Chapter 177: A New Beginning for Peach Blossoms
Gu smiled lightly: "No." Looking at Uncle Ping, there was a sense of déjà vu in my heart. It feels very close. ”
"Look, I'll just say it." Xia Ting said with a smile. Finally, the second brother felt the same way as her.
"Come, let's try this tea, it was grown in our field, try it in the first year of this year, I don't know if it's good or not." Not long after, Uncle Ping came in after making a pot of tea and handed Xia Ting a bag of tea.
Xia Ting sniffed it, took a sip, and exclaimed: "It smells very fragrant, but not too ostentatious, the entrance is sweet, there is a residual sweetness, and the feeling of dancing on the tip of the tongue." Uncle Ping, you are amazing! "This tea is not high-quality, but the big families also like to drink it. Xia Ting has a hunch that this tea can sell well.
Uncle Ping smiled, "It's good if Madame likes it." It's a pity that I didn't dare to plant too much in the first year. I may not make much money this year. ”
Xia Ting waved his hand and didn't care, "That's just right." The people we know divide the tea and sell it next year! ”
Later, Uncle Ping took Xia Ting and Gu to meet the new recruits, all of whom were strong and strong, and they were not lazy when no one was around, and their feelings were all good.
"Is there a great shortage of water in our fields?" Xia Ting squatted down and pinched the dirt, and asked casually.
"This year is a bit drought, and if you want to put it on hold for previous years, I'm afraid it's worse than now. But this year is good, the lord often lets people let the water down, although there are not many of them, but for the time being it is enough. Uncle Ping didn't expect her to ask this question, he thought Xia Ting didn't understand.
That's good. Xia Ting nodded, she was still more at ease with Uncle Ping's work. Although Qiu Ye brought a large army to temporarily appease the people's more and more superficial impetuousness, it could not last long. When food and water are always used up, at that time, her 100 acres of land will be very important.
If you don't have big ambitions or make a fortune, it's good to be able to protect yourself first.
Here is her strongest guarantee. The supplies she had collected before were limited, and they couldn't be compared to those in the field. With the land, crops can be constantly renewed, and there will be a steady stream of food.
After getting acquainted with everyone, Xia Ting and the others left.
After Gu sent Xia Ting back to the store, he stopped at the door and didn't go in.
"What's wrong?"
"Uncle Ping has lived in the town for so long, why did he suddenly sell his land? Is he leaving? ”
Xia Ting scratched his head, "No." He seemed to be in a hurry to use the money, it should be that there was something going on at home, but after I asked him to stay, he didn't worry so much, I didn't think too much about it. How? Is there something wrong? Suddenly, Xia Ting was a little suspicious.
"Nope. Just curious. Gu said casually, and then said: "Oh, I remember that there is something in the gang that has not been resolved, I will go to the gang to have a look, and come back later." ”
Xia Ting didn't doubt it.
Gu always felt that Uncle Ping was very familiar, where he had seen him. Others are living here, why do they sell their land? Those of them who have formed an indissoluble bond with the land will not give up the land easily. In the past, he took care of other things, and Xia Ting didn't say much, but he didn't expect that An was not safe. After so many things happen, I really have a lot of eyes.
"Eh, Gang Leader, you're back!" Ergou opened the door and saw the boss who had not appeared for many days, and his tone was full of surprise.
Gu nodded slightly, went straight to the conference hall, and left a sentence: "Help me convene people for a meeting." ”
After listening to everyone's reports, he made some suggestions on some issues
said the words that had been held all night, "Do you know the man who went down to the river, 'Uncle Ping'?" Something happened to his family? ”
Everyone knew that the land had been bought by the leader's daughter-in-law, and their own fields had to be taken seriously, but they didn't expect the leader to ask this question, and some of them really looked at each other and didn't know.
"When I was playing on the boat, I heard the drunkard brag once, and Uncle Ping's son seemed to have lost a lot of money in the gambling house, so he didn't sell out his net worth to pay off his debts. But the drunkard guy, nine out of ten sentences are fake, and it's not easy to distinguish the real from the fake~" Seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassing, someone said that he knew it, but he hadn't figured it out yet.
It is a big taboo to put it before.
However, Gu didn't bother too much, "Give me a good look at this person, move lightly, don't make him suspicious." "I care about the people I love, Gu has a much softer attitude, and I really can't see the vigorous and resolute style.
This statement is consistent with the statement of the pavilion.
However, Gu always felt that something was wrong.
Not long after Gu left, someone came to the store again.
Xia Ting was buried in cleaning up the mess, and when he saw a shadow in front of him, he thought that the second brother was back, and quipped, "What? Still reluctant to go? Or did you drop something?"
"It's me."
Xia Ting was a little shocked when he heard this, and when he looked up, he smiled and said, "The county official is quite fast. Then Ma Yo let you out. ”
"Don't thank me?"
"I should be thankful. But, I don't think we're in a relationship like you're going to save me. So, I judge, you gave me a message for yourself, right? It's just using me, helping us by the way, in the end, it's the nature of use. To put it nicely, we are in a cooperative relationship, and there is no reason to thank or not thank you. Xia Ting smiled flatly, but he was picking up the ingredients to cook Malatang in his hands, "However, you should eat my family's things for the first time?" Just let you eat it once for free, and you will want to eat it next time, and you will be full. ”
Peach Blossom looked at the woman with smooth movements, she really couldn't understand it, and she couldn't understand it more and more. In the past, I thought she was just a pampered person who didn't touch the spring water with her hands, and she didn't understand the world. Now that I have experienced a lot, I have found that others are the real winners. Looking at the Buddha system, it is much more nourishing than those of them who are desperate for a better life.
"Don't you want me to come out?" Looking at the hot spicy tang in front of her, it was very miscellaneous, compared with what she ate in Wang's house, it was much more homely, and it tasted more humane, she liked it more.
Xia Ting sat on the stool opposite the peach blossom, holding his cheeks with both hands and said, "No, this is not publicized, it is not clear." I thought he would be released later, with Wang Shunde and them, you are free, they will die, exiled and exiled, and those who become slaves become slaves. ”
"Where's the big baby?"
The peach blossoms are talking about everything, as if they have no purpose. Xia Ting was always unpredictable, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart, but his face was not obvious.
"He went out on errands for a while." The eldest brother didn't hide much when he left, and besides, if he didn't show up for so long, he knew that he wasn't there, and there was nothing to hide.
"Why do you answer me all the questions? So reassuring? Somehow...... We've had grudges before. Peach Blossom stopped eating Malatang, her eyes drooping, making it difficult to see her emotions.
Xia Ting looked at her complicatedly, she was good
seems to know the strangeness of peach blossoms, in the past, she was swaggering, bitter and mean, and there was the shadow of a peach blossom girl; Right now...... The emotions are not exposed, calm and composed, even the smile is less, and the innocence in the bones is gone.
Peach Blossom suddenly raised her head, looked at the eyes that she didn't have time to retract last summer, and pulled her mouth, "It's changed too much, don't you recognize it." ”
Xia Ting nodded honestly: "But I like you like this a little more, mature." Xia Ting changed the topic, "As for what you said earlier, I'm not at ease, grievances are grievances, and I won't forget this." But I'll learn to let go, and what has passed, and I've learned a lesson, and I'll let it pass. It's a punishment for yourself. ”
Seven points true and three points false.
"Peach? Let's go. There was a sudden knock on the door, and Xia Ting looked over, and it was a man of poor appearance, tall and strong, dressed in coarse cloth but neatly cleaned, carrying a package, and a dilapidated carriage behind him.
Listen to his voice, looking for Peach Blossom?
Xia Ting's eyes silently wandered over the two of them.
"Just come." Peach Blossom replied softly.
Xia Ting deduced from her demeanor and tone that it was different!
The man nodded to Xia Ting and went out again, his eyes on Peach Blossom the whole time.
"Ouch, it's not bad."
Peach Blossom smiled lightly, with a woman's characteristic shyness: "Well, he's fine." ”
Xia Ting couldn't help but be surprised, "That's good." Let's live well in the future. "It seems to be true love.
Peach Blossom has always maintained that sweet smile, "I had a hard time at that time, if it weren't for him, I would have died a long time ago." Later, I had no choice but to return to Wang's house, and found that the dog man was doing something reluctantly, and I thought this was a perfect opportunity to take revenge on them, and it was also the best time to let myself live, so he came to help me, and those letters were all written by him and he went to you. Peach Blossom breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay." I've told you all, I'm relaxed. I'm leaving. ”
Xia Ting looked at her belly, if she remembered correctly......
"I can't take him with me. He is a member of the royal family. It's just a blame, he cast the wrong baby. Peach Blossom touched her stomach as if he was still inside, with pain and guilt in her eyes.
"I'm sorry." Careful thinking was discovered.
Peach Blossom shook her head, "Thank you very much." It's not you, I'm still struggling in that sea of misery. If it weren't for you, I might ...... will not make up their minds to go with him and endure the hard life together. With that, her face was full of smiles, and her eyes were full of happiness.
Xia Ting watched her walk to the door and suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute! ”
She ran to the counter, opened the cabinet, and took out a bunch of money for Peach Blossom, "Oh, take it." There are too many uncertain things along the way, and it is better to have more money around you. But remember, no matter how good your relationship is with that person, remember to have your own little money. ”
Peach Blossom glanced at the hanging money and refused: "No, it's useless, it's still what you said." ”
Xia Ting pushed it back again, "Take it." You've really done a lot of work this time. Anyway, the result is what I wanted, and the previous things are one yard to the other. Take it, not much. ”
Peach Blossom gave her a deep look, carefully put away the money, stepped into the carriage and left.
