The next day, Yuan Cheng and Yuan Shuanzi left the hospital and returned home. They left early and the sun was still not bright. They happened to meet Song Qiu who had bought ice cubes and left the town, so he naturally took a mule cart along the way.
Now Lihua accompanies Song Qiu to the town every day. There are still two watermelons from yesterday, so there is no need to buy them today. Song Qiu drives the mule cart all the way to the Changhe River.
When they arrived at the place, they first asked Yuan Shuanzi and the others to wait in the tea shed. Ma Liu made two trips home to bring some things, leaving old Yuan and Zhang Lihua to show off while she sent Yuan Shuanzi and the others home first.
When Yuan Shuanzi saw that he was asking them to wait, he waved his hands quickly, "How many miles is this? I injured my hand but not my leg. I was walking fast, and it only took two-quarters of an hour. Why did you drive me away?"
We can just go back by ourselves, you are still busy, so don’t cause any trouble to you."
When Lao Yuan came up and saw that his brother looked fine, he seemed to be fine, he felt relieved. Hearing the words, he said: "Send, send, send, the mule and cart are faster, it will only take a while, the sun is getting big."
, you walk back, don't be tired, the doctor has told you to rest for a while for such a big wound, we haven't received any guests yet, we are not busy."
Song Qiu also said: "It's just a gift. I have to go to my uncle's house to pick up some things."
When Yuan Shuanzi heard that he wanted to pull something, he did not refuse and got on the mule cart.
Song Qiu sent people all the way to Yuan's house, where only Lao Meng and Yuan Sanping were at home. The rest of the family went to the ground, including the two girls Yuan Zhizhi and Yuan Meimei, who all helped to go to the ground and followed the fallen ears.
Lao Meng had been worrying about it all day and night. Even though his youngest son came back and said it was nothing serious, he couldn't feel relieved because he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
Now that I saw Yuan Shuanzi back with my own eyes, I naturally dragged him up and down to look good. I saw that nothing serious happened, so I felt relieved.
I also heard from Yuan Cheng that the doctor had told him to take a good rest for a while, so he asked someone to go into the room and lie down without moving anything.
Yuan Hua hurriedly went to the fields. He just took advantage of these few days. If he didn't get the millet back quickly, it would be difficult to dry it in case of heavy rain.
But thinking about what Song Qiu wanted to carry, he still waited and asked someone to drink a bowl of water before asking her, "What does Aqiu want? I will carry it for you right now."
As he said that, he was thinking about the money again, so he hurriedly took out what he had brought with him, gave them to Old Meng, and told him the exact amount of the medicine.
Old Meng nodded when he saw the large packages of medicine he had brought back, and immediately counted them out and gave them to Song Qiu.
Relatives also need to be clear about it. The last time she was worried about when her elder sister would pay back the money she borrowed, she didn't like to owe anyone money. She always worried about what she owed others, so she had to do whatever she could with what she had.
take it out.
Song Qiu didn't answer, but said first: "I'm not busy, I still have to buy something. I'll wait until the money is worth it."
Then he looked at Yuan Hua and said, "Cousin, can you keep all the beans collected at home? How many are there? I want them all."
When Yuan Hua heard this, he said: "Hudou? There are still a lot of them. I have kept both last year's harvest and this year's harvest."
The harvest has been good in the past two years, so I have kept this thing and put it away. If the harvest is not good that year, it is also good to use it to satisfy hunger. After all, the family has a large population, so it is necessary to prepare for a rainy day.
Besides, the price for selling it now is not high, only one penny per catty, so I don’t want to sell it.
"What does Aqiu want with this? Feed the mules? Some mules are picky and don't like to eat this. I'm afraid it's better to buy beans. The price is the same, but the beans are not grown at home. If you want them, I'll go to the side for you."
Buy it from the third uncle’s house, I promise you won’t be fooled.”
Song Qiu pursed his lips and smiled, "You don't feed the mules, you use them to make food. Anyway, they are useful. My cousin can take out as many as he has and sell them to me. I don't have to go to other places to buy them."
Although it's not cost-effective to sell it for a penny and keep it to satisfy hunger when the harvest is bad, if Aqiu wants it, then give it to her.
Without saying a word, Yuan Cheng immediately went to the warehouse and carried out several bags of beans.
With little land and plenty of fields, we can only grow so many beans.
"I estimate it's only about three hundred kilograms here. Do you think it's enough?"
When Song Qiu saw that there were so many, he nodded quickly, "That's enough for now. When the time comes and I don't have enough, I'll just buy it elsewhere. My cousin can weigh it clearly. I can make up the amount of money."
Yuan Chengcheng wanted to say that peas are worthless, so why bother talking about money, but he also knew that ten kilograms was nothing, and he didn't want to give these hundreds of kilograms to Ah Qiu, and besides, his mother was watching.
Here, Old Meng has already shouted to Yuan Cheng to weigh him.
Finally, one weight was lifted, totaling 325 kilograms.
Old Meng said: "Forget it is twenty-five pounds, just use a round number." After hard work, you can save some money on manpower and fertilizer.
Song Qiu was not too polite and nodded, "Then I still have to give you thirty-five dollars to my aunt."
Then he pulled out the money bag and counted out thirty-five large coins to Old Meng.
Lao Meng collected them properly and asked Yuan Cheng to help carry all the beans to the mule cart, and then sent them out for more than a mile. He also followed the way to the fields.
Song Qiu followed him out of the yard empty-handed, and saw rows and rows of peppers in Yuan's vegetable garden. The red peppers looked better than those in her vegetable garden, so he turned to Old Meng and said, "Uncle,
Don't touch your peppers, keep them for me, and I'll weigh them and buy them."
When Old Meng heard this, he wondered, "What are you buying these red peppers for? They are not green, and there are still some that can be sold. The red ones are left to be harvested if you want them.
Just come and pick them, and leave half a row for me to sow."
"I just want this red one. Just keep it for me, my aunt, and I will pick it in a few days!" Song Qiu said with a smile, not saying much at the moment.
Old Meng nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll just keep it for you."
Song Qiu drove the mule cart and pulled several bags of beans back to the Changhe River. The sun was already very high at this time, and there were people going in that direction together. Song Qiu held the cart steady while listening to these people talking about the mountains.
Talk about south and north.
I thought I was just talking about trivial matters, but I never thought that this motorcade came from nowhere, and that they actually talked about court affairs.
Song Qiu listened for a few times, but didn't understand. He only knew what he was talking about. Queen Mother Qianqiu was going to hold a state banquet, and Dacheng in the south would send envoys to celebrate her birthday. It was still a few months away, and already there were already people in the capital.
It was so lively.
When the conversation changed, it seemed that they were talking about how Concubine Long gave birth to a dragon son a month ago. This is the first son of the Holy Emperor. I wonder if there will be a chance to establish him as a prince.
When Song Qiu listened again, people were already talking about so-and-so ministers and so-and-so princes.
Song Qiu was just listening for fun and was not very interested in these things. Until she heard King Yan's words, she couldn't help but concentrate.
"I heard that King Yan was not in his fiefdom. He said that he rejected the emperor's marriage proposal in front of all the ministers at the Qinzheng Palace last year, and also threatened not to marry the princess for life. The emperor was so angry that he ordered someone to marry him.
I’m traveling around to clear my head.”
"Isn't that true? How can a noble prince not marry a princess? I heard that not only did King Yan refuse to marry a princess, he didn't even have a concubine in the palace. There are rumors that King Yan has a habit of wearing short sleeves! If you don't believe it
, why not go and find out, all of the little eunuchs serving King Yan are very handsome!"
