Farmhouse is so old

After Liu Gen was sent away, Zhou Dahua's family went back to the house.The three saw that the two siblings were dressed so well.They didn't dare to come forward to hug them, fearing that their clothes would be dirty, and Zhou Dahua even rubbed and rubbed the bench he usually sat on.

"My daughter is so beautiful." Zhang Xing saw that his daughter had been here for a month. Compared with the scrawny body before, Zhang Xing did not know how much better, and there was some blush on her face. The pale little face before was gone. He was very grateful to his wife. Come on brother.

"Mother, don't be so busy, I have something to tell you." Seeing that her mother was so busy again, Zhang Lan felt very uncomfortable as if she was afraid of getting herself dirty.

Zhou Dahua smiled and said: "What's the matter, just say what you want to say, mother is listening."

"That uncle taught me and my younger brother to read, and now I can recognize a hundred characters." As soon as Zhang Lan finished speaking, Zhang Xing rushed up and grabbed Zhang Lan, regardless of whether his hands were dirty or not, and asked anxiously: "real?"

"Really, if you don't believe me, I'll write it for you." Zhang Lan found a branch and wrote her name on the ground.Zhang Xing knew the character Zhang, and asked Zhang Lan to write his own name.He took out his waist card, yes, yes, it was exactly the same, Zhang Xing immediately squatted on the ground and began to cry.

His wish for so many years has finally come true. In the past, because he couldn't pay Shuxiu, no matter how many people he begged, it was useless.He was afraid that his son, like him, would spend his whole life doing coolies in addition to digging in the fields.But my son knows best in his heart that it is not good for him to be small and unable to do heavy work. Let him do coolies for two years and he will die.

Zhou Dahua knew very well that Zhang Xing was also crying happily, and even Mrs. Zhang burned incense and bowed to the memorial tablets in the main room to thank her ancestors for their blessings.

Only Zhang Lan and Zhang Dong were dumbfounded. Seeing their parents crying like tearful people, they began to cry too. The whole family cried heartily and relieved the turbidity in their hearts.

Zhang Xing only saw Zhang Lan writing, but didn't see Zhang Dong writing, so he asked Zhang Dong to write a few words too. Naturally, Zhang Dong had nothing to say, and wrote over and over again. Although Zhang Xing couldn't understand, he Seeing that his son could write so many words, he was so excited that he couldn't bear to erase the words on the ground in the middle of the room.Neither Mrs. Zhang nor Zhou Dahua dared to step on it, for fear of ruining her style.

Zhang Lan brought in the backpack she had brought back, and took out all the things from it. When she went, it was just a small bag, but when she came back, it was a big backpack.There are some clothes in the two cloth bundles, and it looks like a lot of bulging.There were a few large pieces of meat at the bottom, Zhang Lan couldn't move it, so Zhang Xing helped him lift it up and turned it upside down: "I'm afraid it must weigh fifty or sixty catties."

"Yes, Dad, the wild boar that uncle hunted up the mountain a few days ago, it seems that uncle doesn't like the smell of wild boar and gave it to us," Zhang Lan explained.

Just as Zhang Xing wanted to refute, he stopped and said, "That's right, your uncle was born rich and powerful, how could he like the smell of wild boar? Well, when you go back, give your uncle the old hen that has been raised for eight years. go"

No one in the room refuted this statement. It is already a great kindness from Tang Qing to teach the two brothers and sisters how to read, but two old hens are really nothing. It is said that the family is poor and there is nothing to offer. It's a decent thing, but these two old hens are so precious that they are not even willing to kill Mrs. Zhang when she is sick.

Zhang Lan opened the cloth bag again, took out a few medicine bags and said, "Mom, this is the medicine I begged for you. Grandma is much better after taking this medicine. This medicine bag, grandma, is yours. Daddy, your back hurts. I begged Uncle Jun to make some plasters, and once you stick them every day, the pain will go away."

"My good girl" Zhang Xing saw that his daughter was so well-behaved and sensible, his heart burst into tears, and he couldn't help the red circles under his eyes.

"Father still has my credit." Zhang Dong saw that his father only had his sister in his eyes, and said unconvinced. Zhang Xing picked up his son again and said, "My good son." After hearing this, Zhang Dong felt relieved. Happy.

"Mother, these are clothes made of cloth given by my uncle, you can feel that they are cotton." Zhang Lan picked up a few more clothes and said.At Tang Qing's house, she and her younger brother got a total of eight pieces of clothing, four for each of them, all made of cotton.Zhou Dahua didn't dare to touch it for fear that her rough hands would damage it.

Zhang Lan grabbed her hand and forced her to touch it, "It's all good material." In fact, it's not considered good cotton, but it's the worst cotton. Good cotton cloth is too expensive, and even Tang Qing can't afford it. many.But for farmers who wear coarse linen all year round and can't even afford fine linen, this is the best.

"I think my uncle doesn't want the leftovers, so I used them to make some inner clothes. As she spoke, Zhang Lan took out a stack of small clothes from her clothes. The pink and blue ones were for her mother and grandma, and the gray ones were for her. Bai is to be her own father. "Mother, my daughter is not filial, so I can't make cotton clothes for you, so I can only use these leftover materials to make you some inner clothes." Zhang Lan said yes, and she couldn't help crying quietly. She dressed so well, Parents are dressed in rough linen clothes. How does it feel to her heart.

"Hey, why are you crying, my good daughter, it's hard for you to think about us, mother, as long as you live a good life, I will be satisfied." Seeing her daughter crying, Zhou Dahua felt distressed, and wiped Zhang Lan's face with her rough hands. tears.

"Girl Lan, don't cry, come and eat some candy." Seeing Zhang Lan crying, Mrs. Zhang took out a candy from her bosom and fed it to Zhang Lan's mouth. One pump and one pump.She was afraid that when she opened her mouth and cried, the candy would fall to the ground, what a pity.

The whole family cried and laughed again today.In the evening Zhang Xing was very happy and took out one hundred Wen to buy two jars of wine, how could he be willing to do it on weekdays.Zhou Dahua also cut two catties of wild boar and made some side dishes.The rest are hung on the stove and smoked, waiting to be used when visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year or grinding teeth on weekdays.

Looking at the food on the table, although it is not as good as at my uncle's house, the two siblings are eating very happily. Even eating bran swallowed vegetables at my own home is also happy, which is different from the feeling at my uncle's place.They also kept their uncle's kindness in their hearts, as long as there was a chance to repay, they would not hesitate to cut them into pieces.

And the rest of the families also have constant turmoil in their hearts, especially Zhou Su's family. You must know that Zhou Su's grandfather, Zhou Dagui, and Zhou Dafu did not get along with each other when they were young. What a taste.

"Sister, look what I brought you." Zhou Su didn't know the shock in his grandfather's heart, so he said happily to his sister Zhou Qing.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Qing was sitting on the edge of the bed and was embroidering clothes. When she saw her sister running in with a smile, she felt better.

Zhou Su took out a pomegranate red dress and said to Zhou Qing: "Sister, look at what I made for you. How about wearing this on the day you get married?"

Zhou Qing is going to get married next year, so it is not suitable for her to go to Tang Qing's house.Seeing her younger sister take out this pomegranate red dress, Zhou Qing couldn't help being a little surprised and said, "Where did it come from?"

"It's all given by Uncle San. He asked me what color clothes I like, so I chose this color." The red color is too difficult to come by, and it's expensive, so she didn't dare to ask for it. Fortunately, this pomegranate red is also Red, but not as bright red, it is absolutely qualified as a wedding dress.

Zhou Qing smiled softly and said, "Since it's yours, you can wear it yourself." Zhou Qing doesn't envy her younger sister's things, she has her own fate.

But Zhou Su refused: "Sister, just keep it. I made it according to your size, and my clothes are a bit too big." She finally made it for her sister, how could all her previous efforts go to waste.

"It's okay, I can keep it for you to wear when you grow up." Zhou Qing didn't follow her, so she could only preach to her little sister gently and considerately.

"Sister, I really made it for you. You look so beautiful when you get married. Don't worry, I still have three here. I won't lose myself. Sister Lan and I even made some underwear with some leftover materials. I I also made some for you, see if it fits well." Zhou Su said naggingly to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing just smiled and said nothing, watching her sister chatter non-stop.

"Okay, okay, sister, you can try it on." Zhou Su pulled Zhou Qing to try on clothes, but Zhou Qing couldn't win her sister, so she had to change clothes.

Seeing Zhou Qing's gentle appearance, Zhou Su suddenly felt that her sister was as beautiful as a fairy.Can't help but say: "Sister, you really look good in this outfit. It's much better than rough linen clothes, really"

"Silly sister, how can this sackcloth compare with cotton clothes?" Zhou Qing smiled gently, thinking that my sister was so stupid for saying this.

"Hehehe" Zhou Su also felt that he was so stupid and laughed dryly.

"Ha, sister, I still have a piece of pomegranate red cloth here. You can cut it into a hijab. It is embroidered with mandarin ducks. At that time, all the aunts and sisters in the village are envious of you." Zhou Su smirked. , and started nagging again, completely gone from being submissive at Tang Qing's house.

Zhou Ming, who was outside, saw that his cousin was so kind to his daughter, and he also had mixed feelings in his heart. When he was a child, he didn't like his brother, and Zhou Qing's nose was not his nose, and his eyes were not his eyes.To be honest, he sent Su'er there because he wanted to give Tang Qing a tael of silver, thinking that he could earn some money.As for Su'er, she deserved to suffer a bit. When she went there, she urged Zhou Su to do a good job.

I didn't expect to raise his daughter so well in just one month. It looked like she hadn't been treated badly. She was wearing high-quality cotton clothes and brought so much meat when she came back. She saved enough to eat for a year. It's much more than that one tael of silver.

Sure enough, this kind of favor has to come from others, Zhou Ming couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Zhou Qing when he thought of this, and felt a little more guilty towards him in his heart. He is diligent and diligent, and I don't understand why I didn't like him when I was a child.
