After being forced to marry a butcher

Chapter 16

    On the last day of work, I finished work early.

The master's family paid their wages and worked for seven days. One person got four hundred and twenty Wen.

Li Qingjiang wants to save money to send Xianhu to study for two years, but he is not willing to buy anything.

Li Qinghe went to the jewelry store and bought a carved wooden hairpin for Wu Tong. Li Qingshan felt that this kind of carving was old-fashioned and ugly, so he picked a emerald blue headband for Liu Yu.

It was made of silk, smooth and beautiful, and cost twenty cash.

Back home, Li Qingshan divided the wages he earned into two.

Cong Chunhua and Liu Yu each get half.

With the addition of these two hundred Wen, they finally have a lot of money!

After getting the money for selling grain last time, the money bag couldn't fit anymore, so Liu Yu took the money box out of the box and fastened the two hundred copper plates into it.

Li Qingshan likes to watch Liuyu count money, like a little money fanatic, fresh and lively.

He endured and endured, picked up Willow Yu and put him on his lap.

Caught off guard.

In sunny days.

Liu Yu struggled to go down, but Li Qingshan refused, he seemed to be begging and coquettish, "just for a while."

For the sake of his hard work for several days, Liu Yu acquiesced, and then tied the money.

Li Qingshan rested his head on Liuyu's shoulder and looked at him quietly.

Liu Yu lowered his head, his long eyelashes were half drooping, and his heart was itchy as he swept them tremblingly.

Li Qingshan's eyes were too hot.

Liu Yu was flustered and struggled to go down again.

Li Qingshan hugged him on the table with a smile, and stood up himself, "Sixty a day, it should be four hundred and twenty." After speaking,

Li Qingshan took out the hair tie, "The other twenty Wen, I bought this for you."

Li Qingshan looked expectantly, "Do you like it?"

Twenty Wen can buy one foot of silk cloth to embroider two handkerchiefs, this hairband is only three fingers wide and two feet long and costs twenty Man, it's really not worth the price.

Liu Yu felt that she was a little ignorant.

But this was the first time someone gave him such a beautiful thing, and Liu Yu accepted it and said, "I like it." It was

smooth and supple to the touch, and the color was also pretty.

Liu Yu got down from the table, went to the box and took out the purse that he had been making for several days, "Here you are."

Li Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and took it slowly.

Under the bi-color lotus pond, there are two koi carp jumping up to chase.

The smile on Li Qingshan's face widened little by little, Liu Yu glanced at him, lowered his head and wanted to go out, but was grabbed by Li Qingshan, hugged him around his legs and spun around several times.

Cong Chunhua and Mrs. Guan in the courtyard heard Li Qingshan's loud laughter in the room, and smiled at each other.

...

On the second day, Li Qingshan didn't go to work, and helped Uncle Li's family pull the cart to the county town to sell millet.

Uncle Li's 30 mu of land produced more than 6,000 catties of millet. Uncle Li had already pulled a cart to the county town to sell some in the first two days. But for the rest, the four of them pulled the scooter together, and had to go back and forth twice.

It takes one hour to go to the county seat once, and two hours to go back and forth, plus the time to queue up for weighing. Before dawn, the four of them loaded the car and set off.

In the early morning of late autumn, it was really cold, after Li Qingshan went out, Liu Yu couldn't sleep anymore, put on her clothes and got up.

At this season, it is so cold here, but it is really different from Nanjiang Mansion. Liu Yu went back to the house and found a small jacket to put on, and also turned out Li Qingshan's thick clothes. It is also comfortable to wear when going out in the sun.

She is eleven today, and it is bright outside at this hour, so Liu Yu first went to the backyard to see the little piggy.

After a few days of careful feeding, the little piglet grew stronger again and became more skinny. He was lying down and sleeping in the haystack. Liu Yu planned to change him to some drier grain and hay when the sun came out.

The little chickens were in the main room, covered with old padded jackets, two of the previous ones had died, and the rest had to be taken care of more carefully.

Liuyu washed his hands and went back to the kitchen to knead the noodles, ready to roll the noodles in the morning.

The moon is gradually setting, the sun is starting to rise from the horizon, and the early birds are also staying on the branches of the pomegranate tree, chirping and jumping for food.

Cong Chunhua scared them away with a bamboo pole, and said: "Today, I have to ask Qingshan to climb the ladder and pick off all the ones on it.

"

Liu Yu nodded in agreement.

After eating, the work at home was done, the sun rose, and the yard was not cold at all.

Liu Yu took off the little jacket, took the little chicken out to bask in the sun, spread a straw mat in the yard, and spread a summer mat on the straw mat. Cong Chunhua, Mrs. Guan and him sat on the mat and started Make cotton coats.

On the way, Li Lerong came again with Sister Tian and Xianhu. With him there, the yard was very lively for a while.

The four of them set off so early together, and it was already afternoon when they all returned from their work.

Li Qingshan rested his feet and set up a ladder to pick pomegranates.

He picked one, and the willow fish picked another one below.

The big pomegranate is red and heavy, and it makes people feel good just looking at it.

Li Qingshan on the ladder was in a good mood looking at the willow fish below.

This pomegranate tree was planted by Li Qingshan's father when he built the house, it has been around for some years. Li Qingshan's father probably didn't expect at the time that this pomegranate tree was one of the few windfalls for his wife and son throughout the year for many years.

Pomegranate trees bear a lot of fruit. Excluding the ones that were given away and the ones that were split, there are ninety intact ones, and they can be carried to the autumn society for sale.

After picking the pomegranates, Li Qingshan carried water to irrigate the vegetable field and went up the mountain with a basket on his back.

He hadn't been up the mountain for a few days since he had dug the trap that day. He had to go see if he had caught any game, and see if he could pick up some more chestnuts and hickory nuts along the way.

In the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, a small coat for Liu Yu has already been made. He tried it on on his upper body, and the size was very suitable, and the new cotton was extra soft and comfortable to wear.

Li Lerong straight up praised her good looks.

Liuyu took off and asked him to try on his upper body.

...

Six traps, only catching one pheasant is also very happy, but I am afraid that the pheasant will be limp after being hungry for a long time.

Li Qingshan carried the pheasant home, the willow fish was startled, and then remembered that it must have been caught by the trap dug that day.

"It's a bit listless." Li Qingshan said.

Willow quickly grabbed a handful of millet and added water to feed it.

Fortunately, the pheasant was so energetic after seeing the food that it struggled to get up.

The pheasant can fly, and it is much fiercer than the domestic chicken. Liu Yu worried that putting it in the chicken coop would scare the domestic chickens from laying eggs.

Li Qingshan found a hemp rope and tied him outside the pigsty.

The piglet was obviously very curious about this "hospital" friend, he "hummed" at the pheasant through the fence, and flicked his little tail, which was a bit cute.

The pheasant thought it was annoying, and flapped its wings to fly, but it didn't fly very high and fell down again.

Piggy's tail wagged even more happily.

The Autumn Society is a folk tradition. It is held on September 15th every year to celebrate the harvest, and everyone goes to the streets.

On this day, around four o'clock, the Li family got up.

Hurry up to get a good booth, so I won't eat at home.

Li Qingshan was carrying a sack of pomegranates, and in his hand was a lively and dishonest pheasant. Cong Chunhua, Liu Yu, and Mrs. Guan each carried some chestnuts and pecans, and the family set off for the county seat.

Whenever there are major festivals, stalls in the market are exempted from rent. Today, there is no distinction between the grass market and other markets, and stalls can be set up both inside and outside the city.

Li Qingshan picked a street outside Wuxian Temple, every year there are many people here.

Cong Chunhua and Liu Yu put everything on the table, Li Qingshan went to buy buns and came back. The steamed buns in Nanjiang Mansion are not as small and delicate as the steamed buns in Qingzhou Mansion. The steamed stuffed buns in Qingzhou Mansion are so hungry that you can't eat willow fish after only one.

It was getting brighter, and the number of pedestrians on the road began to increase.

Liu Yu also put up four silk handkerchiefs, four cotton handkerchiefs and two purses that she had embroidered. Ordinary stalls are actually much cheaper than those sold in shops. But for the Autumn Society Festival, the asking price can be more expensive.

Liu Yu ordered thirty-five cash for the silk handkerchief, twenty-five cash for the cotton handkerchief, and thirty-five cash for the purse, which were slightly more expensive, and there was room for bargaining.

Jugglers, actors, and storytellers began to appear on the street, attracting more and more people to gather.

People also started to patronize their stalls.

"How do you sell this pomegranate?"

Li Qingshan said: "Three coins for one."

There are some exploded pomegranates brought from home for people to taste.

Sweet and sour, juicy and delicious, it's good to buy one and hold it in your hand while shopping and eating.

Pomegranate became the first to open, and gradually people asked about the price of other items, but no one was interested in the handkerchief of solitary willow fish.

Li Qingshan comforted him and said: "Most of the people who go out in the morning are men, and when the sun rises later, it will be good if more women and younger brothers go out."

Liu Yu nodded.

Indeed, as Li Qingshan said, after getting warmer, more women and younger brothers went out together on the streets.

Three or five of them discussed around Liuyu's embroidery, "This pattern is so beautiful!"

The lonely red plum, the delicate pink crabapple, the elegant Clivia, and the gorgeous rhododendron.

"There is still fragrance!"

Only four silk handkerchiefs were not enough, and I regretted that I didn't snatch them.

Unmarried women and younger brothers are not very good at bargaining, and after Liu Yu gave up a few cents, they all followed the first one to pay.

Married women and younger brothers prefer practical and cheap cotton handkerchiefs. Since the embroidery stalls began to gather people, they all sold out within a short time.

Liu Yu's money bag was bulging, and it was handed over to Li Qingshan to store it.

As the sun grew higher, a small stall owner selling sugar-fried chestnuts came to the market, and collected all the leftover chestnuts, and the pheasant became someone's lunch.

Li Qingshan's family got a lot of money today, and they also went to celebrate the festival.
