Seeing that the matter was over, Chen Nan also left, but when he passed by Chen Xingzhou, he patted him on the shoulder, "Boy, what a man wants is to be able to bend and stretch. He's a good guy. He's worthy of being my good son."

Chen Xingzhou said, "Thank you dad for the compliment." But he was contemptuous in his heart, an old alcoholic, who did a lot of immoral things in exchange for drinking money, sober, and he is weird.

"However, Xingzhou, you see that Dad has no money to drink recently, can you see if you can?" Chen Nan rubbed his hands at Chen Xingzhou, meaning if he could give him some money.

Chen Xingzhou showed a distressed look, "Father, I'm only ten taels." The implication was that he had no money, and he retracted his previous thoughts. Even if he was sober, he would not be like a dog.

Chen Nan wanted to say something, but Liu Cui, who had been silent all this time, coughed a few times, and Chen Nan went out with a smile.

Only Chen Xingzhou and Liu Cui were left in the room.

"Xingzhou is a mother's incompetence. I can't be the master for you. I really wronged you. You didn't return all night yesterday, but you are worried that you will die as a mother." Liu Cui kept stroking Chen Xingzhou's head while speaking. , a face of kindness, when will such a day be a head?But it's hard for her to sail.

"I went to the mountain to stay all night. If I came back yesterday, I would have been executed on the spot." Only the original owner's mother really felt sorry for the original owner, and only she would care about where he did not return last night.

"It's all mother's incompetence." Liu Cui's tone was full of guilt.

"How can I blame my mother? My elder brother and sister-in-law are also doing it for my own good." Cursing people can only be cursing in their hearts, and they must not be addicted to their mouths. If the couple hears this, the remaining 20 taels of silver will be emptied.

Liu Cui also stopped talking and kept wiping away tears. Chen Xingzhou looked at the dying old man in front of him and thought of his own mother. He gently patted his mother on the back, "Mother, I'm fine. Don't cry, you don't need to cry." worry about me."

"It's fine, it's fine, you've grown up, it's time to marry a wife." Liu Cui stroked Chen Xingzhou's head, his face was full of love.

Chen Xingzhou has turned eighteen, and he was considered an older youth in ancient times, but Chen Xingzhou doesn't like women, so he can't do things that are sorry for others.

"Mother, it's still early. Besides, I'm weak and have no money. Which family's daughter would be willing to marry me? There's no rush for this kind of thing." Otherwise, he would be eighteen, and no matchmaker would ever come to him and tell him Dear, it's not because he has no money, he is still a weak chicken.

Liu Cui's eyes darkened, "It's all because of my mother's incompetence."

"It's my son's incompetence, how can I blame my mother? Mother, don't think too much." Chen Xingzhou comforted Liu Cui, and the two chattered a lot.

In the open-air small kitchen, Zhu Lianhua and Chen Xingmu were cooking, and Chen Nan had already gone back to his room to sleep, and he and his wife were the only two in the yard.

"Lianhua, tell me, why do boats have so much money?" That's ten taels, enough for their family's expenses for a year, yet Chen Xingzhou took it out so casually.

Zhu Lianhua said in a bad tone, "How would I know?" She was still thinking about what happened just now, if it wasn't for the blocking of the tree, she would have killed the sick young man today, the uneasy thing dared to threaten her, and even dared to point at her with a wooden stick. Looking at her, he became more and more courageous. It seemed that he was too presumptuous with him on weekdays.

"Lotus, you see that you are just a woman's opinion. From my point of view, the boy in the boat not only only has those ten taels, but don't be angry, you are fine, and we got ten taels of silver for nothing. How do you think about it? Not bad."

Zhu Lianhua was told by Chen Xingmu, and after thinking about it carefully, Xingmu was right, she had nothing to do, and she got ten taels of silver for nothing, which was a blessing in disguise.

"You just said that that trash might still have money?" People don't have trouble with money.

"There must be. Based on what I know about him, if the ten taels are all his belongings, he will definitely not give them all. He is very good at sailing, and there must be someone behind him who has leftover money."

After listening to the analysis, Zhu Lianhua felt that it made sense, "Where do you think he would put the money?"

Chen Xingmu thought for a while, "People always put important things close to their bodies, and boating is no exception."

"If that's the case, shall we go to explore at night?" Zhu Lianhua asked Chen Xingmu. Five years later, Chen Xingmu was more mature than when he first got married, but he was getting fatter and his family was getting more and more struggling. She doesn't have decent clothes at all, if she doesn't like to walk tight, she might have run away early.

Chen Xingmu was short of money. He lost a lot of money from gambling. The ten taels was nothing but a drop in the bucket. He was chased by creditors for money every day. All the monthly money he spent working in the town was used to pay off his gambling debts, so the rest of Chen Xingzhou's money, he It is imperative.

"Go at midnight." Chen Xingzhou must have fallen asleep at that time.

"it is good."

The two made up their minds, quickly prepared the meal, and greeted the remaining three to eat.

At the dinner table, several people were harboring ulterior motives, and Liu Cui kept adding food to Chen Xingzhou, telling him to eat more.

Chen Xingzhou ate some rough corn cakes, and kept complaining in his heart, he was too poor, he couldn't even eat steamed buns, and the improved meal he said was a little bit of minced meat fried potato chips. It's really mediocre, it's a million miles worse than yesterday's rabbit meat, and I have to eat this meal every day from now on, when will I be able to eat it to be strong?Tomorrow he will go to the field to pull out potato seedlings. He wants to eat steamed buns, he wants to eat rice, and he wants to eat meat in big mouthfuls.

Chen Xingzhou didn't go out in the afternoon, he was catching up on sleep in his room. After tossing around all morning, he was really tired and flustered. Fortunately, his ten taels of silver helped, and Zhu Lianhua didn't let him go to work in the fields.

When I woke up, it was already dark and the surroundings were very quiet. I slept for too long and didn’t even eat dinner, but he didn’t really want to eat it. As a modern person, how could he eat corn tortillas all at once? ?

At midnight, Zhu Lianhua and Chen Xingmu sneaked out of the room and came to Chen Xingzhou's door.

Zhu Lianhua opened the door lightly. The moon is big and round today, just in time for the sixteenth and fifteenth moons.
