Chapter 58 Brother and sister-in-law come to the door

Qiu Chen's heart jumped, adjusted his nervousness slightly, put down the ingredients in his hand, and walked out.

Regarding Begonia's mother's family, Qiu Chen was a little unimpressed.

Although in this era, when a girl gets married, she becomes someone else's family, but she really loves her family, and if she can, she will still take care of it. What's more, as far as Qiu Chen saw after waking up, the life of the Begonia Lin family can really be called very difficult.

If it was said that it was okay before, but when the news of Lin Sheng's death came, when Haitang was seriously ill, he obviously brought a letter to his mother's family, not to mention that someone came to visit and take care of him, but he didn't even see a letter!

If she hadn't woken up to pick up and sell medicine, the Yang family would not be able to see Begonia and the two children at this time, and for nearly two months, I am afraid that if she does not die, she will also beg on the streets!

Now, she is frying and selling medicines, the Lin family is having a better life, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, so this mother's family is late......

However, she didn't show this disapproval now, after all, she didn't understand the situation, so she still restrained her emotions and cautiously met with people!

Outside the gate, Lan Ying was leading a car towards the Lin family.

The man who drove the car wore a black cotton pants, with a tall figure, dark skin, and a thoughtful but ordinary appearance, with the simplicity and simplicity of a rural man. I held a whip in one hand, and a cluster of red tassels was tied to the tip of the whip, which jumped and jumped as I walked, which was very good-looking. Lan Ying and a woman talked enthusiastically, side by side with the side of the car, the woman had a long face, a slight figure, and her appearance was not outstanding, with a smile between her eyebrows, she couldn't hide her worries, so she kept frowning slightly, which made the whole face have a hint of bitterness.

Qiu Chen stood at the gate, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, silently watching the group approach. She didn't rush forward to greet her, not to mention that she didn't know who was coming, but she knew, and she was a little too lazy to deal with it at this time.

Don't allow her to think about it, the man who drove the car had already seen Qiu Chen, and immediately shouted: "Little sister! ”

A middle-aged man called out so sincerely, but he choked up, which still made Qiu Chen's heart tremble, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement, and he was almost uncontrollably about to meet him.

Restraining the inexplicable excitement, Qiu Chen secretly pondered in his heart, these two people were simple and kind, and they looked haggard and dusty, showing that they had worked hard all the way. And this man's expression doesn't seem to be fake...... Could it be that the Yang family is late, is there really a last resort?

Although Qiu Chen has a cold temperament and is not sociable, he is only one person after all. Although she is not a begonia, in the midst of hardship, some people have traveled from afar to visit, which still makes people feel warm involuntarily. Everyone wants to be missed, not to say that this kind of blood is thicker than water, loved ones care and remember.

In a moment, the man had already driven the car to the front, and he didn't care about the woman behind him, the elder brother let go of the horse's reins, put down the whip, stepped forward in a few steps, reached out and grabbed Qiu Chen's arm, and looked up and down with red eyes: "Sister...... You've suffered! ”

Before he could say a word, his eyes were wet, and he quickly turned his head to wipe away his tears.

At this moment, Qiu Chen finally found his own thinking. She wanted to squeeze out a smile on her face, but she was very reluctant, but responded with a 'forced smile'.

"Brother!" Qiu Chen responded.

At this time, if she said less and made fewer mistakes, she really asked her to express her closeness with her heart and lungs, and Qiu Chen couldn't come. Although I was a little inexplicably excited, I didn't have any feelings after all.

The brother and sister here have their own stomachs, and the woman in the car over there also followed and shouted, "Begonia!" "I have shed tears.

Qiu Chen grinned, muttering in his heart, this maiden brother is unreliable, why don't you know how to introduce him...... The main reason is that the rural women are dressed in blue and black after the age of thirty, and they cannot distinguish their age at all. Moreover, people here get married and have children early, and it is normal to be a grandmother in her thirties. This woman...... Qiu Chen really didn't dare to open his mouth to shout, who knows if it was his sister-in-law or ...... Mother?

She smiled, thinking that she couldn't respond, Lan Ying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a forced smile: "Sister Begonia, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have traveled a long way, if you have anything to say, let's go home and say it!" ”

Amitabha! Lan Ying is such a good person!

Since listening to Lan Ying talk about her mother's family, Qiu Chen has put some information from Lan Ying's mouth, which is too detailed, but the general population composition is also understood.

Haitang's mother's family is separated by the Yang family's shop more than 100 miles away from Liujiaao, and makes a living by catching a big car, although it is not rich, but it is also a good family, at least it will not be full of food and clothing.

There are only two elder brothers on the begonia, the eldest brother Yang Shuyong is thirty-five years old, married to Zhou, and has three sons, in order the eldest son Yang Junwen, sixteen years old; second son, Yang Junshu, eleven years old; The youngest son, Yang Junyan, is seven years old; The second brother Yang Shumeng is thirty years old, his wife is Zhao, and he has two sons. followed by Yang Junzhang, eight years old; The second son, Yang Junli, is three years old.

This sister-in-law Zhou is two years older than the eldest brother of the Yang family, Yang Shuyongshang, Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and the rural people can't maintain it, and they can't dress up, so they naturally look old, no wonder Qiu Chen doesn't dare to recognize people.

Knowing the identity of the other party, Qiu Chen calmed down a little, and followed Lan Ying's words, and said, "Oh, bel, it's still Sister Lan Ying who said yes, I was happy and confused when I saw my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Big brother and sister-in-law, let's go to the house first! ”

Zhou and Yang Shuyong glanced at each other, and both of them also accepted Qi Rong. Yang Shuyong went to catch the car into the door, and then packed up and unloaded the car. Qiu Chen and Lan Ying led the Yang family's sister-in-law, Zhou, into the door.

"Sister-in-law, so far away...... Tired of you and your big brother! Qiu Chen pondered that he was the master after all, and when his mother's family came, he couldn't keep his mouth shut and not speak, so he led the woman inside and tentatively opened his mouth.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Zhou is very good at talking, and he explained the cause and effect in a few words, "Since I knew about you, our father and mother were so anxious that they couldn't eat or sleep, and they couldn't take a step." It's just that you also know that our father's legs and feet are inconvenient, and our mother's body is not good in the spring. Your brother and I were also delayed because of the doctor, but our mother got better after taking the medicine, so she urged me and your brother to ......."

"Sister-in-law, let's ...... Mom, are you okay? Qiu Chen asked eagerly.

"Hey, hey, it's okay, you know, our mother was sick when she was young, and she has been much better after taking medicine, and she can't sleep night after night!" Zhou Shi answered Qiu Chen's inquiry, looked around and said, "Why didn't you see Fu'er and Man'er?" Are the two children okay? ”

"Oh, Sister-in-law Lao remembers, the two children are fine, they were just playing in the yard, I don't know where to go now." Qiu Chen smiled and agreed.

Listening to Zhou's explanation of the reason why he couldn't come in time, and seeing that the two of them seemed to be really concerned about this married girl, Qiu Chen's mind about the previous idea was also a little lighter, but he still couldn't talk about any closeness. However, I am still glad in my heart that the eldest couple of the Yang family looks fine, not the kind of calculating and mean relatives.

Qiu Chen led the sister-in-law into the house, sat on the kang in the room, poured water for the sister-in-law from the tea pot, and handed it over: "Sister-in-law, let's drink saliva first!" ”

Zhou's eyes withdrew from the household in the room, took the water, and said with a gentle smile, "I've been rushing all the way, and I'm really thirsty." ”

"Well, let the eldest brother and sister-in-law worry!" Qiu Chen was polite, turned around and wanted to go out to see the eldest brother of the Yang family, so he said to Lan Ying, "Sister Lan Ying, you accompany my sister-in-law to talk, and I will go to see the eldest brother." ”

Lan Ying agreed, but Zhou said something to stop her: "You don't have to care, your eldest brother will come in after unloading the car." ”

Qiu Chen didn't know that people were saying kind words, and walked out of the back room with a smile.

Out of the house, Qiu Chen raised his eyes and saw that the eldest brother of the Yang family had unloaded the livestock, the cart and the livestock were placed in the corner of the yard, and took some of the forage from the car to feed, and at this time he was resisting a heavy bag and walked towards the house with a basket in one hand.

"Big brother!" Qiu Chen shouted and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the basket.

"Oh, this is some sorghum, it's already grinded, you eat it first." Yang Shuyong said sullenly, walked into the house, put his pockets against the house mountain, and walked out again, "You go in first, there is still a little bit of millet beans in the car, I'll take them." ”

After a while, he came in with two smaller cloth bags, "This is our millet to grind face, and in addition, there is a little bit of grilled beans in this pocket, our mother said that you like to drink grilled bean sticky porridge." ”

Qiu Chen had already put the basket away, made half a basin of water, and then handed the cloth towel to Yang Shuyong: "Our mother and eldest brother, you really feel sorry for me...... Big brother, wash your face first, you're tired all the way! ”

"Oh, I'm not tired, I'm not tired, your sister-in-law and I got up early, the journey went smoothly, it's nothing, don't worry!" Yang Shuyong waved his hand and said.

Yang's shop is more than 120 miles away from Liujiaao, and Yang Shuyong said that he got up a little early, and he was afraid that he started to rush from midnight. She noticed just now that both of them had tired faces, especially Yang Shuyong, whose eyes were red and bloodshot.

Qiu Chen saw that there was a bunch of bedding on the big car in the parked yard, which was obviously used to keep warm on the road. Alas, this smear and rush is really a sin!

With a sour nose and blinking his eyes, Qiu Chen walked over, took the futon off the cart, put it on the clothesline, and turned around, Yang Shuyong had already washed it.

Qiu Chen said: "Brother, you go into the house to rest." ”

Yang Shuyong agreed, but did not move, looked at the medicine shed in the southeast corner of the yard, and greeted Qinghe's family and Qingshan's daughter-in-law with a smile: "My sister relies on everyone to take care of her here!" ”

Qinghe's family and Qingshan's family had already divided the medicine and were packing sacks, and when they heard Yang Shuyong's words, they hurriedly smiled and said that they didn't dare to be.

Qiu Chen took Yang Shuyong's arm and walked into the house: "Brother, you go into the house to rest!" ”

Stepping into the door, Qiu Chen told Yang Shuyong about the hiring of fried medicine. Of course, how she learned to recognize medicine and fry medicine changed her words, and she still learned from the homeless old man, but the time and place became Liu Jiaao after marriage.

Yang Shuyong listened, and his face was relieved and sighed: "I am relieved that you can have such a ability." I went home and told our father and mother, and the two old people were almost worried! ”

"Well, the eldest brother went back and told our father and mother that I am doing well now, the children are fine, and the uncle is also sensible, so let the second elder worry. After a few days, I will take the children back to see their two elders. As he spoke, he let Yang Shuyong sit on the edge of the kang, and poured a glass of water and handed it to the eldest brother. According to custom, male guests generally do not sit on the kang when they come to the door, but unfortunately the Lin family is too shabby, and they don't even have a set of hospitality tables and chairs, and they can't pay attention to it.

Let the eldest brother and sister-in-law sit quietly, and Qiu Chen came to the outhouse again. I made one dish at home, and it was not enough for the guests to come, and I had to cook a few more for the fire. Fortunately, it is much more harmonious in the morning, so it is also convenient at this time.

Lan Ying also came out to help when she heard the sound, Qiu Chen handed over the burning work to her, and he took a piece of salted meat to clean and cut into slices, then soaked a strip of kelp, fried a kelp slice, and then fried a scrambled egg with green onions, and it was almost the same.

Sister-in-law Zhou also came out to help, how could Qiu Chen let her do it again, Zhou didn't enter the house, so she sat in front of the stove pit and lit the fire. While talking to Qiu Chen and Lan Ying, Yang Shuyong also talked to each other from time to time. Because most of the things are about the characters of the Yang family's shop, Qiu Chen can't answer, most of the time he doesn't listen to her, and occasionally asks her, but he can only hum and deal with it. Yang Shuyong and Zhou's only thought that their sisters were in a bad mood, and they didn't like to talk much, but they didn't think much about it, but secretly felt more pity.

But after a while, Lin Xu also came back from school, and after seeing each other, Lin Xu talked with the eldest brother of the Yang family in the house. The three women were busy cooking in the outhouse.

Very, Lan Ying burned more than a dozen of them. Qiu Chen made a fried pork with kelp, and a scrambled egg with green onions was also out of the pot.

watched Qiu Chen easily clean up three dishes, either meat dishes or scrambled eggs, and it could be seen that instead of filling the façade, the meat and eggs were put in sufficient quantities. As a staple food, the fire is all white noodles, not to mention, but also added oil, salt, sugar, sesame seeds, etc., which is much rarer than steamed bread. Yang Shuyong saw that his sister's food was good, and he could rest assured, and he was also happy that his sister's life was better. And the Zhou family is used to being in charge, combined with the Lin family's house and belongings, it is inevitable that there will be some disapproval. I don't have a little money to save, I eat and drink so much, and some of them don't know how to live, so I plan to take an opportunity to talk about my sister-in-law, life is better, and I can't be so lavish!

Ah Fu and Shanzi Stone Bolt and a few leather children, after eating the fire, they also ran back. Lingzhi led Aman, and the two little girls were slower after all, and they also walked in behind.

As soon as he entered the door, Afu Aman threw himself into Qiu Chen's arms, Qiu Chen wiped the sweat on his face for the two children, and brought them to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, "Afu Aman, call the uncle and the eldest concubine!" ”

The two children were obviously not familiar with their grandmother's family, and Qiu Chen was a little familiar with him, but he still called someone obediently. Yang Shuyong smiled and stretched out his hand to hug Ah Man in his arms, and Zhou took Ah Fu, brushed his sweaty forehead, while looking at it, touched the child's shoulder, and said: "Well, Fu'er, this child looks clever, but this body is a little thin, look at the lack of meat on this backbone, Begonia, you have to give this child more to eat." From now on, you'll be ......"

When Zhou said this, thinking of his sister-in-law's long years of widowhood, he couldn't help but redden, and Yang Shuyong next to him scolded: "You can't say a few words." In front of the children! ”

"Whoa, whoa!" Zhou Shi hurriedly accepted Qi Se, wiped the corners of his eyes, started a smile, and then softly teased Ah Fu and Ah Man to talk.

Qiu Chen and Lan Ying went to set up the kang table and brought in the dishes and fire. Originally, Qiu Chen wanted to take Lan Ying's three women and several children to eat together, but Lan Ying refused, brought a pot of braised belly and a basket of fire, called a large group of children with plug stones, and went to the outside medicine distribution board together, and ate with Qingshan's daughter-in-law of Qinghe's family, leaving the space in the house to this family.

Yang Shuyong Zhou got up in the middle of the night and hurried, only ate a little cold and dry food brought by himself, he was already hungry at this time, Qiu Chen prepared rich dishes, and the fire was also fragrant and delicious, so he naturally ate sweet. After eating, Qiu Chen brewed a few bowls of oil tea and brought them up.

Yang Shuyong took a sip of oil tea, smacked his lips, and smiled comfortably all over his face: "Begonia, how long have you been doing this medicine frying work?" Why didn't you mention it before? ”

Qiu Chen hugged Aman and fed the oil tea, and said secretly in his heart: It's here!

"Before, I thought that I had a child to rely on my father, and the family also had a few acres of land, and the food was almost enough to eat. But after the letter came, I was sick, and I couldn't do the embroidery work, and I tossed the food and not much money at home to see a doctor and grab medicine, and I couldn't help it, so I remembered the matter of frying medicine. In fact, it was a coincidence, and the pharmacy in the town happened to accept this medicine. Now I can sell it for some money, and my life is more relaxed. ”

Qiu Chenliang paid attention to avoid arousing suspicion of the topic, but in a few words, he also explained the cause and effect of his speculation and medicine, and said with a smile: "Big brother and sister-in-law, don't look at the yard of my house, just worry about me, in fact, I am afraid of taking a few children, it is too explosive to attract people's eyes, a few days ago the Spring Festival happened to buy a carriage, unfortunately, yesterday a woman in the village fell and went to the town to see a doctor, and she has not returned." ”

"Oh? Also bought a carriage? Hehe, it seems that you are really having a good time. When I go home, I will talk to my father and mother, and let the two elders be happy and happy! "The Yang family was born in a car, and they have a special feeling for the carriage, and I heard that the sister even bought a carriage with less than twenty taels, and this day is really good, and it can be regarded as relieved.

The Zhou family next to him listened, and also secretly persuaded Qiu Chen to live a careful life.

After lunch, Qiu Chen asked Lin Xu to take the eldest brother of the Yang family to rest in the East Chamber, and she took her two children to accompany Zhou's big kang to rest in the morning.

The aunt and sister-in-law coaxed the child, and the Zhou family began to talk about the Yang family's shop, and Qiu Chen carefully agreed; Then Zhou asked the villagers if there was bullying, and Qiu Chen naturally only said yes; Then, Zhou carefully tested Qiu Chen's plans in the future, Qiu Chen knew that this was to ask her if she planned to remarry, although she did not plan to be widowed for Lin Sheng for the rest of her life, but it was not easy to say, only that the uncle and the children were young, and the family was not sad now, etc., vaguely passed. It was also common sense for the Zhou family to hear this, and not long after the news of Lin Sheng's death came back, it was too short to talk about remarriage at this time, so he changed the topic and talked about the past.

"When I see Aman today, I think of you when I first passed the door, and Xiao Nier is really the same as when you were a child...... When you grow up, you must be good...... At that time, you looked like you were out of ten miles and eight villages, and our father and mother wanted to find you a comfortable life and live a prosperous life. There are also rich families in the county who come to the door to say goodbye, but you refuse to agree. can pick and choose, but you have only been there once...... Although Lin Sheng saved our father's life, after all, life at home is too difficult, and he is dragging a younger brother, and he doesn't even have a close family to help, our father and mother are unwilling, but you are optimistic about Lin Sheng...... At that time, not long after your second brother got married, our mother took medicine all the year round, plus our father delayed the medicine after breaking his leg, the family dragged on a famine, and even failed to accompany you with a decent thing, alas, speaking of which, you have really suffered in the past few years, and our father and mother can't help wiping tears every time they mention it. When our family is better, come back again, you can say everything, and you don't want to bring you anything...... Now, seeing that your life is better and the people are more transparent, let alone our father and mother, the two of them can be relieved......"

After all, Zhou was tired all the way, and as he spoke, his voice became lower and lower, and he gradually fell asleep, and Qiu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Covering them with quilts, Qiu Chen lightly got off the kang.

It turned out that Begonia was still such a stubborn character. Listening to Zhou's voice, Haitang had a problem with her parents because of her marriage back then, and she never forgot it, and then she didn't even want the help of her parents and relatives, just to gamble?

Qiu Chen shook his head silently.

From her point of view now, the Yang family's parents did not agree to the marriage of Haitang and Lin Sheng, and they were all for the sake of their daughter. But as the party Begonia, it hinders her from combining with her lover, and it may be difficult to accept, and even after many years, she is still haunted by it...... The two have different positions, and Qiu Chen doesn't want to criticize anything, but after understanding, it is determined that the Yang family is a simple and honest person, and she has no intention of cheating and calculating herself, or 'Begonia', and she can't help but feel a little close.

It's not easy for people to live in the world, since she came here, took up the body of other people's daughters, and replaced this identity, she should naturally be responsible as a daughter, sister, and even aunt. People are emotional animals, they need all kinds of emotional exchanges and expressions, good relationships, close people to contact, mutual support, mutual care, is also a very happy thing.

The sister-in-law didn't feel the time when she spoke, and when she came out, Lin Xu had already gone to school. There are also medicines that start to be delivered to the door.

Qiu Chen cut his hair and went to the front to get busy. A lot of medicine was delivered, but Dakui's daughter-in-law didn't come to stir up trouble again.

When the medicine was harvested, there was the sound of horses' hooves trampling outside the yard, and across the fence wall, I saw my chestnut red horse from afar, and Erkui was riding on the wheel to catch the car. It's the two of them who are back.

Qiu Chen just finished collecting the medicine, so he naturally walked out. Lan Ying, Qinghe's family, and Qingshan's daughter-in-law were all busy with work, and they were a little slow by half a step before they came out behind.

A group of people sent the two of them to the west wing of Lan Ying's house, Lan Ying brought some firewood over, burned the kang, and returned to the Lin family with Qinghe's family and Qingshan's daughter-in-law.

Qiu Chen stopped a step, waited for Lan Ying and a few to leave, and Erkui also went to Lin's house to send the carriage, and then sat on the kang and talked to Erkui's family.

Regarding the separation of the family, it should be comforted and comforted, not to mention that Qiu Chen knew that if he could split up the family, even if he didn't get any property, the second kui's daughter-in-law didn't care much, so he directly planned himself and talked to the second kui's family.

Everyone else left, but in front of Qiu Chen, the second daughter-in-law stopped lying down, and got up to pour water for Qiu Chen.

"Don't be polite to me, come and sit down." Qiu Chen sat down with a look of gratitude mixed with a little embarrassment, took out a bag from her pocket with a smile, and handed it over.

The second daughter-in-law opened the bag suspiciously, and pushed it back in a panic, "This can't be done, this can't be done!" ”

In the bag, everyone got the money the day before yesterday, because the second daughter-in-law was fine, so it didn't cost much to catch the medicine. A total of one tael of silver and two hangings of eight hundred and twenty-five yuan, it cost five hundred yuan to catch the medicine, and there were one tael of silver and two other two hanging three hundred and twenty yuan. Qiu Chen added another tael of silver, and brought it to Erkui's family once.

After explaining the origin of the money, Qiu Chen put the money bag into the hands of the second daughter-in-law, and said, "In your current situation, everything needs to be repurchased, and you can use it first, as long as you are good, the debt can be repaid slowly." ”

The second daughter-in-law clenched the money bag tightly, and nodded with red eyes: "I'll make the quilt tomorrow!" ”

Qiu Chen hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, let's do a full set of how to do the show, you can do the work tomorrow, then it will be exposed." You, Ming'er have a good day's rest, and everything in this house must be cleaned up. Later, it's not too late for you to go over and do your work. I'm not in a hurry to use the futon, you're in a hurry to get on fire. ”

Then he said: "In addition, I want to build a horse shed in the backyard, and I need someone to help for a few days, so I want to come and ask you, the second Kui is not available." ”

Seeing that Erkui's daughter-in-law wanted to speak, Qiu Chen raised his hand to stop her and said, "Don't be in a hurry to agree." When Er Kui comes back later, you can discuss with him, and I will give eighty yuan a day to take care of two meals! ”

Erkui's family was cleaned out of the house, not to mention the fields, and they didn't even get a house, so naturally there was no work in the field to be busy, even if the Lin family didn't mention the matter of building a horse shed, Erkui had to find a guy to make money to support the family after settling down. The Lin family is so timely and close to work, how can the second daughter-in-law not agree.

With such a generous reward, Erkui's daughter-in-law didn't know that Qiu Chen was helping them in a different way, and she was grateful in her heart, so she naturally agreed again and again: "Erkui doesn't know much, but he has the strength to do the dirty work, and let him do any dirty work!" ”

Qiu Chen knew that he was too polite, but it made the Erkui family uncomfortable, so he responded with a smile.

Then he told Erkui's family to pay attention to his body, don't be too tired, so he got up and said goodbye, and was about to go down the kang to send her Erkui's daughter-in-law to press the kang, turned around and went out.

Back at home, the eldest brother Yang Shuyong had already gotten up, and was circling the chestnut red horses in the backyard.

Seeing Qiu Chen coming, Yang Shuyong asked with a look of surprise: "Sister, did you really buy this horse from the Spring Festival?" Quite a bit of silver, right? ”

Qiu Chen nodded with a smile, shook his head again and smiled: "It is indeed bought at the Spring Festival." I also told my eldest brother just now that I bought this set of carriages and horses by coincidence. It didn't cost much silver, and it cost a total of twenty taels with the carriage. ”

"Twenty taels? Or a horse and a car? Yang Shuyong was so shocked that he almost jumped up, as if he still didn't believe it, and shook his head again and again, "Not to mention that there is a car, this horse alone has to be eighty taels away." You don't know it, but this horse has a lot of skills. This is the famous horse rouge snow in Mobei. Although you only have rouge and no snow spots, it is also extremely rare. On weekdays, these horses do not flow into the market at all, and are sent directly to the army to be used as war horses. ……”

Acting as a war horse? Qiu Chen's heart tightened, if someone found out that she was a farmer using this kind of horse, would it be confiscated? Even ...... Will it be convicted of it?

Then, a wave of anger could not help but rise in my heart. She said, why did the man in Tsing Yi ask someone to help her pick a horse, okay, it turns out that such a pit was dug for her in the back!

The man must have known that this kind of horse should be used as an army and the common people could not buy and sell it casually, that is, he, a visitor from outside the world, was stupid and didn't know anything, so he jumped into the pit with his eyes open...... I thought I was cheap before I lost it!

Surprised, I heard Yang Shuyong groan slightly, and then said: "I am looking, the reason why your horse fell on the Spring Festival may be because it is a horse. The horse's combat power as a war horse is slightly insufficient, but for our peasant family, it is a rare benefit. I've just seen this horse, it's just turned two years old, and in another year, I'll be able to get off the foal. Rouge snow, a foal is definitely not less than fifty taels, if the quality is better than this one, the price may be doubled, or even several times, rouge snow spots are the same, the appearance of Zhou Zheng is a strong horse, and it can even be sold for more than five hundred taels. ”

Shaking his head as he spoke, having said that, if you want to further improve the quality of your horse, you must have a good pedigree and pure horse. It is rare in the village to have a horse like this chestnut horse, let alone a horse of pure blood, and it is not easy to find a horse to match this horse. It's still a pity!

Hearing Yang Shuyong say this, Qiu Chen also put his mind at ease. Since Yang Shuyong didn't show any worries and fears, presumably a horse would not bring any disaster. But he didn't care much about how much the foal was worth, and he didn't pay attention to Yang Shuyong and shook his head in regret.

Qiu Chen is usually very arrogant, and she is not enthusiastic about dealing with people, but she has a problem, that is, as long as she accepts people or things, she is extremely protective of her shortcomings, and she is easily unwilling to give up. Thinking about it, even if the chestnut horse gave birth to a foal in the future, she would be reluctant to sell it. If you don't sell it, it doesn't matter much about how much it's worth.

Just now the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Yang family talked about family affairs, Qiu Chen couldn't talk, she also noticed that Yang Shuyong and the Zhou family were a little depressed, and now saw that Yang Shuyong was so interested in horses, and then he paid attention, so he smiled and said: "Big brother, don't just look at the horse, look at my frame, how about it?" ”

As he spoke, Qiu Chen also raised his eyebrows at Yang Shuyong, revealing a sense of coquettishness of a child. However, Yang Shuyong is familiar with his sister is so proud and lively, Qiu Chen's unintentional expression actually made Yang Shuyong really happy.

He reluctantly let go of the chestnut red horse, leaned over to the frame, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Sister, you really picked up a big bargain this time." This frame doesn't look old, but the whole body is made of jujube wood. To make such a car, it will cost at least thirty taels of silver! Well, this car has been used for some years, judging from these residual paint, at least seven or eight times of oil, large families generally oil paint once a year, according to this calculation, this car has been used for at least ten years. However, even after ten years, this car is only slightly worn, and the rivets are not out of shape at all. Use it with love, and it won't be a problem to use it for another 20 years! ”

When Qiu Chen got this set of carriages, he knew that he had taken advantage of it, but he only thought that he was taking advantage of ten taels or eight taels, listening to Yang Shuyong's explanation, it was worth it in both compartments, and there were at least dozens of taels! She didn't just pick up a bargain, this is simply a big leak! Although, this leak seems to be suspected of deliberately releasing water!

Yang Shuyong withdrew his gaze from the frame, and in a blink of an eye, he saw his sister with a surprised face, his apricot eyes were round and his mouth was slightly open, although he was dressed as a woman, but he saw his sister's lively and cute appearance when he was a child, and the slightest doubt and alienation in his heart disappeared for a moment, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and put it on the top of his sister's head and rub it hard, and when he saw his sister come back to his senses and pouted at him, he burst out into a string of haha laughter.

"Haha, I thought my sister's eyesight had grown, but I saw you stumbling into it by mistake. That is, you are blessed ......" Yang Shuyong said such a sentence with great joy, but suddenly remembered that his brother-in-law had just passed the news of his death, and the laughter couldn't help but stop abruptly, after a slight pause, Yang Shuyong couldn't bear to show any sorrow in front of his sister's eyes, grinned, led the chestnut red horse, and hurriedly threw down a sentence, "I will lead the horse to yo, you and your sister-in-law will say." ”

Qiu Chen agreed, and Yang Shuyong had already led the horse away.

I walked to the fragrant roe deer shed and fed the grass to the large and small fragrant deer families. Qiu Chen was stunned, and for a moment, the wet and hot touch of her palms brought her back to her senses, and she saw that the little fragrant roe deer was looking at her with a pair of black and wet eyes, and from time to time stretched out her tongue to lick her palm, as if reminding her that she had snubbed it!

After the little guy recovered from the leg injury, he became more and more naughty.

stepped forward and hugged the little guy, Qiu Chen turned around and sat on the frame, and reached out to take a scoop of horse feeding materials for the little fragrant roe deer to eat. The two big fragrant roe deer also came over and ate unceremoniously, Qiu Chen touched this, touched that, and the two adult fragrant roe deer no longer rejected her touching, but shook their heads a little impatiently and snorted, which made Qiu Chen laugh.

"Now that this family is settled, I have to give you a name!" Tilting his head and looking at the long fangs of the male musk deer, Qiu Chen remembered the bucktooth Su in the movie, so he said with a smile: "You are called Su Su!" ”

"Your name is Su Niangzi!" It's just the mother musk deer.

"You, just call Xiao Xiaosu!" This little roe deer is also male and will also grow a pair of buckteeth in the future!

Qiu Chen muttered a few names, and the expression on his face didn't know whether it was a smile or something, but he felt that the three Lan Ying and a few children in the front yard were laughing and scolding, lively and happy, and the backyard was extremely quiet and cold.

She's hiding here, it's like she's alone looking at this shijie, no one understands her, understands her!

She had to fit in in in order to survive, but she was forever independent of the whole society, extremely lonely!

Bucktooth Su...... Little Su...... After all, I still can't forget those decades of life, the shijie who once turned a blind eye...... Even the nonsensical comedy and annoying advertisements that she never treated her, when she thought about it, made her nostalgic and affectionate...... She's out of place with this shijie after all......

After chattering for a while, Qiu Chen smiled dumbly, put Xiao Xiao Su back in the shed, added two more scoops of fine materials to the size of the Su family, clapped his hands, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and returned to the front yard with a relaxed expression.

Just as she had just heard, Ah Fu Aman had already gotten up, and the children of Shanzi, Shishi, Plug, Lingzhi and Erhu had all come together again, and a large group of children gathered in the yard to blow bubbles, and Lan Ying and a few people were working while watching Lehe, and the laughter and noise in the huge courtyard were loud.

Turning his gaze, he didn't see his sister-in-law Zhou, so Qiu Chen washed his hands and went into the house.

On the kang in the inner house, Zhou's lay out a semi-finished mattress and flew needles to do it.

Because the sun is westerly, the paper windows are not very transparent, and the light in the inner room is very dim. Qiu Chen walked in and the footsteps were light, Zhou didn't hear it, a few stitches ran out of thread, so he took the thread and sewing needle, maybe it was because of the needlework under the lamp for many years, or it may be that the light was too dark, Zhou tilted his body and approached the window to borrow that glimmer of light, at this moment, a trace of white hair on Zhou's sideburns stung Qiu Chen's eyes, at that moment, she went back to her childhood in a trance, and saw her grandmother sitting on the kang in the old house, and she also approached the window to borrow that little bit of daylight......

At that time, she secretly vowed to study hard, and when she grew up, she would be filial to her grandmother, so that her grandmother would not have to be so diligent. It's a pity that in the year of the college entrance examination, before she received the admission notice, her grandmother suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, so she could only take the notice to her grandmother's grave and read it to her grandmother......

It was also from that summer that Qiu Chen felt that she no longer had relatives to care about, although her parents would mail her tuition and living expenses on time, but no one was worried about her thin clothes in the cold, and she was worried about heat stroke in the hot summer, and when it was dark, she would hold a light in front of the window and wait for her to come back in the evening......

Cool tears slowly rolled down her cheeks, dripping down her cheeks. The cold wetness woke her up from the sadness of her memories, raised her head and sighed silently, Qiu Chen wiped away her tears, and then raised her eyes, except for the slight redness of the eye circles, there was nothing unusual.

"Sister-in-law!" Qiu Chen called softly, and when she saw Zhou Shi looking up, she smiled again, "Sister-in-law, it's hard enough for you to come all the way here, why do you do this again?" ”

"Hehe, being idle is also idle, I see that you have made half of this quilt, and I will make it for you by the way. By the way, this bed will be finished soon, I see you still have so many buns on the box, do you still have to do it? Tell me what to do, it's still early, and you can still make a bed in the dark! Zhou said as his subordinates kept watching, seeing that a large mattress had been sewn up.

When Qiu Chen heard this, he was warm and unbearable, and hurriedly laughed and joked: "Sister-in-law, you have come all the way to see me, I can't catch you as a coolie." Okay, okay, this bed is done. Let's go, I'm planning to build a horse shed in the backyard, and it's time to send the wood, you can show it, but I've neglected the place. ”

To talk badly, they pulled Zhou off the kang, and the sister-in-law wanted to follow out of the house. Sure enough, as Qiu Chen said, Man Hoard had already sent some wood over, as well as tools such as saws and axes, and they were all put in the backyard one time. In addition, because the Lin family had guests, Manchu Niang also asked Manchu to catch a rooster and send it over, so that Qiu Chen could entertain the guests.

Qiu Chen pulled Zhou out of the door, and Ah Fu Aman ran over with a scream, this one is called a mother, and the other is called a concubine, with a red fluttering face and black eyes, Huan is like two puppies around their legs.

Qiu Chen took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on the faces of the two children, and when he got closer, he found that the two children were wearing clothes, and she didn't find someone to do those, the fabric style was not much different, but the stitches were obviously delicate and fine.

In the blink of an eye, Qiu Chen already understood what was going on, and couldn't help but smile and nodded at the two little things, and said angrily: "You guys, you wore a big concubine to make clothes, but thank you?" ”

Ah Fu immediately rushed to Zhou's with a smile, and saluted and thanked him obediently, which provoked Zhou's love for a while, and kissed them one by one in his arms, and then let the two children go to play, and she straightened up and said to Qiu Chen: "You have also learned to talk to your sister-in-law now!" It's just two sets of small clothes, how much material and how much work can be used, and it's worth your solemnity. ”

Qiu Chen naturally smiled and said, "It's not like I'm talking to my sister-in-law, isn't this teaching children to understand etiquette." Hehe, my sister-in-law is so good at needlework, I am looking greedy, and it is too late to be happy, so I will not talk to my sister-in-law. ”

With that, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law laughed and went to the backyard.

Walking around the backyard, Zhou was also very curious when he saw the three fragrant roe deer, and talked about building a horse shed again, but he didn't pick out what needed to be improved.

However, looking at the desolate hillside behind the house, Zhou pondered for a while and said, "Begonia, I have an idea for you to hear...... Since you are looking for someone to repair the stable, you have to toss it again, so it is better to pull up the backyard yard wall...... I look at this backyard mountain is quite barren, now it's okay, in a few days the grass and trees will grow, hide someone to hide a wild thing, but it's very easy. ”

Qiu Chen looked at the low and dilapidated fence, and then at the barren forest on the hillside behind him, and couldn't help but be a little moved.

Just thinking about it, Yang Shuyong also led the horse back, and when he heard the conversation between his aunt and sister-in-law, he also answered: "Yes, your yard is not very reliable, so it turned out to be enough, but now it ...... It's better to pull up the courtyard wall and feel safer. ”

As he spoke, Yang Shuyong inevitably mentioned his sister's current situation, and when he said it, he was afraid of provoking his sister's sadness, so he hurriedly looked at Qiu Chen secretly by tethering the horse. But he didn't know that Qiu Chen didn't have any feelings for that man who was no longer a man at all, and although he was a little dissatisfied with his current widowhood, he couldn't talk about sadness at all, so he didn't care about what Yang Shuyong said, and was frowning slightly and thinking about building the courtyard wall.

Qiu Chen had never dared to flip the house before, but she was afraid that it would be too explosive and cause unnecessary trouble, but after Yang Shuyong and Zhou's reminder, she woke up that she didn't have to flip all the houses, but also pulled up the courtyard wall first. At home, she has three children of different sizes, and if she encounters any danger, she doesn't even have the ability to protect herself. What's more, two fragrant roe deer can jump into the yard that night, and people or other beasts can naturally do it, and the fragrant roe deer is just a false alarm, if it is a beast or someone with ulterior motives, it will not be so lucky!

In addition, since Lin Xu jumped into the yard without noticing the two big incense deer, he got up in the middle of the night to patrol the yard several times. After a few days like this, Lin Xu looked tired every day, and his cheeks, which had grown a little longer, lost weight again. Qiu Chen thought that he worked hard at night and read too late resulting in lack of sleep, and specially instructed him a few times, but it didn't get better. When Qiu Chen drank too much water one night, and when he got up at night, he happened to run into Lin Xu's courtyard and look around, and then he understood where the tired look on his face came from.

Regardless of other reasons, just to let Lin Xu sleep peacefully, she should also build a yard.

After summing it up, Qiu Chen basically determined this jihua, and then discussed with Yang Shuyong and Zhou about the materials and labor used to build the courtyard wall.

However, the Yang family lived in a big house built by Yang's father when he was young, and it was only properly repaired for decades, and Yang Shuyong and his family had never built a house and a courtyard, but they did not plan in too much detail, so Zhou suggested that Qiu Chenxun should be an old man who knew how to plasterer to calculate.

When it came to plasterers, Qiu Chen immediately thought of his father. Although the old man made the stove for her was only a small job, the calculation of materials was very accurate, and he began to prepare red clay, adobe, bricks, etc., all accurately, and there was almost no error!

The plan was agreed, Qiu Chen and his brother and sister-in-law returned to the front yard, and saw that Lan Ying and the three were about to go home after finishing their work, so Qiu Chen left Lan Ying to discuss. Lan Ying thought about it for a while, and also agreed again and again.

It turns out that the Lin family can't open the pot, and they need to be guarded against just those who have bad intentions, and now the Lin family is seeing a boom, it will inevitably provoke some people in the village to be hot-eyed, and there is no yard to block it, in case someone comes to the door with the goal of seeking money, just the Lin family, an orphan and widow, who knows if there will be other dangers? Pulling up the courtyard wall, although it cannot completely prevent some people from coveting their eyes, can play a protective role to a certain extent.

Lan Ying gave another idea: "When the courtyard wall is pulled up, I will go to the village to change two puppies for Begonia, and if something happens at night, there will be a movement!" ”

Zhou smiled next to him: "Begonia is here thanks to you to take care of it, let us rest assured!" Lan Ying was polite, but her face showed joy.

Qiu Chen also thought that this idea was good, so he agreed and sent Lan Ying out to go home.

sent away a group of outsiders, and Qiu Chen also started to cook dinner. There is still a fire at noon, and there are a lot of steamed steamed buns yesterday, so there is no need to prepare the staple food, and it is hot. Qiu Chen asked Yang Shuyong to kill the chicken, cut it into chicken pieces, blanch it with hot water, and then put it in an iron pot and stir-fry until the chicken changes color, add green onions, ginger slices and soy sauce and continue to stir-fry for a while, add enough soup at a time, after boiling over high heat, put in the dried mushrooms and simmer slowly. On the top, a grate was added to heat the steamed buns.

The chicken was stewed in the cauldron, Qiu Chen set up a small pot, fried a piece of dried mushroom cabbage with slices of meat, a shredded radish with shrimp skin, and dried eggplant sent by the people in the village, and stewed a dish with meat. The four dishes are very firm and hearty.

It was dark, Lin Xu came back from school, and the chicken in the cauldron was also stewed. Because Erkui's family now lives in Lan Ying's house, Qiu Chen scooped two bowls and asked Lin Xu to send them over.

The food was brought to the table, and the family sat around and ate the dinner sweetly. Without waiting for Qiu Chen to finish cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Lan Ying accompanied the father and son.

Qiu Chen let Man Hoard's father and Man Ho into the house, poured tea, and brought snacks for the plug and Lingzhi who came with him, and then sat down to talk.

On weekdays, Qiu Chen is in charge of everything at home, but today there are Yang Shuyong and Zhou, so she sat aside, but she pulled Lin Xu and Yang Shuyong together to discuss the matter of pulling the courtyard wall with the father and son.

Manho father and son have helped the villagers build a lot of houses, especially Manho's father, carpentry and muddy work are clever, so every time someone in the village builds a house, he will be invited to preside over the scheduling, which is a big scene for Liu Jiaao! Qiu Chen found the two of them, and he found the main owner by mistake.

took a sip of tea, smashed his mouth hard, tasted the pleasant fragrance of tea, and said: "Uncle Fu'er, wow, the foundation of Fu'er's family was bright when Grandpa Fu'er enclosed the ground, and if you pull a circle of courtyard walls, it will cost a lot." It's not a small job to pull up such a large circle of courtyard walls! ”

The cost is slightly larger, and if the begonias can't take it out, they can also help the lining, and this time back, they brought some silver money to leave a subsidy for the begonias. Now that they are seeing that Begonia is living a good life, they are happy to be able to add it to let her pull up the courtyard wall, and it also saves them and the father and mother at home from always worrying.

As soon as Qiu Chen heard about the cost, he naturally didn't wait for Yang Shuyong to speak, and answered with a smile: "Uncle, I don't understand this, so I'll bother you and Brother Manchu to be tired, what materials to use, how many people to use, you can do it at your discretion." I don't care about the rest, just tell me how much money I have. "The reason why I say this is that when I accompanied the second daughter-in-law to the Rejuvenation Hall that day, I had already made an appointment with the shopkeeper Chen, and I would come over tomorrow to transport Luo Buma.

As soon as these words came out, Manchu Dad couldn't help laughing. The old man felt respected, and although he restrained himself, he still showed a trace of pride, and said with a smile: "It's easy to calculate, you first tell me what material you plan to use to pull the courtyard wall...... Is it built with stones, with adobe on the top, or with stones, and the whole body is built with green bricks......"

Qiu Chen stopped interjecting this time, and directly set his eyes on Yang Shuyong and Lin Xu.

After all, Lin Xu was young and had never participated in such a major event. Yang Shuyong groaned slightly, and when he saw that Lin Xu didn't speak, he said unceremoniously: "Since Uncle and Brother Manchu are affected, let's use green bricks in place at one time." Moreover, if you build it higher, it will be one foot high! Uncle, you give me a plan! ”

When Dad Man heard her say this, he couldn't help but secretly take a breath of cold air, and the stone was built on a blue brick wall, and it was one foot high...... How much silver does it cost to pull up such a large yard!

Tsk, look at people's breath, it's really hard!

Then, Manchu's father sighed again, the old Yang family is here to support the daughter, this is to let Liu Jiaao and everyone see, don't look at the Lin family's promotion, but they didn't leave the girl alone. If someone really wants to think about something, please weigh Lao Yang Jiatong first!

Whether it is shocked or sighed, it is just a thought in the heart of the full hoard.

On the face of the performance, he just held the teacup and muttered for a while, and the full hoarding father calculated the materials and labor one by one, and then totaled it, and used stone and blue bricks to pull a high courtyard wall, and the materials and labor were cost-effective, and a total of eighteen taels of silver were needed.

Yang Shuyong said: "I have a lot of places to drive, but I know a brick kiln in Qingshui Town, don't work, I can't do it, just leave the brick work to me!" ”

Now, there are two sets of carriages parked in the courtyard of the Lin family, and there is naturally no need to invite others to transport the bricks. The father and son agreed without objection, and they went to find a laborer.

Even if this important matter was discussed, Manchu's father and Yang Shuyong discussed the start date, time, and even direction, etc., Qiu Chen was confused when he heard it, and his heart was strange, but he also kept quiet with interest. Later, Manchu's father and Yang Shuyong agreed, and the next day, Manchu's father went to Dongshan Qu Banxian to show the days and hours, as well as the beginning and end of the courtyard wall, the direction of the gate and other things related to feng shui customs. Although Qiu Chen was a little disapproving, he did not say anything against it. This is the common custom of this shijie, if she doesn't want to be seen as a deviant, then obediently keep her mouth shut.

Before going out, Manchu's father instructed again: "Building a house and hitting the wall is a big deal, Ming'er, you should go to the village village and talk to the village elders." When it's time to get up from the gatehouse, invite them to come and sit down! ”

Yang Shuyong promised repeatedly: "This is naturally the way it should be, thank you uncle for reminding me, Ming'er, I will let Xuzi lead Fu'er to greet the elders in the village!" ”

Every time there is a major event in the farmer's family, the women have no right to represent the family, even Lin Xu and Ah Fu are still underage, and at present, the Lin family can only represent this family Lin Xu, or even Fu'er, not the widow Begonia!

After agreeing to pull the courtyard wall, the construction of the horse shed will naturally be postponed, otherwise the horse shed will occupy a large area after it is built, and it will also affect the work of pulling the courtyard wall.

At night, Qiu Chen took his two children to sleep on the kang in the main house with his sister-in-law Zhou, and Yang Shuyong and Lin Xu went to the east wing to squeeze on the kang all night. Fortunately, otherwise, the Lin family would not have extra bedding for the guests at all.

Lying in the quilt, Qiu Chen made a big mattress into a quilt for his sister-in-law Zhou, and he still covered the old quilt with his two children. While patting the children to lull them to sleep, Qiu Chen and Zhou talked at night.

"Sister-in-law, listen to my eldest brother, if you don't return tomorrow, will it delay family affairs?" Qiu Chen hesitated for a while, but still decided to ask.

The Yang family makes a living by driving a big car to pull goods and pull people, but Yang Shuyong is a handlebar type at home, not to mention that Yang Shuyong and his family also drove a carriage over. If they didn't want to rush back and delay their work, why did Yang Shuyong and his wife rush in the middle of the night? Although Yang's shop is far away from Liujiaao, it can be reached in a daytime after breakfast and then set off for a hurry!

Zhou patted Ah Fu through the quilt, and said with a chuckle: "You, when I saw you at noon, I thought you had changed your personality as a mother, but at this time, it seems that it is still the same as when you were a girl, and you still love to worry about others." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Chen was a little embarrassed. She just didn't want to drag Yang Shuyong and his wife too much. In other words, in fact, she has not regarded this couple as her own relatives, and if she delays others too much, she will feel sorry for it and feel that she owes it a favor. I believe that my sister should not treat her brother like this--see outside!

grinning, revealing a smile, Qiu Chen said silently to Yousheng. Zhou didn't care.

Still patting Ah Fu lightly on the back, he said softly: "Don't worry, your eldest brother knows in his heart, if he thinks it can't be done, he will naturally not be reluctant to stay." Ming'er wants you to be busy, don't worry about this, go to sleep! ”

Since Zhou said so, Qiu Chen was no longer reluctant. If she behaves too much, I'm afraid it will hurt Yang Shuyong's love for his sister.

Because he was worried about something, Qiu Chen woke up early the next morning.

Zhou's sleeping kang head, slightly sideways, sleeping peacefully. The two children slept so much that they stretched their arms out of the quilt, and their little faces were dyed with a thin layer of red, and they also slept soundly and soundly.

Qiu Chen slowly got up, dressed, and got out of bed lightly. I thought that this would not disturb other people, but I didn't think that she had just put on her shoes, and Zhou had already sat up: "What time is it?" ”

Well, Qiu Chen is still a little confused about the hour, and even twelve hours are sometimes confused, not to mention looking at the sky to distinguish the time.

There was no way to answer Zhou's question, Qiu Chen simply replied vaguely: "It's still early, sister-in-law can sleep for a while!" ”

Zhou sighed, but shook his head, reached out and touched his clothes and put them on: "No, there are many things to do today, I'll get up and give you a hand, don't miss anything!" ”

Qiu Chen felt a little uncomfortable, but he also felt cared for by the people, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law really cares for me!" ”

Zhou's nose was sour, and she laughed, and the two of them left the house with a smile.

After a simple wash, Mr. boiled water, scooped up rice and put it in a pot to steam. There are many people, and the patterns are too rich to make, and if there are no patterns, it will be lost in simplicity, so Qiu Chen remembered that the fragrant and rich fried rice, it should be that there are few or no people here, and the fried rice for breakfast is both vegetables and rice, and it is all in one pot.

Cut the salted meat into cubes, beat the eggs in the basin, cut a little diced cabbage, chopped green onion and ginger are indispensable, and cut a lock of garlic seedlings on the windowsill of the kang head and cut them into minced pieces. This is the topping of today's egg fried rice, which is a little simpler, but it should be very rich.

After getting these done, Qiu Chen went to the fried medicine shed to check the finished product Luo Buma. They divided the Luobu hemp into one pound and one small bag, and then each sack contained thirty small packets, which is thirty pounds of net weight. In this way, it is convenient to count, and Qiu Chen only needs to count to get accurate inventory.

After seven or eight days of busyness, this time a total of 486 catties of Luo Bu Ma were produced. Qiu Chen made a slight estimate, minus the acquisition cost and labor costs, and she should be able to earn more than 100 taels of income when this batch of goods is delivered.

a hundred taels of silver...... It should be enough to build a horse shed and a courtyard wall this time. At this moment, Qiu Chen was thinking in his heart that the Huichun Hall would come over early to collect the truck. Otherwise, Yang Shuyong will be delayed when he goes to the brick kiln to pull bricks. When she came out of the fried medicine shed, Yang Shuyong and Lin Xu also got up, and after washing, the two of them also led the horses out for a walk.

After seeing Qiu Chen, Lin Xu called his sister-in-law, and Qiu Chen called his eldest brother, which was regarded as greeting each other, and the two brothers talked happily and went out.

Qiu Chen looked at their backs and shook his head with a smile. Lin Xu has always loved horses, but now with Yang Shuyong, an experienced horse breeder, he will naturally be excited. And Yang Shuyong can be so admired by a scholar, he must be very proud, and these two people can be regarded as like-minded.

After entering the house, the rice in the pot had been steamed, so Qiu Chen took it out to dry, and then called the two little lazy cats in the house and washed them with hot water. Come back again and brush the pot and start frying the rice.

Dry stir-fry diced meat, fry out the fat in the fatty meat, put in the green onion and ginger and stir-fry, add diced cabbage, stir-fry for a while, you can add rice to fry, when the rice is close to the end, pour the egg liquid, stir-fry evenly, let each grain of rice surface hang a layer of golden egg liquid, and then point into the sesame oil, put in the verdant garlic sprouts, a pot of rich color, rich fragrance fried rice is done.

Place the fried rice in a large clay pot. Qiu Chen added water to the oil pot, made an egg flower soup, a rice and a soup, and added two small pickle plates, and the simple but delicious breakfast was ready to be served.

The meal here is ready, but Yang Shuyong and Lin Xu haven't seen anyone yet. Qiu Chen went to the door of the house to look around, but he didn't see it, and then turned around Ah Fu Aman was just like two little gluttonous cats, sucking his little nose on the fried rice bowl and smelling the fragrance.

This appearance made Qiu Chen a little crying and laughing. It's good that she is their own mother now, otherwise, she would have thought that she would have abused them.

Zhou also looked at it and smiled, took two bowls, and gave each of the two children a small half, so that they could eat first. Qiu Chen just smiled, but he didn't stop him.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yang Shuyong and Lin Xu to come back, and the family sat down to eat, and Qiu Chen's egg fried rice was naturally well received by the whole family. Yang Shuyong ate three bowls by himself, and even Lin Xu ate two bowls.

Yang Shuyong finished eating the third bowl of rice, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Begonia's cooking skills to be so good, this rice is so fragrant, much better than your sister-in-law." She's never made such fragrant rice before! ”

As soon as these words fell, Zhou glanced at her husband fiercely.

Qiu Chen also laughed and said, "Big brother is right, I don't dare to admit it." My sister-in-law's cooking is really delicious, and I still think about it a lot! ”

People in the village don't see meat stars in their meals all year round, and rice is rarely eaten, how do you compare black-flour steamed buns with pickled vegetable gnocchi and fried rice with minced meat and eggs? There is no comparison at all, and it is not a question of good or bad cooking at all! Fortunately, hearing Qiu Chen say this, Yang Shuyong also came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Also, your sister-in-law rolls cakes and noodles are a must, and no one in our Yang family shop can compare to her." ”

Zhou had just disappeared without the praise of her sister-in-law and her husband, but instead showed a look of shame, glared at Yang Shuyong again, and left the house with his hands and feet. The remaining Qiu Chen and Yang Shuyong brothers and sisters looked at each other and smiled.

Qiu Chen learned from Yang Shuyong that the brick kiln Qingshui Town was southeast of Liujiaao, almost twenty miles away. After breakfast, I can return at noon, and I can take another trip in the afternoon. Yang Shuyong also said that if he gets up early, he can make three trips a day...... However, as soon as he mentioned this, Qiu Chen denied it. Your own project does not wait for the bricks to be used urgently, there is no need to rush to work, people are tired, tired and tired, it is not worth it!

After a little hesitation, Qiu Chen clapped his hands and said, "Load the medicine, let's send it to the medicine shop in the town by the way, and then go to the brick kiln to pull bricks." ”

The sacks containing medicinal herbs are large and lightweight, and it is still very easy for two carriages to carry more than ten sacks at the same time. Qiu Chen went to call Erkui over, and he drove a car. Very, the carriage was loaded, Qiu Chen handed over all the family affairs to Lan Ying to take care of, so together with Zhou, he took Afu Aman, got into the carriage together, and set off with the clattering of horses' hooves.

The chestnut red horse has excellent foot strength, pulling a few sacks of medicinal herbs and a few mouthfuls of people, and the speed is still steady. Although Yang Shuyong brought the horses with a bloodline that was not noble enough, he was very obedient and obedient, and he pulled up the cart very much, and the two carriages wanted to follow, and in less than half an hour, they entered Qingshui Town.

The farmer's meal is early, and it is not the beginning of the morning, which is equivalent to seven o'clock in the morning in modern times. Along the way, most of the shops on both sides of the street have just removed their door panels and are ready to open for business.

Rejuvenation Hall is no exception. Before the shopkeeper Chen arrived, the two young men who opened the door one step ahead of time saw that Qiu Chen was surprised. The young man who had been helped by Qiu Chen once, his name was Cai Erniu, and he reacted very well and greeted him with a smile.

"Mrs. Lin is early, why did she come here so early? This also pulls the medicine...... Yesterday, I listened to the arrangement of the shopkeeper Chen, and I will go to your house to deliver the goods after noon! Cai Erniu smiled and took Aman in Qiu Chen's arms, and led Qiu Chen's mother and son inside.

"I'm going to the brick kiln to transport bricks, and I happened to pass by, so I brought the medicine over, so that you don't have to send cars and horses again, and besides, our family has come out, and no one at home has delivered it for most of the day."

Qiu Chen secretly said that he was lucky, and also beckoned Yang Shuyong and his wife to park the car and come in for a while. She delivered the goods so that she could get the cash, and without waiting for the shopkeeper Chen to come, these two young men couldn't pay her bills!

Well, after Qiu Chen and a few people entered the door, it didn't take long for Mr. Zhao, Shopkeeper Chen and Jiang Zheng to come one after another, and seeing Qiu Chen deliver the goods to the door, Shopkeeper Chen was slightly surprised, but he was also very happy. After all, he has limited manpower on his side, and he has to send someone to send a car to transport medicinal materials to Liujiaao, so he is still quite nervous here.

Because Qiu Chen sent Luo Bu Ma to be packed in separate packages, it was quick and convenient to check the quantity, but with a cup of tea, more than 400 catties of Luo Bu Ma were inspected and entered into the warehouse. Shopkeeper Chen also happily took the silver to pay the bill, a total of 145 taels and 8 coins of silver. This time, Qiu Chen still only needed two fifty taels of silver tickets, and the rest were all in cash, just for the convenience of buying things.

After resigning from the people in the Rejuvenation Hall, Qiu Chen and his entourage left the Rejuvenation Hall, and Qiu Chen took two ingots and ten taels of silver and handed them to Yang Shuyong.

Yang Shuyong said: "Sister, my father and mother originally asked me to send you five taels of silver, but in case of pulling bricks, I won't give you cash." It takes about ten taels to pull the bricks, so I'll add the five taels, and you can give me another five taels. ”

Five taels is definitely not a small amount of money for the Yang family, and it can be used to give her this married girl, not to mention her brother, even the sister-in-law Zhou did not show any indifference, which shows that the old Yang family is really distressed about Begonia.

It is definitely not okay to refuse such a sincere blood kinship, Qiu Chen sighed slightly, and said with a smile: "Big brother, although the price calculation is good, but it is inconvenient to go out, it is better to bring more money." In case something happens, such as a price increase, you can also deal with it calmly. ”

As he spoke, he stuffed two ingots of silver into Yang Shuyong's hand, and said with a smile: "I was in a hurry from home just now, and I forgot to bring some dry food." If you can't come back at noon, you and Erkui don't go hungry and find a clean restaurant to eat! ”

"Alright, I got it!" Poplar happily agreed. A street corner put down Qiu Chen, Zhou and the two children, flicked the whip, played with a whip flower in a very chic manner, made a crisp sound, the horse's hooves clicked, and the two carriages followed each other through Qingshui Town, heading straight for the brick kiln.

Qiu Chen and Zhou took their two children, Qingshui Town, to get out of the car, and then buy the things they needed after the project started. It is mainly a variety of ingredients needed for the plumber's meal.

Qiu Chen was thinking that in addition to various ingredients, he also had to buy a bath bucket for bathing, two chairs and a table, so that everyone in the family would have a place to sit in the future, so that men, women and children would not have to squeeze on the kang. There are also tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, and plates...... When you think about it, it's a thing that is not old or young.

went out early and had plenty of time to shop, so Qiu Chen and Zhou took their two children to walk over slowly.

Zhou is a standard rural woman, don't look at her own family is to catch a big car, but she rarely goes out, and it is the first time in her life to go shopping leisurely like this. Then she looked at Qiu Chen buying things that she thought were luxury goods without blinking her eyes, and she was secretly speechless. Sure enough, the sister-in-law really had it.

The shops in Qingshui Town are concentrated on a main street, and the things are far less abundant than in modern times, no matter how strong you are to shop**, there are not many things for you to spend money on, so it took an hour to buy them all. It is nothing more than rice, flour, vegetarian oil, pork, vegetables, two sets of tables and chairs, both square tables with four high-backed chairs, and six benches.

What made Qiu Chen happier was that because he came early, the meat stall had just been opened, and the pig's head and pig's water were particularly complete, so Qiu Chen wrapped two sets of pig's head, pig's trotters, and pig water. When the butcher saw that she had bought too much, he happily set up two sets of pork bones and two pots of pig blood, which was a small surprise. With these pig blood and pig bones, Qiu Chen can make a lot of good dishes.

It will only take an hour to buy this pass, look at the sky, and it will take at least an hour for Yang Shuyong and the two to pull the bricks back. So, the sellers sent these grains, rice, meat, vegetables, tables, chairs and benches to the backyard of the Huichun Hall for temporary storage, and Qiu Chen and Zhou led the two children and began to go shopping in a really leisurely manner.

The need to buy is all in place, the group has no pressure, shopping is naturally like a leisurely stroll, the two children are also alive, looking for strange things, every time they see that the children are interested in something, Qiu Chen will let them pull him to see for a while. When passing by the Dashengkui dim sum shop, Qiu Chen bought a bag of honey and three knives for the children, and as soon as the delicious dessert was put in his mouth, the two children were stable.

He received Aman in one hand and a few bags of snacks in the other. Qiu Chen and Zhou were chatting and walking slowly. When I passed through the cloth village, I turned in and bought five pieces of cyan muslin, one piece of autumn fragrant muslin, and two pieces of sandalwood muslin, and let the cloth village guys wrap it up, and they were also sent to the Huichun Hall.

Then, I only carried a few bags of dim sum and wandered around slowly, and then stopped at a noodle restaurant where I had eaten once.

After walking for an hour and a half, the two children were obviously wilted, and Zhou also showed a tired look, Qiu Chen took the three of them in. At this time, breakfast is over, lunch is still a little early, and the noodle restaurant is very quiet, only a young man cleans the tables, chairs and benches.

Seeing Qiu Chen and his entourage enter the door, the young man hurriedly greeted him with a smile and led the four of them to a table. Qiu Chen asked for four wontons, and although Zhou came all the way over, he saw Qiu Chen spending money like water, and when he heard a bowl of wontons for ten cents, he was still reluctant to stop it, but Qiu Chen ignored it.

There are four large bowls of thin skin stuffed large wontons on the side, there is no seaweed shrimp skin here, only a few pieces of minced green garlic and a few drops of sesame oil, it is also refreshing.

Qiu Chen scooped up the wontons and fed them to Aman, while talking to Zhou: "Sister-in-law, Junwen is also sixteen years old, do you plan to let him follow his eldest brother to catch the car?" "Yang Junwen is the eldest son of Haitang's eldest brother, and there are two sons Junshu Junyan, who are eleven and seven years old.

Engaging in transportation is not not unprofitable, and modern freight transportation is very profitable. But like the Yang family, they are just attached to the big car shop and pull goods and people for others, at best, they will make a lot of hard money. If you are still willing to keep the car driving skills, then you can also find a way to open up your own freight transportation routes, take orders alone, and open your own logistics company.

Speaking of his eldest son, Zhou was not worried, and sighed softly and said: "Our family only has two cars, and your eldest brother and second brother have one car." Although Junwen has been fiddling with the carriage since he was a child, he can't let him go to the car, let your eldest brother be idle! No, a few days ago, I discussed with your eldest brother and wanted to send him to the county town to be an apprentice, learn some crafts, and make a living. ”

Apprentice? Qiu Chen frowned slightly, she didn't think that apprenticeship was a good way out. Not to mention that if you follow a mean and vicious owner, you will be bullied, even if you are a merciful owner, you will have to work for nothing for at least three years before you can become a young man. If the young man wants to get ahead, he can only be the shopkeeper, otherwise, it will only be a few hundred clerks every month. But there are so many young men, after all, it is very rare that they can be promoted to the shopkeeper. What's more, Yang Junwen is already sixteen years old, and at this age, the village has reached the age of discussing relatives, and it is a little late to start being an apprentice.

After pondering silently for a while, Qiu Chen still didn't mention asking her nephew to come over to help her. It's not that she can't afford to raise a child, it's just that she knows too little about the Yang family and the child she has never met.

After thinking about it, Qiu Chen spoke: "Sister-in-law, you see that I am building a horse shed and pulling the courtyard wall here, and I have to be busy for more than ten days. I can't leave you and my brother here, why don't you go back and discuss with Junwen, and ask him to come and help me for a few days, run around town, and buy vegetables or something. ”

Zhou didn't hesitate this time, and immediately agreed with a smile: "What else to discuss, when I go back, he will be willing." When your brother and I came, those boys, even your second brother's little handsome house, had not left the ground, so they jumped to follow, fortunately they got up at night and hurried, otherwise they didn't know how to make a fuss! ”

Thinking about the large group of Tao boys shouting and being lively, Qiu Chen also smiled: "Junli is too young, I can't take care of it at this time, so it is inevitable that I will be negligent." The others, as long as there is no work at home, let them come. ”

Junwen is already sixteen years old, that's all, the eldest brother's second son Junshu is eleven years old, the youngest son is seven years old, and the second brother's eldest son Junzhang is eight years old, but they are all the age when they should study. Let them come over and follow Lin Sheng to get acquainted with it, and maybe they can find one or two reading seedlings. If you want to really get ahead, whether it is ancient or modern, reading and learning knowledge is the right way!

Even if you are a shop shopkeeper, you have to be literate and settle accounts!

As far as Qiu Chen's current development trend is concerned, what the Lin family lacks is popularity, if a few nephews have good character and are eager to learn, she doesn't care about spending a few taels of silver for them to go to school. If so, with a few nephews of his own family living here, the Lin family will be able to change Liu Jiaao's weakness immediately. No one dares to covet anything easily.

When Zhou heard Qiu Chen say this, he was naturally happy in his heart, but he inevitably said a few polite words. The two talked and laughed, and after eating a bowl of wontons, it was more than a quarter of an hour, and it was estimated that Yang Shuyong and Er Kui should rush back, so Qiu Chen paid the bill and took Zhou and the two children to prepare to go to the Rejuvenation Hall.

Halfway through, Qiu Chen patted his head and shouted, "Oops, I forgot to buy wine, it's really ......."

Zhou was also a little anxious when he heard it, the people in the village took care of the meal, and it was okay to pay it back at noon, but the wine was to be served for dinner, even if it was only five cents and a pound of bad wine, but it would be said that if it was not.

There is no professional wine shop in Qingshui Town, and grocery stores and restaurants sell wine, but the quality of wine sold in restaurants is good, and the price is naturally high. After thinking about it, Qiu Chen still went straight to Liuxian Tower. After all, there is Liu Jincai over there, not trying to save money, trying to be genuine.

It is easy to do things with acquaintances, and this has always been the case. Qiu Chen went to Liuxian Mansion and talked to Liu Jincai, but without saying a word, Liu Jincai asked the job to go to the back warehouse and move four jars of wine. Forty catties of wine, four taels of silver, Qiu Chen felt that it was not expensive. The four jars of wine were naturally temporarily put in the immortal building, and when the carriage came, they took it on a detour.

This time it's ready. Qiu Chen chatted with the Zhou family again to make sure that there was no omission, and then he resigned from Liu Jincai and prepared to return to the Spring Hall.

Aman walked all morning, and his little short legs were sore, so he hugged Qiu Chen's legs and coquettishly refused to walk by himself. Qiu Chen was funny and pitiful, and the little girl knocked on the door of her head and hugged her in her arms. Then he held Aman in one hand and Ah Fu in the other, talked and laughed with Zhou, and walked away slowly step by step.

Qiu Chen didn't know that at this time, before it was time to eat, there was already a table of guests sitting in a private room upstairs in Liuxian. Several young men in brocade clothes and crowns, each with a graceful demeanor, and the cloud pavilion is handsome.

It was Qiu Chen who didn't see Liao Wenqing in the Rejuvenation Hall, and Qin Zheng was still wearing a cyan robe sitting with him, and the other tsundere man was still wearing a warm shirt, but it was changed from crimson to crimson.

The three sons sat around the table, and they didn't have to wait for their own little servants, and the three little guys who were about the same age retreated to the window and waited for orders. However, when they are bored, teenagers can't help but turn their heads and look down from the window to see the people and cars coming and going on the street, which can also help them resist the attraction of the aroma of wine and food on the table.

Liao Wenqing raised his glass to Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong, and said: "The two of you came to Qingshui Town this time, although Wenqing is facing you every day, she still feels that time is in a hurry, and her heartfelt words are not seven or eight out of ten, but the two military affairs bodies can't linger for a few more days, and they deeply hate that they are useless, and they are useless in civil and military affairs...... Alas, this, Wen Qing can only use the things in this cup to pay tribute to the two, and wish the two outstanding achievements and frequent good news. ”

Qin Zheng and Tang Wenyong naturally raised their glasses in response, and the three of them all raised their glasses, and before the wine entered their mouths, before they could fall into their throats, Tang Wenyong's little servant over there shouted out violently: "Vixen!" ”

Liao Wenqing and Tang Wenyong choked on the wine in their mouths at the same time and coughed violently. Even if he was as calm and solemn as Qin Zheng, he was stunned by this voice before he swallowed the wine in his mouth, and his face became colder and colder in a blink of an eye.

Tang Wenyong choked Liao Wenqing hard, and coughed for a long time before he regained his strength. An Yan shouted out in his voice, and immediately knew that he was in trouble, so he hurriedly ran over to pat his son-in-law on the back, and served tea and water to be courteous, only hoping that his son-in-law would be relieved of punishment when he saw his good attitude.

Tang Wenyong took a sip of the teacup, cleared his throat, and then really calmed down, raised his hand and knocked his forehead, and reprimanded: "It's always hairy, if it's like this again, you just go back to the house!" ”

If the little guy makes a mistake, he is scolded and beaten and has to be corrected and won the master's appreciation for a day, if he is driven back to the house, it is completely disgusted by the master, and he is driven back to the little slave, and no one will be reused in this life, and even the owner of the family is angry and beats to death, but it is not a word...... l3l4
