When Zhang San stood in the corner and heard Bai Wenjing say this to her man, he felt even more despised.
These two are poor at first sight. Aren't they Hicks?
How many lotus vegetables are worth stopping business in the town and going back to dig lotus vegetables?
Bai Wenjing didn't pay attention to Zhang San outside, but continued to be busy with their own affairs.
On this day, they closed early, lit the light and began to discuss in the room.
Bai Wen simply drew a sketch of the streets in the town, wrote down what he could remember, and then handed the drawing to Xue Chang'an and said, "Xianggong, look at what else needs to be added in these stores. I don't go out much on weekdays, so I can't remember what else."
Xue Changan took the drawing in Bai Wenjing's hand and looked at it carefully. He felt that there were only so many stores in the street. Instead, he asked her curiously, "what's your mother doing with this?"
Bai Wenjing explained: "Today, when you said that we didn't sell the store, I was thinking about the cost. Like the last store, I'm afraid I won't meet a second one, regardless of its location or rent. Boss Zhang next door certainly won't rent his store to us. So I was thinking about these stores. You see, if we talk about their owners, rent them at one time and then manage them again Once you trim it, it's a big one. "
When Xue Changan heard Bai Wenjing's words, he immediately said, "yes, why didn't I remember that. Let's rent these and turn them into one. It's also a large-scale one."
"So let's..."
Xue Changan looks at Bai Wenjing and seems to be waiting for her to speak.
"I want to see if I can sell some shops here."
Bai Wenjing said, "I also want to pick some helpers in the village while I go back to dig a la carte."
Xue Chang'an nodded: "you can decide these things."
The two said they would do so. The next day they left for the countryside, and the children were left to lotus and Bai Zhenggang.
It's easy to rent carriages in the town. The horses are strong and fast. They hurried back in half a day.
Back at the entrance of the village, an unspeakable sense of silence came to Bai Wen's face. Bai Wen looked at the village quietly and felt the peace brought to her by the village.
Maybe it's that I left the village for too long. When I come back at this time, I always have a strange sense of familiarity.
Mrs. Wang still sat under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village and dozed. When she heard the horse shouting, a exciter opened her eyes and saw Bai Wenjing.
"Isn't this the daughter-in-law of Xue Laoyao's family? Oh, it's like learning from Lao Yao. You two are back? Where are the three children?"
Maybe it's because I haven't seen the people in the village for a long time. Even when I see Grandma Wang, Bai Wenjing feels friendly.
Therefore, he said with a smile: "several children went to school in the town. We couldn't delay their homework, so we didn't bring them back. Let's come back and have a look."
While staring at them up and down, Granny Wang sighed, "it's good to come back and have a look. There are still old people in the house. Your mother-in-law should be at home."
Bai Wenjing answered and followed Xue Changan on his way home.
Perhaps it is rare for a carriage to appear suddenly in a quiet village, so people cast puzzled eyes all the way.
Until they stopped the carriage in the yard, Qiaozhen, who was full of curiosity and looked at them, didn't react. With a big stomach, she said to her, "sister-in-law Wenjing, are you back?"
Bai Wenjing nodded and replied, "I'm back."
Hearing Bai Wenjing's answer, Qiaozhen shouted happily at the house, "brother, come out and see, brother Chang'an, they're back."
This call called out Xing shanwa who was in the house. Xing shanwa had a hoe in her hand. When she saw them, she immediately threw the hoe aside and ran towards their yard.
"I said brother Chang'an and sister-in-law Wenjing, why don't you say hello in advance when you come back? Qiaozhen, hurry into the house to add a fire and cook for your sister-in-law. It will take a lot of effort to come back this time. You must have not eaten yet."
Qiaozhen hurried to the house. Bai Wenjing hurriedly shouted to Qiaozhen, "don't go in and cook. We didn't leave until we had dinner. The horses in this town are different from those in our village. They run fast and don't take long to come."
The meeting of relatives was particularly pleasant. Bai Wenjing and Qiao Zhen sat in the main room and began to talk about family affairs. As for Xue Chang'an, they talked with Xing shanwa about some things in the town and some villages.
When she mentioned that she wanted to recruit some people to help in the town, Qiao Zhenli said, "it's a good thing. You also know that there are few fields in our village. Because it's close to the river bank, the fields are often submerged once. The land is very thin. Few households can support themselves by farming. As long as they can go to the town with you to transfer money, it's also a good way out."
Bai Wenjing nodded and looked at Qiaozhen's belly: "it's been half a year. Should your belly be almost the same?"
Speaking of this, Qiaozhen immediately blushed and nodded: "it was only yesterday that the lame doctor came to feel better. He said it was only these two days, but I didn't see him in my stomach. He was worried and didn't know when."
The adjustment looks more plump than half a year ago, with a happy smile on his face. It seems that he has a good life with Xing shanwa.
"Don't worry too much if the melon is ripe. He always comes out. You can walk around more during this time."
Qiaozhen nodded. Bai Wenjing was not polite and asked directly about going to the pond.
"The water in the pond is almost the same, so I thought that I would touch all the lotus vegetables in the pond when I came back this time."
Qiao Zhen nodded and said, "I told my brother about this two days ago. He said it was time to dig it out. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid it will rot. you came back just in time."
"Well, I'll start digging with brother Chang'an tomorrow. Let's drain all the water today."
Lunch was eaten at Qiaozhen's house. Qiaozhen deliberately killed a chicken and made Chicken Soup for several people.
While they were still cooking, Xue Changan and Xing shanwa had gone to the pond to drain water. When they came back, they touched several fat fish and said excitedly, "it's good to raise the fish with lotus vegetables. The lotus vegetables are big and white, and the fish are very fat. Look, madam, any one you catch weighs two or three kilograms."
Bai Wenjing was stunned when she looked at the fish in Xue Chang'an's hand. You know, what they put into the fish pond at the beginning was just fish fry picked up from the river. Unexpectedly, it has grown so big in recent months.
Bai Wenjing hurriedly said, "since the lotus pond has released the water, take out the big fish first, and then put the small fish into the river. Next year, we will make the lotus pond water to raise small fish, and next year will be a fat big fish."
Xue Chang'an nodded and said, "madam, this idea is very good. I'll do it according to my master's instructions."
