peasant young lady

Chapter 18
"Stop!" Cheng Qiu was immediately annoyed when he saw Cheng Xia's reaction, and even more annoyed when he saw her non-stop walking, "I'm talking to you, you're deaf."

Cheng Xia sighed helplessly, looked at Lin Xiu's worried face, smiled comfortingly, and walked towards Cheng Qiu, "I don't have the heart to talk to you, you just need to shout once, I don't want to give you face. "

"You!" Cheng Qiu raised his hand to slap Cheng Xia, but when Cheng Xia waved his hand, he staggered two steps and nearly fell down.

"I'm your cousin. I don't know how to call out when we meet. I really don't have a tutor."

Cousin?At the door of Cheng's house that day, according to what this cousin said, she even robbed Cheng Xia's sweetheart, right?

"Cousin, since you know that we are relatives, you even grab your cousin's sweetheart with your hands. The tutor is really good." After speaking, he didn't even look at her, and took Lin Xiu, who was stunned, back to Yang's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a little boy who was as thin as a little monkey. He threw himself into Lin Xiu's arms like a gust of wind, and Lin Xiu staggered when he hit him.

Lin Xiu quickly picked up the child, kissed it vigorously, and said tearfully, "Xiaolong, you miss your mother."

mother?Cheng Xia stared dumbfounded at this woman who was younger than herself, she was already a mother?

"Mother, Xiaolong also misses mother." The little guy spoke crisply and sounded very nice.

Mrs. Chen came over with the child, seeing the tearful eyes of the mother and child, she also shed tears.The grandson has been away from his mother for so many days at such a young age, and anyone who sees it will feel distressed.

Lin Xiu wiped away his tears, and quickly asked Xiaolong to look at Cheng Xia, "Xiaolong, this is your uncle, call someone quickly."

The little guy's two big skinny eyes were particularly abrupt. He glanced at Cheng Xia timidly, blinking and blinking for a long time before he shyly opened his arms to Cheng Xia, "Mother, hug."

Now, Cheng Xia hasn't hugged a child yet?

Looking at Xiaolong's eyes that instantly dimmed because she didn't respond for a long time, Cheng Xia suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, quickly put down the fish basket, and hugged Xiaolong.

The little guy suddenly smiled.

Cheng Xia had no choice but to ask Lin Xiu to put the three fish in the water basin to raise first because the little guy was dependent on Cheng Xia, and Cheng Xia ate lunch with the little guy in his arms.

Cheng Xia later found out that Xiaolong was the child of Erlang and Lin Xiu, and he was only two years old. Because his zodiac sign was a snake, he was commonly called Xiaolong in the countryside, so he kept calling him Xiaolong Xiaolong without even having a proper name.

A few days ago, because Erlang lost money in gambling and had no money to pay back, the people in the casino wanted to chop off his hand and take the child to pay off the debt. Lin Xiu was afraid that those gamblers would really hurt Xiaolong, so he secretly put the child in the care of his natal family. some days.

Later, Headhunter Yang sold the land, so let's forget about it for the time being. Today, Lin Xiu's mother brought the child back, put it down and left.

After hearing this, Cheng Xia became even more puzzled. Since Yang Erlang lost money in gambling and was about to sell his own son, how could the Chen family still have ten taels of silver for Da Lang to marry his wife?No wonder Headhunter Yang was so angry when he found out that Mrs. Chen had spent ten taels of silver on the night he traveled over.

The more Cheng Xia thought about it, the more she couldn't understand. She always felt that the Yang family was weird, but she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for now. In the afternoon, Cheng Xia hugged Xiaolong and watched Lin Xiu spread wild vegetables and herbs, while calculating how much white and brown sugar he would need to buy in the market the day after tomorrow to sell the fish.

Even if Yang Lihua didn't want to, in the afternoon, Chen had promised Cheng Xia that she could use the wax gourd in the cellar, which meant that her first money-making business could be operated.

She went to see the wax gourds in the cellar. There were seven or eight big and small, at least 130 catties. After removing the skin and pulp, the net weight was [-] catties. After calculation, you need [-] catties of white sugar and [-] catties of brown sugar. I didn't remember the price of white sugar and brown sugar, so I'll have to check with the county tomorrow.

It's rare, Yang Dalang and Yang Lietou both arrived home at dusk, Cheng Xia thought, there was nothing to eat at home, so she just killed a fish to eat, she got two carp and one bighead carp today, Cheng Xia thought about it, Decided to kill the slightly smaller bighead carp.

I don't bother to pay attention to Yang Lihua's way of crying and howling and not letting her kill the fish. Why can't she eat the fish she got herself?
For bighead carp, her father once taught her to make three dishes, namely, pork melon and roasted pork belly, steamed Qiandaohu reservoir fish head with black bean sauce, and Qiandaohu fishtail soup with loofah and mushrooms.

Winter melon is ready-made. Although tempeh and loofah mushrooms are not available, there are wild vegetables and medicinal materials, which are just right for taste.

When the fragrance was wafting around, Yang Erlang happened to come back too, and ran to the kitchen immediately after smelling the smell, Yang Lihua didn't complain anymore, she swallowed and asked Cheng Xia to give her a bowl of soup first.

During the meal, three dishes were placed on three large broken plates, and Cheng Xia specially used two small bowls to fill the fish and placed them in front of Da Lang and Xiao Long respectively.
