They have seen the scene countless times, but they really can't rely on Hua Qiang. Now they use this as an excuse to find Hua Qiang, and no one in the village will do it.
In the past, they were not afraid of whether the villagers would do it or not. At most, stare at them! But now it's not enough, and if they provoke again, the villagers really dare to do it.
In particular, Hua Zhao has been so swaying recently that he has bought off the entire village!
At this time, it is even more impossible to confront Hua Qiang head-to-head.
"Have they entered the mountain again recently?" Huashan asked.
Farming is over, and even his family has been going into the mountains every day these few days, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains. Most of the extra money of the year refers to this time. After a few days of snowfall, the mountain will not be able to enter, "heavy snow seals the mountain", the snow will be waist-thick by then, and people will not be able to walk at all.
"I didn't go." Hua Zhenniu said. He was paying attention.
Huashan didn't say anything, took two puffs of cigarettes, and looked out the window.
In autumn, the wind is strong, and the small trees at the door are bent.
The north wind blows today, and based on his experience, the wind will increase at night. In the past few days, the first snow of winter may be ushered in.
Huashan glanced at several sons in the house, the boss was abolished and was not in front of him. The second child is shrewd, but timid. The third child is just one word, tiger. The fifth is the hope of the family.
"Fourth, stay after dinner." Hua Shan said.
"Hey." Hua Zhenniu responded calmly.
The women in the kitchen also made the meal and went into the house to set the table to eat.
Wang Xiufen glanced at Hua Zhenniu, but Hua Zhenniu didn't look at her.
Dinner is simple, but not rich, and even less delicious.
The daughters-in-law of the Huashan family have not touched the kitchen for many years, and they have no talent, and now they are barely able to eat.
If it weren't for their hatred with Hua Zhao, they would all want to send these old ladies to find Hua Zhao to study.
After eating silently, the other sons voluntarily avoided, leaving only Hua Zhenniu in the house.
Before leaving, Wang Xiufen struggled a bit: "Master, the pigsty at home collapsed yesterday, don't you want to repair it today?"
Hua Zhenniu glanced at her and said naturally: "I'll just talk to my father, and then go back to repair the pigsty."
What else can Wang Xiufen say? She had to go alone.
There were no outsiders in the room, and Huashan said directly: "It's windy tonight, you go and light his firewood stack, go in the middle of the night, don't let anyone see it." Of course, the real goal cannot be just a firewood stack.
This time, Hua Zhen Newton took a long time before saying "hey".
He dared to respond because he thought it was easy to handle, and it wasn't a big problem. As long as he wasn't caught at the scene, even if he knew that someone deliberately set the fire, what evidence would he have?
"It's done, half of his family's money will be given to you." Hua Shan said.
He didn't know whether Hua Qiang had a solid foundation or not. He probably let Hua Zhao eat it before. After a few months, Hua Zhao lost weight, and he may have saved a little.
But Hua Zhao is rich. Her man gave her 2,000. She lent Zhang Guilan 500 before and paid her back not long ago. When she went to the capital, her parents-in-law didn't give her a gift or change money?
Hua Qiang's sons and daughters suddenly came to the door and didn't give any filial piety money?
Even if there is none, 2,000 yuan is an astronomical sum for rural people. Ordinary people save up to 200 yuan for a lifetime. Whoever does not suffer from famine will have a good life.
Hua Zhenniu smiled, he dared to do this because it was "profitable".
Hearing his father's promise, Hua Zhenniu got off the kang and went home. How to do it does not need to be taught by the father, he will.
Hua Zhenniu went home.
It was already dark outside, the kerosene lamp was lit inside, and Wang Xiufen was sewing clothes on the kang. Winter is coming soon, and the padded jacket should be taken out for disassembly, washing, and sewing.
Seeing Hua Zhenniu coming back, Wang Xiufen continued her work and asked naturally, "What is Dad doing with you?"
"Tell me about the eldest brother's family." Hua Zhenniu said naturally: "The eldest brother is like this, all three of his sons should marry wives, and the family has no money. In the future, our brothers will have to help each other."
"It should be." Wang Xiufen said.
But she didn't believe it at all, shouldn't the whole family be left to discuss this kind of thing? How can I just tell him?
Hua Zhenniu also found this loophole and added: "Dad will discuss it with me first. After we have discussed it, I will tell everyone when Maodong is over."
This seems to be true. Usually, if there is any major matter that needs to be discussed, Huashan will definitely be the first to find Hua Zhenniu.
But Wang Xiufen still didn't believe it.
But she didn't make a sound, she sewed for a while, and suddenly "ouch".
"What's wrong?" Hua Zhenniu asked.
"I met Mrs. Liu today, and she told me not to leave for a long time. I didn't react at the time, but now I suddenly remembered that I borrowed a few eggs from her family and haven't paid it back! This is my call!"
Hua Zhenniu is not very old, only 30 this year. The two have been married for many years. They have a son and a daughter. They are both children.
There is nothing delicious in the countryside, eggs are one.
In autumn, both of them caught a cold. In order to coax their children, they ate a lot of eggs. They ran out of their own, so they borrowed a few from someone they knew.
The Huashan family has no relationship, but Wang Xiufen has been married to the village for 10 years, and she also has a few "girlfriends" who can talk and borrow eggs.
"Our family has no eggs now." Hua Zhenniu said.
In late autumn, chickens will not lay eggs.
"She also ordered me during the day, saying that the wheat in the team is delicious this year, but there are too few, and there is not enough dumplings for the New Year." Wang Xiufen said: "This is to make me take the wheat."
The production team also grows wheat. Even if the output of this stuff is low, it is not a task food, so it grows less. A family can divide a few kilograms or ten kilograms a year, and it is enough to make a dumpling.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to eat dumplings in a place that doesn't grow wheat, because they have no money or tickets to go to the city to buy noodles!
"Then take the wheat." Hua Zhenniu said.
The Huashan family is shameless, and they can't pick it up if they want, but Hua Zhenniu likes Wang Xiufen to get along better with the villagers, so there is a place to borrow an egg.
So he will not default on this kind of thing, otherwise there will be absolutely no next time.
Wang Xiufen discussed with him how much wheat to return, then got up and went to the kitchen to weigh it, put on her clothes, and walked away with the basin.
"The head of the house, it's too dark outside and can't see clearly. The pigsty will be repaired during the day tomorrow. You go to bed first, I might have a chat with Mrs. Liu for a while." Wang Xiufen said when she was going out.
"Yeah." Hua Zhenniu responded, undressed and lay down.
Wang Xiufen walked quickly to Mrs. Liu's house.
During the day, she actually heard what Sister Liu meant, but she just pretended to be stupid and didn't respond. She thought that she might be able to use it...
When we arrived at Mrs. Liu's house, they returned the eggs with white flour. Mrs. Liu's family was really happy. His family has no children to get used to, not short of eggs, but short of white noodles.
Wang Xiufen sat at her house for another 10 minutes, chatted for a while, and walked away with a wink when she saw that she was going to sleep.
After leaving the Liu's yard, look at the sky outside. Today is cloudy, there are no stars and no moon, and you can barely see your fingers. There are only occasional lights from the houses, which roughly guide her in the direction.
Wang Xiufen groped and ran towards Hua Zhao's house, and fell two somersaults on the way.
