The rooster crows and wants to dawn. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Jiang Qiao put on a coat and quietly touched the kang, didn't dare to light the lamp, hastily put on his shoes, and went out lightly.
There was a vigilant earth dog on the side of the road to watch his movements, and knew that it was the son of the Lao Jiang family, so he turned his head and continued to nest back in the kennel.
Jiang Qiao drove the mule and walked slowly out of the village on the mountain road.
The morning of Layue was very cool, Jiang Qiao shrunk his arms and couldn't help sneezing.
"It's been two months since I came into this world." He muttered to himself, whipping the mule on the back again.
In his previous life, except for drunkenness and intrigues, there is nothing to recall, and if you want to say regret, even if you die, there is no one who really cares about him.
However, this is something that cannot be forced. Jiang Qiao laughed at himself, letting himself forget the bitterness of being betrayed by his brother and lover at the same time.
The current Jiang Qiao is the second son of Mrs. Jiang in Qinghe Village, an honest man.
Mrs. Jiang has been a craftsman all her life, relying on the wood on the mountain to make furniture and farm tools for the villagers, and after a few years, she has savings, so she married a daughter-in-law, and this daughter-in-law is Mrs. Jiang. Mrs. Jiang was also angry, and in the next year, she added two big fat boys to the old Jiang family.
Because it is the wood on the mountain to live, the old lady makes a decision, and the boss is the eldest Jiangshan, and the second Jiangmu!
The old Xiucai at the head of the village said that these two names are not good, one is too fierce, and his life can't be suppressed; One has a bad meaning, and I am afraid of becoming a fool.
Mrs. Jiang was afraid, but she couldn't resist the man in charge, so she could only give up.
The child grew up suddenly, although there were constant minor illnesses and disasters, and the second son was still a little lacking in heart, but they were all at the age of saying goodbye.
The second son is not easy to get, so Mrs. Jiang first told the eldest son about his relatives, who knew that the daughter-in-law was just pregnant, and the eldest son accidentally fell off the mountain, and he didn't go for a month!
Lao Xiucai died a long time ago, but Mrs. Jiang had always remembered the name in her heart, and this time she blew up the pot directly, crying and grabbing the ground, complaining that her husband did not listen to persuasion, and the eldest son died early. The old lady also muttered in her heart, she developed a heart disease over and over again, and took a lot of medicine intermittently, but the result was that her grandson died just after he was born. Before I went, I couldn't forget the name, and finally changed the name of the second child to Jiang Qiao.
The Jiang family's family background is not thin in Qinghe Village, but they can't bear the fact that Jiang Shan and the old lady continue to seek medical advice and medicine, and then go to renovate the house and marry a daughter-in-law, and they can't even support their children. The eldest daughter-in-law was young and couldn't keep the widowhood, and then looked at the bleak situation of her husband's family, and listened to the persuasion of her mother's family, and the child remarried as soon as the moon was over.
is lively and lively, and in the end, there is an orphaned mother left, plus a Jiang Qiao who has a bad brain.
This fool is also filial, and works hard every day to support his mother and nephew.
As a result, who said that fools must be blessed with fools?
People think he is stupid, but he has a stupid strength, and they just want to use him as a mule, and only give him less than half of his salary.
Jiang Mu is really stupid, people are grateful for their work, how do you know that you will give more and less? Mrs. Jiang couldn't stand the death of her wife and son, she had been sick for a long time, and she didn't have the energy to ask him, and in the end, the people who had a relationship with the Jiang family couldn't see it, and told him to tell it, and the big fool knew that he had been deceived.
This fool is stupid, but he is not cowardly, and immediately went to seek justice, but was ridiculed and humiliated by the crowd, and he was drenched in a heavy rain, and he fell ill the next day.
I was sick when I was sick, but I heard that the best-looking Cui Ya in the village was getting better with others, and she was sad and angry for a while, but she cheapened Jiang Qiao.
Reborn in ancient times, he became such a fool again, Jiang Qiao didn't have any ideas, he was tired, and he didn't expect to do anything great in this other world, Qinghe Village was poor, and it was barely beautiful, so it should be regarded as early retirement.
In his previous life, he was an orphan who rose and fell in the business sea, and the Hongyan brothers were all fake, although there were two more burdens in this life, but they did have blood ties, and in the final analysis, they still earned.
Jiang Qiao didn't say anything, when he opened his first eyes and saw Mrs. Jiang wiping his tears on the bedside, he regarded her as his own mother in his heart.
He is Jiang Qiao, and he is also Jiang Mu, and that is his family.
Jiang Qiao's memories were interrupted by the lively shouting in the market, and he looked at the bustling crowd of people coming and going.
After walking four miles on the third watch, he felt very hungry and smelled the wheat fragrance of the pancakes, but he could only endure it. After finding a place to tie the mule, Jiang Qiao began to move things from the mule cart, and in a few moments set up his meat stall.
It was the boar that he had worked hard to dig a trap for a few days to catch, and he left half a fan for the old and young in the family to replenish their bodies for the New Year, and the rest was taken out and sold.
How can this pig also have two hundred catties, half a fan is one hundred catties, according to ten cents a catty, at least one or two silver into the account, can buy some medicinal materials for the old lady.
Fortunately, the New Year is approaching, and the wealthy people are vigorously preparing for the New Year, and Jiangqiao's pork is indeed in good condition, plus the price is fair, and customers will soon come to the door.
Jiang Qiao's ability to look at the scales is already proficient, and his strength is also big enough, and the two phases say that it is good to catty two, which is basically the kung fu of chopping a knife.
There was an endless stream of guests, and Jiang Qiao was busy until noon, and finally there was only less than a pound of meat left.
It has always been difficult to sell, so he wiped his sweat and gasped, thinking that he could close the stall.
"This little brother." A Taoist in Tsing Yi beckoned to Jiang Qiao, and when Jiang Qiao looked over, this Taoist person came to him in an instant.
"Dao Chief." Jiang Qiao's heart jumped, and he immediately brought out the wooden appearance of an honest man, smiled at the man, and greeted him respectfully.
"For a penny, let's give this meat to Lao Dao." The man stroked his white goatee, his face was friendly, and his words meant to discuss, but his expression seemed to be sure that Jiang Qiao would agree.
Jiang Qiao did agree.
His own experience is inherently very anti-science, and he is inevitably afraid of ghosts and gods that are also anti-science. Although this old Taoist elder didn't look like a wicked person, he didn't want to entangle with him more.
"Thank you very much." The man took the wrapped cheek meat, took out a yellow copper coin from his sleeve and put it in Jiang Qiao's hand, and went away lightly.
Jiang Qiao frowned, stared at the direction where the Taoist disappeared for a long time, until his stomach rumbled and screamed again, and then he lowered his head and cleaned up the meat stall.
Whatever!
Jiang Qiao squatted down along the wall and slowly counted the pile of heavy copper coins. plus one of that Dao Ye, it's a whole thousand Wen.
That's one or two.
In Jiang Mu's memory, even when his eldest brother was there, after removing expenses, the whole family saved only more than three taels a year. So after raising a son for more than ten years, marrying a daughter-in-law ruined the family, and he couldn't even afford to take medicine. In this way, their family was originally one of the best families in Qinghe Village.
In the final analysis, Qinghe Village is too poor.
After counting the five hundred copper coins and carefully stringing them with red ropes and putting them in his arms, Jiang Qiao felt that his eyes were black when he got up. So hungry!
Looking at the pancake stall across the street hesitating, Jiang Qiao finally decided to buy a piece, picked out the copper plate of Lao Dao alone, and walked towards the pancake stall, but he didn't know where three fat and strong horses suddenly appeared.
The man on the horse went on a rampage all the way, knocking over the vendor's stall and didn't care, seeing that a little doll who was separated from his family was about to be injured under the hoof, Jiang Qiao made a pounce, holding the child and rolling on the ground, and the horseshoe was dangerously brushed against his face, so he finally escaped a catastrophe.
The team didn't give Jiang Qiao a look, and disappeared like a gust of wind, knocking over a few stalls along the way, causing a lot of complaints and curses.
The child was picked up by his family, but Jiang Qiao didn't even hear a word of thanks, he had to shake his head and smile bitterly at the scratched palm.
The pancakes still have to be eaten. Putting the little episode behind him, he clutched the extraordinarily yellow copper coin, determined to spend it.
