Chapter 55 Life gets better
Since Xia Yuying passed by, Liu Manzhi began to curse next door, cursing when she entered and when she came out.
In the evening, every household moved the table out to eat and enjoy the cool air in the Dagu Field. Xia Chongping came back from the field, went to the pond to take a shower, and also moved the table out.
Xiuqing and Jincheng had not finished half of the melon, so they put the melon on the corner of the table and dig the remaining half. Xia Qing cut the clean melon peel on it, "Eat less, there will be steamed meat later."
In the morning, Lu Qiuju not only bought meat, but also bought two crucian carp weighing more than half a pound, and stewed gourd soup with meat. The steamed meat was made of potatoes, and a total of four dishes were served.
Everyone passing by was amazed, "Sister Ju, why is life so good today?"
Xia Chongping took out half a pound of wine that he couldn't bear to drink during the Chinese New Year, poured a glass, picked a piece of steamed meat and ate it, took a sip of wine, and laughed, "It's worth the light of my daughter, and the light of my family!"
Xia Yuying returned without success, and after noon, she returned in the sun.
Liu Qunzhen came over with a bowl and looked at the dishes on Xia Qing's table, "Oh, why do you eat such a good dish? Have you picked up money? Qing'er, where did you pick up the money? Tell me, second aunt, too, I'll pick up some."
"You heard from your brother, where will she, a child, go to pick up money?" Lu Qiuju said unhappily.
"Qing'er, your golden ring is lost. You picked it up and sold it, right? Your family has made a lot of money. They are buying watermelons and eating meat, and preparing to build a new house. That ring is not for you. If you pick it up, you have to give it one for Shuangqing."
"I don't have a golden ring to pick up milk. Didn't my aunt leave? Why don't you ask if that ring was given to my aunt? I said it was lost. I put it on my ears and my milk ears were not missing. How could I lose it?"
"Then where did you get the money for eating meat? You also bought this big watermelon to eat. This watermelon is at least ten kilograms, right?"
"Fifteen kilograms, I picked the largest one. When I eat watermelon, I must be picking the largest one. Big watermelon is sweet." Xia Qing said with a smile, "Aunt, the one you bought is too small. Is the pulp ripe? Ours is so sweet, with lots of water, and it is very delicious."
"Where did your money come from?"
"My dad earns, won't my dad make money? My milk always says that my dad is incompetent. I think the second uncle is the one who is incompetent. He is lazy at home every day and doesn't work in the fields, and it won't even be well planted in the fields."
"Qing'er, what you said is about my aunt!" Liu Qunzhen slapped her legs suddenly, "Come on, let me give you a piece of steamed meat to my aunt."
"That won't work! My mother cut the meat big, and a piece of meat is almost one or two. If you want to eat it, you can buy it yourself!"
"This kid is really damn!" Liu Qunzhen twisted her butt and walked towards her house, scolding Xia Tongping, "If you don't die, why can't you sleep to death? She smokes all day long, just like a chimney!"
Xia Tongping was scolded so hard that he had to get up and go to Liu Manzhi. Liu Manzhi happened to cook the meal, and he sat down. Liu Manzhi poured him a glass of wine, "She scolds you, won't you hit her? She scolds you every day, you don't know if you're scolded by her every day, but I'm not worth it for you. I'll hold you in my palm, you're good to be a fool for her!"
"Mom, my elder brother said he wanted to get a house and bought three fish ponds. Where did he get the money?"
Xia Tongping knew that the two golden rings on Liu Manzhi's ears were not worth so much, and the purity was not high. It was just a little thin, at most worth three or four hundred yuan.
"I don't know, how can I know? What's wrong with him? When did he tell me?" Liu Manzhi thought for a while, "The fish pond is in Zaokou Town. Maybe it's Qiuju's elder brother who helped you. Who asked you to marry such a dilapidated house? I can't count on anyone and I will stick to that bottomless pit all day long."
The bottomless cave talks about Liu Qunzhen's mother's family. In addition to the two girls, there is also a younger brother who can't help. A few days ago, I heard that the little girl slept with the older girl's in-laws' brother-in-law, and the two families fought.
In Xia Chongping's words, the inheritance of Liu Qunzhen's mother, from Liu Qunzhen's mother to herself, and a few girls, can write a book.
After Xiuqing and Jincheng had dinner, no one played. It was originally Xia Chongping who was poor, but the children in the village bullied him and did not play with them. Now, they have delicious food every day and are unwilling to share it with the children, and are also isolated.
The two ran to Xia Qingming's house in the front row to watch TV, but were driven back and cried so much that they were angry.
"Tomorrow, we will buy a TV. If you don't have a TV, I'll teach you how to squat on horseback. I'll give you a reward if you squat for a long time."
"What are you rewarded?" Xiuqing asked.
"A reward of one dollar, okay? With money, you can buy food."
Under Xia Qing's guidance, the two children squatted in the backyard. Xia Qing stood by and watched. After squatting for a while, the two children couldn't hold on. In less than a minute, they were sweating profusely and their small body was shaking.
Xia Qing felt distressed, "Okay, it's great, each person costs one dollar! Should I help you take it, or do you guys take it yourself?"
Children from poor families who have never been exposed to money have a yearning for money and are afraid of money. The two of them touched a dollar and gave the money to Xia Qing, "Sister helps to take it."
Xia Chongping smiled and said, "Did your master teach you? You come to teach Xiuqing and Jincheng? Do you know why some amazing people don't teach their children themselves, and they have to teach them to friends and even those who are not so close to each other?"
"I know, strict teachers will be good disciples." Xia Qing put away the money, "I just played with them and didn't plan to teach them my master's trick."
"Why?"
"It's so hard. I just hope my younger brothers and sisters will be safe and happy all their lives. As long as I am awesome, I'll do it."
Xia Chongping couldn't speak for a long time, "You still have your parents, you're so young, don't think so much."
After the beginning of autumn on August 10th, it is much cooler at night.
Several families in the village have built buildings and no longer go to the roof to enjoy the cool air every night, which makes those families without buildings envious and jealous.
Xia Chongping is working more and more vigorously this year. He goes to the fields every day at the fifth day of the day. Sometimes he gives someone a pack of cigarettes and borrows other people's cows for one day. He makes a generous move and others are happy to use them.
After her life got better, Lu Qiuju's spirit became much better. She gave birth to three children in six years and had not made up for it. It was difficult for her to grab the double every year, but this year was much better.
After collecting the millet in the field, they changed jobs with other people's houses and quickly made the millet. Lu Qiuju could do it alone. Xia Chongping went to the fish pond, built a shack, started to prepare the foundation, buy bricks, tiles and cement, and the fish pond was already theirs. He had to guard the fish pond, for fear of being stolen by someone.
The big white dog was tied there too.
"Sister Ju, do you really want to raise fish? I heard from Qingming that there is no fish in that fish pond, how many fry should be put in that big fish pond?"
