There were so many lotus roots that Ping'an Jiji couldn't eat, so Song Qiu planned to take them to the town to sell them.
I didn’t expect how much money this would sell for, it’s just a pity that there were too many to eat and it would rot.
They were all cleaned, some were kept for use in the inn, and the rest were all sold.
After so many days, it was rare for Song Qiu to get up at the beginning of the year.
After going down the gentle slope, I happened to meet Wu Wujin and his son, each driving an ox cart, pulling a few villagers who had gone to the town early to sell some things.
Zhou Shitou has been running the cart for the past few months, and it is no problem to haul the goods by himself, so the Zhou family added an ox cart without waiting for next year.
The two bullock carts were pulling goods together, and since Friday Jin got to know each other on the dock, he could make a lot of money every day, and he never made an empty trip anyway.
In addition, Manju works in the workshop, which is another wage. Now the Zhou family is living a comfortable and prosperous life among the villagers.
Therefore, many people envy Zhang Lihua for her good fortune.
Zhou Shitou got engaged, it was fine, then, there is still Zhou Lanhua.
Zhou Lanhua, who is only twelve years old, now has many people openly and secretly asking about her and wanting to get married.
Seeing that Song Qiu was so early today, Friday Jin was even startled, "Aqiu is going to town?"
"Well, I'm going to the town today to sell lotus roots." Song Qiu nodded, listening to Shitou's shout, and got on the ox cart driven by Shitou, and took a ride out of the village. Du Chuanfu was waiting for her on the official road outside.
Everyone in the village knew that the Song family bought land and had a farm near Huangjia Village. I heard that she was going to sell lotus roots, and I thought there was a lotus root pond in the farm, so I didn't think it was strange.
When everyone arrived, they set off under the cover of night and left the village.
When we got to the official road outside, Du Chuanfu and Tao Zheng were already waiting there driving a mule cart.
Song Qiu jumped off the ox cart, got on the one driven by Tao Zheng, took over the driver's seat, and Tao Zheng got off the car and went back to the inn.
It was still early in the day, and he was going to Ping'an Market to buy groceries. At this time, the National People's Congress Market had not yet opened.
He could also go back and take a nap for a while, and then go to the market later.
Anyway, he walks fast and can get there in less than half an hour.
Song Qiu drove the mule cart in front of Du Chuanfu, and at the front was the ox cart of the Zhou family and his son. They all headed towards the town together.
There were four cars and a dozen or so people on this road, which was quite lively.
It was dark and I couldn't see the road clearly, so I needed to hold a torch in front of the car, but because there were so many people, I didn't feel scared.
Not long after we walked, cars and people from other villages on both sides of the official road came one after another and entered the official road. At the right time, the sky became clearer and there was no need for torches.
Going to the town together, everyone was chatting and laughing, and the parents were friends. It was really a unique experience before the dawn of this cold winter.
Song Qiu was driving the car and listened to the excitement with great interest.
There was a lot of excitement everywhere, from front to back and left and right. One family was saying the same thing, and it was hard to hear them.
Leng Buding heard the two women walking next to them carrying backpacks whispering something that she wouldn't have been able to hear clearly if they weren't close. But when she heard it clearly, she was stunned.
Is she silently eating the melon and eating it on her own head?
"If this is true, it would be outrageous. Even if the girl from the Song family is somewhat capable and can work in the kitchen under the hall and is better than other girls, she can just recruit a bride. Why can't she do it if she has money? But she can't
It’s so immoral! I don’t want the innocent people, but I really like the one in the dark column? That’s... tsk tsk tsk!”
"I heard it is true. Liu Dajiao, who lives next door to my house, said he has a nose and eyes. How can he be lying? The Song family has made it clear a long time ago that they want to recruit a wife, but I haven't heard anything about it.
I guess she can’t be wrong this time. If she doesn’t like the guy in the hidden column, given her conditions, after so many months, she still can’t find anyone willing to come to her?”
"Then Liu Dajiao is a big talker. Can you really believe what she says?"
"Why not? Didn't her sister-in-law marry in the town? She sells tofu at home, and there is an alley across the dark fence. But I saw with my own eyes that the girl from the Song family always went to the dark fence, every time
Every time I come out, there is a handsome and fair little man escorting me out!"
"Mom! That's so outrageous! You're such a good girl, why are you doing such a thing? It's so shameless and immoral. If you leave her in my mother's family, she will be punished!"
Song Qiu silently glanced to the side and saw the two women each carrying a backpack, holding hands and very close to each other. They were talking slobberingly and were so involved that they didn't even look away.
, just gossiping.
What hidden bar? What kind of handsome and fair little man?
Why didn’t she know this?
"Hey, auntie, do you want a ride?"
While the two women were talking, a voice interrupted, startling them. They turned around and saw that the little girl driving the carriage next to them was looking at them with a smile.
Take a ride?
It's a good idea. It's still a long way from the town. It's easy to take a car.
"Hey, girl, you are so kind. I am considerate of my aunt who has a hard time walking, so thank you very much." One of the women smiled shyly, not polite at all, and was about to climb into the car.
But when the car curtain was opened, I saw that it was filled with baskets and other things, and there was no space at all.
She didn't retreat, and sat down next to Song Qiu. She didn't forget to call the other woman who didn't come up to squeeze her.
The car seat is just that big. This woman is already fat, and there is no floor on her side.
The woman smiled, waved her hands, and said she was just walking.
The fat woman just laughed and said, "Okay, I'll sit down for a while and I'll switch to you later."
Then he smiled and got close to Song Qiu, who was driving the car.
"Oh, girl, your driving skills are very good. You are so young, you can do it! Are you going to town alone? Which village are you from? Why don't you have any family members with you? I see you are driving in the car.
They are all oranges. Are these your own oranges being sold in the town?"
While Song Qiu was driving, the woman kept talking, but she was not annoyed. After the others finished speaking, she smiled and continued: "Auntie, thank you. My family is in Songshan Village behind me. Auntie and the aunt just now
Aren't you talking about me? What? You don't know me? You have a nose and eyes. I'm so familiar. I thought my aunt had seen me and recognized me."
"Oh my God!" The fat woman was stunned for a moment, then she realized what she was doing, and immediately exclaimed, with her basket on her back pressed against the hood of the car. She was so excited that she almost fell to the side.
"Auntie, be careful. My driving skills are so-so, which is not very good. If I bump you, Auntie, you will be the one to suffer."
When the fat woman who had just stabilized herself heard this, her fat body felt very numb, and she immediately jumped out of the car.
Fortunately, Song Qiu's car wasn't going too fast, so she only stumbled a bit when she jumped off, and then stabilized herself.
Then he quickly ran back a few steps, grabbed the woman just now, ran past the mule cart in a hurry, and quickly headed towards the front.
When passing the mule cart, Song Qiu could still faintly hear the fat woman's voice in the cold wind.
"Mom, it's unlucky to say bad things about people behind their backs, and the real owner heard it. Let's go faster! Don't let her cause trouble for us!"
