Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 119
After another few spring rains, the seedlings in the fields are already green.

Ban Xia's family was even more beaming.

There were a lot of happy events, the first of which was that Wu Mei's marriage had been settled, and the Su family's courtyard was much quieter and peaceful, and Su Qian's high-pitched scolding voice had not been heard for many days.

Pinellia's side is the cobblestone path, which has finally been paved.

Going out from his own vegetable garden, the cobblestones on the top have already been paved, and Su Youli smashed them on purpose, that is, with thick hemp ropes. There are several ends of the ropes that bind the stone slabs. It is covered with fine sand, so it is actually comfortable to walk on, even if it rains, it is not afraid of getting too much mud.

Gu Ya'er and Yuan Chen were very excited. They ran up and down the road, took off their shoes carefully, ate their white and tender feet, and walked on them. Occasionally, their feet hurt and their faces wrinkled up, but Chasing each other never tired of it, it was Mrs. Li who came out laughing and scolding, which brought the two of them back home.

Flower seeds were sprinkled on both sides of the path. On one side was a stone garden, surrounded by a bamboo fence. It was the vegetable garden of the Zhang family. A small door was specially left for this purpose, just to facilitate the two families to enter and exit.

The cobblestones are connected to the entrance of the village road, and Su Youli carefully weaves a wood gate, "Since this way is for us to take this road, we can't bring them any trouble. The vegetable garden here is also easy to be ruined by chickens and ducks, so it's better Make up a door, and it will not be affected by entering and exiting.

Pinellia is looking at the cobblestone path outside, the garden foundation with staggered stones, and the green bamboo fence. Taking advantage of this fresh and tender vegetable garden, it makes people feel happy.She sat on the small stool in the shed in a daze, imagining the scene of the flowers blooming in the future. It would be great if there was one more vine and a stone table and bench under it.

Everything is satisfactory, except that the room is cramped.

Compared with the previous situation where Su Qian's was so tight-lipped, it was really nothing if it was a little more difficult.

She went through the things at home carefully in her heart, holding a small stick in her hand and scratching on the ground. The first line was the top of Bianjiao Ridge. Now it is her own, and it should be returned to her grandfather's family. The money has also been paid back, that is to say, the two of them planted this thing, and they will know how much they can collect at that time.

Next, I plan to build up my own vegetable garden, house, courtyard walls, and pigsty huts. I am afraid that there will not be much left in this vegetable field, but there are not many people in the family. This doesn't matter.

In addition, when the family was separated, there were less than three acres of paddy fields, and now seedlings have been sown, and there is no need to take care of them. There are still a few acres of dry land, and Su Youli is going to plant soybeans.

These things made Ban Xia feel a little more at ease, and he finally had fixed assets!
But these things, at most, can only be said to make the family have enough food and clothing. It is not enough to really let the elder brothers and younger brothers study at ease and live a good life for themselves!
For the rest, making bean sprouts is not so short. I heard that someone has already made it in Jishang. This is not something with much technical content, and it cannot make money for a long time. My family wants to keep bombing this sale, one episode every five days, and send it to Jufeng Tower, but in the future, if Wu Mei marries and the two become relatives, I will have to think more about whether I will do this business or not.

Fermented bean curd is not bad, but no one can eat fermented bean curd every day, right?

With this calculation, Ban Xia calmed down a lot.

It's not bad to live in peace like this, but she is not reconciled.

Obviously you can live better, why not try.What's more, now I can only talk about food and clothing, and it's too far away from expectations. For example, there are many problems in front of me. If she wants to build a big house and go out to live by herself, she will no longer need to hear Su Qian's annoying scolding You don't need to watch Zhou's yin and yang all day long, and you have to save some money for Yuan Guang and his wife for emergencies.

So many things require money.

When these things are still going smoothly, there are some contingencies, such as whether cassava can be planted successfully, and can it be sold after planting?She needs to be able to bear these risks.

What is the business that can go on for a long time and keep making money?
She couldn't think of it for a while.

If you want to become a big one, you have no money, so you have no direction for such a small fight.

Pinellia was a little sad.

If I can't figure it out, I just let it go.

Ban Xia has never been a person who likes to dig into dead ends.

Looking back, I thought that the things that Mrs. Li asked me to send to the second room were embroidered thread fabrics bought at Jishang. When I mentioned this, Ban Xia shook her head. I don't know what Mrs. Su Qian was thinking. After all, there are naturally a lot of things sent by the Wu family, Wu Mei doesn't need to do anything else, she hides in the house to embroider the dowry, but even for the simplest things, Su Qian's is not prepared, the meaning behind the words It turned out to be asked to go to Wu's house.

It's like this before getting married. Naturally, no one in Su Youyi's family can open this mouth. Mrs. Li turned around and scolded fiercely. Ben took Mrs. Sun to the episode, but who knew Mrs. Sun was left to work in the kitchen again .

She went with Qiu Shi.

When I turned around, I said that I was going to build a house for Yuan Guang and Yuan Chen to live in, and I was very busy.

Ban Xia picked up the basket, unlocked the door and walked across the yard to the second room.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard someone talking inside.

"Sister, you are going to go out now. We were ignorant in the past, and we were always noisy. When I think about going out to other people's homes in the future, I feel uncomfortable. I don't have much time to wait for you." We're at home, let's stop making trouble, okay?" The voice was very familiar.

It's Polygonatum odoratum, could it be that he has changed his temper?This is not right, what do you mean let's not make trouble, which time they are not looking for trouble?

The person who has always treated the few people other than her like girls suddenly said that she should live a good life. Is it because Wu Mei married her that she felt it was profitable?

Ban Xia laughed a little.

Wu Mei's voice was so low that she couldn't hear what she was saying.

Ban Xia entered the door, just looking at the ruthlessness in Yu Zhu's eyes, she was startled, such cold and resentful eyes, is it the same person who spoke just now?

"Eldest sister, you are embroidering dowry again! Hey, sister Yuzhu, you are also here, oh, I see, why don't you come and see how to embroider, this will come in handy soon." Ban Xia said to her.

"I'm... not in a hurry." Yuzhu said evasively, but her eyes were fixed on what Wumei was holding, "How can I have such good fortune as eldest sister."

Shui Ping has been hiding by the side without saying a word, and when she heard this, she choked, "Sister, how could you marry there? It's so good that it has nothing to do with the Wu family. When I came back last time, I was still The second sister talked to him..."

"Shui Ping!" Yuzhu scolded her, "What are you talking about, the eldest sister has suffered so much, and now she has a good relationship, I can only be happy, to be selfish, the eldest sister married well, in the future It's only good for you and me, why are you so narrow-minded!"

Shui Ping pouted.

Ban Xia watched this scene as if she was watching the scene. Ever since Yu Zhu spoke, she had been staring at this man's eyes. Although she was scolding Shui Ping, there was a trace of... ridicule in her eyes.

What's wrong?

Ban Xia can't think of so many for the time being.

Wu Mei didn't say a word anyway.

Polygonatum entangles her and wants to take her arm.

"Sister Yuzhu, aren't you afraid of being poked with a needle?" Ban Xia had to remind.

And Yuzhu smiled, "I am very close to Eldest Sister, even if I get pricked by a needle, I will recognize it, Eldest Sister, teach me!"

Wu Mei's face was full of embarrassment, and she couldn't shake Yuzhu's arm even if she tried hard.

What's happening here?
Ban Xia has a strange face, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she really wouldn't have imagined that Yuzhu would do such a thing, her previous impression was that she always looked at people sideways, with a black face full of disdain for them The appearance of being a team.

Ban Xia blinked, "Sister Yuzhu, why are you so friendly with Eldest Sister all of a sudden? What are you thinking?"

After finishing speaking, he fixedly looked at her with a faint smile.

Yuzhu immediately felt very uncomfortable, as if someone had seen through something, her complexion changed a little, but fortunately the light in the room was not very good, she could not see it, she pretended to stomp her feet, "Look at what you said! Didn't I come here because my eldest sister got married, and we would have fewer days to be intimate!"

He said a few more words coquettishly, and went out, feeling a little like running away.

Ban Xia squinted her eyes and stared at her back, thoughtfully.

But Wu Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled wryly at Ban Xia.

Ban Xia thought for a while, "Sister, how many times has she been here?"

"That is, in the past two days, I feel uncomfortable being with them. Shui Ping would say some weird things every time, but Yu Zhu is much more sensible." Wu Mei shook her head and said casually.

There must be something weird here, but I don't know it.

Pinellia's heart is like a cat's claws, and if something goes wrong, she must be a demon, not to mention Yu Zhu will not calmly suppress her face, and if she looks more, she may be able to see something.

But this feeling of always needing to be on guard also made her very upset, "Eldest sister, you should pay more attention, and think about it if there is something wrong."

Wumei trusts Banxia very much. Although she sometimes disagrees with her actions, she will never hurt herself, especially after Su Chun'er plotted against her last time, if it weren't for Banxia, ​​she didn't know if she could still Huo, when he heard it at this time, he was not as ignorant as before, but turned his face away, "What's wrong?"

"I just think she's doing it too obviously, as if... She's hiding something."

Not sure after all.

Wu Mei pondered and said nothing, "I can't figure it out, I just think she is a little more sensible, but when she smiles at me, I always feel shocked."

Anyway, it’s not on good terms with that side. When I was plotting against people before, it was a joy, but suddenly I made up, and there is always a feeling of a weasel giving a chicken New Year’s greetings, "Elder sister, if you are really in trouble, when the time comes Ignore them, there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, not to mention what Shui Ping said just now is obvious, what is Yu Zhu is the one who talked to brother-in-law Wu first, and you are obviously engaged."

The atmosphere was a little depressing, Ban Xia deliberately changed the subject.

"Ban Xia!" Wu Mei's ears turned red.
