The whole family closed the door and finished dinner happily, cleared the Kang table, and huddled together on the Kang to talk.
"Her mother, I just told my father that she will go to the town tomorrow to see if there is any work to be done. Every penny she earns is penny. Don't worry, I will earn the ten taels of silver." Tian Huairen said directly.
In town?
When Tian Minyan heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. This was a good opportunity. She immediately leaned over and said, "Dad, take me with you."
"Dad, I'm looking for a job too." Tian Minrui straightened up.
"And me." Xiao Wu was not willing to be outdone.
"What can you kids do if you go? Stay at home with your mother and have fun." Tian Huairen said with a kind face.
"Dad, you have to take me there." Tian Minyan refused. She looked at the room and saw that the door was still open. She immediately ran over and closed the door. She lowered her voice and said, "I thought of a way to make money. I'm going to see if I can do it.
"
"What?"
"Dad, you just need to take me there. You can find work yourself while I and my brother go shopping around."
"What about me?" Xiao Wuyi pouted and asked after hearing that Tian Minyan meant to leave him behind.
"Okay Xiaowu, you take care of your mother at home." Tian Minyan hugged him over and saw that he was about to cry again, so she couldn't help but said: "Taking care of your mother is a big deal. Let's go to work, and we have to rely on you at home.
Hey, you are a little man, can you do it?"
"I'm a man, I can do it." Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu immediately puffed up his chest and said loudly.
These days, he has been following Tian Minyan a lot, like a follower, barely leaving her, but he is even more attached to Tian Minyan than before.
He was like this because he was afraid that his second sister would fall into the river and die again, which made him feel insecure. In addition, he really liked this sister.
And Tian Minyan often told him about what it means to be a man, and he also thought that he was a man.
"Xiao Wu is awesome!" Tian Minyan saw that she was coaxing him, and immediately clapped her hands, praising Xiao Wu until his face turned red.
Luo's own children were all well-behaved and sensible, and he was both happy and sad at the same time. Children from poor families had already become the masters of their own family, that's how it was.
Looking at the men, she thought for a moment, bit her lower lip, took out a small key from her pocket, turned around and reached into a low cabinet placed on the kang behind her, and took out
Take out a small red paint box.
The men watched her movements without saying a word. Luo Shi opened the box with the key. Tian Minyan looked over and saw an old silver hairpin inside. The head of the hairpin was decorated with a plum blossom, and under the hairpin, there was
Two-sided silk scarf.
Luo Shi picked up the hairpin, looked at it carefully for a while, his eyes were sad, he gritted his teeth and handed it to Tian Huairen: "Dad, you can pawn it in a gold shop."
"What's the point?" Tian Huairen refused to accept it as if it was a hot hand. He waved his hand vigorously and said, "This is the only thought your mother has left for you. It won't happen anymore."
It turned out that this plum blossom hairpin was the last thing left by Luo Shi's mother.
Luo Shi is the old daughter of the Luo family. Her mother, Luo Zhou, died of illness when she was only a few years old. It was Luo Shi's sister-in-law who raised her. Originally, Luo Zhou left a few things to Luo, but because of poverty, she
Luo had already pawned several things. Of course, most of the money was given to Jiang, and this plum blossom hairpin was the last thing he thought about.
"Everyone is gone, and staying here will only add to the sadness. Mom, she won't blame me even if she thinks about it." Luo Shi said lightly, but her eyes were clearly red, and tears were pooling in her eyes.
If it wasn't really difficult, how could she be willing to pawn her mother's last thoughts?
