Chapter 26: The Sugar Water Stalls (2)
Chungui raised his eyebrows: "In town? Staying in town? ”
Qi You didn't reply.
Surprised for a while, she thought about it seriously: "If you have enough money, of course you want to go to a farther and better place." ”
She is not the original body, she has a rooted affection for this land, she is an outsider who is constantly positive, if she can rely on her own hands to move forward step by step, then she will go to a wider place.
What's more, this land is not her ideal home.
She turned her head to look at the young man next to her with pity, and was silent for a while.
She said, "Maybe when the time comes, I will be able to find a better master for you and Zhixing." "It's like the private school that the children of those outsiders go to, the official school or clan school that the children of the official family go to, or those teachers who are highly respected. Instead of having a body of knowledge and being sold as a scholar.
If her children had this kind of creation, she would wake up with a smile in her dreams, but unfortunately now she can only let them be fed and clothed.
After she finished speaking, Qi You's eyes became brighter, and he looked down and said slowly: "Sister Chun, I support you in setting up that sugar water stall, and that sugar water will definitely sell very well." ”
She raised her eyebrows: "Okay, then I'll start tomorrow." ”
Qi You added two sticks of firewood to the small stove and said slowly: "If we wait here for a long time, maybe we can go to the town to set it up." ”
Chungui smiled: "It's so easy, it takes a lot of effort to go back and forth to the market every day, you might as well say let's buy a shop in the town!" ”
Chungui shook his head, where are they now, but they have some money to paint the fan, and they will put up a sugar water stall tomorrow.
I didn't want Qi You to stop the movements in his hand, turned his head and looked at her fixedly, and said stubbornly: "What if." ”
Chungui met his clear eyes, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.
.......
She took the joke as if she was right, in case, slowly saving up money, maybe one day she could really buy a shop in the town to sell sugar water, selling sugar water in the east and her paintings in the west.
What if they also find a mentor for Zhixing, everything is still undecided, and everything is possible, isn't it?
She thought about it and laughed out loud, okay.
If it's impossible, let's move towards a goal!
Seeing her look like this, Qi You finally smiled. The two didn't say a word, but they thought very tacitly.
This place cannot be the end, but only the beginning of their family.
After breakfast, several children also woke up according to the biological clock, the rice porridge boiled in bone broth was fragrant and delicious, and then it was accompanied by sweet potatoes and eggs specially steamed in Chungui, which made a group of children happy.
Zhixing They just set the dishes and chopsticks, a little gold in the house, a child looked at them with the door, Zhixing took a look, touched his head, the heat was all gone, not to mention, the spirit was enough.
"Sister-in-law, is Xiao Jinzi's body well?"
Chungui hurriedly beckoned to the child: "It looks like it's all right, Zhixing, go to the door of Zhiping's room and call your uncle and aunt for breakfast." ”
Last night, the couple must have slept poorly, and they had to get up several times a night to check on the child's condition.
Xiao Jinzi didn't recognize his life, let Chungui lead him to sit at the dinner table, Zhiping looked at him with his chin in his hand, and calculated in his heart, Cai Xiaobao, Li Zhiyuan, plus Xiao Jinzi, their family has recently come to a lot of friends, think about it, before, he only had one playmate Xiaobao, and it was boring at that time. It's not like now, it's too lively.
Thinking like this, he grinned and picked up a piece of sweet potato with his chopsticks and put it in the bowl of little gold.
The two children looked at each other and began to whisper.
As soon as Liu Jiawang and his wife came over, they saw that their children had regained their former vitality, and they talked with Zhiping and the two.
The breakfast made by Chungui counted Liu Jiawang's three people, plus their own family of eight people, a small square table was a little crowded, but no one cared, just drank brown rice porridge and ate sweet potatoes. The Liu family is controlled by the village chief, the family style is clear, and it is also a family of food and clothing, chicken soup and broth have also been eaten, but I didn't expect that the soup stewed from the bones is not inferior at all, and the couple drank a bowl of brown rice porridge and their stomachs were also steady.
originally planned to leave after eating, but Chungui packed a few bones, but the two refused to accept it. Although this bone is cheap, it is not easy to return to this family in spring, from last night to this morning, how many things have been sent out one after another, and only the two pieces of ginger last night have more than a dozen.
"Spring return sister, we really don't accept it, last night I went to my grandfather's place to report the news, and by the way, I told my family what you said about the way to make up for the body, my mother went to the market early this morning, and now I must have bought bones and ginger pieces."
Liu Jiawang said this, and Chun Gui no longer insisted, only thinking about sending the family to the door.
Unexpectedly, he was being sent to the courtyard, and the old village chief was carried by his two sons from a distance. As he walked, he looked at the spring return, and his eyes were anxious.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinzi immediately ran over to call someone, and when he saw his great-grandson, Village Chief Liu wiped his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the first great-grandson of his family, raising an egg every day, he didn't expect to catch a cold and fever, he was worried all day yesterday, fortunately, the grandson reported to him overnight that the child was here in the spring, but this morning he couldn't sit still.
After seeing the little great-grandson, he trembled and walked to the spring return.
Chun Gui hurriedly greeted her, and Village Chief Liu patted her on the shoulder, and she almost burst into tears: "Girl, grandpa thank you!" You are so kind-hearted, you will be blessed! ”
Chun Gui hurriedly responded: "Grandpa the village chief, you don't have to thank me, the child's wind and cold are a common thing, and it will pass when you sweat, and the things that should be paid attention to are that Brother Wang and his sister-in-law know better than me when they are fathers and mothers." ”
When the eldest son of the village chief Liu heard this, he glared at the couple angrily: "If they understand, they can still make Xiao Jinzi sick?!" I said a long time ago that I am not in a hurry to divide it, and when the children are older, these two are determined to live the life of a family of three! Now look at what has become of it! ”
The young couple was scolded and bowed their heads, and Chun Gui persuaded a few more words, and then Village Chief Liu sighed: "Don't say it, don't say it, our family remembers your goodness." ”
After speaking, he looked around the neat appearance of the Liu family's yard, and when he saw the sweet potato vines in the remaining half of the field, he nodded. Yesterday, when Jiawang reported to him, he also mentioned this grass vine fruit, saying that it can not only nourish the stomach but also fill the stomach, and add it to ginger tea to suppress the spicy taste. This is still the food used to feed the stomach in the spring return to the great drought, and this thing is very useful.
Chungui saw that his eyes glanced at the sweet potato, his heart moved, and after thinking about it, he said directly: "Grandpa the village chief, after last night, I did have an idea, and I just said to Qi You that this kid agrees." ”
Village Chief Liu held Xiao Jinzi's hand and didn't let go, obviously afraid: "You say, grandpa listen." ”
Chun Gui said: "Grandpa the village chief, I think you also know the use of this grass and vine fruit, I think so, there are not a few children in our village, the weather is unusually cold after the winter this year, which is due to the wind chill The external cause is this weather, but in the final analysis, the children's bodies are not strong." ”
There are many adults who have the manpower to go to the field, and there are old people like the village chief who want the children to take the road of the imperial examination, and most of the children rarely work in the field except for their daily work, and they are generally sent to the private school Qi Xiucai when they reach the age of enlightenment. I don't exercise often, and I am spoiled by my family, how can my body be so strong. When she first came here, even her family's Zhiping Zhimin was very thin.
She raised her eyes and continued: "I think tomorrow I will set up a small stall at home to sell some of my homemade sugar water, children can't get used to the ginger taste, and it just so happens that my grass and vine fruits can also come in handy, and I can also supplement some household use." What do you think? ”
She looked at the old man in front of her with a sincere face, setting up a stall here is all casual, but the older generation is respected, whether it is to make a name for herself or to be respected, she has to report to Village Chief Liu.
After hearing this, Village Chief Liu immediately clapped his hands and looked kind: "Okay, of course it's good!" ”
This grass and vine fruit is planted by this child, and the things obtained in the troubled times happen to be a new thing, and this sugar water has such a function, which can not only replenish the body of the children in the village, but also earn some money for their own family, which is not bad.
Instead, he reminded: "That ginger is not cheap, it is sold a little more expensive, and no one says anything about you." ”
Chungui was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Grandpa the village chief, what you said ......."
She wanted to joke, but she didn't expect Village Chief Liu to look at her helplessly, and said seriously: "Girl, if you subsidize the family, you can earn a good fortune, this ginger tea has a real effect, our little gold and the other two children last night can prove it, we are not deceiving people, you have to have some confidence." ”
"There are two eldest children in your family now, Zhixing and Qi You are both smart and capable, so you can call them and make it easier for yourself."
These words warmed Chungui's heart, and Village Chief Liu had already acquiesced to Qi You's living here.
The old man obviously hated that iron could not become steel, and the more he talked about it, the more he understood, so he set a price for her ginger tea.
He said energetically, Liu Jiawang hurriedly said goodbye when he saw this, and took the old man away, and the village chief Liu told her while walking: "Don't sell it casually!" ”
It's funny and helpless to say that the spring is returning.
Since he got the approval of the village chief, Chun Gui said he would do it, and after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, he would go into the market to buy some ginger, Qi You and Zhixing were commanded by her to take care of the family, and the other went to Cai's place to buy a lot of brown sugar, if Cai's place was gone, he would go to Cai's mother's house to buy some.
Anyway, if this stall has been on the line for a long time, one day it will have to be linked to Cai's mother.
Zhiping Zhimin is keen, and knows that there is going to be a not trivial matter at home next, and the two of them have been quietly practicing calligraphy and talking in the back room all day long. It wasn't until Chungui came back from the bazaar and brought back half a basket of ginger that they ran out.
Zhixing also went to Caijia Village and bought nearly 30 pieces of brown sugar. Zhiping secretly took a little dip in his hand and sipped it, and it was sweet to the heart!
He turned his head and said, "Sister, but it's still sweet from the grass vines planted by my sister-in-law." ”
Zhimin also nodded: "Sister-in-law is going to make sugar water tomorrow, just like that day, I will also put grass and vine fruits." ”
The two secretly dipped some sugar again, ran to Qi You's side, squatted down left and right and watched. Qi Youzheng moved a small table to copy books in the courtyard, and the words were neat and clean.
In the winter, Zhixing was stunned and sweated, and went into the courtyard to wash his face with the cold water by the small pool, shivering from the cold. After the whole person woke up, he looked at the small fish in the pond for a while, and then looked at the three people gathered in the courtyard, and said with a long breath: "Qi You, since my sister-in-law woke up from the ghost gate that day, our family has been getting better and better." ”
Qi You paused when he heard this, raised his eyes and smiled at the two children who were obediently squatting, and said, "Hmm." ”
