In the past two days, Chen Zhiyuan came to Niu Dali's house early in the morning to pull spiced melon seeds, although it takes more than 40 copper plates to hire a carriage from Luozhen to Xinghua Village every day, but compared with the silver earned, this money is really nothing.

You must know that in the past two days, their five-spiced melon seeds have been sold at a higher price than Fukelai, but they are still very good, and the silver earned is much more than that of the Chen family for several months.

Seeing so much silver, Chen Laohan and Mrs. Chen both laughed from ear to ear.

And Xia Yunhe's status in the Chen family has also changed, in the past, Mrs. Chen often used to talk about her mother's poverty, asking her not to secretly use the Chen family's things to subsidize her poor relatives, and also asked her to go to her mother's house if she had nothing to do.

Now it's different, Old Man Chen and Mrs. Chen can't wait for her to have a relationship with her mother's family, and even ask Brother Zhiyuan to take her back to Xia's house to sit down, or go to her cousin Niu Dali's house.

"Your cousin's family came to a relative yesterday, it seems to be your cousin's daughter-in-law's side. ”

Chen Zhiyuan came back from outside, took a sip of tea, and told the news he heard from Xinghua Village.

"Is there anyone else in my cousin's daughter-in-law's family?" I heard my sister-in-law say that my cousin's daughter-in-law was originally a maid of a rich family, and she was later released, but she didn't expect that there was a big flood in the house, and her relatives were gone.

"I don't know much about this, I heard the people who worked in the workshop say that your cousin's family went to the city to meet, but this is also a good thing, and it is fate that we can meet after being separated for many years!" Chen Zhiyuan sighed.

Chen Laohan pondered for a moment and said, "How to say this is also a happy event, Zhiyuan, you Ming'er and your daughter-in-law went to Niu's house to say goodbye." ”

Chen Zhiyuan nodded, he understood what his father meant, now their Chen family is counting on this cousin's family to eat, and they can have a good relationship as much as possible.

Xia Yunhe hesitated, "I don't know if my father knows?"

Chen Zhiyuan thought for a while, "I'll go to your house in the afternoon and talk to my father." ”

The smile on Xia Yunhe's face gradually rose, Chen Laohan didn't have any opinions, the Xia family is different now, and moving around more will be good for the future.

Mrs. Chen felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she remembered Chen Laohan's explanation, and looked at the silver that Chen Zhiyuan sold today, so she didn't say anything.

The next day, Chen Zhiyuan's family and the Xia family came over.

Except for the grandfather and grandmother of the Xia family, they did not come because of their age and the need for people to guard the chicken farm, but the rest of the Xia family came, which made the originally quiet courtyard suddenly lively.

At first, when he heard that they were here to say goodbye, Niu Dali was still a little confused, but then he reacted that they were here to celebrate the reunion of Li Xianglan and Leng Qiuniang's sisters, and he laughed a little in his heart.

However, although Li Xianglan and Leng Qiuniang are not sisters, they are emotionally the same as sisters.

Li Xianglan introduced Leng Qiuniang and Bi'er to them, the Xia family and the Chen family had only one thought when they saw Leng Qiuniang, sure enough, they were a family, their sister was so good-looking, and their sister was not bad.

A plate of spiced melon seeds and some pastries were placed on the table, the women chatted in the back room, the men chatted in the main room, and the children played in the courtyard.

"This embroidery is pandan's, it's so well embroidered!"

In the back room, Xia Dongcao held two pairs of embroidery, full of praise, she knew that Li Xianglan's embroidery was very good, but she didn't expect it to be so good-looking.

Tian and Xia Yunhe were also attracted by the exquisite embroidery.

"Auntie, where is this, this is embroidered by Qiu Niang!" Li Xianglan smiled lightly.

Xia Dongcao and Xia Yunhe suddenly cast their eyes in awe and worship.

Ancient women have a necessary skill, that is, women are popular, whether it is a woman in her twilight years, or a little girl of seven or eight years old, she can more or less needlework.

Let's not mention that clothes usually need to be sewn and mended, but in this ancient time, where most families were dominated by agricultural economy, many men did not go out to earn a living, but lived by cultivating their own fields.

In addition to housework, if you want to add income to your family, you can only do needlework.

A woman who is good at needlework will earn face for her husband, and her husband's family will also look up to her, so many women begin to follow their mothers to learn female popularity when they are young, and people often evaluate whether a woman is a good wife and mother, depending on whether she is a good female celebrity.

Widow Sun relied on a few needlework taught to her by Li Xianglan back then, which barely supported their orphans and widows.

However, due to the lack of a good master, many women's needlework is very rough, and they only sew the clothes of the family, and there are still relatively few people who can sell them, and there are still relatively few who can sell them at a good price.

Therefore, many women also envy and worship those who are popular.

"Let you see and laugh, take it if you like!"

Leng Qiu Niang is not a cold personality in her bones, but because she has experienced too many things, she has to be cold, and now that she has left Zuichun Building, she feels the need to start again.

"No, no, no, this is embroidered by you, how can we accept it?" Xia Dongcao waved her hand, she often took the embroidery to sell, and naturally she could see that the price of these embroideries was not low.

"It's okay, this is just embroidery I spent my time embroidering, it's worthless!" Leng Qiuniang shook her head.

Xia Dongchun and Xia Yunhe were noncommittal, such exquisite embroidery could be sold at a good price if it was sold in the town's embroidery village.

Seeing that the two of them didn't mean to accept it, Leng Qiuniang thought for a while, "If you don't mind, how about I teach you embroidery?"

"Is this okay?" Xia Dongcao and Xia Yunhe were a little excited, they both knew that there were some embroidery techniques that many people would not pass on easily.

"What's wrong with this!" Leng Qiuniang said with a smile.

And at this moment, in the house, Niu Dali asked about the physical condition of his grandparents and grandmother, Xia Dongchun asked him not to worry, grandpa and grandmother are in good health, Chen Zhiyuan's expression is quite restrained, and most of the time he only listens.

"Cousin-in-law, are the spiced melon seeds still selling?" Niu Dali smiled honestly.

"It's good to sell, thanks to you, the spiced melon seeds will be sold out as soon as they are pulled into the town. Chen Zhiyuan nodded with a smile.

"That's good!"

Although Niu Dali has been in contact with Chen Zhiyuan for a short time, he feels that Chen Zhiyuan is not bad.

After all, a person who has been in the wrong leg and foot since he was a child has to endure many strange eyes and verbal laughter, and there will be some shadows psychologically, which will accompany him to grow up, and finally be able to face life positively, and there are very few people who are sunny.

And Chen Zhiyuan, at least from the current point of view, does not have that dark side.

"Dad, that girl hit me!!"

Suddenly, Chen Cong ran in from the courtyard crying, and cried to Chen Zhiyuan with an aggrieved face.

Xia Dongchun and Xia Chuanhe looked at each other silently, although they didn't understand the situation, they felt that the eldest and second girls of the Dali family were not the kind of children who would beat people casually.
