The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 29 Rejection
Yao Yu didn't even look at Mrs. Zhou, and went straight back to the house, and began to prepare breakfast. Nuoer woke up just after the breakfast was ready. I don't know if it was because of the smell of the food or because she woke up naturally when the time came. After a period of food supplementation, Nuo'er has indeed grown taller, and has flesh on her body, and she no longer looks thin, weak and malnourished.

"Wake up, come and eat quickly." Yao Yu put the meal away.

Nuoer dressed herself, washed her face and hands, and sat down obediently at the table to eat. This habit was also developed after Yao Yu. She must wash her hands before eating and wash her face when she wakes up early.

After eating, Yao Yu took the empty jar and fishing rod, took Nuoer to the river, and delivered fish to Bafang Inn for a month. Xie Zhimo can sell at least fifty or sixty catties of fish every day , Sometimes you can sell 20 catties of fish a day, and you can earn [-] taels of silver in a month.

In Shuangshui Village, it is indeed enough. Besides, the house has already reached the finishing work, and there will be less money to spend in the future. Thinking about the future, Yao Yu is full of expectations, so he didn't notice the person following her for a while. people.

Yao Yu and Nuoer filled up a jar of fish and began to move the fish to the new house. After Xie Zhimo sold the fish, he would drive the ox cart here, and when he went back at night, he would move the fish back to the old house, and then Send it to the Bafang Inn early in the morning on the second day, which saves time and effort.

Zhang Dehou saw Yao Yu walking towards this side carrying the jar, so he hurried forward to help, "This house can be completed in about ten days, and my brothers and sisters won't have to work so hard in the future."

Yao Yu smiled, and now the daily life is like this, after catching fish, he will come over to make lunch, after finishing, he will go back to the old house to get an empty jar, continue fishing for an afternoon, and then make dinner. There is time to rest, "no hard work." For Yao Yu, hard work is inevitable for a better life in the future, and fishing is actually a kind of relaxation.

Ten days passed by in a flash, Yao Yu felt a little amused when she saw Xie Zhimo who was coming out to grow seasonings in a circle behind the house, she just mentioned it casually, after moving, there was no place to grow onions, ginger and garlic, Unexpectedly, when Xie Zhimo came, he opened a piece of land behind the new house.

Zhang Dehou calculated the date and said that October [-]th was suitable for moving, that is, the day after tomorrow. Xie Zhimo and Yao Yu didn't have many friends in Shuangshui Village. Since Xie Zhimo knew that he was not the Xie family's biological child, he didn't bother to hang out with the Xie family again, so The two talked to Li Zheng's family, Li Dalin's family, and the fifth son. Of course, Zhang Dehou and his brothers would also come over.

"I'll go to town with you tomorrow." The food and drink for the banquet the next day have not been prepared yet. When Xie Zhimo goes to sell fish tomorrow, Yao Yu plans to stop by to buy some vegetables. Meat is a must. Besides pork, he also needs to buy chicken , Eggs are also indispensable, a few fish will be left, meat must be enough, there are vegetables in the vegetable garden, lard is almost gone, and there are rice and fine noodles.By the way, you must also buy wine. Except for Sister Fengzhen and Lizheng's daughter-in-law, those who will come tomorrow are all men, so drink some wine to have fun.

"Okay." Xie Zhimo saw that Yao Yu didn't respond after answering. Looking back, he didn't know what Yao Yu was counting on his fingers, so he asked amusedly, "What are you counting?"

"I'm counting the things I need to buy tomorrow." Fortunately, there is still enough money. Winter is coming soon. It seems that the way to make money will have to wait until next year. Yao Yu sighed, but fortunately, there is enough money for selling fish now.

Seeing Yao Yu sigh, Xie Zhimo only thought that Yao Yu was worried about the banquet the day after tomorrow, "Why don't we invite a master to do the banquet?"

"No need, there are only three tables of dishes, I can handle it." Yao Yu said, "Okay, I'm going fishing, and I will try to give some more tomorrow." This way, we can sell more.

Don’t worry about the firewood at home. After the house was built, Zhang Dehou’s group spontaneously went to the mountain to collect a lot of firewood. These firewood can be burned all winter. After Xie Zhimo planted the onion, ginger and garlic, he also went to the mountain , to see if I can get some good stuff.

In the early morning of the second day, after Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo sent Nuoer to Li Dalin's house, they went to the town. Xie Zhimo went directly to Dongshi to sell fish, and Yao Yu went straight to the vegetable market. Xie Zhimo came over with a black face, "What's the matter?" Yao Yu asked.

"Bafang Inn won't take the fish we haul." Xie Zhimo replied, saying that shopkeeper Wen is not a good person, and it really is.

"No?" Yao Yu was shocked, "Why?"

"I don't know." Xie Zhimo shook his head.

"Have you seen Shopkeeper Wen?" Yao Yu asked.

Xie Zhimo continued to shake his head.

"Let's go, let's go to Bafang Inn again." Yao Yu put the pork he bought on the bullock cart, and went to Bafang Inn with Xie Zhimo.

Seeing that Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo had returned, the waiter in the shop said angrily, "I told you, we won't take this fish."

Yao Yu frowned, "Is Shopkeeper Wen here?"

"Yes, but the shopkeeper is too busy to see you." The waiter said impatiently, "Let's go."

Yao Yuxin froze, and gave the shop waiter [-] Wen, "Please ask the waiter to tell us why you didn't accept this fish?"

The waiter took the money, and then said, "It's not what I want to do, it's the shopkeeper Wen who said you come again, you're welcome."

"Do you know the reason?" Yao Yu continued to ask, no wonder the store waiter's attitude changed so much today.

The shop clerk thought for a while, "It seems that a few days ago, someone came to sell fish for eight cents a catty, and they were all killed well. Every time you send them alive, the internal organs take up a lot of weight. Of course the shopkeeper doesn't like it, well, I'm going to work, so you guys can go too."

Yao Yu took a look at Bafang Inn and sent live fish here so that Bafang Inn could use fresh fish to make fish cakes and fish jellies, which would be more tasty and delicious. Unexpectedly, not only did they not appreciate it, but they also felt that they had taken it from them. Cheap.

However, Yao Yu began to think, who knew about their fish sale?
Xie Zhimo, who was beside Yao Yu, also heard what the shop waiter said, looked at the two jars of fish, and said with regret in his voice, "Otherwise we will kill the fish and sell it for eight cents a catty?"

"No need." Yao Yu said firmly, "This is the end of our friendship with Bafang Inn, and we will definitely not have any cooperation in the future. Let's take this fish back and use it for the banquet tomorrow."

"Okay." Xie Zhimo immediately agreed, for him anyway, what Yao Yu said was right.

The two bought everything together, and before leaving, Yao Yu went to buy another lock, and then returned to Shuangshui Village. The two went to pick up Nuo'er first, "Take Nuo'er back first, I have something to say to Feng. Miss Jane said."

Xie Zhimo heard the words, carried Nuo'er to the bullock cart, and went home first.Wang Fengzhen looked at Yao Yu. It has only been half a year. He will move to a new house tomorrow. It would be a lie to say that he is not envious. "What do you want to tell me, sister? Come in and talk slowly."

"No need, I have a way to make money, but it's a little hard work, is Sister Feng Zhen going to do it?" Yao Yu asked.

Wang Fengzhen looked at Yao Yu with wide eyes, "Here, can you say that?" There is a way to make money in the village, but they all cover it up, for fear that others will find out.

Yao Yu looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he whispered, "The Bafang Inn in Hehua Town collects fish for eight cents a catty. You can get them in the river every day and deliver them to the town the next day."

"Really, really?" Wang Fengzhen was a little surprised. There are no fish sellers in this town. Will they definitely accept the fish they catch?

"Don't worry, I will definitely collect it in the next month, but I can't guarantee it for a long time." Yao Yu said, after all, the shopkeeper Wen is greedy for immediate benefits, and he will definitely make a lot of fish cakes. Besides, the fish used are not fresh. After a long time, he is willing There are fewer repeat customers, "I'll go back first, it's up to Sister Fengzhen whether I do it or not."

Now that this way of making money has been leaked, Yao Yu doesn't want to do it, so of course she has to tell someone she trusts. Besides, it won't last long to make a living by selling fish. , why not do it, besides, the fish are in the river, which is equivalent to the money they earn for free!

When he reached the door of the house, he realized that Xie Zhimo hadn't entered the house yet. Yao Yu stepped forward curiously, and saw Zhou's face full of embarrassment, "It turns out that the fish tank is full of fish. Why did the third brother buy so many fish?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, they're still alive." Yao Yu was dazzled by the smug look in Zhou's eyes.

"Hey, I said Mrs. Zhou, what time is it now, and you haven't cooked for Zhuzi and Shuanzi yet." Yao Yu said without curiosity, "This fish doesn't even belong to your family."

"Cut, it's just a few rotten fish, I don't care about it." Zhou's goal has already been achieved, and he doesn't bother to argue with Yao Yu now. Besides, Zhou has also found out. Nothing will end well.

Xie Zhimo looked at Zhou's back, "I have always thought that my sister-in-law is unknown." Why did she suddenly become like this today, as if she came to see them laughing.

"That's just an appearance, your sister-in-law is smart." Xie Zhimo used to think that the Zhou family was unknown because Xie Zhicai didn't make much money, and everyone in the Xie family had to rely on Xie Zhimo. Of course, the Zhou family would be obedient in front of Xie Zhimo, but now it's different, Xie Zhimo Being despised by the Xie family, Zhou has no reason to treat him like before.

Moreover, if Yao Yu's guess is correct, the eight penny-a-jin fish came from the hands of the Zhou family, and it is unknown when they discovered it, but Yao Yu did not plan to do this business for a long time.

Yao Yu and Xie Zhimo tidied up the things in the house, but there was nothing to tidy up. Yao Yu didn't plan to take the clothes, table, and these beddings away. Anyway, they bought new ones at the new house.

On the contrary, Xie Zhimo is a little bit reluctant, after all, he has lived for so many years, and it is not a lie to say that he has no feelings at all.

"It's okay, if you want to come back, you can come anytime." Yao Yu comforted.

Xie Zhimo shook his head. He really doesn't have any good memories of Xie's family and this place. Besides, as soon as they move out tomorrow, there will definitely be people living here.
