Chapter 153: Let the horse come
There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and a woman with two children must be spicy if she wants to gain a foothold, but sometimes it is not enough to be spicy, there is no man, there is no backer, and she is bound to be bullied.
In addition, opening a shop should pay attention to harmony and make money, so many times Widow Qin gives people the appearance of meekness and kindness, the poor only have life, and they are only enough to fight once, unless they have to, she will not tear her face.
But today's Qin widow is obviously different from before, and she seems to rely on her body more, although she didn't say it explicitly, but Li Qingyou can feel it.
suddenly remembered the words that people had discussed before, "The second girl of the Qin family is not doing it properly. "I've climbed the high branches, and I can't look down on the Zhang family."
In this way, it makes sense, after all, Qin Xiu likes Zhang Tieniu, and insists on marrying even though he knows that Zhang Tieniu does not have her in his heart, and now he suddenly regrets marrying can only have a better choice.
It's not that she's loyal enough, it's just that the weight of betrayal isn't big enough, and now it seems that she has found enough weight.
Of course, these are just rumors in the market, and Li Qingyou is not interested, but ......
"If you have the ability, let the horse come, I will be waiting for you at any time." Li Qingyou put down the last sentence and led the donkey to separate the crowd and go home.
Xiaoshan Niang heard that Li Qingyou was back, and she was standing at the gate looking out, and saw her coming from a distance, and hurriedly took a few steps to greet her, "Hey, why have I been walking these days, I don't have anything in my heart, I'm afraid that something will happen again...... Phew, what kind of nonsense am I talking about, nothing happened. ”
Li Qingyou laughed out loud and followed Xiao Shanniang into the courtyard.
"Brother?" Xiao Shanniang looked behind and didn't see Brother.
Li Qing hurriedly said that he had fun.
"This kid is not honest at all, and he doesn't know who he is with." As she spoke, Xiao Shanniang took the reins and helped Li Qingyou unload the donkey.
The yard was cleaned up, and the chickens and pigs seemed to be fatter than Li Qingyou, and when he saw someone coming, he fluttered.
Xiaoshan Niang followed Li Qingyou into the house, "Tell me, I don't know if you'll come back, I'm hungry, I'll cook." ”
Li Qingyou was indeed hungry, not only hungry but also thirsty, so he picked up the teapot and drank a big bowl to relieve it.
"Don't be busy, let's eat together in the evening." Li Qingyou pulled the little mountain lady who went to the stove, "I also brought a lot of snacks back, so let's pad my stomach first." ”
As he spoke, he took out two packs of snacks, one of which was opened to eat, and the other was pushed to Xiao Shanniang with muslin, "These are for you and Xiao Shan, and there are no good things, go back and make two clothes to wear." ”
Xiao Shanniang said in her mouth why she was so foreign, holding the muslin in her hand and reluctant to put it down, while babbling about what had happened in recent days.
"The total number of tofu sold five times, and Xiaoshan was able to grind it when he was there, but in the past few days, Zhang Yuanwai asked him to work, and he didn't sell it." Xiaoshan Niang said and took out a bunch of silver coins, "These are earned by selling tofu, and the second aunt Sun next door has come a few times, she didn't buy it with silver money, she exchanged it for beans......"
When she said this, Xiaoshan Niang was still a little embarrassed, thinking that she was selling less, but Li Qingyou made tofu and sold it every day when she was at home.
Li Qingyou was very embarrassed, the donkey was not at home, so he could only grind by people, and the stone grinding of dozens of catties was not a joke.
"You take the money back, these days you have been helping me take care of the house, you have left your own home ......"
Before Li Qingyou's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Xiaoshan Niang, "That's not possible, besides, I don't patronize you, so I came over to take care of it in the morning and evening, and the work at home was not delayed." ”
Li Qingyou wanted to say something more, but Xiao Shanniang deliberately said with a tiger face: "You are not happy to be such an aunt again, isn't this treating me as an outsider?" ”
"Okay, then I won't talk about it." Li Qingyou put away all the money.
Zhao Xiaoshan's family is in difficulty, although Zhao Xiaoshan can occasionally earn some silver money now, but the mother and son are still stretched thin, and they can barely make a fool of themselves.
Li Qingyou thought that the matter of the racecourse was about to be prepared, and when the time came, he could let the two of them go to help with some work, but he didn't say this for the time being.
She still has to make a good calculation with Shen Sangongzi about the horse farm, the specific venue, the foal and many other things need to be discussed, this will be a bit early to say this, it is better to wait until it is settled.
The two chatted for a while, and Xiaoshan Niang saw the tiredness on Li Qingyou's face, and asked her to sleep first, "I just happened to go home and take a look, and I'll come back later." ”
Li Qingyou is indeed tired, he has been outside for more than ten days, although the food and accommodation are arranged very well, and he does not need to spend his own money, but he is not at home after all.
I didn't think that I would relax when I got home, and the fatigue of the journey was all revealed, and I fell asleep on the kang after sending the little mountain girl away.
I slept until it was almost dark before I woke up, or because I heard the sound of talking, I lifted the quilt and got off the kang, only to know that it was my brother who came back, and Zhao Xiaoshan was with him, and Xiaoshan Niang, who was busy cooking in the stove.
"Woke you up." Zhao Xiaoshan scratched his head a little embarrassed.
Li Qing hurriedly said that it was okay.
Xiaoshan Niang just greeted Zhao Xiaoshan to serve the food, turned her head to see Li Qingyou, and said: "I just woke up, hurry up and wash my face, eat in good spirits, and sleep when I am full." ”
Zhao Xiaoshan and Ah Di went into the stove to help bring out the food, and Li Qingyou also washed his face with a basin of water, and finally sobered up completely.
Dinner was quite hearty, crispy eggplant box, bean and potato stew, stir-fried soybean sprouts, mapo tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried peanuts, and a melon slice soup, the staple food was baked white flour cake.
The meat was specially bought by Xiaoshan Niang, and the vegetables were picked in the Zhao family's yard.
In the past, when the old couple of the Li family were alive, the yard was also full of vegetables, Li Qingyou did not grow well, so that the vegetables in the yard were messy, and the chickens in the chicken nest ran out from time to time, and the vegetable garden was a mess, and the little mountain lady who saw it was distressed.
"I won't be in a hurry this year, and when I wait for the next year, I will help you take care of this garden, and you won't eat vegetables every day." It's a pity that Xiaoshan Niang can't mention this, "And that chicken coop, Xiaoshan, when you have the time to clean up the chicken coop well, this garden is all over the disaster." ”
Zhao Xiaoshan responded, "Ming'er and I will come to fix it, I will take a look two days ago, and the piece of the chicken coop door is a little loose, just find two pieces of wood and nail it." ”
After eating, it was already completely dark, Zhao Xiaoshan's mother and son stayed for a while and went back, Li Qingyou and Ah Di took a bath and lay on the kang.
Xu slept a lot in the afternoon, Li Qingyou was not sleepy, and he was thinking about the horse farm in his mind, when Ah Di suddenly asked, "Are we going to do business with the Wei family?" ”
