suspected wife

Seeing sister Xiu and her husband's eager faces, Qiao Mingjin told them what she was going to do.

"Did you go to the city to sell abacus a few days ago?"

Sister Xiu looked surprised.Don't the shops in the city have an abacus to sell?

Seeing his husband and wife like this, Qiao Mingjin smiled and said, "My abacus is not the same as the current one. It's selling well these days. I have also received some orders. There is about a hundred or so, and I have to catch up." It was made within ten days. In the past few days, He Xiaochun, his father and son, and two apprentices of He's father have also rushed to make some. It's just that we have to do it urgently. It's best to get it out sooner. This thing is not difficult to imitate. I'm afraid that in a few days, there will be cheaper imitations made. Although half of the deposit is charged, others can still return the product."

After hearing this, Yue Dalei said, "I've never done abacus. I'm afraid I can't do too fine."

After hearing this, Qiao Mingjin said, "It's okay, my elder brother helped chop the wood and grind the beads. It can be done quickly."

After hearing this, Yue Dalei nodded reassuringly: "Sure, I can do these jobs."

"Then elder brother, come over early tomorrow morning. Since I have to rush to work, it may be a little hard work, so I will pay elder brother eighty yuan a day."

After hearing this, Sister Xiu waved her hands and said, "Where do you need so much wages! No way. You can ask him to help you if you have something to do. How can you talk about wages or not? If you feel embarrassed, just assume that he is in the city for a day." Just give him a salary of fifty renminbi."

Qiao Mingjin was very moved when he heard that.

Then he said: "I'm rushing to work, maybe when I'm busy, I don't even have time to drink water. Just use [-] Wen. Maybe I still have something to trouble my brother in the future."

Sister Xiu refused twice, but Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to give up.

Turning back to her man, she said, "You have to work hard! My sister is selling for money, so you can't be rough."

Yue Dalei rolled her eyes and said, "How can I not know?"

Qiao Mingjin and sister Xiu looked at each other, smiled, and stepped up to shovel the soil...

That night, when Yue Dalei loaded the chicken cages of the two families in a bullock cart and went back, he went to Qiao Mingjin's house to see them.He also listened to the advice of Father He and others.Soon you will know what you have to do.

Only early the next morning, he knocked on the door.

At that time, Ming Jue and Ming Heng had already brought the cattle to send firewood into the city.Qiao Mingjin also prepared breakfast and prepared to carry chicken cages into the mountains for stocking.

After Yue Dalei entered the door, he worked hard together with He Xiaochun and others.He can be regarded as a proficient hand, and he has been doing work outside all year round, and he has done some carpentry work to some extent.Although it is not so proficient as my father and others who specialize in carpentry.But the physical work, chopping wood, grinding and other work is still done very well.

With his joining, the work efficiency of the four of He Xiaochun was greatly improved, and the speed was also much faster.

And Qiao Mingjin carried the chicken coop into the mountain, and found that she and sister Xiu were the only ones in the mountain.There are also many villagers who have also picked chicken coops and put them in the mountains.The chickens ran all over the hillside.

It's also a pity that there are no other beasts in the mountain, otherwise how many beasts' rations can be filled?

It seems that the villagers are not stupid.

The chickens are free range at home.I have to take care of it, and I have to worry about preparing chicken food three times a day, and the chicken excrement is very smelly.Once it is released in the mountains, the chickens don’t need to be fed. Just put a water tank near the chicken coop to prepare water, and the chickens can find food in the mountains and forests by themselves.

And some chickens don't go back to the cage to drink water, the water in the forest and mountain stream is enough for them to drink.

It is much easier to carry them into the mountains and raise them than to raise them at home.That is to say, sooner or later you have to pick up the cage to come and go.But it can save a lot.

Qiao Mingjin put down the chicken coop at her fixed place in the mountains.Open the chicken coop, and watch my chickens go happily into the forest.I was about to go for a walk in the woods.I saw that the second and fourth children of the Yue family also carried a load of chicken coops into the mountain.

The three faced each other, and Yue Lao Er and Yue Lao Si were somewhat embarrassed.

However, the two of them still called her "brother and sister (sister-in-law three)".

Qiao Mingjin smiled and nodded at them faintly.

The fourth Yue put down the cage and said to Qiao Mingjin, "Sister-in-law three, are you so early?"

Qiao Mingjin also looked at him and replied, "Yes."

As soon as the words fell, the three of them didn't know what to say.

Fourth Yue scratched his head and said, "Sister-in-law three, you can bring Wan'er home for dinner if you have time."

Yue Laoer also chimed in: "Yes, yes, Donggen and Linglong are also reciting Wan'er. The siblings also brought her home to play with the children."

Qiao Mingjin didn't speak, just looked at them with a faint smile.

The two were a little embarrassed.

After all, the mother and daughter have moved away for a long time, and my family hasn't visited the house much, and the village is not far away.They also asked others to help sell eggs, but they didn't get any benefits. They also put their hard-earned money in it, and there might be some broken ones on the road.And none of the children in my family went to play with Wan'er's cousin.

Qiao Mingjin glanced at them and said, "You guys are busy, I'll go for a walk in the mountains."

The two of them nodded hurriedly as if they were pardoned: "Sister-in-law (sister-in-law three) you go on your own."

Qiao Mingjin nodded at them, then turned and walked into the woods.

Ever since she and Wan'er moved out, their mother and daughter seemed to have little contact with the Yue family, and seeing each other now, they were almost like strangers.

Qiao Mingjin shook her head, forgetting everyone in the Yue family.Just wandered in the woods.

Nowadays, pheasants and hares are rare in the woods, and she didn't meet one or two along the way.In the past, as long as she walked into the woods, she could always meet pheasants or hares fleeing from the grass in a panic.

It seems that the people in Xiahe Village are not stupid either. In just this short period of time, the number of pheasants and hares has decreased sharply.

It's just that the sound of chickens flapping their wings can be heard everywhere in the woods.

This mountain has provided firewood for the people of Xiahe Village, and now it helps feed so many chickens...

Qiao Mingjin looked around.I picked a large handful of black fungus, wrapped them in wide leaves from the forest, and went down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, she picked up baskets and shovels non-stop to shovel the soil.The four acres of land around her house hadn't been filled in yet yesterday, and another day has to be filled in today.Tomorrow, I will fill in the mud for another day, and then I can plant winter melons, pumpkins and some fruit trees.

At the beginning of Chen Shichu, sister Xiu also came to help her.

Fortunately, Sister Xiu and her family's cows were here, otherwise Qiao Mingjin would just have to pick one load at home, or wait for her to pick it up.The shoulders were bleeding, and they couldn't fill the ground in front of and behind the house.

In the afternoon, Ming Heng and Ming Jue came back and joined the ranks of shoveling soil, as well as Liu Qi.

Early this morning, Liu Qi also clamored to follow him to the city.

It's just that he may have been too excited yesterday, and he was brave enough to shovel a lot of soil.He also filled the soil like he was playing. When he finished work yesterday, he didn’t care at all whether the dishes were different from his own, whether there was meat, or whether the rice was polished rice, so he took the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.

I ate two bowls in a row.

Then he followed Ming Heng to the well to take a bath.It was very late in the day before falling into a deep sleep.

Xu was very tired, when Qiao Mingjin and He Xiaochun called it a day and went to sleep.You can also hear Liu Qi's snoring from inside the room.

Early this morning, when Ming Heng woke up, he also woke up in a daze, without opening his eyes.Ming Heng wanted him to sleep at home, but he grabbed Ming Heng's clothes and refused to let go.

Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to wipe his hands and face and put on his clothes.But he didn't even open his eyes to eat breakfast.Qiao Mingjin had no choice but to let Mingjue carry him on the back of the bull, and let Mingheng sit behind him.Holding him from behind, he walked all the way into the city.

The three of them came back from the city in the afternoon, and the bullock cart was loaded with half a bullock cart.

That Liu Qi yelled excitedly, picked up the package and began to divide things.

Say what is in which packages, which ones have meat, which ones have food, and which ones have snacks and fruits.

The long river and willow branches that came to play were not left behind, and everyone got a lot of food.The children immediately happily went to play with him.

Ming Jue glanced at the children, and then told his sister that Yuanwai Liu ordered someone to wait at the gate of the city early in the morning.Knowing that his son was going to follow him into the city, he asked his servants to prepare a bunch of things.

In addition to Liu Qi's own clothes and a few big bags, there are also purchased polished rice, meat and vegetables, oil and salt, melon and fruit snacks, etc., which are packed into a half-ox cart.

Qiao Mingjin gave some to Sister Xiu, and Sister Xiu accepted it cheerfully without being pretentious.Then he helped to dig the soil again.

Until it was getting dark, the four mu of land in front of and behind the house had been filled in.

Because there are four people including He's father in the family, plus Liu Qi, a young visitor from the city, and all kinds of dried fish, meat, vegetables, polished rice and other things he brought from the city today.Qiao Mingjin left sister Xiu's family to eat at home.

There are two tables.

There was no extra table at home, so Yue Dalei brought his table and table when he went back to his house.

There was no extra stool, so I took a basket and turned it upside down on the ground, propped the tabletop on it, moved a few half-height wooden stakes from the firewood room, and used it as a stool to sit on.

Liu Qi still felt that it was new, and he didn't even want to sit on the stool that was given to him, but clamored to sit on the wooden pier instead.It's just that the wooden pier is too narrow, and one careless person threw him on his back.

This kid is really thick-skinned, but he is not ashamed, and even teased and joked with Ming Heng who laughed at him.

It made Chang He, Liu Zhi and Wan Er fall in love with him even more.

Qiao Mingjin looked at him coldly, the child wasn't too naughty.

Maybe it's just that I don't like reading.Willfulness and arrogance are the faults of every rich young master.Qiao Mingjin likes this kid very much, especially because he is not picky about food.

I saw that he was going to follow me before, and I was worried all the way back.

I know what's going on at home. The rice I eat at home is all bought broken rice mixed with dried sweet potatoes.There were only a few vegetarian dishes on the dinner table, and she was reluctant to add more oil.Salt is also expensive, and sometimes she can hardly swallow it.Not to mention the young master Jiao from this city.

But it's very good, this child has come to see everything new this day, everything is curious, and he is playing hard, but he doesn't care if there is any good clothes and food, and whether there are fragrant quilts, bath beans, etc. .

It made Qiao Mingjin feel relieved a lot.

But the family has been doing it for several days, and the four acres of land in front of the house and behind the house are all done. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
