Chapter Seventy-Eight: Autumn Colors Encounter Gazi
"Mother, I came to you for one more thing." Qiu Se continued: "I also have to make more tiger skin beans, or let's do it together, and help each other faster." ”
Wu hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help frowning when he heard the scolding of Mrs. Ding, and finally said, "It's better to do your own thing, or it's inconvenient for you to run back and forth." ”
Qiu Se smiled and said, "Don't run back and forth, you can go directly to me and do it!" I'll tell Qing Niang, if you can't give her some venue fees then. ”
"It's not convenient, is it?" Wu hesitated.
"What's inconvenient? You'll still have time to take a break. Qiu Se persuaded: "Besides, after the pickles are finished, they will be sent to Li's shopkeeper's wine shop, and it is closer to making them on the dock." ”
"Okay, I'll discuss it with your dad when he comes back." Wu finally relented.
"Okay, then you can call me when you tell your father to buy an altar, I also need a jar there, and I must always prepare a few for back and forth." Autumn color said.
Wu nodded in agreement.
As the two were talking, Ding Sifu on the other side of the door howled again, accompanied by Mrs. Ding's scolding.
"Mother, my back hurts, I can't even move now!"
"Ouch, my poor son! What kind of bad luck are you doing? When I met such a ruthless wolf-hearted cheap girl, I beat you like this and didn't even say anything, no wonder it's a prodigal thing that people ride! Son, come, mother will rub it for you. The scolding clearly reached the ears of Autumn Color.
"Big girl, don't pay attention to them." Wu was afraid that Qiu Shi would be angry and hurriedly persuaded him.
"I'm not angry." Qiu Se said, in fact, she knew in her heart that Mrs. Ding and Ding Sifu meant that they should take the initiative to send some money! However, to send money to someone who has hurt him? She's really not that virgin! "Mother, I'll leave first when I say everything, and when my father comes back, he will take the time to find me."
"Okay, then you can go." Wu listened to Mrs. Ding's scolding and Ding Sifu's wailing and didn't want to leave the autumn color down, so he got up and sent him out.
"Ouch, I don't have a conscience......
Autumn color walked out of the door of Ding's house amid the shouting and scolding of Mrs. Ding.
As soon as Wu sent his eldest daughter away, he turned around and returned to the courtyard, when he saw his mother-in-law standing at the door of the east chamber waiting for him.
"Your precious daughter is gone?" Mrs. Ding asked angrily.
"Gone." Wu replied cautiously.
"Why didn't you follow? Carrying our mother behind our backs all day long, I don't know what to calculate? I'm telling you, you show me who you eat and who lives? If you dare to be careful, I let the boss take a break from you! Mrs. Ding spoke viciously.
Wu didn't dare to respond, and ran into her house with her head down, but her mother-in-law's voice kept drilling into her ears. Wu Shiqi's tears flowed out, but she was helpless, and then she suddenly felt a little envious that Qiu Se could leave this Ding family.
In fact, Qiuse proposed to go to the teahouse to make pickles mainly for the sake of the Wu family, as a pregnant woman should have enough rest time, but the Ding family has Ding Sifu in her, so don't think about raising the fetus! It's just that what do you want to say to Qing Niang when you go back? Autumn color was worried, and after a few contacts, she found that Qing Niang was not as approachable as she felt, but Wu ...... Alas, let's try it, if it really doesn't work, discuss it with Shopkeeper Li and rent him a room.
Autumn color is ready, so I think about going to the market to buy some more beans and come back, so I can make tomorrow's tiger skin beans. As she was walking, a mule cart suddenly stopped in front of her, and before she could look up, she heard a surprised voice, "Sister Qiuse?!" ”
When I saw the autumn color, it turned out to be Gazi who hadn't been seen for many days, "Haven't you been here for a few days?" Why can't I find you twice when I go to the market? ”
Ga Zi said: "I don't sell firewood in the market now. Sister Qiuse, do you have something to do with me? ”
"It's a bit of a problem." Qiu Se asked strangely, "If you don't come to the market, where are you selling firewood?" ”
Gazi said: "I deliver it to the door every day according to the method taught by Sister Qiuse!" ”
"I taught?" Autumn asked in wonder.
"yes, that's what you said when you sold watermelons." Gazi said excitedly: "Now I am in the vicinity of the county government, a dozen bundles of firewood a day are not enough to sell, so according to the previous method of harvesting fruits from the village, to the town to sell a difference, plus my father's bamboo basket and my mother's female red, a lot of money a day!" My father said that he would continue like this, and after the New Year, my family would come back with a mule cart. ”
"Really? Congratulations. Qiu Se suddenly felt sour in her heart, the local poor people have struggled to become a car owner, but she doesn't even have a house that really belongs to her, which is really ruining the identity of the crossing girl.
Gazi continued: "My father said that my family was able to get to this scene thanks to Sister Qiuse, who specially saved eggs for several days and some vegetables grown by the family and sent them to you to express his gratitude. ”
Qiu Se really felt that she was quite ashamed of this thanks, and said with a smile: "Your family has this situation is the result of your own efforts, and I didn't help anything!" ”
"Sister Qiuse, you don't have to be embarrassed, my father and I know it." Gazi pointed to a large bamboo basket on the mule cart and asked, "I don't think you can carry these on your back, so why don't I send them home for you?" As he spoke, he was about to catch a car on East Fourth Street.
"Hey, Gazi, I don't live there now." Autumn Colors hurriedly stopped him.
"Huh?" Ga Zi was stunned, "Isn't that your home?" Sister Qiuse, where do you live now? ”
Qiu Se smiled, and didn't want to say more, "Something happened, I live in a teahouse on the dock now, you come with me, it just so happens that I have something to look for you." ”
Gazi looked at the autumn colors and talked to her while driving the car, "Actually, my father and I also quarreled, and we even went to the mountains to nest for a night!" But then my father almost fell into the hunter's trap because he was looking for me, and I knew I was wrong. Later, when I went home, my mother didn't scold me, and hugged me and cried. ”
Qiu Se couldn't help but want to laugh, is this Gazi persuading himself to be 'a parent who is all in the world'? But his situation is really different from him, first of all, Ding Dafu and Wu are not her real parents in the real sense; Moreover, as far as those people in the Ding family sell their nieces and granddaughters, can they even call their daughters-in-law and sons relatives?
"Sister Qiuse, what are you laughing at? What I'm saying is true. Ga Zi said that he couldn't help but look at her when he saw the autumn color for a long time, but saw that she was pursing her lips and laughing.
"Ah, I know." Autumn cleared her throat and asked, "By the way, I'm looking for you!" Do you have kidney beans or cowpeas at home? How much does it usually cost to sell for a pound? ”
Gazi smiled, "Sister Qiuse wants to eat, what kind of money do you want to talk about!" There are a lot of home-grown things in this basket! You eat it first, and I'll bring it to you in two days. ”
Qiu Se hurriedly shook her head, "I don't want to eat it, I want to sell it, how can I not give money?" ”
"Sell? That thing is not worth much, as long as I can sell more at the county office, but two pennies are also a basket! Ga Zi was saying, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Yes, how can Sister Qiuse only sell beans if she wants to sell?" It must have been made into something else like that can and sold! ”
"Yes, so you can't do without money, I'm just thinking that you can pick it directly from the field to be fresher, and it will be delicious to cook." The autumn colors are not hidden from Gazi.
"Okay, how much does Sister Autumn Colors want? I'll bring you firewood every day when I come to town. Gazi agreed.
Qiu Se calculated in his heart, last time I made that jar of tiger skin beans with less than two catties of kidney beans, this time I want to make two jars, go to the bad quality, how to get five catties, so I told Gazi this number.
"Okay, apart from beans, do you want anything else in autumn?"
"If you have red peppers and green peppers, you can also get a pound, if you have ginger, you can also have some, dry ginger and fresh ginger."
Gazi nodded, "Don't worry, Sister Qiuse, I've written it down, I'll send it to you tomorrow morning." ”
"No, you go about your business first." If you delay Gazi to make money, you will be uneasy in autumn.
"It's okay, Sister Qiuse, I went to the people who went to the clerk's house near the county government office and got up late, so I just came over early. Besides, if you go around this circle first, you might be able to sell more things out! ”
Qiu Se saw that Gazi said that it was not easy to force it, so he responded with a smile: "Okay, just do as you say, but you can't delay your family to buy a car for the New Year!" ”
"Don't worry, I know it! Sister Autumn Color. Gazi stood at the door of the teahouse and grabbed the stiff rope and asked, "Sister Qiuse, can you hold it in yourself?" "Gazi has been to the teahouse and knows that the proprietress here does not like strangers to go in, especially men.
Qiu Shi rolled up her sleeves, "It's okay, you help me take it off, and I'll ask Granny Cai to help me in a while." ”
"Okay then." Gazi unloaded the bamboo basket from the car, and set a time for tomorrow morning to deliver the food, and drove the mule cart away.
Qiu Shi shook his arms and sighed, "This basket doesn't look big, but it's quite weighty!" He stepped forward and knocked on the closed grille, and after a while, Granny Cai came to open the door.
"Where are you going, Qiu Niang, come back in a circle? Yo, and brought back quite a bit. "Granny Cai now finds the autumn colors more and more an eyesore.
"I can't say that I can't take the turn, Qing Niang's appearance is really a romantic character!" Qiu Se said as she spoke: "Granny Cai came to help me move this vegetable basket in, I can cook." ”
Granny Cai, who originally wanted to refuse, heard that Qiu Se was going to cook, so she muttered and went to help, "Qiu Niangzi also said that the cooking will be handed over to you in the future!" This early in the morning, the sun was sunburned and I couldn't get up, and I finally got up and ran away again. ”
For not fulfilling his promise in the past two days, Qiu Se was also a little embarrassed, "I did have something to do in the past two days, you can rest assured that it will not be in the future." By the way, Qing Niang hasn't slept now, right? I have something to look for her. ”
"Qiu Niang, are you back? Come into my house! Qing Niang's voice came from her boudoir.
Autumn Color, who had just walked into the backyard of the teahouse, said, "Okay, I'll come here." ”
