Chapter 14 After feeling guilty about the meal, Zheng asked Qin if he could set the meal, and with Qin's consent, he began to serve the food.The old man of the Luo family, who was sitting on the kang, learned that the eldest who went to pick up his eldest daughter-in-law and grandchildren at the end of the day today did not come back, and said that he would come back tomorrow, so he sent a message to everyone that there was no need to divide two tables today, one table.Croppers are not so particular.Zheng's meals were served one after another, and the main dishes were stir-fried cabbage, fried potatoes, rice and tofu soup, as well as mixed noodles and steamed buns and vegetable dumplings.This time, because of the meal together, the Qin family no longer distributed the meals uniformly, and everyone was treated the same.When Qin saw a basket of wild vegetable dumplings, he frowned fiercely: "It's just to turn over these useless things, and waste the white flour rice in vain." ”As he spoke, he bypassed the vegetable dumplings and picked up the mixed noodles and steamed buns and ate them.When Zheng heard this, he knew that Qin was blaming himself for using white flour rice to make vegetable dumplings, but he didn't speak.When Qin saw the silent Zheng family, he wanted to say something, but the old man said, "Let's stop it."
This dumpling tastes okay. ”Then, he looked up and asked the second child: "Tomorrow you go to the town to repair the farm tools, and buy a few new sickles for harvesting wheat." ”"Repair the old clock on the streets of the town, and the old clock works carefully."
After the old man finished speaking, he added a few words."
Yes, Dad, I see."
Luo Youli replied immediately."
Grandpa, my brother and I also want to go to the town to help, there are so many farm tools and sickles, and my father can't get them by himself."
Luo Ran hurriedly took this opportunity to bring up the matter of going to town."
Go, go early and come back early."
The old man of the Luo family saw the expectant eyes of the three children, so he agreed.The old man remembered that the eldest family had not returned, and he remembered the current predicament, so he was very worried.I've been sighing all night, and I'm thinking about finding a time to tell you about it in the next two days.The dinner ended hastily under the old man's inquiry and arrangement.Everyone went back to their rooms, and Luo Ran began to pack the things they would bring to the town tomorrow.Luo Ran asked Zheng to wrap a few vegetable dumplings and put them in a basket, so that they could eat on the road tomorrow.Wen Sheng carefully picked up the hornet's nest hidden in the corner last time, and smiled toothlessly."
Dad, mother, this is the hornet's nest I found, and I will go to the town tomorrow to exchange money.The merchant who passed by the village only gave a few yuan, but if he was in the town, he could exchange it for a dozen yuan. ”"Wen Sheng now knows that he can exchange money, okay, your grandparents will definitely praise you."
Luo Youli saw his youngest son's expression of being a fan of wealth, and touched his youngest son's head with a smile."
Dad, mother, I want to save this money myself, can I not tell my grandmother."
Luo Wensheng opened his wet eyes wide and looked at Luo Youli and Zheng.Zheng remembered that he had no money in hand and had never bought snacks for his son and daughter, and his heart was sour.Now even the hornet's nest that the youngest son found himself can't save for money, so he can't help but say: "The child is his father, we can't buy things for the child every day, this time the child wants to save some snacks by himself, let's not tell his father." ”"Okay, you don't have to hand it over to your grandparents if you make it yourself."
Luo Youli saw that several children were usually obedient and sensible, and they knew how to help the family at a young age.If you want to buy a snack, you have to exchange the hornet's nest for money, and it is not a taste in your heart at this time."
Daddy, we know."
Luo Wenxuan, Luo Ran, and Luo Wensheng gave each other a successful look, and the three of them said quickly at the same time, as if they were afraid that their parents would regret it.Striking while the iron is hot is very suitable in many cases.Luo Ran glanced at Luo Wenxuan, got up and went to get the basket of duck eggs."
Dad, mother, the wild duck eggs that my brother and I picked up in the woods, we are reluctant to eat them, we want to save them in exchange for money, we don't want to go hungry."
The cloth covering the basket is lifted to reveal a layer of duck eggs.Luo Ran's weak voice said intermittently, and after speaking, he also learned from the appearance of Wensheng, looked at Luo Youli and Zheng in a daze, and then blinked his eyes, and squeezed hard without squeezing out a single tear.But the two adults who are always in a bad relationship are very distressed when they see their daughter's pitiful appearance and are about to cry."
Okay, okay, okay, you don't have to report the money you earn to your grandparents in the future, just keep it for yourself."
Luo Youli said a few good words in a row, feeling guilty in his heart, only feeling that he had no ability and couldn't let his wife and children live a good life.There was no sense that the children had premeditated it.At this time, Zheng couldn't suppress the sourness in his heart, and began to cry, choking and saying, "The child is his father, let's be sorry for a few babies." ”Luo Youxiao looked at a few sensible children, wearing coarse cloth clothes that had been changed from adults to small ones, and there were patches of the same color on the clothes.The body is all skinny, a malnourished skinny, not like a few nephews, thin and thin, but looks very healthy.Then he turned his head to look at his wife who was choking on the table, thin, dark, and no longer as delicate as she had been married before.In the past few years, he has suffered and suffered with himself in the Luo family, and he has never complained, and has been silently endured.Holding back the tears in his eyes, he put his hand around his wife's thin shoulder, speechless.This made Luo Ran secretly say in his heart: "It's a bit too much." ”But it seems to work out pretty well.Seeing that the two couples had been sitting like this, after a long time, Luo Ran could only cough as a wicked person and remind them.Zheng reacted, turned his head to look at the palm of her husband holding her shoulder, and then looked at the three pairs of eyes in front of her who were staring at her, her face began to redden, she took her husband's hand away and glared at her husband.Luo Youli, who was still sentimental, heard Luo Ran's cough and raised his head to see his wife glaring at him with a red face, and he felt very guilty in his heart, thinking that his wife was dissatisfied with him.I am sorry for my wife and children, and I must treat their mothers better in the future."
Dad, mother, the bird eggs we dug from the brush tree, these are left for my father and mother."
Luo Wenxuan took out four bird eggs and stuffed them into the hands of the couple who were still in their own emotions.The two looked at the bird egg in their hands, it was not big, smaller than an egg, it was a common bird egg in the forest.It was already cold, and there were still some ashes left on it, but the smell of the bird's eggs lingered on the tip of the nose and lingered for a long time.The cool touch of the bird's egg in the palm of the hand brings warmth, the warmth that sticks to the heart.In fact, where the already cold bird's eggs are still so fragrant is just a personal feeling in the emotions of the two of them.Zheng didn't know what it was like anymore, and the tears lingered under his nose a few times, but he still left tears.Luo Youli gently wiped away Zheng's tears with his hand, and said slowly, slowly, word by word: "Let's both suffer a little bit, we must let the children live a good life." ”4209051:
