Chapter 134: The big cow is a merchant
Liu Hua saw the disgust in Zhang Tiezhu's eyes, and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"I forgot, which man dares to ask for a woman like me, maybe he will suspect that I am sick."
Zhang Tiezhu felt that she was like a madman now, but he still couldn't watch her die.
"You're still young, and it's not worth dying for you." Zhang Tiezhu said.
"I'm not going to die, how can I live. There is no place to live, there is nothing, how can you let me live as a woman? ”
"Then you can't seek death." Zhang Tiezhu also began to have tendons, anyway, he couldn't let her die today.
"What does it have to do with you if I die?"
"Originally, it didn't matter, but I saw it, then it has something to do with me, if I watch you seek death and don't stop it, then my conscience can't get by, and my heart will condemn myself." Zhang Tiezhu told her the stakes very seriously.
"I see that you are sick, and you are not allowed to follow me again, and then follow me and I will not be finished with you." After Liu Hua finished speaking, she turned around and ran.
Seeing this, Zhang Tiezhu immediately pulled out his legs to chase after him, taking Liu Hua's warning as a deaf ear.
……
At noon, the big cow came back, she saw a cart of grain dragged behind the sunspots, as well as pots or something, in short, some necessary supplies, and she began to feel sorry for her own sunspots.
No need to ask, she knew that these were for the people of the village.
No, the big cow has just arrived home, and everyone has come here before he has sat down.
"Big Niu, have you brought our things back?"
"Bring it back, this is your bag of rice, the rice is 50 catties a bag bought at the price you said, and this pot is 60 yuan a ......"
Da Niu quoted the price of the things one by one, and everyone took the things and gave the corresponding money and then went back to cook.
Soon, there were four strips of rice left in a cart of things, and some vegetables.
"Xiaoran, I'll send the rice to Quanzi's house, and I'll come over in a while."
She nodded, and after the big cow left with the rice, she turned over the things on the carriage.
Flipping through it, she saw a bag of oiled paper holding something, picked it up and opened it to see.
The seeds, which were smaller than sesame seeds, looked familiar, but she just couldn't remember what they were.
The big cow came back from delivering the things, watched her stare at the bag of seeds, and walked over to tell her where the seeds came from.
"This is an old man's bun I gave today, and the old man gave it, and it looks like it should be strawberry seeds."
"Strawberry seeds?" Her eyes widened in surprise, if this was really a strawberry seed, then she would have strawberries to eat in the future.
Seriously, she hasn't seen strawberries on the street yet, so she can't make a fortune growing strawberries.
Zhang Daniu looked at her fugue and shouted twice in her ear.
"Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran."
"Ah, what do you want me to do?"
"You looked so obscene just now." Da Niu laughed.
She glared at the bull, and then pushed back: "You're just obscene, by the way, you can grow strawberries?" ”
Da Niu shook his head: "I won't, Xiaoran, you won't?" ”
"What if I asked you? Forget it, there are quite a lot of them anyway, let's try to plant some in a pot first. ”
Da Niu nodded, agreeing with what she said. Then he touched his belly.
"Xiaoran, is the meal ready?"
"Okay, in the pot, serve it yourself." With that, she wrapped the seeds and laid them on the windowsill, and then she went to the side to get her tools.
Seeing this, Da Niu immediately stopped her: "Xiaoran, what are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to dig some fertile soil and come back."
Hearing this, the big bull walked up to her and reached out and snatched the tool from her hand.
"I'll get it after dinner."
"Okay." She went to the kitchen.
The new home is much better than the original, but there is nothing in the furniture, and the two can only stand in front of the stove to eat.
"Tomorrow I'll go chop some bamboo and come back, and make a table and a few chairs."
"Well, I really need to get a table, so it's not a problem to stand up and eat every day, by the way, the price of rice has not increased!"
"Well, it's still the same price, but a shop has raised the price." The bull nodded.
"Is it the one we bought rice from the first time?"
Zhang Daniu nodded.
"Just that shop, sooner or later, it will close its doors one day." To this day, she remembers the woman's face when she was selling.
With that service attitude, guests who have been there for the first time will not go for the second time.
Fortunately, the other merchants who sold rice in the town did not take the opportunity to raise the price this time, which is also a good thing.
Zhang Daniu knew that she still remembered the situation of buying rice, so he smiled and did not speak.
After the meal, Da Niu went out with a basket on her back and led the sunspot out, while she cleaned up at home.
Just after packing up the little seedlings, they came.
"Auntie."
"The little seedlings are here." She smiled, and then saw that Xiao Miaozi's mother had also come.
Chen He entered the door and took out the counted money and gave it to her.
"This is the money to buy rice and pots."
Looking at the money in Chen He's hand, she shook her head.
"Let's owe it first! Keep the money and give it back when you get rich. ”
"No, you have to accept this money, otherwise my sister-in-law will be angry."
Looking at Chen He's appearance, she stretched out her hand and took the money.
"If you have difficulties in the future, you must say it."
"Don't worry, I still have a little savings with Quanzi over the years, and I originally planned to make a dowry for Miaozi, but now I can only put it on hold temporarily."
"Mother, I don't want to marry." Xiao Miaozi said immediately.
"You kid, how can you not get married." Chen He glanced at his daughter.
"I can recruit Lang, so that I can be with my father and mother for the rest of my life."
Chen He looked at his daughter in surprise, and then asked, "Who told you this?" ”
Xiao Miaozi didn't speak, because the appearance of her mother was a little scary.
On the side, she looked at Chen He's reaction, and immediately said: "I said it, but it was also said casually, but I didn't expect her to remember it." ”
After listening to her words, Chen He's face softened, and then sighed: "It's not easy to recruit Lang, who is willing to be rich in ordinary men, and besides, it is still a poor family like us, it is impossible at all." ”
"Having said that, it's not impossible to meet the right person, Xiao Miaozi is so kind and sensible, and he looks good, maybe there will be a young man who is willing." She smiled and rubbed Xiao Miaozi's head.
Chen He frowned, and then sighed: "This is still difficult after all, when the seedlings are older, I will tell her about family affairs." ”
"Mother, my daughter doesn't leave you." Xiao Miaozi pouted and looked aggrieved.
"Silly child, my mother is reluctant to let you go, but girls have to marry after all when they grow up." After Chen He finished speaking, he looked at her, "It makes you laugh." ”
"No, Xiao Miaozi, this kid is quite sensible, I like it very much."
"If you like it, hurry up and have one with the big cow." Chen He raised his eyebrows at her ambiguously.
"That's right, my aunt hurriedly gave birth to one with Uncle Da Niu, and I will have a companion in the future, and I can also take care of my little brothers and sisters when the time comes."
When it comes to her and Da Niu's children, Xiao Miaozi is extremely excited. Looking at Xiao Miaozi who was looking forward to it so much, her face was full of smiles.
"There's no rush to this."
"Don't worry, the big cows are twenty years old, if this woman doesn't have a child for half a year, everyone will gossip. So this birth is good for you and good for the big cow, Xiang me, after giving birth to a seedling, I have not been able to get pregnant, everyone will say behind my back, I am also sad in my heart, I can't add a boy to the whole child. This is Chen He's personal experience, she will only say it if she treats Xiaoran sincerely.
"Mother, Daddy said he didn't care." Xiao Miaozi tugged at her mother's sleeve.
"Silly boy, how could your father not care, he just said that to comfort your mother." Chen He smiled bitterly at his daughter.
Xiao Miaozi doesn't understand, obviously his father doesn't care, but why does his mother say that his father cares? Alas, the world of adults is so difficult to understand.
She looked at the confused little seedling and laughed.
In fact, what Chen He said was the truth, it was impossible for Quanzi not to care, not to say it was because Quanzi loved Chen He and didn't want her to think about it, but he still longed for a queen in his heart.
It's just that she is only 16 years old now, and it is quite dangerous to have a child at this age, so she still wants to wait a few years before talking, but if she gets pregnant unexpectedly during this period, no matter how dangerous it is, she will still give birth.
Having lost a child, she knows what it's like.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I still have some work to do at home, and I'll visit the door another day when I'm free." After Chen He finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Miaozi, "You go home with your mother to work." ”
Xiao Miaozi smiled, nodded repeatedly, and then waved to her aunt.
"Goodbye, Auntie."
She nodded, saw off the mother and daughter, locked the door and went out to find the big cow.
Although the sun was hot, she still wanted to go out and see her own land by the way.
For so many days, she hadn't had time to take a look in the field since she came down the mountain, and now that she was free, she had to go and see, and when the time came, she was going to get some vegetable seeds to plant.
The flood was nothing to her and Da Niu, because her and Da Niu's source of livelihood was not crops.
For the rest of the village, though, it was a catastrophe. The crops were washed away, and they would not have a good year, so they had to wait until the beginning of spring next year to plant the seeds. Then they will have a hard time between now and the second half of next year.
When she came to her own land, she couldn't help but laugh when she saw the big cow digging in the field of the next house, and then walked over to him.
Da Niu raised his head when he heard the footsteps, and when he saw that it was her, he frowned.
"Why did you get out?"
"Let's take a look at our land."
After she finished speaking, she turned her head to look into the field, and saw the sparse sweet potato vines, her eyes blinked, and then she pointed to the sweet potato vines.
"Can that still bear sweet potatoes?"
Zhang Daniu looked at her hand, and then nodded: "It can be knotted, and the sweet potato vine is a tenacious plant." ”
"That's good, so that everyone doesn't have nothing." Sweet potato vines can be left in their own land, so there should be some left in other people's fields.
Da Niu listened to her words and nodded approvingly: "I'll cut some of the vines and re-insert some later." ”
"Hmm." She nodded, and then looked at the land he had dug, "This piece of land belongs to Grandma Zhang's!" ”
The bull nodded.
"Alas, I don't know what happened to Po Zhang's family."
"I heard the village chief say that their family went to Shaocheng to join relatives, so don't worry about it."
