I saw that the old lady Qi took out a bag of silver,

"Then you can buy more, your eldest brother gave me a lot of silver yesterday for household use, our family is going to have a good life, and we will eat better and dress better in the future."

He took out a small bag of silver and gave it to Miss Qi,

"You go back to the market, buy a few pieces of good-looking fabrics, and make a few clothes for our Jiaojiao to wear, such a handsome girl, you have to dress better."

Miss Qi took the silver and responded happily in her mouth.

The family has been very happy recently, and their bodies are full of enthusiasm every day, especially as soon as Qi Ada's health is good, the mood of the whole family will be good, and Qi Zhang has made meritorious contributions, so I just feel that the more I live this day, the more hopeful I am.

Sheng Jiaojiao secretly pinched the silver that the old lady Qi gave her, a heavy bag, it seems that Grandma really likes to eat apples.

Not only the old lady likes it, but the whole family likes it.

Looking at this, Apple seems to have a big market.

After dinner, when the number of people in the village became more and more populous, she made an excuse to find a quiet place to read, and went to the col behind the house to pick apples.

In the morning, Sheng Jiaojiao watered the apple tree, and when she came back in the afternoon, the size of the apple tree had not changed, but there were many red apples emerging from the canopy.

So she took a pole, hooked off the branches full of fruit, and plucked a basket full of apples.

When Qi Huan came back from sword practice at night, Sheng Jiaojiao asked Qi Huan to carry the basket on his back, saying that he had met a merchant outside, and he bought a basket of apples.

Qi Huan innocently looked at the apple tree on the hillside, and asked a little worriedly:

"Sister, why do I think that the apples on our tree seem to be uneaten, if someone finds out in the future, what should we do if we have such a big tree in our house?"

What he said is exactly what Sheng Jiaojiao is worried about now.

The vegetables in the col are still a trivial matter, and as long as Sheng Jiaojiao does not water these vegetables for a few days, the growth rate of these vegetables will naturally slow down.

But such a large tree still grows on the slope of the col, and if it grows a little taller, the apple tree will emerge from the surface.

This is what Sheng Jiaojiao urgently needs to solve.

She held her hands, her smoky gray wide sleeves swayed in the wind and sand, and her eyes were downcast, looking at the thriving apple trees on the dirt slope at her feet.

"There's a way right away"

The Qi family, who came back after Qi Huan, went to the Zhou family for a whole day.

As soon as Zhou entered the door, he poured a large pot of water to drink, and in the face of Sheng Jiaojiao, who was looking at her with concern, Zhou took a breath and began to talk about the process of looking for Chaozong today.

It was not difficult to inquire about the place where Chaozong went, and walked to the earthen house behind the Waste Prince's Mansion, where all the slaves of the Waste Prince lived.

I only heard Zhou gasp and say:

"As soon as I went, I said that I was looking for a tree called Chaozong to buy, and several people pulled me along the way, saying that they had trees in their hands. As a result, one of them quoted a lower price than the other, and when I finally found Chaozong, he had no plans to sell the tree, and when I heard that I wanted to buy a tree from him, or buy a tree at a high price, he didn't react for a long time. ”

"Did he sell the tree in the end?"

Sheng Jiaojiao took the teapot and shook it slightly, and unconsciously stored a small half pot of water in it, she found a teacup, poured the water in the teapot into the teacup, and served it to Zhou.

Zhou took a sip of the teacup, finally took a breath, and said:

"Where can I not sell it, I am giving him money, can he not sell it? Ming'er will bring us a tree. ”

Then he asked:

"Jiaojiao'er, we spent so much money and bought so many trees, where are we planted?"

Sheng Jiaojiao had been prepared for this, looked at the outside of the hall, and said:

"Plant it in the front yard and backyard, I think it's okay, don't worry about this aunt, let's just buy a tree and give it to the nest, and if the tree is bought, let the four guys toss and plant it."

"That's right, I can't plant anyway, so I don't have to worry about it."

Zhou sighed with some emotion, touched the little money bag left, and sighed,

"I just think it's a pity, although this is a disguised return gift to Mr. Chao, but if these trees can really grow up in our place, when the four guys grow up, maybe we will become green waters and green mountains here."

Sheng Jiaojiao didn't speak, the green waters and green mountains are not bad.

Mrs. Qi came out of the stove room with a plate of red apples, entered the hall, and saw that Zhou and Sheng Jiaojiao were both sitting in the hall, so she smiled and said:

"This merchant is quite mysterious, I don't know if I know Erlang's master or not, today I actually taught the four guys to meet, he bought a basket full of apples and came back, come, you two eat."

No one knows when Qi Hua ran out of the village, and now everyone in the family has been instructed by Sheng Jiaojiao to turn around, Zhou's went to the market to buy trees, Qi Sanniang, who was specifically responsible for taking care of Qi Huan, pulled Qi San's uncle, and the husband and wife have been busy with the whole medicine field and planting medicinal materials.

Qi Erniang was immersed in the straw paper, and the old lady Qi and the big girl Qi had to greet the ladies who came to the house every day to do embroidery work, and Qi Ah Da and Qi Ah Er were always in the militia.

There is no idler in the family except Sheng Jiaojiao.

No one took care of Qi Huan, so Qi Huan, the kid, was like a monkey, and inadvertently, he ran out of the village again.

Fortunately, this time Qi Huan didn't have anything to do when he went out, but he came back with a basket full of sweet and juicy apples.

As soon as Zhou saw the apple, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly reached out and grabbed one and gnawed it.

Sheng Jiaojiao on the side also took one and played with it in her hand, and took out the receipt she had prepared from her sleeve, and explained to Zhou:

"Ming'er Chaozong went to send the tree and asked him to sign the receipt, we spent money to buy the tree, but we can't do without a receipt, otherwise he will send the tree to us, and the tree will die again, and a mouth will not be able to tell, as a result, this business matter, there is no way to clear the money and goods, we were kind to return the gift, and in the end we have not to become an enemy."

The old lady Qi nodded while eating the apple, and explained to the Zhou family:

"Yes, listening to Jiaojiao'er, she is the most read in our family and the most reasonable."

Sheng Jiaojiao had already told Mrs. Qi about buying a batch of trees at home, and she felt that Sheng Jiaojiao's approach was right.

Over the years, although the Qi family has not been rich, they have not taken a stitch from others, and they have given gifts and they have returned gifts, isn't it normal?

"I'm provincial."

Zhou responded, he couldn't put down the apples in his hand, and he couldn't wait to eat apples all the time.

On the second day, Chaozong went to drag a large cart of trees and hired people to send them to Qi's house in Loess Village.

All the people of the village gathered around to see the excitement.

Chao Zong went off the horse and went to the corner of the courtyard with Zhou to settle the bill.

Niu Ju entered Sheng Jiaojiao's room and asked:

"Jiaojiao, why did your family buy so many trees? How much does it cost? ”

"It's not much, planting some trees looks a little more comfortable."

Sheng Jiaojiao took two apples to Niu Ju, pulled Niu Ju to sit on the kang, and said sincerely:

"I haven't thanked you for lending me a horse last time."

"Don't say that, we're friends, your Shiro is gone, why don't I care?"

Niu Ju looked honest, his whole face was round and black, he was holding two apples in his hand, smelled it, and then asked:

"Jiaojiao, what kind of fruit is this? Can you eat it? ”

"Of course you can eat it, you can eat it, this is called an apple."

Seeing that Niu Ju was holding an apple, wiping it on his clothes, and putting it to his mouth and reluctant to gnaw it, Sheng Jiaojiao raised her hand, pushed Niu Ju's elbow, and said:

"You eat quickly, I still have it at home after eating, I'll give you a basket, you take it back and give it to your father to eat some too."

"Ah, so much, I don't want so much."

Niu Ju was frightened by Sheng Jiaojiao's bold words, she hurriedly took a small bite of the apple in her hand, and the expression on her face was stunned.

It's so delicious.

couldn't help it, Niu Ju took another bite of the apple, she nodded continuously, her mouth made a crisp sound of biting the apple, and said:

"Jiaojiao, this apple is expensive, isn't it? Where did you buy it? ”

"When the four guys went out, they met a merchant, and bought a lot from the merchant, not expensive, we think rare things, in the eyes of those merchants who go south and north, it is not a rare object, the merchant said that he will not sell it again, these apples are only afraid that they will be broken, so they will sell a lot of them to us cheaper."

As Sheng Jiaojiao spoke, she took out paper and pen and translated the book for Tan Ji with two hearts.

I heard Niu Ju say with envy again:

"Jiaojiao, your family's life is getting better and better, Brother Qi Zhang also has the ability, your family Shiro also has the ability, you, you also have the ability."

Niu Ju hasn't read much, her aunt has no knowledge, she can do some embroidery work, and she can't get off the ground.

Daddy injured his waist during the war, and he couldn't do heavy work when he was old.

She didn't know what to say to praise Sheng Jiaojiao, she only felt that Sheng Jiaojiao was capable.

Sheng Jiaojiao stopped the tip of the pen in translation, raised her eyes to look at Niu Ju who was sitting opposite her, and saw that Niu Ju had an indescribable loneliness on her face, which she wanted to hide, but couldn't hide.

So Sheng Jiaojiao put down the pen in her hand and asked with concern:

"Niu Ju, what's wrong with you?"

It's okay that she didn't ask, but as soon as she asked, Niu Ju stopped eating apples, her eyes turned red, her lips moved, and she said to Sheng Jiaojiao:

"Jiaojiao, I may be getting married."

"Huh? Get married? ”

Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Niu Ju, paused, and asked:

"Do you want to marry yourself?"

She didn't ask Niu Ju who she wanted to marry, she just asked Niu Ju if she wanted to marry, and after a lifetime of reliving, Sheng Jiaojiao had some new understanding of a woman getting married.

Sometimes it is much better for a woman to be alone than to marry someone else.

If you are single, at most you just endure some strange eyes from the world, and if you marry a non-human, sometimes it will be fatal.

Niu Ju hurriedly shook her head, she looked at Sheng Jiaojiao, there were tears in her eyes,

"But my aunt said that the man's family conditions are good, so he lives in the market, and he also raises more than a dozen sheep at home."

In fact, her aunt also said a word, saying that Qi Zhang's conditions are better, but there is a Sheng Jiaojiao in the Qi family, and it is not Niu Ju's turn to marry into the Qi family.

"Raised a dozen sheep." The call condition is good.

Sheng Jiaojiao muttered in her mouth, she looked at Niu Ju, and didn't know what to say for a while.

In fact, she didn't have the right to say anything, because in her previous life, when she hadn't married Yin Ze as a concubine, she didn't know that there was no end to the days of luxury.

One can live a more luxurious life, but not the most luxurious.

At that time, Sheng Jiaojiao only felt that if any Langjun raised more than a dozen sheep at home, it could be regarded as a family with a good background.

It's just that because of the memory of a lifetime, I don't think a dozen sheep matter anymore.

At the moment, Sheng Jiaojiao said:

"Niu Ju, why don't you take a look at it again, our four guys have bought a lot of apples from the merchant these days, which is as much as a cart, you know, after the four guys had an accident on the set, our family didn't dare to let the four guys go to the market, if you want, you can sell apples for us, no matter how much you sell, I will give you a day's wages."

As she spoke, Sheng Jiaojiao raised a few fingers, and without waiting for Niu Ju to speak, Sheng Jiaojiao said again:

"In a few days, you yourself will have the money to buy a dozen sheep, and when you look at it again, maybe your vision will be different."

Niu Ju stopped talking, her eyes were still red, and she looked at Sheng Jiaojiao.

Seeing that she was silent, Sheng Jiaojiao sighed again and said:

"Of course, if you like that man, no matter how many sheep he has, you want to marry him, then you go and marry, I will definitely bless you."

"No, I don't like it, really, Jiaojiao."

Niu Ju hurriedly denied that it wasn't the man she liked, what she liked had always been.

Niu Ju didn't dare to say, she didn't even dare to think about it, her cheeks were slightly red, looking at Sheng Jiaojiao, with the tenacious eyes of all ordinary peasant girls in her eyes.

Just listen to her say:

"Jiaojiao, I agreed, I'll sell apples first, and I'll think about getting married."

She has eaten apples, and they are very delicious, and such delicious fruits will definitely not be sold on the market.

Maybe Niu Ju can really make the money of a sheep.

At that time, her aunt will not force Niu Ju to marry quickly.

According to Niu Ju's temperament, he did what he said, and before Qi Ju drove the mule back to deliver the goods to the barracks, Niu Ju asked Sheng Jiaojiao to give a basket of apples and went to the collection with the basket on his back.

The apples were picked by Qi Hua last night, Sheng Jiaojiao gave Qi Hua a big basket, and asked Qi Hua to fill the basket with apples and put them at the back of the yard.

The excuse is that I bought it from a merchant.

Because during this time, the Qi family also knew that Qi Erlang wrote a letter to Sheng Jiaojiao and recommended several pharmaceutical companies in Sheng Jiaojiao, and Qi Dalang supported Sheng Jiaojiao in business.

Therefore, Qi Huan always said that he bought apples from the merchant and came back, but it did not arouse the suspicion of the Qi family.

On the contrary, I hope that this merchant can bring more apples to sell, this fruit is really delicious.
