When they got home, Xie Jiaojiao put the firewood in the yard. Xie Zhiyi put down the basket and went to the kitchen to find Sun Ruhua.
Holding Sun Ruhua's hand: "Mom, come here quickly, I'll show you something!"
Sun Ruhua is still busy on the stove!
Being pulled away by Xie Zhiyi, he kept looking back at the tofu steaming in his pot.
"Oh, what can't we look at later? Mom is busy!"
"Come on, mother! Hurry up."
Sun Ruhua had no choice but to follow and watch.
Xie Zhiyi removed the cypress branches from the basket, and several rabbits immediately appeared in the basket.
"Oh my god, this thing is not easy to catch. How did you catch it!"
Xie Zhiyi pointed at Xie Jiaojiao: "Sister caught me."
Xie Jiaojiao just looked up and replied with a smile: "The rabbit hole Zhiyi discovered, I want to catch it."
Sun Ruhua immediately mentioned the largest one among them, with a smile on her face: "This thing is usually a thief, and it runs very fast. You have caught the whole nest of these beasts!"
Only then did Xie Jiaojiao have time to see how many they had caught. When she saw it, oh, there were quite a few, two big ones and four and a half big ones.
"Mom, these rabbits are charged at a high price in restaurants this winter. Tomorrow, I will take these two big ones to Qingfeng Building in town and ask them if they will accept them. These small ones..."
"Sister, me, me, just let me take care of this little one, okay?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Okay, let Zhiyi raise her."
Xie Zhiyi immediately started dancing happily: "Okay, we have a new animal in our family!"
Sun Ruhua reached out and took off the dry leaves on his head. Suddenly she thought that there was steaming tofu in the pot, so she immediately went to the kitchen again.
When she opened the pot and was about to touch the tofu, Xie Jiaojiao reminded her: "Mom, you just caught a rabbit, remember to wash your hands! Otherwise, the tofu will be in trouble!"
Sun Ruhua immediately washed her hands in a hurry.
Xie Jiaojiao found two cages from the backyard, separated the rabbits, and asked Xie Zhiyi to pick up some yellow cabbage leaves from the field and bring them back to feed the rabbits, while she went to chop firewood. At the beginning, she couldn't chop them well. , but by now she has become very good at chopping!
Xie Jiaojiao got up early the next morning. She originally wanted to carry the rabbit directly to the town, but Sun Ruhua refused.
Sun Ruhua boiled an egg for her, steamed some steamed buns and cooked a pot of cabbage porridge.
After Xie Jiaojiao ate, she saw that it was getting late and she was about to go out with the rabbit on her back.
Sun Ruhua grabbed her, gave her a few coins, and told her: "We'll take the village's ox cart later. Don't walk. If you're hungry, buy a bun in the town for cushion."
Only then did Xie Jiaojiao understand that this old lady felt sorry for her, and her heart warmed immediately, and she put the coins in her bag: "You go to Aunt Wang's place to help today. If the housekeepers are looking for trouble, just ignore them. "
Knowing that her daughter cared about her, Sun Ruhua nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, mother knows what's going on."
"Then I'll leave."
Xie Jiaojiao arrived at the entrance of the village and saw several people already sitting on the only bullock cart in the village.
When several people looked at her, they smiled and asked, "Is the eldest girl of the Xie family going to town too?"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't want to hide anything, and replied with a smile: "Yes, I went up the mountain to chop firewood yesterday, and I never expected to encounter two rabbits. I was lucky enough to catch them and prepare to sell them in the town!"
Xie Jiaojiao gave Uncle Li, the driver of the bullock cart, a coin and chose a seat to sit down.
Catching wild rabbits is really a matter of luck, and the women on the oxcart are a little envious.
Xie Jiaojiao didn't say anything else. She sat quietly on the bullock cart and listened to the people on the cart talking about this family and that family. When she heard something interesting, Xie Jiaojiao also raised her ears. listen.
For example, there was a man on the oxcart who lived in the same village as Zhou Cuihong before he got married. He said a lot about Zhou Cuihong. The two of them spoke quietly, but Xie Jiaojiao still heard them.
When they arrived at the town, Xie Jiaojiao asked Uncle Li when he would go back later. Uncle Li said that he would leave as soon as everyone who had reserved a seat was gathered.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately paid another penny and booked a seat for herself, sighing in her heart that she was lucky to have asked.
The departure time was late, and it was already bright when we arrived in this town. Xie Jiaojiao carried the rabbit on her back and went directly to Qingfeng Tower.
When the waiter saw her, his eyes lit up: "Girl, our shopkeeper said he was looking for you, and you came again."
"Looking for me?" Xie Jiaojiao asked.
The waiter smiled and said, "No, your fermented bean curd was eaten by the guests yesterday and they thought it was good. Most of the ones you brought yesterday have been removed. Our shopkeeper wants to order some more."
The waiter said as he walked towards the kitchen: "Just wait, I'll call our shopkeeper right away!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and nodded, then put the backpack on the ground.
Shopkeeper Chen came after a while with a smile on his face.
"Thank you girl!"
"Shopkeeper Chen!"
Shopkeeper Chen stood in front of Xie Jiaojiao: "I believe Laifu has told you just now..."
"Laifu has told me, but I don't have any ready-made at home now. If the shopkeeper wants it, he may have to wait for a few days."
Shopkeeper Zhang felt a little regretful when he heard what she said, but he still agreed to order ten altars at a time!
Xie Jiaojiao was very happy when she heard that he wanted to order so much, but said: "Shopkeeper Chen, I don't have that many jars at home!"
Shopkeeper Chen laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, Chen will prepare a jar for you, so you won't suffer any loss."
No one can see through her little thoughts.
Xie Jiaojiao immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper Chen!"
After the two of them finished talking, Shopkeeper Chen saw the basket she put on the ground: "This is it?"
Xie Jiaojiao peeled off the cloth on her backpack, revealing two rabbits with their feet tied underneath.
"I went up to the mountain to cut firewood yesterday and caught two rabbits. I just wanted to ask shopkeeper Chen if he would keep them."
"Take it, take it!" Shopkeeper Chen said with a smile in his eyes as he mentioned one of the rabbits: "It's quite fat. This rabbit is not easy to catch in winter!"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I wasted some effort."
Rabbit looked at Xie Jiaojiao with wide eyes:...
Xie Jiaojiao bought two rabbits for two coins.
Shopkeeper Chen brought her another jar. He originally said that he would send it to her home, but Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said that it was okay, she could carry it, and besides, she would not be tired if she took the bullock cart later.
Shopkeeper Chen paid her a deposit, and Xie Jiaojiao ran to the tofu stall to order more tofu.
When the tofu boss heard that she was ordering so much, he almost laughed to his ears. He said that he was making tofu at home, and since he wanted to deliver it to the Wang family later in the evening, he sent it to her family as well.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said yes!
On the way back, people in the car asked her again why she bought so many jars. Xie Jiaojiao just smiled and said she would go back and make some food, without saying anything else.
It was not yet noon when we arrived at home. Sun Ruhua helped Aunt Wang and did not come back for lunch. Xie Jiaojiao started to cook, and Xie Zhiyi lit the fire for her. Niu Er was busy with his father's marriage these days. Let’s play with him!
After dinner, Xie Jiaojiao went to the bamboo forest with a sickle to chop a few bamboos and came back. There were so many tofus that there were not enough bamboo pieces at home!
Following Sun Ruhua's example of weaving bamboo blocks, Xie Jiaojiao started knitting a few pieces by herself. Xie Jiaojiao was very satisfied. Seeing that it was getting late, she was ready to fetch water, wash hands, and cook.
I saw Niu Er running from the door.
For some reason, Xie Jiaojiao felt like something bad had happened every time she saw Niu Er running out of breath.
I saw Niu Er's mouth open: "Xie Auntie, go and have a look. Grandma Sun is quarreling with the people in your old house!"
