Farmer's Head: Busy farming

Chapter 257
Chapter 257

Meng Hai turned his head and saw Xi'er's little red face, jumping in the distance and standing in the ground with the hoe in his hand, he shouted loudly, "What's the matter?"

Xi'er smiled, trotted to the ridge next to Meng Hai and stood there, knelt down to pick up the tobacco pot, stuffed tobacco leaves in it, and then said to Meng Hai, "Father, I've brought you tobacco leaves. Take a break." After speaking, she shook the bamboo basket in her hand, which contained water she had packed in a bamboo tube.

When going out, Xi'er was well prepared, water to drink, cigarettes to smoke, and a bag of fire. This gesture of courtship is very skillful, and it seems that it is not infrequent.

Meng Hai nodded, put the hoe in the field, walked up to the ridge and sat down beside Xi'er, took a sip of water from the earthen bowl from his daughter's hand, took the cigarette pot and started smoking, then smiled and looked at Looking at Xi'er, she asked, "What's wrong with you? What do you want to do?"

"I just thought of Daddy working so hard, so I came to deliver water!" Xi'er kept silent about the grocery store, with a serious face.

Meng Hai nodded thoughtfully, without asking any further questions, and continued smoking his pipe.

Xi'er was taken aback, Dad was not like this before, why didn't he ask today?Seeing that Meng Hai's pot of cigarettes was about to be exhausted and he had no intention of opening his mouth, Xi'er finally couldn't help but said, "Father, I have something to discuss with you."

"Well, let's talk." I knew Meng Hai's face, looked at Xi'er, and then said leisurely.

Looking at her father's composure and calmness, Xi'er had to admire, Jiang is still old and spicy, she clearly knows that she has something to say, but she can hold back from asking herself.

"Father, I want to open a grocery store. What do you think? I asked Mother, and Mother told me to ask you!" Xi'er always spoke directly to Meng Hai.

Although the money is her own, she really treats these people as family members. Since they are family members, the whole family has to discuss everything, so that they feel like family.

Meng Hai was stunned for a moment and didn't speak for a while, obviously thinking about this problem. He turned his head to look at Xi'er, and seeing Xi'er's serious face, he asked, "Why do you want to do business?"

"Father, I see that you are working too hard. If our family opens a grocery store, you can help in the store. Let's rent out this field, so you can relax." Xi'er told the truth, if you really open Grocery store, one person must be too busy.

Meng Hai nodded, and then said, "But our family's ancestors have eaten in the fields for generations. I really don't understand this kind of business."

"Father, you learn everything slowly!" Hearing Meng Hai's tone, Xi'er knew there was something to be done!

If Meng Hai felt that something was useless, he would definitely reject it immediately, but after thinking about it, it was not true. For example, his father did not agree with the matter of the second sister at first, but he was tortured by the second sister, and finally let her marry him. Xu Qing.

"But our family doesn't have this kind of money?" Meng Hai can be said to have brought out the core problem, "Besides, this Baimiao Village is so big, what if it loses money?"

"Father, I do have the money." Xi'er heard Meng Hai's rational question, and said, "When I was in Bianjing, Mr. Chu lent me 100 taels."

"What? 100 taels?" Meng Hai was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "You, why are you so courageous."

In fact, the 100 taels belonged to Xi'er from Chu Zi, but Xi'er said it was borrowed, presumably she had made up her mind to do something.

Xi'er nodded, and then said, "Yes, not only did I borrow 100 and [-], but I also owed them a lot of money. Dad, I must open this grocery store. I can earn money early so that I can pay them back. of."

"Mr. Chu, are you in a hurry? How about I borrow some and you pay it back first?" Meng Hai couldn't help but feel a little anxious. With what happened to Meng Jiang before, what Meng Hai feared most when he heard the word "borrow" money.

"Father!" Seeing Meng Hai worried about him, complaining that he was not good at borrowing money, but still trying to help him pay back the money, Xi'er's eyes were a little sore, and then he said, "Don't worry, this I don’t have to pay it back for a while, I just borrowed money to do business.”

"Since you've made up your mind, let's do it." Meng Hai pondered for a moment, and then said, "If you need Dad to help you with something, just say, your dad and I are old bones, and I don't know a single word, but All your strength!"

Seeing what Meng Hai said, Xi'er couldn't help but want to cry, she is now a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, if she was five or six years old, she would plunge into Meng Hai's arms and act like a baby.

Seeing that Xi'er was about to cry, Meng Hai handed over the bowl in his hand, and then said, "Pour some more water."

Xi'er sobbed choked up, nodded, "Yeah."

Bringing water to Meng Hai, Xi'er didn't forget about Meng Changdong, and made another trip to deliver it to Meng Changdong.

When Xi'er returned home, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang were already preparing to cook. Seeing her coming back, she smiled and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Father, listen to me!" Xi'er grinned, and then looked at Mrs. Liu triumphantly.

Mrs. Liu was taken aback, and heard Xi'er say that Meng Hai actually agreed. Seeing Xi'er's happy face, she couldn't help complaining, "The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!"

Xi'er didn't get angry at this loving complaint, she stepped forward and took Liu Shi's arm, changed the subject and said, "Mother, what delicious food are you doing today?"

Mrs. Liu pointed at the rice porridge in the pot, and then said, "If you eat something delicious, eat porridge."

What Xi'er dislikes the most is rice porridge. At this moment, she frowned and looked at Mrs. Liu, and said pitifully, "Mother, I want to eat meat."

"Xi'er, mother is teasing you, I made you pork noodles." Seeing that Xi'er is so big and still acting like a spoiled child to Liu Shi, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel a little envious, and said hastily.

Hearing what Zhang said, Xi'er finally laughed, "I knew that Niangsi loves me the most."

At the dinner table, Xi'er brought up this matter again, Meng Hai had already agreed, Liu's face was naturally indifferent, but Meng Changdong and Zhang's reaction was very strong.

Meng Changdong was supportive, but it was the opposite when Mrs. Zhang went. When Mrs. Liu saw that her daughter-in-law was as she thought, she immediately stood on the same front.

"Xi'er, it's really not my sister-in-law talking about you. Think about it, what if you lose money with so much money? What if you can't sell it? What kind of business do you have as a girl? How can you marry out in the future? What about it?" Mrs. Zhang put down the bowl and chopsticks, then looked at Xi'er and said earnestly.
