Peasant woman's day

Chapter 10

Fu Rong's movements stopped, Gu Qingchen still had such a past.She wanted to gossip, but Aunt Huang kept her mouth shut. Instead of talking about this matter, she started talking about other things about Gu Qingchen.Fu Rong kept talking sideways for a long time, but Aunt Huang seemed to have made up her mind, but kept silent about this matter, and didn't say a word.

Although Furong didn't know exactly what happened, she could hear what Aunt Huang said about your second brother very clearly.Fu Rong was thinking about this matter, while walking back, she didn't notice her foot, and stepped on it.

"Who! Who doesn't have eyes!" The second sister-in-law Gu immediately stood up, saw that it was Fu Rong, and immediately turned cold, with her hands on her hips, spit spit out: "What's the matter with you, you don't even look when you walk Is it off the road? It’s okay to step on me. These chickens that have just hatched, you will probably die if you step on them. Our whole family even pointed at these chickens and sold them for money! We don't even have rations."

Fu Rong glanced at the chicks surrounded by bamboo strips, and suddenly felt angry: what do you mean by stepping on them casually?Recalling Aunt Huang's words just now, Fu Rong subconsciously clasped the edge of the wooden basin with a smile on her face: "Second sister-in-law really cares about the family. I heard that a batch of bean seeds were entering the shop a while ago, and it was actually ours. I've never seen it before. The second sister-in-law is so filial, she must be helping the family. I don't know where the second sister-in-law scattered those seeds, and when it bears fruit, we will go and see."

Second Aunt Gu froze immediately.She managed to get some seeds from the town and came back. When Fu Rong came in, she went back to her mother's house in a fit of anger, and left some for her mother's house. The rest was sold out, and the money went to her own. Purse.Of course, she didn't spend a penny at home.Now hearing Fu Rong's words, Second Aunt Gu was a little embarrassed, and picked up the basin on the side: "Third brother and sister, who told me that the bean seeds put in the shop are just ordinary beans, so there is nothing novel about it. The pigs haven't been fed yet, so I'll go and cut some sweet potato vines first." As she said that, as if someone was chasing her away, Second Aunt Gu took the pot and ran away.

Fu Rong didn't talk too much, she took the basin and walked to the open space in front of Gu Qingchen's small house at the back, first carefully wiped the pulled rope clean, and then dried the clothes one by one.Went into the house, Yuanyuan hadn't come back yet.Fu Rong thought about it in her heart, then turned around and walked towards Mrs. Gu's room.

Mrs. Gu was sitting cross-legged on the kang, putting on the sole of a shoe that was about to be formed.Fu Rong glanced at it, and found that the tie was quite thick, probably for Old Man Gu.Fu Rong poured a glass of water and handed it over: "Mother, take a rest."

Mrs. Gu put down the sole of the shoe in her hand, took it over, and said yes with a nostril.She heard the voices of the two daughters-in-law in the yard just now.Now that the third daughter-in-law came in front of me, did she want to sue first?
"Mom, I met Aunt Huang just now. She said that her natal family had [-] breeder chickens last year, and they could pick up [-] to [-] eggs every day. I thought, when Tianheng and Xiaotao were growing up, It is what needs to eat eggs. Now the family only has [-] breeder chickens, and there is still some spare energy." Fu Rong said with a smile.

Gu Lao Niang was reminded by Fu Rong, and remembered Tian Heng's skinny appearance, and her heart softened.It's just that there is no spare money at home to raise chickens. Seeing that the farming is going to be busy again, and it is time to plant seeds, the family still eats last year's grain. If the harvest is not good this year, the money will have to be kept It's urgent.

Fu Rong seemed to have expected it long ago, moved forward, and said: "It just so happened that Aunt Huang said that Aunt Zhong in the village still had [-] breeding eggs on hand. Although the breeding chickens are good, they are always expensive. Why don't you just buy breeding eggs? It costs six cents for a hatching egg, and there are old hens nesting in the house anyway. Isn’t that cheap.”

Mrs. Gu was a little moved, and after careful calculation in her heart, twenty breeding eggs cost 120 Wen, which is quite a lot.The sense of urgency that I have been hearing since I was a child still has the upper hand at this moment, and Mrs. Gu did not let go easily.

Fu Rong strikes while the iron is hot: "If not, I will pay for this kind of egg."

Madam Gu froze for a moment.Seeing her looking at her, Fu Rong said, "The hatched breeder chickens are still at home. I only need half of the eggs laid by the hatched chickens from these twenty breeder eggs."

Furong's request was not too much. To Mrs. Gu, it was just a difference of making a little less money, and she had nothing to lose.She also understood Furong's intention for this move, probably for Yuanyuan's sake.When Mrs. Gu was happy, she made a decision with a smile on her face: "The third daughter-in-law, since we are a family, we don't talk about two families. Yuanyuan is also my grandson. I'm in charge. From now on, each of the three children One egg a day."

After the second sister-in-law Gu had finished feeding the pigs, when she went back to the house to change her clothes, she happened to see Fu Rong coming out of the north house.The second sister-in-law Gu's head was spinning at high speed, and she hid aside.After Furong was gone, she came out and went back to the house.

She should have filed a complaint.The second sister-in-law Gu was combing her hair angrily. Just as she thought of this, she heard Fu Rong's voice outside the window: "Mom, then I'll go first." I don't know what this Furong was thinking, but the second sister-in-law Gu rolled her eyes and put her hand on her head. There is a silk flower on the hairpin, and she goes out the door with a handkerchief.

I bought twenty breeding eggs, and since Aunt Huang threaded the thread in the middle, Aunt Zhong saved ten cents off.Furong was happy to save money, took the basket carefully, and carried it home.

Fu Rong put the money back into the box, locked it, and stuffed it at the bottom of the closet.As soon as it was put away, Gu Qingchen's voice came from behind: "I just saw you coming back with eggs in front of me, and I thought I was wrong. Why, don't the chickens at home lay five or six eggs every day?"

Fu Rong turned her head and saw Yuan Yuan lying on his shoulders asleep, so she hurried forward and hugged Yuan Yuan down.Removed his shoes and coat, twisted the veil again, wiped his face and hands, and said, "That's not an egg to eat."

"Is it breeding eggs?" Gu Qingchen walked to the edge of the basket, picked up one and held it up to the light, then put it down again, "Shall we feed it ourselves, or put it in the public house?"

Furong covered Yuanyuan with a small quilt, then poured a glass of water, and handed it to Gu Qingchen: "I found my mother, and I paid for twenty breeding eggs for Gongzhong. I only want half of the eggs laid by these chickens. "

Gu Qingchen took the tea, sat opposite her, and looked at Furong.After a while, he said: "I didn't think of this." After speaking, he stood up and went to the next room.

After a while, he brought a box over, handed it to Furong, took out a key from his pocket, and handed it over: "This is my savings over the years, not much. In the future, you need to use the money , just take it from here."

Fu Rong looked down, the paint had been rubbed off the edge of the box, exposing the wood inside.The keys are polished, presumably from frequent use.Fu Rong refused almost without thinking: "I can't take it."

"Let me say this for the last time: I will not divorce, nor will I divorce my wife." Gu Qingchen took a sip of tea lazily, "The bet that day was clearly agreed, do you want to admit defeat now?"

Speaking of the bet, Fu Rong's ears turned red.That day, I was provoked by him again and again, so I agreed to the unfair condition in a hurry: if she didn't let Yuanyuan get hurt within six months, he didn't have to touch her, but it was just a disagreement.Fu Rong pressed her fingerprints in a twitch.This is simply the greatest shame in her life.This man's mouth is not ordinary poisonous, it provoked all the patience she had cultivated for so many years.No, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move.She didn't believe that she couldn't take care of Yuanyuan well.Fu Rong rolled her eyes, calmed down, and took the key: "Then let's find out in person how much money is in it. To show fairness, I will also take some money out." Since we are living under the same roof now So, if you want to keep the water in the well, the AA system is the best choice.

Gu Qingchen raised his eyebrows: If she refuses her money, this woman will definitely not take it, so let her go.Gu Qingchen looked at her earnest expression when she buried her head in counting the money, and couldn't help a smile from the corner of her mouth: This woman, she looks very shrewd, whenever she encounters something about Yuanyuan, she will have thorns all over her body, thinking Protect this child.Buying eggs today, I think I also know why she is doing it.It seems that it is basically impossible for her to ask him for help.Other people's daughters-in-law are always obedient to their husbands. Perhaps, his wife will bring different feelings to his life.

Fu Rong counted the money, the total number is ten taels, and there are a few loose copper coins, which is not bad.She also took out twelve taels, and said to Gu Qingchen: "There is only one key, so let me put it here first. It's better to make a document for this matter." As she said, she brushed a few strokes and wrote the document It is also written.

Seeing her graceful handwriting, Gu Qingchen signed his name in a fluttering manner.Fu Rong folded the paper and put it in her money box, happily carried the eggs and went out.

Gu Qingchen went out to look, and saw that she had stained the eggs one by one with chicken manure before putting them into the old hen's nest. She smiled, turned around and walked towards Mrs. Gu.There are some things that she can't do alone.
