Chapter 034: Windfall
"Test?" Zhao Mama was stunned, Qi Niang's changes were too great, she couldn't keep up with her thoughts, "What test?" Buying a Zhuangzi is a big deal, how can you let a little guy go? Or is it a person who has just entered the door and doesn't understand any rules? Besides, he has a grudge with the steward of Qingquan Village, and he is in a hurry because of a verbal disagreement with others, and he smashes the errand with private waste, what should I do? ”
Chen Ergou was strongly recommended by himself, and if he messed up his errand, she would have no face in front of Qi Niang.
"Mama, it is precisely for these reasons that it can be regarded as a test. First, we don't have anyone in our hands, and now we have accepted one, and we have to know what errands he can do;
"Second, doesn't Mama Zhao often say, 'Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing their hearts', Chen Ergou looks quite responsible, but whether he is with us or not, whether he is willing to do things for us sincerely, it's hard to say;"
"Third, the price of Zhuangzi sounds quite cheap, but we have never been in contact with farming, let alone seen it in person, whether it is good or not, whether it is worth it or not, we don't know anything in the dark;"
"Also, Mama Zhao also mentioned that Chen Ergou has an enmity with the people of Qingquan Village, even if he doesn't really think about us, he will never let the people of Qingquan Village take advantage!"
Wang Qifang didn't know that Mama Zhao was a little uncomfortable because of the cherry tomatoes, she still used her own tone to analyze with Mama Zhao one by one, "Mama, your concerns are right, Chen Dongsheng has not learned the rules, and he doesn't know the rules of conduct in everyone, so I pushed him out directly, which is a little inconsiderate." However, if he passes our test and becomes a useful person, wouldn't it be better for you to teach him well! Mama~~" While speaking, Wang Qifang took Mama Zhao's slightly rough hand and rubbed it on her face coquettishly, "Mama, these days, you have worked hard." Let's buy Zhuangzi, buy some people, you should also have a good rest! ”
"Qi Niang~~" Wang Qifang was like a kitten in Mama Zhao's arms, so that Mama Zhao's original heart was a little lost, and she was suddenly filled with a feeling of being taken seriously, she secretly scolded herself, "It's really getting older and more confused, it's a good thing that Qi Niang has changed, why are you suspicious because of a little thing, I'm sorry for my wife's entrustment, I'm sorry for Qi Niang's trust."
In the next few days, Wang Qifang was idle. With the silver in her hand, she has the loyal and reliable Mama Zhao by her side to take care of everything, and the housework at home is also helped by Chen Dongsheng's sister Chen Xiaomei, who eats and sleeps by herself, and is completely raised by Mama Zhao like a pig.
The fetus in the womb may be the reason why it often soaks in the hot spring water, and it is also exceptionally well-behaved. Like morning sickness, spleen and stomach discomfort, and numbness in her limbs, these symptoms can't be seen in her at all.
In addition, the month is still young, and her body has not changed at all, just from the appearance, it is impossible to tell that she is pregnant. However, according to Mama's posture of making up for it every day, she will soon be able to "round".
Originally, she also wanted to practice yoga to enhance her physique, but after being bumped by Mama Zhao early one morning, Qifang knew that Mama Zhao also had such a time to talk. was nagged by the old man for most of the day, Qifang only raised her arm and swore that Mama Zhao would let her go.
Alas, yoga can't be done, she is stared at by her grandmother every day, and she doesn't dare to enter the space, she can't do anything except for walking around the small courtyard. was really bored, Wang Qifang had to pick up the clothes given to her by Qianniang again, nest on the warm kang, and start doing needlework in the bright sunshine.
That's it, Mama Zhao also said twice, let her do less needlework, it's harmful to the eyes!
Although Mama Zhao's nagging is very trivial, Wang Qifang is not disgusted at all, because she knows that when a person really cares about you, she can't help but persuade you. If you are a passerby, even if you go naked in winter, people will not say anything to persuade them, but will watch the excitement with great interest.
Qifang, who seriously lacked family affection in her previous life, has the most profound taste for these bodies. After her mother died, sometimes on the street, when she saw some mothers babbling about their children, she would have a trace of envy, and she really hoped that the child who was taught by her mother was herself.
Now, with a different identity, although he also lost his mother, there is a person who is better than a mother who cares for him, so that Wang Qifang cherishes it.
Therefore, every persuasion of Mama, she may deliberately protest, but she has never been bored.
No, Wang Qifang just picked up the front thread and didn't put a few stitches, and Mama Zhao's voice chased after her:
"Oh, my Qi Niang, why are you still leaving the window open on a cold day? Although the weather is warm now, the cool breeze can't blow! ”
Putting the tray on the kang table, Mama Zhao climbed on the kang neatly and closed the window with a small slit. Then, he sat back on the kang and touched the teacup on the table, "This tea is cold, Mama will give you a cup, now that you have a body, you have to be careful in everything!" ”
That cup of tea was just poured, how could it be cold? Qifang pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she listened to Mama Zhao's chatter happily.
"By the way, the steward of Qingquan Village came in the morning and asked if we still want to buy it?"
Mama Zhao changed the tea, reached out to take the needlework in Wang Qifang's hand, stuffed the stewed white fungus soup into Qifang's hand, remembered the person she had just sent away, and asked.
"Oh, what's going on with Mama?"
Qifang saw that Mama Zhao took away her clothes with a disapproving face, but she didn't object, she took the porcelain cup and leaned lazily on the pillow by the window, stirred it gently with a small spoon, and asked casually.
"You've planned it, what else can I say, of course according to your intentions." Mama Zhao put the needlework dustpan on the kang head, remembered Chen Dongsheng, who had disappeared for a few days, and asked with a little worry: "Qi Niang, Ergou has been here for several days, and there is no letter at all." Now that the people of Qingquan Village have also returned, if Ergou doesn't do it, then Zhuangzi won't-"
"Mama, I'm thinking that Ergou is about to have a result," Qifang said with a meaningful smile after taking two sips of white fungus soup.
"Huh? How so? Mama Zhao was busy for a while, and saw that there was nothing to clean up in the room, so she was sitting opposite Wang Qifang, staring at her and drinking supplements, chatting casually.
"Hehe, didn't you just say that the steward of Qingquan Village came to you," Wang Qifang saw that Mama nodded, and continued: "We said a few days ago that we wanted to buy Zhuangzi, why didn't he come at that time?" But the second dog went, and he came? I see, most of the time Ergou has talked about it, but the price is definitely lower than ours, and the bitter masters urge every day, but except for us and Ergou, no one else is willing to buy this Zhuangzi, so he just remembered us, like let us bid with Chen Ergou! ”
"Well, it makes sense...... Mama Zhao listened to Qifang's words, turned her head and thought about it, and was about to say something, when there was a knock on the door outside the window and the sound of Chen Xiaomei running to answer the door.
"Who, I'll take a look!"
When Mama Zhao heard the voice, she frowned and walked out.
After a while, she walked in with a happy face, still holding a few yellowed white pieces of paper in her hand, "Qi Niang, what you said is really accurate, it was Ergou who came outside, and he talked about Zhuangzi, this is a copy of the fish scale map of the county government file, you see!" ”
Qifang took the white paper, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, when she saw a few marks drawn by thick lines, she looked down, leaned over and asked out of the window: "Chen Dongsheng, how much land have you talked about?" How much silver is there? ”
"Back to the young grandmother, the land that I talked about this time is marked on the fish scale map. Including: 110 acres of fertile land in the west col of Qingquan Village, plus 30 acres of mountain land, 6 acres of ponds, and 20 acres of barren mountains and 10 acres of hillside land on the north side, a total of 800 taels of silver! ”
What the? Thirty acres of more hillside land, but the silver is less than half of what was expected?!
Mama Zhao and Wang Qifang glanced at each other in surprise and nodded secretly, if what he said was true, then this Chen Ergou is really a talent!
