you don't want to eat it, do you? Okay, then I'll take it back." Then she turned and left.

When Xiumei and Xiuting heard this, they immediately rushed over to stop them, "Leave the meat and bones."

Xiuyao raised her eyebrows, people said that the villain is powerful, the front is arrogant and the back is respectful, these two girls are not happy, they just robbed her, it is really unpopular.She said: "If you say you will stay, you will stay? This is my family's. If I don't give it, I won't give it."

Xiu Ting immediately ran to complain to Mrs. Zhang, when Mrs. Zhang heard that Mrs. Liu had sent her the bones, she thought it was Mrs. Liu, and immediately said to Mrs. Qin, "Look, this branch, the old ones will go directly. It's time to be a landlord, and this old Liu family will never send us anything again."

Old Qin was so tired that he had just climbed up to catch his breath and smoked a pipe. He heard the old lady talking to him, and he said impatiently: "Old Liu's family used to give it to their daughter, you really thought they gave it to you?" .”

Mrs. Zhang muttered, she was used to Lao Liutou coming to deliver things every now and then, but she got separated and never came again, she felt uncomfortable.I always feel that it has become a common practice for Lao Liutou to come to give something regularly, and she still thinks it's not good if she doesn't give it away. She didn't find it until the family was separated. .

She felt uncomfortable, so she muttered, rushed to the gate of the courtyard a few steps, saw Xiumei arguing with Xiuyao there, and stopped Xiumei immediately.

Xiumei immediately said: "Xiuyao took the bone and wanted to give it to us."

Xiuyao ignored her, "My mother asked me to give half of the meat and bones."

Xiu Ting immediately said: "Why give half? It should be four, one for your family, give us three."

Xiuyao snorted coldly, but she knows how to settle accounts, let's dream about you, she said coldly: "Aren't you awake? My mother asked me to send half of it for grandpa and grandma, it's up to you What about a copper coin? If any of you don’t know shame and are greedy like pigs, you can try it.”

Although Xiumei and the others couldn't be prevented from eating, Xiuyao couldn't make them feel comfortable, so she had to respond to them.She has never been a magnanimous person, she is very stingy, and Xiumei and the others scolded so many ugly things at that time, wouldn't it be okay for her to scold them back?

As soon as Xiumei heard this, she immediately scolded back: "You are a pig." She was so angry that Xiuyao, a dead girl, always took advantage of her intentionally or unintentionally. If she was not smart, she would have been scolded to death by Xiuyao long ago.

Mrs. Zhang scolded angrily: "Shut up." She snatched the small pot of meat bones from Xiuyao's hand and looked at it, then immediately glared at Xiuyao, "Is this half?"

Xiuyao hummed, "Nurse, go to my house and say it."

Mrs. Zhang counted a few pieces and said: "Forget it, we've all cooked the meal, you take this back, anyway, you cook half of it, and bring it back when it's all boiled."

Xiuyao almost laughed, she agreed with Liu Shi's advice first.

But Mrs. Zhang said again: "Forget it, there is no need to send it away."

Xiumei and Xiuting were anxious, "Nurse." Xiuyao also looked at her as if she didn't know her. Could it be that the nanny suddenly changed her temper and didn't want to be so greedy for petty gains?Xiuyao thought it was impossible, she must have heard it wrong.

As a result, Mrs. Zhang continued: "Don't be too busy, we can eat in the past, so as not to send it over and it will be cold, and we will have diarrhea after eating."

Xiuyao scolded in her heart: a lazy and greedy family!She said: "Mommy, you also know that our house has no chopsticks, bowls, no space, and no food. If you go, remember to bring all the food, bowls and chopsticks with you!"

They really think they are being taken advantage of, and something will happen if you give you bones.

Mrs. Zhang saw that Xiuyao's eloquence was annoying, so she couldn't help but said annoyedly: "Okay, let's go back and cook it, and send it back." Seeing Xiuyao left, he shouted: "Your grandfather will send you some bones." ah."

Xiuyao hummed and left, she didn't bother to explain to her that her grandfather didn't come, otherwise she would have to talk to her about where she got the money to buy meat.

Really, she didn't believe that Mrs. Zhang didn't have money to buy some meat. Back then, my mother and sister were making insoles, and my eldest brother was at Zhou's house. Others always went out to help make money. Father and grandfather were able to weave straw sandals and cattail socks. Profitable.In addition to paying a dime, the family can use food or eggs in exchange for that. There are few places to spend money, so where does the money go?It's not that Mrs. Zhang didn't take it out.

Xiuyao returned home, put down the bones, and told Zhang Shi what she said, and Liu Shi also knew this was the result, so she let Xiu Rong stew all of it.
