Chapter 57 Shut your mouth

After getting along for more than half a year, Fang Youshun had already become accustomed to Zhao Hui taking the initiative to help with work every time he came up. He didn't feel any surprise when he did this to him. He went straight to the stool on the ground and sat down, and started to divide the thickness with him.

It's already very cold now. Because Shen Yuxiu is still too young, Fang Yan is afraid that she will freeze the child by running back and forth every day, so she doesn't bring her child to Fang's house to do work. Therefore, as soon as Shen Yuxiu's two brothers and sisters go to school this year, the family will

Only Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang were left at home, and the house seemed particularly deserted.

"Grandpa, I..., can I come to your house during the day?" While he was working, Zhao Hui suddenly lowered his head and asked softly.

Fang Youshun was stunned for a moment. He slightly raised his eyes to look at him, and saw tears in his eyes. He explained in a somewhat confused manner: "I eat my own wild vegetables, dried sweet potatoes, and not your food. I, I will stay here during the day."

Stay for a while and go home at night. If you have anything to do, you can let me do it, okay?"

Just hanging out during the day?

Fang Youshun was surprised when he heard this, but after a while he seemed to understand something. After thinking for a while, he asked him: "If you are not tired, why not work for me? Although I can't pay you, I can take care of your food."

, teach you how to make baskets and baskets, and I can also make sweeping brooms, cooking brooms, and big pot lids for steaming steamed buns. I can teach you all these, how about it?"

Zhao Hui never expected that he would encounter such a good thing because he just wanted a place to hide from the wind and cold during the day. He was stunned at the time.

You know, nowadays a craft can support a family. If you want to learn a craft without spending some money or asking someone to intercede, there is no way. But the old man in front of me actually said that as long as he helps with some work, he can teach him.

How could he not be surprised by his craftsmanship?

Seeing that Zhao Hui remained silent for a long time, Fang Youshun asked in confusion: "What? Are you unwilling?"

"No, no, I, I am willing, willing," Zhao Hui came to his senses after being asked, waved his hands repeatedly, bent his knees and fell to the ground with a plop, and began to kowtow: "Thank you, grandpa, I, I, I will definitely do it.

If I work hard for you, I will definitely do it well."

Fang Youshun didn't expect that he would suddenly kneel down, sighed and pulled him up: "What are you doing? Get up, get up quickly, and just work hard from now on."

"Hey, hey, I can." Zhao Hui was pulled up, and he wiped the crystal tears from his eyes excitedly, and quickly lowered his head to help Fang Youshun continue to pick cotton locust slivers.

He knew that he was taking advantage of others, but he was really, really happy.

When Fang Youshun saw this, he smiled and didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and started to talk to him about the uses of these cotton locust slivers.

Grandma Fang sat on the kang, holding the soles of her shoes, and looked at Fang Youshun, who was teaching Zhao Hui with a smile, and sighed softly.

In fact, the old man originally wanted to teach his grandchildren the craft, but the boy in Yuwen was not very smart and his hands were clumsy. After two days of learning, he blushed and became so thick-necked that he didn’t want to learn anymore. The boy in Yulin was quite clever, but he couldn’t sit still

I can’t live, and I have to go to school again. I’m not interested in this, and I don’t want to learn. Yuxiu Nizi wants to learn, but the old man thinks it’s too cold in winter and is afraid of freezing her, so he only told me the general method.

, saying that she wouldn’t let her get started.

Although it was said that the old man took the initiative to prevent the child from Yuxiu from learning, she could actually tell that the old man was a little disappointed that no one learned his craft. Now that Zhao wanted to learn it, it just made the old man happy.

I thought about it.

Zhao Hui finally found a place to live and learn a trade. He was so happy every day that he left home at dawn and returned home only after dark, which made the Zhao couple extremely frustrated.

I feel that this son was raised in vain.

While Zhao Hui was busy, people began to have sex, and the Fang family became lively again.

For no other reason than because every household does not have much food, but the Fang family has a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes.

Everyone knew that the Fang family had no shortage of food this year, so they all came up with the idea of ​​borrowing sweet potatoes. Anyway, they would just wait until the sweet potatoes are planted next year before returning them.

From the time Shen Jinggui leaked the sweet potato yield, Fang Youshun knew that such a day would come, so when these people came to borrow sweet potatoes, he happily borrowed them, but not much, just two or three per family. Jin, and let Shen Yuxiu or Shen Yulin write it down. When the time comes, these people can pay back food or other things.

Of course, some people said that he was stingy because he was only willing to lend him a small amount, and he just smiled at the fact that he was doing well.

We are all fellow villagers. If you come to borrow it, I will give it to you. This is a favor. If you can still make irresponsible remarks, it means that the person does not need this thing much, so it is okay not to borrow it.

What's more, there are so many families, and two or three kilograms per family adds up to a lot. If there is more, wouldn't his own family have enough to eat? He doesn't have such noble feelings. starving.

Unlike the Fang family, Shen Yuling's family also began to fall into a situation of not having enough to eat at this time.

It's not that her family has no food, but that there are only a few hundred kilograms of food. Fourth Aunt Shen has to plan to feed the whole family for a year. This is a very important thing, so this winter in addition to working on the dam protection project every day Fourth Shen, Aunt Shen and the children only had soup to fill their stomachs.

But this soup will be gone as soon as you urinate. It won't take long before your stomach growls with hunger.

Shen Yuling went home again in the evening holding her hungry and aching stomach. She couldn't help but weakly said to Aunt Shen who was cooking: "Mom, can we make the porridge thicker? I am hungry every time I go home. I can hardly walk anymore."

"Then don't move around when you are at school. Save your energy and you won't be hungry." Fourth Aunt Shen said matter-of-factly while lighting the fire.

She and her children endured the same kind of hardship at home. When they were full, they were all caged on the kang and not allowed to move around. They didn't feel too hungry all morning.

Shen Yuling was speechless after hearing this. After thinking for a while, she said: "If it doesn't work out, let's go to my uncle's house and borrow some sweet potatoes to eat. At least they can fill our stomachs."

However, she never expected that Fourth Aunt Shen, who was still calmly cooking the fire, raised her head and glared at her fiercely when she heard these words, and gritted her teeth and warned: "Shut your mouth, and let me hear it again in the future." When you say this, I will sew your mouth shut."

Shen Yuling was speechless, but seeing the fierce look on Fourth Aunt Shen's face, she didn't dare to say anything. She turned her head and lay down on the kang in frustration and stopped moving.

She didn't understand why her own mother had such a big opinion against her uncle's family.

What kind of year is it now? The whole family is so hungry every day that they can't walk. Why can't her mother put aside her grudges and lower her head?

However, Fourth Aunt Shen was also very aggrieved.

I think back then, when she married into the Shen family, her mother's family was the most useful among the sisters-in-law. Because of this, she naturally felt that her status was higher than that of the other sisters-in-law, and she looked down upon her with a slut. Grandma’s Fang Yan.

It was also Fang Yan and her daughter who didn't know what was going on. If the two of them had looked at each other a little bit and had given her a little bit of permission, the two families would not have become so tense later on.
