Chapter 70

After returning home, the old lady immediately took the basket behind Yuansi, then turned around and locked the courtyard door, and said to her daughter, "See when you can tell your master that our house is not busy anymore. Let's see when it's convenient for the old man to send us the wheat back, the wheat is still wet, don't cover it and you will be blind for nothing."

Yuansi rolled her eyes, "Well, I see."

Seeing that the daughter was interested, the old lady entered the room with the basket, and then opened the basket and took out one by one.

She exclaimed every time she took out one, and when she was done, she muttered about her prodigal daughter, but she went out to show off with a brand new enamel jar in her hand.

As for the money and tickets that the girl needs to buy these things, do you still need to ask, the girl herself must have been given by her fairy master.

Now Yuansi doesn't have to make excuses for doing these things when she goes home, the old lady can make up her mind very comprehensively by herself.

But she still gave the old lady the money from selling pork belly.

That night, when the old lady came home, she brought back a bowl full of fried pickles. It turned out that she had gone to her cousin’s house. Fangping was still thinking about what she promised her little aunt in the afternoon, so she went home and told her grandma The little aunt gave her meat buns and candies, so Chen Fengzhen didn't use her daughter-in-law to do it, and went to the kitchen to add more oil and fried a big bowl of delicious mustard greens for her niece.It happened that the old lady was going to visit the house, so she directly asked her to bring it back to Yuansi.

The next morning, in order to eat this bowl of pickled vegetables, Yuansi cooked a pot of sticky rice porridge, heated eight big meat buns with a grate on top, and cut a plate of braised pork. The mother and daughter had a good meal meal.

Yuansi thought this pickled vegetable lump was delicious, but it would taste better if more meat was added when frying, so she told the old lady that she wanted to eat this kind of pickled vegetable, and she couldn’t always ask others to ask for it, so it’s better to work harder at home , Also marinate a crock.

The old lady didn't say anything about her daughter's desire to eat pimples, but she was a little embarrassed by the pickled pimples that she wanted to pursue immediately.

"Si'er, we don't have anything at home, so what can I pickle for you? Why don't you wait until the next time I go and see, if there are still people selling pimples, I'll buy you more. No way. Also, just talking about pickled vegetables, our family doesn’t even have a jar for pickled vegetables, so we have to buy them at the market.”

Mustard greens are not expensive, the best one costs only two cents a catty, and a jar of pickled vegetables costs at most a hundred catties, which is only two yuan.But the crock of salted vegetables is not cheap. Buying a jar of about the same size will cost you ten or eight yuan.These two add up to more than ten yuan. If it weren't for the more than 20 yuan my daughter got back yesterday, she would not be willing to give up anything.

"Okay, mother, just remember it. The important thing now is to quickly buy the cotton and cotton tires. The ticket will expire in a few days. If you don't use it, you will be blind." I originally wanted to buy it at the market yesterday, but the cotton Both cotton tires and cotton tires take up a lot of space. It is strange for her to carry so much cotton back by herself, so she suppressed the urge to buy when she was in the supply and marketing cooperative, and took the ticket back to the old lady so that she could go there when she was free. Buy it back.The quilts at home were made many years ago, and the hard ones were clumped together.

The old lady was a little bit reluctant, "Sier, our quilts are well made, why spend so much money to get a new one, how about I go and see who is going to marry a daughter-in-law and a girl, these few tickets are estimated It can be exchanged for a lot of money." The old lady had her own thoughts, "Our mother is an adult laborer in our family, and the work points are enough for both of us." After saying this, the old lady couldn't continue. This is the old trick, but now the few centimeters she earns really can't afford her daughter's food. "Ahem, that's what I meant. Mom thought it was not easy to save some money. Your brother just went out to serve in the army for a year, and he only received eight yuan a month as a subsidy. It's not enough for him to spend, and it doesn't matter that he sends money home. Money. Your brother is getting old now, and if he doesn’t marry a wife, he’s afraid that he won’t be able to find a good one. I think we should save money for the past two years, and save the money for your brother to marry a wife first. After that, there will be your dowry. Hey, if you have more children, you will be in debt, so I can rest assured that you and your brother have been arranged before I close my eyes."

This is the first time Yuansi heard about the original owner's brother after traveling for more than half a year.In my memory, the original owner's older brother, Li Yuanbao, is 24 this year, and will be 25 after the next year. He went to be a soldier at the beginning of the year.Marrying a daughter-in-law for her son has always been a heart problem for the old lady.

However, a powerful widow with a young sister-in-law, Li Yuanbao still inherited Li Laoshi's dull temper, he can't make a fart with three poles, and he can't talk nicely to the little girl, and there is nothing wrong with the family. Money, such conditions are not easy to find a partner.Then there was no news until she was in her 20s. The old lady was so worried at home that she couldn't sleep every night.But with this condition at home, she couldn't help it no matter how worried she was.Later, it was Li Ende who saw that this was not good, and if the nephew was delayed, it would be even more difficult to find, so he gave the old lady an idea to let Li Yuanbao serve as a soldier. If you can become a military officer and take root in the army, then you will have to pick and choose to find a partner. If you take a step back and say that you will return home after a few years, the state will also arrange a job, and you will be a worker when you come back. It will not be difficult to find a partner when the time comes.

The old lady listened to it, and after that, she tried to find connections and give gifts. Finally, Li Yuanbao was sent to the army. A few days ago, she received a letter from her son from the army and asked someone to read it. Only then did she know that the recruit was in the army. The subsidy is only eight yuan a month.In the past six months, Li Yuanbao was not willing to spend a penny other than buying some daily necessities, so he saved 20 yuan and mailed it to the old lady along with the letter.

Of course, the old lady had a good time outside, and the son is filial. This means that all the subsidies were saved and sent back to the old lady.The old lady was happy outside, but when she got home, she became sad.

She basically has no money in her hands, and her son will send back 80 yuan a year. After three or four years, there will be only 80 yuan in deposits. It is barely enough to marry a wife in the countryside, but her son will be a worker when he comes back. You have to marry a daughter-in-law in the city, and the [-] yuan may not be enough.

Now that the old lady thought about her son's marriage, she started digging again.

Yuansi recalled all kinds of things about the brother in the memory of the original owner. He was considered a good brother. He didn't talk much at ordinary times, but he was good to the original owner. The old lady valued sons over daughters. They will divide the good ones into three portions, one for the old lady, one for the younger sister, and one for himself.

At this time, being able to sit like this is a filial child.

Yuansi finished her memories, and she didn't really care about having such a brother. As for the old lady who said she wanted to save money for him to marry a wife, she should save it.

But the premise is that it doesn't affect her quality of life.
