Chapter 63 Don't ask about the future, just follow

Mei Zhuang sat on the donkey cart, always chopping wood and arrows.

She felt that it was not suitable for her to step forward when the two elders were talking.

As a result, when he looked up again, he saw the two old men walking further and further away.

Appearing to be measuring the ground with their feet, the two then pulled on the rope again.

The rope was probably not long enough, and the two old men still had to look around for larger stones to make marks, and then they walked away after making marks.But going forward, it is full of wild grass half a person's height, and if you don't pay attention, you will stumble.

"Huh, huh!" Mei Zhuang led the donkey cart to find a big tree and tied it to a big tree, then picked up the sickle and ran towards Mrs. Xu and Liu Laozhu.

Mei Zhuang didn't bother the two elders when she came to the front. She just swung the sickle and shoveled the grass in front of her.

At this time, Liu Laozhu was exhausted enough. He turned around and looked at Mei Zhuang who was running to help, and said in a hoarse voice: "Girl, since you have cut the weeds, don't throw them away. I will pick you up in the car later, and pick the black grass." Pick out the straw."

He wants to keep it as a gift.

Going back to the villages to borrow adobe, you can't go to those Lizheng houses empty-handed.

Liu Laozhu was clear in his heart: there is no one to give gifts with wild grass.

He wanted to carry two catties of rice, but he had to have it.

In the future, their village will only get more and more pennies to break eight-petaled flowers, especially if they don't know what's going on in the past two months.We can't explain it to the villagers, and we can't tell anyone... The main thing is that he can't explain it.

Even his family's food cannot be eaten in large quantities for the youngest son in the future. If he wants to eat enough, he has to mix a few coarse and fine grains, or eat half of it.

Because just now, the girl from Xu's family also took half of his family's food on credit.

Why did he respond in a daze? Liu Laozhu was confused, probably because he was more emotional at that time.

Fortunately, more than half of it was going to be sold on credit, but then the sister of the Xu family took the initiative to say something: "We want to do the best for the villagers, but that doesn't mean we have to hold our breath and suffer losses. Your family also keeps some food, and we can start a business later. , I have to let your sister-in-law earn some money, so I'll credit half of it." These words warmed his heart.

It just cooled down after a while, and it turned out that this was the beginning.

"...I am short of sweet potatoes, broken rice, soybeans, corn, sweet sorghum stalks and seeds.

Let's put it this way, brother, whatever you can get on credit from the villages outside, I'm short of anything.

In fact, it’s not just me who lacks it, it’s estimated that every family in our village will be lacking by then.

There is also a large clay pot.I don't care how much other people lack, but only tanks, my family needs six or seven.Pickle jars don't matter how big they are, the more the better.

There is also a large clay pot, whoever has extra, I only need the big one.Including wooden bowls and plates, I have chopsticks at home, old and new are also fine.

I don't know if you know the blacksmith shop in the town..."

Liu Laozhu looked at Mrs. Xu who was still counting with her fingers, and his head was about to explode: "The co-authoring is all on credit?"

It is such a poor condition to change the majority of people, there is nothing, so let’s not do this business.

"Then what should I do if I don't use credit? I have to face up to the difficulties and earn money? Don't worry, at least my family's money will be paid back at the end of the year."

After Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she looked at Liu Laozhu.

She knew that the old man couldn't hold on anymore.

Because when the land was measured just now, the two of them had already calculated that they were going to be in the middle, that is to say, there was a well behind her shop.

How to do business without water, the whole village must have a well here.

But to dig a well, Liu Laozhu had to pay a few taels of silver first.

There is also this large area of ​​houses, not to mention that there is a heated kang in each shop, at least there must be a stove and a fire wall in winter, all of which use bricks.

But the fire wall can't be built without bricks. If her house wants to be warmer, and she needs to plant some vegetables in winter on her side, she needs bricks of two taels of silver.Not to mention building this large row of houses in one go, the land deed money would have been enough for Liu Laozhu to drink a pot.

That's 50 taels, and that can't be credited first.

And like bricks, you have to pay at least half of it up front.It is conceivable that it will cost a lot of money to add it.

Mrs. Xu felt that it was time to say something that could purify Liu Laozhu's soul.

"I know it's difficult for you. How can the flag against the wind be so easy to carry? Look, whoever wants to do something will not feel wronged."

As soon as he spoke, Mrs. Xu untied the burden that had been slung across her back.

It was only at this moment that Liu Laozhu knew what a person who didn't even recite his words had been recited.

I just saw that the furoshiki was opened, and inside were five strings of dirty copper plates mixed with soil.

"Where did you get the money?" I kept forgetting to ask.

Liu Laozhu thought to himself: If I remember correctly, not long ago, the Xu family's old mother from another village came to the door to make a fuss because of two taels of silver.

Mrs. Xu squatted in front of the bundle, looked up at Liu Laozhu: "When Arita was alive, the 20 taels of silver buried under the big tree were reserved for the children. Now only our mothers know about it. My sons are all I don’t know. I dug it out this time. I will keep 15 taels, and the remaining five taels will be given to you.”

"What do you mean give me?"

"It's the same thing as you giving money to the villagers for nothing. Put it first. Carry it together."

Mrs. Xu handed in the [-] donations from the modern family members, and she had made an agreement with the family members before she came.

As for Liu Laozhu, he thought that he was not a person who loved to cry at all, let alone in front of a woman.

He turned around hastily and was covering his eyes with his hands.

But he had already closed his eyes, and it seemed that the copper plates that could not be washed away were still shaking in front of his eyes.And carry that sentence together.

We don't owe him anything if we carry it together.

Looking back on these days, the Xu family sisters clearly knew what they were doing, but they never threatened him, but instead helped him find love in front of that Catcher Zhao.

He also told every family in the village that if you can catch fish, don't forget about Lizheng.

Especially this time, Chong helped him analyze what he said just now. Rather than saying that Xu's sister was doing it for the good of the villagers, it was better to say that in the final analysis it was to protect him.Carrying it together means that since you know it and have given an idea, you must keep him.

This is also because my family obviously needs credit for cooking pots and their own money is not enough, but they can't see him worrying, so they take out Arita's money and want to give him.

Arita, uncle, I'm sorry.

Liu Laozhu's old tears fell from between his fingers. How did he have the nerve to accept Xu's things at a low price in previous years.

Thinking of Xu Youtian's tall and cheerful appearance, he felt even more uncomfortable.

Finally, the words that have been held back for many years, choked up and said:

"Old girl..." It was no longer Sister Xu, but old girl.

"Back then, it would have been great if our two families could become in-laws. I cared about your family. When I cared about it, it became hatred.

In recent years, I have dreamed of Arita twice. To tell you the truth, I questioned him in my dream, why he failed to date my daughter, which made me feel ashamed back then.If it's a match, I can take care of his younger brothers, and life will be better long ago, and I can still support him to study. I won't regret it after asking him.

I also tell you from the bottom of my heart, if he were my son-in-law, really, I would have risked my life to let him die! "

Liu Laozhu was very excited at the end, because this is the first time he regrets that such a good child can read and settle accounts after years of self-study, and is also a good hunter. He walked through Yanmen Pass to sell goods. The leader of the salesmen thought that Arita would be taken away, he was destined to be successful in the future, if it wasn't his son-in-law, he should be kept.After keeping it, because of Arita's respect for love and righteousness, he will never forget his uncle.

She is also the only kid in the village who is expected to be able to hang out outside.

If one gets mixed up, the others will survive.

Mrs. Xu looked at Liu Laozhu's back silently, thinking to herself: "I just choked out such a sentence after being moved for a long time."

"Chen Zhima rotten millet, are you sneaking away? Crying like this.

Besides, there is nothing you can't think about, and you even questioned our children in your dreams.

That young boy likes slender eyes or round eyes, tall, short, fat and thin, that's up to us?Otherwise, this is called a young man.

If they were all as realistic as we are at our age, there wouldn't be so many high-marriage and low-marriage things.So who do you want to know, what kind of rarity to choose, just look at whose granary is most convenient. "

Mrs. Xu waved her hand when she was talking, signaling Mei Zhuang who came over to see the situation to stand farther away, and then continued to scold Liu Laozhu: "Hurry up, there are a lot of things, and you won't be afraid that the younger generation will see you when you wipe your tears there." .”

Mei Zhuang has already seen it, and he is dumbfounded, the aunt is simply too powerful, she told Uncle Lizheng to cry.

But at this moment, a group of passersby's noise suddenly came from the road.

For a moment, Mrs. Xu had the illusion that the caravan was coming.

It turned out to be... from Wangjiagou?
Mrs. Xu and Mei Zhuang were pushed into the weeds one by one by Liu Laozhu, and he picked up the money and carried it on his shoulders.

Mrs. Xu squatted in the grass, saw Liu Laozhu's reaction, and contacted Lei Lizheng.Seeing a car passing by on the road again, he thought to himself:

This is Wang Li is about to have an accident, right?Even if the person hasn't been arrested right now, some of the "big business" dens, such as the Lei's den, may be hidden without anyone noticing.

This should be after receiving news, such as where the ants on the hot pot are going to seek help, or transferring family members.Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many cars, and they were going so fast.

Sure enough, that old fellow Liu Laozhu must know something.

"Damn!" Liu Laozhu squinted at the road, almost couldn't help but want to stand up and shout that he deserved it, the scene of beating his brother will never be forgotten, he will avenge this sooner or later.Just watch, Wangjiagou Village was behind when it was in chaos.

Mrs. Xu didn't say anything because Mei Zhuang was by her side: "Li Zheng, have you forgotten that he's finished, it's you."

The smile on Liu Laozhu's face froze: "..."

Indeed forgot.

"Loucao, don't need to measure, I know what's on my mind, let's go back to the village quickly!"

Back to the village to support the old girl, he was able to write an IOU in the name of Lizheng.

"By the way, old girl, whose name is written in your family's red deed."

"Since it's my granddaughter, Arita left it to Xin, and her aunt knows about it."

"Then let the child get up early tomorrow and go to town with me."

But Liu Laozhu has already arrived home, and the weeds that he hugged home are also put into the yard, and the majestic and strong will not leave.

Don't leave, Liu Laozhu thought to himself: He still has to find a wife and take away all the money in the family.Although he will take it no matter whether the old wife agrees or not, this matter is determined to death.

But before taking it away, I always feel that if we can discuss it, we should tell it first.

Pepper just came back from the backyard after feeding the pigs with a slop bucket. He was taken aback when he saw Mei Zhuang, and was even more confused when he heard Mei Zhuang finish speaking.

Mei Zhuang was embarrassed for a while, and then said concisely: "Uncle Li, which piece of wasteland my aunt bought, you can also give me five taels of silver next to her, you can give it according to the number of acres, just stick to it , hit it or not?"

Liu Laozhu really didn't expect that Mrs. Xu already had such blind followers.
