Madam, She Has a Tender Heart
Chapter 119 Foreigners
Autumn grain is put into the warehouse, and farmers have a little more smile on their faces. There are more people on the streets of Fengting Town. People in twos and threes are strolling leisurely. Many people visit the small restaurants and taverns in the morning and evening.
After Zhou Dajiang came back, everything became dark. Occasionally, I would go to the countryside with Su's father and Su Dahu to collect fruits, vegetables and poultry. When I was not busy, I would stay in the backyard.
Su Qingyu didn't pay attention at first. The front store was not busy, and everyone was helping with the work in the backyard. I saw him working with Hong Xiu several times and didn't mind. But later, when she saw him secretly stuffing things into Hongxiu twice, Su Qingyu began to pay attention.
Ever since Hongxiu came to help Su Qingyu's shop, she rarely took on outside sewing work. Even her eight-year-old brother Hongshan Su Qingnao was given small jobs to do, and her mother-in-law and grandson were all busy working in Su Qingnao's shop.
At first, Su Qingnao saw that Hong Xiu was very agile and a nice person, so she planned to get along with Su Dahu, but she didn't expect Su Dahu to be unwilling. Su Qingyu felt guilty all the time and thought about helping her arrange a marriage. Aunt Zhou, Granny Zhou and her family helped her a lot.
Just this big ginger and red sleeves? Are these two people getting a little close?
Su Qingyu had this matter in her mind, so she quietly paid attention to it.
Unexpectedly, she actually got the clue. When did these two get along? I hurriedly found Su Qingliu, Granny Zhou and others to ask.
Unexpectedly, everyone had already seen it, and only Su Qingyu realized it later.
Granny Zhou also came to Su Qingyao: "I thought you knew.
I know? Everyone knows about it, but she doesn't?
When Granny Zhou saw her look like that, she knew she hadn't noticed.
He smiled and said: "Da Jiang, he is a good young man. Ever since I came to work in your shop, he has been right under my nose. I can see how he behaves. I always thought Dahu was good, but I didn't expect him." He has no connection with my family. This big ginger is not bad. He is honest and sensible. When he first came to this store, he was embarrassed when the women made fun of him, but now he can stand alone. "
Mother-in-law Zhou seemed to be very satisfied with Zhou Dajiang, so she allowed her only granddaughter to associate with Zhou Dajiang. She kept silent for these days, presumably to test Dajiang's behavior.
But, how did these two fall in love? It’s not like we’ve known each other for a day or two, so how did we get to know each other?
Su Qingliu explained her doubts: "Probably after the list of dead was released. Brother Da Jiang is gone, and Hongxiu's father is gone too. The two of them would hide in the backyard and cry, and then comfort each other. Now they have come together. Get up. It's fate, we all know it. Our aunt and uncle are the most honest people. Grandma Zhou and her family have been close to us for more than a year. We also know what kind of person they are. "Last time, my aunt asked us to help find a match for Dajiang. No, we didn't even need to help him look at it, he just took a liking to it himself."
Su Qingnao thought about it carefully and felt that it would be good for the two families to form one family.
Hong Xiu and Da Jiang are the same age, both have the surname Zhou, and are both sixteen years old this year. In this era, it is indeed possible to talk about marriage. Both of them have simple families. Mother-in-law Zhou and Aunt Zhou have lost the mainstay of their family. The only male, Hong Shi, is only eight years old.
At my aunt's house, my uncle's leg was broken before, but it has been cured now and does not affect his walking. Su Qingyu has paid back more than half of the money he borrowed before. The big boy is gone, but there is still a big ginger. It’s just that the eldest cousin left a five-year-old nephew Zhou Jinhai for him... I am afraid that he will become Da Jiang’s responsibility.
But my aunt and uncle are still young and strong, so it shouldn't be difficult for them to live to have a family and start a business.
Ever since Su Qingyao saw through the affair between the two of them, the two of them simply stopped hiding things and became more open-minded.
Soon my aunt and uncle's family came to town.
Discuss their marriage with Granny Zhou and her family.
The situation is not good now, and there are rumors that there will be another conscription, and the people in the town are panicked. Children who have reached marriageable age no longer need to be delayed, and they can marry as soon as possible if a suitable person comes. Su Siquan has already said that he will be married a year ago.
Soon the two families agreed on the marriage, and planned to get married before the year.
Both families are simple people who know their roots well. They have no requirements for dowry or bride price, they just want their children to live well. My aunt and uncle are very satisfied with their mother-in-law, Aunt Zhou. Mother-in-law and aunt Zhou are also very satisfied with my aunt's family, who are generally open-minded. This mother-in-law is not someone who would bully her daughter-in-law at all.
The two families lived happily as if they were one family.
Aunt Zhou also invited her aunt's family, Su Qingyu and others to her home and cooked a lot of her specialty dishes for everyone to eat. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
After Zhou Dajiang's marriage was settled, Su Qingyu discovered that the child seemed to have transformed overnight. The childish look on his face has gone, and he has taken on the responsibility of a man, like the backbone of the family.
Now both families are his responsibility. As the backbone of both families, he has grown a lot overnight.
Su Qingyu was very pleased and arranged many things for him to experience.
The autumn wind is blowing, and the mood of autumn is getting stronger. Su Qingyao gradually discovered that there were some new faces on the street.
As the saying goes, customs are different within ten miles, customs are different within a hundred miles, and people from different regions will always have something different from the local people if you look closely. Su Qingnao has been in Fengting Town for more than a year and is very familiar with it. People in and around Fengting Town can always see some clues.
It seemed like there were many outsiders on the street overnight.
Not to mention this, Su Qingyu found that the price of salt had risen again, from the initial 20 fen to 100 fen. Later, she stocked up a lot. It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Bozu was getting married, and she was busy with the autumn harvest, so she stopped paying attention to the price of salt. Unexpectedly, it will almost reach 160 yuan now!
Food prices have also risen. Hulled rice costs five cents per catty, but now it sells for ten cents. Even the chaff has risen.
This is how long the autumn harvest is.
Fengting Town is not short of food. This year's autumn harvest, most people paid the autumn tax, but not much was sold. Seeing that the price of grain had risen before, everyone was hoarding it but not selling it. Why is this price increase happening?
Su Qingyu was walking on the street and saw many new faces lining up in front of the grain shop to buy grain every day. There was also a long queue at the door of the salt shop. There were long boards with salt prices written on them. The prices were different every day. She heard people sitting on the ground and wailing every day when she passed by.
Business is booming on the street, and any vacant house, even a woodshed, is rented out at a high price.
Su Qingyao heard that the haunted house not far from the town had not been sold or rented for several years, and now someone was snatching it away at a high price.
Li Yaren, who rented a shop to Su Qingyu before, came to ask Su Qingyu if he wanted to rent out the empty room in the shop to earn more rent.
Was rejected by Su Qingyu.
But I took Li Yaren to understand some situations. Only then did I know that Fengting Town has been flooded with many foreigners recently, all of whom brought their families with them. Most of this group of people came with their luggage and their families. They had property, could afford a house, rent a place to live, and had money to buy food.
Su Qingyao paid attention. However, just a few days after asking for information from the Li Ya people, the second group of foreigners came again.
The people who came this time were much more miserable than the previous batch. The arrival of this group of people also broke the peace in the town.
