Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Goat's Milk Storm Arises
When everything is decided, life goes by like water.
Geng Rong was a little stronger under Cai's deliberate feeding, Qi You was not at home, Zhiping was the most sticky to him, and he seemed to transfer all his emotions to the family.
Chungui thought that he didn't have the silver money in his hand, so he paid half of the monthly money, and gave him two coins of silver, but he didn't expect him to turn around and buy the gadgets for Zhiping who used to set up the stall, and bought a string of small hairpins for Zhimin, who just knew how to comb his freshly braided hair, and bought two catties of pears for a few copper plates, and stewed soup for Chungui, who had a cough recently.
Since the opening of the shop, the county school has a bucket of goat milk taro every day is also sent by Geng Rong after lunch, because the new shop is a little far away from the county school, Guo Caimai is indeed a little affected, and now with Geng Rong's help, his good impression of this family is rising day by day.
Rao is the lady of Lizheng who came later, originally muttered a few words about Chungui's reckless behavior of accepting a child, and after learning about Geng Rong's actions, he also sighed for a long time, and he was also a little distressed, and specially accepted a pair of shoes for him.
Geng Rong was so happy holding his shoes that he refused to wear them lovingly, and went to the bottom of the box by himself.
The clothes that Zhimin had been making there for almost two months were also made.
When Chungui bought the blue silk cloth in the town's cloth village, he returned to Zhimin, and there was a younger sister at home.
But I didn't want this little girl, who was silent on weekdays, to walk to her with a blue coat and a red face.
She was really stunned for a moment.
"Minmin? This is for my sister-in-law? ”
Zhimin smiled and nodded: "To my sister-in-law." ”
Chungui took the clothes and stroked them gently, the good materials were smooth and soft to the touch, so that they were just right when they were not hot or cold.
In the past two months, Cai's and Li Zhicun's affairs were in a hurry, and then they moved, opened a shop, and changed private schools for Zhiping.
She seemed to have forgotten to take care of Minmin, and only now did she know that the child had secretly made clothes for her.
The little girl looked at her with hopeful eyes, Chungui touched her head, nodded and said, "It's beautiful, it's so good!" ”
Mrs. Li Zheng knew that this child had secretly made clothes, and after taking it from Chungui's hand, she took it carefully and smiled: "What do I say, we Minmin don't need to be taught by my aunt at all, we can make the clothes so beautiful by thinking about it, look at how dense the stitches are, my aunt can't do it so well at your age!" ”
Cai's also praised again and again, and only stopped when he praised the little girl so embarrassed.
Chungui took people directly over and hugged them, only to find that the child had also grown a lot taller, and the eleven-year-old girl's family was also soft-spoken when she grew up.
"Sister-in-law, give it a try, and I'll change it if it's older."
Chun Gui: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll change it." ”
It's in the room, it's convenient to change, Cai's help to tidy up the corners of the clothes, Lizheng Niangzi is watching from the side, Zhimin is returning together every day with spring, if you have a heart, this body is the most clear, but the kung fu in the hands at a young age is not bad, and the clothes that came out in the end are just right.
The blue and cyan material is already lined with gentleness, since the family has a good life, the whole person is no longer a thin and weak little body, eighteen or nineteen women, it is the time to take a step to see the eyebrows and eyes, the more the lady is more like.
Seeing that Cai Shi only cared about the corners of her clothes, she stepped forward and straightened her collar by herself, and said intentionally while tidying up:
"What I told you about the family affair last time, did you care about it yourself?"
Chungui's hand that smoothed the folds of his arm paused slightly, and then lowered his eyebrows and chuckled: "How can marriage be so fast." ”
Mrs. Lizheng pretended to be angry and said: "Don't take it seriously, you will be nineteen years old this year, and others have to weigh it when you find relatives." ”
"I don't want others to pick and choose from you."
This girl is so capable, and her younger brothers are so promising, if she is told because of her age, she will have to be angry.
Chungui raised his eyes and looked at her, deliberately diverting the topic: "Auntie, don't rush, know what to do, I just don't marry at home for the rest of my life." ”
Sure enough, Lizheng Niangzi was brought over, and said, "Ouch": "This dead child, when I told him before, I still asked me to give you a family with a thick family background, and I turned my head and asked you not to marry." ”
Chungui smiled secretly, let Zhixing suffer the anger of the lady in Lizheng for her at this time.
"Auntie, don't scold him, this child was praised by the master in the school, and yesterday Geng Rong sent goat's milk to him to go home to report the news."
Lizheng Niangzi was stunned: "Yo! Really! ”
Zhimin also spoke up: "Auntie, my brother is amazing, this time I will compare Brother Qiyou to it." ”
Lizheng Niangzi changed her face full of joy, and said with Yourongyan: "Hey! When he was in the village, didn't Qi Xiucai always boast, while being chased and scolded by the leather monkey, he was full of praise with his heart full of praise. ”
"I, I just hope that Zhixing Qiyou and the two of them will have enough luck, and then your family will come back together to see if those few red-eyed and black-hearted things still have the courage to sway in front of you at that time."
Next, there is no need to return to Chun and Zhimin, Li Zheng Niangzi scolded a few words one by one, from Liu Gui and Liu Quan to Cai Hongyun and then Cheng Tianbao and his wife, I don't know where such a big anger came from.
Hearing this, Cai's couldn't cry or laugh, and he looked at Chungui and shook his head.
Seeing that the two of them didn't care much about their faces, Lizheng Niangzi hurriedly slapped them one by one, and said hurriedly: "Don't take it seriously you two!" Thought I was scolding for fun! ”
Chungui hurriedly grabbed her arm and said with a smile: "Oh, auntie, we are all here, and we can't hear or see." What's more, it's all old things, and I can't turn up new tricks. ”
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lizheng nodded her head, and said angrily: "Why are you so good-natured!" ”
After finishing the collar, she simply sat down next to her, her brows furrowed slightly: "Originally, I didn't want to say something bad this time, but since I said it, I still have to let you know about it." ”
Chungui and Cai's looked at each other, and they were a little surprised on their faces, is this making trouble again?
Li Zheng slapped the table: "It's not Li Lan and Cai Hongyun yet!" ”
"How many people praise you for collecting goat's milk, and now there are four or five silver dollars a day for those who have dairy sheep at home, and there are twenty yuan more, what a good thing!"
Chun Gui put away the smile on his face: "I remember that the Cheng family also has several dairy sheep, Sister Cai, Cai Hongyun's family does it have?" ”
Without waiting for Cai's reply, Mrs. Li Zheng said first: "Who doesn't have a few heads, if you said that you came to my house to buy dairy sheep a few years ago, but the price of mutton is expensive after the year, and many people have raised them and are waiting to sell for money, Cai Hongyun's family doesn't have it." ”
"They have dairy sheep, but they have all had a quarrel with the return of spring, and their morale is very high, and they are so cheap that they talk nonsense every day, and they say that they will not sell it to you if all the goat milk is poured, and they say that you sell goat milk for ten cents a piece, but you collect ten cents a bucket in the township, and you don't take the villagers to heart!"
Cai's immediately "puffed": "What a big face!" If they have the ability, they can also sell it for ten pennies a bowl! Now it's poured, these two pickled goods with no skin and no face! ”
This time, Cai also scolded him.
Chungui shook his head, every household has an entry every day, but the two of them can only stare at it with goat's milk, don't they have to make trouble.
was originally to avoid a sentence of the lady's urging of relatives, and it was a bit unexpected to be able to follow such a thing, and the spring return was also a little unexpected.
"Auntie, what is the reaction of the villagers?"
Mrs. Li Zheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, your Uncle Li Zheng came forward to tell everyone, this is your kindness, and it is not kind to climb up with the pole!" ”
Mrs. Lizheng swore a good word, but Chungui's heart was still entangled with a trace of dullness.
Ten dollars for a bowl, to ten dollars for a bucket, once such words enter the ears of the villagers, it is inevitable that there will be some calculations. Greed is not enough to swallow elephants, and I hope that these villagers are content.
"This matter is also settled, I just told you like this, you guys, don't be so good-natured, don't give her a good face if you go back to the village in the future!"
Chungui smiled faintly, hoping it was solved.
As they said this, Zhimin on the side also listened quietly, and no one noticed that the little girl had already frowned.
"It's done, it's over, it's over, you've heard it, it's done, let's come and see this dress made by Minmin!"
It wasn't until he heard this sentence that Zhimin accepted his expression, put on a smile, looked around like an experienced tailor, and said softly:
"Sister-in-law, I'll embroider a few more flowers for you at the cuffs, and the waist can be loosened a little more, so that the jacket will not be stuck in the winter."
Chungui didn't want to think about anything more at this time, so he suppressed these worries in his heart: "What do you think of my aunt and Sister Cai?" ”
The Cai family originally looked good, but Zhimin felt quite right when he said it, and both nodded: "Minmin has a point, the jacket with a jacket in winter has to be looser." ”
"The cuffs are embroidered with flowers and look lively, commensurate with your age."
You and I said one sentence, Chun Gui was also coaxed to take off his clothes, Zhimin quickly took it, hung it on his arm and reported a few words before going back to his own room to change his clothes.
Mrs. Li Zheng looked at the people walking away, and sighed: "I was reluctant for you to come to this town before, but now I see that your life is booming, and a few children are so caring and sensible, it's the right time!" ”
The three of them gossiped a few more words, and Mrs. Li Zheng also said that she wanted to go back.
She came to give Geng Rong a pair of shoes today, and it was not a big deal.
Cai Shi opened his mouth and left a sentence:
"The mountain goods sent by Zhigao for the first few trips are almost dry, and the spring return said that it was to be made into jerky, and the pot was burning, and the aunt stayed for a while, and took it back to the children at home to relieve their hunger."
Chun Gui also thought of this stubble, and said: "Yes, my aunt will stay and talk more, and take some back when the dried meat is ready." ”
Mrs. Li Zheng was interested: "Jerky meat? ”
A few people went out of the back room and into the kitchen, Chungui opened the pot, and Mrs. Li Zheng looked inside, and there was half a pot of salt foam that had been baked for a while. Looking to the side, there are neatly cut strips of meat, filled with a full pot.
Cai Shi poured all the meat strips into the salt foam, stirred a few times, covered the lid, and said:
"This is still a spring return, baking for half an hour, this jerky bite is firm and salty, when I tried to do it last time, Zhicun ate it with tea!"
The spring return is the method of salt baking, the salt here is lighter and salty, so baked, the taste is transparent but not too heavy, and it tastes just right.
"Auntie bring more, give it to Grandpa Li, and Brother Chen and Brother Chen will also send some over."
Since Li Zhigao put away the goat's milk seriously, he has done less hunting, and it just so happens that there are Chen Shi brothers, so most of them are the mountain goods hunted by Chen Shi and his brothers.
How could the lady not gossip, and the three of them simply gossiped in the kitchen and got busy.
Cai's words are all trivial things inside and outside the house, and there are a lot of words in the mouth of the lady in the house, so many people in these four towns and eight villages, it is a conversation to pull one out casually.
With these two people, Chun Hui is only listening.
Zhimin, on the other side, went back to the room in his clothes, and after a while, he came out empty-handed, crossed the passage at the wall, and entered the shop in front of him familiarly, glanced up and down, and saw Geng Rong coming down at the stairs.
Geng Rong saw her and hurriedly ran down, and said in surprise: "Why is Min Min here, there are a lot of people today, don't come to help." ”
This little girl is eleven years old, and this person has a lot of mouths, so it's better to walk around here less.
But Zhimin shook his head: "I'm not here to help. ”
She looked at the front and back, and said to Geng Rong with a smile:
"Brother Geng Rong, you can help me Brother Qiyou bring a message tomorrow."
