Chapter 35 Acquisition of Fern Roots

When he was about to arrive at Tian Da's mother's house, Lin Baozhu saw Qian sitting in front of the door rubbing hemp rope, chatting with several daughters-in-law by the way. 【Latest chapter reading. Walking up, she greeted people first, and then asked Uncle Tian and Aunt Tian if they were at home.

Qian is not stupid, he was happy to get food earlier, and now he sees Lin Baozhu with a basket in his hand, and thinks to himself, what rare things have he made? She was a person who could see things in her eyes, so she immediately stopped rubbing the hemp rope, smiled and said a few words to the people next to her, haha, and then led people into the yard.

Because I went to the market today, Uncle Tian was also a little tired, and he didn't go to the ground at this time. On the side, Aunt Ueda was also sitting cross-legged on the kang doing needlework, and there was a freshly sewn purse on the side. In these years, the croppers did not have much income, and the men could still go out to work and do coolies, so the women could only pick up the housework at home and take care of the children, and only when they had free time could they sew some purses to make women's red patches for the family.

Hearing the Qian family shouting that the Zhang family's brothers and sisters were coming, the two of them were afraid that it was Lin Baozhu. Aunt Tian hurriedly let people into the main house through the window, kicked her shoes and poured water on the kang table.

When someone came, Uncle Tian was embarrassed to rest on the kang, so he simply sat on the edge of the kang and smoked the old dry cigarette. It is said that it is tobacco, but in fact it is just an old tobacco leaf mixed with hay, what is there any energy, that is, it is just a pleasure to live in your spare time.

"Old man, you should smoke less, and look at the miasma that has made the house smoky." Aunt Tian introduced people into the house, and then said with a smile, "Your uncle has been around all his life, and he can't leave his old smoking gun when he is free."

Lin Baozhu naturally didn't really think that Aunt Tian was complaining about Uncle Tian, just listening to those words, she knew that it was full of tacit understanding and concern of the old husband and wife. Looking at the old couple in front of her, she was a little nostalgic for her father and mother in her previous life, and her father and mother often talked like this.

"The eldest lady is also concerned, but this tobacco leaf is a little rough, and I have a chance to let the full hoard send some good ones."

While a few people were talking, Lin Baozhu sat down and pushed out the basket he was carrying by the way, "This is my freshly fried oil shuttle, and I also baked a few white flour cakes, and I will bring them to you to taste the craftsmanship." ”

This time, there was no need for Aunt Tian to speak, Uncle Tian frowned and said: "Manho daughter-in-law, don't you dare to be so polite, you just married Manho, you can't always leak things out of your hands." ”

Uncle Tian is also a sincere person, and when he came back, when he heard the words of the Wang family's daughter-in-law, he was worried that Manho would really be estranged from the new daughter-in-law. Now I see that Lin Baozhu is sending meat shuttles and white flour cakes, where is he not worried, this is for fear of the Wang family's daughter-in-law. Besides, even if Lin Baozhu is honestly living with Manho, in case Manho is resentful because of her loose hands, how can the two of them live a stable life?

Speaking of which, he and Aunt Tian were still worried that Man Ho would have two hearts with Lin Baozhu because of these things.

"Hey, what Uncle said is, I remember." Lin Baozhu knew that Uncle Tian was for her good, and he was not hypocritical, and he did not show his generosity, but just responded respectfully. Seeing that Uncle Tian nodded with satisfaction, he smiled and began to get down to business, "There are really some things to discuss with Uncle and Aunt today, I learned to make some food earlier, and I took it while I was in the market, and I wanted to try my luck in the tavern to see if I could sell it to fill in the input." I didn't expect that I really got the attention of the shopkeeper, and I wanted to continue to supply. It's just that I have to use bracken roots for this food, so I thought about buying bracken roots in the village."

Before Lin Baozhu finished speaking, he saw Aunt Tian patting her thigh in agreement. After the two of them asked carefully, they nodded again and again, and read that it was a great blessing to be full of hoards, and said such a good daughter-in-law.

"It's a big deal, and it's a good thing, but it's better to go and talk to Li Zheng and put a name in front of him. In the future, if you encounter something high and low or find faults, you can have a reliance and let Li Zheng come out to comment. "Uncle Tian is more outside, although he is honest and sincere, he thinks more than the women.

"That's what I mean, so I'm not here to find the eldest lady, I want you to follow you to Lizheng's house." Lin Baozhu said with some embarrassment, "First, I am not familiar with the people in the village, and secondly, I have some confidence to have my aunt follow me." ”

If it had been placed in the past, Lin Baozhu would never hesitate, just bury his head and make money. But after staying in the village for a long time, I also understood in my heart that there are more things in the village than reasonable. In many cases, those people's spitting stars alone can drown people, not to mention the many people who spend their days thinking about the situation of other people's families. Besides, if Li Zheng's temperament is just on his own, he may not be able to negotiate.

"What's there to say, we'll go later. Don't delay. ”

After getting the letter, Lin Baozhu was naturally happy, and when he went to Lizheng's house, he specially said hello to Aunt Tian, went home and took the bag of coarse tea he bought before, and by the way, he loaded the rest of the pork shuttle.

Lin Baozhu has been in the village with Aunt Tian, and has met many neighbors who are doing work, compared to the beginning, these people's attitude towards Lin Baozhu is not a little better. Some will even take the initiative to say hello and say a few kind words.

As early as when Zhang Manchu and Zhang Laohan's family handed over the knot to write a letter of breaking off their relatives, many people knew the Tao in the Zhang family. In addition, Zhang Erbao didn't feel ashamed to marry Widow Du, who in the village didn't know that Zhang Laohan was broken. When I hadn't heard of these things before, I only felt that Zhang Manchu was a fierce master, and everyone was afraid of his notoriety, and he was even more afraid that he would go crazy and kill others. But now for Zhang Laohan and Zhang Erbao, how many people don't think Zhang Manchu is benevolent?

What's more, the old patriarch told the old lady that this Zhang Manchu is just a good person who looks at his reckless and cruel behavior, but is actually a good person who protects their village. Other people's words may be bad, but the old patriarch and the old lady are people who will not be partial, and no one in the village says no. Thinking of this, everyone naturally happily gave Lin Baozhu a good face, at least they no longer hid to the side in groups and muttered something as soon as they saw it as before.

Lin Baozhu can't take care of these now, and he doesn't have time to care about what others think. She only thought about what to say to Li Zheng for a while, since she always had to think carefully about things, it was best to be able to fall into a good place, and if she couldn't fall well, then don't delay her own money-making business.

Zhang Lizheng's house is in the main village, which can be regarded as the largest house in the village, but the aisle built outside is flat and flat, and even the mud pit is padded with soil, which is a few points wider than other people's houses. Not to mention the four magnificent and clean big tiled houses, which are also unique in Peachtree Bay.

At this point, it was just after lunch, and this Buli was sitting in a somewhat shabby Taishi chair, carrying a cigarette bag and a pot, squinting in the shade of the aisle.

"Uncle Lizheng." Lin Baozhu saw a few children running and jumping in the yard, thinking that it was the grandchildren of the Li Zheng family, and the mother-in-law of the Li Zheng family saw Lin Baozhu and Aunt Tian coming, as if she didn't see it, holding a shelf that clearly looked down on people. But Lin Baozhu doesn't care, she doesn't deal with her left and right, she doesn't care about holding a shelf, or looking at people with her nostrils up, as long as she doesn't get in the way of earning money by herself and can't see it.

Although he feels that Li Zheng is not a person who can afford to do things, but after all these years of operating in Pmoexpo, and he is the head of a village, his words must have weight. If you directly ask the old patriarch or the elder to help you speak, although you can do it, you will definitely offend Lizheng, and it will be difficult to say what will happen in the future. So at this time, Lin Baozhu opened his mouth, and naturally he was respectful.

Zhang Li, who was squinting, opened his eyelids, and when he saw that it was Lin Baozhu, he felt a little annoyed. To be honest, the last thing he wants to see now is Zhang Laohan's family, even if Lin Baozhu and Zhang Manchu have broken off their relationship with that side, they are still inevitably angry.

Not only for the two families to alarm the elders, but also for the ancestral hall, but more importantly, the matter between Zhang Erbao and Widow Du spread all over the world. Now as soon as he goes out, what he is most afraid of is running into Lizheng from the outer village, and that opening his mouth is definitely for that joke on him.

However, although he was not happy to see Lin Baozhu in his heart, he also understood the truth of reaching out and not hitting the smiling person. It can be said that not only is he not confused, but it can even be said that he knows very well that he can't really blame Lin Baozhu for a day with Zhang Manchu.

"What's the matter?" Although he opened his mouth to talk, his expression was lukewarm, salty, and light, and he clearly did not welcome anyone to come.

Seeing this, Aunt Tian said a few words on the side, haha, and helped Lin Baozhu compliment Li Zheng a few words, and then motioned to Lin Baozhu to hand over the things.

"It's not a big deal, I just want to make a living, and I want to harvest some bracken in the village." After a pause, Lin Baozhu continued, "At this time, it is difficult for the big guys to make a purchase, if you can dig up bracken all over the mountains and fields to sell, it can be regarded as a supplement for the family." ”

Seeing that Lin Baozhu was talking about this, Zhang Lizheng began to face her squarely. After thinking about it, he said: "If I didn't pour cold water on you, there are not hundreds of wild vegetables in our village or even seven or eight villages in the vicinity that go to the town to sell wild vegetables, but they can earn a lot of money." If you want to resell wild vegetables, beware of the losses outweigh the cost of copper plates. ”

In the early days, when the women in the village were fine, they would just dig baskets of wild vegetables and sell them, and some of the bold ones would go to restaurants or villages to sell, and even more would find the rich and noble families to buy and buy for some convenience. As a result, some were sold, but they were all sold cheaply, and the wild vegetables in the mountains did not have a master's home, and because of this, it was not worth the money at all.

Let's just say that his mother-in-law still got through the excitement, digging for several days, and her tired arms and legs hurt every day, and as a result, she sold for less than five cents. If you have that kind of work, you might as well make money by making a connection to the embroidery workshop.
