Chapter 24 The nagging Comrade Liu Xiao'e
"How much did it cost?" Liu Xiao'e was nervous. She didn't know how much something like soft gold could be sold for.
Lin Shu pursed her lips and chuckled, took out a few wads of unity from the sack, and placed them directly in front of Comrade Liu Xiaoe. Instead of telling her how much they sold for, it would be more intuitive and shocking to directly display them.
"Hiss!"
Liu Xiao'e was so excited that she wanted to count how much money she had, but found that her hands were trembling and could not do anything, so she simply asked: "How much money does this have?" How much?”
Seeing his mother's excited look, Lin Shuxiao's eyebrows widened, "550 yuan."
"Wow! I have never seen so much money in my life, let alone that it now belongs to our family. "Yeah." Liu Xiao'e covered her mouth exaggeratedly, her eyes full of excitement.
"Sanghuang sold for 610. I found someone in the county to exchange some tickets and spent some on shopping. These are the remaining tickets. Mom, keep them." Lin Shu smiled and said A few wads of money bills were pushed in front of Liu Xiao'e.
Liu Xiao'e was really holding a few stacks of bills, and she was so excited that she said: "With so much money, your third brother doesn't have to worry about finding a wife. His image of being a slut and a slut is so good when the bride price is so generous." In some cases, there will also be women I'm willing to marry you.
You have a share of this money. If the news about your generous dowry is released, I don't believe that Mrs. Jie will still dislike you. She will definitely come to you after hearing the news. You are hired.
And your eldest nephew is seventeen, so it’s time to find someone to look for. Look at a few houses, and you can settle on one if you find the right one. The annual school tuition for the second child’s children also costs a lot.”< br>
Nagging, the parents are short-tempered, but this is also the current situation of the Lin family, which is indeed difficult.
“Mom, I have emphasized many times that it is impossible for me to reconcile Chunlei, how can you still tie me to him. Together? Besides, the girl you chase is worthless, and others will not cherish her. "
Lin Shu had a headache. According to Liu Xiao'e's old concept, Xie Chunlei, who had a job, was the best son-in-law candidate from all over the country.
On the surface she agreed, but in fact she couldn't let go. He solved the family's marriage contract and wanted her to "renew their relationship" with him.
Liu Xiao'e suppressed her excitement and her eyes were a little moist, "I don't understand this truth. It's just that there is no better young man than Chun Lei in our country. If you don't look for him, who can you look for?"
"No. I won't look for something better. When I find something better, a marriage that is more suitable for me will naturally happen. I can't rush this kind of thing, so I just have to live together, and it's a life of chickens and chickens all day long. Wouldn't it be even worse?" Lin Shu persuaded her earnestly.
She had a momentary delusion. The roles of the two seemed to be reversed. She was the rational mother, while Xiao Liu'e was the love-minded girl.
Liu Xiao'e thought what she said was reasonable and nodded: "I won't mention him next time."
"Well, that's right. Hurry up and collect the money and wait. Don’t let anyone look at it, it’s hard to explain.”
"Yes, yes, I'll hide it right now."
After a long while, Comrade Liu Xiao'e came out of the bedroom where she and Lin Dashan were staying. Lin Shu pointed to the two sacks he picked back.
“I bought a lot of things this time, please share it with me later.”
After hiding the money, Liu Xiaoe felt relieved, and then she remembered that the supplies in the sack were still there. Didn't clean it out.
“Let me see what good things you bought back.”
"Hey, why did you buy so many pairs of shoes? You do wholesale!"
"Ouch, where did you get the cloth tickets for so much cloth?"
"Damn! This white flour It's really white flour, is it different from the black flour we grind ourselves? And these rice grains? Obviously, they are all high-end goods!”
“Young lady, you still have the candy you bought last time. Why did you buy so much candy again?”
Liu Xiao’e just said I am so excited that my heart aches. This is so wasteful. Lin Shu watched the change in the expression on her face. It was so rich. After buying so many supplies, she felt a sense of accomplishment.
“It’s been a long time since my family has bought shoes, so it’s not too much to buy a pair for everyone.”
“Jiefang shoes are now popular in the city. The shoes are waterproof and wear-resistant, and a pair can last for several years. No problem. If you buy these cloth shoes, you might as well make them yourself. Strong."
Lin Shu shook his head: "Comrade Liu Xiao'e, please stop looking for trouble. According to our family's conditions, if everyone in the family suddenly has a pair of Jiefang shoes, will it be eye-catching in the village?"
Cloth shoes are different, rural people can make them themselves.
Liu Xiao'e listened without saying a word and pointed to the cloth: "The size of each piece of cloth you pulled is enough to make a suit of clothes. Don't waste it."
"It's just a lot more. I left it when I pulled the cloth. There’s room, and the extra fabric can be used to make some pants or something.”
"Let's not talk about all this. Why did you buy such good rice and noodles? Isn't this a waste of food? If we replace these refined grains with coarse grains, we can exchange for more grains. Why do you kid? Don’t know how to run a household?”
Forgive me!
Lin Shu stroked her forehead, "Comrade Liu Xiao'e, don't be born into blessings and don't know your blessings. It's rare for me to be willing to spend money on your daughter for my family. Others are expecting my daughter to come back after shopping, but you can't." Still disgusted? ”
Liu Xiao'e, who was chattering non-stop: "."
Lin Shu rode a bicycle for several hours, which caused muscle fatigue, especially his legs were sore and swollen. Knowing that there was hot water in the kitchen, he took the hot water with him water to wash up with.
Liu Xiao'e waited until Lin Shu could no longer be seen, then happily put away the brown sugar on the table. This is a good thing. Women can drink it in a bowl during confinement and menstruation to replenish blood and warm the body.
"Mom, what are you so happy about?"
As soon as Lin entered the door, he noticed that the smile on his mother's face had never fallen. After thinking about it for a moment, he asked, "Is Lin Shu back? ”
Liu Xiao'e stuffed two pieces of firewood into the earthen stove. When she saw that the water in the pot was already steaming, she turned around and told Lin Gang: "Take a small handful of mugwort leaves hanging on the wall, break them off and put them into the pot."
"Why make moxa leaf water when you have nothing to do? It makes the kitchen smell bad." Although Lin Gang said he disliked it, he still obeyed and took the moxa leaves, broke them and threw them into the pot.
Liu Xiao'e patted two pieces of ginger and put them into the water, "What do you know? Your little sister has been traveling all day today, and her legs will definitely be sore at night. I'll boil a pot of mugwort leaf water and wait for her to wake up. Soaking your feet can relieve the pain, and you will feel better tomorrow.”
Lin Gang was excited when he heard this, "Mom, you take such good care of my little sister, is it possible that that stinky girl really got the money back?"
"Do you think she is as out of character as you? Help me light the fire quickly and I’ll wash the rice.”
"The fire is too hot, I can't stand it."
"Then help me feed the pigs!"
Lin Gang was still unwilling and made another excuse, "I don't know how to chop pigs. Grass."
The smile on Liu Xiao'e's face dropped and she glared. And Shi said, "Then you carry water. The water tank at home is out of water. Didn't you see?"
Lin Gang's face fell, "Mom, I've been working for a day, and you can't Let me take a break, why do you have to find something for me to do?”
"The few work points you earn every day are not as good as those of your elder sister-in-law and your second sister-in-law. You have the nerve to say that you have worked for a day and cheated and cheated for a day."
Liu Xiao'e nodded his forehead, "You said You, you are such an old man, why don’t you know how to see things and do things? You have to make arrangements for you every time. You don’t know how to use your eyes. Be smart and go pick it up when you see there is no water in the water tank!”
Lin Gang’s ears buzzed from the nagging, and he raised his hands in despair: “Stop, mom, stop nagging, it’s like chanting sutras, nagging!” I have a headache, shall I go fetch water?”
