Farmer's Head: Busy farming

Chapter 256 Meeting an Acquaintance
Chapter 256

With a plan in mind, Xi'er began to do research in the village.

But she kept asking people here and there, and after she couldn't ask a few words, some people became unhappy and thought Xi'er had other intentions. Now, some people saw Xi'er and walked away.

Xi'er couldn't help but feel a little depressed, so she didn't ask any more questions, she just asked those people what they needed to buy on weekdays, and which things they were going to buy in the town, but why did everyone avoid her?

"Mother, people in the village almost regarded me as a bad person." Xi'er sat down beside Mrs. Liu depressedly, and Mrs. Liu held the sleeping Meng Fugui in her arms.

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at her daughter, and saw Xi'er's sad face, she smiled and said, "You child, you have been running outside these days, and you just ask There are a lot of people, what are you doing?"

"I'm just doing research!" Xi'er said now, "I thought, if it's not possible, we should open a grocery store in our village, so that people in the village can buy things conveniently, and they won't have to pay for salt. run that far."

"You want to open a shop?" Mrs. Liu was taken aback for a moment, and then said hastily, "This old Meng family has never been in business yet!"

"Mother, you can make a lot of money doing business!" Seeing Liu's surprised face, Xi'er hurriedly said, "You can make a lot of money doing business and farming."

"But how can our family have money to do business?" Mrs. Liu naturally understands this truth. She is not a fool, but her family is so poor, and now she only has three meals to eat. Doing business is a bit delusional.

"It doesn't cost much money." Xi'er said leisurely, thinking that she was still 70 taels of silver, everything was enough.

Seeing that she was so calm and confident, Mrs. Liu couldn't help asking in surprise, "What's the matter? Could it be that you still want to be a shopkeeper?"

"Businessman?" Xi'er couldn't help smiling and patted herself on the shoulder, before asking Liu Shi, "Mother, do you think I can jump on that pole?"

"If you're not a peddler, how do you sell it? A store is not allowed to ask for money!" Seeing that Xi'er is not a peddler, Liu quickly said, "Don't mess around, it's really impossible, mother-in-law will tell you about your husband's family."

"Mother, please don't!" Xi'er immediately said anxiously, then looked at Mrs. Liu very seriously, "Mother, I want to earn a dowry for myself."

"Nonsense, there is no girl who prepares the dowry by herself, don't worry, your dowry mother will prepare it for you." Liu Shi gave Xi'er a look, and then she thought to herself, the eldest girl puts on the dowry all day long, Also not ashamed.

Xi'er didn't think about it so much, but when she heard what Liu said, she was rather curious, "Mother, what dowry did you prepare for me?"

"Don't ask too many questions, you'll know when you get married!" Mrs. Liu glanced at her angrily, and then complained, "Why is such a big girl so out of shape all day long!"

"Mother~~~" Xi'er said coquettishly, every time she heard Liu's complaint-like concern, her heart would be sweet, "Mother, do you agree?"

"You should discuss this kind of important matter with your father. I'm a woman and I don't understand." Liu shook her head, obviously not wanting to take matters into her own hands.

Seeing Liu's evasion, Xi'er snorted softly, "Hmph, then I'll talk to my father."

After saying this, he rubbed a high-quality tobacco leaf from the cigarette jar in the main room and took it out the door. Because it was spring, Meng Hai and Meng Changdong went to work in their own fields.

Xi'er knows that her father is just a smoker, and at this moment, she wants to do what he likes.

From afar, Xi'er saw an acquaintance, carrying a hoe, walking in her direction.

Xi'er was walking on the ridge of the field, and there was no place to hide here. After thinking about it, she did not feel sorry for him.

Li Daniu knew that Xi'er was back, but he never had a chance to see Xi'er. After returning home, Xi'er stayed in the house all day, never going out.

Seeing Xi'er getting closer and closer, Li Daniu felt like a kitten scratching his head. He looked at Xi'er with mixed emotions in his heart. He didn't know that Xi'er had someone throw him into the beggars' pile.

"Xi'er." Li Daniu kept pursing his lips, until Xi'er ignored him and passed by him, he finally couldn't help opening his mouth.

Xi'er was a little scared, afraid of Li Daniu's revenge, so when she heard Li Daniu calling her name, she trembled, then turned her head, looked at him, and said nothing.

In Li Daniu's eyes, Xi'er's guilty conscience turned into fear. Thinking of what he did that night, he felt very remorseful, but everything had already happened, and there was no room for redemption. Seeing Xi'er looking at him, Li Daniu said restrainedly, "Xi'er, you're back."

"What's the matter?" Xi'er frowned and looked at Li Daniu, seeing him smiling, she felt very uneasy.

Li Daniu saw a trace of disgust in Xi'er's eyes, and he couldn't help being stunned, and then said melancholy, "I, I'm married."

"Oh? Is that so? Congratulations!" Xi'er said with a cold smile.

Seeing Xi'er say this, Li Daniu was silent for a while, seeing that Xi'er was about to turn around and leave again, he said quickly, "But, but I don't like my wife."

"What's none of my business?" Xi'er couldn't help feeling ridiculous, did Li Daniu feel that there was still a chance to pursue her now?

"No, it's nothing, just to tell you." Li Daniu's eyes flashed a trace of loneliness, his burly figure stood there pitifully at the moment, it didn't make people feel pity, but it was like a joke.

Xi'er said "Oh" indifferently at this moment, then turned and left.

Although he looked very calm on the surface, his back was already sweating, and Li Daniu looked like he didn't know it was his idea, so that was really great.

Li Daniu stared at Xi'er's back in a daze, and stood there for a long, long time, until he couldn't see Xi'er's figure, until his eyes were sore, he didn't move a bit.

Xi'er used to walk briskly, but at the moment it is unavoidably heavy. If she hadn't seen Li Daniu again today, she would have almost forgotten that unbearable memory. This Li Daniu is really lingering.

In fact, she didn't know that if it wasn't for her sudden arrival, if the original owner was still alive, she would be able to make a pair with Li Daniu. In the dark, something has been quietly changing, not just Xi'er's fate, Including other people too.

"Father, are you busy?" Xi'er finally walked to the ridge of her own field, and saw Meng Hai vigorously raising the hoe to loosen the soil. Xi'er looked at it from a distance and yelled, afraid that Meng Hai would not see her and jumped up. Get up and wave.
