Wake up Xiao Qiusheng, make him go to the toilet and wash his hands, bring a toilet for his brother, and force him to solve his private problems in the room.
After opening the window for ventilation for a while, Song Jinxiu pretended to go out for a walk and came back with steamed buns and vegetable cakes from the space. The four siblings started to eat dinner.
Looking at the steamed buns in his hand and then at the vegetable pancake, Song Chunsheng frowned.
My little sister still doesn't know how to live. Although these steamed buns and vegetable cakes are delicious, they are expensive, aren't they?
This bun is stuffed with meat and costs three cents each.
Three dollars can buy three white flour buns and six steamed buns made of wild vegetables and grains. Half a cup of sorghum rice.
"Let's buy some sorghum rice tomorrow and cook our own porridge."
Half a month, enough for them to have a full meal for a day.
This time it was Song Jinxiu's turn to frown.
Sorghum rice porridge is fine to drink occasionally, but who can stand drinking it every day?
No matter how long you stay awake, your throat will still be hoarse. Drink a big bowl and you will feel full at the time, but you will be hungry soon. In the past few days, she often woke up in the middle of the night because of hunger.
Song Jinxiu said: "Brother, we don't need this bite of food now. If you want your leg to get better quickly, you need to nourish it. We need to eat better."
"Xiu'er, I know you have some money now, but five taels may seem like a lot, but it's not easy to spend. Besides, I want to discuss something with you."
Five taels?
Song Jinxiu blinked, it seemed that her brother also misunderstood.
She glanced at her sister.
One said five hundred, the other said five taels, there is a big difference in their cognition!
Thinking of Brother Fuquan, I wonder what that kid will think?
Song Jinxiu looked at her palm.
Could it be five taels?
Don't say it, Song Jinxiu really told the truth.
Song Jinxiu couldn't think of how to explain that she replaced the silver bowl, silver spoon and silver chopsticks with a crystal ball. Nor can it explain the use of a crystal ball as a substitute for five hundred taels of silver.
Or one lie after another?
The fairy gave me the treasure. If I don't leave, I can deceive Goat Beard or even an ignorant little girl. But if I tell my brother, I don't know if he will believe it.
If he didn't believe it and asked her about the cause, how many lies would she have to tell to make up for it?
Song Jinxiu hadn't figured out how to explain it yet, when she heard Song Chunsheng say, "That thing is your own private money, it should be kept for your dowry. If my legs were good, I would definitely not want it, really."
But now...
I want to discuss with you, can we use the money to buy two acres first? ”
Song Jinxiu was stared at by her brother with expectant eyes and nodded.
She must buy it. She also wants to buy a big manor!
Seeing his sister nodded without hesitation, Song Chunsheng smiled with satisfaction.
He continued, "After you buy it, keep two taels for your dowry and five taels for my younger sister. Save the rest, maybe you can find me a wife."
Song Jinxiu opened her mouth in surprise.
Song Chunsheng said with some shame: "San Ya, Jin Xiu, you are the eldest sister, so I can only let you suffer the loss."
Song Jinxiu was a little confused.
Are you thinking too far ahead?
How old am I? Have you ever thought about him getting married and having children?
Song Chunsheng continued to chatter: "You are the eldest sister, you must learn to be frugal and manage the household. You are all still young, so you must hide your money and not let your children know, understand?"
You did a good job before, that bowl was left there for such a long time without anyone noticing it. Very good, you will do the same in the future and put the silver away.
Two acres of land is enough to feed you if you work hard and eat frugally.
If you don't understand something, ask Aunt Cuihua. Although Aunt Cuihua is a bit talkative, she is also kind-hearted.
If anyone bullies you, shout loudly and go find the village head. Grandpa Lizheng is a good man.
Don’t bother me all the time. If you do it too often, I’ll get annoyed…”
Song Chunsheng kept talking, saying whatever he thought of.
The more Song Jinxiu listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
Brother, what does this mean?
Leave a last word?
"Brother, isn't this something you should be in charge of? With you here, we have nothing to fear."
Song Chunsheng smiled bitterly, "I don't know if my leg can be healed. I think it's better not to amputate it. Two taels is too much. If it can't be cured, then the money will be wasted, right?
Besides, our bodies and hair are given by our parents. I also want to have a complete body.
Hey, don't be anxious. If, I mean if, if something happens to me, San Ya, our family will depend on you. No matter what, I have to raise my little brother Wu Ya to adulthood. ”
It turned out to be a last will.
Song Jinxiu held her forehead with her hand.
"Brother, isn't it just one leg? If you can save me, I can stand up on two legs. If you can't save me, I can live with only one leg.
Two taels are nothing, as long as my brother can get better, we are willing to spend it.
As for our bodies and hair, they are given by our parents, so isn't there anything we can do about it? As long as you are alive, it is the best reward for your mother.
Don't be sad, brother. What's wrong with your leg?
Isn’t there that one-armed hero who travels around the world in a carefree manner? If all else fails, we can be a one-legged hero and start a new life in a wheelchair. ”
Song Chunsheng: ...
What kind of sister is this? Will it comfort you?
Isn't it a leg?
That's a leg, not a toe. It's so easy to say. What's wrong with a leg? Why does she talk like she's drinking cold water?
And what about the one-armed hero and the one-legged hero? What the hell is this?
But he could see that his elder sister was a very big girl.
Look at my little sister and brother, their eyes are still red and swollen.
Never mind, being older also has its advantages. When I really pass away, my elder sister won't just cry like these two little ones.
However, think about it, if I die, my sister will still be nonchalant and say: What does it matter? Isn't it a life? Die. Die.
Well, the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. Song Chunsheng simply kept silent and focused on eating his buns.
Seeing that her brother stopped talking, Song Jinxiu felt it was necessary to let him know that her family was not short of money now. Don't just think about random things all day long and risk your life for a few dollars.
Song Jinxiu leaned close to her brother's ear and whispered, "Well, brother, in fact, I not only pawned the silver bowl, but also something else. I didn't pawn it for five taels, but five hundred taels."
Song Jinxiu stretched out a hand and shook it.
"Burp, burp," Song Chunsheng choked after swallowing a bun.
Yes, they are really brother and sister. They both stretch their necks and stare when they hiccup.
Song Jinxiu quickly brought him a bowl of water.
Song Jinfang covered her mouth and laughed.
It turns out that my brother can also be scared.
Xiao Qiusheng didn't understand what was going on. Seeing his second sister covering her mouth, he followed suit.
Song Chunsheng drank two sips of water before he recovered.
He stopped eating the buns, grabbed his sister's hand, and asked repeatedly:
"Really? You're not lying to me, are you? What on earth did you pawn that's worth so much money?
Don't lie, okay? Those pawnshops are full of cunning people. If they knew they were cheated, we couldn't afford to offend them. ”
"Oh, brother, am I that ignorant?"
Song Jinxiu slapped her brother's hand away. The child's hand was so strong that it hurt her.
"It was the pearl ginseng I exchanged for. The ginseng was of high age and saved the family's life. The family gave me a silver bowl and a crystal ball. I didn't expect the crystal ball to be so valuable."
"So, brother, don't think too much. Even if you only have one leg left, our family will still support you.
Besides, maybe the swelling in my leg will go down tomorrow, so I can have the bone re-set. In a few days, you will be on your feet again.
Don't be so sentimental like a woman anymore. ”
