Fight the Giants

  Chapter 137 Borrowing Bank

  The family pushed the cart to the yard in Qionghua Lane.

  Only halfway along the road, I saw Huo Erhuai hugging Nian'er, hurrying out with the grandfather of the Zou family.

   "Father." "Brother-in-law." "Er Huai?"

   "Hey, are you back?"

Huo Erhuai was stunned for a moment, then quickly jumped over Grandpa Zou and walked over, and put Nian'er into Yang's hand: "You guys came back just in time, Grandma Zou is sick, and I was just taking the money in the hospital." to see her."

  Yang held Huo Nian in his arms: "Ah, is it serious?" He looked at the grandfather of the Zou family who was behind him.

   "What's wrong with Grandma Zou's family? Is it serious?"

   Seeing that the old man looked anxious and angry, Mrs. Yang also became anxious.

Grandpa Zou walked out panting, and waved at Yang and the others: "It's all right, I have a problem, I just need money, my family not only borrowed money from your family before, but also used all the saved silver to buy money from your family." It’s done. Now that the family can’t get any money out, I followed Erhuai’s instructions and looked for it. I asked all the way, and I happened to see Erhuai hugging Nian’er who was crying so much and wanted to find you...”

   Otherwise, I don’t know how long it will take to knock on doors and ask people.

   Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yang put Nian'er into Huo Xi's arms: "Then Erhuai and I will go with you?"

"no, I'm fine."

Huo Erhuai thought for a while, and said: "I don't know how long it will take for me to go there. You go to the ferry in the outer city. Our boat has been watched by others. It hasn't been there for so long. They thought something happened. I Just go with Uncle Zou by yourself."

   "That's fine. If there is something to do, you can send someone back to call us."

   "Okay." After Huo Erhuai answered, he and Uncle Zou walked away quickly.

Yang and the three of them watched silently for a while, then sighed: "People, you still have to be healthy, even if life is difficult, don't be sick. If you are sick, it doesn't count if you are empty. The family was also emptied."

  Huo Xi nodded in agreement. She has saved money all her life, and once she gets sick, sells the house and property, and once she returns to the place before liberation, she sees a lot.

  It’s better to be healthy than anything else, even if it’s a little bit tiring.

   "Then you two go back, I'll go to the ferry to see our boat. Don't delay other people's affairs."

   "Sister, let me go."

   "You stay with Xi'er, sister goes." Yang confessed a few words and hurried away.

  Seeing Yang's going further and further away, Huo Nian pursed his mouth and cried out loudly.

  The sound was so loud that Huo Xi couldn't help turning his head. When she got used to it, she turned her head and scolded him: "Mother will be back in a while, why are you crying? Can my sister boil egg yolks for you?"

  Huo Nian ignored him, crying loudly in the direction Yang left. Big and big teardrops fell down, and he pushed Huo Xi with his hands, not to be hugged by her.

  Yang Fu also came up to tease him: "Then sister hugs Nian'er in the car, uncle pushes Nianer, okay?"

   Ignore the thought, and turn my head aside.

   Howled so loudly that people in the nearby neighbors poked their heads out to watch, worried that a kidnapper would come to abduct the baby.

  Huo Xi had a terrible headache, and he got on the scooter with him in his arms, and asked Yang Fu to push him home quickly.

  Yang Fu pushed the cart and started to trot, Huo Nian was only taken aback, and continued to howl.

   Howling made Huo Xi's brain buzz.

  Back to the courtyard, the two of them, like monkey jugglers, used eighteen martial arts to amuse him, but he didn't appreciate it and angered Huo Qing. Taught him a few words. Unexpectedly, this kid was soft but not hard, so he howled even louder.

   "Bang bang bang..."

   "Xi'er, it seems like someone is knocking on the door?"

   "Go and see."

  Huo Xi had a headache and directed Yang Fu to open the door.

  She hugged Huo Nian, and he twisted his body and cried, unable to coax him or hug him, so she just sat cross-legged on the bamboo mat on the ground, sweating all over her forehead.

   "Oh, why are you crying like this?"

  Huo Xi and Huo Nian, the siblings turned their heads to look at each other. Seeing that it was Mrs. Guan who came to the house in the morning, he smiled awkwardly at her: "My mother has something to go to the ferry, and he will cry when he sees my mother."

   "I'll give you a hug." Mrs. Guan reached out to Huo Nian.

  Huo Nian looked at Guan with tears in his eyes, seeing Guan stretching out his hand, his small body leaned towards him.

  This kid!

  My own sister doesn't want it, be careful of being taken away by strangers in the future. Little one, she was mad at her.

   "Oh, don't cry, don't cry, good baby, good baby, don't cry..."

  Guan coaxed him softly, and carried him around the yard: "...little baby, ride a big horse, croak croak, ride to grandma's house, grandma laughs when she sees it..."

  Nian'er quickly lay down on her shoulder and became quiet.

  Guan hugged and patted him, and kept reciting songs in a soft voice.

   Seeing that he didn't even have a soft sob, Huo Xi hurriedly ran over to look, and saw that his eyes were narrowed. This kid, who was recited comfortably, is actually sleepy?

  Feeling the gaze, Nian'er raised her head and glanced at Huo Xi, then turned her head aside with her mouth pursed.

  Damn boy! Huo Xi gritted his teeth.

   "It's okay, I'll coax him."

   "The aunt helped me watch him, and I went to make dinner."

   "Go."

  Huo Xi glanced at Guan Shi and Huo Nian, and pulled Yang Fu into the kitchen.

   It can be seen that Guan Shi is a person who likes children. I don't usually go out, but when I hear the baby crying, I feel distressed and go out to see it. He even hugged and coaxed her.

   This should be a soft-hearted person. A soft-hearted person will not be a bad person for a while. Huo Xi thought.

   While cooking, he was thinking about what to give to express his gratitude when Mrs. Guan left.

   Before dinner was ready, Huo Nian was put to sleep by Guan Shi, who sat on the edge of the bed and watched him fall into a deep sleep, and then got up.

   "Thank you, Aunt Guan, this is a thank you gift from my family, thank you for coaxing us to read it."

  Guan waved his hand and declined: "No, no, it's just to help him coax him for a while. Besides, I also like to read."

  A little child, seeing a strange self, still stretched out his arms to hug him, leaning against his shoulder window, a soft ball, with a pleasant smell of milk on his body. Let her heart soften into water.

  Guan refused to pick it up, and walked out of the courtyard quickly.

  Huo Xi looked at the bag in his hand, which contained a bag of brown sugar and jujubes. If you can't send it out, then if you get the catch another day, give it to her. The catch you catch at home doesn't cost money, so you should be able to collect it.

   "This sister is very nice." Yang Fu said with emotion.

  Huo Xi nodded in agreement, and made the meal with Yang Fu, saving Huo Erhuai and Yang's share. The two had dinner first, and then went to the courtyard to take stock of today's goods.

  Brown sugar was not sold as much as yesterday, but there was still more than a stone, and a dozen or so pieces of leather goods were sold. In addition to Yang’s sales in Qionghua Lane in the morning, this one-third of the inventory has gone down.

   The two breathed a sigh of relief. If the linen is sold for a few more days, it should be sold out.

"I don't know if Taoyedu and the others have sold out. Brother Yu's linen is not worrying about selling, and Zou Sheng's family's, I don't know what's going on now. Brother Ma's side, I don't know what's going on. I haven't seen them for a few days. "

   Ma Ji and Ma Xiang haven't seen each other for a while, but the two brothers must be looking for a place to sell linen because they are working. Huo Xi is not worried about them.

   It's the Zou family, which makes people a little worried.

   This family is very honest and responsible, and they have never done business. Now grandma of the Zou family is sick again, so she might need money.

   If she lives in a hospital, she has to leave someone to take care of her. Regardless of whether it is Zou Sheng or Uncle Zou, it is difficult for the only one left in his family to fish.

   Just as he was thinking about it, Huo Erhuai walked in.
