Lucky not to forget

Chapter 13
"Sell it or not?" Wen Jun stood beside the cow with an awkward expression on his face.

Wuwang was also very distressed, Depei treated the cow like a treasure, he had only been walking for a month, and they were about to sell the cow on the back foot, wouldn't they want to die when they came back!

Seeing her embarrassment, Wen Jun panicked and said loudly, "Wu Er, wait, what are you dawdling about! Brother Pei will just buy him another one when he comes back, but he wants this one? Besides, he is in the army. , if you don’t wait ten or eight years, where can you come back? If you have a future, what will you do with the cow! Do you want to give this cow a pension and die?”

If you think about it, the whole family has gone to the city to set up a bakery shop, so what to do with the remaining cattle, they can't just let them starve to death.

"Have you figured it out? If you don't understand it, you have to leave." Wen Jun urged again.

Wu Wang frowned and said, "Will you kill me if you take it away?"

Wen Jun smiled and said, "It's all sold, you don't care about it! I don't think it will be killed. The cow has not yet grown up and is not sick. If you kill the meat, there is no value for the cultivated land. If you don't worry, I will replace it later. You can ask the cattle dealer about it."

Wu Wang nodded and said, "Then you go, I'll wait."

Wen Jun led the boy to lead the rope on the nose of the bull to the entrance of the village.

Wuwang went back to the courtyard, sat down by the root of the sycamore tree, took the melon, put it on his lap, and peeled the peanuts inside knot by knot.Mrs. Zhang was busy weighing all kinds of beans. After weighing them, she packed them again and asked, "Is the cow taken away? Unfortunately, it will be sold after a few days. I don't know how much I can sell it for." , Wen Jun, a nerd, can he care about the price?"

Liu Hong slowly moved out of the room, leaning on the door frame and said, "It's worth buying it, but it won't work if you buy it out, it must be shorter."

Wu Wang said, "I told Wen Jun that if the money is missing, we will bring it back. Let's rent the cattle. If anyone wants to use it, he will rent it with the money and feed the cattle. This is also good." of."

Mrs. Zhang laughed and said, "If our sister Chun is a boy, then he must be a good material for business!"

Liu Hongdao, "Thanks to having a child by my side, brother Pei has been away for more than a month, and there is no news of him, and I don't know how much he has suffered outside."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang began to wipe away tears, choked up and said, "That heartless person doesn't know how to send a message to report his safety."

Don't look dumb, remembering that De Peiruo doesn't know how busy it is at home, and now it's deserted, I can't help but feel sad.

Liu Hongdao, "Sister, why is Guo Rener put in the same shell?"

Wuwang came back to his senses, squatted down in frustration, picked out the peanuts one by one, and said sadly, "Last time, Mr. Pei's servant told me that Mr. Pei has old acquaintances in the Yan army. Go to the city and look for Mr. Pei again, and ask him to help you find out."

Mrs. Zhang said, "It's also very strange. Now I can't do anything without Mr. Pei. If you owe too much, how can you pay it back? It's not easy to beat the autumn wind all the time."

I don't even think it's true. I didn't meet Pei Zhen before, and life was good, but now I can't do anything without him. I can't think of a better way, and I don't have a chance to repay his favor. If you make yourself ashamed, why do you always ask others for help, and you have no relatives and no reason, what is this!

"I'll ask Wen Jun to ask his father again. Those who have sons who join the army in this neighborhood have to go to his father to record it. We can't get any letters, or we don't know if there are letters between other people's families. There is always a way to find Pei. Brother." Wu Wang said, "Just now Wen Jun said that tomorrow he will use his family's carriage to load us, and it will be the sixth day of the junior high school. If the cakes are not steamed, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it in time."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "That's right. The materials are all ready. I just need to start making them. I've already thought about it. I'll make more than a dozen samples first, and I'll make more after seeing which one sells well."

Just as he was talking, Wen Jun came in with his servant, carrying a money bag in his hand, and seeing Wu Wang, he said, "Then Wu's second child is still fair, and I gave Liu Liang."

After giving the money to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang said in surprise, "Why did you sell an extra tael? Is there such a good thing?"

Wu Wang took a look at Wen Jun, and said slowly, "If someone joins in, they will naturally sell more."

Wen Jun was stunned, giggled, and the boy next to him sneered, "No, our brother was so blushing and thick necked with the cattle dealer, he sold four taels anyway, and took out another two taels himself. They sold six taels."

Wen Jun said awkwardly, "You just opened a shop, so you must have lost some money. Xu Zhangzhang won't allow me to buy shares? I don't study now, and I got a job under my uncle, which can be regarded as income. This money is not counted. what."

Don't look at my uncle and aunt, Mrs. Zhang is not comfortable holding the money, so she shirks it a bit, but seeing that Wen Jun is trying to make face, she has to accept it.

After sending Wen Jun away, Mrs. Zhang counted the ingredients again, and shouted, "I almost forgot, my mung bean powder is still in the mill at the head of the village. Sister Chun will go with me."

Wu Wang hurriedly took the cloth bag and followed, Mrs. Zhang stood at the door and said, "The sun is high, you go in and get your hat and come back again, I will walk slowly and wait for you."

As expected, I went into the house and found a straw straw hat to put on, and walked along the small river. Although it was a small heat, but near evening, there was a breeze again, and the river was full of willow trees, which was not so bad. It feels hot, and it is very comfortable to walk along the way.

Zhang said, "I'm going to be busy tomorrow, so I need to sleep well tonight."

Wu Wang wrinkled his nose and said, "I can sleep, I'm afraid the lady boss can't sleep well."

Mrs. Zhang pinched her with a smile, and said angrily, "I know that you are not forgiving, and you will have a powerful son-in-law in the future. Let's see how he treats you!"

Wu Wang picked a mulberry leaf and fanned it, and said with a smile, "Why would I bother to find a powerful son-in-law, and being treated by him every day, wouldn't it be hard for me! I just want to find someone who can live a stable life, and that's enough. "

"Isn't that man Cheng Ge'er!" Zhang asked in a low voice, "Did you two agree? When will he come to propose marriage?"

Wu Wang Mo was very embarrassed, but the charter was firmly on the Diaoyutai, and it was never mentioned after that time when she came to build a cowshed.He hurriedly said, "Auntie, what are you talking about, why are you proposing marriage but not proposing marriage? Does the person I'm talking about have to be Brother Cheng?"

With a bright red face, Zhang said, "Why are you ashamed if it's not him? There is no money here."

Wuwang pursed her lips and stopped talking, Mrs. Zhang snickered and led her forward.Two or three women came across, carrying hoes and buckets, Xu Shi had just come back from the field, her face was tanned and red, and when they saw their wives, they stopped to strike up a conversation.Don't hope that since they don't go out often, these women are not familiar with them. I only know that one is surnamed Chen, one is surnamed Zhu, and the other is probably surnamed Kan.

Then Zhu said, "I heard from my man that you have opened a shop in the city?"

Mrs. Zhang responded with a smile, and Mrs. Chen said, "After all, she is different from us country women. The sister-in-law of the Liu family is really capable. She can go to the city to make a lot of money." Her voice was like a broken gong, and there was a sour taste in her words. Youwang couldn't help but glance at her, and she happened to look over too, and as if he had been a thief, his heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, the Chen family turned around, and said in a strange voice, "Sister Chun is really a girl!" Beauty, this skin, this figure... tsk tsk, I wonder if Brother Jun and Aunt Qi's quarreled, I heard that Sister Chun promised to the Qi family's nephew? Is it from the city?"

Several women looked at each other and smiled. Kan, who had been silent all this time, rubbed Wuwang's hand and said with a smile, "Look at this skin, it's as thin as glutinous rice balls. After all, it's well maintained. Wearing a hat."

Wu Wang withdrew his hand calmly, and forced a smile, "Auntie doesn't know something. I was sick when I was a child, and I got a rash when I was exposed to the sun. I have no choice but to wear a hat."

Kan said, "Isn't that good luck? If we also get sick, who will do the work in the field?"

Mrs. Zhang couldn't hold back anymore, and said coldly, "Who said that my sister Chun promised to the nephew of the Qi family? Don't talk nonsense, it will not be good if the girl's family's reputation is damaged."

Chen Shi said, "Isn't that young man who often comes to your house a nephew of the Qi family?"

Mrs. Zhang frowned and said, "He's here to heal brother Pei's father's leg."

"It's strange, it turns out to be a doctor!" Mrs. Zhang pretended to say to the other two women, "You have never seen that young man, he is like a fairy, he looks good, and his family is rich and powerful. I heard that the county The Eldest Master will also give him three points, compared to that uncle of the Ruan family, I don't know how many times stronger."

Don Wang didn't want to listen to their nonsense anymore, so he tugged at Mrs Zhang's sleeve, Mrs Zhang understood, and said directly, "We're going to the mill, so we won't chat today, just go to our house for tea some other day." Without waiting for their reply, he pulled Wu Wang and left.Faintly heard the three wives sneer, "After all, it's my destiny to be an aunt. She looks like that, but it's useful. Before you pass the door, the shops are open."

Wuwang's hand hurt so much from Zhang's pinch, and seeing her face turn pale and trembling slightly, she thought she was very angry, so she hastily comforted her softly, "Auntie, don't get so angry, these aunts are just things all day long. The parents are short, why don't you take their words seriously! Just because we don't go to the fields, and we don't stay with them, we will naturally have some words. Their men are all peasants, how do they know that they are not looking at uncle? Working as a bookkeeper in the city is jealous? Auntie is nothing to be angry about."

Mrs. Zhang sighed, "I heard them say things that made you miserable, and I feel bad! It's all my fault for being deceived by lard, how could you agree to Aunt Qi to be such a matchmaker! You won't blame me, will you?"

Wu Wang comforted, "Auntie was helpless that day, I know it all, if I want to blame you, I will run away with that Dongzhu, what are you doing here!"

Feeling slightly comforted, Mrs. Zhang said again, "Who is the young master of the Ruan family they mentioned just now?"

Wu Wang thought for a while and said, "I heard brother Pei mention it, probably Ruan Qiu's brother-in-law."

Mrs. Zhang jumped up again, "Those people with rotten tongues actually compared you with the girl of the Ruan family! That girl was sold as a servant girl when she was six years old, and she acted like a goblin. I don't know how she fell in love with the master later , took it into the house and became a concubine, what kind of aunt and brother-in-law, who never came back in three dynasties, and people don't recognize this relative at all."

Don't look dull and don't speak, thinking to yourself, isn't it the same when you are a concubine? .

Mrs. Zhang was angry for a while, and then hugged Qu for Pei Zhen, saying that comparing a beautiful person with bricks in the latrine is a waste of nothing.Wuwang ignored it, went into the mill, blanched the freshly ground mung bean flour, put it into a cloth bag, gave the man two copper coins, and called Mrs. Zhang to go back.
