Chapter 151 The Hard-to-Sell Peaches

Building bridges in Zhuangzi is considered a major event. There is a group of people at the end of the second uncle's yard. Under the leadership of Li Dequan and Dalin, they pick out those trees. Lulu is not chaotic.

There was also a group of people who went into the forest to pull trees back. Li Dequan was always worried. Those who came in and out always warned, "Be careful when chopping wood. We rely on mountains to eat mountains. Don't try to make things convenient for the whole area." Cut it all down, cut down one tree at a time, and it will grow back after two years, so there is no limit."

Those people naturally smiled and agreed, and some people came back and said strange things in the forest, "There is a ravine, we looked down from the top, but it looked like it had been burned, the bottom was full of weeds, and the stones were all black. Yes, I don’t know if it was the skyfire two years ago, it looks like Guodigou or Hulugou, that place must never be entered.”

Gu Yu's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and she turned to look for An Jinxuan. Seeing him busy there with others, she didn't seem to hear him, but her heart twitched for a while, thinking that she was still a little scared back then. I would never go to that ditch if I was looking for fairy fruit. I also met a snake, and then the fire broke out, and I almost died.

As if thinking of something, Gu Yu went to dig out the jar where he kept his money for a long time, and took out an ordinary pebble.She touched it, smiled again, and was filled with emotions for a moment. This stone was picked up by her back then. The stones in Hulugou were full of rocks on the ground. Back then, An Jinxuan walked on them with such a pair of feet. Being stabbed so badly, Gu Yu looked at the bloody footprints on the ground, put a stone in his pocket, took it back and put it in the jar where he saved money.If someone hadn't mentioned it today, she herself wouldn't want to think about such a thing.

It is not so easy to build a bridge, even if it is just a simple small wooden bridge. Not to mention that the piles at the bottom of the river are difficult to drive down, and even God does not seem to help, and it rains from time to time.

The repair of the bridge was dragged on for a while, and finally it was completed.

On the same day, Chen Yongyu used the remaining money from selling peaches in previous years to ask people to buy a lot of firecrackers, and let them go cracklingly, and people came and went on the bridge for a while.

The rice had turned yellow, and the peaches in the peach grove were already ripe. The rain had been going on for quite a while, and there was no longer any delay. Chen Yongyu went out with a few men to find business.For so many years, there was only one time when the Ning's family used up all the peaches. The rest of the peaches were carried by people in the village with bullock carts and carried on their shoulders in the town. The peaches are distributed to each household.

This year's bridge repair is different. It's agreed that everyone won't distinguish between peaches, and there will be a lot of peaches to sell in a short time. Chen Yongyu and Li Dejiang don't care about the thresher business. After all, this Ripe peaches wait for no one, and it rains a lot, if they can't be sold, they will rot in the field.

For a while, everyone didn't need any wages, and consciously took turns. A group of people went out carrying peaches every day. Women and children who couldn't afford it would just pick peaches at home.

Mrs. Zhang cheated once, and was beaten by Dehai chasing after Man Zhuangzi. This time, he didn't dare to do anything. Li Xia went to pick it, but Li Qiu heard that he was embroidering things at home, so he didn't go out.

It was funny when Li He said it. When Guo Yu and the others came here, they told Wang not to pick peaches. The baby will be done, anyway, I don’t need you alone, and you don’t have a penny, so why bother to suffer.”

Wang smiled and did not refute, and went as usual when it was time to go.It's not easy for her to talk to Li He's face to face, and it's funny when she talks to Xu's and Jiang's while picking peaches. The one who delivered the bullock cart was dragged down, this is what the big guys are looking at, and it’s not a little bit of strength, it’s not the duty of a person to steal and play tricks.”

Jiang scolded, "I knew there was nothing good about that old bastard muttering, but she was able to say such a thing to you, and it didn't mean that she regarded you as one of her own, or you would take Xia Zhi with you at home." Forget it, anyway, Xia Zhi, a ghost, is better at coaxing people than Gu Yu, how about Gu Yu and her grandma being so happy to walk through this yard?"

Several people chatted and laughed while picking peaches, and quickly picked a few baskets of peaches.

Li Dejiang hurriedly told everyone to stop, "I can't pick any more, I just don't know if I can sell them."

Everyone dispersed and went home, but when they returned to the yard, they heard a burst of laughter. It turned out that it was Qiao'e's family who came back, holding a little girl in their arms. A few people gathered around to have fun, and Xia Zhi also kept going to look at it, very rare, but turned around and said to Xiao Han and Da Han, "It's really ugly, so small and wrinkled, huh—"

Qiao'e was not annoyed when she heard this, she just pointed at Xia Zhi and thought it was funny, "You were not even more petty when you were young."

The Wang family, the Jiang family, and the Xu family entered the door, afraid that the peach fluff and the like would confuse the children's eyes, so they went to change their clothes before coming out to hug them.

Qiao'e's demeanor is completely different. The first family treats her well, and she can make decisions about everything at home. The whole person's expression is much better than before she got married, and she has a sharp vigor. Son, now that she has a child, she is not asked to do anything, and she feels bored staying in the house, so Qiao'e went back to her mother's house for a stroll, and said at this time, "Isn't Qin'er's father sent it back, he is He's a fool, he didn't come in even when he was at Zhuangzi's head, he had to go back and said he would pick us up in two days, so I knew he didn't dare to see his parents."

Gu Yu was also very happy to see this, the little aunt found a good husband's family, and people have become extraordinary, just this time, she came back when she came back, and brought back a lot of good things, all in jars all dressed up.

Mrs. Xu took over Qiao'e's words, "It's not the snobbery of your fourth sister-in-law and sister-in-law. Seeing that you are doing well, you have to find a lot of things to bother Qin'er's father, otherwise why would he dare not?" Come in, you found a job for Lichun last time, he didn't do it well and said he was tired and thankless, and it was very funny to hear that the elder brother of the fourth daughter-in-law also wanted to get rich. Saying that you can't make the decision at home, how can they have enough!"

Qiao'e pursed her lips and laughed, "Second sister-in-law, I know it well, they can't hide it from me."

Xia Zhi led Xiaohan and Dahan to move those jars, knocked one down, rolled it around for several times without smashing it, clapped his hands and laughed, and simply put the other two jars down and rolled them .

This noise made Xu Qinshi laugh, "My little ancestors, there are a lot of things inside, don't mess around." He stopped Xia Zhi, turned his head and said to Qiao'e: "Girl, but everything is stored in jars. Don’t worry about breaking it, how did you get it here?”

Qiao'e smiled again, "It's not from our family. Aunt Qin'er boiled a lot of caramel at the other end and gave us so much. There are few people on my end. I don't know when I will eat it, so I just pretend to eat it." I bought two jars and sent them to you. As for this jar, it was made by Grandpa Qin'er in partnership with others, and it didn't cost much. It is always useful to bring it back, and it is better than buying it in the town. When I came I heard that the bridge collapsed, and it turned from my elder sister, so I went to Liubazi to have a look, the candied lotus root was given to me by my elder sister, and I dragged it along."

Qiao'e was still sitting here, and Mrs. Chen happily came over to ask Qiao'e's house to eat, "Qiao'e, I don't have anything, so I cooked some food at home. There are many people here, let's go back and eat."

Mrs. Xu was amused, "From the fourth family, so many people are afraid that they will not be able to make it if they are hungry."

Chen was pulling again, Qiao'e shook her head, and didn't say anything, thinking that looking at the enthusiasm at this time, maybe there is something to do, anyway, no matter what she said, Qiao'e just didn't move her feet, saying It's because Qin'er likes to stay here, the children are so lively.

Chen Shi has no children, this is a dull pain in her heart, she reached out to hug Qin'er again, Qin'er started to cry, Chen Shi was almost bitten by Xia Zhi, so she left unwillingly.

After half an hour, Li Dejiang and the others came back, but there was still half a basket of peaches left in the basket. They said they couldn't sell them any more. They went to sell peaches every day, and they had already bought them at home, so how could they sell them? No matter how low it is, it's not good to go on like this.In Li Dejiang's words, not to mention selling it, even labor is wasted. Such a man of Zhuangzi can earn a sum of money by cutting rice for others.

There are those who are more narrow-minded, carry peaches and come back with peaches. People they meet will naturally ask how the market is today after selling peaches. It’s like asking if it’s meaningless to eat. Those people shake their heads. "It's not selling peaches, it's selling dead heads."

"Dead head?"

"If it wasn't for the dead head, no one who could ask would ask. You would know it belongs to our Taozhuang at a glance. It wouldn't bother you to sell it every day. No one would buy it. I stayed there for a long time. I was so anxious that I had to Come back again, you said it’s not a dead head, why no one buys it?”

The situation is not good.

During dinner at night, Qiao'e heard about this and asked Qin'er's aunt in the city to see if she could sell some, and she also had some connections outside.

Jing Zhe also came up with an idea to simply spread them out like threshers and sell them in various villages. Anyway, it's like a salesman entering a village. Many people in the village don't have time to go to the town. This way they can sell for money, and secondly It can also be exchanged for grain. The crops in the farm are flooded, but other farms are not flooded. People have a lot of food, so it is good to exchange for some food and share it when they come back. Both sides benefit.

An Jinxuan added that he would go to another town to have a look, and simply get a carriage and pull it over there to have a look. Maybe there is no one there, and if there are many people buying or encountering big customers, that would be fine. , is always better than waiting at home.

Everyone discussed again, before it was time to harvest, act quickly, and after a while, the peaches would be ripe, if you don’t pick them, but they fall to the ground, it’s really distressing, what can I get back? Just change it back to something.
