Hearing Cui Hongyu's words, Chen Xiaobei choked himself to death with a mouthful of water.
A violent cough also woke Chen Qiaoer from her sleep.
When she saw Chen Xiaobei coming back, she immediately jumped out of bed and said, "Brother, you are back. My sister-in-law has been talking about you for a long time."
One sentence made Cui Hongyu's face turn slightly red.
"Qiao'er, don't talk nonsense."
"Husband, I'll go and prepare a meal for you."
What surprised Chen Xiaobei was that in addition to fish, Cui Hongyu prepared a bottle of wine for him.
Huh.
Why is there still wine here?
Seeing him staring at the jug, Cui Hongyu hurriedly explained, "Husband, Chen Ping sent this to say thank you for finding the murderer."
Chen Xiaobei looked at the pot of wine and couldn't help but sigh. If things are really as Cui Banxian said, then Chen Anbang deserves to die.
While eating, Cui Hongyu recounted today's house repair situation, "By the way, Lidong also said that the materials may not be enough. He is going to the county town tomorrow and wants to use our donkey cart."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "That's good. I'm going to the city to sell vegetables tomorrow, so just let him go with me."
Cui Hongyu couldn't help but persuade, "Husband, you have worked hard all day, so you should take a rest tomorrow."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head. He could rest, but the vegetables in the field could not rest. If you don't sell it quickly, the vegetables will become old. Not only will they taste bad, but the leaves will also turn yellow.
"It's okay. You don't need my help when you get into the city. I'll just sleep on the donkey cart."
Cui Hongyu did not continue to persuade her. Of course, she also knew that it would be useless to say anything else.
The next day, before it was dark, Chen Xiaobei got up.
Before the sun comes out, green leafy vegetables are the most tender.
Therefore, pick as early as possible.
As soon as he got up, Cui Hongyu was immediately startled and got up.
The two now have some tacit understanding.
They put on their clothes lightly, walked out of the room, looked at each other, and laughed.
Seeing Cui Hongyu smiling, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but stepped forward and gave her a hug, "Thank you!"
Cui Hongyu's face turned red, "Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for marrying me. If it weren't for you, Qiao'er and I would still be..." Before Chen Xiaobei could finish speaking, Cui Hongyu had already reached out and blocked Chen Xiaobei's mouth.
"Husband, we are already married. As long as you don't dislike her, Hongyu is willing to serve you and Qiaoer for the rest of her life."
Chen Xiaobei sighed after hearing this. Women in this era are really too tolerant.
To be humbled to such an extent, hey.
According to Chen Xiaobei's idea, at least one hundred kilograms of vegetables should be sold today.
In this way, if I go to the county town again tomorrow, this wave of green vegetables will basically be sold out.
Then sow the seeds as soon as possible, and wait about half a month before it is harvest time again.
After they had packed the vegetables, Beginning of Winter also came with the craftsmen.
Seeing a cart of vegetables, Lidong was obviously a little surprised.
"Brother Xiaobei, I..."
Chen Xiaobei smiled and patted the donkey cart, "Let's go, I'll stop by to sell some vegetables."
Only then did Lidong come back to his senses. After finishing today's division of labor, I got on the donkey cart.
In the county town.
When Old Wu saw that Chen Xiaobei had brought so many vegetables over today, he couldn't help but laugh, "That's what it's like. After a whole day's work, you won't be able to sell even a few bucks for a little bit."
Chen Xiaobei unloaded the vegetables and said, "Old Wu, I leave it to you. Help me sell it."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing this scene, Lidong was stunned, "Brother Xiaobei, aren't you afraid that he will give you less money?"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled, "Don't be afraid. Besides, it doesn't matter even if you give me a few less. I can go do something else."
this.
Lidong was obviously shocked by Chen Xiaobei's statement.
What a concept is this! He obviously didn't understand, this was beyond his cognition.
Chen Xiaobei handed the reins to Lidong, "Okay, you go and do some work. Come to the market to find me when you're done."
After a long time, Chen Xiaobei decided to go to the livestock market again. He was lucky today. Someone was selling dogs, and they were newborn dogs.
Of course, puppies are not cheap either, costing five cents each.
Chen Xiaobei bought four in one go.
Seeing him buying so many dogs, even Lao Wu was a little surprised.
But Chen Xiaobei has his own ideas. One is that the yard is bigger. Here, there will be more and more opportunities for him to be away from home in the future.
Therefore, the three dogs were left at home, and each of Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer had to train a protective dog.
The other thing is to leave one for the village protection team, especially when patrolling at night. It’s easier to have a dog.
While selling vegetables, Old Wu brought up old things again, "Brother, Butler Cao came two days ago and asked about the pheasants again. You must hurry up and climb up to Cao's house. From now on, no one will dare to touch you in the county." you."
Chen Xiaobei sighed, "Brother, I want to catch them too, but someone disturbed the pheasants and caused them to move. I haven't found their new nest yet."
This is an excuse, but it is also a helpless excuse.
At this moment, Lidong came back from doing errands. The carriage was full of tiles.
This freed Chen Xiaobei from his embarrassment.
"Old Wu, I have to go after paying the bill." Chen Xiaobei laughed.
Old Wu was not ambiguous. He took out a handful of large copper coins from a wooden box nearby and counted them. "I'll give you ninety. It's not a loss."
Chen Xiaobei didn't even look at it. He took it and put it in his arms, "Okay, I'll bring you some tomorrow."
When leaving the city, Chen Xiaobei bought two portions of meat buns, one containing ten meat buns and one containing five.
Ten copies are for Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer.
Five copies are for the beginning of winter.
Holding the steaming meat buns, Lidong's eyes were full of excitement, gratitude, and a hint of envy.
The moment when Chen Xiaobei took the copper coins just now was still in his mind.
A cart of vegetables can actually be exchanged for ninety copper coins.
Moreover, Chen Xiaobei said that he would come to deliver food tomorrow.
Then there will be ninety more tomorrow.
One hundred and eighty coppers in two days. I have worked so hard for a month and still can't make so much.
I work as a laborer myself, with five big men a day. I can't go to work on rainy days. Even if the weather is good, I may not be able to find work.
It doesn't matter if they don't compare. When they compare, Lidong will certainly feel sad.
On the way back, Lidong looked at Chen Xiaobei and asked cautiously, "Brother Xiaobei, let's discuss something."
Looking at his slightly flattering smile, Chen Xiaobei knew that he was asking for something from him, "Brother Lidong, why are you so polite to me? Just tell me what's going on."
"Well, I also want to grow vegetables. Can you help me sell them to Old Wu?" Chen Xiaobei was not particularly surprised by Lidong's words.
Nowadays, growing vegetables is not too difficult, but selling vegetables is difficult. Hetou Village is more than 20 miles away from the county seat. If it weren't for the donkey cart, selling vegetables would have to be carried on poles, which is obviously difficult.
