Dressed as the uncle of farming culture
Chapter 171
"A waver...a waver...a wave..."
Xiao Le, who took the first step, walked on the country road with a half box of sweet potatoes in one hand and a small torch in the other, singing a little song.
When he got home, the courtyard door was ajar, and the main room was lit with oil lamps.
The door of the main room is open, and the people inside can be seen at a glance.
Xiao's mother glanced at the sweet potato he was carrying, and pulled her lips, "Hehe, it's worth it to me to see you picking things up at home before I die."
Putting out the small torch that was more than half burned and putting it away, Xiao Le carried the sweet potato into the main room, and Yang Xiuxiu was making shoes in the corner.
"Mom, Brother Zhang returned it. They have food at home. I ate there at noon today, and also at night. He also gave this bamboo chair."
Xiao Le pointed to the bamboo chair in the corner.
The more Xiao's mother listened, the more ugly her face became, "So, you think he is a good person, and he will try his best to take care of his family in the future?"
"That won't be the case," Xiao Le stepped forward flatteringly, and rubbed Mama Xiao's shoulders very lightly, "I figured it out, his family has food, and they wanted to borrow it from me, and it must have been like this before, Dad Said to be a good person and do good things, but they lied to me, they did wrong before that, and I have to get those things back."
"Take it back," Xiao's mother sneered, "I ate it all and dragged it to the latrine. What did you bring back? Besides, did they borrow it? They asked you to give it to them! In this production team, who doesn't Do you know that you, Xiao Le, are a good person? Do you dare to take it?"
"Take your time," Xiao Le scratched his head and looked at Yang Xiuxiu, "Sister-in-law, Lao Guang Liu paid me back one yuan today, and I will give it to you to subsidize the family."
As he spoke, he took out a crumpled one dollar bill from his pocket.
Yang Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, Xiao Ma immediately said, "What are you doing in a daze? Take it!"
No matter how they came back, anyway, if they entered their house, they could not be sent out by Xiao Le again!
"Mom, it's getting late, why don't you go back to bed?"
Xiao Le said softly.
"After death, I will sleep forever. You care what I do."
Xiao's mother mercilessly rejected the care he sent to her.
Xiao Le touched his nose, "Then I'll wash up and go to sleep."
"It's not easy for your sister-in-law to carry water, save water," Xiao's mother gave him a sideways look.
"...Okay, okay, mom, sister-in-law, then I'll go."
After Xiao Le left the main room, Yang Xiuxiu quickly came to Xiao's mother, "Mom, are you a bit cold to my uncle?"
"I don't know if this thing is not cold!" Mother Xiao gritted her teeth, "I'll give him another chance. If he changes this time, I will still recognize him as my son. If he doesn't change it, I will make the decision when Xiao Mo comes back next time." Divide up the family!"
"mom!"
Yang Xiuxiu was taken aback.
After all, parents are not separated.
Moreover, Xiao Le was assigned alone, and he didn't even have his own land. He could only live on his work points, and with his uncle's temper... he was afraid he would starve to death.
"Listen to me," Xiao's mother was very sober, she took Yang Xiuxiu's hand, "and Shufen, when you go to the market tomorrow, send a message to the person at her uncle's side, let her live again Come back some days, be diligent and don't be annoying."
"Eh."
Yang Xiuxiu nodded repeatedly.
After Xiao Le tidied himself up, he went to bed.
The original main room had only one bed.
Xiao's mother knew his temperament, so apart from the bed, she didn't even make a cabinet for him, fearing that he would send it out when he was happy.
Xiao Le ripped off everything on the bed and slept on the wooden plank. He got up before dawn.
He threw away the hay on the bed, took the bedding and so on to the river and washed them clean, then took them back to the yard to dry, then took the pole, picked up the bucket and went out.
Not long after he left, Mother Xiao stood at the entrance of the main room, leaning on the wall.
I don't know how long she looked at it, but she let out a long sigh and went back.
Yang Xiuxiu had already set off when Xiao Le went out to wash the bedding.
She has to go early and come back early, and she can still do some work in the afternoon.
The water tank was full, Xiao Le steamed Mama Xiao's porridge, watched her eat it, and after washing the dishes, he was ready to go out.
"You don't eat?"
Seeing that he was about to go out, Xiao's mother couldn't help asking.
"I'm going to eat at Brother Zhang's."
Xiao Le smiled.
Xiao's mother grumbled expressionlessly, complaining in her heart: It's not too bad to eat shit.
This family is not active in work, but Xiao Le likes the rule of serving meals on time every day.
He walked on the road swaggeringly with a hoe on his shoulder. It was neither too early nor too late. On the road, he met some people who came back from fetching water, and he also met some people who had just returned from looking for vegetables in their private plot.
Xiao Le greeted each other one after another, with a smile on his face, which made everyone feel good in the morning.
"Good morning, second brother."
"Morning, it's still early to start work, where are you going?"
"I went to Zhang Ge's house for dinner. He was very enthusiastic and insisted on letting me go there early this morning. Oh, it's really not thanks to me helping their family so much in the past. Zhang Ge is really a man of love."
As soon as Dad Zhang opened the courtyard door, he heard two people standing in front of the house, and Xiao Le who was praising him with excitement.
"Ouch, brother, you came to pick me up right after I came here? Really, the second brother, I went in. Is the food ready? I'll eat right away, and I have to go to work."
As Xiao Le said, he walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Father Zhang was pushed away with his stiff body.
The second elder brother looked at him with some confusion and said, "I misunderstood you before, and you are not such a ungrateful person."
Dad Zhang: ...
"Why is he here!"
Zhang's mother, who was just about to start dinner, saw Xiao Le who put down her hoe and was sitting at their dinner table without any hesitation, pinched Zhang's father and said.
Father Zhang wiped his face, "Did I ask him to come over for breakfast yesterday?"
"No way," Zhang Ma frowned, and turned her head to let Zhang Chenghong put away the sweet potatoes and fried vegetables, "The autumn wind has come to us, don't forget, he gave you a straw paper yesterday! You still have the face to eat today ,I bother!"
Zhang Chengqing hung his head and said nothing, and followed Zhang Chenghong to put away his things.
"That's right, I haven't settled with him for what happened yesterday!"
Zhang's father was very angry, and came to the main room with a menacing expression on his face. He was about to question Xiao Le when he heard Xiao Le say, "Brother Zhang, what about the five yuan you lent me last year and the ten yuan you lent me this year?" When will it be returned?"
"In the past two years, your family has lent me a total of five catties of meat, twenty catties of white flour, forty catties of cornmeal, fifty catties of miscellaneous grains, one hundred catties of sweet potatoes, fifty eggs, and a chicken."
"..."
Father Zhang stood there in embarrassment.
Zhang's mother, who was eavesdropping outside, looked at her children in surprise, "Did we borrow so many things?"
Brother and sister Zhang Chenghong were also shocked.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Le just kept looking at him.
Father Zhang's mind was in a mess. Seeing Xiao Le frowning and touching his stomach, he immediately said loudly, "Let's eat first! You haven't eaten yet? Just eat here! Chenghong's mother quickly prepares dinner!"
As she said that, she was still walking outside. Mama Zhang stomped her feet, and he came to the kitchen, "Didn't you drive him away? Why did you leave food!"
"Can you do it without leaving food? Can you return so many things now?! Get the people away first, and let's not open the door next time!"
Father Zhang is also very irritable.
So Xiao Le ate very full at Zhang's house, and took the last few steamed sweet potatoes when he left, "I'll eat it at noon, hey, you have borrowed all the rice and food money in this house, so I can't get some sweet potatoes Do you mind?"
"...I don't mind, but Xiao Le, our life is also difficult," Zhang Ma said with tears, "Look at our family becoming famous..."
"You're pretty fat, and you're well-raised," Xiao Le answered with a smile, "Oh, especially Chenghong, you're a big girl, you can discuss marriage next year, my uncle's..."
"It's getting late, you'd better go to work, you can take all these sweet potatoes," Zhang Chenghong was startled, for fear that he would introduce himself to his cousins for doing something good.
"Good boy," Xiao Le walked away with a smile.
The family slumped on the stools as if they had been in a battle.
"Why do I feel that there is something wrong with Duantou today?"
"Yeah, before we complained and cried about being poor, he cried with us, and he sent things over when he turned around."
"...Maybe it's because I have borrowed too much in the past two years." Zhang Chengqing blushed a little, "I don't think it's too much. Why did he make such a calculation and borrow so much?"
"Did we borrow it?"
"Isn't that from him?"
"Yes, yes, he sent it, he sent it..."
Xiao Le is very popular, it doesn't matter whether it is because he wants to take advantage of him, or he thinks he is a good person, anyway, when he is at work, there are quite a few people who talk to Xiao Le to brag about him.
Xiao Le came to Zhang's house again at noon.
The door of Zhang's courtyard was tightly closed, as if it was an empty house inside.
Xiao Le knocked loudly.
Passers-by saw this and asked a few words.
The Zhang family inside was worried.
Then I heard Xiao Le crying, "Brother Zhang said he asked me to come over for lunch today, why isn't the door open at this hour?"
Dad Zhang was so angry that his heart ached. When did he say to let Xiao Le come over for lunch? !
"I've helped them a lot in the past two years. You all know, right? Last year, Brother Zhang said that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time. The children in the family were very greedy, especially Chenghong's child, who loves meat. He secretly came to me crying with the child, so I cut off more than half of the meat my brother bought and gave it to him..."
The Zhang family was shocked when they heard this.
"Dad! Hurry up and pull him in! How can I get married if I lose my life!"
Zhang Chenghong cried anxiously.
"Mom! I'm too old, you can't make me unable to marry a daughter-in-law!"
The food is not very good these days, the two brothers and sisters look small, but in fact one has grown up and the other is about to grow up.
"Ouch! I was busy in the kitchen just now, and I didn't hear you knocking on the door. Come in quickly, brother! The food is ready!"
Mama Zhang immediately went to open the courtyard door, good guy, Xiao Le was standing at the front, and there were dozens of people listening in front of him!
Even the thick-skinned Zhang's mother blushed at this moment, "His father invites his second uncle in for dinner!"
Only then did Zhang's father come to his senses, and hurried forward, pulling Xiao Le into the courtyard, while Zhang's mother hurriedly closed the courtyard door behind him.
Just when they were angrily glaring at Xiao Le, Xiao Le suddenly yelled out of the courtyard door, "Brother Zhang, Sister Zhang, I'm telling the truth! You don't want to close the courtyard door and beat me, do you?!"
oh my god.
"My dear second uncle, please sit down and eat." Zhang Chengqing pulled him into the main room, and Zhang Chenghong brought out the food in front of him.
Xiao Le ate with a smile, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were very angry, but they didn't want Xiao Le to eat all of it, so the family sat down angrily and rushed to eat.
Xiao Le directly poured the food into his own bowl, and then said slowly, "When did you return the things I mentioned, and when did I not eat them with you, of course, you don't have to return them."
"Can you pay it back?"
Mama Zhang's eyes lit up.
Xiao Le nodded, pointed to the roof, "I want your house."
"Dream! This is from Lao Tzu's house!"
Father Zhang suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and roared angrily.
"Then change it to another way, convert it into money, those things are worth 300 yuan no matter what."
"300 yuan? You're cheating! Two hundred at most!"
"Then two hundred."
Xiao Le nodded, "When will I give it?"
The family fell silent for a moment.
Zhang Chengqing gritted his teeth and said, "Second uncle, didn't those things be given to us?"
"Am I your real father? Or your parents' real father? I have no blood relationship with you at all," Xiao Le clicked his tongue, "You guys are really thick-skinned, why do you ask me to give it to you for nothing?"
"You, you gave it to us for nothing!"
Mama Zhang just refused to admit it.
"I still have the IOUs written by Brother Zhang," Xiao Le looked at them with a smile, "You don't pay back the money or the things, I will take these IOUs to the police and tell you that you eat and drink for free, and that you have money. You don’t have to go to work if you have feet! The whole family is like a capitalist!”
This frightened the Zhang family.
It's not as simple as going to jail, after being locked up for a few months, no one dares to deal with them after they come out!
"Within three days, either give me 200 yuan, or give me this house, or I will send you to prison for meals."
Xiao Le was full and took a nap in Zhang's guest room before leaving contentedly.
In the main room, the faces of the Zhang family were uglier than each other.
"What's the matter with the IOU?"
Mama Zhang trembled.
"...Isn't this just a superficial trick so that he can send things over?"
In order to show that he was really borrowing something and not taking advantage of it, Dad Zhang deliberately asked the team leader to write a lot of notes for him. Every time he "borrowed" something, he wrote his name on it.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Le really kept these IOUs and played a big bomb for them!
"Dad, Mom, I don't want to go to jail, let alone shave my head and tattoo my face!"
Zhang Chenghong was really scared, more scared than not being able to be with Liu Weijun.
"Me, I don't want to either."
Zhang Chengqing covered his face, "Mom and Dad, I am your only son! If I get capital... I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life!"
"You said you're fine, what's the IOU! Now it's all right!"
Zhang's mother couldn't cry, Zhang's father slapped the table, "Why didn't you blame me when you ate and drank well?!"
"That's because you don't have the ability, otherwise, can the children and I suffer with you?"
At this time, the husband and wife stabbed each other with knives like enemies, and then they fought even more.
Zhang Chenghong cried and ran out of the house, and ran directly to the place where Liu Weijun was working. Liu Weijun saw her from a long distance away. He told the people beside him and walked to the small suspension bridge from another road.
And Zhang Chenghong, who saw Liu Weijun leaving, also went to the small suspension bridge. When the two met, Zhang Chenghong threw himself into his arms and cried, "You marry me..."
Xiao Le didn't go to Zhang's house for dinner at night, but went to Lao Guang Liu's house.
Lao Guang Liu didn't expect him to come, but when he thought of what the eldest son told him just now, he immediately smiled at Xiao Le. The food wasn't good, but it wasn't that bad either.
Xiao Le ate sullenly, but didn't pick up his faults.
It was still Liu Weijun who couldn't help but said, "Second uncle, I want to marry Chenghong, but the gift money..."
"This is a good thing, congratulations," Xiao Le put down the bowl and chopsticks, drank some water and said with a smile, "When will we have the wedding wine?"
"...We are still worrying about the gift money."
Liu Weijun said with difficulty.
"Have you started talking yet?"
"No, our family is the one who prepared it first, and the second uncle also knows about our family's situation, so he wants to... want to borrow some money from the second uncle."
"Speaking of borrowing money," Xiao Le took out the IOU, "Brother, when will you pay me the 20 yuan you lent me years ago? After my brother was injured, he emptied out his entire family, and my mother was seriously ill again. , the family is almost unable to open the pot."
The smile on Old Guang Liu's face froze.
Liu Weijun couldn't continue speaking.
Their family did get a lot of benefits from Xiao Le. Liu Weijun still thought Xiao Le was a fool and looked down on him, but now that he was worried about the gift money, he was the first to think of a way on Xiao Le.
Liu Weijun suddenly felt very sad.
The atmosphere was so embarrassing, Xiao Le put away the IOU, and sighed, "I know it's not easy for your family, so let's give it when you have it. Alas, Brother Zhang and his family are also chipping in for me. Wei Jun and Regarding the matter of becoming popular, I have a few suggestions, you should consider it..."
After Xiao Le left, Liu Weijun sat there silently, Lao Guang Liu said softly, "I lent the 20 yuan to Xiaoliang to prescribe medicine."
I didn't tell Liu Weijun about this.
Liu Weijun moved his lips, but couldn't say a word.
After thinking about it for a while, Laoguang Liu began to talk with Liu Weijun about how to marry the Zhang family...
"I ate at Zhang's in the morning and at noon, and at Liu's in the evening. Did you really eat it?"
Mama Xiao narrowed her eyes and asked.
"I've eaten it," Xiao Le lifted the hem of his clothes, showing Xiao Ma's bulging stomach, "Look, I'm very full."
What is the idea of these two?
Xiao Ma and Yang Xiuxiu looked at each other.
Today, Yang Xiuxiu put all the things she bought in Xiao's mother's room. She cooked as much as she ate, and the cabinet was locked. If Xiao Le wanted to take it, she had to drag the whole cabinet away.
After Xiao Le came back and finished reporting, he went to wash and sleep.
The quilt he washed was not yet dry, Yang Xiuxiu came back and saw it, and gave Xiao Le the new quilt she was dowry with.
After Xiao Le went back to the room to look at it, he came to Yang Xiuxiu with red eyes, "Thank you sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you believe me, I really changed."
Yang Xiuxiu sighed softly, "My mother and I believe in you, don't let us down again."
"Shufen...I'll pick it up. My uncle's house is my uncle's house. Let her come back to live. I won't have the idea that those are not things anymore."
"...Mom has thought about this matter, you go to bed first."
Xiao Le nodded and went into the house.
Yang Xiuxiu hurried to Xiao's mother's room and told her, Xiao's mother looked vigilant, "He's going to pick it up? It's a dream! I don't know if I can pick it up and go home!"
"Mom, why don't you let Shufen go to my mother's house for a few days," Yang Xiuxiu suggested, "my parents and younger sister are the only ones in my house, so it's convenient."
There are several cousins in my uncle's house.
"That's too much trouble for the in-laws."
"What's the trouble?" Yang Xiuxiu smiled, "We're all family."
So without Xiao Le's knowledge, Xiao Shufen went to live in Yang Xiuxiu's natal family again.
The Zhang family didn't sleep well all night. In the middle of the night, Zhang Chenghong heard the familiar whistle. She walked out of the yard lightly and was dragged to the grove by Liu Weijun.
"It's late at night, you are not afraid to find me?"
"Why would I be afraid of looking for you?" Liu Weijun hugged her, "Hong, you know my family's situation. If you were with me, I wouldn't even be able to make up the dowry money."
"You want to break up?"
Zhang Chenghong pushed him away, "You want to break up?!"
"I don't want to break up, I want to go out and venture out. I heard that it's a good way to go to Laolin to find things to sell."
"I'm almost eighteen. You don't know when you'll come back after leaving. I..."
"Then there is only one way, you heard me..."
The three days were almost up, and the Zhang family had emptied out their wealth, and they were still short of 50 yuan.
"I remember that there are more than 20 buried under the corner of the wall, why are there none?" Zhang's mother was very impatient.
"I remember too," Zhang's father threw away the hoe angrily, "Why did it disappear?"
"It's over, it's over! That dull head is looking for the captain!"
Watching the wind at the door, Zhang Chengqing, who was afraid of Xiao Le's sudden arrival, said loudly.
Zhang's father and his wife were also terrified. Only Zhang Chenghong touched the 20 yuan secretly taken in his pocket, but did not speak.
"I'll be polite first, captain, these IOUs signed by brother Zhang," Xiao Le brought the captain into Zhang's house, showed the IOU to the captain, and then said to Zhang's family, "If you don't pay me back within the stipulated time, I will just pay you back." Call the police."
The captain picked up those IOUs and looked at them, then said in a cold voice, "Zhang Fu, you are too embarrassed, have you used Xiao Le as your father for more than two years?"
"Xiao Le, captain," Zhang's father took out a pile of 150 yuan made up of a few dimes, "We have 150 yuan here, and there is 50 yuan left, I, we will pay it back as soon as possible!"
"Yes, yes, we will go to work tomorrow, and we can pay back the food in the future. Don't let us go to prison for food!"
Mama Zhang's eyes were red from crying.
At this time, Lao Guang Liu brought Liu Weijun to the door.
He didn't seem to see the embarrassment of the Zhang family, "What's the matter?"
"Brother, are you here?"
Xiao Le asked deliberately.
"Oh, isn't this the family's child is grown up, come to propose marriage."
Old Guang Liu smiled and pointed to Liu Weijun behind him.
Liu Weijun gave the things he was carrying to Mama Zhang, who still had tears on her face.
"Then the captain and I will sit next to each other first."
With that said, Xiao Le gathered the money as well, folded them one by one, and calculated them clearly.
The captain who looked sideways at him couldn't help but said, "If your brother knows that you have done this, he must be very happy, Xiao Le, doing good deeds and doing good deeds for the sake of doing good deeds are two different things."
The relationship between the captain and Xiao Mo is very good, otherwise Xiao Le would be too embarrassed to find him.
"I understand that the more I help them, the lazier they become. This is wrong," Xiao Le replied with a smile, "I can't be like my dad, who can be so stubborn that my family members will suffer along with it."
They are talking and laughing here.
Zhang's father and Zhang's mother over there were so angry that they died.
Because just now, Liu Weijun and Zhang Chenghong said that they had already talked about someone, and Zhang Chenghong already had his child in his stomach.
This is to deceive the Zhang family, but the Zhang family is now riding a tiger and refuses to agree to this matter. Lao Guang Liu said that he would expose the child's affairs.
That will also affect Zhang Chengqing.
They agreed, and they felt aggrieved again!
"I also came here sincerely. There is 50 yuan here. You also know the situation of my family. I borrowed a lot of money to make up the money. But don't worry, I will pay the money myself, and I will not let the boss pay it back."
Lao Guang Liu took out a lot of money and said.
Zhang's mother sneered, "Your son made my daughter's belly bigger, and the 50 yuan is gone?"
"mom!"
Zhang Chenghong stamped her feet.
"Shut up! Do you know that if you put this matter aside, you will be punished!"
Father Zhang wished he could give her a slap.
"Money, that's all we have. Most of the betrothal gifts in our village are only more than 30. I have already made up to [-]. Because our Liu family is in a loss. If you think it's not enough, then forget it."
Old Guang Liu stood up, "I will give this money to Chenghong. She can still decide to marry my son after taking the gift money. The big deal is not to have a banquet, but to be honest, even if you accept the gift money, you will still be married. If you don’t know how to arrange dinner for her, then it’s better to let her hold the money comfortably in her hands.”
"You are so unruly!"
"What kind of society is it now? Don't do what it used to be," Lao Guang Liu really gave Zhang Chenghong the money, and Zhang Chenghong looked at his parents with the money.
Zhang Ma said angrily, "If you take the money, you won't be our daughter in the future!"
"Yes! We all pretend we don't have your daughter!"
"Oh," Xiao Le leaned over, "It's a loss for you. My daughter doesn't recognize you, and you don't have a gift money, and you still owe me money. Then when will your family be able to marry a daughter-in-law?"
Thinking about it like this seems like a real loss.
After hearing this, the captain also frowned and said, "You two are married, not enemies."
The Zhang family turned pale. They forgot that the captain was here too. If it turned into a red belly, wouldn't it be...
Zhang Ma almost snatched the money from Zhang Chenghong, and then she gave the money to Xiao Le. Zhang Dad hurriedly asked Xiao Le to give him an IOU, and Xiao Le gave it.
Then Mama Zhang said to Lao Guang Liu, trembling her lips, "Our family has no money. We have no money to deal with Cheng Hong and Wei Jun. Let her clean it up, and you can take it home."
This is not a rare thing, for a very poor family, the girl wears her best clothes, carries a small bag, and then goes to her husband's house, and lives a good life.
Zhang Chenghong kowtowed to them a few times, went back to the room to tidy up, and left with Lao Guangliu and the others.
"Xiao Le, the accounts between us are also settled, and we will go our separate ways from now on." Father Zhang stared at Xiao Le, and Xiao Le nodded.
"If you need anything in the future, don't be polite. I don't want interest, just make an IOU."
Father Zhang only felt a headache.
"Captain, please don't say anything about today's matter. My family, Cheng Qing, hasn't married a wife yet."
Zhang Ma and Zhang Chengqing held the captain tightly.
The captain said helplessly, "I know, we will rot in our stomachs when we get out of this door."
Xiao Le walked behind the captain, and also said that he would not speak out. Before he could finish speaking, the courtyard door was closed.
Tsk, the one who borrowed money is the uncle.
Xiao Le touched the two bulging pockets with a smile on his face.
"How on earth did you tell them, why did you talk about going to jail?"
Just now the captain followed his words, now that I think about it, I'm really curious.
"I'm talking nonsense. If I don't pay back the money, I will let them go to jail. Then they don't work, and they always take advantage of others, just like the capitalists. When I say this, they are scared. Captain, thank you today, I will ask you another day You eat."
"When Xiao Mo comes back, I'll treat you brothers to dinner." The captain was also in a good mood, worried that Xiao Le would lend the money again, so he sent him home, and looked at Xiao's mother who was sick before leaving.
"He's only in his 30s, but he's already the team leader. This kid can't do it."
Mama Xiao sighed.
"Sister-in-law, Mom, this is the money that Zhang's family gave me after discounting it. It's two hundred in total." Xiao Le took out the money and put it on the table. There are relatively few, but they will pay back slowly.”
Looking at the money, the two were shocked.
Xiao's mother hurriedly asked Yang Xiuxiu to count it, and it was really 200 yuan!
"You did a good job, Xiao Le, you did a good job..."
Mama Xiao couldn't help but cry.
"What I'm most afraid of is that you are like your dead ghost father, caring about everything! You are doing very well, very well..."
"Mom, don't cry," Xiao Le hurried forward to wipe her tears, "Sister-in-law, you use this money to subsidize the family, and send some to my brother, so that he can eat something good and nourish his body."
Yang Xiuxiu always felt like he was dreaming, until he went to the town to send the money the next day, and when he took the list, he felt a little real.
However, Zhang Chenghong and Liu Weijun worked together the next day, with red cloth strips tied to the bowls in their hands. Only people in the village knew that Zhang and Liu were married.
When Laoguang Liu Le happily returned Xiao Le's 20 yuan, Xiao Le was still a little confused, "Do you still have money?"
"Tsk, my daughter-in-law is filial, she said that she has saved money for many years, let us return the bulk first, brother, thanks to you, otherwise my Weijun and Chenghong would definitely not be able to be together."
"I didn't do anything, besides, your guards really like to be popular, let him treat others better," Xiao Le said.
"That's for sure. If he dares to bully Cheng Hong, I will kick him out and I will lose my son!"
Lao Guang Liu was in good spirits on happy occasions. When the Zhang family went to work, everyone was startled first, and then they were startled by their haggard faces.
When someone asked about the marriage between the two families, they were also vague, and they didn't want to talk about it anyway.
Dad Zhang is not the kind of person who suffers. His repayment of the money was publicized by him everywhere, but Xiao Le forced him to give the money. As a result, Xiao Le said good things about him everywhere, saying that he was righteous, and the IOU was given. The money was also equivalent to food and paid back.
It made Zhang's father a person who didn't want to return things, and stealing chickens won't make money.
But the Zhang family paid back the money, and the Liu family gave back the bulk. The rest of the family also sent some vegetables and sweet potatoes to their door, expressing that they would pay back slowly.
Xiao's mother was happy, and her whole body became more energetic, and her condition gradually improved, but she had a serious heart disease.
And Xiao Shufen was brought back at the end of October.
She grew taller and thinner.
It's not that the Yang family abused her, it's because she had something on her mind and was thinking about her family, so she didn't gain weight.
"Second brother."
Xiao Shufen started to work when she got home, cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, and prepared meals. When Yang Xiuxiu and Xiao Le came back, she first greeted Yang Xiuxiu with a smile, and when she met Xiao Le, she said coldly .
"Ah, thinner and taller."
Xiao Le didn't mind either, it was the original owner who committed the crime.
Xiao Shufen hummed, sat beside Xiao Ma, and didn't talk to him much.
The biggest change when my sister came back was that there was someone to take care of her at home, so he and Yang Xiuxiu would not worry about the family anymore.
"Shufen," Xiao's mother lay on the bamboo chair, looking at her busy little daughter, "come and sit with mom."
"Mom, if you want to talk about the second brother, then you can leave it alone." Xiao Shufen continued busy without looking back, "When the eldest brother comes back, I must let him beat the second brother!"
"That's for sure," Xiao's mother smiled and waved at her, "Let's not talk about your second brother, let's talk about you."
"My business?"
Xiao Shufen raised her head vigilantly, and Xiao's mother hurriedly said, "What are you thinking, you treat me as your second brother!"
Xiao Shufen's expression relaxed a little now, "What can I do?"
"Of course you do. Don't you want to go on to school?"
"I'm already seventeen, what else do I study?"
Xiao Shufen couldn't laugh or cry.
"Why can't you, my girl Li is going to go next year."
"She's going?"
Xiao Shufen was taken aback, Li Daya was one year older than her.
"There are a lot of people as old as you now. Besides, the people at the Educated Youth Institute are all holding books and reading, explaining what, it means that studying is good. Your second brother came back after chasing part of the money and paid you the tuition fee. Is it enough?" Understand."
Xiao Shufen still hesitated.
But he didn't say no more.
"Xiao Le, there's not much work in the field these two days, let's go to the mountain to get something."
A young man pulled Xiao Le and said.
This man is called Chen Jianjun, with a lively nature, the same age as Xiao Le, and likes to go up the mountain to catch pheasants, and go down the river to fish for small fish.
"Okay," Xiao Le nodded, "I haven't been there for a long time, and I don't know how lucky I am."
"Then it's settled. I'll see you at the gate of Li San's house tomorrow morning."
"it is good."
Early the next morning, Xiao Le went to find Chen Jianjun and the others with a basket on his back. A group of five went up the mountain together.
"Why do you carry such a big backpack?"
Li San wondered.
"If I don't get anything, I can just pick up some firewood and go back."
Xiao Le said with a smile.
Chen Jianjun always feels that he has changed a lot. If he wants to say what has changed, he will smile more sincerely, and he will not often ask others what his family needs.
As soon as he entered the mountain, when Xiao Le bent down to tie his shoelaces, he saw a little mung bean eye.
He was startled, and so was the pheasant. Before he could run away, he was caught by Li San, who had quick eyes and quick hands!
"I said you are very lucky!"
Li San didn't want the pheasant, saying that Xiao Le saw it.
Xiao Le scratched his head, put the pheasant into the basket, and walked forward for about 10 minutes. He looked up to see the sunshine, but saw a large bee bag.
"Bee bag!"
Xiao Le yelled.
Everyone was very happy, this is a good thing!
But no one is wearing a hat, this thing stings!
"I come!"
Xiao Le picked up the stick and asked the others to hide, just to try their "luck".
Xiao Le, who took the first step, walked on the country road with a half box of sweet potatoes in one hand and a small torch in the other, singing a little song.
When he got home, the courtyard door was ajar, and the main room was lit with oil lamps.
The door of the main room is open, and the people inside can be seen at a glance.
Xiao's mother glanced at the sweet potato he was carrying, and pulled her lips, "Hehe, it's worth it to me to see you picking things up at home before I die."
Putting out the small torch that was more than half burned and putting it away, Xiao Le carried the sweet potato into the main room, and Yang Xiuxiu was making shoes in the corner.
"Mom, Brother Zhang returned it. They have food at home. I ate there at noon today, and also at night. He also gave this bamboo chair."
Xiao Le pointed to the bamboo chair in the corner.
The more Xiao's mother listened, the more ugly her face became, "So, you think he is a good person, and he will try his best to take care of his family in the future?"
"That won't be the case," Xiao Le stepped forward flatteringly, and rubbed Mama Xiao's shoulders very lightly, "I figured it out, his family has food, and they wanted to borrow it from me, and it must have been like this before, Dad Said to be a good person and do good things, but they lied to me, they did wrong before that, and I have to get those things back."
"Take it back," Xiao's mother sneered, "I ate it all and dragged it to the latrine. What did you bring back? Besides, did they borrow it? They asked you to give it to them! In this production team, who doesn't Do you know that you, Xiao Le, are a good person? Do you dare to take it?"
"Take your time," Xiao Le scratched his head and looked at Yang Xiuxiu, "Sister-in-law, Lao Guang Liu paid me back one yuan today, and I will give it to you to subsidize the family."
As he spoke, he took out a crumpled one dollar bill from his pocket.
Yang Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, Xiao Ma immediately said, "What are you doing in a daze? Take it!"
No matter how they came back, anyway, if they entered their house, they could not be sent out by Xiao Le again!
"Mom, it's getting late, why don't you go back to bed?"
Xiao Le said softly.
"After death, I will sleep forever. You care what I do."
Xiao's mother mercilessly rejected the care he sent to her.
Xiao Le touched his nose, "Then I'll wash up and go to sleep."
"It's not easy for your sister-in-law to carry water, save water," Xiao's mother gave him a sideways look.
"...Okay, okay, mom, sister-in-law, then I'll go."
After Xiao Le left the main room, Yang Xiuxiu quickly came to Xiao's mother, "Mom, are you a bit cold to my uncle?"
"I don't know if this thing is not cold!" Mother Xiao gritted her teeth, "I'll give him another chance. If he changes this time, I will still recognize him as my son. If he doesn't change it, I will make the decision when Xiao Mo comes back next time." Divide up the family!"
"mom!"
Yang Xiuxiu was taken aback.
After all, parents are not separated.
Moreover, Xiao Le was assigned alone, and he didn't even have his own land. He could only live on his work points, and with his uncle's temper... he was afraid he would starve to death.
"Listen to me," Xiao's mother was very sober, she took Yang Xiuxiu's hand, "and Shufen, when you go to the market tomorrow, send a message to the person at her uncle's side, let her live again Come back some days, be diligent and don't be annoying."
"Eh."
Yang Xiuxiu nodded repeatedly.
After Xiao Le tidied himself up, he went to bed.
The original main room had only one bed.
Xiao's mother knew his temperament, so apart from the bed, she didn't even make a cabinet for him, fearing that he would send it out when he was happy.
Xiao Le ripped off everything on the bed and slept on the wooden plank. He got up before dawn.
He threw away the hay on the bed, took the bedding and so on to the river and washed them clean, then took them back to the yard to dry, then took the pole, picked up the bucket and went out.
Not long after he left, Mother Xiao stood at the entrance of the main room, leaning on the wall.
I don't know how long she looked at it, but she let out a long sigh and went back.
Yang Xiuxiu had already set off when Xiao Le went out to wash the bedding.
She has to go early and come back early, and she can still do some work in the afternoon.
The water tank was full, Xiao Le steamed Mama Xiao's porridge, watched her eat it, and after washing the dishes, he was ready to go out.
"You don't eat?"
Seeing that he was about to go out, Xiao's mother couldn't help asking.
"I'm going to eat at Brother Zhang's."
Xiao Le smiled.
Xiao's mother grumbled expressionlessly, complaining in her heart: It's not too bad to eat shit.
This family is not active in work, but Xiao Le likes the rule of serving meals on time every day.
He walked on the road swaggeringly with a hoe on his shoulder. It was neither too early nor too late. On the road, he met some people who came back from fetching water, and he also met some people who had just returned from looking for vegetables in their private plot.
Xiao Le greeted each other one after another, with a smile on his face, which made everyone feel good in the morning.
"Good morning, second brother."
"Morning, it's still early to start work, where are you going?"
"I went to Zhang Ge's house for dinner. He was very enthusiastic and insisted on letting me go there early this morning. Oh, it's really not thanks to me helping their family so much in the past. Zhang Ge is really a man of love."
As soon as Dad Zhang opened the courtyard door, he heard two people standing in front of the house, and Xiao Le who was praising him with excitement.
"Ouch, brother, you came to pick me up right after I came here? Really, the second brother, I went in. Is the food ready? I'll eat right away, and I have to go to work."
As Xiao Le said, he walked towards the gate of the courtyard. Father Zhang was pushed away with his stiff body.
The second elder brother looked at him with some confusion and said, "I misunderstood you before, and you are not such a ungrateful person."
Dad Zhang: ...
"Why is he here!"
Zhang's mother, who was just about to start dinner, saw Xiao Le who put down her hoe and was sitting at their dinner table without any hesitation, pinched Zhang's father and said.
Father Zhang wiped his face, "Did I ask him to come over for breakfast yesterday?"
"No way," Zhang Ma frowned, and turned her head to let Zhang Chenghong put away the sweet potatoes and fried vegetables, "The autumn wind has come to us, don't forget, he gave you a straw paper yesterday! You still have the face to eat today ,I bother!"
Zhang Chengqing hung his head and said nothing, and followed Zhang Chenghong to put away his things.
"That's right, I haven't settled with him for what happened yesterday!"
Zhang's father was very angry, and came to the main room with a menacing expression on his face. He was about to question Xiao Le when he heard Xiao Le say, "Brother Zhang, what about the five yuan you lent me last year and the ten yuan you lent me this year?" When will it be returned?"
"In the past two years, your family has lent me a total of five catties of meat, twenty catties of white flour, forty catties of cornmeal, fifty catties of miscellaneous grains, one hundred catties of sweet potatoes, fifty eggs, and a chicken."
"..."
Father Zhang stood there in embarrassment.
Zhang's mother, who was eavesdropping outside, looked at her children in surprise, "Did we borrow so many things?"
Brother and sister Zhang Chenghong were also shocked.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiao Le just kept looking at him.
Father Zhang's mind was in a mess. Seeing Xiao Le frowning and touching his stomach, he immediately said loudly, "Let's eat first! You haven't eaten yet? Just eat here! Chenghong's mother quickly prepares dinner!"
As she said that, she was still walking outside. Mama Zhang stomped her feet, and he came to the kitchen, "Didn't you drive him away? Why did you leave food!"
"Can you do it without leaving food? Can you return so many things now?! Get the people away first, and let's not open the door next time!"
Father Zhang is also very irritable.
So Xiao Le ate very full at Zhang's house, and took the last few steamed sweet potatoes when he left, "I'll eat it at noon, hey, you have borrowed all the rice and food money in this house, so I can't get some sweet potatoes Do you mind?"
"...I don't mind, but Xiao Le, our life is also difficult," Zhang Ma said with tears, "Look at our family becoming famous..."
"You're pretty fat, and you're well-raised," Xiao Le answered with a smile, "Oh, especially Chenghong, you're a big girl, you can discuss marriage next year, my uncle's..."
"It's getting late, you'd better go to work, you can take all these sweet potatoes," Zhang Chenghong was startled, for fear that he would introduce himself to his cousins for doing something good.
"Good boy," Xiao Le walked away with a smile.
The family slumped on the stools as if they had been in a battle.
"Why do I feel that there is something wrong with Duantou today?"
"Yeah, before we complained and cried about being poor, he cried with us, and he sent things over when he turned around."
"...Maybe it's because I have borrowed too much in the past two years." Zhang Chengqing blushed a little, "I don't think it's too much. Why did he make such a calculation and borrow so much?"
"Did we borrow it?"
"Isn't that from him?"
"Yes, yes, he sent it, he sent it..."
Xiao Le is very popular, it doesn't matter whether it is because he wants to take advantage of him, or he thinks he is a good person, anyway, when he is at work, there are quite a few people who talk to Xiao Le to brag about him.
Xiao Le came to Zhang's house again at noon.
The door of Zhang's courtyard was tightly closed, as if it was an empty house inside.
Xiao Le knocked loudly.
Passers-by saw this and asked a few words.
The Zhang family inside was worried.
Then I heard Xiao Le crying, "Brother Zhang said he asked me to come over for lunch today, why isn't the door open at this hour?"
Dad Zhang was so angry that his heart ached. When did he say to let Xiao Le come over for lunch? !
"I've helped them a lot in the past two years. You all know, right? Last year, Brother Zhang said that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time. The children in the family were very greedy, especially Chenghong's child, who loves meat. He secretly came to me crying with the child, so I cut off more than half of the meat my brother bought and gave it to him..."
The Zhang family was shocked when they heard this.
"Dad! Hurry up and pull him in! How can I get married if I lose my life!"
Zhang Chenghong cried anxiously.
"Mom! I'm too old, you can't make me unable to marry a daughter-in-law!"
The food is not very good these days, the two brothers and sisters look small, but in fact one has grown up and the other is about to grow up.
"Ouch! I was busy in the kitchen just now, and I didn't hear you knocking on the door. Come in quickly, brother! The food is ready!"
Mama Zhang immediately went to open the courtyard door, good guy, Xiao Le was standing at the front, and there were dozens of people listening in front of him!
Even the thick-skinned Zhang's mother blushed at this moment, "His father invites his second uncle in for dinner!"
Only then did Zhang's father come to his senses, and hurried forward, pulling Xiao Le into the courtyard, while Zhang's mother hurriedly closed the courtyard door behind him.
Just when they were angrily glaring at Xiao Le, Xiao Le suddenly yelled out of the courtyard door, "Brother Zhang, Sister Zhang, I'm telling the truth! You don't want to close the courtyard door and beat me, do you?!"
oh my god.
"My dear second uncle, please sit down and eat." Zhang Chengqing pulled him into the main room, and Zhang Chenghong brought out the food in front of him.
Xiao Le ate with a smile, Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were very angry, but they didn't want Xiao Le to eat all of it, so the family sat down angrily and rushed to eat.
Xiao Le directly poured the food into his own bowl, and then said slowly, "When did you return the things I mentioned, and when did I not eat them with you, of course, you don't have to return them."
"Can you pay it back?"
Mama Zhang's eyes lit up.
Xiao Le nodded, pointed to the roof, "I want your house."
"Dream! This is from Lao Tzu's house!"
Father Zhang suddenly put down the bowl and chopsticks, and roared angrily.
"Then change it to another way, convert it into money, those things are worth 300 yuan no matter what."
"300 yuan? You're cheating! Two hundred at most!"
"Then two hundred."
Xiao Le nodded, "When will I give it?"
The family fell silent for a moment.
Zhang Chengqing gritted his teeth and said, "Second uncle, didn't those things be given to us?"
"Am I your real father? Or your parents' real father? I have no blood relationship with you at all," Xiao Le clicked his tongue, "You guys are really thick-skinned, why do you ask me to give it to you for nothing?"
"You, you gave it to us for nothing!"
Mama Zhang just refused to admit it.
"I still have the IOUs written by Brother Zhang," Xiao Le looked at them with a smile, "You don't pay back the money or the things, I will take these IOUs to the police and tell you that you eat and drink for free, and that you have money. You don’t have to go to work if you have feet! The whole family is like a capitalist!”
This frightened the Zhang family.
It's not as simple as going to jail, after being locked up for a few months, no one dares to deal with them after they come out!
"Within three days, either give me 200 yuan, or give me this house, or I will send you to prison for meals."
Xiao Le was full and took a nap in Zhang's guest room before leaving contentedly.
In the main room, the faces of the Zhang family were uglier than each other.
"What's the matter with the IOU?"
Mama Zhang trembled.
"...Isn't this just a superficial trick so that he can send things over?"
In order to show that he was really borrowing something and not taking advantage of it, Dad Zhang deliberately asked the team leader to write a lot of notes for him. Every time he "borrowed" something, he wrote his name on it.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Le really kept these IOUs and played a big bomb for them!
"Dad, Mom, I don't want to go to jail, let alone shave my head and tattoo my face!"
Zhang Chenghong was really scared, more scared than not being able to be with Liu Weijun.
"Me, I don't want to either."
Zhang Chengqing covered his face, "Mom and Dad, I am your only son! If I get capital... I will be a bachelor for the rest of my life!"
"You said you're fine, what's the IOU! Now it's all right!"
Zhang's mother couldn't cry, Zhang's father slapped the table, "Why didn't you blame me when you ate and drank well?!"
"That's because you don't have the ability, otherwise, can the children and I suffer with you?"
At this time, the husband and wife stabbed each other with knives like enemies, and then they fought even more.
Zhang Chenghong cried and ran out of the house, and ran directly to the place where Liu Weijun was working. Liu Weijun saw her from a long distance away. He told the people beside him and walked to the small suspension bridge from another road.
And Zhang Chenghong, who saw Liu Weijun leaving, also went to the small suspension bridge. When the two met, Zhang Chenghong threw himself into his arms and cried, "You marry me..."
Xiao Le didn't go to Zhang's house for dinner at night, but went to Lao Guang Liu's house.
Lao Guang Liu didn't expect him to come, but when he thought of what the eldest son told him just now, he immediately smiled at Xiao Le. The food wasn't good, but it wasn't that bad either.
Xiao Le ate sullenly, but didn't pick up his faults.
It was still Liu Weijun who couldn't help but said, "Second uncle, I want to marry Chenghong, but the gift money..."
"This is a good thing, congratulations," Xiao Le put down the bowl and chopsticks, drank some water and said with a smile, "When will we have the wedding wine?"
"...We are still worrying about the gift money."
Liu Weijun said with difficulty.
"Have you started talking yet?"
"No, our family is the one who prepared it first, and the second uncle also knows about our family's situation, so he wants to... want to borrow some money from the second uncle."
"Speaking of borrowing money," Xiao Le took out the IOU, "Brother, when will you pay me the 20 yuan you lent me years ago? After my brother was injured, he emptied out his entire family, and my mother was seriously ill again. , the family is almost unable to open the pot."
The smile on Old Guang Liu's face froze.
Liu Weijun couldn't continue speaking.
Their family did get a lot of benefits from Xiao Le. Liu Weijun still thought Xiao Le was a fool and looked down on him, but now that he was worried about the gift money, he was the first to think of a way on Xiao Le.
Liu Weijun suddenly felt very sad.
The atmosphere was so embarrassing, Xiao Le put away the IOU, and sighed, "I know it's not easy for your family, so let's give it when you have it. Alas, Brother Zhang and his family are also chipping in for me. Wei Jun and Regarding the matter of becoming popular, I have a few suggestions, you should consider it..."
After Xiao Le left, Liu Weijun sat there silently, Lao Guang Liu said softly, "I lent the 20 yuan to Xiaoliang to prescribe medicine."
I didn't tell Liu Weijun about this.
Liu Weijun moved his lips, but couldn't say a word.
After thinking about it for a while, Laoguang Liu began to talk with Liu Weijun about how to marry the Zhang family...
"I ate at Zhang's in the morning and at noon, and at Liu's in the evening. Did you really eat it?"
Mama Xiao narrowed her eyes and asked.
"I've eaten it," Xiao Le lifted the hem of his clothes, showing Xiao Ma's bulging stomach, "Look, I'm very full."
What is the idea of these two?
Xiao Ma and Yang Xiuxiu looked at each other.
Today, Yang Xiuxiu put all the things she bought in Xiao's mother's room. She cooked as much as she ate, and the cabinet was locked. If Xiao Le wanted to take it, she had to drag the whole cabinet away.
After Xiao Le came back and finished reporting, he went to wash and sleep.
The quilt he washed was not yet dry, Yang Xiuxiu came back and saw it, and gave Xiao Le the new quilt she was dowry with.
After Xiao Le went back to the room to look at it, he came to Yang Xiuxiu with red eyes, "Thank you sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you believe me, I really changed."
Yang Xiuxiu sighed softly, "My mother and I believe in you, don't let us down again."
"Shufen...I'll pick it up. My uncle's house is my uncle's house. Let her come back to live. I won't have the idea that those are not things anymore."
"...Mom has thought about this matter, you go to bed first."
Xiao Le nodded and went into the house.
Yang Xiuxiu hurried to Xiao's mother's room and told her, Xiao's mother looked vigilant, "He's going to pick it up? It's a dream! I don't know if I can pick it up and go home!"
"Mom, why don't you let Shufen go to my mother's house for a few days," Yang Xiuxiu suggested, "my parents and younger sister are the only ones in my house, so it's convenient."
There are several cousins in my uncle's house.
"That's too much trouble for the in-laws."
"What's the trouble?" Yang Xiuxiu smiled, "We're all family."
So without Xiao Le's knowledge, Xiao Shufen went to live in Yang Xiuxiu's natal family again.
The Zhang family didn't sleep well all night. In the middle of the night, Zhang Chenghong heard the familiar whistle. She walked out of the yard lightly and was dragged to the grove by Liu Weijun.
"It's late at night, you are not afraid to find me?"
"Why would I be afraid of looking for you?" Liu Weijun hugged her, "Hong, you know my family's situation. If you were with me, I wouldn't even be able to make up the dowry money."
"You want to break up?"
Zhang Chenghong pushed him away, "You want to break up?!"
"I don't want to break up, I want to go out and venture out. I heard that it's a good way to go to Laolin to find things to sell."
"I'm almost eighteen. You don't know when you'll come back after leaving. I..."
"Then there is only one way, you heard me..."
The three days were almost up, and the Zhang family had emptied out their wealth, and they were still short of 50 yuan.
"I remember that there are more than 20 buried under the corner of the wall, why are there none?" Zhang's mother was very impatient.
"I remember too," Zhang's father threw away the hoe angrily, "Why did it disappear?"
"It's over, it's over! That dull head is looking for the captain!"
Watching the wind at the door, Zhang Chengqing, who was afraid of Xiao Le's sudden arrival, said loudly.
Zhang's father and his wife were also terrified. Only Zhang Chenghong touched the 20 yuan secretly taken in his pocket, but did not speak.
"I'll be polite first, captain, these IOUs signed by brother Zhang," Xiao Le brought the captain into Zhang's house, showed the IOU to the captain, and then said to Zhang's family, "If you don't pay me back within the stipulated time, I will just pay you back." Call the police."
The captain picked up those IOUs and looked at them, then said in a cold voice, "Zhang Fu, you are too embarrassed, have you used Xiao Le as your father for more than two years?"
"Xiao Le, captain," Zhang's father took out a pile of 150 yuan made up of a few dimes, "We have 150 yuan here, and there is 50 yuan left, I, we will pay it back as soon as possible!"
"Yes, yes, we will go to work tomorrow, and we can pay back the food in the future. Don't let us go to prison for food!"
Mama Zhang's eyes were red from crying.
At this time, Lao Guang Liu brought Liu Weijun to the door.
He didn't seem to see the embarrassment of the Zhang family, "What's the matter?"
"Brother, are you here?"
Xiao Le asked deliberately.
"Oh, isn't this the family's child is grown up, come to propose marriage."
Old Guang Liu smiled and pointed to Liu Weijun behind him.
Liu Weijun gave the things he was carrying to Mama Zhang, who still had tears on her face.
"Then the captain and I will sit next to each other first."
With that said, Xiao Le gathered the money as well, folded them one by one, and calculated them clearly.
The captain who looked sideways at him couldn't help but said, "If your brother knows that you have done this, he must be very happy, Xiao Le, doing good deeds and doing good deeds for the sake of doing good deeds are two different things."
The relationship between the captain and Xiao Mo is very good, otherwise Xiao Le would be too embarrassed to find him.
"I understand that the more I help them, the lazier they become. This is wrong," Xiao Le replied with a smile, "I can't be like my dad, who can be so stubborn that my family members will suffer along with it."
They are talking and laughing here.
Zhang's father and Zhang's mother over there were so angry that they died.
Because just now, Liu Weijun and Zhang Chenghong said that they had already talked about someone, and Zhang Chenghong already had his child in his stomach.
This is to deceive the Zhang family, but the Zhang family is now riding a tiger and refuses to agree to this matter. Lao Guang Liu said that he would expose the child's affairs.
That will also affect Zhang Chengqing.
They agreed, and they felt aggrieved again!
"I also came here sincerely. There is 50 yuan here. You also know the situation of my family. I borrowed a lot of money to make up the money. But don't worry, I will pay the money myself, and I will not let the boss pay it back."
Lao Guang Liu took out a lot of money and said.
Zhang's mother sneered, "Your son made my daughter's belly bigger, and the 50 yuan is gone?"
"mom!"
Zhang Chenghong stamped her feet.
"Shut up! Do you know that if you put this matter aside, you will be punished!"
Father Zhang wished he could give her a slap.
"Money, that's all we have. Most of the betrothal gifts in our village are only more than 30. I have already made up to [-]. Because our Liu family is in a loss. If you think it's not enough, then forget it."
Old Guang Liu stood up, "I will give this money to Chenghong. She can still decide to marry my son after taking the gift money. The big deal is not to have a banquet, but to be honest, even if you accept the gift money, you will still be married. If you don’t know how to arrange dinner for her, then it’s better to let her hold the money comfortably in her hands.”
"You are so unruly!"
"What kind of society is it now? Don't do what it used to be," Lao Guang Liu really gave Zhang Chenghong the money, and Zhang Chenghong looked at his parents with the money.
Zhang Ma said angrily, "If you take the money, you won't be our daughter in the future!"
"Yes! We all pretend we don't have your daughter!"
"Oh," Xiao Le leaned over, "It's a loss for you. My daughter doesn't recognize you, and you don't have a gift money, and you still owe me money. Then when will your family be able to marry a daughter-in-law?"
Thinking about it like this seems like a real loss.
After hearing this, the captain also frowned and said, "You two are married, not enemies."
The Zhang family turned pale. They forgot that the captain was here too. If it turned into a red belly, wouldn't it be...
Zhang Ma almost snatched the money from Zhang Chenghong, and then she gave the money to Xiao Le. Zhang Dad hurriedly asked Xiao Le to give him an IOU, and Xiao Le gave it.
Then Mama Zhang said to Lao Guang Liu, trembling her lips, "Our family has no money. We have no money to deal with Cheng Hong and Wei Jun. Let her clean it up, and you can take it home."
This is not a rare thing, for a very poor family, the girl wears her best clothes, carries a small bag, and then goes to her husband's house, and lives a good life.
Zhang Chenghong kowtowed to them a few times, went back to the room to tidy up, and left with Lao Guangliu and the others.
"Xiao Le, the accounts between us are also settled, and we will go our separate ways from now on." Father Zhang stared at Xiao Le, and Xiao Le nodded.
"If you need anything in the future, don't be polite. I don't want interest, just make an IOU."
Father Zhang only felt a headache.
"Captain, please don't say anything about today's matter. My family, Cheng Qing, hasn't married a wife yet."
Zhang Ma and Zhang Chengqing held the captain tightly.
The captain said helplessly, "I know, we will rot in our stomachs when we get out of this door."
Xiao Le walked behind the captain, and also said that he would not speak out. Before he could finish speaking, the courtyard door was closed.
Tsk, the one who borrowed money is the uncle.
Xiao Le touched the two bulging pockets with a smile on his face.
"How on earth did you tell them, why did you talk about going to jail?"
Just now the captain followed his words, now that I think about it, I'm really curious.
"I'm talking nonsense. If I don't pay back the money, I will let them go to jail. Then they don't work, and they always take advantage of others, just like the capitalists. When I say this, they are scared. Captain, thank you today, I will ask you another day You eat."
"When Xiao Mo comes back, I'll treat you brothers to dinner." The captain was also in a good mood, worried that Xiao Le would lend the money again, so he sent him home, and looked at Xiao's mother who was sick before leaving.
"He's only in his 30s, but he's already the team leader. This kid can't do it."
Mama Xiao sighed.
"Sister-in-law, Mom, this is the money that Zhang's family gave me after discounting it. It's two hundred in total." Xiao Le took out the money and put it on the table. There are relatively few, but they will pay back slowly.”
Looking at the money, the two were shocked.
Xiao's mother hurriedly asked Yang Xiuxiu to count it, and it was really 200 yuan!
"You did a good job, Xiao Le, you did a good job..."
Mama Xiao couldn't help but cry.
"What I'm most afraid of is that you are like your dead ghost father, caring about everything! You are doing very well, very well..."
"Mom, don't cry," Xiao Le hurried forward to wipe her tears, "Sister-in-law, you use this money to subsidize the family, and send some to my brother, so that he can eat something good and nourish his body."
Yang Xiuxiu always felt like he was dreaming, until he went to the town to send the money the next day, and when he took the list, he felt a little real.
However, Zhang Chenghong and Liu Weijun worked together the next day, with red cloth strips tied to the bowls in their hands. Only people in the village knew that Zhang and Liu were married.
When Laoguang Liu Le happily returned Xiao Le's 20 yuan, Xiao Le was still a little confused, "Do you still have money?"
"Tsk, my daughter-in-law is filial, she said that she has saved money for many years, let us return the bulk first, brother, thanks to you, otherwise my Weijun and Chenghong would definitely not be able to be together."
"I didn't do anything, besides, your guards really like to be popular, let him treat others better," Xiao Le said.
"That's for sure. If he dares to bully Cheng Hong, I will kick him out and I will lose my son!"
Lao Guang Liu was in good spirits on happy occasions. When the Zhang family went to work, everyone was startled first, and then they were startled by their haggard faces.
When someone asked about the marriage between the two families, they were also vague, and they didn't want to talk about it anyway.
Dad Zhang is not the kind of person who suffers. His repayment of the money was publicized by him everywhere, but Xiao Le forced him to give the money. As a result, Xiao Le said good things about him everywhere, saying that he was righteous, and the IOU was given. The money was also equivalent to food and paid back.
It made Zhang's father a person who didn't want to return things, and stealing chickens won't make money.
But the Zhang family paid back the money, and the Liu family gave back the bulk. The rest of the family also sent some vegetables and sweet potatoes to their door, expressing that they would pay back slowly.
Xiao's mother was happy, and her whole body became more energetic, and her condition gradually improved, but she had a serious heart disease.
And Xiao Shufen was brought back at the end of October.
She grew taller and thinner.
It's not that the Yang family abused her, it's because she had something on her mind and was thinking about her family, so she didn't gain weight.
"Second brother."
Xiao Shufen started to work when she got home, cleaned up the inside and outside of the house, and prepared meals. When Yang Xiuxiu and Xiao Le came back, she first greeted Yang Xiuxiu with a smile, and when she met Xiao Le, she said coldly .
"Ah, thinner and taller."
Xiao Le didn't mind either, it was the original owner who committed the crime.
Xiao Shufen hummed, sat beside Xiao Ma, and didn't talk to him much.
The biggest change when my sister came back was that there was someone to take care of her at home, so he and Yang Xiuxiu would not worry about the family anymore.
"Shufen," Xiao's mother lay on the bamboo chair, looking at her busy little daughter, "come and sit with mom."
"Mom, if you want to talk about the second brother, then you can leave it alone." Xiao Shufen continued busy without looking back, "When the eldest brother comes back, I must let him beat the second brother!"
"That's for sure," Xiao's mother smiled and waved at her, "Let's not talk about your second brother, let's talk about you."
"My business?"
Xiao Shufen raised her head vigilantly, and Xiao's mother hurriedly said, "What are you thinking, you treat me as your second brother!"
Xiao Shufen's expression relaxed a little now, "What can I do?"
"Of course you do. Don't you want to go on to school?"
"I'm already seventeen, what else do I study?"
Xiao Shufen couldn't laugh or cry.
"Why can't you, my girl Li is going to go next year."
"She's going?"
Xiao Shufen was taken aback, Li Daya was one year older than her.
"There are a lot of people as old as you now. Besides, the people at the Educated Youth Institute are all holding books and reading, explaining what, it means that studying is good. Your second brother came back after chasing part of the money and paid you the tuition fee. Is it enough?" Understand."
Xiao Shufen still hesitated.
But he didn't say no more.
"Xiao Le, there's not much work in the field these two days, let's go to the mountain to get something."
A young man pulled Xiao Le and said.
This man is called Chen Jianjun, with a lively nature, the same age as Xiao Le, and likes to go up the mountain to catch pheasants, and go down the river to fish for small fish.
"Okay," Xiao Le nodded, "I haven't been there for a long time, and I don't know how lucky I am."
"Then it's settled. I'll see you at the gate of Li San's house tomorrow morning."
"it is good."
Early the next morning, Xiao Le went to find Chen Jianjun and the others with a basket on his back. A group of five went up the mountain together.
"Why do you carry such a big backpack?"
Li San wondered.
"If I don't get anything, I can just pick up some firewood and go back."
Xiao Le said with a smile.
Chen Jianjun always feels that he has changed a lot. If he wants to say what has changed, he will smile more sincerely, and he will not often ask others what his family needs.
As soon as he entered the mountain, when Xiao Le bent down to tie his shoelaces, he saw a little mung bean eye.
He was startled, and so was the pheasant. Before he could run away, he was caught by Li San, who had quick eyes and quick hands!
"I said you are very lucky!"
Li San didn't want the pheasant, saying that Xiao Le saw it.
Xiao Le scratched his head, put the pheasant into the basket, and walked forward for about 10 minutes. He looked up to see the sunshine, but saw a large bee bag.
"Bee bag!"
Xiao Le yelled.
Everyone was very happy, this is a good thing!
But no one is wearing a hat, this thing stings!
"I come!"
Xiao Le picked up the stick and asked the others to hide, just to try their "luck".
