"You kid, you can't listen to half a word?" Xu Shi threw down the chopsticks: "I promised you the clothes that I want to tear off the muslin cloth for you, what are you still crying and crying there for, hurry up and come over to eat!" ”

"I don't want muslin clothes, I want satin-faced clothes!"

"How much does satin cost a foot? How many taels of silver do you have, but how many taels of silver does our family earn a year? Satin clothes, do you dare to think too? "Xu's anger is not light, why doesn't his daughter know that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

"I'm fourteen years old this year, doesn't my mother often say that I want to dress better, so that I can say a good mother-in-law, I put on satin clothes, maybe I can say that I went to the town's mother-in-law, and I gave more dowry, isn't it earning?" Shen Jingqiu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Today, Xiangmiao is wearing new clothes, muslin embroidery, look at the new and new, she is wearing it and going to the vegetable field, but she is not distressed at all, Xiangmiao also said that her mother will pull satin to make skirts for her, why are they all mothers, the second aunt is so willing to her daughter, you are so slamming your daughter?"

Xu was choked a lot, but when he heard Shen Xiangmiao's name, he was angry and had a faint pain in his chest.

For the matter of finding a maid for the Zhang family, if it weren't for Shen Xiangmiao's sharp-toothed quibbles and rampant smashing his family's dishes and stirring up this matter, otherwise he would have earned a few taels of silver! At the moment, I was angry, and I was in charge of things and said, in the end, I was busy but I made more than one or two dollars, and it makes people angry when I think about it.

Today, I went to Shen Jingqiu to show off and set her up, I was really angry!

"Silly girl, this fragrant seedling is provoking you, do you believe it too? I don't want to think about it, just the harvest of the two acres of land in the second room, I usually can't eat well, where is the money to pull what satin to make a skirt for her? That girl is now a ghost, and you honestly fell for her! On the one hand, the Xu family is angry with Shen Xiangmiao, and on the other hand, he hates the anger that iron is not steel, and Shen Jingqiu is stupid, and this little trick can't be seen.

Shen Jingqiu thought about it and felt that what Xu said was very reasonable.

Isn't it usually when their family eats meat, the second room family is still gnawing on the nest, where do the poor clanging families have so much money?

But when Shen Jingqiu thought of Shen Xiangmiao's appearance of the new clothes on her body when she went to the ground, she felt that Xu's words were not all right: "Really? Mother Mo is not coaxing me. ”

"What did I lie to you? It is designated that Xiangmiao doesn't know how to coax your second aunt to make her a new dress, and she shows it in front of you, maybe she is embarrassed to shake it around, and she is embarrassed to shake it around, and she will go to the town to pull your body water lotus red, the color is bright, and it definitely looks better than her! Seeing that Shen Jingqiu was a little loose, Xu added another fire.

Shen Jingqiu is not deep-sighted, and when she heard Xu say this, she immediately burst into tears and laughed: "My mother still loves me." ”

"You're my daughter, I don't care who do you hurt?" Xu pulled Shen Jingqiu to sit down: "Hurry up and sit down to eat, the dishes are cold." ”

Only then did Shen Jingqiu sit down and take the bowl and chopsticks.

"The child is messing around, you are also used to her, didn't you say that you are going to show Wen Song the school, this bundle of cultivation is indispensable, where is there spare money to pull fabrics to make new clothes, the clothes on Jingqiu's body are very new, and they are neater than most of the girls in our village." Shen Futian suddenly opened his mouth.

Xu Shi glanced at him: "What do you know?" After the busy farming, the matchmaker should talk about her relatives when she is free, Jingqiu is dressed brightly, she can also find a good mother-in-law, and she can also make up for the text when she turns around, but she can't be like a spring flower, it is really the water spilled by the girl who got married, and she hasn't made up anything to her mother's house for a few years after she got married! ”

Shen Chunhua is the eldest daughter of Shen Futian and Xu, she got married three years ago, and now she has two daughters, and she doesn't come back often, let alone make up for it.

Xu was very angry because of this.

Shen Futian was silent when he heard this.

"Come on, hurry up and eat, after eating, call the people in the second and third rooms, talk about the busy wheat harvesting, let the two families help collect the wheat on the two acres of land of our family and my father, and don't care about the two of them first, you go to help the bolt family first, he is busy working to earn money, and the Gao family is left with a few children, and he can't do any work." Xu Shi advised.

The Xu family has always been partial to his mother's brothers, and it has always been like this for more than ten years, and Shen Futian is also accustomed to it, nodding "oh".

After eating, Shen Futian went to Shen Fuhai to discuss the wheat harvest.

Half an hour later, Shen Futian returned.

Xu flicked the wick of the oil lamp, and the room suddenly lit up.

"Are you sure, Ming'er or Hou'er will start cutting wheat?"

Shen Futian was silent.

"Why don't you talk to you, you don't say anything, I'm sure I'll talk to my daughter-in-law and go to their house to cut wheat."

Shen Futian raised his head at this time: "Let's start cutting early in the morning, our wheat is planted a little earlier, and it is ripened early, so it can't be delayed any longer." ”

At the end, he added: "It's just that the two of us are matched with Jingqiu to cut, cut it early and finish it early." ”

Xu was stunned: "What do you mean?" How did it come to be cut by our own family? The third family didn't come to help? ”

"No, the third child said that this year he was also busy cutting bamboo skewers and weaving cages to make money, and he didn't care about anything else, whose wheat was cut by himself."

"It's like it's not a family, and they don't care about the two acres of land that my father and mother have?"

"The third child said that the father and mother of two acres of land can't eat all the food in a year, and every family buys fifty dollars for the father and mother as pocket money, and they are often filial piety when they eat, and the surplus food is occupied by our big house, and it is appropriate to make more efforts...... Shen Futian said and lowered his head.

"Fart!" Xu's angry voice trembled: "What the third child said, is this called human talk?" I'm not afraid to go out and spit on the stars and drown! Daddy is not the father and mother of our big house, why should we work hard? ”

"The third child said that they also collected the wheat from their father's two acres of land, that is, the wheat they harvested back was put in their father's small yard, and they didn't join us."

As soon as he heard this, Xu's anger was immediately extinguished.

Indeed, each of the three families has to give the second elder fifty yuan every month, which is one hundred and fifty yuan a month, and nearly two taels of silver a year. Shen Shuntong and the Yang family are diligent and thrifty, and they can't spend much money on weekdays, and they all let the sweet-mouthed Shen Jingqiu and Shen Wensong coax a few big dollars to spend for pocket money.

On weekdays, the second room is not to mention, the family is poorer, and the filial piety of the New Year's festival eats, and the third room is also a filial piety, eggs and meat on weekdays, but where there is at home, they will send some to the old couple here, and the big house can naturally take advantage of it.

The two acres of land, the wheat harvested in the summer, the sticks harvested in the autumn, where can the old couple eat it, and many of them are also stored in the warehouse of the big house.

Living with the old couple is a lot of benefits.
