Chapter 25 Gift-giving
Fortunately, before the basket of chickens and the two-pound piece of pork and big bones could be unloaded from the carriage, the iron woman had already made a fuss. Otherwise, if she sees that there is such a good thing, what will happen if she doesn't listen to it!
This time, the two of them moved everything into the house in one go, closed the door, and closed the door again before reluctantly breathing a sigh of relief.
Looking at the things all over the house, the unhappiness of the black girl just now has been reduced by half.
"Mother, the chickens are still young, so let's put them in the firewood room first!"
Mu Pozi nodded, looked at the twelve chicks, and suddenly felt full of energy, thinking of chickens laying eggs, eggs and chickens, as if full of hope for the future.
The two rested for a while, and then began to sort out the things they had bought.
Although the house is newly renovated, there is no cabinet or anything like that in the house, not even a table and stool for eating.
The black girl frowned, always feeling that the silver in her pocket was still not enough to spend.
"Mother, do you know who in the village can work as a carpenter? ”
Mu Pozi didn't know if she was taken by a black girl, but she didn't feel so sorry for the silver.
"Mother knows, I'll ask in a while. ”
The black girl nodded, locked everything in the back room, and pulled the old lady out.
She was going to dig some wild vegetables, and she was arguing to eat them at night, and then urged the old lady to go to the carpenter in the village.
The black girl is not worried that there is no one at home, although it is locked, who knows if the iron woman will be crazy and ignore it. The matter of picking the lock, if the iron woman can do it, the black girl will not feel strange at all.
So she only dug a handful and hurried home.
When she returned, the old lady had not returned.
So she washed the rice, cut the meat, washed the bones early and put them in a big iron pot to boil the soup, and put ginseng slices, which is definitely a great tonic.
Then he fried a wild vegetable and fried meat, steamed the white rice, and Mu Pozi came back.
"You can smell it from afar. ”
Mu Pozi sniffed her nose, her saliva was a little overflowing, and her face was a little panicked.
"Black girl, let's eat like this, nothing will happen!"
The black girl understands what the old lady means, she is afraid that the villagers will know that she has meat to eat and be gossiped, but the black girl is not afraid.
"Mother, this is a pound of pork that I set aside, and a pound of brown sugar that has been wrapped, and it will be dark and dark in a while, and you will send it to the village chief's house." ”
"Why?"
It's not that Mu Pozi said this, it's just that she suddenly asked her to give gifts every year, and she couldn't understand it.
O simple woman in the village!
The black girl sighed, she has lived for more than 200 years in the Seven Heavens, but she is not a little medicine boy who does not know the world, as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
"The village chief helped us today, so we naturally want to thank us. ”
Although the black girl has long seen that this village chief is not a fair and selfless person, but people have to bow their heads under the eaves!
Mu Pozi thought about it, it was true, although she had never done this kind of thing, but ......
"Forget it, I'll deliver it after eating!"
As soon as she looked at the old lady, the black girl knew that the old lady didn't understand what she meant. She didn't send things to the village chief's house just to thank you.
When Mu Pozi heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She is now more and more dependent on the black girl, and seeing that the black girl is now grown up and can take on things, Mu Pozi is relieved.
The mother's dinner was unusually happy, mainly because of the meat and bone broth.
After dinner, it was already half dark, and the black girl went out with her things.
When she arrived outside the courtyard of the village chief's house, looking at the big green bricks on the front face of the village chief's earthen house, the black girl was a little envious, when would she be able to live in a blue brick and red tile house?
"Grandma Zhao, I'm a black girl, I have something. ”
The village chief's surname is Zhao, and he is actually of the same clan as her aunt's Zhao, but he is out of five suits, and he has no blood relationship for a long time.
When the grandmother of the Zhao family came out, she saw the black girl standing outside her yard, her face was not very good, she was quite pitiful to the mother and daughter at first, but recently the old man has always nagged the black girl in front of her, so she is also prejudiced against the black girl now.
"It's getting dark, what are you doing here?
Seeing that the grandmother of the Zhao family had no intention of opening the door, the black girl was not annoyed, and still said with a smile. "Today, thanks to the village elder for administering justice to our mother, I am here to thank you. ”
The black girl said and shook the pork in her hand unintentionally, which suddenly made the village chief's wife change her attitude.
In these years, who can't get along with pork?
"This is what your Grandpa Zhao should do, it was originally your reason, the iron woman is messing around, what do you want to thank. ”
Although he said this, the door that had been hung up opened happily.
As soon as the black girl entered the yard, she gave a heavy salute.
"Grandma Zhao, this is a little bit of my mother's heart and mine, I hope you don't dislike it. ”
Where would the old wife of the village chief's family dislike it, but she still shirked it before accepting it.
"You girl I grew up watching, you, you've been sensible since you were a child. Let's go inside and talk. ”
The brunette quickly shook her head.
"Grandma Zhao, it's getting dark, I won't go in, the village chief has offended my aunt in order to pity our mother and wife this time, and he must have filled in a lot of trouble for you. ”
When the village chief's daughter-in-law heard this, she immediately raised her eyebrows.
"Tie Pozi still dares to make trouble with us? She really regards herself as a bully in the village, if she dares to make trouble again, see how I clean her up. ”
The black girl was satisfied with the eye medicine on the iron woman, turned around and walked away neatly, and did not say more, so as not to backfire.
The village chief's daughter-in-law sent the black girl out of the gate before carrying her things back to the house.
Just now in the courtyard, how could the village chief, who was sitting at the door of the house smoking dry tobacco, not hear it?
Seeing that his wife walked into the house with something beautiful, he cursed.
"Something with shallow eyelids. ”
This sentence immediately angered Mrs. Zhao.
"I'm shallow-eyed? I just pity the mother and daughter, what's wrong? I have long said that the iron woman is not a thing, the girl who deceived her brother's family at the beginning, and now she doesn't even let go of the orphans and widows of her brother's family, it's just a dark heart, of course you, as the village chief, have to uphold justice. ”
As he spoke, he pulled the meat and sugar in his hand and locked it directly into the cabinet.
"Now I'm looking, the black girl is a good girl who knows gratitude, my vision is not wrong at all, where is the eyelids shallow?"
The village elder's own wife and son were speechless, sighed, and took two puffs of dry tobacco.
As the saying goes, that man's hands are short, and eating people's shortest, now that he has both, the village chief feels that the black girl will definitely not let him stop in the future.
Others can't see it, he has seen it since the last time the government came to give out blood silver. This black girl is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, even the people in the government dare to calculate, what else does she dare not dare?
