Chapter 215

After an unknown amount of time, she stared for a while, and then heard Xiuyao talking to someone in the yard.She hurriedly got up and went down to look in her big thick cattail socks, when she saw Xiuyao and a young man walking in.

The man greeted her when he saw her, Xiu Rong frowned, blamed Xiu Yao and said: "Yao Yao, parents are not at home, no one will come home to get them."

Xiuyao explained with a smile: "Sister, this is Boss Jing's eldest son, Jing Liang, you can call him Brother Jing." Jing Liang is not an outsider, and often comes to help her family with work, just like a relative, Moreover, he is very responsible, and Xiuyao is also very close to him.

Xiu Rong curled her lips, seeing that he was wearing a very old padded jacket, although it was not torn, it was also shabby, his whole body was shivering from the cold, his cheeks were bruised, he looked rustic.She didn't call, Gu Zi went into the house, she knew that Jing Liang was a poor boy who was always on credit.

Xiuyao asked Jing Liang to sit in the main room, she poured hot water for her, but Jing Liang was terrified, waited outside for a long time, tired, hungry and cold, only to find that the adults were not at home now when he came, he was a little upset Dare to enter the house.

Xiuyao took out her account book, "Brother Jing, how is your vermicelli selling?"

Jing Liang gasped: "It's not bad, many people buy it and try it."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Tell me the truth, the price is a bit expensive, I'm afraid not many people will buy it."

Jing Liang nodded, "Yes, the price is a little expensive. If someone buys a catty of meat and then buys a catty of vermicelli, it's better to buy two catties of meat. Only those with richer families will buy a catty and go back to taste it."

Xiuyao also knew about the situation he was talking about. Everyone had reacted to the situation before, but the shopkeeper Feng's house sold well, and the restaurants and mansions in the city bought a lot.Shopkeeper Feng also said that he even sold them to other provinces and provincial capitals. Because of the shortage of goods, he sold them at fifty cents a catty.

Xiuyao suggested: "Why don't you just sell Fudou, melon seeds, and other snacks, and forget about the vermicelli first."

Jing Liang knew that his capital was small now, that is to say, by working hard, he would not be able to become a fat man. He paid the previous payment, and had to credit part of the melon seeds and blessing beans.

After talking about the business, Xiuyao asked: "Brother Jing, you haven't eaten yet, you can eat my hot meal."

Jing Liang's face was embarrassed, but he was cold, and if he didn't eat, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to make it home, which would make things worse: "I'm really hungry, thank you very much."

Xiuyao smiled and said: "What's the matter with embarrassment, you can come and walk around as if we are relatives." She held grass and lit a fire, made dough rolls, and then asked Xiurong to fry an egg.

Jing Liang hurriedly said no, just a little pickle is enough.

Xiurong glanced at him, with a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, this kind of person knows how to pretend to be pitiful, she said: "It's so troublesome, it's getting late, let's go after eating."

Jing Liang bit his lip, and took a quick look at her. Xiurong was wearing a red jacket, because she didn't go out, her hair was loosely tied in a loose braid in front of her chest, her snow-white face was intertwined with her black hair and Against the background of the dim room, there was a dazzling feeling, he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look any more.

Xiuyao warmed up the meal for him, he devoured it hungrily, and then hurriedly left, Xiuyao sent him out, and when he walked into the yard, he heard Xiurong's mocking snort, he couldn't help but stagnate, a breath of cold wind entered his lungs In the room, he coughed violently.

Xiuyao looked at him with concern: "It's all right."

He hurriedly shook his head, "It's okay." He took his bag and bid farewell to Xiuyao, and strode away.

Xiuyao closed the courtyard door and went back to the house. Xiurong said dissatisfiedly: "Don't give him credit anymore. Look at him, he can still make a lot of money. It's a waste of money. Why don't you just give it to Shopkeeper Feng, lest you follow him?" I’m tired.” Basically all the Fudou at home was given to Shopkeeper Feng at one time, the dried sweet potatoes were kept to feed the pigs, and the raw sweet potatoes from my grandmother’s house were also kept to make vermicelli.It can be said that these blessing beans at home were specially left by Xiuyao to help Jing Liang, and Xiurong felt that it was not necessary at all.

Xiuyao smiled and said: "Sister, you are not a cold person, why are you so mean to Brother Jing's family. His father is dead, it's very pitiful, and he helped us a lot by doing business with us in the past. Now we're all right, let's push it, that's what we should do."

Xiurong snorted: "We didn't go to eat at his house before, and his father didn't give us too much money. Everyone is just doing business, we come and go, we are not a relief center."

Xiuyao persuaded her: "Third Sister, anyway, they didn't treat me badly. I just want to pull them out of my heart." People who treat her badly will not be kind to them, but they are kind to her. Help if she thinks she can.Anyway, she won't lose anything, and she is also happy to see her family getting better again.

Xiurong couldn't convince her, and she couldn't change Xiurong's point of view, so the two had no choice but to stop talking.

Xiuyao rubbed her hands and breathed out: "When the eldest brother comes back, let him take us to the market to look around and buy a charcoal stove."

In the evening, snowflakes fell again, and when it got dark, Xiuyao and Xiurong went to the entrance of the village to pick up their elder brother with lanterns.As the snow fell harder and harder, Xiurong took Xiuyao's hand, feeling her little hand was cold, so she squeezed together with her, and Xiuyao also squeezed into her arms.

Although the two had disagreements on Jing Liang's matter, the sisterhood did not affect them at all. They stomped their feet, and after a while, seeing a light came, Xiuyao said happily, "Brother is here."

Qin Ye drove the donkey cart over, with a stick on the shaft and a white paper lantern hanging on it, Xiuyao and Xiurong went up to meet him, "Brother, why did you come back?"

Qin Ye jumped out of the car with a smile and stomped his feet: "Wait a minute, I told my grandpa that it was cold at home, so he asked my second brother to go to the small market at my uncle's house to get a charcoal stove and a charcoal cage, and I will wait Take it back together."

The three brothers and sisters went home together. On the way, Qin Ye told them something new. It's freezing cold now, and the business in the Sun's small market is very good.If everyone finds it cold and doesn't like to go to the market, they go to his house to buy things. Nowadays, the charcoal stove and charcoal cage are selling very well.Although the farmhouse burns a fire on the kang, the underground room is still cold after all.After all, it's not the kind of place where your jaw will freeze, so if you don't burn a fire wall, it's a kang.

But the kang is hot on the kang, and other places are still cold. Rich people burn charcoal stoves and charcoal cages, and poor people have no choice, even if the kang is not hot.

Everyone was very happy, talking and laughing and going home, it was not so cold anymore.

When passing by her grandpa's house, Xiuyao asked Xiurong to call for Xiuli. Anyway, her parents were not at home, and Xiuli was more free when she came. The food at home was better than that of the nanny's, and she slept more comfortably.

And in the evening, the eldest brother watched the show, and the second sister and the two of them were at home, which was even more lively with Xiuli.

Xiurong went to call for Xiuli, and the second aunt saw that the eldest room wanted her daughter to accompany her, so she started to tease her again, saying: "Xiuli has a cold and cough, it's so cold to go out."

Xiurong said: "Second Lady, our house is very hot." It seemed that she really wanted to point to her daughter as a companion, because Xiuyao was afraid that Xiuli would suffer at home, so she asked her to go to their house, and then she could eat something good , work less, and sleep more comfortably at night.This second aunt really made her respond as always.

Mrs. Zhang heard it and said: "Then let Xiujuan go, there are too many people and I can keep you company."

Xiurong immediately waved her hand: "Forget it." If you don't pull it down, who cares.

But Xiuli ran to Old Qin and said, "Grandpa, I'm going to sleep with Sister Yaoyao."

Old Qintou agreed, "Let's go, girls, let's have fun together."

Xiujuan and Xiumei Xiuting also want to go. The aunt and uncle are not at home, only Xiurong and Xiuyao are there. They are still many sisters, so they can bully them when they go.Unexpectedly, Xiurong was very arrogant and didn't give a chance at all. Old Qin thought that Xiumei was noisy, so he said to Zhang: "They are such big people, they still look like children. Look at Xiuyao and others, Looking at these few at home, I don’t know how to take care of them. It’s embarrassing to go out one by one.”

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "It's not me who gave birth, I can't blame me. Everyone in the grandma's door is stupid and stupid, how can the little boy be better?"

Qin Chan heard it from inside, and couldn't help biting his lips, he was helpless and in pain.When he was young, he didn't feel it, but when he grew up, he felt more and more ashamed and hopeless.He has always liked the aunt and uncle very much, and also likes to be close to them, but his mother and third aunt always reprimand him for saying that the eldest house is a bad person.I always thought of pushing them out and separating them, so as to help Dafang raise the children.But once it was separated, the aunt's family became more and more capable, and they were jealous again, thinking all day about how to get the money and land from the big family's family back to grandpa, and then everyone re-divided the family, or they wanted to let the big family live every day. How much do you pay home every month?

A few days ago, the third aunt instigated Mammy to tell Grandpa and tell Sister-in-law that Daddy and Sandada should go to Lao Liu's house to help and earn wages.The nanny went to talk to the aunt, but the aunt said she didn't care about this matter, she had to talk to the grandpa of the child.

The third aunt gave Grandpa an idea and took them there directly. She didn't believe that Lao Liu's family could be so cheeky and return them directly without saving face and leaving them to work.As long as you stay, why don't you give me twenty or thirty dollars a day?

When the grandfather came back, he said that he would keep his father and give him [-] yuan a day, and the third aunt scolded behind his back again, thinking that the old Liu family was stingy, living a good life and forgetting relatives, and not bringing relatives to make a fortune.

Qin Chan felt ashamed and angry. It was obviously something wrong with his own family, so he insisted on saying that others did not give him face.If it wasn't for Uncle San not being trusted, would he be able to do that?Otherwise, why did they leave dad behind?

The third uncle also had to make sarcastic remarks, saying that his father would flatter people, so Lao Liutou let him stay, which was really confusing right and wrong. He didn't say a word other than calling uncle when his father went.

Listening to Mammy scolding him now, he really felt like he was on his back. Could it be that this was the case all his life?Just as confused and wimpy as my father, looking for a woman like my mother who complains and swears all day long as a daughter-in-law?Or like the third uncle, plotting against his brother all day long, marrying a woman who only plots against the family?
And look at my younger sisters, one is more unpopular than the other, except for Xiumei's eagerness to eat, she stumbling around all day long, for fear of doing more work.Xiujuan is not very shrewd, but she has learned to be more and more delicate, as if she has a little appearance and is a big lady.As for Xiuting, she was full of evil intentions to plot against her sisters, instigating Xiumei to be a gunman, just like her mother.

But what can he do?He told his mother and sister to stay away from his third aunt and Xiuting, but his mother and sister scolded him for being useless.

He can't do this anymore!
