Chapter 61 Get out if you can't do it
"It's not too bad, remember to come to me next time you have something."
"knew."
Just as the mayor left, an old couple came to her stall. Qiao Mai sat on a chair and watched them calmly.
It turned out to be the parents of Yuan's family, thinking, they are looking for trouble again.
"Are you the daughter-in-law born at home?"
"Yes, exactly!"
"I remember you, you were among the crowd last time."
"Yes, it was lively after watching it for a while, what's the matter?"
Qiao Mai just looked at them calmly.
Why did these two people come here? Naturally, they had heard the rumors and conducted investigations. They knew that the youngest son's daughter-in-law turned out to be Miss Qiao, whom everyone envied in the town. They kept kissing no matter what they said.
I heard that Mrs. Qiao can earn a lot of silver a month, but it is much more than the one hundred taels, and I regret it!
"We are parents from the same family."
"Not anymore."
"You asked Jiaqi to do this?"
"Bah, you sold your son and treated him harshly since he was a child. He has long wanted to leave."
"I think you encouraged it."
"Whatever you say, get out of here."
"Tell you, it's so easy to leave my Yuan family, there is no way!"
"Do it if you have the ability, and get out if you don't. Don't talk so much nonsense here. I'm not your son. I must have inquired before I came here. You have also heard who I am, Mrs. Qiao. It will do you no good."
"We'll see!"
"If you want to lose money, just wait and see, whoever is afraid of whom, hum!"
Qiao Mai didn't even look at them directly. The couple glanced at the goods on her stall, swallowed, and flung their sleeves away.
Not really a fool, much better than the Qiao family and the Tian family.
These three families should continue to come to find trouble in the future. They are small farmers and have no backing, which really adds some fun to her life.
She didn't take them seriously at all. It's okay to make trouble or make trouble, but the person who moves her is not allowed!
Let’s settle down for a while before we talk, don’t be too anxious about everything.
October in golden autumn is the harvest season for farmers.
When you are busy, no one will miss her.
It also allowed her to concentrate on her work. In the market, when she saw someone selling chestnuts, she would collect some and fry them for the children as snacks.
She will buy fresh lotus seeds when she sees them. She guards the official road, and vendors from all over the world pass by her. When she sees good ones, she hurriedly asks them to stop. As long as they are not expensive, she will buy some. Buy after the price is finished.
With space, she is not afraid of being damaged, nor is she afraid of buying too much.
It's going to be cold, so we need to stock up on various supplies.
Every month, she would hand over ten taels of silver to Yuan's family on time. She seldom interfered with family affairs, giving the child freedom and space for the Yuan family. This was what the child and he liked the most.
With this busy schedule, it was mid-October, and the pancakes at home were almost ready to dry.
The temperature outside also dropped to about 15 degrees, and people put on thin jackets, and the wooden boxes that Qiao Mai ordered at the carpenter's shop were also delivered to their homes.
She put the persimmons in wooden boxes, 20 persimmons per box, and there are more than 200 boxes in total, which shows that she has collected a lot of persimmons.
"Brother Yuan, can you help me deliver two boxes to Sister Chen next door?"
Yuan Jiaqi hesitated for a while, and felt that it was necessary to say something.
"I'm a man, it's not appropriate to send a bachelorette."
"Then you take Fengyun with you, let him deliver it, and you watch from the side."
"Can."
"Give another ten boxes to shopkeeper Lu, tell her not to eat too much at one time, and eat everything in moderation."
"OK."
"Give another ten boxes to the mayor, I will sell the rest, and we will keep twenty boxes for our own food."
"You are the head of the family, you are the head of the house."
Qiao Mai glanced at him and smiled at him, "OK"
The man as big as a Mopanzhuzi was sun-dried and crushed by her, and turned into a round pancake with a layer of hoarfrost hanging on it.
Shopkeeper Lu couldn't put it down after receiving it. He took it and ate it in his mouth, and was intoxicated for a long time.
"Sweet and glutinous, like eating glutinous rice balls, not bad, not bad, the old people probably like it the most."
After the mayor received it, he took a look at it for a long time and tried to take a bite.
"Well, it's delicious, and it has a bit of chewiness. There are few fruits and vegetables in winter. It's better to eat this than preserved fruit. That stuff is too sweet, so this is just right."
He ate two in one go, and if it wasn't for Yuan Jiaqi's order, he could have eaten at least five.
This Qiao family is really good. Whenever there is something delicious, it will be sent to him, which is worthy of his help.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder every day, the Yuan family set up a shed on the side of the house, discussed with Qiao Mai, and stockpiled three carts of good charcoal for ten taels of silver and a load of firewood for ten taels of silver. Thirty loads.
The family needs to burn the kang and keep the young quail warm, so they can’t do without firewood and charcoal for a while.
Qiao Mai thought about it, and it was not enough to just stockpile these things, so he asked the Yuan family to stockpile 100 catties of rice, 100 catties of white noodles, and all kinds of rice noodles and oils, which almost filled the house.
Fengyun and Yunfeng have moved from the upper room to the west wing room, and the place where they used to live has become a warehouse.
Four upper rooms, a warehouse, a bedroom, a living room, and a kitchen.
In order to keep everyone warm in winter, a stove is set up in the east and west rooms for kang.
Now there are four stoves in the house, each of which has a big pot.
In this way, there is no need to support a charcoal stove, and you can cook peanuts directly in the large pot on the stove.
At the end of October, the weather turned cold, and finally God changed his face.
The north wind was howling, and the shaved faces were painful. Qiao Mai went out of the stall as usual. The prefabricated house she had booked at the carpenter's shop was ready long ago.
Yuan Jiaqi started to help her set up the prefabricated house on the stall every day, set up the table, and only went home after everything was done.
Many women who provoked him envied Qiao Shi, and praised him as soon as they met, but Qiao Mai just smiled.
Sitting in the board room, guarding the four charcoal stoves, it is not cold at all, and there are few diners, so she does embroidery in it, and she feels very beautiful alone.
A lot of vendors don’t come out in such weather, but she is still holding on.
In weather like this, you should be at home, boil a pot of hot water, make tea, make a plate of melon seeds, and sit around with the whole family.
She doesn't want to be at home, and feels uncomfortable when she is free. She can't help the child with him in the morning.
In the afternoon, the child has eaten, took a nap, got up to play for a while, and he has to copy books and there are many things to do.
Since it is a fake couple, there is no need to get tired of being together, it is better to keep some distance.
Just as she was doing her embroidery work seriously, a carriage stopped in front of her booth, and Miss Wang, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, appeared.
"Hey, sister Joe?"
"Yo, rare customer."
"Recently, there are some things at home, so please forgive me for not coming over."
"Where's your brother?"
"I'm at home, I didn't come with you today."
"I happen to have something to ask for your help, can I?"
"Of course, what is the relationship between the two of us, don't you think so? As long as I can help, then I will definitely do it."
So Qiao Mai called Xiuhong to look at the stall, she went to the embroidery shop and called shopkeeper Lu, and led the carriage in front to Qiao's house.
Miss Wang and the maid got out of the car, and she affectionately held shopkeeper Lu with one arm and Qiao Mai with the other.
"Is this your home?"
"Well, let's go in and show you something."
Shopkeeper Lu and Qiao Mai had been waiting for this day for a long time. They knocked on the door, and the Yuan family got up to open it. Seeing outsiders, they opened the door, waited for them to enter, then barred the door, and then went back to the house directly.
"Sister Qiao, who is that?"
"My man?"
"Wow, I just got married after not seeing you for more than two months?"
"Yeah, it's not the first marriage, you love me, and we'll be together after changing the household registration."
"It's really surprising, but with Sister Qiao's temper, I think it can be done."
Entered Qiao Mai's room, "Sit on the kang?"
"Your house is so warm"
"There is a charcoal basin in the house, and the kang is also burning, so it is naturally warm."
"Your house is so clean and well organized."
"This is Sister Lu's house. Seeing that I am pitiful, let me live in it."
I made a mistake when I typed too fast. I corrected the typo. I searched for chapter fifty-four for a long time but couldn’t find the typo. I’ll look for it later.
