997. Long years (14) three in one(2/3)
For this, brother, two dollars is enough.
You definitely don’t need to buy meat and other things during the Chinese New Year, but what about food? Many people’s production teams have divided the food and paid off the debt they owed for the whole year. Once the debt is repaid, the family will definitely have no food. If they don’t borrow food from the Jin family, it will be
We know that the Jin family has just enough food to eat this year, so they must be rich. These people still think that it is not difficult to be a good person, and they borrow money instead of food. In fact, food is easy to pay back, but living money is not easy for farmers.
earn.
Two yuan can buy less than ten kilograms of grain for more than 20 cents.
People say that wherever you can afford grain, you can buy wheat bran.
Old Man Jin quickly said, "Let's haul fifty pounds of corn first, celebrate the New Year first, and then talk about the New Year!"
The old couple have money in their hands, five yuan a month, which was given by the fourth child. Is it a little? It’s a lot! Two or three yuan is enough for them to live comfortably with the old man and the fifth child. The rest really don’t dare
Huo Huo, there are so many favors. The three girls on my side and their children have all reached the age of starting a family. The old woman has more relatives on her natal side, and her nephews are all older. In addition, the old man’s age is there.
Leave it alone, maybe one day I won't be able to open my eyes anymore. I can no longer push this funeral to my sons. He must be able to bury his father. Learn the old lady's lesson and get over it.
Before the busy farming season in the spring of next year, he thought about preparing clothes and longevity materials for the old man in advance. This all costs money.
The land will not be divided next year, but as soon as the summer grain is harvested, the crop will be picked up and the grain will be lent out neatly.
Once this opening was opened, it was incredible. Sixty-seven percent of the thirty-fifty-jin item was borrowed out.
There were also those who were planning to marry their daughters and daughters-in-law during the first month of the year, and all they borrowed was money. Many of them were borrowed from little old ladies.
Anyway, in the past few days before the year, the Fourth Master had lent out more than 100 yuan, whether it was one, two, three or five yuan.
Don't say that those who don't have money think it's difficult to celebrate the New Year. In the eyes of others, rich people don't think it's too difficult to celebrate the New Year.
Each has its own difficulties.
The market days in Ping'an Town are on the 4th and 10th, but the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month is an extra gathering. This gathering has been passed down from ancient times to the present, and is also known as the "Poor People's Meeting".
Why is it called a poor society?
Those who have money have prepared all the New Year's goods early, but those who can't afford to celebrate the New Year can only find ways to spend some money at the end of the year to buy things at the gathering.
When Su Xiaoqin came over, she called Lin Yutong, "Let's go to the market together?"
Nothing happened. The fourth master went to help someone else. Whose family in the alley was marrying their son a wife and painting the house on the fourth day of the first lunar month. They had helped them, so if they had something to do, the fourth master had to go there, even if it was
If people don't let you work, you have to go around and beat them.
Lin Yutong simply went along. The meeting was on the street at the entrance of the alley, which was very convenient for her doorstep.
When he went out, he called Yingzi again, "Are you going?"
Yingzi also wants to go. She has been very shy recently. The other day, she saw someone selling braised hare legs on the street. She was so greedy that she bought one for 50 cents. She didn't dare to eat it on the street for fear of what others would say.
The daughter-in-law was so greedy that her parents-in-law didn't eat anything at home, so she ate it by herself. She packed it in oil paper and came back to eat it secretly. When Lin Yutong confronted her, she said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."
For you to eat, this is rabbit meat..."
Aren't pregnant women not allowed to eat rabbit meat? They said the baby must have three-petal mouth. She couldn't help it, so she ate half of it and put it in a bowl next to the stove. She felt guilty. If this was really a child
What can be done if there is a problem?
Lin Yutong said it was okay, but even Yingzi did not dare to give it to her. "After I ate it, I quickly dug my throat with chopsticks and spit out most of it. What if..."
After talking to Lin Yutong, she still felt that it was not okay. Men should not know about this matter. It was originally reserved for men, but now it is not given to men anymore. It is secretly sent to the old man and asked to eat it. "Don't say that I bought it."
Yes, grandpa."
The old man doesn't care about that. He can't see it, so just give it to us and eat it.
Yingzi agreed happily.
Yingzi was worried and came to warn Lin Yutong, "Don't tell anyone. Let your second brother know. If this child really has a problem in the future, how will I explain it to others?"
So the two sisters kept this secret. No matter what Lin Yutong said, she felt as if she had eaten a fly and felt sick when she thought about it.
Inviting Yingzi to go to the gathering, Lin Yutong said: "Let's see if anyone has any fruit in stock and buy a few."
When Yingzi heard this, he turned over two dollars and walked out.
When Lao Wu heard the noise and came out, he called Yingzi "Second Sister" and then stretched out his hand: "Second Sister, give me fifty cents, I can use it."
Lin Yutong is not often at home, and does not have much contact with Lao Wu. In addition, he looks powerful, so he does not ask her for it, but Guan Yingzi does. Such an old brother-in-law wants money, so he cannot be embarrassed. Besides, Yingzi is very important to Lao Wu.
That's great. I gave it to them when I asked for it. I just thought it was saving money for the two old people.
Before Yingzi said anything when she came out of the house, Su Xiaoqin said, "Second sister-in-law, you have such a good temper. Whose brother-in-law would ask my sister-in-law for money?"
Yingzi laughed: "How can we tell the difference so clearly?"
Lin Yutong knew why Yingzi gave it, and Lao Wu was willing to put in the effort. When Yingzi was washing at home, Lao Wu fetched water and did not ask his second sister to do any heavy work. Yingzi felt that Lao Wu knew what was good, even if it was to eat
It's a bit of a loss, and I can sleep well at night even though I've had a loss.
In the words of Fourth Master, where can there be such justice in this world?
As for the second brother and his wife, they always have the attitude of being willing to suffer a little loss when dealing with others. So when I went out to ask, everyone said that these two couples are good. If the second brother has something to do, hundreds of people can come with just a shout.
This is not unreasonable.
People are selfish. The more you take advantage of, the less you really suffer. If you don't care about small things, people will naturally reach out to you in big things.
That's the truth.
Everyone has their own principles of doing things, it doesn't matter whether they are good or bad.
Therefore, Lin Yutong never talks too much.
The three of them walked out and met Li Xian'er who was returning from a visit to someone's house. Su Xiaoqin said first, "Sister-in-law, go to the market!"
"I'm not going!" Li Xian'er said with a high profile, "These are all things prepared for poor people, what's the good point? Why are you running away?!"
Anyone who hears this feels uncomfortable.
Who dares to say that they are rich nowadays?!
Su Xiaoqin retorted, "We are all poor people. If we don't go to this poor man's house to buy it, we can't afford it at other places."
Seriously! Life in the Su family is decent and good. The two older brothers above are both married, and she is the only girl in the family. Her parents have nothing to do with her. She has one egg a day, and she has been eating it since she was a child.
The spread of strange things in eight villages in ten miles.
Li Xian'er couldn't reply to the retort, her head was bowed slightly, and she walked forward with her eyes turned up to look at people.
This atmosphere made Yingzi and Lin Yutong very embarrassed.
As a result, Peach Blossom Girl's married daughter Yuan Gaidi came out from the opposite door. This man was very good at talking, "...it doesn't matter what the poor can do or what the rich can do, today's things must be cheap. After today, some things can still be put into next year."
Go? Let’s go, Xian’er, let’s go together, isn’t it cheap to pick up things!”
Li Xian'er followed the trend and followed him, "Let's see if there's anything cheap."
Brother Yuan Gai talked to Lin Yutong, "When Tong goes to work now, he doesn't see him often."
She married into this village, but not in a group, but in a group. They lived not far away. There were several alleys outside the city wall. They were the Xincheng alleys built in the early years. He Xiaowan's natal family lived there. It was about ten minutes' walk away.
All arrived.
The daughter of Taohua's mother-in-law, she is only in her twenties now, only a few years older than Lin Yutong, and she has been playing with her since she was a child.
Lin Yutong laughed: "You don't come back often. Just ask me, Peach Blossom, how annoying it is to see me every day."
Brother Yuan Gai also laughed: "Okay! Then I'll come and bother you when I'm fine."
There were several people together, and when we walked out of the alley, we were in a crowded market, so we were speechless.
Wandering around on the street, what is for sale? There are very few things. They are all home-grown eggs and chickens. Some people are anxious for money, so they also take out the food they receive from home. There is a fruit tree in the yard.
Yes, they have all been taken out now. There are basically no fruits, only things like dates and walnuts. Some are in a basket, and some are in half a basket.
I'm thinking of having a confinement period next year and not paying much attention to anything else, but I should buy some dates.
She picked up half a basket of dates and bought them for one dollar and two.
In Su Xiaoqin's opinion, this is all a waste of money.
In fact, Lin Yutong wanted to buy some eggs and chickens, mainly for the little old lady, whether it was making soup or eating anything. Now that there are so many people, it is not easy to buy. In the end, he still found a chance to pretend
After being crowded out by others, I went back to buy a basket of eggs and three native chickens from a stall, and then asked someone to deliver them to the little old lady.
She followed the vendor at a short distance, and it wasn't until she knocked on the little old lady's door that Lin Yutong felt relieved.
The little old lady felt extremely warm in her heart, and she secretly scolded her granddaughter for being stupid, who could not see her coming in like this? Who could have guessed who bought it for her?
Didn't the delivery person just deliver the goods and asked at the door, "Did Tong buy it?"
"Grandma Tong sent it to me," the little old lady could only say. "The child was sent to me with the benefits from his uncle's factory. Isn't this the new son-in-law who has to come to visit this year..."
When the new son-in-law returns to his father-in-law's house for the first time, he will be rich.
This man seemed to understand, and sighed, it is better to do business.
Someone who works for the public servant. This abbreviation actually sounds a bit awkward.
Lin Yutong walked in with jujubes, but her mother-in-law still couldn't help but ask: "...Can that thing be used as food?"
When her mother-in-law said it, she talked back thousands of times, so Lin Yutong just smiled: "There are also some for colleagues."
