The two of them were busy with their own work, and sometimes they said a few words, the sun gradually rose, and a group of people who rushed to the market in front of them also came back, seeing that it was a sugar water stall set up in the spring, Cai's mouth was open, and he could name a flower, and he also bought a bowl.

In addition, when the village chief's house rushed to the market in the morning, he said a few words about the beauty of this sugar water, and a group of people also came fresh.

Some people think that this brown sugar ginger tea is too spicy, and some prefer this mouthful. More of them are brought to the children at home, there are basically two or three children in every family here, plus the first time I ate this sweet potato, I was willing to give up two pennies, and the pot of sweet potatoes sold very quickly, and it bottomed out after a while.

After the sun rose, people began to gather at the entrance of the village, and after several days of rain, it was difficult to catch up with the good weather, and they all sat around scattered when they returned here in spring.

Occasionally, two people would come over and buy a bowl and take a few sips on the spot, and some would start gossiping.

The pot of sweet potato syrup was only bought by people who rushed to the market, and a few more intentional ones were sold out. The two aunts of the Cheng family, who came to the door with their children in their arms last night, heard the news and hurried over, but unfortunately there was only a pot of brown sugar ginger tea left.

Cheng's sister-in-law complained: "I said that the spring return, since I opened the door to do business, I have to prepare more things, I still have boiling water at home, this is running out to buy you a bowl of sweet potato syrup, this is still sold out, my child can remember it!" ”

Chungui said helplessly: "Auntie, if you take it back to give the child a good health, then this ginger tea is the same." ”

She shook her head: "Not only to nourish the body, but also to be a snack!" My kid loves to eat the grass vine fruit here! ”

Some people who have never tasted it asked, "Is this sugar water really so powerful?" ”

Another Cheng family immediately accosted: "Anyway, last night, my family drank a bowl of cough and had a lot less, and I had to take several meals of this medicine, I thought that this sugar water should be drunk for a few more days, no, I just heard that Chungui set up a stall, so I came here." ”

I didn't expect it to sell so quickly.

When the person asked, he looked at the person next to him, and his face was a little moved.

Most people here think so, buy a big bowl full of pennies and two pennies, this is brown sugar and ginger, you can't always suffer a loss, if it's really good for your body, it's also earning. I didn't see if the great-grandson of the head of the Liu Village family was really good, but now that I heard people say it honestly, it really has some effect, and the minds of the onlookers are also alive.

It doesn't matter if the sweet potato sugar water is gone, Chun Gui said, ginger tea is the same.

So the onlookers finally opened their mouths, and smiled embarrassedly: "Spring return girl, bring me a bowl of ginger tea too, it's really a little cold these days." ”

"Bring me a bowl too! In two days, it will rain again, so be a little more prepared. ”

"Get me a bowl too!"

........

There were more than a few gossiping people at the entrance of the village, and as soon as this drove in, the surrounding people also rushed over.

Seeing this, Cai's hurriedly put down the needlework to help, and Chungui did not forget to say to the two Cheng aunts while responding: "I'll cook another pot later, and leave a bowl for the two of you!" ”

Only then did the two of them relax: "Then I'll come back at noon to get it!" ”

Near noon, the two cauldrons were successfully bottomed out, Chungui wiped his sweat, Cai looked at the needlework in his hand that had not moved a few stitches, the two looked at each other, and they both laughed "poof".

"Blame me, blame me, Sister Cai's needlework hasn't been done." Chungui picked up the handkerchief and apologized with a smile, and glanced at it, it was a picture of plum blossoms with a bottom.

"Sister Cai, do you embroider it yourself?"

Cai sat down and hammered his arm: "How can I use this, this is the job I took back to my parents' house a few days ago, and my sister took over the guy who embroidered the handkerchief in the town and evened me some." ”

"This handkerchief is a penny, and I earn some money to subsidize my family."

Chungui sighed in his heart when he heard this, according to Cai's speed, a pair of handkerchiefs embroidered on half a day is only three yuan, and it is only six yuan a day, no wonder this little treasure has been saved for so many years. Today, in order to help her sugar water stall, I guess I can't embroider much.

"It's handwork, embroidering according to the drawing, and it doesn't take a lot of brains." Cai took the handkerchief and smiled and continued to embroider.

Chungui deliberately left her for lunch, then took the two large pots back to the kitchen, got up the stove to cut ginger and sweet potatoes, and cooked them again.

The two big pots in the morning were full of a large handful of copper plates, and they didn't have time to order the spring return, so they were all stuffed into a cloth bag, waiting for the evening to be ordered.

Cai was still sitting at the entrance of the courtyard, embroidering a handkerchief while helping her look at the stall.

Chungui pursed the corners of his lips, can't this embroidered veil earn any money........

She sighed and continued to be busy, and the few small ones in it were not idle.

Zhiping Zhimin took two partners to recognize words together, because Zhiyuan is a newcomer, a few small ones started to be little masters one after another, teaching new friends to write some introductory words, and then Qi You and Zhixing helped teach them to write their own names, by noon, Zhiyuan had written a whole piece of paper, Chungui took the time to go in and take a look, but it was much harder than when Zhiping first learned, so he also allowed these children to come to the yard in the afternoon to endorse.

On the other hand, Qi You and Zhixing didn't stop, and after warming the book, they copied most of the books they received, just for a word to make money, and Zhixing was able to firmly control his hand and copy a book clearly and neatly.

Chungui praised Zhixing fiercely without reservation, and made the child so happy that his hands were not sore, and he continued to copy it.

-

When Qi You came out after copying a book, Chun Gui had already boiled a pot of sweet potato and ginger tea, and when he saw that there was more than half a bucket of bowls in the wooden barrel, he took it to the small pool and washed it.

There were still people outside who had not dispersed, and they all watched Qi You wash all the dishes, and when they saw him, they couldn't help but gossip.

"It seems that the second child of the Cheng family has settled in the Liu family."

Another mouthy covered his mouth and said: "That's not it, I was talking that day, and I handed a letter of severance to Chengjia Village, don't you know what this means." ”

"What's the way, Cheng Tianbao is still a demon after dividing the family, I think it's better to be in the Liu family, the spring return is capable, how good it sells for one penny or two cents this morning."

"But we haven't had anything like this here, but it seems that our village is not peaceful."

Whether this was said for good or bad, Qi You ignored it at all, and only washed the dishes with his head half-hanged, washed the dishes and cleaned the moss next to the pool again, so as not to know that a few small ones ran around and accidentally slipped their feet.

Chun Gui in the house shouted: "Qi You, did you take the bowl to wash?" ”

Qi You hurriedly responded: "I'm almost done, Sister Chun, I'll bring it in immediately." ”

Then he sped up to clean up a circle of moss, and then picked up a wooden bucket of bowls and entered the house, as if he was a family with the Liu family, and he had never seen the people outside the courtyard during the whole process.

Cai Shi looked at the crowd, pondered for a while, and then smiled intentionally: "Cheng Tianbao and his Yaksha daughter-in-law are not blessed, our Qi You is also diligent and grateful, and the people of the Liu family treat him well, and he will repay a few more points." When the time comes, if you take the imperial examination and become an official, Cheng Tianbao will regret it, I think their old Cheng family will regret it. ”

There were Cai's relatives chatting on the side, and when they saw this, they spat and said deliberately: "This trouble is noisy, noisy and noisy, how did you take out the letter of breaking off relatives, I look at the patriarch of the Cheng family is very angry." ”

As soon as she said this, someone from the Cheng family echoed: "It's only been two months, and it's been a family split and a family break, and the gimmick is not small." ”

Qi You walked to the door in the house, and was suddenly slapped a few times on his back, he hurriedly turned around, Chun Guizheng looked at him with a light smile, and then his eyebrows were cold, and he walked past him to the yard, Qi You's heart jumped, and he turned his back and hid behind the door and waited quietly.

At the door, Cai just wanted to scold back, but the women who were trying to echo suddenly looked sneered and were silent.

She hurriedly turned around, Chungui turned her head and smiled at her, and then saluted everyone, she swept around, there were people from all over the house, it had been more than a month, Qi You had as much sympathy as she had caused this matter, and she couldn't stop everyone's mouths, but she could still show her attitude.

After sweeping around, Chun Gui said lightly to the two women who had just finished speaking: "Both of them are elders, so I won't say anything ugly." ”

As soon as these words fell, the two people's faces were red and white, and they opened their mouths to speak and were blocked back by Chungui.

"Sister-in-law of the Cheng family, you said that Qi You's gimmick is not small, but I want to ask the last question, do you know why you split up and why you broke off?"

"He is only fifteen after the New Year, and he is only a show talent when he takes the college exam in the next year, and he has no money and no food when he separates his family, and he is in this old house after breaking off his relatives. Now it is the situation of being poor and having nothing, but he would rather be poor, and would rather have nothing to rely on than break off his relatives, haven't you Cheng family thought about the reason? ”

Without waiting for the man to say anything, Chungui answered by himself.

"The separation was forced at the beginning, but now you have to take the initiative to break off your family, otherwise you still think he is a clay man and how easy it is to bully!"

The man's face turned red, and he was a little angry: "Cheng Tianbao and his wife are at fault, this kid didn't write this letter of disconnection to his brother, and sent it to the patriarch from afar, and now everyone says that the Cheng family is not kind, what kind of heart does he have?!" ”

Chungui raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Kind? Which of your Cheng family is kind? Did he give him a bite of food during the drought, or did he stand up and say a word when he was sold by Cheng Tianbao? ”

"The day before yesterday, I heard that the Cheng family didn't talk about it, Aunt Guixiang followed us and hid for half a month, and Cheng Tianbao didn't even dare to show his face in front of people, I still thought that this matter would be forgotten now, why did I come to chew the root of my tongue again today, it turned out to be for the sake of face!"

"What have you done to deserve to be kind? Why do you still have the face to accuse him here after heal? ”

Chungui stared at the woman in front of him, and asked rhetorically, "Now that I have come to see my face, don't you think it's a little late?" ”

It was the time when the crowd was silent without saying a word, and at this time Cai added quietly: "When you are sick, you know how to put on more clothes, and when your face is hurt, you know that you cover your face, and you can't beat the gongs and drums when you run for funeral." It made everyone want to laugh.

The woman of the Cheng family blushed when she was said, glared at Chungui several times and walked away quickly.

Another relative of the Cai family had already taken several steps back, hiding behind a few people and not daring to squeak.

Chungui glanced at the Cai family helplessly, turned his head and changed his expression, and the toughness of the woman who had just confronted the Cheng family all dispersed, and he saluted everyone again: "Fellow villagers, if it is not really a desperate situation, who is willing to part with blood relatives, and who wants to break off with the same clan?" You have watched Qi You grow up, and you all know what kind of child he is, and please don't pay attention to these gossips in the future. ”

Someone inside sighed and said: "Girl, although we have also sold our children and grandchildren to big families here, but that day we all watched how many times Qi You's child broke his leg before he was rescued by Chen Shi, and we also know Qi You's talent and learning, we can't do it and can't see anyone do it, don't worry, this matter will be over, and if someone mentions it, we are also on Qi You's side." ”

Someone in the back picked up: "That's it, they just have broken mouths, you guys don't pay attention to it, let's live a good life!" ”

This matter should have been completely ended on the day Qi You was almost sold, but now it has been passed on for a long time, that is, the joy of those people in the Cheng family, but after decades of four towns and eight villages, who is not happy that the wife is peaceful.

Chungui smiled at this time, and after thanking everyone again, she thought about it and continued: "I know that you all want to ask Qi You if he lives here with me, and I will say this in front of everyone today." ”

She looked around at everyone and said word by word: "Our whole family regards Qi You as family. ”

"He lives here for a day, I will treat him with Zhixing Zhiping Zhimin, and I also ask all the villagers to take care of it together, it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future, but I promise that even if Qi You does nothing in the future, he will be a good person who knows etiquette and etiquette."
