Tang Xiaoqi saw that the Li family had already made breakfast, and there were still a lot of jujube paste cakes left last night, and there were some less, Tang Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows.

Li said to Tang Xiaoqi with a smile: "Yesterday, when our family was making pastries, the neighbors smelled it, and today it was just dawn, and many people came over to ask what they were doing, and your Aunt Gu directly gave me the money and asked me to sell it to her." ”

In this way, their family can make a lot of money, and Tang Xiaoqi is in a better mood when he looks at Li's happy appearance.

"In that case, then let's do more, let Dad and Xiao Jiu pick dates today, mother, you help me at home, and when you learn, you don't have to do it alone."

Li nodded and agreed, after breakfast, Bai Father and Tang Xiaojiu went to the mountains with the basket on their backs, Li and Tang Xiaoqi sat in the courtyard and cut open the jujube core with scissors, and then put the jujube in the bamboo strip that had been prepared.

Dates should be dried for five to seven days, such dried dates are the best to make pastries, Tang Xiaoqi twisted his neck, and opened the dates placed in the yard as if he saw a bright future.

"Mother, when we make money, let's move to the city." Although she came out of an orphanage, it is modern after all, and for her, life in the city is already simple, and the countryside is even more life-threatening.

"That's a lot of money, my mother is used to living in the village, there is no need to go outside, and when I have the money, I will take your brother out for a long time." When Li heard Tang Xiaoqi say this, he was stunned for a moment and refused again.

Tang Xiaoqi wanted to persuade again, but he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door outside, and asked Li to continue working, and Tang Xiaoqi went out to see who was coming.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Tang Xiaowu looking at her angrily, Tang Xiaoqi tilted his head and asked, "Is there something wrong with my cousin coming to our house?" ”

Tang Xiaowu took a few breaths and said, "What delicious food did your family make last night, I didn't sleep well last night, could it be that the noble person you picked up gave it to you, we are still relatives, don't you give our family a copy of any good things?" ”

Tang Xiaoqi only felt funny when she heard her say this, and he didn't say anything nice in his mouth when he wanted to eat something delicious, and it seemed that it was a great crime not to give her this gesture.

"You have to know, my brother is going to take the Xiucai exam, you don't bother me now, and you can scold me later."

Tang Xiaoqi wanted to laugh even more, she couldn't even be angry at this kind of person. Tang Xiaowu's elder brother has taken the exam five or six times, although he was still a teenager when he was admitted to Tongsheng, and now he has passed the championship, and their family is not much richer than himself.

Moreover, judging from the memory of the original body, Tang Xiaowu's elder brother is just a scholar who thinks very highly of himself.

Tang Xiaoqi crossed his hands on his waist and made a spicy look, and said loudly: "I won't be happy if you say that, the pastries in our house are made by my family, and even my mother's friends came to buy them for money, and you scolded and scolded as soon as you came up, and you want me to give you pastries for nothing, who do you think you are?" ”

When the neighbors heard the sound, they slowly gathered around. Tang Xiaowu also knew that she was embarrassed now, and she was even more angry.

With a hot head, he could say anything. "You shabby households, your whole life is the life of digging in the soil, who doesn't know that you hooked up with a man, and now you come back in a gray way, shouldn't you be abandoned?"

Most of the people around looked at Tang Xiaowu with a nonsensical look, after all, Tang Xiaowu's reputation in the village was really bad, and the panic she had said was not a thousand, but eight hundred.

Tang Xiaoqi looked around, there were a few people with different expressions, and he knew that it was the person who spread bad things about her, this kind of person was everywhere, and now they were just jealous of her.

Tang Xiaoqi coughed twice, and after seeing that everyone was looking at her, he said: "Folks, I haven't been at home recently, many people are curious about where I went, and there are also many rumors flowing out. As she spoke, she glanced at those people a few times, and they naturally didn't dare to look at her, but just shrunk their necks quickly.

Tang Xiaoqi continued: "I just want to clarify today, the reason why I'm not at home is because I found a job in the city, I have been working in a pharmacy in the city recently, if you don't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." ”

"What kind of work do you do in the pharmacy, don't fool people, besides, you are in the pharmacy and not the kitchen, how can you make such a fragrant thing?" Tang Xiaowu looked like he had caught a loophole, and asked proudly.

Tang Xiaoqi glanced at her and explained along with her question: "Everyone also knows that I have known medicinal materials before, and I will go to the mountains to collect medicinal materials to exchange money on weekdays," she nodded in agreement with everyone, and then said, "I thought of a way to maintain it with food supplements in the pharmacy, and the shopkeeper valued me very much, and the recipe for this pastry was figured out by myself, and when I come back now, my mother is about to celebrate her birthday, our family had no money before, and now that I have earned money, I want my mother to have a decent birthday." ”

When everyone heard her say this, they all praised her for her filial piety, Tang Xiaowu's whole face became even more distorted when he heard this, "That doesn't prove that you didn't hook up with a man, but I saw a man living in your house with my own eyes."

Tang Xiaoqi looked at her with a helpless expression, and said: "That person is a patient in the pharmacy, and he said that he wanted to cultivate in the countryside before he was in my house, and he also paid the rent, and even if I wanted to hook up with someone, I wouldn't bring him to the house." ”

"Cut, who knows if your whole family is stammering him, I think you must be willing to be cheap, and you don't care about anything else if he has money."

When Tang Xiaoqi heard her say this, a burst of anger rose in his heart, and he was about to refute, but he heard someone around him say: "Enough, we have listened to you for so long and you are talking nonsense alone, you casually ruin people's reputation, do you want face?" ”。

"That's it, who doesn't know who you are, you see how many people believe what you say, and you're still an unmarried girl, who dares to marry you when you speak so badly."

Tang Xiaowu saw that the people around her were all helping Tang Xiaoqi speak, knowing that she couldn't please today, and her two fists were invincible with four hands, she chopped her foot hard, glared at Tang Xiaoqi viciously, turned around and pushed away the crowd and ran home.

Tang Xiaoqi didn't have the money to care about her, but after thanking everyone, he took the little jujube paste cake left in the kitchen as a thank you gift.

Everyone got cheap, and their mouths were even better, and they hurriedly promised that they would not believe this kind of rumor, and if anyone dared to say bad things about Tang Xiaoqi in the future, they would not spare him.

Tang Xiaoqi returned to the courtyard, Li asked curiously what was going on outside, and after hearing that Tang Xiaowu came over to make trouble, his angry eyes were red, and Father Bai and Tang Xiaojiu also came back from the mountains.
