The next day, Mr. and Mrs. Chen really came early in the morning, with dust and dust on their bodies, and they were still carrying two small burdens. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Xiangwan had just woken up, and when he heard that Chen and his wife were coming, he quickly got up from the bed and freshened up.

There are few people in the family, Xu Qiuyi went to cook, and Zhang's health was not good, only Xiao Jiu sat alone in the living room and talked with him.

At the beginning of February, when it was warm and cold, Chen and his wife were only wearing a thin coat, and the heat from the previous rush had cooled down, and they were sitting in the living room with their hands rubbed together, their lips trembling a little.

After Xu Xiangwan cleaned up, he was about to go to the kitchen to bring two bowls of hot water to Chen Da, and happened to see Xu Qiuyi preparing to send a bowl of sweet wine and eggs to the living room.

"Sister, you go and do your work, I'll send it over." Things outside the home are now Xu Xiangwan's decision, so Chen and his wife can only be arranged by Xu Xiangwan when they come.

"Good. Be careful not to burn it. After Xu Qiuyi finished speaking, she went back to the kitchen to busy breakfast.

"Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, it's hard to travel, and it's cold weather, come and drink two bowls of sweet wine to warm up." Xu Xiangwan said with a smile as he entered the door.

Seeing Xu Xiangwan alone holding two bowls of mulled wine, the husband and wife quickly got up and took it and put it on the table.

"Girl, we've all had breakfast, and we'll tell us what you do. While it's not too late, let's hurry up and get to work, so as not to delay the work in the fields. Chen Dalian waved his hand repeatedly, grinning, and smiling very honestly.

Everyone Chen also nodded quickly, and echoed: "Yes, girl, we have all eaten, just waiting for you to arrange the work and go to the ground!" ”

"Uncle, aunt, although our family is not a rich family, we can't afford to drink two bowls of hot soup. You've traveled so far so early in the morning, you should be hungry even after breakfast, not to mention that the weather is very cold, and drinking it is just right to warm up. Don't be polite to us, the things in this field will depend on you in the future, if your body is burned, you can't do it. Xu Xiangwan pushed two bowls of sweet wine in front of the two of them, and said with a straight face.

Chen Da and his wife glanced at each other, but they smiled helplessly, and ate the sweet wine in front of them.

At first, Chen Da and his wife thought it was just two bowls of sweet wine soup, but they didn't expect that there were two poached eggs and some small rice balls at the bottom of the bowl later, and they were suddenly a little surprised and grateful.

When they first arrived, when they saw the dilapidated houses and the simple furnishings in the house, they still felt that the main family was not wealthy, and they did not have much hope. Unexpectedly, as soon as they sat down, they boiled sweet wine eggs, and there were two in a bowl, which they couldn't even think of if they put it in their home. There are only three old hens in their family, and no one is willing to eat the eggs they lay, so they all take them to the town for money, and the sweet wine is not something that a poor family like them can afford, and the sweet wine in the town is worth twenty or thirty eggs a pound, who is willing to eat it?

Mr. and Mrs. Chen are real people, and after eating such a bowl of sweet wine and eggs, they both feel that the main family treats people generously and well, and they have to work harder to succeed.

After eating the sweet wine, Xu Xiangwan went to the kitchen to take four big white steamed buns bought from the town yesterday, wrapped them in a clean white cloth, and filled two gourds with wine gourd for hot water, and then took the basket and other things and took Chen and his wife out of the door.

Xu Xiangwan's fields are all at the foot of Yinlong Mountain, not far from the old house, and there is a field path not far from the door that can go directly to the edge of the field.

When they arrived at the place, Xu Xiangwan first told Chen and his wife about the scope of their fields, and explained what they needed to do, so he untied the gourd from his waist and handed it to Aunt Chen with a cloth bag: "Uncle and aunt, there is still some time before noon this early morning, I have prepared some dry food for you, and you should be able to last until lunch." ”

After arranging the farm work, Xu Xiangwan went home to refine the hand ointment.

Mr. and Mrs. Chen didn't expect Xu Xiangwan to be so thoughtful, and while they were grateful in their hearts, they were also secretly surprised by the intelligence of this little master.

It's not easy in this family, the little girl looks like she's only seven or eight years old, and she's about to set up a family early.

Sympathizing with Xu Xiangwan's difficulty, and thanking him for his kindness to his own family, Chen Da and his wife had nothing to repay, so they only had one body of strength, so they worked harder when they worked, and it only took one day to pick six acres of pea tips.

Looking at the pea tips picked at home, Xu Xiangwan sighed in his heart, the weather is gradually getting warmer, the pea tips grow fast, and they are no longer as tender as in winter, it seems that this stubble can only be kept as tender peas after picking.

On the second day, Xu Xiangwan asked Mr. and Mrs. Chen to give the pea tips to the shopkeeper Feng, and a large cart of nearly 200 catties of pea tips was only sold for one or two taels of silver this time.

The nearby villagers saw that Xu Xiangwan's family planted pea tips for money, and they planted a lot, and the pea tips were already fast in spring, so the number of people selling pea tips in the town gradually increased, and the price was naturally a lot cheaper.

However, compared with ordinary vegetables and vegetables, a pound of pea tips for six cents is also expensive, after all, a pound of pork is only sold for ten cents!

After picking the pea tips, the broad beans in the field also began to ripen, and Xu Xiangwan asked Chen and his wife to start harvesting the ripe broad beans in the field.

At this time, although there are more fresh vegetables, but after all, the people who grow vegetables are a minority, except for cabbage and radish, which are ordinary vegetables that every household has, the price of the rest of the vegetables has been high, and the price of tender broad beans can be sold for seven or eight yuan a catty.

Xu Xiangwan's family planted broad beans in three acres and two acres of land is cooked land, used to grow wheat and rice, never planted vegetables, this first season of broad beans growth is very good, an acre of land to harvest four or five hundred catties is not a problem at all, so more than three acres of land is more than ten taels of silver input.

originally thought that it would not be peaceful in the past few days, Xu Xiangwan was always ready to meet the anger of Xu Zhibang and others, but he didn't expect that the people in the upper room would be like a flag had died down, and they didn't come to find fault for several days, and they didn't know what was going on behind their backs.

However, Xu Xiangwan was happy. Now there is no need to be busy with their own family work, Xu Qiuyi and Zhang only need to be busy with housework, do embroidery in their free time, and make hand balm wholeheartedly, and thirty boxes of hand balm only need another three or four days to complete.

Xu Xiangwan was making hand balm, while thinking about waiting for Yizhou Mansion to make some beauty cream, and just as he was thinking about it, someone knocked on the door.

Listen to the knock on the door, it's not your own family.

Xu Xiangwan frowned, and his eyelids jumped.

"Wangwang......" Before Xu Xiangwan could speak, Xiao Lie jumped out of nowhere, jumped to the door in an instant, and looked out through the crack in the door with bared teeth.

"Later, it's me." An old voice came from outside the door.

Xu Xiangwan thought that Xu Zhibang was coming, but he didn't expect that it was Old Man Xu who came to the door in person. (To be continued.) )
