The couple played with the child for a while, then leaned together to talk again, Rui Xue reached out and pulled the child's father's clothes, while looking at the delicate cloud patterns on it, and said, "Amber's friend is here, that is, at noon dinner, maybe he is a monk, and he wants to eat vegetarian dishes?" ”

Zhao Fengnian raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, vaguely guessing in his heart, and said, "Amber didn't say that he invited the family to entertain?" ”

"No, Amber said that I don't have to worry about it," Rui Xue raised her head and looked at the door, then leaned on Zhao Fengnian's ear and smiled softly, "You say, can it be that the master in the Emei Taoist Temple is here, when I was young, I had some entanglements with Amber, and now that I am old, I want to regain my relationship..."

Zhao Fengnian couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, he stretched out his hand to knock on her head, but he was a little reluctant, so he had to gently rub two handfuls and said, "Don't guess, the monks are all worshipping God and worshipping Buddha, don't make a stoma!" Besides, there is no place called Emei in this world, where did you hear about it, it is a nunnery? “

Rui Xue also remembered that this was another time and space, and playfully stuck out her tongue, and quickly changed the topic, "The rice has been sent to everyone?" ”

"Well, after the distribution, several people in the workshop have sent ten catties of white rice."

"That's good, tomorrow I will send some to Brother Xu, Brother Ma, and Ma Shiyi's family, and the shopkeeper Cheng in the city can't forget it." Ruixue counted them down and said, "Shopkeeper, you said that this is the time when the new cotton comes down, and the price of the old cotton must be lowered." Why don't we give up money and ask Brother Xu and them to go south and buy back the cotton and cloth that they want to give up? ”

Zhao Fengnian nodded, "If you don't mention it, I will also talk about it, buying during this period of time can indeed save a lot of money, let's collect it at a price one percent lower than the market price, and they can make a lot of money." ”

"Then tomorrow morning, I will ask Sister-in-law Zhang to send a letter to Brother Xu and Brother Ma, invite them to come for a drink in the evening, and talk about it, they will definitely be willing. When the cotton and cloth are bought, they should be given out early, and don't wait until it gets cold, it will be late. ”

"Okay, listen to you."

The couple were snuggling together, talking happily, when they suddenly heard footsteps and low voices outside the window, "Don't pull my clothes, I just heard if my sister woke up?" This is obviously Niuniu's voice, as expected, with her is Wu Yu, this kid is when he changes his voice, his voice seems to be a lot rougher overnight, and he can hear it clearly no matter how he lowers it, "My sister hasn't woken up yet, don't bother her, if you're disobedient, be careful that I beat you!" ”

"Hmph," Niu Niu retorted unconvinced, "I'm pretty much beating you!" ”

"Let's fight!"

"Okay, just fight!"

"Let's go, go to the front yard!"

The two argued and left again.

Rui Xue chuckled, "Niuniu, this girl is a rectum, and she is always led by Brother Yu'er's nose." ”

Zhao Fengnian has always disliked praising his brother-in-law, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's good to be straight, so you have to guess your thoughts, it's too tiring." ”

Of course, Rui Xue knew that he was alluding to Wu Yu's deep thoughts, but she didn't hear it, got up and straightened her sideburns, and said, "It's the beginning of Shen Shichu, cook a few good dishes in the evening, and our own family will also celebrate the harvest." ”

Zhao Fengnian was reluctant to let her get tired, so he said, "Let Caiyun Caiyue be busy, you just sit on the side and watch it." ”

"Got it, everything in your account has been disposed of?"

"No, I'm going too."

The couple got off the kang, Caiyun Caiyue immediately came in with a basin of water, first waited for Zhao Fengnian to wash his hands and face, and sent him out, Ruixue re-tied a simple snail sideburns, fixed them with two silver hairpins, and changed into a coarse cloth dress to go to the stove, and was thinking about what to cook, Niuniu ran in with a smile on her face and shouted, "Sister, I'm hungry." ”

Wu Yu then came in, frowning and muttering, "You know how to eat, you can eat better than a pig." ”

Needless to say, the battle between them ended in Niuniu's victory, Rui Xue stretched out her hand to send the dust from the corner of the clothes for her younger brother, and said angrily, "A manly man, how can you laugh at your sister if you are open-minded?" ”

Wu Yu stretched out his hand and hugged his sister's arm, and said angrily, "Niuniu actually learned to cheat!" ”

Rui Xue laughed, "I've been crazy with you all day long, and I can't learn to cheat, but I'm a fool." ”

Wu Yu hung his head and was knocked twice by Ruixue, "In the past two days, you have worked hard to help harvest rice, what do you want to eat at night, say, my sister will do it." ”

Niuniu was moving a chair over to do it for her sister, and when she heard this, she immediately smiled and wanted to speak, but she was so frightened by Wu Yu's glaring that she immediately swallowed it back, her big eyes rolled, and she changed her words, "Sister is tired, let's wait a few days to do it." ”

Regardless of whether this was taught by Wu Yu or not, after all, this girl has tried to be considerate of others, this is something to encourage, Rui Xue pulled her to her, kissed her twice on the head, and said with a smile, "Oh, Niu Niu knows that she feels sorry for her sister, her sister is so happy, this is going to be rewarded, so let's do it, my sister will cook some delicious food for you in a while." ”

"Really, great, thank you, sister, Niuniu don't want to eat good, Niuniu wants to eat a bag!"

"Okay, okay, that's not easy, just stew the rice and you'll be done."

Wu Yu looked at his sister holding Niuniu and said happily, his heart was sour, and he squeezed and hugged his sister's other arm, and said, "I want to eat too." ”

Rui Xue laughed, "Yes, there are more than 100 bags of rice at home, which is enough for you to eat for ten years." ”

The three sisters (sisters) were talking and laughing, Amber came in from outside the door with his hands behind his back and a smile, and said, "Snow girl, steam a few more drawers of vegetarian stuffed buns at night." ”

As soon as Wu Yu heard that this old man wanted his sister to do the food, he was about to open his mouth to speak, but Rui Xue pulled his sleeves, then got up and said with a smile, "Amber, it's too late to make noodles, it's better to steam a few drawers of vegetarian dumplings." ”

"It's okay, you can adjust the flavor of the filling, and the rest should be done by two little girls, don't tire me up." After the old man finished speaking, he went out again slowly.

Ruixue took the two children back to change clothes and wash their faces, and then took Caiyun Caiyue to blanch the vermicelli and cabbage, chopped it, took out the water, and took a piece of tofu and crushed it with a spoon, the vegetable oil in the pot, the green onion and ginger fried the pot, and then put the vermicelli and cabbage tofu into it to fry the fragrance, add some fine salt, and then, directly combined the dough with half hot and half warm water, wrapped six or seven drawers of dumplings, and when steaming in the pot, fried a few simple and light side dishes, and boiled a pot of new rice porridge.

The dumplings came out of the pot, and the first one picked up four drawers and packed the food boxes, and asked Caiyue to send them to Amber, and when the table was set, the old man also came back, and the family ate and slept peacefully.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ruixue invited Sister-in-law Zhang to come over and told her about going south to buy cotton cloth and cotton, and Sister-in-law Zhang agreed very much, so she said, "To tell the truth, the catastrophe that my sister suffered a few days ago can come back safely, thanks to doing good deeds on weekdays, God remembers it for my sister, how can I make you suffer, my sister is having a better life now, and it is a great thing to accumulate more blessings for the child." ”

As she spoke, she got up and said, "I'll go to the dock and find Gang Master Xu to go, and they can take care of this job." After saying that, he went out to the dock in a hurry.

Rui Xue took the moon of stepping on the clouds, Zhang Luo divided the white rice that was going to be sent to the Xu family and the Ma family, looked left and right, and felt that it was thin, so he added two more boxes of snacks baked a few days ago, and then put them aside. Sitting under the laurel tree, he picked up the household account book, and before he could read two pages, he heard Yun Xiaoliu reply outside the second gate, "Boss lady, the two helpers of Xu and Ma from the dock came to the door, and the shopkeeper was accompanying him, asking the boss to prepare some refreshments." ”

Rui Xue responded, "Got it." ”

Caiyun Caiyue hurriedly picked up the account book, Zhang Luo tea and snack box, Zhao Fengnian also accompanied Xu and Ma to step in, Rui Xue got up and saluted with a smile, Xu and Ma hurriedly stepped forward to stop, for fear that she would squeeze her stomach, so she said, "My sister is my own family, what do you care about these false courtesies, sit down quickly." ”

Zhao Fengnian also stepped forward to help her sit down on the widest back chair, and said, "Brother doesn't care, sit down quickly." ”

Seeing that the pregnancy was approaching eight months, Ruixue's belly was inflating faster than the balloon that was blown, and anyone who saw it couldn't help but be nervous, for fear that she would fall or bump into it.

The four of them sat down, Caiyun stepped forward to serve, but was stopped by Rui Xue, poured tea for Xu Kuan and Ma Lao Liu with his own hands, and pushed the box in front of them, and said with a smile, "Brother Xu, Second Brother Ma, come from the dock, let's be tired, eat some snacks first, I'll cook at noon and cook a few good dishes for you." ”

Xu Kuan and Ma Lao Liu saw that her family business was so prosperous now, and they poured tea for them with their own hands as if they were at the dock, they both felt very dignified and warm, so they said, "Sister, take care of yourself now, we can rest assured, where do you dare to cook and cook, when will you give birth to a little nephew and little niece, take care of your body, and we will drink again." ”

"Okay, when the time comes, bring my sister-in-law and the children to walk around."

After a few words of gossip, Xu Kuan and Ma Lao Liu couldn't bear the eagerness in their hearts, so they asked, "Sister, I heard Sister-in-law Zhang say that you want to give the gang a big deal." ”

Rui Xue chuckled, "What's the big deal, it's just going south to buy some cotton and cloth." My husband and I were so poor that the two brothers had seen it, thanks to the care of the neighbors, plus three points of luck, we put down the family business now, we thought about buying some cotton and fabric, and gave it to the poor old people in Shili Eight Villages before the winter, which was regarded as a return for the kindness of the villagers, and also accumulated some good fortune for the children in my belly. ”

Xu Kuan and Ma Lao Liu only listened to Zhang's sister-in-law say a few words in the shop in the morning, and some guests came to eat, and the matter was reversed, they couldn't bear it, so they ran to inquire first, originally thought that the Zhao family was going to do this cotton cloth business, where did they think that it was to give it to the poor old man, they all gave a thumbs up and praised, "Sister and Mr. are really kind-hearted, and there will be good rewards." ”

Zhao Fengnian shook his head, refilled the tea for them, and said, "Qinglin City in the south produces more cotton and cotton cloth, at this time, the merchants must buy more new cotton and new cloth, and the price of old cotton must drop by about three percent. ”

The Zhao family is ready to give up 500 pieces of cotton clothes, according to a piece of five coins of silver is two hundred and fifty taels, two percent of the hands are fifty taels, back and forth to Qinglin City is only four days, and it is effortless to transport, but three or four people can be transported back smoothly, this is really a good deal. The most important thing is that this matter has pointed out a way for the Peishui Gang to make money, if the money accumulated in the gang for most of the half a year is taken out, and some cotton and cloth are bought together, and the weather is cold in a month or two, and the price of cotton rises, wouldn't it be another profit.
