Chapter 209: Gratitude
I cooked sticky rice porridge in the kitchen, and boiled two eggs, I slept too peacefully yesterday, and even I got up a little late today, if I was stir-frying, I wouldn't have much time, thinking that Li Qinglin was growing up again, Jiang Cheng'er couldn't help but feel a little sorry.
"We forgot to help Aunt Song yesterday, and we have to hurry over today anyway, so we won't stir-fry." Jiang Cheng'er opened her mouth and said, the two eggs were very easy to cook, and even the bowl of rice porridge quickly exuded a fragrant smell.
Li Qinglin himself has been sitting on the days of hunger since he was a child, and now he is only two dishes less than before, and he is not the kind of person who is very precious, now he can naturally bear it, and he waved his hand to Jiang Cheng'er's little apology, but he didn't take it seriously: "Then let's eat quickly, so as not to wait for the aunts." ”
The sun has been fine for the past two days, but I can't guarantee when the rain will fall, and I have to finish everything I need to do earlier.
Nodding, Jiang Cheng'er walked out quickly, holding a sickle in his hand, the village chief was also there today, full of energy, occasionally wiping his sweat, seeing Jiang Cheng'er and Li Qinglin coming, he immediately greeted with a smile: "Qinglinwa and Jiang Cheng'er are here?" ”
Although there are a lot of people in this village who have wheat fields, they don't dare to call the village chief for help, so today the village chief was able to have some time to come over and take care of the things in his field, and now he is a little grateful to see Jiang Cheng'er and Li Qinglin.
was a little embarrassed to be looked at by the village chief's eyes, Li Qinglin twisted his face, and immediately started working, Jiang Cheng'er was also a little crying and laughing, the village chief and Aunt Song had helped them a lot in the village before, and what they did today was nothing more than some small things in their part, and they were worthy of such gratitude from the two of them.
The pond was not too far from the village chief's house, and Jiang Cheng'er could see that it was a green place, but suddenly it withered, and the lotus leaves were nowhere to be seen.
The village chief also noticed Jiang Cheng'er's eyes, and sighed helplessly, the work in his hand was unambiguous: "Yesterday, the fat aunt said that these things were of great use, so she took them away, and the villagers in this village were naturally unwilling, so there were more people who took them, but now there is nothing left." ”
Such a powerful action force made Jiang Cheng'er also dumbfounded, and it seemed that she had underestimated them.
"You didn't stop it?" asked tentatively, Jiang Cheng'er also knew in her heart that if she knew a way to make money, they would not deal with anyone who stopped them no matter what.
The village chief sighed: "It's just a few leaves, it's not worth hurting the harmony between neighbors for such a trivial matter." ”
It's not that there are no lotus leaves in the distance, not to mention that it's useless for them to ask for lotus leaves, so it's better to be a favor and let the fat aunt divide it up.
Nodding, Jiang Cheng'er was silent, Aunt Song should have gone back to rest for a while, and walked over with a food box, only to see her own man working in the field, and didn't notice Jiang Cheng'er and Li Qinglin walking in for a while, only to see the mouth constantly complaining: "If you tell me in advance, there will be a bowl of egg tea for the two of them!" ”
"Aunt Song, we came here after eating, you can rest assured, the sooner we finish the affairs in this field, we can also rest assured as soon as possible." Shook her head helplessly, Jiang Cheng'er didn't know how to accept Aunt Song's kindness, so she could only explain, Li Qinglin had been bowing his head sullenly on the side, but his eyes were looking at other places from time to time.
Lin Xiaohua also came over quickly, compared to yesterday's shyness, today she still said hello to Jiang Cheng'er and Li Qinglin first, and after saying just one word, her face was dyed a little red, and she immediately lowered her head and went to do things.
After all, there was still a man who came to make it easier, and they only harvested half of these acres of land in two days, and now that the village chief is here, it only takes one day to collect all the wheat.
Today's Jiang Cheng'er also continues to go to Grandma Xiu for acupuncture.
After the acupuncture was finished, her body was comfortable today, so Jiang Cheng'er deliberately stayed here and carefully massaged Grandma Xiu: "Grandma, what do you think of your legs?" How do you feel uncomfortable now? ”
Rubbing her legs, Grandma Xiu slowly stood up and took two steps forward, compared to the previous feeling that something seemed to be dragging her down, it was naturally a lot easier now, and this leg was also very different from when she was before.
"You girl is a poor person, you should be a pearl baby in the palm of your hand, but now you are being treated like this." Seeing that her legs were much better, Grandma Xiu took Jiang Cheng'er's hand and said softly, with a little pity between her words, and even a little worry.
Even if she doesn't deliberately listen to the things in the village, she can know a lot, but the rumors about Jiang Cheng'er are spreading more and more widely, and many people say that Jiang Cheng'er was given by a man outside......
Although Grandma Xiu didn't believe it, she was also worried about Jiang Cheng'er, not to mention that the fat aunt also picked all the lotus leaves today, obviously wanting to cut off Jiang Cheng'er's financial route.
Carefully took out a cloth bag from his carry-on cloth bag, and Grandma Xiu handed over the ten cents hidden inside: "You take this money to Qinglin to buy some meat to eat, now Qinglin is still young, and he needs to grow up." ”
Jiang Cheng'er deserves the money sent by Grandma Xiu, and now their life is quite passable, there is really no need to accept the silver of Grandma Xiu, a lonely old man, and immediately pushed the cloth bag back into Grandma Xiu's arms, Jiang Cheng'er shook her head: "Grandma, if you really regard me as your granddaughter, then you believe that I am just some living money, and I am not lacking, not to mention, I have other ways to get money." ”
The silver that was sold for six taels last time is still hidden in the jar at home, if it is money...... Jiang Cheng'er is really not lacking.
Suddenly, a thought crossed in my heart, now I am not short of money in my hands, it is better to think of the idea of knocking down the house earlier, and rebuilding it, these dozens of taels of silver, I can always let myself have a good expense, and when the time comes, I will build a house and invite Grandma Xiu to live in it, and it is convenient to take care of it.
What's more, this busy farming time has just passed, everyone will have some leisure, give them ten cents a day, and think that this house will be built in a few days, right?
"Grandma Xiu, just take the money, my sister and I are not short of food and drink, but you ......" Li Qinglin also persuaded on the side when he saw this.
The two sides excused themselves, Grandma Xiu always wanted to hand the money in her hand to Jiang Cheng'er, and even deliberately put on a straight face, it did seem to have a little majesty, but even so, the money could not be collected by herself, Jiang Cheng'er also pushed it several times, and she was a little helpless because of the old lady's perseverance.
"Grandma, look," in desperation, Jiang Cheng'er took out the small bag he was carrying, which also contained three or five yuan, just thinking that if he saw something interesting in this village, he could buy it back: "Qinglin and I live very well, you have to take good care of yourself, and now we both have our own ways to earn money." ”
After sitting here and chatting with the old lady for a few more words, Jiang Cheng'er and Li Qinglin were able to leave, this is Grandma Xiu has always been very relieved that Jiang Cheng'er and Li Qinglin, as if the two of them are really children who can't survive.
"When this period of time is over, we will consider building this house, lest it will be colder in a few days, and we won't even have a place to hide from the cold." Jiang Cheng'er looked at Li Qinglin and told him what he was thinking about, no matter what, Li Qinglin and himself lived in this house together, and each other was the master of this family, and he always had to tell him what he had planned.
This house was repaired by himself and Jiang Cheng'er some time ago, and now if it is all rebuilt, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult, even if Jiang Cheng'er has a lot of silver in his hands, but ...... But when Jiang Cheng'er gets married in the future, she also needs to marry, and she can't get any money in her hands.
Pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak, the two of them were silent all the way home, Jiang Cheng'er didn't know which words she said that made this little cub unhappy again, and looked at him: "Don't you want to rebuild this house?" ”
If she goes to the town to buy one, I'm afraid that the money in her hand will not be enough at all, not to mention that it is also convenient to go into the mountains to collect medicine by herself in the village, and now Jiang Cheng'er doesn't know what she can do when she arrives in the town?
"Our house is pretty good now, I don't think there's any need to build it anymore, not to mention that this is something you and I built little by little." Looking at the somewhat leaky grass house, Li Qinglin said lightly, with a bit of satisfaction in his expression, now that he can live such a life, he is already very happy, and he doesn't have to let Jiang Cheng'er bear any responsibility or make her too tired.
immediately understood what this stinky boy meant, Jiang Cheng'er raised his hand and unceremoniously rewarded him with a brain: "What are you thinking about?" Now this broken grass hut lives in and sometimes even leaks wind and rain, but I am afraid that when the time comes, I will be weak and sick, and when the time comes, a broken straw mat will be rolled and thrown into the mass grave! ”
