Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 87

"Xiaoqiao, Xiaofeng, are you going to break the bamboo shoots too?" The one who spoke was Fatty Luo's daughter Hongmei, who had a pretty good relationship with Xiaoqiao and Xiaofeng.

"Yes, you're going too?" Xiaofeng greeted hurriedly.

"My brother and I went to see if we caught any rabbits!" Hongmei said with a smile.

Luo Hongmei's brother likes to run rabbits up and down the mountain. He uses a rope to trip rabbits, and sometimes he can catch them. It is said that in winter, Hongmei's family has several rabbits.

Xiaofeng's eyes lit up when she heard that, she also wanted to go and have a look. Just as she was talking, Hongmei's brother Bingzi came over, "Then my brother and I are leaving. How about you go with us?" Have a look? It's fun!" Hongmei said to Bingzi, "Brother, take Xiaofeng and Xiaoqiao with you."

Bingzi smiled and nodded. At this time, Jiaan also came over and asked Bingzi, "Shall we go up the mountain to see the rabbits?"

Bingzi nodded, "The rope that was lowered the day before yesterday should be almost done."

Seeing that Xiaoqiao and Xiaofeng didn't understand, Jiaan said, "Let's go, what are you doing?"

Xiaofeng also pulled Xiaoqiao over, because the bunny is really interesting.

Hongmei said that she had seen it before. The rabbit was caught by the rope and couldn't run no matter what, and it was very fat.Xiaofeng's saliva is about to flow out.

"Is it easy to get a rabbit?" Xiaofeng asked.

After hearing this, Jia An said, "If it's simple, everyone will understand it!"

Xiaofeng rolled her eyes, I didn't ask you, it's so ugly!
But this small matter can't affect everyone's mood. A few people followed Hongmei's brother Bingzi to find the place where the rabbits lay, and went deeper and deeper. Finally, they saw a few rabbits hanging on the ropes, and they couldn't earn it. take off.

"This rabbit is really big." Xiaofeng looked at the rabbit eagerly.I wish it was my own.

Bingzi handed Xiaofeng one, "This one is for you."

"Give it to me? Forget it, it's not mine, I can't take it." Xiaofeng still refused the temptation, although she really wanted one.

"You can take it if I give it to you, Bingzi is not a stingy person!" Jia An said on the side.

Xiaofeng felt that Jia An's words were very aggressive, so she said, "It's not because of you, it's just like me!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xiaoqiao hurriedly circled with Hongmei for a while, Bingzi also said with a smile: "I made a lot of trouble today, so just take it, Jia'an will have it later."

Hongmei also said: "Yes, my brother can do it next time, Xiaoqiao, Xiaofeng, you just take it." In the end, I still took it, Hongmei's brother did a lot this time , It is estimated that there are five or six, enough for them to eat and sell.It's just that all of this requires experience, and it's not something ordinary people can do.

Later, they also helped Xiaoqiao and Xiaofeng break up the wild bamboo shoots, and they went back down the mountain.

"Sister, did you quarrel with Brother Jia'an before?" Seeing that their aura was not going well today, Xiaoqiao asked.

Xiaofeng said: "It's nothing? I used to fight when I was a child." Xiaofeng said indifferently: "I beat him to the ground, he will take revenge."

And this thing, Xiaoqiao said, why I don't know at all.But it's quite normal for any kid in the country who hasn't had a fight when he was a child.

Lixia and Wu saw that the two sisters took the rabbit, and knew it was given by Bingzi, Wu said: "Fatty Luo's son is quite capable on the mountain, this rabbit is really big. Xiaofeng, go to our vegetable garden in a while Pick some fresh vegetables and send them to Hongmei's house." The long-term way is to come and go.

The vegetables grown at Xiaoqiao's house are growing well, and it's not a loss to send them over.

Xiaofeng hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll get it right now."

This rabbit was eaten by the whole family for several days, and Mrs. Wu specially reserved half of it for Ye Zhu to come back from outside, while Mrs. Liu was still worrying about Lichun's marriage.

"There are a few, and I can't decide now, either this one is bad, or that one is bad, and now I know that it is really difficult to find a wife. Fortunately, I only have this son, otherwise I wouldn't be broken." Heart? Second brother and sister, you have to worry more in the future." Liu said with a smile, although this person is not sure, but it shows that there are many people who are interested in Lichun in his family, which has to be said to be a good thing, if no one looks Come on, then you should cry too.

Mrs. Liu came here because she wanted Mrs. Wu to give her an idea, but Ms. Wu could only give her opinion. It was up to their parents to decide who should be decided. Even Lichun couldn't be the master of the house. This is the order of the parents at this time.In other words, Lichun only needs to wait to marry a wife, and doesn't have to worry about anything else.

Since Mrs. Liu has only one son, Lichun, it is a bit strict if there are many daughters-in-law.It is very important to inquire about the character of the other girl. Xiaoqiao saw that the mother and the aunt went to other villages together, and made it mysterious. Xiaofeng said that it was the mother and the aunt who went to inquire about the future sister-in-law. .

Xiaoqiao thought, what will happen when his brother marries a wife.

Mrs. Liu worked hard for a month before she settled on the daughter of Cui Gui from Cuijia Village. This girl is the eldest in the family and has younger brothers and sisters. The reason why Mrs. Liu fell in love with this girl from the Cui family was because she fell in love with her. It's the boss, and the boss must take care of the younger siblings. Lichun is the boss, and she will inevitably get along with the younger siblings in the future. It is unacceptable for the sister-in-law to not have a lenient attitude.

"Cuijia Village is quite far from our Yejia Village." Ye Xiaoqiao said.This matchmaker is really capable, and she can find someone in such a distant village.Is this the so-called fate?

Xiaomi still has thoughts about having a sister-in-law in the family, after all, there is going to be an extra person.I always feel uncomfortable, "Sister Xiaoqiao, what do you think if my sister-in-law doesn't like me then?"

Xiaoqiao said: "Our Xiaomi is so good, everyone will definitely like it." As a daughter-in-law, as long as she has a certain brain, she will definitely not fight against her sister-in-law. Xiaomi is completely worried about it.

When a person arrives in an unfamiliar environment, it should be the other person who is afraid.

Xiaomi said: "My mother said that our family will save money for another year before marrying in-laws." Sending things away, so many people in the countryside don't like this. The engagement takes a long time, and when the time comes, there will be too many things to send out, which is not worthwhile.

Usually, marriages are settled, and they get married after a month or two. People like Liu's are still rare.However, Mrs. Liu said that although she was engaged, she hadn't prepared anything. She would marry a daughter-in-law like this once in her life, so she had to get it right.

And what Liu didn't say was that if there was anything wrong with the Cui family during this year, it would be too late to repent.

This is also for planning in the future. I would rather suffer some losses now than suffer losses for a lifetime.Like Xu's, they look very bright, but they are useless. If they can't do things well, they just have their mouths left.Mrs. Liu said this to Mrs. Wu secretly. Originally, Mrs. Xu had passed the Yegen County Examination, but Mrs. Xu was about to float away. Everyone felt that she was a talented lady. After Ye Gen passed the prefectural examination, this This feeling became stronger, but Ye Gen failed the final college exam, and became a child student. Only after passing the college exam next time can he be called a scholar, but the previous county and government exams will not be required next time.

Although the old man felt a little regretful, he was still proud of being the fourth son of Tongsheng. For this reason, he went to the ancestral grave and took Ye Gen to kowtow to the ancestor himself.

Everything is inferior, only reading is high, and this is also the case in this era. Although Ye Gen has done many inconspicuous things before, he became a child, and some people in the village still selectively forget his past.Someone from the upper room also came to compliment her.I wish I could be called Ye Gen Ye Xiucai now.

It's just that Xiaoqiao's family never joins in the fun, so instead of wasting that time, it's better to get the work done in a down-to-earth manner.Although their family is still an out-and-out farmer, their money is getting more and more.Everyone is discussing to replace the adobe house with a brick house.

"Why are you here again?" Ye Xiaoqiao looked impatiently at the two girls waiting outside.These two girls belong to Ye Huier's mother-in-law's family. Now it's autumn, and Ye Huier has a body. When it is the most expensive time, Xiaoqiao's family also made a lot of money from the yams. Everyone has become familiar with yams. Many people They all came to ask Ye Zhu for advice.Even the magistrate of the county knew about this, and invited Ye Zhu to the county government office, hoping that Ye Zhu could teach everyone about this potato.

Of course, the magistrate of the county is not paid for nothing, besides buying half of the yam seeds left by Xiaoqiao’s family, he also gave Ye Zhu some money as a reward. There were also people who started planting yams over there, but if someone was invited from the south , that's too far away, Ye Zhu is a local, it would be best to invite him.

Because of this matter, Xiaoqiao's father is somewhat famous in this generation, but after all, it is farming, which is not as attractive as those who are officials and butchers. In addition, Ye Zhu is very low-key. He didn't get too bloated, and told the county officials in charge of farm work all his methods of growing yams, and he came back without greed for credit.

Because of this matter, Zhang's family, who never walked with their own family, now started to walk with Xiaoqiao's family, and gave generous gifts during the New Year and holidays.

Recently, Zhang’s family came here not because of Xiaoqiao’s family, but because of Xiaoqiao’s cousin Wu Shanzhong. After the people of Zhang’s family knew about it, they thought they could get in touch with Xiaoshan’s cousin through Xiaoqiao. After all, he is young and promising, and he may become a Jinshi in the future and become an official. Not to mention the benefits, at least it will be greatly beneficial.

The ones who came here today are an older woman and two maids from Zhang's family. The woman called her Zhang's mother, and she was talking with Mrs. Wu. When she saw Xiaoqiao coming back from outside, she smiled and said, "Xiaoqiao The lady is still so diligent, and I’m back from work.” Zhang’s mother said that she looked down on the Ye family, saying that she was invited by the county magistrate, but how often did the Zhang family be invited by the county magistrate?

There's no need to flatter them, but no one dares to say no to the old lady's words.
