Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 141
A Guiwei bowed his body and replied: "I see! It's the fourth house past our house!"

"It's so close! Then, let's go and have a look after dinner! It would be even better if there is a place to live in the back!" Xu Xiaomi said pleasantly.

"That's fine! Let's go and see together later!" Agui said.

Yu Zhimo was also very happy, because with Xu Xiaomi around, he could often eat Xu Xiaomi's meals!

However, Xu Xiaomi was so worried that it was going to rain!The vegetables in Wulipo were not picked, and it was said that they would be sent to the capital for sale in two days.

The grain and grass sent to Dingzhou were not arranged, so Qiu Yongzheng should be waiting there urgently, right?Xu Xiaoting's fabric workshop decoration must be indispensable to her.

Xu Xiaomi lamented in her heart: Alas!Why did it all come together?It's so frustrating!
However, no matter how worried she was, she still had to do the same thing.After lunch, Xu Xiaomi followed Agui and took Xu Xiaoting to the fancy shop.

It was a house with two storefronts connected together, and the gate was raised on boards one by one.Agui led them to the back door and asked to open it.

An old woman with gray hair, red and swollen eyes and wrinkled face stepped out.At first glance, her eyes were injured by the tung oil lamp from the embroidered flowers.

She stood at the door and looked at them carefully, but she still didn't recognize Agui, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Agui walked up to her and said, "Sister-in-law Qin, it's me! The butler of Doctor Yu's house! Agui! I came this morning and said I want to buy your house."

"Oh! It's Brother Agui! Come in quickly! Who are these two?"

The old lady Qin let them into the house, took them to the door and asked.

"They're the ones who want to buy a house! Tell me!"

Ah Gui replied.

"Oh! Girl, it's like this. Look at my eyes. Now I shed tears when I see bright colors. I used to open an embroidery workshop, but now I can't do it. My daughter is in the county. I have been asked to go to her place a long time ago. .

However, I am reluctant to part with this house. This time, my daughter told me to sell it, so as not to worry about this house at any time.

I also told Brother Agui that all this house will be sold at a low price of 30 taels. If you think it is suitable, you can pay the money with one hand and the house deed with one hand!Do you like it? "

Xu Xiaomi listened to Mrs. Qin and looked at the house.

The house is not bad, with a yard at the back, four rooms, a kitchen and a hut.Originally, people also integrated home and business.

The two shops in front are also quite spacious, but the cloth on the wall is not decorated, because it has been left unattended for too long.This house is 30 taels of silver, in the words of Mrs. Qin, if she was not in a hurry to go to her daughter, she would really be reluctant to sell it.

After seeing it, Xu Xiaomi decided to buy it immediately, and immediately took out the bank note to Mrs. Qin, who turned around and gave her the deed.

The handover procedure was handled by Xu Xiaomi himself, and Xu Xiaomi readily agreed!
Holding the deed, Xu Xiaomi led Xu Xiaoting out of the courtyard with Agui.Mrs. Qin hurriedly gave Xu Xiaomi a bunch of keys, turned around and went back, saying, "I'll be leaving this afternoon!"

Xu Xiaoting looked at the deed happily and said, "Sister! This house is really nice. There are four rooms that can be used by people. When the time comes, my parents will live in one room, my grandparents will live in one room, and I will live in one room for myself. I can also leave it to you." One room!"

Xu Xiaomi looked at her innocent sister, gave her a blank look and said, "I'll squeeze with you, and I'll leave the other room for workers far away! After a while, my sister will buy another house, so I don't have to share with you." Squeezed!"

Xu Xiaoting listened to her sister's words. Although her sister gave her a blank look just now, she still smiled and said: "Yes! My sister is thoughtful."

The house has been bought, and Xu Xiaoting has a few things missing here.Just let my father find someone to decorate it.

In the afternoon, Xu Xiaomi and Xu Xiaoting appeared in the vegetable garden in Wulipo.She looked at what she explained, and dug out the potatoes and radishes.

It's just that they haven't been washed, Xu Xiaomi has thought about it, these two dishes are not washed, and they will be washed when they are transported to the capital, so they will look fresh.

She asked Xu Xiaoting to go to Qinglong Town to find someone to help pick the vegetables, and she joined the army of harvesting vegetables.

She arranged for the existing people to chop off the cabbage and put them away, and waited for Xu Xiaoting to call someone to step on the lotus root in the fish pond.

Xu Xiaomi and the two couples who bought it to look at the vegetable garden were busy chopping cabbage.Xu Xiaoting had already applied for time before bringing in a dozen or so people.

Seeing that it was too late, Xu Xiaomi asked the ten or so people to chop vegetables together, and let's step on the lotus root tomorrow!If you step on it at this time, you won't be able to step on it much.

How many people are so powerful!In more than an hour, sixteen people chopped down more than ten mu of cabbage.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Xiaomi yelled to call it a day!Everyone put down the cabbage in their hands.Followed Xu Xiaomi and left the vegetable field.

In the evening, those who help chop vegetables have dinner with the two couples who watch the yard.Xu Xiaomi took Xu Xiaoting back to Xujiacun.

Back home, Xu Xiaoting told her grandparents and parents about buying a house.

They all thought that the house was bought cheaply, saying that Xu Xiaomi and the others were lucky!

Xu Xiaomi also thought so, and said that he needed to find someone to paint the wall with lime.Then pull some furniture over there, and people can live there.

The next morning, before dawn, Xu Xiaomi asked Xu Erqiang to find Xu Yaowu and asked him to find some people to help decorate the house.

She herself drove eight wooden oxen, dragged a few carts of furniture, pots and pans, and took her sister, mother, grandparents, and went to Qinglong Town.

When they arrived at the newly bought house, Xu Xiaomi moved all the furniture on the wooden cow and the cart into the back room, and moved the pots and pans into the kitchen.

When Xu Xiaomi finished everything, Xu Erqiang brought Xu Yaowu and six or seven village plasterers.

Xu Xiaomi asked Xu Xiaoting to drive the two wooden cows back to Xujia Village, to the lime kiln by the river, and let the lime-burning slaves there bring a few baskets of lime to the new house.

Xu Xiaoting rode a wooden ox on the street, and it was almost noon.

There were a lot of people on the street, and those with good deeds saw that the wooden cow could walk, so they stretched out their hands thinking they could stop it.

Xu Xiaoting sat on the back of the wooden ox and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I stepped on you..."

The person blocking the way laughed loudly and said, "Haha...you can step on me with just a few pieces of wood? Haha..."

Seeing that he refused to listen, Xu Xiaoting jumped down and dragged the unreasonable man's sleeve to the side.

The man refused, threw off Xu Xiaoting and ran to Mu Niu again.Xu Xiaoting was thrown to the ground by the man wearing the black gauze hat, and her buttocks hurt deeply from the fall.I didn't get up for a long time!
Before Xu Xiaoting could cry out, she heard a cry of pain, "Ah! Ouch!"

Xu Xiaoting heard that she was so anxious that she couldn't care about the pain in her buttocks, she turned up all of a sudden, and saw that the man in the victorian hat had been knocked to the ground by the wooden bull.He was still lying there, clutching his sore arm and screaming!
Xu Xiaoting was about to walk over to pull the man up, but was held back by a hand. She turned her head and saw that it was Zeng Qiu from Kaibuzhuang who was looking at her and smiling!
"Don't go there, he is looking for death, no wonder you, let's go!"

After speaking, she pulled Xu Xiaoting and walked forward without looking again. The man in the David hat who was knocked down by the wooden bull took a look.

Zeng Qiu knew that the wooden ox would not wander around, so he could leave it alone for the time being.

Xu Xiaoting knew Zeng Qiu very well!During Xu Xiaoting's four years of learning embroidery, Zeng Qiu cared a lot about her.Often give her something to eat and play.

Today's Zeng Qiu is nearly twenty years old but has not married a wife for a long time.Matchmakers from far and near have also visited hundreds of times.However, none of the girls were lucky enough to be in his favor.

The Zeng family's cloth shop business is getting better and better, because Zeng Qiu often goes to Xujia Village to deliver cloth to Xu Xiaomi.

Therefore, everyone in Xujia Village who knew Zeng Qiu now went to his house to buy cloth.However, Xujia Village is now the wealthiest village in Qinglong Town.

As a result, the cloth shop of Zeng Qiu's family had to mobilize the whole family to keep busy during festivals.

Zeng Qiu passed the examination last year, and is preparing to enter the palace examination this autumn.

Zeng Qiu pulled Xu Xiaoting along and asked, "Xiaoting, what are you doing here?"

Xu Xiaoting told him about buying a shop in Qinglong Town and about planning to decorate it now.

After hearing this, Zeng Qiu said happily: "This is really great. I will help you get in whatever cloth you want in the future. We can also cooperate to open a large cloth art workshop in the county town."

"Brother Zeng! About going to the county town to open a shop, my sister said that I can manage it myself. Now I am too young, my sister asked me to learn to open it in Qinglong Town."

Xu Xiaoting said after listening to Zeng Qiu's words.

When Zeng Qiu heard that it was the fairy in his mind, he quickly agreed and said, "That's right! Your sister is right, Xiao Ting must listen to her. Your sister is more capable than a man."

Xu Xiaoting nodded and replied, "Yes! My sister knows everything and can do everything. She is the person Xiaoting admires the most!"

"Worship? What... mean?"

Zeng Qiu heard the new term Xu Xiaoting learned from Xu Xiaomi, repeated it, and asked in a low voice with some embarrassment.

Xu Xiaoting didn't expect that a learned person like Zeng Qiu would not know what "worship" means?But, calm down and think about it, I don't know it either!
"Brother Zeng, actually, this is what my sister said, I! I don't know what it means."

Xu Xiaoting said with a guilty conscience.

The two talked while walking, and when they reached the gate of the west city, Mu Niu also came out.

After Xu Xiaoting and Zeng Qiu waved goodbye, they rode the wooden ox again and headed towards Xujia Village.

Xu Xiaomi asked Xu Xiaoting to go back to Xujia Village to carry lime, but she went to Wulipo to help step on lotus roots.

Stepping on the lotus root is not something that can be done quickly.It has to be lowered into the fish pond and dug out of the mud.

Xu Xiaomi sold all the fish in the fish pond in the county town during the Chinese New Year. Now there are only a few hundred fish fry in one ditch in the pond.

Seeing big men taking off their trousers and digging lotus roots in the mud, Xu Xiaomi felt that it was inappropriate for her to be there, and there were quite a lot of lotus roots on the shore.

Just tell the two couples who guard the vegetable garden that she will come to pay the wages in the afternoon.Just dig in the morning and it will be fine!
