The next day, Tian Xinghua had obviously lost some strength and was able to get up and make breakfast with her little girl.
She looked at the stove made of blue bricks and couldn't help feeling heartbroken. These kids really don't know how to live a normal life. Whose stove is built with blue bricks? How much money does this cost?
"Is this all your sister's idea? This kid, you can't be so cunning with just a little money, right?"
When Song Jinfang saw that her mother was dissatisfied with her sister, she quickly explained:
"Mom, my sister doesn't have any money. She has a lot of money. Don't be afraid. Our family is not short of money now."
Tian Xinghua glanced at her little daughter with dissatisfaction. "No matter how much money you have, you can't be so cunning. As the saying goes, if you can eat well and wear well, you won't be poor forever. You can't learn from your sister."
"Oh, mother knows so much."
Song Jinfang hugged her mother and felt really good about being with her. It's good to criticize yourself.
Song Jinxiu got up only when she had breakfast.
After the family had breakfast, Zhang Bangchui said to Tian Xinghua, "You stay here. I have to go. I am worried about my mother being alone at home."
Tian Xinghua said, "Okay, I'll stay for a few days and then I'll give you the money when I go back."
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief from her body, opened it, and found two copper coins inside.
"You gave me this before. Take it back. We are out of rice at home."
"No, no, I'll give it to you. You can take it. Although the children don't need money, it's better to have it in your hands than to give it to the children."
Zhang Bangchui said this and turned to walk away.
Song Jinxiu hurriedly said, "Uncle, wait a minute. I'll ask my mother to take you back."
Zhang Bangchui said quickly: "I can walk back, I won't bother you anymore."
Song Jinxiu smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I've already called the village head, and he'll be coming over soon in his ox cart.
At this moment, Master's voice sounded at the door, "Chunsheng, Jinxiu, have you eaten?"
Song Jinxiu quickly responded, "I've eaten, Master. Let's go now."
As she spoke, she winked at her brother. Song Chunsheng said nothing, went into the east wing, brought out a bag of rice and a bag of flour, and put them on the ox cart.
This is what the brother and sister have discussed.
This man is now their stepfather in name only. As for whether or not the mother wants to live with him, she will have to wait until she makes a decision.
From the few words my mother said yesterday, I learned that although Zhang Bangchui was poor, he had never deliberately treated her harshly.
When I looked at the hammer again this morning, I found that its eyes and nose were no longer red. As for the red eyes and black nose I saw yesterday, it was probably because you cried yesterday.
A man who can cry for his mother is not completely useless.
Although he was thin, it was just due to malnutrition. Moreover, although this person is a hunter, he has an air of bookishness that is not disgusting.
For your mother's sake, please be polite to me.
Song Chunsheng still disliked this man and didn't want to talk to him. So Song Jinxiu said:
"Uncle, you guys eat this rice and flour first. My mother will stay at home to recover. When she is better, we will come to visit you."
"No, no, no, that won't work. How can I take your things?"
Zhang Bangchui tried to refuse, but seeing that Song Chunsheng ignored him and directly loaded the rice and flour onto the truck, he looked at Tian Xinghua sheepishly and asked her for help.
Tian Xinghua was also stunned. She didn't expect the children to do this.
While I was blaming the children for their clumsy actions, I couldn't help but feel relieved.
Being able to give things to this man shows that the children do not resent their remarriage.
She sighed and said, "Here you go. Mother is not feeling well. You can stop embroidering. You won't make much money."
Her mother-in-law, who was originally from a farmer's family, didn't know how to embroider. It was just that she was in poor health, so she learned to embroider a lotus handkerchief or something. However, because her embroidery skills were not good, she couldn't sell it at a high price.
This man was also very good. He went up the mountain to hunt every day. In fact, he just set traps and tried his luck. Sometimes he could pick some herbs and bring them back to make ends meet.
Half a year after her marriage, although she had little to eat, her mother and daughter tried their best to make sure she had enough to eat, fearing that she would be unhappy and run away from living with them.
In fact, she was not that delicate. She worked every day in Old Song's house and rarely had a full meal.
Although the Song family has five acres of land, they have two students at home. Old Mrs. Song is very stingy and treats her, a daughter-in-law who has no support from her family and is not favored by her husband, like an animal.
If she were to say, she was enjoying a good life in Zhang Bangchui's home.
Seeing the mother's reluctant expression, and then looking at Zhang Bangchui's look of looking back every step he took.
"Ahem,"
Song Jinxiu couldn't help but cough.
What are you doing? Why don’t you leave quickly?
It was as if they were a vicious mother-in-law who broke up the couple.
Two days passed after Zhang Bangchui left.
Song Jinxiu said, "Mom, I need to have my leg checked. Let's see if I can buy some scar removal cream. Also, I want to send my younger brother to school."
"What? You want to send Qiu Sheng to school?" Tian Xinghua was surprised.
The four brothers and sisters were all mentally prepared because they had discussed this matter long ago.
Tian Xinghua frowned, "Hey, isn't it too early for Qiu Sheng to go to school? Although you have a house and land now, don't the crops in the land still need to be taken home? It will take a whole season to harvest.
You guys don't know, this autumn is still the autumn season. By the way, have you made it clear with me? They have to pay the summer tax, don't let it be charged on us. ”
Song Chunsheng smiled and whispered: "Mom, there has been no harvest for two years, and our family has no money to support Qiu Sheng to go to school."
As he said this, he patted his waist to show that he had money.
The head of the village had already checked his accounts with him and gave him all the remaining money after buying the land and building the house, which was more than two taels.
He gave the money to his younger sister, but she refused, saying that she should keep it and she would pay for household expenses.
Tian Xinghua glared at her son and said, "Why are all of you kids like this? I know you got some money, but how much will be left after building a house and buying land?"
Even if you have some money left, you can't spend it recklessly. You must know that if you have enough food and clothes, you will not be poor. If you plan too much, you will not be poor. ”
Song Jinxiu was speechless. She had heard these words so many times in the past few days that her ears were callused.
"Mom, you have to go to school early. We can't lose at the starting line."
As she spoke, she hugged her mother's arm, turned her hand over, and stuffed a silver ingot into her hand.
A white and heavy ingot of silver and two taels of silver appeared in her hand so suddenly that Tian Xinghua was so frightened that she couldn't catch it or throw it away, and her heart was pounding.
"Hey, what?"
She knew the money, but she couldn't believe it.
She had seen so many small pieces of silver in her life, but this was the first time she had seen such a whole ingot of silver.
Moreover, the size of this ingot was too big, she couldn't believe it was real.
I saw my mother hugging the silver, her lips trembling.
Song Jinxiu smiled mischievously, flipped her hand, and stuffed an ingot of silver and two taels of silver into her hand.
"Ouch, I'm a bitch."
Tian Xinghua held the silver in her arms and said to Song Jinfang anxiously, "Wu Ya, hurry up and close the door."
Seeing Wu Ya running to close the door, she sat down and angrily said to Song Jinxiu: "Child, why are you so ignorant? You didn't hide the money well, but you took it out so carelessly?"
But she was scared to death, wasn't she?
