Chapter 10
As soon as she heard the Wei family's property, Mrs. Chen sighed in her heart, this Zhao Meihua really said to her heart, this Wei family is Wei Tianni's daughter, the family has a shop in the town, and the family background, then after she marries, it is all from the Chen family.
Although it is said to be a rich income, there is a banquet in the village and town, which can be regarded as giving the Chen family face.
The Wei family also has concerns, they all know that Chen Zhian is a scholar, and he will not be a big official in the future, so this bit of face still has to be given to the Chen family, otherwise it will be troublesome to calculate the accounts in the future.
Mrs. Chen was very moved when she thought of the shop in Weijia Town, and when the time came, she would just sit and collect money, where did she still need to work in the field, that is, to be a wife.
Zhao Meihua said, "Mother, I think the uncle is also willing, this girl from the Wei family is better than the girl in the village." ”
This girl from the Wei family looks capable and good-looking, and Mrs. Chen still feels that she has face in her heart.
Mrs. Chen couldn't make up her mind about this matter for a while, did this make Chen Zhian into trouble, or did she not agree to such a family matter?
As soon as she thought of not agreeing to this family business, Mrs. Chen immediately vetoed it, where to find such a good in-law, it would be difficult to find it again, the people in the village were either poor or ugly, where was worthy of their own son.
Zhao Meihua instigated vigorously, and Mrs. Chen was finally moved, but for the sake of face, Mrs. Chen said, "I have to think about this matter, and I have to let your father know." ”
Zhao Meihua already knew what Mrs. Chen was thinking in her heart, and Mrs. Chen agreed when she said this.
"Mother, this is a big deal, it's all up to you to make a decision." Zhao Meihua said, "Our whole family can count on you." ”
Mrs. Chen's face looked much better, "Okay, okay, hurry up and cook, where are the big dragons and the second dragons." ”
"The two of them have already run out to play, and if they are not hungry, they will not come back, and they will be beaten all day long." Zhao Meihua thought of the two sons' clothes the same color as the dirt, so she couldn't wait to beat them by the ears.
Mrs. Chen said, "They are male babies, how good it is to have fun, don't talk so much every day, my Chen family's grandson can do whatever he likes." ”
Zhao Meihua pursed her lips, this old lady usually loves her two grandsons, and she naturally won't forget to hit it, that is, to find death.
Zhuang Xiaodie's younger brother came to knock on the door and told Zhuang Xiaodie that she was going back, so she got up to leave.
"I'll come back to see you another day." Zhuang Xiaodie said.
Chen Qingmei nodded, "Go slowly, don't send it." ”
After Zhuang Xiaodie left, Chen Qingmei and Jiang Xiangyun packed up the dishes and chopsticks, washed the water and prepared to sleep.
"Eldest sister, why do you say that I brought all these things?" Jiang Xiangyun asked. "Didn't you buy it?"
Chen Qingmei said, "This money was left to me by my mother when she was dying, and I used it to buy it, and if I want to say that I bought it, Fluttershy will come back and ask for money, so you brought it here." ”
"I see." Jiang Xiangyun nodded, "Why did Sister Fluttershy tell your grandmother, don't you just say no?" ”
"It's not that she said, you think, as soon as she goes back, her grandmother and her mother will definitely ask about the situation and talk about it, and even if Fluttershy doesn't tell my grandmother, even her father and grandmother will definitely tell the people in the village, and the coming and going will definitely reach my grandmother's ears, and the village is only so big, and if you look down and don't look up, you will definitely know soon."
"So that's the case, it's better for the eldest sister to be more thoughtful." Jiang Xiangyun said, "I'll wash this bowl of chopsticks." ”
"No need, put it here, wait for tomorrow morning to wash together, now it's dark." Chen Qingmei said, "Let's wash and sleep first, and wait for tomorrow to do things at dawn." ”
"Okay."
Sure enough, as Chen Qingmei expected, on the way back to Zhuang Xiaodie, her grandmother asked about Chen Qingmei.
"Qingmei now lives with her cousin, and her cousin brought some rice and noodles, and the two of them have some to eat." Zhuang Xiaodie said.
Zhuang Xiaodie's grandmother, Mrs. Wang, said, "I'll just say, this girl hasn't run back to Chen's house yet, it turns out that there is food, so why did her cousin come over again." ”
"Her cousin, who has no father or mother, came to join Qingmei."
"I think it's Chen Qingmei's girl who has been stained with her cousin's light, otherwise she would have starved to death in that thatched hut." Mrs. Wang said, "Did her cousin bring all the family property?" ”
"Her cousin doesn't have any property." Zhuang Xiaodie shook her head, "I just brought a little rice and noodles, and I can only eat it for a few days." ”
Mrs. Wang pouted, "I thought Chen Qingmei was lucky, but it turned out that she was still a drag oil bottle, that is, she starved to death a few days early and starved to death a few days later." ”
Chen Qingmei sat on the bed after washing, flipped through the book with a flashlight, and the book was still turned out of the most inconspicuous small box in the space, I don't know when it was put in.
This book teaches how to adjust rouge and so on, Chen Qingmei was not interested in it before, but now she is a little interested, in her opinion, it may be possible to make money here.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Jiang Xiangyun also took a flashlight into the house and closed the door.
"I'm reading." Chen Qingmei closed the book, "Let's go to the town tomorrow to have a look, buy something and come back, candles must be bought, and buy more when the time comes." ”
"I heard that candles are not cheap, and large families can afford them, so we usually use lamp oil." Jiang Xiangyun said.
"Let's go check it out first, and we'll talk about it then." Chen Qingmei said, "We also have to buy something." ”
"Well, I listen to my eldest sister."
The next morning, Chen Qingmei baked a few cakes, brushed them with sauce, rolled them with stir-fried vegetables, and ate them alive with Jiang Xiangyun, and then went out with a bamboo basket on her back.
The two of them walked to the town, and if they needed money for an ox cart ride, they could save a little.
Chen Qingmei found two jade pendants in the space, and she didn't know how much money they could be.
They were a little farther away from the town, and it was an hour and a half away on foot.
The two men walked around and rested, and waited until noon to get to the town.
"Two bowls of ravioli." Chen Qingmei sat on the stall and put the bamboo basket aside, "Let's take a bite and pad first, and we'll be gone all morning." ”
Jiang Xiangyun didn't feel tired, she was staring at the town now, she was so big, she hadn't been to the town yet.
"And the bread, just eat it with the wontons first." Chen Qingmei took out the baked cake in the morning and tore it open into the wonton soup.
The wontons here are very realistic, a big bowl full, but the wontons are wild vegetables inside, and there is only a little bit of meat foam.
"You eat slowly here, I'll go elsewhere, you wait for me here." Chen Qingmei instructed, "Don't run around. ”
