Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 34

It's just, money, money, where are you, money, it's impossible to run here with long legs.Now the family has to borrow money to build a house, and everything is easier said than done.

Ye Xiaoqiao also inquired about it. Shu Xiu of the school pays every six months, and there are [-] yuan. The two elder brothers are [-] yuan. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is the pen, ink, paper and inkstone. These things In this day and age, it is very expensive to be. Many people dare not write on paper when they can read. They are afraid of wasting paper. It is said that a stack of good paper is more expensive than a suit of clothes. It is really terrible.

Many people in Yejia Village have learned to read after one or two years, and they will not continue to read. It is really like Ye Gen, who have been studying for so many years, for the purpose of examination, which is very rare. .

So for Wu Shan to be admitted as a scholar, this is really envious and admirable, it is really not easy.

Take a look at other people, read the book, and increase the income of the family!

And if you become a scholar, you don't have to kneel down when you meet an official, and you can be exempted from personal taxes.I really don't know how good it is.

The foundation of Ye Xiaoqiao's house has already been laid. Their family plans to build four main rooms first, and then enclose the yard. When they have money on hand, they will build up all the east and west side rooms.

Because the yard is big enough, everything in the pigsty can be built, but at present the pigsty can only be covered with wooden fences, and there are trees on the back hill, so it should be built in the downwind direction, otherwise the smell of the pigsty is really difficult smell.

Because Wu Shan was admitted as a scholar, Xiaoqiao's grandma wanted to treat her, and all relatives from all over the world would go.Needless to say, Mrs. Wu, the good thing about her natal nephew, she must go as a nun.

And Liu Shi and Hao Shi also agreed in advance, and this time the whole family was dispatched.Good things need to be enjoyed by everyone, can it be better, right?

No matter how unhappy Mrs. Guo was, at the urging of Mrs. Ye, she prepared a gift for Mrs. Liu and the others to bring. She is an elder, so she doesn't have to go. However, Mrs. Guo thought well, Ye Gen didn't want to see her It would be embarrassing to see such a scene, but Ye Huier can go, since Wu Shan has been admitted as a scholar, then the people who go there might be from rich families, and since my daughter is so good, there are more opportunities to meet people in the city Some, being spotted by others, this is also a good opportunity for her.

So Ye Huier was asked to dress up like a flower that day, and she went there with her sisters-in-law.

Liu Shi and others are naturally tired of Ye Huier, but such a request is not easy to refuse, otherwise it will be even more troublesome.

So many people came to Ye Xiaoqiao's grandma's house, Xiaoqiao's eldest aunt and younger aunt were very happy, and asked Mrs. Wu to help greet people, Mrs. Wu took people to see her mother, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Hao were busy Congratulations to grandma Xiaoqiao, saying that she has a good grandson, who will enjoy endless blessings in the future.Grandma Xiaoqiao was very happy.

Xiaoqiao, Xiaodie, Xiaofeng and Xiaomi were taken by the lotus to the vegetable garden of their home, looking for a kind of red fruit in the meadow. This red fruit is edible and very sweet, but it is said that snakes crawled over it and cannot be eaten. , but the lotus flower is brave, not afraid at all, just wipe it and eat it.

Xiaomi looked at the lotus in surprise, "My mother said this thing is poisonous, so I can't eat it!"

Lotus said while eating: "I ate it now, and I didn't foam. That's all nonsense. It's a lie!"

Well, this cousin has always been very tough.Xiaoqiao hurriedly asked: "Sister Hehua, how old are the silkworms you raise now?"

The lotus said: "The skin has faded a few times, and now it is white and fat. There are many people today, so I won't show you. If you come to see it in the future, bring me some mulberry leaves, but you can't stay overnight, that way." not fresh."

Xiaodie, who didn't speak much, asked, "Do you know how to raise silkworms?"

Lotus nodded, "Well, do you want to raise it?"

Xiaodie nodded and didn't say anything. It seems that sister Xiaodie also wanted to share the burden for the family. Lotus said: "Your village doesn't have mulberry trees, so it's not easy to grow them."

Xiaoqiao hurriedly said: "Sister Hehua, you didn't remind me last time!"

"I know there is one on top of a mountain!" Xiaodie said immediately.

Xiaofeng saw that these people's words were too boring, so she said: "You guys raise silkworms, I won't raise silkworms, I will do something else in the future!"

A few little girls were talking about these trivial things. Two girls from Zhangjiawan came over. When they saw the lotus, they asked: "Lotus, who is that girl just now, with her eyes and nostrils facing upwards? Why didn't you throw her down?"

This girl probably played well with lotus, so she spoke very directly. Another girl said, "You didn't say what she looked like. There are so many people, how does lotus know which one it is?"

"It's just wearing red, who else wears red like her?"

Xiaoqiao and the others all stuck out their tongues, knowing who the two girls were talking about, because their sister-in-law was dressed in red, no one else!I really don't know what I was thinking.And she really looked down on the country people, it's ridiculous that she was born and bred in the country.

Lotus also thought of it, and said: "You don't care who she is, just ignore her!"

Fortunately, Hehua didn't say that she was Xiaoqiao's sister-in-law, otherwise Xiaoqiao and the others would be embarrassed.Although they don't like my sister-in-law, this family can't let go of the relationship. Why is Guo's brain circuit like this? When someone else has a happy event, they hold a banquet and let their daughter dress like the bride.

After the two little friends joined, they decided to pick mulberry leaves for the lotus silkworms.

When grandma's family holds banquets, there are always cooks who specialize in banquets. They pay the money and buy vegetables, and then they will cook for you according to the specifications. Generally, people who do this will bring their own complete sets. You don't need to worry about the plates and bowls at all. You need to ask someone to help you wash the dishes. It is very convenient and the host is very relaxed.

However, some poor families think that this is too expensive, and they would rather do it themselves, hire more people, and do it by themselves, which can also save a lot of money.

But this time, my grandma's family has a scholar, so naturally they are not stingy with the money, so it is convenient for everyone.

So Lotus and the others don't have to do anything, just boil water and pour tea for the relatives, just keep playing like crazy, just waiting to come over for dinner when they are hungry.

When Ye Huier came here, she thought she would meet a lot of people from the city, but it turned out that they were all country bumpkins. The more she looked at her, the more she disliked her, and the sisters-in-law couldn't agree to go together.

Originally, she also saw her elder sister and second sister, but these two elder sisters had grievances with Mrs. Guo, and she didn't want to talk to them, so she just sat upright on this chair, didn't chew for a long time, and was still stiff. a face.

Xiaoqiao's eldest cousin, Meihua, brought a few people around her age to accompany her, but she was a little indifferent when others talked to her, and she didn't want to put a hot face on a cold ass, so she didn't say much. In short, they all found an excuse and left.

After listening to those people's complaints, Meihua just smiled and didn't say anything, but later said to her mother Zhang: "My little aunt's sister-in-law will be unlucky to whomever she marries in the future. To pretend to be a phoenix, for our family's happy event, she has a straight face, as if someone owes her money."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Your little aunt didn't let her come here either, it was her mother-in-law who insisted on letting her come here. Let's just watch it for a while. Your little aunt used to watch it for more than ten years, so she just came here. But It will be fine in the future, when they move to a new home, they won't have to look at people's faces."
