Chapter 74 Emergency

A week later, cousins ​​Liu Erya and Liu Xiaoxia brought the cloth shoes they made, including two embroidered silk scarves.

Looking at the vivid white plum blossoms on the silk scarf, Jiang Yuan was pleasantly surprised. She would not sell such embroidery skills in an online store for less than RMB 1000.

He quickly settled the bill for them, and left them to eat in the courtyard. When they went to the Jiang family's mansion, Jiang Yuan secretly stuffed a lot of things into their back baskets.

In the past few days, she bought a lot of thick wool insoles in Pinxixi, and counted thirteen pairs directly by head, hoping to send them warmth in this cold winter.

Liu Erya and Liu Xiaoxia came out of the Jiang family's main room, each carrying twenty kilograms of grain in their hands.

The food was given by Mrs. Jiang. She knew that the sisters of the Liu family were helping Jiang Yuan, and she felt that giving some favors would make them more dedicated to their work.

Liu Erya and Liu Xiaoxia went home against the cold wind, the family members were warming up in the main room, the adults were making shoes, and the girls were embroidering flowers.

Hearing the movement of the cousin sisters coming back, the girls happily put down the things in their hands and surrounded them.

"How is it? Are you qualified?"

"Have you collected everything?"

Everyone asked questions in one go, and Liu Erya only felt that there were countless bees flying around her ears.

"Okay, okay! Everyone, sit down!" Liu Xiaoxia waved her hands impatiently, and Yang Lanhua quickly went up to help her remove the backpack.

As soon as she took the pannier, she realized how heavy it was, and her eyes turned red immediately.

Her daughter is only 14 years old, and she has to carry such a heavy thing back and forth across mountains and ridges for five or six hours.

I want my man to follow me, but I am afraid that other people in the village will notice and gossip. I can't hold my head up without a son in my family. How is life in the village?

"Mom, Grandma Jiang gave each of us twenty catties of grain." Liu Xiaoxia didn't feel her mother's sadness. She was very happy. The twenty catties of grain mixed with some coarse grains was enough for their family to eat for ten days.

Not to mention that Jiang Yuan secretly stuffed a lot of other things into their back baskets, the most precious of which were a pencil and five exercise books.

Yang Lanhua squeezed out a stiff smile, "They are all kind people."

Thinking of it this way, she can also alleviate the regret of marrying her eldest daughter into such a family.

"All the shoes are qualified!" Liu Erya told everyone with a smile and handed the money from selling shoes to her mother, Luo Caixia.

Liu Xiaoxia also quickly took out the money she spent selling shoes. They had to work slower in the first few days this time, but in the next two days they moved a little faster under Huazhi's guidance, and they made more shoes than last time. The income is just a few yuan more.

Liu Erya handed her the 30 yuan that belonged to the flower branch, "Jiang Yuan is very satisfied with the silk scarf, because it is double-sided embroidery, so I gave [-] yuan more for each piece."

Huazhi didn't say much. She collected the money from Shanruliu and handed over five yuan to Luo Caixia. This was her living expenses.

Because I have to concentrate on embroidery, it is not easy to spend time on cooking, so I simply pay the living expenses and eat with the Liu family.

Before dawn the next day, brothers Liu Dagen and Liu Xiaogen went out with torches, and they were going to the grain station in the county to buy grain.

There is not enough food in Shiwa Village, and the Liu family is a girl. The land is allocated to a small amount, and the food produced is not enough. This time the girls have made money, so they want to buy some food, otherwise this winter will be very difficult. difficult.

At dawn, Liu Erya woke up. She woke up the seven younger sisters from the bed, opened half of the window and began to lead them to read and write.

She has made up her mind, saving money now, and sending her younger sisters to school next year.

When it was dawn, after breakfast, Luo Caixia and Yang Lanhua made shoes, and the little girls embroidered with the flowers.

Everyone has good hopes for the future in their hearts.

In the evening, Liu Dagen and Liu Xiaogen, who had gone to the county town to buy grain, hadn't returned home. Everyone waited and waited until midnight, but no one was seen, but the village head, Liu Laoshuan, brought his two sons to the house and sent them home. A bolt from the blue.

It turned out that Liu Dagen accidentally fell down on the way back carrying food. After being sent to the hospital, the doctor said that he had broken a rib and needed an operation.

Since they had just bought food, they didn't have much money left. It happened that Liu Laoshuan's two sons came back from working in the town, and they helped send him to the hospital, and paid part of the medical expenses in advance. Food was also delivered.

As soon as Luo Caixia heard the bad news, her legs softened and she sat on the ground, and everyone was in a mess.

Fortunately, Huazhi was still stable, so she took out all her savings, a total of 82 yuan, 4 cents and 2 cents. Yang Lanhua looked at Liu Xiaoxia, saw her nodding slightly to herself, and went to the room to save the remaining 13 yuan. The deposit was taken out.

Liu Erya hurriedly went to his parents' room to search and found only 20 yuan.

Liu Laoshuan's son only paid 20 yuan in advance. They said that the operation would cost at least 400 yuan, and there were various other expenses. The total amount was estimated to be thousands of yuan. Luo Caixia's heart dropped. She had never seen him again in her life. So much money.

"What should I do? What should I do?" She murmured nervously, not knowing what to do, and her younger daughter, who was in the third grade, was so frightened that she cried.

Seeing that she still didn't recover, Yang Lanhua slapped her on the face, "Sister-in-law! Stop thinking about it! Pack up your things quickly! I'll let Xiaoxia and Erya go to Dayun Village to find their sister to find a way, you cheer up! Are you going to scare the children to death! Her uncle is still waiting for you in the hospital!"

Luo Caixia trembled all over, and finally cried out with a "wow".

Huazhi frowned coldly, put all the money in a small cloth bag and handed it to Yang Lanhua, "Sister Caixia is not clear-headed right now, you are responsible for taking the money."

Yang Lanhua nodded, and asked Xiaoqiu to go to the kitchen to get some pancakes. Liu Xiaogen guessed that she was still hungry, so she had to bring some dry food.

After packing up, Luo Caixia and Yang Lanhua followed Liu Xiao from Liu Laoshuan's family down the mountain.

Huazhi drove the younger ones to sleep, and sat in the main room embroidering, guarding several big sacks of food.

Liu Erya and Liu Xiaoxia almost ran all the way to Dayun Village.The two of them were so tired that they didn't dare to rest.

Hearing that something happened to Liu Dagen, Liu Juhua was shaking so much that she couldn't stand still, but Jiang Li quickly caught her with his quick eyes and hands. The movement on their side caused Old Man Jiang and Old Mrs. Jiang to quarrel.

Hearing this, the old man Jiang took a few puffs of dry cigarettes. He only asked Jiang Dali to accompany Liu Juhua to the hospital, but he didn't mention borrowing money.

Liu Juhua looked at Jiang Dali, and Jiang Dali looked at Uncle Jiang.

Uncle Jiang waved his hand and motioned for them to go back to their room first.

Liu Ju used part of the money she earned before to buy bicycles for Jiang Dali, but now she only has more than 200 yuan.

Liu Xiaochun has more money than her, but Jiang Erli is not very willing for her to lend it out, because with the conditions of the Liu family, it is unlikely that the money will be returned after the loan is made.

The two had a quarrel in the room, and she only got 100 yuan and gave it to Liu Juhua.

 Good afternoon friends, remember to vote for me.
