The two went to Ripples' house together, and told Ripples about how they met Chen Jiashu and what happened to Qian Jianguo at the door.

Ripples placed fried peanuts, fried melon seeds, and steamed chestnuts on the kang table, and asked the two to talk while eating.

"It's better for you to be here, we have to plan what we eat at the Zhiqing Point, and we have to look at other people's faces, and we don't dare to eat alone if we have good things, so we should be more comfortable in our own home."

Zheng Xin peeled peanuts and complained.

Wang Xiufen smiled and didn't refute, it is really inconvenient to eat better at the educated youth point, they also have to consider the situation of the male educated youth, otherwise they will be said to be ignorant.

"It's rare for Chen Jiashu to be so generous this time, and take the money out to invite you to dinner."

After Zheng Xin finished complaining, she had already moved on to the next topic.

"He's not generous, just clear about the world, as the saying goes, eat people's soft mouth, take people's hands short, he is like this, he will inevitably need our care in the future, this is to prepare in advance!

Otherwise, with his searching temperament, he would be willing to take out five yuan, and when the ripples hurt his head, he just pulled out a handful of wildflowers. ”

Wang Xiufen said sarcastically, she doesn't look down on Chen Jiashu, just because she is also an educated youth, that is, she has a face.

"Sister Xiufen is right, you don't go to him in the future, don't put you in it when the time comes."

Ripple ate the sweet and glutinous chestnuts while reminding Zheng Xin.

"Not really!"

Zheng Xin said.

"Who knows! It's better to be careful! ”

Ripple said nonchalantly.

"Chen Jiashu knew that you were married, and he was very surprised to leave the Educated Youth Point, and he was very unhappy, as if you had done something sorry for him."

Wang Xiufen pulled back to the topic, mainly to remind the ripples.

"This kind of person won't find problems from himself, he must be resentful of me."

Thinking with his toes, Ripple could guess Chen Jiashu's dark psychology, otherwise he would not have treated his former lover like that in his previous life.

"I look at it too, you still don't go to the youth point in the future, if there is anything, we will come to you."

"Well, I don't have anything to do with him now, and besides, I'm a married woman now, so I naturally want to avoid suspicion."

Ripple said with a smile, not taking Chen Jiashu in his eyes at all.

The three chatted for a while, read the book for a while, and Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin rushed back to the Zhiqing Point before dinner.

At this time, Zhao Jingcheng also came back, and he listened to the arrangement of the ripples in the past two days, taking advantage of the fact that there was no second heavy snowfall, and bought food back little by little.

Today he went out early in the morning to a town farther away to buy some dried seafood, and then came back a little late.

"Change your clothes first, go to the cold, there is mutton soup left for you in the stove room, the cakes are buttoned in the pot, you eat first."

Ripple was doing the exercise book, and when he saw Zhao Jingcheng coming back, he said directly.

This was stewed after she ate breakfast, Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin drank a bowl of mutton soup before leaving, and felt that they had taken a big advantage, so they refused to eat a piece of meat, saying that their bodies were warm, and they left happily.

Zhao Jingcheng was accustomed to acting according to Ripples' instructions, he put the basket on his back outside the door, changed into a thin cotton jacket worn at home, went to the stove room, made cakes in mutton soup, ate two bowls of hulala, and gnawed two pieces of mutton bone meat, and brushed the pot and chopsticks with a full burp.

He washed his face again, brushed his teeth, brought hot water into the room, and let Ripple wash, and he reported today's harvest.

"Although the town next door is far away, it is bigger than our town, and there are more things, and it is close to the end of the year, and there are many grain convoys from the south, and they all bring private goods to sell in the market, I saw that there are sea vegetables, and I thought you should like to eat, so I bought some."

As he spoke, he took out the contents of the basket and placed them on the kang table to let the ripples pass.

Ripple was soaking his feet at this time, looking at the things on the table, there were seaweed, kelp slices, jellyfish, and some kelp fish.

"These are very good, you can add two more dishes for the New Year, and they will be frozen in the cellar, don't put these things together with beef and mutton, they have a big taste, you can put them in a corner of the cellar alone."

"Got it!"

"I took the gold bracelet you gave me and sold it on the black market, and I got two hundred and thirty yuan, and for fifty yuan I bought grain, rice and white flour without tickets, and the rest of the money is here."

Zhao Jingcheng honestly confessed.

"I know, you put it away, and the expenses of the family will come out of it."

Ripple said directly.

"When the captain's funeral is over, I want to go up the mountain before the second snowfall."

Zhao Jingcheng thought for a while and said.

"What are you going to do?"

Ripple asked, raising an eyebrow.

Zhao Jingcheng pondered for a moment before he spoke:

"I found a piece of ginseng in the depths of the mountain forest before, some big and some small, I didn't bring tools at that time, so I didn't dare to dig it, I only tied a red rope, I wanted to go and see it."

"Are you afraid that others will find out?"

"I'm afraid I'll be spoiled by the animals in the mountains."

Zhao Jingcheng told the truth.

"Okay, since you don't worry, go and see, I won't stop you, if it's okay, come back quickly, don't dig out all the ginseng, dig up a tree with the shortest year and we'll keep it, don't move the others first, it will be of great use in the future."

"I understand! We won't preserve, don't reduce the medicinal properties of ginseng, then it will spoil the good things. ”

Zhao Jingcheng understood the meaning of the ripples, and agreed very happily.

The next day, after the two had breakfast, Ripple put on a thick cotton coat, carried a basket, followed Zhao Jingcheng, and walked to Zhao Zhan's house.

"I have already been to the captain's house two days ago and helped build the funeral shed, you just went through the motions this time, you don't have to stay too long, it is estimated that their family will be buried tomorrow."

Zhao Jingcheng slowed down and explained to Ripples as he walked.

"I see."

Along the way, the two also met a few families who went to mourn, and they would take the initiative to say hello:

"Jing Cheng, take your daughter-in-law to Captain Zhao's house?"

"Well, go and send my uncle to let him know that I have married a daughter-in-law, so it is easier to leave with peace of mind."

Zhao Jingcheng said lightly.

"Yes, yes!"

When they arrived at Zhao Zhan's house, they found that the courtyard in front of the rough house was full of people, and there were also voices of crying and scolding from inside.

Several people looked inexplicable, and walked two steps faster, wanting to see what was going on.

Ripple had good eyes, and with just a sweep, he saw Wang Xiufen and Zheng Xin in the crowd, the two of them stamped their feet in the cold, and they didn't leave, and they were watching the excitement.

"Jing Cheng, I'll ask them what's going on."

After speaking, he stuck into the pile of women, and Zhao Jingcheng went to the other side with the men.

"Sister Xiufen, Zheng Xin, which one is this?"

Ripple squeezed into the crowd and came to the two of them and asked.

"Ripples, you're here!"

The two of them turned around and saw ripples of arms up to their teeth, and after nodding their heads, they began to introduce her to the situation.

"It's Pan Nuannuan's family who came to make trouble!"
