As soon as Qiu entered the courtyard, he said in a loud voice: "Qiaoqiao, I heard that you bought land?" ”

In the village, such a thing cannot be hidden.

Ai Qiaoqiao simply admitted it directly.

"It's only five acres of land, plant some radishes and cabbage and the like, and we can have vegetables to eat in winter." Ai Qiaoqiao said.

Qiu Shi looked at the sweet potatoes piled up in the yard, and his eyes rolled, "What are you doing, tsk, they all sprout and can't be eaten." ”

"You can eat it even if you go to the buds, it's cheap, otherwise what will we eat." Ai Qiaoqiao perfunctory Qiu.

Grinding sweet potatoes with vegetable planers is a physical job, and listening to the wind and rain is a child, and it is impossible to exert any effort at all.

Zhang Wu has strength, and he sweats on his head after working for most of the day.

Qiu wandered around the courtyard for a while, and when she saw that no one was taking care of her, she left first.

"Looks like she's going to your grandmother to complain." Zhang Wu said uneasily.

"What are you afraid of, my mother and I have separated each other, and no one wants to deny the testimony given by the officials and the people in the village." The land purchased after the separation of the family belongs only to them and has nothing to do with their own family.

Ai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Wu worked all afternoon, soaking the ground sweet potato residue in water, and constantly rubbing the sweet potato residue in the water with their hands.

Listening to the wind and rain, he also wanted to help, but was driven away by Ai Qiaoqiao.

Looking at Ai Qiaoqiao's blistered red and swollen hands, the two children also knew that Ai Qiaoqiao felt sorry for them.

"You can help dry these sweet potato dregs, and I'll make hash browns for you to eat in the evening." Ai Qiaoqiao said.

"Can you still eat this thing?" The two children were surprised.

"Yes, add salt and chopped green onions, fry it, it's fragrant."

Hearing that there was something delicious, the two little boys came to their senses, and quickly dried up the sweet potato residue and filled a large pot.

Ai Qiaoqiao took a piece of gauze, filtered the soup soaked in the sweet potato residue, and then put it in the courtyard to rest, waiting for the contents of the water to settle down slowly.

Ai Qiaoqiao took advantage of this free time to go to the kitchen to make hash browns.

In the evening, all the seven hunters who helped to farm the land came to her place for dinner.

The fried golden potato cake on both sides is sweet and silky, and the skin is crispy in the mouth, but the inside is soft and glutinous.

The Lan family also came out to help Zhang Luo, and Ai Qiaoqiao took a potato cake alone and sent it to the East House.

There are many people in the courtyard, and it is also very lively.

Ye Liyan looked at Ai Qiaoqiao's red and swollen hands, and frowned slightly.

The burn on the back of her hand hadn't healed last time, and today it was blistered again, and the whole skin was broken.

Ai Qiaoqiao noticed that the other party was staring at her hand, so she quietly hid her hand behind her.

"Did you use the burn medicine I gave you last time?" The night is gone.

Ai Qiaoqiao laughed dryly twice, "No." ”

Ye Liyan looked at her helplessly, "Giving you medicine is for you to use, and if you put it away, it won't make you rich." ”

"For a small injury, you don't need such expensive medicine." Ai Qiaoqiao explained, "You can try my fried hash browns. ”

Ye Liyan took a small bite of the hash brown, and felt that it was quite smooth.

Ai Qiaoqiao served him another bowl of soup.

Ye Liyan stretched out his right hand to pick it up, but Ai Qiaoqiao didn't let go of the bowl.

She didn't know much about his situation before, but now she was paying attention everywhere, for fear that one of them would accidentally knock over the hot soup.

Ye Liyan withdrew her hand and calmly watched her put the bowl in front of her.

"Tomorrow they will come to help with the farming, and if you don't feel noisy, you can go outside during the day." Ai Qiaoqiao was afraid that he would be annoyed.

"How many days will it take to plant those fields?" The night is gone.

"In a few days, tomorrow will be about the same." There is very little land, and there are many people who do the work, so it will soon be able to finish planting.

Ye Liyan stopped talking, bowed his head and ate silently.

Hearing the rain suddenly stretched his head in, looked at Ai Qiaoqiao and stopped talking.

"What's the matter?" Nightshade knew that if it was okay, his boy wouldn't come in and disturb him.

"Qiaoqiao's uncle is here, saying that he wants to invite Qiaoqiao girl to dinner."

Ai Qiaoqiao was stunned at the same time as Ye Li.

Invite her to Lao Ai's house for dinner? She heard her right!

When did Ma become so generous.

Ye Liyan glanced at Ai Qiaoqiao, "You go, if you don't come back later, I'll pick you up." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao secretly stuck out her tongue.

I didn't expect him to really pick her up.

Ai Tiancheng was waiting in the courtyard, talking to a few hunters, and when he saw Ai Qiaoqiao come out, his expression was a little uncomfortable.

"It's your grandmother who asked me to take you home, dinner is ready, let you go back to eat."

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled, "Did my grandmother really tell me to go back to dinner?" ”

Ai Tiancheng drooped his head, "Hmm." ”

"Uncle, I'm afraid my grandmother asked me to go back for another reason, right?"

"Your grandmother didn't say anything, she just said that she wanted me to come and find you back." Ai Tian told the truth.

Ai Qiaoqiao found a food box, filled some potato cakes, and followed Ai Tiancheng to the old Ai's compound.

"Master, the hash browns I fried are still hot, you can taste them." Entering the house, Ai Qiaoqiao was in a hurry to offer treasures.

Ai Mingshan tasted the potato cake with a smile and nodded again and again.

Ai Qiaohua sat aside and glanced at Ai Qiaoqiao disdainfully, and muttered in a low voice, "It's all scraps, and I'm embarrassed to take it out." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao pretended not to hear it, took the hash browns and let Ma taste them.

Ma Shi took the hash browns but didn't put them in his mouth, "Qiaoqiao, I heard that you bought land?" ”

It seems that this is the real intention of Ma's calling her to "dinner".

"Well, I bought five acres of land and planted some radishes and cabbage." Ai Qiaoqiao didn't hide it, and directly told Ai Mingshan about it, including how to find the tooth and how to sign the title deed.

"How could the skillful mustard recipe be sold for such a small amount of money, five acres of land...... Tsk, how did I hear that the people you invited planted more than five acres of land. ”

"The other five acres of land belong to Zhang Wu's family."

"Zhang Wu's family also bought land?" Ma Shi said in disbelief, "Their family owes usury, how can they have spare money to buy land." ”

Ma Shi looked Ai Qiaoqiao up and down, "Did you help Zhang Wu and their family?" ”

"It's not helping, we're just cooperating and doing some small business."

"Small business? Can the Zhang family pay off the loan shark and pay off the small business? Qiu Shi said dissatisfiedly, "The second brother said that the mustard recipe is worth dozens of taels of silver, Qiaoqiao, you tell the truth, did you give the money to Zhang Wu and their family." ”

"We cooperated with each other, and naturally we earned money and asked everyone to share it." Ai Qiaoqiao looked at Ai Mingshan, "Master, do you say that's the reason?" ”

Ai Mingshan said "um".

Ai Qiaoqiao smiled and sat down next to Old Man Ai.

Ma's face was even more ugly.

"Qiaoqiao is too young, and he has land in his hands, which is always not safe." Qiu said, "It's better to let your uncle take care of it for you." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao looked up at Ai Tiancheng.

Ai Tiancheng looked dazed, he didn't seem to expect his daughter-in-law to say this, "This, this is not good......

"What's wrong, you are an uncle, Qiao Qiaoniang is mentally incomplete, and if you stay in their hands, you may be deceived one day, or you should keep it."

Ai Tiancheng frowned and said nothing.

Ma Shi said, "You don't need Tiancheng to take care of it, just put the title deed on me, and you will send Qiaoqiao back later, just bring the title deed back by the way." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao was almost angry.

These people really take themselves seriously, and she hasn't agreed to anything, so they want to hold her things in their hands.
