After arriving at the new home, Yang Changfa went in first, and then Xiao Yue went in again, she still had to worship God everywhere at home, Yang Changfa and other people who came to help went to Yang's house to move the rest of the things, and the people of the Xiao family and An An's father and mother, as well as several families who had a good relationship with Yang Changfa, came.

After moving home, it's time to pick up the bottom of the pot, this is a way to celebrate, Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa went to the town to buy some vegetables and meat, chicken and fish, etc., since they have moved out, then the life has to be good, in order to celebrate they will make a very hearty meal at the bottom of the pot.

Of course, the people from the Yang family also came, but they didn't bring anything, they just came to sit at the table, but the eyes of the Lin family and the Li family were full of jealousy.

When the people in the village come over, they all bring a little bit of their own things, a handful of vegetables, a pound of noodles, a few eggs, etc., everyone is also a heart.

After the lively dinner was over, everyone was satisfied, they had never seen those dishes at all, let alone eating, everyone praised Yang Changfa's great ability.

After sending everyone away, Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue could finally take a rest, the two were sitting in the courtyard and talking, when they saw a woman walking outside with tattered clothes, a face full of vicissitudes, and gray hair.

Her face was full of wrinkles, and her whole person was thin, Xiao Yue was still wondering who this was, so the woman spoke, "Changfa!" ”

Yang Changfa looked at her uncertain mouth for a long time, "Sister-in-law, are you sister-in-law?" ”

The woman nodded with tears in her eyes, and Yang Changfa hurriedly pulled her to sit down, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" How to ......" Yang Changfa's words were not finished, because Sister-in-law Yang has really changed too much, in his memory, Sister-in-law is beautiful and gentle, and the most important thing is that she has a smile on her face.

Aunt Yang shook her head and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Sister-in-law is fine, it's okay, I just miss you." ”

Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue didn't believe Aunt Yang's words, but Aunt Yang obviously didn't want them to worry and changed the topic, "I heard that you have built a new house this time, so I want to come back to see you." ”

"Well, we also miss my sister-in-law, and my sister-in-law will come back often if she is free."

Aunt Yang nodded with tears in her eyes, and only after a long time of relieving herself did she say: "Changfa, you have now split up and built a house, and you have to live a good life in the future, you must be considerate of each other, hurry up and have a child, you are not young anymore, there is always hope for a good life." ”

Aunt Yang's words made Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue glance at each other, how did they feel that these words were like explaining what was going on, and the last sentence didn't seem to be said to them.

"Okay, seeing that you are all good, my sister-in-law will be relieved, and I will go back."

Yang Changfa spoke, "Sister-in-law, you can sit down for a while, why are you in a hurry to go back." ”

"No, there's something to do when I go back, I'm leaving."

"Then sister-in-law, be careful on the road. Where do you live now? I'll go see you when I have time. ”

Aunt Yang waved her hand when she heard this, obviously unwilling to say more.

Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue didn't ask anymore, and the two sent Yang Xiaogu out together.

"Go back, I'm leaving." Aunt Yang hurriedly left.

Xiao Yue asked Yang Changfa, "Changfa, what's the matter with my sister-in-law?" ”

Yang Changfa sighed and walked back to the courtyard, sat down and said: "My sister-in-law is my grandfather's old daughter, she used to be beautiful and diligent and capable, she married Feng Xiucai in the town when I was born, and a year later my uncle went to other counties to be an official, at first there was news and then slowly lost contact, after my uncle became an official, he accepted several concubines, and married a merchant girl as a flat wife, and then there was no news of my sister-in-law, I don't know why I always feel that my sister-in-law seems to have an accident." ”

Xiao Yue nodded, Aunt Yang gave people the feeling that she had suffered a lot at a glance, she should be about the same age as Zheng, but she looked ten years older than Zheng, "Does sister-in-law have children?" ”

"Yes, at that time, it was because my sister-in-law was pregnant that my uncle did not divorce my sister-in-law, and the merchant girl she married could only be a flat wife, and my sister-in-law had a pair of twin sons, and I don't know why I didn't go with my sister-in-law this time."

"Is it that my sister-in-law's children are not good to her?"

"I don't know, I've only seen them as a kid."

"What's going on?"

"I lived with my grandfather when I was three years old, and at that time, my sister-in-law often brought things back to my grandfather, and I would come back for the Chinese New Year, and I saw my sister-in-law's son. Later, I don't know why, there is no news from my sister-in-law, and even my sister-in-law did not come back after my grandfather died. ”

Xiao Yue pondered, "It seems that we should ask my sister-in-law, I always feel that what my sister-in-law said today gives people a bad feeling." ”

Yang Changfa nodded in agreement.

After moving into the new house, the two of them were going to buy chickens and pigs at the market and buy an ox cart by the way.

After eating, the two followed Daddy Xiao and Zheng to the town together. Daddy Xiao will look at the livestock, buy an ox cart and ask him to help look at it, Zheng is to buy some fabric cotton to prepare to make quilts, Xiao family since the bean sprouts business, a month has an income of almost 10 taels of silver, Zheng's hands are also a lot looser, she is ready to make a few thick quilts.

When it came time to the bazaar, Zheng went to Buzhuang. Daddy Xiao, Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue went to the livestock market. The cattle market is in the middle of nowhere in the middle of town, and the smell is really bad.

Daddy Xiao took them to the place where the cattle were sold, and looked at each cow carefully, because they were buying cattle and pulling carts, so the cattle had to have strength.

Xiao Yue didn't know how to choose a cow, but Daddy Xiao and Yang Changfa talked all the way, and finally chose a one-year-old cow.

Father Xiao smiled with satisfaction and said: "Yue'er, Changfa, this cow is good, you see that this cow is strong, the limbs are thick and well-proportioned, the fur is smooth and moist, the eyes are bright, the food is also more, the bowel movements are normal, not bad, this is it." Yang Changfa was obviously also satisfied, and the cow nodded in agreement.

The owner of the cow was a middle-aged man, and when he saw them busy, he said to Daddy Xiao, "Uncle, this cow is good." ”

Daddy Xiao nodded, "Yes, how did you sell this cow." ”

The man smiled, "Uncle, you know the price of this cow, it's all 15 taels." ”

Father Xiao also knew the price, so he said to Yang Changfa: "Okay, Changfa, this cow is worth this price." ”

Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa had no opinion, and the three of them followed the owner of the cow to the yamen. At this time, it is not allowed to slaughter cattle privately, and it is necessary to go to the yamen to open a certificate to facilitate unified management.

I went to the yamen to open a certificate and pay the money to the owner of the cow. This cow was sent by Xiao Yue and Yang Chang, and by the way, they spent 5 taels of silver to equip the cow with an ox cart.

Yang Changfa drove his own ox cart, and the three of them were about to go to the Zheng family to meet, and when they came to the intersection, a group of people gathered together and didn't know what was going on. The intersection was blocked and they couldn't walk, so the three of them went over to take a look.

It turned out that the official in charge of the cattle market was driving a donkey seller. The official said to the donkey seller, "Hurry up, look at your big neck, who knows what disease you have, this place is full of livestock, if you get sick, can you afford to pay for it?" ”

The donkey seller said pitifully: "Brother Guancha, no, many people have suffered from this disease." ”

The official glanced at the man with disdain, "Who knows that your illness is the same as someone else's, hurry up and talk less nonsense." ”

The official drove the people one by one, and the donkey seller could only pull the donkey away. Xiao Yue saw that person's illness and knew that he had goiter, commonly known as big neck disease. At this time, people don't know that this is because of the lack of iodine, and they feel that the disease is terrible just by seeing the big neck.

Xiao Yue walked a few steps quickly, "Uncle, wait." ”

The man turned around and saw Xiao Yue, "Girl, what's the matter!" ”

"Uncle, how long have you been sick?"

The man's eyes were red, "It's been a month or two, and I don't know what's going on, my neck is swollen, and then everyone in the family slowly got this disease, and I don't have money and can't afford to see a doctor, my son's illness is getting worse and worse, I can only pull out the donkey in the family and sell it to treat him." ”

"Uncle, I know a home remedy, you can go buy some kelp and cook it at home." Kombu is kelp, which is rich in iodine.

The man's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Really?" ”

"Yes, you can go quickly."

The man thanked him again and again, "Thank you, girl, thank you, girl, I'll go." "The price of the kelp was not expensive, and the man did not sell the donkey.

Xiao Yue watched the man leave, and said to Daddy Xiao and Yang Changfa, "Dad, Changfa, let's go back quickly." ”

On the way, Daddy Xiao asked, "Yue'er, how do you know that Kunbu cures big neck disease." ”

"I once heard someone say that no one around me had this disease, so I didn't say it."

Daddy Xiao did not doubt him, after the three of them met with Zheng's, when Zheng's went to Buzhuang, Xiao Yue remembered that there was only a mattress made by her after marrying and 3 quilts she married.

The chicken coop and pigsty at home were also done, and Xiao Yue bought chicken seedlings and piglets. The people in the village buy piglets at the beginning of spring, and sell or kill them during the Chinese New Year. Although Xiao Yue is a few months late in buying piglets now, it will be more than 100 catties by the time of the New Year, although it is a little small, it can also be killed or sold. With Zheng's help, he bought 20 chicks, 10 duck chicks and 3 piglets.

I also bought cabbage, cucumbers, cowpeas, celery seeds, tomato seedlings, eggplant seedlings, pepper seedlings, and leek roots. Tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers all need to be raised, and now it is a little late, so Xiao Yue simply bought vegetable seedlings and went back to plant them directly. Leeks have to be transplanted because they are planted from seeds. After transplanting, the first one or two ripe leeks are very fine, so I bought leek roots and went back to plant them directly, and the first time I applied fertilizer, it would not be very fine. In her previous life, Xiao Yue liked to have more varieties of vegetables when she ate, so she left a large vegetable plot and bought more seeds.

I went to the grain store and grocery store to buy the things that the family needed, and drove back with two ox carts.

On the way, Yang Changfa and Daddy Xiao chatted with the ox cart one after another, and slowly returned home.

After returning home and eating, Xiao Yue followed Yang Changfa to loosen the soil and fertilize the vegetable field, and planted the vegetable seeds according to the category in the evening. Vegetable seedlings and leek roots should also be planted at a suitable row spacing and plant spacing, and the vegetable field can be watered once. The weather is very hot and the sun is scorching, so water the vegetable field every evening until the seeds germinate and the vegetable seedlings grow new leaves, and you can only water the vegetable field when it is particularly dry.

Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa continued to do business after they moved, and now the weather is too hot to be good, so Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa's business is getting better and better, and the two of them can earn 2 or 3 taels of silver every time they catch the market.

On this day's rally, the two also went to the rally early, and now the business is good, so the cold skin and braised pork were sold out in the middle of the morning, and the two passed by Fuxingju when they went home, and saw the high shopkeeper.

He was sending someone away outside the restaurant, and when he saw Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa also greeting each other, "Brother Changfa, brother and sister, have you sold out of your things?" "Shopkeeper Gao also knows that Xiao Yue and Yang Changfa are doing business, but that thing is just a snack, not suitable for a restaurant, and those who come to the restaurant are from good families, and they don't know how to eat pigs at all, so Shopkeeper Gao didn't have a way to buy Xiao Yue's thing.

Yang Changfa smiled and said, "Yes, it's a hot day, and business is not bad." ”

The shopkeeper Gao politely said to Yang Changfa and Xiao Yue: "Brother Changfa, brother and sister, come in and drink saliva!" ”
