Chen Xiaobei smiled and said, "Uncle, in this case, let's say goodbye. I will come again in two days!"
When Cui Changhe saw the two of them leaving, he enthusiastically invited them to sit down and eat, but Chen Xiaobei shook his head one after another.
"Uncle, you can drink wine anytime. Let's arrange things first so as not to delay the day."
Hearing Chen Xiaobei's words, Cui Changhe said with a smile on his face, "Yes, yes, nephew Xiaobei, please rest assured. I will do as the locals do and keep everything simple. As long as Mudan and Xiaowen can live in peace, that's better than anything else."
At this point, Chen Xiaobei understood. Obviously, the prince asked Hu Fan to come and it had a huge impact on Chen Xiaowen. Now, no matter what Chen Xiaowen wants to do, Cui Changhe still dares to be dissatisfied.
Chen Xiaobei and his ancestor walked a long way forward in silence. After leaving Cuijiazhuang, the ancestor couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, I didn't expect that such a picky guy like Cui Changhe would be crushed by Xiaowen."
Chen Xiaobei didn't speak when he heard this, but he actually understood in his heart. The most important reason why everything went smoothly this time was the endorsement from the prince. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is certainly not ordinary people who can receive congratulatory gifts from the prince.
Back in Hetou Village, when the news spread, the whole village was in an uproar. No one expected that Chen Xiaowen's old father-in-law Cui Changhe would let go so easily and agree to marry his daughter.
The happiest person is of course Chen Xiaowen. He seemed a little at a loss but very enthusiastic, inviting everyone to come to his house for a cup of tea.
"Hey, Xiaowen, why are we going to drink tea at this time? You'd better go home and prepare and treat us to a drink."
Hearing this suggestion, Chen Xiaowen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's time to treat everyone to a drink.
Chen Xiaowen was obviously very excited. He pulled his ancestor and Chen Xiaobei into his home and served tea first.
"Brother Xiaobei, thank you for your help. Without you and my ancestor, I don't know what I would have done."
Chen Xiaobei smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, we are all a family, there is no need to be so polite."
"By the way, you have to prepare some gifts tomorrow, and our ancestors have to go there again."
The ancestor next to him nodded slightly, "Yes, strike while the iron is hot and settle this matter quickly. This is also a great happy event in Hetou Village."
As he spoke, the ancestor took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and put it on the table. "This is a gift list I wrote. Just follow it and prepare it. If you really don't have everything ready, we'll talk about it later."
Seeing this, Chen Xiaobei understood. He and Cui Changhe had never mentioned this gift list at all, fearing that the ancestors had drawn it up long ago.
Especially the last sentence of the ancestor is very important. If you are not prepared, forget it. That is, if you have it, you will have it, if you don’t have it, you will not have it.
Chen Xiaowen happily rode to the county town to purchase supplies, but Chen Xiaobei was not in such a good mood. Chen Xiaobei now had to start thinking about how to sell the cabbage.
After thinking about it, Chen Xiaobei put on a thick cotton coat and planned to go to the vegetable field to have a look.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I saw Carpenter Zhang standing at the door. Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, he greeted him with a smile, "Captain Xiaobei, where are you going!"
"Ah, I want to go to the vegetable patch. Uncle, why are you free to stand on the street today?"
"Captain Xiaobei, I want to buy some cabbage from you, look..."
Chen Xiaobei laughed when he heard this, "Uncle Zhang, what do you want to buy or not? You have helped me so much. If you want to eat cabbage, I will give you two."
"No, no, it's not just a matter of two or three. I want to buy more."
Chen Xiaobei laughed when he heard this, "You can have as much as you want. I'll have someone bring it to you later."
"Then give me fifty first."
Chen Xiaobei was stunned when he heard this, "Old man, I can give you some more after you finish eating. I'm afraid I might have put away so much."
"It won't break, it won't break. I have an old relative, and it's not convenient to live in the mountains. It's the Chinese New Year soon. I plan to visit him once, so I'll bring him some more."
"He rubs the cabbage with salt and pickles it so it can be eaten anytime."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei suddenly remembered the time in his previous life. What kind of spicy cabbage, pickled cabbage, kimchi, and various pickled products do I often eat?
Yes, this is also a method.
I neglected this matter myself.
You can try making some spicy cabbage first to digest part of the cabbage.
When the time comes to get it to Feng Xiaoyue Restaurant, I believe I can sell some of it.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei's brows relaxed a little, "Okay, Uncle Zhang, I will arrange for someone to deliver it to you tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, then I'll get you some money."
Xiaobei waved his hand, "No, no, no, let's wait until tomorrow."
After some hesitation, Chen Xiaobei left.
It's still a long way from here to my vegetable patch.
It was the middle of winter, and the woods beside the road were a little bleak.
There were some fallen leaves on the road, which made a crunching sound when stepped on.
This made Chen Xiaobei's thoughts wander a bit.
Zhang Carpenter's words just now that it was almost the New Year made him feel a little emotional. In the world where he lived, every cold winter also meant that the New Year was approaching.
Every Chinese New Year is a time for family reunion. But think about your parents in the previous life, who could only fall into endless sadness during the New Year and holidays.
Looking at myself now, both my parents are dead, and I can’t even remember what they looked like in my memory.
Even Huang Ying appeared in life in a hurry and couldn't wait to leave her.
With a bit of sadness and a lot of thoughts, Chen Xiaobei came to his vegetable patch.
There are still a lot of cabbages in the field. Looking at the endless cabbages, Chen Xiaobei is really scratching his head.
Finding a place to sit down, he took a branch and bit it into his mouth.
It would have been great if, in my previous life, I could light up a cigarette and relieve the depression in my heart.
In this life, I don’t even have cigarettes, so I can only support my depression by myself.
At this moment, I suddenly heard something moving, and then I saw two gray shadows rushing out of the woods nearby and speeding away into the cabbage field.
Chen Xiaobei stood up suddenly, what was that?
Soon, the gray shadow stopped, and Chen Xiaobei could see clearly that it was two dogs chasing a hare.
Seeing the dog leading the hare back victoriously, Chen Xiaobei laughed.
In my previous life, I had only seen it on TV. This was the first time I witnessed this dog chasing a rabbit in real life.
With a shout of greeting, an old man with white hair and beard walked out of the woods nearby. The person's face looked strange.
Chen Xiaobei quickly thought about the people in several surrounding villages in his mind, and they probably weren't.
The old man came to Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
