farmhouse ditty

Chapter 151 Pull back the original number?

Xiao Xiang'er pushed open the courtyard door, blinked her big black and white eyes, and looked back at the courtyard.

Chu An came out gasping. He grew a little taller, but the child's temper was still the same as before.

Xiu Niang looked at the two little devils and smiled unconsciously. She talked to Father Chu and Mrs. Shen in the courtyard, and then walked out.

Xiao Xiang'er glanced at Chu'an, then at Xiuniang, and called out, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

Xiu Niang glanced at her, squatted down with a smile, and said to her, "What's the matter, Xiang'er?"

Xiao Xiang'er pursed her lips, "Sister-in-law, are you still here?"

Xiu Niang smiled, and picked up the diabolo basket in her hand, "Why don't you come, my sister-in-law is here today, and she brought some eggs for you and Anzi, and she will come to see you when she is free, Xiang'er Be obedient."

Xiao Xiang'er listened, and then she bent her big black and white eyes, "Yeah."

Chu An looked disapproving, and he snorted, "You're lying again, you said that before, but you only came to see me today... look at Xiao Xianger."

Before that, Mrs. Shen said that she was going to take Chu An and Xiao Xiang'er away. They were reluctant to look at it. Although it would be nice to be able to live with their parents, they would have to face each other when they passed. Wen Shi, just this makes them very annoying.

At that time, Xiu Niang listened to Father Chu's words and tried to persuade them, so she said that she would go to see them every now and then, and the two little ghosts could do it after thinking about it, so they agreed to live with Shen Shi and Father Chu of.

Originally, this father and mother wanted to bring their sons and daughters to live together. What else could she do besides helping to make peace? Father Chu and Mrs. Chen were afraid that the villagers would talk about their own The taller one has a big room, but they still call the two young ones crowded with Chu Gexiuniang, which is very unreasonable.

Xiu Niang smiled, stretched out her hand and rubbed his head, she opened her mouth, looked back at the yard, and whispered.

"Sister-in-law, aren't you busy? Today may be the last time that sister-in-law will visit you, and you may have to go to town in two days. Anzi, are you going to just face sister-in-law like this?"

Chu An listened, and then pursed his mouth, and pulled his mouth in thought, "hee hee" made Xiu Niang smirk, and went into the yard when it was over.

Xiu Niang smiled and shook her head, she said something to Xiao Xiang'er, asked her to go back to the house, and then left by herself.

Seeing that it was still early, she turned a corner and went to old man Li's yard. Half a month ago, Chu Ge had just brought most of the laundry boards home from old man Li's yard, and said that he would let Gui Take it with you and go to the surrounding towns and villages to drink and drink to see how the business is going.

The main purpose of her trip was to see if old man Li had finished building the remaining half of the car, and then to see if there was enough wood in the yard. Did Chu Ge come to town to get him a car?

Xiuniang thought to herself, when she and Chu Ge brought another load of materials over, Guixi probably should have returned to the village. If the laundry boards were better left outside, he wouldn't have to wait this time, he could strike while the iron was hot , and then pull a car out...

"Hey, sister, sister..." She was thinking about it when she heard someone calling her.

"Here... sister, I'm here—"

Xiuniang knew it was Mrs. Liu's voice, and she looked along, only to see Mrs. Liu and some aunts and aunts nesting under a big tree. She got up and picked up the washtub, and chatted with the aunts and aunts. The sentence came towards her.

Mrs. Liu ran a few steps strenuously, came to Xiuniang, took a breath, and said with a smile, "Hey sister, you, why are you here?"

Xiuniang waited for Mrs. Liu to catch her breath, and then went to the east of the village with her.

"Sister-in-law Six, I just came here and sent some eggs to my parents-in-law."

With a smile on her face, Mrs. Liu praised Xiu Niang for being good, knowing how to respect her parents-in-law, but she thought about it in her heart, so did this woman, how did Chu Ge's parents treat her before, and now they are still catching up What are you doing in the past?

After listening to Mrs. Liu's praise, Xiuniang felt a little ashamed. She brought some food for Father Chu and the others. Outsiders see.

She didn't want the villagers to gossip about her and Chu Ge behind their backs, saying that the couple had just separated from Chu's father, Shen Shi, and that they had stopped dating in private, and that those gossiping women would start making arrangements again.

Xiuniang and Liu Shi chattered and walked all the way, she suddenly looked at the laundry tub in Liu Shi's hand.

"Sister-in-law Liu, I see that you have gone to wash your clothes, why did you come to Hanchizi?"

Mrs. Liu waved her hands, "Hey, I washed the ones in Xiaoxi by myself, and the old Gao's aunts watched me, and they dragged me to chat, and I asked them to drag me. here."

Xiu Niang smiled and said, "Come on Sixth Sister-in-law, if you don't want to go, who can drag you?"

Mrs. Liu looked at her, and patted her with a smile, "Hey, you woman, you know what you're doing to say it... Hey, sister, do you have any left of those washing boards in your house? I just talked to my elder sisters about getting it for them."

Xiu Niang said, "Yes, those boards are still in the car. Sixth sister-in-law, you want to take some, and you can pick them up by yourself when it's late. It's just across from your house anyway."

There is an open space opposite Liu's house, which is surrounded by adobe. Ji Laoliu looked at it and built a shed for him, and put his old cow and cart in it. Anyway, that piece is owned by no one.

Before that, Xiuniang bought a carriage, and Mrs. Liu generously said that she could pull the carriage into the shed, but there was only such a small area opposite her house, how could it accommodate two cows and horses.

The two of them looked at it, and there was no way for the animal to squeeze into the shed. Chugo could only unload the cart every time he came back from old man Li, tie up the washing boards and leave them on the cart, and then put them on the cart. The cart was pushed into the shed, and the bay red horse was pulled into the yard of the house to be raised.

Mrs. Liu answered with a smile, and gave Xiu Niang a count, "Sister, I will take the money for the laundry board for you tonight."

Xiu Niang smiled, "It's okay Sixth Sister-in-Law, don't worry, you can give it to me after you make a move."

Mrs. Liu waved her hand, "That can't be done, you also need capital, let's talk about it, sister, you can only help me find a good job, how can I let you lose money first."

I remember a month ago, this Xiuniang sister told her that she was not messing with the Erbao rattan now, but was tinkering with some washing boards, and asked her to secretly inquire in the village to see how the response was. If anyone wants it, this sister Xiu Niang gave her a reserve price, and then let her buy it, how much she added herself, this sister Xiu Niang never asked.

In the past half a month, she bought a few and went out. Before that, she asked her younger brother to take some back to her mother's house to have a look. She also made a few taels of silver this time and again, but...

Mrs. Liu thought about it, looked at the road, and said to Xiu Niang, "Sister, when will your shop be ready?"

Xiu Niang smiled at her, and continued to walk home, "Sister-in-law Liu, I guess within this month, Chu Ge and I will be able to get the shop down in the town."

Mrs. Liu sighed, curled her lips and said, "Oh, girl, take a look, I want to do some business in a serious way, but you insist on telling me to come here secretly and make some twists and turns, It's really awkward for someone who is yelling about buying and selling behind his back."

Xiuniang thought about Mrs. Liu's straight temper, and it was difficult to do business secretly. Although her laundry boards were not something to be seen, the only business she wanted to do, at least at the beginning. There is only one copy, so I have to take it slowly now, or I will make a lot of noise in the village at the beginning, and it will be bad in the end. If people who are interested will see this, they will follow suit Then what else does she do?

The other day Chu Ge went to old man Li’s house to pull the washboard. He was wrapped in a sheet, and he went there when it was getting dark. It should be like this before it is done.

Thinking of this, Xiu Niang smiled and said to Liu Shi, "Sister-in-law Liu, you can wait for two more days, when Chu Ge and I go to the town, you don't have to yell about business behind your back. I will keep all those who come to the house for you, and you can watch the business by yourself... However, before that, you will still be the same as before, don't say anything, don't ask anything. "

Mrs. Liu didn't say anything after hearing this, but just responded, "Got it, sister, I will remember your old sister."

In fact, even if Xiuniang didn't say anything, Liu herself would not talk too much. She didn't forget that she had ruined Xiuniang's business in the first place.

If she hadn't been quick to talk and let the villagers know that Xiu Niang had dug bamboo seedlings on the mountain and sold them for a good price in the town, then everyone wouldn't have rushed to the mountain to dig them.

Not long after, several nearby villages also started to pound bamboo seedlings. Now that there are more people selling in the town, the bamboo seedlings are not worth much...

When Xiuniang arrived at the entrance of her house, she took out some clothes from the basket and gave them to Mrs. Liu. When she was at the Hanchi, she saw Mrs. Liu holding many clothes, walking very strenuously, so she babbled. Get her a few pieces.

Mrs. Liu took the clothes, chatted with Xiuniang with a smile, and went back to the house, and said that she would bring the money later.

Seeing that it was difficult to talk at the intersection, Xiu Niang first responded to Mrs. Liu, and then went into the house.

"Chu Ge, I'm back. Just now I delivered the eggs to my parents-in-law, but Xiao Xiang'er and An Zi are still having a fight. It should be obvious that we will take them over for a while..."

She was laughing and walking towards the yard, but when she looked at the people in the main room, she suddenly froze.

Xiu Niang was thinking, subconsciously looking out of her eyes, just when she went up the slope, she looked at the mule cart parked beside it, and there seemed to be something behind the cart.

She felt a little bit in her heart, let's not talk about this precious joy, if there is no accident, it will take at least [-] days to walk around the surrounding towns with that car of washing boards, but it's only half a day Damn, why did he come back? Could it be that he brought back the car wash board that he took away earlier? !
