The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 82

It was Xu’s family who refused to let her go. Li Qinghe didn’t know about it at first, and Zhou Chengkang naturally didn’t know. Both faces showed some surprised expressions.

Zhang Haiyao turned his head to look at the carriage here in anger. After meeting the two men with surprised expressions, he directed his anger at Xu again, “Then why don’t you tell me?”

Xu’s gentle voice came out, “I didn’t know about this earlier, or the coachman came to tell me today, saying that your father specially asked him to let you stay in the village and live a good life. I was surprised. Also, originally we said that someone would tell you to pack your luggage, but I didn’t even ask someone to tell you that you have packed your luggage and you are leaving…The coachman is also embarrassed.”

“If you have to go to the county seat, that’s okay. Anyway, I’ll drop in. You just get down by yourself when you get to the city gate, and then you go back by yourself, pretending not to go with me. Hai Yao, you know who I am, don’t let me I am embarrassed. Okay?”

Her tone was always gentle, and she brought a bit of pleading at the end of the conversation. Zhang Haiyao’s expression changed, and her hand carrying the burden became tighter and tighter. She went back on her own, and probably couldn’t get in.

Xu looked at the sky, “Are you going? Hurry up and decide. The journey to the county seat is far away, so we have to hurry.”

In the Zhou family yard over there, the child in Zhou Lao San’s arms suddenly cried, “Mother…”

With a cry, Zhang Haiyao yelled back to her senses. Seeing the tears on the child’s face, she gritted her teeth and said, “Not going.”

With that said, he quickly entered the Zhou family’s yard with a burden, and coaxed into the door after taking the child in Zhou Lao San’s arms.

Seeing this, Zhou Mu, who had been quietly watching inside the door, also breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage in front set off again, and Li Qinghe leaned back in the carriage. The road to the town was not far away. He quickly passed through the town and reached the intersection to the county seat.

The carriage in front stopped again. Xu jumped out of the carriage and stopped Li Qinghe who wanted to get off the carriage. He looked at the child in her arms, “Don’t get down, be careful that the child catches a cold after eating. You are fine, Don’t worry me. If something happens, go to the county town to find me. I have told you somewhere…”

As she talked, her eyes were red, she stretched out her hand and turned to the carriage in front of her. Under the cloak, she could see that her feet were almost running. Waved to the back, “It’s so cold, go back.” The voice was a little distorted, with a cry.

Bin’er in the carriage in front also poked his head out and waved at them. Li Qinghe sat in the carriage and watched them go further and further until they disappeared.

She hadn’t blinked, her eyes were a little sour, Zhou Chengkang stretched out her hand to cover it, “Don’t look, let’s go back in such a cold day.”

Parting was a bit sad, because they took the children, and the two of them did not go to the street and went straight back to the village. When he saw the big tree at the entrance of the village, Li Qinghe looked back and saw the child in his arms raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly. Her little tongue was exposed. She was a little surprised. Recently, the child laughed almost every day, but every time she saw it, she felt satisfied. Suddenly, most of the sadness of parting disappeared.

As soon as the two men arrived home in their carriage, they saw Zhou Laosan coming from a distance, carrying a small baggage in his hand. After approaching, he put the baggage into Li Qinghe’s arms, “Sister, thank you for today’s matter.”

“What is this for?” Li Qinghe handed it back hurriedly, “It’s none of my business.”

Zhou Lao San smiled, “It’s your mother who helped me, and she loves you so much again. You should accept my gratitude on her behalf. Not to mention, I have to rush back to take the baby.”

He waved his hand and left quickly.

Zhou Chengkang pulled the horse back to the backyard, and when he came out, only his back was seen and the burden in Li Qinghe’s hand was seen. She was still holding the child and hurriedly reached out and took it, “What is he doing?”

She was a little helpless, “She said she was thanking my mother, but she insisted on giving it to me.”

The baggage was taken into the house and opened. There were a dozen eggs inside. The two of Zhou Laosan did not feed the chickens. They heard Zhou’s mother say that his daughter would eat one egg every day. These should be hers.

Zhou Chengkang looked cold, “He is willing to give it, so just keep it.”

He said so, Li Qinghe took it by himself.

It has been raining recently, Li Qinghe is going to take the children again, Zhou Chengkang is cooking, and he has to wash diapers when he is free, just as he thought, the two have no time to go up the mountain at all. Just a few days after Xu’s departure, the outside is up and down. After snow, it snows almost every year in this village, but it is not too big, but this year’s snow is extremely big and white, almost closed.

It’s snowing outside and nothing can be done at all.

The two guarded a child, and they cooked some food for themselves all day long. They felt quite comfortable. After ten days, no one walked outside until the snow melted.

Zhou Chengkang went to the butcher to kill the pigs, but she killed them here, and the Yang family next door also killed them.

Moreover, the butcher of the Yang family was found in the town. Zhou Chengkang didn’t know about it beforehand. Now it’s okay. Originally, a pig in the village could not be sold out. Now there are two. The Yang family heard the call of killing pigs here, and said Out of the news, his pork twelve articles.

In the twelfth lunar lunar month, it takes sixteen essays for serious fat and more than twelve essays for lean meat. Everyone who heard the news was embarrassed to go from Li Qinghe’s side, and deliberately went to the village entrance to the next door.

The pork here did not cut the price as they did. It was not that Li Qinghe didn’t want to compete with him, but that Zhou Chengkang fed the pork herself, and she didn’t want his hard work to become cheap.

The one from the Yang family was fed by the cook, so Father Yang could lower the price if he fluttered.

As a result, even if there are people from Tangcun brought by He’s family, as well as those brought by Li Fu and Li Kui, most of them are left.

Mother Zhou was a little worried, and found her in a low voice, “Why don’t it be cheaper than us?”

“No.” Li Qinghe didn’t care. “We’ll keep it for ourselves. Pickled with salt, it can be kept for half a year. Besides, I have to ask someone to grow the land next spring, so I won’t have to buy it.”

Mother Zhou also thought that the pork at Twelve-wen was too cheap. To be honest, she would have wanted to buy it if it wasn’t for it. Hearing her explanation like this, I felt it made sense, “Then you get the salt.”

Taking advantage of the crowds, Li Qinghe found the salt and asked Zhou’s mother and eldest mother Liu to help pickling them. They were busy. Father Yang came with his hands behind his back and entered the door with a smile on his face, “I’m sorry, we have to I didn’t discuss it either. It’s got together. Don’t think about it. It’s really a coincidence.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Zhou Chengkang was also not angry, but he didn’t smile either. He didn’t have a good impression of either the Yang family or the Xu family. “It just happened to be left for us to eat. Are you okay?”

The meaning of chasing away guests is obvious. Neither of them wants to approach the Yang family.

Father Yang didn’t seem to hear the dislike in his words, and he smiled and said, “That’s it. I originally planned to invite some close people to eat after the pig was killed, but the meat was robbed and there was nothing to eat. I heard about your family. There are fish, why don’t you catch some for me?”

“Fifty articles per catty.” Zhou Chengkang said calmly, “Moreover, I don’t want to take credit.”

Father Yang’s smile stiffened, and the price of the fish was not mentioned. The sentence after him was clearly a mockery of him.

In the beginning, after the Yang family bought the land next door, they looked for someone to level the foundation to build a house, and even clean up the wasteland. All were hired, but the person who hired did not pay the wages. At that time, it was stated that the annual settlement was 25 articles. One day’s wages, and the result of this year’s autumn harvest… The result is not to mention, the Yang family’s land was planted with barley as in the previous village, without sweet potatoes, it was the first year of the wasteland, basically equal to the confiscated harvest. But the villagers didn’t follow them. When it rained a few days ago, there was a disturbance. The man was holding a **** and a kitchen knife, and the woman kept crying and insisted on the Yang family to pay the wages. As a result, Father Yang found the village chief and changed it. I took the IOU and changed it to thirty-one a day, and the bill will be paid next fall.

Therefore, the Yang family owes at least ten taels of wages to the villagers to build a house and cultivate the land together.

Let alone whether the Yang family had any money, he just sold a pig. It is impossible to have no money. As a result, he still said so, obviously intentionally. Father Yang’s smile was a little uncontrollable, “Will it be too expensive?”

Zhou Chengkang disapproved, moved the marinated meat to the house, and said, “Master Yang may not know. I went to the county to sell fish. Everyone would grab forty texts. If I didn’t send it, I couldn’t buy it at this price. In Luoyue Town, apart from my pond, no fish can be found…”

This is really not a lie. Since the summer drought, there has been no fish for sale in the town. Even if you want to use it in the restaurant in the town, you have to go here to get it. I still remember that Li Qinghe used to find it by himself. Many people are willing to decide, and for this, Zhou Chengkang has to send it by himself.

After listening to him chattering for a long time, Father Yang himself is a businessman himself, he understands the truth that things are precious, and he also found out that Zhou Chengkang didn’t like him at all, so he interrupted him, “That help me Grab one.”

Zhou Chengkang went to the pond to fish for fish. Father Yang squatted beside him and couldn’t help but said, “If you are cheaper and my daughter gets married in the spring, I will buy one for each table. How about you?”

“I’ll talk at that time.” Zhou Chengkang waved his hand. “Maybe the price of fish was only a few cents per catty at that time.”

A fish of five catties, Zhou Chengkang deliberately picked a large one, two hundred and fifty writings, and a lot of copper plates. He held the shiny copper plates, and finally showed a smile, sent Father Yang away, and returned. “Come often!”

Father Yang hurriedly left without returning the fish head.

After the two of them broke off over there, the meat on this side was almost the same. Li Qinghe asked them to cook in the kitchen. He carried the child back to the room to change diapers. Zhou Chengkang took the copper plate and put it in the door. He smiled and said, “Next year, Yang The family is about to have a happy event.”

He smiled a little sarcastically, “Many people in the last life said that it was too difficult for them to get together and was delayed by you. Now you have married me early, and there is no one else among them, but they got married later than… …”

He snorted, Li Qinghe heard the words, looked outside the house, and found that everyone was here in the kitchen, and glared at her, “Don’t talk nonsense. Just take care of what others do and we will live our lives well.”

Indeed, no matter when, living your own life is the most important thing.

The food was ready, and two tables were set up. Zhou Chengkang also brought out the wine. A meal was eaten for an hour, and when it was getting late, the food was almost the same. Zhou mother and the others cleaned up the dishes and washed them and were about to go home. , I suddenly heard a noise from the Yang family next door.

It’s not the kind of noise of one or two people, listening to the news can catch up with the wages.
