Hearing Cui Hongyu's words, Chen Xiaobei choked himself to death with a mouthful of water.
A violent cough also woke Chen Qiaoer from her sleep.
When she saw Chen Xiaobei coming back, she immediately jumped out of bed and said, "Brother, you are back. My sister-in-law has been talking about you for a long time."
One sentence made Cui Hongyu's face turn slightly red.
"Qiao'er, don't talk nonsense."
"Husband, I will go and prepare a meal for you."
What surprised Chen Xiaobei was that in addition to the fish, Cui Hongyu prepared a bottle of wine for him.
Huh.
Why is there still wine here?
Seeing him staring at the wine bottle, Cui Hongyu hurriedly explained, "Husband, Chen Ping sent this to say thank you for finding the murderer."
Chen Xiaobei looked at the pot of wine and couldn't help but sigh. If things were really as Cui Banxian said, then Chen Anbang deserved his death.
While eating, Cui Hongyu recounted today's house repair situation, "By the way, Lidong also said that the materials may not be enough. He is going to the county town tomorrow and wants to use our donkey cart."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "That's just right. I'm going to the city tomorrow to sell vegetables, so just let him go with me."
Cui Hongyu couldn't help but persuade, "Husband, you have been tired for a day, so you should take a rest tomorrow."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head. He could rest, but the vegetables in the field could not rest. If he didn't sell them quickly, the vegetables would be old. Not only would they taste bad, but the leaves would also turn yellow.
"It's okay. You don't need my help when you get into the city. I'll just sleep on the donkey cart."
Cui Hongyu did not continue to persuade her. Of course, she also knew that it would be useless to say anything else.
The next day, before it was dark, Chen Xiaobei got up.
Before the sun comes out, green leafy vegetables are the most tender.
So, pick as early as possible.
As soon as he got up, Cui Hongyu was immediately startled and got up as well.
The two of them now have some tacit understanding.
They put on their clothes lightly, walked out of the room, looked at each other, and laughed.
Seeing Cui Hongyu smiling, Chen Xiaobei couldn't help but stepped forward and gave her a hug, "Thank you!"
Cui Hongyu's face turned red, "Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for marrying me. If it weren't for you, Qiao'er and I would still be..." Before Chen Xiaobei could finish speaking, Cui Hongyu had already reached out and blocked Chen Xiaobei's mouth.
"Husband, we are already married. As long as you don't dislike it, Hongyu is willing to serve you and Qiaoer for the rest of his life."
Chen Xiaobei sighed with emotion when he heard that, women in this era are really too tolerant.
To be humbled to such an extent, hey.
According to Chen Xiaobei's idea, at least one hundred kilograms of vegetables should be sold today.
In this way, if I go to the county town again tomorrow, this wave of green vegetables will basically be sold out.
Then sow the seeds as soon as possible, and wait about half a month before it is harvest time again.
After they had packed the vegetables, Beginning of Winter also came with the craftsmen.
Seeing a cart of vegetables, Lidong was obviously a little surprised.
"Brother Xiaobei, I..."
Chen Xiaobei smiled and patted the donkey cart, "Let's go, I'll stop by to sell some vegetables."
Only then did Lidong come to his senses. He finished today's division of labor and then got on the donkey cart.
In the county town.
When Lao Wu saw that Chen Xiaobei had brought so many vegetables over today, he couldn't help but laugh, "That's what it's like. After a whole day's work, you can't sell even a few bucks for a little bit."
Chen Xiaobei unloaded the vegetables and said, "Old Wu, I leave it to you, help me sell it."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Seeing this scene, Lidong was stunned, "Brother Xiaobei, aren't you afraid that he will give you less money?"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled, "Don't be afraid, besides, it doesn't matter even if you give me a few less, I can go do something else."
this.
Lidong was obviously shocked by Chen Xiaobei's statement.
What kind of concept is this! He obviously doesn't understand it, this is beyond his cognitive scope.
Chen Xiaobei handed the reins to Lidong, "Okay, you go and do some work. Come to the market to find me when you're done."
After a long time, Chen Xiaobei decided to go to the livestock market again. He was lucky today. Someone was selling dogs, and they were just born.
Of course, puppies are not cheap either, costing five cents each.
Chen Xiaobei bought four in one go.
Seeing him buying so many dogs, even Lao Wu was a little surprised.
But Chen Xiaobei has his own ideas. The bigger the yard is, the more opportunities he will have to be away from home in the future.
Therefore, the three dogs were left at home, and each of Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer had to train a protective dog.
Another thing is to leave one for the village protection team, especially when patrolling at night. It is more convenient to have a dog.
While selling vegetables, Old Wu brought up old things again, "Brother, Butler Cao came two days ago and asked about the pheasants again. You must hurry up and climb up to Cao's house. No one dares to touch you in the county town from now on."
you."
Chen Xiaobei sighed, "Brother, I want to catch them too, but someone disturbed the pheasants and caused them to move. I haven't found their new nest yet."
This is an excuse, but it is also a helpless excuse.
At this moment, Beginning of Winter came back from doing errands. The carriage was full of tiles.
This freed Chen Xiaobei from his embarrassment.
"Old Wu, I have to go after paying the bill." Chen Xiaobei laughed.
Old Wu was not unambiguous. He took out a handful of large copper coins from a wooden box next to him and counted them. "I'll give you ninety. It's not a loss."
Chen Xiaobei didn't even look at it. He took it and put it in his arms, "Okay, I'll bring you some tomorrow."
When leaving the city, Chen Xiaobei bought two portions of meat buns, one containing ten meat buns and one containing five.
Ten of these are for Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer.
Five copies of this are for the beginning of winter.
Holding the steaming meat buns, Lidong's eyes were filled with excitement, gratitude, and a hint of envy.
The moment when Chen Xiaobei took the copper coins just now was still in his mind.
A cart of vegetables can actually be exchanged for ninety copper coins.
Moreover, Chen Xiaobei said that he would come to deliver food tomorrow.
Then there will be ninety more tomorrow.
One hundred and eighty coppers for two days. I have been working so hard for a month and I still can't earn that much.
I work as a laborer myself, with five jobs a day. I can't go to work on rainy days. Even if the weather is good, I may not be able to find work.
It doesn't matter whether they are different or not. When I compare them, Lidong will certainly feel sad.
On the way back, Lidong leaned against Chen Xiaobei and asked cautiously, "Brother Xiaobei, let's discuss something."
As soon as he saw his slightly flattering smile, Chen Xiaobei knew that he was asking for this, "Brother Lidong, why are you so polite to me? Just tell me what's going on."
"Well, I also want to grow vegetables. Can you help me sell them to that old Wu?" Chen Xiaobei was not particularly surprised by Lidong's words.
Nowadays, growing vegetables is not too difficult, but selling vegetables is difficult. Hetou Village is more than 20 miles away from the county seat. If there is not a donkey cart to sell vegetables, you have to rely on poles to carry them. You can imagine the difficulty
