After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

The morning sun is rising, and the soft sunshine shines on the fields and paths, creating a warm feeling.

There are several small roads leading out of the village, but there is only one main road that can be opened to traffic.

Along the way I met several groups of people from Shanshui Village.

Those with slightly better conditions push a wheelbarrow and put the grain to be sold on one side and other odds and ends on the other;

Those who are in poor condition but have strength are one carrying pole and two baskets filled with grain;

Those who were weak and lacked strength would put grain in their backpacks and put chicken and duck eggs on top of them that they had saved up and were reluctant to eat.

Aunt Zhang and her eldest son are the latter two.

Shui Qing watched Aunt Zhang struggling to carry the bamboo basket and said hello: "Aunt Zhang, why don't you put the basket in the car and give it to you when we get to the market?"

"No, no! The journey is not far, I can carry it easily." Aunt Zhang said with a warm smile.

Shui Qing saw that the whole family was returning to her parents' home. There were seven people sitting on the bullock cart, as well as two bags of grain and cloth. She had no nerve to put her own things on it.

Moreover, the heavier the food on her back, the more at ease she felt and the happier she felt.

Zhang Jinniu carried two baskets full of rice on his back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, smiled brightly at the refreshing water and said, "My grandma is very happy.

Originally, it was enough to let the silver ox carry the food, but my mother-in-law said that there were many things to buy, so she came here because she was worried. "

Aunt Zhang was not polite to her son at all, and hummed: "We don't have much salt at home, and we don't have lamp oil, so we have to buy more.

Recently, you brothers and sisters have not been working day and night. My mother-in-law feels sorry for you and wants to buy some food with oil and water.

Those who are heartless would not have come if I had known better! "

In the past, her family would not buy lamp oil, so they would wash themselves by moonlight when it was too late. Now, in order to be able to peel chicken heads and rice at night, it was more cost-effective to buy lamp oil.

Salt is a must to eat. Only when you eat it can you have the strength to work. You can't live without it. It's just a good time to take advantage of the abundant rice now to put more salt in the house. The salt won't go bad anyway.

I don’t know what it will be like next year.

Zhang Jinniu only heard "food with oil and water" in his ears. He swallowed his saliva and asked excitedly: "Mom, do you want to buy pork?"

God, how long has it been since he had fat pork? Especially after dad lost all his land and ran up debts, he never even saw oil flowers.

Aunt Zhang couldn't bear to hurt her eldest son, who had suffered for many years, but she didn't dare to let him have high expectations. She suppressed and said: "Don't be too happy. Our family can't afford fat pork, so we can only buy some pork legs." of lean meat, and a big bone to make soup.”

"Enough, enough! Just eat what you can, lean meat and big bones are already good!" Zhang Jin Newton felt that his whole body was stronger and the burden on his shoulders was not so heavy.

The thought of being able to eat meat and drink bone soup made him feel happy.

Yan Qiuxing replied that several people could understand Brother Taurus' joy. Even if they ate meat several times after they separated, they were still extremely happy every time they ate meat.

Shui Qing is happy for the Taurus family.

Turning around, I heard Aunt Zhang brainwashing Taurus: "You must remember the kindness of your second brother, second sister-in-law, and family!

Without them, you and your brothers and sisters would have to skip eating not only meat and bone soup, but also black batter.

Just because your second brother and sister-in-law took our family with them, we can eat black-faced steamed buns in just a few days. Tell me, are they the great benefactors of our family? "

Shui Qing's face turned red. She was really not that great, nor was she selfless.

Zhang Jinniu laughed and said, instead of refuting, he deeply agreed: "Aniang is right! Don't worry, in our hearts, besides you, Aniang, the second brother and the second sister-in-law are the people we are closest to!

No matter what happens in the future, we will definitely protect the second brother, second sister-in-law and their family! Otherwise, there will be five thunderbolts from the sky! "

Shui Qing believed that he was not thin-skinned, but at this moment, he was still very embarrassed to be solemnly expressed his loyalty, so he quickly stopped him: "Bye bye."

Aunt Zhang did not wait for Shui Qing to say too many words of rejection, and directly said to Fan Jin who was driving the car: "Jin Niu and I are slow, and we have to take a rest from time to time. You guys go first."

Fan Jin glanced at Shui Qing, who was blushing, and apologized to Aunt Zhang: "Okay, Aunt Zhang, we have to go to my father-in-law's house, so we have to leave first."

Lifting the reins, the cow walked forward quickly, gradually leaving the walkers behind little by little.

Shui Qing was lamenting the sincerity of Aunt Zhang's family, and the ox cart had entered Niutou Town.

There are houses next to each other on both sides of the road, messy and crowded. There are small stalls set up in front of each house, but most of them are empty at this time.

"My father-in-law must have gone to the market at this time." After Fan Jin finished speaking, he parked the bullock cart in front of a house.

The wooden door is not very thick, but wider than the ones on the left and right.

Fan Jiang was the first to jump off the bullock cart, ran forward and knocked on the door, shouting: "Grandma, uncle, open the door, we are here."

Only then did Shui Qing realize that this was the right place.

She looked at her 'parent's house'. Butcher Hu had brought people to help build the house and brought a large cart of things over. The two of them were strong and strong, so she thought the conditions were pretty good.

But now looking at this small and simple house, I understand that they are only willing to give up their daughter. In fact, the family conditions are not that good.

The sound of footsteps soon came from the other side of the door, and the thin door panel was opened. When she saw the people outside the house, Hu's eyes became wet.

She held Fan Jiang's hand and walked towards Shuiqing, saying reluctantly: "You're back? You're back."

Then he remembered something and hurriedly turned to Fan Jin and said, "Brother, please go in and have tea."

Then he looked at Yan Qiuxing's children and couldn't help but look at them and praised them: "They are growing better than before. I didn't believe it when your grandfather came back and said it, but now I do."

Fan Jin drove the bullock cart into the yard, unloaded the cart, and moved the things on it into the house. He also found bamboo baskets and sickles to cut the grass and feed the cows.

The children walked in lively, but Shui Qing stayed at the end waiting for Hu's mother.

Hu's mother was asking her neighbor next door to go to the butcher's shop in the market to inform the owner and her son, telling them to bring back some fat meat.

After saying that, she turned around and saw Shui Qing waiting for her. The smile on her face couldn't be concealed. She stepped forward and said, "It's hard to go home. Hurry up and rest in the house. Mom will prepare something delicious for you." .”

"Grandma, we brought delicious food." Xing Hui felt more at home at his grandmother's house than at Fan's house and talked more.

Mother Hu looked at Shui Qing with disapproval and reproach: "Last time your father brought back two kilograms of brown sugar, I gave him a lot of scolding.

You have just separated and you are short of everything. It would be great if you keep it to replenish your child's health. What should you do with it? Even if you have to take it with you, just spread it out evenly. How much can I eat by myself? Isn’t it a waste to have too much? You can take it back later. "

Shui Qing heard the words of blame in her ears, but her heart felt warm.

She took two steps forward, held Hu's mother in her arm and whispered: "Mom, don't worry, drink up. I'll tell you secretly that the polygonum multiflorum on the mountain after our separation is worth a lot of money, so don't worry about us."

This is the reason for making an agreement with Fan Jin, otherwise my parents might not be able to accept the rice, noodles, and fabrics I brought.

Mother Hu was surprised at first, and then happy. She couldn't hide her happiness for them and asked, "Really? That's great."
