Chapter 188

Xu Qing suggested that bearded change his work and rest to work in the daytime and work in the night. However, bearded did a good job in the early stage of his mountain stronghold. Now we have nothing to do but choose water and water. It doesn't matter whether we change it or not.

After living in the stronghold for two days, Xu Qing left. When they left, beard brought half a bucket of snails. Afraid that Xu Qing and Li Changting would scold him, they put down the snails and ran away.

Three days later, Xu Qing and his family returned to Changxi village and told Li Jing about the situation. As for whether they want to move or not, it's up to them.

"Is it coming to the Mid Autumn Festival?" This day, Xu Qing suddenly remembered that she seemed to be making moon cakes at this time last year.

Li Jinmei nodded: "yes, the Mid Autumn Festival will be in three days."

Xu Qing: "I have to make some moon cakes."

It's just that the oranges in her space are ripe. This year, I will make moon cakes with orange and peach flavors.

Approaching the Mid Autumn Festival, every family is preparing to make some delicious food, otherwise a good festival will be miserable, and I always feel that the next year will not be smooth.

Many people come over with rice and want to exchange mung beans and red beans with Xu Qing. They ask Xu Qing what kind of moon cakes she plans to make, and more simply, they ask Xu Qing if she can buy some moon cakes with grain.

The cost of moon cakes is high. Xu Qing is not willing to exchange them for several meters. It's not equal at all. When the price is too high, others think that she deliberately falsifies the grain, so let's just say she doesn't sell it.

But mung beans and red beans can be changed, and the villagers themselves are reluctant to give up. At most, they can go back and make some porridge.

Until the Mid Autumn Festival, Xu Qing cut the leeks planted in the bamboo basket, mixed the leek egg stuffing, and everyone made dumplings together.

Part of the dumpling is boiled, the other part is fried, sprinkled with scallion and sesame.

The casserole you bought in Beijing is very easy to use. If you can have a handle, it's almost like a pan.

After eating the dumplings, Xu Qing asks Xu Ying to take hui'er and Xiaomei out for a walk. By the way, she sends some moon cakes to Li Qin's calligrapher and patriarch's family.

I don't know how Xu Qing knew about sending moon cakes. Xu's mother immediately came over and asked Xu Qing how to send moon cakes to others during the festival, but she didn't.

Xu Qing: "didn't we break up the relationship?"

Old lady Xu opened her eyes: "cut off the relationship? When did it happen? I don't agree! "

Xu Qing: "what can you do if you don't agree? I'll cut off the relationship with you unilaterally. Can you stop looking for me in the future?"

Old lady Xu angrily pointed to Xu Qing's nose: "you You unfilial son

Xu Qingqi calmed his mind and said, "I'm unfilial. Go and sue me."

The dirty words in Xu's mother's mouth are about to roll out. However, when she saw Li Changting come out, she closed her mouth again. Finally, she gouged out Xu Qing and left angrily.

Mother Xu went back to find someone to cry about what Xu Qing had done to her, but who paid attention to her.

At this time in the past, their rice in the first season had already been harvested and planted in the second season. But this year, the rice is dead and there is no new grain to make up for it. The potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in the bamboo basket are not mature, so that many families now have no food to eat.

Fortunately, the weather is a little cooler than before, so people who have no food go to the nearby mountains to find food, even if they can find roots and leaves.

As long as you stick to it for another half a month, the potatoes in the bamboo basket will be harvested.

Cheng Dafang comes to sell gold, silver and jewelry this time. He seems to know that Xu Qing's family has the most food. He comes to her directly and takes out the bag of gold, silver and jewelry for her to choose.

In the past, we had to pick out the small ones, but now there are only some large ones with higher prices.

Xu Qing asked Li Changting to come and tell the truth. Everything was true and there was no flaw.

"Where do these things come from?"

"This is what we sell in our family. It's absolutely normal." Cheng Dafang assured that he also saw that Xu Qing wanted to buy it.

Xu Qing wants to buy these things because they can keep the value of their value. He can make a lot of money by selling them in the future.

But she is not short of money, so there is no need to buy. After a lot of bargaining, Xu Qing finally won all the gold and silver jewelry at the price of five Jin of rice and four packages of vegetables.

Cheng Dafang doesn't dare to bargain at all, because other people's families are running out of food, so no one will buy these things. Only Xu Qing is willing to buy them. So as long as he can change some food, he will sell as much as he wants, which is better than starving to death.

Xu Qing took out a small box and cleaned up all the gold, silver and jewelry, then stored them for future appreciation.

Cheng Dafang bought some food from Xu Qing. After he went back, he didn't know what he had said to his son and daughter. Xu Qing could see them on the road every time he went out these days.

And each time the two people were staring at Xu Qing, when Xu Qing looked at them, he immediately turned his head when he didn't see them.

Cheng Qingqing goes to find her sister. She seldom sees Cheng Yingying again since her family is driven out by Xu Laoniang.

Cheng Yingying is pregnant, especially uncomfortable. She wants to eat sour plum and candied fruit, but she has nothing to eat except potatoes with a local smell."Sister."

"What are you doing here? If you are seen by that old woman, you will curse again." Cheng Yingying is not comfortable and in a bad mood.

"It's OK. I saw her go to the mountains with her basket." Cheng Qingqing sat down beside her sister, "sister, do you know Xu Qing's husband?"

"Well." Although I haven't seen her before, mother Xu scolds the whole Xuqing family every day, and her ears are about to cocoon.

"Elder sister, Xu Qing's husband Li Changting is very handsome. He has martial arts skills and his family is rich. How about I go to be a concubine for him?" Cheng Qingqing has a wonderful imagination.

"You can try it, but Dad sold all the valuable things, and you don't even have a dowry." Cheng Qingqing has a bit of sarcasm in her mouth, but she can't help thinking that if her sister really married Li Changting, she would be able to enjoy happiness and not be hungry.

"Elder sister, you don't know. I went to inquire. There used to be a rich family who begged to marry him. He didn't even marry. He looked He's cold-blooded. I think if he goes to propose marriage, he'll probably be rejected. " Cheng Qingqing pursed her lips in loss.

Cheng Yingying Eye Bead son turned a circle: "that let him refuse not to become."

"What do you mean?" Cheng Qingqing is stunned and goes to listen to her sister's advice.

Cheng Qingqing went back.

In the evening, Cheng Yingying tells Xu Jie that her sister wants to be Li Changting's concubine. Xu Jie frowns, but says nothing.

Her sister went to pry the corner of Xu Jie's sister. According to reason, Xu Jie should be angry. Which brother-in-law would like his brother-in-law to have three wives and four concubines.

However, Xu Jie didn't care. It seems that he has no feelings and good feelings for Xu Qing.
