Pinellia pastoral

Chapter 27

As the sun set, the creaking sound of bullock carts sounded again.

The farmland beside the road is divided into irregular squares by the ridges. Some hard-working families have turned up the ridges in the fields to plant vegetables, and green clusters protrude from the small nests.

There is a special rhythm in the swaying of the bullock cart. Anyway, Mrs. Guo enjoys this rhythm very much. She stretched out her hand to support the wooden barrel on the bullock cart, and just separated a little space from others, still full of joy .

Seeing that this business can be done, the price is the same as rice noodles, but first of all, making rice noodles is not an easy task. You also have to get up early to grind the rice slurry, and then put it on a dustpan to steam it. Suffering, but also smooth and translucent, is not easy.

What's more, the cassava can be dug from the mountain, which is a precious thing, and it is still a unique business. If it can be done seriously, it will have to live better in the future.

"Banxia Banxia, ​​do you know how much money we made today? I can't figure it out after counting." That's because Guo's "counting method" is to keep recalling who came to buy it, and how much it was in total. In this way, how can she count them clearly, not to mention that there are so many people outside, it is not convenient for her to take them out.

Guo Shi was still excited, but saw Ban Xia frowning there, nudging her with his elbow, "Ban Xia!"

In fact, the soul of Ban Xia is still in the town. After Su Youcai quarreled with Zhou Shi and reconciled, Zhu Zi curled his lips aside, and only sighed after Guo Shi said how many detours he was a relative. "I didn't expect it to be such a relative. It wasn't like this when my brother and sister-in-law came to sell tofu. Let's put something on the outside to make some money and go home. They come here every day. There are more than one tofu sellers in the town, if this is the case, Ban Xia, you have to talk to your parents when you turn around, it will not be so easy to gather people back."

Banxia heard from Zhuzi that these two people were outside, and the tofu was sold to pieces, and one would spill the other to cheat. It’s only been a few days since no one bought it anymore. What’s more, there are more people making tofu, but these two still Thinking about eating and drinking, how did they pass Su Qian's level?

One must know that in Su Qian's eyes, Su Youcai is the one who treats Su Youcai better, and Uncle Wu is the one who values ​​her most. If anyone disrupts her plan to save money, it means interrupting Su Youwen's future...

At the same time, Ban Xia is also very unworthy of her parents, this messy family.

Even if I can make money, I can't make them live better. If we separate, we still have to separate.

Ban Xia secretly made up her mind.

Seeing Mrs. Guo like that, she squinted her eyes and smiled, then shook her head, "Auntie, 76 Wen, I knew about it when it was sold, so I don't worry if I put the money in yours. Look at this one, everything will be leaked."

Mrs. Guo squeezed her mouth, "You still arranged for me, who just wanted to drag me back, but you are hungry or something."

Just now, Banxia was really impatient. Seeing Su Youcai and Mrs. Zhou coming over carrying burdens, she also wanted to follow, but she was afraid that Mrs. Guo would be worried, so she wanted to go home. Mrs. Guo saw that she had made money. I also wanted to buy something for my family to go home, anyway, I wanted to be happy, so once I interrupted, I didn't spend a single penny, and I ate only pillars.

She felt sorry for Pinellia, she was going back now, but she was not so relaxed.

I never thought it would be teased by Ban Xia.

Ban Xia managed to see a shadow, but seeing that Su Youcai and Zhou Shi seemed to be a little different from before, she silently calculated in her heart that they looked far away when they were going uphill just now, and now they not only I walked fast, and it seemed that I was much closer. At this speed, it shouldn't be.

As soon as she patted her head, she seemed to think of something.

"Auntie, I stopped here, it's very close to home, I can just walk back." Ban Xia said.

Mrs. Guo took her hand, "There are still two miles to go, you won't be tired after walking back, but you are very busy today."

Ban Xia knew that she would be like this, so she thought of an excuse, "Auntie, my brother is grazing cattle nearby, and I will help him carry some firewood." After speaking, he kept winking at Mrs. Guo.

Guo really thought that Pinellia was looking for that cassava. Thinking of this place, Dongwang Village is just two slopes away, so she was not too worried. She only gave a few instructions and followed the car back.

Pinellia slid down and looked around. There are mountains or ridges all around. There are also small basins surrounded by mountains. For example, there are wastelands and mud puddles. Occasionally, there are rivers passing by and stone arch bridges.

Which one are Zhou and the others going to sing this time?Selling tofu to the people in Ma'an Village was not so fast. An idea rose in her heart, but she quickly denied it, wouldn't it?

After wandering around for two times in Banxia, ​​he started to rush home, but he kept thinking about how to get Su Youli to come back this time, whether to expose it or what?Otherwise, just throw away all these things and live a good life by yourself.Naturally, the Su Qian family can't, so what can they do?
It can only be said that plans can never keep up with changes.

When Ban Xia returned to the entrance of the courtyard, the courtyard was completely silent.

That's right, the silence is disconcerting, isn't it time to start making dinner?

"I didn't steal it!" An angry shout pierced the silence and made Ban Xia's heart skip a beat.

When she entered the door, she realized that Mrs. Su Qian was standing under the eaves, cursing angrily, Mrs. Zhou and Su Youcai were on the side not knowing what to say, and Mrs. Sun was wiping away tears.

And Mrs. Zhou was still holding a pole in her hand, and approached Mrs. Su Qian.

Gu Ya'er's cry came out.

Mint, kneeling straight on the ground, stuck her neck there.Ban Xia thought of the feat of Mint coming in with a pole when she was about to send Yuan Chen away that day, looking at her appearance, she didn't know what it was.Su Qian's voice was up and down, "You have grown up! How did you teach you when you were young, it is difficult to guard against house thieves day and night... I, see if I don't beat you to death! Get me a whip quickly." While handing the shoulder pole, Su Qian stared and sneered, and hurried to get the bamboo whip, "Mother, don't get angry, this shoulder pole is too heavy for your hands to hurt, if you want me to say mint, you really are, the money in this family is you You dared to steal it, no wonder your grandma is angry." "I didn't steal it!" Mint roared angrily.Su Qian was furious, "White-eyed wolf, I have been short of you since I was a child, whether I was short of food or clothing, I dared to put my hands on money. I won't beat you but I'm sorry for your parents! I'm sorry for you five Uncle, in the end the whole family will be a drag on you!" He raised the bamboo whip and slammed it towards Minhe, but Minhe just gritted his teeth and blushed, kneeling straight without saying a word.Ban Xia finally understood that she didn't believe that Mint would steal money, there must be something weird here, but things changed too fast, she couldn't grab Su Qian's whip, she could only tear Mint apart.Su Qian became even more annoyed when the whip failed.Ban Xia has already rushed over and hugged her hand, "Grandma, emergency, I can find the money!"
