The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 198 Pepper Ripe (2)
"What's wrong?" She sighed, Aunt Su and Yang Qiaolian both looked at her: "? Why are you sighing?"

"Tired." Su Xiazhi said casually, "We overturned the house before we started construction and asked people from the whole village to help."

"That's tiring." Aunt Su felt sorry for her daughter and couldn't help her. After thinking about it, she got off the ground and said while putting on her shoes, "Let's go to the east room with mother."

"Why?" Su Xiazhi looked at the chubby little thing on the bed and just wanted to kiss him.

"Where are there so many words, come if you are told!" Aunt Su raised her foot and went out the door first.

"Go quickly." Yang Qiaolian covered her mouth and said with a laugh: "Mother is afraid that you have no money to build a house, so she wants to subsidize you!"

"Really? Then I have to take a look." Su Xiazhi looked away from the child, and when she turned her head, she saw Yang Qiaolian's bulging chest that almost tore her jacket, and she felt dizzy!
She made a gesture of grasping with both hands, and Yang Qiaolian turned her back in a hurry in fright: "Don't touch me, if you don't touch me, it will hurt like fire!"

pain?How can feeding a child still hurt?

Su Xiazhi had no experience in this area, and this issue was not easy to discuss, so she had no choice but to go to the east room with doubts.

"Hold it!" As soon as she entered the door, Aunt Su who was blocking the door handed her a heavy money bag. Su Xiazhi opened it and found that there were mostly copper coins and a small piece of silver in it.

"Hey, that's quite a lot! I didn't expect you to be rich!" Su Xiazhi only took one look, then tied up the purse and handed it to Aunt Su: "Put it away, when I really can't afford the money It's time to come and ask you again."

Aunt Su has been suffering all her life, and only in the last year has she had some spare money on hand, and every time she and Xiucai return to her natal home, Xiucai pays filial piety to her mother-in-law.

Yang Qiaolian doesn't treat her mother-in-law harshly now, and she also competes with her mother-in-law in the housework. She is very tight on money, and always feels that her mother-in-law is a little confused. She would rather give her what she lacks than give it to her. money.

There was still a lot of food to be prepared at home, Su Xiazhi didn't dare to delay any longer, and walked into the yard without saying a few words to her mother. The paper bag was handed to Yang Qiaolian: "It's brown sugar. When I came last time, my mother said that the family didn't have much. Isn't it necessary to eat this during confinement?"

"You have a lot of troubles at home, and my sister-in-law can't help, and I'm still worrying about you..." Yang Qiaolian took the brown sugar, clasped her hands, and felt warm in her heart.

"Where's my brother? Why haven't I seen him since I entered the door for a long time?" It was time to leave, but Su Xiazhi realized that there was no one in the house.

"I'm in the backyard." Su Chunlai answered.

"The things you let the stupid man grow are all popular. Now your brother is sitting in the backyard looking at those spicy things like treasures." Aunt Su followed her daughter to the backyard.

A large piece of pepper has basically matured. The first few times when Su Xiazhi came, those peppers were still facing the direction of growth, but this time it was found that most of them were already hanging down to the ground.

The originally lush branches and leaves showed the characteristics of decay, and became sparse and yellow, revealing the fiery red sharp pepper fruit inside, dyeing this piece of land red is really beautiful!

"This thing is interesting!" Su Chunlai squatted on the edge of the chili field, with a basket full of freshly picked chili peppers at his feet.

The big black dog raised by the family was squatting by the side of the chicken coop, and was wagging its tail excitedly when it saw Su Xiazhi coming over, but it barked anxiously because it was tied to a rope around its neck and couldn't move around.

Su Xiazhi walked over and patted the dog's head, then walked to her brother and squatted down too: "Why is it so interesting?"

She stretched her neck and looked at it for a long time, but she didn't see anything special about the peppers in the field.

"Let me tell you." Throwing the few peppers he picked in his hand into the basket, Su Chunlai grabbed a bunch of pepper leaves nearby, pointed to the fruit on it and said: "When it blooms, it grows from bottom to top." It blooms, and when it is ripe, it ripens from bottom to top. I have planted crops for so many years, but I have never seen anything like this!"

"Oh?" Su Xiazhi knew almost nothing about farming and crops, and her ability was limited to moving the already-planted leeks and shallots from her natal family's field.

Let her brother say this before she noticed that the peppers are really red and ripe fruits hanging from the branches, and the ones on the top of the leaves are occasionally mixed with blue pepper fruits.

"Let's dry it out and keep it for seeds." Half of the peppers in the yard will be the highlight of her spring plowing next year. If this thing can be planted well, then there will be great development in the future...

"The above ones can't be kept as seeds." Su Chunlai picked a pointed green pepper and broke it open for her to see: "See, the seeds on it are small, even if they are planted, there will be few results."

"That's just right!" Su Xiazhi, who had been drooling over the chili peppers for a long time, immediately started to pick the green ones on the branches: "I'll get a few back for cooking!"

Filling the empty space in the back basket with peppers, Su Xiazhi went out of her mother's house, and Yang Qiaolian, who was big and round, followed her out.

"Sister, here you are." She forced the two folded banknotes into the arms of the sister-in-law: "Building a house is a big deal, and money is needed everywhere. This is 20 taels of silver. You use it first, don't worry about it." Too hard on myself, not enough for me to have here!"

To be honest, Su Xiazhi is not short of money now.

Pickled eggs, plus the business of the noodle workshop, she still has a lot of money left after shaving off the cost of the expenses every month. Although it costs a lot to turn Gai Min's small courtyard, she has enough money in her own hands.

The money Yang Qiaolian handed her was useless, but Su Xiazhi still accepted it.

She knew that sister-in-law had a hurdle in her heart, and that hurdle was the fact that she had killed herself.

Although Su Xiazhi had told her about it long ago, everyone should stop mentioning it, but Yang Qiaolian owed her a huge debt.

So she always wanted to compensate her sister-in-law in various ways.It seemed that only in this way could she feel more at ease.

"Success!" Knowing that it would not be needed, Su Xiazhi still took the bank note, put it safely in the lapel of his clothes and thanked him: "I don't want to pretend to be arrogant in front of you, this money is just for me in case of emergency, so I will pay you back." Accepted! Wait for the Chinese New Year..."
