Volume 1 Chapter 54 Picking Melons

looked at them, and then looked at his house, Qiao Xi was a little troubled, five people came at once, how to live here, it doesn't matter during the day, what can I do at night.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Furong saw that Qiao Xi suddenly remained silent, so she asked.

"Narcissus, you stay and prepare the dinner for the evening, and you guys will come with me to town." Two rooms can still be lived in, it seems that the construction of a house has to be put on the agenda, otherwise when the eldest brother comes back, there will be no crowding.

"Yes, girl."

"Which of you can drive a carriage?" There are a lot of people, and the carriage has to be bought, but fortunately, now she has money in her hands, and she originally thought that she would buy it after a while, but the plan can't keep up with the rapid changes.

"Both." All five replied at the same time.

"Okay, let's go." Grandpa Lin will have to pick up the little brother later, this ox cart can't be borrowed anymore, the five of them can only go on foot, but fortunately, they all know martial arts, and this little road is just a piece of cake for them.

The five of them didn't need to walk at all, they left Qiaojia Village, and when there were no pedestrians on the road, they were lucky, and after a while, they appeared in the town.

Although the town is not very big, there should be everything, first went to the place where livestock was bought and sold, there is only one family here that sells carriages, watch the horses, Qiao Xi is a layman, but the four of them are all insiders, the so-called laymen look at the lively insiders to watch the doorway, that's the reason.

Under Furong's look, Qiao Xi finally chose a strong horse, the horse and the carriage cost a total of thirty taels, after the carriage was installed, Lily personally drove, clothes, quilts, cotton wool, pots and pans, and grain, little by little to the carriage, and finally they went to the meat stall and bought a bunch of meat back. After finishing these, it was already a little late, and the five of them went home.

Qiao Bai, as in the past, was picked up by Qiao Siye every day, and today was no exception, after Grandpa Lin sent him to the door, he drove the ox cart home.

Qiao Bai pushed open the door and walked home, "Sister, I'm back." As usual, he stepped through the door and began to shout Qiao Xi.

Only this time it was not his sister Qiao Xi who responded to him, but a strange woman who was walking towards him.

Qiao Bai was stunned all of a sudden, "You~~ Who are you?" How can it be in my house? ”

"You're a little boy, my name is Narcissus." Narcissus had a faint smile on her face, like a spring breeze blowing.

"Little boy, you called the wrong person. What about my sister? Qiao Bai was frightened by her title, and instantly stared at the man named Narcissus with wide eyes.

This person is so strange, how can he call him a little boy, he must have recognized the wrong person.

"The girl is not here, little boy, are you hungry? Would you like to eat something. Narcissus continued to speak gently.

"No...... No, thank you, I'll go back to my room first. After saying that, Qiao Bai ran past Narcissus and closed the door with a bang. Leaning his back on it, he slid to the ground and sat down, his hands tightly tugging on the straps of his school bag, gasping for air.

Narcissus blinked, was she that scary? She didn't do anything to him, how could she run faster than a rabbit.

Touching her chin, well, it's too sudden, it's normal to be scared, she better go and prepare dinner, girls they can eat when they come back.

Looking back, Narcissus turned around and went into the kitchen, which was quite complete, probably because of the small population, only a few pairs of bowls and chopsticks.

When Qiao Xi and the others returned to Qiaojia Village, they could already see curling smoke coming out of her house.

The gate was big enough, and Lily drove the carriage directly through the gate into the house.

Hearing the sound, Qiao Bai hurriedly ran out of the house, looked at the carriage that appeared in front of him in a daze, and then got down from the carriage one by one, including his sister, there were a total of five people, when he went out in the morning, there was only one sister in the family, why did a day pass, there were so many people in the family inexplicably? Who are they?

"Sister...... Sister, who are they? ”

"Was she scared, does she remember?" Qiao Xi got out of the carriage, came to the little brother's side, rubbed the top of his hair, and pointed to Furong and asked.

Qiao Bai looked left and right, raised his head, and looked at Qiao Xi, "She is Ah Lai." "If you don't look closely, he really doesn't see it. Hasn't Ah Lai been gone for a long time, why did he appear at his house again? "Sister, isn't Ah Lai gone? So what is she here for? He only met Ah Lai a few times, and in those days, she stayed in his sister's house, and basically never went out of the house, and the few times he saw her were all to help her deliver food, otherwise he would not have remembered it for a long time.

"She stayed in our house and was part of our family. And they too. Qiao Xi didn't say anything big to his younger brother, he wouldn't understand it when he was young.

"Oh, what am I going to call them?" He understood what his sister meant, no wonder the narcissus just now called him a little son, it turned out that they would be the descendants of the family in the future.

"What do you think?" Qiao Xi asked rhetorically.

"En~~~" Qiao Bai thought for a while and said, "Then call my sister." ”

"Little boy, if you can't afford it, just call your name. My name is Furong now, not Ah Lai, don't call me wrong in the future. Fleur said with a smile.

"Sister Fleur." Qiao Bai then set his eyes on the rose next to Hibiscus, and the rose was as good as a stream.

"My name is Rose."

"Sister Rose."

"My name is Lily."

"Sister Lily."

"My name is Peony."

"Sister Peony."

"Little boy, what about me." At this time, Narcissus happened to be pacing to their side.

"Sister Narcissus." Qiao Bai called out Narcissus sweetly.

"Girl, the meal is ready, do you want to start the meal now?"

"Eat first, and then unload the wagon." Usually this is the time for them to eat, and no one will move the things on the carriage, and the same is true for them to move after eating.

"Yes."

Qiao Xi led her younger brother to the hall, and Furong and the others walked towards the kitchen, and the five of them put the food on the table in the hall.

"Sit down and eat together." Qiao Xi pointed to the position on the side and said.

"Girl, this is not in order." Furong and they refused, and the master and servant respected and humbled them, and they still clearly understood, how could there be a reason for being a servant girl to dine with the master's family, even if the girl was kind-hearted, they couldn't go up the pole.

"Sister." Qiao Bai gently tugged at Qiao Xi's clothes, Qiao Xi glanced at her younger brother, well, she didn't think it through.

"You don't have to stay here, you can go eat too." He lowered his head and added some vegetables to his brother's bowl, and then he took the bowl and began to eat it himself.

"Lord~~Fu~~ Furong, did the girl go out to buy daily necessities such as dishes and chopsticks?" Narcissus almost called Fleur the master again, but fortunately she closed it quickly, otherwise she would have been in trouble.

"Yes, let's go, let's move the things off the car first and then eat." The more people there are, the faster they can pick up things, and it's too late to eat after tidying up.

After dinner, Qiao Xi moved his things to the eldest brother and younger brother's room, vacated his own house, and left Lily, Rose, Narcissus and Lily to live in, as for Furong, Qiao Xi directly asked her to live with her, eldest brother, their room is big, the bed is also big, and the three of them can sleep if they are squeezed.

As for how the four people in her house were to be divided, it was their own business, and she didn't care.

After allocating the room, Qiao Xi told the five of them about something, someone would come here early tomorrow morning to pull watermelons, so they had to get up early to pick the watermelons in the field.

Furong and the others have been traveling south and north for many years, and they have seen a lot, so they know about watermelons, but they don't have a chance to taste them, and when they hear Qiao Xi say that she has watermelons here, they all think that there is something wrong with their ears and they have auditory hallucinations.

"Girl, is it really a watermelon?"

"That's nature, if you don't believe it, tomorrow you can see for yourselves, or pick one and taste it." She's not so stingy, she grows it at home anyway, and she eats it.

"Can we eat it too?"

"Of course, everyone can eat it. It's not a precious thing. ”

"Thank you, girl."

"Let's all go and rest, we have to get up early."

"It's a girl."

The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, Fleur and the others got up, boiled water, made breakfast, and by the time Qiao Xi woke up, they were already waiting in the hall.

"Early."

"Morning, girl."

"Let's go eat first, eat something good, and we'll go pick watermelons."

This time Su Cheng came over, there was one more carriage, but he was worried that a carriage was not enough, seeing a basket of watermelons stacked at the door, Su Cheng laughed, who let him have the pleasure of tasting such a small piece yesterday, the red melon bag is sweet and delicious, and I want to eat it.

The ten watermelons that Miss Qiao brought yesterday were not enough points at all, and those few outsiders almost fought for watermelons, and then the shopkeeper came forward and said that there would be one after another tomorrow, so they gave up, otherwise they would really fight directly, this is probably the first fight in history to eat, and it is not disgraceful to say it. Thinking of that scene yesterday, he couldn't help but want to laugh, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like something was done by someone with status.

"Brother Su, what are you laughing at?" Qiao Xi stood at the door and saw Su Cheng staring at the basket of watermelons and smirking, so he asked directly.

"Last night, I almost got into a fight over watermelons."

"That's an exaggeration." It's not an elixir, this can still fight, isn't it a bit exaggerated.

"It's not an exaggeration, it's true."

can fight for watermelons in the town, so if this is transported to the county seat, she can imagine the scene herself, and it is not an exaggeration.

"Miss Qiao, who are these girls?" Could that be the handmaid she bought?

"My handmaiden. In the future, it will basically be up to them to come forward. ”

"Oh, I'll tell the shopkeeper." This is even used by the subordinates, it seems that this day is really good, but that is also her ability. He can't envy him, and now his life is not bad, and his salary has risen a lot, which is also a blessing for her.

"Yes."
