Chapter 68: Small Business

Chen Da Chen Er naturally waved his hand and refused, how could he help Qingxue have to eat a meal, if the villagers knew about it, they were afraid that they would say that their family had taken advantage.

Pucao is not reluctant, he lives close to the left and right, and the days of returning favor are long.

There were already five or six little daughters-in-law sitting in the house of the Zhang family in the front yard, this one wearing a flower jacket and the other wearing a red skirt, which looked like a cluster of flowers at a glance. Occasionally, when I talk about something funny, one person says a word, chatters, and I hate to lift the roof with a loud laugh, which is really lively.

Chunni was taking the box with melon seeds, handing them one by one to grab and eat, and when she saw Pucao coming in, she smiled and said, "If you don't come back, I'll turn out all the delicious food in your house and share it with everyone." ”

Pu Cao smiled and waved her hand, "You can't find it, I'm hiding it tightly." ”

"You're not going to be stuffed into a rat hole, are you?" Chunni deliberately quipped.

"Huh," Pu Cao asked, widening her eyes as if in amazement, "how do you know?" It's hiding in the rat boss's bed. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, pointed at the two of them and said, "I originally thought that Chunni's temperament was lively enough, but I didn't expect that Pucao girl was even more than her." ”

"That's it, that's it, in the future, we have to come and walk around often, and keep it until we laugh every day until our stomach hurts."

Pu Cao stepped forward to say hello to everyone, then went into the house and rummaged through it, and really took half a box of peanuts out. Chunni picked up a few peanut kernels and threw them into her mouth, praising her, "The peanuts fried in this big pot are fragrant!" ”

Pu Cao smiled, "This was just taken out of the rat's nest, don't you dislike it?" ”

"Hmph," Chunni glared at her, deliberately raised her chin and said vividly, "You want to disgust me, let me eat less, I won't be fooled." ”

Everyone naturally laughed again, and a little daughter-in-law wearing a flower jacket said, "Pucao girl's vision is good, I also bought two catties of peanuts and fruits last year to buy New Year's goods, but when I came home, most of them were deflated particles, and I was really deceived." ”

"That's it, there are a lot of street vendors in the city who make a lot of black money."

Everyone gossiped and gossiped, and I don't know who mentioned that there was no salt at home first, so they turned to beg Pucao to help bring some back when they went into the city to deliver vegetables.

Pu Cao guessed that their family was not really in a hurry to use these items, and most of them were using this matter as an excuse, hoping to get acquainted with her more in the future, so she smiled and said, "The restaurant said that it would send someone to pick up the food in two days, so I don't have to brave the wind and snow to send it to the city." If the sisters-in-law are not in a hurry to use it, just wait for me to make a list, and then give it to the guy who picks up the food, and ask him to bring it back when he comes to the door next time. ”

Sure enough, everyone responded one after another, and then complained that the heavy snow closed the road and couldn't go into the city to go shopping. The little daughter-in-law of the Li family, who lives in the south of the village, remembered her mother's mountain pass, so she smiled and said, "You can be content, our Nangouer is not far from the city, there is really something to enter the city, and it will take a little more effort to walk for a day."

My mother's place is really remote, and every winter the heavy snow has to close the mountain for five months, and very few people enter and leave, even if there is silver, it can't be spent. ”

A little daughter-in-law who was familiar with her on a daily basis glared at her and said angrily, "Your mother's house is not bad except for the remoteness." But how can anyone who can hunt go into the mountains once he can carry a fox back, that is, the women pick a fungus and mushroom or hunt hazelnuts and pine towers in autumn, and send them to the city to change some private houses. It's like we do needlework all night and night, and we only save a hundred and ten dollars all year round. ”

The little daughter-in-law of the Li family also felt that it made sense when she heard this, so she smiled and said, "Well, that's right." God knows in his heart that no village can take advantage of all the benefits. ”

Pu Cao sat on the side, her subordinates helped Chunni with the embroidery thread, listening to their conversation, but always felt vaguely trying to grasp something, but the more she thought about it, the more she got nothing. She had to let go of this inexplicable thought, and instead asked when the Li family in the west of the village would set up wine.

Li Siye is the oldest person in the village, although he is quiet on weekdays, he is a decent person, and he is very respected by the villagers. This year coincides with the sixty-sixth @ birthday, and the three sons are celebrating their father, and each family naturally wants to come to the door to congratulate.

Farmer weddings and funerals do not need to give each other any valuables, but a handful of mushrooms, a letter of snacks and the like. But the main thing is that people are present. Women help to make food, men drink water and gossip, the more lively the main house, the more face-saving.

Pu Cao fiddled with the two hats of "abandoned woman" and "widow" on her head for a long time, which one is not good to wear to the door, after all, it is a festive scene, people just don't want to say disgust to her face, she also has to be conscious? It just so happens that she doesn't like people to be noisy, so let Zhang Gui be the representative then.

The little daughters-in-law sat for most of the hour, and when they saw noon, they left and went back. Pucao sent them to the gate of the courtyard, and smiled and invited them to sit again at their leisure.

The little daughters-in-law Xu really regarded her as a close person, and they were not polite, and responded happily, "If there is good food, keep it every day." ”

Seeing that they were so hearty, Pu Cao also took off a little guard in his heart, and smiled more seriously.

Seeing the little daughter-in-law walking away, and the footprints were gradually covered by the wind and snow, Pucao couldn't help but raise her head and exhale a long breath, feeling more and more that this world was pure and beautiful. Although these villagers are inevitably a little cautious, compared to those who are fighting and guarding against each other all the time in modern times, they are still much more honest and cute...

Chunni lit a fire in the stove and washed the cauldron, and waited for a long time but didn't see Pucao come back. So he lay down at the door to look, and when he saw her stupid appearance, he shouted, "Why don't you come in?" Be careful of the wind blowing and get a headache, and you have to go into the city to grab medicine. ”

I didn't want this sentence to wake up Pucao, she suddenly slapped her face and jumped up, and said happily, "That's right, that's it!" ”

Chunni was so shocked by her that she almost dropped the water scoop in her hand, and asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about?" ”

Pu Cao didn't have time to talk to her in detail, so she threw down a sentence, "I'll go to the West Courtyard first, and I'll be back in a while." After saying that, he opened the courtyard door and ran out.

"What are you in a hurry, I'll go after dinner." Chunni shouted twice, but unfortunately Pucao had already run away, and she had to cook lunch while guessing.

The Chen family eats two meals, and this meal in the afternoon usually waits until the end of the day. Fu'er and Fat Dun'er couldn't bear to be hungry when they were young, so they nibbled on the bread cakes while dipping the shallots in the sauce, fooling their little stomachs.

Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen sat on the bench, I don't know what to say, and their faces are a little bad.

Hearing Pu Cao shouting outside the door, Aunt Chen hurriedly opened the door and asked, "How did you turn back just now, but what's the urgency?" ”

Pu Cao entered the door and hugged the old lady's arm with a smile, and said with a smile, "Auntie guessed correctly, it's really something, it's still a good thing!" ”

When Aunt Chen heard this, she thought she was coaxing herself to be happy, but she didn't take it seriously, and joked casually, "Our cattails are flower magpies with branches calling, and they are festive everywhere." ”

The two children also ran over from the kang, shouting for their aunt happily, and their little bodies twisted and wanted to squeeze into Pucao's arms. Aunt Chen stopped them and said angrily, "You have a hand of sauce, don't rub your aunt's cotton jacket." ”

The two children naturally pouted, Pu Cao took out a handkerchief to wipe their little hands clean for them, and said with a smile, "Are you hungry again?" Then go down to the ground and put on your shoes to find Peach Blossom and Shanzi to eat together, you Aunt Chunni are scrambling eggs. ”

Scrambled eggs are fragrant and tender, and naturally a hundred times more delicious than dry cakes and spicy shallots. The two children immediately responded happily and were about to find shoes to put on and go out.

Aunt Chen felt sorry for her grandson, but she always let Pucao eat, and she felt a fever on her face. So he stretched out his hand and desperately stopped the two children from getting off the ground.

Uncle Chen was upright but not stupid, and when he saw that Pucao seemed to have something to say, he said, "Let the children go, we can talk quietly." ”

Aunt Chen stopped stopping at this time, and the two children were afraid that their grandmother would stop them again, so they ran out of the door in a puff of smoke, and the house was really quieter. Pu Cao smiled at this time, "I do have something to discuss with my uncle and aunt, the children don't know the severity, but I'm afraid that they will spread out and cause trouble." ”

"What's so mysterious?" Aunt Chen leaned over to Pu Cao's side and guessed in a low voice, "But which descendant do you fancy and want me to help you talk to your uncle?" Although you are in the Zhang family now, you are no longer the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, and it will not be difficult to marry again..."

Pu Cao really couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, and hurriedly interrupted the old lady's words and smiled, "Auntie, I have a good life, and I don't have that mind for the time being!" I suddenly thought of a good deal that could add input, and came to ask our eldest brother and second brother if they would like to try it? ”

The old couple of the Chen family glanced at each other, and there was some surprise on their faces. If others in the village see Pucao making a fortune, they will inevitably think that she is lucky. But their family lives recently, and they have long seen all the changes in the Zhang family, and naturally they know Pucao's ability best, and they praise her for her intelligence in private.

At this time, I heard her say that there was a profitable business to introduce to her family, and her heart was naturally happy.

Aunt Chen was so excited that she took Pu Cao's hand and asked, "Pu Cao, tell me quickly to see what kind of profitable business there is, if you can really make some money, I will take Dali back from the kiln, our family feels sorry for this child." ”

"I also heard a few words from my sister-in-law in the morning, and I always thought about it when I went back, but I didn't expect that I would really find a way to make money." Pu Cao thought about it carefully, and then said, "Uncle and aunt, I just heard that there are many villages, because the snow is closed to the mountains, it is not good to enter the city to buy things. I wondered if every five days in our house, people from restaurants in the city came to pick up food. If we ask them to bring some small items when they come, and then we will transport them to remote villages for resale, the difference in price is definitely a good purchase. ”

"It's... Will it work? "Aunt Chen is illiterate and can't settle accounts, and she has never even been to the city a few times in her life, and she suddenly heard that she was going to buy things and come back and resell them, and she felt a little uneasy.
