Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 617 Chapter 610 Six: Going to see each other
When Song Qiu arrived at Zhuangzi, all the villagers who brought chili peppers for sale today had almost arrived and were busy.

She thought that Li Yang was in a hurry, and if he could go back, the whole family would rush back to the village, so she didn't delay, helped to settle the accounts and finished collecting the chili peppers, and watched everyone get to work again.

After finishing the chopped peppers that I had chopped up all morning, and having lunch, I took the carriage back to Songshan Village regardless of how the sun was still growing.

When passing the inn, the meal was not over yet, there were still two tables of guests eating in the inn, and the tea shed outside was full, and the guests were resting, eating and drinking.

There are too many people and there is no fuss, mainly except for Tao Dongcheng who finds time to help, Mian Mian and Fangzi are also doing work in the tea shed.

After working for a few days, I am familiar with all the work, such as mixing jelly and scooping cold shrimp is no problem.

Seeing that Yuan Erping was here to help, Song Qiu couldn't help being surprised, "Cousin Erping, why are you here so busy?"

After the corn sticks are broken, why not thresh them and dry them in the sun?

The brothers and sisters-in-law of Yuan Cheng and Yuan Hua are all working. Yuan Shuanzi and Daping Erping are the main laborers to harvest the corn at home. There are not many corns planted. They are busy with only three acres of land, and the remaining seven acres They are all paddy fields, and when the time comes to harvest millet, the two Yuan Cheng brothers must ask for leave to go back to harvest.

When Yuan Erping saw Song Qiuwen, he wanted to say something, but he felt a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth, but couldn't say what happened.

Wiping her hands on her apron, Mrs. Chen grinned and said to Song Qiu, "I was thinking about asking Zhuangzi and Aqiu to take a leave of absence later on. Just in time, you will be back soon! Then we don't have to kidnap Zhuangzi." Go, I told you right here."

"Aqiu, I'm going to ask for early leave today, and I'll be off work right now, do you think it's okay? I'll just ask you, your second cousin is still working, don't leave!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qiu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened at home?"

At noon, Yuan Erping ran over suddenly, and Mrs. Chen said she wanted to ask for leave, but she couldn't do it without thinking too much.

Mrs. Chen narrowed her eyes with a smile, leaning towards Song Qiu and said, "Here, it's about your cousin Erping!"

"My niece and daughter-in-law told Erping about a good girl from the Mao family village behind my natal Xiban village. This girl is a capable person. Many people came to tell me about it. Erping's cousin also went for a walk. It's been a long time, and I've got some relatives, so I'm relieved and willing to see Erping!"

She was also embarrassed when she said that, "I'm so anxious, I'm afraid that something will happen after the night, no, Erping came over and reported to me that his cousin-in-law had already spoken back, I couldn't help it, I thought this would be Go to Mao's village and have a look!"

Yuan Erping also turned sixteen last month, so he can be called a daughter-in-law. Now it seems that Yuan Daping will be his turn when he gets married in autumn, which is just right.

Yuan Hua and Chen's couple have only such a son, so naturally they care about everything.

Marriage is always a big deal. Song Qiu understood Chen's urgency, and immediately waved his hands and said, "Okay, the second cousin, you can get off work now. There is cotton in the tea shed and they will help. It will be no problem for the whole afternoon." .”

Mrs. Chen was originally prepared to leave when she was busy for a while, but now that she got Song Qiu's words, she went back and whispered to Yuan Hua about the order of the guests, so that he could see that the money was collected so that he would not make a mistake, so he took off the apron , ready to go.

Of course, I also took two steamed buns to cushion my stomach. The inn is not finished at the moment, and everyone has not yet arrived for lunch.

Yuan Erping came here after lunch, so she only took two steamed buns to eat by herself.

Song Qiu watched, and asked Mian Mian to cut a piece of iced watermelon for Yuan Erping to eat.

"Second Cousin, how are you going?" Xisaka Village is not close, so it's in the sun again now.

Mrs. Chen replied: "I'll go with Erping, the two of you don't delay, hurry up, we will be there in more than an hour, if we can't come back at night, we will stay at my mother's house, and we may have to ask for a morning leave tomorrow." , I’ll tell you, Ah Qiu first.”

Song Qiu has never been to Xiban Village. Xiban Village is a big village, and it is adjacent to several villages. It is also a good time to harvest red peppers. After thinking about it, he said: "Cousin, wait a minute, take a carriage. ,hurry up."

After all, ask Du Chuanfu to drive the carriage back to the village to see if Li Yang and the others have returned. If they don't come back now, they probably won't come back today. Even if they do, it will probably be in the evening. Hurry up, evening Also rushed back.

Du Chuanfu went and returned quickly, but Li Yang's family really didn't come back.

At that moment, Song Qiu asked Du Chuanfu to drive the inn's mule cart, and she drove the carriage, pulling Mrs. Chen and Yuan Erping to Xiban Village.

When passing by Yanghuai Village, he even turned in and picked up the dim sum that Mrs. Chen had prepared for this matter, and asked Taozheng to buy it from the dim sum shop when he was going to town.

Xiban Village is still about [-] miles away from Yanghuai Village. It takes more than half an hour to drive from Songshan Inn without stopping.

When we arrived at Xiban Village, it was already the end of the day.

First went to Mrs. Chen's natal home, Mrs. Mrs. Chen's eldest nephew and daughter-in-law, Ms. Zheng, had just arrived home and had lunch for a while. Seeing that my aunt came so soon after receiving the letter, she didn't react.

Immediately laughed: "I knew that you would come right away, I should have stayed for a while and waited for you."

Yuan Erping's grandmother said: "Your aunt has always been impatient, so don't rub the corn, and take your aunt and the others to Mao's village!"

After finishing speaking, I came back to my senses, "Oh, I'm in a hurry. I'm not tired or thirsty after a long journey. It's a hot day. Drink a bowl of sugar water to moisten your throat before leaving."

Speaking of impatient, isn't it just heredity.

Mrs. Chen was also funny. When her natal sister-in-law was going to mix the sugar water, she first walked up to Father Chen and talked about Song Qiu's red chili harvest.

Mrs. Chen said this when she returned to her natal family for New Year's greetings in the first month. They also planted two ridges of peppers this year. They are still busy rubbing corn, so they haven't had time to pick them and send them to Songshan Village.

"Aqiu drove the car, Dad, you go pick it first, and we will take it away when you come back later, so that you don't have to go all the way to deliver it."

"There are also people in the village, please go for a walk, brother, and let everyone know about it."

When Father Chen heard about this, he didn't care about rubbing the corn, and hurriedly asked his two sons and grandson to pick peppers. It would be better to take them away together, than to send them all the way by himself.

Busy and asked the eldest son to tell the families in the village.

Mrs. Chen didn't delay either. After drinking the sugar water, she was about to go to Mao's village. She didn't forget to ask Song Qiu if he would stay at Chen's house to collect peppers, or go with him.

Song Qiu came back to this side for the first time, everyone came here, so it's good to go and have a look, and now every family has to pick it up after getting the news, so they have to wait here for a long time.

So Du Chuanfu was left waiting here, and she followed to Mao's village.

The Mao family stockade is not far away, and the carriage cannot enter, and it takes less than [-] minutes to walk. Its back faces Xiban village and faces the mountains. All the people in the village have the same surname Mao, and they are of the same origin.

There are only about twenty families in the stockade, which is really not enough compared to a big village like Xiban Village.

The entire village relies on hunting for a living, and the surrounding area is overgrown with weeds, which is not suitable for farming at all. We can barely grow some corn every year, and the yield is not too high.

Therefore, the main source of livelihood of the family depends on the men going up to the mountains to hunt.
