"Mother, these pearls are so beautiful. Give me a few!”I said cutely.
"If you want it, take it. There are plenty of these beads. If you don't have them, go buy them again. These small beads are sold by catty. They are all small decorations.”
( I don't want to talk anymore. I'll just pick the beads silently!
A few white bean-sized beads jumped out and placed them on the rope I had woven. They looked even more beautiful with pearls, but the holes in these pearls were very small and could not be worn on the rope. Should he add it? It looks good even if you don't add it! I'm in a dilemma here!
"Do you want to use these small beads that you picked?”
"Mother, I'm thinking about whether to add the pearl to my rope. You see, it'll be even more beautiful if you add it, but the hole of this pearl is too small to put on the rope!”
"Haha, my silly daughter, if you want to add this to the rope, just sew it on the rope with embroidery thread!”
Yeah, why didn't I react in time!
"Mother, do you also want to add pearls to your rope?”
"Yeah, didn't you just say that it would be more beautiful with pearls? I'll try it too. Look, Mom made a blue one. Wouldn't it be more beautiful with a few pearls between the flower heart and the flower?”
After a while, my mother weaved another blue one. The dark blue and light blue colors complemented each other and made it simple, elegant, and unique, fresh and beautiful! If he used white pearls to embellish it, it would increase the grade and make him look high-end and noble!
"Mother, you'll definitely look especially good when you weave it. My mother is the most beautiful!”I said sweetly!
"Come, Little Jia, go put this on your grandma!”My mother gave me the first hand rope she made and asked me to put it on my grandmother. My mother is really filial.
I took the rope and ran to Granny's side with a fawning smile." Granny, look at what I taught my mother to weave. Isn't it beautiful? I'll put it on for you!"
"Our Little Jia is so smart. She can weave such a beautiful rope. Come and put it on! When grandma goes out, she must tell everyone how amazing our Little Jia is!”
"Mother, I made that up. Why don't you praise me?”
"Why are you still jealous of your own daughter? Useless."
While we were chatting and laughing, it was already dinner time.
First Aunt finished cooking and came in." Mother, the meal is ready today. Do you want to set it up now or wait for Father to come back?”
"We'll talk about it when they come back. You don't have to worry about it. Just leave it in the kitchen and let Aunt Ge keep it warm! By the way, you should go back and discuss with Dajiang to buy some rice! I heard that the price has risen sharply now!"
"We studied it a few days ago, but we don't have much cash on hand, so we didn't dare to buy so much. Now that the price of mule and horse feed has increased, we still have to pay the workers.”
First Aunt was crying about poverty. She was probably trying to make up for her grandparents!
"Humph! No matter how poor your family is, it's still much better than Third Brother's family. His family didn't even say anything and you're nagging here! Go back to your courtyard and cook." the old lady said unhappily.
" Speaking of which, my uncle's family is more well-off. My uncle is willing to work hard and doesn't have any bad habits. The business of the mule shop is also good and he can save a lot of money. However, my uncle's family is far inferior. My uncle only has two taels of silver a month. Adding on the oil and water, he doesn't even have five taels of silver left. There's not much left for the family to eat and drink. Moreover, my uncle is involved in eating, drinking, and gambling. He doesn't have much money on hand. If it wasn't for my aunt's amazing ability to control my uncle, he might have been drinking northwest wind. Although my grandparents will definitely help, they can't help forever. It's not enough to get a good wife!
First Aunt didn't manage to take advantage of him and went back dejectedly.
"Aunt Ge!" The old lady shouted.
"I'm here. What's the matter, Boss?"
"Aunt Ge, if you're hungry, eat first. I don't know when the old man and the others will be back! If you're late, you don't have to wait for them. You should go home!”
"It's okay. I'm not hungry yet. It's fine even if I go back later! By the way, there's no more food at home. Do you need to bring any food tomorrow?”
"Buy a grouper tomorrow! The other day, Little Jia said she wanted to eat scallops, so she bought some when she saw you. You can buy the other vegetables. The three of them will go home the day after tomorrow. Let's buy something delicious!”
"It's not easy to buy groupers now. Many boats don't allow us to fish anymore.”
"Yellow croaker, grouper, and swordfish are all fine. If there's really no grass carp, I'll do it. I like to eat the fish my son-in-law makes. I'll buy more pork belly. I'll make braised pork tomorrow and send some to the two hospitals. You can buy the scallops!”
"To both sides?" Aunt Ge was stunned. How much meat was that? There were many people living in Third Brother's house now! Can I carry so many things by myself? Let our son come along tomorrow! After making up his mind, he replied," Alright, I'll buy it!”
The old lady took out half a tael of silver that she had prepared." Take this. Let your son go with you tomorrow. The rest of the money will be used as money for him to run errands!”
"There's no need to give him any money to run errands. It's not troublesome either!”
"How can I let the child work for nothing? Listen to me and take it!”
"Thank you, Boss!"
"What are you talking about?" My grandpa is back!
"Grandpa! You must be tired today!" I ran over to Grandpa and acted coquettishly.
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired.”
"No, we'll wait for grandpa and dad to come back and eat together!”
"Our Little Jia missed us so much today! You're sensible now." Grandpa hugged me and said with a smile!
"I'll ask Auntie Ge to buy more groceries tomorrow. Aren't they going home the day after tomorrow?”the old lady said.
"My mother asked me to buy more pork belly. She said that I'll make more tomorrow and send some to both of them!”My mother said from the side.
"It's my duty. I'll cook tomorrow. Father likes to eat what I cook.”My father said.
"Alright, Auntie Ge, help me set up the food!”My mother said as she went to the kitchen with Aunt Ge.
...
"Master, Father and Mother said that we should hurry up and buy some food. Recently, the price of grain has risen sharply and they want us to buy it ourselves!”When First Aunt returned to the courtyard, she looked for First Uncle and said.
"Didn't we say that we would buy it tomorrow? What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? This elder sister's family's food is bought by her parents. You're her son, so why don't you help her?”
"Didn't you just use our car once?”
"Hmph, it costs at least 30 wen to use a carriage to transport food. It's not money! Your parents are biased. Young Lady comes back to stay when she has nothing to do. Aren't your parents paying for all the food and drinks? They don't even give anything to our son!”
"Alright, stop nagging. Is the meal ready?”
"Hmph, you only know how powerful I am!"
...
"Boss, how much grain did you buy today? Did you go home?" My mother asked when we returned to the west room after dinner.
"We don't have many people, but I'm afraid that my parents might not have prepared anything in case they need it. I bought 500 catties of rice and 200 catties of noodles, 10 catties of salt, soy sauce, and a jar of vinegar. By the way, I took 5 taels of silver and 5 taels of silver from your box.”
"Yes, I know. How much will you spend on rice and noodles today?”
"When we went there in the afternoon, the price of the rice had risen again. It was already 10 copper coins. The new rice was sold out. The white flour I bought was 12 copper coins. Because I found an acquaintance, although the price was not cheap, I got 10 catties of soybeans as a gift.”
"Then how much money do you have on you? Is it enough for five taels? Don't treat me with insufficient money. Now that everything is going up in price, you have to bring enough money to treat me.”
"Less than five taels should be enough!”
"Don't be so stingy. You've already treated me, so don't be stingy. Tomorrow, take the money my mother gave you and wait for me to return in a few days. After a few days, I'll sell the embroidery work that I've saved up. It's almost time for the bank to withdraw the money. I'll cash it out first. In case I have something urgent to use, it's good to have cash on hand!”
