Chapter 22 Going to the Town

Qi Yongyuan is a bully and fears the hard. The former Qiaoyun is a doormat, anyone can come up to bully twice.But today's Qiaoyun is not what she used to be, and she will not be bullied obediently anymore. When Qi Yongyuan saw Qiaoyun holding a shining kitchen knife, he turned around in fright and ran out of the kitchen.

"Hmph, let's see if you still dare to bully people in the future?" Qiao Yun snorted coldly, lowered her head and continued to chop vegetables.

Qiaoyun has saved up some cloth these days, and it's time to sell it in the town.Usually it was Liu who went out, but this time Liu's face was swollen like a pig's head, how could he go out to town?Qi Xiumei was able to go, but with her little strength, seven or eight pieces of cloth were not brisk, and she couldn't handle them at all.

Mrs. Liu was reluctant, but in the end she had no choice but to let Qiaoyun and Xiumei go to the town together.When Qiaoyun heard this, she was very happy. This was her first time out of the village, so she had to take a good look at what was going on outside.

In the early morning of April [-]th, Qiaoyun was carrying a basket on her back, in which was the cloth she had woven.The seven or eight pieces of cloth were not light, and Qiao Yun's body was a little bent under the weight.However, the joy in her heart made Qiaoyun ignore all this weight. Although she was carrying such a heavy thing, she didn't feel tired.

Every three, six or nine festivals, many people in the village would go to the town, and some people had horse-drawn carts, so they would pick up a few people along the way.Of course, it's not for nothing. Everyone has to give two copper coins.

If it was according to Liu's thoughts, she would really be reluctant to let Qiaoyun spend money.But Xiumei is different, the charming Didi raised by my daughter, if she walks for more than 30 miles, wouldn't Xiumei be exhausted?There was no other way, so Liu gritted her teeth and gave Qiaoyun four copper coins to go to town by car.

"Sell the cloth, and bring me back the money. I'll tell you, damn girl, if you lose a copper coin, I'll skin you tonight." Liu's mouth was still swollen, and he spoke It's also a little unclear, but she didn't forget to threaten Qiaoyun.

Qiaoyun curled her lips, she didn't like the price of selling this little cloth, it was a fixed price, what else could she earn from it?She's not that stupid. There are so many good things in this mountain. Does she need to hide this money?

Qiaoyun's place had already been cleaned up, and she was waiting for Qi Xiumei, but Qi Xiumei lingered for a long time before she came out.Qiaoyun saw that Qi Xiumei didn't look like she was going to the fair today, but rather that she was going on a blind date.

Qi Xiumei is wearing a pink cross-neck jacket with flowered satin, and underneath is a pleated skirt in cinnabar color embroidered with butterflies and flowers.Her face was powdered and rouged, and her hair was not braided as usual, but in a bun with silver-plated hairpins and a pink silk flower pinned to it.

Qi Xiumei's appearance is actually average, but she doesn't have to work in the fields, and she basically doesn't go out usually, so her skin is well maintained and fair.In this era, it is important to cover all ugliness with one white. As long as a girl has a good complexion, she is a beauty.

Mrs. Liu wholeheartedly wanted her daughter to marry a good family, so she paid the most attention to the beauty and beauty of embroidery, and was willing to spend money on her.Take Qi Xiumei's outfit as an example, I'm afraid there is no one who can't afford it.Mrs. Liu is very satisfied with Xiumei's outfit today. Now that her daughter is older, she should go out for a walk so that everyone can get to know her.

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's go out quickly, didn't we all agree with others yesterday?" Mrs. Liu was happy to see Xiumei like this, but when she saw that it was getting late, she rushed them out. up.

Qiaoyun carried the basket on her back, Xiumei just left empty-handed, the two left Qi's house and walked all the way to the entrance of the village.When I walked to the entrance of the village, I saw a flat carriage waiting.There were already many people sitting in the carriage, all of them were daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law from the village.

When everyone saw Qiaoyun and Xiumei approaching, they couldn't help complaining, "Oh, I said Xiumei, why are you so slow? The people in this car are waiting for you."

"Aunt Qi Wu, don't complain, how can girls and children go out like you? Don't they clean up properly?" Before Xiumei could speak, the driver of the car was the first to defend Xiumei. "Come on, sister Xiumei, you sit here, I specially reserved a place for you, and even laid a mat, so don't scratch your skirt."

The driver was a middle-aged man who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. His name was Sun Chengzu, and he was also a man with a foreign surname in Qijia Village.The Sun family had a good life in the village, and they were well-known wealthy households. When Sun Chengzu was free, he would go to the town to play around. The young man was quite capable.

Qi Xiumei can also be regarded as a well-known handsome girl in the village, and Liu is willing to spend money on dressing up, so many young men in the village are interested in sister Qi Xiumei.This Sun Chengzu has liked Xiumei for a long time, and it is rare to have an opportunity to please Xiumei, so of course he cannot miss it.

Xiumei actually understands Sun Chengzu's thoughts very well. The cardamom girl is just about to bloom, so naturally some people like it.Ordinarily, Sun Chengzu's family background and character are good, and Xiumei is somewhat willing in her heart, but it's hard to say clearly.So Sun Chengzu took it for granted that embroidery is beautiful and beautiful.

Seeing that there was a dog-skin mat on her seat, Xiumei couldn't help but smiled, then got into the carriage and sat there. "Brother Chengzu, thank you."

Sun Chengzu was a little embarrassed by Qi Xiumei's thank you, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head, "Okay, everyone is seated, I have to drive away."

Over there, Qiaoyun sat in the backmost seat. When Qiaoyun sat firmly, Sun Chengzu drove the carriage and walked towards the town.

Before Mao Shi, the sun had already come out, and the orange light shone on the earth, dyeing the sky and the mountains and forests with a little orange halo.A wild flower whose name is unknown on the side of the road is blooming. That touch of delicate yellow, taking advantage of the tender new green around it, makes people feel much more comfortable when they see it.

Qiao Yun sat on the carriage and looked around. In the early morning of spring, the scenery in this mountain is quite beautiful.The air in the mountain forest is very good, accompanied by the chirping of birds in the early morning. This kind of scene was never seen in the previous life.Of course, relatively speaking, this is also the endorsement of backwardness and poverty.

The road from the village to the town is not particularly smooth, and Qiaoyun is sitting behind, so the road is inevitably bumpy.For people who ride this kind of carriage for the first time, this really can't be said to be a good experience.

Qiaoyun was sitting on the carriage, being bumped to the point where she felt like all the bones in her body were about to fall apart.Fortunately, the person next to her kept holding her, so despite the bumps, she would not be knocked down.

 The cold is better, thank you for your concern, I am so happy.
