Chapter 44 Mother and Brother Visit Lishan

That night, Lu Quanyou slept on two benches in the hall downstairs of Sun Erniang's house, and before dawn the next day, Sun Erniang set off with him to his hometown Lujia Village.

Because Qingzhi had prepared the ingredients yesterday, he went out to sell the buns by himself, and when he came back, he bought some candy, snacks, cooked food, etc., and only got up in the middle of the afternoon to go back to Song Village to pick up his mother and brother.

When she reached the entrance of the village, she stopped and paused, but still mustered up the courage to go inside.

At least the crops are back to normal.

No one greeted her, and everyone was a little evasive when they saw her, I don't know if it was because they were ashamed, or they still blamed her.

Song Qingzhi walked straight back to his house.

It was in the evening, Chen and Qingdou were eating in the courtyard, and when they saw her push the door back, Qingdou shouted happily: "Sister! He spread his calves and ran over.

Qingzhi hugged him and kissed him.

Chen also hurried over, surprised and delighted, and complained: "Why did you come back suddenly!" I don't even have your food at home! ”

Qingzhi walked over to see what they were eating: black flour steamed buns, vegetable soup, and a plate of pickles.

Her eyes were a little red, and she quickly took out the lotus leaf bag she brought, untied it, and took out the braised pork.

When the green beans saw that there was meat, they cheered again.

Chen went to the kitchen and brought a pair of chopsticks to Qingzhi, and the mother and daughter sat down and said some goodbye gossip while sandwiching meat with green beans.

After eating for a while, Chen asked directly, "Why did you come back?" It can't be an errand, is it? ”

Your mother is your mother after all, and she knows everything.

Qingzhi sandwiched a piece of meat in Chen's bowl and said lightly: "Erniang, she is going to get married, and she hasn't thought about what to do after the breakfast car." ”

Chen only said 'um', and he didn't have any expression that the sky was about to fall.

There have been too many things happening in the Song family in the past two years, and no matter how bad the situation is, the Chen family is not surprised.

After eating, she said to Qingzhi: "If you want to come back to live, it's okay, but now I can't find a short-term job, and my family relies on the copper coins you bring back every month, and the days you come back are not as ......good as before."

Qingzhi hurriedly said, "I'm not coming back!" Mother, it is easier for Lishan Town to make money than Song Village, I have saved some money, if I can find a small business to do, the three of us should move to Lishan Town. ”

Chen didn't even refute it.

Is it because even the Chen family can't stand Song Village?

"Mother, I'm busy in Lishan Town, I don't have time to come to see you, and the people who brought the money always say that you and Qingdou are very good, you ...... It's really good, right? No one bullied you? ”

Chen took a sip of vegetable soup and said calmly: "It's almost like that, sometimes it's a little embarrassing, but life still has to pass." ”

However, when Chen went to wash up at night, Qingdou snuggled up to Qingzhi and looked at the moon, and suddenly said crisply: "They said that my sister is a bad person, but I said no." ”

Qingzhi kissed his soft cheek: "Qingdou is right! ”

The three members of the Song family cleaned up the house and locked it early the next morning, Qingzhi carried a big basket, Chen took Qingdou and said to Aunt Wang to go to the city for a few days, and then set off.

Along the way, Chen and Qingzhi took turns to carry baskets and green beans, and walked slower than usual, and only arrived at Lishan Town in the middle of the afternoon.

Qingdou had never been in the city before, so he couldn't help but pull Qingzhi to ask this and that, and Chen also showed a rare smile, looking east and west without a trace.

Qingzhi smiled: "Go back to eat and rest today, and then go shopping tomorrow!" There are still a few days to go! ”

She took her mother and younger brother to Sun Erniang's house to drop off the package, and then the family of three went out to buy firewood, rice, meat, vegetables, etc.

Chen couldn't stop chattering, but she didn't stop Qingzhi: she felt that her daughter knew more about life in the city.

Qingzhi bought back the vegetables, hurriedly lit a fire to cook and fry meat, and after eating in three bites, Chen boiled water, and Qingzhi went upstairs to make the bed.

It was said that it was to make a bed, but in fact, it was just two benches side by side in front of Qingzhi's original bed, and a futon was spread on it.

After washing, Chen took Qingdou to sleep on Qingzhi's weekday bed, Qingzhi slept on the bench, and the mattress was bought by Sun Erniang for Lu Quanyou last time, which was relatively hard, and he didn't feel uncomfortable when he fell asleep.

Qingdou was excited all day and soon fell asleep.

Chen hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "Qingzhi, that Ritsu Zichuan, is he still looking for you?" ”

Qingzhi pretended to be relaxed and said, "Oh! His family has moved! I moved to a far away place, I haven't been in touch for a long time, and my mother didn't say that I forgot about it. ”

Chen sighed lowly and turned to ask about other things, and the mother and daughter went to sleep until late at night.

The next day was the market day, and villagers and mountain people from all over the world rushed to Lishan Town to buy and sell.

Qingdou likes to look at the mules and horses that are sold, and also likes to see flowers, birds, insects, fish, etc.; Chen likes to watch the girls' daughters-in-law sell their embroidery work, and she also likes to watch the food, especially the kind of fried on the street, but every time Qingzhi wants to buy it for her, she always stops her.

Qingzhi has been in Lishan Town for a long time, although he hasn't done a good job, but today he took his mother and younger brother, and he didn't dare to slack off, and most of the time his eyes were on Qingdou who was running around with curiosity.

Walking to the west end of the town, there was a sound of Lang reading aloud, covering up the hustle and bustle of the market, Qingdou stopped and looked inside curiously.

Aoeda leaned over and saw that it was a private school, and the children sitting in it were about the same size as green beans.

"Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new...... Sister, what are they reading? What does that mean? ”

"Huh...... I don't know. Green beans are so powerful, I will remember it after listening to it once, do you want to go to school? ”

Qingdou thought about it, lowered her head and shook it, and quickly ran away.

After strolling to the evening market and dispersing the three of them to go home, although Chen dissuaded them, after a whole day, Qingzhi still bought a lot of things and came back, in fact, they were not valuables, but a bell for green beans that was originally tied to the horse, some fried small glutinous rice balls, and the rest were straw paper candles and soaps.

Under the evening light, Chen put the small clothes of the evergreen beans and sighed with a smile in his eyebrows: "It's better to be in the city!" Where in the countryside is there such a bustle! Qingzhi, you are so blessed that you have taken root in the city. ”

Rooted? No, in fact, it's the first time to go to the market today, and I'm usually very busy, and I don't have a house of my own.

It's just a "Lipiao".

But the Chen family was really happy, so Qingzhi only nodded and said, "I have already saved more than one or two silver, and after a while, I can pawn a small house and take you and Qingdou over......"

A while ago, Sun Er Niang explained to Qingzhi that pawning the house is to give a sum of money to the homeowner who is in urgent need of cash flow, live for a certain period of time, and then the homeowner will buy the house back at the same price.

"There are also a few taels of silver saved at home, alas! It's all because I was sick and spent so much money. ”

"Mother, don't say that, save slowly, and you can always earn more money."

Qingdou originally stood aside honestly, leaning on her sister, and fell asleep comfortably unconsciously, Chen and Qingzhi laughed, Qingzhi carried Qingdou upstairs, Chen unfolded the futon, and the mother and daughter put Qingdou on the bed before going downstairs to continue sewing.
