Early the next morning, when Qiao Xuan came out of the room, Xi Yan was loosening soil in the yard.

"I'm going to grow some vegetables here, and raise a few chickens here."

Xi Yan pointed to her feet and then to the vacant piece next to the kitchen, and said with a smile.

Qiao Xuan washed in the yard, "Didn't you say that you want to do business, what business are you going to do?" ”

Xi Yan stuck the hoe into the soil and straightened her waist, "Isn't there a main road with a lot of pedestrians on the road leading to the villages at the gate of the town!" I'm going to build a pergola on that road to buy herbal tea, there are so many people coming and going, someone will definitely sell it. ”

"What do you think?"

Qiao Xuan, who looked forward to Shang Xiyan, couldn't bear to hit her, "Why don't you try?" ”

"Okay! Then I'll go to the mountains and dig some prunella grass later. ”

Xi Yan is full of energy, the prunella grass for boiling herbal tea can be dug up on the mountain, even if the small business can't make money, it can't lose anywhere, try it and there is no loss, this doesn't work and then change to something else, there are more ways than difficulties.

"Then I'll go chop some more wood!"

Xi He came out of the room, picked up an axe in the corner and said.

"Sister Xi, I'll catch the little chicken you want" Li Yue's head poked in at the gate of the courtyard.

"Come on in, how many?"

Xi Yan threw the hoe and ran over happily, Qiao Xuan walked out of the kitchen with a steamed bun in his hand, and walked to the door while eating.

Not to mention, the fist-sized chicks are so cute, there are fifteen or sixteen of them.

"There are only eight in my family, I'm afraid you won't be enough, so I caught a few more from my mother's house" Li Yue put the basket in her hand on the ground, and gently flicked the little chicks with her meaty palm, "It's all alive and healthy." ”

Xi Yan's eyes were full of joy, "I probably won't want so much." ”

"It's okay! It's okay! I'll keep you as much as you want, and I'll raise the rest at home myself, and raise raw eggs for my son to eat, and if he wants to study, he will eat more good food. ”

Li Yue said indifferently.

Xi Yan looked at Qiao Xuan, "How many should we raise?" ”

"Ten of them! No more, no less, it means good, perfect" Qiao Xuan squatted down and dropped some steamed bun crumbs into the basket, and the little chick lowered his head and pecked violently.

Li Yue's eyes rolled, "Then I'll raise ten too." ”

She also has a good meaning, ten is no more and no less, just right.

After picking out the chickens, Li Yue said casually: "I just heard Sister Xi outside the yard saying that she was going to the mountains to dig prunella grass?" ”

"Why did you dig that thing? I have a lot of family, if you want it, my sister will give it to you! ”

"Huh?" Xi Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled embarrassedly, "No need! ”

Qiao Xuan glanced at Li Yue, and his expression seemed to say: You heard it, you heard it, what else are you trying to do? Deliberately pretending to be stupid.

"Well, you don't have to be polite to me, just decide, I'll bring you all my prunella later."

Li Yue picked up the remaining chicken cubs in the basket and walked as she spoke, as if she was afraid that Qiao Xuan and Xi Yan would run away.

Xi Yan helplessly held her forehead, "She won't come to make trouble if we sell herbal tea, right?" ”

Qiao Xuan shrugged, "Obviously. ”

"Forget it! Regardless of her, we don't know if it's okay yet, let's take a step at a time. ”

Xi Yan sighed, and said again: "She's too anxious to leave, I haven't given her the money yet, so I can only wait for the next time I meet her and give it to her." ”

The other side.

Xi He didn't go far from Qiao's house when he met Lin's seventh daughter-in-law, Zheng, who was carrying a basket.

"Xi Gongzi, this is going to chop wood?"

It's been a while since Lin Qi died, and she seems to have adjusted her state, and she greeted Xi He with a smile when she saw her.

"Hmm," Xi He nodded expressionlessly and walked past her.

Zheng didn't care about his cold attitude, and turned around to follow him.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Xi He frowned and increased his steps, but he increased his speed and the speed of the people behind him was also faster.

"Don't follow me!"

Xi He stopped suddenly, and the person behind him didn't react and almost hit him in his arms, but fortunately, he flashed to the side with his flexible body, and Zheng suddenly threw himself on the ground.

"Mr. Xi, I want to talk to you."

Zheng got up from the ground weakly, and the smile on his face was a little broken and pitiful.

"There is a difference between men and women, if you have anything to say, go to Qiao Xuan, I have nothing to say to you, please pay attention to the impact."

Xi He's unkindness seems to be a stone, cold.

Zheng's heart fluttered, and he was secretly jealous that Qiao Xuan's stinky girl had such a handsome fiancé, and I heard from the people in the village that Xi He was also admitted to Xiucai, and now he is a talented son, knowledgeable, and good, and he will definitely have great ability in the future.

Seeing that Zheng didn't speak, Xi He continued to walk forward, but he just took a few steps before Zheng caught up.

"What I'm going to tell you is about Qiao Xuan, you are not in the village, you don't know a lot of Qiao Xuan's things, don't be deceived by that girl."

Zheng blurted out, thinking in his heart about pouring dirty water on Qiao Xuan, sowing discord, and making the relationship between Qiao Xuan and Xi He worse.

"My fiancée, I don't need to know from other people's mouths," a look of impatience flashed in Xi He's narrow eyes.

"Please respect yourself!"

Zheng's heart tightened when Xi He's eyes looked at her, and her face turned red, as if she had been greatly humiliated.

Xi He took the path on the side of the road and soon disappeared into the woods.

Zheng stood there and looked in the direction he was going.

"Poof, hahaha" A laugh came, "Ouch! The man has only been dead for a few days, and he can't bear the loneliness. ”

Li Yue and the three village women stood a few steps away and smiled at Zheng.

"Who is Xi He? That's a talented boy in the town, a scholar, how could he look down on a widow. ”

"It's not the few dead mother-in-law men in our village, you can see a woman, and you laugh to death."

"I'm afraid that Village Chief Qiao doesn't know about this yet, and I don't know if he will tell her when Gongzi returns to Qiao's house.

Anyway, I can see that although our village chief is young, he is not easy to mess with, and some people are afraid that they will be unlucky. ”

Li Yue's voice was not small, and every sentence clearly reached Zheng's ears, and her face was hot, as if she had been slapped several times.

"What are you talking nonsense with your mouths?" She grabbed the back basket on her shoulder and scolded angrily, "Be careful that I tear your mouths and swell your faces." ”

"Oh, I'm scared to death!"

Li Yue patted her chest a little exaggeratedly and pretended to say.

"We're not afraid of you, and we'll tell the village chief about your hookup with Xi Gongzi later."

A thin woman standing next to Li Yue stared at the Zheng family mockingly, their family had conflicts with the Lin family in the early years, so they would have caught the handle now! borrowed Qiao Xuan's crazy girl's hand to treat the Zheng family.
