Huaxi Village is built along the river, and there is a vast and fertile land on both sides of the river.

Since the people surnamed Li joined, many people with foreign surnames have moved in and settled in successively, and now it is a big village in the surrounding villages.

In order to facilitate the food, clothing and transportation of the villagers, every other day, there will be a market here, the market is not far from Huaxi Village, over a mountain road, two quarters of an hour away.

Although the bazaar is not as lively and prosperous as Li County, it is also full of organs.

In order to save some money, many villagers in the village will take their agricultural goods to the market to sell, and over time, some mud houses and straw shops have been built on both sides of the market, and some shops selling groceries will open even if the market is closed.

Yesterday, Li Yuan followed his father into the mountains to hunt, caught a huge boar, and gave her a hind leg.

With so much meat, she thought about making it into dry meat, otherwise how could it stay for a long time in such weather?

As soon as I entered the village, I met the Yang family who was carrying the burden.

She glanced at the big bag of things Zhao Mo was holding in her arms, and her eyes flashed: "Sister Mo'er, is this here to catch up with the market?" ”

Zhao Mo responded coldly.

"Yo, what's that? How do you buy so much? Yang was surprised.

Zhao Mo only smiled and did not respond.

Yang is known in the village for his big mouth.

The last time she went to the city to sell dolls, she accidentally saw that she was in Li Yuan's car again, and asked a few words, but turned her head and leaked the news, and now the village says that she took Li Yuan's mother's line and went to the city to exchange money as a female celebrity.

For such people, it is better to talk less.

What she didn't know was that even if she didn't talk to her, Yang would be able to pinch something out with her own open brain.

No, after pouring the ground, she took the basket and went to find Zhao Mo's aunt Liu, and brought out what happened just now.

"I see, Sister Mo must have made a lot of money, such a big bag of things! She squeaked and avoided answering, I think it must be a good thing! It's bulging, and it's all heavy! If it's food and clothing and something like that, their family is only three and a half years old, how can they stand so much? ”

Yang gestured with his hands, his eyes slightly protruding from excitement.

When Liu heard this, his face sank, and the corners of his mouth still had a smile on his lips: "Our jasmine girl is also a hard worker, and it is not easy for the third child and their family to rely on her now." ”

She secretly sighed in her heart, the female workers made by the Meng family themselves can only be sold for a few pennies, and Sister Mo doesn't understand, how many dollars can she sell?

Otherwise, how could the people in the village say that Yang's mouth is a deceitful ghost!

"Alas, it's not easy and true, but I heard that girl plans to send Brother Rong to study at Mr. Lin!"

"What?" Liu Shi was taken aback, frowned and asked, "Studying is a big deal!" Are you sure? ”

It's also Yang's old problem.

Yang loves to listen to gossip, usually can't hide her words, what comes out of her mouth is three true and three false, so the people who talk to her are also half hidden and half hidden, who wants to really have a heart-to-heart relationship with her?

"Isn't that nonsense! I saw that girl come out of Mr. Zhao's courtyard with my own eyes! ”

Seeing that she said without hesitation and solemnly, then it may be true!

Liu secretly hated himself, his two husbands and wives were tired and tired to provide for Brother Hong'er, and they had to pay a tael of silver to Mr. Guanglin's Shu Xiu! Where did she get the money?

What's more, although Brother Rong is only ten years old, he is the most affordable laborer in the third room, he went to study, what should he do with the family's land? Don't want his land?

Thinking that the Yang family said just now that he saw Zhao Mo selling female workers, he felt that Zhao Mo must be promising, and he could even take out a bundle of silver repairs!

With money, she can't plough the land, so naturally she doesn't want the land......

As they said, Zhao Mo was indeed planning to send Zhao Rong to study in a private school at this time.

But she doesn't have any money in her hand, a tael of silver is a thousand yuan, and she hasn't even saved half of it now, so this matter has to be pushed back.

"Sister, I'm not going to study." Zhao Rong walked up to her with a distressed face.

In the past few days, in order to save money to send him to study, his sister embroidered under the oil lamp every day until the second watch, if he studied in exchange for his sister's health, he would rather not!

Zhao Mo, who was interrupted, put down the embroidery in his hand, looked up at Yuan Dai outside the courtyard, and relaxed his eyes.

Then he gently touched his head and said with a smile: "Don't you envy Brother Hong for carrying a bookbag to study every day?" As long as my sister takes this embroidery and sells it, let alone sending you to study, she can marry a lady and come back! ”

Zhao Rong's little face, which was teased, turned red, and he said angrily: "I don't want to marry a lady!" Sister will embroider if you want to embroider! ”

After saying that, he turned around and ran out.

"Sister, don't be angry with your brother! My brother is a distressed sister. Zhao Li said crisply, and she hurriedly added after speaking, "I also feel sorry for my sister." ”

Zhao Mo was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Li, who had already embroidered well, and her heart was warm.

How could she not see it?

Zhao Rong makes dolls every time she does it fast and exquisitely, Zhao Li is only seven years old, it is the time when she is naughty and active, she thought that she just felt that the novelty of playing for a few days was too strong, but who knew that she could pick up the embroidery needle and sit all day, not at all like casual play.

She sees all of this!

"Little girl, ghost elf!" She flicked her finger to her forehead and stood up with a smile.

"I'll go and see how the meat is marinated, and you can also go to the courtyard to play, don't always stare at the needle and thread, and hurt your eyes carefully."

The cured meat she makes is not just salted and dried, but put in the darkroom to make cured bacon. The process is complex, especially to grasp the heat of each process.

As soon as I stepped out of the house, I saw a thin woman push open the door of her house and walked in, she was wearing a blue and white skirt and a headscarf of the same color on her head. ”

"Auntie?" She wondered, "What's the matter with the eldest aunt coming to the door?" ”

"I heard that you were cured a long time ago, and I wanted to come to see you earlier, but I always saw you busy outside, and I saw you smoking on the roof, thinking that you were at home now, so I came here now."

Liu stepped forward and wanted to pull her over to take a good look, but was dodged by Zhao Mo.

Who says she's out there all day? Apparently she has been staying at home! I don't want to find a better reason to come to the door.

Zhao Mo looked indifferent: "Uncle Xie cares, I'm fine." ”

Her indifferent attitude did not hit Liu, but smiled more kindly: "I just said that our Mo girl is the most blessed person, how can it be so easy to lie down?" ”

She didn't want to talk to her more, so she asked bluntly: "Auntie, please tell me if you have something." ”

Liu Shi was taken by her sudden momentum, and was a little stunned for a while, secretly surprised, although this girl was usually direct, she had never been so scary. Could it be that the brain that hit last time was not complete?

She said while thinking: "Mo girl, isn't this spring ploughing right away?" I'm here to discuss with you about renting an official cow. ”

In the past, three families paid for renting cattle together, one family paid ten yuan, and thirty yuan could rent for five days. If it is rented by a single person, the poor official cattle will cost at least 70 yuan a day, which is really not cost-effective.

Zhao Mo paused and asked, "I don't know what the eldest aunt thinks?" ”

When Liu saw her take the bait, he was overjoyed, but he still had a caring look on his face.

"I originally wanted to rent it from the previous three families, but this year, your second uncle injured his leg and foot, and I'm afraid that it is not suitable for sharing a house anymore. Otherwise, if we share a house with the two families, you are still so young, you must not know how to plow the land, and then your family's land will be ploughed by your uncle. It's just the money for renting the official cow......"

It stands to reason that according to Liu's method, it is not bad, and he rented cattle at his own expense for them to help plow well.

It's not that she can't afford the thirty yuan, but based on the experience that the third room was pitted much by the big house and the second room, she intuitively knew that there was a trick in Liu's words.

"I don't know how many days the eldest aunt wants to rent an official cow? How much does it cost? When can I finish plowing the field? Plough to what extent? ”

She asked a few questions in a row, which made Liu's eyes widen in an instant.

Don't look at these questions as usual, they actually get to the point. She was supposed to delay a few more days and ask for more money on her.

Who knew that she had found the key at once!

"When you look at it, you know that you are blind in the field! You think, it's raining, we can't go to the ground, right? There is a shortage of water in the field, so you have to wait until you have enough water before plowing, right? Therefore, it depends on God's will to rent a few days and when to plow the field. ”

Liu explained kindly, and looked at her again, "Could it be that the girl is worried that her aunt will cheat you out of your money?" ”
