Yingbao drove the mule cart to the town, and Chunniang got off the car to buy daily necessities. She also went to the butcher stall to buy a piece of pork, and was going to make pork and leek dumplings to reward her family.
The owners of the pork stall are still the father and son of the butcher family.
Tu Xiong has been completely honest since being redeemed by his father. It is said that he has married a wife and is much more stable than before. He no longer hangs around with his friends.
Although there is no market today, since it is the busy farming season, there are many stalls selling goods in the market.
The two twins came to the town for the first time. They were so excited that they insisted on getting out of the car and walked around, but Yingbao ruthlessly suppressed them.
These two guys are crazy. As long as you let them down, they can suddenly run into the crowd and disappear without a trace. Even if you bring a dog, you can't chase them away.
"What do you like, sister, buy it for you?" After the suppression, you have to be gentle, and Yingbao does this easily.
Xiaojie pointed to a big buffalo lying on the roadside chewing cud and shouted: "Sister, buy a cow! Buy a cow!"
Yingbao slapped his little hand in anger, "Change it!"
Xiaojie pointed to the stone flying beast on the roof of a house on the street, "I want that! That!"
Yingbao:……
She seriously suspected that this guy did it on purpose.
"Dog! Dog!" Xiao Wu tugged at his sister's sleeve and pointed in one direction with his little hand.
Ying Bao turned around and looked, her eyes lit up instantly.
I saw a ragged man squatting on the side of the road. There was a bamboo basket in front of him, and two fluffy puppies were lying in the bamboo basket.
Yingbao quickly jumped out of the car, ran to the man and asked, "Are you selling this puppy?"
The man nodded, "For sale."
"How much does one cost?"
"Shiwen."
Yingbao took out ten cents and handed it to him: "I'll buy one."
The man took the ten cents and pushed the bamboo basket forward in a good mood: "You can take your pick. Your eyes are already open. As long as you feed them some porridge and rice every day, you can survive."
Yingbao picked a light yellow puppy.
The puppy is soft and soft, with two small ears drooping into an inverted triangle, and two eyes like black glass, it is really cute.
After carrying the puppy back to the mule cart, Xiaojie and Xiaowu immediately rushed over to grab it. "I want it, I want it!"
Xiao Wu had quick eyes and quick hands, and snatched the puppy away in one fell swoop, twisting his body around to prevent Xiaojie from touching him.
Seeing that Xiaojie couldn't win over his taller brother, Xiaojie became anxious, threw up his neck and cried loudly, and began to complain to his sister: "I want a dog! I want a dog too."
Yingbao had been worn down by the two of them, so she had to go back to the man and spend ten coins to buy the other one.
What can we do? If we don’t buy it, the two boys will probably become black-eyed fighting cocks from now on.
This is a black-haired dog, but there is an oval piece of white fur on its forehead, which just connects to one eye.
Xiaojie was not picky and would not let go of the little black dog. When his younger brother Xiaowu stretched his neck to look at it, he also twisted around to prevent him from looking at it.
Xiao Wu snorted, hugged his little yellow dog and squeezed next to his sister, whispering: "His dog is so ugly."
Yingbao:……
When Chun Niang came back from shopping, she was surprised to see her daughter buying two milk dogs.
"Your father and I have wanted to buy a dog to look after the house for a long time, but we didn't find any for sale. Today, by chance, we bought two at once."
The southern slope is remote. Keeping one or two dogs at home can not only look after the home and the courtyard, but also warn the family at night.
When the two boys heard this, they were unhappy and said in unison: "This is my dog! I won't let you watch it!"
Chun Niang ignored the two silly sons, put away the purchased items, climbed into the mule cart, and went home.
Next comes the busy season of summer harvest and farming.
Cut wheat, thresh wheat, dry wheat.
Then the land is plowed, soybeans are planted, and rice seedlings are transplanted.
People in the East Village also have to take care of harvesting golden fungus and snow fungus, drying them, and then replanting them with fungus. They are so busy that they don’t even touch the ground.
Before the summer harvest was over, Sun Lizheng and his fellow villagers went to the villages to beat gongs to urge taxes. They also informed everyone that this year's taxes would be increased by another 10%.
Nowadays, people in the East Village have no interest in increasing wealth, and even if they have ideas, they don’t have time to think about it.
The time spent complaining about others is not as useful as planting dozens of golden ear plants.
At this time, Zhou Mao came to collect golden ears again.
This time he brought two carriages, two accountants, and several assistants to protect him.
A large group of people arrived at the door of Jiang Sanlang's old house, shouting.
Jiang Sanlang had been waiting for a long time and clasped his fists towards Zhou Mao: "Manager Zhou has worked hard."
Zhou Mao responded with a smile: "No hard work, no hard work, how many fine products did Brother Jiang receive this year?"
Jiang Sanlang smiled and led him home, "Let's go into the house and talk."
This year, the three brothers are growing high-quality golden fungus and snow fungus. All common varieties are distributed to villagers for planting, so it is difficult to tell outsiders.
Zhou Mao understood and entered the house with a smile.
When the villagers knew that the gold ear merchants were here again, they quickly called their friends home to collect the dried gold ears and moved them to Jiang Sanlang's house for weighing.
For a time, a long queue formed in front of Jiang Sanlang's house. Everyone was carrying, carrying, or carrying a basket full of golden ears, waiting for sale.
These things will not affect Yingbao, because her golden ears are not ready to be sold, and are kept in the warehouse waiting for Mrs. Wen to come back.
After a few days of feeding, the two puppies can already run around in the yard. You can see Yingbao wagging her tail rapidly and whining around her feet, ignoring their little master's calls.
Xiaojie and Xiaowu didn't care. They just followed the little dogs and teased them with chicken bones in their hands.
It's farm holiday these days, and Yuanbao and Huzi also go home for the holiday.
By now, the two of them had gone out fishing with a group of boys in the village, and they would not come back until evening.
The Jiang family was almost busy with work in the wheat field, so Jiang Liu and her two daughters-in-law gathered together to make dumplings.
"Erlang told me a while ago that he would get married when the busy farming season is over."
Mrs. Jiang Liu said while making dumplings: "I asked him which family the girl was from and asked us to go to the woman's house to inquire. But he said no, he had already inquired about it, and told me not to worry about it. Oh, can I not worry about it?
.”
The incident of marrying my granddaughter-in-law last time is still fresh in my mind.
Although Dacheng's head has recovered, he is also much quieter and often stays in the bacteria shed all day long.
Chun Niang and her sister-in-law looked at each other, feeling surprised.
The second uncle (second uncle) is actually getting married?
"This is a good thing." Chun Niang said with a smile: "I wonder when his second uncle's wedding is scheduled?"
Jiang Liu: "He said it would be the twenty-eighth of this month. He found someone to calculate the days and said it was the best."
"There are still about ten days. Wouldn't it be too soon?" Zhou said, "We haven't even prepared anything for the wedding."
Mrs. Jiang Liu: "Erlang said that he is ready, so we don't need to worry about it."
As he spoke, he sighed: "I don't know what he has prepared. He is so mysterious that he hid it from all of us."
Chun Niang thought for a while and suddenly asked: "Didn't the second uncle tell me what the woman's name is?"
"It's called Lu Yanru." Mrs. Jiang Liu muttered, "The name is not bad, but I don't know what her character is."
Chun Niang was stunned, and suddenly remembered that the girl she and her daughter met at the Gaojia Inn in the county town, her name seemed to be Yanru.
