Chapter 17 Don't ask Du Niang, ask Zhang Niang
So, the next day, Tangchi took some mushrooms to the east of the village.
Worried about meeting too many people, Tangchi got up early and rushed to the east of the village before noon. At this time, the men who had gone to the fields had not returned yet, and the women were all preparing lunch.
Tang Chi walked quietly past Aunt Li's door, past Aunt Xia's door...
"Zhang..." Tangchi stood at the door of Widow Zhang's house and poked her head inside. Yes, she thought about it for a long time yesterday. Besides asking the housekeeper of the magistrate's house, there was only Widow Zhang.
In fact, her only contact with Widow Zhang was through selling mushrooms, but she felt that Widow Zhang was a good person, and she could even be friends with him.
As soon as Tang Chi opened his mouth, he felt that calling him Widow Zhang was too unpleasant. After thinking about it, he shouted: "Is Sister Zhang here?"
"Here it comes -" a clear voice responded, and then Widow Zhang, wearing a light yellow sarong, walked out with the sieve in her hand.
As she came out, she said: "I want to see whose girl has such a sweet mouth... Oh, it's Tangchi!"
Tangchi smiled brightly at her.
"Come to sell mushrooms again? I haven't finished eating the mushrooms yet!" Widow Zhang covered her mouth and smiled. Her eyes were different from those of ordinary villagers who became chaotic due to the oppression of life. Her eyes were very bright.
Her smile is beautiful from the heart.
Facing her smiling eyes, Tangchi blinked sheepishly and said, "I'm not here to sell mushrooms anymore. I'll give some mushrooms to Sister Zhang this time, and I'll ask some questions by the way."
"Look at my brain, come in and sit down!" Widow Zhang led Tangchi into the yard.
The yard is very spacious. To the east is a large chicken coop, where you can see many chickens. The yard is very neat and clean. It can be seen that Widow Zhang is a very particular person.
"Come, sit in the room."
Tangchi nodded, followed Widow Zhang into the house, and placed the mushrooms on the table.
There are not many things in the room. There is a table and a few chairs near the door. There is only one tea cup on the table. It can be seen that people are rarely entertained here.
"I wanted to ask you to drink some water, but there is only one cup at home. If you don't mind, use a bowl." Widow Zhang put down the sieve and went to pour water.
Tangchi quickly stood up and called her.
"Sister Zhang, don't bother me. I'm just here to ask you something."
Widow Zhang glanced at Tangchi curiously, found a piece of cloth to wipe her hands and sat down. "What's the matter? Tell me."
"Uh..." Tangchi glanced at the table uncomfortably, feeling a little uneasy.
"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"
Tangchi raised his head and saw the bright eyes of Widow Zhang, and felt more and more that this widow with a bad reputation was actually very reliable. She shook her head and said: "I have found a buyer in the city who is willing to buy my mushrooms for the time being. This time it is mainly about
I would like to ask you something about this kind of pumpkin, what should I pay attention to?"
She paid attention to every expression of Widow Zhang. After all, it was really strange for a native peasant girl to not know how to grow pumpkins.
Widow Zhang was just stunned for a moment, then returned to normal, and then she started to praise herself like a queen. "You asked the right person about this! Although I raise chickens, I have also grown pumpkins before. I used to
