Because of Ping'an's illness and Yuanren's schooling, Chen Xi delayed a lot of farm work.

In order to finish all the farm work before the season, he had to get up early and go to the field at night for the past two days.

Fortunately, before the Guyu solar term came, he finally turned over the ground on the mountain.

Wait for the seedlings to grow and then cut them into the field, and this year's spring plowing will be over.

On this day, the sun was fine, and Su Cheng got up early to grind beans.

Approaching noon, Su Cheng did most of his work.

Just as she was pressing the tofu with a mold, two men suddenly appeared outside the door looking into the courtyard, "Is there anyone?" ”

Su Cheng wiped his hands, walked to the side door and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

The eyes of the two men brightened a little the moment they saw Su Cheng, and the two glanced at each other, and they invariably showed a satisfied smile.

Su Cheng raised his hand and waved in front of them, "What about you, who are you looking for?" ”

One of them smiled, "Girl, we're here to find someone nearby, it's too hot today, we want to ask you for a bowl of water." ”

Another also said: "Yes, only your door is open in several nearby households, so you should do it and give us a bowl of water." ”

Su Cheng was silent, beckoned to the two and said, "Come in." ”

She turned and walked into the kitchen and fetched two bowls of water and served them to them.

The two took the water but didn't finish it in one gulp, but looked at the Chen family's courtyard while drinking.

The taller man suddenly asked, "Girl, where is your family?" ”

Su Cheng said, "Working in the fields." ”

Another person followed suit and said, "The house is so clean, you know that you are a virtuous person at a glance." ”

Su Cheng was stunned, why did she think that these two people were talking a bit much?

She looked at the figures of the two, they were both very strong, almost the same as Chen Xiyou.

Even if they are put on the docks to work as coolies, they should be better than the average person.

Strangely enough, they all carried half-human-high coarse cloth bags on their shoulders, and they didn't know what they were used for.

Even their shoes are made of very wear-resistant materials, and they seem to be constantly on the move.

Su Cheng became suspicious, "What are you doing?" How do you carry such a big bag? ”

"Broker." The tall man said.

"We're here to receive the goods." Another humane.

Su Cheng frowned: "What about the things you collected?" ”

Qingyuan Village is remote, and they haven't received anything at this time, and it will be dark when they go back. How difficult is the mountain road, and the broker will do things so late?

The tall man drank the water at the bottom of the bowl in one gulp this time, looked at Su Cheng and said, "I'm ready to take it." ”

He touched the hemp bag on his shoulder and smiled at Su Cheng.

Right now.

"Cheng Niang."

The smile on the tall man's face froze, and he turned to look at the courtyard gate.

Su Cheng suddenly came back to his senses and said in surprise: "Fourth brother! You're back! ”

Chen Xi said: "There is not much work left today, so I will come back first when I am done." ”

He walked up to Su Cheng with a hoe and asked, "Who are they?" ”

The tall man quickly pulled out a smile on his face, "This is the eldest brother in the family, right?" We just passed by and came in to ask my sister-in-law for a bowl of water. ”

After he finished speaking, he patted his accomplice's chest, "After drinking the water, why don't you hurry up?" ”

The accomplice immediately laughed and said, "Let's go." ”

The two of them seemed to be very shy of Chen Ci, and they didn't dare to delay for a quarter of an hour after he appeared, and left the Chen family directly.

Chen Xi's eyes narrowed, and he turned around and asked, "You knew each other before?" ”

Su Cheng shook his head.

"The first time I saw them, they said they were brokers, and they looked quite sturdy."

Chen Ci pursed his lips and said with a deep expression: "In the future, don't let such strange men enter the house, so as not to have trouble." I don't think they're ordinary brokers, they're like human teeth. ”

Su Cheng was surprised: "How do you know?" ”

Chen Xi: "Even if an ordinary broker can carry a sack, it is impossible to carry such a big bag. That kind of bag is often used for making a living from human teeth. ”

Because it is convenient to install people after the price is negotiated, people often carry the sack on their backs when doing business.

He glanced at Su Chengjiao's good face, "Could it be that because you look good, they are eyeing you?" ”

In the village, she carried the name of Kefu and was looked down upon.

But if you sell her to the city as a concubine of a master, and sell her to the hook pen no matter how bad it is, you can exchange a lot of money.

The strength of those two lives, it is really not difficult to capture Cheng Niang.

Su Cheng was suddenly afraid.

If they were really human teeth, wouldn't they have been almost taken captive by these two people just now!

Just now, the two people asked her where her family was, probably to find out. Only when they are sure that there is no one at home, it is more convenient for those two to do things.

Chen Xi: "Long snack." Don't talk to strangers casually. ”

Su Cheng worried: "They won't come back, right?" ”

Chen Ci always has a time to work in the field, what if those two people have been wandering around his house and eyeing her?

Chen Xi said: "Look again, if these two people dare to wander around you again, I will find a chance to clean them up." ”

Anyway, Cheng Niang is now his person, where can he let people kidnap his teeth.

Su Cheng nodded, "Okay!" ”

She is always relieved to have Chen Ci in her.

Seeing Su Cheng grinding beans, Chen Xi asked, "Do you want to make tofu?" ”

Su Cheng said: "Yuanren said yesterday that he wanted to eat bean curd, and he did everything, so it is better to simply press another plate of tofu, and then eat a variety of dishes." ”

Chen Ci was silent, rolled up his sleeves and turned the grinding plate and said, "In the future, I will wait for this kind of heavy work to come back to do." ”

How much can her little arms do?

I'm afraid it took a morning to grind these beans, right?

Chen Ci was very energetic, and it was really not difficult to turn the grinding plate, and it didn't take long to grind all the soybeans soaked in the bucket.

When they pressed the tofu on, Chen Yuanren also got out of school.

Motoin seems to be very happy today, and even the steps of running into the courtyard are brisk.

With a piece of rice paper in his hand, he rushed to Su Cheng's side and hugged Su Cheng's leg.

"Ahh

Su Cheng smiled: "What's the matter, I laughed like a flower." ”

"The words I wrote today were rated by Mr. Xuetang!" Chen Yuanren ostentatiously unfolded his rice paper, as if he had received some supreme glory.

"That's amazing!"

Su Cheng was really a little surprised, picked up his words and carefully studied them for a while.

Although Yuanren has just learned, he does have some talent for reading and writing.

At least she couldn't write such beautiful words when she was in third grade.

Su Cheng said happily: "It's just right, my mother made the bean curd you want to eat today, Yuanren is so good, reward you for eating one more bowl!" ”

Yuan Ren ran back to the house happily with a bowl of bean curd, and Su Cheng was still admiring his words.

Chen Ci looked at her serious appearance and asked, "Look so seriously, are you literate?" ”

Scold!

Who do you look down upon?

Although Cheng Niang never went to school, she still knows some traditional Chinese characters. She is a leader in the nine years of compulsory education!

Sue cleared her throat, "Hmm...... Just know a few of them! ”
