Chapter 16 Old things
Xu Xiaomi walked behind her father with a heavy pannier on her back.My father didn't take it easy. Although it wasn't heavy, he carried a large pile of cotton on his shoulders.

Xu Xiaomi wished he had a car.Thinking this way, when she suddenly remembered, she saw a bullock cart pulling people at the gate of the city.

I don't know if people are willing to help them make a trip.However, she wanted to ask.

So she said to her father, "Father! Let's go to the gate of the city to find an ox cart! You might not be able to put your hands down if you carry it home like this!"

"You child, I'm fine, don't waste money. Let's go back, or if you are tired and wait for the car alone, I will go first."

Where is Xu Erqiang willing to spend money to rent a car?How much will it cost?A lot of money has been spent on shopping today.

If you rent a car and go back, can't you spend all the money you sold today?Still don't want it!

Xu Xiaomi doesn't know what her father thinks, she only knows that there are people who can have everything.So she said to her father.

"Father, you are the pillar of our family, you are our reliance, if you can't take care of yourself, how can you take care of us?

You will really hurt your arm if you hold it like this, and it only costs a few dollars to rent a bullock cart.Who will protect our mothers if your hand is hurt?

We can earn money without money, but without hands, what are you going to use to give our mother a good life?Dad, you just agree!Father! "

"All right!"

It's not that Xu Erqiang doesn't understand what Xu Xiaomi said, it's just that he has lived a poor life for decades, and he is used to being poor and afraid of being poor.

However, since his daughter said so and he couldn't talk to her, he could only reluctantly agree.

Seeing that his father agreed, Xu Xiaomi said.

"Then let's go to the grocery store to buy salt first, and you can rest there for a while, and I will find a car at the gate of the city to pick you up."

Speaking of having come to the grocery store where Xu Xiaomi bought salt last time, Xu Xiaomi went in and put down the pannier on his back, and asked Xu Erqiang to put the cotton in the pannier.

Xu Xiaomi bought three catties of salt from the boss with ease, and saw that there was a wooden comb in the shop.It occurred to her that the comb she had used to comb her hair in the morning was no longer working.So she bought another wooden comb and spent fifteen Wen.

Xu Erqiang saw that Xu Xiaomi spent so much money today and realized that there are too many things that they need to buy at home.

You can't blame the children for spending money indiscriminately!She didn't buy snacks, and she didn't buy makeup powder. If the things she bought were in rich people's homes, she should have bought them long ago.

After Xu Erqiang figured it out, he didn't feel bad about spending money on renting a car.

After buying something, Xu Xiaomi greeted the owner of the grocery store and his father, and then went to the gate of the city to find a car.The owner of the grocery store saw where Xu Erqiang was standing alone, so he gave him a stool for him to sit on.

Xu Xiaomi walked out of the grocery store and walked quickly to the gate of the city, and saw a bullock cart parked there.The people who went to the market early to buy things are still in the market, and the bullock carts will be more nervous after those people finish shopping.

So, when Xu Xiaomi walked over to ask, the old man who drove the car agreed immediately, and went for fifteen cents.Xu Xiaomi is not expensive after all.Besides, today is the 29th of the Lunar New Year, so it is understandable even if people charge a little more.

Xu Xiaomi sat on the bullock cart and asked the old man to go to the grocery store, and took him back with the goods.

When Xu Erqiang saw Xu Xiaomi coming in a bullock cart, he hurriedly loaded things into the cart.After the things were put away, Xu Erqiang also got into the car.

Now that he has a car, Xu Xiaomi makes another trip to Chen's Grain and Oil Shop.This time, he had a lot of money. Xu Xiaomi bought 760 catties of white rice, [-] catties of white noodles and [-] catties of black noodles.It took another [-] texts, and this time Xu Xiaomi took out all copper coins.

These copper plates were changed at the bank when she was just looking for a car. She asked someone to exchange the five taels of silver for four one taels of silver and twelve hundred copper coins.

Xu Xiaomi had already thought that if he bought rice noodles with five taels of silver, his father would definitely attract attention. His father is a simple and honest person.He can't protect the money.Her own body is too small, so she changed it and took some change to be safe.

After the bullock cart slowly swayed for about an hour, Xu Xiaomi and his daughter finally arrived home.

Because, when passing the village entrance before noon, many people saw Xu Xiaomi and his daughter sitting on the bullock cart with many things beside them.

At that time, someone asked Xu Erqiang: "Er Qiang? Your family has been selling products for so many years? Can you finish eating?"

Xu Xiaomi saw that the person who asked the question was not a good person.However, my father was an honest man and answered directly.

"Auntie, look at what you said, there are five of us in our family! We want to eat every day! How much food do we have to eat this year? Is this enough to fill the teeth?"

The woman who asked the question waited for their car to go far away, pursed her mouth.

Just happened to be seen by Xu Erqiang's sister-in-law Wen Xiuniang, and asked with a smile, "Oh! Aunt Wu, what are you doing? Who offended you?"

"Hey! What are you talking about, Mrs. Wen? I'm just worrying about it!"

"What's the matter? I want you to worry about it?" Wen Xiuniang asked with a smile deliberately, she also knew that the old woman and her mother-in-law would not pay.

She didn't dare to talk to this aunt before.

Because, at that time, she was afraid of her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law treated her well after she gave birth to her son Xu Bao.

Every day, she only needs to cook the family's meals, and Xu Erqiang, his wife and two sisters-in-law will do the rest.She never worked in the fields.She also has a good relationship with her mother-in-law.

Since both mother-in-law and husband-in-law don't want to see this person, she should try to talk to her as little as possible, so as not to upset her mother-in-law.

However, it is different now!Since Xu Erqiang and his wife separated, she had to go to work in the fields every day like the two sister-in-laws.The mother-in-law also often quarrels with her because she is lazy.She hated the old beggar now.

She really hoped that the old beggar at home would die soon.When she's dead, no one will keep picking on her.

The old beggar who is celebrating the New Year will not let her buy a few feet of cloth to make a new coat.She originally wanted to go back to her natal family for the New Year, but the old beggar didn't agree.

He also said: "I go back to my natal family every year. What benefits does your natal family give you? You see, the second child's family hasn't returned to her natal home for several years."

So, she wanted to have a good relationship with this Aunt Wu.Forget about pissing off the old beggar.

"Who else? Of course it's Erqiang's family! Their family only has two acres of Susukida, and they don't even have enough to eat, so they don't know where the money came from? Just now, they bought a big cart of New Year's goods. Don't your family have thirty acres of land? What? Didn't I see you sell a carload of New Year's goods?" Wu Shi asked Wen Xiuniang with a smile on her face, blinking her eyes.

"What? I'm not in charge of the family, so I don't know how many years I have been doing. I still have a lot of things to do at home! Aunt Wu, you are busy, so I'll go first!" Wen Xiuniang hurried back in a hurry.

This Xu family village is full of people with the surname Xu.This Wu family is Xu Erqiang's cousin's wife.

She is a well-known gossip woman in Xujia Village.All day long, he chatted with some bored women in the village.

Therefore, many people in the village hate her.Especially Xu Erqiang's mother, since the villagers found out that Mrs. Wang had sold her own granddaughter.From time to time, when the two quarreled, she would say something angry with Wang in front of Wang.

What about "Who is capable of you? Even your own granddaughter sells you, but you don't know that your heart is made of flesh?"

"Aren't you afraid that your ancestors will crawl out of their graves and arrest you?"

"You did such a wicked thing, and after you die, the King of Hades will also send you to the eighteenth level of hell?"

"..."

In short, she will say whatever is unpleasant.There is only one reason why she did this. When Xu Erqiang's wife, Zhou Yuqing, was a girl, both of them fell in love with her.

But she was the only one who said it out, and even praised Zhou Yuqing in front of Mrs. Wang.He said how beautiful the girl is and how hardworking she is, and said that the Zhou family has only one daughter and four sons, and there will definitely be a lot of dowry when they get married.

Can Mrs. Wang hear this?So, I went to find a matchmaker overnight to propose marriage to the Zhou family.When Mrs. Wu took the matchmaker with the betrothal gift.The Zhou family said that her daughter was already engaged.

At that time, Mrs. Wu thought it was because she was better than her family and fell in love with other girls.I didn't care either.

It wasn't until Xu Erqiang got married that she realized that the person who was one step ahead of her was actually her cousin.

At that time, she was so angry that she almost went to fight with Wang Shi.This feud is over.

From then on, she would intervene in all major and minor matters concerning Wang Shi and Xu Erqiang.

Seeing that Xu Erqiang's family has brought goods back for so many years today, I feel unbalanced.Immediately seeing the person I was looking for, the sour water in my heart burst out immediately.
