The mule cart in the inn is a flatbed cart. If it is tied tightly, it can carry many baskets.
In addition, if the carriage is squeezed, a few baskets can be placed.
Almost all the things sent by Xiban Village have been collected, but there are still some that others have not picked, and there are also neighboring villages who have received letters to ask about the situation. See if Song Qiu still collects them, so I will pick them and send them to them.
.
It was getting late today and it was impossible to harvest. Song Qiu had to apologize and said that if everyone picked it tomorrow, they would be burdened and send it to the Huangjiacun farm by themselves.
When I heard it was true, it was only a penny per pound, and it took some effort to deliver it. The red peppers that were also rotten could be sold for money. How could you guys be so unfair?
Now everyone knows that after picking them up, they must send them to Huangjiacun.
Both the horse-drawn carriage and the mule cart were loaded with things, and they swayed back. They dropped off Chen, mother and son, at the entrance to the official road in Yanghuai Village. It was already dark by now.
When we drove all the way back to Songshan Village, it was completely dark.
On this day, it was too hot and too tired. Song Qiu strode into the inner courtyard. When he saw Huang Tao coming up to him, he asked her to quickly bring her a whole piece of iced watermelon, and then gave it to Butler Du outside.
Go in one piece.
Old Yuan was waiting for her to come back for dinner. When he saw her entering the house, he wanted to eat iced watermelon. He hurriedly said: "The sun has gone down. It's cloudy at night. I want to eat iced watermelon to cool my stomach. I'm really thirsty. Is there any iced watermelon?"
, eat half a piece to solve the problem."
Song Qiu was so thirsty that he wanted to eat a piece of iced watermelon. He waved his hand and said: "It's so hot at night, it's like steaming rice during the meal. The watermelon that hasn't been chilled is still hot when you eat it."
, Don’t worry, milk, I’ll just take a piece, it’ll be fine.”
There are no aunties around, so it doesn't matter if I have a piece of ice.
Besides, if it's urgent, she will eat it too.
In my previous life, it was so hot that even my aunt couldn't hold back her mouth and ate a popsicle.
The heat is unbearable.
Huang Tao quickly brought the iced watermelon, peeled it, picked out the seeds, cut it into small pieces, and put it in a ceramic bowl with a smooth bamboo skewer.
Song Qiu looked at it, twitching the corner of his mouth, but without saying anything, he took it and ate the watermelon pieces with his fork.
After eating two pieces, she felt that it would be better to hold the whole piece and gnaw on it, so she told Huang Tao that next time she wanted to eat watermelon, don't put it in the bowl and just bring it up as a whole piece.
After eating a bowl of iced watermelon, Song Qiu felt refreshed all over. He told Old Yuan about his trip to Xiban Village today while waiting for the food to be served.
Mrs. Yuan was very happy when she heard that Yuan Erping's marriage was almost done.
"This happy event is all rushed together, one after another, and there are endless banquets!"
In May, when Hu Mengcheng was getting married, Song Qiu was away from home, so she took a mule cart and went to the Hu family's banquet with the Yuan family.
It’s going to be Yuan Daping’s wedding party again in September.
If Yuan Erping's marriage can come true, I guess it won't be too late.
Now that the two are getting married, the full-moon banquet will be held next year when the baby is born. It won't be an endless banquet.
Not to mention that in my own village, several families are lining up their schedules to get married and find a wife.
"As for the wedding banquet, I'm still waiting to see when I can host my dear granddaughter's wedding banquet." Old Yuan sat there, looking at Song Qiu, smiling lovingly under the dim light.
Li Yang's family has not come back today, but they will definitely come back tomorrow.
Song Qiu had nothing to be embarrassed about. She also laughed and said, "Let's settle the marriage first. I won't be busy with weddings this year. I'm only fifteen."
Getting married next year, slowly, slowly, and having a baby the year after or the year after that, it will be fine before she reaches her 50th birthday and sees her great-grandson.
In her previous life, she went to a third-rate university for a few years and squandered her youth. Later, she was busy inheriting her father's restaurant. She was busy all day long, smelling of oil smoke, and couldn't even get a date or meet the right person, so that the two
Seventeen-eight has not yet gotten married, and there is no sign of a marriage partner, let alone having a baby.
When I came here, I didn't hold back at all. We met, got engaged, got married, and had children, all in compliance with the rules of this era.
Song Qiu was also a little emotional.
She couldn't help but think of her previous life, where her parents were always urging her to find a marriage partner, get married quickly and start a family, and don't marry late and become an old girl. The family's restaurant, house, and car were all given to her as a dowry, and they didn't even ask for a cent of bride price, and even accompanied her.
Money, as if she was afraid that she would keep it at home for the rest of her life and not get married.
She was an only child, but her parents never thought about asking their son-in-law to step in, nor did they want her to marry into a big family and live in the same pot without any conflicts.
So she didn't need any betrothal gifts, but she also had to accompany her with a lot of dowry, just thinking that she could start a family on her own, and the couple could live a happy, loving, and harmonious life.
She is quite busy here, but it's a pity that even if she gets married and has a baby, her parents won't be able to see her.
For the first time in more than a year since I came here, Song Qiu missed her parents so much that she lay in bed crying and tossed and turned all night long, unable to fall asleep.
So the next day, the sun came up and shone on her buttocks, and she was still sleeping soundly.
A figure sneaked in, pressed against Song Qiu's ear, and shouted, "The sun is shining on your butt!"
She was excited, opened her eyes quickly, and got up in a hurry.
Looking at Lihua lying on the edge of the bed, she was stunned for a while, but she still hadn't come back to her senses.
"Are you scared?" Lihua stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, smiling happily, "We've all come back from town, and you're still sleeping! Big lazy pig!"
Song Qiu came back to his senses and immediately slapped his forehead. He felt so hairy that he fell asleep as it was about to break out. He slept until so late and didn't get up yet.
Everyone is back, it’s so embarrassing!
After hurriedly dressing and washing, she went outside. When she entered the small hall, old Mrs. Deng and old Mrs. Yuan were already chatting animatedly.
As soon as Song Qiu entered, several pairs of eyes looked at her, and at the right time, her stomach made a rumble.
Song Qiu:......
What's the most embarrassing thing in the world? It's just that your boyfriend's family comes to discuss marriage, but you're still sleeping in and sleeping in. You can also lie and say that you got up early and were busy with other things, but
Who has woken up early and hasn’t had breakfast yet and is so hungry that he or she is hungry?
What should she say?
She said she was busy and hadn't bothered to have breakfast?
Inside, old Mrs. Deng and old Mrs. Yuan were sitting side by side on the Arhat couch.
Sitting on the lower left are Li Donggua and Li Yang, and sitting on the lower right are Mr. Chen.
With Pear Blossom beside her, there weren't many people in the room anymore. To put it bluntly, these were all her own people.
Song Qiu only hesitated for a moment, then let go. She turned around and ordered Lu Yan, who was following behind, to go to the kitchen to bring her some food, and then bring a bowl of double-skinned milk to Old Deng and the others.
What she asked Lin to do today before going to bed last night must have been prepared and frozen by now.
As soon as the green smoke subsided, a bowl of meat porridge and a plate of small wheat dumplings were brought first.
Song Qiu looked at Old Deng and the others and said with a smile: "I went to bed late last night and got up late today." After that, he sat down at the bottom seat and started eating breakfast at the table.
Old Mrs. Deng only laughed, "Aqiu, you are tired from running around every day. You should have a good rest and sleep more. It will be okay!"
Mrs. Chen also said: "That's right, I heard from my aunt that you went out to collect red peppers yesterday and ran all day. You didn't get home until dark. The weather is hot and it's hard work. You have to take good care of your health."
Song Qiu couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.
