The Little Widower (farming)

56

After agreeing with Tian Yao, Zhou Yuan and Chen Qing will prepare to go back.

Before leaving, they had dinner together, and Zhang Yin slowly started taking medicine. After taking medicine, her energy improved a lot, and she was able to sit with them at night.

"Now that you've decided, just go ahead and do it. It won't be a big deal if we are here." Zhang Yin held a fan in her hand and shook it gently.

"I know, let's go back and bring a message to our adoptive father so that he won't worry all the time." Zhou Yuan said. He looked at Qi Shuning again, "After I leave, Shuning, you have to take good care of them."

Qi Shuning nodded: "I I have already told my husband that I am a student on loan and can go there in the afternoon."

He can accompany them to Doctor Yu for acupuncture in the morning, go home and help them with the housework before going to the academy, and Dean Fu will give him his own. The manuscript was lent to him so that he could copy it and return it.

In short, he has a lot more time to spend with them.

They had slept in separate rooms since they came to Yunxi Town. Even though they had slept in the same bed since they got married, nothing had happened.

When they arrived in Yunxi Town, Li Xin said that he wanted to take care of Zhang Yin. He was afraid that something would happen at night, so he always slept in the same room with Zhang Yin, while Qi Shuning lived in a separate room, so they didn't know that Qi Shuning would come to the house every day. I would sleep only when I was young, just to copy more.

"You should also take care of your health."

Zhou Yuan arranged for them and left enough silver for them so that they could live a good life.

The next day, I took Chen Qing to Tianji. Shopkeeper Tian had already prepared two trucks of goods for them.

Tian Yao pulled Chen Qing: "This cart is made of red persimmons. You must have eaten scrambled eggs with red persimmons. These persimmons are also delicious when eaten empty. If you soak them in water, cut them into pieces, add some honey, and more It's a delicacy in the world."

Then he pulled him to look at another cart: "This half cart is made of chili peppers. You should have tasted them. Whether they are cut into fried meat or dried and ground into powder, they are all good seasonings. But because everyone's acceptance is different, I've only prepared half of the car for you, and the other half is this cucumber. Cucumber is refreshing. Mix it with some vinegar in the summer, and it can also appetize."

In addition, there are some from last week. They have tasted all the condiments from Yuandai and they are all very good.

After the introduction, Tian Yao said with some seriousness: "If you just bring these things back, people may not buy them. You have to think of a way yourself so that people can know what you are selling and how to do it as quickly as possible. "

Chen Qing nodded: "Thank you, I understand."

Tian Yao patted him on the shoulder: "Be bold, don't be embarrassed."

Chen Qing nodded shyly, his face red again: "I understand. ." He also wanted to ask Tian Yao how to price it, but before he could say it, Tian Yao had already left.

Chen Qing stood there, thinking that he could only discuss it with Zhou Yuan later.

The two trucks that pull goods also belong to Tian Ji. While Tian Yao was talking to Chen Qing, Zhou Yuan went to settle the bill with Tian Ji's accounting office. Tian Yao should have told the accounting office that the deposits for these two vehicles were not required. Zhou Yuan gave them a total of fifty taels of silver to accept them.

After Li Xin and Qi Shuning settled Zhang Yin, they came to see them off.

Chen Qing hugged Li Xin and said, "Stay well with Aunt Yin. We will be back soon."

Li Xin refrained from crying: "Be careful along the way. I will take good care of my mother."

Zhou Yuan patted her. Qi Shuning's shoulder: "Take good care of your husband and mother."

Qi Shuning nodded heavily: "Brother, don't worry."

Chen Qing turned back three times step by step and kept waving to Li Xin until he couldn't see them anymore. He just leaned on Zhou Yuan.

They left Yunxi Town and slowly walked onto the official road.

Zhou Yuan didn't have any other emotions. He held Chen Qing's waist with one hand and drove the car with the other hand: "We will be back soon."

Chen Qing leaned on his shoulder: "I just forgot Ask shopkeeper Tian how to set the price."

"It's okay, let's figure it out ourselves." Zhou Yuan didn't care. "How do you feel about this trip?"

"It's good, but the people you meet are all good people." .

"Look, unknown things are actually not that scary." Zhou Yuan pulled him towards him, "I still want to go to many places with you." "

Okay." Chen Qing nodded.

"Shopkeeper Tian is so awesome." Speaking of Tian Yao, Chen Qing's eyes were bright. "He can ride a horse, do business, and is the president of the Chamber of Commerce. He can also hunt, and he is not afraid of going up the mountain alone."

"Are you envious? ?" Zhou Yuan asked.

Chen Qing shook his head: "I don't think I can do what he does."

Zhou Yuan laughed and explained: "I don't think it is necessary to make such a clear distinction between what a man should do and what a brother should do."

"A Qing, In fact, I want to say that women and men are no worse than men. They can do things that men can do, and they can also do things that men cannot do. "

Zhou Yuan put his arm around his shoulders: "In our military camp. There is a lieutenant here, a brother."

Chen Qing opened his eyes and said, "Brother, can he also enter the camp?"

"He shouldn't be recruiting soldiers. I heard that he is General Cui's lieutenant. They came to the battlefield relatively late. So we don't have much contact, but he is a brother, which is an indisputable fact in the military."

"Aqing, nothing is impossible in this world," Zhou Yuan said, "A brother can do anything that men can do. We can do it. But we may not be able to do the things you can do, such as sewing and embroidery. You see, you are better at farming than I am."

Chen Qing was a little embarrassed: "I'm not that good at it. "

But everyone has his own ambitions. I just hope that Aqing can live the rest of his life safely and smoothly with me."

They were walking on the road during the day. When the shopkeeper Tian was loading the goods for them, he used felt cloth to wrap them up. The things were well covered, so it was okay to walk on the official road during the day. When he was not staying at the inn at night, Chen Qing could hardly sleep all night, for fear that his things would be snatched away.

They stayed in the wild and slept against the car. Zhou Yuan held Chen Qing in one arm and held his knife in the other.

When Chen Qing takes a rest during the day, he will pay attention to see that none of these things are broken. After all, shopkeeper Tian said that it is hot summer and fruits and melons will go bad quickly. Fortunately, God has favored them and everything is not broken.

There was no disturbance along the way. They came to Yunxi Zhen much faster than before, and returned to Luohe Village in only eighteen days.

Zhou Yuan did not take these things back to the village. Instead, he stored them in the county town and rented a house in the county town for a short period of time.

Before returning, he sent someone to send a letter to Meng Qi, asking him to come to the county seat.

After Meng Qi arrived, Zhou Yuan and Chen Qing were about to go back to the village. Meng Qi had a lot of questions he wanted to ask, but seeing that they were anxious to go home, he didn't ask. He just had to follow Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan chose to ride back on horseback, which could save a lot of time. By the time he arrived at the entrance of the village, Chen Qing was so tired that he could sleep soundly despite the bumps.

Zhou Yuan put Chen Qing back home. The yard was clean and someone was cleaning it frequently. He kissed Chen Qing and said, "You rest at home, and I'll tell my adoptive father that I'm safe."

Chen Qing nodded, but he couldn't sleep very well at the moment. He watched Zhou Yuan leave, and then went to Aunt Sun's house.

Aunt Sun just came back from outside with a bucket of water. The weather was hot, and the pig was always arrogant in the pen. Aunt Sun had to get water for it every day. She walked to the door with the water and saw Chen Qing was sitting in the yard. She was so shocked that she threw away the bucket in her hand and ran to Chen Qing.

"A Qing! Are you back?"

Chen Qing heard the noise and went forward to hug Aunt Sun: "Mom, I'm back."

Aunt Sun quickly hugged him: "Why are you back? Are you okay along the way? How is your Aunt Yin? Where is Zhou Yuanren?"

Chen Qing pulled her aside to sit down, and then said: "Aunt Yin is very good, and she has started to treat her illness. That Yunxi Town is really good. I brought some specialties there with Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan went to report to Uncle Li that he was safe.

"Is there any hope?" Aunt Sun squeezed Chen Qing's hand, "That's great. You guys have been gone for more than a month, and a lot of things have happened in the village."

"Then Blacksmith Li was like crazy, banging and banging on the iron. He heard what Zhang Yin said before leaving, and Niu Niu woke up in the middle of the night. No one came to our house, so

he came to our house crying. "Uncle Li must have something on his mind. Treatment costs a lot of money, so he just wants to make more money."

Aunt Sun said, "I'll let Niu Niu do it." Just sleep at home. He said he wants to go home and wait for his father to come back. What a good boy you think he is. "

"Then wait for Aunt Yin to come back and take care of him," Chen Qing said.

Then Chen Qing heard about Zhang Ran from Aunt Sun. Zhang Ran wanted to reconcile, but Meng Bing disagreed. The two of them were arguing and fighting at home all day long. Seeing that they couldn't convince Meng Bing, Zhang Ran He ran away immediately, not knowing where he went.

Chen Qing didn't expect things to end like this, but after all, he gave him a beating and relieved himself. As long as he wasn't around him, these things had nothing to do with him.

Chen Qing changed the topic and told Aunt Sun about things in Yunxi Town, about Doctor Yu, Shopkeeper Tian, ​​the delicious food in Yunxi Town, and the process of going up the mountain to find medicine. Of course, he did not mention the dangers involved.

Aunt Sun looked at Chen Qing and felt that after he went out for a while, he seemed to be more cheerful than before.

The more knowledge you have, the more open your mind will be.

At this time, there was a howling sound in the backyard, and Aunt Sun remembered that she had just been going to give the pig a bath, and now the water was spilled.

"This is not a pig, this is an uncle." Aunt Sun said, "You have to flush him with water every day, otherwise he will keep howling."

In fact, it is thanks to this pig, otherwise Chen Qing would be missing in the family, and she would always I feel empty inside.

Chen Qing followed her and came back with a bucket of water. The two of them gave the pig a good rinse.

Aunt Sun fed the pig very well. Although there was still a smell in the pig pen, Aunt Sun cleaned it very well.

"Our family will kill the New Year pig this year." Aunt Sun put away the bucket and walked out with Chen Qing.

Chen Qing had completely forgotten how cute the piglet looked before, and only felt that the pig in front of him was really big and ugly.

"Mom, are you having dinner at home tonight? We brought back some food from Yunxi Town. You will definitely like it if we make it."

Chen Qing also took some of the two carts of things he brought back and wanted to give them to Aunt Sun. Try something new.

Aunt Sun looked at the things Chen Qing brought back. They were red and green and looked pretty, but could they be eaten? They've never seen it.

"I'll cook tonight." Chen Qing said, "Mom, let's try the skills I learned."

When Zhou Yuan came back from Li's house, he didn't go into his own yard, but turned around and came to Aunt Sun. The aunt said, "Mom, I'm back."

Chen Qing was cooking in the kitchen, while Zhou Yuan and Aunt Sun were chatting in the yard.

"It's time to harvest corn in a few days. We're back at the right time."

"I can harvest it alone, but there are still cows here. It doesn't take much effort on my part."

Chen Qing put the fried vegetables in Bringing it out: "Then the three of us can make it faster."

Aunt Sun looked at the plate of scrambled eggs on the table. They were red, red and yellow. Not to mention the taste, the color alone was festive.

She only tasted it and felt it was delicious. Under Chen Qing's exaggeration, she also felt that the people in Yunxi Town lived a life of gods.

Zhou Yuan took over Chen Qing's words: "We brought back two carts of Yunxi Town's specialties, and we are going to sell them in the county tomorrow."

Although Aunt Sun was born in the mountains, her thinking is not feudal: "It's very good, very good."

Chen Qing looked at Aunt Sun: "Mom, why don't you go and help me tomorrow?"

Aunt Sun had lived with Chen Qing for five years, and she knew what he was thinking just by looking at his words. Zuo just didn't want to go to the street to hawk. I was too embarrassed to tell Zhou Yuan that I could only move out, but Aunt Sun was much smarter now.

"I'm not going. My piglets have to take a bath tomorrow."

Chen Qing:...
