The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 7 Debt
Only then did the woman push open the fence door and walk in, and said with a smile: "This time, it's not bad to go to Xuejiaji to do business, isn't it?"

An Xu thought, being so polite and asking about the business situation, he either borrowed money or asked to repay the money, but with the state of the original owner, he didn't want to be someone who could lend money.

People in the village have hurdles they can't get past, and I'm afraid the last choice is to settle down.

"Ma'am, tell me what you have to say," An Xu said.

Hearing this, the woman smiled even more embarrassedly, rubbing her hands on her clothes unconsciously, but before she could speak, a voice sounded from the thatched cottage.

"San Niang, you should go back first, I will copy two more books in two days, and you can get almost three hundred Wen in exchange for them at the book store in the county."

The woman looked at the thatched cottage, then looked at An Xu's face, and said, "It's not that the aunt is pressing for debts, it's just that the family has been difficult these past few days, the dog's father broke his leg, and he can't do it for three to five months." job."

An Xu nodded: "It's only natural to pay off debts. I'll pay back how much money my family owes you."

The woman gave An Da Ni a surprised look. The day before yesterday she came to ask for the bill, but this Da Ni chased her and scolded her for two streets. Her husband's family name is Zheng, and he lives in the south of the village. The population is not as large as that of An. Don't dare to do anything to An Da Ni like this.

After quarreling with her, An Da Ni packed up her things and left the village, specifically saying that she was going to sell eggs to pay back her family's money. The people in the An family didn't like An Da Ni, and they would not allow outsiders to bully her.

For a while, they said that her family was unrighteous, and the fourth child, An, had only been dead for three years, and he was chasing after the remaining orphan girl, and this orphan girl still had two children to support.

But if it was thirty or fifty Wen, she would not want it, but when An Laosi was there, she borrowed 280 Wen from her family intermittently in order to take the imperial examination.

Seeing the disbelief on the woman's face, An Xu said, "Don't worry, I will return the money to you within a week or seven days at most."

The woman nodded her head and said some polite words before leaving.

Zong Che came to the door with his stick, his eyes seemed to be glued to An Xu, and when he turned his head to meet his gaze, An Xu's heart trembled, and he asked with a tigery face, "What are you looking at?"

"You have aroused that little conscience," Zong Che said, with a hint of sarcasm on the thin corners of his lips, "Linhe Village also has Zheng Sanshi's family. They are rare people who don't know anything and are honest. Three years ago Your old debt is only asking you now."

An Xu never expected that the young man whose first impression was so good that he exceeded the standard, was actually so vicious and venomous.

"Go back and read your book." Pulling off the apron around his waist, An Xu turned and walked into the kitchen.

The moment she turned around, the smile on Zong Che's face became more obvious. He was able to make the most common food of the peasant family very delicious. He always picks soft persimmons and is very rude to Zheng Sanshi's honest family. He even took the initiative to bear the debts owed back then, and did not retort at his bad words.

It is impossible for any of these three things to happen. If it happens, it means that some unknown changes have taken place.

Zong Che turned around, walked into the thatched hut step by step with the stick, and found a collection of Chinese words that had been copied [-] or [-] times on the wooden partition under the desk.

Among them, the sixth chapter talks about the nonsense that a water ghost takes the place of a dead ghost, and thus lives in the underworld for that person for seven or eight years before being suppressed by a Taoist priest.

Turning to that page, Zong Che, who had no interest in copying it, read it with great interest at this moment.

Is a ghost coming into the house?It's kind of fun.

An Xu, who was washing pots in the kitchen, shivered subconsciously, and a few yellow leaves curled up on the ground, indicating the current season, at the end of September and the beginning of October, in the northern border, it will soon become cold.

Looking at this kitchen without even four walls, An Xu sighed inwardly.

Putting the dishes and chopsticks in the cleaned pot, she wiped her hands and went to the two main rooms facing south, and opened the door. Each room was not small, about forty or fifty square meters.

But they are all very untidy, the ground is very dusty, tables, lame stools, bowls with missing corners, hoes and shovels are all placed on the ground one by one.

An Xu walked in, but there was a feeling that there was nowhere to set foot in such a spacious room.

"Are you going to do something again?"

An Xu turned her head, and saw the young man with yellow and thin face but not concealing his freshness and handsomeness appeared at the door at some point, her eyes fell on the stick in his hand: You can be silent even if you are limping, may I ask if you are a cat? ?
Zong Che lowered his head, with a look of gloom flashing across his face, "I'm so unlucky, and now I'm even starting to restrain myself? I won't be able to take the college exam this year, and it's going to waste your money again."

An Xu: "I didn't say anything, why did you put up the spikes?" Thinking about the tone of the original owner that night who didn't dislike this man's face, he said again: "When you pass the exam, even return the money with interest. It’s fine if you don’t.”

When Zong Che saw this strange look in his eyes, his gloominess turned into joy for a moment, and his face returned to calm, "I don't want to owe you a penny, but it was your father who wanted to take care of my family's mess back then. Don't recognize people after taking the benefits?"

In the past, the one who heard such words would scold him for being ungrateful for a quarter of an hour, but now this one just snorted, turned around and continued to check in the room.

Is this to check the situation of Anjia?Seeing that An's family is so poor, she didn't even think about leaving. Could it be that her family is poorer than An's family?

"The box is your brother's cotton trousers. Although the cotton has been around for many years, it should be worth ten or twenty cents." Standing at the door and looking at it for a while, Zong Che suddenly spoke again.

Seeing that figure stiffen as he wished, he turned around with a smile and returned to the room with a stick.

But that idiot probably didn't know that what he said just now was reminding her that she went to the wrong room, right?
An Xu really didn't expect that he didn't leave the original owner's brother immediately, An Chong?Or An Chong's room. After cleaning up all the mess on the floor, I found two sacks lying crookedly under the bed when I got to the bed.

She was still analyzing the situation of the original owner's family from the words of the boy in the Zong family, and she couldn't help sighing again, what used to be a pair of pants and a hoe, it seems that there were many things used in the past.

Don't you have land at home?
Thinking about pulling out a sack, opening it, I saw spicy radishes as thick as an adult's forearm inside.

This kind of radish is only a little white at the bottom, and the top is green. Even in modern times, it is a common farm dish in northern farmers. However, this kind of radish is not as crisp as white radish, and the smell of radish is also strong. It is most suitable for making dumplings. Vegetable stuffing.

Raw would be hard to eat, but there were two or three radish roots with tiny tails thrown by the bedpost.She could even imagine the scene where the original owner's brother slept here, and when he was hungry or thirsty, he would take out a carrot and eat it.

But seeing no one, An Xu didn't feel sad.

Pulling out another bag, it turned out to be a bag of carrots, and then looking at the spicy carrot roots by the bed, An Xu felt a little complicated.
