Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 224
My brother-in-law is a shopkeeper. He runs outside all year round, and sometimes he can collect some good things at a low price. This time, he also paid great attention to saving his capital.

Qingli’s elder brother Mo Zigui gave Li Moxuan a writing brush, third brother Mo Zisong gave him a book, second sister Qing Qiang, and cousin Qing Ju both gave needles and threads, so don’t worry about my family, Qingli gave him one The pen holder was still begged to be carved by Mo Zishan, but it is made of rosewood, so it is considered precious.

"Okay, it's time to serve the food, let's shake off your cheeks and eat!"

The aunt yelled, and a few women who came to help, first served dry fried balls and fried peanuts. It was cold and prepared a lot of wine. Everyone drank a few words to warm their stomachs and drive away the cold.

"How much meat is put in this ball, it's so delicious!"

"That's right, Mo Xiucai prepared it carefully, it's delicious!"

The villagers boasted as they ate, Qingli liked the dry fried balls made by the auntie, she secretly kept a small bowl, only ate a few, put it in the space, and left it for the greedy little spirit to eat.

"Mom, such a big fish, there are no restaurants in town that big!"

Everyone was shocked when they saw the newly served sweet and sour fish. Even the patriarch kept chopsticks. Such a big fish is available, but the price is expensive, and most people are reluctant to prepare such a good meal.

"This fish is raised in the pond of someone in the town, otherwise I have nowhere to get it."

Mo Ruhu explained a few words modestly. The family he was talking about was actually his own. When he bought the yard, he ignored the pond. Mrs. Zhang also said that she hadn't looked at it for a long time.In summer, there are lotus flowers in the pond, and no one pays attention to whether there are fish in it.

This meal went up to the patriarch and everyone in the village was very satisfied. The auntie saw that there were still a lot of pastries left, so she packed a lot for the villagers and took them home. Come smiley.

After the guests left, the second sister, cousin, including Qingli were also busy, boiling a large pot of hot water to wash the dishes, returning the tables, chairs and benches to each family, and cleaning up the remaining mess.

"You all go back to the house for a while, I'll wash the dishes."

The little aunt is a hardworking person, so she called a few girls back, and she and Qingli's grandmother washed the dishes together, because there was oil, and plant ash was needed to clean it.

"Mother, younger siblings, stay here for a few more days before you come back. You have also seen that there are many empty rooms at home, all of which are prepared for you."

Mother Liu was cleaning the stove, wiping the sweat off her face with her sleeve. She was too tired to straighten her waist since she was busy in the morning. In order to keep a low profile, the family did not bring the servants from the town back. Those who don't do heavy work get busy suddenly, with backache and leg pain.

"Your father and I want to live here for a few days, but your brother still has to pick up goods. Years ago, he wanted to go out and buy goods once to make a fortune, so as to have a good year."

It’s not easy for my uncle to be a shopkeeper. He has to go to a long distance to buy goods. In order to save costs, he often walks. When he can’t bear it, he takes a ox cart. He always relies on the dry noodles and pickles he brings along the way. Sleeping in the bunk of the inn, there are more than [-] sleepers in a big bunk, and I don’t dare to close my eyes and sleep too hard at night, for fear of losing the goods. It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, so add some couplets, window grilles, lanterns, and dolls with New Year pictures These are very easy to sell, and I will stop after another batch of goods.

"Grandma, let my brother-in-law and sister-in-law stay for two days, don't have to work hard to buy the goods, I've prepared all those goods for him!"

As soon as Qing Li heard about the purchase, she became more energetic and interrupted. Mo Zishan still had a lot of carved gadgets and sewing baskets. She now has several boxes of various silk flowers in her hand, and they are all idle in the space. made.

The second sister has saved up a lot of nets, Qingli is quicker, and can make a lot after waiting for two days, and then sell them to the little uncle, and get the money and live a good year, if you are afraid of the lack of varieties, Adding some rouge gouache is almost the same.

"Oh, our girl Li is really amazing!"

Qingli's grandmother didn't take Tongyan Tongyu seriously, but just kept laughing, praising Qingli for being very sensible, and her appearance is also very good. I heard from her daughter that she got the scar cream at home, so she doesn't have to worry about it in the future The girl was ridiculed because of her looks.

"Little aunt, it's true, my little sister has a lot of ideas!"

Seeing that my uncle didn't believe me, the second sister, Qing Qiang, stood up and spoke out. She also taught her how to make a net with Qingli, and taught Mo Zishan how to weave baskets, which surprised my uncle. Have money-making minds.

After finishing everything, the black was darkened, and my mother Liu and my aunt made another meal. Some of the dishes in the morning table were saved, and I ate another meal. After the meal, grandma, eldest brother, third brother, and second My sister is going back to the town, and Li Moxuan wants to stay in the village for a while, with his father Mo Ruhu to guide him, so he doesn't have to worry about his studies.

Only a quarter of an hour after the meal, the sky was so dark that you couldn't see your fingers. In the courtyard of Qingli's house, red lanterns symbolizing festivals had already been hung up. Parents were standing in the courtyard, ready to send them to the town. Grandparents, my eldest brother, third brother and second sister.

Before leaving, Grandma's face finally showed a hint of worry. Originally, her little girl Mo Guilan promised, but she was nowhere to be seen. She thought that something might be delayed at home, and she waited and waited until it was dark. Knowing that she must not be able to come, the parents are always worried. They had promised, and her third brother's move to a new house is a big deal, so why hasn't anyone come yet? I should come here, maybe something happened.

Grandma thought more and more, and her complexion became even worse. Father Mo Ruhu knew what she was thinking. There were only four brothers in the Mo family, and there was only such a little girl. He also loved her from the bottom of his heart, so he comforted her, "Mother, wait Ask Dongzi to go again tomorrow to see if there is any delay."

"I'm just worried. I haven't seen your little sister for almost a year. You know her mother-in-law. She is still dawdling about not separating the family. We Guilan have to serve the family again, alas."

Grandmother Li sighed, feeling bad, she was not liked by her mother-in-law when she was young, and she couldn't speak nicely because of her clumsy mouth, her mother's family was weak, her mother-in-law ordered her like a cow and a horse, and she usually did all the heavy work at home by herself In the winter, I have to go to the river to wash clothes. The mother-in-law refuses to let her use hot water to save firewood. , it is her son and daughter-in-law who are dragging her down, and she doesn't want her daughter to follow her old path. She blames the marriage that the mother-in-law made for the little girl when she was alive.

Qingli's sister-in-law, Mo Guilan, married into a well-to-do family. There were three uncles and brothers, and he ranked second. Knowing how to work hard, he takes care of most of the [-] acres of land in the family, and he also does some carpentry, but the money earned is handed over, and my sister-in-law and uncle don't have any money, and they can't afford to have meat at home. The two of them, together with the fact that they have been married for two years and are not yet pregnant, always get supercilious looks from their mother-in-law, and from time to time they insinuate that she is a hen that doesn't lay eggs.
