Chapter 160: The Showy Peacock
Hearing this voice, Sun Ruhua stopped what she was doing and asked, "What is he doing here?"
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head.
Cuizhu is going to open the door.
Sun Ruhua clapped her hands: "Don't go, I'll go take a look."
As he spoke, he went towards the door.
Xie Jiaojiao picked up her bowl, leaned against the door, drank porridge with a spoon and looked at the door. She wanted to see what this bastard was doing here.
Ever since their family was driven out of the village, except for the last time she saw Chen Hongju and Chen Meng'er in the town, she has never seen the eldest family again.
This suddenly appeared and I always felt that something was wrong.
Sun Ruhua opened the door and found that Xie Qian, whom she hadn't seen for several years, had grown up.
Xie Qian smiled and said, "Grandma, I passed by this village and wanted to come and see you."
Only then did Sun Ruhua notice that he was carrying a load of goods, as if he was doing business as a peddler?
Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Sun Ruhua looked at him with mixed feelings and was speechless for a moment.
Xie Qian took out a horse from his shoulder pole and gave it to Sun Ruhua a little embarrassedly: "This is a little gift from me to you, I hope you will accept it."
As he spoke, he handed it over with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face. The cloth in his hand was also coarse cloth. Perhaps seeing how well Sun Ruhua was dressed now, he felt a little embarrassed to show it off.
Sun Ruhua waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, I have everything, you can take it back!"
But Xie Qian insisted on giving it to her.
He picked up the load randomly and said, "Grandma, I have to go somewhere else, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll come to see you again if I pass by here in the future."
Before Sun Ruhua could say anything, she saw Xie Qian leaving with the load on his shoulder.
After walking away, he turned back and waved to her.
Sun Ruhua suppressed the sadness in her heart, closed the door and went back.
As soon as he saw Xie Jiaojiao, he quickly wiped his eyes and said, "I'm just passing by and came to see me."
Xie Jiaojiao had finished her bowl of rice. Jiang Weinan came downstairs and asked in confusion, "Who's here?"
"No one, no one."
Sun Ruhua took the cloth back to her room.
Xie Jiaojiao knew from all her might that she would go back to her room and cry.
But I always feel like something is wrong, but I just can't figure it out.
Anyway, Xie Qian was not very old at that time, maybe he is sensible now, but if it were her, she would definitely still dislike Xie Zhili's family.
But Sun Ruhua is different. He is her grandson after all. Not only is his bone broken, but his tendons are also damaged!
Jiang Weinan saw that she was lost in thought and waved his hand in front of her: "What's wrong?"
Xie Jiaojiao put down her bowl and chopsticks: "Nothing, I'll go next door to take a look. After you finish your meal, ask Lai Fu to harness the carriage. We'll go to town later."
"Not busy today?"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled: "I'm busy with other things today."
Jiang Weinan immediately picked up the bowl and started to wolf down the food.
When Xie Jiaojiao went over, everyone was busy, and now the entire dam was covered with jars of soy sauce.
Chunxiang and several other girls were responsible for steaming and coating the soybeans with flour, and waiting for them to ferment naturally.
Chen Along and his colleagues were responsible for carrying and mixing the crops, while Tian Hu and Wang Long were responsible for collecting soybeans everywhere.
All dividends are in order.
Xie Jiaojiao scooped some of the recently made soy sauce with a slotted spoon into the bowl, then tasted it herself, nodded slightly, and thought it was okay.
Chunxiang and the others looked at Xie Jiaojiao, and only felt relieved when she nodded.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Everyone did a great job."
Then he took out a few money bags from his pocket and said to Chunxiang, "Go and call everyone over."
When Chunxiang saw it, she hurried over.
Soon, a row of people stood in front of Xie Jiaojiao. Xie Jiaojiao directly put the money bags into their hands one by one and said, "This is your wages for a month's hard work. In addition, today and tomorrow, everyone will have two days off. You can go home to see your family. If you don't want to go back, you can stay here, but you don't have to do any work. Just have a good rest for two days."
Everyone was holding their money bags but was too embarrassed to open them. However, when they heard that they could rest for two days, they became obviously more excited. They had money to earn and could rest at the same time. Who wouldn’t be excited?
Several people knelt down in front of Xie Jiaojiao, and Xie Jiaojiao hurriedly helped them up, saying helplessly, "I've told you before, we don't like kneeling just because we don't come!"
Several people stood up again hurriedly.
"Okay, you can arrange the rest of the time by yourselves."
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she went back to the yard.
Jiang Weinan had also finished packing. Xie Jiaojiao saw that he was wearing a blue robe with a belt of the same color around his waist, which made him look very slim.
Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but mutter a few words: Jiang Weinan used to spend his days in debauchery, eating, drinking and having fun, but he managed to maintain a good figure.
Jiang Weinan walked up to Xie Jiaojiao and opened the door: "How do you think I look like?"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It's pretty good, like..."
Jiang Weinan immediately looked at Xie Jiaojiao, his eyes lit up: "What does it look like?"
Xie Jiaojiao stretched out her hand, supported her head with her hand as if thinking, turned her head and stared at Jiang Weinan and said with a smile: "Like a showy peacock!"
After saying that, he turned around and went out to get in the carriage.
Cuizhu and Hanlu stood aside and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Jiang Weinan pouted and pointed at Cuizhu and Hanlu: "Your young lady just doesn't know how to appreciate!"
After saying that, he pointed at the two of them and said, "If any of you dare to spread what I just said, I will beat up women."
The two of them hurriedly said they didn't dare.
Jiang Weinan then looked at the clothes he was wearing.
"Really?"
Cuizhu couldn't help but cover her mouth: "Master, the young mistress is teasing you!"
Xie Jiaojiao's voice rang out over there: "Jiang Weinan, why don't you hurry up?"
Jiang Weinan ran over immediately.
In the carriage, Jiang Weinan opened a fan and asked Xie Jiaojiao, "What are we going to do in town today?"
Xie Jiaojiao opened the curtain of the car: "Let's go buy some things. By the way, I'll talk to Manager Wang."
It's okay to buy things, find Manager Wang...
"What's there to talk about with that old guy? Why don't you just ask him to come to your house to find you? It's so hot outside!"
Xie Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him, opened her mouth, and then closed it again: "Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."
Jiang Weinan was so blocked that he was speechless.
When they arrived in the town, Xie Jiaojiao gave Lai Fu twenty taels of silver and asked him to help buy an ox cart.
She had been thinking about buying an ox cart for a long time, but before, there were only her and Sun Ruhua at home, and they were too busy with the housework in the fields to have the time to cut grass for the oxen all day long, so this matter was not put on the agenda. But now there are more people in the family, and she needs an ox cart to do business, so she decided to buy it. The sooner she buys, the sooner she can enjoy it!
As soon as Lai Fu left, Xie Jiaojiao went to Qingfeng Tower.
Shopkeeper Chen was serving customers, but when he saw them coming, he hurried over.
"Master, Madam."
