Farm Widow: Pick up a husband to open up wasteland and farm

Chapter 9

She said calmly, "Everyone in the store knows that there is a famine, and it is not easy to have food. These cloths are also thrown into your hands. Why don't you use some food to fill the whole family?"

The middle-aged bald man stared at the two big frames in front of him and ate, and couldn't help weighing it up painfully, "Then give me both of these frames."

"No, I have to change some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar."Zhang Xiaolan refused

"It's simple. The dry goods store next door is also mine. As long as you give me these two frames, I'll replace it with you. Don't carry it around outside. There are refugees everywhere, and it's not safe to carry it out."

Zhang Xiaolan was shocked by what the middle-aged old man said, so she chose a shop at random, and replaced all the things she wanted to change.

"Well, uncle, you have to calculate enough for me, otherwise it won't be easy for me to come here."

"That's natural. Since the eldest sister can carry these two baskets of food to the town, it means that the eldest sister still has a lot of food to fill her stomach. If I am short of you, you will not come to me in the future. This changed"

Zhang Xiaolan heard his cheerfulness, and the worry in her heart faded away. After picking out some plain and dirt-resistant cloth and a few beds of cotton wool, she followed the middle-aged old man into the inner courtyard and made a detour to the next door. The grocery store picked up some salt, flour, soy sauce, etc., and bought a few bowls and jars, as well as several unknown seeds. Before leaving, the middle-aged bald head gave her a pack of peppers. She was delighted He took it, and followed Jing Yuan out of the wooden door just now.

Make an appointment with the middle-aged bald head, two months later, come back for a change of food.

"Jing Yuan, I'm going back, I'll make you two changes of clothes"

She was happy today, it was rare for her to speak generously, and she didn't feel the slightest touch of the man around her because of this sentence.

I have been worrying for many days, but because of this trip down the mountain, all of them have been temporarily resolved. How can I be in a bad mood.

Zhang Xiaolan's heart relaxed a lot, and she was extremely happy looking at the objects on her back. Even when she returned, her little hand was being pulled by the man beside her without noticing that something was wrong.

In order to avoid the gangsters from following, Jing Yuan deliberately took Zhang Xiaolan all the way to the village at the foot of the mountain for a couple of laps, and when he realized that there was no tail behind him, he quietly took her back to the mountain.

"Mother, Uncle, you are finally back!"

When Zhang Qincai saw the two figures at the entrance of the cave, she couldn't help stepping forward excitedly. From the moment they went down the mountain, she and Huzi had been worried about something happening. It wasn't until they pulled Mother's wrist that she realized that Mother's other hand Pulled by Uncle Jing Yuan.

Looking into her daughter's eyes, Zhang Xiaolan realized at this moment that he had been holding his hand since she came back. To avoid embarrassment, she pretended not to notice it, randomly pulled out the hand she was holding, and stroked her daughter's messy hand. s hair
"Go back first, mother and your uncle brought a lot of good things"

Seeing that the baskets behind mother and uncle were also full, he happily followed mother back into the cave with big strides.

The moment Jing Yuan was pulled out by the little hand, there was an inexplicable regret in his heart, and he didn't know what happened?
"Wow, mother, you and uncle are so good, you actually changed so many things!"

Huzi also hurried forward to help his mother organize the things in the basket~
"Mom, leave the embroidery work to me!"

"Success, my little cotton-padded jacket's craftsmanship makes my mother feel ashamed!"

Unable to hide her excitement, Zhang Xiaolan agreed to her daughter's request, but through the resentful eyes of the man on the side, she recalled the sentence she said back then, and added, "Celery will be the clothes of the three mothers, and each of them will make a set." It's done, the rest of the mother will do it, you are still young, you can't spoil your eyes."

After saying this, she clearly saw the resentful look in the man's eyes, and it disappeared immediately.
