Chapter 24: old woman 24
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for reunion, and I got news a few days ago that I heard about Sanwan Village. Villagers who did odd jobs outside during the slack of farming all went home together, holding one in their arms. A big rooster with bright red combs patrols the village every day and pecks when he sees bugs.
So these days, it can be said that Sanwan Village is very lively. People often come to Ning Qiu with things to chat, and then thank you for help. It seems to be the backbone.
In addition to greeting guests every day, Ning Qiu also gave some money to let her three daughters-in-law go out to sell things, and the house where even eating and eating sweet potatoes is noisy is finally clean. The time spent thinking about it, plus there were many people coming and going, and a lot of money was made, so the relationship between the three eased a lot.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ning Qiu is lying on the rocking chair made by the second child, enjoying the grandson's pinch shoulders and pouring tea, the grandmother's grandmother's long and short's affectionate calls, the eyebrows are all comfortable.
This time, she finally felt the feeling of old age.
When the sun set in the west mountain, the three daughters-in-law came back with a small trolley, talking and laughing, with a lot of purchased things on it, walking from the village head to the house, but provoked a lot of people The eyes, enjoying an envious look, can make them beautiful.
They all left with regret, and kept emphasizing that she would bring them an extra copy tomorrow. "She happily put down the things she bought on the scooter, and then took out a packet of sugar and stuffed it to Zhang Congming, very boldly said," 'You push the scooter to the backyard, and you can share the sugar here, you don't need to save it, just buy it after you finish it. ''
Having a way to make money by herself, and even broaden her horizons outside, she doesn't look down on these small money now.
"Thank you mother, and thank you two aunts and grandma." Zhang Cong smiled, and then took his younger siblings, who were about to drool, to put away the things and chatted around him. lively.
The atmosphere in the home is harmonious, and the friendship between the children will gradually improve. The old lady in the past was more patriarchal and despised several granddaughters. The children are the most sensitive, and naturally they will not accommodate them. Now Ning Qiu treats them equally, giving Zhang Xiaohong and the others the right to speak, and their status has improved invisibly, so they can play together.
"My sister-in-law is walking with wind now, and she can hear her voice from a distance, for fear that others will not know that she has made money." It's just verbally habitual talk, and it doesn't mean to be picky, otherwise, it won't be said face to face.
These words made the third daughter-in-law a blank eye, but the corners of her mouth were raised. She sat on the wooden dun and took out the things she bought.
"The second child can speak, and we are living a prosperous life. Are you afraid that others will know."
The eldest daughter-in-law first snorted coldly, and then danced and told Ning Qiu the interesting things about selling things, and laughed while talking.
"Especially our sausages, when I opened the pot, the fragrance was fragrant, and my saliva was drooling. Do? Mother, do you think they are stupid? This sausage is the secret recipe of our old Zhang family. It is a treasure that is used to make money. Whoever has no brains will tell them.''
Speaking of this, the third daughter-in-law was also so angry that she put her hands on her hips and scolded, ''That is, do we look so stupid? It really **** me off! If it weren't for the sister-in-law who scolded people for walking too fast, I would still want to scold them a few more times! ''
''You can pull it down. When people roll up their sleeves to fight, whoever hides in the back first, and whoever stands in front with a spoon, is all me, okay? '' The eldest daughter-in-law was beaming, and she was quite proud with her chest out.
Seeing that the third daughter-in-law refused to accept and wanted to argue, and the two wanted to quarrel again, Ning Qiu was speechless, ''You two are half a pound, so there is nothing to argue about. It's not you who is standing in front, it's the second daughter-in-law. ''
Ning Qiu's words directly told the truth, which made the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law embarrassed for a while. They hurriedly ran over, and each stood on the side of flattering, who would dare to quibble in front of the old lady Ah, the prototype was seen at a glance.
The second daughter-in-law smiled and didn't care about these little things. She took out the purse and handed it to Ning Qiu. Although her voice was gentle and gentle, she was very organized. It's all the money earned in the past few days, a total of 12 taels of silver. After removing the three taels you gave as the capital, there are still seven taels left, but we took out three taels to buy things, so there are four taels left in the end. ''
In three or four days, they earned 12 taels of silver, which was something they never dared to think about before. , so if you want to make money, you still need to do business.
But they also rely on their mother's way to make money. Thinking about the people who set up a stall with them to sell food, they sold less money and sighed every day.
Money, who doesn't like it. But here is really all the money they earned. The three of them didn't steal a single copper coin. First, they were afraid of the old lady and didn't dare to take it. Second, they were not stupid. A few copper coins offended the old lady, which is not worth the loss.
Ning Qiu just glanced at it casually, then continued to close her eyes and rest, ''One tael was confiscated, and the remaining three taels were divided equally between you. Also, you will keep the money you earn by yourself in the future, and you don't need to hand it over to me. ''
''Thank you mom! . '' The three daughters-in-law opened their mouths slightly in shock, and they looked at each other subconsciously, all laughing and bending their eyes.
It seems that my mother has really changed. It was good to leave a few copper coins in the past, not to mention trying to keep the money earned by my small family. This is something I dare not even think about.
Rare, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is very harmonious.
In the past, let alone get together to chat, and when I saw it, I just stared at it, and almost didn't quarrel directly.
Zhang Youcai, who was plucking chicken feathers, turned his head to look, and suddenly said with anticipation, ''If mother and daughter-in-law are like this in the future, it's better not to quarrel. This son and husband was caught in the middle, and his scalp was tingling with irritation. ''
Although he often spends money on his mother, he actually doesn't get much. He deducts a few copper coins at most, but he is taken away by his daughter-in-law before it is warmed up. They disliked each other and were not pleasing to the eye, one felt that they would suffer less, and the other felt that they were instigating her precious son.
People on both sides said bad things to him, turned around and said harsh words to his daughter-in-law, he would get angry and don't let him sleep next to him, and he could complain to his mother, but he couldn't, caught in the middle, really left and right Difficult.
These words, Zhang Youfu and Zhang Yougui nodded in unison.
No matter how bad the old lady is, she is still the mother who brought them up. No one will tell her if she is not, but she listens to her daughter-in-law’s back every night after finishing things. , they were kicked out of bed because they wanted to defend the old lady a few more words, saying that they didn't know how to feel sorry for their daughter-in-law, which was really wrong.
The main thing is that neither side can take sides. If there is a mix, the relationship will become more rigid.
Now that they can be happy, they are also very relieved, it is too difficult to be a man.
After dinner was ready and about to be seated, Zhang Tiezhu slipped in with a rooster with smooth feathers. He rejected Zhang Youfu's invitation to take a seat, looked at Ning Qiu and said seriously, ''Auntie , we found something unusual, a rooster ate a bug while patrolling, then became very aggressive and then died. ''
There are three bullies in the village, the big white goose, the local dog (preferably the **** dog) and the rooster. Roosters belong to pure yang, while poisonous insects belong to pure yin. Since ancient times, yin and yang have controlled each other, so the rooster itself can detoxify and ward off evil spirits.
Insects that can eat roosters to death must be different, which is why Ning Qiu wants them to keep roosters free during this time.
