Carrying ex-boyfriend to farm

Chapter 341

Xu Donglin and his gang left without a sound, and the busy home became deserted.Yun Xiaoxiao sat on the stove, becoming chatty in every possible way.

Every day is not cooking, it is free watering to grow fruit, free fertilizer to plant the land.There are also a lot of fruits, such as apples, oranges, and grapefruits, and a lot of rice and flour can be obtained from farming.

It's getting colder and colder, so I put on thick clothes.

Except that the stove was burning hot, the rest of the house was full of cold wind howling.When going to bed at night, you have to cover up with more quilts, otherwise you will be so cold that you will fight teeth.If the kitchen room was not too small, Yun Xiaoxiao would probably want to move here to sleep.

"Girl, the grapefruit has been peeled!" Yun Dashan put the peeled grapefruit into a bowl, and then put the peeled grapefruit peel on the table for disposal when he had time.

Grapefruit peel is a kind of blind medicine, even if it is small, it can be sold for money.Furthermore, it can also be used to make fruit tea, and it can also be used to make soup. There are many uses that cannot be wasted.

"Father, it's almost Chinese New Year?" Yun Xiaoxiao took the grapefruit and peeled off the skin, then ate the flesh with distinct grains inside. She hasn't eaten grapefruit for a long time, but now she suddenly eats it and it feels very delicious, full of water, and very low to quench her thirst .

"It's almost there, it's about thirty or forty days away." Yun Dashan also picked up the pomelo and ate it. Not to mention this fruit, it tastes better than those wild fruits.

There is no calendar in this house, and we don't know what year it is.

Yun Xiaoxiao handed the grapefruit to Bai Chi who was reading a book, and then continued to chat with Yun Dashan, "Father, shall we go to the county town to buy some new year's goods?"

The stove at home was burning hot, so Bai Chi and Yun Dashan were studying in the stove.Otherwise, the cold will be bad, and illness will not only cost money to buy medicine, but also delay study.

This pomelo tastes very cold, and it will lose your teeth if you eat it outside, but it is fine to eat it on the fire.It was just right for the body that was scorched to be hot to eat the cold grapefruit.

Bai Chi put down the book, rubbed his tired eyes, and started to eat the grapefruit. His drowsy head became more awake after eating the grapefruit.

This grapefruit is juicy yet sweet.

Although the grapefruit was delicious, Yun Dashan didn't want to eat more after eating one petal. He obviously wanted the two children to eat more. Then he poked the sweet potato in the stove with tongs, and said, "Sure, we're going to The county town bought some red paper to write couplets on and write blessings on, and when the time came to sell it to the villagers, they would definitely earn two copper coins back.”

Now Yun Dashan doesn't let go of any work to make money, after all, no matter how little money is, there is money, and a little can make a lot.And where the money is used in the future, there is nothing wrong with earning more.

The number of times I go to the county town in cold weather is getting less and less. After all, the clothes are thin and it is easy to die of cold outside. Yun Xiaoxiao said, "Then let's go to the county town and buy two sets of good pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Right. After all, it’s not long after the new year, and the imperial examination is about to take place, so we have to prepare in advance.”

"Listen to my daughter's arrangement." Yun Dashan didn't object, after all, the imperial examination can't save money.Especially the imperial examination, which is held every three years, if you miss it, you have to wait for three days.

Yun Xiaoxiao would rather spend more money to pass the exam immediately than let the two men in the family wait for three years.After all, there are many benefits of being admitted, and the sooner you get the better, the sooner you will benefit.

Since Yun Xiaoxiao couldn't take the imperial examination, she still didn't know much about the imperial examination, so she asked, "Bai Chi, do you need anything else for the imperial examination?"

Bai Chi, who was eating grapefruit, counted them one by one, "I don't think there is anything special needed. I have pens, inks, papers and inkstones. It's just that Tianhan must wear more clothes during the exam, and then eat..."

Almost all the things that should be prepared have been thought of, such as clothes have been prepared in advance, the only thing that needs to be prepared at that time is food.

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "Your exams should be in the county mansion. If you live in the village, it will definitely be too late for the exam. We should rent a room at the inn in the county."

Yun Dashan said, "It's an inn, there is no need to rent a house for a day or two."

Bai Chi echoed, "The inn, but it's best to book in advance, or wait until the time to make a reservation. There are many candidates in various places, so there must be no spare rooms."

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay then, let's go to the county seat and ask if it's possible to book a room in advance. If we can make a reservation, we'll make it first."

Yun Dashan took out all the roasted sweet potatoes, and placed them in front of Yun Xiaoxiao and Bai Chi, "It's just baked, be careful, eat it slowly."

"Good dad!" Yun Xiaoxiao and Bai Chi said in unison.

The next day, to go to the county seat, Yun Xiaoxiao, Yun Dashan, and Bai Chi got up early before dawn.It was too cold this day, and the quilts were all cold and not warm at all. Everyone was woken up by the freezing, otherwise they should have slept a little longer as usual.

It's too cold to ride an ox cart, so everyone walks to the county town, thinking that they will warm up while walking.As a result, when we reached the entrance of the village, we saw a bullock cart going to the county seat.

"Little girl, here, here!" Xu Meiying happened to be on the carriage, and when she saw Yun Xiaoxiao, she hurriedly greeted her in an extremely enthusiastic manner.

"Sister Yingzi, are you going to the county seat?" Yun Xiaoxiao rushed forward to say hello.

"Isn't it the New Year's Eve, take advantage of the good weather to buy some new year's goods and come back. Little girl, you should go to the county town too, and sit together." There happened to be three vacant seats on the carriage, so Xu Meiying hurriedly greeted them to come up .

Yun Xiaoxiao and the two men in the family looked at each other. It seemed that the idea of ​​going to the county town on foot was in vain. In the end, they had to take a bullock cart, but borrowed a bullock cart instead of spending money to ride in a bullock cart.

After all, they are all a village, so they can't be too independent.

"Okay." Yun Xiaoxiao got into the bullock cart directly, and sat beside Xu Meiying, so that the two of them could still talk on the road, and they didn't know how boring it was.

When you go out, you must have a man pay for it.

In this way, when going out, Yun Xiaoxiao specially gave Yun Dashan and Bai Chi some copper coins and broken silver.

Seeing this, Bai Chi hurriedly paid the fare.

After the three of them got into the car, it was also full, so the coachman stopped waiting for others and began to drive the ox cart slowly towards the direction of the county.

It's just that there are no boards around the bullock cart, the cold wind howls, and the shivering and snot flow out of the cold.The women hurriedly wrapped their necks and heads with cloth, and the men just shrank their necks and endured.

Xu Meiying asked Yun Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, you haven't gone out for a long time, right?"

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes."

In this cold weather, there is no need to go to the fields to work. The wild vegetables on the mountain are brought to him every day, and the weather is too cold, so Yun Xiaoxiao has become a little lazy these days.

Everyone in the village is like this. They don’t go out when they have nothing to do in cold weather. They go up the mountain in the morning to collect firewood and look for wild vegetables to take home to eat. If there is no well at home, they have to go out to fetch water.

Xu Meiying asked, "What do you do at home every day?"

Yun Xiaoxiao shrank her neck and replied, "It's too cold today, and I spend every day warming up in the kitchen. If it's not that the New Year is coming soon, I have to go to the county to buy new year's goods, otherwise I really don't want to go to the county with the cold wind. "

Cotton has not been popularized yet, and everyone wears thin clothes.

Yun Xiaoxiao was wrapped in three layers and three layers outside, and still felt cold, especially when it was blown for a long time, his head felt particularly cold and uncomfortable.

Now that the farming is not busy, most of them are either staying under the covers or warming up at home. Xu Meiying said, "It's so boring to warm up at home. You can come to my house to play with me and warm up."

Yun Dashan and Bai Chi both had to study for the imperial examination, and it was inconvenient for Yun Xiaoxiao to disturb her. Most of the time, she would warm herself up by the fire alone. When Xu Meiying invited her to come over to play, she immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll go to warm up with you when the time comes."

Seeing that Yun Xiaoxiao was coming, Xu Meiying hurried over and said in a low voice, "That's a good relationship. At that time, we sisters will discuss the issues between men and women together."

Speaking of this, the two laughed in unison.

Everyone lives in the village, and the only topics they can talk about are men, women, parents-in-law and children, or whether the parents and the family are short-lived. Yun Xiaoxiao is also very interested in this, so he suggested, "The two of us can't talk well enough, and we will meet again later. Other daughters-in-law, I will bring some snacks, and we will gossip while eating."

Xu Meiying nodded and thought the idea was good, "It's not busy farming, and everyone doesn't have much work. No problem, I'll organize the village wives to gossip together."

There are few recreational activities in the village, so naturally gossip women love it.

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "Then I'll trouble Sister Yingzi to arrange it."

Xu Meiying said, "What's trouble? If you don't mention this matter, I will arrange it like this. By the way, what happened to the officers and soldiers who went to your house last time? There have been rumors in the village that your family offended the nobles, and now I can't wait to go around You go home."

Yun Xiaoxiao explained, "Don't listen to their nonsense, those officers and soldiers just passed by and stayed, and they left long ago."

Xu Meiying nodded, "Let me just say, if you really offended the nobleman, something would have happened long ago. It is impossible for your family to be so peaceful. As a result, those who killed thousands of knives didn't believe it, and there is something wrong with their brains."

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled, but didn't say much.

Xu Meiying continued, "It's just that we are taking this opportunity to recruit a wife from the village. Please explain the matter clearly, lest those people go out and talk nonsense and ruin your family's reputation."

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay, no problem."

The women in the village are the main force of gossip, as long as they are taken back, the rumors will follow Yun Xiaoxiao's thoughts.As for how to recover, just bring melon seeds, potato chips, roasted sweet potatoes, etc. for everyone to eat.

What's this called? It's short-handed and short-mouthed to eat people.

If you take and eat other people's things, you naturally have to do things for others, otherwise you will feel bad about your conscience, and even in the future, if such a good thing happens, it will not be your turn.

Everyone is not a fool, and it is not clear what is good or bad.

Coupled with the slack season, the family has a large population and limited food, so they lie down every day and do not work, so two meals a day are replaced by one meal.If someone gives them free food, there is no reason not to eat it.

This matter is settled.

Xu Meiying and Yun Xiaoxiao made a decision on the spot, they will gather everyone to play together tomorrow, and explain some things clearly earlier, so as not to spread more outrageously.

Time passed quickly as someone chatted with me.

Unknowingly, the bullock cart had already reached the gate of the county seat, so everyone jumped out of the bullock cart one after another.After sitting for a long time, my legs were so cold that I couldn't feel it. As a result, everyone limped when they walked.

Xu Meiying was going to the market to sell things, so Yun Xiaoxiao parted ways with Qi at the gate of the city.

"Father, let's go eat something first?" Since it was agreed not to fire up and come to the county to eat today, the three of them are now hungry and have not had breakfast.

"What would my daughter like to eat?" Yun Dashan asked.

"Sister Yingzi just said that there is a delicious wonton in the county, how about we go and eat?" Yun Xiaoxiao actually has a lot of things to eat, but she has to come to each family.

"Okay." Yun Dashan did not refuse.

It was a cold day, and my body was warm after eating the warm wontons.

So the three of them came to the alley to find a stall selling wontons and ordered three bowls of wontons.Unexpectedly, the wonton seller was actually an old woman, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, talking and smiling.

When the hot wontons were served in front of Yun Xiaoxiao, the mouth water almost flowed out. The wontons in clear soup were sprinkled with chopped green onions, which made people appetite, coupled with the tempting aroma, it could be described as delicious. all available.

Unable to sit still any longer, Yun Xiaoxiao reached out to pick up the chopsticks in the bucket and began to eat.When the small wontons are in the mouth, the rich meat aroma is matched with the seasoning, which is simply delicious in the world.

Many delicacies in ancient times are such humble stalls.

Maybe he was hungry, maybe the wontons were too delicious, Yun Xiaoxiao just finished it in two or three bites, even drank the soup cleanly, this bowl warmed up his cold body a lot.

The three looked at each other and shouted at the same time, "Boss, three more bowls!"

This wonton is so delicious, eat more today, maybe when you can eat it in the future.

Seeing that the guests liked to eat the wontons she made, the old lady was also very happy, and hurriedly responded, "Okay, cook them right away."

Soon, three bowls of hot wontons were served.

Treat delicious food with an attitude, eat it clean and never waste it.

The three of them didn't even have time to talk, and they worked hard.

When I got the bill, I found that the price was very cheap. The wontons were only three copper coins per bowl, and the six bowls were worth eighteen copper coins, which was really cheap.

This bowl of wontons has meat, flour, lard, and green onions. All these costs are not cheap.It can only be said that this old lady has a good heart and is not a profiteer.

After eating a full stomach, the body is warm, and the cold wind blows on the road without feeling so cold.

Although it was cold today, the county town was still very lively.Perhaps because of the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of window decorations selling couplets and blessings on the roadside, and there are even various dry goods to buy.

After all, winter is coming, and all kinds of prices are rising crazily. Everyone will buy some dry goods that can be stored for a long time at home, so that they can eat without going out in winter.

When it comes to Chinese New Year, these melon seeds are the most popular.After all, if you go to other people's homes, this thing can just be used to greet guests, and the price is cheap and not expensive. Everyone will buy some and put them away during the Chinese New Year. When someone comes, they will grab a handful and eat together.

Of course, the more people there are, the more people are performing acrobatics. There are all kinds of boulders in the chest, and it can be said to be very lively.
