Chapter 144: Left Ear In, Right Ear Out
The next day, Chen Xiaonian got up early in the morning and drew all the sketches of the zodiac that were not completed yesterday, and Erlang came back from the town and handed over the money from today's sale to her.
Chen Xiaonian put the money in the money bag and put it away.
Today's weather is good, Wang put the table in the courtyard, and was serving breakfast for a while, urging Chen Xiaonian, "I can't get there for a while, so I put it first and use breakfast." ”
Chen Xiaonian didn't seem to hear it, but just took the ones he had just drawn, and asked Erlang's opinion one by one.
What opinion Erlang can have, as long as it is the little daughter-in-law's, he will say it is good.
Chen Xiaonian put away the drawing paper, and the family had just finished eating, and before they had time to clean up, they saw Cui Tao's father standing at the door and couldn't stop visiting.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
Chen Xiaonian's first reaction was that something had happened to Cui Tao, but after thinking about it, if something really happened to Cui Tao, how could Cui Tao's father be so supportive.
Cui Tao's father walked in, a little embarrassed. Seeing that they were about to clean up the table, they were busy cleaning up together.
Wang thought that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he kept him to use some together, saying that he would go to the kitchen to get another bowl of porridge.
Cui Tao's father looked at the fresh vegetables on the table, the cakes made of white rice, and the thick rice porridge, and swallowed it fragrantly.
"No, no, I just want to ask, when are we going to Taihai Town to have a look?"
Chen Xiaonian and Erlang looked at each other, and she asked, "Uncle, I mean, you just pack up your things, let's take them away in a car, and you won't have to run back." ”
Cui Tao's father shook his head, "This can't be done, the house over there is not settled, you can't sleep on the beach, right?" ”
Chen Xiaonian laughed, "Don't worry about the house, since I said this, then I will definitely be able to arrange it for you." It takes seven or eight days to go back and forth from Taihai Town, and it can't take such a long time, besides, Sister Cuitao is not well yet, so don't toss back after you pass. You and your aunt also have to be by your side, don't you? ”
Cui Tao's father slapped his head, "I really didn't expect this." Can ......"
He made a difficulty, "The house is also full of worthless things, just bring some commonly used ones, just ......"
He took out more than a dozen coins from his arms, "This is all the silver in the family, I'm afraid I can't even buy a bed, I'm afraid I'm ......."
"Uncle."
Chen Xiaonian sighed: "Didn't I say it, I must have arranged it for you." Now go back and pack up what you want to take with you, and if there is not enough for a carriage, I will borrow another one for you, but don't leave anything important. ”
Cui Tao's father was grateful for a handful of snot and tears, and he almost knelt down for Chen Xiaonian.
Before leaving, Erlang took two biscats and put them in Cui Tao's father's hand, and when Cui Tao's father was stunned, he had already turned around and went to busy his work.
Cui Tao's father wiped away his tears, thanked him twice, and then left.
When she returned home, Cui Taoniang saw the two cakes in his hand and complained, "Didn't you go to Xiao Nian's house to ask about the situation?" How did I go to buy bread? ”
His father put both cakes next to his daughter's pillow and called for her to get up and eat something, and then he had to reply: "It was given by Erlang." ”
Cui Tao Niang was surprised: "The cake he gave? ”
She recognized at a glance that it was made with the best white noodles, and when she heard that Chen Xiaonian even had such a good breakfast at home, Cui Taoniang burst into tears.
"If we had listened to Xiao Nian earlier, our Cui Tao would not have been so miserable."
Cui Tao's eyes were already different from yesterday's, "We can do the same in the future." ”
He muttered, and he didn't know whether to tell others or himself.
Seeing that Yu An'an hadn't come over yet, Chen Xiaonian retraced those sketches again, had something in his mind, and added some details to them.
Every time Erlang passed by, he picked up one and looked at it carefully, nodded, put it down with satisfaction, and walked away to get busy with his own things.
"Xiao Nian, the sweet potato vines are about to climb the ground, and I don't think our family can eat so much, so my family will share some."
Wang had just returned from the field with a few fresh sweet potatoes in his hand.
Chen Xiaonian has been busy with other things in the past few days, and he is also worried about other people's land, that is, he has forgotten the things in his own land.
"Okay, mother, you just call the shots."
Wang washed the sweet potatoes and said casually: "Every time the millet has to be bought from the town, the price is not low, some time ago the price of white flour was a few cents lower, and in winter, I am afraid it will be coaxed again." We have such a good land, it would be nice if we could grow these too. ”
Chen Xiaonian stopped what he was doing, and followed Wang's words just now, remembering that millet and chestnut rice are all cold-tolerant crops, and Heshan Village is in the south of Daqi, and few people can grow it, and even if it can be planted, the growth is not as good as that from the north. Everyone would rather spend more money to buy it than bother to spend this effort to grow this.
"Mother, let's also buy some seeds to plant, so we don't have to spend money to buy them in the future. Now is the time to plant millet rice......"
Before Chen Xiaonian's words were finished, Wang's wet hand had already poked at her head.
"What do you want to daydream? If you can grow these here, do you still need to say? Your father and I have already planted the ground. ”
Speaking of Chen Xiaonian and his father, Wang's expression was gloomy, he got up and entered the stove room, turned his back, raised his sleeve and wiped the corners of his eyes.
Chen Xiaonian felt distressed when he saw it, and wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know what to say.
Erlang beckoned her over, took her hand and asked her in the palm of his hand: Can it really be planted?
Although it is a hardy crop, Chen Xiaonian thought, since seafood can be farmed, why can't he try something else?
I went to buy seeds.
Erlang dropped these words in the palm of her hand, led the horse out, and sat down beautifully.
Chen Xiaonian stopped him, "I'm afraid there is no sale in the town, I'm afraid there is no one in the county." We are in the south, and it is not suitable to plant this, so don't toss. ”
Jiro heard it, the left ear went in, and the right ear went out.
Seeing him riding away, Chen Xiaonian couldn't help but scold him for being a fool.
Jiro went from noon to afternoon.
Seeing that it was about to be time, Chen Xiaonian didn't wait for Erlang, let alone Yu An'an.
Wang knew that his aunt was good, but he was not worried, but when he saw Chen Xiaonian standing at the door, he thought that she was still waiting for Yu An'an.
"Read, I'm afraid that something will be delayed. She gave the deposit, if she doesn't come today, she will always come tomorrow, so you come in first. ”
Chen Xiaonian was still standing at the door, looking into the distance, raising his ears to listen to the movement of the foreground.
If there was a sound of horses' hooves, she would hear it as soon as she could.
She is not equal to An An, she is waiting for her husband, Jian Erlang.
