Ishihara picked his head honestly, "I didn't know that this thing could be soaked in water to drink, I'll help you carry it back, it's still a little far from Xiao Qi's house." ”

Feeling the slight tightness of his palm, Su Jin refused with a smile, "Thank you for the kindness of the third brother of the Shi family, this weight, Yun Qing can carry it." ”

Then he said: "Let's go first, and we'll talk when we have time." ”

"Girl Hibiscus, take some vegetables back and eat them."

At this time, Shi Xiao spoke, grabbed a handful of cabbage and handed it to Su Jin.

She heard from Ishihara that Xiao Qi's family entrusted him to make furniture, and gave him a deposit or two.

Su Jin discussed this matter with Qi Yunqing, and Ishihara's craftsmanship was very good in the village.

In order to avoid suspicion, Su Jin didn't care about this matter, gave the drawings to Qi Yunqing, and asked him to find Ishihara.

"Aunt Shi, you can keep it for yourself, my second aunt sent a basket of vegetables yesterday, and I haven't finished it yet." Su Geun politely refused.

"Take it, there's so much more in the field." Shi Xiao stuffed it on top of her basket.

Su Jinyu glanced at the man next to her, "Then Jin'er thank you Aunt Shi." ”

If you shirk it again, I'm afraid it will have to be delayed for a while.

"No thanks."

Seeing the woman's just right smile, Shi Xiao's heart was complicated.

After all, she was blind.

If she hadn't stopped this family affair at the beginning, how harmonious the family would be now.

From beginning to end, Su Jin never looked at him, and Shi Linyi's heart was sour.

……

The Wei family

"Grandpa Wei take it, the oranges don't grow in vain, we don't give copper coins when we pick a few on weekdays, and it's reasonable, I picked a basket today, if Grandpa Wei doesn't accept it, Yunqing and I won't dare to carry it home."

Su Jin was not good at stuffing it to the Wei butcher, so he had to put it on a stool in the yard.

"Yunqing's daughter-in-law, you can't do it, you can't do it."

Old man Wei looked at the copper plate on the stool, there were at least sixty wen, and hurriedly waved his hand, and said, "Some worthless oranges, if you don't pick them, they will fall to the ground and rot." ”

He grabbed the copper coin on the stool and stuffed it to Qi Yunqing, "Yunqing, take it back quickly." ”

Qi Yunqing took two steps back, "Grandpa Wei take it, if you don't accept it, we have to go to the town tomorrow to buy it." ”

Hearing this, Old Man Wei hesitated, smiled and sighed, "You two children are just too sincere." ”

"Grandpa accepted the copper coin this time, next time you want to pick oranges, don't give the copper coin, otherwise Grandpa will be angry."

Qi Yunqing smiled and nodded, "Yunqing won't be polite to Grandpa Wei." ”

After the two left, Old Man Wei looked down at the copper coin in his hand, turned his head and said in the direction of the big house: "Yongcheng!" ”

"Here it is, Daddy." The room hurriedly responded.

It didn't take long for Wei Yongcheng to stride out and ask, "What's wrong with Dad?" ”

"You go and call Yong'an, the two brothers go to the orange field together to pick two baskets of oranges for Xiao Qi's family."

Old man Wei stuffed the copper plate in his hand to her, "You two brothers divide it equally." ”

The weight in his hand made Wei Yongcheng frightened, "The Xiao Qi family gives so much." ”

I heard some of them in the house just now.

Butcher Wei nodded, "You pick the big picks." ”

……

Xiao Qi's family

Su Jin and Qi Yunqinggang washed the oranges and put them on a large dustpan to drain.

Wei Yongcheng and Wei Yongan came with two baskets of oranges.

Originally, they picked two baskets, but Wei Yongcheng and Wei Yongan thought that Xiao Qi's family had given dozens of copper coins, so they picked two more baskets for Xiao Qi's family.

can't let Xiao Qi's family suffer.

Wei Yongcheng wiped a handful of sweat and said, "Yunqing, where will the oranges pour for you?" ”

Qi Yunqing immediately understood what was going on, pointed to the back basket and said, "Uncle Wei is inside." ”

After saying that, he went back to the house and took out two more baskets for them to pour.

Then he walked to Su Jin's side, bowed his head slightly, and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Jin'er, go and count a hundred copper coins." ”

One basket is about 20 catties, and four baskets are 100 catties.

"Okay."

Su Jin nodded, entered the room and counted a hundred copper plates, threaded them with threads, and took them out and gave them to Qi Yunqing.

When Wei Yongcheng and the others were finished, Qi Yunqing handed the copper plate to Wei Yongcheng and thanked him: "Thank you Uncle Wei and Second Uncle Wei for this." ”

Wei Yongcheng was embarrassed to accept his copper money again, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Yunqing, don't give it, I won't ask for it with your Second Uncle Wei." ”

Wei Yongan echoed: "That's it, these oranges are not valuable, so let's go first." ”

Without waiting for Qi Yunqing to say anything, the two of them left with the basket.

……

In order to wash these large baskets of oranges, Su Jin and Qi Yunqing were busy until midnight.

The next day, after breakfast, I began to slice the oranges, dry them in a large dustpan, and take a small part to the stove to make a dark fire.

After four or five days, only half of the kang was dry, and half of it was not kang.

On this day, after breakfast.

Inside the main house

Su Jin took a cloth bag with dried oranges, and when she heard footsteps, she turned her head, "Yunqing, has the ready-made clothes moved into the carriage?" ”

Li He and Su Zhao embroidered the clothes last night, and she just waited for the ready-to-wear clothes to delay going to town for a few days.

"Hmm."

Qi Yunqing lifted the burden on the stool, "Packed up?" ”

"Right away, I'll fill Aunt Liu with dried oranges."

Su Jin took the rope and tied the cloth bag, and then the two walked out.

Seeing Li He standing in the courtyard, Su Jin took out a prepared tael of silver from her arms and stuffed it into her hand, "Mother and Sakura are at home, if you want to eat meat, you will go to Grandpa Wei's house to cut it, and Yunqing and I will come back in three or four days." ”

"You go, don't worry about us, my mother still has money in her hand."

Li He wanted to return the silver to her, but Su Jin confiscated it.

After that, she also gave Su Ying ten cents and asked her to buy candy to eat.

The second aunt of the Wen family in the village is selling maltose, a penny a piece.

Once in town, the carriage went straight to North Lane.

There are not many pedestrians on this side of the North Lane, and no one lives in it for several months, only a little dust.

The two only cleaned the kitchen and one room came out.

The last time they left, they folded the quilts and put them in the cabinet, and the quilt covers were naturally washed.

It's just that when I take it out, it still smells bad, which should be because of the long time.

Fortunately, the weather outside was quite good, and the two of them took out the quilt and quilt cover to dry.

After doing all this, it was already past noon, and the two of them rested for a while and went into the kitchen to cook.

When he left, Li He loaded some rice and gave them a basket of vegetables.

Su Jin burned the fire, Qi Yunqing washed rice and cooked rice, and the kitchen was quiet for a while.

Suddenly, a deep male voice sounded, "Jin'er, help me roll up my sleeves." ”

"Okay."

Su Jin hurriedly put down the tongs, clapped his hands, and then walked over to roll up his loose sleeves for him.

In the next second, there was a touch of warmth on her forehead, and he said, "Hungry, there are rice cakes in the baggage, go and bring them to pad your stomach." ”

There were only two of them, Su Jin was not very shy, she leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, "Not hungry yet." ”

The lunch for the two was simple, and two plates of vegetables were solved.

In the afternoon, Su Jin began to feel sleepy as usual, thinking that going to Xiuyunfang today would not help much, so he put his hands on the table and buried his head in sleep.
