Chapter 373 Borrowing a House
Seeing Uncle Qin’s resentful look, Qin Xiaomi sneered: “Second Uncle, fifty taels is money that a poor family will never earn in a lifetime, and this is just for you during the Chinese New Year. There is enough for spending...Next month, let’s reduce it to ten taels. We farmers must not be extravagant or wasteful, otherwise we will ruin our character.”
Damn it!
Don't stop him, he's going to fight this girl to the death.
But Second Aunt Qin grabbed him and said, "Master, calm down and wait until after the New Year. I still have more than eighty taels of silver in my hand, let's spend it together."
Qin Xiaomi remained motionless, looking at Second Aunt Qin, and asked with concern: "Can Second Aunt hold Second Uncle down? If not, I can call someone to help, and I will keep Second Uncle pressed down like a dead pig." . "
"You damn girl cursed me again!" Second Uncle Qin was angry and struggled, but was tickled by Second Aunt Qin. He immediately lost his strength and was strangled by Second Aunt Qin and dragged out of the house. .
After a while, she ran back and said: "Mother-in-law, please give me your husband's bank note quickly."
"...Here." Grandma Qin was stunned.
"Thank you, mother-in-law." After Aunt Qin got the banknote, she hurried out of the main room and dragged Uncle Qin back to the right wing.
Second Uncle Qin was cursing in the room, but Qin Xiaomi ignored him and stared at Qin Xiaogu, after deducting the dividends from the second bedroom, and then said to Grandma Qin: "Grandma, there are fifty-two households of Uncle Second's household, please always remember to give us more." Don’t skimp on the meat and vegetables.”
"Okay, grandma will remember it." Grandma Qin is not a stingy person. She only wants one thing from Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, he is your biological uncle. Grandma just wants you to live in harmony and not to break up."
"Grandma, don't worry, I'm measured." Qin Xiaomi said, took his share of the banknote, pinched Qin Xiaomai's face, and said with a smile: "Mai is not afraid, our family will only get better and better, and it will not collapse."
Qin Xiaomai was so young that when he saw them quarreling, he was so frightened that he burst into tears. After listening to it, he felt relieved and nodded: "Well, don't be afraid of Xiaomai. Xiaomai will celebrate the New Year happily."
Ha, Qin Xiaomi smiled: "Well, starting tomorrow, we will fry the New Year meat. , write Spring Festival couplets, and celebrate the New Year.”
...
Maybe it was the Chinese New Year, and Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao and his family were so excited that they got up before dawn the next day, the 24th of the twelfth lunar month.
Sweeping the snow and having breakfast, we gathered again at Qin Xiaomi's house to share rice cakes and steamed buns; fried radish meatballs, fried meatballs, fried meat slices, fried fish nuggets, and killed chickens.
Put the killed chicken in the snow and freeze it. When you want to eat it, just chop it into pieces and stew it.
On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, several families gathered together to make New Year dumplings.
After making money, he was so powerful that he made both meat and vegetable dumplings. There were too many people, so several families got up early to make dumplings.
The servants got up before dawn to prepare vegetables and chop dumpling fillings.
By the time I was busy in the morning, I had already made more than a hundred dumplings.
Grandma Qin packed two baskets of various New Year's goods, including dumplings, as well as some raw meat and lettuce, and called Aunt Xu and Su: "Go call Cunquan and Sanjun and ask them to Hurry up and deliver the things to Secretary Guan.”
Due to the snow, Secretary Guan was trapped in the Secretary’s Square. Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin were thinking of Secretary Guan’s kindness and were afraid that he would starve. Give him food.
"Hey, let's go shout now." The two of them hurriedly left.
After a while, Qin Cunquan and Xu Sanjun came over.
Grandpa Qin looked at the sky and called Jiang Dalang. After tying up the donkey cart, he went to the shabby warehouse and loaded a donkey cart full of dry firewood. I went back to Qin's house and asked Grandma Qin to add another basket of rice, noodles, meat, vegetables and meat and oil.
Second Uncle Qin felt heartbroken when he saw this: "Dad, dad, what are you doing? Even if Guan Shuli has helped our family, you don't need to subsidize us like this, right?"
"Our family has added more Sir, there are forty people who need to eat. If you send so many things out, what will we eat if there is a heavy snowstorm in the first month? Are we going to starve to death?”
Grandpa Qin said: "Don't say such nasty things. Don't worry, our family has enough food to last until February."
Well, stewed soybeans and some salt can also feed a person, there is no need to eat steamed buns every time. Served with stir-fried vegetables.
Grandpa Qin called to Jiang Dalang again: "Dalang, let's go after you're dressed. The road is slippery, don't drive, let's lead the donkey cart." "Hey." Jiang Dalang responded, went in specially, and said to Qin Xiaomi said: "Xiao Mi, Grandpa Qin and I went to Si Lifang. We will be back in the afternoon at the latest."
In his previous life, he rarely told her every time he went out, so there were misunderstandings. The two had cold wars several times.
He also thought about changing it, but he was an emperor, born with arrogance, and his safety was related to the entire dynasty, so his whereabouts had to be a mystery. As a result, he did not change it until the day he died.
In this life, he has changed.
Unfortunately, Qin Xiaomi was not moved at all, and thought he was annoying, so he said impatiently: "Stop being so annoying, you can leave quickly."
"Hey." Although he was scolded, But Jiang Dalang was still very happy...because he made Susu know where he had been and what he had done.
"Ferocious girl." Second Uncle Qin scolded Qin Xiaomi, and then dragged Jiang Dalang: "I'm going too, I haven't been to the town yet, please wait for me!"
After saying that, he ran back to the house to change into leather boots.
After he changed, Grandpa Qin took them, Zhu Xuemou and Yao Dayan with him to the town.
The snow was thick and I didn’t dare to drive a car. I didn’t arrive in town until noon.
Guan Shuli was nesting in the Secretary's Square, sorting out the old accounts of Taifeng Town. Hearing his subordinate Youyu say that the Qin family was coming, he was slightly stunned, and came out to greet him wearing a thick cloak.
After seeing Grandpa Qin personally pulling two donkey carts, he was shocked: "Village Chief Qin, what do you mean?"
Grandpa Qin said with a smile: "It's snowing. I learned that Secretary Guan hadn't returned to the county seat yet. I was afraid that Secretary Guan would have no food, so he sent two carts of things."
He added: "Shu Li The official can give you money to buy these things."
After hearing this, the official Guan Shuli felt relieved and said with a smile: " Thank you to Village Chief Qin for traveling a long way to deliver the supplies."
He then called to them: "Village Chief Qin, Brother Jiang, and Aquan, please sit in the house while you can move the things."
< br>"Hey." The few of them felt the cold wind all the way, and they couldn't bear it now, so they readily agreed.
But not long after sitting, I suddenly saw a flying horse galloping towards me and stopping outside the gate of Si Lifang courtyard.
"Xu Xu!" Youxing reined in the reins, turned over and dismounted, stood outside the gate of Si Lifang, raised his hands and shouted: "Young man, I have the honor to pay my respects to the uncle. Is he here?"
Guan When the clerk heard this, he responded: "Here."
Guan Shuli said to Grandpa Qin and others, got up and walked out. When he saw someone Afterwards, he asked: "Didn't I ask you to go home and protect your grandmother? Why did you come here suddenly? But my grandmother doesn't trust me?"
Fortunately, I got off my horse, saluted Secretary Guan, nodded and said: "If I tell you, the old lady is really worried about you... The old lady came in person and said she wanted to celebrate the New Year with you."
What?
Secretary Guan frowned and asked: "Seriously?"
Youxun said: "I don't dare to lie... The old lady's carriage has almost reached the east entrance of the town."
This?
Guan Shuli was speechless for a while, but he believed it because his grandmother became more and more naughty as she got older. She could really do something like this when she suddenly came to the countryside to celebrate the New Year with him.
It's just...
"It's snowy and slippery. It's too dangerous to come here like this. Why don't you try to persuade me?"
Fortunately, I lowered my head and replied: "I have advised you, but I have People just don’t listen.”
Perhaps she followed too many rules when she was young, but now the old lady doesn’t want to follow any rules at all, and does whatever comes to her mind.
Guan Shuli sighed: "That's all, lead the way, I will pick up grandma."
