Xie Jiaojiao came out of Jiang's house angrily...

Manager Wang sent the person out respectfully.

Xie Jiaojiao left without looking back. Manager Wang turned around and thought that he had to send a letter to the old man...

After Xie Jiaojiao left, Jiang Weinan sat proudly on the main seat of the main hall, which made the smelly girl feel deflated in front of him.

Thinking of this, Jiang Weinan felt refreshed both physically and mentally!

"Young Master really wants to marry Miss Xie?" asked the servant next to him.

Jiang Weinan glanced at him: "Tigger, when did you talk so much?"

The one who was called Tigger immediately stopped talking.

Xie Jiaojiao walked back quickly, and her whole face turned red under the sun.

I'm about to arrive home.

Xie Jiaojiao immediately suppressed her unhappiness and shouted: "I'm back!"

Xie Zhiyi ran directly from the kitchen: "Sister, mother is making pancakes!"

Xie Jiaojiao took out a small bag of candy from her arms and gave it to Xie Zhiyi. Xie Zhiyi immediately took the happy one and ran back to light the fire.

When they got to the kitchen, Sun Ruhua said, "I give you money to buy food. Every time you do something wrong, you don't buy anything yourself. You buy everything for this kid!"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said: "It's okay, it's all spent on the family anyway."

Xie Zhiyi said while eating candy: "Sister, you love me."

Sun Ruhua really couldn't do anything to her and said, "Just know that your sister loves you."

Xie Zhiyi hummed.

It happened that there were good pancakes in the pot, so Sun Ruhua took out one and put it in the bowl for her to eat first.

Xie Jiaojiao quickly picked it up and ate it. She was really hungry.

"Be careful!"

The pancake was tossed twice in Xie Jiaojiao's hand, and Xie Jiaojiao took the first bite: "Mom, this pancake is so delicious."

Sun Ruhua smiled and did not stop working: "If it's delicious, eat more."

After a few seconds, the pancakes were baked, and the family sat at the table to eat.

Only then did Sun Ruhua ask: "Did you agree to withdraw from the marriage?"

Xie Jiaojiao took a sip of the cold rice soup and shook her head: "No, but I should be able to withdraw. Then Young Master Jiang doesn't want to marry me anyway."

Sun Ruhua didn't understand, but she didn't ask much. My daughter didn't want to marry, so it was good to withdraw.

"Mom, go to our village to collect some soybeans this afternoon!"

"How much?"

"As much as you can! Yesterday I went to town, and the soy sauce I made, shopkeeper Chen said it was better than the ones made with fresh meat. He wanted to cooperate with us!"

When Sun Ruhua heard this, her eyes lit up: "Really?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "So you go and collect some more and bring them back. I'll buy a few more jars later and we'll make more."

Sun Ruhua nodded quickly: "Sure, but I'm afraid there won't be many soybeans in the village. If it's not enough, my mother will go to the next village to collect some."

"Thank you for your hard work, mother!"

"What did the family say to outsiders?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Xie Jiaojiao went to order the vat after lunch. Before going, she asked Sun Ruhua the price of the vat.

There is a pottery kiln next door to their village, and the products they sell are not expensive.

It happened that the pottery kiln had several large vats in stock. They had been ordered by others before and a few more were fired.

Xie Jiaojiao took a look and saw that there were about ten of them. This vat was big, so the price was higher, almost a penny each.

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Master, I don't have enough money. Can you help me deliver it? I'll send it home then, and I'll give you the money."

Of course the master of the pottery kiln is willing, and he happens to have an ox cart, so he can put it on in a few moments.

If you can't finish the delivery at one time, you may need to deliver it several times.

When they got home, Sun Ruhua happened to collect the soybeans.

Xie Jiaojiao quickly asked Sun Ruhua to get the money.

After paying the money, the master said: "I will bring it to you right away when I get back."

"Okay, please, master."

The master waved his hand: "Then I'll leave first!"

After doing this, Xie Jiaojiao went back to the house and changed her clothes: "Mom, you choose the soybeans. The bad ones can be fed to the chickens. I will go up the mountain to chop some firewood and come back, and then the soybeans will be steamed."

Sun Ruhua nodded: "Be careful on the mountain."

After saying that he was worried, he went to the house to find a bag of powder, put it in a cloth bag, gave it to Xie Jiaojiao and put it on her waist: "This is realgar powder. There are many snakes and insects on our mountain. See the dense I beat the grass with a wooden stick before leaving!"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "I understand."

Xie Jiaojiao went up the mountain and could only find some old tree stumps to chop. After everyone cut down last year, there were not many old tree stumps to be found, but there were still a few.

I dragged them all back in one afternoon and took an ax to chop them open for a long time. After all, she was a woman!

Prepare to dry in the courtyard for two days.

Sun Ruhua spent a day harvesting soybeans in the village. At first, Sun Ruhua went to collect them. Later, when she realized that she was too tired to carry them, she asked the village chief to inform the people in the village, saying that her family would harvest the beans and deliver the ones she wanted to sell to her house. .

After Xie Jiaojiao found out about this, she bluntly said that Sun Ruhua's mind was spinning very fast now.

It was rare to be praised by her daughter, and Sun Ruhua was very happy!

There are piles of soybeans collected under the eaves.

Sun Ruhua went to the backyard to dig out yellow mud and prepared to build a stove specifically for cooking soybeans, so as not to delay cooking when the time came.

Seeing so many soybeans in the house, Xie Jiaojiao asked Sun Ruhua not to go to other villages to collect them the next day. There were too many soybeans that the family could not put away. She had to finish the collected ones first. Sun Ruhua also agreed, otherwise there would be too many at home. .

The family has been busy for several days, but there is not enough flour and salt at home. Sun Ruhua even went to the town to buy it once. She was heartbroken. Making these things cost all precious things!

By the time all the soybeans were finally put into the tank, it had been almost half a month.

Out of more than a dozen bars, only three are left.

Sun Ruhua looked at the dozen or so large vats in the yard, rubbed her hands on her apron, and sighed: "All the money in the family is in this!"

Xie Jiaojiao put her arms around her shoulders and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, the money will definitely come back tenfold and a hundredfold by then!"

The next day, the whole family got up unusually late. After all, they had been busy all day long this month.

When Sun Ruhua got up, she followed Xie Jiaojiao's instructions and lifted the lid off the jar.

People who were going up the mountain passed by their house and looked at the jars in their yard and couldn't help but ask: "Is this for cooking again?"

Sun Ruhua smiled and nodded: "Yes, I just figured it out."

Everyone stretched their eyes and couldn't see what they were doing, so they didn't ask much and just smiled at each other.

After the work here was finished, Xie Jiaojiao looked at the two acres of sugar cane on the opposite mountain that were almost ready.

Recently, many people have asked them what they grow in their fields!

The reeds don’t look like reeds, so they say they are corns! No more corn.

None of their family answered.

During lunch, Xie Jiaojiao said, "Mom, the sugar cane is ripe. We have to find a way to take it back in the next few days, and then plant the next crop quickly, so that we can harvest two crops a year."

Sun Ruhua nodded, but before she could speak, she heard someone shouting outside. When Xie Jiaojiao heard this, she realized that the voice sounded so much like Shopkeeper Chen from Qingfeng Building.

Putting down the bowl, he hurried out to welcome him.

"It sounded like you, but I never thought it was really you!"

Shopkeeper Chen's face was a little sweaty, and the waiter beside him held an umbrella for him.

"Thank you for making it easy for Chen to find her!"

Xie Jiaojiao quickly welcomed the person in.

Sun Ruhua quickly poured a bowl of water for each of them.

Fortunately, I listened to my daughter and bought several new bowls.

After the two of them drank water, Xie Jiaojiao asked, "How did Shopkeeper Chen find himself here today?"

To be honest, shopkeeper Chen was a little sorry about Xie Jiaojiao and his young master at first, but...

I heard that someone went to his home to cancel the engagement, but his young master was not willing to cancel it!
