Chapter 17: Yan Lichang
Mama Liu just withdrew her tears, couldn't help crying again, complained that her husband didn't say it just now, and hurriedly returned to the inner courtyard to explain the situation to Qing Niang.
"Needless to say, Mama will pay back Uncle Liu's money first, Shuxiang will help cook, eat, let the leaves come in and wash, and sleep with Moxiang and them at night." There are only two small rooms outside, and Qing Niang doesn't plan to let Ye Zi go out to live.
This little girl is as old as her, and it was when she was born that Mama became her own nurse.
After they left, Mo Xiang also sighed,
"When we were in the house before, Mama was never willing to use the money, so she took it back, but her mother-in-law was not satisfied at all, Xiao Ye was thin, and there was no meat on her body!"
There were a lot of people who came in just now, but she didn't pay attention, but she remembered that the eldest son's eyes were very bright, and he looked at his mother very eagerly.
"Thanks to Komatsu thinking about his mother, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to get out." Mo Xiang found some clothes and came out, planning to give them to Yezi, but the size was too big, so he took it and changed it.
"It's all so old, don't change it, isn't there still cloth in the warehouse? Take it out and make two bodies for each of them, even though it's hot, you have to have a change of washing. ”
"It's okay, we're wearing these small, the cloth is fine, and we're making new clothes, and Mama is not at ease. Uncle Liu, let's make a new one, it just so happens that there is still a horse in linen. ”
Qing Niang thought about it, they were very careful, and they could think of these details.
"Do you still have an impression of home?" She asked, looking at Mo Xiang.
"The slave was only five years old when she entered the house, I only remember that I have a younger brother, it seems that there is an elder sister, my mother is very fierce, I don't like me very much, I can't remember anything else, what do I remember if I can sell it?" Needless to say, the book should be the same.
Qing Niang couldn't help it, stretched out her hand, and touched Mo Xiang's head, which startled both of them, and she shrank back a little embarrassed.
"I just hope that the girl will not get tired of me in the future, and keep me and the scholar."
"Well, we're not separated." I can't give too many other promises, but I can keep them in charge.
Liu An's family needs to live here for a long time, and they should go and say hello to their uncle about this. After all, if you live in the village, you should report to the chief. She asked Mo Xiang to prepare snacks, and the two went out of the courtyard, and when they were about to leave the gate, they called Xiaozhu again.
She doesn't dare to be careless anymore, beware of mad dogs biting people, according to Xiaozhu, since Li Baocai's brother came, Su San's face has become more and more gloomy day by day, and he often stands on the ground, not knowing what to think?
When the second uncle heard that it was Mama Liu's family, he didn't say much, but just asked his grandson to invite the lieutenant to come over, saying that it was best to say it in person, after all, they were not from Bofu, and they didn't live in Bofu.
"Can you live in those rooms? Why don't you find another place in the village? ”
"There are two rooms, I can live in it, I want my grandmother's little daughter to be an errand in the inner courtyard, usually run errands or something, Moxiang and they have a lot of things."
"You are in charge of this matter, Su San has been honest recently, how do I think he is always wandering around the field, when did he worry so much?"
"There is something I want to think about, I still have to tell my uncle, some time ago, someone came to the family to look for him, when Xiaozhu was sweeping the floor, I heard them talking, and the man said that Su San had harmed his younger brother, as if he was here to seek revenge.
But then there was no trouble, I was always unreliable when I heard it, he wouldn't cause trouble to the house, right? ”
"When did this happen? Does Xiaozhu know that person? ”
"That is, three days ago, Xiaozhu didn't know him, but he could hear the three words Li Baocai, some time ago, the person who stole things from Niangniang Temple was also called this name."
"Li Baocai's brother? Xiaozhu, come here! The second uncle's face suddenly became solemn, it seems that this person is not easy to mess with.
After inquiring carefully, when Xiao Zhu described the person's appearance, the second uncle said:
"It's him, that's right, this person has a relationship with all parties, and he is a person who is not easy to mess with, I don't know what Su San did? If you provoke him, I will write to your grandfather, you are a little girl, you can't be affected by him. ”
Qing Niang was overjoyed when she heard this, she didn't expect the second uncle to be so cautious, if she could get rid of this person, she would have nothing to live in the countryside.
As he spoke, the lieutenant hurriedly entered the door, looking to be in his fifties, Qing Niang was still the first time to see her, so she hurriedly stood up and made a half-salute.
"Don't you dare, the eldest lady is sitting, the second master, is there anything wrong with you in a hurry to find me?"
"Lao Yan, you are too polite, you should be courteous to the little baby, there is something to tell you, her grandmother's father-in-law has come to run with her children, and she wants to live in the village for a long time, do you think you have to go through a formality?"
"The person in front of the eldest lady, you don't have to do it, do you live in the Bofu?"
"What else do you say in the Bofu, they are not from the Bofu, so they live outside." The lieutenant groaned slightly,
"In this way, let them come to me to go through the formalities and cross the road. In the future, we are not afraid of what to investigate. ”
What Qing Niang wants is this sentence, in this era, you can't move casually, you have to accept it locally.
After the chief left, Qing Niang talked about Xinmai again, and made it clear that she planned to dry it and put it in the warehouse, wait until the next season's grain was planted, and send some of it back to Bofu to honor her grandparents and others.
"My grandfather also brought some seeds, saying that it is a crop from the north, called Baogu, which has a high yield and is good to eat, and I plan to plant this next season."
"Did you ask clearly? Although the next season is planted with miscellaneous grains, it can also be chewed for half a year, if the new crop species is not successful, your life next year will be difficult. Second Uncle Zu was obviously a little surprised.
"I'd like to give it a try, if it happens, this yield will be more than wheat, and then the income will be a lot more. If it doesn't work, that is, half a year's harvest, grit your teeth, you can still afford to lose! ”
"Is it really that good? Otherwise, give it to me, my family will also plant a few acres, and my grandfather will also let it go. ”
Seeing what he said tragically, Qing Niang smiled and said:
"Okay, you can plant two acres of land, and taste the harvest when you have it."
After finishing the business, Qing Niang said goodbye to leave, the second aunt ran out of the stove room, and insisted on leaving her to eat, but this would be the time when the family was busy, she promised to eat next time, or went out of the door.
"Let's go to the field and have a look, the sickle will be opened tomorrow, but don't let it rain." After Qing Niang said this, she also sighed in her heart, and it was her turn to watch the sky and eat.
The wheat in the field grew very well, and was larger than the ears of the others.
"Miss, you're here," Li Da was also in the field, and when he saw her going, he hurriedly came over to say hello.
"I can collect it tomorrow, did you say yes?"
"It's all said, the big pillar has already been cleaned up, and they will try to take it all back in three days."
"Three days?" Qing Niang was surprised, this is fifty acres of land, how can it be in time for three days?
