farmer's little girl

Chapter 71 The taste is wrong
Since there was nothing to do in the afternoon, Guiya went to Erfang's house to talk to Lu Jiaoyue.

The two chatted without saying a word, and when Guiya looked at the sky outside, she realized that it was getting late.

"I have to go back."

Lu Jiaoyue nodded, telling her to come and play with her when she has time.

After returning home, Gui Ya realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the house.

The younger sister Taoya had a froze face, and her mother's face was filled with lingering anger. She was about to ask what was wrong when she saw the bag of grain on the table.

"Sister——" Seeing that Gui Ya had returned, Tao Ya ran to her side.

Liu Cuilan stood up from the kang, for some reason, she felt a little guilty, rubbed her hands together, and said with a smile, "You're back?"

Gui Ya glanced at her mother, and gave Tao Ya a look, stopping what she was about to say.

Afterwards, Guiya didn't ask where the bag of food on the table came from, but when she went inside and came out again, the things on the table were gone.

"What do you want to eat tonight, mother will make it for you."

Gui Ya took a look at the mother who seemed to be extraordinarily attentive today, and said, "I'd better go, you've been busy all day today."

In the kitchen, Tao Ya told Gui Ya about Chen Tiegen's visit.

"I think it's strange for him to come, but my mother is like a fool. No matter how I wink at her, it's useless. She also asked me to call him dad, but I don't want to. After he left, my mother scolded me and said that I don't care. After all, he is always our father."

Gui Ya's face was dark and inexplicable.

As early as in the village, it was rumored that her family had made a fortune, so she knew that sooner or later a moth would appear in the Chen family, but she never expected that it would be her father.

Guiya understands Chen Tiegen's character very well, he can't beat a fart with three sticks, and he is cowardly and dull, and has been at the mercy of her grandma all his life.With his personality, he would listen to her grandmother. Gui Ya was not surprised, but what surprised her was that the Chen family changed their approach to things.

Her grandma is not a smart person, otherwise she wouldn't be hated by everyone in the village.There are also many evil mothers-in-law in the village, and there are also many mothers who favor other sons, but none of them are as obvious as her.On the surface, they maintain a peaceful family, but in fact they should be partial, and they are not biased at all.But she just became a role model in the village, and anyone who mentioned a partial son who was a mother would use her as an example.

Her grandma only knows the old tricks, first she plays hard, then she hangs herself after crying, making trouble, and hanging herself. Generally, her parents will give in if she doesn't reach the point of hanging herself.So this kind of gentle method is really not like what her grandma would do.As for her father and uncles and aunts, let alone, one is a wooden head, and the other two are replicas of her milk, both of them are fake smart.

Gui Ya couldn't help but think of the widow.

She had heard a lot about the recent affairs of the Chen family. She knew that the widow was a smart person, and she coaxed the entire Chen family well.Including her aunt, little Chen has always been a difficult person, and she was coaxed by the widow to say that this one is much better than the previous one.

Of course, Gui Ya is not worried about the Chen family, but her mother.

Judging from the situation described by the younger sister, it is obvious that her mother has softened her heart.

Half a bag of food is exchanged for completely forgetting the previous persecution and humiliation, Gui Ya really doesn't know what to say to her mother.

"I just saw that my mother hid the bag of grain here." As she said that, Tao Ya turned the bag of grain out and untied the rope tied on it.

"I knew the Chen family was not so generous, sister, look!" Tao Ya said angrily.

I saw half a bag of sorghum rice in the small bag, all of which were unthreshed and still had shells on them.At this time, there are many mildew spots on these shells, which are obviously damp.

"I'm going to tell my mother!"

Tao Ya carried the bag and went to the upper room, Gui Ya didn't stop her, but followed behind, she wanted to see her mother's attitude.

When Gui Ya went in, Tao Ya had already told her mother about it.Liu Cuilan frowned tightly, but said in her mouth: "Our family is not a rich family. This food is just a little wet, but it is still edible."

"Mother, it's not a matter of whether we get wet or not, but that he actually gave us something like this, treating us as beggars! No matter how poor the Chen family is, they still don't have to eat moldy food."

Liu Cuilan reprimanded: "What is he? He is your father." She sighed and touched the grain bag: "It's not easy for your father. Your grandma is very powerful. She can hide and save this little grain." It has been very difficult.”

Tao Ya's eyes were full of anger, but Gui Ya's heart sank.

"Mom, are you planning to forgive him? Don't you forget how the Chen family treated my sister and kicked us out. Why do you forget everything before when the days are just getting better! "Taoya shouted.

Hearing this, Liu Cuilan looked at the eldest daughter with some guilt, and explained: "Mother didn't intend to forgive your father, and Mother didn't forget what happened before. I just... well, I just think it's not easy for your father..."

Tao Ya wanted to say something, but Gui Ya pulled her from behind.Taoya could only shut up angrily, and Liu Cuilan went back to sit on the kang, holding a sewing dustpan in her hand, pretending to be busy.

When it was time to eat, Gui Ya was not in the mood to eat at all.

She used the excuse that she had something to do with Lu Jiaoyue, so she left the house.

At this time, the sky was already dark, the moon was sparse and the stars were sparse, and there was a cool wind blowing, and she felt that her heart was also very cold.

Walking unconsciously all the way in the village, she came to the courtyard of the second bedroom of the Lu family. The courtyard door was closed, and Gui Ya had no intention of calling the door.She said she had something to do with Jiaoyue, but in fact she just wanted to find an excuse to come out and get some air.

She was about to turn around and walk back when she suddenly heard the courtyard door creak open.

"Sister Guiya, are you here to see Yueer?" Lu Guangyi looked at Guiya in surprise.

Gui Ya didn't expect to meet him, she was at a loss and said, "No, I'm fine, I just came out for a walk and came here by accident."

"What happened?"

Seeing that she didn't say anything, but kept his eyes on the courtyard door behind him, Lu Guangyi closed the door, "I have something to do with Baozhu, let's talk while walking."

Tian Baozhu is Lu Guangyi's bare-bottomed playmate. He is currently farming at home, and in a few days it will be a good day for him to get married. At that time, Lu Guangyi will go to help, so he went to Tian Baozhu to ask about this matter.

The path in the village was very quiet. There were hardly any people walking outside at this time, and the two walked along the path without making any noise.

"Did something happen to your family?" In the silence, Lu Guangyi asked suddenly.

With little hesitation, Gui Ya told what happened at home.Firstly, she trusted Lu Guangyi not to talk nonsense, and also because she was really aggrieved.

After listening, Lu Guangyi was silent for a while, and then said: "You are a junior, you can't control the minds of the elders."

Gui Ya smiled wryly, how could she not know this truth.

"However, if you don't care about it, the quiet life of your family may be gone in the future. Have you thought about what to do?" Lu Guangyi asked.

Gui Ya shook her head blankly.

Lu Guangyi sighed deeply, and persuaded: "I don't think you should think too much, after all, your father and mother have reconciled in front of the whole village, and your father married another wife."

"Can--"

"Are you afraid that your mother will tell your father about your family?"

Gui Ya nodded.

People in the village only know that her family made a fortune doing business in the town, but they don't know what's going on inside.

"Then have you ever thought that it's not difficult to find out as long as you observe carefully, so you don't have to be afraid of causing any trouble to my family." From the news that Gui Ya's family is doing business in the county, Lu Guangyi has enlightenment.The reason why the business of Guiya's family and their own is good is nothing more than because of his family's soy milk, which is not rare at all. What is rare is how to make soy milk taste good.

It is conceivable that if this matter gets out, there will be many people who are jealous of his family, but Lu Guangyi does not think that he cannot solve this problem.After all, everyone relies on their ability to eat, and those who have no ability can't eat. There are so many people in the world, and no one owes anyone.

"Sooner or later, the matter will be exposed. Don't worry, my father and I know it well."

"I'm sorry, Brother Lu, it's my family who caused trouble for your family." Gui Ya said with some guilt.

She grew up in the countryside since she was a child, so she naturally understands the nature of country people. It's okay for everyone to be poor. If someone suddenly becomes rich.Gossip behind the back, those who poke the spine, those who are jealous, all kinds of moths will come.There are always people who ask openly and secretly how your family got rich, and there are not a few people who even have the cheek to take advantage of it.Everyone is from the same village, so it's not good to show your face, and it's annoying if you don't show your face.

Lu Guangyi laughed: "Didn't I say it earlier, you don't have to think that you caused any trouble for my family. After all, my family is also in business now, and there are many people who know it, but they don't know the specific situation. The county is It is farther away from the village than the town, but who can guarantee that no one in the village will go to the county and will never be discovered?"

Gui Ya fell silent.

After a while, he said, "That's true."

"Then have you thought about how to solve the Chen family's affairs?" Lu Guangyi suddenly asked again.

Gui Ya thought for a while, then raised her head and glanced at him: "Since you don't have to worry about this, I won't stop it, just like you said, this kind of thing can't be stopped, anyway, my family doesn't have any secret recipes or anything, just go to Sometimes it may cause some trouble for your family." Speaking of this, she smiled helplessly.

Lu Guangyi looked at her face with some pity and smiled, hesitated for a moment, and said: "You don't have to worry about my family, but you have to have an opinion in your heart about your family's affairs, don't let those people interfere with your family's business Yes. As for your mother—"

"Brother Lu, it's okay if you say so."

Lu Guangyi nodded, and said again: "If she really has that kind of thought, you have to be sure."

"Brother Lu, what do you mean?" A look of panic flashed in Gui Ya's eyes, obviously she was not stupid.

"I said this to remind you. After all, my uncle's family has already made a precedent. If the Chen family really has any plans for your family, I'm afraid they will propose to let you mother and daughter go home." thing."

"But he's already married..." Immediately afterwards, Gui Ya fell silent.Isn't that right? The eldest family of the Lu family has already set a precedent. Who dares to say that the Chen family will not be moved by such thoughts.

Thinking of this, Guiya suddenly felt bad.

"But you don't have to worry, with our family supporting you, they probably won't think much about you." Having said that, Lu Guangyi suddenly had an idea in his mind, and said to Guiya: "Don't worry about this, I've got some ideas."

"What's the idea?"

Because she was a little excited, Gui Ya involuntarily stepped forward and grabbed Lu Guangyi's sleeve.Immediately afterwards, she realized what she had done, as if she had been scalded, she quickly let go of her hand.

In the darkness, Gui Ya's face flushed with shame.

Lu Guangyi glanced at her, his eyes wandering aside involuntarily.

I don't know how long it took before he cleared his throat and said, "I can't tell you about this right now. I have to go back and discuss it with my family before I can tell you."

"Then go back quickly." After following Gui Ya, she realized that Big Brother Lu had something to do when he came out, and hurriedly said, "I forgot that you still have to go to Baozhu's house, Big Brother Lu, you should go first, my family's business is not urgent." , really in no hurry..."

At the end, Gui Ya didn't know what she was talking about anymore, so she told Lu Guangyi that she was going back, and then she ran away without looking back.

Guiya covered her face while running, wondering if Big Brother Lu noticed her abnormality.Thinking that she, who is usually calm and self-controlled, has repeatedly lost her temper in Brother Lu, she has an urge to hit the wall.

After finally running to the door of the house, Gui Ya put her hands on her knees and gasped for several breaths before stretching out her hand and pushing open the courtyard door.

She didn't realize that there was a figure following her all the time, until she entered the courtyard gate and stood outside for a while before turning around and leaving.

Tossing and turning all night, Gui Ya fell into a deep sleep until the rooster crowed outside.

When she woke up, she found that it was already dawn outside.

She sat up from the kang and looked around.My younger sister Taoya has already woken up, but Xiaoya is still sleeping.She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that she didn't get up late.

Faintly heard someone talking in the yard, Gui Ya put on her clothes and went out, and saw a person who shouldn't be here.

It's her father.

Her mother was standing in the yard talking to her father, while her younger sister, Taoya, was looking over there angrily.

"Sister, are you up?"

Hearing this, Liu Cuilan looked towards the door, and saw her eldest daughter standing in front of the door and looking at her.

"Gui Ya, are you up? Mother said you worked hard all day, so she didn't call you. By the way, the steamed buns are already steamed, and breakfast is ready, you can go and eat something first."

Seeing such a mother, Gui Ya couldn't help but feel sad for a while, and at the same time her heart softened.Because of this, she walked towards the kitchen without saying anything.

During this period, he didn't even look at Chen Tiegen again.

The two sisters ate breakfast in the kitchen, and the breakfast was simple, just gruel with buns and a plate of pickles.The two ate in silence, during which Taoya hesitated to speak several times, but seeing the face of the eldest sister, she didn't know what to say.

In the yard, Chen Tiegen looked at Guiya's back hesitantly, and whispered, "Daughter is still blaming me."

Liu Cuilan's eyes were a bit complicated: "Children, you have a temper." She didn't say anything else, because she didn't know what to say.

The originally happy mood suddenly became depressed because of the eldest daughter.Liu Cuilan glanced at Chen Tiegen, and said, "Go back, we don't need your help here, the children and I can do it."

Chen Tiegen hesitated for a moment, then nodded, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Gui Ya soon knew what Lu Guangyi's method was.

Because it was only a few days, rumors spread about the Lu family's second bedroom doing business in the county.

Many people in the village knew about Lu's Second House doing business in the county, but they didn't think much about it.Because the second room of Lu's family was originally engaged in the tofu business, and it was not surprising that they would also do other small businesses.

What was surprising this time was that according to people, the business of the second bedroom of the Lu family was very famous in the county, and many people knew that there was a small stall in the south of the city that served delicious soy milk.

What is even more surprising is that the legendary Guiya family, which has made a fortune, also relied on the soy milk from the second room of the Lu family to start their business.

For a while, people in the village talked about it.

The people in the country are different from the people in the county. There are not many people who can make tofu, soy milk is naturally not a problem. The only difference is whether it is delicious or not.However, most people are too lazy to spend this effort. They usually buy tofu at home, and only make more by themselves during the Chinese New Year.

The tofu in the second room of the Lu family is indeed very good. Otherwise, there would not be so many people buying it, but the money they earn is hard money. They have to get up early in the morning to grind beans, and travel around ten miles and eight villages, and Can't sell much either.

But soy milk is different. It is said that the soy milk of the second room of the Lu family sells for a penny a bowl in the county, and it is also said that they sell hundreds of bowls a day.

Immediately, the thoughts of those who know how to make tofu in the village started to move.

Some people were excited, but naturally some were disappointed. For example, Mrs. Chen, she wanted to let the boss get some money back from that woman Liu Cuilan.As soon as this news came out, I'm afraid they would not be able to do business in the future.

Of course, there are also people who take pleasure in other people's misfortune, and this gloating is naturally aimed at Gui Ya's family. Don't look at the time when Gui Ya and his wife were pitiful, many people in the village sympathized with them.But the originally poor people suddenly become better off than their own life, it is inevitable that some people will be psychologically unbalanced, and it is all because of schadenfreude.

The Qian family was the first to jump out. They have always had a temperament of being unprofitable, otherwise they would not be popular in the village.It was only the second day after hearing the news that the Qian family carried two buckets of soy milk to the town. Of course, they didn't just sell soy milk, they also sold steamed stuffed buns just like Gui Ya's family.

When the Qian family came back half a day later, the villagers who had been watching their movements were excited when they saw that the Qian family's pick was empty.

Since the Qian family can do it and sell it, they can do it themselves, but they are not kind to Lu Erer and Gui Ya's family.But since ancient times, human nature has been selfish. Compared with a lot of money, what is kindness? !

As a result, more and more people made soy milk to sell in the town.

In the past few days, Lu Minghai and his son were walking in the village. The thin-skinned ones would feel a little embarrassed when they met them, while the thick-skinned ones just turned their faces away and left.

There is no doubt that the warmth and coldness of human feelings are obvious.

Naturally, someone whispered sarcastic remarks in their ears, for example, there were too many families going to the town, and several families had already decided to go farther to the county.Of course, there are kind-hearted people, or people who have a good relationship with the second-bedroom family, who are unwilling to make this money for the sake of their relationship.They usually take a comforting attitude, but from the way they shake their heads and sigh, it can be known that they have no hope for the future of the Erfang family.

With so many people grabbing business, Ming Hai's business probably won't last long.

When the incident broke out, Mrs. Qiao came to Erfang's house first to express her attitude, and by the way despised those who were blind to money and disregarded affection.

Some talked about other families in the village, but they mainly talked about Dafang.

Because Dafang also got involved, I don't know how Hu's mobilized Lu Mingchuan and Old Man Lu, anyway, Dafang is very busy now.Before Mrs. Qiao came to Erfang's house, Dafang's family was busy grinding beans and noodles, and planned to set up a stall in the county tomorrow.

If other people in the village are like this, Mrs. Qiao can still understand, but Dafang is also like this, which seems a bit unkind.

"Brother and father are just like Hu's mother-in-law. They plan to be ashamed. The whole family is blatantly grabbing business like this."

The Erfang family remained silent. Although they had expected the current situation, they did not expect Dafang to be so disregarding face.

Lu Minghai's complexion was not very good, but Mrs. Mei was more thoughtful than him.

She let out a breath, and said to Qiao: "Our family can't control what people want to do, just do whatever you like."

"Second sister-in-law..."

Mrs. Mei smiled, "His third aunt, even if he doesn't have a big house, there are other people, our family can't care about this."

"It's good for the second sister-in-law and the second brother to think so. Well, you should make plans early."

What are your early plans?
Naturally, it is the plan after the business cannot continue.

Qiao and Mei talked a few more words casually, and then went home.

After Mrs. Qiao left, Mrs. Mei glanced at the man and said nothing.

Lu Guangzhi ridiculed: "A group of short-sighted people."

Lu Guangyi said: "They are too impatient."

Suddenly there were so many people rushing for business, the business of Erfang and Guiya's family was naturally affected.

Many people who came to buy things told them that soy milk is cheaper than theirs, but this did not dampen the enthusiasm of the two companies to do business.It was Gui Ya who was furious, but with Gui Ya supporting her, she didn't mess up the rules for a while.

After the incident happened, Gui Ya went to Lu Guangyi to express her thanks, and only then did she understand what Brother Lu was talking about.

Don't ask her why she knows, because as long as she has drunk the soy milk made by Lu's second room, she can understand.

What she was grateful for was Lu Guangyi's benevolence. In order to help her, he put his family in the limelight.Because this matter continues to develop, the first to bear the brunt is the Erfang family.

Sure enough, these people who went to the town to grab business in the county only felt something strange after only doing it for ten or so days.

Among them, the Qian family felt the most obvious.

On the first day they came to the town to set up a stall, the business was not very good. They didn't do much, but they were sold out.Immediately afterwards, the business got better and better, and it was not even enough to sell, so that they made more and more soy milk.But this kind of good business didn't last for a few days. Gradually, fewer and fewer people came to their stall to buy soy milk. Steamed buns were originally included, but now they can't even sell steamed buns.

Qian Laoer couldn't bear his temper, so he grabbed a person who had bought soy milk at his stall before and asked him.

They also told him why, and just said that the taste is not right.

But what is wrong with it?

The Qian family scratched their heads in anxiety, and finally came up with an idea.I found a relative that Guiya's family didn't know, and went to their stall to buy a bowl of soy milk to drink.

Try their own soy milk again.

It doesn't taste right, does it?

The Qian family couldn't taste anything, they just thought Guiya's soymilk was very mellow and smooth to the palate.Or Boss Qian drinking clues——

Gui Ya's soy milk has no beany smell, so it tastes very smooth.

A bowl of soy milk was shared by several people, and it had already bottomed out, but I had no choice but to ask people to buy a few bowls back.Taste it seriously, isn't it, there is really no beany smell.

But doesn’t soy milk have a beany smell?

This is the usual understanding of many people. In their minds, can soy milk without beany smell still be called soy milk?
But Gui Ya's soy milk really doesn't have beany smell!
Soymilk without beany smell is like a different model.It looks like soy milk, but it's not soy milk.

At the same time, there are several families who have experienced the experience of the Qian family.

Some people even came out late to set up stalls because they had been hesitant before, and they didn't realize what it was like to have a good business.Not to mention the Monroe bird, but it is also sold very little.

Soy milk can't be kept, it can't be sold on the same day, and it can only be fed to pigs when it comes back.Some people faced this kind of scene because they ruined so many things, and they were very angry after returning home.Some are still persisting, while others quit after only one day.

Gradually, many people stopped torturing, but there are still two that are still insisting.

One is the Qian family, and the other is Da Fang.
