Chapter 674 Extra Story: The Qu Family Siblings (3)

Zhaodi held the money and went out with a tense expression. It was the first time for her to take so much money, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous. She was afraid that she would lose the money, so she walked quickly to Uncle Gong's house.

Qu Weizhen just went out. She didn't change her clothes, she was still wearing her own clothes. Although Qu's mother was a little dissatisfied when she saw her, but because there were guests, and now she was very unfamiliar with Pandi, a feeling rose in her heart. A feeling of dread.

While Laidi was washing vegetables with Daidi, he secretly glanced at Qu Weizhen. Qu Weizhen noticed her gaze and turned back to smile at her.

Laidi lowered her head in shame, not daring to look more.

When Zhaodi brought back the pork, the three of them just cleaned the pot and vegetables and picked them up.

When Mother Qu saw Zhaodi coming back with so much meat, her eyes widened in surprise.

Zhaodi directly carried the meat into the kitchen and handed it to Qu Weizhen, and said in a low voice, "There's only so much."

Qu Weizhen glanced at it and said with a smile, "That's enough."

Mother Qu rushed into the kitchen without her son, and asked sharply and angrily, "Who asked you to buy meat? How much does it cost? How can the family have money to pay the bill?"

Qu Weizhen turned her head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, the bill has been paid."

Mother Qu's expression froze, and she asked, "Where did you get the money?"

"I made some money by copying books, and it was so easy to go home. I have to be filial to my parents, so I asked my eldest sister to use the money to buy meat. I should have bought it from outside, but I was in a hurry, so I didn't." Empty to buy..."

"Won't you give me the money if you don't have time to buy it? You'll be extravagant with just a little money," Qu Mu was furious, "Would you die if you didn't eat a piece of meat?"

"I was thinking that it would not be easy for the bodyguard to send us back, and he couldn't be rude, so..." Qu Weizhen slightly lowered his head and said, "We can't let the guests who come from afar eat only green vegetables, right? He and my younger brother pointed at them to escort us back to Beijing."

Mother Qu has always been shrewd and understands Qu Weizhen's subtext. If she treats the bodyguard badly now, they may not treat her son wholeheartedly when they are bodyguards in the next year. In the end, it will be her little treasure who suffers.

Mother Qu gritted her teeth, stepped forward and pushed Qu Weizhen away and said, "Don't cut so many, just cut in half."

Said it was half, but only cut out a palm-sized piece of meat and handed it to Zhaodi, and said with a straight face: "Okay, I will freeze the rest and eat it during the Chinese New Year."

In the weather like this now, as long as the meat is left out overnight, it can be frozen into ice cubes.

Qu Weizhen was quite speechless, this time she didn't say anything, but directly took the knife from Qu Mu's hand, pulled the meat over and started cutting, she turned her head and smiled at Qu Mu while cutting: "Don't worry, mother, the New Year's Day There will be meat."

Mother Qu's heart trembled, and she saw the coldness in her eyes, and she didn't dare to interfere with the cold edge of the kitchen knife.

Qu Weizhen cooked all the meat in this way, entertained the bodyguards and sent them away.

When she went back, Mother Qu was unpacking their bags in the room, and Qu Jingxi stopped her with a red face, "Mother, you messed up Third Sister's bags, she won't be able to find things in a while."

"What do you mean it's hard to find something? I'll just see what you all brought back. Didn't you say you made money outside? Where's the money?"

Qu Weizhen sneered in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, he stepped forward to pull the burden and said, "Mother, here is the money."

After finishing speaking, he took out a folded dress, took out a small bag from it, and opened it to show her that there were strings of copper coins inside.

There are one hundred texts in a string, and there are about seven or eight strings in this small bag.

Mother Qu's eyes were bright, she stepped forward and pulled the small bag into her arms to count, Qu Weizhen said softly: "I copied the books for the bookstore in my spare time, because I study for a short time, so I get less wages. , there may be more in two years. Mother, don't hold it back."

"I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it," Mother Qu smiled, and she finally felt a little satisfied when she saw her, "As long as you don't forget your roots and remember your family."

Qu Weizhen smiled, and continued to unpack the bag and said, "Because I knew I was going home for the New Year, I also bought some cloth to make new clothes for my parents. Mother, you should try it first to see if it fits, and then change it if it doesn't fit. At that time When it was done, it was made bigger and easier to change.”

Mother Qu looked at the cotton-padded clothes she took out, and she was happy in her heart, but she said: "What kind of clothes are you making properly? It's a waste of money."

"Father and mother haven't added clothes for a long time. This is for my daughter to show respect to you. How can it be a waste of money?" Qu Weizhen stuffed the clothes into her arms and said with a smile, "Go and try."

Mother Qu hugged the clothes but didn't leave. She looked at the bulging bag and asked, "That bag is full of clothes? You can bring it to me, or you'll run back and forth and try to make trouble."

Qu Weizhen didn't seem to hear her words, and continued to take out clothes from the bag, took out a set of folded cotton clothes and trousers, and said: "This is for Dad, let him try it on when he comes back from the city. try."

After saying that, I stuffed it into Mother Qu's arms, then took out the next set, unfolded it, pulled Zhaodi to gesture on her body, and said with a smile: "This is for the eldest sister, when I made it, I guessed that the eldest sister has such a stature , so the cloth was also confiscated, and now it seems that my prediction is quite accurate."

Mother Qu's smile fell, she dropped the clothes in her arms and pulled Zhaodi's new clothes, gestured on her body, and saw that it was really small, she looked for it, and saw that there was really no cloth, she couldn't help but look a little ugly.

He said angrily: "What kind of clothes do you want to make? The family is so poor that it's almost impossible to get rid of it. With this money, it's better to buy food. And the clothes are too careless. Who do you see that doesn't accept cloth for making clothes? No You can't wear cloth clothes after a year, isn't this a waste of money?"

Qu Weizhen said with some grievances: "I also want to collect the cloth, but because I was not sure about your figure when I was wearing your mother's clothes, I collected more cloth, and there was less cloth left. Eldest sister and the others will collect it again." Cloth is not enough."

Qu Weizhen pulled back the clothes again, stuffed them to Zhaodi and said, "Eldest sister, go try it out and see if it suits you, if it doesn't fit, you can only wear it for the second sister."

Zhaodi took the clothes in a hurry, and looked at Qu's mother with some apprehension.

Mother Qu's face was black, but it was impossible to snatch the clothes. It would be fine if it was made bigger or wrapped in cloth, she could wear it, but she just compared it, and she couldn't wear the clothes at all. .

Besides, the clothes have been made and the money has been spent, so it is useless for her to say no now. It's not that Qu's mother can't understand this truth, but she always feels stuck in her heart, unable to get out or get out.

Except for Zhaodi, Laidi and Daidi also each have a set of cotton-padded clothes, and none of them accept cloth. The three sisters are holding brand new clothes. Although they all lower their heads, joy and happiness flashed in their eyes.

Only at this moment did they have the feeling that Pandi had returned.

Qu Jingxi had been standing aside watching, with a complex expression on his face. He looked at his sisters apologetically, and stretched out his hand to pull his mother out.

Mother Qu went back to her room with her clothes in her arms, and she couldn't help complaining to Qu Jingxi: "Your third sister spends too much money, does she do the same in the capital?"

"Mother, the third sister is already frugal enough. Among the people I know, no one is more frugal than the third sister."

"This is also called frugality, making so many sets of clothes..."

"It's the Chinese New Year, isn't it normal to make new clothes?" Qu Jingxi lowered her voice and said, "Besides, we haven't been home for a long time, so it's not right to make a set of clothes for Dad, you and your sisters." ?"

"Then just make a set for your father and me. Your eldest sister and the others are about to get married, and the water that the married daughter poured out, what new clothes are you going to make at this time..."

Qu Jingxi frowned, and said disapprovingly: "Even if the older sisters get married, they are still my older sisters. Could it be that they don't recognize me as my younger brother, nor their parents after they get married?"

Mother Qu opened her mouth, unable to speak.

And Qu Weizhen in the side room took out a lot of things from the luggage for the sisters, such as handkerchiefs, hair flowers, sewing kits, and a wooden comb with a particularly beautiful carver.

All are in hand.

The girls loved the little things and put their new clothes aside. Zhaodi took the wooden comb in her hand and looked at it again and again, pursing her lips and smiling happily.

Laidi and Daidi held hair flowers and wanted to tie each other's hair.

Qu Weizhen smiled slightly, bent down and reached into the belly of the kang to feel it, and found a small bundle.

Zhao Di and the others were stunned, wondering when she threw this thing into the kang belly, but Qu Mu didn't suspect it just now.

Qu Weizhen patted the bundle clean, and when she saw their expressions, she warned in a low voice: "I hid this secretly, mother doesn't know, eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister, you can't tell mother."

The three sisters nodded blankly.

It was too easy for Qu Weizhen to hide things. Just now, Qu's mother was only focused on pulling Qu Jingxi. She brought the bag back by herself. This small bag was placed in the big bag, and she threw it away when she entered the house. Kang belly went.

The purpose is to avoid Qu Mu's search.

She opened the bundle, and there were two boxes inside. She took out the larger one and opened it, and the eyes of the three Zhaodi sisters immediately became straight.

It was full of silver hairpins and silver bracelets, which Zhaodi and the others had seen on some elders, and they would only wear them to show off at festive occasions.

Qu Weizhen pulled the three of them to her side, and said in a low voice, "I called this for you, and you can use it as a dowry when you get married."

Laidi's eyes were shining, but Zhaodi couldn't help saying in a low voice: "Father and mother will not agree."

"That's why we won't tell them." Qu Weizhen divided the things into three parts, pushed them to them and said, "Look at it, you like it, I'll put it away for you later, hide it at that time, and wear it after you get married."

The three sisters had never done such a thing to hide from their parents, and they were entangled for a while, but looking at the silver hairpins and silver bracelets on the kang, their hearts became very hot.

There is no girl who does not love jewelry.

The three sisters finally nodded and agreed to Qu Weizhen, and the four sisters had a big secret again, and the relationship was shortened a lot.

Qu Weizhen knocked on a stone beside the kang in front of them, then pulled out the stone and stuffed the box in, it was just right.

The three sisters were dumbfounded. They had lived in this house for so many years and never knew there was a hole here.
