Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 35 Windfall
Zhou Daya couldn't please her, so she was so angry that she wanted to leave. She wanted to take Erya away, but after thinking about it, she decided to keep her here.

It seems that he still wants to continue to use this poor girl, Du Xiaoyu just pretends not to know, and after she leaves, he starts to talk to Zhou Ya.

It turned out that the Zhou family had a five-year-old son. Needless to say, he must be the most precious of her parents. China has always valued the succession of the family, and the daughters are all spilled water, so in comparison, their family is actually not bad. Zhao No matter how patriarchal Shi is, he didn't treat his two daughters harshly, unlike Zhou Zhou, who at first glance thought they were vagrants.

In fact, her family is not very poor. Her father is a carpenter, and there are more than ten acres of fertile land in the family, but all the money is spent on her son. Even if she doesn't spend it now, she will save it for her younger brother to ask for a wife in the future.

Du Xiaoyu shook his head thinking, it seems Zhou Daya's life is not easy.

"Do you still want to eat noodles?" Du Xiaoyu smiled at Erya, really sympathizing with her, she is also a small peasant girl, but the treatment is too bad.

On Tuesday, Ah swallowed subconsciously, but shook her head, "No, no, it's a good meal." In fact, it was rice soaked in water with two mouthfuls of pickles, and all the delicious food came from my younger brother. Time is already hungry.

"Whatever, let's go eat together, I happen to be a little hungry." Du Xiaoyu pulled her up, "Can you make a fire? I'll cook noodles today."

On Tuesday, Ya knows how to light a fire. She has been doing housework since she was four years old. Lighting a fire is something she often does.

The two of them worked for a while, and the hot noodle soup came out of the pot. Du Xiaoyu called Du Huanghua and Du Wenyuan, and the four of them shared a bit to warm their bodies. bowl.

Knowing that she wanted to repay the meal, Du Xiaoyu asked her to wash it.

Time passed quickly, seeing that the sky was slowly getting dark, and Du Xiaoyu was going back on Tuesday, Du Xiaoyu was a little bit reluctant, although this little girl didn't talk much, she was very kind, if we were together every day, there would be a day when she would Can also be lively and happy.

Sending her to the door, Du Xiaoyu said, "If your sister wants to bully you again, don't bear it. They say you can squeeze a soft persimmon. If you make it harder, she won't dare."

Tue Ya was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, she was very envious to see Du Xiaoyu and his brother enjoying themselves happily, but in their house, that scene never appeared before.She groped around for a while, took out something and handed it over, "Sister Xiaoyu, this is for you."

An oval stone the size of a pea was lying in the palm of her hand, glowing faintly. If you read it correctly, it was a ruby. Du Xiaoyu was surprised, "Why do you have this?"

"I picked it up in the field," Zhou Zhou saw that her eyes were wide open, thinking she liked it, and she was happy in her heart.

Du Xiaoyu didn't answer, and asked instead, "Didn't you show it to your family?"

Shaking her head on Tuesday, she was so happy when she picked up this stone. Just as she was about to show it to her mother, she was scolded severely when she just entered the door, saying that she was lazy and went out to play, and that she didn't take good care of it. Brother, I slapped him right on the head, and that slap hurt so badly.But at that time, she was chasing her younger brother, who ran around mischievously, but disappeared after chasing him, who would have expected that he would already be at home when he came back.

She sniffed and raised her hand, "Miss Xiaoyu..."

Wanting her to accept it, Du Xiaoyu waved his hand, "It looks very valuable, I can't take it."

Tears rolled down on Tuesday when she heard this.

"Don't cry." This child is really capable of crying, Du Xiaoyu panicked, "Don't cry, there's nothing to cry about, isn't it..."

On Tuesday, Ya just wiped her eyes, as pitiful as she could be.

"Hey, can I take it? Don't cry." Du Xiaoyu hurriedly took the ruby, "Leave it to me. You can take it back whenever you want."

Only then did Ah Zhou stop crying and went back happily.

This kind of valuable thing can still be picked up in the field. Du Xiaoyu looked at the ruby ​​repeatedly, and was sure that it should have fallen from something. Maybe it was not set firmly, and gems are very rare in this era. No one in Dongcun seems to be affordable, which is really strange.She thought about it for a while and then carefully put it in her purse. It's good to keep it here. In case Zhou Daya or Mrs. Hong see it, she must not take it away. It should be very beautiful to make a ring, and keep it as a dowry for Erya in the future.

In the evening, Du Huanghua embroidered shoe uppers over there, while she continued to study cloth flowers.

After repeated experiments, they found that no one in their family could appreciate the iris, so they decided to use more figurative cloth flowers, such as this rose, which took several nights to make.The fabric is painted with pink and purple corners of plum blossoms. There are 52 petals in total, all of which are cut by her hand. It can be described as a painstaking work!But it's still a little crooked. It would be better if Du Huanghua did it.

"Sister, how about this?" She put the flowers on her head, showing a self-conscious smile.

Du Huanghua took a closer look, but she didn't respond enthusiastically, "It's okay."

Du Xiaoyu was discouraged all of a sudden, how do you think this flower is still okay, you must know that there are no flowers in winter, and it would be nice to get a cloth flower to wear.

Maybe her sister didn't know how to appreciate, Du Xiaoyu encouraged herself.

So when she was going to raise the cows at Uncle Da Da's house, she resolutely put the flower on.

The calf has grown quite big, and it mooed when it saw them. Du Xiaoyu walked up a few steps happily, only to find that its nose had been pierced. Cows must have their noses pierced, otherwise they would not Good control.But she has always loved animals, so she still couldn't help feeling a little distressed. She gently stroked the calf's head to express her comfort. At least in her hands, the calf's life in the future will be better than other cows.

The two of them were holding the cow and were about to bid farewell to Mrs. Qin, but Mrs. Qin stared at Du Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, where did you buy the flowers on your head? I've never seen them in the village."

Speaking of this, Du Xiaoyu got excited and said proudly, "I made it myself. How about it? Doesn't it look good?"

"Well, it's pretty good." Qin said.

Du Xiaoyu was very happy to be affirmed by others, and said to Du Huanghua, "Sister, look at what Auntie said looks good, but you guys don't know how to appreciate it!"

Qin Shi pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "You need to make more and sell them in my small grocery store tomorrow. Those women should like it."

It turns out that the Qin family also opened a grocery store. No wonder the environment at home is good. Du Xiaoyu nodded hurriedly, "Okay, I'll make it when I get back." She paused and asked, "Auntie, how much do you expect this one to sell?" Money?"

This girl is really different from other children. Qin Shi had already discovered her method of buying cows when she saw her at that time, and said with a smile, "It's hard to say, you won't know until you sell it, but your fabric is very beautiful. Usually it can be sold for two pennies."

Du Xiaoyu frowned. After a few nights of hard work, he could only get two pennies?She was a little unhappy, but after thinking about it, she might be able to make three or four flowers in one night after she became proficient, and then she could earn about two hundred yuan a month.

This is pure income. A shrewd person like the Qin family must have already thought about the fees he would charge, so he only said two pennies. In essence, he should be able to sell for three pennies, Du Xiaoyu thought, that's all right After all, Qin's owns a shop, and more people go to her place to buy things every day, which is much more beneficial than setting up a stall by herself.

She didn't say anything more, said goodbye to Qin Shi, and followed Du Huanghua back.

"Xiaoyu, don't sell this flower. You are young, so be careful not to damage your eyes." Du Huanghua said on the road, "When my second brother is admitted as a scholar, I will tell my mother to let you go to school." If you pass the exam, you can go to a government-run library, and I heard that if you do well in the exam, you will be paid every month, so the family will be much richer, and it should not be a problem for your younger sister to study.

It seems that she hasn't given up on this idea yet, but Du Xiaoyu is really not interested in reading. As long as Du Wenyuan explains to her casually, what books can she not understand?There is no need to learn it specially, so I said, "I will protect my eyes carefully, and my sister should also pay attention to it, so it's okay to rub it."

Every time she mentions studying, she always avoids it. Du Huanghua is a little angry, "Everyone else wants to study, but you don't want to!"

"I'm not as smart as my second brother, sister, I can't even learn how to make a fire. How can I study well? I don't want to go to a private school and be scolded by my master!" Du Xiaoyu pitifully tugged at the corner of Du Huanghua's clothes, " I heard that some wives beat others even when they are violent, sister, do you really want me to be beaten and scolded?"

Du Huanghua was angry and funny, but she couldn't see how this younger sister was not smart. Anyway, when it comes to studying, she can always think of various reasons. Last time, she said that she was tired from studying, but this time she used being stupid as an excuse .But being dragged and acted like a baby by her was really helpless, so I didn't mention it anymore. Anyway, the second brother hasn't passed the exam yet, so my mother won't agree to anything now, so let's talk about it in due time.

Thank you xiaojiu for the pink ticket, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, there will be another update tonight~~~~
