The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 117

After Liu Xian drank some porridge, he was ordered by Yao Chang to rest on the bed, and he refused to let Liu Xian go to watch the night again.This year, Yao Chang's family also bought fireworks, so the upper part of Shuangshui Village was lively for a while, and Pei'an and Aunt Jiang were even more excited. After living most of their lives, this was the first time they saw this novelty.In this regard, the people of Shuangshui Village said that they have long been used to it.

After the new year, Yao Yu went to Jiangzhou. Only then did she know that the sales of sausages she sold to Zhao Wensheng last year were very good. The sausages, because Wangchen Restaurant sold out in just two days.

Since Wangchen Restaurant needs a lot of sausages for cooking, Zhao Wensheng only distributed [-] catties of sausages to Bazhenfang, but they were sold out in two days. Went to buy this sausage.

Yao Yu had to go to the vegetable market to find butchers and order daily pig offal. Fortunately, Yao Yu was generous, so these butchers were willing to keep it for Yao Yu, and they could save a lot of pig offal every day.After returning home, Pei'an was in charge of cleaning the pig offal, Yao Yu and Aunt Jiang took out the stuffing of the sausage, and then everyone sat together to fill the sausage.

Sometimes the speed is fast, the three of them can fill a hundred catties of sausages in one and a half days. Just go to wash the pigs into the water, and they cooperate tacitly.

As for the delivery of sausages, Xie Zhimo has always been in charge. After all, there are a lot of sausages. In addition to Bazhenfang, there is also Wangchen Restaurant every day. Xie Zhimo didn’t go to the martial arts hall until after delivering the sausages. This day was the same as usual. He just arrived at Bazhen After Fang delivered the sausages, he ran into Zhao Wensheng head-on.

"Brother Xie." Seeing Xie Zhimo coming to deliver the sausages, Zhao Wensheng hurried forward to say hello.

Xie Zhimo quickly responded, "Brother Zhao, long time no see." A month ago, Xie Zhimo thought that the two would never meet, but now they are called brothers.

"Isn't that right, what has Brother Xie been up to lately?" Zhao Wensheng asked.

"It's still the same as before. After delivering these sausages, I will go to the martial arts hall." Xie Zhimo said, in fact, he thought about continuing to run darts, but once he did, he would inevitably be away from home for another few months. He is really worried about Jiangzhou's work. The most important thing is that the money he makes from running a dart is not as high as Yaoyu's shop in a few days.

Zhao Wensheng pondered for a while and said, "The imperial court is recruiting troops this year. I wonder if Brother Xie is interested in participating?"

Dayuan has been relatively peaceful in recent years. Occasionally, there will be a few troubles in the surrounding small countries, but they are quickly resolved, so now it is said that it is recruiting troops. In fact, after entering the army, it is relatively idle, and there are not so many battles to fight. , so now many people want to join the army. After a few years, they can have a half-time job when they come out. This leads to the need for connections to get in. Xie Zhimo understands this, "I, forget it."

"Our Zhao family has a quota, but I can't go. If Brother Xie wants to go, you can come to me at any time." Zhao Wensheng said with a smile. His ambition has always been in business, so although the family has this quota, but he If the ambition is not here, it is better to give this quota to those who need it. Zhao Wensheng subconsciously felt that Xie Zhimo would definitely be able to make a name for himself. I'm glad I made the choice.

Xie Zhimo nodded, "Thank you Brother Zhao for your kindness."

Xie Zhimo has been brooding about the Bafang Inn, but what can he do, the county magistrate is behind him, he can understand that people in this society can't compete with officials, unless they meet Lord Qingtian.If he can join the army, he will definitely be able to find an official position when he comes back, and he can help Nuo'er at that time, but once he leaves, what will happen to Yu'er, Xie Zhimo is caught in a tangle.

During the meal, Yao Yu noticed Xie Zhimo's silence, and asked, "What's the matter today, he seems to have something on his mind."

Xie Zhimo thought for a while, and then mentioned to Yao Yu what Zhao Wensheng talked about today.

Yao Yu can guess Xie Zhimo's thoughts, after all, as long as he is a man, most of them are still willing to work hard for their own careers. Although the family is better now, Yao Yu also knows that every time Xie Zhimo sees her taking money, he feels sad "If you want to go, go."

Xie Zhimo didn't expect Yao Yu to support him, his mouth opened in surprise, "Yu'er, I..."

"The family is doing well now. If you go to join the army, Nuo'er's official career may depend on you in the future." Their family only has a little money now, say it's a small money, and the sum is estimated to be tens of thousands of taels of silver. If they go to the capital one day, This amount of money is not enough to look at at all, not to mention that the family does not know anyone who is an official. Once something happens, no one can be relied on.

"Don't worry about the family, Nuoer is very obedient. Now that Mr. Ji is here, you don't have to worry about Nuoer's homework. Xiao Ruirui is also very good, and there are Pei'an and Aunt Jiang. Besides, the second brother and sister-in-law are not alone. Are you there?" Yao Yu continued, "You can go at ease."

Xie Zhimo's eyes slowly turned red, and he wiped away tears with Yao Yu behind his back, "Yu'er, don't worry, I will definitely make a name for myself."

Yao Yu nodded, "I believe you."

Once he made up his mind, Xie Zhimo went to find Zhao Wensheng. Zhao Wensheng didn't expect Xie Zhimo to figure it out so quickly, but he still said happily, "I'll live here first, brother Xie has a bright future."

"Thank you, Brother Zhao." Zhao Wensheng reported Xie Zhimo's list, and Xie Zhimo resigned from the martial arts school, and waited for the news at home with peace of mind.

Yao Yu hasn't been to Jiangzhou recently, and he sews clothes and insoles with Xie Zhimo every day. Although the conditions of the army are not bad, Yao Yu wants to make something with his own hands for Xie Zhimo to bring. Yao Yu knows that Xie Zhimo won't take it from home. Money, so I simply stuffed silver money in the inner coat, and then sewed it up, stuffing a total of more than 2000 taels, thinking that Xie Zhimo will definitely use it in the future.

In March, when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, Xie Zhimo finally packed his bags and followed the team all the way north. Xiao Ruirui still didn't understand the meaning of parting, and was ignorant along the way. Nuoer didn't cry like last time. It's just that the red eyes still betrayed his inner feelings.

"It's a good thing. It's also a good thing that Zhimo can join the army." Yao Chang said.

"Yes, everyone, go back, especially sister-in-law." Liu Xian insisted on sending Xie Zhimo off today, but everyone was sweating.

"Your second brother asked me to stay at home every day, and I got sick from boredom." Ever since Liu Xian became pregnant, Yao Chang was very nervous. He refused to let Liu Xian go to Jiangzhou every day, and Dun Dun was still doing well. Eat, no, the whole body is rounded.

Yao Yu smiled and said, "Second brother is also worried about you, but my sister-in-law can move around every day, which will help in childbirth in the future." Just move around more.

Liu Xian was immediately happy, "Did you hear that? My sister already said that I need to move more."

Yao Chang muttered in a low voice, "But, you are too old."

As soon as Liu Xian heard this, his expression changed, and he asked with his hips on his arms, "Do you think I'm old?"

"No way, no way." Yao Chang said dog-leggedly, "I'm not worried about you."

Yao Yu watched the interaction between the two, and couldn't help laughing. Liu Xian is only 25 years old this year, which is the best age for childbearing, but it's too late in this era.

After Xie Zhimo left, Yao Yu was still a little unaccustomed to it for the first few days, but the busy shop and the production of tofu mold, sauerkraut, chopped pepper, sausage, etc. made Yao Yu unable to think about other things.

In April, on this day, a group of uninvited guests came to Shuangshui Village. When Yao Chang and Liu Xian got married, Yao Chang had been to Yaojia Village, but Yao Chang's parents, Yao Wantang, would not come to Yao Chang's wedding anyway, saying that everyone had already passed away. In the past few days, Yao Wantang heard from somewhere that Yao Chang had settled down in Shuangshui Village and lived a very good life, so he had to think carefully.

"Yao Chang! Open the door for me quickly." Yao Wantang led a group of people from Yaojia Village to Shuangshui Village. Once he entered Shuangshui Village and found out where Yao Chang lived, he went straight here.

Yao Chang was feeding the ducks, when he heard the shouts from outside, he went to open the door. As soon as the door was opened, Yao Wantang pushed it from the outside, and rushed in with a large group of people, cursing, "Why are you so slow?" .”

"Father?" Yao Chang looked at Yao Wantang, he really didn't expect Yao Wantang to come to Shuangshui Village, "Why did you come here?"

"Why, why don't I want to come and have a look?" Yao Wantang wandered around the yard as he said that, it seemed that the rumors were true, Yao Chang had still made some money in the past few years.

Yao Chang didn't speak, Yao Wantang finished looking at the house, and then said, "Before you got married, we didn't come, it's really our fault."

A look of surprise flashed in Yao Chang's eyes. His father didn't seem like someone who would say such things. Liu Xian came out of the house and saw that there was a new group of people in the family. person is?"

Seeing Liuxian coming, Yao Chang hurried to Liuxian's side, helped her to sit on the stool, and then explained, "These are from Yaojia Village."

Liu Xian knew that Yao Chang and Yao Yu came from Yaojia Village, but she and Yao Chang got married that day, and no one from Yaojia Village came. I don't know what these people are doing today. Liu Xian sat on a stool, Not a word.

Seeing Yao Chang being so considerate to a woman, like a little man, Yao Wantang felt even more displeased, "That's right, I heard you made a lot of money."

When Yao Chang heard that Yao Wantang raised the money, his heart sank. His parents loved money most in their life, otherwise they would not have sold Yao Yu to Xie's family for money. Thinking of this, Yao Chang's tone Hardened, "Since Dad mentioned the word money, I still want to ask, why did Mom and Dad sell Yu'er to someone for a ghost marriage?"

This was the first time Liu Xian heard about Yu'er's marriage, and she was startled, only then did she realize that Yao Yu's marriage to Xie Zhimo was a ghost marriage.
