Rebirth of the beauty of the peasant girl

Chapter 944

Mrs. He was surprised and said, "Don't we have a fishing boat? Why are you building it?"

"It's okay to have one more."

"No!" Mrs. He resolutely refused, "One is enough, and I will leave it to Ah You and his wife in the future. Xiaoer is going to be a scholar and become a husband, so he doesn't need to go to sea in the future. Why waste that money? Save it for Xiaoer It is important to study and marry a wife!"

"You, a woman's opinion!" Village Chief He sighed, "If you keep your money, you have to spend your life. What is more important than your life?"

"Then what do you mean..."

"The condemnation of the Goddess of the Sea God is not a joke. It is recorded in the village annals that a hundred years ago, a woman learned to read and write, and then a volcano erupted. How else did the mountain come from? At that time I don’t know how many people died, and the houses were all destroyed!”

"This..." Mrs. He became a little scared, "Then what should I do? Think of a way! I haven't hugged my grandson yet, I don't want to die!"

Village head He finally got to the point: "So I ask you to take out the money, let's build a boat, and the family will go to the county to escape."

"Can this work?" Mrs. He hesitated.

"Why not?"

"After all, you are the village head, so it's a bit too much for us to run with our own family?"

"It's not that I haven't thought about them." Village Chief He became angry when he mentioned this matter, "I discussed with them before and asked them to use the little money to pool together and build a boat to let the siblings leave. Who knows As soon as they heard that they were going to pay, they were all bored, motherfucker!"

"Our family builds the boat by ourselves. We must ask someone to help us. Who can we hide?"

"Who said you want to hide it from others?" Village head He said confidently, "It's not uncommon for the village to build boats during the fishing moratorium."

"But our family already has a boat, and it's being held at the county government wharf..."

Village head He smiled proudly: "So your wife is short-sighted. Then we can't say that it is for Xiaoer to marry a wife? Who wants to marry, this boat is the bride price!"

"The dowry...is too expensive." Mrs. He was very distressed.

"It's just a saying, and it's for others to hear. It's not up to the two of us to choose who to be a daughter-in-law?"

"Your words are reasonable..." Mrs. He held up the needle and thread, in a daze, "but in my heart, I always feel uncomfortable..."

Seeing that she was loose, Village Chief He tried to persuade her while the iron was hot: "What are you afraid of? If you survive, you can talk about anything. Besides, this boat is our own after it is built. If we can't sell it, or It is up to us to rent it out, and we will not let the money go to waste.”

Having said this, Mrs. He gritted her teeth: "Okay, I will do as you say! But you have to hurry up, there are still five days, is it enough?"

Village head He thought for a while: "I can only invite a few more people. Fortunately, it is the fishing moratorium now, and the wages are low, so we can keep it."

"You can do it now? I'll give you the silver."

Now that the decision was made, Mrs. He became even more anxious and urged him to do it.Find the key to open the box, take out a bag of loose silver under the clothes at the bottom of the box, and solemnly hand it to him, "This is all our family's savings."

Village head He nodded: "I see."

He took the silver and walked outside, then turned back: "By the way, don't forget to go to Qiaoqiao's house and ask about the roast chicken. Sacrificial festival is a big event, so we can't neglect it."

Mrs. He gave him a white look: "It's up to you to say. Wait until I mend the clothes."

Because of something hidden in her heart, Mrs. He's needlework is not as good as it used to be.

She hurriedly sewed up the broken place, changed into a gown, and went out all the way to He Qiaoqiao's house.

He Qiaoqiao is preparing dinner at home.

Different from the image outside, He Qiaoqiao, who was sitting on the bench picking vegetables, was wearing a floral linen gown, her hair was tied neatly behind her head, and she looked much more relaxed and settled.

Mrs. He walked in and asked with a smile on her face, "The sun is still so high, why are you making dinner so early?"

He Qiaoqiao looked up and saw that it was her, she quickly stood up, smiled and asked her to sit down, "It's my cousin, please sit down, my mother is at the stove, I'll call her to go.

"Not busy, not busy..." Mrs. He hurriedly held her back, and said with a smile, "Did my second son come here to bother you earlier?"

He Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "What's the trouble, he has been eating at my house since he was a child, and he is used to it."

Mrs. He smiled: "You are only two years older than him, and you speak old-fashioned."

"Although he is only two years older, he is my cousin."

"That's true," Mrs. He thought about it for a while, and asked tentatively, "I saw that when he came back, he had a chicken leg in his hand. Why, your family's sacrificial ceremony is ready?"

He Qiaoqiao shook his head: "No, that chicken is my family's lunch."

Mrs. He asked: "It's not the Chinese New Year holiday, why do you think of eating chicken?"

Although people here love to eat chicken, but chicken is an expensive thing, and now there are no fishing boats coming and going, and there is no place to buy it, so they usually don't eat much.

He Qiaoqiao didn't hide it from her, and said with a smile: "I took it from Doctor Bai when I delivered the meal to him at noon."

Mrs. He wondered: "Doctor Bai usually orders meals from you, and he will take the initiative to butcher chickens to eat?"

"It wasn't him who did it, it was the woman...cough, it was that girl Xiaoliu who did it."

"That little villain?" Madam Bai stared wide-eyed, "How dare you take food from her?"

He Qiaoqiao was surprised and said, "Why don't you dare?"

Mrs. He shook her head: "She is so vicious! Baba collects food from every household, how can I be willing to give you the chicken?"

"Pfft!" He Qiaoqiao laughed, "Just like her, she is so cute and small, she is also called fierce? She just doesn't want to be bullied by the villagers. Speaking of which, I didn't take the chicken for nothing, I used it In exchange for rice balls and glutinous rice balls."

"In exchange?" Mrs. He was skeptical, but at the same time, she remembered the wonderful taste of the half of the chicken leg she ate before.

She hesitated for a while, but couldn't bear it anymore, "Tell me, if I exchange rice balls with her, can she exchange them?"

"Does my cousin want it too?"

"Yes, I'm worried about what to use for the sacrifice this year. I think the one eaten by Xiao Er is very good!"

"Oh, that's right..." He Qiaoqiao secretly smiled inwardly.

Where did she want to make a sacrificial ceremony, she clearly wanted to eat it herself.

Thinking of this in her heart, He Qiaoqiao smiled and said: "I'm afraid it won't work if I change it again. They don't lack food now."

"Ah..." Mrs. He showed a disappointed expression.

She forgot, this afternoon, every household sent food to that little villain.

"Then forget it..." She stood up in disappointment, ready to go home.

"However..." He Qiaoqiao smiled behind her, "Although it's not easy to exchange food, you can buy it with money."

　Thank you a few little angels for your rewards, there is no repayment, only - add more.
