Cannon fodder also wants to live (through the book)

24 Chapter 24 Three in one

The person screaming and begging in the yard was Yunhe. There was a striking red mark on her face from the forehead to the back of the ear, which was faintly bloodshot, and it was obvious at a glance that it was a whip.

In the courtyard full of bricks and wood, there was barely a small space left. At this time, Qin Shuxian's hairpins were messy, and he squatted on the ground, burying his head in the arms of Yunhe who was also sitting on the ground.

Yun He stared angrily with a pair of red eyes, and looked at Chu Feifei who was holding a whip in her hand.But because of my own status, I dare not talk nonsense...

Yun He originally planned to speak, but seeing the whip in Chu Feifei's hand being clicked, Yun He couldn't help but flinch, turned to look at Zhou Bingyan, and cried: "Young Master, the life of a servant is cheap, and I'm so sorry!" She has rough skin and thick flesh, so it’s enough to be whipped by the young lady for no reason. But the girl is your cousin, and the lady loves her the most on weekdays. Even if she learns to sew, she will be pricked by a needle. Madam beat me up indiscriminately..."

Yun He couldn't continue, because at this time Qin Shuxian's suppressed crying suddenly increased, as if he couldn't help crying anymore.

If the beauty suppressed her crying and trembled, it would be pitiful.But such uncontrollable wailing made people feel that Chu Feifei was too vicious.

Chu Feifei's back was facing the door, Zhang Caixuan could only see her straight back, she was not afraid of the accusation in Yunhe's words.

In the huge courtyard, there were only the cries of the master and the servant and the voices of Yunhe and accusations. The entourage who invited Zhang Caixuan shrank to a corner after she entered the door, reducing her sense of existence, as quiet as a chicken.

Zhang Caixuan looked at Qin Sulin, glanced at him secretly, and then let go of her raised heart.The entourage just now couldn't speak clearly, she really thought that Chu Feifei's whip fell on him.

If Qin Surin really didn't get beaten very much, it would be for nothing, and at most he would pay for some medicine.

Seeing her coming in, the people in the yard didn't turn their eyes over, but Qin Sulin gave her a comforting smile.

There was crying and crying, but Chu Feifei was a little impatient here. She looked at Zhou Bingyan, who had an ugly complexion, and smiled, "What? You also think I'm throwing the whip for no reason?"

Zhou Bingyan sighed, "Feifei, you are too hasty and easy to suffer."

There is no blame, the implication is that Chu Feifei made a mistake by doing it.

Chu Feifei snorted softly, but the corners of her mouth curled up, "If anyone makes me unhappy, I will make her unhappy. I'm not the kind of person who is willing to suffer secretly."

The tone is full of pride.

Qin Shuxian finally raised his head, with tears all over his face, and said sadly: "Cousin, I thought we had some kind of brother and sister relationship, but I didn't expect you to put me aside when you have a sister-in-law, you forgot us Have you ever played around together? Back then you said you would marry me when you grow up."

Chu Feifei sneered, "You should take it seriously when children play tricks, it seems that my cousin really hasn't grown up yet."

Qin Shuxian's tears fell even more fiercely, and she lowered her head.

I was a little disappointed in my heart, Zhou Bingyan treated her well on weekdays, but he never thought that he would not even say a word to help her in front of Chu Feifei.

Turning to Qin Surin, he cried, "Brother..."

The tone seems to have infinite grievances.

Qin Sulin said solemnly: "I don't know what's going on between you two, but it's a fact that Mrs. Zhou came to my house and whipped my sister. If you are any more aggressive, I will report to the police."

Zhou Bingyan frowned, and said, "Not at all."

Chu Feifei snorted slightly, turned her eyes away, and didn't even look at Qin Surin.

She dared to wave a whip at Qin Surin's house, so she didn't take him seriously.

Qin Sulin's expression was as serious as his tone, it was not difficult to see that he was serious, even Zhang Caixuan was not sure if he really planned to report to the government.

"Shu Xian doesn't come back often. I didn't expect that as soon as she came back now, Mrs. Zhou would chase her to my house and beat her up. It made me doubt Shu Xian's life in Zhou Mansion..."

The unfinished meaning is obvious.I wonder if Qin Shuxian was often beaten in the Zhou Mansion.

Ignoring their expressions, Qin Surin continued: "Although I am just a rough person now, I believe that the Liao clan is willing to uphold justice for her."

Qin Shuxian's eyes lit up on the ground.

Zhou Bingyan's face became more serious, Chu Feifei even glanced at him, but still looked away disapprovingly.

Qin Shuxian supported the hairpin on his head, his voice choked up, "I'm going to find my grandmother to make the decision."

While talking, Yunhe helped me to get up, and said: "I know that my aunt treats me well, but now the Zhou mansion is no longer in the hands of my aunt, and I don't want to be annoying anymore. My grandmother will never be short of a bowl of food for me." food."

Yunhe supported her to go out, Zhou Bingyan stepped forward to stop her, "Shu Xian, Feifei is impatient, she didn't mean it, I apologize to you on her behalf."

Qin Shuxian didn't look at him, his face was indifferent, and his heart was ashamed, "What's the use of my cousin's apology? None of us can guarantee that there will be no next time. Today, my cousin slaps a whip on Yun He's face. In the future, this whip It's hard to guarantee that it won't hit my face. I'm not ashamed to say it, my marriage has not yet been settled, if I ruin my face, wouldn't it be like this for the rest of my life."

The last sentence made Zhou Bingyan's face change slightly.

Zhang Caixuan admired in her heart, look at the art of speaking, which progressed layer by layer, and finally added a dose of strong medicine.

How important is the face of a girl's family, especially in big families, although they pay attention to women's conduct, but no one is willing to let the mistress of the family be disfigured.If it was really like what Qin Shuxian said, Chu Feifei would ruin a life with a whip, which is vicious enough.

Chu Feifei snorted coldly.

Qin Shuxian didn't seem to realize it, and said to himself: "Although Yunhe is a maidservant, she has served me for many years. We are like sisters. I have already helped her find a husband's house. Now it seems that I am afraid I can only do it myself." The comb has been with me for the rest of my life..."

Her voice became lower and lower, until she almost choked up.

Zhou Bingyan wanted to comfort him, but when he saw the wound on Yun He's face, he felt that he was wronged, but he saw the disapproval on Chu Feifei's face from the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt that she was too much, and it was fine to be arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but as a woman, She was so ruthless, and she didn't see a trace of remorse.

Just now Qin Shuxian said that he wanted to ask the Liao clan to make the decision, but he didn't want to wrong Chu Feifei to apologize, he just apologized on her behalf.

"Beifei, apologize to Shu Xian."

Qin Shuxian ignored it and continued walking towards the door.

Chu Feifei was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes turned red instantly, "What did you say?"

Seeing her red eyes, Zhou Bingyan felt uncomfortable, but Chu Feifei really went too far this time, hardened her heart: "You accidentally hurt Shu Xian's maid, almost disfigured, and an apology is due."

"Why?" After Chu Feifei came to her senses, she burst into flames. The bright red skirt swirled in a wonderful arc, and she stretched out her hand to support the two masters and servants who had already walked to the door. Brother, I am actually full of affection for you, and forced me to back down again and again by virtue of my cousin's affection, I will bear it for your sake."

Speaking of this, she choked up, but stubbornly turned away, "Even you think I whipped someone for no reason today?"

Zhou Bingyan was silent.

As the time of his silence grew longer, Chu Feifei's tears fell more fiercely, "Today is my birthday, she deliberately quarreled with you, and then ran out to lure you to look for her. You are really desperate to find here as she wished."

Zhou Bingyan frowned, "Shu Xian is not that kind of person."

Seeing that they were about to go out, Chu Feifei sarcastically said, "What kind of people are they?"

"If she didn't do it on purpose, how did you know that she came to the remote Qingshan Village?"

"Don't say anything about her coming to see her elder brother. How many times has she come here over the years? I'm afraid she has already forgotten her brother when she moved into the Zhou Mansion. Even if she doesn't send many people to come. My brother is so heartless, you still think Is she affectionate and righteous, and your brother and sister are deeply affectionate?"

Chu Feifei wiped her tears casually, "Anyway, I don't believe it."

Zhou Bingyan found this place today, and it was indeed a coincidence that he heard Qin Shuxian's destination before chasing him.

Qin Shuxian at the door turned around when he stepped out of the gate, and said righteously: "No matter what my cousin said, it is true that you whipped my maid for no reason, and now you still want to label me as an ulterior motive. It's true that I'm an orphan, but it's not something you can bully at will."

Chu Feifei became more and more angry, and her face was flushed with anger. Seeing Zhang Caixuan standing beside Qin Sulin, she sneered and said, "I'm afraid you have forgotten how your sister-in-law got here. I didn't believe it at first, how can I tell you?" My younger sister has no reason to meddle in my elder brother's marriage, so it's good for you to assign your cousin's maid who is about to take over the house to your elder brother, which is quite calculating! It's just that you are too jealous and stretch your hands too far. You send her away before this rightful lord makes a move."

Zhang Caixuan's face turned cold, she knew that these people would get involved in her arguing, especially now in front of Qin Surin, if she hadn't told Qin Surin about the reason for this marriage , I'm afraid no matter how generous a man is, there will be a gap in his heart.

Qin Surin took a step forward, and said solemnly: "Mrs. Zhou, be careful, your words will damage the reputation of my fiancée."

Zhang Caixuan's heart warmed up, and it felt good to be protected by someone.

Chu Feifei's words made Zhou Bingyan's eyebrows frowned even tighter, "Feifei, be careful, don't get involved with irrelevant people."

Chu Feifei was not convinced, and cast a disdainful glance at Zhang Caixuan, as if she felt that it was not worth arguing with Zhou Bingyan for such a person, so she finally quieted down.

She didn't speak, but Qin Shuxian didn't want to let it go, "My cousin is full of slander, as expected I should have moved away wisely, my elder brother has a bad character, even if it's against the etiquette for me to help worry about the marriage as a younger sister, each family's situation It makes sense to be different. I think you are the one who stretched your hand too far and provoked the relationship between our brother and sister."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Bingyan with red eyes, "Cousin, I knew a long time ago that no matter how good the brother-sister relationship is, as long as they get married, there will be estrangement. I should leave Zhou's mansion when you get married, so that in the future you When I think of me again, I am still the well-behaved person I was when I was a child, instead of being smeared by someone with a heart and becoming a villain with ulterior motives."

Anyone with a heart knows that it is Chu Feifei without saying anything.

Zhang Caixuan looked at the tense atmosphere in the yard, and the faces of the few people were not good-looking, but there must be no result in the end of their quarrel, so they stayed here, seeing that it was getting late, and they might not be able to enter the city after a while Is it okay to still live here?

Hearing this, Zhou Bingyan's eyes were full of pity. Qin Shuxian has been well-behaved since he was a child, and he was also timid. Before Chu Feifei came in, no one in the Zhou mansion dared to make her feel wronged.

But today's matter, he is not a fool. Although what Chu Feifei said in anger is somewhat biased, it is not all nonsense.In any case, go back and check to find out.

Zhou Bingyan thought about it, and when he was about to speak, Chu Feifei didn't see him for a long time, threw the whip in his hand in front of him, and said angrily: "You go live with your cousin, don't come to me."

The last few words had already brought a crying sound, Zhou Bingyan felt anxious, and stretched out his hand to grab it, but only the cold cloth slipped through his hand.

Chu Feifei squeezed Qin Shuxian away, and quickly ran away covering her face.

Chu Feifei was stubborn, and Zhou Bingyan had never seen her cry.Seeing this, he became even more flustered, and hurriedly chased after him, as if he hadn't seen the master and servant at the door.

They ran away, and the entourage hurriedly chased them out. Qin Shuxian stood blankly at the door, tears falling down, and Zhou Bingyan didn't even give her a look just now.

The courtyard was quiet again, Qin Sulin looked at Qin Shuxian who was crying at the door, and said seriously: "Shu Xian, you are a girl's family, with Mrs. Zhou and members of the Liao clan here, what kind of husband do you want?" Why do you have to stare at Zhou Bingyan.

The point was obvious, but it also showed that Qin Surin knew what she was thinking.

Qin Shuxian was a little embarrassed, especially when Zhou Bingyan defended her in front of Chu Feifei just now, but he defended his wife more.The relationship between her and Zhou Bingyan for so many years is not as good as their short one-year relationship.

Although it was embarrassing, there were no outsiders present. Besides, being ashamed in front of Qin Surin made Qin Shuxian feel that she was getting closer to this elder brother. "Brother, I want to stay for a few days, is that okay?"

Qin Sulin's expression remained unchanged, and he resolutely refused, "No, I'm a rough person, I can't take care of you well, and we haven't lived together for many years, I'm afraid you won't get used to it. Besides, although we are brothers and sisters, there are no elders in our family. , I'm afraid it will damage your boudoir reputation."

Qin Shuxian stood still at the door, "But I don't want to go back."

Feeling a little coquettish.

Qin Sulin ignored it.

Seeing that Qin Surin didn't care about it, she obviously had no room for negotiation. She looked at Zhang Caixuan and asked, "Caixuan, do you have a spare house in your family?"

Zhang Caixuan still sighed in her heart, there really is no one else in the eyes of the hero and heroine, although Qin Shuxian planned to prevent Zhou Bingyan from spending Chu Feifei's birthday with her today.But Chu Feifei is not without fault, the shocking wound on Yun He's face is still there.

Unexpectedly, I heard Qin Shuxian's question, and said: "My house is a mess, Miss Qin is delicate, so I dare not keep you here."

Qin Shuxian pursed her lips, "I'll pay the money."

Zhang Caixuan was a little moved, but still said: "Why should Miss Qin live here, it's not easy to buy meat here. If you really want to live outside, go to the capital to find a restaurant, where you can eat, drink and watch a show. How nice it is."

Qin Shuxian looked at Zhang Caixuan's courtyard wall opposite, "One tael a day."

Zhang Caixuan: "If you don't want to live in the capital city, you can live in Huanxi Town. The surrounding scenery is beautiful. Miss Qin can see more."

Qin Shuxian looked at the back mountain and said, "Three liang of silver a day."

Zhang Caixuan: "..."

"There is no proper furniture in my house, the tea set is not good, and the meals are simple."

Qin Shuxian looked slightly relaxed, "Don't worry about it."

Zhang Caixuan brought their master and servant into the door, and when she opened the door, she said, "I can't keep a man in my house. If the coachman wants to stay, I have to trouble Miss Qin to find another place."

Yun He was a little dissatisfied, and Qin Shuxian raised his hand to stop him when he wanted to speak.

Although Yun He was not reconciled, she didn't dare to say more.

Zhang Caixuan saw it, and she understood, it seems that those servants who were "ignorant" in front of the master, in fact, their "ignorance" was acquiesced by the master, right?You can tell by looking at Yunhe, Qin Shuxian made a move, and she held back no matter how dissatisfied she was.

Zhang Caixuan took them to the rightmost room of the new house, and said: "There is only one bed, and there is nothing like a quilt, but even if there is one, Miss Qin probably won't be used to it."

Regardless of Qin Shuxian's so much, following Zhang Caixuan into the room, the room is bright, but this is the only advantage. Although the bed is new, it is the simplest kind of wooden bed. tables and chairs, and nothing else.

Compared with the exquisite furnishings and veils of the Zhou Mansion, as well as the fur on the ground, it is the difference between heaven and earth.

Seeing this, Yunhe frowned, "Girl, why do you live here? Let's go back, living in such a place has wronged you, if Madam knew about it, she wouldn't agree."

Qin Shuxian looked around and said, "You and the coachman go back and pack up my things."

Yun He worried, "Are you really living there?"

Qin Shuxian's eyes were still a little red, and her tone was calm, "Hurry up, it's getting late, if it's too late, let the woman in the garden help clean it up."

If the woman in the garden helps, there will be an uproar.Yunhe's eyes lit up, and her face relaxed a little, "Your servant obeys the girl's orders."

Yun He left, leaving only Zhang Caixuan and Qin Shuxian in the family.

Seeing her standing in a daze in the yard, Zhang Caixuan got up and went to the backyard to continue digging, planning to grow some grain like the villagers in the beginning of spring.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhang Caixuan felt her back was sore. She put down her hoe and supported her waist to rest. When she looked up, she saw Qin Shuxian standing in front of the chicken pen and looking at the little yellow chicken inside.

Seeing her looking up, Qin Shuxian asked casually, "Are you blaming me?"

Zhang Caixuan didn't answer.

In fact, she doesn't complain. If Qin Shuxian didn't intervene, she would have to face many twists and turns if she wanted to redeem herself.Although there is one more marriage now, she left the Zhou Mansion without any effort, and... this marriage is also good in her opinion.

If he really wanted to complain, he probably only blamed her fate for coming here out of nowhere.However, even if it was this, she might have taken advantage of it, and it was possible to fall and die like that.

Zhang Caixuan paused, and then said: "People always have to look forward, if they are always entangled in the past, life is not going well."

Qin Shuxian was noncommittal.

She doesn't speak, and Zhang Caixuan will not take the initiative to find her.You must know that in Qin Shuxian's eyes, she is just a slave.Slaves, you should bow your knees, she is not slavish, and she can't learn to flatter, it's better to talk less.

Just work hard without talking, Zhang Caixuan digs the ground carefully, and she understands that Qin Shuxian might not be used to sitting on her simple table and chairs, and there is no one else in the house, probably because of this, she ran to Come see her in the backyard.

"You..." Qin Shuxian frowned slightly, as if he had something difficult to say.

Zhang Caixuan looked at her suspiciously, but didn't ask any further questions. If she really asked something that she couldn't answer, should she answer it or not?

However, if someone like Qin Shuxian wants to ask, even if others don't answer, she can still ask. "Are you treating your cousin..."

Zhang Caixuan smiled, "Miss Qin is joking, I have a fiancé now."

Of course Qin Shuxian knew this, but he still seemed a little puzzled, and his eyebrows were not loosened.

Zhang Caixuan didn't ask, if it wasn't for three taels of silver a day, she wouldn't let Qin Shuxian live in.

Three taels of silver a day, where can I go to find such a fool?

Moreover, with Qin Shuxian's identity and wealth, the money is secure, and he will never renege on his debt.

Thinking of this, Zhang Caixuan became more and more in a good mood, and asked: "Miss Qin, are you hungry? Let me tell you first, the food in my family is rough, you may not be used to it."

If you don’t want to eat, just say you’re not hungry.Zhang Caixuan feels that she is very understanding.

Qin Shuxian said casually, "Yes."

This probably understood what she meant.

Zhang Caixuan went to the kitchen. She beat two eggs and made soup with green vegetables. She fried another plate of meat and took it to the main room. Qin Shuxian was already standing in the room. When she heard the voice, she turned her head and saw the cup in her hand. Dishes, said: "Not bad."

Zhang Caixuan didn't say much, just said: "Miss Qin, let's try it."

The steamed buns were steamed by her in the morning, with a small amount of whole grains added to them.

Qin Shuxian was in a bad mood. She thought she had no appetite. When the food was placed in front of her, the egg smelled delicious, and she immediately felt a little hungry. She picked up a piece of egg with chopsticks and it tasted good. Her eyebrows immediately relaxed.

Zhang Caixuan saw it, turned around and went to the kitchen, she left some out, and planned to eat something casually.

When putting away the plate, the steamed bun barely moved, the one on the table only took two bites, Zhang Caixuan's face remained unchanged, she took it away and left.

It was getting late, but there was still no carriage coming, Qin Shuxian's complexion was not good, Zhang Caixuan pretended not to see it.

Qin Shuxian stood in the yard and asked, "How can you eat that steamed bun so rough?"

Half a day later, she seemed to be in a better mood, but her eyes were still a little red. Zhang Caixuan saw it from the corner of her eye, and she didn't know if she was really sad, or if she was just acting in front of Zhou Bingyan without showing her face, and said casually: "I This one is already very good, other people’s ones are not as good as this one, they are all coarse grains, and they cut their throats.”

Qin Shuxian sighed, "Farm life is really hard."

Zhang Caixuan smiled and did not answer.

People live in this world, few people get what they want, even Qin Shuxian, there are things that he can't ask for.Even the heroine Chu Feifei is worried about the relationship between Zhou Bingyan and Qin Shuxian?

The sky gradually darkened, but in the distance, dogs barked one after another, and people from outside the village were heard.

Qin Shuxian visibly became nervous. She walked out of the yard and looked in the direction of the village. Zhang Caixuan stood not far behind her, and saw more than one carriage coming from a distance. Although it was getting late, she could see the bright red The carriage is coming here from afar.The corner of Qin Shuxian's mouth curled slightly, but he quickly restrained himself, turned around and entered the courtyard, and directly entered the main room.

Zhang Caixuan realized later that if it was just to help transport Qin Shuxian's things, it should be the kind of green-covered carriage that he bought, such a bright red one, it seems that it is used by noble ladies, and the person who came... should be Zhou ma'am?

Not long after Zhang Caixuan entered, there was a knock on the courtyard door. She went to open the door, and saw Mrs. Zhou outside the door with an anxious look on her face, and a group of servants behind her. Seeing it was her, she asked eagerly, "Where is Cousin?"

Zhang Caixuan took a step back, "Mrs. Zhou, Miss Qin is in the main room."

Mrs. Zhou was impatient to hear her finish, and went straight past her, entered the door, and went straight to the room with candles.

You're really welcome!

Soon, Mrs. Zhou's distraught voice came from the room, "You still don't want to go home. Sure enough, you have grown up and your wings are hardened. If you want to live here, you want to die of me, don't you?"

Easy-going came the woman's cries and comforting voices.

None of the people brought by Mrs. Zhou went in. They all stood in the yard or outside the yard and waited honestly. Of course, Zhang Caixuan didn't have any, listening to Qin Shuxian's aggrieved crying mixed with voices, and Mrs. Zhou's scolding with The voice of pity.

Once again, I am glad that I left the Zhou Mansion.

It's impossible to live here. The cousin girl raised by the stately Zhou family, the granddaughter of the Liao family, would definitely not live in such a rough farmyard.

When it was dark, Mrs. Zhou led Qin Shuxian out of Zhang Caixuan's small courtyard, Yun He followed closely, seeing Qin Shuxian got into the carriage, lowered her head to give Yun He some instructions, and saw Yun He trotting When she came back, she stuffed Zhang Caixuan with a purse and said in a low voice, "Young lady told me to give it to you."

After turning around and taking two steps, he turned around and said, "Let's forget what should be forgotten."

Don't look back after speaking.

Zhang Caixuan held her purse, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

The two purses contained a total of 20 taels of silver. Seriously speaking, Qin Shuxian was really generous.Mrs. Zhou came here at this hour today, so it can be seen that she hurts Qin Shuxian to the bone, but after she goes back, Mrs. Zhou will probably be even more dissatisfied with Chu Feifei.She is a mother-in-law, so she can make things difficult for Chu Feifei blatantly...

Zhang Caixuan shook her head, throwing away these messy thoughts, she was so far away from the Zhou Mansion, if Qin Shuxian hadn't come here on a whim today, she might never see everyone in the Zhou Mansion again for the rest of her life.

20 taels, not old or young.

Zhang Caixuan was in a good mood. She pulled out a brick at the head of her bed. It turned out that it was empty. She took out a small box with a lock on it. After opening the lock with the key, she saw a few ingots inside. Zhang Caixuan put the bank notes in and planned to go to the town to exchange them for silver when she was free.

The days calmed down, and the weather became colder and colder. One day Zhang Caixuan woke up and opened the window, and saw that the outside was silver and white, and it was snowing.

It is already the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year is coming soon.

Every household is preparing new year's goods, and Zhang Caixuan is no exception. Qin Sulin's house on the opposite side was finally completed a few days ago. She simply asked those people to help her turn over the rest of the land, mainly after the New Year's Eve. I'm afraid I won't be able to hire people even if I pay wages.

She came back for a few months and learned some customs and habits.For example, people in the village feel that they can do part-time jobs to earn some money to subsidize the family during the slack season, but they must farm the land during the busy season. Farmers regard the land at home as more important than their lives.

However, those lands can be regarded as lifelines, and only if they are well served, the family will not go hungry.

Even if it's just coarse grains.

Fortunately, the search was over yesterday, and Zhang Caixuan was not in a hurry when she saw the silver outside, thinking whether to move to the kang house to sleep now, at least it would not be cold at night, anyway, she was not short of firewood.

Qin Surin hadn't moved here yet, so he went to calculate the date, which was the third day of the first lunar month.

After the new year, Zhang Caixuan really has a neighbor, and this is a trustworthy neighbor.

There was a knock on the yard door, and Xiaobai thumped and ran to the door before the yard door was knocked.Seeing this, Zhang Caixuan didn't understand anything, it must be Qin Sulin outside.

Today, Qin Sulin was dressed in almost new muslin clothes. Seeing Zhang Caixuan open the door, she smiled and said, "Caixuan, I plan to go to town today to buy some new year's goods."

In today's weather, only people with ox carts or horse carts will go.

Zhang Caixuan also simply said, "Let's go."

She put on a jacket, and it was really cold outside. After climbing into the carriage, Qin Surin closed the curtain and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you're not used to the cold, right?"

Zhang Caixuan shook her head, "I'm just afraid of the cold."

Qin Sulin smiled, "The old man in the village said that the more snow falls now, the better the harvest next year."

The old man has lived a long time, and what he said still makes sense.

However, next year next year...

The carriage headed towards the village unhurriedly. As soon as it crossed the village and just left the entrance of the village, it saw a woman wrapped in thick clothes, bloated all over her body, walking with difficulty step by step.

Qin Sulin's carriage stopped, "Auntie, where are you going?"

Not long after Zhang Caixuan returned to the village, she knew many women in the village because of the construction of the house. She was even more familiar with the one in front of her. It was the woman who let her hide when the He family came to Zhang's house to make trouble, Hu Niuniang.

Hu Niu's maiden name is Li, and she is from the same village as Zhang Caixuan's aunt.After marrying into Zhang's family, she gave birth to a son and a daughter. She is a pungent person on weekdays, and few people can bully her.

After a few words, the curtain was lifted, a gust of cold wind poured in, and Niu Niu Hu crawled in, "Caixuan, thank you for meeting you, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to walk, the snow is too heavy."

Zhang Caixuan smiled, she was still very helpful when she didn't embarrass herself, Qin Sulin was probably the same as her, "Auntie, what are you doing out in this weather?"

"Huniu's grandma was probably very cold last night, so I'll go buy medicine for her." After speaking, he sighed and complained, "Tell me, the weather must be as thick as the quilt can cover, right? A few days ago, I deliberately dug out the dowry quilt to give Hu Niu her milk, but she was afraid that the quilt would be buried, so she had to put it away. When I went to call her today, her hands and feet were cold, and it was almost the New Year. Now, isn't she adding to the trouble?"

Zhang Caixuan listened with a smile. Although she was full of complaints, she was willing to go out to the town in this weather, which showed that she was not as disgusted with her mother-in-law as she said.

He casually asked, "Where's uncle?"

Hu Niuniang waved her hand, "I'm milling wheat, steam some steamed buns for Chinese New Year."

There was one more person in the carriage, but it felt much more lively. After Hu Niuniang finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Caixuan's face and sighed, "Caixuan looks good, it's a pity to go back to the village, but Mr. Qin is a nice person and looks good. If you are willing to work, you are a good match."

Zhang Caixuan put on a shy look, an unmarried girl is always a bit shy when people talk about her marriage.She lowered her head, although it was cold outside, her heart was warm, and she seemed really shy.

Seeing her red ears, Hu Niuniang said: "You can see your life in the next year. Without the burden of your family, your life will definitely get better and better in the future."

Zhang Caixuan thanked with a smile, "Thank you for your good words."

When they arrived in the town, Hu Niuniang separated from them and went directly to the pharmacy.

Because of the snow, the town today is not as lively as it used to be, but there is everything that should be there, so there is no delay.

Zhang Caixuan went to the bank first, took out the bank notes and exchanged four ingots, and came out with Qin Sulin after collecting them, and said in a low voice: "Miss Qin gave this money, I will share half of it with you?"

Qin Sulin lowered his voice, "I don't want it, I'll give it to you."

Zhang Caixuan suddenly felt that she seemed a bit picky, others were willing to give her all, but she was only willing to give half of it.

Probably seeing her thoughts, Qin Surin continued: "Anyway, sooner or later, even people and money are mine."

Zhang Caixuan: "..." Is this a love story?

It's just a bit earthy.

Qin Surin took her to the place where New Year's goods were sold, and said in a low voice, "Caixuan, I really want to marry you right now."

"You feel very deserted when you celebrate the New Year alone. I want to spend the New Year with you."

Zhang Caixuan was shocked. She had celebrated the New Year by herself for many years, and she was indeed a little deserted.

However, Qin Surin is only alone this year, and Uncle Qing was there last year.

,all in

However, they will be able to accompany each other until next year. After thinking about it, they suggested, "Let's have dinner earlier, shall we celebrate the New Year together?"

Qin Surin's eyes lit up, "Okay."

If Qin Surin stayed at her house after dark, it would definitely be wrong to be known, but it doesn't matter during the day, most people who have engaged to go to the fiancée's house to help with work.

Along the way, Zhang Caixuan bought melon seed snacks. These things are not expensive, but for the villagers, not being full is a waste of money, and most people are reluctant to buy too much.She also bought couplets and white rice and noodles. Of course, she also bought some coarse grains. Although she can make herself eat fine grains, she lives in Qingshan Village, so she can't be unprepared, and eating coarse grains is good for her health.

When we arrived at the meat stall, there was still a lot of meat left today, Zhang Caixuan was especially generous with the food, and Qin Surin would help with it, so he simply bought [-] catties of meat and spare ribs.

Although Qin Surin was a little puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions.

You must know that although the meat in this weather will not spoil when you buy it back, it will not taste so good after a long time.

Taking the meat into the carriage, Zhang Caixuan waited all the way for Qin Sulin to take the initiative to ask. Seeing that he didn't respond, she couldn't help asking: "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to eat it when I buy it back?"

"You won't." His voice was firm.

Zhang Caixuan wondered, "How do you know I can't?"

Qin Surin piled up the things in the carriage, and said, "I saw it, I found that you never waste food."

Observed quite carefully.

Zhang Caixuan was in a good mood, and said: "Go and buy some salt, put it on the meat, and hang it in a ventilated place, it can be stored for a few months."

Qin Surin was a little surprised, "Really?"

Zhang Caixuan raised her head, "Of course, you have to learn to trust me."

Seeing her appearance, Qin Surin raised the corners of his mouth, "Okay, I believe you."

Zhang Caixuan was very interested, and said in a low voice: "The people in the village don't know this because they are reluctant to part with salt on weekdays."

The price of salt has always been high. When Zhang Caixuan first arrived at Zhang's house, she discovered that the taste of their dishes was very bland.

Zhang Caixuan bought three cans of salt, fifty yuan a can, which is really not cheap.From the corner of the eye, I saw a yellow blocky object on the side, and I could see that it was still a little muddy inside. I was a little puzzled, "What is this?"

The guys are very happy. Such weather has not affected their business at all. Unexpectedly, a big customer came and bought three cans of salt at once. You must know that many people buy salt and share one can between two people. You can also take it back. I have been eating for a long time.Hearing Zhang Caixuan's question at this moment, she said with a smile on her face: "This is sugar crystal, very sweet, but delicious, but the price is expensive, it costs [-] yuan a can."

Zhang Caixuan was secretly dumbfounded, it's not so expensive.

Let's put it this way, she hired someone to cut weeds and build a house for ten cents a day, not including the food, which is already a very generous price. This jar of candy would take a strong man for eight days without eating or drinking to buy it.

The man added, "You can split in half."

Zhang Caixuan understood that it would be much better if they were separated, otherwise they might not be able to sell.

Qin Surin said: "Take a can."

The guy agreed with joy.

The two of them returned home full of rewards. Thinking that they might meet Hu Niuniang again on the way back, Zhang Caixuan stuffed the salt and sugar inside, and covered the outside with couplets and fine cloth bought. If you don’t open it, you can’t see the inside of something.

Not long after walking, I met Hu Niuniang, she got into the carriage and saw a lot of things in the corner, she was not surprised, she said with a smile: "You young people are loose hands, you need to save some money... "

Before I finished speaking, I remembered something, and said a little embarrassedly: "I am talking too much, how can you be short of money."

Zhang Caixuan was surprised, "Why would Auntie think so?"

Hu Niuniang said with a smile: "Although you spent a lot of money building the house, it was your uncle who bought your land. You haven't spent all the money you've saved over the years, have you?"

Zhang Caixuan always thought that she was low-key enough, but she didn't expect the villagers to think so.

Hu Niuniang can indeed replace the thoughts of most villagers. She chatted with the women in the village all day, and she said it so casually, which shows that Zhang Caixuan is recognized as wealthy in the eyes of the villagers.

This is not good, Zhang Caixuan coughed lightly, and said: "Actually, when I bought the land, I almost ran out of money. Afterwards, I spent all the money my uncle bought for the land to build the house."
