Chapter Twenty-Six: A Little Solution
Walking along the street, I saw several adult clothing shops, walked in and took a look at the shops where the materials and embroidery were relatively better, but the price was more expensive, but I thought that now I had silver on hand, and it was okay to buy more.
I bought four sets of clothes for each of them according to their height for a change of clothes, and also bought a set for Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang, and finally bought two sets of men's clothes that suited them, plus some bits and pieces of combs, hair bands, hair crowns and other commonly used things, and spent nearly a hundred taels of silver at once, and I couldn't help but marvel again that this money was really unspent!
Because there are too many things, I can only let the store wrap it into a cloth bag and carry it, and then I go to the place where I bought meat to weigh some meat, and let the boss chop it, so that it is better to eat it with rice porridge, and weigh a few catties of fat and thin pork belly, and the boss wraps it with lotus leaves just enough to put it in the basket.
This meat was eaten with Aunt Fang and Uncle Fang when I went back at night, after all, I borrowed it to live in someone else's house, although I paid the silver, but if I wanted to eat meat, I couldn't avoid people cooking it by myself, I looked at the meat stall and bought a few hundred pork bones, turned around and went to the rice shop to buy a few buckets of rice.
So he went to the gate of the city, thinking about what else he hadn't bought as he walked, but he saw that there were already a lot of things on his body, and he couldn't lift them if he bought them again, anyway, she could come tomorrow if she bought anything less.
When she arrived at the gate of the city, Aunt Fang also came out, and when she saw so many things on her, she couldn't help but be surprised and said, "You buy so much!" How much money does it cost! ”
Qu Xiaomo smiled and said: "It's just some change of clothes and washing, these are must-buy, no way, this rice is the same." ”
"And what's in this basket...?" Aunt Fang looked at her heavy appearance and asked
Qu Xiaomo put down the rice bag and lifted the handkerchief to show her, and said, "A little minced meat and bones are used to make porridge, let's eat this piece of meat tonight." ”
Hearing this, Aunt Fang looked at the piece of meat and added a lower lip flap, smiled, and said, "How embarrassing this is!" ”
"There's nothing to be ashamed of, you're my aunt now." Qu Xiaomo said with a smile
Aunt Fang also laughed and said, "That's right." ”
As he spoke, he took the medicine bag in Qu Xiaomo's hand and said, "My basket is empty, you divide the things and I'll help carry it." ”
Qu Xiaomo was not polite, he directly handed her the basket and medicine bag containing the meat in his hand, and carried the cloth bag and the rice bag on his back, and just when the ox cart came, he got into the car together.
When I returned to the village and met a lot of people, Qu Xiaomo introduced Aunt Fang to her, and they all said hello with a small face, and finally returned to the house, and Aunt Fang said hello to the meat in the basket and hung it into the well with the basket, which can prolong the freshness of the meat.
Qu Xiaomo had already taken out the silver that was put in the basket from the pawnshop when he was buying meat, so he didn't stop it at this time, pushed open the door and lifted the curtain to go in, and saw that Jin Yu had woken up and was lying on the bed struggling to turn over, but because the toxin had not been discharged, he had not recovered from his strength, and he had not succeeded for a long time.
Qu Xiaomo hurriedly put down the cloth bag, helped him turn over, and asked, "Big shopkeeper, do you want to go to the toilet?" ”
Jin Zhen, who had just turned over and felt more comfortable, raised his eyes and looked at her coldly, and said, "No." ”
Qu Xiaomo, who had taken a cold look, touched his nose and said with an embarrassed smile: "Big shopkeeper, wait a minute, the small one will boil water for you to wash." ”
Ignoring the clothes that were still in the cloth bag, he got up and went out of the room, and when he was boiling water, he also put the rice in the pot and boiled porridge.
When the water was hot, he mixed a basin with some cold water, brought it into the room, took the newly bought handkerchief from the cloth bag and soaked it in water, wrung it out, and wiped his face with his hands. ”
After speaking, he secretly glanced at the golden sting whose eyes remained unchanged, and said: "I became 1,300 taels of silver, and today I bought a few sets of clothes and decoctions, as well as all kinds of things, and I spent a full 100 taels, and now I still have 1,200 taels." As he spoke, he took out two silver tickets and a bag of broken silver, and presented them to him.
Jin Zhen just glanced at it and said, "Put it away yourself." ”
Seeing that others were in charge, Qu Xiaomo took back the silver, went outside to bring a cup of warm boiling water, fed him and drank it, and then hurriedly went out to see the fire.
Now there is still a period of time before lunch, but when he went out in the morning, Jin Yu had not woken up, and he hadn't eaten until now, and when the porridge was ready, Qu Xiaomo first filled a bowl of cool and fed him a spoonful of cooling, and the medicine had already boiled on the stove, and he could drink it after drinking the porridge for a while.
After waiting for Jin Yu Qu Xiao Mo to start sorting out the things he bought, she specially instructed the shopkeeper to take the women's clothes she bought today are all high-necked, although the heat is a little hotter, but at least it is better than letting Jin Yu see that he does not have an Adam's apple.
There is a little sleep ingredient in the decoction, Jin Yu fell asleep after drinking, Qu Xiaomo cleaned up lightly before coming out, and Aunt Fang outside had already started to make lunch with steamed steamed buns.
Qu Xiaomo went over to help watch the fire, chatting with him, Zuo just asked about some things in the village, Aunt Fang said while cutting steamed buns with noodles: "You don't have to worry too much about living here for two or three months, you can go out and hang out on weekdays, and say hello when you meet people, this village is easy to talk to, but when a few daughters-in-law gossip about other families, don't get involved, just listen to it so as not to get into trouble." ”
"Those mothers-in-law are thieves, they love to push bad things on others, you have to be careful."
"Got it." Qu Xiaomo smiled and nodded crisply, then changed the topic and asked about today's meal, and said, "Auntie, what are you going to eat today?" ”
"You bought the meat, I thought that when the steamed buns were steamed, I would go to the field to pick some vegetables, mix them and stir-fry, and eat them like this at night."
Qu Xiaomo said: "If you cut those bones and boil porridge at night, you often eat bone porridge and your body is tough." ”
Aunt Fang smiled: "I haven't heard of it, there is no flesh in this bone." ”
"Auntie, don't underestimate this bone, although there is no meat, it is all essence." Qu Xiaomo said with a smile
I don't understand that no one here will use bones to make soup even in such a poor situation, and those pig offal are rarely eaten, and today in front of the meat stall in the county seat, I saw those unprocessed offal in the wooden barrel, and I wanted to buy some large intestines, but I really didn't have an appetite for it.
After lunch, Qu Xiaomo was busy serving his master, Jin Zhen, and after feeding the porridge and medicine, he brought a bucket to help Jin Zhen to relieve it.
She has also been thinking of a solution to this matter since Jin Zhen woke up, but there is no way, Jin Zhen is now weak, she can't even hold a spoon, she can't turn over, how can it be convenient for herself, and Uncle Fang can't help at home from time to time if he wants to work in the field, and Aunt Fang is even more impossible.
Qu Xiaomo, who had no choice but to help Jin Yu get up, then took off his pants for him, trembling and holding the strange-looking thing to help solve it.
Although she was so ashamed that she wanted to burrow into the ground, but now she was a man, no matter how embarrassed she was, she didn't dare to turn her head, opened her eyes and looked away slightly, and waited for the golden sting to finish the row before putting on his pants again, but her face was already red into the tomato, and she quickly packed up the gong bucket and went out after she was dressed and helped him lie down.
Jin Zhen looked at her in a light-colored women's dress with a pair of cold eyes, the belt around her waist stretched out a slender waist, her hair was coiled up and only fixed with a hairpin she bought in the morning, and the hanging pendant gently slid over her crimson face between her lower heads, making him unable to take his eyes off.
However, Qu Xiaomo, who was nervous and embarrassed at the moment, didn't notice the strangeness in his cold eyes in a panic, and rushed out of the door with a gong bucket as if fleeing for his life.
Jin Zhen, who was pulled back to his thoughts by the sound of the door closing, looked at her back and narrowed his eyes slightly, this Qu Xiaomo's identity still has to be checked, he always feels that something is wrong, but he can't see anything wrong, but there are Master Zhihuai's words first, and after this attack, she used her petite body to carry herself here to stay and treat, thinking that she was not interested in her own life.
Because of the sleeping effect of the decoction, Jin Yu thought about it and fell asleep in a daze, and in his dream there was a delicate woman dressed in green clothes, standing not far from him smiling and smiling, her face was like a peach blossom, but she couldn't see who it was, she only felt a little familiar as if she had seen it.
However, Qu Xiaomo, who went out with the Gong bucket, ran all the way to the thatched house with a red face and dumped the dirt in the bucket, and then took the wicker under the guidance of Aunt Fang and came to a small river at the edge of the village to wash the Gong bucket.
At this time, when the sun was shining, many children in the village were greedy for coldness, and they were bare-chested and soaked in the river.
At that time, the river water was as clear as here, and you could drink it when you picked it up, but when you grew up, you lost the joy of your childhood when you went down to the river to fish, and the river water was so polluted that people didn't dare to touch it.
Just as Qu Xiaomo looked at the group of children reminiscing about their previous lives, he was startled back to his senses by the voices on the side, and turned his head to see that he went to the county seat in the morning to meet Sister-in-law Tian at his door, and saw that she was holding a wooden basin in her hand with a few clothes and a few soaps, holding a mallet in one hand, obviously to wash clothes, so he smiled and said: "Sister-in-law is here to wash clothes?" ”
"Yes, the few clothes I just changed into dried quickly while the weather was hot, so I brought them to be washed."
As he spoke, he walked up to the stones that Qu Xiaomo thought had been piled up in front of him, put down the basin, and said, "I just shouted you twice and didn't respond, what do you think?" ”
"Nothing!" Qu Xiaomo smiled and floated in the water, and said busily in his hands: "Just look at those children, they have a lot of fun, and the fish they caught are also quite fat, this is not greedy." ”
"Hahaha..."Sister-in-law Tian smiled: "If you want me to say, the fish in the river in our village are the biggest and freshest, but they are all fine, and Uncle Lin next door to my sister-in-law will catch them, so if you want to eat, you can only go to his house to buy them, but they are quite expensive, but the palm is only three pennies a piece." ”
Qu Xiaomo heard that not only did there be a black line on her forehead, but wild fish could be fried at a sky-high price in her previous life, and it was only three pennies a piece, so she had to buy a few to eat.
