The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Tao had already watered the vegetable field and returned to the front yard. They were squatting at the door of the main hall to select vegetables. Hearing this, they raised their heads and looked at the siblings.

Wu Lin ran to Tao as soon as possible and told him what happened. Si Lin helped to explain it. He was stunned by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. What, Guoer made money?

Guo'er didn't want to hide it from it, and she had already spent all the money she earned today, so she always had to explain it to the adults.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law opened the things on the kang table and looked at them one by one, and then asked Guoer again uncertainly. Then Tao swallowed the breath that was nestled in his throat.

"Milk, I want to eat candy!"

Wulin grabbed Tao's sleeve and reminded grandma.

Tao looked at the three young grandsons who were in front of him, and then at the maltose on the table. The slightly mean face immediately smiled in a lot of grim smiles. The rough fingers picked up a few pieces of maltose and stuffed a piece into the mouth of the three young grandsons. Seeing the little grandson drooling as they drooled, Tao's eyes narrowed into a slit.

Yao Guoer quietly moved her feet back, and she was afraid that Tao would stuff one into her mouth. But Tao seemed to have not seen her, and she didn't even look at her.

Guo'er thought too much. Tao is a typical rural old lady. She is her husband, son and grandson in her heart. She is an outsider in her limited knowledge of Tao. She is even more of a loss-making product. She is someone else's family sooner or later, so she doesn't have to be so kind to them.

Therefore, Dow always favors all his grandchildren. Some delicious food at home has been put into the mouths of his grandchildren. Just like this malt sugar, Dow can't remember to leave a few to reward them for his granddaughters.

After she finished feeding her three grandchildren, she turned around and saw Guo'er standing beside her. The smile on her face immediately collapsed and scolded Guo'er: "You damn girl, you just earned a few dollars and didn't know how to take them home. She spent all of them all in one go. Who gave you the courage? She learned the prodigality from your greedy mother at a young age!"

After saying that, he didn't forget to look at Bao's standing next to him. Bao felt deeply implicated and looked at his daughter dissatisfied.

"My mother, don't be angry. Didn't I learn how to do needlework with my uncle? When I was fine, I thought about the patterns I had seen. Gradually, I wanted to try to draw them, but I was afraid that I wouldn't draw them well, so I didn't mention them to you. Today, I couldn't help but draw a few pictures and try to sell them to the peddler. They really accepted them."

Yao Guoer explained one by one that she sold her for a total of 35 cents. She bought charcoal pens and threads to continue painting patterns and making needles in the future. She bought white flour because she almost ate up all the white flour at home in order to maintain her health these days. She felt really sorry, so she bought two kilograms of filial piety to her grandparents.

That small piece of lard is definitely not something she is greedy. My uncle and his uncle work every day, but there is no oil or water in the food at home. It will be bad for her health for a long time, so she bought it back and wanted to add some meat to her family.

And the maltose was given for free by the peddler, so it doesn’t cost money.

After Guo'er said that, she covered the piece of mung bean cake hidden in her chest with her hands. She spoke frankly and said everything for her family. The Tao gradually calmed down.

Bao also reacted at this time and said in surprise: "Oh, my good daughter, I have a great future today and can make money for my family! Mom, Guoer has grown his skills, don't you?"

Bao walked up and took Guoer's hand and told him, "Guer, you have made contributions to our family. But next time you make money, you must not take the initiative to buy things for your family. You will take them back and hand them over to the public center. What should you buy? Your milk is the best, but do you hear it?"

Guoer nodded as if to be good.

The He family and Liu family on the side also praised Guoer for a few words.

As Tao heard his wife say something, his uneasy thoughts had long since dissipated. Seeing that the three grandchildren had eaten up all the candy in their mouths and started to pull her sleeves, they immediately smiled and squinted their eyes to give them the remaining malt sugar. This time, there was still no fruit.

Tao himself is reluctant to eat this rare snack, and no other women of the Yao family (including their granddaughters) can eat it.

Although Dow used to treat Guoer differently, she even allowed her to enjoy the same treatment as her grandchildren and had a steamed egg every now and then, it was limited to this, and there was no such thing as rare snacks like maltose.

The last time there was an accident between the two granddaughters, Tao was most concerned about whether there would be scars on Guoer's face, and he didn't care about the others at all. Tao was the most valuable granddaughter in his mind, which was not allowed to let her be hungry and tired.

Tonight, there was a pot of fried tender gourds on the dinner table of Yao's family. They were fried with the piece of lard bought by fruit. Of course, it was impossible to use up the lard in one go. A piece of lard, the size of a grain nest, can be eaten for a few days for the farmers.

Dow put the remaining lard into a thick porcelain bowl and asked Da Sun to carry a bucket of freshly dug well water, put the thick porcelain bowl into the well water and ice it. When the lard solidifies more solidly, it can be stored for a period of time.

At the dinner table, Tao rewarded Guoer with a more pot of wok in front of everyone, and generously asked Bao to cook two more eggs for Guoer to eat at night.

Bao's face was a little proud. After hearing his mother-in-law's words, he nodded repeatedly, and then glanced around everyone who was looking down to eat. He couldn't help but say again: "If we say that Guoer has been suffering from childhood. I didn't care when I saw Guoer with a branch on the ground before, but who would have thought that this girl could even draw a name for herself. This is really-"

When Guoer heard this, she had this hobby before. Then, she showed more of her skills, but she had reasonable excuses. When she thought about this, Guoer felt much more calm.

Dad Yao doesn't talk much, and after hearing what happened today, he rarely praised Guoer. Seeing that Dad was praising his daughter, Yao Sanzhu couldn't help but feel proud.

"...I am really worthy of being my daughter of Yao Sanzhu! Isn't that smart person follow me? She can earn 30 cents for our family today, and she will have the ability to earn more money in a few days. Dad and Mom, let's wait and enjoy the blessing of Guoer. Hahahaha..."

It was not until Dad Yao couldn't help but knock on the edge of the table with chopsticks that Yao Sanzhu closed his mouth.

Yao Guoer was completely relieved at this time. Her family was happy to see her success, so she could continue this way of making money in the future. Unfortunately, there was no better paper at home, so when the peddler came, he could ask him to bring some suitable paper.

After dinner, it was still some time before dark. A few young grandchildren were led by their brothers to the village to find their friends to have fun. Dad Yao walked out of his yard with his hands on his back and walked towards the center of the village. The habit developed by the older generation in the village gathered under the tall soapberry tree to enjoy the cool and chat.

Yao Tiezhu took up a shoulder pole and went to the ancient well at the entrance of the village to carry water from the water tank at home; Yao Erzhu took an axe and started chopping firewood; Yao Sizhu sat in the yard while it was still dawn and continued to weave the bamboo basket in his hand. The autumn harvest was coming, so he rushed to weave more so that he could get it to the market to sell when he was in the market;

As for Yao Sanzhu, there is no sign of it.

Dow moved a bench and sat under the eaves, took a palm fan and fanned the wind, and asked his wife to take a few dried mugwort from under the straw shed in the yard to start smoking the house.

There is no precious thing like window screen on the windows of farmers. In summer, before dark, every household will light mugwort in the house to smoke the house. When a handful of mugwort is burned out, the smoke in the house will gradually dissipate and the sky will be dark. Then go back to the house to sleep.

The smoked house is like this and sleeping when you open the window at night, and there are few mosquitoes flying in again, but the smell is a bit bad.

As night gradually fell, farmers who had been busy for a day went into the house to prepare to go to bed.

The family of four returned to the west wing. Bao and Yao Sanzhu surrounded each other and praised happily. Guoer felt that he was so stingy that he could not listen.

Bao's eyes rolled and remembered something: "By the way, Guoer, there is a rule for our family to make money, that is, each house can only pay 70% of the money earned by himself to the public center, and each house can keep the remaining 30% of the money.

So, you earned thirty-five cents today, and ten cents of them should be the private money of our three-bedroom house.”

"Yes, yes, yes, this must be explained clearly to our daughter. Don't be foolish when you make money next time, spend it all in the public center, and 30% will be kept for us. Dad, daughter, I will take it back next time and save it for you to save it." Yao Sanzhu also reminded.

Bao flew over at Yao Sanzhu with a knife, and Yao Sanzhu stopped laughing.

There is such a rule? It's so great, so it's reasonable to hide some private money in the future. Guoer's little abacus in her heart happily fiddled with it.

The family was talking happily, and when Mrs. He was excited, he simply whispered to Guoer about the stinginess of the Tao Zhang family.

"...Your milk is not ordinary. Our family rarely has oil all year round. During the busy farming season, your milk will buy a small piece of pig skin at the market and put it under the bowl on the kitchen chopping board. When cooking, take out the pig skin and apply it in the pot. The bottom of the pot will be stained with a layer of grease, which will be considered as a meat-filled one.

A small piece of pig skin can last a long time. When the skin gets thinner and darker, you will chop the pig skin and add it to the chicken feed, without wasting any waste."

Guo'er laughed so hard that her stomach aches, and Bao and her son covered their mouths and couldn't stop laughing.

Yao Sanzhu followed his wife and children and laughed heartlessly for a while, and then realized that the person his wife was talking about was his biological mother. So he coughed uneasy and said, "What are you doing with your child? Our mother can live a life, that's frugal. You slutty woman don't know how to learn a little and talk nonsense."

He was not afraid of him, but he shut up and stopped talking.

Yao Sanzhu then looked at his two children and said, "I'm not poor or chaotic. Our family was not like this in the early years. In the early years, our family was similar to your second grandfather's house next door. He had land, and there were twelve acres of land."

Seeing her husband's words mysteriously, Bao couldn't help but roll his eyes, muttering to himself when his family would be almost the same as his second grandfather's house next door?

Yao Sanzhu continued to talk about family history: "Later, your uncle broke one leg. In order to treat him, the family spent all his savings and sold the land. When he was about to pay, he still owed a lot of debts, so he started to have no full meal.

In order to fill your stomach, the family rented 15 acres of land by the Wang family, the big landlord, and the whole family got up early and worked in the middle of the land. They were reluctant to eat and wear all year round, and finally paid off the debt they owed. Alas!"

The Wang family, the big landlord, is not unfamiliar to Guoer, because when he was a piao on the tree, he heard from his father Yao mentioned that it was a famous wealthy family in the nearby townships. The Wang family's mansion was not in Shangyao Village, but in Shibalipu, not far from Shangyao Village. Many nearby villages have their homes around, including Shangyao Village.

So, the current Yao family is actually a poor and careless tenant.
