After two or three miles and a quarter of an hour, the three of them arrived at Tianbao Village. This was their first time collecting eggs, and they didn't know which one had it.

After entering the village, I met the first household and happened to see a woman in the yard. Mrs. Song struck up a conversation and said, "Sister-in-law! I'm from Xiahe Village. I want to collect some eggs and duck eggs for home. Do you have any?" Do you sell eggs and duck eggs?”

"Yeah, your family is collecting eggs for a happy event? That's unfortunate. Someone in our village is going to marry a wife in the next two days, so they have to buy all the eggs. My family has saved seven or eight dollars in these two days. Do you want one?"

The woman heard that she came from Xiahe Village to buy eggs, so she didn't think much about it. She just thought that they didn't buy eggs in Xiahe Village. After all, there were many happy events in the twelfth lunar month. The rules of their eight villages included marrying a wife and the full moon. There must be eight wedding eggs at the banquet.

Mrs. Song also didn't expect to encounter someone holding a wedding banquet in her village. She heard that there were only seven or eight wedding banquets, so it was better than nothing. She said, "Yes! Seven or eight will do, too!"

At that moment, the woman asked the three Song ladies to wait in the yard, while she went into the house to get the eggs.

"Here, there are eight eggs!" The woman took them out and gave them to Mrs. Song and said, "I heard you said you also wanted duck eggs? Why do you need duck eggs for a wedding in your family?"

Duck eggs are cheaper than eggs. You can buy three of them for two cents, but they are not as delicious as eggs and have a fishy smell.

"Hey, our house is not used for weddings! We must use eggs for weddings!" Mrs. Song took the eggs and hurriedly explained.

The woman listened and thought about it. Duck eggs were used for weddings. That was the joke of the people who fooled the villagers.

Immediately he said: "Then it would be easier if you also collect duck eggs. Huang Daliang's family at the end of our village raises a lot of ducks, and his duck eggs must be quite accurate. Just go to his house and have a look! I think other families in the village have eggs. There’s nothing left.”

Mrs. Song hurriedly thanked her sister-in-law for informing her, gave her the money for eight eggs, put the eggs in a basket, asked Huang Daliang how to get there, and went to the end of the village.

On this trip, they had to pass through the village. Mrs. Song pointed out to Shiliu which family the Lin family was from a distance. They had visited the Lin family before, so they naturally knew where the Lin family was.

After listening to this, Shiliu took a look at the Lin family's house. She saw that the Lin family's blue brick house was shiny, and she could tell that their family background was pretty good.

They are here to do business, not to visit relatives. They will go to the Lin family in two days to settle down. Now that they have visited the Lin family, the Song family has no intention of visiting, but if they meet, they will definitely come. After all, the person saying hello is the future in-laws.

Walking past the Lin family's house, the door to the Lin family's courtyard was closed, so the three of them just walked past.

Arriving at Huang Daliang's house at the end of the village, "Is anyone home?"

After a while, a woman came out. Seeing the three unknown people, she was also curious, "Who are you looking for?"

"This is Huang Daliang's house, right? I heard that your house sells duck eggs. We are here to buy duck eggs!" Mrs. Song said.

When the woman heard that she was here to buy duck eggs, she also smiled, "Buying duck eggs? There are many! How many do you want?"

Duck eggs are not easy to sell. They have no choice but to keep them for themselves if they can sell them. This saves money on buying meat. This is the first time that someone in the family comes here to buy duck eggs specifically. !

"As long as they are good eggs, I want as many as they can!"

When the mother-in-law heard this, she immediately became happy and said, "Then they must all be good eggs! We have a lot of ducks that lay eggs, and we have to pick up a dozen of them a day. We also eat them ourselves, so we won't let them go bad." ! Come on, come in and sit down, I’ll get you eggs!”

The mother-in-law warmly greeted Mrs. Song to come in, moved a small bench for them to sit on, and shouted to her granddaughter to take out the egg basket and be gentle.

After a while, a basket of duck eggs still stained with duck feces was carried to Song and the others. It looked like a lot, and after counting, there were a total of one hundred and thirty-five!

Fortunately, the money was easy to calculate, and it happened to be ninety cents.

When Mrs. Song was counting along, she carefully checked to see if there were any bad eggs. The eggs looked hard to see on the surface, and they were a bit thin. If you cracked them open and ate them, you knew they wouldn't be usable, so you had to shake them and listen. .

Pomegranate didn't know how to listen to eggs, so she just let her mother check the number. After the eggs were counted, she put them into the basket she brought and gave her money. Before leaving, Pomegranate made a special arrangement with Huang Daliang's wife. They kept all the duck eggs, and every few days they collected a hundred eggs and sent them to Li Jihe's house in Xiahe Village.

These duck eggs will be sold in the future. They will deliver them even dozens of miles away, let alone just a few miles to your door!
Huang Daliang's wife was overjoyed and hurriedly responded, "Okay, I'll bring you a hundred eggs if you can get them together! Are you from Xiahe Village? Li Jihe's family? This sounds familiar——"

"Hey! The second daughter of the Lin Pingshan family is the one whose family name is Li in Xiahe Village - it seems to be the Li Jihe family, is it your family?"

Mrs. Song smiled and nodded, "Yes!"

"Ouch! Then we are not outsiders! Don't worry, fellow villagers. Once we have collected enough duck eggs, we will send them to your home immediately to ensure that they are all good eggs and we will not fool you!"

The people in the country are very rich, so there is no need to fool around with the duck eggs produced by them.

The Song family members were escorted all the way by Huang Daliang's daughter-in-law for a long time, and their ears were clear. I have to say that this woman's mouth is really easy to talk about, and she is so enthusiastic.

Returning the way we came, we passed by Lin's house and happened to meet Hong who had opened the courtyard door and was about to come out.

Mrs. Song grinned hurriedly and was about to open her mouth to say hello, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Hong had clearly seen them and suddenly looked away as if she hadn't seen them. She also said something about something she had forgotten. Gu Zi closed the door again and turned around to go back.

The sound Song was about to say was choked back, and she couldn't help but turn around and ask Shiliu, "Did she just see us?"

This is right at the door of Lin's house. It's a distance that can be seen by looking up. How can three living people be invisible?
Shiliu was also curious. Could it be that Hong was thinking that there was something he didn't take and turned around to see it?

But the three of them stood at the door for a while, but they didn't see Hong, who turned back to ask for something, to open the door again.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, puzzled in their hearts, and did not knock on the door to call for help. They just continued to move forward and left the door of Lin's house.

All the way out of Tianbao Village, Ms. Song still didn't understand, "Pomegranate, did you say your aunt really didn't see us just now?"

Shiliu shook her head, "Mom, what did you say that day? Is this marriage really agreed upon? Didn't you hear me wrong?"

"How can I be wrong about this kind of thing? The Lin family had already negotiated the deal that day, even the price of the bride price was clearly stated. How could there be any mistake?" Madam Song said hurriedly.

But if it’s true, this is an actual in-laws’ visit, and if you don’t let those in for a drink of water, you still have to say hello, right? It’s not like he’s an unknown stranger—

It was strange for her to say it, so she couldn't help but said: "Tomorrow I will have someone bring a message to your aunt and grandma to ask what happened."

Standing outside the door at such a close distance, it was impossible to miss him. This was too strange.
