Chapter 86: Farming
Trying to fool her with a candy? Jiang Xi carefully put away the key, changed it to an innocent look, and smiled:
"Second aunt and grandma, you should keep the sugar for yourself, I recently changed my teeth, my mother said, eat sugar when you change your teeth, and your teeth will be eaten by worms."
She is very small, she looks like she is about eight years old, and some people believe that she said that she was in the period of changing her teeth.
When Li Zheng's daughter-in-law heard this, she quickly took back the sugar, for fear that Jiang Xi would regret it for a while.
"Hehe, hehe, so that's the case, then you can't eat sugar. In this way, you don't eat sugar, you can take the second aunt and grandmother directly to the bottom to have a look, your cellar, the second aunt has never been to see it. ”
With that, she walked to the cellar and looked down excitedly, waiting for Jiang Xi to come and open the door for her.
She felt that Jiang Xi was just a child, and she couldn't be deceived with sugar just now, and that was because Jiang Xi changed her teeth and ate sugar, and she didn't regard Jiang Xi as a person with thinking ability at all.
As soon as she arrives below and sees the wine, she will definitely find a way to steal some of the wine from Jiangxi and their family. It's so easy to fool a little kid.
Even if they wait for the adults to come back, it won't be anything.
This Jiang family looks like honest people, and they definitely can't come to the door to find the wine back.
Even if she comes to the door, then she is not afraid, the big deal is that everyone has no face. She is still a relative of the Jiang family, oh, the Jiang family is reluctant to even drink so much, and it is the Jiang family who is embarrassed to say it.
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law thought clearly and thoroughly, and she had thought about getting the wine from the cellar, but she didn't think about whether she could get the key from Jiangxi smoothly.
Directly ignoring the words of Li Zheng's daughter-in-law, Jiang Xi took out a bench from the house.
"Second aunt and grandmother, sit down, the cellar is dirty and stuffy, and there is nothing to look at, just sit outside for a while. My mother and they went out to farm outside, second aunt and grandmother, do you have no land at home? Haven't been busy lately. ”
In a word, the daughter-in-law of Lizheng, who was still excited, was directly stunned.
"Do you have no land?"
These words have been repeated in the ear of Lizheng's daughter-in-law.
In the past, her family still had land, but later she was almost defeated by her son.
At home, there is only a little bit of land left, not even two acres, and it is a problem to feed a family.
Two days ago, my son came back from the gambling hall in the town and asked them for money, but he didn't care about farming at all.
Their last bit of money was looted by their son, and if they didn't get some money back, how would they get the money to renew their position next month.
Once the old man of her family is not upright, the people in the village will not be more troublesome to their family, and it will be even more difficult to borrow something at that time.
There is also the son's side, and he will have to take the money at any time in the future, and there is no right position, how can they loot the money, and then continue to provide financial support to the son who spends money lavishly.
Seeing that Li Zheng's daughter-in-law's face became embarrassed, Jiang Xi was happy in his heart, this is what he wants to do with this kind of person.
"Of course I have land!" Lizheng's daughter-in-law opened her mouth with her neck stalked, and her face was half red.
The family has become like this, and she still has to maintain the face of being a family inside.
Her appearance made Jiang Xi even happier in exchange.
"It turns out that the second aunt and grandmother have land in your family, and that's right, the second aunt and grandfather are right, your family must be living a prosperous life, and that land is indispensable.
In this way, your family must be very busy, second aunt, you can go back first, and when my mother and they come back, I will tell them that you have been here. ”
was praised by Jiang Xi for a while, Lizheng's daughter-in-law's chin was raised, and the whole person was coaxed into a daze.
"Alright then, I'll go first."
Until she came out, Lizheng's daughter-in-law was still immersed in Jiangxi's words that their family was rich and their lives were prosperous.
"Yo! Li Zheng's family, are you going to a relative's house? ”
In the village, since the last time the Jiangxi family came to Shen Yuanwai, the news that the Li Zheng family and the Jiangxi family are relatives has been spread unconsciously, and it is also because of this incident that Li Zheng and his daughter-in-law have raised their heads high.
The people in the village are also accustomed to the fact that the Li Zheng family came out of the Jiang family, although they all felt that they were going to take advantage.
Lizheng's daughter-in-law put away her happy face, coughed seriously, and looked at the daughter-in-law who asked her.
"Of course, our relationship with the Jiang family is not simple, they call us over for dinner every day, but we are still too thin-skinned, so we haven't passed every day."
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law looked proud, but she didn't see the disdain in the eyes of the person who asked her.
The daughter-in-law had just come back from the field, and remembered that she had just seen the Jiang family of three working in the field, and there was only one child in the family, so it would be strange if she could really ask Lizheng's daughter-in-law to come over for dinner.
Li Zheng's family, telling lies is really getting less and less drafted, and it is easy to come by.
"I see." The daughter-in-law didn't debunk anything, and just left.
Lizheng's daughter-in-law was interrupted by this, and suddenly remembered what she was doing at Jiangxi's house.
Originally, she wanted to take advantage of the absence of the Jiangxi family to take a little benefit and go back, but in the end, she only got two words from Jiangxi and came back happily.
Li Zheng's daughter-in-law was stunned for a moment, thinking that she was too easy to deceive, or that kid in Jiangxi was too powerful.
In the courtyard, Jiang Xi exhaled.
People like Lizheng's daughter-in-law are really difficult, and they may come over one day, which is really annoying.
Glancing at the sky, the sun seemed to be hanging overhead, and it was almost noon.
Jiang Xi came to the kitchen, washed the ribs, and scraped a winter melon, today she wants to make pork ribs winter melon soup, and add some sour water from the sauerkraut to it, so that the soup will taste better.
Lunch was ready, and the family just came back, and one person came first with a big bowl of soup, which was delicious.
When the soup was finished, Jiangxi brought four bowls of rice, one bowl per person.
"Master, you eat more, you're tired all morning."
"Hey, good! My granddaughter can cook for herself now, but she's really capable. In the future, the threshold of our family will definitely be broken. ”
Jiang Xi was a little confused, and looked at the old man inexplicably.
"Master, why is the threshold of our family being broken?" She blinked, looking innocent.
Except for her, everyone in the room was happy.
The old man is laughing, the old lady is laughing, even the Li family is laughing, and the smile is still like that, with a little embarrassment.
"Xi'er, what your father said was the person who told you the matchmaker later."
Jiang Xi froze, isn't it, how old is she now, ten years old. It's too early to talk about that.
"Mother, let's not talk about this, let's eat first."
didn't mention the fact that Lizheng's daughter-in-law came, and after eating, the old man wanted to go out to work immediately, but was stopped by Jiangxi.
"It's going to be a big day, so let's go later."
Jiang Xi didn't let Li do it, she went to the kitchen with her things, picked up a bucket of water from the well, and washed it slowly.
When washing the dishes, Jiang Xi looked at the things he bought from the town that was specially used to wash oil, and suddenly remembered the soap corner, and then thought of Song San.
Now, the soaphorn on the mountain should be ripe, but unfortunately she won't go up the mountain again to grab a group of children.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Jiangxi made another pot of sour plum soup and prepared to bring it over to the old man and them in the afternoon.
As soon as he came out of the kitchen, Jiang Xi found that several doors in the house were closed, and there was no one in the house.
"Hey! Didn't you say you wanted to take a break, why did you go to the field again? ”
Jiang Xi sighed, went back obediently, put the sour plum soup in a teapot, took a few more bowls, and carried them together.
There is a lot of land at home, and no matter how fast the old man works, he only does one-tenth of it in the morning, and in the afternoon, he has to be tired for several days. After that, you have to water and fertilize, and once you do these things, it will not be easy for about a month.
Jiang Xi saw it in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel distressed. I just thought that I could make high-grade grain wine earlier, so that I could sell it to make more money, and I could also invite a few long-term workers to come over and help the Li family and the old man share a little of it.
When Jiangxi carried the sour plum soup over, the old man was just tired and lifted it up to wipe his sweat, and he saw her at a glance.
"Xi'er, this sun is quite big, you little girl, why did you come out."
For other things in the family, the old man will not let her do it. However, the old man did not allow this matter of basking in the sun and doing farm work, worried that she would be tanned as a girl.
Jiang Xi will not be so hypocritical, she has a good skin foundation, and she can recover quickly if she is tanned.
"I'm here to work, and I'll send sour plum soup by the way." Raise the teapot in your hand.
A bowl of sour plum soup for one person, the previous tiredness was swept away.
Beside him, several people who were also planting wheat saw this scene and boasted: "This river of your family is really good, and I know that I will come to bring you water, our boy, it is like wood, and I don't know the hard work of adults." ”
In the face of these compliments, Jiang Xi responded with a smile.
She brought the extra bowls, poured two bowls for the people next to her, handed them over, and several people passed them to drink.
"Huh! What's this thing in your house, why is it so delicious? ”
In the town, people like Shen Yuanwai know about sour plum soup, but no one in the village can eat in Piaoxianglou, so naturally they don't know about this thing.
But everyone who drank the sour plum soup was very interested, which made Jiang Xi a little embarrassed.
"This is a sour ......" As soon as the old man spoke, he was interrupted by Jiang Xi.
"It's nothing, just what I boiled casually just now, I don't know if I can make it next time."
After speaking, she glanced at the old man, the recipe of sour plum soup has been sold, and it is okay for their family to drink it themselves, if it is drunk by everyone in the village, it will inevitably be bad.
