Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 79 No.70 Chapter Eight: Again
The eight chicks were chattering in the yard, jumping around happily, so happy.

Song Qiu broke the captured earthworms into many small pieces and scattered them on the ground. The broken earthworms were still desperately digging into the mud as soon as they hit the ground, their lives were exuberant.

But a swarm of chicks came over and quickly turned into chicken food.

Song Qiu clapped his hands, stood up, and said to the old Yuan who was chopping pigweed: "It depends on how many of these eight we can feed, and there are only one or two left, which is enough for us to eat and entertain guests during the New Year." gone."

Old Yuan could not help nodding when she heard this, "It's hard to feed chickens, and we don't have the skills of your Aunt Meifu, so we are satisfied if we can feed two or three."

When it was completely dark, Song Qiu heated up the leftover winter vegetable porridge at noon, and served a plate of courgettes mixed with sesame oil, vinegar, and soy sauce. The grandfather and grandson sat under the eaves and ate them.

That day, the mosquitoes were plentiful, and the feet were very bound. Fortunately, the socks and trousers were tightly wrapped, and the mosquitoes couldn't get in the door, so they had to go where they could bite.

Song Qiu was quick, and slapped the mosquito that had just stuck to his forehead, and flicked it aside, "There are a lot of mosquitoes tonight, so you should be careful when you sleep."

The mosquito bites are itchy, and there is no ointment to rub.

Old Yuan Shi nodded, and after eating and washing, he took a cattail fan and went to Song Qiu's room, and beat it on the bed again and again, and felt that the mosquitoes were almost fanned, then put down one side of the bed curtain, and carefully After listening, I didn't hear the sound of mosquitoes, so I put down the other side and pressed it tightly.

"I've wiped out all the mosquitoes for you. Go in and sleep. Don't lift the bed curtain if it's okay. It may be a little hot. This cattail fan is for you, and there is another one at the nurse's place."

Song Qiu took the palm-leaf fan, sent the old Yuan out of the house, and then came back, carefully and quickly lay down under the mosquito-filled bed net, fanning the wind with the palm-leaf fan, but couldn't help smiling.

When I was a child in my previous life, there was no air conditioner or fan, so cattail fans were the most useful.

At that time, she slept with grandma, and every night grandma would wipe out the mosquitoes and close the bed curtain to prevent the mosquitoes from biting her.

He also fanned her to let her sleep quickly.

Song Qiu thought, and smiled.

The cattail fan was blowing, it was very cool, and soon fell into a sweet dreamland.

Waking up early the next morning, it was another day of picking mushrooms up the mountain with a basket on my back.

On the way, Zhang Lihua also talked about the fact that the mushrooms were not so easy to sell, "My fourth uncle brought two baskets of mushrooms to the town yesterday, and by the next afternoon, there were still more than half of the baskets left. Seeing that the mushrooms are almost gone this year , so my grandma asked me to just pick for half a day every day, and go to collect pigweed and firewood in the afternoon."

Song Qiuqian didn't know about the situation in the town, but now he heard Lihua say that the mushrooms were not going to be sold any more, so he couldn't help but sigh, okay, it seems that the days of picking mushrooms are almost over.

However, let's go to the town tomorrow to have a look and talk about it.

"Then pick it up for a long time. I'll pick it up for a day first, and you'll be picking your firewood in the afternoon. It's the same."

It was decided, and the two picked up the fungus seriously.

Originally, I planned to pick up mushrooms for a day today, and serve them with some vegetables from the vegetable garden, and go to town early tomorrow morning.

But as soon as lunch was finished, a man from another village came to pick him up with a cart, and asked old Yuan to deliver the baby.

When I asked, it was from the opposite village, it was a little far away, and I don't know when it will be when I came back tonight.

Song Qiu sent old Yuan Shi away, after thinking about it, he went on to pick up the fungus, if it was okay, it would be the same if she went to sell it by herself tomorrow.

Otherwise, there is nothing else to do right now, and this business cannot be delayed.

After avoiding the biggest sun in the afternoon, Song Qiu and Zhang Lihua were about to go up the mountain with a basket on their backs and a hatchet.

At that time, under the big banyan tree, Mr. Tang came out for a walk during his lunch break.

As soon as I sat down on the stone ridge under the tree, I saw a person wandering in from outside the village, it was the old man who came here yesterday.

"Big Brother, where are you going to take a break? Brother, I came here to find you again." Before the old man approached, he greeted him with a smile.

When Mr. Tang saw someone coming, a dark light flashed almost invisible in his eyes, and he smiled on his face, "It's my brother? I was thinking about you in my heart, and you came here just as soon as I sat down, hurry up, come here Sit down, let's have a good chat."

There are few people of the same age in this village, Mr. Tang seems to be very enthusiastic when he meets such a speculative person.

The old man took advantage of the opportunity to sit over, and said first: "Brother, I was a servant yesterday. The thick student you asked me about is really from our stone village? I went back yesterday and asked specifically, but the thick student in our village , I'm still young, so I don't have any plans to talk about kissing!"

"Oh? The rich students in your village don't talk about relatives? Could it be the thick students from some other village? I heard from my daughter-in-law that it's Stone Village or something. Maybe it's because I'm an errand?" Mr. Tang looked confused. Well confused.

The old man nodded hurriedly, "Maybe that's right, I heard my family say that there is a boy named Housheng in Dazao Village next door who is looking for a matchmaker to talk about marriage. I should be talking about him, right?"

Mr. Tang nodded, "Maybe it is. I will ask my daughter-in-law later, but I should trouble my brother to find out."

"It's okay, it's okay, I have nothing to do." The old man quickly waved his hands.

"My brother is blessed, and his children and grandchildren are promising!"

"Where is it, I can't compare to you, old brother!"

"Why can't it compare? I heard that every household in your stone village has a lot of fields. It should be a time when you are very busy. My brother has retired in the middle of the day and can walk around. Isn't it because the children and grandchildren in the family can do well?" .”

"...Ha, that's right, that's right, please tell me, my grandson is not useful, as long as he can work well, and there are many people in the family, there is no need for me who can't work like this!"

"Hehe, that's a blessing."

"Yes, yes, my brother is also a blessing," the old man said, his eyes glanced at the two little girls who were going up the mountain on the gentle slope, and then he said, "brother, the children in your village are all diligent!" It’s very good, everyone says that, but it’s true, there’s still some sun, so it’s going to the mountains? Little girl, don’t be afraid of being sunburned.”

Mr. Tang took a follow-up glance, "My brother also knows that our village has no land, so we rely on mountains to eat. These two little girls are the most diligent in our village."

He didn't think too much about it, he just felt that it was true in his heart, Aqiu girl and Lihua girl were hardworking, and it was not easy, so it would be good for them to spread some reputation for being diligent.

But subconsciously forgot that this person was supposed to be on guard, and there was no need to tell him anything about his reputation.

So he tuned in very quickly, and the conversation was diverted to something else.

Unexpectedly, the old man asked, "then they often go to the mountains to see the sky?"

When Mr. Tang heard that this was wrong, why does this old man always talk about whether it is on the mountain or not?
