Chapter 10 The new daughter-in-law enters the door
"Brother, you should take a rest early. Take a rest." Chen Ermao hesitated, turned around and ran away.
After waiting until the footsteps outside disappeared, Chen Xiaobei threw the kitchen knife to the ground with a loud clang.
His body collapsed helplessly.
At this time, Chen Qiaoer in the room was also alarmed and started crying again at the top of her lungs.
Chen Xiaobei went back to the room to comfort him for a while, and finally put Chen Qiaoer back to sleep, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.
He came to the yard again, leaned under the big locust tree, looked up at the stars, and sighed.
What did I travel through this tnd?
I was poor and had nothing to carry with me, but I had to keep my oil bottle from being stolen from time to time.
Although I was lucky enough to catch a few pheasants and have a few hundred coins in my hand, I couldn't even hope to support Chen Qiaoer with this little money.
I'm in this state now, what can I do?
After thinking about it over and over again, he suddenly slapped his head.
That's right. Grow and sell vegetables like Lao Wu.
In my previous life, my family grew vegetables. Once the vegetables were grown in the vegetable greenhouse, once the off-season vegetables were on the market, I could make a lot of money.
Although it is not out of season, the green leafy vegetables sold by Lao Wu cost a penny a pound, which is a good deal.
Having made up his mind, Chen Xiaobei became excited again.
At dawn, Chen Qiaoer was sent to Chen Dachun's home again, and he rushed to the county seat again.
Wandering around the county town until noon, he bought a large bag of rapeseed seeds, a jar of wine, and some braised vegetables, and then returned to Hetou Village excitedly.
The reason why he bought wine and braised vegetables was because he wanted to treat Chen Dachun and his family to a drink tonight.
Dachun's daughter-in-law Cuihua also returned from her parents' home, just in time to improve her life.
Looking at the food and wine on the table, the second aunt Xiumei didn't move her chopsticks for a while, "Xiaobei, if you have anything to do, just tell me."
Chen Xiaobei picked up the wine bowl and said to her, "Second Aunt, I don't have any other intentions. Qiao'er has caused you trouble these days. I want to thank you!"
Chen Dachun happily picked up the wine bowl and clinked it with Chen Xiaobei, "Brother Xiaobei, how big a deal are you? If you let Qiaoer stay at my house after you are busy, I will definitely treat him as my sister."
Chen Qiaoer opened her eyes and said, "Brother Dachun is right, I am your sister."
This sentence made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere at the scene relaxed instantly.
After drinking this bowl of wine, the second aunt Xiumei brought up old things again and talked about Cui Hongyu.
"I met the village chief today. He said that your matter has been decided in the village. He arranged for someone to help you clean up the house and asked Cui Hongyu to live here."
After saying this, Chen Xiaobei sighed helplessly, women will only affect the speed at which I make money.
Besides, he really has nothing to deal with in his family.
Early the next morning, the head of the village, Chen Anbang, really brought a few people here.
Some people cleaned the yard, some helped organize the firewood in his woodshed, and some used bamboo poles to clean up the cobwebs in the corners of his house.
What surprised Chen Xiaobei even more was that Chen Anbang's mother-in-law actually brought him two new quilts.
Being so willing to invest money, Chen Xiaobei really couldn't understand why he was so looking forward to Cui Hongyu marrying him?
In less than an hour, the house was all cleaned up. Chen Anbang stood in the middle of the yard, looked around, and then said to a middle-aged man, "Sanqiu, if you can write, go back and post a couplet. After all, we are newlyweds, so what's going on in this house?"
, I have to see some joy no matter what."
After the arrangements were made, he gave Chen Xiaobei some instructions, just asking him to be nice to Cui Hongyu and not to beat or scold him.
Chen Xiaobei knew that if he didn't agree, the matter would definitely not be over today, so he simply agreed to them all.
After finally fooling the grower here, Chen Xiaobei quickly took the rape seeds he bought and rushed to the wasteland outside the village.
This wasteland is more than an acre.
Because it is not far from Chen Xiaobei's home, Chen Qiaoer digs a lot of wild vegetables here on weekdays. The villagers assume that this wasteland belongs to his family, so few others come.
Another very important reason for the default is that this land is not far from the river and is sandy land. Except for some wild vegetables, no crops can grow at all.
The sandy land is just right for growing vegetables.
Chen Xiaobei took a hoe and simply dug a few trenches in the ground, then sprinkled the rape seeds in bit by bit and covered them with soil again.
Then I used the newly purchased iron pot and water from the river to water the newly sown seeds all over.
Maybe this iron pot didn't expect that in addition to cooking, it also unlocked new functions.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, the door of Chen Xiaobei's house became lively.
Many children were noisily shouting songs and running back and forth.
Chen Xiaobei was also called over by the chief, and a big red flower was hung diagonally on his chest.
Chen Xiaobei was helpless, but now he was unable to resist.
After standing at the door for a cup of tea, I saw a carriage approaching in the distance.
Pulling the car behind the carriage, you can't see clearly what's going on inside.
The children in the village gathered around the carriage and became even more excited, shouting and looking at the bride.
The carriage stopped about ten feet away from Chen Xiaobei. Second Aunt Xiumei stepped forward quickly, lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and helped someone out from inside.
This man was dressed in red but without a red hijab, and he just got off the carriage.
Cui Hongyu, this is the legendary Cui Hongyu.
She has curved eyebrows with willow leaves, small cherry mouth, and a pair of big watery eyes. As the saying goes, she has beautiful eyes and a charming smile.
This Cui Hongyu is even more beautiful than the legend.
But Chen Xiaobei was not happy at all.
After all, three men have been killed, it makes me shudder just thinking about it.
Xiumei helped Cui Hongyu to come to Chen Xiaobei and coughed lightly, "Xiaobei, what are you still doing? Take your bride home quickly."
Cui Hongyu, however, was very generous. She came to Chen Xiaobei, bowed slightly and said, "Please take care of me, husband."
Chen Xiaobei finally came to his senses and said, "Oh, then come with me."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back. His lukewarm attitude made Cui Hongyu a little nervous, so she followed him into the courtyard step by step.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Cui Hongyu still had a look of surprise on his face. Maybe he didn't expect that the family he married into was so dilapidated.
At this time, the second aunt Xiumei had already enlisted the help of the neighbors to bring in all the dowry that had been accompanied by the carriage.
There were quite a few silks and satins, but seeing these things, Chen Xiaobei shook his head repeatedly.
It's no use being flashy, dressing beautifully, being smooth and hairy, but being hungry is useless.
The last person to walk in was the coachman.
He came to Chen Xiaobei and clasped his fists, "I've met my uncle."
Then he looked at Cui Hongyu and said, "Miss, I will go back first."
Cui Hongyu nodded, "Uncle Axiang, go back and tell my mother that everything is fine with me here."
After speaking, she looked at Chen Xiaobei.
From Cui Hongyu's eyes, Chen Xiaobei saw a look of pleading.
