Towards dusk, Su Jin went to the big pond again to see how well he was digging.

A small part has already been expanded.

He Xiangxi had been in the sun for a day, his yellowed cheeks were tanned, and he gasped a few times, "Yunqing daughter-in-law, what is it going to look like?" ”

Su Jin pondered for a moment, it was almost May, and the heat usually lasted until September and October, and the worst plan was November.

From this point of view, it is necessary to maintain water supply in the village for at least six months, and the water consumption of more than 30 households, counting two or three hundred people, must be large.

"The bigger, the better, and while there is still a flow of water, refill it with more water."

He Xiangxi nodded, and swept Su Jin's room, her cheeks were crimson, and she was probably also tanned, and she was a little embarrassed, "I'm troublesome Yunqing's daughter-in-law today." ”

"Don't bother, we are all responsible for the affairs of the village." Su Jin smiled absently.

Thinking of something, she took out two taels of silver from her arms and stuffed it into him, and soon she left, "Xiao Qi's family is small, and he can't make much effort, this bit of silver Grandpa He looked at buying some meat and making up for his uncle." ”

There is basically one person from every family in the village, but there is no one from the Xiao Qi family and the Sun family.

Su Jin didn't want Qi Yunqing to be too tired, so after thinking about it, he decided to give some silver.

"I can't help it, Xiao Qi's family is weak, and the people in the village understand that they won't say anything, and if it weren't for you and Yunqing, we wouldn't have thought of doing this." He Xiangxi glanced down at her, and hurriedly stuffed it to her again.

Su Jin took a step back and shook his head resolutely, "Grandpa He, take it, this is Yunqing's little heart." ”

I didn't plan to say anything more, "It's not too early, Grandpa He, I'll go back to cooking." ”

After saying that, she turned around and left, only to see Ma Wang standing not far away, staring obscenely at her and He Xiangxi.

There was something disgusting in her eyes, like she was looking at a dirty thing.

However, Su Jin didn't pay attention to her, and walked straight past her.

did not go back to Xiao Qi's house directly, but went to Sun's house.

Sun Zhu came early in the morning to cook mung bean soup.

I talked to Sun Zhu and Sun You that the mung bean soup would continue to boil in the past few days, and when the time came, she would call someone to pick it up to the big pond.

Su Jin reached out and took the taro that was babbling at her, and now the taro has grown a little, originally a single eyelid, but now it has become a double eyelid, and the eyes are big and bright.

When she was happy for a while, she hugged it for a long time, and when she looked at the sky again, it was not early, she gave the taro to Sun You's and carried it home.

Coincidentally, at the fork in the road at the entrance of the village, I saw my own carriage.

She was behind, the carriage was in front, Qi Yunqing didn't see her, and Su Jin didn't call him, and sped up his steps.

……

Qi Yunqing got out of the carriage and carried the things into the house, Li He also ran out when he heard the sound, and said happily: "Yunqing." ”

"Mother."

Qi Yunqing carried the flour into the main room, and then looked at the bed, there was no one.

I came out and looked at the latrine and kitchen again, but there was no one.

"Mother......

Before he could ask, Li He knew what he was going to ask, and said with a smile: "Jin'er has gone to Xishan, and I was just about to look for her." ”

"I'll go."

Qi Yunqing lifted his feet and walked out of the yard, and happened to collide with Su Jin.

Su Jin subconsciously covered her stomach, and then raised her head to look at the man, "Yunqing, what are you doing in such a hurry?" As he spoke, he rubbed the tip of his aching nose.

Seeing that her apricot eyes were red, and she knew that it hurt her, Qi Yunqing bent down and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”

He raised his hand and gently rubbed the tip of her nose, and said, "I'll pay attention next time." ”

Hearing this, Su Jinwan laughed, "Yunqing, I'm sorry for what, I just bumped into it, it's nothing." ”

Seeing the two talking at the door, Li He shook his head with a chuckle, and was not a "pillar" here, and raised his feet into the kitchen.

After the two entered the house, Su Jin glanced at the flour on the table, raised his hand and poured a bowl of water for Qi Yunqing, "Yunqing, no rice to sell?" ”

Qi Yunqing didn't answer, let her drink it herself, and then took the teapot and poured a bowl for herself, "Well, there are more people buying rice." ”

After speaking, I took a few sips of water.

Su Jin pursed her lips, it seemed that more than they noticed, "Yunqing, tomorrow my mother and I will go to the town with you and go to the rice shop to line up to buy rice." ”

There is still half a bag of rice at home, about 20 catties, which can't last a few days.

Qi Yunqing also knew in his heart that this matter could not be delayed, so he nodded, "I asked the shopkeeper of the rice shop to leave me thirty catties of rice tomorrow, and I will get it tomorrow night." ”

When he mentioned this, Su Jin remembered another matter, "Yunqing, I left five acres of mountain land in Xishan to grow wheat. ”

She got up and went to the cabinet to get the ointment, and then wanted to wipe Qi Yunqing's shoulder.

Qi Yunqing grabbed her wrist and pulled her to sit down, "It's okay, I only moved the goods for the morning, and settled the accounts in the inner room in the afternoon, and the weekly account room was sick, and the Hu steward asked me to do it for a few days." ”

Su Jin's eyes were delighted, "Yunqing, you are so powerful." ”

Yunqing doesn't have to carry the goods, it is joy for her.

Terrible?

Qi Yunqing couldn't cry or laugh, what was so powerful about this, but the woman's expression was a little pleasing to him, and he leaned in and kissed her, "Jin'er is the most powerful." ”

……

The next day, it was still dark.

The three members of Xiao Qi's family were busy in the kitchen, and they didn't cook any big dishes for fear of delaying time.

After eating, filling the food box and water, the three of them got into the carriage.

Sun Qing was already waiting at the entrance of the village.

Seeing Su Jin and Li He, he said hello honestly and sat on the wooden board outside, "Auntie, are you going to the town to catch the market?" ”

"yes, go buy some rice." Li He replied through the carriage curtain.

I set out at the same time as yesterday, but today I arrived in town a quarter or two of hours late, but not too late, and there were still two quarters of an hour before the end of the day.

After getting out of the carriage, Sun Qing and Qi Yunqing went to the dock, while Su Jin and Li He went to the rice shop.

The rice shop hasn't opened yet, and there aren't many people on the street.

Su Jin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and she hadn't lined up in a long line to buy rice.

It doesn't seem serious.

After a while, the door opened.

The two of them were the first people to enter the shop today, and the shopkeeper of the rice shop smiled and said, "Buy rice? ”

"I don't have any rice at home, so I want to buy some." Su Jin nodded.

"How much to buy?"

"One hundred pounds."

"So much?"

"I don't have any land at home, and it's not easy to come to the town once, so I want to buy more rice and go back to eat for two or three months."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper of the rice shop didn't think much about it, and asked with a smile: "Do you want coarse rice or fine rice?" ”

"Half the same." Su Geun said.

After that, the shopkeeper of the rice shop weighed the rice for her, and said: "Thanks to you coming early, there are more people waiting for the hour, and I can't buy so much rice." ”

"It's a hot day, I'm afraid it's going to be a drought, so you'd better stock up on rice if you don't have any land, otherwise you won't be able to buy rice with money in a few days."

Su Jin wanted to buy more, but she couldn't get it back if she bought more.

"I'll buy it in a few days."

"Okay." The shopkeeper was not reluctant.

After paying the money, Su Jin was tired of the shopkeeper and asked someone to take the rice to the carriage at the entrance of the town.

When Grandpa Zhou's donkey cart came, Li He and Su Jin carried the rice to the donkey cart and paid an extra amount of money for the donkey cart.

After all, a hundred catties of rice can be used as a woman.
