Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 116 Xiangxiu
The next day, when they were selling ice powder at the market, they met Wang Baoshan who was going to the market. He was going back to the village with a piece of meat in his hand.

At that time, there were several people buying ice powder in front of the stall. Wang Baoshan had been watching the two people busy, and came to say hello to them after the ice powder buyers had left.

"Your ice powder business is not bad, it seems that there are more buyers than cakes."

Both Wanwan and Baishou had smiles on their faces.

"Everywhere, it's almost the same, except that some people will ask for a second bowl after eating one bowl."

If you don't buy cakes to take home, who will buy them for a while?But this ice powder is much easier to make than cakes, and it doesn't take much effort.

"Yes, it's really good to have a whole bowl when it's hot." Wang Baoshan said with a smile.

Wanwan immediately took out the bowl, and said enthusiastically, "Come on, have a bowl to relieve your fever."

In this era, there are no packing bags. Except for the people in the market, many people who live far away from the market eat a bowl at the stall and then leave.In order to sell this, she and Baishou went to buy some more bowls.However, there are also people who often buy a bowl when they go out, and buy a bowl before leaving.

Seeing that Wanwan was really going to scoop ice powder, Wang Baoshan immediately stopped her: "Don't, don't, I'm not hot, don't waste money."

"It's not something valuable, you're welcome." Bai Shou also said with a smile, signaling Wan Wan to fill a bowl for Wang Baoshan.

Wan Wan scooped up the ice powder, added sugar and served it to Wang Baoshan, Wang Baoshan was too embarrassed to scratch his head, he just wanted to say hello to Baishou and the other two, now it was messy as if he came to beg for ice powder on purpose of.Quite embarrassed him.

Wang Baoshan talked to the two while eating ice powder, and asked about plums.

"...Has she eaten anything lately? I haven't seen her come out before."

Speaking of this, worry appeared on Wang Baoshan's face.

"... Nausea every day, can't smell anything smelly, vomited after eating, vomited and ate. I felt uncomfortable watching it. At most, I just stood in the yard and never went out."

Seeing how worried he was about Meizi, he pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "This is normal, it will be fine after three months."

Wang Baoshan took out a package from his arms, opened it for the two of them to see, and there were a few plums wrapped in it: "Last night, she said she wanted to eat sour ones, so I bought them for you today. It's really expensive." of."

Wanwan and Baishou smiled.

"Wait a few more months, when the baby is born, all expensive things are worth it." Originally, she wanted to say that pregnant women should not eat plums, but Wang Baoshan didn't buy many plums, so she said with a smile : "When her appetite is better, you go to the market and buy some pork bones to make soup for her. They are not worth much. When you buy meat, you can buy two of them by the way. It is good for children to cut into pieces and make soup."

"Really?"

"That's right. Usually, everyone doesn't eat that. In fact, it's a good thing, and it's good for children." Then he told him that pregnant women should eat more fruits and vegetables.

Wang Baoshan thanked him again and again, and insisted on buying a bowl of ice powder before leaving.Knowing that he was embarrassed because he ate a bowl of ice powder for nothing, he also accepted a copper coin.As for the bowls, they all come from the same village anyway, so you can just return them when you go back.

After Wang Baoshan left, the two sold their things for a while before packing up and leaving the market.On the way back, I met Matchmaker Wang from another village.From her tone, she should be a matchmaker for someone else.With a happy face, it is estimated that a good thing has come true.

It was hot, she ran back and forth, sweating profusely.Seeing the bucket on the bullock cart in a blink of an eye, Matchmaker Wang simply took out a copper plate: "Second sister, do you still have ice powder? Give me a bowl, it's really hot today." She kept fanning the wind with her handkerchief.

Baishou stopped the ox cart, and Wan Wan filled a bowl for her, confiscated her money, there was a little more left today, and the two of them planned to eat alone in the afternoon.

Matchmaker Wang didn't know whether it was because she was in a good mood today, or what, she insisted on giving money, and said: "It's not easy for you, just accept it."

Wan Wan didn't push back any more, put away the copper plate, and after she finished eating, he added it for her again.Matchmaker Wang was very happy, talking while walking.In the end, I did not know how to talk about Xiangxiu's house.

"...Her father left early, and her mother also left shortly after she got married. Her man was away all year round and rarely came home. He came to pick up the couple on the day they got married, and never came again. Even her The mother didn't come back when she left, but she was given a large sum of money, and her mother's funeral was considered beautiful... Later, she became pregnant, and followed her to the town... Although there was no one in the family, the house was still there. A few years ago, I often came back to visit, but I rarely came back after that... Two years ago, I didn’t know that the couple reconciled and divorced..."

Then he lowered his voice and approached Wanwan's ear and said, "I heard that his man has someone outside, so it stands to reason that he can take it back, but Xiangxiu was crying and making trouble at home all day, which made matters worse. Then the two of them Just divorced, and I don't know what her man was thinking, but he didn't divorce her."

In fact, Wanwan had already guessed that Xiangxiu probably didn't have a man, otherwise she hadn't seen a man come back for a long time.However, from what Wang Matchmaker said, I believe [-]% of the time.

Now that Xiangxiu's man has someone outside, how can he settle down because his wife is making trouble at home?It's about a girl's reputation.And Xiangxiu cared so much about her man, she wouldn't break up with her just because of this, right?
In ancient times, a woman could not be jealous, otherwise she would be divorced by her in-laws.Therefore, Xiangxiu either compromised, or his man promised not to take concubines, but this didn't make sense, a man took over this woman's body, how could he not be responsible?
So there is a big discrepancy between Wang Matchmaker's words.She just listened and didn't speak.Matchmaker Wang herself was beaming with joy and spitting.

"Has Xiangxiu been working in the market?" Later Wanwan asked.

"His man works in a rich family, and later he got her in too. I don't know why she came back suddenly? It seems that he has plans to stay for a long time." Wang Matchmaker was also surprised by this.

Wanwan now understands a little bit, working in a wealthy family, people naturally know more things, no wonder the cakes she makes are so particular.As long as it's not a dead contract, you can leave when the term expires.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Matchmaker Wang say: "His man is also from a nearby village. Maybe you all know him. I don't know the name. If you meet him, you probably know him too."

Wanwan was about to ask who she was, but Matchmaker Wang had already greeted the person walking across with a smile.Only then did she realize that she had returned to the village before she knew it.

After breaking up with Matchmaker Wang, the two of them had just arrived home, and they had come back in the next life. I don’t know where he went crazy. He was sweating profusely. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight to the bucket on the car board, and immediately grinned when he saw ice powder in it. Alright, I ran into the kitchen and took the bowl, skillfully scooped a bowl of ice powder in the bucket, poured brown sugar on it, and sat comfortably under the eaves to drink.

Seeing how comfortable he was squinting his eyes, Wanwan smiled helplessly.He took out two more bowls, scooped out half a bowl for Baishou and himself, and gave the rest to the next life.

The next life was so happy, he jumped to Wanwan's side and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you cut pigweed this afternoon. I'll carry a big basket, and you carry a small one."

A few days ago, Lai Sheng also went to cut pigweed every day, but he was always called by Wan Wan.It was the first time that he was so active and attentive.Come to think of it, this kid is actually quite easy to raise.

After lunch, the three of them went out together and parted ways on the mountain, Baishou headed for a deeper mountain, and Wanwan and Laisheng went to cut pigweed.

In the next life, he was a lazy person. At the beginning, he was serious about cutting pigweed, but later he was hot and tired, so he simply sat on the side of the road and started to be lazy.Wanwan was already used to this, so he filled his back pan, and the big one in the next life was still halfway there, poured his own pigweed into it, filled the big back pan, and told him: "You rest here. , don’t run around, wait for me to go home together.”

Then take the back basket and go to the side to continue cutting.

In the next life, he has good facial features and fair skin, which should be inherited from his parents, and he is the kind that won't get dark anytime he is exposed to the sun, so he looks a little weak, in modern terms, he looks like a pretty face.But he has great strength.So the basket was full, and Wan Wan didn't stop. Anyway, in the next life today, he will carry a big back, and if there is too much, he can just put it in the past.

At this time, footsteps came from behind her, she thought it was the next life, seeing that there was more than enough pigweed today, she said without raising her head, "Wait a little longer, I'll finish cutting here."

The people behind did not make a sound, and it was only after a while that she heard a voice say: "If you keep pretending that you wait a little longer, it will be difficult to go down the mountain."

Hearing this voice, Wanwan was stunned for a while, and when he turned around, he saw Li Dazhi standing behind with his back on his back.

Since that incident, this is the first time the two have met.She turned her head and continued cutting, and at the same time said calmly: "You don't need to worry about this."

Li Dazhi was a little embarrassing, he knew that Wanwan still remembered what happened last time, it was indeed his mother's recklessness last time.After standing for a long time, Wan Wan didn't seem to have any intention of talking again. Li Dazhi touched his nose in embarrassment, thought for a while and took back the foot he stepped out of, and kindly reminded Wan Wan's back: "It's going to rain soon. , you should go back earlier!"

Hearing this, Wan Wan finally raised his head, the sky that was clear just now was now covered with dark clouds.What a day!

Look at Li Dazhi has gone far.After thinking about it, she called the next life over, put the grass on the ground into his back basket, and then the two went home.

Not long after I got home, it started to rain heavily.There have only been a few drizzles this year, and this is the first heavy rain.With the nourishment of rain, the crops in the field will grow better.

But at the moment she is carrying Baishou, God will change his face when he changes his face, he didn't even bring anything to cover the rain, and there is no place for rain on the mountain, so he doesn't know where Baishou is now?

After sitting at the door of the main room for a while, she still didn't see Baishou come back, it was getting late, so she had to go to the kitchen to start cooking pig food, and it was raining heavily outside and she couldn't pick vegetables from the field, so she thought about frying some pancakes at night Come on, they haven't eaten pie for a long time anyway.

Laisheng was sitting by the stove and lighting a fire, and when he saw Wanwan kneading the noodles, he jumped up happily: "Wow, there are cakes to eat tonight!"

Wanwan looked at him and smiled like a child.The pig food was cooked, and the pancakes were fried, but Baishou still didn't come back. Laisheng sat on the aisle with a piece of pancake to eat, and sat at the door of the main room looking out at the yard.

Because of the rainy day, the sky had already darkened, and there were no oil lamps in the house. It was pitch black outside, and the house was also pitch black. Suddenly, a figure flashed in at the gate of the courtyard, stood up with a bend, and shouted joyfully: " Hundreds!"

　When I went home, I caught a cold. I vomited whatever I ate. My stomach hurt and I couldn’t eat. My condition was extremely bad.Originally, it was said that the debt would be paid in two days, but it seems that there are only two days to wait.
