Farmer's Head: Busy farming

Chapter 247

In the blink of an eye, it was March in Yangchun. Although Meng Hai was still coughing, his body was getting better day by day.

Because Xi'er came back, the old couple felt somewhat comforted. No matter how good this daughter-in-law is, she can't compare to her daughter.

"Xi'er, tomorrow you and your sister-in-law will go to the town to buy some chickens, so it's time to buy a pig." Mrs. Liu stroked her hair with embroidery stitches, and then said to Xi'er who was writing the account book.

Since Xi'er has already planned to stay in Baimiao Village and start to do her own business, everything has to start again. The family's field can be rented out because of the winter's fattening. This will be a large source of income for the family .

After much deliberation, it is better to make an account. It is better to write down the expenditure and income if you have a number in mind.

"En, I got it, mother." Xi'er nodded, and continued to write and draw. She read the account book by herself, and used Arabic numerals directly to prevent others from peeping at it. In this way, Xi'er is the only one who owns the account book. People can understand it.

Seeing her writing and drawing very seriously, Mrs. Liu couldn't help asking, "What are you writing? When will you know how to read?"

"It's all taught by Chu Zigui, and I'm learning it quickly." Xi'er turned her head to look at Liu Shi, smiled sweetly, and said.

Because I went to Bianjing City once, and now I have reasons and excuses to do many things when I come back, no matter how puzzled my family is, I can't go to Bianjing City to find Chu Zigui.

"The young master of the Chu family is a good one. You are back, so are you two out of play?" Liu was stunned, and then asked, although she liked Chu Zigui very much in her heart, but honestly, she didn't feel that she His daughter is worthy of such a young master.

Xi'er couldn't help laughing, looked at Mrs. Liu and asked seriously, "Mother, what's the matter? Why is there no show? How about having a show?"

"I have to find a matchmaker as soon as possible to tell you about the show. After five months, you will be a big girl. Don't be procrastinated like your second sister. No one wants to be an old lady if you procrastinate." He said in a hurry, when he mentioned Meng Yuaner, he still had lingering fears in his heart, if he had talked about marriage earlier, he might not have married Xu Qing. ,

"Second brother-in-law is very good." Xi'er couldn't help but said, remembering that Xu Qing accompanied Meng Yuan'er back to her mother's house before, and she acted very knowledgeable and reasonable. Hearing a few words from herself, she wanted to buy some pens and ink to write. Two days later, I asked my second sister to send a set back. Although it didn't cost much, she had a good intention.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but shook her head, and seeing Xi'er helping Xu Qing speak, she said, "You are short-handed, what's the matter? I bought you with just a little pen and ink? Look at his body, he doesn't look like a People who can live."

"Chu Zigui is also quite thin, mother, do you think he is a man of life?" Xi'er has already decided in her heart that it is Chu Zigui, so she might as well talk to Liu Shi more at this moment.

"How can it be the same? Master Chu is a young master with a wealth of wealth. If you really marry him, won't you be a young lady in the future?" Liu retorted after hearing this.

For some reason, Xi'er, a thought flashed through her mind, "Then if he wants to be with me, why shouldn't he be the young master of the rich family?"

When Liu Shi heard this, she fell silent, put down the sewing basket in her hand, and then asked, "What do you mean? You're not a young master anymore?"

"That's right, will mother despise him?" Xi'er nodded.

"Then don't dislike it, don't dislike it, if someone sacrifices so much for you, he will definitely treat you well." Facing Chu Zigui, Liu's heart is always infinitely tolerant.

Xi'er smiled helplessly, her own mother had a typical double standard, "Mother, you really have no principles."

"What principle?" Liu was taken aback, not quite understanding what Xi'er meant.

Xi'er smiled, but didn't say anything, but kept Liu Shi's words in her heart.

The sum of all the silver on my body is only more than 70 taels, and there is no surplus silver taels at home, anyway, the total is only five taels of silver. After returning with Chu Zi, he never considered money issues. Xi'er returned home and had to take care plan up.

She didn't reveal too much about her private money to Mrs. Liu, but took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the family first. After all, the 70 taels was her last money, and every penny had to be spent wisely.

The next day, Xi'er woke up early, because she had told Mrs. Zhang in advance, and Mrs. Zhang was also very enthusiastic and agreed.

Mrs. Zhang carried Fugui to Mrs. Liu's house, and accompanied Xi'er to the town.

This was Xi'er's first visit to the town after returning to Baimiao Village. Looking at the yelling people, she was in a daze for a moment, as if she was standing on the streets of Bianjing City and could see Chu Zigui's smiling face as soon as she turned her head.

Mrs. Zhang took Xi'er to the market. It was very lively, because it was early spring, and there seemed to be more people setting up stalls. Walking into the market, you could hear the chirping of livestock.

"Xi'er, we also want to buy a pig, let's raise it together." Mrs. Zhang remembered the discussion with Meng Changdong last night. The two felt that it would be more cost-effective to buy a pig by themselves, and it would be convenient to give a gift or whatever. .

Xi'er didn't have any objections, "Well, it's okay, the pigsty at home is big enough anyway."

"Don't worry, put them together and I'll chop pig grass for them, so you don't have to worry about it." Seeing that she agreed, Mrs. Zhang was relieved.

Although the family is no longer separated, in Zhang's heart, he still sees the family separately. When he made a fuss about separating the family, he didn't divide the back yard. There is no place to raise chickens and pigs.

"That's a good idea, sister-in-law, why don't we buy five in total and share them together at that time, and we can sell them for money after the Chinese New Year." Xi'er thought for a while, Zhang Shi didn't have anything to do all day long, and he was idle when he was idle. with.

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and then said, "That's fine, anyway, I'm fine."

The two made an agreement, and went directly to the place where the piglets were sold. All the little black pigs, with such long arms, gathered together, looked very miniature.

After all, Xi'er is not a girl who really lives in the countryside, and she doesn't know what to choose in this matter, so she can only rely on Zhang's ability to be more proficient.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang did not disappoint, she quickly selected five piglets, and bargained with the seller for a price of [-] Wen.

Xi'er led the little black pig strung together with hemp rope, and followed Mrs. Zhang to buy chickens and ducklings. Seen from a distance, she was followed by five black coal balls, which was a bit ridiculous.

The two of them bought something and went to the grocery store. They planned to hire an ox cart to put the chickens, ducks and piglets away. When they reached the intersection, they heard a familiar voice shouting, "Sister Xi'er!"
