The next day, Tang Qiyue slept until Zhan Zeye came back from morning exercises. When she put her hands on the edge of the bed to support herself to sit up, she almost fell back.
Zhan Zeye, who was standing beside the bed, laughed out loud.
In return, he got a cold eye from his wife.
Fortunately, after Zhan Zeye laughed, he remembered to pick her up and help her put on her shoes.
"Remember to switch hands next time!"
It would have been fine if Zhan Zeye hadn't reminded her, but as soon as he reminded her, Tang Qiyue remembered what happened last night and her face turned red.
She ignored Zhan Zeye's cheerful concern and went to wash her face and brush her teeth.
I thought to myself that I would never be so stupid as to bring it up next time, and I couldn't feel sorry for the man.
She is the one who suffers.
Breakfast was seaweed soup, corn pancakes, and a plate of pickled mustard greens.
Tang Qiyue didn't show any disgust and actually ate it all.
Zhan Zeye could see that Tang Qiyue was indeed tired, otherwise he would have gotten up earlier and even prepared some extra snacks for him.
But thinking about what happened yesterday, he chose to keep quiet and not provoke Tang Qiyue.
After dinner, Zhan Zeye left immediately. Tang Qiyue went to the fishing village again. She thought about it and decided to find Shanhu to ask if her family had any dried seafood that could be given away.
Seafood is not realistic, after all, the weather is still hot. Once out of the sea, many seafood will rot. Dried seafood is more suitable.
Thinking that the villagers in the fishing village did not have a strong concept of money and still preferred food, Tang Qiyue decided to talk to Shanhu first. If there was really anything, she could exchange it for food. At worst, she had many other good things.
Coral's parents went out to sea early in the morning and have not returned yet. Coral is repairing the fishing nets. She doesn't go to the sea every day.
Seeing Tang Qiyue knocking on the door, he invited Tang Qiyue in and took out a bag of dried crab legs as snacks.
"We do have some dried seafood at home. My parents saved it and are waiting to exchange it for food when we can go inland. If you want it, Sister Qiyue, I'll give it to you. We go out to sea every day now, so we can just dry it slowly!"
People usually go out to exchange them in winter. At that time, people in inland areas are willing to spend money, and it is the New Year. Dried seafood is also a rare commodity and is convenient for giving as gifts.
Tang Qiuyue needs it now, so Shanhu will definitely give her priority.
Tang Qiuyue proposed to exchange it for food.
Shanhu said, "We still have plenty of food at home, so we're not short of it for now. We've traded a lot with the guys in the military camp before. It would be great if we could get some cloth. My parents go out to sea every day, and their clothes are patched up so many times that they're almost rotten!"
Tang Qiyue also noticed that Shanhu's clothes were all patched, and thought that they were reluctant to wear good clothes. It turned out that the fabric was too expensive, and they were reluctant to make more new clothes.
"That's easy. I have a lot of fabrics in my trousseau. You can go over and pick some!"
Shanhu was very happy. She thought this request was too much, but she didn't expect Tang Qiyue to agree so readily.
She opened her own warehouse and took Tang Qiyue directly in, letting her take a look for herself to see if there was anything she liked.
Tang Qiuyue took a look around and found that the small warehouse was filled with various dried seafood.
In the end, Tang Qiuyue selected a lot of dried shrimps, seaweed, and dried kelp. These are not rare items, but they are seafood that are recognized by people in the inland.
I also picked some dried seahorses and cuttlefish bones. These are medicinal herbs. One can be used to make wine, and the other is a rare medicinal herb, most suitable as a gift.
There were also some salted fish. Tang Qiuyue selected a few of them, all of which were small in size so as not to be too big to carry.
Shanhu thought Tang Qiyue was embarrassed and wanted to give her more.
"I have a box of sea pearls here. Take them back and give them to others. It will definitely make you look good. These used to be the best tribute items!"
The female divers all have some private collections of sea pearls.
Tang Qiyue nodded and was not polite.
Wild sea pearls are treasures, so she prepared some for her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and Zhan Zeye's sister-in-law. They didn't need many, just a pair of earrings for each person.
Point out the things you want and let Coral wait for her parents to come back to discuss how much they need to exchange. Then they can go to their house together to choose and then trade.
Shanhu originally wanted Tang Qiyue to take everything back, but Tang Qiyue disagreed.
Coral is still a child after all and cannot make decisions for her parents.
Besides, she was sincere in the deal and couldn't let Coral suffer any loss, so it was better to let her parents make the decision.
In the end, Coral couldn't resist her and had to agree.
Putting aside a worry, Tang Qiyue asked Shanhu about the fisherman's daughter.
Marrying for the second time is a big deal. Yu Niang's life was saved by Tang Qiuyue, and she still hopes that Yu Niang can live a good life.
Shanhu sighed, "If the fishing lady doesn't want to leave the fishing village, she must agree to it. Luckily, Dashan is the nephew of the village chief, and life at home is still okay. It would be better for the fishing lady to marry him than to marry that damn Biaozi!"
Tang Qiuyue asked about Dashan's situation in detail.
I learned that although he had a broken leg, he was still a relatively gentle person. At least I had never heard of him being moody and hitting people.
"As long as he doesn't beat his wife, Sister Yu Niang will definitely agree!"
After Shanhu finished speaking, Tang Qiyue was silent for a moment.
When did not beating your wife become the standard of a good man?
Isn't this a matter of course?
However, considering that ordinary men in this era still have very backward thinking, it is almost unrealistic to expect them to put women on an equal footing.
"Has the date been set?"
Tang Qiyue thought that when the time comes, she would come over to help Yu Niang with her makeup, which would be considered as a way of establishing a friendship with her.
"It's settled. We'll be moving in three days!"
Shanhu looked around and told Tang Qiyue in a low voice, "It's easy for a widow to marry again. All she needs to do is worship heaven and earth!"
Tang Qiyue: ...
There is no need for any ceremony.
"But Dashan is getting married for the first time, and his mother wants a grand ceremony, but Dashan disagrees, saying that he's a cripple and doesn't want to embarrass himself!"
Shanhu curled her lips: "To put it bluntly, Sister Yu Niang is still wronged!"
"You don't know, Dashan's mother said that after Dashan and Sister Yu Niang get married, they will separate and it will be Yu Niang who will support Dashan from now on!"
It was from Shanhu's story that Tang Qiyue learned about the situation of Dashan's family. After losing his labor force, Dashan became an abandoned child in the family.
Finding him a wife would be their compensation for abandoning this abandoned child.
Tang Qiyue sighed. No matter when, there are always some people who are not worthy of being parents.
"Sister Yu Niang will definitely not invite you over. She also finds it embarrassing. Let's go over together that day to have some fun so that she won't feel bad!"
Shanhu is a passionate person, so Tang Qiyue naturally agreed to her.
After chatting for a while, Tang Qiyue said goodbye to her and went back. This time, she finally didn't meet anyone she shouldn't have met on the road. However, when she got home, she remembered that she had promised to help Shanhu find out about the soldier she had her eyes on.
I thought there wasn't much time left, so I could wait until we exchanged things to tell her that the soldier was not allowed to marry her.
Before I opened the door, I saw someone squatting on the bluestone slab at the entrance.
