sailing in that era

"Hehe, selling gastrodia elata to make money, I'm afraid I want to fart!

You know how lazy you are every day. If your father had stayed in the past few years, he would have been severely criticized by the brigade. He is really a big lazy man!

There is no way out for a lazy man, and he still wants to speculate. Does he have the ability?

I see, at the end of the day, you will lose a lot of money! "

The third brother felt very uncomfortable after hearing what the second aunt said, but he didn't know what to say, but kept repeating this sentence.

"My dad is amazing! He will definitely make a lot of money!"

The second aunt gave him a disgusted look, she really didn't want to get entangled with this brat and wanted to drive him away.

"You don't go home and have a look, I just saw the pork dealer come to your house!"

The third brother was so sad that he was about to die when he heard this, the tears in his eyes couldn't stop flowing down.

Whoa whoa whoa!Cry loudly.

He couldn't believe how it felt when his family didn't kill pigs during the Chinese New Year

Then he rushed home while crying.

"Tch, a child is a child, if you cheat casually, you can still take it seriously."

The second aunt didn't care much when she saw the back of the third brother leaving, but at the same time there was a little bit of happiness in her heart.

She doesn't look down on Peng Jingui (father's name) who has no money and wants to make money by doing "wrong ways". In the past few days, she has often played against others and said a lot of bad things about her father.

The purpose was to not want her father to borrow money, and she just didn't want Peng Baili's family to have a chance to succeed.

Regarding the fact that Peng Baili's father wanted to start a small business, she secretly reported to the village chief!

It's just ridiculous that the times are different, and the village chief didn't respond to this, which made her feel a little pity.

In fact, she didn't have any deep hatred with Peng Baili's family, and usually there were some trivial conflicts, but she was very jealous, and she couldn't see that other people's families were better than her, so the closer people were, the more she was.

Among them, what made him mad with jealousy was that her two sons were honest and responsible, and Peng Baili's three brothers were all smart, which made her feel overwhelmed by her self-esteem.

"Mom...Mom, is our big fat pig going to be taken away?"

"Who did you hear?"

"Second Auntie, she said we have to sell pigs to pay off the debt!"

"Nothing, your dad can make a lot of money when he goes to the city this time! After all, our family will not be short of money!"

"real?"

……

When the three of Peng Baili and the others arrived home, they saw their third brother wiping tears while talking to his mother who was cooking.

When he saw the three of them, he ran towards them.

"Little San, do you miss me?"

When grandpa saw his grandson, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, running towards them, he couldn't stop being happy. He was in a good mood along the way, and now he can be said to be relaxed.

This is mainly because his Yao'er family will no longer suffer from poverty in the future, which makes the only worry in his heart settled.

"Grandpa, you are back, San'er misses you so much..."

Although the third child talked sweetly to his grandpa, he couldn't stop glancing at his father's basket, and when he saw the full basket, his eyes just rolled around.

At this time, the second brother heard their voices outside, and he also came out of the house. There was still a large piece of pot ashes on his face, and he knew it was put on by adding firewood.

At this time, the mother also put down the work in hand, and looked at them expectantly.

Peng Baili and the others didn't say much, but called his family and walked into the house.

After the father entered the house, he put the basket at ease, and then kept getting things into the basket.

Cloth, toffee, suet, sickle, comb, rice...

At this time, the father had a smile on his face, and he explained something to the mother.

When the mother took the comb from her father, her heart felt sweet, and she held the silver comb tightly in her hand. This was the first gift from her father.

For some reason, she couldn't stop crying.

Seeing this situation, my father was a little at a loss, and at the same time a little shy. Only then did he remember that he never seemed to have bought anything for Xiuxiu (mother's name is Wang Xiuxiu).

He wanted to hug Peng Baili's mother in his arms and comfort her, but the influence of the daytime was not good.

"Thank you for your hard work. How will life at home get better and better in the future?"

"Yeah!" Mother nodded vigorously, with a sweet smile on her face.

Peng Baili felt very comfortable seeing this scene. To be honest, although his father and mother had been together for a lifetime in Yuanshikong, there were not many warm scenes when they got along.

Two years later, the father left the four of them, mother and son, to wander outside, basically in a state of nowhere, while the mother, under the pressure of life year after year, was tortured to be much older than her peers.

Her feelings for her father also gradually faded, and in the end, the two basically lived together as a partner, and their feelings faded away.

In Peng Baili's heart, he still hoped that the relationship between his parents would get better and better, not to mention raising their eyebrows, at least they should respect each other as guests.

It was during lunch that my father told the story of going to the county one by one. Of course, he only said that he had earned enough money to start a small business and pay off debts, but he didn't say how much.

This is mainly because of the fact that money is not revealed, and I am worried that children will go out and talk nonsense.

But even so, my mother was smiling all over her face, and the burden in her heart seemed to be lifted at once, with indescribable relief.

If anyone in the family is under the greatest pressure, it is undoubtedly the mother.

Because there was no food left at home, she was the one who went out to borrow food or money, and sometimes she lost face when she did these things, and she also suffered a lot of stares like this.

"Sister and brother, let me see if your pig has been sold?"

Just after lunch, the second aunt came to the door. She heard that her father and the others were back, and she just wanted to see a joke.

At the same time, the third uncle Kanxiatang came with her.

Mother saw the two of them hastily greeted them to sit down and eat, but they ignored them, and Tang Sanbo still looked unhappy.

The father asked quickly at this time.

"Brother, who are you?"

Uncle Tang said with a straight face: "Jingui, there is a saying that goes 'to help the poor, not to save the poor', a few days ago I lent money to my younger siblings because your family had no rice to cook.

But now I hear that you are planning to use the money for business, not to mention whether you can make money, but if you say that the purpose of borrowing money is not what you said before, I cannot lend you money.

After all, there are still many people who have no food left!

They need this money even more, no, your second aunt wants this money to buy food..."

The Second Auntie expressed her joy at this time, and today's scene was instigated by her.

She kept looking at her mother's face, hoping to see a panicked expression on her face, but it was a pity that she didn't.

After that, she also looked at the others. Grandpa showed disdain for her, Peng Baili was expressionless, and the third brother made a face at her.

The third brother has been eating white rabbit toffee since just now, which let him know that his father should be making money this time when he goes to the county, and the family's big fat pig can't be sold anymore.

Therefore, I really don't have any affection for the second aunt who lied to him before.

At this moment, he took out a toffee from his pocket, peeled off the wrapper and stuffed it directly into his mouth with a look of enjoyment.

This made the second aunt very upset, especially seeing the third brother eating toffee.

So she said, adding fuel to the fire.

"Jingui, I'm not talking about you. You don't want to do this when you borrow money. With the money to buy sugar for children, wouldn't it be good to buy more food?"

"Have you spent more than half of the money you borrowed from the third brother's house?"

Tang Sanbo's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and his expression, which was still a little hesitant, became firm.

"Jingui, it seems that you have made a lot of money in the county this time, the money lent to your family a few days ago, you have to give it to me now.

As for the interest of the past few days, my brother will not talk about it, and just wipe it off for you. "

His father shook his head when he heard this. Uncle Tang's face darkened at this scene, and he felt that it was a bit difficult to get the money back, but what his father said next made him a little unbelievable.

"Third brother, if you can lend money to my family with respect, why would I not give you interest? Even if you embezzle it for a few days, it is not a small favor. You can take as much as you want..."

After the father finished speaking, he directly gave all the money that should be given to Uncle Tang, and even the interest of a penny was calculated clearly, so that Uncle Tang and the second aunt were a little dazed when they left.

Tang Sanbo's gaze at this time was a bit complicated, and he didn't mention the loan of money when he finally separated from his second auntie. Now he kind of hates this gossip-talking woman.

As for the second aunt, it was even more uncomfortable. From today's situation, she knew that Jingui must have made a lot of money by selling medicinal materials in the county.

Peng Baili watched his father pay back the money all the way, and he found that his father has become more confident now. It seems that he is really rich and courageous, and he lacks confidence to speak without money.

In the evening, my father went out again to pay off all the debts he owed over the years. When he finally returned home, he looked relaxed.

"It feels so good not to owe anyone money, and I swear I'll never owe anyone money again."

At this time, grandpa said with a little expectation: "Jingui, it seems that this money can't be spent other than doing business. How about using part of the remaining money to build a house?"

After my father said this, he looked around his house. He didn't think it was anything before, but now he looked at it and it was not pleasing to the eye.

The walls are pitch black, the windows are very small, and the house is also very small, with only an inner room and an outer room; there are only two beds, which is barely enough to live in now, but when the children grow up a bit, It seems very crowded.

The most important thing was to see his father's look of anticipation, which made him feel uncomfortable. The old man has never slept in a good bed or lived in a decent house in his life.

He said solemnly: "Dad, Jian, let's build the best house in the village and let others see that we are no longer what we used to be."
