Chapter 129: Sound in the middle of the night
When she got home, Wei Sanniang took out a red cloth bag, wrapped in three layers inside and three layers outside, and there were six blessings inside, which was just now in a meditation room in the Dragon King Temple to ask an old monk to pray for blessings, everyone in the family, including the thirteen.
“…… Put it on your body, or put it in your underwear, you can dispel evil and promote righteousness, eliminate disasters and solve problems! ”
Hu Xiaomei took it and looked at it over and over again, and when she opened it, it was just a piece of red paper with her birthday written on it, just like some local gods in modern mountain villages are counted as eight sons.
Just such a piece of paper Wei Sanniang waited in the house for almost an hour, and after knowing that Wei Sanniang still spent 600 copper plates, Hu Xiaomei was so distressed that she pumped!
This is a harmful superstition!
After the Lantern Festival, the atmosphere of the New Year slowly faded, those who should go out to work went out to work, and those who should be cleaned up in the field began to pick up. In the blink of an eye, the spring flowers bloom in March, and everywhere is full of greenery, birds call and flowers are fragrant, and they are full of vitality.
The chrysanthemum in the vegetable field has grown tall, the tall one grows to more than one person tall, the short one is more than half a person tall, the flowers of chrysanthemum bloom like wild chrysanthemum, the color is bright, slowly the petal color becomes light yellow, the stamens become bright yellow, wait until the flowers wither, the seeds in the stamens are completely ripe, then you can harvest the chrysanthemum seeds.
The seeds are collected and found to dry, and the chrysanthemum stalks may be dried for firewood.
After the chrysanthemum seeds are directly harvested, there are deflated, bad, pick out the deflated bad ones, and then put the particles full and beautiful colors in bags, and wait until the next time you plant chrysanthemum, you can use them as seeds.
And after the sewing workshop in Layueli sent a few orders of business one after another, there were no orders for the time being. Fox Xiaomei took advantage of her free time to take a look at all the remaining eiderdown. In order to catch up with the sun, the duck down was taken out in batches to bask in the sun. At the end of the chrysanthemum harvesting, all the chrysanthemum stalks are cut off and these chrysanthemum stalks are dried for firewood.
After a while, the second batch of chrysanthemum vegetables will be planted, and when the vegetable field is vacated, everyone is not in a hurry to plant others.
After resting the business of jackets, there is not much work in the field, Wei Sanniang and Hu Xiaomei are temporarily idle at home, and Hu Dayou and Thirteen still go to the market every day to sell bean curd, because there is one more seller of bean curd, but the business is not as good as before.
Originally, he could sell five or six catties of bean curd every day, but now he can only sell three or four catties of bean curd. Business is easy to do as long as it makes money. Someone followed right away. The income is a little less. Fox Otomo sighed for a day or two.
Although Wei Sanniang also felt that it was a pity, fortunately, there was still a down jacket from Hu Xiaomei, and the family's income would not fall too much. She relieved the fox to spend more time carrying the burden and going to the hometown to sell. Pull up the slippery income.
This is a way to increase your income. But if you can think of it, others will naturally think of it. And it's tiring.
Fox Xiaomei told Fox Dayou how to eat modern bean curd one by one: "...... Some people have a sweet tooth and some prefer salty ones. So, you can add some saltiness to the bean curd. For spicy seasoning, we can stir-fry some soybeans and scoop a few soybeans into the salty and spicy bean curd...... It's a different flavor than the sweet bean curd......"
Everyone has many different tastes, and there is always something new to like.
Fox Dayou changed the taste according to Fox Xiaomei's method, and sure enough, some people prefer salty and spicy bean curd. This food thing, as long as there is no exclusive secret, is easy to be imitated, and the new thing can only be ahead of a few days before someone will follow suit, so he no longer has the luxury of hoping that he can monopolize the business of an industry.
Doing business is about conscience, integrity, as long as the portion is sufficient, honest, do not do opportunistic things, after a long time, customers can naturally distinguish who will do business more. When you become a regular customer, it will not be easy to be snatched away again!
After listening to Hu Xiaomei's words with a serious expression, he was surprised and agreed at the same time, he laughed and said: "My father is dozens of years old, but he hasn't thought through it as much as my daughter!" ”
"Dad is also for the good of our family for a while." Fox Xiaomei said with a smile. If she wasn't the one to live again, how could she think through this!
If there is a seller of bean curd, there is a second, and then a third. Fox Dayou's business is also not as good as before. However, according to Hu Xiaomei's words, he scooped as many bean curd as he wanted for the guests, added as much sugar as he wanted, and occasionally gave some small discounts. Coupled with the many flavors, gradually, the people who bought bean curd came back again.
At the same time, Fox Liyun's family affair was officially booked.
The in-law's family is indeed Wu Zong, the youngest son of the Wu family in Weijia Town.
Why are Fox Liyun and Wei Qingbao so close these days?
Fox Xiaomei couldn't figure it out.
But judging from Wu Zongniang's meeting gift to Fox Liyun and a pair of jade bracelets, Wu Zongniang is very satisfied with Fox Liyun.
The fox fence cloud can be regarded as flying into the golden nest, and it can't be compared with the noble lady of a wealthy family, but it is certain that the future life will be easy and comfortable. This made the waist of Hu Liyun and even Hu Yingtian and his wife straighten a lot in Hujia Village, and everyone greeted Pan with a smile when they saw it, and praised them with good words.
This matter was lively in Hujia Village for a while, and it was covered up by Zhou Lanhua's marriage.
Zhou Lanhua's mother-in-law is also a family in Weijia Town, doing a small business, but it is slightly inferior to the Wu family. However, Zhou Lanhua is well-behaved and sensible, and will please her mother-in-law, and on the day of marriage, the Liu family specially carried a green canopy top sedan chair wrapped with red silk to Zhou's house to pick up Zhou Lanhua. You must know that for so many years in Hujia Village, even when the fox fence was married, it was also used with a donkey cart. The bride can sit on a big red sedan chair to get married, what a shameful thing!
Watching the lively people from the entrance of the village to the end of the village, the horse's head is tied with a big flower made of red silk cloth, the team blows the trumpet and beats the drum, the groom wearing a big red wedding dress rides a good horse in good spirits and walks beside the sedan chair, carrying the sun slowly on his back, stepping on the clouds and stepping on the moon, and the dazzling light reflected on the body shines on everyone's eyes.
Looking at the excitement, some young girls couldn't help but show shy and envious expressions.
A good in-law, a handsome husband, an enviable wedding, this is what every girl wants.
These are nothing in the eyes of Fox Xiaomei, who came from modern times, but Fox Fence Xiang values them very much.
Since Fox Liyun got engaged and Zhou Lanhua got married, Fox Lixiang became more and more silent when she had nothing to do, and often sat quietly alone, not knowing what to think.
Wei Sanniang has asked a matchmaker to help see if there is a suitable in-law, and soon there will be news. The other party is a person from the Wang family's village, called Wang Shanqi, nineteen this year, and has an elder brother who has become married. There is no separation, the family lives together, the family has six or seven acres of land, the father once broke his leg, and it is a little inconvenient to walk, and the mother is weak and cannot do heavy work.
Therefore, now the burden of the family is mainly borne by the brother and sister-in-law, and Wang Shanqi will also help share it.
Wang Shanqi is good-looking, and his family background is better than that of Hu Xiaomei's family. According to the surrounding neighbors, Wang Shanqi is a capable and honest boy. He is easy-going, steady, and has a good reputation in Wang's village.
In terms of all conditions, it is actually quite good. The matchmaker recounted it in a frenzy, but Wei Sanniang did not agree immediately, and said that she would discuss with Fox Dayou at night by taking advantage of the fact that Fox Dayou was not at home.
In the afternoon, Wei Sanniang went back to her parents' house, Wei Dahe is a doctor, and he often walks around more than a dozen villages in this area, so he naturally knows more news. Wang Shan Qiwei Dahe also has contact, he is indeed honest and loyal, and he is also the leader of the work. Father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, plus a little nephew, a family of six live together.
At night, Wei Sanniang lay on the bed and discussed with Fox Dayou: "What do you think, the conduct is okay, but I don't know if I can get along with the fence incense?" ”
"You have to get through slowly, it's not a big problem. I don't know each other's temperament when we first got married, and I haven't been slowly groping for your temperament. Fox Otomo said.
Hearing this, Wei Sanniang couldn't help but sneer at him: "I'm talking about the child, what are you talking about?" ”
"I'm telling the truth." Fox Dayou is a serious way.
"People are good, but I always feel that Wang Shanqi's burden is too heavy. Father's legs and feet are not good, his mother is sick and weak, and the work of the family falls on his two brothers, in case the two brothers go out to make a living in the future, all the burden must not fall on Lixiang and Wang Shanqi's sister-in-law, if the two get along well, if the temperament is not compatible, I am afraid that we will suffer. Wei Sanniang said worriedly.
Fox Fence Fragrance's temperament is cold and arrogant, stubborn, if you meet someone who likes to play small tricks, and people in front of them and people in the back, they will really suffer.
Fox Dayou nodded solemnly.
"Moreover, their eldest son has not separated for a few years, and the family has a few acres of land, if Wang Shanqi is also married, the two brothers will not be able to share much, and then it will be almost the same situation as our family before." At that time, the fox fence will have to live a hard life, and the little couple will have to start over on their own.
"Then forget it." Fox Otomo is very simple.
"However, life depends not only on the family background, but also on the man's temperament, you can know ...... when you look at Xiang's family."
Wang Changsheng often quarrels with the Xiang clan and will do it.
"So what do you say?" Fox Dayou wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at her. I feel that a woman is the benevolence of a woman: "If you can do it, if you can't do it, you can't do it." The eldest of our family is only sixteen, and it is the time to say goodbye, and she doesn't look bad, are you still afraid that she won't find a good mother-in-law? ”
That's just as well!
Wei Sanniang nodded: "I think so too." Let's push this thing first, and then we'll see the rest. ”
Fox Dayou looked at her speechlessly, obviously he already had an idea in his heart, but he still had to hesitate to say so much to him, but his mouth was smooth: "Okay, it's up to your ......"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of crackling firecrackers outside. The voice is short and urgent!
Whoever fires the cannon in the middle of the night, listening to the sound, must be from the Fox Village, not the direction of the Fox Family, but like that side, this cannon is short, and only funerals will use this kind of firecracker. Whose house should it be......
The two glanced at each other, and the next moment there was a cry of "Wow Woo ......" from the village, and the sound resounded throughout the entire Hujia Village! (To be continued......)
