Chapter 26: Cheng Mi's Decision

Cheng Dazhuang's makeup was sent to the old house, and Cheng Mi actually appeared at Chen Jia's house the next day!

It turned out that Cheng Mi heard that the eldest brother's family was too busy, so he took the initiative to tell the old man that he would go to the eldest brother's house to help for a few days a few years ago. The New Year will be in ten days, and there will be nothing at home. Old Man Cheng agreed as soon as he heard it. The next day, Cheng Mi went to the town and followed the Lu family's carriage to Chen Jia's house.

Chen was also very moved when he heard that Cheng Mi took the initiative to help, and took advantage of some free time in the afternoon to help Cheng Mi make two new clothes.

With the addition of Cheng Mi, Chen Jia and a few people are finally relaxed, the kitchen has Cheng Dazhuang, Chen's, Cheng Mi, Xiaoyou and Aunt Hua, Cheng Biting Jin is taken care of by Xiaoping, and setting up a stall is still the work of Chen Jia and her two brothers, but the New Year is coming soon, and if you want to be really relaxed, you can wait until the New Year, and now is a good time to make money.

Cheng Mi heard that Aunt Hua's family bought it, and she didn't have any prejudice against Aunt Hua's family, she was still very polite! often take the initiative to help Aunt Hua. He is very diligent in his work.

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the Cheng family ended the business at noon, and everyone decided to go to the county together to buy New Year's goods. Because Cheng Mi was about to get married, Chen went to Yinlou first, wanting to add another jewelry to Cheng Mi.

Cheng Mi took a fancy to a hollow silver bracelet and asked for four dollars of silver. But Chen shook his head and didn't buy it, so Cheng Mi casually picked a pair of earrings. It cost only two pennies.

After Cheng Mi bought it, he said that he wanted to go shopping on the street again, saying that he could find a way back, and Chen agreed.

After Cheng Mi left, Chen asked the owner of the silver building to buy a solid silver bracelet and a silver hairpin, because it was a new trick, and it cost two taels of silver. Chen Jia felt funny when she saw it, her mother was a solid eye, and if others were good to her, she should be very good to others. She must have felt that the hollowed-out silver bracelets were soft, and she was afraid of wearing them out of shape, so she specially bought two solid bracelets, which were heavy enough in the countryside. I guess my sister-in-law will be happy for a long time when she sees it!

Chen and Aunt Hua's family went to buy New Year's goods, Chen Jia wanted to go shopping everywhere with his brothers, Chen also agreed, and gave them some loose silver to buy some things they liked. The three of them were walking, and suddenly a little girl came next to them, "Little sister, where did you make this dress, I want to make the same one!" ”

Chen Jia took a look, this little girl was about nine years old, dressed very exquisitely, followed by a maid and a Xiao Si, and at first glance she was the daughter of a rich family.

"I did it myself!" This girl is quite discerning,

"Can you sell it to me, I want my mother to make me the same one, and I'll take it to my mother to make a look."

Chen Jia was stunned when she heard this, sure enough, she was a child of a rich family, and she wanted to buy it directly, and she didn't think about what others were wearing.

"Not for sale!"

"I'll give you ten taels of silver, will you sell it?" The little girl looked sincere, and the maid next to her immediately prepared to take out the money from her purse.

"I can paint it and sell it to you, but not the clothes, because I made it myself!"

"Okay, I'll buy it if you paint it!"

Chen Jia walked with her to a shop selling calligraphy and paintings, borrowed paper and pencils, and Chen Jia drew in a few minutes, "Here you go!" ”

The little girl paid and went away happily.

"Sister, you're too powerful, just draw a picture and sell it for ten taels of silver!" Cheng Hu couldn't believe this scene.

"Alas, I knew that I still make tofu, so I just paint clothes and sell them every day! By the way, now we have ten taels of silver and we can go eat some delicious food! Chen Jia made a look of annoyance, raised her legs and walked into the restaurant next to her.

"Sister, let's go to the stall over there to eat, it must be so expensive here!"

The decoration of the restaurant is very exquisite, carved and painted, in modern terms, it can also be on the three-star standard, but Chen Jia believes that ten taels of silver are enough to eat.

"It's okay, I'm in for a treat, you just eat with your belly open!"

Chen Jia looked at the menu and ordered a few signature dishes, after the dishes were ready, Chen Jia was puzzled, and always felt that the dishes in the restaurant were sweet or salty. However, looking at the sweetness of Cheng Hu and Cheng Dong's food, Chen Jia didn't say it.

"Delicious!" Cheng Dong said while eating, "Sister, why don't you eat more?" ”

"I think the taste is very ordinary, I used to think that the dishes made by my mother were average, because the conditions at home were not good, there were no good seasonings, and now it seems that the conditions in this era are not good, and there are no chili peppers."

"What is a chili pepper? Is it OK to eat? ”

"Of course you can, but unfortunately, I don't know where to buy it!"

"If we can't buy it, let's just buy some seeds and plant them!" Cheng Dong said disappreciatively!

"Where do you sell seeds?" Chen Jia thought to herself, it's not bad to see if there is.

"Want to grow vegetables? Go out of the restaurant and go to the right, turn right at the intersection, and there are a few shops selling seeds in that alley. Opposite is the Ci Ren Tang Medical Center! "Cheng Hu is the eldest brother, and his ability to remember the road is really not covered. I just walked around, and I remembered all the surroundings. Chen Jia only looks at what interests him.

"Oh, is it? Then I'll wait and see! After Chen Jia finished eating, he only paid less than two taels of silver, but this is a lot in ordinary people's homes.

"Let's go and find a place to sell seeds."

When she arrived at the place where the seeds were sold, but she couldn't find the seeds she wanted, Chen Jia walked to the one opposite the Ciren Hall depressedly, just in time for the store to take some peppercorns and prepare to throw them out.

"Shopkeeper, is this going to be thrown away?" Chen Jia hurriedly said.

Seeing that it was a little girl, the shopkeeper didn't bother to hide anything, "Yes, no one wants to buy this, it's been put away for more than a year, and it's the seed that my brother-in-law brought when he ran the boat." I'll give it to you if you want it! ”

"Yes, then are there any other seeds, this kind of seed that no one wants."

"Yes, there are a few more, but I just brought them back this year, and I haven't thrown them away yet, and no one asks. Do you want to take a look? ”

Chen Jia didn't know any of these seeds, but there was one that was very similar to chili seeds, but it was a little small, so I still wanted to buy it and plant it!

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that someone was willing to ask for it, he waved his hand: "Fifty dollars, take it all!" ”

Chen Jia paid the money and carried away a sack of seeds.

"Great, but so much? Well, just buy some land on the outskirts of the county! That's it! Chen Jia raised his right hand and unconsciously made another "Come on!" Come on! ".

"Hey, isn't that my sister-in-law? The person talking to her looks like a ginger blacksmith! Chen Jia saw Cheng Mi talking to Jiang Blacksmith at the other end of the alley, looking extremely intimate, and Cheng Mi's face was still red. Xindao, this is miserable! You must tell Chen, otherwise it will be troublesome to make some earth-shattering moves!

Chen Jia and Chen mentioned that they saw their sister-in-law talking to Jiang Blacksmith, and Chen also paid attention to observation, but in the next few days, Cheng Mi didn't do anything inappropriate, so there was nothing wrong!

"Mother, let's buy some land, just buy it on the outskirts of the city, if you don't have time to plant, rent it to someone else to plant!" Chen Jia looked at Chen with an expectant expression.

"Okay, but where do you sell it?"

"This, just ask Steward Liu about it, and give him a red envelope when I buy it when I go back!"

"Chen Jia is quite thoughtful, what do you want to buy land for?" Chen said curiously.

"Grow vegetables and sell them, many people in the city don't have land, they all buy vegetables to eat, so can't we make money by growing vegetables?"

"Aren't you buying paddy fields?"

"I want some land, you can buy paddy fields if you want, anyway, I forget it, there is a surplus of two hundred taels of silver in the account, and it is enough to buy land and land!"

"Okay, I'll discuss it with your father and ask him to buy it quickly!" In fact, Chen discussed this matter with her husband a few days ago, and now that Chen Jia brought it up, she made up her mind.

On the twenty-ninth year, everyone returned to the mountains together. The New Year is still lively at home, and besides, the sixth day of the New Year is the day when the sister-in-law gets married, and the family must also prepare.

The house in the city was handed over to Aunt Hua's family to watch, and Chen told them to only make the tofu ordered by the Lu family and the Qian family every day, and not to do anything else, and the tofu fruit could be stored for a little longer, and the Chen family made a lot at one time, which was enough for the two families to use until the eighth day of the first month.

As soon as Chen Jia got home, she went to see the old man and had a pleasant lunch with the old man, but after eating, Chen Jia was kicked out by the old man again. Chen Jia was depressed again, "Grandpa, what are you trying to do, alas! I still play these for the New Year! ”

I went to the stone house of the old monk, put the finished book back, took out some books, and gave Cheng Dong a set of boxing books. Immediately after the Chinese New Year, Chen Jia took out the account book and calculated it carefully, and his family had more than 220 taels of silver left in addition to various expenses this month, so Chen Jia said the idea of buying land and land in the suburbs, and it was also supported!

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Chen gave Cheng Mi the bracelet and silver hairpin he bought, and made makeup for her, Cheng Mi thought that her sister-in-law was distressed about the silver and did not buy a bracelet for herself.

In the afternoon, Cheng Mi went to Cheng Xiu's house in the town,

"Sister, can you not make new tofu, I regret giving you the recipe!" Cheng Mi's big eyes were full of pleading.

"Cheng Mi, what's wrong with you, do you want to marry the Pan family? Didn't you say you still like ginger blacksmiths? Cheng Xiu said sharply.

"No, I don't want to, I'm going to marry Brother Jiang! However, my sister-in-law is very good and treats me well, and I don't want to hurt them. Cheng Mi shook his head, his eyes were dilated!

"Then it's over, I'll get you twenty taels of silver, you wait! You will go to him tonight, and come back after a year and a half of pregnancy, and your father and mother will admit it! As for your sister-in-law, I sell tofu in the town, and she is in the county, so I can't steal her business. Cheng Xiu's lips are very thin, but the words he says are full of temptation!

"But what about the Pan family?" Cheng Mi was a little worried.

"It's okay, there are so many people in the family to worry about, you just have to find a place to live with Jiang Blacksmith in peace! Don't those idlemen! Cheng Xiu said as he gave Cheng Mi a package of twenty taels of silver.

Cheng Mi accepted it in such a daze, and only thought in his heart: Go to the county and find Brother Jiang!

Jiang Blacksmith was originally very dissatisfied with the Cheng family's regret of marriage, and during this period, he also tried to let his younger brother bring his news to Cheng Xiu and tell her her own address, in order to let Cheng Mi come to the door, and now Cheng Mi really sent it to the door to elope with him, and he still brought silver, how could he be unwilling! It's just that he didn't want to lose his current job, so he rented a small yard on the outskirts of the county that day and settled Cheng Mi!
