Chapter 24: cheat
Hua Zhao left happily with 15 yuan and Hua Qiang, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative next to him.
There are so many things you need at home! First is the fabric.
The dowry gift from Ye Shen included 6 quilts and a few pieces of fabric, but those fabrics were so good that Hua Zhao was reluctant to use them.
That piece of golden flower red cloth is enough for her sumo figure to make a vest!
As for herself, she has only two clothes that she can barely wear, one of which has been shaved into a beggar's clothes because she has entered the mountain several times.
Therefore, she is in urgent need of sturdy fabrics to make clothes.
There are also those bedding, which are very new. It is a pity that they are dirty, and they are not easy to remove and wash. She also needs sheets and quilts.
Also need cotton and soft cotton, she has to start getting stuff for the babies!
Quilts, clothes, shoes, hats, everything has to be double, just think about it and get excited!
Hua Zhao's eyes lit up for a while, and the 15 yuan was gone in a blink of an eye, and even the salary that Hua Qiang had just received, 50 yuan, was gone.
Hua Qiang smiled a little reluctantly.
The speed at which his little flower spends money seems to be even faster... But this time, instead of buying food, he is buying clothes, which surprises him.
But he soon realized that Xiaohuaer is a big girl and has a man of her own, so she should dress up.
It's just... Hua Qiang glanced at the back who was walking in front of him with a full willow basket on his back, and the wind was blowing under his feet.
He's not actually blind.... and knows that others are not blind.
......
The two of them arrived at the train station in large bags and waited for the next bus to go home, but they didn't know that someone had already arrived outside their house on the last bus.
"Is anyone there?" the two men shouted while standing outside Hua Qiang's house.
As a result, no one responded for a long time.
"Who are you looking for?" Hua Xiaoyu suddenly asked weakly behind the two.
But her eyes were fixed on a bicycle behind the man, a strange table she had never seen before, and a large box on the table.
"Fellow fellow, is there no one in Hua Qiang's house? He went out?" A man turned his head and looked at Hua Xiaoyu and asked politely.
Hua Xiaoyu's eyes flashed, and she said shyly, "You are looking for my great grandfather. He is not at home. He took Hua Zhao to the town early in the morning to buy food. It is estimated that he will return after dark."
In fact, she didn't know where the two of them went, but she wanted to "reconcile" with Hua Zhao today, but she found out that the two were not at home at all. They didn't see them back for a long time. I guess they really went to the town to buy some goods. go to eat.
Thinking of those delicious food, Hua Xiaoyu's stomach is sour.
"Who are you?" she asked the two of them politely.
"We gave something for Comrade Ye Shen. This is his dowry gift, a bicycle, a sewing machine, a radio, and a watch." The man said with a smile, not seeing Hua Xiaoyu's face twisted for a moment.
She felt that she might be ill, and her whole body was sour from the inside out as if she had been soaked in a vinegar vat.
"Hua Qiang is your grandfather?" the man asked Hua Xiaoyu.
Hua Xiaoyu suddenly smiled, with a particularly sweet smile: "Yes, he is my eldest grandfather, my grandfather is his brother, and I am Hua Zhao's best sister!"
"Oh." The man looked at her and the sky again. If he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to catch the bus back to the provincial capital at night. They still have important work tomorrow.
"Let's move things to my house first. Although they won't be lost in the yard, we have wild boars, roe deer, foxes, etc. here from time to time, and it will be bad if they are damaged."
Hua Xiaoyu smiled and said to the two: "When my grandfather comes back, we will send it to him."
"Okay." The two men looked at each other and smiled at her.
Then one person pushes the cart and one person holds the sewing machine box at the back of the cart.
However, they did not trust Hua Xiaoyu either.
Along the way, they inquired about 5 families, and they all confirmed that Hua Xiaoyu was telling the truth, and the two families were indeed brothers.
As for whether the relationship is good or not, there is no more talk from the villagers.
Hua Qiang, they don't want to offend.
But Huashan, they dare not offend!
That was a ruthless person. They didn't want to be beaten by the Huashan family's sap, nor did they want to be poured down by people in summer, and they didn't want to be lit by firewood in winter.
So they watched helplessly as Hua Xiaoyu deceived people and went to Huashan's house with something.
"This Hua Xiaoyu is not a thing!"
Several women gathered together to chat.
"Yes, yes, I didn't find it in the past."
"Why didn't you find out? That's you stupid." A woman sneered: "Look at Hua Xiaoyu, when did you go to Hua Zhao's house without smearing your lips? Hua Zhao's violent temper can't be coaxed without a snack?"
"Huh? Speaking of this, I remembered it. Hua Zhao doesn't seem to have a violent temper? He also likes to laugh and is very kind?"
"Hey, right! I'm just saying it's weird. Did you find it? That Hua Zhao seems to be a little whiter, and he's not so annoying when he smiles."
It seems a little crooked, but no one cares.
"If you don't go out every day, you are also white!" said a seventeen-eight-year-old girl touching her face.
She was very angry, and she was also very dark, but in the past, Hua Zhao was compared, and no one made fun of her, but from the day of Hua Zhao's wedding, some people said that she was actually the darkest person in the village!
pissed her off! She also wants to have a good grandfather like Hua Zhao, a good man, endless money, and all kinds of dowry...
However, she didn't.
So angry!
It seems that Hua Zhao has become a member of the whole village in another identity. No, this time, he has become the object of hatred by the young girls and wives of the whole village.
......
Hua Xiaoyu brought people home.
It was lunch break and meal time, and the Huashan family were all there.
"Grandpa! These are two comrades from the provincial capital. Come and give my sister Xiaohua a betrothal gift!" Hua Xiaoyu shouted when she entered the door: "But my sister Xiaohua went to the town and can't come back until it gets dark, so just put the things in our place first. Bar."
"Hey, okay, okay!" No need to practice at all, the Daniel's daughter-in-law naturally cooperated: "Don't worry if you let it go, it's guaranteed not to break!"
Such a good thing, how could they be willing to break it!
The rest of the Huashan family reacted and were very polite, either saying nothing or flattering, taking the two men comfortable and sending them away.
"Good job." Huashan praised Hua Xiaoyu for the first time.
Hua Xiaoyu was stunned on the spot, she couldn't believe her ears! She was praised by her grandfather? This is the first time Grandpa has praised her when she has grown so big!
This is even the first time Grandpa has officially spoken to her this year!
She blushed with excitement.
Huashan is more satisfied.
"Dad, when will we return this thing?" Hua Sanniu's daughter-in-law Jiang Qin asked while touching the sewing machine.
Although she also likes and needs bicycles, she knows that she can't earn a brother-in-law at all.
That would be nice to have a sewing machine too! Although she doesn't have much needlework all year round, she has access to a sewing machine.
But useless and useless are two concepts!
With this sewing machine, she is the most envied woman in eight villages!
"What else? What's in my house is mine." Huashan replied frankly and shamelessly: "When will it be worn out, and when will it be returned."
