Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 185 Chapter 180 Fourth: The ninth day of August

The Douban that has been moldy for a few days has already been made, and this time it is quite a lot. Song Qiu took the old Yuan Shi and Zhang Lihua and A Ling to work for a whole morning before breaking up all the moldy Douban and rubbing them apart. , Use a sieve to remove the mildew and put it in the sun to dry.

The sun in early August can still dry things out.

The red peppers that have been hanging in the sun for a day and a day have all dried up, and the earliest batches are even soft to the touch.

Song Qiu had to be thankful that God was good, it hadn't rained for half a month.

It's not too late, it won't be too late to rain after she has dried out all the dried chilies.

The red peppers from my own family and Zhang's family have also been picked, skewered and dried.

In the past two days, I also heard about the daughter and sister-in-law who sold the red peppers. Knowing that her family collects red peppers, she even picks them up and sells them at the door, and Song Qiu also accepts them. Glad I didn't have to travel by myself.

I also received a lot.

Taking advantage of the time when the moldy Douban was basking in the sun, Song Qiu drove the mule cart, took Zhang Lihua and Ah Ling together, and planned to collect the last batch of red peppers.

It counts as much as you can collect, and this year's crop will be the last crop.

Everyone is starting to organize the vegetable field and prepare to plant all kinds of vegetables in the second half of the year. The pepper trees that are still in the field will be dried and harvested, but not all of them are kept. Come to the land, leaving only such a ridge.

So Song Qiu and the others traveled far, to the area of ​​Xiaojiachang, going from village to village, and finally returned to the village after dark, and only received a mule cart of red peppers.

It only looked like five or six hundred catties, but it was enough.

Song Qiu didn't plan to run any more. After running for a whole day today, he was tired, and so was Xiao Hei.

Coupled with the remaining chili peppers at home, it is estimated that it is enough to fill the remaining five large clay pots.

At that time, she will be the one who has seven big pots and three small pottery bean paste.

Well, there are quite a few dried chilies too.

These clusters are probably all dried in the sun, and there can still be a few hundred catties after weighing, which is enough for her to harvest peppers next year.

The peppers were all brought back, Song Qiu called out to the village, and the women who helped chop the peppers for a day all came to the door with wooden basins and kitchen knives.

I already knew it, so I don’t need to teach this room anymore. Everyone was busy cutting the stalks of the peppers, picking out the bad ones, passing them in clean water, and drying them in the sun.

After all the peppers have been cleaned and dried, the first batch has also dried up the surface moisture, so you can start chopping.

For a while, the Song family yard was filled with the sound of chopping.

After lunch, Chop Chop Chop continued.

Liu Caihua, who went back to her natal family for dinner early this morning, did not come together early in the morning. Now she hurried over with a wooden basin and a kitchen knife, and smiled at Song Qiu: "It took a long time for a banquet, and today is the day." How about half a day?"

Song Qiu also laughed, "Okay!"

Liu Caihua nodded, found a place to sit down, and started chopping the peppers in the tub.

"Everyone didn't leave the village today, so you haven't heard of it yet!" As soon as she sat down, Liu Caihua couldn't help talking mysteriously.

Mrs. Zhang is the most lively, and she raised her eyes to join in the show when she heard it, "What's the matter? What's the excitement?"

That blushing face, waiting to hear the excitement, made everyone laugh for a while.

On the contrary, they all looked at Liu Caihua, Liu Caihua didn't like to play around, and if she wanted to talk about something, it must be a big scene!

It is naturally impossible to keep the women silent during the whole process of working together.

Song Qiu was also happy to listen to the short and lively talk of everyone's parents. It's interesting to listen to, isn't it?
Just stop working and talk non-stop.

Liu cauliflower couldn't be sold, so he immediately said, "It's the Cheng family's business! Why don't the boss keep talking? Many people from all over the world brought their daughters to Cheng's manor. My daughter was born in August, I hope the Cheng family can pick me up!"

"It stands to reason that after working so hard for a few days, I heard that many girls born in August have been found, but the Cheng family didn't make a noise saying who is the right one, and everyone is watching. ?”

"Early this morning, someone from the Cheng family announced something! A woman from the Cheng family came into the village to announce it everywhere. My husband's house is close to Cheng's village, so she came quickly, so I just heard about it first. No, I'll eat it soon. Come back right away!"

"The Cheng family made it clear this time that Chongxi's baby girl will be born at the exact moment of the ninth day of the eighth lunar month. The person's frame is clearly defined, and it's not good if it's a day or a quarter away!
I also said that as long as it is a girl at this time of the day, Xu Jinjinqian will be the dowry gift!If she can succeed, then she will be the serious young mistress of the Cheng family, and she will never quit. If she can't, the Cheng family will treat this girl as their own daughter, and not only find her a husband, but also marry her generously! "

Everyone was stunned when they heard it, and Mrs. Zhang immediately said: "Hey, such a good thing! How much is a thousand taels of gold? Old lady, I have never seen what gold looks like in my life. I heard that it is worth more than silver. A lot, right?"

"Also, it's not good to rush. Really treat this girl as a daughter-in-law and marry her off? The Cheng family is indeed a great kind person! They are really considerate of others!"

"Such a good thing, if it were me, I would be willing to do it ten thousand times! Not only can I get a thousand taels of gold, but when it's over, my daughter will give it away, and someone else will worry about the marriage and marry it. What a wonderful thing? And if it's done, But they are in-laws with the Cheng family!"

"I've been looking for this for a few days, but I haven't found it. You can't possibly! Who would deliberately hide their daughter's birthday and not report it?"

"It should be a leak? Otherwise, the Cheng family wouldn't have waited to increase the benefits right now, and even stated the specific time clearly!"

"We'll see if we can find it this time."

"However, why are these horoscopes so specific? The Taoist priest of Chengyang is the true spirit? Who remembers him so clearly when he was born on the ninth day of the eighth lunar month? It's my baby boy. It's only been two years, and I can't remember exactly what happened to him. Was it born in Chenshi quarter or two quarters? At that time, my daughter-in-law couldn't give birth for a long time, and the house was a mess, and it was all hanging about why she hadn't given birth yet. How could she care about when she was born? Mrs. Yuan, do you still remember?" Old Meng Liu's wife clicked her tongue.

Old Yuan Shi was being shocked by the birth of the ninth child in August, and her heart was in a mess. Mrs. Liu asked her, but she didn't hear.

It was Mrs. Liu who yelled twice before she came back to her senses, "What do you remember? Your little daughter-in-law gave birth to her first child, and she yelled so badly that I couldn't even yell. Let me show you again, but I forgot to remember if it was a quarter or two."

"That's right, who remembers it so clearly." Mrs. Liu nodded seriously, "I didn't say that, if someone was born in the ninth day of junior high school, but Zizheng was not born at the same time, where do you think the Cheng family can confirm it?" Yes or no?"

The women talked about it all the time, and it was quite a bustling scene.

Suddenly, Jinjuhua screamed, "Oh! Aunt Zhang, I remember that Lihua was born in the ninth day of junior high school, right? It was at night, and I was the red egg harvested the next morning. My Taozhi had diarrhea after eating the red egg. It took a few days to recover, so I remember it clearly!"
