Chapter 110 Seven

Without even thinking about it, Jin Xi directly chose the last option: leave the house without leaving the house!
This surprised Liang Yuzhong and Mrs. Sun!
"Xi'er, if you really want to leave the house, let alone the small tile house we live in, even the old stool under your buttocks, we can't take it away. It's Chinese New Year, where will our family of four live? ?" Sun asked worriedly.

"Mother, it's the critical moment of the Chinese New Year, even if we really want to separate, grandma won't let the four of us go out, even others will have to give a little grace for a few days, grandma cares about face so much Humans won't let people poke their backs, mother, don't worry!" Jin Xi analyzed.

"When the new year is over, shouldn't we go to Gapo's?"

"Xi'er is right. Parents are not so cruel. Father also said that even if the family is separated, we have to live together this year, so we can still live in this house until the end of the New Year!" Liang Yuzhong said. , Sun was relieved a little, but then there were other worries.

"But even so, it's not a solution for us to live in your Gapo all the time. No matter what, we have to have our own house. I'm going to set the moon around the Mid-Autumn Festival. The customs in our area have to be produced in our own home. Only then!" Sun said, Liang Yuzhong nodded, as a man, what he wants most is to be able to build a house of his own to shelter his wife and children from wind and rain.

Jin Xi smiled, and said: "In the next few days, let father prepare some gifts, go to our Lizheng's house in Jinjishan Village, and decide on the selection of land to build a house. Let's go to Granny's house first, and dad will stay here to build a house!"

"Xi'er, what kind of house should we build? It would take a lot of time to build a big house with blue tiles and white walls and a patio, but it would be much easier to build a small courtyard like ours!" Liang Yuzhong Asking Jinxi for advice, Sun and Jinrou also listened attentively, this is planning their own home.

Jin Xi thought for a while, and said: "I don't know what my parents think, but if you ask me, I think that when we choose a land, we must choose a large and open place. As for building a house, we should build a small courtyard Well, just like our backyard now, the upper room and the east and west wing rooms can be lived in. Save all the open space, I want to surround a big yard. Plant vegetables in the backyard, raise some chickens and ducks, and the front yard Plant more fruit trees, flowers and plants."

"Although there is no patio in the house, it is inconvenient to wash in rainy days. At that time, we will dig a well in the backyard and build a pool for washing at the mouth of the well. This will not only solve the problem of draft water, but also facilitate washing and irrigation!" Jin Xi thought about it.

Sun and Jinrou's eyes showed longing light, Liang Yuzhong listened seriously, nodded and said: "I think so too, our family of four, plus the unborn third child, there are nine houses that can definitely live in Come here, and you can still use five rooms!"

"It's good to grow some flowers and plants. When the time comes, Xi'er can make fragrant soap, which will be useful!" Sun said with a smile.

"Rou'er likes to plant fruit trees, there are a lot of fruits to eat!" Jin Rou also actively expressed her views.

"To do so many things, at least it will cost dozens of taels of silver. Where does our money come from?" Sun asked again worriedly.

"Mother, don't forget, we have fifteen taels of silver in hand now!" Jin Xi said cheerfully, and when talking about saving silver, she lowered her voice to prevent the walls from getting ears.

"I remember you went to the county town to buy a batch of goods and sold them back. Why do you still have so many?" Sun asked in surprise.

"Mother, the money used to buy the goods belongs to the public in the shop. The fifteen taels of mine are the dividends we get after deducting other things!" Sun Ji Grocery Store is now basically the three major shareholders, and Jin Xi , Sun Yubao, and Sun Erhu, the income is divided equally among the three, and Zhang's share belongs to the bride price, which is calculated separately.

"Hey, I never thought that our shop is really profitable!" Sun said with emotion.

"These are all thanks to our Xi'er. If it weren't for the money-making methods she came up with, we might not even be able to cover ourselves with warm new quilts!" Liang Yuzhong said with mixed feelings.

"Everyone has contributed, but I alone can't do it, especially Dad. How come I don't rely on Dad's carpentry skills to help each other?" Jin Xi laughed, unity is strength, we must run Xiaokang, the feelings of a family are like that hemp rope, tightly twisted together, and then exert their strength in the same direction!
With money in hand, Liang Yuzhong and his wife felt much more at ease.

"Xi'er, Dad, I just made a calculation. If we want to successfully build the small courtyard with a courtyard, I'm afraid it will cost us all. We need to prepare forty or fifty taels of silver. We still need some." Liang Yuzhong said.

"It's not a problem. During the Chinese New Year period, the business in our shop is good. When the spring comes back, there will be new dividends in the shop. With our share, we can build the house. If we really want to pay for the shortcomings , let’s borrow some from my uncle, no matter what, we will definitely live in our new house when the moon falls on the Mid-Autumn Festival!” Jin Xi said.

Liang Yuzhong and Sun Shi looked at each other, both of them had happy and confident smiles on their faces.

"Xi'er, your parents are honest peasants. If we don't have a house, we can build it ourselves. But if we don't have a field, then we really lose the foundation of our livelihood and career! I'm still a little panicked. Son." After a long time, Sun sighed.

"Xi'erniang, when did you become so concerned about gains and losses?" Liang Yuzhong was packing up his sleeping clothes for Liang Yuzhou, when he heard Sun's general sigh, he couldn't help laughing.

"Our shop is very prosperous now. My daughter is quick-witted, and I have carpentry skills. Even if I don't have a field, I can't do without our mouthfuls of food! What do you think you are worried about!"

"Our ancestors have been farmers who have thrown away food in Tuli for generations, so we can't lose our roots!" Sun said.

"This is a woman's opinion. We have money in our hands, why can't we do it?" Liang Yuzhong's mind turned faster than ever before.

"Father said it very well, that's the reason!" Jin Xi clapped her hands aside and said, "I understand Mother's concerns, but Mother is afraid that everything will happen in case, right? Hehe, after we build the house If we have more money on hand, let’s go to the village or a neighboring village to ask, buy a paddy field of several tens of acres, rent it to others to cultivate, and my mother will sit at home and wait for the rent to be a landlord, okay? I can't do carpentry anymore when I'm old, and Xi'er doesn't bother to take care of the shop anymore, so let's all come back and collect rent with mother to be landlords, shall we?"

"It's my daughter who understands what I mean. No matter when and where, we have to hold a few land deeds in our hands to sleep soundly!" Sun smiled, Liang Yuzhong shook his head helplessly, and bid farewell to Niangsan, farewell After losing the cheerful atmosphere in the house, I went to sleep with Liang Yuzhou in the front house.

All the members of Lao Liang's family went to bed hungry tonight.Of course, Mrs. Tan in the east room sent rice cakes and preserved fruits to her precious daughter, Liang Yumei.

On the side of the Westinghouse, Jinxi quietly took out a bundle from her set of clothes, and the three of her mothers sat cross-legged on the bed, ate all kinds of snacks and dried fruits in the bundle, and hot black tea. After a pause, I cleaned up and lay back on the warm blanket.

Mrs. Sun hugged one in each arm, and the three of mothers fell asleep one after another in this dark and damp hut, after thinking hard about the bright future to come.

....................................................................................

On the first night back at Lao Liang's house, Jin Xi had a very wonderful dream. In the dream, she was standing in a large yard full of fruit trees and flowers. All she could see were flowers and fruits with bent branches. Then, Mrs. Sun came out of the kitchen, and called her to eat with a smile...

Jin Xi woke up suddenly, Huo Di opened his eyes, and heard Tan's scolding, coming from the direction of the kitchen above.

Jin Xi frowned, Tan shi was scolding people again this morning, and she didn't know what bad luck caused it.

Touching her side again, Rou'er rolled to the innermost part of the bed, and slept facing the wall, but the place where Mrs. Sun had been lying was empty.

Tan's yelling came again, accompanied by the sound of the bowl being smashed, oh, it must be Sun's disaster!Jin Xi was so excited that she didn't even have time to put on the padded jacket, so she directly pulled the outer jacket and put it on her body, opened the door and rushed to the upper kitchen.

..................................................................

Going up to the stove, Mrs. Tan stood at the door of the stove staring at her splayed feet, scolding into the smoky stove with snot and tears.

"The lawless prostitute's hoof is almost climbing on my head! Damn it, let you crack an egg custard for your sister and break a bowl for me. This is hitting my old face! Damn it! That's right, the old Liang's family has been plagued by bad luck for eight lifetimes, and you, who are so provocative and harmful, have caused my old Liang's father and son to turn against each other..."
As soon as Jin Xi heard this, she immediately realized that Mrs. Tan was using Liang Yuzhong's mention of the separation of the family to hurt Mrs. Sun!
Jin Xi coughed lightly, and called Tan Shi "milk" as usual.

Tan doesn't even give Jin Xi a look, but still leans on the door frame and curses into the kitchen.

Jin Xi stuck out her tongue, forced her way into the kitchen from Tan's side.

In the kitchen, it turned out that not only Mrs. Sun was alone, but Mrs. Jin was also there.

Mrs. Jin stood on the top and clapped the spoon in a muffled voice, while Mrs. Sun squatted under the base of the pot, buried her head to pick up the broken bowl pieces on the ground, and put them into a soil sieve filled with earth ash from the stove.The fragments were stuck in a puddle of egg yolks on the ground, and it took a lot of effort to pick them out piece by piece.

Jin Xi saw at a glance that two fingers on Sun's right hand were cut and bleeding.

"Mother, don't pick it up, I'll pick up these bowls." Jin Xi knelt down and stopped Sun.

Sun kept her head buried until Jin Xi knelt down beside her and grabbed her hand, then she raised her head, surprised why Jin Xi came here?

As soon as Sun raised her head, Jin Xi saw that her eyes were red and her face was still wet, she was obviously squatting here wiping her tears, Jin Xi was really angry and hurt...

"Mother, have you forgotten what Dr. Li said? You said you didn't lie on the bed early in the morning, why did you come here to find bad luck? No, you have to wash your fingers quickly, Bazaar. Otherwise, it won't get inflamed and festered. Leave these to me, and you should go back to the house!" Jin Xi urged Sun in a deep voice.

Mrs. Sun hesitated for a moment, and then she heard Mrs. Tan scolding outside: "Damn it, which woman doesn't have children? My mother gave birth to five or six, and your sister-in-law gave birth to four, and they were all boys. No one had children." Your Sun family is precious! Letting you beat an egg custard and toss it like this? It’s useless to cut your finger, and then turn around and cry and complain to your man, blaming others, that’s shameless! My old lady still I didn't ask you to pay for eggs and bowls..."

Sun Shi and Jin Xi looked at each other, both of them were taken aback for a moment, the conversation was in a low voice, Tan Shi's hearing is not so good!

"Grandma, how many times has my mother cracked egg custard for my little sister since she married into Lao Liang's house? I'm afraid there are no more than a hundred of them, right? Which time did something go wrong?" Jin Xi dropped the broken wrist in her hand and walked away. Go to the door of the kitchen and talk to Mrs. Tan.

"Grandma has raised so many people, and she is a person who has experienced it. She should know that in this month of my mother, the sickness is very serious, and I don't want to smell those smelly things. Grandma said that she is a person who has experienced experience, so then My mother shouldn't have knocked on this egg!"

"Damn it, the useless old hen that hasn't opened a nest for a few years, how can it be expensive once it starts a nest? It has become a phoenix? What do you mean it can't smell the fishy smell of eggs? I have to keep my eyes open and wait and see. Let's see what kind of golden egg you lay for our old Liang family, it's so refined and expensive, it's a black heart..."

"Grandma is really unreasonable. My mother just saved her life yesterday. Dr. Li said that she should be taken care of by a good general. My mother respects you. This day, I came here to cook and serve you at dawn. My mother has been doing the same for more than ten years. I come here every day like this, why can’t grandma see my mother’s kindness in her eyes? Is it interesting to make my mother look like this just because it’s just a bowl, or a bowl with a hole in it and eggs? ?”

If this was the case in the past, Mrs. Sun would never have dared to let Jinxi talk to Mrs. Tan like this, but this time, Mrs. Sun stood aside with her hands down, the blood on her finger was still dripping down, Mrs. Sun did not She opened her mouth to stop Jinxi, but let Jinxi say what she had been keeping in her heart for more than ten years.

Tan Shi was shocked, she didn't expect that Jinxi, a ten-year-old girl, would dare to confront her openly.

"Damn it, what kind of mother-in-law has raised such a wicked girl, I'm training my daughter-in-law here, and even your father doesn't dare to intervene, so it's your turn to intervene, an immortal bastard who loses money!" Tan Shi spread the range of artillery fire to Jin Xi, and angrily reprimanded her.

Jin Xi smiled instead of anger: "My father didn't dare to interrupt, but I dared to, because it was my mother who was being scolded, and there is no mother who is as big as the world! Also, the grandma is also a woman, and so is the sister-in-law, isn't that grandma also here? Calling yourself and my sister-in-law a loser?"

Mrs. Tan was so angry that she was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that this girl's teeth were sharp, and she slipped her words. This really caught the girl's way!
