Xiaocao and Liu Shi who stayed at home were also not idle. Taking advantage of the warm sun after the snow, we lifted the grass thatch behind the house in the front yard one by one, shaking off the snow on it. Looking at the lush green vegetables bathed in bright sunlight and not affected by the spring snow at all, smiles brighter than the sunshine appeared on the faces of the couple.
Fang, who brought her daughter to visit, was shocked by the greenery in front of her when she entered the yard, and felt as if she had entered spring in advance. Mrs. Fang was speechless, and said again and again: "Your vegetables grow really well! Sister Muyun, our family has also weaved grass thatch, and tried to plant a vegetable field according to the method you taught me. Root seedlings. There was a heavy snow yesterday, and they all froze again. I don’t know if they can survive... "
The corners of Liu's brows and eyes couldn't restrain the joy, and said with a smile: "It's not her father, I let Xiaocao toss around. I can't help them, and they planted these vegetables with the idea of throwing a few packets of seeds for nothing. I didn't expect Has this girl really grown it? Your family’s growth is not good, is it because the land is not fertile enough? You also know that my yard has been deserted for many years, and a thick layer of leaf fertilizer has accumulated... "
Xiaocao hurriedly said: "The green vegetables and mustard seeds in our backyard are sown densely. After two days of warming up, Aunt Zhou will transplant some and go back to plant."
Fang's youngest daughter, Zhou Shanhu, is not much older than her and has a lively personality. Every time she came here, she was always envious of the vegetables at Xiaocao's house, and when she returned home, she watered and fertilized, hoping that the vegetables in the yard would grow up sooner and eat the vegetables with green leaves earlier. When I came together this morning, I saw that the pathetic vegetables were all frozen, and I was so distressed that I cried a lot.
Hearing what Xiaocao said, he immediately took her hand with a smile on his face, and said, "Really? Are you really going to give us some? But... don't your vegetables be sold in the town?"
Xiaocao took her by the hand and went to the backyard, saying, "Huanhu, you also know that too thick vegetables will affect the growth. Tomorrow, you and sister Linglong will pick up the thick ones, and our family will take advantage of it, Bai Picked up two labors!"
"Oh! So you have this idea!" Zhou Shanhu laughed and wanted to pinch her pink and tender face, but Xiaocao avoided it with a smile. Two little girls were chasing and playing on the ridge of the vegetable field. Zhou Linglong followed behind, smiling quietly.
In the main room of the Yu family, Mrs. Li chatted with her mother-in-law again.
"Mother, my second brother's family sells braised vegetables. I think they earn more than a few tens of pennies a day! How should I say, there must be more than a hundred pennies, right? That's three taels of silver a month, which is more than that of our fishing boat. There’s more income!” Thinking of the vain money, Mrs. Li felt like twenty-five cats were hiding in her heart—a hundred claws scratching her heart!
Mrs. Zhang is not jealous of the income of the second family, but she can't just grab it openly, the old man can't pass that test. Last time she came back from her second child for a recipe for making stewed vegetables, that dead old man showed her face for several days!
Thinking of the old man's "eccentricity", Mrs. Zhang slammed the rough clay cup in her hand on the table, and said angrily, "What's the use of talking about this? Can you talk about the money? It's not you, you can get rid of it even if you clean it up." It’s not clean, and offends all the customers. Now, even if we rob Xiaocao’s stewed vegetables and sell them, no one wants to buy them!!”
Mrs. Li was scolded until her face turned blue and white, and she thought: Why did I offend the guest? It's not that you are blind to money and don't want to refund other people's money, and you still play tricks! Those rough men on the pier will take a detour when they see you...
She rolled her eyeballs, and immediately used the technique of embedding flowers and trees to divert her mother-in-law's anger: "Mother, this second brother is really good! There are so many incomes every day, but he doesn't think about your second elder at all. It was a good thing to look at him before." , who knew... tsk tsk, it's all hypocrisy!"
This Mrs. Li is really making trouble for no reason. There was no separation before, and all the money I earned was handed over. Now that everyone has gone through their own affairs, and all the money has been handed over to you, what does the family eat and drink
Mrs. Zhang snorted, and said angrily: "He is a good one? My family eats and drinks hot food, and doesn't care about the life and death of parents. What is better? He deserves to have a lame leg. This is all retribution!"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a good time in the house, making Yu Hai's family worthless. Unexpectedly, a dark figure under the window heard their words, and an evil thought rose in his heart...
The next day, the sky was cloudless. The snow that fell the day before yesterday had already turned into spring water and seeped into the spring soil. The Xiaocao sisters were walking home with baskets on their shoulders.
The basket was already empty, Xiaocao touched the bulging purse and hummed happily. Xiaolian also had a happy smile on her face, and she said to Xiaocao: "Sister, the shopkeeper of the pier restaurant, I want you to help prepare a table of dishes tomorrow morning, are you going to cook the same as last time?"
Xiaocao smiled and said: "This time, the guests are from the south. They don't like spicy food, but love sweets and vegetarian dishes. I plan to keep the pearl balls and shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and use new dishes for others. Fish, I I plan to make 'sweet and sour fish'. It's sour and sweet, and the southerners will definitely like it. Our family's small green vegetables and mustard greens are almost edible. For vegetarian dishes, we can fry 'mushroom green vegetables' and 'garlic mustard greens'. The staple food Well... Su Sanxian crystal buns are pretty good, delicate and delicious! In this season, you can eat small green vegetables and mustard greens, and guests will definitely like it!"
The two sisters were happily discussing this table of dishes, how much they could earn if they gave two taels of silver... Suddenly, a black shadow sprang out from the withered grass by the roadside, blocking the way of the two sisters.
Xiaocao's heart skipped a beat. Looking back and forth, there was no one on the road. Although there were two of them, they were only children less than nine years old. The other party covered his face, although he was not very tall, he was very strong, more than enough to deal with the thin and small girls.
"Take out the money! Otherwise, you will die!" The masked man tried his best to lower his voice, pretending to be ferocious, but still faintly childish.
Xiaocao heard it in her ears, and decided that the other party should not be very old, and she was in the period of changing her voice. In the purse in her arms, besides the more than two hundred cash sold this morning, there is also a deposit of two taels of silver given by the restaurant owner. She was really reluctant to ask her to hand it over honestly.
While delaying time, she thought of a way to get out: "Don't mess around! There are a lot of pedestrians passing by this road at this time, blocking and robbery is a felony, if you are caught, you will be sent to the yamen, and you will be beaten at the 50th. Fuck, you have to peel off your skin if you don't die!"
When the masked man heard this, his whole body trembled, he clenched the stick in his hand, pointed at the two sisters, and said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, hand over the money quickly!!"
Xiaocao rolled her eyes, squeezed Xiaolian's palm quietly, and suddenly turned behind him, made a surprised expression, and said loudly: "Uncle Zhao! Are you here to sell prey?"
Hearing that it was Zhao Liehu with superb skills, the stick in the masked man's hand fell to the ground in fright, he turned his head to look behind him, and made a movement of fleeing with his feet.
The moment he turned his head, Xiaocao pulled Xiaolian and ran in the opposite direction with all his strength.
The masked man saw the empty alley behind him, and found out that he had been fooled in annoyance. He cursed, "Stinky girl, I'll peel you alive if I catch you!", and ran after the two sisters.
Although the Xiaocao sisters took the lead, they were short-legged and weak, so they were caught up by the robbers not long after. Angrily, he stretched out his hand and pushed Xiaocao far away, and said viciously: "Dare to lie to me, if I don't beat you until you cry, I won't give you my surname..."
He was not so stupid as to declare his family name, and he could barely hold back the surname that was about to be uttered, and angrily slapped Xiaocao heavily.
Sooner or later, Xiao Lian stepped in front of her sister, and with a loud applause, Xiao Lian staggered a few steps and fell to the ground. Her pink face suddenly swelled up.
Xiaocao hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and blew her red and swollen face distressedly. She is the most defensive, for the sake of her younger siblings in her previous life, she did not know how many fights with those guys who bullied them, and "gloriously" won the title of tigress!
She clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth. Fighting hard with the opponent is the next strategy. Judging from her reaction to defrauding this person just now, she should know Zhao Orer, Uncle Zhao. In addition, she always felt that the other party gave her a sense of familiarity. people...
[Yawn... Don't guess, except for your lazy cousin who is lazy and sneaky, don't think about others!]The little golden cat lying on her shoulders arched its waist, and the laziness of Little Butianshi rang in her ears.
More than Yu Heizi? Xiaocao looked at the opponent's fat body, piercing voice, and aggressive appearance...it really was that guy! !
Little Butianshi's voice came out leisurely: [Little girl, do you want me to show off my godly power and teach this guy a lesson?]Although Xiaobutianshi recognizes Xiaocao as his master, most of the time he doesn't treat her with respect.
Xiaocao knew that Yu Ge was a fierce guy, but he was a coward in his heart. Thinking of the first day she woke up, he almost peed his pants with a few words. A plan gradually takes shape...
Yu Heizi eavesdropped on the conversation between his mother and grandma, and learned that Xiaocao earned more than one hundred Wen when he went to the pier every day. From childhood to adulthood, his stingy grandma, even though there were delicious food, always secretly fed him behind the back of the second room's younger siblings. He was never given more than two allowances, not enough to buy a piece of candy from the peddler.
To him, one hundred coins is no different from a small fortune. He thought, if he had a hundred cash, he could go to the town and buy two delicious sesame seed cakes, sandwich a few pieces of beef, and have a delicious meal. Buy another pearl flower to make Xiaoxiang, who loves to dress up in the village, happy...
The next morning, he found out that Xiaocao and Xiaolian were going to the pier today, and an idea formed in his mind.
