Volume 1 Chapter 38 Xiao Comes to the Door
"I know, I've been on guard." How could she casually expose such an important secret.
As for being discovered by them today, it was really a pure accident. She had obviously investigated just now, but there was no one around, and no one expected them to suddenly run out and catch her off guard, which was her confession to them.
"If you know, it's good." This matter is very important, this is about the three of them, his sister is relieved, and his younger brother is really a little unassured, "Little brother, can't you tell this kind of thing?" Otherwise, you'll kill your sister. You don't want anything to happen to your sister, do you? ”
"Big brother, sister, don't worry, kill me, I won't say it." How could he go out and talk nonsense.
"Big brother, don't scare the little brother. He's very well-behaved. Qiao Xi rubbed the top of his head lovingly, and said with a smile, I didn't dare to say it at first, but now that the family knows and knows, there is no need to hide things secretly in the future, and the feeling of being bright is comfortable.
"If you don't talk about this, you don't have it. Forget the best. "It's said that he has forgotten, but he knows that he can't forget it, and he can't say that in the future, the little sister will take it directly in front of him and the little brother.
Qiao Bai nodded in agreement.
"It's definitely impossible to forget, and I won't have to hide in the future." Qiao Xi said with a grin.
"I knew it was going to be like this. Can you only know it at home? ”
"Of course, you won't be out there."
"Little sister, why did you buy so many things?" The contents of this basket are really miscellaneous, how can there be everything.
"Only the pork, pork intestine and pork bones were bought by me, and the rest were given by the villagers." Speaking of these things, Qiao Xi also looked helpless, she didn't want it, but it was difficult to be gracious, and it was not good to be too enthusiastic. She just agreed to teach them about herbs.
In the final analysis, the temptation of money is great, and for it, I am really willing to do anything.
"Who sent it?" When did Xiaomei have such a good relationship with the people in the village? He didn't know anything.
"The village that came back together is next to each other."
"How could they send you something for no reason?" Qiao Song was a little skeptical.
"I'm not going to sell herbs today, I sold some money, probably someone saw it, and on the car back, Aunt Xiao asked me, I can't say no, I didn't expect her to be cheeky and let me teach her to recognize herbs, I thought I still don't offend people, so I agreed, so ...... You saw it too. Qiao Xi spread his hands as he spoke, looking helpless.
"Can we still pick herbs?" Isn't it true that teaching others has cut off their own financial routes, so what will they do in the future? The business with Juxian Lou will expire in only half a month. My sister has a little money in her hand, and if she doesn't have a way to make money, this money will last for a few years at most.
"Of course you can, I only teach them to recognize the most common ones, these are not valuable, I can find valuable ones to sell." This is not up to her, she will not care about the petty profits, so that she can win the attention of the villagers to their home.
"Really?" As long as you keep making money, it's fine.
"Of course, I don't lie to you. Didn't my mother teach me embroidery, you know, my mother's craftsmanship is very good, I thought if I tried to embroider something to sell, I can also exchange some money. "She had planned to pick herbs and sell them, but now that she was being begged for them so cheekily, she could only do something that could make money.
When she learned embroidery with her mother, she had already begun to provide styles for her mother, and those styles sold well, so her own embroidery should not be bad.
"It's not good for the eyes, you embroider less." He knows his mother's craftsmanship, otherwise he won't be able to spend enough money by relying on his father's constraints, and a lot of money in the family is exchanged for his mother's embroidery, and he can also have three or four taels in the account every month. Xiaomei has been learning from his mother since she was five years old, and she is also a little successful.
It's just that embroidery hurts her eyes after all, even if she has a lot of money, he doesn't want her to hurt her eyes desperately.
"I don't know if it will work out yet, but with this idea, I will pay attention to the combination of work and rest." It's too early to say anything, and only when the embroidery is sold and exchanged for money can it be considered a success.
"What do you want to make that acre of land? Like the rest of the piece, make it into small pieces like tofu. Qiao Song had already turned over half an acre of land this time, but he forgot to ask his sister what he wanted to make, so he put it there.
Qiao Xi didn't answer the eldest brother's question right away, her mind turned, she must implement the matter of farming, otherwise this ability will be wasted, and it is definitely impossible to grow vegetables, but now there is only one acre of land available, and finally she decided, "Big brother, you can help me divide this acre of land into eight small pieces, I want to grow some different vegetables, which can be eaten instead." ”
"Okay, I'll fix it for you tomorrow."
Early the next morning, before Qiao Xi and the others got up, they heard a knock on the door.
Qiao Xi opened her sleepy eyes, got dressed and got out of bed to open the door, and saw the big brother on the opposite side The door of their room was also opened, and the eldest brother was coming out of it, and the two of them looked at each other at the door, thinking of yesterday's events.
"Little sister, I'm going to boil water, you go open the door." After Qiao Song said a word to Qiao Xi, he turned around and went into the kitchen.
"Here we are."
"Oh, it's early, haven't you had breakfast? My aunt brought you some. As he spoke, Xiao handed the food he had prepared early in the morning to Qiao Xi.
"Uh, auntie so early?" Qiao Xi looked at the steamed buns in his hand with some embarrassment.
"I wanted to come after I went back last year, but I'm afraid it's too late, so I'm embarrassed to come and disturb, I can't help it when I get up this morning, so I'm not here." Xiao Shi is a thick-skinned person, but he can still talk about it, and he knows how to bring them some food when he looks at her door this morning.
"Hehe, if my aunt has something to say, just say it." Qiao Xi laughed dryly twice, and it was also straightforward. Anyway, she had already told her eldest brother yesterday that they wanted her to teach her, but she was a child after all, and even if she knew herbs, she couldn't know a lot, at most it was something that was commonly seen, so some things still had to be said clearly, so as not to make some unhappy things when she got it.
"You know that my aunt is a straightforward person, and there is nothing that I can't wipe my face, I just want to ask if what you said yesterday counts?" Xiao is really as straight as she said, without a word.
"Auntie is talking about this, of course it counts, but auntie, there are some things I still have to say, lest you say that I am hiding something in the future?" Qiao Xi doesn't go around in circles with her, you want to learn from me, but you can't pass.
"Say, auntie, listen."
"Actually, it's nothing, even if I know herbal medicine, it's also thanks to the books left by my father, but only a few of my father's books are related to herbal medicine, and it happens that I have drawn pictures, otherwise I wouldn't know them, but I only know so many, and there are no more, so you can't trouble me because of herbs in the future." She didn't want them to take revenge in the future.
"This is natural, you can teach me, I am already grateful enough, how can I trouble you again." She's just a child, it's good to know some, how can she know everything? Unless she's a doctor, but how could that happen?
"Auntie, don't blame me, I'm also here to protect my family."
"Auntie understands, understands. But you have done this thing, and your eldest brother is ...... Can you agree? Although Qiao Xi agreed to teach her, it seems that Qiao Song is in charge of this family, and he is willing to hand over the money.
"Auntie, my little sister has already told me about this yesterday, and I don't object to it. I just hope that you will trouble us for the herbs in the future. "The voiceover is, since my little sister has taught you to know herbal medicine, let you use herbal medicine to supplement your family, don't become a white-eyed wolf in the future and say that they are not.
"Hey, no, no, no." Because of the herbal matter, the Xiao family got closer to the Qiao family, gained a lot of benefits, and the days were getting better and better.
"Auntie, don't worry, after taking my little sister to breakfast, I will go to your house and ask her to take you up the mountain to teach you to identify herbs, but everyone who came back in an ox cart together yesterday knows about it, so I can't just teach you a family......" If you say it, the water that is spilled out can't be recovered, so Qiao Song directly talked about his family's difficulties.
"Auntie understands, understands, how can auntie blame you......" Xiao thanked again and again, and blamed herself for not covering her mouth yesterday, and she mentioned it on the ox cart with a big grin, she still doesn't know who the people on the ox cart are, so Qiao Xi can teach, so they can make so much spare money, and she will be content with a little relaxation in her hands.
"Then I'll go back first, I'll trouble you."
"No hassle. You walk slowly, and I'll be over in a moment. ”
After sending Xiao away, Qiao Xi ate the steamed buns brought by Xiao with white water to fill his stomach. She dared to promise that someone would come to her house again in a while, so after sending Xiao away, she didn't close the door, which was convenient for the people who came later, and it was also convenient for her to herself, not to open the door once, this job was also quite tiring.
"Little sister, I'll go cook some porridge."
"No, I don't need to cook breakfast today, just eat this." Maybe someone will bring them something to eat later.
"Then I'll go and get my little brother up."
As soon as Qiao Song entered the house, a few more people came to the door of their house one after another, standing at the door, you pushed me and didn't want to be the first to go in.
Qiao Xi took a look with her spare eyes and skimmed the corners of her mouth, so it seems that Xiao Shi is more pleasing to the eye, this is the benefit of thick skin, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it, she sometimes does not do the same for her own family, thinking about it this way, Xiao Shi is not bad.
