: One thousand and thirty-seven only can't get in

The Xu family sat with grimacing faces. From time to time, they could hear Xu Guifu's bellows-like breathing, and occasionally a few coughs or snoring in his throat, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Aunt Xu has become old lady Xu, most of her hair is white, the folds on her face can trap mosquitoes, her back is badly crooked, her eyes are cloudy, and her aging speed is astonishingly fast.

"Guanghui, isn't the Shen family unwilling to help? Why don't we find another relationship?" Aunt Xu said with a bitter face.

Xu Guanghui shook his head and said, "Jiaojiao said she would help, but it's only been two days, how could it be so fast?"

Aunt Xu was still a little worried: "Why don't you go to the Shen's house and ask Guanghui, I don't trust me if I'm not at ease, the family can't go in and out every day, and it won't last long!"

Every day, Xu Guifu takes medicine, and the family has to eat and eat vegetables. Even eating pickles every day requires a lot of money. The Xu family always has a temperament of saving five cents to earn a piece of money. Save money.

Over the past few days, the expenses have exceeded the income, which made Aunt Xu panic and lost her sense of security.

Xu Guanghui reluctantly persuaded: "Don't worry, Mom, Wen Hui and I are selling tapes and making money these days."

"How much money can I make by selling tapes? I have to eat rice every day. Which tapes should I listen to every day? Selling tapes is just an expedient measure. It is the right way to set up a breakfast stall. I think I will wait another night. If there is no news in the Ming Dynasty. , you go to the Shen's house to ask, and the things have been collected, so you can't help but do things!"

Aunt Xu felt very distressed when she thought of the net pocket of fruit and two bottles of wine. Seven or eight yuan in bills was her family's vegetable money for a month. Young people are so big-hearted that they can't be a good family at all.

"Mum, we still live in the Shen family's house. Grandpa Shen didn't even charge our rent." Xu Guanghui reminded his mother.

Aunt Xu was silent for a while. The rent for a house was at least 1 yuan a month, and 12 yuan a year. She didn't dare to calculate it. The more she calculated, the more guilty she became.

In the bottom of her heart, Xu Xiaoli despised her mother's petty arrogance, and regarded money as more important than her life. Every day, besides pickles, she still had pickles. If Dad hadn't eaten so badly, his body wouldn't have collapsed so quickly.

Earning money is not just to live a better life, her mother is on the contrary, earning money is to save, the biggest fun every day is to pour out a jar of steel, and count the steel collapse with my father, not counting one. Over and over, they can't even sleep soundly.

But they don't think about it, how much money can be saved by saving money from their mouths like this?

On the contrary, her body also collapsed. If it weren't for the poor eating, the eldest brother, the second brother and the third brother would not be so short, and her body would definitely be better, instead of being shriveled as she is now.

Xu Xiaoli has some resentment towards her parents. She knows that staying in such a home will never make a big difference. Mom and Dad's biggest wish is to take back her own house and marry her three brothers.

But she doesn't want to do this. She has no share in the house. Sooner or later, she will get married. If you marry well or not, you will be lucky. If you get married well, you just don't have to worry about your livelihood. question.

Her dream is not like this. She wants to become a high-ranking person. She wants to leave this poor home, leave the sea market, and go to a more affluent place. All she can rely on is her young body and her self-esteem that she is willing to lower. .

Aunt Xu rambled to clean up the leftover breakfast, a steel pot with less water and more water, and a small plate of home-made fermented bean curd. There was still more than half of the bean curd left in the plate, and the color was a little dark because of this piece of fermented bean curd. Three mornings have been eaten and four more are to be eaten.

A piece of fermented bean curd is their family's breakfast dish for a week. Everyone pokes it with chopsticks and drinks a bowl of soaked rice with the salty and umami taste on the chopsticks. It's a good meal, because the fermented bean curd is made by her mother, only in When making fermented bean curd and pickles, her mother will be generous and put half more salt than others.

Xu Xiaoli looked at the fermented bean curd on the table with disgust that was attracting flies. She was a little hungry. Since the breakfast stall was set up, she has not eaten breakfast at home. The elder brother loves her and will give her a basket of small soup buns to eat. She is reluctant to eat, she is used to eating delicious soup dumplings, how can she still eat such simple fermented bean curd with rice?

Shen Jiao laboriously carried a large piece of pork with more white and less red, then a large rooster, and two extra wide-band fish, and came to Xu's door. The door was not closed, and she could hear from the door. Aunt Xu's nagging voice inside.

"Hello Uncle Xu, hello auntie, I'm Shen Jiao."

Shen Jiao greeted loudly, carried her things into the room, put the chicken and fish on the table, and shook her sour hand.

"Sister Shen, sit down quickly, and I'll make tea for you."

Xu Xiaoli smiled enthusiastically, changed her previous decadence, and became very active. Aunt Xu was already fascinated by the chicken and fish on the table, and her brain began to calculate automatically. The meat is aniseed one kilogram, and such a big piece is at least two kilograms, which is one piece and six. Chickens should weigh about seven or eight pounds at least five yuan. Broadband fish is a good thing. Two such large ones cost at least five or six yuan, and three kinds add up to at least twelve yuan.

The price of 12 yuan made Mrs. Xu overjoyed, she laughed like an old orange peel, and rushed to the room separated by a cloth, ready to talk to Xu Xiaoli and make the highest-grade Longjing tea.

But Xu Xiaoli didn't need her instructions, she had already brewed the Longjing tea that the Xu family had collected for more than ten years.

Shen Jiao took the teacup with a musty smell. The color of the tea was a little dull. At first glance, she knew that it was old tea. With the diligent and thrifty style of the Xu family, this year should be counted as ten years.

She smiled and put the teacup aside, instead of going around the corner, she said directly: "Go to the market management office to apply for a certificate, go directly to Director Meng, and he will do it for you."

"Ah yo yo, Jiaojiao, you are really capable. It only took two days to do it. Thank you, Nong, you've really helped my family. Can we eat lunch at my family?" Invite Shen Jiao to lunch.

Xu Guifu, who was lying on the bed, also asked Shen Jiao to stay for dinner. He was panting so badly that he couldn't stop gasping for a few words, and his voice was hoarse. Shen Jiao couldn't help frowning when he saw that Xu Guifu was just silicosis. It can't be so serious!

"My aunt has won the prize. It's just that I happened to meet a friend from the market management office. If I change it, I won't be able to help."

Shen Jiao also said this on purpose. Mrs. Yelena's words had some influence on her. Besides, she was not too familiar with the Xu family, that is to say, Xu Guanghui had contact with him when he was a child, and his impression of him was still good, but now I look at Xu Guanghui. As for her aunt's actions, she felt that it was the best policy to distance herself from the Xu family.
