Chapter 84: Gossip
No one can resist the temptation to roast sweet potatoes in winter.
Chuntao's sweet potatoes are big and thin-skinned, soft and glutinous and sweet, Jiang Zhimiao ate several in one go, and finally sat by the fire and fought stiffly when he couldn't eat them.
The first meal of the stay, the big guy ate very much.
The things in the house were almost cleaned up, and in the next day, after playing for a while, the three children went back to their respective houses to sleep.
Elder Wen still didn't want to live with Wen's father and them, he said, the children have their own lives when they are older, this house is not big, and it is inevitably a little inconvenient to live together, so he also went to draw lots before.
What he drew was room 27, a little away from here, Jiang Zhimiao went to see it during the day, and the pattern was the same as them, but it was a little far away.
But seeing that he looked happy, Jiang Zhimiao didn't have much to persuade him, this house is really not big, if they all live together, it's okay to eat or something, but it's really not convenient to take a bath or sleep or something.
The house was cleaned up properly by the Wen family, Jiang Zhimiao saw that the house was a little ventilated, so he followed the back to repair it, the elderly can't stand the cold, and if they freeze, they will get sick, if they get sick, they will inevitably suffer.
The two families gave a quilt to a quilt, and there was not much quilt in total, which was cushioned and covered, and a bed was already the limit, so I would go to the county tomorrow to buy a few beds to make up.
As soon as she came back from Wen Lao's, Chun Tao came over, and Jiang Zhimiao, who was far away, saw her standing on the ridge.
"Chun Tao, this, I'm here!" Jiang Zhimiao waved his hand as he walked and greeted him.
As soon as Chun Tao heard her name, she subconsciously turned her head, and saw that the girl was walking this way, she waved her hand and responded with a smile: "Sister, I'm here!" ”
Jiang Zhimiao said that she could wait at the ridge before, although the village chief numbered each room, but Chun Tao was illiterate, so she naturally couldn't recognize where the seventeenth house was, so Jiang Zhimiao asked her to wait at the ridge.
Isn't this just a coincidence, just came back from Wen Lao's, and met Chun Tao, it's really better to be in time than to be in a hurry.
The exile is finally over, and now that people have a place to live again, after simply cleaning the house, they basically take a nap at home during the next day, Jiang Zhimiao suddenly made a sound, but it woke up many people.
"Who! What is the noise, what is the noise! You can't stop the meeting! ”
"That's it, who is this, who doesn't sleep at noon, wandering around outside, you don't sleep and others still have to sleep, can't be quiet?!"
"Don't let Lao Tzu catch someone who is scaring outside, if you catch me, see if I don't want him to look good!"
Listening to the complaints one after another, Jiang Zhimiao was silent.
It was she who was not thoughtful, this was finally settled, everyone was eager to sleep beautifully, she was really disappointed, seeing that the complaining gradually stopped, Jiang Zhimiao closed her mouth, lifted the speed on her feet, and quickly went to the ridge to meet with Chun Tao.
Chun Tao only vaguely heard someone talking, but couldn't hear what was said, seeing that the girl made a silent movement, she nodded, and stood in place waiting for her.
After the two converged, Jiang Zhimiao taught her to find herbs in the field, but she didn't expect Chun Tao's memory to be quite good, and she remembered it all after teaching it twice, which was beyond her expectations.
However, in order to be sure, Jiang Zhimiao still collected some more herbs for her to keep as a sample, if she forgot it, she would just draw a scoop according to the gourd next time, anyway, they are all common medicines.
The two buried their heads in the field and picked for more than an hour.
The sunshine of the west sinked on Jiang Zhimiao's hand, she looked at the sun, threw the medicinal herbs in her hand into the bamboo basket, and raised her hand to wipe her sweat.
"Spring peaches, I've picked a basket, it's enough for Uncle Genzi to eat, it's not early this day, don't pick it, go back quickly."
Chun Tao straightened her waist slightly, looked at her with a wooden face, and threw the herbs in her hand into the basket, "I know, Sister Miao, I'll go home." ”
After the two gathered the medicinal herbs collected during the next day, they parted ways and went home.
It's really not early at this time, many people have set up dinner, smelling the aroma wafting from other people's houses, Jiang Zhimiao didn't pause, and rushed home without looking back.
When the next day and Chun Tao were picking medicine, the two chatted a lot, and Jiang Zhimiao knew some gossip about Sweet Water Village.
For example, why did Ge San's family temporarily regret it, since Ge San lost five taels of silver in the gambling house in the town, his daughter-in-law Li Sanniang showed him strictly and honestly, and didn't let him leave home at all.
It is said that Li Sanniang was a well-known spicy person in the village when she was young, and since she married Ge San, they have been fighting for three days, but after Ge San lost five taels of silver, he probably felt faceless, but he was much more restrained.
In short, now Ge Sanjia is her master, and Li Sanniang's most hated thing in her life is corrupt officials, her father was framed for doing business in the town when he was young, and because he didn't send money to the government, his left leg was broken by Shengsheng, and finally became a cripple.
Therefore, people like Jiang Zhimiao and them, she hates them, let alone sells them food.
For another example, Wu Changsheng, the village chief of Tianshui Village, is a very high-spirited person, and he wants to surpass Kugen Village with one mind, and he has raised sheep and pigs in the village over the years, but in the end, he has not raised them, but he owes a lot of debts, which makes the villagers miserable.
Fortunately, he didn't toss later, and his life was peaceful, and the villagers' lives were better, but the previous toss took root in the hearts of the villagers, and they more or less complained about him.
Listening to these gossips, Jiang Zhimiao thought it was quite interesting, no wonder when he first arrived in Tianshui Village, the village chief Wu didn't ask anyone to help him, and after a long time, the people in the village didn't accept him, so he didn't call anyone to help.
Of course, this afternoon, Jiang Zhimiao not only listened to the gossip, she was not familiar with this sweet water village, and she didn't know how to go to the market tomorrow, she found the way from Chun Tao's mouth.
The nearest town from Tianshui Village is Baiyun Town, every day there will be someone at the entrance of the village to drive the ox cart on the set, from Sweet Water Village to Baiyun Town, one to go back and forth for two hours, if you want to be relaxed, you can sit on the ox cart to collect it with two copper plates, if you feel sorry for the silver, then you can only go.
Jiang Zhimiao decided to push the cart to the market tomorrow, this time back to the town to buy a lot of things, it's good to go, two copper plates are fine, but there are many things to turn around, if people don't want to pull, it's not to go back.
Anyway, the area of the cart is large, buy more this time, and take the ox cart to the market in the future, she thought about going back to discuss with the Wen family, anyway, she had to go to the set, so she simply got a companion, thinking about Jiang Zhimiao and arriving home.
The dinner is still roasted sweet potatoes, there are only sweet potatoes at home, and if you don't eat sweet potatoes, you won't have to eat them, but after eating hard cakes for so many days, and then eating half moon baked sweet potatoes, they still eat fragrant.
After a simple cleanup, Jiang Zhimiao went to the Wen family to discuss the matter of the last episode, and there was no doubt that they sent Wen Zhuqing again, and the two hit it off and decided to push the cart to the set.
The matter was almost discussed, and Jiang Zhimiao went home and fell asleep.
