Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 178
A word to awaken the dreamer.

Ban Xia opened her mouth to refute, but didn't know what to say.

That's right, ever since she came to this place, she has always been a little uneasy in her heart, and there is a faint uncertainty about the unknown. Such uncertainty makes her heart always in a kind of fear.

Therefore, she wants to keep making money and try her best to make herself stronger, just to make her feel more at ease and at ease.

He felt more and more that this big family was connected by blood with him, but Ban Xia still couldn't get rid of his thoughts, and Li Shi saw it.

A well-known daughter is like a mother, Li Shi was not shy at all when she saw Ban Xia and said that she would marry in the future, and she didn't even think about it, so she couldn't help but have a headache.

Ban Xia smiled and said: "Mother, I know, from now on I will rely on my parents and elder brother."

Just now I saw Ban Xia was silent for a moment, it is still like this now, obviously she didn't take it to heart, how can Li Shi rest assured, and said: "You girl, don't blame your mother for being nagging, you are not young at this age, since we are There are not so many people who are separated from each other."

Mint hurriedly counted on the side, "No, Ban Xia, you are already thirteen!"

Ban Xia rolled her eyes, Thirteen!Are you thinking about getting married?She felt a chill in her heart.

Seeing Mint's schadenfreude look, she also dropped the water, "I'm thirteen, but I don't know how old some people are, and I can't tell who they are!"

Mrs. Li supported her forehead: "I'm just worrying too much! You two!"

The sad look in his eyes was puzzled.

Banxia also felt a little distressed when she saw it, so she stopped joking with Mint, "Mother, you don't need to worry too much, let alone we are not afraid of this, but even if you worry about me now, what can you do? You let me Where do I marry? Who? You can't bear it, do you?"

Talking about shaking Li Shi's arm, it is rare to see Ban Xia showing such a delicate daughter's attitude, Li Shi also thought that she was still a little impatient after all.

"Hey, mother made your fourth aunt make trouble!" Li Shi seemed to feel that she had missed something, so she stopped talking.

Not long after, Mrs. Sun came over to call Mrs. Li, and the conversation was interrupted.

Mint stared at Ban Xia, feeling a little dazed, and asked: "Ban Xia, do you think you can make decisions about getting married in the future?"

Ban Xia naturally replied: "This was originally the words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, but you see that the big sister made such a disturbance at the beginning, don't worry, the second uncle and the second aunt are not unreasonable, the people you want to see in the future, You must be the only one who is satisfied with yourself to marry, or else..."

Before the words finished, Mint curled her lips and said, "What's the difference? I hate seeing those twitchy ones!"

As for being so excited?Ban Xia looked at Mint a little puzzled.

But she saw that she was speaking without intention, and after finishing speaking, she asked dully: "Then how can I get married?"

Ban Xia choked on her own saliva.

He laughed loudly, "You girl, do you have someone in your heart?"

Being teased by Ban Xia, Mint neither admits nor denies it, but shakes her hands, "Marriage is really troublesome, there are a lot of long-winded words, I am also embarrassed when I see my sister like this, is there anything I can't fight with?" , Listen to whoever wins, Doriso!"

No matter what, mint can always be transformed into a big one.

Wu Mei stayed at home for a day, and went back with Yaya.

The days passed peacefully.

Or when Mrs. Li talked about Pinellia, seeing that she didn't object much, she would beat her from time to time.

Yuan Guang and Yuan Chen still went to study, while Su Youli brought people to work on his new house.

The wall was built up slowly, and it can be seen from a distance, which is very impressive.

Pinellia works here as a workshop, hanging out with everyone, but it doesn't feel boring.

"Ban Xia, someone is looking for it outside." Qiu came in with a curious face on his face, "It's not from our village. I just stood at the door with a wheelbarrow, and I was embarrassed to come in when I walked around. I looked like The guy from the next door village is just familiar. I went in and out several times, but he didn’t dare to come in, so I asked him, saying he was looking for your father. I figured your father was busy at the other end of the house, so I asked first. ask you."

Qiu's work has always been safe. Hearing what she said, even though Ban Xia didn't know what it was, she wanted to go out and have a look.

In the past, she probably wouldn't be so nosy, but last time because of the soybean problem, under such a difficult situation in the workshop, not only Wu Mei sent 100 taels of silver, but also the villagers around her made her feel warm.

Hearing what Qiu said, that person must have encountered something, otherwise why would she not dare to come in, as long as possible, she is willing to help these simple neighbors.

Seeing that Banxia had an idea, Qiu Shi was still not at ease, and simply said: "Anyway, I'm fine, I'll go and have a look with you."

The two of them walked out of the yard and to the entrance of the alley. Sure enough, at the foot of the tree, there was a wheelbarrow, and beside it was a man with sleeves on. It was black, and a pair of straw sandals under his feet were also worn out. His two hands were clasped together, and he looked a little distressed.

Seeing Qiu's coming out with Pinellia, his face was a little embarrassed, his voice fluctuated, "I'm sorry, sister, this..."

Unspeakably disappointed.

Seeing his appearance, Ban Xia understood a little bit, and didn't point it out, giggled and said: "Uncle Daming, I recognize you, you were the luckiest last time, you got double the money, and you returned it when the workshop was difficult, Later, my uncle went to look for you, did you receive the money we paid back?"

Hearing Ban Xia's words, Qiu Daming showed a relieved smile on his face. It turned out that the girl still remembered herself, and nodded hurriedly: "I received it, I received it, but it was just for fun. How can I take it seriously? I sent it back and returned it later." I gave it to Yuzhu, it is so precious that the child's mother would not be willing to leave it for a month..."

Speaking of this, he was a little embarrassed, rubbed his hands and stopped talking.

Ban Xia was even more confident in her heart. Although the yuba was more expensive, it was not too unaffordable, and she would not be willing to eat it for a month... This shows that the family is a little poor. Such a difficulty, but still treats it like it was at the beginning. The money was sent back, just because the workshop encountered difficulties and needed silver.

What's more, it was originally his, and no one would say no to it if it wasn't returned. They were willing to gamble and admit defeat. At least Ban Xia had never thought of getting it back. It was worth hundreds of pennies. Small amount too.

How is this person, more and more commendable.

When Qiu heard Banxia talking to him, he remembered what happened, his face became warmer, and he said: "Brother, I dare to love you, why don't you say anything, you are from the next village, and do it again." Do business, don’t go in until the door.”

Qiu Daming just smiled dryly.

Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Ban Xia hurriedly said: "Uncle Daming, what are you doing here? My father is not coming out, he is building a house outside, I can sit half of the house thinking about family affairs, I am afraid of you Come out and take a look when you can, and I won’t let you worry.”

Qiu Daming was even more embarrassed when she said that.

If he is urgent, he is urgent, but he is too busy with other workshops, so he has the nerve to call, but since he has come here brazenly, there is absolutely no reason to go back like this, the family is too difficult now.

If he didn't say anything, Ban Xia didn't rush to say anything, after all, he had already come to the door of the house, and he said what he had to say, if he really had something to say, he needed to speak.

What's more, looking at his appearance, Ban Xia really wants to help him, because of his sincerity, but he is not sure what this person is suitable for.

After working for a while, Qiu Daming raised his head and said, "I was just thinking about whether or not to collect rice here."

"Receive rice?" Ban Xia also guessed that the things in his bag were soybeans.

Once he opened his mouth, Qiu Daming became more calm, with a smile on his face: "I saw a rice noodle workshop over there. When I came back to sell soybeans, there was nothing I could do. The family...needed some cash. It happened that things were not going well, so I pounded the new millet into rice, but the harvest outside was too low. I found out that it was the rice harvested at the other end of the mill. Whether this rice noodle workshop accepts it or not is embarrassing for you.”

It turned out that this was unexpected.

Qiu's brows were frowned. It's not a lot to get it to the workshop because it's cheap outside, but at the beginning, wouldn't it be a mess to sell this one and that one?This opening cannot be opened.

She was about to remind Ban Xia a few words.

Qiu Daming saw that Banxia was silent, and his face turned red again: "Don't be embarrassed, this rice is good rice. After passing through the sieve twice, all the small stones have been picked up. I know that you use it to make rice noodles. Don't be sloppy, and don't be higher than the mill, looking at the price given to...the outside, it's really..."

Speaking of this, an honest man, both ashamed and anxious, stuttered.

Asking for help is always difficult.

Especially when he has no way to struggle, Ban Xia can feel this feeling.

But she also has concerns in her heart. Mi has always been collected from Uncle Da Zhu, and suddenly the scattered ones are collected. I am afraid that there will not be so many manpower to take care of this in the future.

But looking at Qiu Daming like this, such an honest person, if he really had no other way, why would he ask to come to the door.

To help is to help, it depends on how to help.

"Uncle Daming, who are you selling it to and how much?" Ban Xia was a little puzzled.

Hearing Banxia's question, Qiu Daming's face became more bitter, "This year's season is good, and the harvest is better than in previous years. I thought it would be... Who would have thought that this would be shipped out for sale, but Boss Pang's price was too low. It’s too low, even if you don’t pay ten cents for a bucket, if you say it’s for sale, you won’t be able to do so.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiu's eyes widened: "When did rice become so cheap!"

Ban Xia was also startled, but asked an extra layer, "Which Boss Pang?"
