Chapter 2 Red Eggs
The coachman was surprised: "There is such a good thing? ”
"That's natural, my son-in-law is a good person."
The coachman smiled, and did not answer the call to concentrate on catching the car, but his heart had changed his opinion of this newcomer.
The town is indeed quite far from Wangjia Village, and it took more than half an hour for Xiaoyun to arrive at the entrance of the town.
"I'll send you here, okay?"
"You're going to be busy?"
"Well, my mother asked me to come out today to buy something for her, I was afraid that it would be gone if I was late, so I went first."
Xiaoyun nodded, paid the money and thanked him, and then walked into the town by himself to buy what he wanted.
She first went to the vegetable market on the side of the road to buy a fish, and then went to the other side to buy a whole basket of eggs, she didn't know how many households there were in the village, it was always not wrong to buy more, and more could be placed at home to make up for her son's body.
After buying these, she ran to the side grocery store, bought some daily necessities, and waited until she couldn't hold her hands anymore before she went back to the town to find out if there was any ox cart to go back.
It just so happened that the coachman who sent Xiaoyun was going back, and when he saw Xiaoyun, he gave her a ride, and of course, in the end, Xiaoyun still gave five copper plates.
After arriving at the door of the house, the coachman helped Xiaoyun move things out of the car together, and the coachman was so old that he hadn't seen so many eggs, he was surprised: "How much does it cost to have so many eggs?" ”
"My son-in-law said that we had just arrived and wanted to have a good relationship with the neighbors, so I specially asked me to go to the town to buy eggs and deliver them door-to-door." Xiaoyun said: "Money is not important, Childe said that the heart is the most important." ”
……
Cheng Qing woke up from sleep, but before he could fully wake up, he was busy shouting Xiaoyun: "Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun..."
After shouting for a while, Cheng Qing remembered that Xiaoyun seemed to have gone to the town to buy something, and after lying on the bed and sobering up for a while, he put on his shoes and changed his clothes, and slowly walked to the yard.
Cheng Qing walked to the kitchen, it was much cleaner than just now, it seemed that Xiaoyun had cleaned it before leaving, he walked back to the yard, looked at the tree that occupied a lot of land at home, and stretched his waist silently, planning to put away some tables and chairs in the lobby that had not been moved.
Hearing the noisy sound at the door, Cheng Qing poked his head out of the lobby curiously: "Is Xiaoyun back?" ”
"Huh! Childe, it's me back! Xiaoyun said loudly: "Childe is up?" ”
"Well, do you want help at the door?"
"No need, Childe can sit down for a while." Xiaoyun sped up, and the coachman saw that she was a little girl, and offered to help her carry the eggs in.
Xiaoyun was pleasantly surprised: "That's troublesome." ”
The coachman helped pick up the egg basket, Xiaoyun also quickly pushed the door open, let the coachman in, Xiaoyun took the person to the kitchen, and after thanking him repeatedly, the coachman drove the ox cart away.
Cheng Qing saw the back of the coachman and wondered, "Who is that person?" ”
"It's from the village, I rode his ox cart back and forth, the egg basket was too heavy, I asked him to help take it."
"Oh, everything bought?"
"Yes, Childe wants to go and see?"
"No need, you go get busy, just tell me if there's anything you need me to do." Cheng Qing was a little tired from moving a few tables, so he could only sit on the chair and talk weakly.
Xiaoyun heard Cheng Qing's somewhat struggling voice, and said worriedly, "What's wrong with Childe?" How can you speak weakly, are you tired? ”
Cheng Qing waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, you go to be your own, I'm fine." ”
"Are you alright?"
"Well, I'm a little tired from moving the table just now, just take a break."
"Eh, then I'll boil the eggs."
"Okay."
Xiao Yun went to the kitchen to get busy, Cheng Qing took a break in the lobby, feeling that the rest was almost over, he slowly stood up and walked to the kitchen door, saw Xiao Yun poured a bunch of red things into the pot, and wondered: "Xiao Yun, what do you pour into the pot?" ”
"Why did Childe come to the kitchen? It's smoky here, so you might as well go and sit in the courtyard. ”
"What are you pouring into it?"
"When I first bought eggs, I asked the old man who sold the eggs, and the old man said that the customs here are different from those in other places, and said that red eggs should be sent here, so I bought red yeast rice at a nearby store, which can dye the eggs red." Xiaoyun explained.
"That's right." Cheng Qing nodded: "Okay, you can do it, call me when you get it, let's send it together." ”
"Okay, Childe go sit in the yard for a while."
Cheng Qing was driven into the yard again, and when he was idle, he looked at the small tree in the yard that was an eyesore, and felt that this tree was indeed obstructing his eyes. So he ran to the side of the storage room, rummaged through a pile of dusty farm tools, and finally found a shovel, rinsed it with water a little, and the shovel revealed its original appearance.
"Childe, what are you busy with?" Xiaoyun heard the movement in the yard, and thought that something was happening at home, so he hurriedly walked out and asked.
"I plan to renovate the trees in the yard, these trees not only do not look good and do not grow at all, I will see if they can be saved, if they can be saved, it is the best, if they are not saved, they will simply be burned as firewood, it is not a waste, and I will go to the town in two days to buy some small saplings, which will definitely look better than this one."
Xiaoyun nodded understandingly and asked, "Do you want me to help?" ”
Cheng Qingzhi said proudly: "No, I'll come by myself, you go and do your own thing." ”
"Huh." Although Xiaoyun was extremely uneasy, he still obeyed Cheng Qing's wishes, went back to the kitchen, and cooked the eggs one by one.
However, Xiaoyun's worries are still very reasonable, Cheng Qing finished pulling up the soil around the tree, and when he wanted to uproot the tree, although the tree was not big, the roots were heavy, so there was no accident, the tree fell to the ground, and Cheng Qing could only look at the tree, silently not knowing what to do.
Cheng Qing wanted to straighten up the tree, but the disparity in strength was huge, and he had no choice between face and trees, so he had no choice but to shout loudly to Xiaoyun from the kitchen to come out and help.
The two of them worked together to change the position of the tree, Cheng Qing saw that although the roots of the tree were thick and missing, most of the roots had already died, and knew that the tree could not be saved.
"Childe, what now? Do we want this tree or not? ”
"Trees that want to die are wasted to be kept." Cheng Qing said mercilessly: "Go and bring the axe, just cut down this tree now and burn it as firewood." ”
"Eh, okay." Xiaoyun ran to the kitchen and took the axe in the firewood room to Cheng Qing, but fortunately, the branches and branches were not big, and Cheng Qing waved a few axes, and the tree was almost torn apart.
The two of them worked together to move the cut wood to the kitchen, Cheng Qing returned to the yard and buried the soil, the whole yard was spacious, I don't know how much, Cheng Qing was extremely satisfied.
After all the eggs were cooked, Xiaoyun put the eggs in several baskets, and she and Cheng Qing carried the small baskets to the village to deliver the eggs.
Cheng Qing tried his best to deliver it to every household, and when he met a child, he gave two more, so another sentence was circulated in the village: This new Shuang'er is really rich...
There are fewer and fewer eggs in the basket, more and more people are walking by, and Cheng Qing and Xiaoyun's mouths are about to burst into flames when they say hello, but fortunately, there are still a few more families to end.
"Xiaoyun, how many families are there?" Cheng Qing squatted down and rubbed his ankles, this foot would be useless if he walked any further.
"Originally, there were three households, but one of them was from the Li Chang's family, and I just heard from Aunt Hu that the Li Chang family went to other places a few days ago as a guest, and they will come back in a few days, so there are only two families left, and the son will hold on a little longer." Xiaoyun took the basket in Cheng Qing's hand and asked him to rest a little.
Cheng Qing nodded: "Then you have to inquire when the chief will come back, but you can't forget." ”
"Eh, don't worry, Xiaoyun remembers."
Now that they have reached the innermost part of the village, Cheng Qing looked at the few houses that were indeed left alone, stood up, and said to Xiaoyun, "Okay, let's go." ”
Cheng Qing and Xiaoyun walked all the way and arrived at the door of a family, this family should be good, the door is clean, not to mention, there are even two trees planted at the gate, it seems that it is the kind of family with a solid family.
Just as Xiaoyun was about to knock on the door and enter, he heard screams from inside the house.
A woman, a snarky woman.
"I don't know what your nephew thinks, just like him, the family is about to be unable to open the pot, and he still wants to buy land, and his heart is really big enough! picked up a son, I don't know who gave birth to the dirty thing, he is still a treasure, I said you have a few words, you also persuade your nephew, let him marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, so that you can inherit the lineage for your Wang family! ”
Cheng Qing didn't want to listen to it more, but the sound was too loud, and it was difficult for him to pay attention to it. In the past, in the village, as long as it was a family that was unclear at home or a woman with a long tongue at home, there were many such things, as long as you listened to it for a day or two, the whole village knew everything clearly!
The feeling of being lost for a long time came to his heart, and Xiaoyun decided to listen to a corner today. And Cheng Qing wanted to tell her that she couldn't do such a thing, but she looked at Xiao Yun, who showed her child's interest, and stood beside her helplessly, some of them didn't listen to what was being said, just that she was still young, and besides, their own voices were too loud, he and Xiao Yun just wanted to send them some eggs.
"You don't care about him, how he loves! Didn't the matchmaker you look for the girl you found hurt Zhili alive? A hoarse man's voice came out, with displeasure in his tone, and more helplessness.
The woman began to curse in a sharp voice: "Yo, I have thought so much about your Wang family, and I will be scolded by you when I come?" Wang Zhili has a son, the family is poor, and it would be good if a girl's family wanted him, and he still picked it? ”
"Are you looking for a normal girl's house? One by one's reputations stinks, isn't this a shame on our Wang family in vain? ”
