Chapter 510: Early Autumn
The first is to ask for pink...... When Lian Man'er heard this, she couldn't help but pause. The amount of information covered in this sentence is too much. Zhou Catch them quickly, who else is coming back besides Zhou Catch Kuai? What do they come back for? Is it something to do when you come back temporarily, or will you not go back to Taicang again when you come back?
Lian Man'er really wanted to continue listening, but with Wu Jiayu by her side, she had to close the door of the East House and accompany Wu Jiayu to the West House. Lian Zhi'er spread a small mattress on the kang, Lian Man'er brought some snacks and fruits, and poured tea for Wu Jiayu, the three little girls sat around on the kang, Wu Jiayu took the basket next to him, and Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er made half of the needlework to see.
"Jiayu, eat." Lian Zhi'er let Wu Jiayu go.
"Hey." Wu Jiayu responded softly, and his eyes Chapter 510 In early autumn, he couldn't move from the flowers embroidered by Lianzhi'er.
Lian Man'er glanced at Wu Jiayu, the matter of Zhou Zhutou's return is different from Zhao Xiu'e's matter, Wu Jiayu should also know something. The reason why Wu Wang and Zhang drove them out must be because if they want to talk about Zhou Zhutou's return, they will talk about Zhao Xiu'e, and they are afraid that it will be inconvenient for their little girl to be next to them.
So everyone only pretends not to know about Zhao Xiu'e, and only asks Wu Jiayu about the matter of Zhou Zhou's head catching, it should be no problem.
Thinking so, Lian Man'er smiled and talked to Wu Jiayu, and quickly introduced the conversation to the main topic.
"My aunt came this time, did she hear any news from Taicang again?" Lian Man'er asked Wu Jiayudao.
"Hmm." Wu Jiayu nodded, "It's Zhou Zhutou's family who is back." ”
"The family is back, what's going on?" Lian Man'er asked.
"Our family just found out. I heard that their family came back the day before yesterday and has been in the county seat, and today they went back to the town in Zhou. The big guy knows. Wu Jiayu told Lian Man'er, "Zhou Zhutou and his daughter-in-law, as well as his father-in-law." It's all back. I heard that his father-in-law was sick and was not cured in Taicang, so he was afraid that there would be a bad one, so he quit his errand and came back. As a result, as soon as I came back in the early autumn of chapter 510, I looked for Lang Zhong from our county seat, took medicine again, and his illness was cured. ”
Zhou Zhutou came back and said when he saw people. The errand in Taicang is very good, that is, his daughter-in-law, and his father-in-law are always suffering from minor illnesses and disasters, and they don't plan to go back to Taicang this time. I plan to find an errand in our county office. ”
Hearing Wu Jiayu say this, Lian Man'er couldn't help but feel moved in her heart. Zhou Zhutou and his father-in-law, who is the famous master of the punishment, do not plan to return to Taicang. Things are by no means as simple as they seem. If this is the case, then why don't you come back early.
This incident must have something to do with the incident of Zhao Xiu'e. It seems that because of that incident, there was a rift between Zhou Zhutou's gang and the gang in the upper room of the Lian family. couldn't work together anymore, so Zhou Zhutou and they all came back, and in order to save face and cover up the truth, they also made up such a high-sounding reason.
However, is it just because of this reason that Zhou Zhutou came back at this time?
Wrong. Lian Man'er counted the days, the date of Zhou Zhutou's return, and the date when Wu Wang's family came to inform Zhao Xiu'e of the incident was not a small interval, so the time interval from the incident was even greater. Really just because of that incident, they should have come back from Taicang long ago that week. Since the relationship between the guest and the host is so awkward, why do they get along all these times?
Zhou Zhutou and his father-in-law, who was the master of the criminal name, went to Taicang when they went to the errand of the chief master of the criminal name. Both of these errands were extremely lucrative. There must be a very good reason for them to give up such abundant oil and water.
The so-called illness and treatment should be just an excuse to buffer.
Lian Man'er felt that Zhao Xiu'e's incident was a sufficient reason. But she can't use this standard to ask Zhou Zhutou and his gang to go to the house with the Lian family.
Is it just because it has to be, Lian Man'er thought to herself, I hope so
Wu Wang and Zhang chatted for a long time before taking Wu Jiayu away. After sending the two of them away, Lian Man'er asked the Zhang family again what Wu Wang's family had told her when she came this time.
Zhang didn't hide it, what she told Lian Man'er was roughly the same as what Wu Jiayu said.
"Your aunt said that Zhou Zhutou is over there in Taicang, I'm afraid they have enough money. His father-in-law is famous for eating people and not spitting out bones. ”
In the evening, Lian Shouxin came back from working outside, the family had dinner, and the Zhang family also told Lian Shouxin about it in front of Lian Zhi'er, Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi.
"It's good that they're back." Even Shouxin said, "I have also heard what Zhou Zhutou and his father-in-law are like." Especially his father-in-law, who can blow up copper coins from human bones and slag, is famous for asking for money and dying. It's just that he can't slip his hands, and he is willing to spend money on it, and nothing has happened over the years. …… His second uncle and they look very good at us, and when they come to others, they are not a child at all. …… No one brings it to the crooked, so it can be better. ”
"Then according to his person, there is still oil and water that has not been sucked clean, why did he come back?" Lian Man'er said casually, "It's just sick, I have no choice but to come back, isn't this good again, why don't you go back there quickly?" ”
Lian Shouxin and Zhang exchanged a strange look.
Both of them knew why, but couldn't say. Of course, they didn't know that Zhao Xiu'e's incident was already known to Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er.
A thought in Lian Man'er's mind became clearer. If there was no incident with Zhao Xiu'e, then there would be only one reason why Zhou Zhutou and them came back at this time. The oil and water over there in Taicang will be dangerous if it continues to be scraped.
"Maybe something happened in Taicang," I can't say the real reason, and even Shouxin said vaguely, "Zhou Zhutou's group, the old fritters who have been working in the yamen for a long time, don't look right, so they won't do it there." ”
"What can it be, why don't we know? Zhou Zhutou is afraid, but my eldest uncle and second uncle are not afraid? Lian Man'er was very "eyeless" to get to the bottom of it.
Even Shouxin and Zhang are a little embarrassed.
“…… What are they afraid of, don't they just rely on the old Zheng family......" Zhang Shi said vaguely, "Man'er, don't talk patronizingly, aren't you Zhang Luo eating fish, why is this fish made by my mother not delicious?" ”
Obviously, this is the meaning of diverting the topic and not letting Lian Man'er continue to ask.
"It's delicious." Lian Man'er smiled, lowered her head to pick up rice and eat fish...... Entering August, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the heat in the air has long been gone, and the occasional wind blows, the coolness is already obvious. There is still some time before the harvest of crops, and for ordinary croppers, this is the last relatively quiet time before the autumn harvest.
However, Lian Man'er's family had already entered the autumn harvest state in advance at this time.
The lotus seeds, chicken head rice, and water chestnut in the lotus pond have matured, and the last stubble must be picked clean, and the lotus root under the lotus pond has also reached the season of harvesting.
As soon as the new lotus root was dug up, people who ordered it came one after another. Among them, there are shopkeepers of major restaurants, as well as stewards of wealthy families and gentry's families, as well as traders who have made profits by reselling lotus pods and fresh water chestnuts.
Lian Man'er only asked people to dig up a part of the lotus root, so he refused to dig it anymore.
"At this time, there is no shortage of melons and vegetables, and our lotus root should be eaten fresh. Let's sell some of them first, and leave the rest in the pond first, and dig them out before they freeze. At that time, there were no fresh melons and vegetables, and the price of our lotus root could be sold better. Moreover, if you dig it up at that time, you can store it for a little longer. Lian Man'er told her intentions.
There was no objection from the family.
"Sister, how much does our lotus root cost a pound?" Xiao Qi asked.
Regarding the price of lotus root, when selling lotus seeds, chicken head rice and water chestnut, Lian Man'er thought about it, and also consulted Wu Yugui and Wu Jiaxing, father and son, as well as the town's Wu shopkeeper.
"For the time being, let's set twenty dollars a pound." Lian Man'er flicked the abacus beads and said.
When it comes to winter, according to the sales of fresh lotus root, this unit price can be added a few pennies.
"In terms of the number of orders in the past two days, the lotus roots we dug are not enough to sell. I'm really a little worried about who this is sold to and who it doesn't sell to. "Even keep your word.
"Buying lotus root to eat at home is the priority, and those who resell it are secondary." Even Man'er didn't want to say authentically, "The priority is to pay the fixed money with us first." …… Control the quantity and try to hand over as many buyers as possible. ”
"Okay." Even Shouxin nodded.
Lian Shouxin is busy working in the lotus pond with the long-term workers these days, and he has to receive batches of people who come to buy lotus roots, and occasionally take care of Lian Ji, and his busy feet hit the back of his head, which is very hard.
"Mother, my father has been tired these days, let's add food to my father at night." Lian Man'er took the abacus and account book, and said to Zhang with a smile.
"Okay, kid dad, what do you want to eat?" Zhang asked Lian to keep his promises.
"You can eat anything, I didn't pick it." Even keep the word.
"Then let's do it," Lian Man'er began to lay out, "Let's go to the town to buy two catties of good pork ribs in a while, and we haven't eaten the lotus root at home, so we will eat pork ribs and stewed lotus root at night." ”
"Okay." Xiao Qi's two big eyes finished the crescent with a smile.
"Okay." Lian Shouxin saw that the little girl proposed, and the youngest son loved to eat, so he naturally nodded.
"I think the shrimp in our fish pond are about the same length, so let's just catch a plate at night. Mother, can you do the boiled shrimp I told you that day? ”
"Yes." Zhang nodded, "It's not difficult to listen to what you said that day." It's just that when you do it later, you tell your mother the recipe again. …… Why don't we wait for your brother to come back? ”
"That's fine." Lian Man'er said, "Let's try it first, there are many shrimps in the pond, and when my brother comes back, let's change more tricks to eat." ”
While he was talking, he heard the sound of firecrackers outside...... Send a change first, and ask for your pink support. There will be two watches in the evening. rq!!!
