Chapter 57 Shut Your Mouth

Having been together for more than half a year, Fang Youshun had already gotten used to Zhao Hui offering to help with work every time he came up, so he didn't feel any surprise when he did this, so he went straight to the stool on the ground and sat down, and started to classify things with him.

It's already very cold now, because Shen Yusui is still too young, and Fang Yan is afraid that she will run back and forth every day and freeze the child, so she doesn't bring the child to Fang's house to do work. Only Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang were left at home, and the house seemed extraordinarily deserted.

"Grandpa, I... can I come to your house during the day?" Zhao Hui suddenly lowered his head and asked softly while he was doing his work.

Fang Youshun was taken aback for a moment, and raised his eyes slightly to look at him, and saw tears in his eyes, and explained a little helplessly: "I eat my own wild vegetables and dried sweet potatoes, and I don't eat your food. I, I am here during the day Stay for a while, go home at night, you, if you have work, you can let me do it, okay?"

Just hang out during the day?
Fang Youshun was surprised when he heard it, but he seemed to understand something after a while. After pondering for a while, he asked him: "If you don't feel tired, why don't you work for me? Although I can't pay you, I can take care of your food." How about teaching you how to weave baskets and baskets, and I can also make sweeping brooms, cooking brooms, and big pot lids for steaming steamed buns?"

Zhao Hui never thought that he just wanted a place where he could hide from the wind and cold during the day, and he would encounter such a good thing, so he was stunned at the time.

You know, now one craft can support a family, and it doesn’t cost much to learn a craft, and there is no door without asking for intercession, and the old man in front of him actually said that as long as he helps with some work, he can teach How could he not be surprised by his craftsmanship?
Seeing that Zhao Hui remained silent for a long time, Fang Youshun asked suspiciously, "What? Don't you want to?"

"No no, I, I am willing, I am willing," Zhao Hui recovered from being asked, waved his hands again and again, bent his knees and fell to his knees with a plop, and began to kowtow: "Thank you Grandpa, I, I, I will definitely Those who work hard for you will definitely do well."

Fang Youshun didn't expect him to kneel down suddenly, sighed and pulled him up: "What are you doing, get up, get up quickly, and just work hard from now on."

"Hey, hey, I will." Zhao Hui was pulled up, excitedly wiped the crystal tears from his eyes, and quickly lowered his head to help Fang Youshun continue to pick out the cotton locust sliver.

He knew that he was taking advantage of others, but he was really, really happy.

Seeing this, Fang Youshun smiled and said nothing, just lowered his head and started talking to him about the usefulness of these cotton locust slivers.

Grandma Fang was sitting on the kang, holding the soles of her shoes, looking at Fang Youshun, who was teaching Zhao Hui with a smile, and sighed softly.

In fact, the old man originally wanted to teach his grandchildren skills, but Yuwen's brain is not very clear and his hands are clumsy. After two days of learning, he blushed and had a thick neck and didn't want to learn.Yulin's kid is quite clever, but he can't sit still, and he has to go to school again, so he is not interested in this, nor does he learn.The girl Yuxiu wanted to learn it, but the old man felt that it was too cold in winter, and he was afraid that it would freeze her, so he only said the general method, saying that he would not let her get started.

Although it is said that the old man took the initiative not to let the child Yuxiu learn, but in fact, she can see that the old man is a little disappointed that no one can learn his craft. Now that Zhao Hui wants to learn, it just happens to round up the old man I thought about it.

Zhao Hui finally found a place to live, and he could learn a craft. He was so happy every day, he left home at dawn every day, and only returned home after dark, which made the Zhao family very aggrieved.

I felt that this son was raised for nothing.

While Zhao Hui was getting busy, people started talking about it, and the Fang family became lively again.

It's not for anything else, just because every household doesn't get much food, but Fang's sweet potato harvest is bumper.

It is well known that Fang's family has no shortage of food this year, so they came up with the idea of ​​borrowing sweet potatoes. Anyway, they will just wait until the sweet potatoes are planted next year.

Ever since Shen Jinggui leaked the production of sweet potatoes, Fang Youshun knew that such a day would come, so when these people came to borrow sweet potatoes, he happily borrowed them, but not much, just two or three catties per family, And let Shen Yuxiu or Shen Yulin write it down, and it doesn't matter whether these people want to pay back the food or other things.

Of course, some people said that he was stingy, and he was only willing to borrow such a little, and he just smiled at this.

They are all from the village. If you borrow them, I will give them to you. This is human favor.If you can still make irresponsible remarks, it means that the person doesn't need this thing much, so it doesn't matter if you don't borrow it.

What's more, with so many families, two or three catties for each family would add up to a lot. If there were more, wouldn't his family have enough to eat?He didn't have such lofty sentiments, he made his own family starve in order to lend to other people's homes.

Different from Fang's family, Shen Yuling's family also began to suffer from hunger at this time.

It's not that her family is out of food, but that she only has a few hundred catties of food, but Fourth Aunt Shen has to plan to feed the whole family for a year. Shen's fourth son, Shen's fourth aunt and the children just had a full soup.

But this soup can be gone in just one urination, and it won't last long, and the stomach will growl with hunger.

Shen Yuling went home again in the evening clutching her hungry and aching stomach, and couldn't help saying weakly to Aunt Shen who was cooking: "Mom, can we make the porridge thicker? I'm hungry every time I go home It’s almost impossible to walk.”

"Then don't move around when you're at school, you won't be hungry if you save some energy." Fourth Aunt Shen said as a matter of course while lighting the fire.

She and the children also cook like this at home. When they are full, they are all caged on the kang to keep them from moving, and they don't feel too hungry all morning.

Shen Yuling was speechless after hearing this, and thought for a while and said: "It's really not possible, let's go to uncle's house to borrow some sweet potatoes, that stuff will fill your stomach anyway."

However, she never expected that Fourth Aunt Shen, who was still calm and cooking, raised her head and stared at her fiercely when she heard this, and warned through gritted teeth: "Shut your mouth, and let me listen to you later." When you say this, I'll sew your mouth shut."

Shen Yuling was speechless, but seeing Fourth Aunt Shen's fierce look, she didn't dare to say anything, she turned her head and lay down on the kang in annoyance, and stopped moving.

She didn't understand why her own mother had such a big opinion of her uncle's family.

What time is it now, the whole family is so hungry every day that they can't walk, why can't her mother let go of her grudges and bow her head.

However, Fourth Aunt Shen was also very aggrieved.

Back then, when she married into the Shen family, her natal family was the most useful among the sisters-in-law. Because of this, she naturally felt that her status was higher than the other sisters-in-law, and she even looked down on Fang who was a fool. Grandma's Fang Yan.

It's also because Fang Yan's mother and daughter don't know each other well. Back then, if the two mothers had winked at each other, and if they let her in a little bit, the two families would not have such a deadlock in the future.
