pastoral life

Ye Erba took it to Yunlaifang to try and tasted it, and the response was very good, so it successfully replaced the previous cold cake and cold shrimp and became the new round of best-selling special snacks in Yunlaifang. I sell this in winter, so I came up with the idea of ​​corn cakes, but now the corn is not easy to process after it has just been harvested, so I first taught Aunt Jiang and Li Sanniang how to make Yeer cakes. One, they are responsible for leading the novices, and they have free hands to buy raw materials.

The raw materials of Ye'erba are just the same. The glutinous rice and white sugar were collected before, and they were sold at the usual prices. The peanuts, sesame seeds, and pickles were also collected at the same prices as those sold in the city. He traveled a long way to the city to sell, so the villagers were more than willing to sell things to the Wang family, even if they had a little less money.The raw materials are collected in the same way, and then made into food through small workshops and transported to the city and three neighboring counties, and finally turned into real money and returned to the hands of Mingzhu and the villagers. The Wang family's helpers who sell things are also living a good life. Every household in Shandang is not polite to the Wang family for a while. Even Wang Dahe, who is as honest as Wang Dahe, is no longer bullied by his peers, and instead lives more confidently with his head held high. stand up.

The pockets are getting bigger and bigger, and the desire to buy the barren slope is getting stronger and stronger. He went to the barren slope to look at it a few times before it got cold. The color of the fruit is green and it looks ugly, but after picking a few and cutting them up, it reveals a strong lemon fragrance. I didn't dare to ask people to know about the land before I got it, and I didn't dare to sell it. As long as the members of the Wang family soaked water to drink in private, the sweet and sour taste is the child's favorite, and I always want to take it out. To show off, until Mingzhu repeatedly emphasized not to let others know.

"I asked my clan brother to help me find out. That barren slope is still owned by Zhao Juren. I haven't taken care of it in the past few years, and I want to sell it to buy land. It's just that the place is bigger and it won't be cheaper."

Mingzhu asked how much it was with a bitter face, Wang Mingchuan stretched out his fingers and counted, how obvious was the change in Mingzhu's face that instantly became white and snowy.

In fact, they didn't ask for much. The place is so big and it's worth the price. The key is that Mingzhu felt a little guilty about the idea of ​​lemons on the ground, so she never thought about lowering the price.

"The money in our hands is still more than half short. Hey, I thought I was already rich, but why do I still worry about money every day?"

Seeing Mingzhu's appearance, Wang Mingchuan couldn't laugh or cry. Their family has lived a better life than many other families in the village. It's just because there is an extra Xue Mingzhu in the family. How lucky he was to be able to marry her back home. To a certain extent, he is still grateful to Xue Datong and the Zhao family. Regardless of the original Xue Jiaojiao, anyway, now he has decided that Xue Mingzhu can't be replaced by anyone else.

"It's good to earn money slowly. Now that money is tight and you just need to save it, we have already bought land and real estate in half a year. Why are you still crying poor?"

Wang Mingchuan wrapped Mingzhu into his arms and coaxed him. In the past half a year, because of Mingzhu's intention to adjust his height, he has grown wildly. He was already half a head taller than Mingzhu, and now he has the stature of an adult man. The relationship with Mr. Zong who works in the field is much stronger than that of his peers. When there is no one in private, Mingzhu always likes to poke his bulging muscles, and bites a few bites with envy and hatred.

"Forget it, I'm greedy. Let the barren slope go first. We'll all have time tomorrow to go shopping in the city as a family. Now that life is easier, I have to buy some good things for you. Let's get ready for the house." I haven’t let a few children see it, and I’m going to live in it this winter, so I should buy some furniture.”

"I listen to you, so I should rest earlier, come, and serve you to bed for my husband."

"...Where is your hand touching?"

**

The next day, when Mingzhu was dug out from the quilt by Wang Mingchuan, his hands were still sore and numb. This guy usually looks honest, but when there are only two people, he is always thinking about it. Fortunately, no one taught him how to behave as a husband and wife. , Mingzhu decided to let him continue ignoring, um, huh, that's it.

Hearing that she was going to the city, Xiaotan specially turned out her flowered clothes and put them on. Mingzhu also tied flower headbands for the two little sisters, and promised to go to the city today to buy them clothes and headgears. The two were so happy. The child clamored to rush to the city before it was fully dawn.

"After eating all the food in the bowl, we are not allowed to go to the table. Today, we have to go shopping. We have to go to the new house to see it. We will have strength when we are full. Don't tell me that you are tired. No one is allowed to let me go." Did you hear me!"

"I heard!"

Wang Mingchuan poured another bowl of porridge for Mingzhu, smiled and watched him teach a group of children, Wang Dahe took the bucket to scoop pig food into the pot to feed the pigs after eating earlier, these two pigs have been raised for more than half a year and now they have grown up Fat, fat and strong, he just waits to be slaughtered and divided before the Chinese New Year. Seeing the pigs he raises grow stronger and stronger, Dahe is very happy. The pigpen is still spacious. In the coming year, he can hold two more piglets. He is one year older. With more strength, you can carry an extra bucket of pig food and cut a few more bundles of pig grass every day!

Fang Tiezhu led a group of people to drive an ox cart to pick up sour candy and Yeerba outside Wang's house. Mingzhu and the others helped to load the things into the car, and then hitch a ride to the city. Long talk is not short, Mingzhu sat in Fang Tiezhu's bullock cart with Xiaotan in his arms and began to chat with him. It was rare to hear Fang Tiezhu mention their family while chatting.

"I'm afraid your sister-in-law will not be able to come to work in the future."

"Why, but something happened at home?"

Mingzhu was surprised after hearing this, but Fang Tiezhu smiled wryly:

"It's a little bit, your sister-in-law...is inconvenient."

In this way, Zhu understands it, but it's just a question of whether it's good or bad. Li Sanniang's body is really going to be forced to give birth, but I don't know if she can survive it. There was only a trace of joy on his father's face, and the rest was full of worry.

"You should have heard about my family. I was the one who felt sorry for your sister-in-law, but I can't do anything about being a father and mother on the one hand and a daughter-in-law on the other."

Fang Tiezhu sighed, the three generations of their family were single, and if they came to him and lost the incense, they would feel sorry for their ancestors, so when Sanniang insisted on having another one, he didn't object any more. After all, he still... wants to have a son .

"Sister-in-law has to take good care of her. If there is anything missing in the house, just tell me and Mingchuan, and you don't have to be polite to me. The most important thing now is to keep the person. Everything else is empty. Don't worry about it because of it." Sorry to delay the business."

Seeing that Mingzhu insisted on Fang Tiezhu, he didn't refuse any more. Instead, he said that he wanted to go to the medical clinic in the city to see which doctor was better than this. Fang Tiezhu was anxious and couldn't find a suitable person to confide in. Seeing the opportunity, they chatted with Mingzhu for a long time, until they went to the city and put Mingzhu and the others down.

"The sister-in-law of the Fang family will not be able to come to our house to work in the future, but she can raise the monthly money of the three people who hired the earliest to help Mrs. Jiang lead the newcomers to supervise the work together. I heard from the shopkeeper Zhu that she can go to other counties more. Expand more, if you want to come to our workshop, you have to recruit more people."

"The sister-in-law of the Fang family is pregnant?"

"Isn't it? It's been a month. This March is the time of death. She is in a difficult situation. How can I be careless? Now I have to take Brother Fang home to recuperate. If there is anyone who can help in the future, I will help her." Just hold your hand, the Fang family has been convenient for us in the past six months."

The kindness of a drop of water should be reciprocated by the spring, and the Fang family extended a helping hand when the Wang family was in despair. After some discussion, I would like to go to the city and invite an experienced woman to live in Fang's house. Li Sanniang's body needs to be recuperated as soon as possible, otherwise the baby will not survive, not to mention that even the adults are afraid of suffering. Now that she is pregnant with that daily diet You can't be sloppy, you need to find a safe person to serve you all the time.

After Mingzhu and the others entered the city, the first stop was to find Aunt Li's family, and gave them some sour candy and Ye'erba. They talked with the old couple for a while. Auntie said that Li Sanniang should help to pay attention to it. After all, Auntie Li has lived in the city for so many years, she has more connections than them. Coincidentally, she really asked something just by mentioning it.

"Hey, don't tell me, Mrs. Zhao next door to my house is perfect. The big family needs her to take care of childbirth. She is a veteran in this line of work."

"That's just right, please tell me, Ma'am, Fang's sister-in-law helped us a lot when our family was down and down, but now we don't feel at ease when something happens to her."

"It's up to me. That's my old sister. Just wait. I'll write back to you tomorrow."

After the matter of Wen Po was settled, Mingzhu and the others felt relieved and went shopping with peace of mind. With their pockets puffed up, they could go anywhere confidently. Everyone, big and small, changed into new clothes, not to mention buying a few winter clothes The thick jackets were packed tightly with colorful fabrics, but after this change, the whole family, usually covered by coarse linen clothes, felt proud.The Wang family was born very well, the two little girls were full of red lips and white teeth, everyone liked it when they saw it, Xiaohu, although he was out of character, was also very cute, even Dahe, who was the most inconspicuous among the three brothers, was born Zhou Zheng He is handsome, and the excellent tutor of the Wang family makes him steady and stable at a young age, which makes people happy.

As for Wang Mingchuan...

Mingzhu doesn't look at it, hum, anyway, no matter how big the difference in appearance between the two is, this person is his and hasn't run away!

After changing their outfits, such a family is naturally conspicuous on the road, especially Wang Mingchuan, who has a tall and straight figure and a handsome face. The elegant temperament of a scholar is matched with his tall and strong figure, so he can stop there casually. Passers-by would unknowingly focus their attention on him, especially young women.

Pearl gas knot.

Well, even if he changed into good clothes and had such a face to look at, it would be a waste of things. Hmph, isn't it great to be good-looking, he was not bad-looking in his previous life!

Mingzhu had a dark face, but Wang Mingchuan was in a good mood with a smile on his face. He held Mingzhu's hand and refused to let go along the way regardless of the surprised and regretful eyes of others, as proud as a fool.

If you get jealous, it means...

Wang Mingchuan was in an extremely good mood, feeling that the passers-by on the road were pleasing to their eyes, and he didn't even refuse to pile up all kinds of things in his hands like a pearl, on the contrary, the more he carried, the happier he was.

At noon, a few people found a restaurant and ordered some uneatable dishes, so that they were extravagant. In the afternoon, they took the spoils and went to the house they bought.

"Three months have passed and this baby is settled down, so why don't I go to the temple!"

Xue Jiaojiao lost her temper in the room, Lu Liu and Mother He stayed aside and did not dare to persuade her, who would dare to persuade her, she has a little ancestor in her belly, what if she is not allowed to feel comfortable and make trouble? manage.

"Why can't you stop and stop, thinking about what to do outside all day long."

After Xue Mingyu was called by the people below, he dismissed all the people in the room, but when he was the only two left, he changed his face and looked at Xue Jiaojiao with a bit of sarcasm and said:

"You are already married to someone else, now you should serve your husband by the bedside and serve soup and medicine. Why are you still worrying so much?"

"No matter how much you serve me, that tuberculosis ghost won't live long, so why bother me? Hmph, you're not a good thing. For the sake of the glory and wealth, even your own sister will be thrown to others without blinking. Xue Mingyu, aren't you? people!"

"I'm not human?"

Xue Mingyu wasn't annoyed either, he just replied as if he had heard some joke:

"Jiaojiao, you are my own sister. I'm not human, so what should you be? Yes, I forced you to conceive this child, but if you really hate me, you can go to the old man and tell him to do it." Me, if you can find something to do, you can also want me to be punished, why don't you do something that kills two birds with one stone?"

Xue Mingyu shook his fan, swayed to the door and said,

"Let me advise you, since you don't want to part with the glory and wealth, don't pretend to be so chaste. If you really feel uneasy, you should end it yourself as early as when I bring someone in to work with you, instead of harboring the flesh and blood of others But she insists on holding on to the position of young mistress of the Wang family, she wants to be a bitch and set up an archway, Jiaojiao, even though I, Xue Mingyu, am not a thing, you are not much better."

Xue Jiaojiao was so angry that she was trembling all over, but she couldn't refute it when Xue Mingyu told the truth. In the end, she had no choice but to smash things fiercely until she smashed all the decorations in the room to pieces before she was reconciled.

Xue Mingyu didn't care about her, he just pushed the door to leave, but before he left, he stopped and warned Xue Jiaojiao:

"Since you want this glory and wealth, don't be confused. If you feel uneasy in your heart, what's the use of praying to God and worshiping Buddha? It's not worth serving the sick man to win a good name. You are naturally happy to treat him like an old man. You have a son next to you Father-in-law is waiting to see you again, even if you become a widow in the future, you will not worry about a bad life."

As he said that, he left without looking back, leaving behind a mess and a woman who looked like a madman but whose eyes changed from crazy to calm to transparent.

That's right, what's the use of praying to God and praying to Buddha for peace of mind when things have come to this point, even if I complain to my father again, it's just to get my elder brother to be beaten again, since my father has come to value her elder brother more, she's just a bargaining chip, where? You can really make a big deal out of her.Now that she has a child, a status, and money, isn't that the best way out when she is a girl? She can wear beautiful clothes and expensive jewelry, eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and go out with a lot of them. The servants follow, isn't this the dream day.

Xue Jiaojiao straightened her clothes, with a gorgeous smile on the corner of her mouth.

It was hers, and there was no reason to let go of it once she got it. Since she was not willing to let it go and snatch it back after she was single, Wang Juren was old and her husband was seriously ill. If you want to leave, there are no elders of the clan to rob property right now, so they will have the final say in the Wang family when the time comes.

"Green Liu, wait for me to freshen up, Mother He, bring the young master's soup and medicine to warm up, and I will personally deliver it later."
