Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Chapter 67: Good deeds

Li Haitang is not an unreasonable person as long as you hand over the money, he asked his younger brother's new book Tong Sixi, "Let's leave for Lucheng tomorrow, you should go back and say hello to your family first." .”

"Master, can I advance one month's money?"

Sixi lowered her head very low, and her voice was very low. His uncles and aunts were kind to him, and once his parents left, he was helpless, and his uncles and aunts didn't dislike him at all for being able to eat.

That winter, his aunt braved the wind and snow to wash clothes in the town for only two hundred Wen a month.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the water was bitingly cold, and my aunt's hands were full of cracks, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.

He is not stupid, he knows that my aunt is doing everything for his own good, the family is too difficult, my aunt's health is broken, and she always coughs at night.

"What's the reason?"

Li Haitang signaled Sixi to say something, so she didn't need to hide it.

"I'm going to Lucheng. I don't know when I'll be back. Seeing that it's getting cold, I want to pay out the first month's monthly silver in advance."

At the beginning of October, there will be snow in the north, and it is cheaper to buy charcoal now, otherwise the colder the weather, the higher the price of charcoal, and the firewood alone will not be enough for the family.

"no problem."

Li Haitang fully agreed, thinking of going to Sixi's uncle's and aunt's house to take a look first, and if the situation was difficult, she would help as soon as she could, so that Sixi would not have to worry about the future, and would not have to worry about family affairs all the time.

Li Jinhu was still not used to being called the young master, his face was reddish, and he deliberately walked with his hands behind his back. The group asked Sixi to lead the way and crossed one street after another.

Most of the people living in the north of the city are poor people, the houses are low, and the alleys are dark without sunlight.

Aunt Sixi lives in the third house at the entrance of the alley. There are only two small rooms with a kitchen on the side.

The yard is small, with two hens laying eggs and some firewood, it looks messy.

"Brother, you are back!"

The door was nailed together by patchwork of wooden boards. Sixi reached in and skillfully opened it from the inside.

There was a sound at the door, and two little children ran out of the room, the older one was an eight or nine-year-old girl, and the younger one was five or six years old, held by his sister.

"You son of a bitch, darling!"

When Sixi saw her siblings, she smiled honestly and introduced Li Haitang's family. It was the first time for Chen Daya to meet a stranger, she was very cautious, but she was a little girl, and she held on to Sixi, "Brother, my mother will send out moon silver today. She said that she can buy a few catties of rough noodles and use Chinese cabbage to make dumplings." Woolen cloth!"

"Yeah, let's all eat less and save it for you when the time comes."

When it came to eating, Chen Daya showed a smiling face, and then hesitated, "Brother, you found the master's house, can't you stay for dinner?"

"Yes, let him stay and eat."

The Chen family was dilapidated, and the house was completely empty. What Huang Jiya shop assistant said was right. Li Haitang was very touched. The family was united and cared for each other.

"There are still some cakes in the carriage, why not give them to eat."

When Xiao Lingchuan saw that his wife was missing, he knew that she was thinking of the Li family. In fact, everyone hopes to have relatives by their side, but they can't be forced. He will take good care of her in the future.

"Husband, let's not go in."

Hearing that Sixi's uncle was bedridden, it would be impolite for several people to rush to the door. It's better to just sit in the courtyard for a while and wait for Sixi's aunt to come home.

The cakes on the carriage were bought yesterday, Li Haitang was picky, he was not very interested in these trough cakes that only contained sugar and oil, and they only used them to fill their stomachs when they were hungry.

Trough cake is a good thing for the poor. Chen Daya and her younger brother Goudan were too scared to take it.

"Take it and eat it, as if it was given by your elder brother."

Li Haitang's impression of this big family improved a bit. The two children clearly looked eagerly, but they didn't reach out, which showed that they were well-bred.

Chen Daya glanced at Sixi, took it tremblingly, said hello, and entered the room.

A moment later, Sixi's second uncle leaned on a cane and went out with difficulty supporting the wall.

"My lord, we can eat some dog eggs, but we are not wrong, and we are a good boy."

Second Uncle Chen, with a gloomy complexion, begged, "As long as you feed him enough, he can do any dirty work. I hurt my leg and can't do any work, so my second aunt alone supports the family. Second uncle, I am ashamed of my dead brother and sister-in-law!"

As Uncle Chen said, the eyes of the seven-foot-tall man were red. If he hadn't built a house and fell down, he wouldn't have to rely on women to support his family.

"Second Uncle, what are you talking about? I'm dragging you down."

Sixi wiped away tears and told the whole story. It turned out that the family was going well. His parents had just left. He was young and ignorant. He only knew that he had to eat enough. After a few days, he went to the house to get a month's ration .

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, no one goes out to do work, but they can’t earn money, can’t afford rice noodles, and the family can’t survive last year.

His second uncle could only go out to find work, as long as the other party gave him enough money, that's how he broke his leg.

For more than half a year, he has been waiting to be sold. Every time someone comes to the door and hears that he can eat, he shakes his head like a rattle.

Sixi also tried eating less. After drinking cold water for a day, she passed out the next day.

"Broken leg for half a year..."

Li Haitang has a little research on bone setting, but she can't bring it up. As long as there is money for treatment, Chen Ershu should be able to recover, but the delay is too long. If the treatment is good, I am afraid that he will not be able to do heavy work in the future, and he may be a little lame.

"Second Uncle, the master promised me a month's advance payment, let's go and see the legs!"

He has 200 Wen a month, which is equivalent to a man in the town. The owner said that if he works hard, he will be rewarded in the future.

"Er Gouzi, you are lucky to meet a good master, but you can't always ask for help."

Uncle Chen taught us not to take other people's help for us for granted, otherwise, over time, we would easily become a white-eyed wolf.

It is human favor for others to help you when you are in trouble. It is also reasonable not to help. Even relatives cannot always make demands.

"Second uncle, I know, I will work hard."

Sixi nodded, he will definitely take good care of the young master, rush to work, prostitution is not so terrible, there is food and drink, the host family is easy to get along with, they are all good people.

"Second Uncle Chen, you don't have to take it to heart, the purpose of helping is to make Sixi have nothing to worry about."

Li Haitang didn't want the family to be too burdened. The ill-gotten gains she got from Qin Yuanwai hadn't been spent yet, so she didn't mind using them for charity.

"You are all good people, and good people are rewarded." Uncle Chen knew it well, he knew that if he received a little water from someone, he should repay it with springs. With his family's conditions, what can others do? Even if it is a piece of cake or a copper coin, he will keep it in his heart, and when he has the ability, he will definitely repay it twice.
