Chapter Seventy-Eight: Five or Six Days of Departure
Xia Qinghe was really sad when she saw this scene, she saw that several women were reluctant to eat, and secretly pinched the pastries in their hands. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She smiled mildly and said: "I came to the village to take care of everyone, I will not leave here in a short time, so there are many places that need to trouble everyone, I dare not guarantee a lot of silver, in short, I will not treat everyone badly." She said this from the bottom of her heart.
Aunt Liao smiled gently, thinking that Xia Qinghe was really a good girl, she didn't talk to Xia Qinghe before, and she didn't have much feeling, but now that she talked to Xia Qinghe, she felt that Xia Qinghe was really good: "Then tomorrow I will go directly into the mountains to dig kudzu, and then wash it and send it over." ”
Xia Qinghe looked at the other women in the yard, and said very seriously: "It's good to wash the kudzu root and send it over directly, you should also pay attention to safety when you go to dig kudzu in the woods, Xiao Chu said that wild boars are often infested in the woods at this time, and it is better to be in groups of three or five." ”
Aunt Chu also nodded in agreement: "This is true, Huzi also saw the wild boar's hoof prints in the woods, everyone should be careful when entering the mountain, there are many in the kudzu woods, you can find them with a little care, and safety is important when the New Year is approaching." ”
These words are very pertinent, and Xia Qinghe also followed a few words.
The people in the village are busy, and although there is nothing to do during this season, they always have to keep themselves busy to feel at ease.
Aunt Chu left with everyone, and the lively courtyard was quiet after a while.
Xiao Chu waited until those people were gone before entering the courtyard, he walked to Xia Qinghe's side and sat down, looked at her with the corners of his lips slightly hooked, and said, "It feels comfortable to be a big boss." ”
This is making fun of her, don't think she doesn't know, Xia Qinghe pursed his lips and glared at Xiao Chu: "Don't make fun of me, isn't this a duck on the shelves and forced to be helpless, if you don't want to make money, how can you live your life, you can make a few pennies a pound." ”
Xiao Chu took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Xia Qinghe.
Xia Qinghe took it suspiciously, and looked at Xiao Chu with some surprise: "What is this?" ”
Xiao Chu smiled lightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Guess." ”
"Can't guess." Xia Qinghe said that he had already opened it.
There are two red headbands and two pink beaded flowers in the cloth bag, which is particularly beautiful.
She raised her head in surprise and looked at Xiao Chu, and asked with wide eyes in disbelief, "You gave me this?" ”
Xiao Chu coughed dryly, hiding the nervousness in his heart: "Seeing that there is nothing on your head, there is a little girl's appearance there, and by the way, I bought it when I saw someone selling it." After speaking, he looked at the other side, not daring to look at Xia Qinghe at all.
Xia Qinghe pinched the bead flower and liked it very much, and couldn't help but gesture on his hair: "But I'm embarrassed to accept it, it's the first time I've received such a gift." ”
It was too unexpected, after all, she didn't think of dressing herself up, but the girl's family didn't like these ornaments, especially the bead workmanship was particularly fine.
Xiao Chu tidied up the leather jacket on his body and said, "Don't think about it, I just bought it when I saw it, and you have already planned how to do business?" ”
He was afraid that Xia Qinghe would ask strange questions, so he quickly diverted the topic.
Xia Qinghe wrapped the beads carefully, she was reluctant to wear the beads now, and kept them for when she went to the market in the future.
She looked at Xiao Chu with a smile and thanked: "Thank you for giving me a gift, I have thought of a way, it is not realistic to dig kudzu by myself alone, you look at my hands." ”
She stretched out her two hands, and the blisters next to each other made Xiao Chu feel distressed.
Xia Qinghe pouted a little helplessly: "I can't dig kudzu myself, and the people in the village know, they won't believe me if they don't see the silver, I have to make results, but it takes too much time to make results, I can't afford to delay, during this time, the kudzu vines have not completely withered, so the kudzu can be easily found, and after a while, especially after the snow, the kudzu can't be found at all, what should I do then?" ”
"Makes sense." Xiao Chu listened carefully, and also hoped to help Xia Qinghe solve problems.
Xia Qinghe held his face with both hands and propped his elbows on his knees and said: "Tell everyone to dig and wash it for me, I can ask someone to mash the kudzu root, clean it myself, and the cost of drying starch by myself will be lower, so this business can still be done." ”
She has made starch herself, and the pueraria starch in this season is very heavy, which happens to be the golden time.
Xiao Chu didn't doubt this, but he was worried that Xia Qinghe was too tired.
"You still have to pay attention to rest, although it is important to make money, by the way, I have something to leave temporarily in two days, I will give the boat to Da Huzi, if you want to go to the town and ask Da Huzi to send you, I estimate that I will be back in five or six days." He used to leave the village at any time without the slightest concern, but since he met Xia Qinghe, he was always worried that he would be in trouble if he left Xia Qinghe.
It should have left a long time ago, but it has been hesitating and has been delayed until now.
Xia Qinghe was a little nervous, and somehow she got used to the days when Xiao Chu was there, and suddenly Xiao Chu wanted to leave, she really wasn't used to it.
"Are you just away for five or six days? Pay attention to safety when you go out and come back early. She thought for a moment, and finally swallowed back what she had to say.
Zhu Xiaochang was extremely excited, he didn't know that he was tired at all when he practiced archery, and when he came back, the sun had already set, Xia Qinghe originally only wanted to prepare a simple meal, but when he thought that Xiao Chu would come back in five or six days, he simply got busy, caught a fish in the water tank, and made a pot of sauerkraut fish.
On the second day, many people in the village went into the mountain, Xia Qinghe and Zhu Xiaochang were not idle, and tidied up the firewood room well, if Ge Gen came back, she planned to pile it in the firewood room, and the yard was also tidied up a little.
Gou Chunlan walked around the village and found that there were only a few old people left in the village to take care of the house, and the slightly stronger ones all went into the mountains.
She naturally knew about Xia Qinghe's acquisition of kudzu, but she thought that Xia Qinghe would not become a climate, but now seeing that there was no one in the village, it was like being slapped in the face, yesterday she was still saying that no one in the village would dig kudzu, but today the village is empty.
Zhu Liuzheng felt that nothing was going well, and looked at Gou Chunlan standing outside the courtyard in a daze, and couldn't help yelling angrily: "What are you doing stupidly, why don't you come over and serve me quickly." ”
Gou Chunlan was not in a good mood, she entered the courtyard anxiously and closed the door angrily, and yelled at Zhu Liuzheng: "What's the use of you, your son was forced to leave the house, and I don't know if Dashi can eat and dress when he goes out, and I don't know if the injuries on his body are healed." Gou Chunlan cried as she spoke.
