After drinking tea all afternoon, she finally got this contract and met with the mayor, she can't say that she knows this person, but at least she can be regarded as seeing the mayor's true face, which is also commendable.
The two said goodbye to Su Mo, carried three contracts, and walked on an almost empty road with Xiao Mu.
In the scorching sun, there was not even a little wind, and the birds flying in the sky were listlessly squatting on the trees and nodding, looking sleepy, only those cicadas were still in a tireless name.
The two of them walked along the shady place all the way, and at this time they really wanted to go down to the river to play in the water for a while, to go to the heat.
As soon as I returned to the store, the shopkeeper was guarding the door, sitting on a chair and half-dozing, his eyes half-closed, which was really hard.
"Ahem, ahem. ”
Wu You fluttered down when he heard the movement, and when he saw that the two owners had returned, he smiled awkwardly.
Yuqi looked at the sky outside, looked at the street where there were almost no people, and sighed: "Uncle Wu, after lunch, you will close the door and rest for a while, and it doesn't hurt to open it in the afternoon when there are more people, and no one will come out to buy anything at noon." ”
"It's old. Wu You felt embarrassed.
"It's like that in the summer, but it's not good when it's cooler, otherwise the shop would have to close. ”
"Hehehe, how can it be?" the young lady laughed. Wu You smiled gratefully.
She also smiled, not that she was kind, but that there was really no one outside on this hot day, even if the door was open, no one came out to buy anything, and if he didn't sell his favor, he might be able to put more effort into selling goods to himself, why not!
Back in the backyard, I saw them hiding in the shade, talking and laughing while working, and when I saw her back, I smiled and greeted her excitedly.
"Little Nizi, you're back. Xiao Cui rubbed the balls and smiled, thinking of the meal at noon, it was simply a delicacy in the world.
Yuqi looked at them one by one, grinning happily and baring her teeth with excitement, thinking that the meal at noon had stimulated their potential consciousness.
Fan Tian saw her coming back, and beckoned with a smile: "Xiaoliu, you came back just in time, we discussed at noon, and planned to set up a stall in Zhongjie, only once a day, what do you think?"
She moved her eyes slightly: "Okay, one more place to buy, you can also earn more silver, but just a few of you can come over?"
Qiu'er saw that she also agreed, and hurriedly interjected: "If you can't be busy, you can find someone! There are so many little girls in our village, I'm afraid that we won't be able to find them?"
"A few of us are sworn by, naturally these secrets can't be said, if you find a few unfamiliar ones, what if you leak the secrets?"
Fan Tian thought for a while and shook his head: "Little Liu, you think too much, as long as we find a few honest and reliable people, there will be no such thing as you said, after all, they also want to make money, right?"
Xiaohe pouted: "Eldest sister, second sister, even if they don't divulge secrets, then they will share the money with them equally?" ”
"That's it, I don't agree either, why did we work so hard to gain a foothold, they came to eat ready-made!" Xiao Cui also said anxiously.
Fan Tian looked at the two of them, turned his head and looked at Qingliu again: "Third child, what do you mean?"
Aoyagi, who was called, was slightly stunned, thought for a while, and said: "Find someone to join, it's not impossible, be cautious, and secondly, those who join later can't really be divided equally with us, how many copper plates can we give them every day, if they really suffer hard, and their mouths are strict, then we can also absorb such people in, if you want to make a lot of money, it's not enough to rely on a few of us, so this matter must be carefully considered." ”
"Little Liu, what about you?"
Yuqi frowned: "If you ask me what I mean, I just don't agree!"
Fan Tian and Fan Qiu'er glanced at each other: "Why?"
"The time is not ripe, we have just had some improvements, we must not make a little mistake at this time, even if we make less money, we must stabilize the current customers, so find someone to join this matter, and we will talk about it later, but it is definitely not now. ”
Several people looked at her with solemn faces, and they were all surprised, Xiaocui, Qingliu and Xiaohe repulsed each other, turned their heads and looked at the eldest sister and the second sister again, and saw that their faces were flushed, and they were not talking about going to the middle street to sell snacks.
Yuqi naturally also saw the dissatisfaction of the eldest sister and the second sister, and sighed, if among these people who were found, there was one person who was jealous of the copper plate they earned, not as much as these people, then she produced a single work or went back to tell her father and mother the idea, go back and say, in fact, sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes, in addition to the vinegar of the pass, in a few days, the town is afraid that there are sweet potato snacks everywhere, if it is really at that time, it is too late to regret it.
Fan Tian and Fan Qiu'er were doing the work in their hands angrily, their cheeks were bulging high, Yuqi pursed her lips, washed her hands, and joined them.
For more than an hour, all the things were picked up, just waiting for the afternoon to be sold, and the rest of the time, everyone found a ventilated place to rest.
Yu Qi glanced at the two of them, still secretly angry there, presumably they hadn't turned the corner yet, and smiled, these two people are usually quite shrewd, but now they are confused.
"Eldest sister, second sister, are still angry! You two are too stingy. Yu Qinuo went over, leaned on the eldest sister's side, and said with a smile.
Fan Tian glanced at her and pouted: "I'm not angry, I just can't figure it out." ”
"What's so hard to figure out about this, what about you, second sister?"
"I know what you mean, I'm afraid that some of these people will be bewitched, come and learn the arts, and then go home to tell my father, right?" Qiu'er rolled her eyes and replied with a deep breath.
"If you know, why are you looking for someone?" made her even more puzzled.
"It's not that I want to make more money, and you also know the people you are looking for, including my sister, Fan Xiang, and Fan Panpan, Fan Yaoyao, Fan Qianqian, Fan Yadan, these few. ”
She has some impressions of what Fan Qiu'er said, but she hasn't been in contact with them in the past year, so she really doesn't know what her temperament is now, if she is really an honest and tight-mouthed person, she can still join, in case it is really a wolf in sheep's clothing, well-behaved and pleasing on the face, and the yin behind it, it is really impossible to prevent.
"I have some impressions of these people, so let's discuss this matter when I come back, and let me test them. ”
Fan Qiu'er and Fan Tian both nodded: "Okay." ”
"Where are you going out?" Fan Tian turned his head and asked the people around him.
"Go to the county seat and come back in about three or five days. ”
"Oh! I'm so envious, I've never been out of this town, let alone the county seat, when I've grown up. Fan Qiuer sighed.
Yu Qi smiled: "When we have a chance in the future, let's go to the county seat to play together, not only to the county seat, but also to go to the state capital for a wild visit." ”
Xiao Cui craned her neck and shouted, "I still have to go to the imperial capital!"
The three of them were slightly fluted, the fifth old: "Fifth sister, you eavesdrop on us!"
"Wronged people, I didn't eavesdrop, I don't believe you ask the two of them!" Xiao Cui puffed out her mouth and pointed to the two people next to her.
The two people in the back also smiled and nodded: "You are talking so loudly, and you still use us to eavesdrop!"
"Hmph, you're justified. Yuqi pursed her lower lip, her big voice really had to be changed, and she also had to learn what it meant to speak softly.
In the afternoon, at the beginning of the unitary hour, the snacks of the five major pots were all sold out, and it was a critical moment after cleaning up neatly, that is, the copper plate, no more, no less, two were sold, today each person divided one or two pieces of silver, and the remaining dozen copper plates were saved again, and it was good to keep buying oil and seasonings in the future, and the time to save was going out from their purses.
Xiao Mu tied the ox cart, and with a wave of his big hand, the six people got on the ox cart one by one, like a rabbit happily off the way, talking and gesturing for a while.
As soon as they entered the village, several people obediently got out of the car and went home.
Xiaomu and Yuqi were halfway home when Aoyama stopped them.
"Brother Qingshan, is there something wrong?" asked Xiao Mu as he stopped the ox cart.
Qingshan looked at Yuqi on the ox cart, turned his head to look at him and said, "Go to my house, my father is waiting for you two." ”
Xiao Mu looked back at Yuqi and saw her nodding, so he led the ox cart and walked side by side with Qingshan.
It didn't take long for the village chief's house to arrive, and when Wang Lumu bolted the ox, Yuqi had already gotten off the ox cart and entered the village chief's house first.
"Uncle U. As soon as I entered the hospital, I saw the mullet drinking tea at the small table, and there was a smile on my face, and I was in a very good mood at first glance.
The mullet looked up and saw that it was Yuqi, his smile deepened a little, and beckoned: "Come on, come on, come and do it." ”
He reached out and took the small bench behind him, put it in front of him, and pointed at Yuqi.
Yuqi smiled and sat on the small bench and asked him, "Uncle Wu, look at your happiness, is there anything good!"
"Let me tell you, today I went up the mountain early in the morning to see the sweet potato seedlings, and after sowing for the past few days, those seedlings have not yellowed and withered, and they seem to be alive, do you say this is a happy event!"
Yu Qi laughed after hearing this: "It is indeed a good thing, which proves that when we harvest this autumn, it will definitely not be without harvest." ”
Qingshan, who came in, heard her words, and continued: "I look at those seedlings are green, all of them are very strong, and they are very stable, and they can be harvested at a glance, I estimate that this acre of land can produce at least six hundred catties." ”
"Brother Qingshan, my slogan is Qianjin, you have only estimated these six hundred catties, and there is still a gap of four hundred catties!" Yu Qi looked back and said with a smile.
"Say you're fat and you're still panting, if you can't get a thousand catties in the fall, it's up to you what to do. ”
"Chilled!"
Qingshan shook his head helplessly, and kicked Xiao Mu sideways: "You little daughter-in-law is terrible, she likes to talk big, you have to control her when you turn around." ”
Xiao Mu looked at Yu Qi and smiled: "I believe she is telling the truth, she is not the kind of person who likes to talk big, besides, this is my future lady, I will be the one who will pay me to old age, why should I control her?"
Qingshan shook the goosebumps all over his body, and tilted his mouth: "Oh yo yo! It's so sour, you haven't done anything yet, just pet it like this first, and you won't be afraid of her riding on your head in the future?"
Xiao Mu swept his head up and down to the side, and snorted: "It's really a fool's errand, you better think about what you should do, but I heard that the uncle wants to tell you about his daughter-in-law, and the candidates have already been decided, so he almost said kiss." ”
Qingshan was surprised, how did he know about this thing that he didn't even know? Stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm: "Say, whose girl, how do you know!"
"Hey, hey, you tap, if I get dragged and hurt, I'll forget everything. Xiao Mu slanted his eyebrows and hooked the corners of his lower lip.
Qingshan let go of his arm in a deflated manner, and flatteringly smoothed his sleeves: "This time you can say it!"
Xiao Mu glanced at his arm and looked at him, and nodded: "It's not from other villages, it's from our village, you also know, you often fought when you were a child, of course, I also listened to what the uncle said." ”
Qingshan wondered, it was common to fight over trivial matters, twisted his eyebrows and thought about it, but he still couldn't think of it, it has been many years since he didn't fight, and besides, it was also a matter when he was a child, who can remember it clearly.
"I can't remember, you say, who is Zhang?
"Let me remind you, surnamed Fan, has something to do with Yuqi!"
Qingshan thought about it for a while, remembered the message in the previous stage, and widened his eyes in disbelief: "It can't be Fan Jingna, right?"
Seeing the strange expression on Xiao Mu's face, he cried with a sad face: "Dad just doesn't hurt me and can't let me marry a second marriage, I haven't opened meat yet, what is this called, no, I." ”
"Where do you want to go? Even if you want to marry Sister Jingna, people may not be willing to marry. ”
"Who could that be?" Aoyama asked in confusion.
Xiao Mu was suddenly hit and lowered his head, talking to this kind of person, too tired.
Qingshan pursed his lips, lowered his head and thought about it again, the fight, it was related to Yuqi, and suddenly a small figure flashed from his mind, and he couldn't catch her shadow quickly.
The other side at this time:
"Yuqi, this is the remaining six taels of silver, you can put it away, and this piece of paper is a fine account, and how the three taels and seven hundred wen are spent are recorded here. The mullet took out what he had prepared the morning.
Yuqi stretched out his hand and pushed it back: "Uncle, this silver is still placed here for you, and you will have to ask for labor when you collect it in the future, and you will have to ask your uncle to help you when the time comes." ”
The mullet took a look and said, "That's okay, just let it go here, I'll give it to you when I'm done in the future." ”
"Then I'll thank Uncle first, if nothing else, I'll go back. ”
"Okay, go back early and get some rest, I see you've been tanned lately! ”
"It's been too hot lately, I can't eat well, and I can't rest well, so I'll be fine after a while. ”
The mullet sighed lightly and called Qingshan, who was still pondering: "You go and send Xiaomu and Yuqi." ”
"Got it!"
Qingshan sent the two of them to the door, and suddenly said to Yuqi: "Fan Sining is your sister." ”
"Ah, that's my second sister, what's wrong?" was stunned by the question, and Yuqi asked rhetorically.
Qingshan smiled wryly: "It's okay, we often played together when I was a child, but it's rare in recent years, so I forgot if she was your sister." ”
Yu Qi looked at him suspiciously, and said lightly: "My sister prefers to be quiet." ”
Xiao Mu took a look, and hurriedly drove the ox cart away, if she let them talk for a while, all the words in Qingshan's stomach could be probed by Yuqi, and then she wouldn't know that she had betrayed Si Ning?
When I got home, my father was smoking dry tobacco with a cigarette stick in the yard, my mother was sitting in the kitchen for dinner, and even Yujie, who hadn't seen her for two days, was obediently talking to my father in the yard.
"Sister!" Yu Jie happily got up and greeted her.
"Well, it's rare, you finally know how to go home. He reached out and dotted her forehead.
Yu Jie wrinkled her nose: "I came back early in the morning, but you are not at home." ”
Father Fan looked at her face a little tired, and said distressedly: "The water has been drying for a day, and the heat is just right at this time, you can take a bath and go to be tired." ”
"Well, I know Dad, I'll take the bath tub. Yuqi smiled softly at her father.
The mother poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at it, then shrank back, and hurriedly cooked, for fear that she would be hungry after taking a bath.
On the dinner table, there was a large pot of dumplings, all of which were thin and filling, round and bulging.
"Dumplings, I haven't eaten them in a long time. Yuqi wore wet hair, and when she saw the dumplings on the table, she couldn't help but drool.
The mother glanced at her with a chuckle: "Look at your slander, hurry up and eat it, you like the dumplings stuffed with leeks the most." ”
"Hehe, my mother knows me best. ”
Father Fan grinned: "What, your mother understands you, but I don't understand?"
"Hahaha, Dad is jealous. Yu Jie found a new continent, haha said with a smile.
Xiao Mu listened to them, smiled and put a bowl of dumplings in front of her: "Eat." ”
Yu Jie looked at him and then at the eldest sister, and handed the bowl to him: "Eccentric, I want it too." ”

The second watch will continue in the afternoon!
