Chapter 017: Lively

With doubts in her heart, Qiao Zhen secretly asked Qiao Hong when no one was around, who is the current emperor, Qiao Hong shook her head and said that she didn't know, only said that she seemed to have heard that the current dynasty was lucky, and she didn't know anything else.

Qiaozhen was helpless, but she also understood that the status of women in ancient times was low, and in the countryside, it was too normal to not know the emperor and the dynasty.

Since I don't know about her, I won't be entangled, and I'll wait until she's better to inquire about these things slowly.

A few days later, Qiaozhen has been here for half a month, and her good treatment has finally ended, the black bean noodles and millet at home are gone, and today she has eaten porridge with dried sweet potatoes.

It is impossible to make porridge with white flour, it is cornmeal, not the kind of fine cornmeal, it is the coarse kind, and it tastes a little throaty.

The dish is fried tofu dregs, it should not be fried in oil, I think it is also no oil in the situation of this home, only a little salt is put in it, there is no taste to eat, and there is a smell of beans, with a foul sour taste, it is very difficult to eat, Qiao Zhen endured and ate two bites and couldn't eat it.

"Sister, you eat more, how can you eat such a little body." Qiaohong persuaded her sister.

"I haven't moved all day, I can't eat in my stomach, has Hong'er eaten enough? If you're not full, you'll eat it. "Qiaozhen is a little unbearable.

"If that sister doesn't eat it, I'll eat it." Qiao Hong was not polite, picked up Qiao Zhen's chopsticks and ate them.

Qiaozhen saw that she ate sweetly, and she couldn't even eat more of this tofu dregs Qiaohong, couldn't she eat enough? It's time for me to go out and have a look, and it's time to think of ways to make money. Qiao Zhen secretly pondered.

Qiaozhen has been in the house for nearly 20 days, she originally wanted to go out of the house, but her mother didn't let her, saying that she was afraid that she would not be able to give birth to a child after seeing the wind fall ill, so Qiaozhen must stay in the house.

But these days, Qiao is really annoying, she can't do anything other than chat with Qiao Hong, and she is in a hurry.

But she also knows a lot of things, and she understands all the things in her own family.

Her grandfather's name is Wang Cai, the second oldest among the brothers, there is an elder brother above, who is no longer there, her grandfather gave birth to an only son, named Wang Changyou, married his wife Liu, Liu gave birth to two boys and two girls, and the people who move around here are not diligent, but they only come to the door when they have something to do.

Her grandfather gave birth to three sons and a daughter, her father was the third, her uncle had a sickness when he was young, and the second uncle was called Wang Changfa, married his wife Zhao, and Zhao gave birth to a boy and three girls.

His cousin is called Wang Dagui, who has married his wife Ma and gave birth to a girl, and the other three cousins are named Qiaoyu, Qiaofeng, and Qiaoying. Qiaoyu is the eldest and is already married.

Qiao Feng fifteen has not yet said that he is a good person, and Qiao Ying thirteen is not married. As for her aunt's name is Xuemei, she married to Jiang Mazhuang and gave birth to two male babies.

Originally, their family and the second uncle's family lived in the old house, but the second aunt and the mother's personalities did not match, the two of them always fought, and after a long time, the family was uneasy, and then the grandfather split up.

Grandpa meant to prepare half of the old house, but at that time, the second aunt had to ask for all the old house, saying that half of the family could not live, Zuihou grandfather gave them the old house, gave the ancestral calligraphy and painting to his own family, and gave his own land and silver, and his father and mother came here to build a house and moved out.

And grandpa and grandma said that the family would support them for a year, but grandpa and grandma always lived unhappily every time they went to the second uncle's house, always angry, grandma was paralyzed on the kang, and the second aunt didn't like to wait, so they didn't like to live, and every year they asked the second uncle's family to bring some food over, and the two old people lived here.

Last year's disaster time, grandpa and grandma was the second uncle's turn, but the second uncle did not answer, grandpa and grandma still lived here, the second uncle did not send food over, and then the grandfather starved to death, the second uncle and the second uncle came over and made a big fuss, saying that the father and mother treated the two old people badly, zuihou still found the patriarch, found the elders, and grandma came forward to testify before giving up, after this incident, the relationship between the two families was even worse, and they did not come to the door if they had nothing to do, and even the neighbors were not as good.

Usually, the second uncle and aunt rarely come to see grandma Cui, anyway, she has been here for twenty days and has not seen anyone over there, so it seems that the relationship between the two families is indeed very stiff.

As for her family, her mother's surname is Zhou, but usually people always call her from Changshun's family, or her mother, and rarely call her Zhou, or Wang Zhou.

She saw everyone in the family except for her grandmother, and as for her grandmother, her mother didn't let her go to see it, and she had to let her see it after a month, saying that if she didn't do it, it would be bloody and unlucky.

Qiao Zhen was thinking about this bunch of things at home, and saw Qiao Hong panting into the house.

"Hong'er, what are you doing? Running so tired, you're out? Qiao Zhen asked.

"Sister, I'm going out to see the excitement." Qiao Hong wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and then fanned the wind with her sleeve.

"Rest quickly, what's going on with you? Passion for that. Qiao Zhen also fanned the girl with her sleeve, with fun in her eyes, she couldn't go out, she was anxious, and now she heard about the excitement, and she wanted to hear it.

"Sister, sit down, I'll talk to you about it." Qiao Hong began to speak: "Didn't it rain in our place the day before yesterday?" My mother was still in the house at the time, saying that the boss under the rain was terrifying, and the thunder was terrifying, and it was really evil, and I was afraid that God would have something sad. also said that it had rained, the grass in the field should grow wildly, you have to go to the grass, you should be busy again, do you remember? ”

Qiaozhen nodded, how could she forget the day before yesterday, the rain that day was very heavy, she stood in front of the window and watched, it was cloudy outside as if it was dark, and the rain was pouring like a basin. Running from the house to the courtyard, running in, my clothes can be soaked, think about how heavy the rain is.

"It's such a rainy day, Huzi's mother came to see him, and it turned out to be an accident." Qiao Hong continued to talk to her sister.

"What the hell is the tiger? How do you look at him? Why is it raining so heavily? Qiaozhen indicated that he didn't understand.

"Sister, look at my pig brain, I forgot to tell you, Huzi's name is Zhu Hu, his father's name is Zhu Deshun, his father's name is Zhu Laoer, his grandmother gave birth to his father's son, a daughter, their family turned out to be poor, and Huzi's mother brought a lot of dowry when she got married.

I heard that Hu Ziniang took out the dowry to make capital for Hu Zi's father, they started a small business, and gave birth to two children, one is Huzi and the other is Niuzi, Hu Ziniang may have done it, and they are famous in our Zhuangzi.

She may be tired, helping Huzi's father to do business together, the two of them slowly started the business, I heard that Huzi Niang took out five taels of silver at that time, and now Huzi's family can take advantage of a few hundred taels, and there are rich people in our village. These hundreds of taels have a lot of credit to Hu Ziniang.

If there is no her, Huzi's father is nothing now, but Huzi's father is rich, and he also learned to take a concubine, originally Huziniang did not agree, but Huzi's father said that if she did not agree, she would divorce his wife, saying that she was jealous, and Zuihou couldn't Huziniang agree.

Later, Huzi's father didn't let Huziniang manage business in the town, and let her go back to Zhuangzi, he and his concubine were in the town, Huziniang was at home and her mother-in-law was wrong, sister, you don't know, Huzi's grandmother is not a thing.

Grandma Huzi is famous for her time as a daughter-in-law, four brothers of Huzi, supporting the old man's family for a year, and so on for the time when Grandma Huzi followed them, Grandma Huzi let her mother-in-law live in the pigsty, and other sons and daughters-in-law came to reason, and she scolded them, she scolded people very much. Her mother-in-law cries all day long, but she can't do it, Hu Ziye can't be at home.

Now Grandma Huzi is even worse as a mother-in-law, scolding her daughter-in-law is like eating, the scolding is ugly, Huziniang's life is not easy. Qiao Hong took a deep breath when she said this.
