Chapter 165

"You..."

Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, village head Hu ziqiao turned and walked out, "forget it, I won't tell you. I'll tell people that we can't exchange sweet potato for vermicelli today."

"Uncle, wait a minute."

The village head thought she had something else to do. He stopped and looked back.

"We still need to change it, but we can make a white note. We owe it first, and we'll give it to them in a few days."

"Listen to you."

The village head answered and strode away.

Xia Xi rolled her sleeves, "Auntie, I'll help you with the cooking."

"Go, go, go."

The village head's daughter-in-law chuckled and said, "I'll do this job myself. You'd better go to the workshop and let them work harder. If you can do more, you can do more."

Xia Xi dropped her sleeve and said happily, "well, listen to you, I'll urge them."

"Go on."

The village head went to the village earlier and told people that they couldn't change the vermicelli today. The waiting people immediately burst the pan. Many people came to change the vermicelli. They didn't dare to go back to dinner at noon. They were waiting in line here, but they couldn't change it.

Xia Xi came back and saw that people were a little worried. She went to the table and explained with a smile, "it's not that we can't change it, it's that the noodles we made are sold out today, but they're gone. I know you've been waiting in line for a long time, and it's hard for you. So, you're still in line. Who wants to change the vermicelli? Let the village head uncle write a note for you, and the note is marked with a number. After a few days, the vermicelli have surplus. You can take the vermicelli according to the number on the note. "

When she said this, the crowd suddenly understood, and the noise was reduced.

Wei Cai's daughter-in-law was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She brought her mother's family here to exchange noodles and let them have a taste of them, but now she said no change.

When everyone calms down, the village head continues to collect sweet potatoes. Xia Xi goes to the house and makes a rough inventory of the vermicelli. It's about 1200 Jin. She wants to give huonan 1000 Jin tomorrow and save the remaining 200 Jin for her own use.

After that, I went to the workshop.

Working people are busy, they also heard the outside news, so many pieces of vermicelli all sold at once, all happy mouth, have said hello, "Lady Xia."

"Lady Xia."

Xia Xi said with a smile, "let's work hard. Our workshop will make a lot of money soon.

"Don't worry."

A stout woman took the lead and said, "we are working hard now."

……

In the middle of the afternoon, Xia Xi went back by carriage.

The village head didn't take up his work until it was dark. After watching the workers dry the vermicelli and clean the workshop, he locked the door and went home happily.

Before I got home, I heard Wei Cai's daughter-in-law's noisy voice, "Niang, you're too much. I just want some vermicelli. You're a bit of a stickler. I said that when we get our vermicelli back, we'll give it back to you."

"I told you, too. The noodles are finished."

"I don't believe it. When I came here yesterday, you said you wanted to keep the vermicelli for the Chinese New Year. You finished it in the whole day."

"What's the matter?"

The village head went into the yard with a black face.

Wei Cai's daughter-in-law was aggrieved. "Dad, you know, today's vermicelli can't be replaced. I came to lend some vermicelli to my mother to let my elder brother take it back, but my mother said she wouldn't give it to me."

"Give it to her."

After that in the morning, the village head was annoyed when he saw Wei Cai's daughter-in-law. He gave her a piece of vermicelli to let her go quickly, out of sight and out of mind.

The village head's daughter-in-law leans over her back and gives the village head a wink. She says, "after eating all the noodles at home, where else?"

But the village head was tired of Wei Cai's daughter-in-law. He didn't look this way. Before he could open her mouth, Wei Cai's daughter-in-law yelled again, "Dad, you see, you see, my mother has this attitude. Anyway, Wei Cai is your own son. We don't lack filial piety. How can we make such a big difference? If your sister-in-law comes, you can give it to her without saying a word

She always had a loud voice, and it was evening, and the village was very quiet. Almost half of the village could hear her noise.

"All right, shut up."

The village head scolded and asked his daughter-in-law, "what's the matter?"

He remembers that Xia Xi gave me a lot of noodles, and he didn't eat a few meals. How could he finish them.

In front of Wei Cai's daughter-in-law, it is impossible for the village head's daughter-in-law to say that she gave it to her daughter. Otherwise, Wei Cai's daughter-in-law would not be able to make trouble?

Faltering, desperately give the village head wink, "is... Yesterday... Lotus came, i... I cooked all the vermicelli."

Thinking of the big flower bag given to Wei Lian yesterday, the village head immediately understood what was going on.

Glared at his daughter-in-law, you said to give it, you how much to stay a little, now how to do?

The village head's daughter-in-law is also worried. We should know that Wei Cai's daughter-in-law will make trouble today, and she will leave a little bit of what she says.

"Father, mother."

Wei Qian's daughter-in-law entered the hospital with a cloth bag in her arms. "This is the vermicelli that lady Xia gave to my family. We haven't been willing to eat it yet. Let's give it to our younger brothers and sisters first."

"Oh, sister-in-law, it's very kind of you."

Wei Cai's daughter-in-law immediately forgot her unhappiness and strode to meet her. She took the cloth bag from Wei Qian's daughter-in-law's hand and held it tightly in her arms. She didn't ask how much. She said with a smile, "don't worry, sister-in-law. When we change the noodles, we will definitely give it back to you."

Wei Qian's daughter-in-law smiles.

"Father, mother, I'm gone."

Wei Cai's daughter-in-law said hello to the village head and walked away quickly with the vermicelli in her arms.

"Qian's daughter-in-law, why didn't you eat?"

"Niang, it's OK. Every day in the county, the head of the family is stewed with cabbage meat and vermicelli. We'll just make do at home. When I get paid with the head of the family, we'll buy some delicious food for the children“

"How is Qian Er? Can he carry it?"

Since the workshop was opened, the village head has never followed him to the county, and the workers have come out early and come back late. They haven't seen Wei Qian for many days.

"Well, people have spirit."

Wei Qian went home and told his daughter-in-law that Xia Xi would let him manage the accounts of the workshop, and told her not to say anything. Wei Qian's daughter-in-law was very tight lipped, even her father-in-law didn't say anything.

"That's good. Don't be so frugal. What should be improved should also be improved. If you don't have any money in your hand, your parents still have some. Take it first."

"Thank you, mother. No, we still have twenty coppers in our hands. I'll go back and cook for the children. You two are busy, too."

"Slow down on the road."

Wei Qian's daughter-in-law answered and went out of the yard.

When she went away, the village head glared at his daughter-in-law, "you are so stupid. You gave the money to lian'er yesterday. Where else do you have?"

The village head's daughter-in-law also remembers. She is very glad that Wei Qian's daughter-in-law didn't say she wanted to, otherwise she would offend the two daughters-in-law.

"I'll have to pay attention to what I say in the future."

It's like talking to yourself or to the village head.
