Chapter 141: Food and Clothing
Qin Chu obediently went to get the bowl, filled himself with a bowl of hot porridge, and sat on a wooden pier by the stove and drank it casually.
"By the way, mother, where did Ah Cheng go, why didn't he come back with you?"
"This kid, I went to the mountains early in the morning to collect firewood." Mother Yang sat on the edge of the bed, took the embroidery thread and began to divide the thread.
"It's useless for me to stop it, saying that the house is not warm, the stove has to be burned all the time, and there is no firewood."
Qin Chu nodded, holding the hot bowl in both hands, and slowly drank the porridge in his hand. Although the fire kept burning continuously last night, because there was no quilt and there were many gaps in the windows and doors, even if the three of them put all their clothes on their bodies, they were still frozen and woke up several times in one night.
It seems that we still have to hurry up and make money. Qin Chu thought while eating porridge.
After drinking the porridge, I was about to go out to greet Ah Cheng, but as soon as I got together, I heard the surprised voice of Sister-in-law Chen in the yard: "Little brother has caught so much firewood?" ”
Ah Cheng nodded, walked to the base of the wall and unloaded the firewood on his back. At the same time, a pheasant pinned to his waist was revealed.
"Oh, the little brother even hit the pheasant!" Sister-in-law Chen's gaze was almost glued to the chicken pinned to Ah Cheng's waist.
Although the town is surrounded by mountains, because there are often big insects and black bears in the mountains, ordinary people are afraid to approach, so they can only go to the relatively safe east, but there are many people who go, and there is nothing left in the mountains for a long time.
It seems that this little brother has gone to other mountains.
Sister-in-law Chen could think of it, and Qin Chu naturally thought of it too.
"Your injuries are not healed, so you dare to go out and wander around, such a dangerous place, in case ...... What do you want me to do if there's a bad one? ”
"It won't". Ah Cheng pursed his lips and handed the pheasant pinned to his waist to Qin Chu, which was quite a bit of a treasure: "Improve the food for the girl."
Qin Chu's eyes were sour. It turned out that the child had been thinking about her all along. Although he was moved in his heart, he still said: "As long as you are good, there will be this chicken missing."
Ah Cheng didn't refute, but raised his hand and touched the back of his head, grinning and said: "The ability taught by adults, beating a chicken is nothing."
"Okay, let's eat chicken at noon." Qin Chu said, glancing at the sister-in-law of the Chen family, who had been looking at them here, and said with a smile: "Even if we just moved here to celebrate, take advantage of the sister-in-law, and let's have a lively time together."
"Hey!" Sister-in-law Chen responded happily, came over to take the chicken in Ah Cheng's hand, and said with a smile: "I don't think it's convenient for my sister-in-law, sister-in-law will take it back and do it, I'll call you in a while, do you think it's feasible?" ”
Although a word of inquiry was added later, before Qin Chu could speak, the person had already taken the chicken and walked quickly to the upper room.
"You kid, why did you beat so much firewood, you're tired, come into the house and drink some porridge to cushion your stomach." Mother Yang came out of the house at this time and was surprised to see that there were waist-high firewood piled up at the base of the wall.
"It's cold outside, let's talk about it in the house first."
Qin Chu spoke, and the three of them entered the house together.
"I'll go out in a while to see if I can make some money, it's too cold in the house, we still need two quilts."
Qin Chu gave up his seat to Ah Cheng, went to the edge of the bed and sat down, discussing with the two.
"I'll be with the girl." Ah Cheng said quickly.
"Yes, let Ah Cheng accompany you, and my mother can rest assured."
And so it was decided.
Qin Chu and Ah Cheng went to the main street where there were still a lot of people in the town, as in the past, and walked around.
As long as all strangers are glanced at by her, the system will automatically output and archive all the information of this person and his immediate family.
After not receiving business for a few days, Qin Chu was a little shaken whether he wanted to simply set up a stall to tell fortunes. It's better than working in vain, and people don't give money.
was thinking about things in his heart, and was suddenly dragged by Ah Cheng on the side. Qin Chu came back to his senses and saw two women arguing at the door of a shop. One of the women was pushed by the other and almost hit Qin Chu.
"Seeing that the good days are set, you just told me at this time that the two children are not suitable, is there such a thing as your family, why did you go earlier?" One of the women had a slightly red face and a quick breath, and she should have been angry. before he started.
The other is very embarrassed and wants to calm things down, but he doesn't know how to appease them.
"Originally, the two children were very good, but the last time her aunt took the eight characters of the two children to give it to people, saying that it was a crime, you know, because of the marriage before, Xi'er almost lost half of her life, I and her father just had this one baby bump, but I can't afford to gamble anymore."
The woman was sincere, but none of these reasons were enough to soothe the other's agitated mood.
"Where did my aunt get along? You can't listen to the wind or the rain, how can the two children's lifelong events be ruined by someone else's three or two sentences? Although she was still in a bad mood, she was worried about the streets, where there were many people, and the woman's voice softened.
Qin Chu listened to the conversation between the two, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked the system if the eight characters of the children of the two families were compatible. The answer turned out to be yes. And the rating is sixty-eight.
Ah Cheng saw Qin Chu stop, and he didn't urge, just stood silently on the side.
Listening to the conversation between the two, he could probably guess what his girl was going to do. For marriage, no one can be more powerful than a girl.
Sure enough, Qin Chu and the others came to an end, and took the initiative to step forward to greet them: "Two, well, hello aunt, I just heard the two of you talking about marriage, my ancestors did this, can you let me unite the two of your children?" ”
In order to make money, there is nothing wrong with boasting about yourself.
"You?" The aunt, who was obviously a little irritable, glanced at Qin Chu and saw that she was just a little lady in her early twenties, although she didn't say it, her eyes were full of contempt.
"My sister-in-law is looking for the best Mr. Yin and Yang in their neighborhood, little lady......" The other woman spoke more tactfully, but it seemed that she was determined to listen to her sister-in-law's opinion.
Qin Chu was anxious, if he didn't grasp this opportunity, it would be even more difficult in the future. Thinking of this, he directly exploded the information given by the system.
"This aunt's daughter is eighteen years old and was born in xx years......"
Every time Qin Chu said a word, the mouths of the two people on the other side would open a little more.
After Qin Chu finished speaking, an egg could already be stuffed into the mouths of the two of them.
"How did the girl know so much about my family's affairs?"
"Yes, yes, even a few of my unmarried children have said it so clearly, it won't be a god descending to earth, right?"
"Poof......" Qin Chu was caught off guard and was almost sprayed by the woman's last sentence.
For fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings, if someone is really caught as a monster, it will be more than worth the loss. Therefore, Qin Chu hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Auntie said that I laughed, I said before, looking at people's faces, combining eight characters, this is all ancestral. ”
"The girl's ability is really not small." The short-tempered woman said to another woman: "I think what people say must be more reliable than the one your sister-in-law is looking for, it is rare for the two children to fall in love, you can't delay the happiness of the two children for a while because of this matter." ”
"This ......" The woman still hesitated, it was because marriage could not be child's play, that she didn't want to listen to a random person on the street, so she cheated her daughter.
"Don't hide it from my aunt, I used to open a happy event shop, and I didn't directly contribute to how many marriages. If my aunt is not worried about my ability, how about finding someone at random, and I will help you see each other on the spot? ”
The woman was a little tempted by her proposal. Glancing at the hot-tempered woman on the side, he hesitated to take Qin Chu to the grocery store where several people were standing.
It turned out that this shop was run by the woman's family. It just so happened that her nephew came over to help in the past few days, and few people around knew her, so she simply asked Qin Chu to give it a try.
Qin Chu pretended to look the person up and down, until the ears of the child who looked at him turned red, and then he said in a deep voice: "You are seventeen years old this year...... There are two brothers and sisters in the family, and my sister is fourteen years old this year......"
Not to mention that a few parties were full of surprise at this moment, even an elderly lady in the store came over curiously to join in the fun.
"Child, you are quite accurate, how much is a hexagram, and it is also calculated for the eldest mother, how many years does the eldest mother have to live?"
No one mentioned it, and the two women couldn't remember it, but now as soon as the old lady spoke, the gentler woman woke up, turned around and went to the counter and found ten copper plates: "Thank you today, little lady, otherwise Xi'er will really be delayed by my confused mother."
"How to say that this is also a matter of the two families, how can you get the money." The hot-tempered woman blocked the other woman's hand, took out a handful of copper plates from her body, and put them all in Qin Chu's hand.
Qin Chu roughly estimated that there were nearly two dozen copper plates. No matter how much or less, as long as you can open and make money, your heart is still beautiful.
The old lady, who had already been rejected by Qin Chu, had already followed out of the store without giving up, and she had to let Qin Chu help her take a look, otherwise she would keep shouting in her mouth, this was to see that her Yangshou was approaching, and she didn't want to open her mouth.
Qin Chu couldn't, seeing that she was in good spirits, and according to the situation of her children given by the system, she comforted: "Auntie, your good days are still ahead, how can you casually say that you are dead."
"Eh, really?" The old lady's eyes instantly burst into light, and the whole person seemed to be a few years younger.
"Thank you so much, kid, this is your hexagram money, take it quickly." The eldest lady said tremblingly, took out a few copper plates and handed them to Qin Chu.
Where was Qin Chu willing to accept her money, he waved his hand again and again, turned around and left with Ah Cheng.
"One, two, three......" As soon as he walked farther, Qin Chu couldn't help but stop, and counted the copper plates in his hand one by one, there were twenty-three!
"Now our dinner has settled." Qin Chu said happily.
