Peasant girls seek happiness

Chapter 14
Shaguo is a kind of local fruit similar to small apples. It grows small and tastes sweet and sour, but it is a bit astringent, but it is already a rare fruit.

The Cheng family planted a row of fruit trees on the wall of the backyard, sand fruit trees, plum trees, apricot trees, crabapple trees, green beans, and cherry trees, one or two of each.

In summer and autumn, the trees are full of fruits one after another, and it has become the favorite snack of the children in the family.

Chu Qi took a sago in one hand and went to the appointed place while eating. Before he got there, two sago fell into his stomach.

Quite a bit unsatisfactory, I feel like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, and the taste is gone before I taste it.

Think about it, it's been a few days since crossing, and it's the first time I've eaten fruit.Even if the taste is mediocre, you won't be able to have this stuff if you want to eat it in the future.

The two little friends were already waiting for her, and the three of them chatted while walking towards the south hillside.

"On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, my father went up to the mountain yesterday and picked a few bunches of wild grapes. The sour ones are delicious. I'll eat them for you!" Da Niu Wang held a few pitifully small green grapes in her hands.

Chu Qi didn't reject her kindness, but she didn't take more either. She took a pill and put it in her mouth, sour saliva came out.

"Delicious, right?"

Seeing that the other party gave Xiao Cao another one, and then ate the next one deliciously, Chu Qi grinned, "It's delicious! It's just too sour."

"It's a little sour! It's not as delicious as your sand fruit, is it? And the red crabapple is also delicious."

Chu Qi was silent, did this girl mean what she thought?

Aunt Wang was disappointed to see that she didn't speak, "I ate sand fruit last year, and you gave it to me. I thought about the taste and I was greedy. I told my mother several times that I would also plant a sand fruit tree, but unfortunately my mother refused, saying that it was not easy to grow at home and took up space."

These words are so straightforward, Chu Qi had no choice but to say: "I'll go home and see if there are any more. This year, there are few sand fruits. My father brought some when he left, and there are not many at home. If you want, I will bring you two."

If I had known that I would not be greedy just now, I hadn't thought too much about giving those two sago to them.

Alas, this is not a good thing, it seems to make two little girls greedy.

She automatically skipped over the untasteful thing just now.

Chu Qi saw her grandma dig wild vegetables in her previous life, and Xiao Chu Qi also dug wild vegetables, but she didn't do it herself. Naturally, this action was not as fast as her friends.

But she got started very quickly, and dug half of the basket in a short while.Xiaocao ran over with a basket in her hand, and when she saw that there was only half of her basket in her basket, she grabbed a handful of her own basket full of mother-in-law Ding and put it in her basket, "Here you are!"

Chu Qi hurriedly stopped her: "No, I'll just dig it myself."

She was embarrassed to take the wild vegetables that others dug hard.

"I'll dig again."

She accepted the kindness, "Thank you."

Xiaocao smiled embarrassedly: "The wild vegetables are worthless, thank you!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, squatted down and started digging again.

In addition to them, some children came to the field one after another, and they didn't have to go to the field with their families.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl who was obviously older than them came over and asked, "Chu Qi, are you here to dig wild vegetables too?"

Chu Qi didn't know her well, but in her impression she always laughed at herself with Cheng Jiaojiao, and knew that she was a child of the village chief's family.

She wears silver lilac earrings and muslin clothes, and the condition of the village chief's house is very good.

She nodded and smiled without speaking.

The girl squatted beside her, gossiping with her while digging vegetables: "Chu Qi, I heard that your sister Jiaojiao not only pushed you into the water but also robbed your sister's marriage?"

In this matter, although it was declared to the outside world, Jiaojiao was the one who proposed the marriage in the first place.

But there was a time gap in the middle, and there were quite a few people who knew that they were talking about the first day of junior high school and not Jiaojiao.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Don't say it's true, even if it's fake, those who love to gossip behind their backs will spread the news.

"Who said that? Cheng Jiaojiao was the one who mentioned this marriage." She wasn't willing to speak well for Cheng Jiaojiao, but she didn't want her sister to be involved in it.

The girl was surprised at first: "You can really talk?"

Then he curled his lips, "You're all from the same village, and you're hiding it? Not only our village but other villages have spread the word that the Chen family is referring to your sister, but it doesn't match. What kind of 'female and husband' is your sister? They changed it to Cheng Jiaojiao."

Cheng Chuqi's face darkened, "Where did you hear that? Nonsense! My sister is a good character. How can there be such a thing as 'harming my husband'?"

You must know how harsh ancient times were to women. If the first-year junior sister is really named
"A lot of people say that anyway."

"A lot of people say that, so you can follow along? Aren't you a girl? Don't you know how much these words hurt a girl?"

Seeing Chu Qi's cold face, the girl felt a little uncomfortable, and said embarrassingly: "I didn't follow up, I just told you."

Cheng Chuqi ignored her, and greeted her little friend with a basket: "I have to go back beforehand."

Wang Daniu and Jiang Xiaocao didn't know what happened, so they hurriedly followed behind her with their baskets, "Chu Qi, are you tired?" "

The two spoke to each other, and Cheng Chuqi's anger subsided a lot unconsciously when he heard the concerned words.

"I'm not angry. I'm just a little tired and want to go back early."

Jiang Xiaocao said with some sympathy: "Your body is just right, so you can't be tired."

Wang Daniu said: "Let me carry the basket for you." She carried the basket herself, but she could still carry it for her.

"No, I can do it myself."

The two little girls sent her to the gate all the way, Cheng Chuqi told them to wait for her at the gate for a while, went into the yard to put down the basket, ran to the kitchen to see the third aunt was cooking, and lit a fire for her on the first day of the junior high school, quietly took two fruits and ran out without saying a word.

When Niu heard the footsteps, she looked up at her back, and then saw that there were two fruits missing on the plate, and hurriedly shouted out: "Chu Qi~ These fruits are for your sister-in-law and uncle, they will come home soon."

Chu Qi ran to the gate and gave the fruit to the two, "Eat it! You can bury the seeds in the corner after eating, maybe you can eat the fruit you planted in a few years!"

She didn't believe what she said.

"The seventh day, the seventh day, we are back." Sending off the two happy children, she was about to turn around when she heard someone shout.

Looking back, it was a young girl carrying a burden.

Her younger sister Cheng Chunxiao and younger uncle Cheng Liu in this life.

"Chu Qi, where is your father? Are you leaving?" Cheng Liu asked first, without expecting an answer from her, he went to the courtyard, shouting: "Father, mother, my little sister and I are back. Where's elder brother, have you gone yet?"

As soon as Chu Qi said the phrase "I left in the morning", he saw him enter the yard as soon as he uttered two words, and swallowed the rest.

But the girl next to her was pleasantly surprised and took her hand and ran in, "Mother, sister-in-law, come and listen, Chu Qi has spoken!"

When the family members explained clearly that she had been talking for several days, and complained that the two of them didn't arrive home in time to send Cheng Da off, Cheng Liu said with a bitter face:

"Don't mention it, we came out before dawn in an ox cart, but it broke down not long after we left Liugen Town. We walked for several hours, and we took our village's ox cart back to the county."

The old lady said angrily: "You didn't come back yesterday? You have to hurry, did you make it in time to see off your elder brother?"

"And your second sister, too, really treats you as helpers..."

Seeing that she was still going to babble, Chu Qi quietly dragged Yang back to the house, and told her what she had heard about Chu Yi's fate.

　I'm sorry I went out for a trip in the morning. I checked the time before I left. I think it's time for an update.As a result, I covered my face and forgot about the update when I got home (ashamed and ashamed). I just remembered it when I woke up from the heavy rain.
