suspected wife

Qiao Mingjin heard what Yue Xiaoman said, and didn't want her to be embarrassed, so she complied.

Said: "Then you can send the eggs over in a while."

After speaking, seeing Yue Xiaoman's hesitant expression on his face, he asked, "Is there any question?"

Yue Xiaoman blushed, and after a while he said: "Mother said that sister-in-law should pay first."

Qiao Mingjin frowned when she heard that.

Is this because she is afraid that she will swallow the money for the egg?

I can't help being happy.

Said: "My bullock cart is loaded with firewood, but there is not much room for eggs. The other families in the village have agreed before, so I can only make room for them first. And our mother and daughter I don’t have any money to buy vegetables and rice, and I don’t have any money left to buy rice and noodles with the money to sell firewood. It’s definitely not enough to pay for the eggs. How about asking your two brothers to take them to Songshan Market to sell?”

After hearing this, Yue Xiaoman's face became even redder, and it took a long time before he said, "Then I'll go home and ask Dad first."

After speaking, she took Linglong and Beishu's hands and walked out.

Na Donggen clasped his hands tightly in front of his chest, followed Yue Xiaoman and rushed out quickly.

"Mother, Wan'er's little stone..."

Mingheng had already parked the ox cart in the courtyard, and now Wan'er saw that Donggen was about to go out, so she ran over and grabbed Qiao Mingjin's clothes to complain.

Qiao Mingjin stroked her daughter's soft hair, and said, "It's okay, mother will find better stones for Wan'er in the future, with nice colors, okay?"

After hearing this, Xiao Wan'er nodded happily.

He pulled Qiao Mingjin's clothes again, motioned her mother to bend down, and whispered in Qiao Mingjin's ear: "Mother, uncle said, mother brought back a lot of delicious food this time."

Qiao Mingjin smiled and said, "Really, is Wan'er Gao happy?"

"Happy! Mother, do you need a lot of money?"

Qiao Mingjin couldn't help but feel sad for a while.

Children of the same age in other families can't even walk steadily. Her daughter is already able to help with the work and knows how to help her save money.

"It doesn't need a lot of money. When the stepmother earns a lot of money, she will definitely buy more delicious cakes for Wan'er. Go, and ask my aunt to find some delicious cakes for my uncle."

Seeing her daughter running away in the yard on her short legs, Qiao Mingjin got into the kitchen with a smile in her eyes...

In the afternoon, Qiao Mingjin and his three children chopped some firewood on the mountain, dug a few traps by the river, and found some wild rabbit tracks to set up traps in places where they often haunt.

This pheasant and hare can be sold for much more money than a day's hard work chopping firewood.If she can gain something every day, she can breathe a sigh of relief.

The best time to catch pheasants is at night, but she doesn't have a strong light, and she can't afford lamp oil, but even if she has a windbreak masthead light, the light may not help.

It’s better to get up early every day, the effect of catching in the morning is also very good, the vigilance of pheasants is very low.

In the afternoon, the family of four collected more than half of the firewood, and Qiao Mingjin cut two bamboo poles in the bamboo forest.

Today in the city she picked out a good piece of fish and a bundle of line for weaving.

There is a long river in Xiahe Village, there are several small rivers, and there are several streams in the mountains, and there are many fish in them.

In this era, fishing tools were backward, and fish reproduced quickly, and most farmers were unwilling to cook fish.

Firstly, the freshwater fish has an earthy smell, secondly, the fish bones are small and numerous, and thirdly, the peasants are reluctant to spend oil, seasoning, ginger, garlic and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell when cooking fish.

Fourth, most of the adults feel sorry for their children, and if they have fish, they will eat it tightly.But there are many fish bones, and most of the children can't spit them. In this day and age, medical skills are still backward, and there are quite a few people who get stuck and die.

The fish in the river multiplied more and more.

Most of the people who are willing to eat fish are wealthy families in the city.If it wasn't for dead fish that couldn't be sold at a high price, she would also like to catch some fish and sell them.Rich people don't save oil, salt, ginger and garlic.

It's just that there is no good way to preserve this fish, and it is easy to die if caught. Second, the road is too far, so it is not lucky.

But it is good to catch some fish once in a while to give the three children some nutrition.

All three children looked smaller than their peers.The life of Qiao's family is worse than that of Yue's family. Both Ming Heng and Ming Qi have never eaten any meaty or greasy food since they were young.Seeing the three children, Qiao Mingjin often secretly felt distressed...

Because the firewood was sent back the next day, the time spent on the mountain at night was not so long.When the sun was dim, the family of four led the cattle home.

Not long after arriving home, Yue Xiaoman came over with a basket.

"Sister-in-law, here are eighty eggs. Dad said that we will give them to us after you sell the money. Dad also said that if there is no food to eat, go to the vegetable field at home to pull it."

Qiao Mingjin just smiled and didn't speak.It's all delivered to the door, can I still return it?

There is no need for people to say that she has no conscience.Make some nonsense in vain.

Qiao Mingjin listened to what Yue Xiaoman said, and it was obvious that Mrs. Wu hadn't come back yet.Otherwise, Lao Yuetou would be reluctant to pay after the money, but if she had no food to eat and let her go to the field, if Wu Shi was at home, she would definitely make a fuss.

Seeing that Qiao Mingjin was silent, Yue Xiaoman wondered what to say.

Qiao Mingjin looked at the basket of eggs, and his heart turned a few times.

Accept it, Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Wu will speak lies.Don't accept it, don't they stop talking nonsense?

In order to keep the ears quiet in the future, I will give them two coins each.And don't take advantage of them.

Maybe it could get the sympathy of the villagers.I don't expect the villagers to help, as long as the villagers can say something for the mother and daughter, it would be great if they don't arrange behind the scenes.

Seeing that Qiao Mingjin answered, Yue Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Sister-in-law, the Liu family asked someone to bring a letter again. He said that he asked the third brother to send a matchmaker to come to propose marriage as soon as possible, and said that our family is not sincere. Mother originally thought about going to the city today to find Third brother, it’s just that grandma has something to do, so mother went to grandma’s house.”

After Yue Xiaoman finished speaking, he stared at Qiao Mingjin, thinking that he could see some different emotions on Qiao Mingjin's face.

It's just that she was disappointed in the end.

Qiao Mingjin seemed to be listening to other people's affairs, with nothing in his eyes.

Said to Yue Xiaoman: "Xiaoman, I'm going to fetch water now, and the road will be gone later. Why don't you play with Wan'er at home?"

"No. Sister-in-law, I want to go home too." After speaking, she left in a hurry.

After she left, Qiao Mingjin ordered Ming Qi to cook, Ming Heng to make egg holders, and she found a pole and a bucket to fetch water...

After the water was full, the four of them had dinner, and she made a set aside, and then made some simple tools for catching wild animals.The three children are competing to rub the straw rope.

Every night, the three children compete to see who can make the straw rope longer...
