Because of the task of carrying water, as long as Li Qiao was at home, Li Qiao would do it himself and not let him get involved. Li Qiao felt that this was a heavy job.
Li Qiao felt sorry for him. In fact, he felt sorry for Li Qiao even more. He had been doing heavy and tiring work since he was a child. Carrying water was a daily routine for him.
But Li Qiao is not like this.
It was only this month that Li Qiao became diligent.
Since neither he nor Li Qiao could bear to let the other carry water, hiring someone to carry it now was the best solution.
Thinking like this, he looked at Li Qiao through the kitchen window.
Li Qiao was chopping dry wood with an ax in the yard. His body was not as strong as his peers, but he seemed to have endless strength. He grabbed the ax and chopped quickly, and his agility was not inferior to those of the strong laborers in the village.
"Li Qiao." He shouted.
"Huh?" Li Qiao looked at him with gentle eyes: "What's wrong?"
"What do you want to eat for lunch?"
"I've just had breakfast and I'm thinking about lunch."
That's what he said, but Li Qiao still thought about it seriously. Suddenly he thought of the spices he spent a lot of money to buy in the county last time. His eyes lit up: "Buy a chicken from the folks, and I will make you a new chicken dish." Law."
"ah?"
Tao Zhu was stunned.
He originally wanted to express his love for this person with delicious food, but now this person actually wanted to feed him?
Moreover, I just ate pork belly two days ago, and now I want to eat chicken?
In the entire Sanliu Village, only the Zhuang family and Butcher Zheng's family can eat meat so often.
But after looking at this man for a few seconds, he finally just nodded: "You teach me, and I'll do it."
"It's okay." Thinking of his cooking skills, Li Qiao really didn't feel confident.
To avoid wasting a chicken, just leave it to Brother Zhu.
After ordering the lunch meal, Li Qiao became more energetic and took the time to finish chopping the firewood, and Tao Zhu kneaded the dough.
Light the fire and explode.
Soon, the familiar sweet smell floated in the yard again.
What was different from the past was that this morning, villagers came to sell things from time to time.
By noon, there was a pile of dry firewood piled up in the yard, three large baskets of eggs, and four more sacks of flour.
Sesame can be used to make sesame oil, so almost every household in Sanliu Village grows it. Now Li Qiao's family has two sacks filled with sesame.
But more folks came to sell things.
Because it was dinner time now and everyone working in the fields had gone home. Some people who were not well-informed only knew what happened at the entrance of the village at this time. They were afraid that they would be late and the buckwheat would not be collected, so they hurriedly carried their things. coming.
Although everyone knows that Li Qiao and Tao Zhu's dim sum business will continue for a long time, it's better to sell it as soon as possible.
Li Qiao doesn't refuse anyone who comes. As long as the quality is good, he will buy it.
Just as he was weighing eggs for the villagers with a scale, Liu Cui and Tao Tao came.
Liu Cui and Tao Tao were not convinced.
Why should her family be compared with those two shameless tops like Tao Shu and Li Shu?
Didn't she just ask Tao Zhu how much he earned, and then she stopped accepting her things?
This is too small-minded!
She is angry and dissatisfied!
She is not an ordinary villager, she is the aunt of Li Qiao and Tao Zhu!
Therefore, as soon as she arrived at the door of Li Qiao's house and saw more than ten people standing in the yard waiting to sell things, she got angry and asked angrily: "Li Qiao, I have no grievances with you." Damn it, and I’m still your aunt, why don’t you want my things?!”
Hearing this, Li Qiao glanced at her and smiled: "I don't want it myself. I can't make the decision on my own business and my own money?"
"you!"
Liu Cui was so angry at these words: "I am your aunt!"
"Who is the eldest uncle? I don't have any contact with my second brother Li Shu."
"Besides, what kind of uncle are you? Have you ever helped Brother Zhu once in these years? Have you ever given Brother Zhu a woofou?"
"When something goes wrong, don't always think about blaming others. Think about yourself first. Why didn't I do this to my elder brother?"
Li Qiao asked back.
"That's right, now that I'm playing the role of the aunt, why didn't you think of pulling Brother Zhu away before? Let alone a wowotou, if you give Brother Zhu a bowl of water when he is tired and hungry, he will I will always remember your kindness."
The villagers who were waiting to sell things in the yard immediately helped.
With Wang Xiuying as a living example, I would be a fool if I didn't help him right now.
This Liu Cui is just like Li Shu, they don't need to make up nonsense at all, they just need to tell the truth.
Because Old Man Tao and Tao Shu's family are all top-notch, and Liu Cui is also the owner who refuses to take any losses, the two families have been at odds for many years.
"That's right, Liu Cui, everyone knows what your relationship is with Brother Zhu's family. Your two families don't have any contact at all. Now don't think about using your status as the eldest uncle to pressure others. ”
"Yes, yes, if you can take advantage, just remember that you are an aunt. It is better not to have such an aunt."
"No! Who wants to recognize such an uncle?"
…
The villagers said one sentence after another, and every sentence was very venomous. Liu Cui's blood pressure soared when she heard it, and she immediately turned around and snarled at the villagers.
"It's none of your business to care about our own affairs!"
"Who said you are a family? The married brother threw away the water. Brother Zhu and Tao Shu are no longer a family, so how can they be a family with you?"
"You don't have a long memory. Didn't Li Ping quarrel with you just now? Why can't we say something fair about the matter between your two families?"
Li Ping told others about Liu Cui's questioning of Tao Zhu's income as a joke, so everyone in the village understood why Li Qiao refused to take Liu Cui's things.
You made it yourself!
Some people even opened up old scores.
"I remember Tao Tao bullied Brother Zhu before, right? One time Brother Zhu was washing clothes by the river. Tao Tao also took the clothes to the river to wash, but Tao Tao pretended to be weak and said that his hand was cut and he couldn't see it. Water, let Brother Zhu wash his clothes."
"It's nothing, don't slander me!"
Tao Tao's complexion suddenly changed, and his beautiful face turned red with anger.
"Hey, speaking of Tao Tao bullying Brother Zhu, I've also seen him!"
When an aunt next to her heard this, she became excited. She smoothed her sleeves and told everyone present what happened back then very quickly.
"When the fields were divided in the village, Old Man Tao had not yet fallen out with Liu Cui, so the fields of the two families were adjacent."
"A few years ago, there was a wheat harvest. Liu Cui had a large family and finished harvesting the wheat early. However, only Brother Zhu worked in Tao's family, so the wheat harvest was slow."
"That day I passed by Brother Zhu's wheat field and saw Brother Zhu arguing with Tao Tao. It turned out that Brother Zhu was cutting the wheat, and Tao Tao was picking wheat ears in his family's field nearby, but Tao Tao was lazy and didn't want to When I picked it up, I wanted to steal the wheat that Brother Zhu had cut and report it to Liu Cui, but Brother Zhu caught me!"
"Oh, is there still such a thing?"
"When did this happen? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Many people present were indeed shocked when they heard about this for the first time.
Tao Tao's face darkened: "That's nonsense, it's nothing!"
Liu Cui rolled up her sleeves angrily: "Zhang Gui'e, if you continue to ruin Brother Tao's reputation by being so carefree, I will tear your mouth apart!"
"I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Zhu. At that time, Tao Tao refused to admit it. He must have said that Brother Zhu had wronged him."
The aunt named Zhang Gui'e was not afraid and rolled up her sleeves: "If I tell lies, God will cut out my tongue! If Tao Tao tells lies and his face is disfigured, do you dare to swear like this?!"
Liu Cui sneered: "Why don't I dare? If Brother Tao really does this, let..."
"mother!"
Tao Tao's face turned pale, and he pulled off Liu Cui's sleeve urgently and fiercely: "Why did you follow her and swore poisonously? It's so unlucky!"
"Ha, what's unlucky? You're obviously afraid of it coming true!" Zhang Gui'e sneered.
Others also nodded, but no, everyone usually swears like this, but now Tao Tao is talking about something auspicious or unlucky. This is obviously a guilty conscience.
"Not only did you not help Brother Zhu, but you also bullied Brother Zhu like this. Why do you have the nerve to make trouble now?"
"You're so thick-skinned that you can't even chop it with an axe."
"Shame! Although he looks good, he actually steals things. Who dares to want such a guy?"
"No wonder I haven't gotten married yet. She's already sixteen, so she's not young at all."
…
Tao Tao and Liu Cui were both furious at these words. Tao Tao was the most handsome boy in the ten villages, and he couldn't get married. He wanted to find the best husband!
However, Tao Tao is not married after all. If he makes a big fuss here, he will definitely get a bad reputation if word gets out.
In addition, he was also afraid that his past affairs would be revealed, so he pretended that he couldn't make sense with these people and dragged Liu Cui away angrily.
Li Qiao looked at this scene with a smile in his eyes.
Buying the raw materials for making snacks from the villagers has a very good effect. If these people act like monsters in the future, he won't have to waste time, and someone will naturally help him fight against them.

Li Qiao thanked these folks seriously, and then he continued to weigh things and pay the bill. While he was busy, a strong spicy smell wafted from the kitchen.
