Quickly wear the salted fish and don’t lie flat

Sang Ye really didn't lie to Grandpa Old Lang. She really met a strange old Taoist when she was a child, and the old Taoist really gave her a book, but the book was just an ordinary travelogue.

Now, the prescription in her hand cannot appear out of thin air. She can only find a source. The most reasonable explanation is the book that the old Tao gave her.

The book was in tatters. Her mother only glanced at it and paid no attention to it because she was illiterate and couldn't understand it.

The family only heard her mother mention it once. She only mentioned that she was almost overwhelmed by the crowd. They never mentioned that she met an old Taoist and got a broken book. Maybe in her heart, this matter is not important. .

Later, she begged her grandma to find a literate nanny. She learned calligraphy from her for three years, and she knew the contents of the book clearly.

Sang Ye's eyes flashed and he whispered: "Later, I learned the calligraphy from my grandma, so I took out the book and read it. I was too young at the time, so I knew the characters better, but I really didn't understand the content. I was just reading it. , Xinxin asked me to go out to play, so I put the book on the table next to the window and went out to play."

Sang Ye took a peek at Grandpa Lang's increasingly darker face, swallowed, and continued: "Unfortunately, it rained that day, and it rained hard and hard. When my mother closed the window in my room, The book...has been soaked."

"The book was already in tatters and was exposed to rain. Later, my mother and I roasted the book on the fire. When the weather was fine, we took it out to dry in the sun. The book was saved, but the The words were all mushy, and later, after I had left the book for a long time, and I didn’t know how to take care of it, when I took it out again and looked at it, it fell into pieces and I couldn’t even put it together.”

This thing really happened. She was really not afraid of being checked. At that time, her mother looked at the tattered book that was blurred and was in a state of confusion. She felt pity for a long time. You know, even a tattered book is very precious and ordinary. In ordinary people's homes, there are really very few people who can afford to buy books.

The old wolf's face was so dark that he couldn't even look at it. He took a deep breath and asked again: "The recipe for this soap is in that book?"

Sang Ye nodded and shook his head.

"I only roughly memorized some of the content, and the book was also missing pages and words. I spent a long time thinking about this recipe before I pieced it together. I wasn't sure I could make it in one go, but I didn't expect it to be made by mistake. It worked."

The old wolf simply didn’t know what to say?

I have this opportunity, but...

Hey!

"Don't mention this to anyone else. I will have a detailed discussion with your grandparents later to see how to proceed."

Sang Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed this test!

The highest state of lying is to lie and lie, and now, no matter what method she comes up with, it won't look out of place.

With Grandpa Lang's guarantee, she only needs to get cheaper pig soap soap, and she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

When he got home from work, Sang Ye first put the ten pieces of lard soap back in the room. Grandpa Old Wolf had told him to keep these things secret before discussing them with his grandparents.

Sang Ye found Sang's mother who was settling accounts, sat down next to her, took the account book, looked at the bars on it, felt a little dizzy, and put it back.

To be honest, when she grew up, she never understood the accounts kept by her mother.

Seeing that her mother kept frowning, Sang Ye took another look, but still didn't understand.

Just ask directly: "Mom, but the money at home is not enough?"

Sang's mother put the account books away and sighed: "The family is going to have more people, and this house will soon become uninhabitable. Mother thought about clearing out the east and west backyards and tearing down the walls of the backyard. Build three small courtyards and open a small door in the back street, and each of your three brothers will have one."

"We are now married and have children, so they can live apart. Even if they want to start a new business on their own, that's what they do. If they don't live together, there won't be so many trivial things. Mom and your grandma can relax more easily."

Sang Ye agreed with her mother's idea. When there are more people, conflicts will easily arise. If they live together, the relationship will be better.

The yard of her family also occupies a large area. In the west yard where they live, the front yard is about [-]% of the land. The back yard is even larger. A wall is built to separate the front and back yards. There is a small door left, which is opened by the grandparents. It became a vegetable plot, and at the end, there was a circle of land for raising chickens and ducks.

The front yard of the east courtyard is not that big, only about a quarter of the land, and covers two rows of front and back, with a total of eight rooms.

The terrain of the entire east courtyard is vertical and long, and the backyard must have five or six points of land. If the front and back yards are separated, and the middle wall of the backyard is knocked down, it will be more than enough to build three small courtyards.

In their eight-hutong street, every household has a large homestead area. However, the other households all live together as a family. They built additional houses in the early years, so there is still vacant space.

Nowadays, the people living in the back streets are juniors who got married in the eight alleys.

Sang's mother said quietly: "Building a house costs money, your brothers also need money to get married, and you, it's time to get married. Mom has to save a dowry for you. After all, my capital is almost gone."

Sang Ye hugged her arm and comforted her: "Mom, don't worry about money. If your daughter earns money later, she will give it to her mother."

Sang's mother scratched her little nose and said dotingly: "Mom, I don't want your money. A daughter's family must always have money in her hand. This money! It is a woman's confidence. With money, she doesn't have to worry about money." My husband's family has been kept low and small, and they have suffered a lot of injustice."

Sang Ye said slyly: "Then...when my daughter saves enough money, how about buying a yard and recruiting a bride?"

Sang's mother slapped her on the forehead, and her face changed instantly: "What are you thinking about in your head all day long? You have three brothers! What kind of wife do you want?"

Sang Ye said aggrievedly: "Then just watch your daughter marry someone else and suffer all kinds of hardships!"

Mother Sang: My hands are itchy and I want to beat the child!

Sang's mother's hand tightened and tightened, then she put it down again. She gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Do you think your three brothers are just showboats? Your mother and I are not easy to mess with. If they dare to rub you, look at me. If you don’t destroy their family, you will peel off their skin!”

Only then did Sang Ye smile brightly and said coquettishly: "I know that my mother loves me the most, and I definitely can't bear to see my daughter being wronged."

As he said that, he took his mother's arm and asked, "What do you think of my daughter buying her own yard and setting up a female household?"

Sang's mother pushed her away, glanced sideways at her, stood up and walked to the cabinet, saying: "No! Who has set up a female household since ancient times? They were all abandoned by the husband's family. If the mother's family doesn't want it, there is no way to survive. Women, and even families with no household income, how can you, a girl who has not yet been married, set up a female household? The villagers in the ten miles and eight villages must laugh their heads off!"

Sang Ye wanted to struggle again.

"mother........."

Before she could speak again, Mother Sang handed her two ready-made clothes and urged: "This Xinggu gauze has been finished. You can take it back to your room and try it out tonight. If anything doesn't suit you, please put it on me." Change it.”

Sang Ye suppressed the words that came to her lips, and at the urging of her mother, she took the clothes and went back to her room.

Behind her, Mother Sang breathed a sigh of relief and muttered when she saw her daughter being driven away: "This girl has seen the world, and she still wants to recruit a daughter-in-law and set up a female household! If the female household is so easy to set up, Wu Ya will not be hung up. It’s at the city gate!”
