Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 132

Liu Shi was taken aback, and supported her in disbelief, "Yaoyao, what did you say?"

Xiuyao wiped her tears, endured the pain and told about the Hequ.

Mrs. Liu was stunned, she wiped away her tears, "It's a crime. Does the Tizi family know?"

Xiuyao shook her head, "I don't know either, I was sent back by someone else." She also talked about the guards overseeing the work there, saying that Qi Feng was there and he sent her back.

Mrs. Liu sighed, "You child, Qi Feng has helped so much, why don't you let him come and sit at home? It's so sad to walk at night in this cold night." The old man who met on the road Huang Liliu's family is no longer afraid, and Qi Feng has Li Cunjiu to advise him, so the matter has been suppressed for a long time, and outsiders naturally can't find out anything.He also had a land lease relationship with Lao Liutou's family, and Lao Liutou heard that he was good, so Liu's naturally had a good impression.

Xiuyao said: "They're busy, if something like this didn't happen, they wouldn't care about it."

Liu Shi said: "I knew I shouldn't have let you go." It's just that no one expected this to happen. Before, Qin Dafu would go to see Qin Ye and Qin Ergui and give them something, and such a thing never happened.

"I don't know if the Tizi family knows about it." Mrs. Liu sighed.

At night, Xiuyao couldn't sleep well. She dreamed of a big bang, an earthquake, Qi Feng's face was covered with blood, and her elder brother was hit by a stone. She woke up suddenly. She didn't understand why she dreamed of Qi Feng wind.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dawn, and my aunt was sitting on the kang knitting gloves.

In order to let her sleep for a while, no one called her. Seeing that she woke up, Xiurong said: "I'll bring you a meal."

Xiuyao hurriedly got up, "No need, I'm going to get up." She looked, but mother was not there, and asked, "Did mother go to Brother Tizi's house?"

Xiurong nodded, "I sent it back early in the morning, and the ladder's daughter-in-law was crying like crazy." Xiuyao remembered that the second brother Xu said that the ladder crossed the boundary and went there before being hit by a stone. If his wife doesn't go, don't avoid it. People, will it be different?

His daughter-in-law must regret it and blame herself to death.

Mrs. Liu didn't come back until noon, she looked very tired, she had been helping at Tizi's house all morning, and had to go there after dinner.Tizi's house was in a hurry, full of wailing, his parents scolded the new daughter-in-law as a bastard, and killed their son as soon as they walked through the door.The old couple discussed about getting rid of their daughter-in-law, but later changed their minds and asked her to be a widow for their son, and there was a lot of trouble.

My family members and close neighbors all went to help, as did Uncle Zhou, Zhou Suren, Zhou Qiang and others.It is said that there was no work-related injury fee for the ladder, and he crossed the boundary to the blast zone in violation of the rules, and was killed because he trespassed without permission.However, Qi Feng did not know how to report him as a work-related injury, and asked for a work-related injury fee of 20 taels of silver, which was issued in the joint name of the county government and Hedao.

When the mourning hall of Tizi's family was finished, Xiuyao followed Mrs. Liu to kowtow to her. On the day of Tizi's burial, it snowed heavily again, so Mrs. Liu didn't allow her to go so as not to catch a cold and get sick.

When Xiuyao came back, her feet were a little cold, and they were in pain, and when it was hot, she felt uncomfortably itchy.Fortunately, it was only a little bit frozen, so Liu Shi used the eggplant stems and roots, chopped it up and boiled it in a pot, and scalded her feet until it was rotten.

I scalded it a few times in a row, but thanks to the considerate and timely care, it was healed and did not continue to be severe, and there was no scar left.Thinking of her elder brother's hand, Xiuyao felt a little distressed, it was so severe, she was afraid that it would not be cured for a while, and it would happen again in the next year.

So we must work hard to make money so that the family will no longer suffer.

A few days later, Uncle Liu and Liu Qi came to pick up Liu Xu in a donkey cart. The nineteenth day of the winter solstice was an auspicious day, and on that day Liu Xu was sent to Sun's house in a sedan chair.After Sun Dacheng went home, he had already discussed it, so he postponed the bride's arrival on the grounds of his illness, and now he made up the wedding.However, there were naturally fewer people watching the ceremony, and Liu Xu didn't care anyway.

Mrs. Liu thought that Xiuyao might be frightened, and she was restless these days, so she asked her to go to her grandmother's house with her aunt, and then went home after her sister-in-law got on the sedan chair and passed the door, and asked Qin Yang to continue studying at her grandmother's house. The money is gone, let him go home and study again.Anyway, such a big child can't help when he goes home. It's better to let him study with him to lay a solid foundation.And when he got home, he would have to be found by Mrs. Zhang, instigating this and that all day long.

Xiuyao was naturally willing to go to her grandparents' house, because her grandparents were very haggard because of the aunt's affairs, but fortunately, the matter was resolved, and they were happy again. The daughter's marriage was finally resolved well!The old couple let out a long sigh of relief.

Originally, Lao Liutou and Li Shi wanted to help the Qin family, but Xiuyao refused.They are building a mill, and they are related to their children, and their family savings are almost exhausted, so they can only wait for the pigs to be raised.

Xiuyao helped her grandfather settle the accounts, married Liu Xia at the beginning of the year, Liu Yun at the beginning of October, and her aunt in the winter solstice month, and had to give cousin Liu Sheng a betrothal gift.All of these things cost a lot of money even for marriage, which is a heavy burden for ordinary people.Grandpa has a bit of face, and he doesn't want others to look down on him. Granddaughters and grandchildren are all the same, so it costs more money.

And according to Liu Fei quietly told her, grandpa still borrowed money, and now the family probably doesn't have much money.So when grandma gave her money and asked her to take it back to her mother, Xiuyao resolutely refused, saying that in the next year they would raise pigs together at the mill, which was considered to be a favor to her family, and there was no need to help the money. Mrs. Li and Lao Liutou It has to be like this.

After her aunt got married, Xiuyao asked Liu Fei to take her home, and brought home some dried sweet potatoes and dates, and now there are not many fresh sweet potatoes at her mother's house, and they were dried into sweet potatoes and dates according to Xiuyao's request, and the rest were dried. It is dried sweet potatoes, and most of them are also ground into sweet potato powder, which will be fed to pigs in the coming year.

As soon as Xiuyao came home, Xiurong said excitedly: "Yaoyao, you are back, we have business, but you are not at home, we dare not pick you up, we are waiting for you."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Why do you have to have me? You, mother and eldest sister are the ones to decide."

Xiurong said: "That can't be done, this time it's a big deal, guess who it is?"

Xiuyao guessed incorrectly several times, and finally shook her head and said, "Then how would I know?"

Liu Fei over there was also very curious. He was also happy for them when he heard that sweet potatoes and dates could be exchanged for money.

Seeing that she was almost amused, Xiurong revealed the answer, "It was the time we went to the market, do you still remember that there was a man in a cotton robe, it was him, do you know who he is?"

here we go again!Xiuyao had a headache and said, "Third Sister, you can finish it all at once. I'm not a platinum star, so how can I pinch and count?"

Xiurong smiled and said: "That person is the shopkeeper of Feng's family in the county, that is, the Feng's family that our mother went to, the one that embroidered insoles for them."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Third sister, I see, it's the Feng family." Besides them, there are several other Feng families, it seems that the third sister is very happy.

Xiuyao also thought of that person. He was the first person to buy Fudou in the market, but he never appeared again after buying a catty, so Xiuyao didn't pay attention to it. If he wasn't the first to buy, And if he bought a catty, Xiuyao would not remember him. "Did he say when he'll be back?"

Xiurong said: "He said that if you come back, you can send a letter to Uncle Zhou or Zhou Qiang's house, and he will come over and talk to us when he receives the letter."

Xiuyao didn't want to go to Uncle Zhou's house, so she chose to go to Zhou Qiang's house.She delivered a letter to Zhou Qiang's house, and when she came back for dinner, Liu Fei was about to leave.When Liu Fei left, Mrs. Liu also packed up a few pairs of gloves for him to take back, so they were just warm enough to wear while grinding.

After breakfast the next day, Xiuyao helped the elder sister spin the yarn while the others knit gloves, when someone knocked on the door.

Xiuyao ran to open the door, and when she saw a man wearing a cotton robe, a big cloak, and a thick hat covering her ears, she smiled and said, "It's Shopkeeper Feng."

Shopkeeper Feng smiled, "Exactly, Miss Qin Si, you are back."

Xiuyao hurriedly invited him in, "Shopkeeper Feng, you can call me Xiuyao, but please don't call me that." She is just an ordinary peasant girl, so there is no need to call her "Miss", besides, she thinks it is more friendly to be called by her first name. .

Shopkeeper Feng is as good as others, "Xiuyao, then you can call me Uncle Feng, let's get closer." If you want to talk about business, it is also good to play the emotional card.

Xiuyao called Uncle Feng sweetly, and asked him to stay warm in the room.

Shopkeeper Feng said with a smile: "Please go to Zhou Qiang's house to talk with Mrs. Liu, their house is warmer and they still have tea."

Xiuyao knew that he was trying to avoid suspicion, and was grateful for his thoughtfulness, so she went into the room and told Liu Shi.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "My shopkeeper Feng is a kind person, I still want to invite him to your grandfather's place." After speaking, he untied his apron, and said to Xiuqin: "Xiuqin, take care of the house, let's go and have a look. "

Xiuqin agreed and told them to just go.

Mrs. Liu took her two daughters, Xiuyao and Xiurong, to meet shopkeeper Feng, and after a few greetings, they went to Zhou Qiang's house.

Zhou Qiang's family is naturally not comparable to Uncle Zhou's family, but compared to poor families like the Qin family, it is much better, and it is also richer than ordinary families.They are a small courtyard house with a spacious garden and a tall and long screen wall, which separates the south house into an outer courtyard.

On weekdays, when neighbors come to visit, they all go to sit on the kang in the main house, and women and men get close to each other.But now it is shopkeeper Feng, a guest from the county, Zhou Qiang invites him to drink tea in the reception room of the south room.

Several people greeted each other, exchanged pleasantries, and talked about the tragedy of the river canal, and they all sighed.

Shopkeeper Feng said: "To tell you the truth, our lord and old lady even sent someone to check it out. Our second mistress was even more kind-hearted and sent us to deliver the wound medicine. It was there that I saw someone wearing gloves, so , and just explored here.”

He saw Xiuyao's Fudou when he was wandering around the market before, but he was not interested in this kind of snack at the time. Although it was delicious, it was only mediocre.Later, he wandered around casually, and found that there were many food markets in many places. Everyone liked the food, but the price was a little expensive, the sales volume was limited, and it was only for children, so there was no big movement.But after he took it back, the second grandma and the others liked it, and said that they could entertain the children during the Chinese New Year, and they also have a shop at home, so they can sell it in the shop.The most important thing is that their shops usually do wholesale business, and those vendors from neighboring villages go to the shop to get goods, and then go to the market or sell along the street.If they can discuss with the shippers and hand over all the goods to them in the future, the sales will be greater and everyone will earn more.

Another thing is that when he went to Hequ, he happened to see Qi Feng wearing a pair of gloves. He thought it was very good after looking at it. He wanted to borrow it back to study how to make it, but Qi Feng was reluctant to give it to him. He only introduced him as Taoyuan. It was made by a girl named Qin Xiuyao from the Qin family.
