Chapter 51

He still knows.

At that time, he only tried to cover up in front of him and forgot to ask him when he arrived? Maybe it's that second, or maybe it's already here.

All her embarrassment was seen in his eyes, but he did not expose her. In this circuitous and tactful way, he did not embarrass her in front of anyone, including him.

Taking the children to eat is just a cover. What he really wants to give is the thirty taels of silver.

The sum of thirty Liang was exactly what she had paid for the diagnosis, board and lodging on the day she left the capital. Instead, it seemed that she had returned her silver intact, and more than one cent had become a handout.

I was so careful.

I can't tell what it's like. I just feel an indescribable sour and astringent spreading layer upon layer. With a trace of sunshine like warmth, I rush to the top of my head and make my eyes slightly hot.

"Mother, why don't you eat it?"

Wang Shu's crisp voice interrupts Qiao Wei's thoughts.

Qiao Wei took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, touched her daughter's head and said with a smile, "mother, I'll eat it."

After that, I took a bite of crab roe crisp, salty, with a little sweetness, like honey.

"Is it delicious?" Wang Shu asked with a smile.

Qiao Wei a smile: "delicious!"

Wang Shu laughed more happily: "I also feel good to eat! All the things uncle Ming bought are delicious

Qiao Wei looked at her daughter gently: "does Wangshu like Uncle Ming?"

"Well!" Wangshu nodded without thinking, looked at Jingyun and said, "brother likes it too!"

Jingyun said, "I don't have it!"

Wangshu insisted: "you have, I have seen, you have been peeking at Uncle Ming."

"I I was... " Jing Yun's eyes flashed, like a little adult, and said seriously, "I'm looking at his mask!"

Wangshu made a small face: "brother lied."

"I didn't!"

Two little guys, you and I argued one by one, and they were red in the face.

Qiao Wei was not willing to finish the box of crab yolk pastry at last. Seeing the escalation of the war between the two little guys, she almost started to fight. She just led one by one and started to be a peacemaker: "OK, OK, stop arguing. My mother will take you to buy seeds."

Wang Shu blinked his eyes and asked, "mother, what is the seed?"

Qiao Wei was in a good mood and said: "a seed is something planted in the field. After watering and fertilizing it, it will grow up. Some will grow into wheat, some into rice, and some into watermelon, sorghum, corn..."

"Are my brother and I seeds planted in the field?"

"You It's the seed in my mother's stomach. It grows and grows in my mother's stomach. After ten months, it comes out. "

"Oh." Wang Shu seems to understand, "who planted it?"

Your father!

"How?"

XXOO！

"Can we plant another one?"

No!

"I don't want brother Jingyun. He quarrels with me. I want a new brother."

It's your brother again! It's not your brother!

Qiao Wei was tortured for half an hour by her daughter's 100000 reasons. It's so easy to get to the gate of the grain shop. Her head is going to smoke!

"Boss! Do you have sorghum seeds

Just across the threshold, she couldn't wait to walk to the counter.

The man in green behind the counter turned around and saw Qiao Wei. His face was stunned: "is it you?"

Qiao Wei was surprised: "brother Zhao?"

Brother Zhao said with a smile, "do you want to buy sorghum seeds?"

Qiao Wei nodded, looked around and said in surprise, "brother Zhao, don't you have a tea shop on the East Street? This grain shop belongs to your family, too? "

Zhao Ge smiles and shakes his head: "no, this is opened by my brother. He has something to do temporarily. I'll look at the shop for him." With that, his eyes fell on the two little dolls carved with powder and jade. "Pretty doll, you..."

Qiao Wei said, "my son and daughter, Jingyun and Wangshu, are called Uncle Zhao."

They called "Uncle Zhao" obediently.

Brother Zhao happily grabbed two sugar peanuts and stuffed them into their pockets.

Two happy thanks.

Brother Zhao and Qiao Wei talked about business: "what do you buy sorghum seeds for? Do you grow it yourself? "

Qiao Wei nodded.

Brother Zhao frowned slightly: "you might as well grow rice. Now many people don't grow sorghum. It's not as sweet as sugarcane. It's hard to get rid of the yield and insect pests --"

Qiao Wei understands that brother Zhao is telling the truth. She remembers that when she was a child, she could often eat sweet sorghum. The skin of sweet sorghum is very sharp, and she could make a long cut in her hand if she was not careful But she likes that taste, better than sugarcane.

But slowly, the surrounding villages do not plant it, the reason may be that Zhao said these points.

But there is nothing else to grow in that saline alkali land. It's not that there is no second plant that can tolerate saline alkali. Ephedra, weeping willow, apricot and so on can be planted. But it needs to be harvested quickly, sold well, and familiar crops, not only sweet sorghum.Qiao Wei said: "that piece of land used to be wasteland. If I don't accept tenancy, the tax will be reduced by half. I won't lose anything."

So, brother Zhao was relieved: "how much do you want?"

Qiao Wei did not plant it from the beginning. Some of them could not make up their minds: "that piece of land is about ten mu. How much does brother Zhao think is enough?"

Brother Zhao thought about it: "if you plant sorghum, it's about two to three Jin per mu. You can buy 30 jin without losing money. In recent years, there are fewer people planting sorghum and fewer seeds. If you're lucky, it's all yours in the end. If you're not lucky, you won't be able to get in after selling out."

Qiao Wei is now a little rich woman with thirty taels of silver. Of course, she bought thirty Jin and spent one or two silver.

There is no counter-offer.

She always has a lot of grievances and gratitude. Brother Zhao has been convenient with her in the gambling house for many times. She always remembers him well.

Before leaving, brother Zhao stopped Qiao Wei: "I almost forgot something."

"What?" Qiao Wei asked.

Brother Zhao's face was a little worried: "today, a young man from Beijing went to the gambling house to find you. You are not familiar with Dajin. You may not know his details. He has people in the capital. Last time he was arrested in the yamen, it was the man who used his relationship to release him ahead of time. Don't let them come to you for revenge. "

It's too small-minded to find revenge for this. It was Wu Dajin who provoked her first. She didn't make a secret move to Wu Dajin. Even in the gambling house, she didn't cheat.

"What does it look like?" She asked.

Brother Zhao replied, "a very handsome young man in red with a fan."

Ah, Ming Xiu's friend, the beautiful man in red.

Qiao Wei said with a smile: "thank you brother Zhao for reminding me that he didn't come to seek revenge, he came to see the excitement."

"Do you know him?" Brother Zhao was shocked.

Qiao Wei smiles: "know his friend."

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. The young man in red looks like a powerful man in Beijing. His friends are also expensive. It is obvious that this little village woman knows such a valuable person.

Zhao is a little glad that he didn't help Wu Dajin. Instead, he leveled a bowl of water and gave her some care that he could.

No matter whether she accepts her feelings or not, at least she has not offended her.

After buying the seeds, Qiaowei hired a carriage to go back to the village. The children were tired and fell asleep in Qiaowei's arms. Just now, they quarreled not to ask for their brother's Wangshu. They took his brother's hand, and Jingyun also took her. The two kids made up miraculously!

Qiao Wei bumped on the carriage and closed her eyes in a daze.

Qiao Wei was sleeping soundly, but she was suddenly awakened by a hoarse voice. She was so scared that she opened her eyes and saw the baby in her arms well. Then she was relieved. Then she opened the curtain and found that the carriage was fast approaching the village.

Under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, there are many people, one of whom is aunt Luo. The voice just came from her mouth.

She took an old village woman by the collar with her hand and said with tears and tears: "you can't just walk! What about my daughter-in-law when you leave? "

Qiao Wei, the old village woman, once met her younger brother Cuiyun. On the children's banquet, she was Aunt Wang of the next village, and the only stable woman in all the villages.

Aunt Wang said in embarrassment: "I can't help it! She was not born in that situation! Let's prepare for the future! "
