Chapter 34:

The wooden box is about half a foot long, with a piece of shiny satin inside, on which is placed a wooden hairpin and a pair of earrings.
The hairpins are made of old peach wood, and the whole body is dark brown. The hairpins are hibiscus flowers, the roots are covered with silver, and the stamens are embedded with half-nail-shaped hibiscus stones.
The hibiscus stone looks very good, although it is not big, but very permeable. The texture is round and the color is delicate, just like the delicate blooming hibiscus flower, and it lives up to its name of hibiscus stone.
Whether it is from the perspective of color matching and craftsmanship, it can be regarded as the top grade in the wooden hairpin.
The pair of earrings are also the same material as the hairpins, and they are in the shape of water drops. They look elegant and charming, and the daughter's family will like it at first sight.
Zhao'er is also her daughter's home, and she likes beautiful things, but she is too busy in the day and too poor before. Such objects cannot be bought. At this time, there were so many kinds of jewelry in front of her, and the little man bought it for herself. She had some sense of joy.
Seeing the happy look in her eyebrows, Xue Tingyan was relieved. He was still afraid that she would say that she was messing with money again.
Thinking about it in my heart, he asked Zhao'er and asked, "How much does it cost, is it not cheap?"
Xue Tingyan wanted to say a few articles or dozens of articles, and she would not believe it, she had to be honest.
When I heard that it took a couple of dollars, Zhaoer felt a pain, but the pain was not obvious. It's also that she hasn't made a lot of money in trading these days, and she has spent one or two dollars to spend all of her money. It's not the same as the dozen or so but only one or two.
She wondered where the little man got the silver. The copying of the silver spent a lot of money. Does it mean that he copied another book?
Thinking about this, she was a little moved in her heart and said, "Is the money earned from copying books? Buy it, buy it, and I will supply you later."
"I do not want!"
Zhaoer was still thinking, ‘I do n’t want’ or not, and he asked him,
Do you like it?

She looked up to see him, the little man's eyes were very dark and bright, a little wet dog-like feeling. Reminds her that when she took back the black son who is still a puppet from the Jiang family, the black son looked at her like this, and would lick her palm with a small pink tongue.
Now that the black son has grown into a big dog, and the little man has grown up too, knowing that it hurts a lot, he will buy hairpin filial piety for her.
Zhaoer couldn't help but stretch his hand and rubbed his head: "I like it, I like it. I just don't have pierced ears, so I can't wear this earring."
When Xue Tingyan was rubbed so hard that he wanted to shake his head, he heard her say this and subconsciously went to see her earlobe.
Zhaoer's earlobe is very cute, fleshy and crystal clear. In the old saying of the countryman, people with such earlobe are blessed.
He had a feeling of wanting to bite up, and inexplicably felt tight in his heart: "I will help you wear it?"
"Wear it now? You see my hair is combed and messy."
"I will put it on for you!"
Seeing this, Zhao'er could only say yes in his mouth and put his head to Xue Tingyan. Seeing that she didn't get along, she crouched down again.
Xue Tingyan took the hairpin out of the box and inserted it into her hair bun. The back end is more detailed, and the more it looks, the more beautiful it looks. Until Zhao Er insisted, "Is it alright?"
He quickly withdrew his hand and coughed in disguise: "Okay."
"Is it good-looking?" Zhaoer stood up and turned her head awkwardly. This was the first time she wore such hairpins from her daughter's house. Before, she used a headband to tie her hair.
Obviously, this hairpin is not too heavy, she just feels like the weight on her head has suddenly increased.
"Don't you feel weird?"
Xue Tingyan shook his head: "It looks good."
"That's it." She couldn't help but go to the mirror in the house and planned to take a picture.
The mirror is very old and broken, the mirror surface is full of stamps, and because of poor craftsmanship, the photos are not too clear, and the shadows are vague. Zhaoer took photos and then took photos, but still couldn't see clearly. He could only put down the mirror in discouragement and said: "I'm going to cook, and you take a break in the house."
She put the box on the Kang table and took a piece of meat from the basket under the square table and went out.
The voices of Zhao'er and Zhou's came from the courtyard, and Xue Tingyan took out his book and looked at it. Obviously there were dense small letters in front of her, but she always appeared inexplicably her thin white neck and lovely earlobe.
For dinner, Zhao'er made oily meat, braised tofu with yellow croaker, another fried white song and mountain pills, and made another pot of rice. It's big white rice. Xia County doesn't produce rice here. Zhao'er bought it in a rice shop. Not willing to buy more, I bought five catties.
There are a lot of dishes, Zhao Er Sheng came out a large bowl, and the rest in a bowl. There was a loud noise in the courtyard, but the father and son of the big house were back.
"Chou, cook quickly."
Zhou had already prepared the dishes, and the rice was cooked in the pot. He only waited for the father and son to come back and cook. It happened that the strokes were done this time, so I gave her the stove.
Zhaoer took two trips before bringing the food back to the house. She asked Xue Tingyan to eat first, then she went to the kitchen and brought the bowl of meat dishes to the main room.
Here in the main room, Zhao is pulling Xue Juncai to ask questions.
Zhao'er walked in and said to Master Xue, who was sitting on the kang head with a smile: "Grandpa, I made some dishes and gave you and your grandma some food. It's filial piety between me and the dog."
"You have the heart, and have dinner together."
Zhao'er smiled and shook his head: "I still can't. I still have a bowl. The dog came back and said he was hungry. I was planning to wait for Jun to come back. Whoever thought he would come back so late, he cooked in advance. Dog I've eaten it now, and I'll go back to the house to eat, thank you, Grandpa. "
Father Xue did not say much, Zhaoer turned and went out.
Back in the second house, Xue Tingyan had not used chopsticks.
The four dishes on the Kang table were neatly arranged, and the food was ready. A bowl in front of each person.
Zhaoer took off his shoes and got on the kang, and said, "Why don't you eat?"
"I am waiting for you."
"Wait, eat it."
The two were eating, and during the period, Zhaoer asked him something about him in the school, such as whether he slept well and ate well, did anyone bully, stern, stern, or stern words.
Xue Tingyan said one by one.
After glancing at her, he hesitated and asked, "You are doing business with Jiang Wu now? Haven't the clothes sold out yet?"
Zhaoer gave him a chopstick dish: "It's sold out long ago, and I got two packs back. You don't know, the clothes are very easy to sell and earn a lot."
Of course Xue Tingyan saw it, with her own temperament, she wouldn't spend money on it if she didn't make money. However, Zhaoer is not a scammer. She is just used to planning. Every aspect is counted, and only the excess will be spent.
"Don't go after finishing this trip," he said casually.
"Why?"
Why? He certainly would not say that he had eaten Jiang Wu's vinegar.
"You are a womanish woman who usually runs outside, which makes people gossip easily."
Zhaoer put down the bowl in his hand: "Who said gossip, did you listen to Grandma's words? You still don't know her temper, because neither of us looks good, staring at us."
Xue Tingyan's voice was dull: "I didn't listen to anyone. Our family is not short of money now. Why should you go out so hard."
"I do n’t think it ’s hard, we are short of money, but you do n’t think it is. Do you think it ’s enough to study a light beam? Do you need money to buy a book? Do you need pen, ink, paper, inkstone? Going to the exam in the future. Ask for money. You forgot that Uncle went out to take a test, at least twenty-two silver costs. I also plan to build the house in the vacant lot, our house is a house, and certainly not enough to live in later. Live with them Together, it usually goes in and out under the eyelids, it is not convenient to do anything ... "
"I can earn all of this without having to work hard for you as a woman!" Xue Tingyan's voice was a little loud.
"Can you earn? How do you earn? Copying a book?" Zhaoer looked at him very seriously: "Actually I don't want you to copy that book. What you should do now is to study hard in the school. Although I don't know what big It makes sense, but I also know that you ca n’t reverse it.

"Call this book upside down."
"Yes, you shouldn't turn the book upside down, and you must focus on the key points. Letting you go to the school is to study hard, not letting you copy books to make money."
"Copying books will not delay my studies."
"Anyway, don't worry about your family's affairs. You don't have to worry about earning money. You just learn it and you're done."
Xue Ting sighed and looked at her: "Zhao'er, you like silver so much? Silver can earn slowly without having to stretch himself so tightly."
Zhaoer was shocked, and after a while she lowered her eyes and said: "I like silver." I like it very much.
The next two did not speak anymore, because Zhao Er's expression and attitude were enough to tell him that she did not want to speak now, and Xue Tingyan didn't dare to say anything even though she had a thousand words.
After the meal, Zhaoer packed up the Kang table and took out the bowl to wash.
Xue Tingyan wanted to help her, she would not let it.
The main room has been eaten there, and it is very lively, so it seems to be quiet in the yard.
Zhaoer hit a pot of water and threw the bowl in it. She looked at it for a while, before she started to move.
She likes silver and likes it when she is a child.
When the couple in the second room died, no one knew what had happened to Zhao'er. The warmth brought to her by the couple in the second room was too short. Those warm and joyful laughter were still in sight, but they disappeared all at once. She didn't have time to be sad and sad, so she began to struggle to earn her due.
From funerals to monuments, the strokes at that time were like a beast that could not be mad, and whoever provokes her to tear. After everything was over, she finally relieved herself, but it didn't take long to discover that the couple in the big room had different appearances.
It was only at this time that she found her instinct, remembering that her greatest wish was to have a lot of money. In fact, many problems can be solved with silver, but no silver will cause all tragedies to happen.
For example, her sister's was sold, for example, she was almost sold, but was bought by the second room couple, such as the death of the second room couple, such as all the contradictions of the Xue family.
Are you short of money?
In fact, there is no shortage now. These few business trips have been completed. In just ten days, after allocating points to Jiang Wu, Zhao'er also earned more than a dozen dollars.
Enough to spend a year with her and the little man. When the harvest is received during the autumn harvest, there will be no shortage of money at home, but the recruits still feel that it is not enough.
...
There was a table of people eating in the main room.
Today, Zhao bought the meat deliberately and killed the chicken. The food was not bad, but the bowl of dishes brought by the children was not popular.
It is also a good way to cook, and the craft is good. The oily meat was smooth and smooth, with black fungus and cabbage inside, and many small red peppers. Where did the chopsticks of the whole family go unconsciously? After a while, a pile of sharp dishes disappeared.
Yang was planning to reach out and grab the dishes, but the last chopsticks were taken away by Xue Qinghuai unconsciously. She was a little bit unpleasant: "This trick is too chicken thieves. I cooked it and hid it in the house. So many of us only served this bowl."
Xue Juncai was also there when he was delivering food. He whispered, "Mother, eat when you eat, what do you say?"
Yang's also came over and said busyly: "Nie is not just a casual sentence. By the way, you know what Zhao'er is doing recently? How can I not see her every day."
Speaking of this stubble, Zhao's mouth came up: "Who knows what she is doing, she can't see the figure all day long, and she comes back when it's dark." As he said, Zhao's got angry and went to speak to Master Xue "I'm broke up now, I can't care anymore. Before saying her a few words, she still blocked me. Which woman's family is like her, she doesn't go home every day, and usually follows a big man in and out That ’s what Jiang Wu ’s Jiang Wu had in mind, is n’t it a fancy trick? "
Old Master Xue scolded: "What are you talking about! I heard the fourth son, Zhaoer seems to be doing business with Jiang Wu." Xue Qinghuai, who was named Dao, nodded.
It was also a coincidence. Before that, he picked a pick and went to sell in other villages. He shouted that there was no figure out for most of the day, and then he realized that everyone was in the wheat field.
In the past, it was estimated that most of the people in the village came, and there were many people. The men squatted outside and smoked while the children were playing beside them, but the women did not know what they were doing in a pile.
I only knew that after a while, I heard a woman in the pile shouting, "Be the owner, bring the things over."
He stood up immediately and pulled a basket from behind his buttocks. The others in the pile laughed at him: "You don't know how much you have lost again. See how many things you brought this time."
The man chuckled and said: "The child is not a prodigal person, he usually pulls it over. This is not the same thing as the lucky little brother. After buying this time, our family will not have to worry for a few years. "" Said the man, carrying the basket.
It was also strange, before they were crowded as if they were snatching money. At this moment, the man asked someone to help him to deliver the basket, but they all stopped and handed in one by one.
Xue Qinghuai is wondering, what the is this? Later, he realized that it was to grab clothes.
Still the clothes sold by the children, together with Jiang Wu.
However, these Xue Qinghuai did not say anything. They only said that Zhao Er and Jiang Wu were doing business.
"Furthermore, Zhao'er is the daughter-in-law of the dog. After the dog has passed fifteen, the two will have a family room. The villagers don't know, Jiang Hai was good with the second son, and Jiang Wu grew up with Zhao'er. Big, where is it possible to recruit a girl ’s family to do business, and Jiang Wu can be assured of following, do n’t you want to be skewed. "
Zhao snorted and did not speak again.
"There is also the eldest daughter-in-law. There is nothing wrong with Zhao Er's work. If you don't eat it when you are done, you will give your mother and me a bowl. Such a big bowl also costs a lot of meat, which is too much for us. One day, if any of you have this filial piety, my mother and I will be happy to lie in the coffin with closed eyes. "
Grandpa Xue drank some wine, and his old face was black and red, but he could see that he was very happy. The matter of separation has always been in his heart. He was afraid that several sons would be born because of the separation. It was just through this matter that he rarely knocked on the big house, which was also a gesture.
The Yangs wanted to instigate, who knew it was boring, and was beaten by the father-in-law, so he dared not say anything.
Xue Qingshan said on the sidelines: "Dad, don't worry, who dare not filial to you and your mother, I won't spare him the first one."
"That's fine."
Mr. Xue glanced at him and picked up his glass of wine to sip his wine.
